My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

“Let her retreat. Even if we were to use the railgun now, it would only scare her. It’s pointless,” Xu Fan said dismissively, seeing no point in such actions.

Currently, Cloud Holy Demon Venerate does not know the true power of the railgun. If too many railguns are fired, she would easily find a way to deal with them.

The current situation is one of mutual unknowing. I don’t know your strengths, and you, don’t know my depth.

This state of mutual probing is exactly what Xu Fan needs.

That night, Xu Fan was in his room within the Steel Great Wall, reading up on the Saint Lion Clan.

“If we were not enemies, this Saint Lion Clan would be quite worthy of respect,” Xu Fan said as he studied the information about the Saint Lion Clan.

According to him, the Saint Lion Clan is the only Clan in the Demon World that has proposed the idea of unification.

They advocate for internal peace, external conquest, the cessation of intra-clan consumption, and the use of all resources to take over the world outside the Demon World.

“This idea isn’t bad, it’s just too naive,” Xu Fan laughed.

Such a plan should only be proposed by the most powerful royal clans within the Demon World.

He knows the history of the Demon World, where mutual killing and clan genocide are common.

Although the Human Clan also has this to some extent, it is much more peaceful compared to the Demon Clan.

“Master, Cloud Holy Demon Venerate is in the Satellite Weapon Stratosphere, looking for the Demon Suppression Star,” Pu Tao reported.

“Ha, ha, the hidden system I installed back then is finally going to be of use,” Xu Fan chuckled.

When he manufactured these Sky-based Weapon Satellites to suppress the demons, the first thing he thought of was concealment.

At this time, Cloud Holy Demon Venerate was scanning every corner of the vast sky, hundreds of miles above the earth.

“Where is that huge cannon hidden?” Cloud Holy Demon Venerate wondered as she looked at the vast starry sky.

Searching in the sky is much more difficult than on the ground.

“Even if you’re a Demon Venerate, you’ll have a hard time finding it in such a vast sky. You can search at your leisure,” Xu Fan said with a smile, as if he had Cloud Venerate completely in his grip.

“If that monstrous gun can fire four times in a row, I’d be injured. If it could fire a fifth time, then…”

In the sky, Cloud Venerate said, her face tense.

She dared not gamble with her life so recklessly.

“But I am not without means. You humans wait and see!” Declared Cloud Holy Demon Venerate, flying towards the gathering place of the demon army she led.

Not long after, a strange giant bird flew out of the Saint Lion Clan’s camp, speeding towards the Saint Lion Clan’s Holy City.

Xu Fan was in control of all these happenings.

“I can rest easy now. Since the lioness did not trespass, she will have to play by my rules in a month,” Xu Fan said with a sweet smile.

“If the Great Master were in the mundane world, he would certainly be a warlord,” Elder Zhan Ling complimented.

“It’s not as extraordinary as Elder Zhan Ling makes it out to be. Any average person could have thought of this,” Xu Fan said, sitting on top of the Steel Great Wall, gazing into the distance.

The density of spiritual Qi on the Steel Great Wall was slightly lower than before at this moment.

“Pu Tao, how much of the Abstinence Gathering Spirit Formation is completed?” Xu Fan asked inwardly.

“15% has been completed, and the rest of the Sky-based Weapon Satellites are slowly being transformed,” Pu Tao replied.

“Not bad, it’s quite fast. We’re starting to see results already,” Xu Fan said.

“Also, prepare the correlating receiver for the Abstinence Gathering Spirit Formation in advance.”

“Understood, it’s already in preparation.”

Xu Fan nodded, looking into the distance at the wilderness of the Demon World, lost in thought.

At this moment, a young man came over with a pot of tea.

“Chu Fan, why are you here? You should go back at once,” said Elder Zhan Ling with concern.

Even a bit of residual battle energy could easily claim the life of the frail Li Chufan.

“Don’t worry, Chu Fan won’t be in danger here,” said Xu Fan, calm and unruffled.

Xu Fan picked up a cup of tea brewed by Li Chufan and took a sip.

“Next time, just let Pu Tao brew some tea and bring it over,” Xu Fan kindly suggested to Li Chufan.

Zhan Ling also picked up another cup and after taking a sip, nodded and said, “your Master Ancestor is correct.”

At this time, Xu Fan was atop the Steel Great Wall, having nothing better to do. He decided to use a combined puppet, holding Po Ling, to spar with Zhan Ling.

“Great Master, is this the Immortal Tool given to you by Estemeed One Dao?” Zhan Ling asked with envy, looking at the staff in the puppet’s hand.

“Yes, but it’s a shame that no one in our sect is proficient in wielding a staff– I have to use it for the time being,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

Zhan Ling drooled at the might of Po Ling, unable to hold back his envy.

Though the staff looks ugly, its power was far superior to that of his Heavy Water Origin Blade.

The Heavy Water Origin Blade is merely a beginner level Immortal Tool, whereas Po Ling is of a much higher grade.

The contrast between the two became apparent when they were compared.

“Great Master, are you using me to test your Immortal Tool?” Zhan Ling said. He got the feeling Xu Fan was intentionally flaunting his Immortal Tool, or indirectly showing off his Dao Companion.

“Elder Zhan Ling, you’re overthinking. I just want to test the limits of this Nascent Soul Stage Puppet,” Xu Fan replied.

“And create another puppet suitable for this Immortal Tool,” Xu Fan added, as that was what he was thinking.

“Then let’s try it. If this Nascent Soul Stage Puppet is accidentally destroyed by me, Great Master, you can’t blame me,” Zhan Ling said with a smile.

“No worries, this puppet was easy to create. If it’s destroyed, I can just make another one just like it,” Xu Fan said.

After all, this puppet was modular. Even if you destroyed it, couldn’t it be rebuilt?

At this moment, Zhan Ling summoned his Heavy Water Origin Blade, which morphed into a blood light that appeared outside the Steel Great Wall.

The Nascent Soul Stage Puppet, with the Po Ling in hand, swung out instantly.

“Haha, Great Master, though you’re strong, you’re still weaker in terms of cultivation level,” Zhan Ling jovially said, feeling as if he could easily dodge the attack.

Just when Zhan Ling was about to dodge, he suddenly felt his protective Blood Sea violently shaken by an immense force.

“Bang!”

Caught off guard, Zhan Ling was naturally sent flying.

“Even a lion, when attacking a rabbit, still uses its full strength. Elder Zhan Ling, you have underestimated your opponent,” Xu Fan’s voice echoed across the sky.

The people atop the Steel Great Wall all looked at Xu Fan with admiration.

“I don’t believe that you will hit me next time!” Zhan Ling sulkily said.

Just then, the Nascent Soul Stage Puppet took another swing.

Being faced with the illusionary strikes of the Giant Staff imbued with Po Ling’s might, Zhan Ling dropped his contemptuous expression.

Then, by maintaining his spiritual power at the Nascent Soul Stage, he began his fierce battle with the puppet.

The spectacle of Blood Sea, staff shadows, and blade lights allowed the people on the Steel Great Wall to witness a true battle.

Xu Fan controlled the puppet to deliver a series of limit-pushing attacks, while Pu Tao was recording the data of every blow with precision.

In the end, Zhan Ling stopped restraining his spiritual power and made a sweeping strike with his blade, cutting the puppet into several segments.
