183: Chapter 183 All Saints Submit
" 'Source Devouring Saint Transformation Scripture'! "
A vortex radiating a terrifying aura capable of devouring the heavens and myriad worlds condensed in Lin Fan's palm.
This devouring force plunged directly into the body of the Bright Great Sage.
" Aaaaaah—!!! "
The Bright Great Sage let out a scream.
He discovered that his Great Sage origin, vitality, and even his remaining lifespan, which he had painstakingly cultivated for over a hundred thousand years, were all being frantically drained away by that black vortex!
" No! Stop! Quickly stop! "
The Bright Great Sage begged desperately, clutching Lin Fan's arm with both hands.
Lin Fan remained expressionless as he increased the devouring force.
" The vacuum cleaner is set to max power, just bear with it. "
In just three breaths of time.
The Bright Great Sage's once plump body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Skin and flesh withered, and bones weathered away.
Finally, with a soft "pop" sound.
A dignified Great Sage turned into a handful of grayish-white fly ash directly in Lin Fan's hand, scattering in the wind between his fingers.
His origin had been forcibly drained dry!
He died without even a trace left!
The entire scene was silent.
Whether human or alien, everyone stopped breathing.
The remaining Thirteen Great Sages hovered in mid-air.
The Blood-Pupil Demonic Tiger Ancestor stared at Lin Fan.
" Devouring origin... turning it into one's own... "
The Blood-Pupil Demonic Tiger Ancestor retreated again and again.
" This is... this is the inheritance of the Ruthless Empress from back then! "
As soon as these words were spoken.
The alien Great Sages completely collapsed.
The Ruthless Empress!
That terrifying existence who once made the myriad races of the starry sky tremble with fear and suppressed an entire era with her own strength!
Her inheritance had actually reappeared in this young human!
" Run! Quickly, run! "
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Great Sage shrieked and turned to tear open space to escape.
They had completely lost their will to fight. Facing a monster who possessed the Ruthless Empress's inheritance and had such abnormal combat power, continuing to fight would only lead to death.
" Since you've already come, why are you in such a hurry to leave? "
Lin Fan sneered, his Great Saint Realm pressure, combined with the Three Thousand Great Daos, completely locked down the space for a hundred thousand li around them.
The space was as solid as a rock; it was impossible to break through.
The Thirteen Great Sages became turtles in a jar.
The Heavenly Serpent Great Sage, dragging his half-crippled body, fell to his knees in the void with a thud.
He completely cast aside the dignity of a Great Sage and frantically kowtowed to Lin Fan.
" Lord Lin Fan! Lord Saint Lin! "
The Heavenly Serpent Great Sage wept bitterly.
" I was wrong! My Heavenly Snake Clan is willing to submit! I am willing to be your slave and serve you as a dog or horse for generations to come! "
" Please spare my life! I don't want to die! "
A Great Sage, begging for mercy in public.
Lin Fan looked down from above at the Heavenly Serpent Great Sage kneeling before him.
He slowly raised his right hand.
" Be my slave? "
Lin Fan spoke.
" You are not worthy. "
As his voice fell.
The black devouring vortex erupted again in Lin Fan's palm, directly engulfing the Heavenly Serpent Great Sage.
" No—!!! "
The Heavenly Serpent Great Sage screamed.
The 'Source Devouring Saint Transformation Scripture' operated mercilessly.
In everyone's eyes, the Heavenly Serpent Great Sage's body rapidly shriveled, and his origin was drained.
Another handful of fly ash scattered in the wind.
The second Great Sage had fallen!
Witnessing two Great Sages being drained of their origins alive and turned into fly ash.
The remaining Twelve Great Sages completely collapsed.
Dignity? Pride?
In the face of the fear of death, they were worthless.
" Thud! Thud! Thud! "
The Twelve alien Great Sages, in order to survive, had to put away all their pride and dignity.
They all knelt in the void, bowing their heads toward that human sage.
" Lord Saint Lin's divine might is unrivaled! We are willing to be slaves for generations! "
" Please show mercy, my Lord! Grant us a way to live! "
Pleas for mercy arose one after another. This group of old monsters who had lived for over a hundred thousand years, in order to survive, banged their heads so hard that even the void rippled with the impact.
Lin Fan stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down on this group of old geezers.
On the surface, he was calm and breezy, but in his heart, he was as clear as a mirror.
These old monsters had lived for endless years, and their bones were filled with arrogance and cunning. Their kowtowing and begging for mercy now was nothing more than a stalling tactic, as they were terrified by his methods of draining the Bright Great Sage and the Heavenly Serpent Great Sage alive.
As long as they were given a chance to breathe, once they found a flaw, they would absolutely bite back without hesitation.
" Want to work for me? " Lin Fan revealed a mouthful of white teeth.
" Sure. "
Hearing this, the Twelve Great Sages kneeling on the ground were overjoyed.
The Blood-Pupil Demonic Tiger Ancestor buried his head extremely low to hide the resentment deep in his pupils.
" As long as I survive today's death calamity, I will definitely contact the supreme existences in the depths of the starry sky and tear you, little beast, into ten thousand pieces! " The Blood-Pupil Demonic Tiger Ancestor roared frantically in his heart.
Not just him, the other Eleven Great Sages also had their own agendas.
Lin Fan took in all their micro-expressions and couldn't be bothered to call them out.
" Since you want to be my employees, you have to sign a lifetime employment contract. "
Lin Fan silently thought to himself: " System, open the panel. "
A transparent light screen that only he could see unfolded before his eyes.
Just now in the Enlightenment Pagoda, he had gone on a crazy shopping spree and accumulated a massive amount of evolution points. Added to the fact that he had just insta-killed millions of the alien army, his evolution points had long since broken through the hundred-billion mark.
Lin Fan's gaze quickly scanned the list of Three Thousand Great Daos, finally resting on the seventh-ranked "Heart Demon Dao".
" To deal with these old foxes who harbor evil intentions, one has to use some underworld methods. "
Lin Fan gave the order without hesitation: " System, dump points into the Heart Demon Dao for me until it's maxed out! "
" Ding! Host's order received! "
" Deducting ten billion evolution points! Heart Demon Dao upgraded to Lv50! "
" Deducting twenty billion evolution points! Heart Demon Dao upgraded to Lv70! "
" Deducting fifty billion evolution points! Heart Demon Dao upgraded to Lv90! "
The crisp system notification sounds furiously flooded Lin Fan's mind.
In just two seconds.
Deep within Lin Fan's sea of consciousness, a stormy sea surged.
An extremely strange, dark, primal force that pointed directly to the deepest fears of all living beings exploded within him.
" Ding! Congratulations, Host! Heart Demon Dao has reached Lv90, comprehending the origin divine ability — [Great Heart Demon Art]! "
Lin Fan closed his eyes, sensing that hair-raising power within him.
Great Heart Demon Art!
This divine ability did not require physical contact at all; it acted directly on the soul and subconscious. As long as the opponent had even the slightest bit of evil intent, greed, or rebellious heart, the Great Heart Demon Art could infinitely amplify it, ultimately turning it into the Heart Demon Fire that burned everything, incinerating the host into nothingness from within.
It was simply the perfect divine skill for controlling turncoats!
Lin Fan opened his eyes, black demonic flames faintly dancing in the depths of his pupils.
He looked at the trembling Twelve Great Sages below, his tone gentle.
" Everyone, since we are all colleagues in the same company from now on, in order to prevent anyone from job-hopping, let's go through a process. "
Lin Fan raised his right hand, his fingertip lightly tapping in the air.
" Everyone, open up your minds and don't resist. I'm going to stamp you. "
The Twelve Great Sages looked at each other.
Open up their minds?
For cultivators, the soul is the greatest forbidden zone. Once they open up their minds, it is equivalent to handing their lives completely over to the other party.
