My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Xu Fan calmly stared at the approaching spike, getting closer and closer to his brow.

"Have you ever thought that solely relying on this supreme law to become a Saint Master is a great weakness," Xu Fan said as he looked at the spiky Saint Master.

"I've thought that as well, hence, I've never robbed a Saint-level expert before," the spiky Saint Master responded smugly.

"Indeed, a Saint Master who knows his limitations won't fail as long as he doesn't push his luck."

Xu Fan smiled faintly.

Just as the spike was about to pierce his brow, Xu Fan swapped places with the spiky Saint Master.

The roles of attacker and defender reversed, and the spike cruelly impaled the Saint Master's brow.

"Ahhh!!!"

The Saint Master screamed instantly, the power his body emitted almost collapsing the surrounding space.

Xu Fan stood outside the spiky cage, watching the Saint Master rolling on the ground in agony, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Every spike on my body adheres to the supreme law, the moment you're pierced, your soul, flesh, everything hurts," the Saint Master said while rolling on the ground.

"You can leave, I won't rob you," the Saint Master said, in pain.

"If you're not robbing me, then all right. Now, hand over everything you have!"

Give, and live. Don't give, and die."

Xu Fan waved his hand, and countless spikes appeared outside the cage again.

The countless spikes slowly approached the Saint Master, who started screaming in fear.

"No! Please don't, I'll give you everything right now!"

Five or six spatial treasures appeared, which Xu Fan swiftly collected.

"What else do you have~" Xu Fan asked, as the spikes under his control drew even closer.

"Nothing else! I swear there's nothing else!" the Saint Master replied, shaking his head.

"You're not being honest~"

Just when the spikes were about to pierce the Saint Master, two more spatial treasures materialized.

"That's more like it~" Xu Fan nodded satisfactorily, preparing to continue exploring the Divine Elephant World.

As he was about to leave, he turned back and saw the Saint Master's persistence.

Every single spike was equivalent to a Chaos divine parable and could be turned into a Primordial Treasure with refinement.

So, several hands formed from the Supreme Law began pulling out the spikes on the Saint Master's body.

Each time one was removed, the Saint Master would tremble and his face would contort in pain.

Half of the tens of thousands of spikes on his body were forcefully removed.

Xu Fan removed them evenly, the Saint Master's body now less dense than before.

"Fine, I'll let you go."

Xu Fan could feel other Saint Masters approaching.

He didn't want to get entangled in this world for too long, so he left early.

After making a complete tour of the Divine Elephant World, Xu Fan returned to the alliance formed by the Heavenly Merchant Clan.

Inside a luxurious palace, Xu Fan, the Celestial Trade Race Saint Master, the Holy Light Empire Monarch, and the Spiritual Dawn Saint Master assembled.

From their expressions alone, it was clear they were genuinely delighted at Xu Fan's arrival.

"When we first came here and saw several vacant positions for Saint Masters, we were ecstatic."

"But then we realized that claiming these vacant positions is more trouble than it's worth."

"To legitimately fill these positions, one would need to be permanently bound to the Divine Elephant World."

"So, all these years, we never used these vacant positions," the Celestial Trade Race Saint Master answered Xu Fan's question.

"Finding one or two test positions to become a Saint Master shouldn't be too hard, should it?"

"It's not hard. Some of the Chaos Great Sages in the alliance couldn't help but ponder over these vacancies. But when they were about to claim the position, they all hesitated," said the Monarch of the Holy Light Empire.

"Why?"

"Because not a single force outside of the Human Clan has ever given thought to these positions."

"When everyone avoids doing something, it's best for you to avoid it as well," laughed the Celestial Trade Race Saint Master as he raised his glass and once again welcomed Xu Fan's arrival.

Xu Fan raised his glass and drank with the others.

"Old Xu, when you first entered, I told you about the great advantage in the Divine Elephant World. Do you remember?" the Celestial Trade Race Saint Master asked mysteriously.

"What advantage?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"I paid a great price to learn a secret regarding the Divine Elephant World."

"Every time a non-bound Saint-level is vanquished in the Divine Elephant World, a great opportunity will randomly materialize somewhere in the world."

"Any lifeform that enters this opportunity can become a Saint Master."

"Therefore, I'm confident that there's a special Supreme Law in the Divine Elephant World that can specifically turn fallen Saint Masters into opportunities. If we can discover this pattern..."

"...Then our alliance can quickly unify this Divine Elephant World."

"Then, we can settle in any land of Chaos."

"Old Xu, how about it, would you like to join us?" the Celestial Trade Race Saint Master proposed.

"Old Merchant, while your invitation is tempting, I came here for other reasons, so I might not be able to help."

"But if I have the chance and discover the pattern of the Divine Elephant World, I'll let you know," Xu Fan responded regretfully.

"Such a pity~ But being able to meet Old Xu is such a joy itself."

The banquet then livened up again.

"If I'm not mistaken, Master Xu, did you come here seeking the Divine Bone and the Divine Elephant Core?"

Xu Fan, who was in the process of drinking, suddenly paused.

Seeing Xu Fan's reaction, everyone laughed.

"Not long after entering the Divine Turtle World, we learned about it, and we tried to look for it too. However, we never found any clues."

"Besides, this Chaos Divine Beast is still in its prime."

"To be honest, even if I were to deplete many lands of Chaos, this Divine Elephant could still make a mess and probably cause several more Chaos lands to fall," the Celestial Trade Race Saint Master said.

"That's unfortunate."

At this moment, Xu Fan's main objective for being here had changed.

"Inside the Divine Elephant World, the resources that can be obtained far outweigh those outside."

"Although this Divine Elephant wouldn't harm the general lands of Chaos, it would absorb the energy of those destroyed lands of Chaos where life cannot exist, to replenish the Divine Elephant World."

"Like the destroyed land of Chaos we came from; it was thoroughly drained by the Divine Elephant, resulting in fortunes scattered everywhere, enabling our alliance to quickly settle in this great world."

"If Old Xu is not in a rush, stay in this world for a million years or so. According to the Divine Elephant's route, it should pass by one or two destroyed lands of Chaos. Then, obtaining one or two top Hongmeng Treasures wouldn't be a problem," the Celestial Trade Race Saint Master advised.

"Thank you for the information," Xu Fan said as he raised his glass.

He understood that the main reason for the Celestial Trade Race Saint Master's wealth of information was to convince him to stay.
