Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

Qingtan gripped the Dark Holy Scythe tightly in her small hands, quickly understanding what was happening, and said coldly:

"This is the spirit of the Dark Holy Scythe! You have some nerve, daring to secretly possess the spirit of a sacred relic. This is a grave crime of my Dark Temple, enough to strip you both of your status as Supreme Elders!"

Qingtan's pretty face was icy cold, and a murderous intent surged in her eyes as she looked at the two Supreme Elders.

A commotion also broke out in the Dark Square, and many high-ranking members of the Dark Temple showed signs of shock.

The spirit of the Dark Holy Scythe was originally stolen by the two Supreme Elders, which explains why they had previously sworn that the Dark Holy Scythe in Qing Tan's hands was incomplete.

"Hmph, who gave you the right to spout nonsense here!"

The two Supreme Elders' eyes turned cold, and with a thought, the light and shadow flashed in front of Lin Fan. Then, rainbow light surged, bringing with it an astonishing power that swept towards Lin Fan!

At the same time, the two Supreme Elders rushed towards Qingtan like ghosts, seemingly intending to capture her as a hostage.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the space in front of Qingtan distorted, and two identical figures appeared silently, blocking her and the two elders.

The two figures were exactly like Lin Fan; they were clearly two avatars of Lin Fan.

As soon as the two avatars appeared, they were met with attacks from the two Supreme Elders.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two muffled impacts rang out, and then the two Supreme Elders were blasted hundreds of meters away, spitting out blood and their faces turning even paler.

"how is this possible?"

They looked at the figure opposite them with even greater astonishment.

The onlookers in Blackstone Square also had constantly changing expressions.

Those two avatars, however, did not give them a chance to be shocked, and directly launched a counterattack against the two Supreme Elders.

Under their attack, the two Supreme Elders were forced to retreat in defeat and were rendered powerless to fight back.

On the other side, facing the attack of the scythe spirit, Lin Fan's vast Yuan Power surged, instantly condensing into a giant thunder hand, which he then unleashed with a thunderous roar!

"boom!"

Two terrifying energy palm prints collided, causing the sky to tremble.

The Black Stone Plaza below was shattered, creating terrifying cracks that spread in all directions.

Bang bang bang!

Explosions echoed through the air, and Lin Fan and the figure of light were both forced to stagger backward.

After stabilizing himself, Lin Fan did not hesitate and quickly formed profound hand seals with his hands.

"go with!"

Lin Fan gave a soft shout, and a white light seal shot out from his hand, heading straight for the scythe spirit.

Before the scythe spirit could react, the gentle, profound light seal burrowed into the scythe spirit's brow.

"Buzz!"

As the gentle, profound light shone in, the Scythe Spirit's body suddenly trembled slightly, and streaks of white light burst forth from its body.

Amidst the surging white light, black lines appeared on the chest of the Scythe Spirit.

These black streaks of light melted away at an astonishing speed under the gentle white light.

The two elders, already severely injured and pale from Lin Fan's two avatars, changed their expressions drastically upon seeing this scene.

Because those black patterns were the incantations they used to control the scythe spirit, but now that Lin Fan had forced those incantations out of the scythe spirit's body, they no longer had anything to rely on!

"Oops!"

The two looked terrified and hurriedly tried to activate the incantation.

"boom!"

"boom!"

In a moment of distraction, the two already seriously injured individuals were once again slammed into the ground by Lin Fan's two avatars.

"Crack!"

At the same time, a faint clicking sound rang out in the sky.

Those runes quickly disappeared.

The moment the incantation dissipated, the two elders completely lost control of the scythe spirit.

Lin Fan's hand seals changed, and several more light imprints landed on the scythe spirit's body. Then, his body burst out with dazzling light, and as the light condensed, it finally transformed into a black bead under the gaze of countless eyes.

Lin Fan waved his hand, drawing the black bead into his palm, and then tossed it to Qing Tan. "Qing Tan, put it into the Dark Holy Scythe, and your Dark Holy Scythe will be complete."

"Mmm," Qing Tan nodded happily. As she swung the Dark Holy Scythe in her hand, a black light burst forth. The light swept up and absorbed the black bead into the scythe.

Then, the Dark Holy Scythe began to tremble and buzz, and astonishing waves of energy erupted from it, causing the massive Dark Holy Scythe to expand even further.

The petite Qingtan, wielding a massive dark holy scythe, possessed a peculiar beauty.

At this moment, all the elders of the council in the square were deathly pale.

The eldest elder, in particular, couldn't help but tremble and staggered back a few steps.

Both of the Supreme Elders were suppressed, and the spirit of the Dark Holy Scythe was also taken away. They no longer had any confidence to compete with Lin Fan and his sister.

On Blackrock Square, the people from all sides were somewhat agitated by what they saw.

At this point, everyone knew very well that the elders' attempt to force the emperor to abdicate had completely failed!

On the altar, Qingtan gripped the Dark Holy Scythe tightly in her small hand, and with a gentle wave, a black light flashed past, and the ancestral monument in mid-air slowly dissipated.

As the ancestral tablet dissipated, the suppression of the dark ancestral symbol also completely dissipated, and the entire sky slowly turned dark.

Looking at the two old men lying on the ground like dead dogs, Qingtan's voice was icy cold.

"Two Supreme Elders, you have been hiding the Scythe Spirit. Do you now know your crime?"

Upon hearing Qingtan's icy voice, both elders trembled.

Just as the two were about to speak, they saw Lin Fan in the sky land next to Qing Tan, staring at them indifferently.

Seeing Lin Fan's avatars lurking menacingly beside them, both men completely resigned themselves to their fate.

"We were blinded by greed and made a grave mistake today. We beg Your Highness to be lenient with us!"

"Pfft!"

Upon seeing that both Supreme Elders had confessed their sins, many elders in the Elder Council immediately knelt down, their faces filled with remorse.

"Palace Master, we were coerced by the Grand Elder, which is why we acted this way. We beg you to show leniency!"

The elder's face turned ashen as he watched this scene, and his body trembled with fear.

“Palace Master, this matter is far too complicated. If everyone is severely punished, it will be very detrimental to our Dark Palace,” the two black-robed elders who had initially supported Qing Tan advised in a low voice upon seeing this scene.

Qingtan nodded slightly, then waved her small hand, and dozens of black light runes appeared, finally sweeping across the sky and appearing in front of the two Supreme Elders and many other elders. The runes were shimmering with a dense black light.

"Elders, your coup today is a capital offense, but in consideration of your service to this court, I will spare your lives!"

Qingtan stared at the group of elders, her voice cold and sharp.

"However, you may escape death, but you cannot escape punishment. This is the Dark Holy Symbol of my Dark Temple. If you wish to save your life, then consume it."

Upon hearing this, the elders' expressions changed. They knew very well that once they consumed the Dark Victory, their lives would be completely in Qing Tan's hands.

But at this point, they had no room to resist.

After a moment of internal struggle, the two Supreme Elders took the lead and consumed the Dark Holy Talisman, with the other elders following closely behind without hesitation.

In the end, everyone suddenly realized that one of the Dark Symbols was missing.

Qingtan's cold gaze fell upon the Grand Elder, and she said coldly, "The others are one thing, but this culprit deserves to die. Elders, why don't you capture him?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in Blackstone Square changed in various ways.

The Grand Elder was trembling with fear and rage.

Chapter 489 The Otherworldly Demons Attack! [Please Read On]

The coup attempt in the Dark Temple was completely suppressed without causing much of a ripple, thanks to Lin Fan's intervention and Qing Tan's final combination of kindness and coercion.

Moreover, this suppression only resulted in the loss of the Grand Elder on the higher-ups' side. It not only failed to cripple the Dark Temple, but also allowed Qing Tan to completely control all of the Dark Temple's power.

From this day forward, Qingtan will be the true master of the Dark Temple, and even the supreme empress of the entire Northern Xuan Region!

After the ceremony concluded, Qingtan and Lin Fan spent some time together before continuing with the cleanup work for the Dark Temple.

Therefore, Lin Fan also stayed in the Dark Temple for the time being.

……

Deep within the city of darkness, in a secluded bamboo grove, stands a simple bamboo house.

Lin Fan was meditating in this bamboo house, waiting for Qing Tan to finish the cleanup before they returned to the Eastern Xuan Region together.

That night, Lin Fan was meditating cross-legged when his expression suddenly changed. He stopped meditating, slipped out of the bamboo house, and looked up at the night sky.

Under the bright moon, on a bamboo tree, stood a black figure, its black eyes appearing particularly eerie in the moonlight.

"Hehe, you must be Lin Fan, the one the Four Kings Palace was talking about?"

The dark figure looked at Lin Fan, chuckled, and said.

"And who are you, this otherworldly demon?" Lin Fan asked calmly and indifferently.

The shadowy figure slightly raised his head, and in the moonlight, a face covered with demonic patterns appeared. Then he grinned, revealing gleaming white teeth that exuded a sinister aura.

"I am from the Seven Kings Palace of the Demonic Prison, and I have come here for you."

Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Lin Fan wasn't too surprised, his expression remaining calm. "You've come for me? What brings you here?"

"Hehe, of course we've come to kill you! You're at the top of the Demon Prison's kill list!" the Seven Kings Palace said with a smile.
