Chapter 578: Xu Fan Enjoys

As Xu Fan stepped into the second mirror small world and time began to accelerate, a comfortable expression appeared on his face.

“In my opinion, the most beautiful place in this world is nothing less than this,” Xu Fan felt the passage of time and suddenly experienced an unusual thrill.

It felt as if everything was a dream, where the beauty of dreams met reality.

When Xu Fan was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had once had a dream.

In that dream, time flowed like light, and in the blink of an eye, decades had passed, while his cultivation advanced like a rocket.

Now, all of this had become a reality.

As the time acceleration completed, many five elemental origins filled the mirror small world where Xu Fan was located.

A platform rose, and on it was a small cup of ten-thousand-year-old stalactite.

“Ten-thousand-year-old stalactite, not bad, they are somewhat useful,” Xu Fan said with a smile as he waved his hand to store it in his space ring and began walking toward the next mirror small world.

With quick steps and determined eyes, he was determined to traverse this secret realm and find his good brother.

In the third mirror world, while Xu Fan was enjoying himself, the time acceleration ended.

“Time accelerated by 56 years; is there a pattern to this?” Xu Fan wondered.

As usual, a platform rose, and another fierce Transformation Stage demon beast appeared, its fighting strength slightly stronger than the one Xu Fan encountered the first time.

“Does the reward get better or do the beasts become stronger the deeper I go?”

Xu Fan gently waved his hand, and hundreds of thin threads, finer than a hair, instantly wrapped around the beast’s neck.

Then, with a perfect separation.

“I’m in a hurry, so I won’t play with you,” Xu Fan said with a smile while looking at the beast that had been cleanly severed.

In the fourth mirror world, time accelerated by 60 years, and Xu Fan received a rather useless artifact.

In the fifth mirror small world, time accelerated by 63 years, and Xu Fan encountered a Void Refinement stage beast, which he swiftly slew.

In the sixth mirror small world, after 61 years of time acceleration, the reward was yet another Void Refinement stage beast.

Just when Xu Fan thought he could continue enjoying himself, in the seventh mirror world, he encountered a beast race exploring this secret realm.

“Human race, are you looking for death by entering here?” a beast king from the crocodile turtle clan said, his eyes filled with strong killing intent.

“Turtle Clan, it seems there aren’t many strong beast kings here,” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin and looking at the beast king from the crocodile turtle clan without a hint of fear.

“Human race, don’t you come over? Just die obediently!!”

The beast king of the crocodile turtle clan instantly transformed into his true form, and a Strange Force bound Xu Fan.

“Gravity techniques, interesting,” Xu Fan said as he released Wukong.

“Just what I needed for a test, and you delivered yourself right to my door.”

As Wukong emerged, he radiated the aura of a Great Ascension Master.

Spirit Breaking appeared in Wukong’s hand, and he struck the beast king of the crocodile turtle clan with a staff.

“Calm the Sea with a Stick!”

“Human race, are your eyes blind? You dare strike at the strongest defense?!”

“Looks like you’re destined to die today!” The beast king of the crocodile turtle clan wore a smug expression as he raised his turtle shell to block Wukong’s strike.

Xu Fan remained silent, simply watching the pretentious beast king with a light gaze.

As Wukong brought down the stick, the entire mirror small world seemed to tremble for a moment.

When the Calm the Sea with a Stick struck the crocodile turtle’s shell, it felt like smashing into a pile of loose sand.

The shell of the crocodile turtle clan cracked open.

With a soul-crushing impact, the blow sent the beast king’s seven souls scattering.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!” The beast king seemed to be faced with the most absurd situation in the world.

Their clan was renowned for its defense; how could a mere puppet shatter a shell that was even harder than a Daoist artifact?

While the beast king of the crocodile turtle clan was still in shock, Wukong’s second strike came down with a thunderous force, aimed directly at his head.

A hint of death surrounded the heart of the beast king of the crocodile turtle clan.

In that moment, driven by instinctive fear, he pulled his limbs and head into his shell.

“Bang!!”

The strike shattered the upper half of the crocodile turtle beast king’s shell and created a hole in the mirror world below.

“Human race, spare me, will you?” the beast king pleaded.

“Then you’d better stick your head out first. Speaking to me while tucked inside your shell is quite disrespectful,” Xu Fan replied leisurely.

“If you promise not to kill me, I’ll come out,” the beast king said, a hint of fear in his voice.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, he realized the human had no intention of letting him go.

“If you let me go, I’ll be your demon slave.”

“I, from the crocodile turtle clan, although not strong, know a lot about the affairs of the demon race and can be of great help to you,” the beast king said sincerely, making one last desperate plea.

“Forget it, I’m in a hurry, so I’ll have the mercy to give you a quick end,” Xu Fan said lightly.

Taking in a beast king linked to a top demon clan would be asking for trouble.

With another strike from Wukong, he directly obliterated the beast king’s true spirit.

Xu Fan sensed the consumption of the Wukong puppet and, feeling a bit pained, stored the body of the beast king in the Daoist artifact palace.

“If I had known the second strike would be so devastating, I wouldn’t have held back; this one took a huge toll,” Xu Fan said, feeling regret.

The three strikes Wukong had delivered consumed more energy than Xu Fan had anticipated, almost depleting the five elemental origins of Hidden Spirit Island for an entire year.

“Forget it, if the consumption is high, then so be it; it feels worth it,” Xu Fan thought.

At that moment, the mirror small world where Xu Fan was located underwent a change, and time began to flow backward, reversing a full 100 years.

“Is this my reward for defeating the demon race?!” Xu Fan said with slight annoyance.

Xu Fan immediately felt that it was not worth calling forth a team of Core Formation stage puppets to fight that beast king.

After the reversal of time finished, the mirror small world connected to many unknown mirror small worlds.

With a sour expression, Xu Fan randomly walked into the nearest one.

“I hope this time it won’t bring me any trouble,” Xu Fan thought.

In the eighth mirror small world, time accelerated for a full 80 years before it finally stopped.

“This feels familiar, this is the feeling I know.”

Xu Fan spread his arms and took a deep breath, waiting for the platform to rise so he could quickly process and move to the next mirror small world.

A Core Formation stage beast was slowly brought out by the platform.

Ten Core Formation stage puppets appeared and, with overwhelming force, swiftly killed the Core Formation stage beast.

Xu Fan didn’t even look as he collected the puppets and stepped toward the next mirror small world.

At the same time, a pair of eyes above the mirror small world curiously watched Xu Fan.

As Xu Fan stepped into the thirteenth mirror small world, time accelerated to 50 years before being halted by a powerful force that surpassed this realm.

Xu Fan looked up at the colorful clouds and countless phenomena descending from the sky, as if he had discovered a new world.

“So the system can be used like this!”
