Chapter 1340 - Plundering the Divine Art

“Brat, quit acting smug. Although you somehow broke the Eye of Breaking Deception, I already saw your weakness in that brief moment!” Earthly Fiend Star said savagely.

Chen Fan’s expression turned grave. However, he quickly noticed the flicker in Earthly Fiend Star’s expression and laughed. “Haha, you’re indeed cunning. Trying to shake my mind, make me unstable, and force a weakness. Clever move. I almost fell for it!”

If anyone else had said it, Chen Fan would have believed them. After all, he had indeed felt like the eye had seen through him. So, when Earthly Fiend Star said that he had seen through his weakness, Chen Fan subconsciously believed him.

Yet as soon as he spoke, Chen Fan caught a flash of panic in Earthly Fiend Star’s eyes.

“I knew it!”

With this, Chen Fan was sure that Earthly Fiend Star was only bluffing. He hadn’t seen through the weakness.

“Brat, you tricked me!”

Earthly Fiend Star snapped, furious. He realized too late that he had betrayed himself.

“Haha, what’s wrong with this? Courtesy demands reciprocity,” said Chen Fan with a laugh.

Had he really seen through Chen Fan’s weakness, he would have been forced to use the Nine Immortals Bell.

But the bell was a weapon that touched immortal heights. Using it against a Void Immortal was like firing artillery at mosquitoes.

You damned bastard, you’re still no match for me. At best, you’re my equal, but I am a peak middle-stage Void Immortal; you can only mimic that power for a short while. How could you compare? Go to hell!”

Furious, Earthly Fiend Star unleashed the power of breaking deception. His fist twisted space, forming a world that pierced through falsehood and hurtled toward Chen Fan.

“Hahahaha, how laughable. Since you still have delusions, I’ll beat reality into you!” A streak of terrifying sword light swept out from Chen Fan, cleaving that world apart and reducing it to nothing.

“You Ominous Stars have plagued the world for years. Today, I end you, bringing justice for the heavens.”

Chen Fan pressed his advantage and stepped forward with unstoppable momentum. Rumbling noises rang nonstop. His aura crushed the air as he unleashed a barrage of punches.

Rumble!

Although Earthly Fiend Star’s fortuitous opportunity was powerful, his limited cultivation bottlenecked the technique. Chen Fan’s punches shattered the power of breaking deception.

Boom!

Earthly Fiend Star was sent flying out. Fresh blood spurted wildly. All of his defenses, including his defensive vest, blew up, even injuring him with the explosion.

He was on the verge of a breakdown.

“How is this possible? How could you possibly be this terrifying? Even if you’re some divine being, you’re only in the early-stage Invincible Legendary realm. So be it if you’re as strong as a Void Immortal, but why hasn’t your momentum waned in the slightest? This is impossible, it doesn’t make any sense!”

He thought that Chen Fan couldn’t sustain such power for long; now, on the brink of death, he saw Chen Fan not weakening but growing stronger. It defied the very laws of the Heavenly Dao.

“What’s impossible about this? You’re just a bandit. How could you possibly know everything in the world? My foundation isn’t something you can imagine. Die!”

Chen Fan’s strikes clung to him like a shadow. Another Hand of Demon fell, shaking heaven and earth, dimming sun and moon.

Although it was only a quasi-immortal art, in the Heavenly Realm, very few people below the immortal realm were able to cultivate immortal arts. Most people practiced heaven-tier martial arts.

Boom, tch!

Earthly Fiend Star couldn’t resist Chen Fan’s attacks at all. His physique split with countless cracks, as if ready to shatter. Finally, his mind crumbled. He could already sense the Grim Reaper walking toward him. Fear hollowed him out.

“Ah, don’t kill me, don’t kill me. I don’t want to die. I’ll submit, I’ll serve you and gather endless cultivation resources for you, and live as your slave. Spare me!”

The underlings of Ominous Star Fortress froze in disbelief. Their chief, once untouchable, was groveling on his knees. To them, Earthly Fiend Star was invincible. Countless disciples of immortal holy lands had fallen here without exception.

They thought this time would be the same, but it just so happened that a monster had come. The monster slaughtered eight of their chiefs like poultry, and even their head chief crumbled apart from the beating and was begging for mercy.

Was Chen Fan really this terrifying?

“Hoho, what do you take me for? Spare you? How is that possible? Wouldn’t I be taking the side of evildoers, then? So, you’d better go die!”

Naturally, Chen Fan couldn't agree to Earthly Fiend Star’s plea.

If he tried such a thing and word spread, the Featherlight Sect would be the first to execute him.

Realizing he had no chance of survival, Earthly Fiend Star prepared to self-destruct, hoping to drag Chen Fan down with him.

“Ah, since that is the case, then I’ll fight you to the death! I’ll bring you down with me!”

“Ridiculous. Trying to self-destruct in front of me? Not a chance!” Chen Fan sneered coldly and grabbed with a large hand, crushing Earthly Fiend Star and his soul. Blood essence and divine arts flowed into Chen Fan, instantly absorbed.

For a while, he ignored the underlings of Ominous Star Fortress, focusing wholly on unraveling the Eye of Breaking Deception. Soon, he grasped its mysteries.

As he had expected, the Eye of Breaking Deception was an incredible divine art. Condensing the eye was merely crossing its initial threshold. In Earthly Fiend Star’s hands, its true potential was never shown.

With the help of the small golden person, Chen Fan deduced the eye to nearly the same level as the Earthly Fiend Star. Next, he also condensed the eye at his glabella, shocking the small fries of the Ominous Star Fortress.
