Accidentally invincible!
Chapter 197 - 194: Entering Immortal Level

Chapter 197: Chapter 194: Entering Immortal Level

Lin Fan had no idea that his words would cause such a huge misunderstanding.

If he said, it was all a misunderstanding.

That wasn’t my intention at all.

Would you believe him?

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

A decent place, neither within the territory of the Immortal Dao Sects nor the Demon Sect.

Perhaps it was for the sake of facilitating trade.

The location of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion sat at a barren intersection, where endless yellow sand swirled through the skies, and in a sandstorm, even your parents couldn’t recognize you.

Lin Fan executed his Innate Divine Ability and soared a hundred miles with one flap.

Although he didn’t actually have wings, he still spread his arms wide and gently flapped them—proof that even without wings, his arms could achieve the same effect.

The speed was astonishing.

At that moment.

A strange phenomenon occurred.

"Hmm!"

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Stop it, someone save me!"

Lin Fan almost lost his balance mid-flight upon hearing the voice.

Whose voice was that?

It sounded ridiculously seductive.

If he hadn’t cultivated to the level where even seductive illusions like a Red Powder Skull wouldn’t faze him,

In situations like this, he might’ve thought, "Any way you need help, I, Lin Fan, am willing to risk my life to assist you."

But...

Lin Fan paused, furrowing his brow in thought.

In this desolate wilderness,

To suddenly hear such an overly provocative voice,

Something was off.

Very off.

This kind of scenario happened frequently in Journey to the West.

Tang Seng: "Disciple, your master is starving."

Monkey: "Master, hold on; I’ll go beg for food now. (Useless master, teaches me nothing but always makes me beg for food.)"

Then, in the wild, deserted mountains, a charming village girl carrying a basket would appear.

Village Girl: "Master, please have some food."

Tang Seng: "Thank you, benefactor."

And then, nothing more—it turned out the girl was a disguised demon and kidnapped him.

So for Lin Fan, tricks like these were child’s play. Encountering someone as experienced as him? Clearly, they had picked the wrong target.

In a small grove.

A delicate woman, as if possessed by a drama spirit, coyly covered her body, tearfully leaning pitifully against a tree root.

"Help me."

"Someone save me."

She had been shouting for so long that her voice had gone hoarse.

"Get lost! Your stench is so strong anyone could sniff you out!" the woman cursed.

A big man replied, "What if an expert shows up? We’d be dead meat, just because of your ridiculous idea. You’re risking our lives here!"

"Afraid of what? I’ll keep shouting—you two just act more convincingly. And no more nonsense! If I can’t eat humans today, I’ll eat the two of you instead!" the woman snarled viciously.

Then, in an instant, her expression changed.

She resumed her frail act.

"Help."

"Help me, don’t do this."

The two big men looked at the woman as if she were an idiot. Damn, there was still some distance between them and her, so they stomped in place, flailing their arms dramatically as if lunging at her.

It was way too fake.

That’s not how you act.

Suddenly.

A voice rang out.

"Broad daylight, under heaven and earth, and yet such audacious mischief? Let’s see who you are!"

Lin Fan descended from the sky, landing on a nearby tree branch.

The woman was overjoyed; her cries became even more sultry, maximizing her pitiful charm.

"Help me, help me!"

The two big men hefted their Nine-Ring Great Choppers, glaring murderously at Lin Fan. "Kid, are you trying to ruin our plans?"

"Not at all, go ahead. In all my years traveling the world, I’ve never witnessed such a ferocious outdoor encounter. Don’t worry, I’ll keep watch for you; no one will disturb you," Lin Fan said.

The two big men exchanged glances.

They didn’t understand.

What in the world did he just say?

But it didn’t matter; they had a script to follow. All they needed to do was stick to it.

"Kid, if you want to save this woman, then come on—we’ll see how many lives you have for us to cut through!"

"Ahhh!"

One of the big men swung his Nine-Ring Great Saber, his face twisted ferociously, growling menacingly like he truly intended to hack Lin Fan to death.

The woman inwardly applauded their performance.

Good acting.

They deserved extra drumsticks later.

"Pathetic."

Lin Fan couldn’t care less about the three and flew off without a second glance.

The ferocious big man froze in place as the opponent left without hesitation.

What was going on?

The woman was dumbstruck for a moment before muttering under her breath, "You idiot! Why did you have to act so aggressive? You scared him off!"

The big man was speechless. How was this his fault?

"My fierceness is to blame?"

In the distance.

"Wait."

Lin Fan abruptly stopped, frowning deeply. He had nearly dismissed the three minor imps, not even bothering to lift a hand.

But just now, when observing one of the big men,

He seemed to notice something extraordinary.

A Salamander Demon.

Though its cultivation was weak, so much so that Lin Fan didn’t even feel the urge to act,

In the item-drop display,

A particular Innate Divine Ability caught his eye.

Limb Regeneration.

This sort of Innate Divine Ability was quite extraordinary.

Not even someone in the True Immortal Realm could regenerate limbs—a feat reserved only for perfected Immortals, who underwent a fundamental transformation of their Immortal Bodies.

For this Salamander Demon to possess such a skill, it might seem useless to Immortals,

But to Lin Fan, it was an unparalleled treasure.

Turn around!

The woman and the two big men were preparing to change locations when they saw Lin Fan returning.

The drama-possessed woman resumed her cries: "Save me, save me! They intend to do unspeakable things to me!"

Lin Fan leaped down.

The woman’s heart leaped with joy.

They could feast on a cultivator once again.

Their demonic aura concealed, they were undetectable by ordinary means.

As long as he approached to save her,

It meant he had taken the bait.

But just then.

The woman sensed something was off. When he jumped down from the branch, his landing position seemed... wrong.

By all logic,

He should’ve landed in front of her, standing like a wall to block all danger, giving her his back. But now...

Splat!

Lin Fan landed with both feet on the woman’s body. A crunch was heard, like a water balloon popping, followed by a spray of liquid everywhere.

"Eh! She’s dead."

"Landed in the wrong spot."

Lin Fan glanced down at the woman, whose eyes were wide open in death, as if she wanted to say something but never got the chance.

Soon, her body began to transform, shrinking down rapidly.

It turned into a furry lump.

From the squashed mess, it was hard to discern what kind of demon she had been.

But... that didn’t matter.

Lin Fan’s eyes fixated on the big man.

Clang!

The two big men, stunned by Lin Fan’s brutal methods, dropped their weapons, their mouths agape, eyes wide as if they’d seen a ghost.

They never expected things to turn out this way.

"Run!"

The two big men screamed as they bolted into the distance.

Oh god!

Help!

This guy is a monster!

Even as demons, all they did was toss cultivators into a pot. But this guy had stomped their companion to mush with one step! What kind of human does something so horrifying?

Even demons wouldn’t be this brutal!

In an instant.

A cold gleam flashed.

Splat!

The two fleeing big men were instantly dissected.

Walking the martial arts world, slaying demons and upholding justice is our duty.

One big man turned into a wild boar.

The other transformed into a salamander.

Lin Fan stood still, silently praying.

"The Three Pure Ones, The Buddha, Jade Emperor, Jesus, Satan... It doesn’t matter who blesses me. As long as I get a drop, I, Lin Fan, will have a hundred sons to repay this incredible favor."

The drop appeared.

[Obtained Innate Divine Ability: Limb Regeneration.]

[Limb Regeneration (Ascension-level): A Salamander Demon’s innate ability. Lose any of five limbs, and they can regrow without consuming mana. Limited to five regrown limbs.]

Amazing!

Lin Fan clenched his fists, thrilled.

But wait.

Something seemed off.

Ascension-level?

Iron, Bronze, Gold.

These were the only levels he had encountered so far.

So what exactly was this Ascension-level?

Was it above Gold?

And moreover, how had that weak Salamander Demon, not even at the Immortal First Level, dropped such a high-tier Innate Divine Ability?

It didn’t make sense.

Lin Fan pondered this conundrum.

After a while.

He figured it out.

Once one becomes an Immortal, their Immortal Body undergoes transformation, each limb brimming with unimaginable energy.

Even for Immortals, regenerating limbs would likely require immense cost.

But this Innate Divine Ability needed no cost—it truly was monstrous.

Which explained its Ascension-level classification.

"Hahaha." Lin Fan laughed. "Not bad luck at all. I bumped into three small fries, casually killed them, and got an amazing drop. Destiny must favor me, Lin Fan, for me to be this formidable."

Cultivation was all about good fortune.

Those blessed carried their luck wherever they went.

And Lin Fan was no less blessed than anyone.

Half a month later!

Lin Fan stepped into a barren land. He had reached the vicinity of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Yellow sand blanketed the sky, and the world seemed drenched in dusk.

As he ventured further.

He saw numerous cultivators and even some demons.

All hastened toward the distance with purposeful strides.

For a place to maintain this kind of atmosphere, even when the Immortal Dao Sects were eradicating demons, the power of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion truly could not be underestimated.
