Long Aotian sat on the throne of the Crimson Blood Demon Palace. At this moment, he was invincible in the Demon Realm, and even the six Demon Lords bowed down to him.
They already knew about the movements of the Immortal Sect. Although he lacked a source of fortune, it did not prevent him from knowing about the Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Array. It was just that the missing part would weaken its power.
Lin Fan took the lead and charged into the Demon Realm. No demon could withstand his momentum and was crushed to ashes by the pressure he released.
"Lin Fan, do you dare to fight outside the heavens?" Long Aotian flew towards the heavens, with the Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Array behind him releasing its vast heavenly might.
"I didn't expect you to use your own essence to repair a corner of the formation!" Lin Fan looked at the Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Formation. One corner of the light was a little weak, which was a drawback.
"Don't think that hiding Chu Yunying will keep things peaceful. As long as I kill you, I will definitely find her and complete the formation," Long Aotian said coldly.
"You have no chance!" Lin Fan slashed with his sword, shattering the starry river and piercing through the universe with his sword energy.
However, Long Aotian simply raised his hand and neutralized his attack.
He frowned, sensing that Long Aotian's aura far surpassed that of the Demon Lord, like an unfathomable abyss, impossible to fathom.
Lin opened the panel attributes and saw that Long Aotian's attribute panel had a "luck enhancement" status. He asked, "Is the other party's system adding luck to him to increase his strength?"
"That's right, exchanging luck for combat power is a system operation," the system said.
"Then quickly increase my combat power!" Lin Fan said.
"Host, this system follows the path of the invincible villain and doesn't engage in such opportunistic tricks," the system replied.
"Is it that you're not going to do it, or that you're just unlucky?" Lin Fan's face darkened. No wonder he lost. The opponent's system continuously used Qi to generate combat power, while his own system had nothing. What was the point of fighting?
"Your luck in this life has been used up; it's up to you now," the system replied.
Long Aotian, dressed in a black robe as dark as night, was surrounded by an aura of the underworld, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he could see into the deepest fears of people's hearts.
A cold smile played on his lips as he slowly spread his hands, and six enormous wheels suddenly appeared in the void.
Each wheel represents an ultimate destructive power; this is his proud Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Array, intended to bring all things in the world under his control.
"Lin Fan, today is the day to settle our grudges!" Long Aotian's voice boomed like thunder, shaking the surrounding space.
"Ding! Congratulations on breaking through to the Great Emperor realm! Reward: Three Immortal Execution Swords!"
Four different ancient divine weapons floated in front of him, exuding a terrifying and ferocious aura.
Lin Fan pointed his sword at the sky, his expression stern: "Die!"
After speaking, Lin Fan moved like a gentle breeze, instantly transforming into four phantoms, each corresponding to the power of the four elements: wind, fire, mountain, and forest.
The wind's power was light and agile, reaching Long Aotian's side in the blink of an eye.
The power of fire was scorching and violent, transforming into a roaring fire dragon.
The power of the mountain was steady and heavy; with a single swing of the sword, it seemed as if the void itself would be cleaved apart. The power of the forest was inexhaustible; countless sword shadows surrounded Long Aotian like a dense forest.
Seeing this, Long Aotian snorted coldly, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Formation was activated instantly. The world seemed to be distorted by an indescribable force, and the power of reincarnation surged towards Lin Fan like a tide.
Fire and water, life and death, light and darkness...
Six distinct forces intertwined and collided in the air, bursting forth with dazzling light and dyeing the entire sky with vibrant colors.
The battle between the two intensified, with every move containing earth-shattering power.
With the blessing of the Wind, Fire, Mountain and Forest, Lin Fan's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was woven with sword light, making it impenetrable.
Long Aotian's Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Array is like the scythe of death, constantly reaping life and hope.
At this critical moment of life and death, an unprecedented power suddenly surged within Lin Fan's heart.
"With a clear sword heart, I will vanquish evil and uphold justice!" Lin Fan roared, his aura surging, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation reached its unprecedented peak at this moment.
The power of the four elements converged into an unstoppable torrent, rushing straight towards the Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Array. The two collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar.
The two confronted each other, unleashing dazzling and terrifying power. However, Long Aotian's aura grew stronger and stronger, and his power surpassed that of Lin Fan.
"System, his power has surpassed that of the Great Emperor and is approaching the Heavenly Dao. You must think of a way quickly," Lin Fan said.
"Host, please believe in yourself, you can create miracles!" the system transmitted.
"Believe your sister, no wonder you lost. The opponent's system has over ninety lifetimes of luck, and you've already given up," Lin Fan cursed.
Long Aotian's momentum was stronger, and he quickly gained the upper hand.
Even with Lin Fan activating the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Art and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, combining the four world-destroying powers, he still couldn't gain the upper hand.
"Hmph, then don't blame me for going all in," Lin Fan said.
He then threw out the Nine Cauldrons, which hovered in the sky, occupying the Nine Palaces Formation. Nine beams of light broke through the darkness, illuminating the world and shooting towards the universe.
The Sky-Gazing Mirror was in his palm. He shone it into the void and saw a white light hovering in the heavens, watching the situation on the Tianchen Continent.
Lin Fan changed the direction of his attack, activated the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to restart the world's destructive power, and slashed towards the white light and shadow.
"Lin Fan, are you insane? You want to sever the Heavenly Dao?" the system roared, having never seen such a crazy host before.
"Since we can't win anyway, we might as well destroy the Heavenly Dao directly, split things up, and no one will benefit," Lin Fan said coldly.
Long Aotian's strength was approaching that of the Heavenly Dao. His system was too powerful, using immense luck to empower him, making him impossible to defeat.
Seeing this, Long Aotian was clearly surprised by Lin Fan's madness. So he rushed towards the Heavenly Dao, consuming a large amount of luck, and moved millions of feet in space in an instant.
"You're too naive to think you can destroy the Heavenly Dao." He mobilized the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Array to block the attack of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array, while simultaneously launching his strongest attack on Lin Fan.
"Oh, you're getting ahead of yourself," Lin Fan said calmly.
Seeing Long Aotian's attack coming, he did not make any defense. Instead, he bit his tongue and poured all his power into the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
Long Aotian was very pleased with himself. His luck was endless, which could neutralize attacks and make him stronger, bringing him infinitely closer to the Heavenly Dao. No matter how much Lin Fan struggled, he could not cause him any harm.
Suddenly his body stiffened, his eyes looked down at his chest in disbelief, and several beams of white light pierced through his body, refining his power.
"The Way of Heaven?"
He turned around in disbelief; Heaven itself had actually attacked him.
Isn't the Heavenly Dao a will, a law, something ethereal and untraceable, yet unable to directly attack the beings of the Tianchen Continent?
Taking advantage of his weakness, Lin Fan drew upon his last bit of strength to activate the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, slicing through Long Aotian's defenses, and four world-destroying forces engulfed him.
His strength was drained, and he lost all power, falling from the sky. Looking at Long Aotian's destructive sword energy, he felt no fear, but instead accepted it calmly.
As he faced death, a figure in a white dress flew from the Tianchen Continent and stood in front of him.
"Junior Sister Chu, you can't stop them. Don't worry about me, you should leave quickly." He said weakly as he saw the person's face.
"With my soul, I will refine heaven and earth with my blood." Chu Yunying's red lips parted slightly, and an ice coffin appeared behind her. The afterimage of Empress Tianyao appeared and merged with her.
Her aura surged, breaking through the Tribulation Transcending stage and reaching the Great Emperor realm.
The ice coffin surged up and was shattered by the sword energy. Facing that power that surpassed that of an emperor, Chu Yunying showed no fear.
Her body was glowing, like a burning sun piercing through the void, directly clashing with the sword energy.
The heavens and earth trembled violently, the mountains and rivers changed color, and the sword energy sliced down countless stars, passing through Chu Yunying's body.
On the Tianchen Continent, the immortals and demons fought fiercely, until the stars dimmed and the martial world turned upside down.
Fengxi single-handedly withstood the six Demon Lords, ultimately burning the power of her primordial spirit and combining it with the power of the Demon-Slaying Array to perish together with the six Demon Lords.
The moment her primordial spirit disappeared, she glanced at Lin Fan, her eyes softening. Finally, her primordial spirit transformed into a ray of light and flew towards Lin Fan, merging into his body.
Having obtained Fengxi's primordial spirit power and recovered some of his spiritual energy, he carried Chu Yunying and landed on the Demon Palace.
Chu Yunying's primordial spirit and soul were shattered and annihilated by a domineering force.
"System, can you still save her?" Lin Fan asked in a trembling voice.
"Her primordial spirit and soul were obliterated by the system's power; I can only temporarily gather her lingering will," the system replied.
Chu Yunying coughed up blood from the corner of her mouth, looked weakly at Lin Fan, and raised her hand to stroke his face. Lin Fan held her hand tightly.
"Senior Brother, do you believe me?" she asked again.
"I believe you!" Lin Fan said.
Chu Yunying forced a pale smile and continued:
"Senior Brother, I'm sorry. I had my reasons in my past life. I saw that Long Aotian's talent was unprecedented, so I passed on the One Leaf Ice Crystal and the family's secret cultivation method to him."
“I know that our enemy is the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Sect. Even if I cultivate for a lifetime, I will not be able to shake them in the slightest. That’s why I made a deal with Long Aotian in order to get revenge.”
"Long Aotian's appearance gave me hope for revenge, so when he slandered my senior brother, I couldn't help him clear up the truth and had to give false testimony for him time and time again."
"But I was wrong. When I saw him come back with his senior brother's head and showing it off, I regretted it."
Chu Yunying suddenly coughed up blood, her vision gradually blurred, and she had even less strength to speak.
Lin Fan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and listened quietly.
"Perhaps this is God's punishment for me. When I chose revenge and abandoned my senior brother, this was the inevitable result."
"I've always wanted to explain to my senior brother, but I'm afraid he won't trust me. Every time I see the wariness in his eyes, I feel like my heart is breaking. But whether in my past life or this one, I love... I love my senior brother so much..."
Tick-tock
A drop of water landed on her face. Chu Yunying seemed to feel it, and a slow smile appeared on her lips. Her senior brother still cared about her.
Time stood still. Lin Fan didn't know how much time had passed, but he didn't hear her voice again. Looking down, he saw that she still had a faint smile on her face, but she was no longer breathing.
"Host, you cried. Do you regret it?" the system said.
"I didn't cry!" Lin Fan said in a hoarse voice as he picked up Chu Yunying.
"You even vomited blood!" the system said again.
"It's normal to vomit blood when you're injured and have a fever."
The continent shook violently, the sky was torn apart, and massive amounts of water poured out from the cracks, causing rivers and seas to flow backward and mountains and rivers to shatter.
"Host, you've destroyed the Heavenly Dao as well. Get ready, we're going to mend the heavens," the system said.
The final attack not only eliminated Long Aotian, but also shattered the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao is not repaired, the Tianchen Continent will also be destroyed.
Lin Fan took Chu Yunying away from the Demon Realm and returned to the small fishing village. Although the village had been destroyed by war, he could still vaguely remember it.
Behind his original home was a mountain with two solitary graves on it, where Xiaobai and Murong Xuanqiu were buried. There were no tombstones, just standing there all alone. A few days later, two more new graves appeared there.
He buried Chu Yunying next to him, and also built a grave for himself, perhaps he would never come back.
"Host, are you ready?" the system asked.
"I'm ready," Lin Fan said calmly.
He took out the Heaven-Mending Pearl and the Heaven-Mending Jade, then merged with the system and flew towards the heavens beyond.
Ahead lay endless darkness, and he felt as if all his strength had been drained away, his eyelids feeling incredibly heavy.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he regained some consciousness...
"The injured person has a weak heart; quickly administer a cardiac stimulant!"
"That's for administering anesthesia to perform surgery on the injured person."
Amidst the noise, Lin Fan struggled to open his eyes. He was very weak, and his vision was blurry as he looked around at his surroundings.
He looked at the nurse beside him who was constantly wiping away his blood. Although she was wearing a mask, the contours of her face, her eyes, and her temperament were exactly the same as Chu Yunying's.
The nurses beside him were busy handing tools to the doctor and wiping his sweat, their eyes glancing at their nurses from time to time, their expressions mirroring those of Murong Xuanqiu.
Upon seeing the familiar face, a smile and a sense of relief slowly appeared in his eyes.
Beep beep beep...
