Chapter 288 Face Of God (1)

The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor could have waited and slowly made Lin Fan drop his guard, but he really couldn't wait anymore.

He really wanted Lin Fan's body right now.

Though the main reason he gave in to his impatience and revealed everything was because he was confident in taking Lin Fan down even if he had his guard up. After all, Lin Fan was only in the Foundation Realm and he…was in the Nascent Soul Realm!

There was no way that Lin Fan would be able to overcome this large gap of four full cultivation realms to escape his grasps.

So he wasn't worried about anything as he suddenly reached his hand out towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had already expected something like this to happen since this had all seemed too shady.

While he didn't expect the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor to be after his body itself, he had expected him to threaten his life.

So he had already prepared himself to jump into the Pet Storage Space at any time.

The Pet Storage Space was something that couldn't be constrained by the laws of this world since it was something that came from the system given to him by the God of Earth. It was something that completely broke the balance of this world since it allowed Lin Fan to hide inside without being detected.

Even the top experts in this world wouldn't be able to find Lin Fan.

This was an item that was made by a god and unless one possessed power greater than a god, they wouldn't be able to find Lin Fan.

So there was no need to mention this Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor.

The only problem was that Lin Fan had to get inside the Pet Storage Space first.

As he was about to use his mind to pull himself into the Pet Storage Space, Lin Fan suddenly felt something strange come over him. It was a feeling of extreme exhaustion that made it impossible for him to move his body.

Even his mind couldn't help feeling very strange, as if he wasn't in control of it anymore.

Lin Fan didn't know what was happening, but he immediately thought about entering the Pet Storage Space.

Unfortunately for him, nothing happened.

It was as if he couldn't connect to the Pet Storage Space. It was as if there was something that was blocking his mind from connecting to the Pet Storage Space to let him in.

Lin Fan had never thought that this was possible before, but it seemed like there was something that he had missed in his plans.

Lin Fan looked up at the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor who was floating towards him with an outstretched hand and shouted, "What did you do to me?"

Seeing this, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor revealed a faint smile as he said, "How does it feel? Is it a good feeling?"

Lin Fan just glared at him without answering.

The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor stopped moving after saying that and he just floated above Lin Fan since he knew that he had succeeded.

The diving action was actually just a fake, his real intentions were…

"Ha, ha, ha!" The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor burst out into laughter seeing the pained look on Lin Fan's face. Then he said with a faint smile, "It's poison."

That was right.

When he had spread his hand just now while diving at Lin Fan, he had thrown poison in Lin Fan's direction. This wasn't a fatal poison, but it was more than enough to restrain Lin Fan.

The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor then said, "It's a quick acting paralytic poison that will numb both the body and mind. This will be the last time that you will have your own consciousness, so feel free to say anything you want to say."

Lin Fan gritted his teeth, but in truth it was more like he was just gently touching them together. He really didn't have the energy to grit them like normal since the poison had completely spread through his body.

With the bit of energy that he did have left, he kept trying to use his mind to send himself into the Pet Storage Space.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times he thought it in his mind, he wasn't sent into the Pet Storage Space.

It seemed that he really was out of luck this time…

He had thought that he would be able to beat this bad luck of his with his cheat system, but it seemed like there was only a limit to how much bad luck he could counter with it. In the end, his bad luck caught up to him and now…he was dead.

Unwillingness.

That was the only thing that Lin Fan felt when his eyelids closed.

Seeing Lin Fan slump to the ground, the smile on the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor's face became wider and more wild.

Then he landed in front of Lin Fan and leaned forward to grab Lin Fan by the hair, lifting his head up to take a look at the face. Looking at it, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor couldn't help saying, "Not bad, not bad, this face is quite handsome as well. It really fits someone as great as me."

The way that he said this really sounded conceited, but there was no one else here, so it wasn't as if they would say anything about it.

After appreciating Lin Fan's face a bit longer, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor suddenly lifted him up carefully.

He carefully lifted Lin Fan over to the coffin and carefully put it in so that it was resting inside the coffin.

As for why he was being so careful…

Naturally it was because he wanted to avoid hurting Lin Fan's body.

It would be his body in the future, so he wouldn't want it to be hurt before he could take it.

That would just be putting the carriage in front of the horse.

That would just be hurting himself.

After making sure that Lin Fan was settled in properly, he stood there for a minute as if he was thinking about something. The way that he looked at Lin Fan during this time was like the way that a scientist would look at his test subject.

It was clear that he wanted to do something to Lin Fan, but in the end, he was able to hold back and leave him alone.

While he was turning around, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor muttered to himself, "It's fine, I have plenty of time to analyze the body later. The most important thing is to finish the ritual as soon as possible so that he doesn't wake up and cause more trouble."

After turning around, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor went in a circle around Lin Fan, waving his hand around like he was crazy.

If anyone saw him dancing around Lin Fan like this, they definitely would have thought that he was crazy.

However, there was a reason why he was doing this.

It didn't show itself at first, but after he made a full rotation around Lin Fan, there was an array that appeared around the coffin.

After this array appeared, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor didn't stop moving and continued dancing around the coffin in that strange manner.

After another rotation around the coffin, there was another array that appeared around the first array.

Still, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor didn't stop dancing.

He kept going until he made ninety nine full rotations around the coffin, creating ninety nine different arrays around the coffin. Only when he reached the one hundredth rotation did he suddenly stop.

Then he started going in the opposite direction and danced around the coffin just like the first ninety nine times.

Once he finished this one hundredth rotation around, there was a different array that appeared around the coffin.

This one hundredth array only appeared for an instant before suddenly fusing with the other ninety nine arrays that had been formed previously. The array lines of these arrays quickly came together and soon they had formed a giant array made up of all one hundred arrays.

The moment that this giant array was formed, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor stepped up to the coffin so that he was standing over Lin Fan's head.

Looking down at Lin Fan for a few seconds, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor suddenly raised his hand towards the array above the coffin and started channeling his spiritual energy.

The moment that his spiritual energy was channeled into the array, it suddenly started glowing with an intense glow.

This was a glow that was too strong for people to look at directly, but seeing this, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor revealed a wide smile.

The array stayed lit up for a few seconds longer before suddenly turning dim again.

As it dimmed, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor's body suddenly crumpled and fell to the ground.

…

Inside a very dark space, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor appeared out of nowhere.

However, he looked very different from what he looked like before.

Gone was the young appearance that his body had before, now he looked like an old man who seemed to be close to dying.

But his movements weren't affected at all by this old body.

He looked around himself until he saw what he was looking for.

At the center of this very dark space, there was a figure that seemed to be made of light lying there.

Seeing this, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor revealed a smile and walked over.
