Many questions floated through Luo Fan's mind, but he could never see through the root of the problem. He couldn't even fully understand the palace in front of him.
The rolling lightning intensified, seemingly determined to obliterate the cheater. The dark god who had attracted the lightning, after being struck by bolts of lightning, had his small body blasted into pieces and vanished.
The tribulation lightning regrouped around Luo Fan, but the guardian's protective shield, having been repeatedly struck by destructive forces, was now in grave danger.
"Haha~, you brat, your divine favor is about to descend upon you!"
"After I seize that energy and kill you, I'll go and fight that piece of trash for the scepter!"
"I had the last laugh, and it was only right! A fool and a piece of trash, and they still wanted to compete with me!"
"Foolish thing, if you release that thing down there at the end, do you think you'll have a chance to live?" the guardian spirit roared.
"It's just a demonic soul. As long as I possess the Staff of Time, I can seal it away once more!"
Unable to sense the location where the guy was speaking, Luo Fan panicked a little. Without the replenishment from the gift of heaven and earth, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the latter part of the attack with his meager remaining life force.
The power of the tribulation lightning is still slowly diminishing, and that blessing is about to take shape. In his current state, with his body leaking air everywhere, he simply cannot compete with a complete god.
Looking at the palace right in front of him, and at the gap in the shield that hadn't fully healed, Luo Fan charged in without hesitation, carrying the lightning bolts around him.
"Haha~, what a fool, so eager to die!"
"Hey, there's another sealed-off alternate dimension over there. Did you bring your family with you during your tribulation?"
That guy even found out where Xiaoxue and the others were!
"Break!"
Anxious, Luo Fan no longer concealed his intentions. The Blade of Time struck again, along with the lightning tribulation, and slammed into the barrier, shattering the defensive array into pieces.
In this situation, only by finding the Time Scepter, which even the Dark God covets, might there be a chance to turn the tide. Xiaoxue and the others absolutely cannot be harmed!
"The power of time!"
Two voices from different sources appeared, and the Dark God reappeared, quickly chasing after Luo Fan. Meanwhile, the array spirit, severely injured, hid in the main hall.
"Come back here right now!"
The little brat roared, but the spreading lightning power slowed his arrival.
At this moment, a somewhat deranged Luo Fan had already appeared in front of the main hall. The giant blade of spacetime, formed from divine thought, carrying destructive power, pierced fiercely into the core of the main hall.
A powerful turbulence was triggered, and after a huge explosion, the entire palace was shattered. A weapon resembling a magic staff was activated, radiating golden light, and blocked the residual power of Luo Fan's burst of energy.
Inside, Luo Fan sensed a familiar power of time, but it was clearly much stronger.
"Why do you still have the inscription of time?!"
The little brat stopped to the side, his eyes fixed on the scepter that was rising into the air. His face was very ugly, but he didn't dare to fly over.
As for the guardian spirit, it had vanished. But Luo Fan also discovered that something was stirring restlessly in the lower levels of the palace.
Could that Time Scepter be suppressing something terrifying?
"Alas, a great calamity is about to be born; this world is doomed!"
From the depths of the pit, a melodious voice echoed—it was the guardian spirit. At that moment, the object it was inhabiting, a half-sized bell, swayed and flew out, stopping in front of Luo Fan.
Luo Fan felt like he'd seen this somewhere before. Could it be the complete version of the Soul-Suppressing Bell?!
"King Slime, no matter what, I still have to thank you this time. You helped me eliminate the effects of those lingering regrets and allowed me to rediscover myself!"
"You are... the spirit of the Soul-Suppressing Bell?"
"It's been so long since I've heard this name. I didn't expect you to recognize it!" The bell swayed gently, carrying a strange sadness.
"What exactly is that down there?"
Luo Fan was more concerned about the existence below. Why was this plane about to end?
"The soul of a demon lord, after so many years of appeasement, is still so volatile!"
"Demon Lord?"
Just from the name, you can tell it's no ordinary being; it's definitely a formidable opponent. Back in the magical war, someone of this caliber even joined the battle!
"Slime, give me your Time Inscription, and I'll find a way to suppress that scourge below once more!"
The little brat was still shouting loudly, staring intently at Luo Fan.
The commotion below grew louder and louder. Luo Fan even heard the sound of countless chains snapping. An exceptionally powerful divine sense leaked out, carrying with it intense resentment.
"Heh, do you think I'm that stupid?"
Luo Fan slowly approached the scepter, but couldn't touch it. Perhaps because it had been activated, it was still radiating some kind of power, maintaining the formation below.
"Idiot! If this continues, we'll all die, including those three girls!"
With a casual swipe, the guy pulled Xianxian and the others, along with the space itself, rapidly towards this side.
"If you dare lay a hand on them, then nobody will live!"
Luo Fan held the condensed Time Blade and pointed it at the magic circle below.
"You dare!"
The little brat hesitated slightly, and Luo Fan took the opportunity to pull Xianxian and the others to his side, braving the escalating tribulation lightning.
"The Phantom Sound Beast? This plane shouldn't have given birth to such a divine beast!"
The Soul-Suppressing Bell, which was surrounding Luo Fan, quickly noticed the little bell inside and made a surprised sound.
Little Bell comes from another dimension? Isn't it a secret realm?
Luo Fan didn't have time to think about this carefully. He already sensed that once he survived this tribulation, the blessings of heaven and earth would descend upon him completely.
Although the tribulation lightning was still intensifying, it was clearly gathering strength. In any case, he had to obtain that blessing, whether for the sake of transformation or for the even more violent tribulation that followed.
He had a feeling that the tribulation lightning that followed him might undergo a qualitative change due to the support of so many external forces.
"Haha, fate hasn't completely abandoned me after all!"
The guardian spirit's voice was unusually excited, as if it had seen new hope.
Luo Fan discovered that the bell had mysteriously passed through the spatial barrier he had set up and appeared in front of Xiao Ling'er.
"Such a pure and innocent girl, I'll follow you from now on~"
The sound from that creature grew fainter and fainter until the bell finally went completely silent. A surge of energy flowed into Little Bell, and she entered a special state, closing her eyes.
"Brother Fan, don't worry! It means me no harm. I think I've received some kind of inheritance!"
Xianxian and Xiaoxue stood guard beside him, with the former even taking out her magic staff, the trident of the sea god that could change shape.
Luo Fan finally relaxed after confirming that Xiao Ling'er was not in any danger.
"That is the law of the sea god!"
The Dark God was furious to be double-clicked by that slime. He had sensed the laws of water earlier, but he hadn't expected the Scepter of the Sea God to arrive!
He hadn't planned to hold the Sea God Festival because he wasn't sure if the Sea God was still alive, but a little girl beat him to it.
What exactly happened while he was away from the Divine Demon Continent? How could that foolish Celestial God Cult not even discover such important intelligence?
Luo Fan had no time to deal with that God of Darkness; he was busy setting up spatial nodes. In any case, he had to get his own reward.
The lightning gradually subsided, and the next wave of energy began to surge. The nearby Time Scepter still emitted a soft glow, though it appeared to be fading.
