# Chapter 1149: Seeds of the Divine
Swish!
A fiery red sacred arrow shot through the dark universe, exceptionally conspicuous. Wherever it passed, thousands upon thousands of symbols flickered and extinguished, sacred patterns interweaving.
Behind Ye Fan, the radiance of that Golden Divine Treasury blazed with great power, clanging and ringing, causing the heavens to rumble. All kinds of divine weapons and treasures flew out, crashing toward the sacred arrow.
Brilliant rays, eternal light—both sides erupted into a great decisive battle, fighting to the death within the star domain.
The several Half-Saints of Paradise had ugly expressions, because after waiting for a long time, neither the Immortal Maiden nor the mothership had appeared. Clearly they had failed to discover this place, which left them somewhat puzzled.
"Dong..."
The great bell tolled slowly. This was a terrifying energy fluctuation. Above the head of that golden mecha hung a golden sacred bell. At this moment, the bell's fluctuations were unceasing, resisting Ye Fan's various attacks.
Golden ripples were composed of thousands upon thousands of characters—these were ancient saint-level laws, transforming into various lights that flew out, densely imprinting themselves into the void of the universe.
An ordinary person would certainly be overwhelmed, finding it difficult to endure such a terrifying sacred artifact. However, Ye Fan showed no fear. He swung the Six Paths Fist, striking the great bell until it boomed, on the verge of shattering at any moment.
This was a terrifying scene. His mecha was dyed golden, behind him an immeasurable treasure world, his true form at the forefront contending for supremacy, sweeping all before him.
All kinds of divine radiance surrounded him. In this cold universe, he became the sole brilliance, appearing like a resurrected deity.
"This kid is frighteningly formidable. Could it be that ancient cultivators, when developed to the extreme, become invincible?" Several Half-Saints had to furrow their brows, shock in their hearts, recalling some records from their ancestors.
According to ancient texts of the Eternal Kingdom, among bitter cultivators there were extremely terrifying figures who had torn apart their divine mechas with bare hands, invincible within the universe.
"Chi!"
That black mecha of the Fan Clan displayed its power, holding a war spear. Black light flickered, piercing through the star domain like an ink dragon spanning hundreds of miles across the heavens, pressing toward Ye Fan's Immortal Platform.
A spark of flame erupted. Before Ye Fan's brow, a golden heavenly sword appeared. This was struck using the ancient saint-level war tool, the Yuan Emperor Dao Sword blocking this attack.
Clanging sword cries, snow-bright light cutting through the universe. The silver mecha leaped and bounded like a terrifying ghost, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Sacred artifact fluctuations destroyed large swaths of void, never leaving Ye Fan's vital points.
"Boom!"
That red mecha raised its left arm, activating a thermal weapon. A divine radiance annihilated a vast expanse of the heavens. At the same time, its left hand held a blood-colored sword attacking—a dual assault.
Behind Ye Fan, the Golden Divine Treasury opened wide. It was like a mysterious kingdom, all kinds of weapons flying out, slashing toward this great enemy.
This was only a microcosm. In truth, every instant was like this. Ye Fan alone battled five experts, various weapons and secret techniques crashing like thunder.
The originally desolate universe now boiled over. Hundreds of millions of strands of sacred radiance flowed. Any single strand, if it shot out, could destroy a realm of living beings.
This was a great battle, reaching a white-hot intensity. The five opponents were all shocked, never expecting Ye Fan to be so powerful, far exceeding their estimates. If not for their secret techniques, they would have already been defeated.
At this moment, five types of light interwove, linking together like five worlds interacting, continuously revolving, dissolving Ye Fan's attacks into nothingness.
Boom!
How powerful was Ye Fan's fist intent? He fixed his gaze on one ancient sacred mecha, cracking it twice in succession, but each time it healed itself, remaining completely intact.
This was the power of the Five Elements. Any realm could be explained by five elements, naturally containing ultimate mysteries. This was a secret the Fan Clan had excavated from ancient divine ruins.
"Heh, are you still waiting for the mothership to descend? Sorry, but I've already sealed this place. It's not just you who can imprison the void—I can too." Ye Fan sneered, disturbing their hearts.
The several men's hearts sank. They finally understood why they had waited so long without receiving aid. Their unease grew even stronger.
"The five of us together—you can never break through. We can be destroyed and reborn. Let's see how long you can fight!" A cold voice came from within one of the mechas.
"You five only know how to huddle together in passive defense. Don't you dare fight me to the death in a life-or-death battle?" Ye Fan mocked.
In truth, both sides had been fighting to the death all along. The opponents were merely advancing and retreating together, not exactly cowardly.
"At our level, your provocation is useless. Today we will grind you to death. Our mechas can heal themselves; yours will continuously wear down!" A Half-Saint responded.
"Since you're so cowardly, I'll accompany you a few rounds with my physical body." Ye Fan said, appearing in the void, standing tall.
Within the five mechas opposite, the several experts' eyes flickered. All were shocked. A Dao Cutter dared to face saintly might like this?
"If he truly dares to come out, kill him first!"
The universe boomed. Five beams of light shot over. If they struck him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Swish!
Ye Fan's physical body shook, tearing open the void, instantly appearing hundreds of miles away. All kinds of light danced, swirling around him. Golden blood energy filled the heavens.
"It's his true body! He truly dares to leave the mecha. Rare opportunity—slaughter him!" A Half-Saint grinned ferociously, transforming into a beam of light and charging over.
"Destroy his mecha! This is the price of his arrogance—seeking his own death!" Another shouted, overjoyed, extremely excited.
Four mechas pursued Ye Fan's physical body. If they caught him, his golden precious blood would change owners. One mecha charged toward his war tool.
"Clang!"
"Qing..."
Dao swords rang together. The golden bell shook greatly. The ancient tower rose and fell. Ye Fan's physical body displayed secret techniques, transforming into a beam of light to retreat. His speed was no longer below that of a saint, always maintaining a certain distance, protecting himself tightly with the Immeasurable Divine Treasury.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a terrifying fluctuation came from afar, extremely violent, accompanied by angry roars.
"Fooled! His true body never left the mecha!" That black mecha encountered great trouble. Even the war spear in its hand was broken, retreating step by step.
The four mechas turned around, all horrified. The light blue mecha was suffused with golden blood energy. Clearly Ye Fan's true body was still inside, striking at their companion.
Ye Fan not only displayed the Golden Divine Treasury but also struck with the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist intent. At this moment, his divine might reached its extreme. The black spear shaft shattered inch by inch.
Moreover, the ancient saint-level divine armor continuously cracked, destroyed beyond recognition, on the verge of collapse. This offensive was too violent!
"Five Elements Unite!"
All several men shouted. Four beams of light flew up, and from within the black mecha, a dark light also shot out, merging together, transforming into perfect Five-Colored Divine Radiance.
"Clang!"
This fused divine radiance overflowed with infinite chaotic qi, heavier than stars, pressing Ye Fan back, a look of shock appearing on his face.
Boom!
Thousands upon thousands of ancient symbols leaped out, each one profound and unfathomable. It was these runes that composed the Five-Colored Divine Radiance—a secret force of ancient deities, now successfully fused within the ancient sacred mechas.
Ye Fan clashed with them repeatedly but failed to stop them. The battered black mecha escaped by a hair's breadth. The Five Elements mechas reunited.
The five opponents' expressions were ashen. They had nearly been tricked and slaughtered just now. Their faces were all ugly, glaring angrily at this side.
Ye Fan's doppelganger returned, standing beside the light blue mecha, preparing to fight alongside it. He furrowed his brow, feeling very troubled.
"Attack!"
Finally, he resolved to launch a fierce assault. The Five-Colored Divine Radiance could heal itself, but he believed it couldn't continue indefinitely. There would always be a time of exhaustion.
Mountain-Embracing Seal!
The black great mountain was like the heavens, smashing relentlessly, causing the five mechas to constantly shake. But whenever cracks appeared, they quickly healed. Moreover, the Five-Colored Divine Radiance continuously swept out, posing a great threat to Ye Fan.
The Golden Divine Treasury unfolded, but the opposing Five Elements World was like a reincarnation. The power of five elements surged, fusing together, blocking him from attacking within.
Ye Fan was somewhat frustrated. He had exhausted all means but still couldn't break through this defense. Meanwhile, the opponents could both defend and attack, posing a terrible threat to him.
"The five strands of secret force seeds left behind by ancient deities are showing signs of revival!" The several men were delighted, their expressions icy cold as they began their counterattack.
"Boom!"
The five mechas actually began to fuse together. This was an astonishing turn of events. The Five-Colored Divine Radiance they emitted grew even more blazing, sweeping Ye Fan back several somersaults.
Each strand of Five-Colored Divine Radiance was a peerless divine sword, clanging and ringing, its power growing greater, nearly causing this expanse of heavens to collapse.
Ye Fan's expression was grave. He activated the Weapon Art several times, but almost all were dissolved. The ancient deities' secret force was very terrifying, difficult to control.
"Keep pushing!"
He refused to accept this. Once again displaying the Weapon Art, with a rumble, he finally caused the five mechas to shake violently, nearly separating. The Five-Colored Divine Radiance became somewhat disordered.
Ye Fan's eyes blazed. Seizing this rare opportunity to strike, he unleashed various wondrous techniques, attacking fiercely.
"Five Elements Unite—this is the Ultimate!"
The Ultimate gives birth to the Dao. This was a terrifying power. The several Half-Saints roared, fighting back desperately.
However, Ye Fan's Weapon Art began to display its might. After the first success, it became smoother, forcibly separating the five mechas, controlling them to crash into each other, preventing the divine radiance from uniting.
But the consumption was enormous. He could sense five special secret force seeds within the five mechas, very mysterious, carrying the aura of deities.
Ye Fan's mecha had dimmed considerably. He had expended too much dharma power. The Weapon Art's consumption in these brief moments was astonishing, truly terrifying.
"Boom!"
The Five-Colored Divine Armor collided violently. The five beams of divine radiance were completely stripped apart, finally unable to unite.
"Attack him together!"
The several Half-Saints shouted, knowing things were dire. They struck their respective divine radiances toward Ye Fan, wanting them to unite on his body and destroy him.
"Kill!"
Ye Fan also roared. There was no retreat now—only advance. He truly felt the power of ancient deities. These five mechas themselves couldn't threaten him, but the secret force within was too terrifying.
This was the final decisive battle. Whoever fell even slightly behind would face annihilation. Both sides fought to the death.
Heaven-Overturning Seal!
Ye Fan's right hand struck down, transforming into the Heavenly Emperor's precious seal, indestructible, colliding with that red mecha. A brilliant light erupted, the explosion deafening.
The red ancient sacred mecha and Ye Fan's mecha arm shattered together, turning into a sea of runes, creating large black holes.
He showed no fear. His other hand evolved the Battle Saint Art—the Eternal Universe Furnace flew out, fiery red. Now displayed with saintly means, its divine might surged, nearly turning this expanse of universe to ashes.
"Boom!"
That golden mecha exploded, creating another terrifying fluctuation.
"Clang!"
Next, an ancient mirror appeared. The Void Emperor Mirror emitted brilliant rays, like immortal light shining on that black mecha, causing it to rapidly melt, then explode with a boom.
In this brief instant, he destroyed three ancient sacred mechas. But his own mecha was nearly disintegrated, missing half its body.
"Your life is forfeit!"
From within the remaining two mechas came furious roars as they charged forward together. However, what awaited them was a self-destructive explosion. In this process, Ye Fan used the Weapon Art, causing the two to violently collide.
When the wind calmed and the waves settled, Ye Fan and his doppelganger stood in the dark universe. One azure and one white mecha were battered on the other side, not completely destroyed.
"Kid, where do you think you're going? Without your mecha, how can you fight us!" The two Half-Saints pounced over.
"Without a mecha, my physical body is enough. Watch how I clash with you head-on!" Ye Fan showed no fear, actually charging forward.
If the opponents were undamaged, he would be very wary. But now they were battered, most of their runes worn away, their saintly might extremely weak.
"Dang!"
Ye Fan activated the Weapon Art, causing them to collide once more. Sparks flew everywhere, inflicting considerable damage.
"Swish"
His doppelganger even charged close, physical body contending with the mechas. Divine power fluctuations were astonishing. The Half-Saints within the two mechas wore expressions of disbelief.
"Damn it, is this still a human physical body? It can clash head-on with ancient sacred mechas!?" They were all shaken.
"Kill him!" The two mechas moved, displaying various terrifying techniques.
However, the mechas deformed, movements sluggish. They couldn't even emit their respective divine radiances, causing them to sweat profusely.
"Kill!"
They had no choice but to activate other dao marks, wanting to crush Ye Fan. But Ye Fan's doppelganger charged close. Its physical body was already no less than a true ancient saint. With a crack, it tore off a giant arm from one mecha.
Ye Fan's true form revealed a cold smile. The two mechas were failing, many of their inscribed dao talismans destroyed. He also charged forward, engaging in physical combat.
The two Half-Saints struggled to activate their dharma power. But Ye Fan and his doppelganger were right before them, attacking fiercely. The pure physical strength was terrifying to the extreme, destroying all the vital parts of their mechas.
"So... this is a bitter cultivator? This is too terrifying!"
The two Half-Saints' faces were ashen. Ye Fan and his doppelganger jointly evolved the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. Golden fists actually shattered the two ancient sacred mechas!
"No!" The two men cried out in pain. This was like a nightmare. Ye Fan's physical body made them despair—it could break anything!
"Weren't you going to treat me as an immortal precious medicine? Weren't you going to slaughter me? In the end, it's me sending you on your way." Ye Fan shook his head.
"Don't..." The two Half-Saints screamed in terror. But before Ye Fan's golden fists, nothing could save them. With a splatter of blood, they turned into bloody mist.
Ye Fan looked at the shattered ancient sacred mechas, then at his own hands. He was somewhat unsettled. After obtaining the strongest evolution liquid and successfully breaking through, his combat power had indeed increased by a large margin.
He believed that if he gained more and stepped onto the ninth small step of Dao Cutting, he might be able to fight undamaged ancient sacred mechas with pure physical body alone—meaning he could contend with saints!
"I need the third stage and beyond of the evolution liquid..."
Mecha fragments were everywhere, gleaming with cold metallic luster. In this chaotic place, five seed-like lights flickered, flowing with the aura of deities.
"This..." Ye Fan's heart stirred.
Deep in the universe, on a massive mothership, the Immortal Maiden's expression shook violently. Looking at five soul marks disappearing on a crystal wall, she was filled with shock. Trembling, she said: "They're all dead. All killed."
