Chapter 933: Will of Power

Within the imperial city.

The First Prince had taken off his shirt and was lying on the bed.

“It hurts like hell.”

The First Prince kept wailing; his back was covered with red marks. Although the skin was not broken, the pain tormented him beyond endurance.

“Your Highness, the elixir has arrived.” A master alchemist hurried over, holding a divine pill in his hands.

The First Prince’s cultivation was not weak; he could normally dispel such minor injuries on his own. But what shocked him was that no matter how he channeled his mana, these wounds simply would not fade.

“Hurry… hurry.” The First Prince shouted impatiently.

At this moment, he had no choice but to try the master alchemist’s divine pill.

When the First Prince swallowed the divine pill and waited for its effects, he found it utterly useless.

“How did you refine this pill? It’s completely ineffective!” the First Prince roared in fury.

The alchemist was so frightened that he fell to his knees, sweat pouring from his forehead.

The divine pill useless? How could that be? This pill was refined from a collection of multiple divine herbs—how could it be ineffective?

“My son, what is the matter?” Just then, a dignified voice came from outside.

A man in a yellow robe walked in with steady steps.

Seeing the visitor, the First Prince immediately began to complain, “Father, a shopkeeper in the city committed an act of insubordination…”

“Such a thing actually happened? Truly unforgivable!” The Emperor of Licheng City flew into a rage upon hearing this. This was a provocation against the royal family.

“My son, rest well. Your father will handle this for you.”

“Thank you, Father.” The First Prince was overjoyed. If his father intervened, that detestable fellow would surely be captured without resistance.

…

Little did the First Prince know that after his father returned, he summoned the imperial供奉. After inquiring about the matter, his expression became quite colorful.

“According to you, that young man did not strike ruthlessly; rather, he seems to be living in seclusion in Licheng City?”

Those 供奉, who had not even lasted a single move against Lin Fan, naturally nodded in agreement.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Even the Grand 供奉, whose strength has reached the Ninth Level of the Divine Heaven Realm, could not see how the opponent moved, just like the rest of us. Even a Tenth Level Divine Heaven Eternal Divine Throne Realm cultivator could not be that powerful. He must be at the Supreme Realm or higher,” said one 供奉.

Hearing this, the Emperor was naturally stunned. A cultivator above the Supreme Realm—that was a figure who defied the heavens.

Although they had the protection of a supreme being, Licheng City was merely a small city. The ancestor would not care about its survival or destruction.

“Then tell me, does this mysterious expert pose any danger to the imperial city?” He now wanted to know this above all.

“Probably not. An expert naturally has the dignity of an expert. The First Prince and the merchant’s daughter provoked him twice but suffered no mortal danger. As for us, he merely repelled us without doing anything more. It seems he wishes to live in seclusion in Licheng City.”

“In my opinion, it is a great blessing for the First Prince to form a connection with such an expert. If that mysterious expert truly wanted to kill the First Prince, even we could not stop him. After all, in the eyes of such an expert, we are but ants. If the First Prince handles this himself, he might even gain some opportunity,” said the 供奉.

The 供奉’s words brought a hint of joy to the Emperor’s heart.

A supreme expert—that was not bad at all.

As for the First Prince, who had hoped for his father’s help, he probably did not yet know that his father had already sold him out.

Shang Qingcheng was in a similar situation at home. The head of the Shang family shared the Emperor’s view, feeling that this was an opportunity. Thus, he merely pacified her verbally, letting Shang Qingcheng resolve the matter herself.

…

At this moment, after teaching the First Prince and Shang Qingcheng a lesson, Lin Fan felt quite pleased.

Sometimes, finding something to do was not bad.

Just then, Lin Fan’s brow furrowed as he gazed into the endless void.

This was the aura of a supreme being.

“Wantian, watch the shop.” Lin Fan rose and then vanished into the endless void.

Yang Wantian stared at his disappearing master, deeply shocked, wondering what kind of background his master truly had.

…

“Human Emperor, we meet for the first time.”

Just as Lin Fan appeared in the void, a voice reached his ears.

Lin Fan was startled—someone had discovered him.

“Human Emperor, do not be nervous. I mean no harm.”

When a figure appeared before Lin Fan, he was taken aback. “Pangu, the Power Demon God of the Ancient Clan.”

This Pangu looked like a member of the Ancient Clan, but his aura was calm, not as狂暴 as that of the Ancient Clan.

At the same time, in Lin Fan’s eyes, Pangu seemed to be the center of power, with a vast force erupting from his body.

This was ultimate power, capable of destroying everything, possessing the might to annihilate heaven and earth.

“Demon God Pangu, how did you discover me?” Lin Fan asked.

“I sensed you the moment you entered Licheng City,” Pangu said with a smile.

However, due to his Ancient Clan nature, the smile still looked somewhat intimidating.

“Don’t you want to kill me?” Lin Fan asked.

He was now a target for assassination in the minds of countless supreme beings, after all, he had snatched countless divine treasures.

And this Pangu Demon God was likely among the top existences among all supreme beings.

When power reached a certain level, anything could be destroyed with a single punch.

If he were to fight him, even his Primordial Realm Great Perfection physical body might not be able to withstand it.

“Haha, why would I want to kill you? I came this time merely to see what kind of person the Human Emperor is, who has toyed with countless supreme beings.”

“Are you protecting these beings? But you seem to be a Demon God of the Ancient Clan,” Lin Fan asked curiously.

“These are the people of my sworn brother. Unfortunately, my sworn brother fell several epochs ago, so I help look after them a bit,” said Pangu Demon God.

Lin Fan remained somewhat wary of Pangu.

If anything went wrong, he would retreat immediately.

Pangu Demon God noticed that Lin Fan was still on guard and chuckled. Then he spoke, “Your power is not bad, but it’s a pity you haven’t sought the true source of power. I’ll give you this.”

A golden imprint floated from Pangu Demon God’s palm. Within this golden imprint was a terrifying power.

“This…”

Lin Fan was dumbfounded. What was Pangu Demon God here for? Just to give him something?

“Don’t overthink it. This epoch is the last. Unfortunately, they don’t know that it’s not that fortune has run out, but that the external vessel is on the verge of death.”

“If they could transcend, they would have done so several epochs ago,” said Pangu Demon God.

“What do you mean?” Lin Fan’s head ached a little; the information revealed was too much.

“Haha, when you reach that level, you will understand. Knowing too early will only add pressure.”

Pangu Demon God laughed heartily, then tore through the void and vanished.

Lin Fan blinked. What the hell was that visit about?

But when he grasped the golden imprint, the system’s prompt sounded.

“Ding, discovered Will of Power.”
