Chapter 277 Senior Sister is Cold?

At this moment, he charged at Yun Fan recklessly.

"As expected, there's something wrong!"

A cold smile flickered across Yun Fan's lips. Was this the headquarters of the uncanny? Perfect, he could deal with them all at once.

Just then, snowflakes danced, blinding them. In such a frigid environment, an ordinary person would likely not survive an hour.

Yun Fan unleashed his movement technique and battled this uncanny expert. Because his companion had been killed by Yun Fan earlier, he harbored an insurmountable fear of Yun Fan.

"Kid, how about we call a truce?"

He asked Yun Fan.

"What's in it for me?"

Yun Fan scoffed. These people had initiated the fight. Now they wanted a truce? Was this a joke?

"The benefit is that we won't target you anymore. We'll let bygones be bygones!"

He stated his objective directly.

With Yun Fan's restraining power, only by resurrecting their ancestor could they stand a chance against him.

However, Yun Fan replied, "Sorry, I don't accept a truce. Therefore, you still have to die!"

With that, Yun Fan struck, and his palm strike split the entire ice plain with a gaping fissure.

"You're courting death!"

The uncanny expert roared in anger. He hadn't expected Yun Fan to show him no mercy. He had likely forgotten that he was the prey, and Yun Fan was the hunter.

At this moment, he and Yun Fan engaged in a fierce battle. He dared not fight Yun Fan in close combat, fearing he would be infected by the demonic energy.

Once infected, only death awaited him.

Yun Fan attacked, his immense power descending.

Even without close combat, Yun Fan could infuse his aura with demonic energy, making it utterly unpredictable.

This uncanny expert never imagined that he had been infected by Yun Fan silently.

Then, flames began to burn from within his body.

"Roar!"

He let out a roar, preparing to unleash his full power, but the flames intensified, causing him to writhe on the ground in agony.

"Ah!"

He screamed in pain, attempting to inflict damage on Yun Fan with his last ounce of strength. However, Yun Fan was already prepared.

He unleashed his demonic energy, burning the expert to ashes.

After dealing with the uncanny expert, Yun Fan showed no emotional reaction, as it was all quite ordinary to him.

The only regret was that the devouring aspect of his demonic energy could not absorb the opponent's power, as he had no opportunity.

Once the demonic energy touched the uncanny energy, it would ignite it. By the time the uncanny energy was nearly consumed, the power would be all but gone.

At this moment, Yun Fan began to descend beneath the ten-thousand-zhang of ice.

Upon reaching the depths, he discovered a place of sacrifice. The palace was carved from ice, appearing as if it had been formed naturally.

A potent uncanny aura permeated the surroundings, more terrifying than that of the two uncanny experts he had encountered before. Furthermore, it was an ancient uncanny aura from the primordial wilderness.

Indeed, an uncanny ancestor.

Silently, he dispelled the spectral energies, finally seeing the uncanny ancestor lying within the ice coffin.

Externally, the individual appeared no different from a living person, yet the uncanny aura emanating from them was incredibly fearsome.

Even Yun Fan felt an unprecedented tremor at this moment.

Fortunately, the opponent had not awakened. If they had, he was unsure if he could defeat them with his current strength.

While there was a natural counter-force, if the power vastly surpassed his own, then this so-called counter-force would be of little use.

At this moment, he prepared to strike and annihilate the opponent.

Unexpectedly, as his power descended, it was repelled back by the opponent.

"Has he awakened?"

Yun Fan showed a look of confusion. Sudan Novel Network

Just then, the ice coffin shattered, and the uncanny ancestor opened their eyes. Even a mere glance made Yun Fan tremble.

The opponent was too powerful. Even in an extremely weakened state, they possessed combat power surpassing that of the World-Shaking Demonic Ape.

He wondered how strong they were at their peak, perhaps a god of the Mahayana stage?

"A brat wielding demonic energy!"

He coldly eyed Yun Fan. Fortunately, Yun Fan's strength was not yet formidable, otherwise, disaster would surely strike today.

Yun Fan asked, "Are you an uncanny ancestor?"

"The Seventh Uncanny Ancestor!"

He declared his title directly.

The Seventh Uncanny Ancestor?

As expected, it was much as Yun Fan had speculated. He had long suspected that there was more than one ancestor within the uncanny lineage.

At this moment, he continued to ask, "How many ancestors do you uncanny have?"

"Nine!"

The opponent answered directly.

Yun Fan asked again, "Where are the rest?"

"Kid, you ask too many questions!"

The Seventh Ancestor said to Yun Fan, "You want to kill me, but unfortunately, your strength is insufficient!"

"That remains to be seen!"

With that, Yun Fan directly activated his demonic energy, shielding his body to guard against a surprise attack, as their combat prowess was not on the same level.

Every step had to be taken with extreme caution.

The Seventh Ancestor said to Yun Fan, "The most pure demonic energy. Fortunately, you haven't advanced further! Otherwise, it would have caused great disaster!"

"Why did you awaken so suddenly?"

This was what truly vexed Yun Fan. Ever since childhood, when he watched television dramas, whether the characters were righteous or villainous, they would spout lengthy monologues before acting, only to be killed by their opponents.

This was known as "dying from talking too much."

However, his actions just now had been incredibly decisive. This situation should not have arisen. Could it be that the opponent's awakening was purely a coincidence?

The Seventh Ancestor said, "Although I was in slumber, if I encountered absolute danger, I would awaken in my weakest state. But even in my weakest state, you are no match for me!"

"Holy cow, there's even a cheat like this!"

Yun Fan was dumbfounded. This was simply unbelievable.

One could only say that the uncanny lineage was even more monstrous.

At this moment, Yun Fan wished to obtain more information from the opponent. Thus, before attacking, he continued to ask, "Did you annihilate the entire mythical era?"

He truly couldn't comprehend how beings like the uncanny, with their strength, could annihilate an entire mythical era, which was replete with powerful figures.

There were many gods in the Mahayana stage, let alone emperors in the Lesser Mahayana stage. For such a powerful era to be annihilated by mere uncanny beings, it seemed like a fantasy to him.

The Seventh Ancestor said dismissively, "Indeed! We were pursued from beyond the domain by the progenitor of your lineage! We thought we would be exterminated by your lineage! Under our incitement, the foolish beings of this world were successfully manipulated, and they joined us in fighting against the progenitor of your lineage! In the end, the progenitor of your lineage perished. Who would have thought that the foolish beings who called themselves gods in this world would also wish to annihilate us? The ultimate price was that we took this opportunity to annihilate the entire mythical era! It's just that we didn't expect your lineage to have left a contingency, nearly leading to our destruction. However, your lineage had ultimately fallen, leaving us heavily wounded and in slumber, but unable to kill us!"

Yun Fan's expression changed instantly upon hearing this. Previously, he had felt inferior due to his demonic nature, but he never expected the demonic lineage to have such a complex origin.

At this moment, he said to Yun Fan again, "Do you know why I'm telling you all this?"

"Of course, I know!"

Yun Fan replied, "Because, in your eyes, I am certainly doomed to die today!"

"It seems you're not entirely foolish, understanding your predicament!"

The Seventh Ancestor continued, "Decades ago, a weakling calling herself 'Tian Nü' also attempted to sneak attack me. In the end, she was infected by me. Now that I have fully awakened, my sole purpose is to kill you!"

Yun Fan was instantly moved. Who else could 'Tian Nü' be but his senior sister? He hadn't expected his senior sister to be infected.

This was dire. He hadn't even met his senior sister yet. If his senior sister had truly been corrupted by the uncanny, then her fate would likely be grim.

Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan pressed further, "Where did she go afterward?"

"After being infected by me, she either became my slave or died. Where else do you think she went?"

The Seventh Ancestor said mockingly.

"Hiss!"

Yun Fan gasped. It seemed his senior sister's fate was dire.

The thought filled him with immense grief and rage. He had envisioned countless futures for meeting his senior sister, but instead, he received this devastating news.

At this moment, Yun Fan, whose hatred was already burning, felt his fighting spirit surge even higher. He vowed to kill the Seventh Ancestor and avenge his senior sister.

"You know all you need to know. Now, you can die!"

The Seventh Ancestor approached Yun Fan step by step. Even though Yun Fan was a powerful demonic cultivator and naturally countered him, he showed no fear. Instead, he adopted the attitude of a hunter admiring his prey.

"Kill!"

At this moment, Yun Fan's fighting spirit reached its zenith. He gathered all his strength and charged at the Seventh Ancestor.

The Seventh Ancestor said playfully, "In my eyes, you are merely an ant. Do you truly believe that you can fight me just by having a counter-force? Ridiculous!"

The next moment, he unleashed his cultivation realm, and a wave of pressure descended, causing the once high-spirited Yun Fan to instantly plummet to the ground.

Even he felt the urge to kneel under this oppressive force, yet he managed to support his wavering body and refused to yield.

Such a terrifying disparity made Yun Fan gasp. Even a true Emperor-stage being would not have exerted such immense pressure on him.

Therefore, Yun Fan immediately concluded that the opponent was a Mahayana-stage expert, a so-called god.

Although the Seventh Ancestor's strength was no longer at the Mahayana stage, in his weakest state, he was only slightly stronger than an Emperor.

However, his realm was genuinely Mahayana.

Without even fighting, the Seventh Ancestor could completely suppress him into submission through his realm alone.

This time, Yun Fan truly understood what it meant to have a vast difference in cultivation. In the face of a Mahayana-stage expert, he was truly like an ant.

Even with the combat power of an Emperor, he could not escape this fated suppression.

"Do you see the difference now? Humble ant!"

He said to Yun Fan with a playful smile, "Even that weakling who ambushed me back then was far stronger than you!"

"In the face of an absolute disparity, you don't even have the chance to counter me!"

Under his unbridled mockery, Yun Fan's anger flared. "I haven't lost yet. Don't be so quick to judge!"

"Haven't lost?"

The Seventh Ancestor asked dismissively, "What else do you have to fight me with now? You'll die without me even having to lift a finger!"

He was not one for lingering. He directly used his realm to suppress Yun Fan, forcing him to the brink of self-destruction.

At this moment, Yun Fan still resisted with his tenacious fighting spirit, though he didn't know how long he could hold on.

What he desired most was an opportunity to attack. Without that opportunity, he could not possibly harm the opponent.

"Still quite resilient!"

The Seventh Ancestor sneered, "It's just a futile struggle!"

"Die!"

Then, the Seventh Ancestor attacked. Under the suppression of his realm, Yun Fan had no chance to evade and became a stationary target.

He was confident that this move would be enough to utterly destroy Yun Fan.

However, just at this moment, a surge of malevolent thoughts within Yun Fan's body awakened, taking control of him.

In an instant, the Seventh Ancestor's suppression was nullified, and his attack was easily deflected.

"What's going on?"

The Seventh Ancestor looked at Yun Fan warily. This foolproof move shouldn't have been so weak.

The malevolent thoughts spoke, "I didn't expect the nine crawling insects from back then to not be completely eradicated!"

"Who are you?"

The Seventh Ancestor's scalp tingled. He had initially thought Yun Fan was merely an unremarkable descendant of the demonic lineage.

He never expected such a turn of events. Calling him a mere insect? Could it be?

"You are the Progenitor of Demonic Arts!"

The Seventh Ancestor exclaimed in shock. Even the title was the same; there was no doubt about it. He had ultimately underestimated Yun Fan.

The malevolent thoughts replied, "It seems you're not entirely foolish, recognizing me!"

The malevolent thoughts did not take the Seventh Ancestor seriously. On that continent beyond the domain, the uncanny lineage had been nearly wiped out by them.

Originally, he would have needed a long time to recover, but he discovered in his slumber that this body was on the verge of shattering.

Therefore, he had expended a great deal of effort to awaken. However, after this awakening, he was unsure how long it would take to awaken again.

This meant that this awakening was out of necessity. In the future, even if Yun Fan's life was threatened, he would be unable to awaken. Thus, after this battle, Yun Fan would have to fight alone for a long time to come.

"You... you're still alive?"

The Seventh Ancestor's voice trembled as he asked.

Their lineage, when massacred by the lineage of the malevolent thoughts, had nearly a hundred uncanny ancestors who escaped.

But they were relentlessly pursued by this malevolent thought and, upon descending to this world, only nine remained.

One could imagine how terrifying this malevolent thought was. In its peak state, even gods like them in the Mahayana stage were mere prey.

The malevolent thoughts replied, "Did you truly believe you could kill me? How laughable!"

"I have been reborn in this era, and I am here to settle accounts with you!"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Ancestor felt utterly dejected. This malevolent thought truly saw itself as the victim. Honestly speaking, they were the victims!

They had been chased into this world by the malevolent thought. Before that, even their ancestral land had been annihilated by the lineage of the malevolent thought.

Now, hearing the malevolent thought's tone, it was as if it considered itself the victim. He had seen shamelessness before, but never anything like this.

At this moment, he said to the malevolent thought, "So what if you've been reborn? Back then, it was because you were too powerful that we suffered this calamity. But now, you only possess the strength of an ant. What do you have to fight me with?"

At this moment, the Seventh Ancestor harbored great ambition. If he could annihilate the malevolent thought, then their uncanny lineage could firmly establish itself in this world.

The so-called gods of this world were beneath their notice.

"My body may be that of an ant, but that doesn't mean I am an ant!"

Instantly, the malevolent thought activated Yun Fan's body and charged at the Seventh Ancestor.

At this moment, the Seventh Ancestor was enraged. Even at such a weakened state, he was still so overbearing, treating him as if he were mere fodder.

Thus, he continued to exert the pressure of his Mahayana realm.

The malevolent thought was indeed affected.

"Am I really this weak?"

The malevolent thought gave a bitter smile and used the most ancient demonic energy, enduring the pressure of the realm as it attacked the Seventh Ancestor.

The Seventh Ancestor's expression changed. The demonic energy unleashed by the malevolent thought was incomparable to that of Yun Fan.

With a single finger, it pierced through his realm's suppression.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the malevolent thought arrived before the Seventh Ancestor.

The Seventh Ancestor, with no other recourse, could only gather all his strength and strike.

But he still underestimated the malevolent thought's power.

At this moment, as the power of both individuals intensified, the ten-thousand-zhang ice plain collapsed.

The malevolent thought and the Seventh Ancestor moved onto the ice surface.

"Crawling insects are always crawling insects. Even if their power surpasses mine, I can still feel an infinite fear within you!"

Facing the insult from the malevolent thought, the Seventh Ancestor became enraged. "I will show you that the way to face fear is to conquer it!"

"How will you conquer me?"

At this moment, the malevolent thought hurled back the same insult the Seventh Ancestor had given to Yun Fan.

The Seventh Ancestor roared, "I will conquer you with my life!"

At this moment, he charged forward, pushing himself to his absolute peak. The consequence was that after reaching his peak, he would perish.

But he couldn't care anymore. If he didn't push himself to his peak, he would be easily dismantled by the malevolent thought. Thus, at this moment, he decided to sacrifice himself to fulfill the ambitions of the other uncanny ancestors.

For them, the greatest enemy in occupying this world was the malevolent thought. As long as the malevolent thought perished, they could achieve victory.

What did his sacrifice matter? At least his sacrifice would be worthwhile.

"Oh no, this has gotten out of hand!"

The malevolent thought also realized the gravity of the situation. In its prime, a mere Seventh Ancestor, even by detonating himself, would pose no threat to it.

But now it was different. This body could not withstand such immense power.

Therefore, in the next moment, the malevolent thought retreated.

"Trying to escape? It's too late!"

The Seventh Ancestor, now like a divine being, pursued the malevolent thought. Unexpectedly, a sinister smile appeared on the malevolent thought's lips.

For some reason, the Seventh Ancestor sensed an ill omen. Just as he was about to investigate, it was already too late.

It turned out that during the brief moment of retreat, the malevolent thought had set up a demonic array. Now, the Seventh Ancestor was trapped within his formation.

"Not good!"

The Seventh Ancestor's expression changed. He had long ingrained the terror of this demonic array in his memory. He recalled that in the past, the malevolent thought had used this very formation to slaughter dozens of his companions.

Although the power of the formation was far less than in the past, his own strength was also far from its former glory.

Before he could escape, demonic energy surged out of the formation.

The Seventh Ancestor's body began to burn.

"You are despicable!"

The Seventh Ancestor cursed in despair.

The malevolent thought said disdainfully, "Do you vermin think you're worthy of a fair fight? You're overthinking it!"

"Even if I die, I'll take you with me!"

At this moment, before the uncanny energy had finished burning him, the Seventh Ancestor detonated himself.

"Boom!"

After a deafening explosion, the heavens and earth spun, and the ten-thousand-zhang ice plain was completely vaporized by the blast. Even the seawater for dozens of miles around dried up.

The malevolent thought, using its last ounce of strength, carried Yun Fan's body to a safe location and then fell into slumber.

To his death, the Seventh Ancestor never imagined that his self-detonation, with its world-ending power, could not even take the opponent down with him.

At this moment, Yun Fan fell into a deep coma. After the impact of the explosion subsided, snowflakes began to fall from the sky once more.

Just as his body was about to be buried by the heavy snow, a blurry figure quietly approached. Although indistinct, it was clear that the figure was a woman in a Hanfu, holding a paper umbrella and a sprig of plum blossoms.
