Just then, something happened over at the Ancient One's side.
"Just what in the world is going on? How in the world did the Ancient One turn out like this?" The Heavenly Emperor Yuan screamed out as he dodged with all his might. Towards the Ancient One right now, the Heavenly Emperor Yuan was truly afraid.
This was just a beast!
How in the world did the Ancient One, who had conquered the ancient times, turn out like this?!
BAM! The Ancient One howled out as he clasped his palms together, holding the Heavenly Emperor Yuan in his palms.
"HAHA …! I've caught you!" Those bloodshot eyes of the Ancient One shone with endless lust. That greedy tongue of his was like an agile snake as it licked the Heavenly Emperor Yuan's face gently, as though it was raining cats and dogs.
The Heavenly Emperor Yuan was completely stumped right now. How in the world did the Ancient One turn into such a disgusting man?
From those evil eyes of the Ancient One, he could see an endless amount of lust.
Not good! This Ancient One was going to have wild thoughts!
Suddenly, a gigantic ball appeared before the Heavenly Emperor Yuan's eyes.
"Yes, yes …!" The Ancient One pressed the Heavenly Emperor Yuan onto his chest, which was swollen from Lin Fan's beating, and rubbed it.
"Holy f * ck …!" For the past 10,000 years, the Heavenly Emperor Yuan had never once cursed. But the situation right now had him completely blown up.
Shing …!
The void trembled as the Heavenly Emperor Yuan escaped immediately. He looked at the Ancient One warily.
Even though the Ancient One's cultivation state was not as good as before, his physical body state was simply way too strong! He could ignore any attacks at all!
"Don't run! I'm going to poke you …!"
The Ancient One howled out as his tongue danced in the air, pouncing towards the Heavenly Emperor Yuan.
...
The Supreme Being and the others were completely dumbfounded. They could not believe everything that was happening right before their eyes. It was as though they had gone blind.
How in the world did the Ancient One turn out like this?
That salivating tongue seemed to be filled with an endless amount of magic as it licked towards the Heavenly Emperor Yuan shamelessly.
As for that huge piece of sh * t at his crotch, it was like a pillar piercing through the skies, as though it was going to pierce through the entire Heaven and Earth.
...
Lin Fan was watching with great interest. This was fascinating. The Ancient One was the Ancient One indeed. The moment he struck out, he was like a ferocious tiger that had just been let out of its cage.
If not for the fact that the Heavenly Emperor Yuan could run, he would have long been pierced by the Ancient One.
"Tell him to stop. He's not coming anymore …!" By now, the Heavenly Emperor Yuan could no longer take it. The Ancient One was like a crazed demon chasing after him.
What was even more frightening to the Heavenly Emperor Yuan was the fact that the Ancient Dragon of Death seemed to have a life of its own as it burst forth towards him.
There were a few times when he was almost stabbed by this thing.
"Ancient One, don't you dare go overboard!" The Heavenly Emperor Yuan roared out.
"I'm going to poke you …"
"How can you do this?"
"I want to poke you, poke you, poke you …"
...
"Hurry up and stop! I'm not fighting anymore …" The Heavenly Emperor Yuan was sweating profusely. Even though he had fused with the Heaven's Will, it was as though this ancient way of attacking had changed entirely. It was hard to fathom.
"Do you believe that I'm one of those rare geniuses that only appears once in a million years?" Lin Fan asked, looking at the Heavenly Emperor Yuan, who was dodging and dodging in the void.
"I believe you …! Hurry up and tell him to stop!" The Heavenly Emperor Yuan's eyes shone with a look of fear. The strength of this Ancient One was not as strong as before. However, the speed and strength that he was displaying right now were extremely horrifying. Even with the power of the Heaven's Will, he could only barely escape.
"Hehe …!" Lin Fan chuckled casually. He then turned to the Ancient One and called out, "Alright, Ancient One! Go and poke the ground yourself!"
The Ancient One, who was chasing after the Heavenly Emperor Yuan, was stunned for a moment. Looking somewhat disappointed, he sprawled on the ground alone and started moving up and down.
BOOM! BOOM!
This sound was like a pile driver. It was loud and frequent, causing the entire ground to tremble violently.
"This …!" Looking at the Ancient One, the Heavenly Emperor Yuan's eyes shone with disbelief.
To think that one of the The Highest Eight of the Upper World would do something as despicable as this!
Let alone the Heavenly Emperor Yuan, even the Supreme Being and the others would have spat out a mouthful of blood if not for the fact that their consciousnesses were not corporeal bodies.
Looking at the masses, Lin Fan chuckled, "Now that this matter is over, we can sit down and have a good talk. After all, this concerns the future of the Xuanhuang World. It's not something that can be explained with just a few words."
"Heavenly Emperor Yuan, are you still firm in your beliefs?" Lin Fan looked at the Heavenly Emperor Yuan and asked.
"That's right." The Heavenly Emperor Yuan consoled himself in his heart.
"Supreme Being, God of War, God of War, Reincarnation Emperor, are you guys firm in your beliefs as well?" Lin Fan asked.
"That's right. We will definitely not send the masses of the Xuanhuang World to their deaths."
Lin Fan looked at the few of them. Towards this Heavenly Emperor Yuan, Lin Fan did not have much of an aversion towards him. After all, everything rested in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor Yuan.
Even though the Xuanhuang World had been split into two, and only 3/4 of the Heaven's Will had been devoured, Lin Fan believed that the Heavenly Emperor Yuan must have a certain level of confidence that he could break through the Heaven and Earth Barrier.
Thinking back to his deal with Ye Han, it was evident that he wanted to use the Blood World as a springboard to break through the barrier.
But now that the Heavenly Emperor Yuan did not break through the barrier and was willing to talk to them, it was evident that he wanted to settle this matter properly.
"If I were to stand on the side of justice, I would uphold the ideals of the Supreme Being and the others. But if I were to stand on a personal level, I would rather uphold the ideals of the Heavenly Emperor Yuan."
"If a man does not fight, then he is no different from a salted fish. No matter how many obstacles we face, we must not retreat in the face of danger and be a cowardly tortoise. We must press forward and fight against fate." This was the first time in Lin Fan's life that he had spoken a word of justice.
Even though the Heavenly Emperor Yuan looked like a bad guy, this bad guy only wanted to release the shackles that were locked in everyone's hearts.
"You're different from them. I understand your concerns as well. That's why I did not break through the barrier and chose to trust you instead." The Heavenly Emperor Yuan looked at Lin Fan and said. He then turned his gaze to the Supreme Being and the others.
"Your hearts right now are no longer the same as they were back then. Back then, I was the weakest out of all of you. But even if I allowed you guys to regain your strength and regain your bodies, you wouldn't be a match for me alone. That's because the heart is the source of strength. Cowardly hearts like yours have already sunk into oblivion."
...
"You …!" The Supreme Being and the other three looked at the Heavenly Emperor Yuan speechlessly. They then snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"Lad, actually, breaking through the barrier is the fairest thing to do. That way, the entire Xuanhuang World can be released completely. Everyone can train in martial arts and fight against the Upper World together. We can chase after the fate of being trapped." The Heavenly Emperor Yuan said.
Lin Fan shook his head and his expression turned serious, "No. Just like the Supreme Being and the others, I have my own selfish motives."
"I have people who are precious to me. I don't want to lose them. Even though I've severed their fates, compared to my own life, I wish for them to be able to keep their lives, and not to chase after the fate of death."
"Even though this is selfish, isn't that how humans are?"
"I can take you down the moment you break through the barrier. But I won't do that. That's because I know that the path ahead of me is filled with unknown difficulties. In order to protect them, I have to become stronger so that I can stand against any sort of suffering."
Looking at Lin Fan, the Heavenly Emperor Yuan burst out laughing, "HAHA …! Humans are indeed the most complicated of creatures. Back then, weren't we all the same as you? We wanted to become stronger so that more people could be spared from this pain. But, we failed, and had to run away like dogs with their tails between their legs. Eventually, I understood that humans have to depend on themselves. Back then, I chose to devour the Heaven's Will. But today, I believe in you. I've waited for tens of thousands of years.
I don't mind waiting for a single ray of hope. "" Thank you for your trust. I've never let anyone down. "Lin Fan smiled confidently. Even though his heart was bitter, he had to stay strong.
"HAHA …!" The Heavenly Emperor Yuan reared his head into the skies and laughed out loud. His eyes were brimming with tears, as though he was venting out all the pent-up frustrations in his heart. Was this a new hope, or a new despair …?
PS: Using Lin Fan's true thoughts, if he wasn't happy, he could just f * ck it up. Who's afraid of who?
