Chapter 1160: Facing the Ancestral Saint
“By any means necessary, at any cost, even if it’s just a corpse, he must be brought back!” This was the decision of the Heaven Paradise Fan Clan. They understood Ye Fan’s value better than anyone else.
An Indestructible Golden Body, not a descendant, with pure bloodline, was one of the strongest physiques in the universe. It could be cultivated into a peerless expert who would shake the ages, allowing the Fan Clan to rule the realm.
“We were too hasty before. We failed to discover in time that he was a first-generation Golden Body, leading to these consequences. Now we must make amends.”
Some members of the Fan Clan were eager to extract Ye Fan’s golden blood. It wasn’t simply for refinement; they wanted to pass on this bloodline to change their own clan’s physique!
The best method was naturally marriage, merging the Indestructible Golden Blood into their clan, which might even awaken the dormant Fan Heaven Divine Blood within them!
“If successful, our Fan Clan might be able to rule the Eternal Kingdom within five thousand years, becoming the number one power!”
“Indeed. If these two types of divine blood merge and mutate, perhaps a true deity could be born!”
The Fan Clan was extremely excited. The value of a first-generation Indestructible Golden Body was immeasurable. In their eyes, it surpassed even the fourth-stage Evolution Liquid. They had to firmly grasp it.
Regarding the ancient deities, they held reverence in their hearts. They were incomprehensible beings, supreme and paramount. Even now, the treasuries of the most powerful and ancient major forces in the Eternal Kingdom still preserved some divine blood. In times of crisis, it could be used to create a few supreme experts to turn the tide.
“This matter… perhaps we can only ask the Ancestral Saint to step in.”
Ye Fan’s battle stirred the winds and clouds. A storm swept through the Immortal Feather Star Sea. His name spread across this domain. Single-handedly destroying three mothership groups, his record was brilliant and utterly stunning.
A dispute arose among the direct descendants of the Qi Family. Ye Fan’s night raid on Divine Island and killing of Qi Yun touched a nerve. Some were enraged, advocating for his slaughter, while others urged restraint, advising against a hasty decision.
Further away on the Eternal Main Star, though Ye Fan had not yet arrived, he was already being coveted by some major powers. All wanted to recruit him, to obtain this sharp and fierce blade.
At this moment, the most enraged was the Cao Family. On the Eternal Main Star, they were extraordinary, ruling over a region. Ordinary people dared not provoke or offend them.
“Useless! What good are you? Three mothership groups failed, almost completely annihilated, and you still have the face to live?!” An old man was furious. Without a doubt, the Cao Family had become a laughingstock.
The Immortal Feather Star Domain was greatly shaken. Although the news hadn’t spread everywhere, some major powers had already taken notice, all watching their embarrassment.
“Just a Dao Cutter, not an Ancient Saint. So many sent out, and they all failed. What use are you? A bunch of good-for-nothings!” The old man roared, growing angrier.
The people below didn’t even dare to breathe. This ancestor was on the verge of becoming a Saint, a formidable giant in the current Cao Family. No one dared to argue.
“Are you all mute? Why isn’t anyone speaking?” The old man had a fiery temper. Seeing them silent, he became even more furious.
“Ancestor, we can only ask the Ancestral Saint to come out of seclusion. Otherwise, it’s very difficult to catch that ascetic cultivator. He has all sorts of mysterious methods. If he wants to escape, he’s hard to capture.” Someone bravely spoke these words.
On the Eternal Main Star, within a desolate and ruined wasteland, a figure appeared. Facing an ancient divine statue, he performed a grand salute and said, “An ascetic cultivator has been discovered. His bloodline is extraordinary, worthy of joining our organization, the Divine. He might become a core member in the future.”
“An Indestructible Golden Body, indeed extraordinary. It appeared over a hundred thousand years ago, once fighting until this star domain trembled. Unforgettable.” The divine statue emitted a strange fluctuation, uttering these ancient words, causing awe.
Reactions varied from all sides, undercurrents surged, but Ye Fan didn’t care. He still moved forward according to his own goals. In the past few days, he had almost traveled all over the Immortal Feather Star, seeking the ruins of predecessors and ancients.
This was a stop on the Stellar Ancient Path, part of the trial grounds. He thought former sages must have stopped here. Understanding such a peculiar kingdom was of immense benefit to an “ascetic cultivator.”
“He killed Qi Yun. We can’t just let this go. If we don’t pursue it, won’t people look down on our Qi Clan? This isn’t magnanimity; it’s cowardice!”
The Qi Family was in an uproar. The war faction wanted to act immediately, to find Ye Fan. They believed Qi Yun’s death was an insult to the family.
“He saved our clan’s Immortal Pearl. Many know this, even our rival, the Heaven Paradise, is well aware. Yet Qi Yun repaid kindness with enmity, leading a pursuit. This is nothing but a messy account. If we continue, outsiders will surely think we are unrighteous…”
Qi Kun and others were unwilling to act rashly, hoping to find a stable solution.
“There’s nothing to discuss. This man must die. Only his golden blood can wash away the shame!”
“Exactly! Since he dares to provoke, he must pay the price of death. He cannot be allowed to live!”
In the end, the war faction rolled up their sleeves and left, acting on their own, dispatching a large number of experts. The entire Immortal Feather Star Domain immediately fell into chaos.
People were not very surprised. The Qi Clan was the half-master of this ancient star. With a direct descendant killed, how could they let it go? They had to take action.
However, Ye Fan’s Source Art was unparalleled. Changing his aura and appearance, no one could detect him. He swaggered in and out of various cities, very composed.
“Can’t find him. This ascetic cultivator’s secret technique is very strange. He blends into the crowd; there’s no way to pick him out.” The Qi Family’s holy warriors frowned, gnashing their teeth.
“Go and invite the Ancestral Saint. I heard the Ancient Saint of the Fan Clan has come out of seclusion. They might be coming here for that kid. We can’t let them take him away!”
“Hmm, there’s another way. Bring out the Supreme Immortal Mirror. Even if he hides among billions of people, it can find him.”
“Right. It’s time to use this Immortal Mirror.”
The war faction of the Qi Clan was about to make a big move, vowing to find Ye Fan and take his life.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Qi Family produced a Supreme Immortal Body, stunning and unmatched, sweeping across this starry sky, undefeated through the ages. They left behind several secret treasures. Among them, an ancient mirror was not the most powerful, but its divine ability was certainly unique.
Wherever it shone, all illusions would be broken, any secret would be exposed. It was called the Supreme Immortal Mirror.
“Boom!”
A massive beam of light scattered down. Ye Fan’s soul trembled. He looked up in shock, finding a brilliant radiance falling, engulfing him.
“Such terrifying light, originating from an ancient mirror!”
Ye Fan’s heart pounded. He took out the Green Copper for defense, then moved like lightning, traveling thousands of miles in an instant, leaving that city.
However, not long after, another brilliant light scattered down, flowing with splendor, making him exposed once again.
“This kid does have some skills, but escaping the search of the Supreme Immortal Mirror is impossible.” The Immortal Feather Qi Clan members laughed, having locked onto Ye Fan.
“Boom!”
Warships roared. One mothership after another rose into the air. This planet was not large. They traversed ten thousand miles in an instant, quickly arriving at Ye Fan’s location, firing divine beams to kill him.
“Damn Qi Clan!”
Ye Fan was alarmed. Four cosmic motherships flew in. He could only flee, opening a Domain Gate, escaping towards the outer domain.
However, the Qi Family, guided by the Supreme Immortal Mirror, emitted a hazy immortal radiance, illuminating everything about him, following him into the outer domain. He couldn’t shake them off.
Ye Fan encountered a major problem in this star domain. For the first time, he felt it was so troublesome, unable to escape. The Supreme Immortal Mirror was very mysterious, able to reflect everything about him.
“The distance is too close. If I set up Emperor Wu Shi’s Heaven-Deceiving Array, they might temporarily lose perception. But as soon as I move, they’ll detect me. I need to create enough distance.”
Ye Fan traversed the heavens, and the Qi Clan members also performed space jumps, launching a relentless pursuit.
Ye Fan’s expression turned cold. He prepared to land in a meteorite starry sky and begin a counterattack. He still had some secret methods that might severely damage their motherships.
However, at that moment, a fluctuation that made his heart palpitate arrived. He knew something was wrong. An Ancient Saint had arrived!
“Not good, I’ve alarmed such a figure!”
Deep in the star domain, a large patch of dark clouds appeared. This was a magnificent spectacle, sweeping past many stars, arriving at extreme speed. A black giant hand reached forward, covering this entire starry sky.
The four motherships trembled. They were blocked!
Ye Fan’s heart chilled. He was indeed still far from an Ancient Saint. Unless he advanced another level, he was certainly no match.
The black giant hand was about to grab the four motherships. Such methods were heaven-reaching and earth-shattering.
Boom!
From another star domain, a cyan giant hand reached out, colliding heavily with the black giant hand, intercepting its path. At the same time, a great shout accompanied it: “Old ghost of the Fan Clan, how dare you act wild in my Qi Clan territory?!”
The black giant hand withdrew, then reversed to grab Ye Fan, intending to wrap him up and take him away. It was boundless, covering the starry sky.
Ye Fan’s expression changed. He entered the mech suit, letting out a clear cry. Behind him, Five-Colored Divine Radiance swept across the star domain, brilliant and dazzling. At the same time, he swung his golden fist, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist intent peerless!
A loud noise echoed. Under the starry sky, chaotic mist surged. Ye Fan tumbled several somersaults, falling into the distance.
The black giant hand, however, shook once and failed to capture him.
Everyone was shocked, especially those in the four motherships, who were dumbfounded, filled with disbelief.
“Too powerful! He can contend with an Ancient Saint!”
“An ordinary person piloting an Ancient Sacred War Tool can unleash Saintly might, but cannot truly fight like this against a Saint.”
A cyan Dao light emitted. The cyan giant hand reached out, also wanting to seize Ye Fan and bring him back to the Qi Clan.
Behind Ye Fan, the Golden Divine Treasury opened. Dao bells, divine swords, heavenly towers, precious umbrellas, and various golden weapons flew out together, flooding the front, colliding violently with the cyan giant hand.
“This kid is defying heaven! He can fight an Ancient Saint?!”
“Our Qi Clan’s ancestor has arrived, and he can still hold his ground. What kind of combat power is this?”
The Qi Clan’s army kept arriving, but when they reached this starry sky, they were all stunned. Ye Fan put on a desperate posture, able to contend with an Ancient Saint!
On the Heaven Paradise side, the black giant hand did not reach out, watching coldly from the side. A vague black shadow could be seen standing deep in the universe, strands of Dao marks interweaving into a terrifying domain.
“He… is holding off the Ancestral Saint?” Deep in the starry sky, the Fan Clan also had motherships arriving. Fan Xian felt his mouth go dry, watching this scene in disbelief.
