Chapter 1514 Above the Heavens
In the courtyard, Adrian was blocking Impelli from entering the house.
Upon seeing the Emperor emerge, he forgot all about arguing and came forward to greet him.
"Where are you going? I'll give you a ride..."
Antonio and Chitose ignored him.
Lin Fan stopped in his tracks.
"Take them with you."
Everyone turned around.
"Consider it a testament," Lin Fan said calmly.
The burial of Anniemo's Burning Beast is no small matter.
They could do it quietly, without expecting anything in return, but they still needed to let the Annie Demon know.
Although Adrian is a villain, he is very shrewd.
Although Imperio abandoned his past, he prioritized the interests of the Annimo, and his character was still considered upright.
With these two people watching over things, there's no way that rumors of them embezzling and burning the beast's corpse would spread later.
"Whatever you want." Chisui turned her head back, her little paws stepping on Antonio's arm to urge him on.
Antonio had intended to bring the other two along, but seeing Qian Sui's reaction, he had no choice but to turn to Lan Bingru.
“Little Blue, come with me,” he tossed a broadsword and leaped onto it. “Honey, thank you for your hard work with them.”
Neither Adrian nor Impellio had ever seen such a flying device before, and out of curiosity, they forgot to ask about its origins.
Lan Bingru, supported by Antonio's arm which he had deliberately draped behind his back, stepped onto the flying sword.
"Alright, alright!" Antonio reassured Chisui, then turned to Lin Fan and said, "It can't wait any longer, I'll go first."
After saying that, the flying sword soared upwards and quickly became a black dot.
"That is……"
"you……"
Impelli and Adrian spoke in unison, then stopped abruptly.
"Never seen this before, have you?" Lin Fan really didn't want to tarnish the flying sword, so after picking and choosing, he reluctantly threw out the flying leaf he had specially crafted. "Humans are far more powerful than you can imagine."
It can only be said that the Annimo ancestor had foresight and acted early and ruthlessly, nipping human superhumans in the bud. Otherwise, who knows who would be controlling whom in the Annimo world now.
At Lin Fan's signal, the two stepped onto the suspended flying leaves.
Impelio was alright; after all, he was a mech warrior, and he quickly found his balance after getting in.
Adrian was far from it. He had always been pampered and hadn't had many opportunities to practice his balance and flight. Even though the width was enough for him to stand firmly, he couldn't help but sway when he saw the surrounding area suspended in mid-air.
In the end, he had no choice but to grab onto Impelio in front of him to regain his balance.
"Don't move!" he said angrily.
Impelli ignored him and continued to move back: "We have to make room for Miss Lin..."
"No need, just hold your ground. Let's go." Lin Fan waved his hand, and the flying leaf soared into the air, quickly flying forward.
Adrian jerked backward, clinging tightly to Impelli. Before his heart could calm down, he saw Lin Fan walking alongside them.
"You...you don't need to use a vehicle?" He was so surprised his voice cracked. "You can just fly?"
The transformation of a human into a mecha and the ability to fly through the air are no longer considered particularly impressive.
Adrian glanced at Lin Fan's back; he didn't have wings...
Lin Fan added a windproof shield to himself, and not a single strand of his hair was messed up. He was clearly trying to intimidate the two people, especially Impelio.
"Never seen it before?" She gave him a dismissive look, as if he were an ant. "Clearly, your understanding is far too shallow."
That one glance made Adrian feel as if he saw the resurrection of the Beast God, the throne high in the heavens, and the earth-shattering power, causing his heart to pound wildly.
I wish I could kneel down and tear out my heart, spill my liver and brains, and offer up my loyalty...
It wasn't until the strong wind made his eyes sting and he blinked that he realized Lin Fan had been facing away from him the whole time. Everything that had just happened seemed like a hallucination.
Humans...can they really be this terrifying?
Adrian swallowed hard, not daring to look in Lin Fan's direction anymore, and fell into deep thought as he stared at Impelli's retreating figure.
Lin Fan flew quite fast, intending to show off, and also to give the two who had never flown at high altitudes a run for their money. Fortunately, Crystal City didn't have any strange and unusual creatures flying in the air from time to time, and there was no air ban. They flew very high, all the way to the top of Beast God Mountain, without anyone noticing them.
Adrian was stunned until Impelio pulled the flying leaf away, bringing him back to his senses.
When I saw Qian Sui again, my first thought wasn't about the Burning Realm Beast, but rather the details of its interactions with Lin Fan and the others.
No wonder I felt that the relationship between the two parties was not like the usual superior-subordinate or subordinate relationship—both sides had a very high tolerance for each other, and within certain limits, they unconditionally indulged each other's decisions.
He initially thought that their attitude stemmed from their ignorance of just how powerful the Burning Beast truly was.
Now it seems they all knew, but they had simply been habitually projecting their ordinary human attributes onto the situation and had greatly underestimated Lin Fan and his group's abilities.
From the moment they were restricted by the restraint rings yet still able to transform into mechs, he should have known that their abilities far exceeded Anniemo's imagination.
Advanced civilization technology...
Adrian smiled bitterly to himself.
They say they're here for tourism, but I'm afraid they're not really...
Antonio, meaning "a thousand years old," landed at the top of the highest tower of the temple.
The numerous facets of the crystal below reflected the sunlight, shimmering with dazzling light, as if setting the stage for the funeral of the Burning Beast.
Lan Bingru pulled Antonio along, and it was fine as long as she didn't look down.
Adrian, who was standing so high for the first time, finally overcame the slipping and, with Lan Bingru's kind explanation, learned the purpose of his trip.
"Buried in the Earth's core?"
One unexpected thing after another brought his usually quick-witted mind to a standstill.
"How do I do it?" Impelio asked, frowning.
How could she know!
"Just look." Lan Bingru replied coldly, then looked at Qian Sui.
Chisui was already standing at the very top of the tower.
With a single opening of its small mouth, a massive corpse of the Burning Beast, enveloped in blue-green liquid, appeared above the group.
Beside him, Lin Fan, who had been standing in mid-air, flipped his hands and lifted them upwards.
A large amount of shimmering blue energy flowed into the blue-green solution from the palm of his hand like fine threads, quickly wrapping around the body of the Burning Beast, rotating and covering it until it was completely enveloped.
The solution that Lan Bingru managed to squeeze out after several days of effort poured down, instantly soaking the temple roof like rain.
"Is that what you're planning?" Antonio murmured, rubbing his chin.
"What's going on?" Adrian asked Impelio, who was standing next to him, clutching his wildly beating heart.
Little did Impelio know, his lips were pressed tightly together, his gaze shifting back and forth between the water sphere enveloped in shimmering blue and Lin Fan.
The Burning Beast has been dead for many years, and its corpse cannot be restored to its original state like a living creature.
After removing the mixed liquid, Lin Fan could only slightly repair the wounds on the Burning Beast's body—using spiritual power to transform the appearance and make the damage seem to disappear.
As the wispy spiritual energy was gradually peeled away, the perfectly preserved Burning Beast appeared before everyone.
The silvery-white scales gleamed with a cold, metallic luster, each one resembling forged steel.
His limbs were thick and powerful, with muscles bulging under his skin, as if each step he took had the power to tear the earth apart.
His amber eyes were bright and clear, as if gazing at the sun above, reflecting a sharp, deep blue light.
Before the closed, gigantic jaws, sharp fangs gleamed coldly, as if they could swallow the sun in the sky with a single gulp.
Only the wings on its back remained, stark white bone wings, telling the story of the despair it had once endured.
“So that’s what the Burning Beast looks like…” Adrian murmured, his eyes fixed on it.
“Your Majesty…” Lin Fan explained why the wings hadn’t been repaired, “because there was absolutely no reference material. I couldn’t imagine what the wings originally looked like, and I felt that their original appearance shouldn’t be changed. If you wish…”
“That’s fine,” Chitose gazed deeply at the companion she had longed for but had missed, “That’s good enough. I’ll have to trouble you to help me send it into the Earth’s core.”
Lin Fan nodded.
"It is my duty."
