Chapter 549: No More Running, I Can't Run Anymore.

Boundless momentum stained heaven and earth, black clouds churning, filling the void.

The sky, which had been clear moments ago, now darkened completely, as if the end of the world had come.

Black lightning tore through the void, and a vast, surging force of destruction filled the entire expanse.

"Such powerful force."

Lin Fan was stunned by the power he felt.

He hadn't expected the Might Sovereign to be so petty. He had only destroyed a wisp of his divine sense, and now the bastard was descending in person. Did he have to be so ruthless?

What annoyed Lin Fan most was that all those novels were damn lies.

According to the usual plot in other novels, after he destroyed the Might Sovereign's divine sense, the Might Sovereign would at most bear a grudge and utter a few harsh words, vowing to kill him one day.

But now, seeing his divine sense destroyed, the Might Sovereign didn't hesitate at all and angrily descended in person.

Now that he thought about it, those tropes were all fake.

"Run."

In an instant, only one thought filled Lin Fan's mind: run as far as he could, never stop for a moment, or he would die without knowing how.

"A Step to the Horizon, Earth Spirit Long River."

Lin Fan exerted all his strength, turning and fleeing into the distance.

"A Step to the Horizon" was a divine skill, and with the boost from the Earth Spirit Long River, his speed was even greater.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan had vanished from his original spot.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the entire sky was violently torn apart by a pair of giant hands. A rift cut across heaven and earth, within which stars and moons flowed past—more domineering than any entrance anyone had ever made.

A colossal, terrifying head emerged from the rift. A pair of eyes, indescribably grim and sinister, swept across the world. His enormous mouth seemed capable of swallowing the entire Ancient Saint Realm in one gulp.

"A mere ant of a human, if you think you can escape my grasp, you are dreaming," the Might Sovereign's gloomy voice rang out.

"Burst, burst!" Lin Fan activated the Parasol Tree Divine Tree, sprinting with all his might, but the terrifying aura still lingered in his ears.

"He probably hasn't caught up, right?" Lin Fan didn't know where he had run, nor whether the Might Sovereign was still chasing him.

But when he turned his head to look at the void, he nearly jumped in fright.

A massive head, wedged in the rift, had been following him all along.

"Damn it, is there no way to survive?" Lin Fan exclaimed, utterly helpless. Especially when he sensed the Might Sovereign's cultivation level, he was blown away.

Divine Heaven Realm, seventh level: Ten Thousand Laws Return to One.

The Divine Heaven Realm had ten levels: True Dharma Realm, Domain Realm, Cave Heaven Realm, Undying Realm, Divine Sense Realm, Law Realm, Ten Thousand Laws Return to One, Heavenly Divine Pill, Eight Wastelands Unite, Eternal Divine Throne.

Lin Fan knew these levels, but they were unfamiliar to him because he was only at the Great Perfection of the Desolate Heaven Realm.

The only human experts he had met were Emperor Yuan and the others, but he didn't know their cultivation levels. Still, they should be stronger than the Might Sovereign.

Of course, that was just Lin Fan's guess.

Now the Might Sovereign was at the seventh level, Ten Thousand Laws Return to One, where all cultivation, essence, and spirit were fused into one, all true dharma seeds condensed into a single seed. Every move he made carried immense power.

"Hmph, still trying to run?" The Might Sovereign, close behind Lin Fan, suddenly roared.

With that roar, heaven and earth seemed to respond. Beams of light, like sharp swords, pierced through everything, shooting toward Lin Fan.

"What the hell is this now?" Lin Fan's hair stood on end in terror. Without hesitation, he began to run in a zigzag pattern.

Swish! Swish!

The beams of light pierced the earth, sinking deep into it.

Pfft!

"That hurts!" Lin Fan grimaced, cold sweat pouring down.

"Ding, congratulations, 'Eternal Imperishable' experience increased by 100,000."

"Ding, physical strength upgraded."

"Ding, physical strength: Desolate Heaven Realm, initial stage."

His physical body, already at the Great Perfection of the Azure Heaven Realm, was as fragile as paper under those blade-like beams, pierced at the slightest touch.

If not for his evasive maneuvers, he would have been riddled with holes by now.

And now, what use was all this experience? Unless he was truly seeking death, using it to level up was pointless.

"The ant that offended me has only one path: death." The Might Sovereign's arm extended from the rift. His sky-covering hand made a light grasping motion, and the land for a hundred miles shook violently.

A force of destruction, turning into streams, filled the earth. These streams surged rapidly, pressing in from all directions.

Boom!

Seeing this power, Lin Fan leaped out of the ground without a second thought.

"Damn, there's no way to fight this!" Lin Fan was at a loss. He had thought he could rely on his agile movements to escape, but now he realized it was just self-deception.

The gap in strength rendered everything meaningless.

No matter how agile his movements or how miraculous the Earth Spirit Long River, it was all useless.

Could it be that he, who had just declared himself the Human Emperor, was about to fall here?

How tragic, how sorrowful.

"Ant, why aren't you running?" The Might Sovereign looked at the desperately fleeing ant and sneered.

"No more running, I can't run anymore." Lin Fan immediately surrendered. Going head-to-head now would only hasten his death. Better to play dead and buy some time; maybe he could think of a way out.

In fact, Lin Fan even thought that if the other party wasn't very smart, he might be able to trick him, find an opening, and knock him out with a brick.

With that thought, Lin Fan's hope blazed anew.

"Heh, Human Emperor, I have descended in person. I really want to see how you plan to defeat me in two moves. I'm quite curious," the Might Sovereign said, his form gradually shrinking as he floated out of the rift. His imposing figure stood between heaven and earth, his eyes coldly fixed on Lin Fan.

Those cold eyes looked at Lin Fan as if he were nothing but an ant.

Lin Fan looked at the Might Sovereign awkwardly, inwardly speechless that the guy was still holding a grudge over that.

But in an instant, Lin Fan's brow twitched. He had a small idea, though he wasn't sure if it would work. Still, he had to try.

At that moment, Lin Fan's expression changed slightly, and he put on a fawning smile. "How could that be? Your Might Sovereign's divine skills are unmatched, your might extraordinary. In a hundred years, becoming the supreme being of the ancient races would be a sure thing. I'm just a lowly human; how dare I be presumptuous?"

At this point, Lin Fan's dignity was completely gone. If the countless races saw their most revered Human Emperor groveling before the Might Sovereign, they would be utterly heartbroken.

But now, only Lin Fan and the Might Sovereign were here. If he kept up his arrogant act, the Might Sovereign would definitely teach him a lesson, and then he would have no hope at all.
