Chapter 1093: Forcing the Heavenly Maiden to Submit
The Human Sacred Body chased down the Golden Clan’s Heavenly Maiden, unleashing various great arts in succession, beating the ancient divine maiden until she was disheveled and miserable, her crystalline hair scattered, her divine skin and jade-like body nearly fully exposed.
Ye Fan pursued all the way, having fought to this point, he naturally wanted to consolidate his gains, intending to capture and kill the Golden Princess. He had to obtain the Golden Divine Treasury Art.
The Golden Clan’s Heavenly Maiden had never experienced such a thing since birth. Today, she was being hunted down, drenched in fragrant sweat, beaten until she was almost completely naked, grinding her silver teeth in fury.
“Swish!”
The three thousand six hundredth killing strike came at her. This divine art was tricky and bizarre—a ripple of golden halos turned into waves, appearing soft yet indestructible, penetrating every opening.
“Puff”
The single golden silk divine garment on her body shattered, leaving her jade-white form mostly exposed. At this moment, she truly went mad. The bastard behind her was definitely doing it on purpose, tormenting her nerves.
In years past, she was like a bright moon, shining over the ancient times. Who could look up to her? Peerless grace, standing alone above the clouds. Now, she had fallen to such a state.
The Golden Divine Maiden grew ruthless, turning back to fight again, but in the end, she was no match. Her crystalline, jade-white body was covered in wounds, her magical power nearly exhausted, forcing her to retreat once more.
“Human Sacred Body, sooner or later I’ll skin you alive!” The Golden Clan’s Heavenly Maiden bit her bright red lips with her teeth, activating a mysterious ancient array platform for the eighth time, trying to teleport through the void and escape.
Unfortunately, Ye Fan gave her no chance. The Stride Art was unmatched in the world, following her like a shadow. As his golden fist shot out, wind and thunder roared, lightning intertwined, and both the array platform and weapons turned to dust.
The Golden Princess was hunted with no way to heaven and no door to earth, nearly going mad. Because the clothes on her body were truly almost gone, leaving only a snow-white back as she fled ahead.
Each time, Ye Fan cut off her path ahead, forcing her back into this desolate wilderness. He was determined to suppress her and force her to hand over the Golden Divine Treasury, that invincible wondrous art.
In the distance, people were dumbfounded, especially the ancient clans. Some kept scratching their heads, wondering if this was a dream, unable to believe it was real.
A royal clan’s Heavenly Maiden was being utterly defeated, nearly running naked. This was too surreal. Many couldn’t help swallowing their saliva.
Unfortunately, people couldn’t see clearly. The Golden Clan’s Heavenly Maiden had wondrous arts shielding her, blocking their view, and her speed was too fast for most to follow.
Even so, many saw a white figure in battle, then fleeing in defeat, and couldn’t help feeling parched.
“Where do you think you’re going? Hand over the divine art, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll send you to meet the Ancient Emperor!” Ye Fan shouted.
The Golden Clan’s Princess was so angry her lungs ached. Fighting naked was like a myth—she had never imagined such a day would come.
“Bastard, one day you’ll fall into my hands!” The Golden Clan’s Heavenly Maiden trembled with rage. She had already used a sacred artifact, but her opponent had one too, and she nearly suffered an even greater loss.
Her body seemed forged from moonlight, white and lustrous, using order divine principles to form a skirt covering her vital parts, as her golden silk divine garment had turned to ash.
But she knew it was useless. For someone with Source Heaven Eyes like him, she was as good as naked, with no secrets left. This was truly an infuriating battle.
She wished she had the Golden Mace in hand, to blast this bastard to ash with one strike. She had never met anyone so hateful, forcing her to fight naked.
“Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Don’t tempt me—I’m not falling for your tricks. If you want to live, it’s simple: teach me the Golden Divine Treasury, or I’ll bury you here.” Ye Fan’s expression was solemn and dignified.
Acting!
The Golden Princess wanted to stomp his face with her jade foot, curse him a hundred times, trample him ten thousand times, and turn him into a pig head!
Because the slight curl of Ye Fan’s lips revealed his thoughts. In her eyes, this bastard was definitely doing it on purpose.
“Ah… sooner or later I’ll grind your cheap bones to dust!” The Golden Princess’s ivory-like crystalline body spasmed in fury.
“Boom!”
But Ye Fan’s attacks were truly ferocious. Killing strikes came without end, a battle that shocked gods and ghosts. The gale swept past, raising goosebumps on her jade body, her pores feeling icy.
Though his strikes were merciless, his face wore a bright smile, an unchanging expression that the Golden Princess found most hateful.
Everyone was stunned. Some ancient clan members went to rescue her, but Ye Fan killed them all, to no effect.
More chose to watch coldly from the sidelines.
“This…”
Many were speechless. The Human Sacred Body was too unscrupulous—chasing an ancient imperial princess until she fled with her rear exposed. This was truly a bit wicked and foul.
How could the Golden Clan’s Heavenly Maiden swallow this? It was a lifelong grudge. At this moment, she didn’t want to kill Ye Fan anymore—she wanted to capture this scoundrel and torment him for life.
“Killing you won’t vent the fury in my heart!”
The Golden Clan’s Heavenly Maiden was so angry her golden hair stood on end, her beautiful eyes wide, killing intent soaring to the nine heavens, spreading across the wilderness, making many shiver uncontrollably.
“Then I’ll kill you instead!”
Ye Fan’s Battle Saint Art evolved to its peak. A series of heaven-defying killing strikes were unleashed in succession. At his fingertips, the Eternal Universe Furnace first flew out, flames blazing ten thousand feet, blasting the Golden Princess sideways.
Then, his hands moved, forming a Void Mirror, shining an immortal light that struck the royal clan’s Heavenly Maiden, making her spit blood.
Next, his hands traced again, transforming into a supremely sharp Supreme Emperor Sword, a dragon-shaped immortal sword suppressing past, present, and future, nearly splitting the Golden Princess in two.
The royal clan’s Heavenly Maiden fell into a life-and-death crisis, fighting defensively, her whole body exposed, white light dazzling. She was so angry she nearly fainted. This was a battle of blood and tears. For the first time in her life, she regretted helping Li Wentian. If she had known, she would never have provoked this bastard before her.
Ye Fan fought with ease. The weapons of ancient great emperors were successively manifested, supremely powerful, suppressing everything.
The Golden Princess was in a panic. She sensed something terrible—if this continued, she would surely be captured alive, and then she would likely wish she were dead.
Ye Fan naturally showed no mercy. This battle was also a deterrent, showing all sides his resolve. If he could kill an ancient imperial princess until she fled naked, what wouldn’t he dare to do?
The Golden Princess had come with her followers to seek him out, aiding Li Wentian. Now, this battle was Ye Fan’s counterattack and punishment—killing her until she lost her battle garments, nearly bare.
“Boom!”
Finally, the Golden Divine Treasury appeared again. Various golden weapons materialized, emitting radiant mists and auspicious lights, a brilliant world.
The royal clan’s Heavenly Maiden stood before this divine treasury, facing Ye Fan, transmitting with divine sense. She was forced to compromise. Dying in defeat was one thing, but if the battle continued and she ended up naked before countless cultivators, she would rather die.
She was the daughter of an ancient emperor, hailed as a heavenly prodigy and divine maiden, famous throughout the ancient times. She couldn’t afford that disgrace. At this moment, her slender, jade body shimmered with light, grinding her silver teeth as she negotiated, her peerless grace covered in frost.
Ye Fan estimated the time. Reinforcements would likely arrive soon. Since the royal clan’s Heavenly Maiden couldn’t win and no one could rescue her, someone had probably gone to fetch an ancestral king.
In a short time, it was impossible for him to destroy an ancient imperial princess. If the offspring of an ancient emperor fought desperately, they could hold out for a while.
He had fought this ancient imperial princess until she was stripped of her clothes—perhaps the only way to force her submission quickly. Now, it had indeed worked. The Golden Clan’s Heavenly Maiden had nearly ground her teeth to dust.
Ye Fan didn’t dare delay. He demanded the Golden Divine Treasury secret art, carving the dao marks, and manifested the same divine treasury, opening a golden world of dao weapons.
Golden ancient bells, dao swords, sacred pagodas, heavenly blades… divine radiance dazzling, rising and falling, a splendid scene.
In truth, Ye Fan also wanted to negotiate for a sacred weapon, but the Golden Princess was furious, threatening mutual destruction, and only threw him an ancient artifact of half-saint rank.
“Princess, to be honest, my admiration for you flows like a mighty river. How about we form an alliance?” Ye Fan said.
“Oh, I’d love to!” The Golden Princess ground her teeth, her golden eyes flashing divine light, her delicate fists trembling slightly as she held back from charging at him.
“You and I truly hit it off at first sight. We’ll definitely cooperate in the future. This time was too rushed—next time, I’ll invite the princess for Enlightenment Tea.” Ye Fan prepared to retreat.
Additionally, Black Emperor was transmitting from afar, reminding him it was time to go, because a saint-rank ancient king would likely arrive soon.
“By the way, the princess has been very loyal to me. Here’s a divine silk jade garment as a small token of respect.” Ye Fan placed a precious garment in the void and decisively withdrew.
The Golden Princess watched his figure disappear, so angry she nearly shattered heaven and earth. She struck the divine silk jade garment, which had little value, into dust with one palm.
“Human Sacred Body, I swear I won’t kill you, but pray you never fall into my hands. Ah…”
Not long after Ye Fan and the others vanished, a void gate opened, and a saint-rank ancient king appeared, his divine might sweeping across ten thousand mountains, his cold eyes like lightning, scanning the eight directions.
“Princess, are you unharmed?”
“I’m fine!”
The Golden Princess directly teleported through the void and left. She couldn’t bear to stay in this place a moment longer. Sacred lands, great tombs—she abandoned them all.
The ancient ancestral king’s eyes flickered, fixing on the great tomb as if about to strike, but suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and immediately tore open the void, leaving this place.
“What did you say? The Human Sacred Body has really returned, killing the ancient imperial clan’s Heavenly Maiden until she was nearly naked and fleeing in defeat?”
“It really is him, reappearing in the world!”
“The Golden Clan’s Heavenly Maiden probably wants to eat him alive, haha…”
When this battle spread, people were stunned, turning into a great uproar that spread across the world. Ye Fan became the focus of heated discussion.
“Boom!”
With a loud crash, the ancient site of Yaoguang split open a few days later, revealing a massive abyss, emitting wisps of immortal qi, filling the sky with radiant light.
But everyone who came here was horrified. No one dared approach. It was like facing an ancient great emperor. Even Dao Cutters trembled, uncontrollably wanting to kneel.
Ye Fan stood in the distance, not approaching, his heart trembling. He felt as if something was calling to him, connected to him.
“I don’t know how many saints have come, but this place seems like it could shatter the heavens. This is definitely the aura of an ancient great emperor!” Black Emperor asserted with certainty. (To be continued)
