Accidentally invincible!

Lin Fan activated the Ancestor Dragon Floating Body, his physical body pushed to the extreme, with mana coursing through every inch of it, and the power of his divine skills concentrated throughout his body.

He directly engaged Sheng Wushuang in close combat.

A punch was thrown.

The explosive force roared like a giant dragon, its deafening cry reverberating throughout the heavens and earth.

Sheng Wushuang's long hair fluttered, his handsome face twisted into a slight grimace. Failing to defeat Lin Fan for so long left him visibly annoyed, prompting him to activate the Eternal Divine Furnace.

Suddenly.

The base of the Eternal Divine Furnace erupted with blazing flames, while the furnace itself radiated a dazzling brilliance, as if it were refining some unspeakably terrifying entity within.

Lin Fan's expression was somber, yet he remained utterly unflustered. He threw another ferocious punch against the Eternal Divine Furnace.

Clang!

Sparks scattered everywhere.

The Eternal Divine Furnace didn't budge an inch, its hardness exceeding Lin Fan's expectations. A powerful counterforce even surged forth. Were it not for his immensely sturdy physical body, he might have been severely injured.

In an instant.

Various Immortal Techniques erupted in the skies above the Holy Palace. In mere moments, the two exchanged thousands of strikes, shattering the void into pieces.

With the Eternal Divine Furnace in his possession, Sheng Wushuang remained invincible. Despite Lin Fan having superior mana, he still hadn't managed to gain the upper hand.

At the same time, Sheng Wushuang was biding his time, waiting for an opening.

"Damn it, you're insufferable!"

Sheng Wushuang was thoroughly irritated by Lin Fan. Ever since gaining his Immortal Fate, he had never encountered someone who could push him to this degree.

Soon, his attacks became even more ferocious. The inheritance of the Eternal Immortal Venerable was his greatest foundation, and the unparalleled divine skills it bestowed were extraordinary. Any one of them, if revealed to the outside world, would cause unparalleled shock.

At this moment.

An old woman approached the Holy Empress's side, speaking softly, "Who is that young man sparring with Sheng Wushuang?"

The Holy Empress replied, "Lin Fan, a disciple of the Taiwu Immortal Sect. Teacher, can you discern anything unusual about him?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "I cannot say for sure; he's rather peculiar. Logically, Sheng Wushuang's Immortal Fate should be unmatched. However, the divine skills this young man employs are the culmination of many schools of thought, with no particularly unique traits. What's astonishing is that he has practiced each of these skills to perfection."

"Such an achievement is practically impossible without thousands of years of cultivation."

"And that gourd he wields—it is indeed an Immortal Treasure, laden with rich Immortal Dao Laws. But even so, from every indication up to now, Sheng Wushuang should still be an invincible presence."

Though the old woman's eyes were murky, they gleamed with brilliance, as if they could see through anyone and anything.

"The Eternal Divine Furnace is the Immortal Treasure of the Eternal Immortal Venerable, containing boundless mysteries and, legend has it, the path to eternity itself. Sheng Wushuang intends to marry my disciple using the furnace as his dowry, but I've long seen through his intentions. Just now, I noticed that his furnace seemed to resonate with the Holy Palace's divine furnace. He likely aims to merge the two into one."

"When that happens, the complete Eternal Divine Furnace will possess power beyond comprehension."

The Holy Empress had already seen through Sheng Wushuang's schemes.

These petty plots, used against her, were simply laughable.

The old woman remained silent, subtly nodding her head. If the Holy Palace could obtain Sheng Wushuang's Eternal Divine Furnace, it would bring about a monumental transformation.

With the complete Eternal Divine Furnace, the Holy Palace would instantly become the greatest power in the world, even within the Immortal Realm, where it could establish its own Taoism.

Right at that moment.

The battle took a drastic turn.

Bang!

Lin Fan, with an elusive movement technique, deftly evaded Sheng Wushuang's brilliant strike and followed it with a crushing punch to his chest, unleashing the concentrated force of his divine skills.

"Gotcha! This is your death sentence."

"So, your stamina isn't that great, huh?"

After fighting Sheng Wushuang for so long, Lin Fan had suddenly realized that while his opponent's explosive power was indeed formidable, his endurance left much to be desired. Activating the Eternal Divine Furnace on top of executing those unparalleled divine skills consumed an enormous amount of mana.

Even with elixirs to support him, flaws would inevitably surface.

Splurt!

Sheng Wushuang's expression changed dramatically. His once-flushed face turned pale as blood erupted from his mouth, his body reeling from the impact.

"Damn it, die already!"

He had never expected to be critically injured by Lin Fan. Enraged, he activated the Eternal Divine Furnace, which blazed with a terrifying radiance, shattering the void and unleashing an unstoppable aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"I've been waiting for this moment."

Lin Fan's eyes sparkled with anticipation. The opportunity had finally arrived—he was going to claim the Eternal Divine Furnace for himself. Though the process would be tricky, he faced it without hesitation.

"Supreme God Talisman!"

With a wave of his hand, a talisman materialized out of thin air, emanating an aura that suppressed all living beings. The talisman floated gently before suddenly settling over the Eternal Divine Furnace, releasing an extraordinary power upon it.

Boom!

The Eternal Divine Furnace came under the suppressive force of the talisman. It resisted frantically, but the Supreme God Talisman's greatest attribute was its ability to subdue all things, immobilize divine souls, and solidify chaos itself—a creation birthed from the heavens of the Immortal Realm.

Even though it was fragmented and damaged, it was more than sufficient to deal with the Eternal Divine Furnace under Sheng Wushuang's control.

"What?!"

Sheng Wushuang sensed that something was wrong. His connection to the furnace weakened drastically under the talisman's suppression.

Just as he was about to retrieve the Eternal Divine Furnace...

Lin Fan moved instantly, conjuring the Hell Spear while using the Mixed Element Golden Gourd to pave the way. With a low growl, he delivered a fierce, devastating strike.

"If you show off in front of me, you'd better be ready to pay the price."

He left Sheng Wushuang no room to maneuver. Lin Fan unleashed the terrifying combined force of dozens of divine skills, once again bombarding his opponent.

Sheng Wushuang's face darkened like a stormy sea. Though he managed to shatter the incoming assaults, his connection to the Eternal Divine Furnace grew ever frailer under the talisman's suppression.

"No…"

He roared, no longer able to tolerate the situation. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

A terrifying aura erupted from Sheng Wushuang, one that hadn't existed before. The inheritance he received was too horrifying, imbued with countless mysterious trump cards. Even someone of equal cultivation would find themselves relentlessly overpowered.

If one misstepped, they could be killed in the blink of an eye.

Ignoring Lin Fan, Sheng Wushuang lunged at the Eternal Divine Furnace, desperate to reclaim it in the shortest time possible.

"Lin Fan, do you really think you can take my Eternal Divine Furnace with those petty tricks? Your greed will only lead to a miserable death."

The current Sheng Wushuang was clearly different than before, likely due to some inherited divine skill that awakened unimaginable power hidden deep within him.

Such is the enigmatic wonder of the cultivation world.

Fortune shifts over decades, as the saying goes.

Those you once bullied might one day soar into the sky, trampling you underfoot—such is not impossible.

And often, all it takes to change such a fate is a single Immortal Fate.

"Eternal Truth, Galaxy Destruction, My Freedom Unbound!"

Sheng Wushuang roared. His five fingers clenched as he threw an earth-shattering punch, its trajectory elusive, carrying the profound truth of the Dao.

Lin Fan remained unperturbed. The Mixed Element Golden Gourd radiated golden light as he disappeared from sight, only to reappear in front of Sheng Wushuang to withstand the blow head-on.

Bang!

An ordinary Dao Artifact faced with this punch would have been utterly obliterated, reduced to nothing but fragments.

But the Mixed Element Golden Gourd was an Immortal Treasure, unbreakable.

For Sheng Wushuang, it felt like his punch had landed on an iron wall.

"Not good…"

Sheng Wushuang sensed danger closing in from behind. He spun around in haste, striking indiscriminately.

Bang!

Splurt!

Sheng Wushuang coughed up blood once more. The disparity between him and Lin Fan wasn't wide, but compared to someone who had practiced Great Divine Powers to their peak and possessed countless Innate Divine Abilities, the playing field tilted slightly unfairly.

Lin Fan showed no arrogance and wasted no words. Transforming his palm into a blade, he unleashed the Sprint Burst ability, soared high, and executed the Sound-breaking Demon Saber Technique.

Swoosh!

His figure vanished, reappearing as a blinding streak of light slicing across the battlefield.

In a brief instant.

A flurry of strikes rained down like a thunderstorm, relentlessly crashing onto Sheng Wushuang.

Bang!

Bang!

Sheng Wushuang spat out blood furiously, eyes wide with disbelief. How could this be? Just moments ago the battle was evenly matched; how had things flipped in the blink of an eye?

He couldn't comprehend it.

"Ah!"

He bellowed, a shadow appearing behind him—none other than the phantom of the Eternal Immortal Venerable. He was prepared to fight Lin Fan to the death but froze upon realizing Lin Fan hadn't pursued him. Instead, Lin Fan now stood before the Eternal Divine Furnace, pressing the Supreme God Talisman onto it and storing it into the Mixed Element Golden Gourd.

"No…"

Sheng Wushuang's heart-wrenching scream echoed. That was his treasure, his inheritance. Losing the Eternal Divine Furnace meant his legacy would be incomplete, and his power would plunge dramatically.

Lin Fan laughed uproariously, "Thank you, my dear treasure-delivering fool. Your existence paves the way for my invincible path!"

"Now, it's your turn. I'll sell you to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. That's a guaranteed profit."

Twisted thoughts.

Outrageous actions.

Lin Fan saw endless potential in Sheng Wushuang. Killing him wasn't a priority. Instead, he preferred to draw out resources slowly, plundering all his treasures and extracting his inheritance methods.

Perhaps he could even enlist a group of laborers to cultivate those techniques, slowly reaping benefits while dispatching them one by one. There was no doubt those efforts would yield tremendous rewards.

And Lin Fan was convinced Sheng Wushuang would continue to exceed his expectations.

Even after being sold off, Sheng Wushuang's fate and immense luck might allow him to rise again, at which point Lin Fan could plunder him anew. What could be more delightful?

"Not good. He's after me now!"

Sheng Wushuang could see dark intentions in Lin Fan's gaze. If he lingered any longer, he was bound to suffer defeat at his hands.

"Lin Fan, don't get complacent! One day, I'll reclaim everything I've lost. Just you wait!"

As soon as the words left his mouth.

Sheng Wushuang activated his Kunpeng Immortal Body. With one sweep of his wings, he crossed ninety thousand miles, disappearing far into the horizon.

"Boundless Traveler."

Lin Fan activated his Great Divine Power. With one step, it was as if he tread the river of time, tracing Sheng Wushuang's silhouette.

Trying to escape?

Let's see if you have what it takes.

Previously, Sheng Wushuang had managed to flee due to his extraordinary speed. But now that Lin Fan had mastered "Boundless Traveler," escaping was no longer so easy.
