Chapter 491: The Most Terrifying Magic Artifact Is About to Be Born

"I understand now. Every time I destroy this Earth Spirit Giant, it needs your power to support its reconstruction. Could it be that you, a primordial spirit, are going to have your power drained dry by me, a mere human?" Lin Fan looked at the silent Earth Spirit River and said with a smile.

"..." The Earth Spirit River had nothing to say, because this human was right.

By the reckoning of heaven and earth, sun and moon, this detestable human had been in the cave for three days and three nights.

Each time it shattered and reformed, it required power. But what terrified the Earth Spirit River was that this human seemed to possess inexhaustible strength; no matter how much he was beaten, he would bounce back and be full of vigor in an instant.

O heavens! O earth!

How could I, a dignified primordial Earth Spirit, encounter such a loathsome human? Could it be that I, the primordial Earth Spirit, having just been born, am about to be subdued by a human?

"My little Earth Spirit, if you have any more tricks, just bring them out. Your young master is ready to take them on." Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Human, that's enough. I am the primordial Earth Spirit. If you plunder me, this land will lose all vitality." The Earth Spirit River said.

"Ha, what's that to me? The Ancient Saint Realm is controlled by the ancient clans. If plundering you makes this land barren, that's exactly what I want." Lin Fan said with a smile. This little Earth Spirit claiming to control the earth was nothing but bragging.

But if it were true, so much the better—let these ancient clans understand what disaster means.

The Earth Spirit River was now somewhat panicked. It hadn't expected that this human couldn't be bluffed.

"I am the primordial Earth Spirit. Even if you plunder me, you cannot control me. My will is not something a human like you can dominate." The Earth Spirit River watched as this human slowly approached, and inwardly it was growing flustered.

"Hehe, little Earth Spirit, don't panic. Stick with me, and you'll eat well and drink well—I'll make you soar to the skies." Lin Fan, like a big bad wolf, looked at the Earth Spirit River with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

The Earth Spirit River was a must-have; once integrated into the "Demon City," it would surely unleash even greater power.

In this Ancient Saint Realm, filled with brutal ancient clans, if one didn't enhance their strength, they couldn't protect anyone.

"Don't touch me..." The Earth Spirit River roared in fury as it saw the human reach out its hand.

But these resistances were futile, for once Lin Fan set his sights on something, nothing ever escaped.

"Ding, congratulations on discovering the Primordial Earth Spirit."

"Primordial Earth Spirit: Born from heaven and earth, extremely precious. Can be used for alchemy or artifact refining, with endless marvelous uses."

Lin Fan grabbed the Earth Spirit River in his hand, and no matter how it struggled, it could not escape Lin Fan's clutches.

"Human, please let me go." The Earth Spirit River now cowered.

Ever since it was conceived, it knew it was a treasure in the eyes of countless people, sought after by many. Thus, it had always hidden deep within the earth, not daring to venture out recklessly.

But every hundred years, a passage had to open at its hiding place to absorb the sacred spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Many people had stumbled upon it by chance over the years.

But every one of them died in that passage.

Even those who reached this place were slain by the Earth Spirit Giant.

But now, it never expected that a human could be so powerful, truly terrifying—someone who couldn't be killed no matter how hard you tried.

Lin Fan looked at the Earth Spirit River. "I know you are innocent, but I have reasons for needing to become stronger. Rest assured, when I attain the pinnacle, I will set you free."

"No... no, let me go..." The Earth Spirit River struggled, not believing Lin Fan's words at all.

The Earth Spirit River itself was not strong, but its uses were endless. Unfortunately, before Lin Fan, all was futile.

Lin Fan said no more.

"Demon City."

In an instant, the semi-finished pseudo-divine artifact "Demon City" floated in the void. Within this "Demon City," an ancient great demon stood tall, its majestic posture suppressing the ages.

The moment the "Demon City" appeared, the Earth Spirit River in Lin Fan's hand began to tremble.

"Don't do this, let me go, please." The Earth Spirit River shrieked and pleaded.

"Sigh." Lin Fan looked at the Earth Spirit River's state and shook his head helplessly. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he tossed the Earth Spirit River toward the "Demon City."

The ancient great demon's eyes flashed with brilliance, and its demonic aura surged as a giant hand caught the Earth Spirit River in its palm.

"Refine."

"Ah... help..." The Earth Spirit River roared.

But the "Demon City" suddenly shot up five pillars of light, representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Currently, it only possessed pseudo-five spirits; to advance, it needed to be fully converted into true five spirits.

A suction force violently erupted, pulling at the Earth Spirit River.

"No..."

In an instant, the Earth Spirit River was swept in and merged into the "Demon City."

"Heaven and Earth Furnace!"

With a thought, Lin Fan summoned the Heaven and Earth Furnace and tossed the "Demon City" into it.

"Refine."

Although the Earth Spirit River was a primordial spirit, it still contained many impurities.

Lin Fan sought perfection and naturally would not allow these impurities to remain.

"Ding, congratulations on successful refinement."

When the "Demon City" flew out of the "Heaven and Earth Furnace," Lin Fan's eyes sparkled with brilliance.

The "Demon City" had become even more powerful.

Within the "Demon City," at the five cardinal positions, the place where the Earth Spirit River resided surged with power, channeling into the central area. The bloodline of the ancient great demon gradually elevated, and boundless demonic aura erupted violently.

If not for being inside the cave, the heavens and earth would surely have changed color.

Roar!

At the center of the "Demon City," the ancient great demon roared repeatedly, demonic aura sweeping through the entire cave. A scroll unfurled, depicting the ancient great demon's awe-inspiring scene that intimidated the ages.

"Good, it did not disappoint me." Lin Fan was overjoyed. Although the "Demon City" had not undergone a transformation, its power had indeed increased significantly.

Once he gathered the other four primordial spirits, it would surely evolve into a pseudo-divine artifact.

Now Lin Fan understood just how rare divine artifacts were.

Being able to refine a divine artifact like the "Nine-Five Big Red Brick" was already an extraordinary feat.

How he wished he could have another burst of inspiration and refine another divine artifact.

Lin Fan crooked his finger, and from the "Demon City" flowed a stream of earthy yellow energy.

This was the power of the Earth Spirit.

A smile curled at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth as he took out the horn of the Three-Headed Giant King.

"It's time to refine artifacts again." Lin Fan wanted to craft a treasure. For someone as clever as Lin Fan, the treasure he made would naturally not be too ordinary.

And what could this horn be used to refine?

Lin Fan fell into deep thought. After considering for a while, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Haha... not bad, it can work..." Lin Fan's eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint.

The ancient clans were brutal races. Little master didn't need to play fair with them; as long as he could kill them, that was enough.
