Chapter 313 Mysterious Arm

Chapter 313: The Mysterious Arm

“This is the Human Emperor Banner. It can not only command all souls but also draw upon the power of Heavenly Tribulation to unleash unparalleled Divine Might.”

“Crack!”

In an instant, various bolts of lightning struck down, like a cascading waterfall, flashing red, golden, and other lights, engulfing the dense army of black ants, causing them all to explode.

At this moment, whether they were True Gods or Heavenly God Realm insects, none could withstand that Heavenly Might, turning into tribulation ash.

Undoubtedly, the Chaos Magical Artifact rendered great service, playing a huge role in such a perilous place.

Next, several types of vicious insects appeared along the way; some looked like centipedes but had wings, all with various forms and immensely powerful.

However, they all shared one commonality: they had all gone mad, ferocious and evil, making communication impossible.

Fortunately, the Human Emperor Banner could awe their souls, causing them to quiet down, ignore the two intruders, and fall back into slumber.

Finally, they entered the forest and saw a large expanse of sage wood, filling the entire valley, numbering over a thousand trees.

Furthermore, each tree was as tall as a person, emitting a blazing, multi-colored light, with auspicious clouds rising, like thousands of Divine Rainbows.

“Wait, Elder brother, what is that?” Lin Fan pointed to the depths of the forest, extremely wary, even more so than with the insects before.

At the very center, there was an altar with a huge arm placed on it, five feet long, standing there, very strange.

“Chii!”

Suddenly, the altar trembled, and the arm glowed; an eye actually opened in its palm and looked towards the two.

And it only slightly opened; crimson light, like flames or lightning, shot from its pupil, incredibly intimidating.

Immediately, Lin Fan and Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, were startled, as if they had been targeted by some primordial Vicious Beast, and couldn't help but tremble.

The next moment, its eye suddenly opened wide, and the entire world was filled with rules and order, blood-red light, carrying a chilling killing intent that made people feel as if they had fallen into Hell.

“Boom!”

It was at this moment that the Human Emperor Banner Awakened, autonomously unleashing Supreme Divine Might, with black mist surging and terrifying Chaos Qi permeating.

Around them, the Void Realm twisted, cracking open with fissures, and even the great stars in the sky trembled, threatening to fall.

One must know that this was merely a standoff between the two; once they truly erupted, the result would undoubtedly be world-destroying, beyond imagination.

Finally, Lin Fan’s body could move, but he didn’t sigh in relief; he immediately donned a layer of dark gold armor, with the Reincarnation Disk hovering above his head.

As for Yue Chan’s Uncle, he was completely terrified, unable to move, his body stiff, and Lin Fan pulled him behind him.

“Six Paths… Reincarnation Disk!” A very strange ancient language emanated from the arm.

Lin Fan initially didn’t understand, but by carefully pondering its Divine Thought and perceiving its meaning, he grasped what it meant.

He was just very curious: what kind of strange thing was this, whose arm was left behind, and it even had life, seeming to recognize the disk above his head?

But in any case, the atmosphere was very subtle right now, because the enemy was unclear, and a fierce battle could erupt at any moment.

Moreover, no one had anticipated that such a crisis was hidden within this peaceful sage wood forest.

“No wonder that Elder, after observing from afar, chose to give up entering this small forest.” Lin Fan whispered, realizing this point.

Afterward, he communicated with the two Chaos Magical Artifacts; if they couldn’t resolve it, if it really didn’t work, he would take them away.

After all, their lives were paramount!

But what no one expected was that the arm with the eye in its palm was the first to fall silent, as if it had some apprehension, retracting its astonishing aura.

“Hoo…”

Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, his back was soaked, his heart pounding; once a great battle started, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Fortunately, both sides were very wary, stopping short of a full confrontation, and nothing terrible happened.

“Woo, did we survive…” Qing Yang recovered, his voice trembling, still with lingering fear, as if he had walked on the edge of death.

He looked at the calm altar and asked, “This place isn’t safe. Are you still planning to perform Saint Offering here?”

Lin Fan nodded; the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish. Cultivating in such an environment was the best way to temper oneself.

Furthermore, it was not easy to find sage wood; if they left now, they wouldn't know where to find the next patch in a short time.

At that time, his path to Saint Offering would be indefinitely postponed.

“Don’t worry, as long as we don’t approach the altar, that thing won’t Awaken for now.” Lin Fan thought for a moment and said.

Then, he handed over the Human Emperor Banner, instructing, “My path is about to begin. Elder brother, be careful and be my Protector!”

“Alright then, you just focus on your closed-door Cultivation. If you encounter danger, I’ll take you and run immediately.”

By now, Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, showed no embarrassment on his old face, speaking of fleeing with righteous indignation, because he was truly scared.

Along the way, he realized that in the vast No Man’s Land, a Heavenly God like him was truly nothing.

One could even say that a single brick could kill a large number of them.

In fact, Lin Fan had no choice; sage wood was too rare and an indispensable item for Saint Offering, irreplaceable.

To burn oneself with it—of course, it wasn’t literally igniting oneself, but the light it emitted was like fire, and the special rules it generated could temper one’s Dao and Physical Body.

Through this, Cultivators could advance to a unique Realm — Saint Offering!

Why was it considered unusual?

Because many Cultivators would directly skip it, simply not Cultivating this Realm, as the risks involved were too great.

When powerful, one could rival a Heavenly God, possessing Heaven-Defying combat power; when weak, one would be inferior even to the True God or Divine Fire Realm, with fluctuating strength.

Therefore, after a Cultivator reached the Peak of True God, if they were sufficiently astonishing, they could find a way to directly advance to the Heavenly God Domain.

However, it was recorded in the bone book that only those who had undergone Saint Offering could be considered Kings among Gods, invincible in the same Realm!

Thus, most of the most astonishing people in the world would choose to take this step.

There was also a saying that without experiencing Saint Offering, it would be difficult to reach the Peak of the Divine Dao in the future, unable to break through that barrier and attain eternal life!

Of course, the Immortal Realm was too far from mortals; no long-lived individual had been seen in this epoch, so it was almost unnecessary to consider.

But Lin Fan was different; he was an ambitious and far-sighted person, looking through ancient and future times, desiring to reach the Peak, so this Realm was indispensable.

Predecessors had already proven that those who had experienced this Domain clearly became stronger, possessing an invincible demeanor.

However, some also believed that it was not a separate Realm, because Saint Offering could contend with a Heavenly God, almost making it the same level.

Therefore, some believed that this was a form of tempering for the Heavenly God, a transitional Realm.

But in Lin Fan’s view, it could actually be called Half-Saint, possessing the strength of the Heavenly God Domain, a preliminary comprehension of certain rules.

For example, the Half-Saint and Saint in the later Secret Realm system!

It was just more dangerous; if one couldn't Breakthrough for a long time, they would fall from their original Realm and find it difficult to progress further.

Therefore, ordinary people dared not attempt it; the cost was too great, but there were also ways to resolve it, such as using Magical Artifacts to suffer the tribulation on their behalf.

“I brought some treasures. At critical moments, I can sacrifice them to avoid truly falling from the Realm.” Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, said, throwing out numerous divine weapons.

“No need. Not relying on external objects, gathering great power within oneself—this is my Dao!” Lin Fan refused his kindness.
