"What is your purpose in returning?"
The King of Ten Thousand People questioned with suspicion.
Ling Fan said indifferently, "I've come to borrow something from your Myriad Artifact Island."
"Borrow what?"
"I'll borrow the Yellow Springs Sacred Water from your Myriad Artifact Island's depths, all the treasures, materials, and resources from your Myriad Artifact Tower, and also, your Golden Cores and Sacred Dao to be used by me!"
Ling Fan stated slowly.
"Hahaha, did I hear that right? This brat wants to rob us of Myriad Artifact Island!" All the powerhouses of Myriad Artifact Island erupted in laughter as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Wan Guan Ning's stomach ached from laughing, finding it incredibly absurd.
It was as ridiculous and preposterous as a three-year-old child who could barely walk running up to an adult wielding a divine weapon and declaring they were going to rob them.
"This child is peculiar. Capture him first, then interrogate him thoroughly," the King of Ten Thousand People ordered calmly.
"Yes!"
Immediately, several seasoned Golden Core realm powerhouses lunged towards Ling Fan, fearing that someone else would claim the merit.
However, they had not yet approached Ling Fan's Golden Core manifestation.
Suddenly.
A ripple instantly spread from Ling Fan's Golden Core manifestation.
As this ripple swept over those individuals, the sound of explosions echoed, and they instantly exploded into clouds of blood mist. Even their Golden Cores shattered into the purest Golden Core origin power. Although to Ling Fan these Golden Cores were too weak, every little bit counted. A suction force erupted from the Golden Core manifestation, creating a vortex that absorbed all the power of those Myriad Artifact Island Golden Core powerhouses.
After the absorption, only a few tiny patterns appeared among the countless intricate纹路 on Ling Fan's Golden Core, like a drop in the ocean.
Ling Fan was somewhat disappointed.
But something was better than nothing.
His divine sense instantly enveloped the area around the Myriad Artifact Tower. There were still many Golden Core powerhouses on Myriad Artifact Island, and their combined strength was quite considerable.
"You fiend, you dare to act so presumptuously in front of us!"
Seeing that Ling Fan had effortlessly killed and refined several Golden Core realm powerhouses, the four Quasi-Saints of Myriad Artifact Island widened their eyes. Killing intent erupted, sacred power surged, and powerful sacred power hands lunged towards Ling Fan's Golden Core manifestation, intending to shatter it.
"Void Yin Yang, Sacred Prison Cage!"
A surge of sacred power madly churned, transforming into a two-colored cage, carrying a formidable aura that seemed capable of imprisoning all heavens, and descended upon them.
"Sacred Dragon King Fist, Dragon Soaring the Four Seas!"
On the other side, another Quasi-Saint elder from Myriad Artifact Island unleashed a terrifying fist radiance, blindingly brilliant sacred power that engulfed everything, transforming into four sea-ascending flood dragons that churned mountains and overturned seas, crashing down.
"Eternal Sea Heavy Water, Annihilation!"
...
The four Quasi-Saint elders wished to regain their lost honor and find the prestige they lost to the toad on Ling Fan, so they all roused their spirits. Even when facing a mere Golden Core martial artist, they unleashed their full power.
Even a lion hunts a rabbit with all its might!
Just as everyone believed Ling Fan had no chance of survival,
Bang bang bang!
Four consecutive attacks landed on Ling Fan's Golden Core manifestation. Instantly, torrents of light and flame exploded, and the terrifying power caused the Myriad Artifact Tower to shake violently. Had the Myriad Artifact Tower not been a powerful Earth-grade low-tier spirit artifact, it would have long since turned to dust.
"Heh heh, a mere mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating oneself. Our Myriad Artifact Tower is one of the most powerful forces in the Storm Sea Domain. How could a mere reckless youth like you provoke us?"
The four Quasi-Saint elders sneered.
Just then.
A palm suddenly pierced through the explosion, carrying a dazzling golden light, and without any warning, it grabbed a Quasi-Saint by the neck.
"You!"
The Quasi-Saint's eyes widened in horror, his limbs struggling, like a duck being lifted into the air.
"How is this possible!"
The other three Quasi-Saint elders of Myriad Artifact Tower were instantly shocked.
The four of them combined could only make a powerful Quasi-Saint who had achieved over eighty percent of Dao integration flee in disarray. Yet this Golden Core brat was not only alive but unharmed!
Others' eyelids twitched fiercely, they simply couldn't believe their eyes.
Wan Guan Ning was stunned.
The Quasi-Saint elder whose neck was grabbed struggled violently, his face turning red. However, no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the grip of that hand, as if it were not a hand but a demonic palm capable of suppressing the heavens and earth.
Ling Fan was unharmed. Within his semi-transparent body, a Golden Core shone even brighter. He emerged from the storm, holding the Quasi-Saint elder of Myriad Artifact Tower.
"Let him go!"
The King of Ten Thousand People boomed, his heart also greatly shocked.
Even with his experience, he could not comprehend such a matter.
"Are you ordering me? Ridiculous. My Golden Core fuses all laws, and it is currently lacking boundless materials. All the treasures and all the powerhouses of your Myriad Artifact Island will become nourishment for my myriad ways. How can I let him go?"
Ling Fan said slowly.
"You are dreaming. I am a Quasi-Saint who has achieved over fifty percent of Dao integration. My sacred power is solidified and indestructible. Even if you stand still, a mere Golden Core martial artist like you cannot kill me!"
The elder shouted.
"Is that so?"
Ling Fan replied noncommittally and suddenly clenched his hand. With a "poof!", the neck of this Quasi-Saint elder of Myriad Artifact Island instantly exploded into a bloody mist. Moreover, under the erosion of a terrifying power of myriad laws, his body continued to shatter, unable to stop, until it turned into blood water inch by inch, and a Sacred Dao imprint appeared!
This Quasi-Saint of Myriad Artifact Island...
Had thus perished.
Boom boom boom!
The heavens and earth rumbled continuously, anomalies emerged, and myriad ghosts wailed.
In the void, a Quasi-Saint Dao as vast as a divine dragon approached the back of the void, revealing a tip of the iceberg.
Ling Fan ignored everyone's horrified gazes.
He grabbed the Sacred Dao imprint and slammed it into his own Golden Core. Instantly, a water-wave-like Dao mark appeared on Ling Fan's Golden Core.
"Forcibly plundering the Sacred Dao imprint! How is this possible!"
Everyone was shocked again, their hearts trembling.
Because the Sacred Dao imprint of every Quasi-Saint powerhouse was unique and intrinsically linked to their life. Others could never refine a Sacred Dao imprint without the recognition of that Quasi-Saint Dao.
If one were to forcibly annex it, even the slightest carelessness could lead to one's own body exploding.
Yet, this Golden Core martial artist had so simply, crudely, and wildly plundered a Quasi-Saint's Sacred Dao imprint. This was truly earth-shattering.
"You three dare to attack me, your Sacred Dao imprints will also be taken."
Ling Fan reached out, and the unimaginable power of myriad laws instantly vibrated the void countless times. The power was so immense and strong that it was unbelievable. The three Quasi-Saints of Myriad Artifact Island all changed their expressions, their hearts filled with dread. They had no will to fight, but it was too late for them to escape. They were easily restrained by countless strands of the power of myriad laws, like giant pythons strangling their prey. With a series of "bang bang bang!"
In a flash, Myriad Artifact Island lost three more Quasi-Saint elders.
And their Sacred Dao imprints, just like the previous one, were forcibly stripped by Ling Fan and integrated into his Golden Core.
