Chapter 201: Chapter 0198: Praise for Direct Honesty

The battle between Lin Fan and Ji Zhenmo.

It was incredibly intense.

Lin Fan executed the Sound-breaking Demon Saber Technique. Normally, with his opponent’s cultivation level, even if he managed to block it, he should have exerted some effort. But unexpectedly, Ji Zhenmo had a protective artifact that transformed into a radiant light and directly repelled the attack.

"Hmph, this Divine Skill is decent, but if you think it can kill me, you’re just daydreaming."

"Exterminating Immortal Seal!"

Ji Zhenmo roared in anger. Raising his hand, he condensed a stream of brilliant light in his palm, which culminated in the appearance of the Exterminating Immortal Seal. The seal was infused with Demonic Qi, shrouded in a sinister red glow, and faint wails of vengeful souls echoed within it.

This was an upper-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Extraordinary, indeed.

The Spiritual Artifact was a gift from Ji Zhenmo’s father. Its creation was extremely intricate, requiring the killing of countless powerful beings, imprisoning their Divine Souls, and roasting them with Demon Fire. Their boundless resentment was then fused using a ground-breaking demonic technique to refine their Divine Souls into Demon Souls.

In addition, it required combining numerous rare materials, achieving an unprecedented unity of demonic forces.

Only by engraving countless Arrays onto it could this upper-grade Spiritual Artifact be completed.

This seal contained more than two thousand Arrays and had nearly reached the pinnacle of upper-grade Spiritual Artifacts. With the right rare materials and access to an Innate Demon Lair brimming with Demonic Qi, it could be further refined into a Dao Artifact.

"Die, your Divine Soul shall become one of the Demon Souls within the Exterminating Immortal Seal!"

"You righteous Immortal Dao disciples are perfect fodder for my weapon!"

As his words fell,

The Exterminating Immortal Seal erupted with a menacing glow, releasing a thick black beam as wide as a barrel.

Lin Fan, confronted with Ji Zhenmo’s killing technique, remained expressionless, unshaken. He then unleashed the Yellow Springs Hell, invoking the Hell Origin. A Hell Spear materialized out of thin air and forcibly shot toward the black beam.

Crack!

The Hell Spear shattered instantly, unable to withstand the overwhelming force of the Exterminating Immortal Seal.

"Impressive! An upper-grade Spiritual Artifact is truly formidable. It seems that my Mana is insufficiently robust. If my reserves were doubled, the Hell Spear I conjured could have pierced directly through your body."

Lin Fan was engulfed by the black beam.

"Hahaha!" Ji Zhenmo burst into wild laughter, arrogant and unruly. However, his expression soon turned grim—something seemed amiss. The Exterminating Immortal Seal had failed to absorb Lin Fan’s Divine Soul, as though it were being obstructed by an unknown force.

"Don’t rejoice too soon."

Lin Fan stood there unharmed, casually patting his chest.

A mother’s love had protected him once again.

How wonderful.

"You must have a treasure on you!" Ji Zhenmo refused to believe Lin Fan escaped unscathed, deducing his survival must be due to a powerful artifact shielding him from the Exterminating Immortal Seal’s suppression.

Lin Fan smiled and replied, "Indeed, but you wouldn’t understand, because you don’t have a mother."

Ji Zhenmo let out a cold snort.

He threw the Exterminating Immortal Seal into the air.

Then, forming a hand seal, he chanted in an ancient mystic tongue. In that instant, the Exterminating Immortal Seal radiated a dazzling brilliance, its glow enveloping the heavens and earth, releasing torrents of Demonic Qi sweeping outward.

Within the surging Demonic Qi appeared dozens of howling Demon Souls, shrieking as if poised to launch an assault.

"Thirty-eight Immortal Dao experts’ souls have been refined into Demon Souls. Let’s see how you handle this!"

Ji Zhenmo’s control over the Exterminating Immortal Seal had reached near mastery.

The earlier strike was merely a standard attack.

Truthfully speaking,

Lin Fan was indeed struggling to deal with Ji Zhenmo. Certainly, if he used the Reversing Azure Four Saints Set, this guy wouldn’t even know how he died.

But Lin Fan didn’t want to rely on the Reversing Azure Four Saints Set every time to suppress enemies.

He wanted to savor the thrill and joy of the battlefield. Battles without excitement lacked soul.

Just like "bang bang bang..."

If you refuse to exert effort and merely stand aside while letting others handle everything, how could the experience be remotely the same?

So he resolved to rely on his own efforts to prevail.

"Supreme God Talisman!"

Lin Fan summoned the talisman he had taken from the madman’s forehead.

As the talisman appeared, the world trembled. Stars seemed to orbit around the talisman, and the surrounding space creaked under immense pressure.

Hovering in midair, it radiated an awe-inspiring brilliance. The ground seemed to sink, the sky stretched higher, as if this talisman were the embodiment of an invincible Emperor Immortal, demanding worship and reverence from all while forbidding any from approaching.

He gazed up at the talisman.

It was his first time using it, and he had never expected the Supreme God Talisman to be this powerful. This talisman did not belong to a world of cultivation but rather to the Immortal Realm, where it should be wielded by some supreme entity of unimaginable power.

It seemed this talisman contained an independent will—a ruler and creator of the talisman domain, reigning as its progenitor.

"What is this thing?"

"What kind of treasure is this?"

Ji Zhenmo’s voice trembled with fear. He had summoned thirty-eight Demon Souls with the Exterminating Immortal Seal, but under the brilliance of the talisman, the souls instantly dissipated into nothingness.

The overwhelming surge of Demonic Qi was shattered by its light.

Lin Fan was astounded.

He had known the talisman was formidable but hadn’t imagined it to be this terrifyingly capable.

Damn!

If that was the case, why bother hesitating?

"Ji Zhenmo, you mother-stealing bastard, see you never!"

"Suppress!"

Lin Fan roared aloud, his Mana surging. The Supreme God Talisman descended, unleashing an oppressive force that made Ji Zhenmo tremble uncontrollably. Even the Exterminating Immortal Seal, suspended in the sky, began to quiver and crack, as though ready to topple at any moment.

"I am the Demon Child of the Blood Sea Divine Sect! How dare you act so recklessly against me?"

Ji Zhenmo roared in protest.

He unleashed all his treasures, among them other upper-grade Spiritual Artifacts, and activated the Supreme Demon Technique to its fullest extent, even though he had yet to master it.

For him, it was a final act of defiance.

Bang!

Bang!

The treasures he released fell like broken artifacts, unable to withstand the Supreme God Talisman.

Even the Exterminating Immortal Seal cracked and plummeted to the ground.

"No! I don’t believe this!"

"Reversal of Heaven and Earth!"

"Demon God Devouring Method!"

The unleashed torrents of Demonic Qi collided with the talisman, only to dissolve into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

"Ahhh!"

Ji Zhenmo felt the oppressive force intensify, the divine radiance scorching his body and shaking his Divine Soul to its core.

"My father is the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Blood Sea Divine Sect! You cannot kill me!"

"Spare me!"

"Show mercy!"

Facing death, Ji Zhenmo succumbed to sheer terror and begged for his life.

Lin Fan responded, "Even if your dad were my son, this grandpa of yours would still cut ties with him today and kill you dead!"

Having already sealed this enmity, there was no intention of staying his hand.

Slay the enemy and flee.

Sweet as honey.

Boom!

The talisman descended.

The land quaked, and everything returned to calm.

"Whew!"

Lin Fan felt utterly drained, his Mana completely depleted. The cost of using the Supreme God Talisman was far greater than expected—truly beyond his imagination.

With a wave of his hand, he reclaimed the talisman.

Though barely palm-sized, its destructive power was utterly astonishing.

Now, it was time to collect the loot.

His requirements weren’t high—

As long as it replenished his Mana, he’d be satisfied. Currently, Mana was what he needed most.

[Acquired Great Divine Power: Demon God Devouring Method.]

[Acquired Magic: Seven Emotions and Six Desires Finger.]

[Acquired Spirit Root: Fourth-Grade Demon Spirit Root.]

[Acquired Item: Cangsheng Demon Ancestor Treasure Map.]

That was it.

A bit disappointing.

The loot was decent but didn’t include what he needed most—Mana.

Lin Fan immediately approached Ji Zhenmo’s corpse.

Though his opponent’s death had been particularly wretched, Lin Fan had no qualms about taking everything of value. Hesitation wasn’t an option.

The Exterminating Immortal Seal remained intact, albeit heavily cracked, evidence of the immense strain it suffered in the recent battle.

He swiftly scavenged everything he could.

All items were seized without hesitation.

Especially the Eighth-Grade Spirit Grass.

As for the two elder corpses, there was nothing left on them—no treasures to loot. They had already been slain and ransacked once before; what more could one expect to find?

Whoosh!

Lin Fan transformed into a streak of light, leaving the scene.

Killing and plundering.

This place was too dangerous to linger in, so he decided to take refuge in Heavenly Treasure Pavilion City.

Somewhere.

A crazed old man, seemingly mad, aimlessly wandered a dense forest. Suddenly, he shuddered violently and cast his gaze toward the distance. His eyes flared like beams of light piercing through the clouds.

Letting out a shrill cry, he sped toward the direction of Lin Fan’s recent battle.

Blood Sea Divine Sect.

A powerful faction within the Demon Path.

In a secret chamber.

A middle-aged man surrounded by blood energy suddenly felt uneasy, as though something had severed its bond with him.

"What’s going on?"

"How could the Demon Essence Holy Embryo lose its connection to me?"

The man furrowed his brow before seemingly realizing something. Abruptly ceasing his cultivation, the blood energy around him receded into his body, and he quickly left the chamber.

Arriving at the room containing the disciple Life Lamps,

He noticed that one of the Life Lamps had extinguished. It was none other than his son’s.

"Who did this?!"

His face turned dark and foreboding. Invoking a bloodline tracking technique, he vanished on the spot in pursuit.

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion City.

In an inn.

"So expensive! Twenty Spirit Stones per night? Why not just go rob someone?" Lin Fan grumbled as he rented a room. But when he stepped inside, his eyes sparkled with surprise, for two pure and lovely young women stood waiting for him.

Both women had low cultivation levels, merely at the first stage of the Post-Mortal realm.

Unexpectedly, this was an H-level inn.

"Ladies, what is the meaning of this?" Lin Fan asked, feigning an upright demeanor.

The women bowed slightly and replied, "Young Master, we are your personal attendants for the night, here to rid you of loneliness and troubles."

Rid?

In what way exactly?

"And how would you accomplish that?" Lin Fan asked.

One of the women responded, "By unveiling ourselves to you and doing whatever the Young Master desires."

Damn!

They sure didn’t beat around the bush.

This inn truly knew how to cater to its customers.

It seemed they understood that charging twenty Spirit Stones per night was exorbitant. Offering perks like this was probably their way of placating high-level cultivators and preventing them from razing the place in fury.

However,

Does Lin Fan seem like the kind of man to indulge in such activities?

Even if beauties fell into his lap, he would remain unshaken!

"No need. Both of you may leave. As a disciple of a righteous Immortal Dao sect, I absolutely cannot partake in such activities."

"Go now."

Lin Fan waved dismissively, resolute and morally righteous in his rejection of their offer.

"As you wish, Young Master." The young women showed no reluctance, respectfully exiting the room.

"Such poor girls, forced into these circumstances. The cultivation world is indeed a dark and cruel place. Thankfully, they encountered someone upstanding like me."

"Had they crossed paths with a degenerate,

"The consequences would’ve been dire."

Lin Fan sighed deeply, shaking his head in lamentation as he admired his own integrity.
