303: "Heaven's Reckoning"? My buffet!

In the Main Control Room, Old Ancestor Tieshan's face, twisted in terror, was still frozen on the light screen.

The ancient star map he had offered had already turned into a stream of light, hovering before Lin Fan.

"Land of Heavenly Condemnation..."

Lin Fan's Divine Thought gently touched the four ancient characters on the star map that exuded an ominous aura.

Fatty Zhang, Zhao Linger, and the others were still immersed in the shock of Lin Fan suppressing the entire Star Domain with a single thought.

"Bo... Boss is awesome!" Fatty Zhang was the first to break the silence, his fat face flushed red with excitement. "That guy with the iron bones is probably scared to the point of wetting himself right now! Ten thousand sects come to pay homage! From today on, our Immortal Alliance is the sky of this frontier of the Universe!"

Others also chimed in, their eyes filled with fanaticism and worship.

They seemed to have already seen the glorious future where the Immortal Alliance, under Lin Fan's leadership, would rule the Universe and govern the myriad worlds.

However, Lin Fan just looked at them calmly and shook his head slowly.

"The sky?"

He spat out a single word, causing the fanatical atmosphere to cool down instantly.

"The real 'sky' is about to collapse."

Zhao Linger's heart tightened; she keenly captured the deep meaning in Lin Fan's words. "Lin Fan, what exactly do you mean by 'Great Calamity'?"

Everyone's gaze was focused on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan did not answer directly. He waved his hand, and the image on the light screen changed, presenting a vast, boundless starry sky of the Universe.

Only, this starry sky was completely different from what they usually saw.

Between countless prosperous Star Domains, wisps of gray, dead, and imperceptible auras were quietly spreading.

It was as if a colorful scroll had been splashed with drops of dirty water from washing a brush, slowly and firmly polluting the entire picture.

"You can understand it as the Universe's self-correction, or rather... Heavenly Dao liquidation."

Lin Fan's voice, as if coming from another dimension, carried a coldness devoid of emotion.

"This Universe has developed too many 'diseases'. For example, those old monsters who have lived for countless eras, who should have long since turned into dust but still occupy the life forbidden zones. For example, some supreme gods who stole the Origin of the Universe and foolishly tried to live as long as heaven and earth. And for example..."

His gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on himself.

"Some 'errors' that shouldn't have appeared."

"When these 'lesions' accumulate to a certain degree, the will of the Universe will activate its 'immune System' to carry out a thorough, indiscriminate purge."

"This is the Great Calamity."

Boom!

This explanation was even more terrifying to everyone than any previous miracle!

Heavenly Dao liquidation? A great purge?

This was no longer a struggle between Cultivators, but a doomsday disaster unleashed by the entire Universe! In the face of such great power, what was the Body Integration Stage, what was the Mahayana Stage? They were all just slightly larger ants!

"Then... what should we do?" Fatty Zhang's voice trembled, the color draining from his face. "Find a place to hide? Hide until the Great Calamity passes?"

"Hide?" Lin Fan laughed. "A storm sweeps across the entire ocean; where can you hide?"

Despair began to spread in the Main Control Room.

Zhao Linger's delicate hand was also clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white. She looked at Lin Fan, hoping to see a trace of gravity on his face, even a trace of worry would do.

However, she was disappointed.

On Lin Fan's face, not only was there no fear, but instead... it revealed a look of near-excitement that no one could understand.

Under everyone's stunned gaze, he took out a Jade Slip out of thin air and began to carve on it with his Divine Thought, like a student taking notes in class.

"Universe-level disaster means a death environment with high energy and high concentration of Law..."

"According to risk and return assessment, it can be roughly divided into several Ranks."

"One-star death zone: 'Spiritual Qi tide' reversal in ordinary Star Domains, Law disorder. Characteristics: Wide range, low death efficiency, unstable reward quality, pass."

"Two-star death zone: Energy riots in life forbidden zones, such as 'Void Realm storms' or 'undead disasters'. Characteristics: Moderate death efficiency, but easy for old monsters to steal the kill, affecting the final score, to be determined."

"Three-star death zone..."

Lin Fan's fingertips slid across the Jade Slip, and finally, he pressed heavily on the star map he had just obtained.

The corners of his mouth curled into a satisfied arc.

"Land of Heavenly Condemnation... touch it and die, tainted with Heavenly Dao Karma, and there have been Indestructible-level existences that instantly turned into dust..."

"Hmm, this one is not bad."

"It's like... a Michelin three-star themed restaurant for death."

"..."

The entire Main Control Room was dead silent.

Fatty Zhang maintained his open-mouthed posture, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

Zhao Linger's intelligent head was also completely crashed at this moment.

What did they just hear?

The doomsday calamity that all Cultivators in the Universe avoided and talked about with fear.

In the Boss's eyes...

It was a... buffet menu?!

He was still comparing which "dish" had a higher cost-performance ratio?

This was not just crazy; this completely shattered their cognition and trampled on their values!

"Bo... Boss... you... don't scare me..." Fatty Zhang said stammeringly, feeling his worldview collapsing and reorganizing.

"Lin Fan! No!"

Zhao Linger was the first to react. She rushed to Lin Fan in one step, her pretty face filled with unprecedented anxiety and fear.

"That's different! That is the 'Land of Heavenly Condemnation'! It's a punishment directly sent down by the heavenly dao will! What if... what if your resurrection ability is countered by Heavenly Dao Karma? You could really die! Disappear completely!"

Her words also instantly woke up the others.

That's right!

The Boss's trump card is the ability to resurrect.

But if he provokes the "Heavenly Dao" itself, is this trump card still useful?

Facing Zhao Linger's dissuasion, Lin Fan just smiled.

He put away the Jade Slip, looked at Zhao Linger's eyes full of worry, and explained calmly:

"Why do you think I used my own Origin to forge the 'Immortal World'?"

Zhao Linger was stunned.

"The 'Indestructible' trait is not just a Physique; it is more like a... rule of a higher dimension. It is not compatible with the Laws of this Universe, and even... mutually exclusive."

"I only have one way to upgrade it quickly."

Lin Fan's gaze became deep and scorching.

"That is to let it devour and assimilate other Laws."

"And the disasters sent down by the Heavenly Dao are the most original and purest manifestations of the Laws of this Universe. To me, they are not poison..."

"They are a great tonic."

His explanation made Zhao Linger, Fatty Zhang, and the others understand only half of it, but at least they understood one thing.

To Lin Fan, "courting death" was the fastest way to become stronger.

This dangerous behavior was actually the safest "Dao of Survival".

Watching Zhao Linger's still furrowed brows, Lin Fan reached out and gently rubbed her head.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Before I return, I will leave the affairs of the Immortal Alliance to you."

After speaking, he did not hesitate.

His Divine Thought locked onto the coordinates of the "Land of Heavenly Condemnation" on Old Ancestor Tieshan's star map.

"Black Sail, activate space anchor jump."

[Instruction confirmed. Coordinate locked: Land of Heavenly Condemnation — Crimson Flame Star. Building jump channel...]

An invisible ripple spread out under Lin Fan's feet.

His body began to become illusory, like a projection with a bad signal, flickering in the air.

"Don't panic, I'm just going to go die for a bit to scout the path for everyone."

Leaving behind a sentence that left everyone in complete disarray, his figure completely disappeared from the Main Control Room.

...

Crimson Flame Star.

Land of Heavenly Condemnation.

The sky was an eerie dark red, like congealed blood.

The ground was barren, covered with dried and cracked gullies, as if scorched by divine fire for billions of years.

Space was distorted here.

A figure turned from virtual to real and quietly appeared in this dead world.

Lin Fan looked up at the sky.

It was raining here.

It wasn't water that was falling, but drops of dark red flames the size of rice grains, pulsating.

Rain of Karmic Fire.

A drop of Karmic Fire drifted down and landed on a hard piece of obsidian not far away.

Sizzle.

There was no explosion, no burning.

The piece of obsidian, which was enough to withstand the bombardment of Magic Treasures, was like paper dripped with concentrated sulfuric acid; it was silently corroded into a deep hole and finally turned into a wisp of blue smoke, completely annihilated.

Any living being would die upon contact, with their Divine Soul destroyed.

This was the Heavenly Condemnation.

Lin Fan looked at the rain of death falling all over the sky, but a smile of extreme comfort appeared on his face.

He did not raise any protective shield.

Nor did he catalyze any Spiritual Qi.

In the endless rain of Karmic Fire, he slowly opened his arms, closed his eyes, and made a posture of... embracing the sky.

A drop of dark red Karmic Fire drifted lightly and landed on his forehead.

[Ding! You have been attacked by "Heavenly Dao Karmic Fire"...]

["Indestructible Overlord Body" is under fatal threat, trait passively activated...]

[Analyzing "Heavenly Dao Karmic Fire" Law... Analysis progress 1%...]

[Warning! Detected that the Host is actively provoking the heavenly dao will, Universe Laws are undergoing violent reactions!]

Boom—!!!

As if responding to his provocation, the sky of the entire Crimson Flame Star suddenly darkened.

The sparse rain of Karmic Fire suddenly became violent!

The raindrops instantly turned from the size of rice grains to the size of fists, like billions of burning meteorites, carrying the will to burn everything, and smashed down fiercely towards the tiny figure below!
