Chapter 1413: Heavenly Venerable Wheel Sea
Ye Fan fired a hundred arrows simultaneously, each arrow containing a powerful ancient art that tore through the cosmos, blasting the blood beast apart and dyeing the heavens and earth red with blood.
Ye Fan stood holding his bow, staring coldly at the blood mist and shattered bones, his expression indifferent. Then he turned his gaze to the other ancient ships.
Roar!
The blood beast let out a furious howl as its primordial spirit surged up, attempting to reassemble its flesh and bones for a recombination.
Unfortunately, it had no chance. Ye Fan fired his final arrow, accompanied by roaring wind and thunder, faster than lightning, directly piercing the blood-colored primordial spirit and shattering it!
With a final unwilling roar of fury in despair, the blood beast perished completely, both body and spirit.
Everyone’s heart tightened. Ye Fan’s methods were plain for all to see—a hundred arrows to slay the blood beast. It forced them to be on high alert, categorizing him as a dangerous figure.
Earlier, Golden Snake Second Young Lord had killed the Golden Giant in a hundred moves, and now Ye Fan had slain the blood beast with a hundred arrows. Both were extremely brilliant and shocking feats, enough to make even fellow supreme beings wary.
The Devouring Heaven Beast and the Metal-Eating Beast wore cold expressions. As fellow ancient beasts, they had watched helplessly as the blood beast was killed without being able to stop it. Their faces were dark as water.
These two were far more powerful than the blood beast, being legendary rare exotic beasts. One was said to be able to devour the heavens themselves, rarely seen since ancient times, while the other consumed various divine materials, even immortal gold, endlessly strengthening itself.
The two strongest ancient beasts stared coldly at Ye Fan. Although they felt some wariness toward him, they still wanted to strike and kill him!
With the bloodline of the strongest ancient beasts, once they reached great accomplishment, they would inevitably become supreme beast venerables, capable of killing ancient gods and demons—absolutely terrifying.
“You do have some skill. Let us continue our battle!” Golden Snake Second Young Lord acted first, his forked tongue hissing. His eyes were venomous, emitting strands of sharp light as his golden serpent body slithered forward.
He was naturally unconvinced. Their battle had not yet ended when the blood beast interrupted their duel. This had been a thorn in his heart all along—his physical body was inferior to Ye Fan’s, and he wanted to suppress and kill him with ancient arts.
Ye Fan killing the blood beast like this was indeed a powerful deterrent. But it was clearly not enough to intimidate these supreme beings.
Because each one was confident and charismatic, hailing from different ancient domains. They were the strongest on their respective ancient paths, and without a real battle, they would not withdraw from the imperial road.
Shen Lan, the heavenly maiden of the God Clan, spoke up: “Everyone, why must it be like this? There are many dangers ahead. For now, we should join forces to cross the sea together, rather than fighting to the death here.”
“I think some people need to be eliminated. I won’t tolerate them getting in the way on this path!” Golden Snake Second Young Lord said coldly, his golden serpent body coiling.
“That’s right, it’s time to settle this.” The Devouring Heaven Beast and the Metal-Eating Beast, these two supreme beings, also expressed their stance, pressing forward.
Ye Fan said nothing, directly raising his great bow, emitting a sky-shrouding killing intent. Pang Bo’s blood energy also surged, his combat power skyrocketing, his long hair wildly dancing, his eyes like cold lightning, ready for a bloody battle.
“Everyone, please calm down. Now is not the time for internal strife. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable,” Shen Lan, the heavenly maiden of the God Clan, said coldly.
She spoke unhurriedly, stating a fact. Ahead, several great sages like the Gray Flood Dragon and the Golden Toad might be waiting for them, planning to wipe them all out and seize their fortunes.
Shen Lan had great divine powers and had learned part of the truth about the killing scheme.
The old divine teacher had once deduced that some of the young supreme beings might have great fortune, which had attracted the attention of several great sages like the Golden Toad and the Heavenly Dog. They might kill them and reverse-seize their blessings.
“Are we afraid of those old things? In the future, we’ll kill them all cleanly!” Golden Snake Second Young Lord sneered, his head like a spring eye, but to everyone, it was more enormous than a true lake or sea.
It surged up from the depths of the seabed, sacred and peaceful, filled with pure white radiance. It was truly like immortal power, giving one a feeling of wanting to ascend and become an immortal.
Too dazzling, exceptionally peaceful, supremely divine and sacred, like the morning dew and divine liquid of the Immortal Domain surging forth, incomparably brilliant and full of vitality.
“This is an immortal spring, capable of reviving the dead and regrowing flesh and bone!”
They finally understood why the Golden Winged Great Peng had appeared here. It must have been attracted by this immortal spring. It had wanted to enter that spring eye, only to meet with a fatal calamity.
Not only Ye Fan and Pang Bo were moved, but also Shen Lan, Sang Gu, and the Devouring Heaven Beast from another direction were shocked. The four young lords of the Golden Snake Clan had their golden pupils blazing brightly.
“In this deathly silent sea of bitterness, there is a divine spring. This is truly… strange and mysterious!” Pang Bo muttered to himself.
“What did you say?!” Ye Fan was greatly startled upon hearing this. He had a sudden realization, as well as a shock that bordered on terror.
“I was saying the divine spring in the sea of bitterness…” Pang Bo said, then he himself froze, before revealing a shocked expression.
“Sea of bitterness… divine spring… Could this be someone’s wheel sea?!” The two looked at each other, simultaneously having this association.
It was too similar. Even the name of this place was the Sea of Bitterness. This might not be a random name, but a fact!
Clearly, Sang Gu, the Devouring Heaven Beast, and the four Golden Snake young lords also sensed it, revealing shocked expressions as they carefully examined that enormous divine spring.
“This… could it be the wheel sea formed from the body of a Heavenly Venerable from the mythological era?”
Their voices trembled. This was like a fairy tale—such a vast human sea of bitterness, more expansive than the most vast star domain, like a universe itself!
A Heavenly Venerable was a supreme existence at the level of an ancient great emperor. It was just that in those times, there were no titles like Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor. They were revered as “Heaven” or “Dao,” and later generations called them Heavenly Venerable or Dao Venerable.
Earth-shattering!
This conjecture caused the hearts of over a dozen young supreme beings to tremble violently, their bodies unable to help shaking. What an heaven-defying masterstroke this was! It challenged the limits of imagination!
A sea of bitterness as vast as a universe, with stars like specks of dust falling from time to time. If this were true, it would shake the past and present.
“There is most likely a Heavenly Venerable-level ancient weapon here, nurtured in the divine spring eye of the sea of bitterness!” Ye Fan murmured.
