When the envoy saw the weapon appear in Lin Fan's hands, he couldn't help feeling a bit of danger coming from it.
Then the envoy shook his head and couldn't help feeling ashamed at feeling danger from this lower realm trash.
The envoy released his pet which was a Sun Crow and had that Sun Crow release its golden flames, which gathered around the envoy like a cloak. At which point, the envoy raised his hand and gathered a portion of the flame in his palm as a fireball.
The envoy looked at Lin Fan and said with a confident look, "This is your last chance to submit, choose wisely."
Lin Fan just looked back at him and said, "So the envoy of the upper realm doesn't need to care about anything when he's killing trash of a lower realm? Is this how the upper realm treats people of the lower realm?"
Lin Fan was trying to incite the crowd so they would support him since the power of the opinion of the public was much stronger than it seemed.
The envoy just revealed a smile and said, "Of course not, how could I blatantly break the rules of the Galactic Humanity Alliance? After all, we are all humans."
The laws of the Galactic Humanity Alliance stated that humans weren't allowed to attack each other at will, doing so would divide the unity of mankind and leave them weakened when facing their invaders. The only thing that meant one could be attacked was to break the laws of humanity. Once that happened, the offender would be stripped of their classification as a human and would be hunted by all humans.
Then after a pause, the envoy said, "Of course, it is different if it is a matter of personal vengeance."
At this, Chen Ba Wang turned to point at Elder Chen as he said, "Do you remember that trash son of his?"
Elder Chen's face turned ugly when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it since it was the envoy saying this. If it was anyone else, he would have already fought to death with them. Even if his son was trash, he was the only one who was allowed to say this.
The envoy ignored the look on Elder Chen's face and said, "His surname is Chen and my surname is Chen, so what do you think that means?"
Lin Fan just revealed a cold smile and gave a cold snort when he heard this. Clearly he could understand what the envoy was trying to say.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe envoy paused again to say, "As you can guess already, this trash son is actually a distant branch member of my family and with how you've shamed him, naturally it is up to me to get revenge for him."
No one believed this envoy when he said that Elder Chen's family was a branch family of his family.
The only thing that was true was that his surname was similar to Elder Chen's surname, but as for whether they were related or not, everyone knew the answer in their hearts. Still, who would dare to call him out on this?
Lin Fan just smiled as he said, "Why are you wasting all these words? We all know what is going to happen, so let's just begin."
The envoy was surprised since he thought that Lin Fan would try to argue, he never expected Lin Fan to directly fight him. It had to be known, Lin Fan was only in the Platinum Realm and he was in the Fragmented Soul Realm. This wasn't just a single step, this was the difference between heaven and earth.
Still since this fit his idea, he had no reason to deny this.
The envoy revealed a smile and said, "Since you want to die, I'll be more than happy to oblige."
The envoy used the fireball that was gathered in his hands and released it at Lin Fan, but this time it was different since Lin Fan was prepared.
Lin Fan gathered the combination of three laws into his weapon and slashed down at the fireball, cutting it in half. Both halves went on opposite sides of him before exploding in the air.
The envoy was shocked when he saw this, but then seeing the power of the three laws mixing around Lin Fan's sword, his eyes immediately narrowed.
There was also a faint sparkle around the artifact which was different from last time.
According to what Lin Fan had heard from Momonga, this sparkle was actually an indication of the artifact developing an artifact spirit.
Artifact spirits were spiritualizations of artifacts, which allowed them to become self aware. This was important because artifacts that were self aware had the ability to improve themselves.
For this specific artifact, since it was made from Iron Eater bones, this meant that this artifact had the same specialty of the Iron Eater. As long as this artifact was fed different kinds of metals, it would be able to evolve and increase in grade.
To put it in game terms, this was a weapon that could level, which meant that it would grow with Lin Fan and he wouldn't need another weapon.
Then there was the fact that it had an artifact spirit which when developed enough, would become a second brain for Lin Fan during fights.
But for now, it hadn't fully developed its artifact spirit, so the artifact still couldn't communicate with Lin Fan. There was only a special bond that was formed between them that allowed Lin Fan to easily control the artifact, as well as infusing his laws and powers into it without resistance.
The envoy quickly overcame his surprise as he looked over Lin Fan's sword and he realized that it wasn't a normal artifact. The danger that he had felt earlier wasn't from Lin Fan, but rather his weapon, so there was nothing to worry about.
This time, instead of letting the envoy attack first, Lin Fan released his life energy and gathered the power of his laws around his sword as he charged forward.
But Lin Fan's life energy was also different compared to before, it was much thicker and brighter compared to before. Lin Fan had broken through to the mid Platinum Realm!
This was all because of the Enlightenment Pill that he had refined.
One defining feature of Lin Fan's God Tier Alchemy Skill was that when he refined and condensed the medicinal energy of the ingredients enough, there might be enough to form two pills as long as he used his technique properly.
That was the case with the Enlightenment Pill and he had received a second 100% purity Enlightenment Pill that he had kept for himself.
During this time, he had used that pill and with the help to his cultivation, he had broken through to the mid Platinum Realm.
Lin Fan slashed down at the envoy with his giant sword, but the envoy was no pushover himself.
The envoy gathered his flame laws to block Lin Fan's slash, but then they were both pushed back.
It seemed like they were even, but there was a slight difference.
The envoy had been pushed back a single step while Lin Fan had been pushed back two steps.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the end, the envoy was still the one who came up on top since he was a genuine Fragmented Soul Realm Expert, it was still not something that Lin Fan who was in the Platinum Realm could match, even if he did come close to matching him.
The envoy didn't give Lin Fan a chance to catch his breath as he raised both his hands and created two whips of flame that shot out at Lin Fan, but Lin Fan was prepared. Lin Fan quickly swept out with his sword in a horizontal arc that cut through the flame whips.
However, the envoy didn't stop there as he continued waving his hand and sending out more and more flame whips which Lin Fan cut down with more and more swings as they approached.
The two of them seemed like they were even, but it became very clear that Lin Fan wasn't able to keep up in terms of endurance.
While Lin Fan's physique could match that of the envoy's, his life energy reserves weren't as rich even if he was using his suction power to drain part of the envoy's power.
As the flame whips continued, Lin Fan was pushed back step by step as the power of laws on his sword began to weaken.
Lin Fan could tell that he would be defeated if this were to continue, so he had no choice but to use one of his trump cards.
Lin Fan summoned out three pets with a whistle, they were a little chick, a little dog, and a little lizard.
The envoy was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Lin Fan's pet as he stopped his attacks, but then he broke out in laughter and said, "What are you trying to do, kill me with cute pets?"
Lin Fan just smiled as he said, "You'll see."
Then the three pets exploded with life energy as they changed into their battle forms before combining with Lin Fan to form his battle armour.
The power of their laws combined with the power of Lin Fan's laws created a powerful glow around the giant bone sword.
The envoy's expression immediately fell since he could tell that this was bad.
He could accept the combination of three laws because this was something the top geniuses of the upper realm had reached, but the combination of five laws? That was something that had never been heard of before.
He could tell that even if it was him, this would be dangerous.
