Chapter 277: A talent

Ah, such a poor thing. I don't even know how you dared to breakthrough when you're not capable enough!

~The immortality that I got through the lottery will never go wrong like this.~

~Trying to absorb my energy? Dream on.~

~ Everything will disappear the moment I revive, and I will return to a perfect state.~

~This is real immortality.~

~Jun Wutian's immortality is just a scam.~

~Look, these dried-up bugs are such a poor thing. How much have they starved that they are resorting to eating each other? I can't bear to look at this.~

Oh no, Jun Wutian, who asked you to breakthrough when you don't have enough energy to sustain yourself? How are you going to grow stronger or even get past this problem? Tell me!

Lin Fan laughed, smirking as he looked at Jun Wutian.

Lin Fan, you just wait and see! Jun Wutian yelled. Now that the blood worms were feeding on each other, Jun Wutian no longer had the energy to fight with Lin Fan. Escaping was his only option now.

He tried to escape.

But all of a sudden!

Activate the eye of disdain!

Bastard, what have you done to me? Jun Wutian bellowed. You're mocking me, right? You killed me back at the Magnificent Flame Sect, and now I'm like this, thanks to you! You are coming to hell with me!

Wow. Lin Fan gasped softly. ~Nobody can ignore the eye of disdain.~

He raised his hand, signaling for Jun Wutian to make a move.

C'mon, my sect mate. Let me end your suffering once and for all.

Unable to tolerate Lin Fan any longer, Jun Wutian turned into a ray of light and charged towards Lin Fan.

I'm going to kill you!

Bang!

A punch landed on Jun Wutian.

Weak, too weak. Jun Wutian, I love your worms. They make me satisfied by allowing me to kill you repeatedly. I'm feeling great! Lin Fan laughed.

Lin Fan, I'm going to kill you! Jun Wutian shouted, reforming his body. However, he had become even weaker than before, and the worms devouring each other wasn't helping at all.

~This is troublesome.~

Alright, let's do it. Fight me till tomorrow morning.

Again and again.

Rather than tiring, it was enjoyable for Lin Fan. He was observing the blood worms at the same time. He realized that some of the worms had actually died and turned into a pool of blood.

~What a great discovery. So does it means that they will die without enough energy?~

~If that's so, then Jun Wutian isn't immortal after all.~

~He requires a huge amount of energy every time he revives. If I understood any law, he'd die for real in no time.~

~Oops, I found his weakness.~

Jun Wutian, now I understand. Your immortality is just a joke.~

Powerful energy was exerted from Lin Fan, and limitless sword intent could be felt floating behind him. He then stood there, letting the sword intent take care of Jun Wutian.

The evolved blood worms died one by one. He didn't even have the energy to create new blood worms.

Such a poor thing.

He paid no further attention to Jun Wutian and sat by the side, waiting for Jun Wutian to die.

Out of the blue!

A terrifying force could be felt from afar.

I've finally found you.

A deep and creepy voice rang out.

Lin Fan turned around and frowned. Clouds the color of blood, could be seen billowing towards Lin Fan, covering him.

Lin Fan raised a finger and kept the Nine Demon Sealing Monuments immediately.

Got to go.

~That scary guy I came across previously is here. He's not someone I can handle.~

Trying to leave? Seeing Lin Fan's action, Sir Xuelian said.

Confine!

Suddenly, a mystical force could be felt. It congealed the surrounding space, making it impossible for someone to leave through the air.

Not only so, but it also confined space to limit Lin Fan's movement too.

Disperse! Lin Fan took a step out and walked around, putting on an act thanks using his skill, Ignore Seals.

Mmm? A voice of shock could be heard from the blood clouds.

Who are you? Lin Fan asked, trying to calm down. Come out if you have the guts instead of hiding in those clouds.

Great. You're quite powerful. The Divine Religion needs more talents like you. The blood clouds billowed as a figure walked out of it.

He was a buff man, and he smelt like blood. An evil aura could be felt. Despite him remaining still, anyone could tell that he was a terrifying existence.

Thank you for your compliment. I'm indeed a talent, but who are you? Lin Fan replied, accepting the praise. He knew that retorting was useless now. He would only find a way to escape if he remained calm.

You've killed so many of my followers, and yet you don't know me? What a joke. Let me tell you, I'm the guardian of the Divine Religion. Seeing Jun Wutian's current state, Sir Xuelian felt his blood boil. He raised a finger, making the sword intent disperse immediately.

Jun Wutian fell onto the ground weakly. Smelling food, the surrounding blood worms went up to Jun Wutian and started feeding on him.

Sir Xuelian, guardian of the Divine Religion.

He mumbled to himself. ~He is too powerful for me. He should be the person who snatched away Jun Wutian's body back at the sect.~

~Now that master is not around, It's difficult for me to leave.~

Lin Fan looked around him. ~I have an idea.~

Another idea came to his mind after some thought.

~The first one is more suitable, though.~

I appreciate your talent. Suddenly, Sir Xuelian turned to Lin Fan, staring at him with his red eyes. It was as if hell was in his eyes.

Is that so? Hahaha Lin Fan laughed calmly. I never thought that the guardian of the Divine Religion would appreciate a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple's talent. Should I be honored or humiliated?

Sir Xuelian grabbed Jun Wutian and kept him in his sleeves. He then looked at Lin Fan as if he was prey.

Lin Fan, peak leader of Invincible peak. I am aware that many of my followers have died under your hand. But I'll let this matter go, as we need talented people in our religion. Join us, and I'll make you a guardian as well. There will be nobody above you other than the Pope. You will be superior to millions, and we can overthrow the Magnificent Flame Sect together and create the strongest religion in the world; how does it sound?

Who did you say would be above me? Lin Fan asked.

Our Pope, the most powerful lord.

After a short pause, Lin Fan looked up. Sir Xuelian, I pity you.

What for? Sir Xuelian asked calmly.

Lin Fan stepped forward. Pity that you're blind. Say, why do we cultivate in the first place?

Trying to debate with me, kid? Sir Xuelian laughed. Of course, it's to defy the heavens and take our own destiny in our hands.

~Great. He has taken the bait perfectly. There's no need to trick him anymore.~

Defy the heavens and have your destiny in your own hands. That is what you said. But your destiny is in the Pope's hand.

Life is full of possibility.

I see that you're a talent too. Why not we overthrow the Pope together and make you the Pope instead.

You're trying to trick me! Sir Xuelian shouted in anger.

Lin Fan raised his hands calmly. Calm down and hear me out. Everyone can be the Pope, and you are such a powerful cultivator. Seeing how the Divine Religion can only hide and has little achievements currently shows that the current Pope is useless. It'd be better if you were the Pope.

Think about it; you're under the Pope now. Don't you feel suffocated just with someone controlling you?

Let's not talk about this. Sir Xuelian said. I'm only talking with you now because I appreciate your talent. We need talents like you. And it would be best if you hand the beads over to me too.

Lin Fan shook his head slowly and made his way to the lava stream. Sir Xuelian, let me ask you, what would happen if you jump into this lava?

It might be burning, but it's just water to me. Sir Xuelian answered.

Lin Fan nodded. Mhmm. Let me ask you again, what will happen if ordinary people jump into it?

Hahaha, of course, they will turn into ashes, but why are you talking about this. Answer me, are you willing to join the Divine Religion or not? Sir Xuelian asked. ~If we can bring the Invincible peak to our side, it would be a big blow to the Magnificent Flame Sect.~

You still don't understand. Lin Fan shook his head and sighed.

Understand what? Sir Xuelian asked.

You're stronger than me, and I am restricted. But I don't want to be under anyone. I'd rather die than surrender.

As soon as he finished his words.

Lin Fan jumped into the lava stream immediately.

He restrained his energy and faced the lava with just his regular body.

Szzz~

He disappeared in the lava stream.

Sir Xuelian reacted immediately. Damn it! Trying to escape! Float up!

Suddenly, strong energy was exerted as the lava stream flew up into the sky, and Sir Xuelian tried his best to find Lin Fan.

But he was nowhere to be seen.

How could this be? Did he really commit suicide?

Impossible. Damn it.

Sir Xuelian was boiling in anger. ~If he managed to escape, what method did he use?~

However, Lin Fan's words rang in his head.

Overthrow the Pope and become the Pope yourself.

Sir Xuelian shook his head, discarding the thought. ~How could I think of such things?~

But Sir Xuelian knew that it wasn't a bad idea too.

Damn it. How dare he brainwash me! He deserves death.
