CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 0422: COMFORTABLE AH

Refreshing!

Qin Yang had never felt such comfort before.

Perhaps he should let go of some worries, face opponents without concern for who they are, and act according to his true nature.

What is the War King? What even is Zuo Xian? Compared to the peerless beings of this world, they are as insignificant as a speck of dust. At this moment, Qin Yang’s state of mind elevated, broadening his horizons, and igniting his desire to pursue a higher plane of existence and approach to life.

Zuo Xian could bear no more. He summoned an Ancient Mirror, pinched out an Immortal Seal with his fingers, and tapped it onto the mirror. With a whooshing sound, a beam of destructive immortal light pierced the Heavenly Vault, aiming to annihilate the three before him.

"You can’t even endure a single rebuke, Zuo Xian. Monsters who’ve been over-nurtured won’t go far in the end."

Qin Yang leapt to one side, his heart racing with panic, though he acted nonchalant as he said, "Brother Lin, I’ll leave the rest to you."

He steadily retreated to the second line.

There was a time.

He, too, had been a formidable combatant. But since losing his fortune, he had degenerated into a master of running his mouth—encountering those he once dared not provoke, now unabashedly relying on the strength of his two companions to put on a bold facade that would surely lead to beatings in the future.

One has to admit.

For the fleeting gratification before him, Qin Yang had willingly abandoned the thought of whether his future might hold a better life.

Lin Fan had always wanted to test the power of the Martial Arts Ultimate Body. With a single step forward, the Void beneath his feet shattered, his strength now far surpassing the past.

With one punch, the fist’s brilliance turned into a long rainbow, obliterating the beam of light emanating from the Ancient Mirror. The force of his punch did not diminish in the slightest.

BOOM!

The Ancient Mirror in Zuo Xian’s hand trembled violently, the terrifying impact passing through, and with a whooshing sound, the Ancient Mirror was flung out of his grasp, leaving him greatly alarmed.

"Damn it."

The Ancient Mirror dimmed and lost its luster as he retrieved it. This Immortal Treasure, imbued with the light of the Immortal Dao, had once been unstoppable, yet now it had been struck to such a state, leaving him deeply shocked.

From the side, Qin Yang remarked, "What monster? Compared to my Brother Lin, there’s still a vast difference. Zuo Xian, it’s your fortune to encounter us today, for now, you might come to understand the meaning of ’there’s always someone better.’ Arrogance born of ignorance only makes you a frog at the bottom of a well."

Such a venomous tongue.

Xiang Fei kindly reminded, "Brother Qin, aren’t you afraid he’ll trouble you later?"

"Brother Xiang, you’re mistaken. We’ve already offended him; why bother worrying so much? People should focus on the matters of their current lifetime." Qin Yang said calmly, though in his heart, he had long decided that if the day came when he parted ways with Brother Lin and the others, he would hide away in the family estate, never leaving, claiming he needed to cultivate in seclusion for a millennium or so.

Could he really come to my house and beat me up?

What a joke.

Does he really think this Little Immortal Venerable is easy to mess with?

In the distance, the sky gleamed in vibrant hues as several figures carved through the air. They were all prodigies from various regions, entering the Heavenly Cave Mansion in search of their individual Immortal Fortunes.

"Huh! There’s already someone fighting over there, and they got here before us. Let’s see who they are and make them vacate this place."

A man wore an indifferent expression, fixated on claiming the Heavenly Cave Mansion.

He had no intention of letting unrelated individuals meddle with this place.

But as they saw the situation clearly.

They froze in shock.

"Zuo Xian! It’s actually Zuo Xian. But wait, who are those fighting him? How dare they show such audacity?"

Zuo Xian was quite famous across the outside world, a leading figure among monstrous prodigies.

Not only was he immensely powerful.

He was also notoriously prideful, once suppressing many heirs of Immortal Venerable Families and descendants of ancient Sacred Lands.

"Who in the world is this person? Which terrifying family did they emerge from to confront Zuo Xian so equally? There’s never been word of someone like this before."

SWISH!

At this moment, Zuo Xian summoned a longbow. The bow was golden, burning with scorching flames that coalesced into several golden crows soaring in the air. These flames contained the Divine Souls of powerful ancient beings who had been slain, unable to escape the bow’s confines.

"The Sun Destroying Immortal Bow! This was the weapon of an ancient powerhouse who once used it to slay nine ancient powerhouses of the Demon Clan. I can’t believe Zuo Xian’s been forced to use such an Immortal Treasure."

"This is a fight to the death. With the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow in hand, Zuo Xian stands invincible."

"Barely arriving here and already seeing someone challenge Zuo Xian. This is going to be an entertaining match."

Zuo Xian, with the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow raised, exuded an intensified presence. His gaze sharpened, capable of piercing the Heavenly Vault. He pressed his two fingers together as golden light wrapped around them, drawing the bow, while the surrounding Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth converged to form a deadly arrow.

BANG!

A sharp crack resounded as the arrow shot forth, carving a long tail through the air with blazing speed, unerringly targeting Lin Fan.

"Impressive."

Lin Fan’s expression grew solemn. The bow’s grade was undoubtedly high—a supreme treasure capable of slaying powerful foes across realms.

He deployed Divine Skills, darting into the distance in an instant, but the arrow pursued doggedly.

"Its tracking, speed, and lethal power are all exceptional,"

he remarked, finding interest in the weapon. If he could claim it for himself, future long-range enemy eliminations would certainly be well within his grasp.

Zuo Xian regarded the fleeing Lin Fan with cold disdain. Thinking escape from the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow was nothing but wishful thinking. Whether to the edge of the world or any other place, the result would remain the same.

He drew the bowstring again, the celestial energies of heaven and earth converging, and a second golden arrow tore through the void, a double assault intended to slay Lin Fan on the spot.

"Zuo Xian’s strength is indeed fearsome. It’s said that every shot from the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow is immensely draining, demanding much from its wielder."

"If it were me, even a single arrow would already pose a major problem."

"For Zuo Xian to resort to the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow, it means his opponent’s strength forced his hand."

These onlookers, themselves monstrous prodigies, had keen insights.

The power of a single arrow from the bow could deter even a Daluo Golden Immortal, let alone the dual arrows now unleashed. Surviving alone would already be considered remarkable. Moreover, Zuo Xian had impressive mastery over the bow. If fully mastered, it would make him unbeatable within his realm and capable of easily slaying enemies across realms as effortlessly as drinking water.

"Huh? Why has he stopped running?"

At this moment, the observing prodigies were shocked.

Could it be that he realized he couldn’t escape and had given up, or was he planning to rely on his abilities to take the arrows head-on?

Lin Fan let out a low roar as the Martial Arts Ultimate Body erupted in all its might, exuding an aura of defiance against heaven and earth. Facing the rapidly approaching arrows, he remained utterly unshaken.

As the arrows neared his body.

He reached out with both hands toward the arrows. With a buzz, the space around them trembled as the arrows struggled violently, trying to break free from his grasp.

"Stay still!"

With a furious shout,

the two arrows froze in place. His ten fingers clenched, and with a crack, the arrows shattered into countless sparkling fragments that dispersed into the heavens and earth.

The surrounding prodigies, who were initially just spectators,

were left dumbfounded the moment they saw Lin Fan withstand two arrows head-on, their expressions filled with disbelief.

"What? Who is he? How could he possibly achieve this?"

"Zuo Xian has never failed when using the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow before. Even if it couldn’t kill outright, no one has ever been able to take it head-on."

They had believed this fight would be a one-sided crushing victory in Zuo Xian’s favor—that his overwhelming strength would annihilate an ignorant fool. But now, they realized this battle was far more suspenseful.

Qin Yang was initially stunned, then burst into uncontrollable laughter, "This is killing me. Zuo Xian, how could you disappoint me so much? People used to praise the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow in your hands as a treasure radiating brilliance. But now, it seems those folks were just talking nonsense!"

Given the circumstances,

Qin Yang fully embraced his true self,

completely indifferent to the disastrous outcomes this could lead to.

"Brother Lin, incredible! What kind of Immortal Body did you obtain to block two arrows with just your physique?" Xiang Fei exclaimed, imagining that if it were him, he’d never be able to achieve such a feat.

Zuo Xian focused intensely; despite his surprise, his expression did not give much away.

Holding the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow, he drew from his remaining mana as the Heavenly Vault trembled. Several waterfalls descended from the sky, containing the essence of heaven and earth, awakened by the bow’s latent power.

"Let’s see how you handle this,"

Zuo Xian said as he drew the bow again, the flames around the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow surging. Nine golden crows soared into the sky, letting out enraged cries. They represented the unwilling spirits of ancient mighty figures who had been slain.

It was as if they were howling, "We were all slain. How can someone as insignificant as you possibly resist?"

The bow’s radiance gathered into an arrow, its sharp tip surrounded by a brilliant galaxy of light.

Zuo Xian’s aura peaked, though his mana drained rapidly. This move took a toll on him, but a brazen provocation like this was an unforgivable humiliation.

"Die!"

With a wrathful shout, Zuo Xian released the bowstring, and in an instant, a final arrow was unleashed.

This arrow resembled a burst from the universe itself, dazzling beyond compare, its radiance so blinding that no one could open their eyes. They couldn’t observe the details or even track its trajectory.

This was an arrow capable of killing a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Lin Fan was merely at the Golden Immortal Realm, yet facing an arrow that could slay enemies across two major realms, he showed no fear. Instead of evading, he charged straight at Zuo Xian.

The Martial Arts Will combined with the Immortal Dao Law within him.

"Is he mad? Doesn’t he know when to run? Does he want to die so thoroughly?"

"Arrogant fools eventually pay the price."

But soon,

the prodigies were left dumbstruck at the scene before them.

Lin Fan unleashed a punch—it seemed like a simple punch, but it carried a terrifyingly concentrated strength. A succession of crisp clashes echoed through the air.

CRACK!

As the ultimate arrow collided with Lin Fan’s punch,

it failed to penetrate his body as expected and was instead utterly deflected. Lin Fan struck with overwhelming force, and with a thunderous explosion, the arrow shattered entirely.

"What?"

Zuo Xian’s face turned ashen. A shot from him had never failed before—how could this be happening?

But in the moment of his shock, Lin Fan appeared directly before him, his five fingers spread wide as if the heavens were in his palm. Lowering his gaze, Zuo Xian saw that the Sun Destroying Immortal Bow in his hands had been taken by his opponent.

"How about you experience it for yourself?"

Lin Fan moved at lightning speed, drawing the bow and releasing an arrow point-blank at Zuo Xian. With a whoosh, the arrow pierced forward.

Zuo Xian sensed impending danger and retreated rapidly.

But the arrow followed closely, aiming directly for his forehead.

If it struck him there.

He would perish utterly, with no chance of survival.

BOOM!

The arrow struck Zuo Xian square in the forehead, erupting in brilliant light, a beam of energy piercing through to shatter the far-distant Heavenly Vault.
