Chapter 1208: The Golden Body’s Dominance
Deep within the great wilderness, many mountain peaks had been cleaved as if by an axe, severed at their midsections. Giant ridges had collapsed, as if smashed by an immortal hammer. The scene was one of utter devastation—withered branches, scattered leaves, and a desolate atmosphere everywhere.
On thousand-zhang sheer cliffs and strange rocks beside cliffs, specks of fresh red dotted the landscape, a mournful, brilliant light flickering. This was the blood of a sage, which had pierced through many great mountains and carved out numerous deep abysses.
Deep within the broken mountain range, patches of crimson stained the land—the bloodstains of Ancestral King Silver Moon, forming a series of terrifying, otherworldly sights.
Many people came to verify the truth. Upon seeing this ruined battlefield, they finally confirmed that a dignified ancestral king of a generation had been slaughtered by Ye Fan and the Holy Prince.
From the fallen mountains and rivers, it was clear that the great battle had been terrifying. Ancestral King Silver Moon had struggled fiercely, but in the end, he could not escape his fate—his primordial spirit had been extinguished.
What exactly did the Human Clan’s Sacred Body, Ye Fan, intend to do? This was the question on many people’s minds!
In such a situation, most would hide and avoid trouble at all costs. Yet he chose to strike out boldly and openly. Did he not know that sages from all over the world were hunting him? Was he trying to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys?
But who would back down? The Green Cauldron was of immense importance. Even if it was damaged, it would still drive many sages mad with desire!
Everyone in the world was discussing this. The ancient sages were shaken. Whether in the Eastern Wasteland, the Central Province, or the Southern Ridge, a storm of discussion raged!
Ye Fan had become a Half-Saint, sweeping through one region and able to stand alone against opponents. This truly caused a massive uproar, making all parties deeply wary.
Remember, this was the legendary Human Clan’s Sacred Body. On other ancient stars, it was also known as the Indestructible Golden Body. Its combat power was unmatched, and in the mythological era, it held great weight—able to resist even deities!
“If such a physique becomes a saint, it will absolutely be a disaster!” Many members of the Ancient Clan were uneasy.
In the ancient Fire Qilin Cave, immortal flames rose and fell, mist and haze shrouding everything in mystery. Huo Qizi stood inside the cave and said, “He became a Half-Saint before me. We must return to our ancestral star, find what our father and the past ancestors left for us. I want to attain the Dao!”
Huo Qilin’er, with her waist-length, smooth, and soft water-blue hair, was also lost in thought. Hearing this, she nodded and said, “Although this physique cannot attain the Dao, once it matures, it will still be a powerful competitor.”
Huo Qizi’s form was slender and strong, his eyes like divine lamps. “The process may be brutal, but he cannot become a Dao. In the end, he will only be a supporting role in this world, ending in a desolate finale.”
Ye Fan was only one step away from crossing the threshold of life and death, transforming into a lofty, higher existence. Once he became a saint, he would make all directions tremble in fear.
After news of this battle spread, many could no longer sit still. The Indestructible Golden Body’s blood energy was vigorous. If it truly became a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, capable of fighting gods, the ancient legends would make anyone’s scalp tingle.
“Find him as soon as possible. Don’t give him time. And we must seize the Green Cauldron!” This was the heartfelt voice of many Ancient Clan members.
Within the Jade Pool, flowers bloomed and birds sang, green grass bordered clear lakes. Beneath the ancient, gnarled Flat Peach tree, which coiled like a flood dragon, the Nine-Orifice Stone King absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, barefoot, heard everything about Ye Fan. Her eyes sparkled with colorful light as she pondered silently.
“The divine fetus, watered by sacred blood, is more spiritual than before. When it emerges one day, what kind of existence will it become? Is everything under control?”
A towering mountain reached the heavens. A figure sat cross-legged, merging with the Dao light of heaven and earth, sinking deep into the void, unfathomable.
“I want to walk a path beyond the ancestors of the Blood Phoenix Mountain. My path differs from my father’s. I must go to my clan’s ancient star and understand the causes and effects.”
Huang Xudao turned and disappeared into the depths of the ancient mountain. He lived only for the Dao, caring for nothing else. His lifelong goal was to attain the Dao and become an immortal!
Purple qi swirled, ten thousand mountains coiled like dragons, piercing the clouds. This was a Zi Mansion immortal land, full of grandeur. An ancient city hung in the air, like a divine realm.
This was the famous Zi Mansion Holy Land, known as the resting place of immortals. An old woman was whispering to a stone statue, “This generation’s Sacred Body is extraordinary. He has broken the curse and cultivated to this realm. Becoming a saint is within reach. And our sect has produced a Dao Fetus, with talent rarely seen since ancient times. After entering the Immortal Platform realm, it began to merge with the Dao. I don’t know if I should make that decision. The Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus can be ranked as the most terrifying physique in the universe. Even if there are rivals, they can only stand alongside it, not surpass it. I am thinking whether to bring this physique into the world…”
Some radical members of the Ancient Clan jumped out and said, “Kill him! We must kill him! In the past, he was hostile to us. If he grows up, there will be a great disaster.”
In the past, there was Gai Jiuyou. Now he was gone. Even if a Wei Yi had appeared, he could not hold the line alone. After all, the Green Cauldron was too important. Even the sages from beyond this star domain were tempted. This was a reasonable excuse and opportunity to eliminate the Human Clan’s Sacred Body.
“More than two years ago, he killed Huo Tan, a newly ascended ancestral king. Now, even more unscrupulous, he has slain Silver Moon. If we don’t eliminate him now, the chance will be slim in the future.”
This was a torrent sweeping across the land. Some Ancient Clan sages felt uncomfortable, a strong sense of unease. Ye Fan’s growth was too fast, even more infuriating than the invasion from the Eternal Main Star.
“A fish in the pond—don’t give it the chance to transform into a dragon. Even if it has potential, it’s unacceptable! Let it be roasted in the furnace of heaven and earth, and kill it before it leaps over the dragon gate!”
The Big Dipper Star Domain was swept by a great wave. This was a killing calamity. Even some sages from beyond this star domain were eyeing the Green Cauldron, wanting to eliminate Ye Fan.
“He belongs to our clan! No one else should compete!” The two Golden Crows were as arrogant and domineering as ever, treating Ye Fan as meat in their pot.
But people truly did not dare to offend these two Golden Crows, because rumors said that a supreme existence from the Fire Mulberry Star would cross the starry sky and appear in the Big Dipper!
This would be a great storm. The ruler of the Fire Mulberry Ancient Star would appear. If dissatisfied, he might sweep away some major powers in a fit of anger.
“What are you all waiting for? Strike down the Human Clan’s Sacred Body, seize the Green Cauldron, and together seek the opportunity to become immortals!”
An ancestral king named Chi Yun from the Blood Lightning Clan visited several major Ancient Clans, wanting to unite forces to find and kill Ye Fan.
“The path to immortality is in sight. If we want to become immortals, we must kill the Human Clan’s Sacred Body, tread on his bones to pursue our immortal path. The Green Cauldron is too important.”
Chi Yun lobbied tirelessly, gathering a group of people. He even invited some Ancient Clan experts skilled in deduction and divination, wanting to locate Ye Fan as soon as possible.
A cold wind blew. The Northern Domain was desolate, the red earth boundless, barren of grass.
A figure stood like a spear on the horizon. Ye Fan appeared, standing ten thousand li outside the ancient land of the Blood Lightning Clan.
This clan had a female Saint King, known as the Blood Lightning Queen. She was a rare expert. In the past, during the Jade Pool Assembly, she had crossed hands with the White-Robed Divine King without serious injury. She had also appeared at the Yaoguang Great Tomb and then gone into seclusion.
Ye Fan did not want to provoke the Blood Lightning Queen yet, but he was determined to kill Chi Yun. He intended to defy the world’s opinion and kill people at this critical moment.
Whoever dared to seize the cauldron, whoever wanted his life—he would take theirs. Kill to stop killing, intimidating all clans.
Having reached this realm, Ye Fan could truly be calm and composed. He could fight sages, and with the Star Gate, he could come and go freely. Even mass slaughter did not frighten him. Now, he could face all heroes with equanimity.
Chi Yun rode clouds and mist, stirring up whirlwinds of red hair, surveying the mountains and rivers as he hurried back to his clan. For some reason, a shadow of gloom rose in his heart.
Having reached the sage realm, his intuition was sharp. His judgment of life and death was very accurate. Alarmed, he felt something was wrong and turned around immediately.
But it was too late. At the end of the red earth, a figure like a god or demon appeared, a fist smashing toward the high sky.
It was a golden fist!
He immediately knew who had arrived. Only that person had this kind of golden battle qi. Now, he had come to intercept and kill him.
Chi Yun’s heart sank. He dodged quickly, but the vast fist wind and shocking battle intent swept from the end of the earth like a hurricane, shaking his entire body in pain.
Chi Yun was truly shocked. A Half-Saint, even if he could fight a sage, how strong could he be?
But the truth made him shudder. This was a junior with overwhelming strength, enough to slaughter sages. The traces of the fierce battle with Ancestral King Silver Moon in the great wilderness were fake, misleading the world. That battle was definitely not so difficult.
“Boom!”
Chi Yun fought back, slashing out a finger sword. He grunted and retreated.
The figure on the earth had blood energy soaring to the sky, pressing down on him, making his expression ugly. Ye Fan stood firmly, not moving a single step.
“Flee!”
He had only this thought. Tearing open space, he turned and ran, wanting to escape this red land, far away from this godlike man.
But with a loud crash, the void was shattered. A black great rod cut across the universe, sending him flying back.
A golden Battle Saint Ape, towering like a mountain, holding a black iron rod, stood behind him.
“Sacred Emperor…” Chi Yun screamed in terror.
For a moment, he almost mistook the monkey for the Battle Saint Emperor of the ancient era. The resemblance was too strong, exactly like that supreme existence.
Chi Yun steadied his mind, but his face turned pale. The Human Clan’s Sacred Body and the Holy Prince appeared together, attacking from front and back, blocking his escape. This was likely a deadly situation.
With a thunderous roar, Ye Fan still stood on the horizon, but he struck. His golden fist carried an invincible, self-willed fighting intent, smashing toward the sage.
“Stop! I have something to say!” Chi Yun shouted.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to take my head, seize my Green Cauldron, and seek the opportunity to become immortals with the other sages? All these days, you’ve been jumping around, very busy. You must be tired.” Ye Fan’s voice was cold and merciless.
This battle was unavoidable. Thunder and wind raged between heaven and earth. Golden lightning bolts struck down, destroying stretches of mountains and everything in the Northern Domain.
But no one noticed, and no one came to rescue him. Because Ye Fan and the Holy Prince had long set up Emperor Wu Shi’s Heaven-Deceiving Array, sealing off the universe.
“Ah…”
Chi Yun screamed. He could not escape his fate of falling. He bled on the red earth, his body shattered, exploding inch by inch under the golden fist, turning into clouds of blood mist.
“Hmm, it was indeed a trap. Someone directed him to do this. He deliberately jumped around to provoke me out.”
After Ye Fan and the Holy Prince searched Chi Yun’s memories, they discovered he was merely a pawn of someone else, meant to lure them into a snare.
But after setting up the Heaven-Deceiving Array, the plan of the big shot behind him had obviously failed. Killing him was a waste!
The two left. In the bright red sunset, they cast two long shadows, leaving behind only a ground full of broken bones.
“Kill to stop killing. If anyone dares to come after me, just wait to be beheaded!”
No one expected Ye Fan to be so dominant. In just two days, he had slain a second ancestral king.
