Chapter 1335: The Cauldron Wall’s Spirit First Appears
This palpitation was so intense that the golden sacred blood boiled, burning fiercely outside his body, incinerating the terrifying red hairs on his arm.
Ye Fan’s heart could not calm down. The universe was vast, the ancient path distant, and on this road, the footsteps of an Origin Heavenly Master had also been left behind?
“Kill!” A Saint King charged over, a massive bell suspended above his head, emitting a booming sound. The bell waves were like a tsunami, engulfing Ye Fan.
Now was naturally not the time to be dazed. In this battle, heaven and earth shattered. Ye Fan’s black pupils were sharp, and he raised his golden fist to strike. His battle intent suppressed the heavens, and golden cracks spread around him.
A shocking slaughter, a peerless duel.
The great bell boomed, its waves lingering, as if crossing through the ages, bringing the divine might of that one whose veins once flowed with the Heaven-Dominating Bloodline. All living things feared it.
The several fragments of the Overlord Bell embedded in the bell’s body emitted rays of divine radiance, an unparalleled domineering aura, each one seeming capable of tearing apart sun, moon, and stars.
Every time Ye Fan swung his golden fist, these fragments would glow, releasing an undying, tyrannical force. That aura surged and rolled, shaking the past and present.
This was enough to tear apart the physical body of a Saint King!
Ye Fan’s physique was strong enough, and above his head, the Primordial Qi Cauldron floated, emitting various divine phenomena to resist, daring to clash head-on with the broken bell.
Suddenly, a whistling sound rang out. On this ancient star, thousands of mountains and ravines trembled, many ancient lands directly split open. The sky was a vast, boundless expanse, filled with an incomparably powerful wild and desolate aura.
Inside the cauldron’s mouth was a chaos, deep and unfathomable, impossible to see through or penetrate. At this moment, a Kunpeng surged up from within, spreading its wings to strike the heavens, opposing the Overlord Bell.
This was a divine ability, startling the other experts of the Cang Clan, who trembled in fear, nearly collapsing to the ground.
This was an image on the cauldron wall, penetrating through the wall, displaying astonishing power. Under Ye Fan’s urging, the Kunpeng seemed to come to life, gaining vitality.
“This... is indeed the Primordial Qi Cauldron.” This Saint King cried out loudly.
The Kunpeng was a legendary immortal spirit, never seen in the mortal world. Only its impure-blooded descendants, such as the Golden Winged Great Peng, existed among men, and even these descendants were powerful and terrifying enough.
Now, within the cauldron’s chaos, a giant spirit transformed from fish to Peng. Its divine wings spread for three thousand li, soaring upward, shattering the sky, as if it would sever the vast heavens themselves.
It pounced on the Overlord Bell, extremely fierce and savage, its attacks terrifying and unparalleled.
“Clang...”
The great bell boomed. This ferocious bird charged against the heavens, continuously clashing head-on. If its true body existed, it would absolutely surpass many species since ancient times.
The Saint King of the Cang Clan was alarmed. The laws of this cauldron had only just appeared, yet they were already this powerful. The combat strength of this ancient bird surpassed many sages!
If Ye Fan broke through, this cauldron would also evolve along the path, eventually becoming a higher-grade weapon. This ancient bird would certainly become even more ferocious and violent.
If that day truly came, and the Primordial Qi Cauldron became an Imperial Artifact, would the Kunpeng manifest its true form? Just thinking about it was terrifying. The Cang Clan Saint King shuddered.
The Peng cried out to the sky, heaven and earth shattering.
This ferocious bird spread its wings for tens of thousands of li, as if about to sever the nine heavens. Its golden giant wings, like broadswords, struck the Overlord Bell, making it boom deafeningly.
The Saint King controlling the various forbidden formations felt a chill in his heart. While activating the killing formations, he also came to rescue and resist.
“Clang...”
The Kunpeng spanned the sky. Its huge claws, as if cast from gold, grabbed the Overlord Bell, trying to tear it apart. The bell waves were unceasing, surging for hundreds of thousands of li.
This battle shook the entire ancient star. The Cang Clan was the greatest power here, unchallenged for over a hundred thousand years, but now such a great crisis had occurred.
Many people looked towards this direction, their hearts all pounding with fear.
Crack!
The great bell was torn off a piece by this ancient bird that did not exist in the human world, becoming somewhat damaged, shocking everyone. Infinite bell waves spread, the heavens shattered inch by inch, and mountains and rivers without formation protection all collapsed.
“Kill...”
The two Saint Kings of the Cang Clan roared. The killing formations and the Overlord Bell moved together to resist Ye Fan. They had not expected the Sacred Body of this generation to be so powerful, sending chills down their spines.
Leaving aside other things, just this cauldron alone exceeded their expectations.
Beneath Ye Fan’s feet, Source Heaven patterns continuously emerged. The divine formations he had laid down earlier interwove here, responding to him, changing the mountains and rivers, drawing upon the sun, moon, and stars. Divine radiance was vast, pouring down from beyond the heavens.
He used the Source Heaven patterns to counter the various forbidden great formations of the Cang Clan. At this moment, the cauldron above his head shook again. An ancient primordial man on the cauldron wall stepped out, walking from the chaotic mist.
The ancient primordial man was a peerless sage, clashing head-on with the Overlord Bell. His physical body was terrifyingly strong, and from between his brows shot out chaotic sword qi, its divine might unstoppable.
The Overlord Bell rang. Every chaotic sword qi connected heaven and earth, striking the bell with a rumbling sound, shaking it violently. The sword qi was continuous, even blocking the bell waves from spreading.
Ye Fan fought against two Saint Kings, holding the upper hand without pressure. What he needed to be wary of were the Overlord Bell fragments, and he was more worried about the calamity of the Origin Heavenly Master befalling him.
Therefore, while using his Source Art, he had to divide his attention, fearing that some ominous event would occur at this critical moment.
“Boom!”
A deafening sound came from underground. A series of ancient patterns interwove and surged upward. Both Ye Fan’s Source formations and the Cang Clan’s forbidden formations all disintegrated.
This was a dazzling light, accompanied by the trembling of dragon veins and the falling of vast starlight from the universe, like thousands of silver waterfalls, a very spectacular sight.
Ye Fan’s expression changed immediately. This was definitely Source Heaven patterns, with a mastery surpassing his own. They changed not only the mountains and rivers but could also borrow the power of the starry river.
He had long known that the Origin Heavenly Master was not the end. When he and the Fifth Generation Ancestor jointly suppressed the Divine Spirit Valley in the Northern Domain, the old man had told him these things.
And the stunning performance of the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master Ancestor at that time also proved this. Lost for ten thousand years, covered in red hair, after waking up, he alone could suppress the Ancestral King of the ancient clan!
There were actually traces of the Origin Heavenly Master lineage here, buried deep underground. The patterns revived, the light of the stars and moon fell, the earth’s dragon energy steamed, and heaven and earth were in harmony.
Soaring dragons rose together, the sun and moon shook. The bright starlight and the dense dragon energy blended together, making this landscape strange and terrifying.
“Ah...” The Saint King controlling the forbidden formation cried out. He was blasted away, severely injured, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
“Clang...”
The Overlord Bell rang slowly. It was also attacked. The Saint King beneath the bell changed color and retreated violently, using the giant bell to block. Because that place was the exit of the mysterious underground force, and he bore the brunt of it.
Ye Fan also recalled the Primordial Qi Cauldron to protect himself, quickly rushing into the distance. He found that everything was caused by his use of Source Art.
“There is an ancient Source Heaven formation underground. From what era was it built?” He was very surprised. The Cang Clan had lived here for over a hundred thousand years. How could they allow someone to set up a formation underground?
In the Eastern Wasteland, the era of the First Generation Ancestor of the Origin Heavenly Master lineage was not necessarily this long ago. Who had set this up?
“Kill!”
At this moment, Ye Fan did not hesitate. Taking this opportunity, he charged into the high sky to kill his opponent!
The underground patterns were extremely terrifying, destroying all the forbidden formations deep within the Cang Clan’s ancient land. It was a terrifying crushing force, sweeping away everything in its path.
The patterns interwove, spreading to every corner. The two Saint Kings roared in fury. This was the painstaking effort of many generations, consuming countless divine materials to set up the great formations, the crystallization of their blood and sweat.
But in an instant, it was all gone. Especially their mountain-guarding ancient formation, which was disintegrating, making their hearts bleed.
This was a peak Great Sage-level formation, but part of its patterns had been worn away by time. Reviving it required gradual activation. The two Saint Kings were full of confidence, wanting to trap Ye Fan with it and grind him down, but now it exploded. The underground patterns spread up, destroying it completely.
Ye Fan shook his head. He had long used his unparalleled Source Art to detect that there were terrifying arrangements here. If the Great Sage formation had not been destroyed, he would not have set foot in this dangerous place.
“Ah...”
A miserable cry. The Saint King who controlled the formation, now deprived of its protection, faced Ye Fan directly and suffered the most terrifying combat.
Pfft!
Ye Fan evolved the Battle Saint Art. The Supreme Emperor Sword appeared, cutting this man in half at the waist. Blood rain flew everywhere. The Dao sword, like a great dragon spanning the sky, was peerlessly sharp. Its dragon head was held high, as if it could cut through all the heavens and myriad worlds.
Ye Fan stood holding the sword. The second strike fell, destroying his physical body, leaving only a divine soul, which he immediately captured.
“You...” The other Saint King was both shocked and enraged, struggling to rescue him. Being defeated by the Sacred Body and having the ancient land breached was hard for him to accept.
“Clang!”
Ye Fan shook the cauldron, crashing it into the Overlord Bell. The sound was like a flood rushing past, vast and boundless, making ears ring.
This man used the Overlord Bell fragments to resist with all his might, but he could not change anything. The great bell suddenly cracked on its own. Several fragments shone brightly and flew towards the outer realms.
“Eh...” Ye Fan was startled. He used the Primordial Qi Cauldron to intercept, but failed.
Several fragments of the Overlord Bell had autonomously revived. Inside them was an undying law force, emitting faint traces of Imperial might, disappearing into the heavens.
“Pfft!”
This Saint King was shattered by the Primordial Qi Cauldron. His physical body was destroyed, and his divine soul escaped, trying to flee, but was instantly suppressed by the cauldron, unable to move.
The battle ended. The Cang Clan had become a ruined land: broken walls, collapsed peaks, almost leveled to the ground. If not for the protection of those formations, this place would have been reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind.
When Ye Fan stopped his Source Art attacks, the underground Source formation immediately retracted, not continuing to spread.
The other members of the Cang Clan had all fled. Even the two Saint Kings were no match, so how could they dare to fight? They were simply not on the same level. And Ye Fan did not want to massacre indiscriminately, so he did not pursue them.
In the ruins, Ye Fan stood on the rubble, not immediately exploring the underground Source formation. Instead, he examined the divine souls of the two Saint Kings. He wanted to understand the secrets of the past and also see what was special about the Overlord Body.
“The Sacred Body’s home star has become a dead star...” He was stunned. He had not expected to learn such a secret as soon as he began to explore.
The Sacred Body and the Heaven-Dominating Bloodline had been contending since very ancient times. They were natural, fated enemies, predating the era of the Sacred Body in the Big Dipper. Their struggle even involved “attaining the Dao.”
Suddenly, a clanging sword cry came from a broken mountain ahead. Ye Fan looked up sharply and flew over.
This was an important place, but everything was destroyed. Only a jade jar remained. At this moment, cracks appeared on it, and it suddenly exploded.
Strands of purple blood splattered onto the mountain rocks, dazzlingly bright, as if formed from divine light, capable of piercing through green stone, domineering and boundless.
“Heaven-Dominating Blood...”
Ye Fan’s pupils shot out two beams of light, staring at these brilliant purple blood drops, seeing through their origin, capturing strands of order and law.
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying figure condensed, formed from the purple blood. Its posture was tall and straight, its domineering aura overwhelming the heavens.
“It’s him... it’s actually him!” Ye Fan’s pupils shot out two brilliant rays. Before this figure had fully formed, he already knew who it was.
