Chapter 149: Extremely Clever

"Roar…"

The Silver Lion roared loudly. Seeing no way out, its entire body bloomed with silver light, and its runes were brilliant. Opening its mouth, it spat out a ribbon of light that enveloped the place, blurring the scenery.

One had to admit that a Venerable was indeed a Venerable, possessing formidable strength. Every move it made had the might to move mountains and fill seas, and generally speaking, lower Realm living beings found it very difficult to surpass this gap.

This was because a Venerable's magic power was incomparably immense, far exceeding the Array Formation Realm living beings, and their methods were even more unfathomable. They were Peak Cultivators of the mortal world, and their next step would be becoming a god.

However, what he encountered was Lin Fan, so he could not be measured by conventional logic.

Even with a large Realm gap, under the augmentation of various supreme treasures, this gap had basically been leveled or even surpassed.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Lin Fan struck continuously. Within this world evolved by him, he was elusive and in harmony with heaven and earth, continuously killing towards the Silver Lion.

Here, he was the Dominator, and his power would be infinitely magnified, while his opponent was suppressed and unable to display his full strength—as one grew, the other waned.

Moreover, as Lin Fan's Realm improved, the anomaly evolved by him grew increasingly powerful, possessing unbelievable Divine Might.

"Damn it!"

The Silver Lion felt a great sense of foreboding. Trapped within the eerie Domain, he had a feeling of having strength nowhere to exert, and both his Divine Sense and spiritual perception were weakened, making it difficult to generate effective attacks.

As a result, having entered someone else's home turf, he could only release powerful Precious Techniques or use secret treasures to protect his body, rendering him extremely passive.

"Brat, you get out here!"

The Silver Lion shouted loudly, his Venerable aura surging and Divine Power turbulent. He erupted, knowing that he could not continue like this, otherwise, he would fall into a crisis.

At this moment, powerful runes surged, spreading across the entire heaven and earth, erupting with brilliant silver light that was extremely intimidating!

However, Lin Fan did not retreat. Transforming into a long rainbow, he directly attacked the Silver Lion. The Celestial Silkworm Garment on his body played its role, with colorful light circulating.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew in all directions. The divine treasure clothing's defense was peerless, blocking the attack. Lin Fan remained undamaged and killed his way to close quarters, thrusting out the long spear in his hand like a black Dragon reviving and emerging from the abyss.

"Puff!"

In an instant, the Silver Lion's head was pierced through and then exploded. Fresh blood splattered, and both his body and soul were destroyed.

At the same time, the surrounding heaven and earth inverted, and all anomalies vanished, revealing the original scenery of the world.

"What? Venerable Silver Lion is dead!" The crowd was shocked, looking at the fallen corpse in front of the youth in utter disbelief.

The two had only disappeared for a brief moment, yet the victor had already been decided. Was this fake?

But what they found hardest to accept was that a generation of Venerable-level powerhouses had actually died at the hands of an Array Formation Realm youth. Not many people would believe it even if word got out.

At this time, the crowd's gazes toward the youth changed. There was no longer any contempt or thoughts of seizing the treasure ship, as they realized this was no simple Cultivator.

"Everyone, is there anyone else who wants to board the ship?" Lin Fan turned his head and smiled at the rest of the people, revealing a mouthful of large white teeth that were extremely brilliant.

The crowd shook their heads and retreated a few steps, all feeling that this Human Race youth possessed a demonic nature that was even worse than an ancient Vicious Beast.

"Don't panic, everyone. As long as you don't want to dine and dash and pay the full fare, I am willing to take you across the Yellow Springs Sea."

Lin Fan was unhurried and started doing business on the spot. Rather than going to the island alone, it was better to rake in some more benefits. Mainly, he didn't take these people very much to heart anyway.

Even if there were many people competing for the immortal seed, he had nothing to fear.

A group of people looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

Lin Fan curled the corners of his mouth and tempted them, saying, "There are immortal palaces over there, endless Opportunities… Could it be that you want to miss out?"

Hearing this, the living beings who had been lingering and indecisive immediately stepped forward and said, "I want to board the ship!"

"I want to board the ship too!"

…

Soon, the treasure ship was fully seated without a single vacancy, setting sail to cross the golden ocean, leaving behind only the crowd on the shore who were a step too late, filled with envy and regret.

As for Lin Fan, he stood at the bow of the ship, acting as the captain while counting the Spirit Medicines and divine materials in his pocket. He smiled very happily, looking just like a dishonest merchant full of smugness.

"As expected, I am truly ridiculously witty!"

Deep within the Yellow Springs Sea, colorful light shimmered, looking extremely divine. The crowd curiously sized up the water's surface, unable to see the end at a single glance.

On the surface, that divine mountain did not look far from the shore, but once they actually began sailing, they realized the distance between the two was infinitely far and boundless.

"I truly don't know how much longer it will take to reach the divine mountain?"

Someone asked doubtfully, feeling slightly hurried. The group had already sailed for three days, yet there was still no end in sight.

Fortunately, Lin Fan's treasure ship was extraordinary, originating from the hands of a god, and could resist the erosion of this Yellow Springs Sea for a long time without sinking or being destroyed.

"Eh, there is something floating on the sea surface. Could it be transformed from a divine object?"

One person on the treasure ship was pleasantly surprised and invoked their magic power, wanting to capture it over.

However, just upon summoning it, those clusters of light flashing with golden flames drifted over on their own.

"That's not right, that is no divine object at all, quickly dodge!"

Lin Fan cried out, his spiritual perception being extremely acute. Catching a trace of a dangerous aura, he hastily drove the treasure ship to avoid it.

"This is… a corpse!"

Someone else also shouted in shock. With special eyes naturally capable of seeing through illusions, they saw clearly what was floating on the sea surface.

"What?!"

Hearing this, the crowd widened their eyes and successively used secret treasures to investigate. Afterward, their bodies shook violently, and tumultuous waves surged in their hearts, unable to calm down.

Because these were not divine objects, nor were they anomalies manifested by heaven and earth herbs and the like, but corpse after corpse. Yet for some unknown reason, they had not decayed after death, which was unimaginable.

Furthermore, those floating bodies—some were incomparably huge, like small mountains; some had bizarre shapes, with tiger heads, Phoenix wings, and snake tails; and some were humanoid.

"Could it be… that the legend is true?" Someone was astonished, thinking of a rumor handed down from ancient times.

Because the Yellow Springs Sea connected to Hell, a portion of the bodies of living beings who had died in battle since primeval times were buried within the Yellow Springs, in the expectation that one day they would recover from Reincarnation and live again.

"Careful, those corpses are moving!" someone screamed, pointing at the sea surface.

"Aowu…"

At that very moment, gloomy winds howled and eerie things happened. Those corpses seemed to come alive, autonomously swimming toward the treasure ship amidst ghost wails and howling deities.

Originally, the divine aura on the sea surface had vanished, replaced by billowing black fog. Numerous phantom shadows appeared with green light flashing in their eyes, holding weapons and hacking toward this side.

"Bang!"

Streaks of black light flew over, carrying a piercingly cold wind, and attacked the treasure ship, causing the entire hull to vibrate and shake violently.

"Those are their undying obsessions after death! Quickly protect the large ship and don't let them get close. Once the ship is sunk, we will all die here."

Lin Fan shouted loudly, making a move to intercept the ghost shadows and sacrificing a precious tool to defend against the incoming black light.

In fact, without him needing to say it, everyone was already acting. They were grasshoppers tied to the same rope; if the divine ship were destroyed, it would benefit no one.

"Boom!"

They successively struck out, each displaying Precious Techniques and Divine Abilities. Lightning struck down and flames soared into the sky, sweeping outward. Moreover, yang-aligned attacks were the most effective at restraining ghost entities.

However, there were simply too many ghost shadows. No sooner had they exterminated the ones close by than another group drifted over from afar. Black fog covered the sky and the wind howled, resembling the death knells coming from Hell, making one's hair stand on end.
