Chapter 567: I'm Going to Get You Today

The Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor was shocked. He couldn't even pick up this Dao artifact. It was utterly baffling. With his current cultivation, he could crush a mountain with one claw.

But he was determined to obtain this Dao artifact and would never let it go.

Dao artifacts were hard to come by. Even after wandering the Ancient Saint Realm for so long, he had never seized one.

"Boy, I don't know what secret technique you've used, but what I set my eyes on will be mine. If you don't want to die horribly, surrender and hand over the Dao artifact obediently."

The Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor looked down on Lin Fan and the others. Dense swarms of enormous blood bats spread their wings and squeaked.

Their ferocious, bloodthirsty appearance shook Tian Yun and the others, filling them with terror.

Although the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor's cultivation wasn't earth-shattering, his methods were extremely cruel. Even a cultivator stronger than him could be killed by him if caught off guard, drained of all blood, and have their essence, energy, and spirit dissipated.

They couldn't fight him head-on.

At the same time, Tian Yun and the others felt utterly helpless. If it were any other Cave Heaven realm expert, they might have a chance to escape, but they had encountered a freak like the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor.

At that moment, Tian Yun and Mu Qing turned their gaze to Lin Fan, as if he were their pillar of strength and their only hope for survival.

"Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor?" Lin Fan stepped forward, his aura erupting violently, suppressing the surrounding blood bats.

Although these blood bats weren't highly cultivated, their sheer numbers made them troublesome.

"That's right, it's me, old man. Boy, hand over the Dao artifact, and I might be in a good mood and spare your lives," said the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor.

His sharp nose twitched slightly, able to sniff out the foundation of all living things in the world.

"The surging, powerful human bloodline inside you is a supreme delicacy. For a creature like you, I'll raise you in my cave heaven, draw blood daily, and make you suffer unbearable pain. But if you offer the Dao artifact to me, I swear I won't harm your life." The Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor's mind was entirely on the Dao artifact.

For the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor, following the Cloud Sect into this secret realm was originally to plunder resources, but he unexpectedly encountered these stray disciples.

And one of them even had a Dao artifact. In the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor's eyes, this was his opportunity.

The Cloud Sect was a behemoth, a sect in the Ancient Saint Realm qualified to contend with the ancient clans.

It was filled with experts, many races, and gathered prodigies from all clans.

Thus, even though the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor was ambitious, he dared not openly clash with the Cloud Sect.

Once, because he drained a Cloud Sect disciple, he was hunted by several Cloud Sect elders for days and finally killed by one elder with a single slap. If not for a surviving blood bat, he would have long since vanished.

"You swear not to kill me, but you'll have your blood bats drain our essence, energy, and spirit. Do you take us for three-year-olds?" Lin Fan sneered.

"Hmph, I offer you a way out, and you don't appreciate it. Then I'll kill you one by one and seize the Dao artifact." At that moment, the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor grew angry. A fierce aura emanated from him, surging like waves to engulf Lin Fan.

"I'll protect your escape. I'll find you after I shake off this Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor." Lin Fan remained calm in the face of danger and punched backward.

That punch was vast and unstoppable, carrying Lin Fan's understanding of fist techniques. A fist deity roared ferociously, unleashing tens of millions of punches in an instant, blasting away the blood bats blocking their path.

"Be careful yourself," said Red Cloud Fairy. She knew that if they stayed, they couldn't help Lin Fan and might even become a burden.

"Don't worry, that stinky bat doesn't have the ability to kill me," Lin Fan said.

Tian Yun glanced at Lin Fan, then cupped his fists.

The three turned into a rainbow and left.

The Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor didn't stop them. His target was Lin Fan. As long as Lin Fan stayed, he let those ants go.

Red Cloud Fairy and the others moved quickly, soon leaving the range of the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor's blood bats.

"Senior Sister, do you think he'll be okay?" Tian Yun asked worriedly.

"I don't know, but he should be fine," Red Cloud Fairy said uncertainly. "Let's hurry and find the elders. If we're quick, we can return to rescue him."

"That's all we can do."

...

Now, Lin Fan and the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor stood facing each other. In the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor's eyes, this guy was already fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

"Boy, not bad. You let them escape knowing you can't win. But rest assured, after I kill you, they won't escape my grasp," the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor said with a cold laugh.

"Enough nonsense. I want to see what a Cave Heaven realm expert can do." Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, his battle intent soaring. He wanted to see the difference between himself and a Divine Heaven rank three Cave Heaven realm cultivator.

"Overreaching yourself. Bat God Demon Cave."

At that moment, the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor punched out. Circular blood-colored ripples spread from his fist like ripples.

"Suffer well in my cave heaven. I'm definitely taking that Dao artifact." The Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor greedily eyed the precious Dao artifact.

Especially the aura emanating from the Dao artifact, which excited him immensely. The rich bloodline of the artifact spirit made him feel that if he could absorb its blood, his cave heaven would advance again.

These blood ripples expanded rapidly, enveloping Lin Fan in an instant. The sky was no longer bright but filled with blood.

The heavens above were a patch of blood red, constantly shifting as if covered in chunks of flesh.

But Lin Fan knew these were blood bats. This was the Ten-Thousand-Bat Ancestor's cave heaven.

Any creature within this cave heaven would be drained dry by the endless blood bats.

Lin Fan loved fighting above his level, but after entering the Divine Heaven rank, he found that each realm had a vast difference.

Fighting above his level like before was too difficult.

But for Lin Fan, he would turn the impossible into possible. So what if it was Divine Heaven rank three Cave Heaven realm? He would rely on his own hands and the system's assistance to crush everything and turn the impossible into reality.

He possessed countless advanced top-tier techniques and countless bug-like magical items.

Today, he would have a good fight with this so-called Divine Heaven rank three Cave Heaven realm expert.
