Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Control Flag

Throughout his journey, Lin Fan had encountered the Twelve Evil People many times under extremely dangerous circumstances. Thankfully, the Universal Image had warned him in advance, otherwise, he might have really fallen into the hands of the Twelve Evil People.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin Fan sensed energy fluctuations and carefully made his way toward their source. Before long, in a very concealed place, he saw two people.

Zhao Lin and Jade Rakshasa!

However, at this point, both of them were in a sorry state, covered in wounds.

Previously, although they had escaped from the clutches of Old Dragon Subduing, they had paid a heavy price.

"Is it actually those two?"

Upon seeing them, Lin Fan didn’t stop for a moment and quickly left.

Lin Fan knew very well that these two guys were not good people; if he showed himself, he might also be killed by them.

Once again, he proceeded with great caution!

Finally, after a long time, Lin Fan suddenly stopped.

At the same time, he looked intently toward a specific place ahead and a look of eagerness appeared on his face.

"Array fluctuations? I didn’t expect there to be such strong array fluctuations here. If I’m not mistaken, there seems to be a special array ahead!" Lin Fan thought to himself.

Lin Fan quickly headed forward...

Soon, Lin Fan discovered an array.

This was also a Concealing Array.

Lin Fan was astonished to find that within the Concealed Array, a huge palace was hidden.

However, this array was too strong; under normal circumstances, even Lin Fan wouldn’t be able to detect the existence of this array, and it only released some energy fluctuations at specific times.

But the released energy fluctuations were very faint.

It was also because Lin Fan had a lot of expertise in arrays, coupled with his Will Realm reaching the Mortal Sixth Layer; otherwise, he wouldn’t have felt these faint energy fluctuations.

"Not good!"

In that instant, Lin Fan suddenly felt a very dangerous presence enveloping him.

Lin Fan knew that someone was coming to kill him!

Looking back, Lin Fan was horrified to find that one of the Evil People had discovered him and was coming at him without hesitation.

You have to know, that’s a Saint Ascension level powerhouse!

There was still some distance from Lin Fan, but the overpowering presence was already suffocating him!

"Damn it!"

Lin Fan couldn’t help cursing in his heart.

Then, he pushed his speed to the limit and rushed toward the Concealing Array without any hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan had reached the edge of the array, and with just one more step, he could completely enter the Concealing Array.

Lin Fan believed that once he entered the Concealing Array, he would be saved.

Because once he entered the Concealing Array, the Evil Person wouldn’t be able to find him...

However, Lin Fan still underestimated the strength of a Saint Ascension level powerhouse.

Before Lin Fan could enter the Concealing Array, the attack of the Evil Person had arrived, crushing him like a mountain, leaving him gasping for air.

"Not good!"

A fresh wave of terror swept through Lin Fan’s heart.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan burned his Life Fire...

And then, he further increased his speed!

At this moment, Lin Fan was desperate to rush into the Concealing Array.

Unfortunately, the strength of a Saint Ascension level powerhouse was too overwhelming. Even though Lin Fan burned his Life Fire, it was futile; ultimately, a surge of powerful energy came crashing down, about to hit Lin Fan.

If this energy were to fully hit him, Lin Fan would surely be smashed to pieces!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Lin Fan, at the expense of damaging his life force, burned his Life Fire once more and narrowly avoided the vital parts in an extremely dangerous situation.

Boom...

Finally, there was a loud noise, and only a tiny fraction of the energy impacted Lin Fan’s body.

Even that tiny fraction of energy was too much for Lin Fan to bear. He felt as if the whole world was bearing down on him, and then, propelled by this tremendous energy, his body flew into the Concealing Array. However, after falling into the Concealing Array, he completely passed out.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, the Evil Person had arrived.

When the Evil Person did not find Lin Fan’s trace, frustration appeared on his face.

What’s going on?

The guy was clearly here just a moment ago!

But how could he suddenly disappear out of thin air?

Because this person had been refined into an Evil Person, his intelligence had been somewhat affected, even to the point of being quite low. Had it been a normal person here, they might have rushed in to search for Lin Fan.

After not discovering Lin Fan, the Evil Person also quickly left.

Subsequently, Evil People kept passing by, yet they still failed to discover Lin Fan.

Once, even Old Dragon Subduing himself passed by.

"Hmm?"

During his passage, Old Dragon Subduing suddenly became perplexed because he sensed a curious notion here, yet what exactly was odd about it, Old Dragon Subduing couldn’t articulate at the moment.

"How strange!"

Old Dragon Subduing’s brows furrowed slightly.

Afterward, Old Dragon Subduing also left quickly.

Since he couldn’t find anything peculiar about this place, he decided to drop the matter and focus on the Holy Dragon Fruit. Even though he was aware of the anomaly here, Old Dragon Subduing decided to look for the Holy Dragon Fruit first and then come back to investigate this place...

Lin Fan, still within the Concealing Array, remained in a deep state of unconsciousness...

Unbeknownst to him, at this time, strands of bizarre energy swirled around him and then voluntarily entered and stored up inside his body, with the Ancient Dominating Soul Technique activating on its own.

It’s uncertain how much time had passed, but these stored energies began to furiously pound against Lin Fan’s Soul Eye.

Pop pop pop...

Inside Lin Fan’s body, a series of crisp sounds echoed.

One after another, his Soul Eyes opened!

In merely a brief moment, Lin Fan’s Soul Eyes were already opened by ten.

At this point, Lin Fan had a total of sixty-three Soul Eyes opened.

That is to say, Lin Fan’s Cultivation had once again made a breakthrough, reaching the Middle Period of the Earth Profound Realm.

However, at this time, Lin Fan was still in a comatose state, while his body gradually underwent transformation...

Finally, after an unknown period had passed, Lin Fan slowly woke up.

"Ss, that really hurts!"

Lin Fan couldn’t help but gasp for air.

Because, upon the slightest movement, Lin Fan was shocked to discover that his entire body was incredibly sore, a sensation that was truly very uncomfortable...

"Eh?"

But the next moment, Lin Fan completely disregarded all the pain as if throwing it into the clouds.

Because...

Lin Fan was startled to discover that his Cultivation had actually reached the Middle Period of the Earth Profound Realm?

"This... How could this have happened?"

Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel extremely surprised.

But soon, Lin Fan calmed his own emotions. Regardless, he knew that the priority was to stabilize his Cultivation and recover his body.

Previously, he was severely injured by one of the Evil People.

It was fortunate that at the critical moment, Lin Fan had a breakthrough in Cultivation; otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to awaken so soon.

Through Lin Fan’s continuous cultivation, his injuries recovered very quickly, and before long, Lin Fan was completely healed.

"Now that my Cultivation has reached the Middle Period of the Earth Profound Realm, I suppose my combat power must have increased a bit, right?"

Lin Fan looked forward to it in his heart.

Then, Lin Fan began to examine his combat prowess.

However...

Upon examination, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, because he sadly discovered that even though his Cultivation had successfully advanced, his combat power didn’t seem to have increased much!

Previously, Lin Fan’s combat power was already at the Middle Period of the Heavenly Profound Realm.

But now, his combat power still remained at the Middle Period of the Heavenly Profound Realm. Although there was a certain increase, the minor improvement was practically negligible in the grand scheme of things.

"How strange!"

Lin Fan was utterly dismayed in his heart.

For others, their combat power would definitely jump tremendously from the Early Period to the Middle Period of the Earth Profound Realm, but...

In his case, the combat power barely increased?

This was utterly bizarre!

"It seems there are still secrets within me that I have yet to uncover!" Lin Fan thought to himself again.

Then, Lin Fan set it aside, as his combat power had increased after all, no matter how small the increment.

What Lin Fan didn’t know was that his combat power had not increased much, in part because it was not solely dependent on Cultivation for energy, but also on many other aspects, such as being an Ancient Soul Body, the power of the soul, the Will Realm, the Soul Domain, and so on.

In comparison, Cultivation had much less control over combat power.

Therefore, even though Lin Fan’s Cultivation ascended a minor Realm, his combat power did not increase too much.

"Forget it, next, I should quickly refine a Control Flag!" Lin Fan then planned to refine the Control Flag.

Actually, Lin Fan previously intended to refine some of the Holy Dragon Fruit to enhance his Cultivation.

But because his Cultivation had already advanced to the Middle Period of the Earth Profound Realm just now, Lin Fan decided to hold off for the time being, as rushing his Cultivation breakthrough could potentially lead to an unstable foundation in his practice, resulting in more loss than gain.

So, Lin Fan had decided to wait for a while until his Cultivation was completely solidified before considering refining the Holy Dragon Fruit.

For now, the pressing matter was to refine the Control Flag.
