Beneath the ice.
Lay immeasurable seawater, and beneath the seawater, a land.
Beneath the land.
Lin Fan was playing hide-and-seek with that chilling aura.
Although Lin Fan could see the chilling aura, he was at a disadvantage against the bizarre curse.
He couldn't hit the curse's power, but the curse could.
"Damn it, this curse is truly troublesome. No matter where I hide, it can find me, ignoring distance and obstacles. It's so annoying."
Lin Fan had a mournful face.
"Big brother, please come back quickly."
At this moment, that chilling aura struck again.
Lin Fan was startled and quickly dodged. But as soon as he left his original spot, the chilling aura stuck close.
"It's getting more and more difficult to deal with!"
"Judging by the growth rate of this aura's reaction, in a few more minutes, I won't be able to evade it."
"When that time comes, I will self-destruct. Whether it can harm the curse or not, I will not let it corrode my body!"
He didn't know what kind of curse this was.
If it occupied his body, the consequences, no matter what, were not what he wanted.
Rather than that, he'd rather self-destruct.
To avoid his body being occupied.
Suddenly.
The chilling aura surged violently, doubling its speed.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared, and before Lin Fan could react, it appeared above him.
When Lin Fan realized what was happening, he was only a finger's distance from the chilling aura.
"I'm finished!"
At this distance, he couldn't even self-destruct.
"Die, die, die, die, die~~~~"
Countless bizarre voices emanated from the chilling aura.
The density of these voices instilled fear, as if being stared at by countless vengeful spirits.
"My life is over!"
Lin Fan let out a sigh. His brow ached slightly, and before he could do anything, he instantly lost consciousness.
"Gagagagaga!!!!"
Lin Fan's body suddenly opened its eyes.
But these eyes lacked any spirit, filled with confusion and madness.
He raised his hand and looked around blankly.
Streams of strange light flowed over his body, then quickly disappeared, then reappeared, then disappeared again.
After dozens of repetitions, it finally stopped.
"Hahahahahahaha!!!!!"
"Heeheeheeheeheehee!!!!!"
Lin Fan uttered all sorts of strange ramblings, appearing like a madman.
Suddenly.
His head drooped, as if a puppet without support.
Then, he raised his head abruptly, his eyes emitting black gas.
After a while, the black gas in his eyes dissipated, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes.
These eyes were extremely cold, possessing a sense of divinity looking down upon all beings.
Suddenly.
He spoke, "I, have been resurrected!"
He scanned his surroundings, and his gaze finally settled on the shattered stone statue.
With a wave of his hand, the shattered stone statue automatically restored itself to its original state, as if it had never been broken.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp!
He walked to the stone statue and looked at it, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"In that battle, I died, leaving behind only this soul-possessing curse. I never expected it to be triggered countless years later, until today. It wasn't easy!"
"Alas, this world has also become dilapidated, and this body's power is limited. However, its talent is incredibly high; at only the Upper God level, it rivals a God King. It is indeed rare throughout history."
"Moreover, this body has a strange feeling, as if it's connected to something, but it might be an illusion."
"Never mind, with my abilities, a body possessed by me is fearless of anything!"
"Even if the original owner of this body planted a backup plan before his death, I am not afraid."
He reached out and stroked the divine statue.
He was once the Black Heaven God, and this statue was his physical form.
Now, having possessed the body of a living being, he had stepped out of the realm of the Black Heaven God and become a flesh-and-blood creature.
He looked at the statue, his thoughts flowing.
"Perhaps, I can refine this statue into a life-bound magic treasure."
As soon as this idea appeared, it became uncontrollable.
He completely forgot that the beings of the myriad realms had once besieged the Black Heaven God, their purpose being to refine him into a magic treasure.
The former victim had become the current perpetrator.
He didn't think much about it, and with a wave of his hand, he put away the statue.
"Let's leave this place first."
With that, he was about to leave.
As he flew upwards, a figure came into view, it was Lin Yu, who had rushed over.
All the way, Lin Yu had been very worried about Lin Fan's condition.
But halfway through, he received news of Lin Fan's death. He was shocked and quickened his pace.
Thus, the scene before them unfolded.
The two met head-on.
One was above, radiating boundless light.
The other was below, looking up to confront him, radiating boundless dark energy.
One light, one dark, both fell silent for a moment.
Lin Yu broke the silence: "You possessed him?"
Lin Yu sensed carefully. The integrated clone before him had lost contact with him, though a faint connection remained. However, it was no longer enough for him to control this integrated clone.
Furthermore, he discovered that if he didn't kill this possessed integrated clone, he wouldn't be able to resurrect Lin Fan again.
In other words, if the opponent escaped from his hands, he would permanently lose a permanent clone, and five million clones.
This was something he could not tolerate.
At this moment, the curse statue, having possessed the integrated clone, wore a cold expression.
He recognized Lin Yu's appearance as very similar to this body.
However, he didn't think much of it.
"You are his brother, aren't you?" the curse statue said.
He regarded Lin Yu and Lin Fan as brothers.
However, the other party sensed the immense power of the integrated clone and was full of confidence.
He was very fortunate that he had possessed a powerful body.
As long as he left this realm, he could quickly recover his God King peak strength. Combined with this body's talent, he would be able to ascend further, perhaps even becoming the strongest God King in all realms.
He became excited at the thought.
Lin Yu sneered, "You possessed him! Only death is your destination!"
Facing Lin Yu's threat, the curse statue chuckled, not taking it seriously.
In his opinion, this body of his was incredibly strong, and the person before him couldn't stop him.
"You are very arrogant. I, this god, will punish you, so you are left with only one outcome!"
"That is: death!"
As the words fell, he raised his palm.
Puppet threads flew from his palm, and then puppets emerged from the puppet space.
"This brother's puppet talent is very powerful, and he hid countless powerful puppets. Now, they all belong to me!"
"All puppets, kill him!"
With a slight movement of the threads in his hand, all the puppets surged towards Lin Yu.
Lin Fan had few opportunities to fight, so he spent a lot of time creating countless puppets.
The number was staggering, reaching tens of millions.
Moreover, there were not a few puppets at the level of a God Lord.
With so many puppets, of various forms and abilities, their combined attacks would make even an ordinary God King retreat.
However, Lin Yu dealt with them easily.
Lin Yu's face was as dark as if water could drip from it.
"You think that because the curse has possessed Lin Fan, you can do as you please?"
