# Chapter 1221: Dragon Slaying
A shocking immortal radiance emerged from the world, fully releasing an undying brilliance. This was a peerless aura that could terrify even a Great Sage, shaking the past and present.
The Eastern Wasteland, Central Province, Southern Ridge, and other regions all erupted into fervor. Countless powerful experts roared—in this age without an Emperor, had a Quasi-Emperor actually appeared?!
By now, the battle had alarmed all races. News spread through Domain Gates to every corner of the world. Everyone knew that Ye Fan and the Human Demon were attacking the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
This shocking great confrontation had evolved to the point of stirring up an ancient Emperor—unfathomable, shocking the mortal world!
"Too terrifying. The ancient clans' foundations are unfathomably deep. That such a supreme figure still exists is truly astonishing."
"The path to immortality is about to open. A generation's Quasi-Emperor has lived to the present age. Who can contend? Even a Great Sage must fall at their feet. There is simply no way to resist."
The battle situation changed so quickly it was hard to believe. A generation-defying figure had emerged to turn the tide. The soaring immortal light was thick and majestic, making people want to kneel and kowtow.
"Ha ha..." Before the ruined Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, many descendants of ancient Emperors laughed, tears appearing in their eyes. At the moment of utter despair, such a turn of events had occurred!
"Human Sacred Body, you are as weak as an ant. Let's see how you survive today. The Human Demon is strong, but I don't believe you've become a Quasi-Emperor!"
"Heaven has eyes! An ancient ancestor sealed himself until now. My Ten Thousand Dragon Nest will rule the world, honored by all!"
Triumphant laughter, arrogant words, ringing with force. Many descendants of ancient Emperors cheered and shouted loudly.
They had all been in utter despair, never expecting such a change—rising from hell to heaven. The contrast was too great.
"Could it be... Father?" Qian Lun was also excited, feeling his blood vitality surge as if he had returned to his youth.
His old father was known as "Little Di Que," a peerless figure who could nearly match the most stunning divine beings.
In that era, Di Que was exceptionally brilliant. Though he failed to attain the Dao, he was considered to have divine talent matching the Battle Saint Emperor, hailed as one of the most stunning divine beings in history.
Qian Lun's father was two thousand years younger than Di Que. Though his talent was inferior, being praised as "Little Di Que" was enough to be proud of the world.
In that year's battle, Qian Lun's father was too arrogant, wanting to capture the Human Demon barehanded alone. But unexpectedly, the power of Tai Yin and Tai Yang invaded him. After the battle, he fell into slumber.
He was sealed into a divine cocoon and had never awakened.
Qian Lun's eyes burned with fervor. Naturally, he first thought of his father who had once dominated the ancient times, thinking he had made a breakthrough within the cocoon.
"Invading my clan's territory, destroying my dragon nest—no mercy! You will all die!" Qian Lun's eyes were cold, his words like ten-thousand-year ice, bone-chillingly cold.
However, to his surprise, though the Human Demon was shocked, he showed no fear. Gripping his white bone club, he stared ahead like a tiger watching its prey.
And Ye Fan was even more excessive—one could even say audacious beyond measure. He raised one foot and placed it on Lei Zhan's forehead bone, preparing to crush it.
"No, you can't kill me! My clan's Quasi-Emperor has awakened... You... should understand!" Lei Zhan screamed in terror. He had wanted to say some harsh words, but seeing Ye Fan's icy gaze, he immediately felt chilled to the bone.
"Human Sacred Body, you must understand what you're doing. Release him immediately, and your end won't be too terrible!" Qian Lun said coldly.
This was a threat. Though not harsh words, it was more lethal than anything—warning Ye Fan that if he dared act recklessly, his fate would be miserable.
"From past to present, no one has ever intimidated me!" Ye Fan's foot came down, and cracks appeared on Lei Zhan's forehead bone.
"You dare! If Lei Zhan is harmed, I'll make your life worse than death!" Qian Lun roared, using divine sound.
Everyone was stunned. How bold was the Human Sacred Body? Couldn't even a resurrected Quasi-Emperor intimidate him? He completely ignored this!
"If you kill me, you won't even die easily!" Lei Zhan shouted with all his strength, because he saw that Ye Fan's eyes were too terrifying—he was about to kill him regardless of consequences.
"Pfft!"
Ye Fan's foot came down, crushing Lei Zhan's head like a smashed watermelon—bloody and brutal. He didn't even blink.
"I hate being threatened. Besides, if I let you go, would your clan show mercy? What of a Quasi-Emperor? At worst, I die in battle here!" Ye Fan said calmly and coldly.
He wasn't nervous, quite composed, making a group of people roar in anger. Lei Zhan had been killed like this, right before their eyes!
Especially Qian Lun, whose eyes turned red. A Great Sage was not made of wood; he had human nature too. This was his most beloved grandson. With a roar that shattered mountains and rivers, he was so angry that veins bulged all over his body, wanting to tear Ye Fan into bloody pieces immediately.
"So what if it's a Quasi-Emperor? I've killed him. Let him come kill me if he can!" Ye Fan was wild and unruly.
"I'll split you alive!" Qian Lun roared to heaven and earth. The Ten Thousand Dragon Bell shook violently, immortal light shot into the sky, and heaven and earth overturned.
However, everyone felt something was wrong. Qian Lun also quickly realized, feeling uneasy. If the Quasi-Emperor had truly awakened, why hadn't he stopped all this?
With the might of an Emperor, he should have been able to break through all obstacles, reverse yin and yang, and prevent the tragedy of Lei Zhan's death.
Deep within the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, immortal light shot in all directions. The mist dispersed, revealing the truth there.
"This is..." Everyone was stunned, their faces turning pale.
There was no Quasi-Emperor at all. This was a formation, with Dao patterns flowing now. The terrifying aura was emanating from it.
"How can this be?" The crowd was disappointed. It wasn't what they had expected.
"This is... a formation inscribed by a Quasi-Emperor. It doesn't manifest normally, only activating when the ancestral land's foundation is threatened." Qian Lun said, somewhat melancholy, thinking of some anecdotes from his ancestors.
"Ha ha..." Ye Fan laughed heartily. His heart had truly sunk earlier, thinking a huge variable had appeared.
A Quasi-Emperor—that was too terrifying. Even Gai Jiuyou, with withered blood vitality and little lifespan left, having fallen from that realm, was still invincible.
One could imagine how terrifying a truly invincible Quasi-Emperor with vigorous blood vitality would be—absolutely capable of sweeping the world, a taboo existence.
"Heaven blesses my clan! This is most likely... a complete Quasi-Emperor formation!" Great Sage Qian Lun's face flushed red. He swept away his disappointment and became excited, his confidence suddenly restored.
In this long age without an Emperor, what was most terrifying in the world? There was little debate—it was Extreme Weapons and the formation diagrams of ancient Great Emperors!
Imperial weapons needed to be awakened, requiring extremely harsh conditions. Ordinary people couldn't activate them. Even a Great Sage couldn't truly control them. So-called "resurrected Imperial weapons" were relative.
But the formation diagrams of ancient Great Emperors were different. If one mistakenly entered them, it was equivalent to declaring war on an Emperor!
The prerequisite was that the formation diagram was intact, without any damage.
Because the formation diagrams of ancient Great Emperors were too heaven-defying. Over such a long time, they had all been worn away, with only fragments remaining.
A complete Quasi-Emperor formation diagram before them was undoubtedly shocking. Attacking it was equivalent to declaring war on a Quasi-Emperor—suicide!
"Retreat! All enter the ancestral land!" Great Sage Qian Lun shouted. He became more convinced that this was a complete formation diagram. His face was flushed, excited to the extreme.
With this formation diagram, anyone who attacked recklessly would be fighting a decisive battle with the Quasi-Emperor of the past!
Behind him, the royal clan's elders and a stunning woman were responsible for guiding the crowd, charging into the formation diagram.
"The ancient Emperor's daughter!" Ye Fan's eyes flickered. He was certain that was the Dragon Maiden of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, sealed in divine source and living to this age.
The Human Demon didn't stop them, because he was doing something else. His eyes blazed, his bronze skin glowed, and the green copper cauldron in his hand shone with immortal radiance, locking onto Qian Lun.
Great Sage Qian Lun's divine abilities were peerless, but even wielding the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell, he couldn't take a single step. The Quasi-Emperor formation diagram was right in front of him, but he couldn't enter.
In an instant, his face turned deathly white. He knew it was over. The Human Demon was already displeased, preparing to strike bloodily. He couldn't escape!
"Ah..."
Qian Lun was unwilling. As a generation's Great Sage, even in the age of ancient Emperors, he was a giant, honored by all. But now, locked onto as prey, it was an humiliation. He couldn't even resist.
"Ancient Emperor, revive! Divine spirit, awaken! Grant me a helping hand!" He roared madly.
All the clans in the Northern Domain heard it. People's hair stood on end. For a Great Sage to roar in such despair showed what desperate situation he had fallen into.
Purple Qi came from the east. Dense mist spread. The Ten Thousand Dragon Bell transformed into a true dragon, raising its head and roaring. It truly gained life. Under its power, Qian Lun broke free from the Human Demon's restraint. He instantly merged with the Imperial weapon, becoming one.
His true body entered the weapon, transforming into a tens of thousands of zhang long purple dragon, charging toward the Quasi-Emperor formation, trying to escape disaster.
The Human Demon finally moved. Though he acted later, he arrived first. Holding the crystal green cauldron, he shattered the void, cutting off the path ahead, blocking the Imperial weapon back.
Black and white divine power radiated from the Human Demon's body, making him look incredibly terrifying. The two intertwined, forming a Taiji, supporting the green cauldron, pressing down toward the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell!
This was the interweaving of Tai Yin force and Tai Yang force, terrifying beyond measure, unstoppable. The black and white Taiji diagram carried the fist-sized green copper cauldron, like a divine plate holding the only immortal!
Great Sage Qian Lun was horrified. His body merged with the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell, directly tearing the void, fleeing toward the outer realm.
He knew it was impossible to block the Human Demon or enter the Quasi-Emperor formation. The only way was to flee to the depths of the universe to survive.
The Human Demon was even faster. Transforming into a black and white intertwined lightning bolt, he vanished beyond the heavens with the cauldron. He had murderous intent, striking forcefully, unwilling to let the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest's giant escape.
Two figures disappeared. Ye Fan stood before the ruins, facing the crowd within the Quasi-Emperor formation, his expression cold.
Some wanted to charge out and fight him, but then retreated. They lacked that courage. The Human Demon's aura still lingered, surrounding Ye Fan, ready to descend at any moment and annihilate them all.
A cold wind blew. The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was in ruins, devastated everywhere, only the deepest part still emitting a terrifying aura, impossible to see through.
Suddenly, Ye Fan's expression froze. He smelled a refreshing fragrance and saw the True Dragon Immortality Medicine!
This ancient medicine had long become a spirit, having accompanied too many Emperors, followed ancient Great Emperors. Now it appeared in the chaotic mist.
The ancient royal clan members also turned back, looking there.
Chaotic energy was dense. There was a huge dragon nest there, built from black dragon wood, as tall as a mountain, with myriad scenes.
Within, chaotic energy surged like an ocean, vast and unfathomable, pressing down so people could barely breathe. A mysterious ancient coffin floated and sank, suppressing the myriad heavens through the ages!
And the True Dragon Immortality Medicine was as if cast from gold, dazzling and brilliant. Like a spirit, it hid there, peeping this way.
Ye Fan's mind stirred. If he could capture this immortal medicine today, it would truly be a great fortune.
Beyond the domain battlefield, the outcome was unknown. Countless powerful experts across heaven and earth were watching, so tense they forgot to breathe.
"Dao friend, please show mercy. Harmony is most precious."
From the sky came a voice, as if mediating, very familiar.
Ye Fan's expression was strange. He recognized it as Chaos Expansion Great Sage's voice. He had... come to be a peacemaker again.
"Bang"
Before the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, a corpse fell, smashing the ground into hundreds of thousands of huge cracks, spreading like a spider web.
"Great Sage!"
"Ancestor!"
Within the Quasi-Emperor formation diagram, a group of people wailed, because this was Great Sage Qian Lun's corpse. He had been slaughtered and thrown down from beyond the domain!
"Another one persuaded to death." Ye Fan shook his head and muttered to himself.
