# Chapter 1598: Sacred Body

Ye Fan opened his Source Heaven Divine Eye and saw a hazy light. Feather Transformation Heavenly had not yet left, but was actually waiting outside, clearly intending to hunt him down.

"A person cannot lose their bottom line. I am like a moth diving into a flame, charging into battle across the cosmos. Though my strength is insignificant, I am doing my part. Yet you, ignoring the Dark Calamity, would intercept and kill me here. Fine, a fine one you are, Divine Court's Feather Transformation Heavenly!"

Ye Fan was truly enraged. Though this man was a Quasi-Emperor, he was utterly despised by Ye Fan. Even if this person had Imperial Qi rising from him, he still found him repulsive, contemptible, and beneath notice.

"What did you retrieve from Sacred Cliff?" Feather Transformation Heavenly's gaze flickered. He cared about nothing else, only this. Deep in his eyes was a craving—something that would make Ye Fan come here even as the dark end times approached was absolutely world-shaking.

"I retrieved a supreme treasure that can battle an Ancient Supreme. Do you want it?" Ye Fan asked coldly.

"Are you trying to scare me? Why wouldn't I want it? I've been waiting here to send you on your way. Leave everything behind!" Feather Transformation Heavenly said grimly. Even though that little girl was terrifying, with an origin that was frighteningly great, he still wanted to make his move—avoiding her and quickly finishing off Ye Fan.

"Very well, I'll give it to you!" Ye Fan roared.

His hair stood on end, each strand pointing to the sky. Golden blood energy surged upward accompanied by crimson clouds. From his crown shot a massive beam of light that shattered the heavens.

This was the power of his bloodline, the foundation of his invincible physical body.

A corpse appeared, falling from the bronze cauldron. Its entire body was covered in green fur, looking extremely terrifying. It stood there imposingly, its aura suppressing the mortal world.

This was the Great Accomplishment Saint Body of ancient times, who had once fought a great battle at Immortal Mountain, cutting off a section of black ancient peaks to form Sacred Cliff. He had fought a bloody battle his entire life, his fame shaking the ages.

Unfortunately, in his later years, he grew old and weak, his blood energy no longer abundant, his peak long past. In his twilight years, he was slain by the Immortal Daoist, staining Sacred Cliff red, and later suffered misfortune.

This was a hero of old, but fate had been cruel to him, reducing him to this state. He should have been divinely martial, dominating the world, but now he could only be covered in green fur, a horror to the mortal realm.

Ye Fan did not merely send his primordial spirit to possess the body. His entire form merged into it. This body's blood had gone cold, its Sea of Suffering had dried up, its Immortal Platform no longer existed.

But as Ye Fan merged with it, the entire body began to glow, then rumbled like thunder. The sound of blood flowing was like a thunderclap. A peerless hero was reviving, seeming to awaken from slumber.

This corpse emitted light, just like when Ye Fan had once possessed the small-accomplishment Saint Body's shell in the Green Flood Dragon King's treasury, causing the dried-up cycle to surge like an ocean once more!

The Sacred Body bloodline connected. Ye Fan felt as if he and this body were born as one, as if they had never been separated.

Weng Long!

It pierced straight through the nine heavens, stirring up ancient slaughter tribulations. This body shone brilliantly. The sound of blood surging within was like a great ocean roaring, deafening.

Ye Fan merged with this body. The azure lotus in his Wheel Sea directly took root within the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's form, causing waves to rise there, dazzling and brilliant.

The vitality of this body seemed to revive. Only the Immortal Platform remained dim, without a trace of luster—because the soul had died, vanished like smoke.

All of this happened in the space of a spark. Before anyone could react, Ye Fan charged out. He felt the overwhelming power of this body; just its physical form alone could destroy an entire star domain.

The Green Copper Cauldron followed as well, hovering above his head, protecting his forehead. Immortal clouds cascaded down, guarding his Immortal Platform from attack.

Feather Transformation Heavenly was powerful, a Quasi-Emperor. Though he had only recently stepped into this realm, he had already firmly stabilized his cultivation. He too was poised to strike.

But unexpectedly, thunder roared ahead. Ye Fan merged with a body, emitting brilliant light, and charged forward on his own initiative.

In an instant, the enemy was right before him. Feather Transformation Heavenly quickly threw a punch—this was true Quasi-Emperor power, heaven-shattering and earth-cracking. If not for Sacred Cliff behind him, protected by a Great Emperor's formation, the shockwaves would have destroyed everything.

Yet this heaven-dominating punch failed to achieve its intended effect. The charging figure simply ignored it, raising a large green hand and grabbing directly.

"Not good!"

Feather Transformation Heavenly was startled and dodged quickly. Because that was the Great Accomplishment Saint Body. Though he had never seen it with his own eyes, he could absolutely guess—this was an ancient being who could contend with Great Emperors, its physical body supremely powerful.

Fighting the Great Accomplishment Saint Body in physical combat was suicide. Even becoming a Quasi-Emperor wouldn't save him!

Xiu!

He retreated like a bolt of lightning, but Ye Fan was equally astonishingly fast. The Stride Secret represented the extreme of this domain, nearly touching the realm of time. Now, Ye Fan was executing it with the Great Accomplishment Saint Body. This speed was simply terrifying—shattering heaven and earth, making time itself seem to flow backward.

Ye Fan followed like a shadow, pursuing the Quasi-Emperor, and struck forward with a palm!

He couldn't match his opponent in primordial spirit, not having reached that realm. Only in physical body was he now invincible—a physique unique to their bloodline, cultivated to the absolute peak. In close-quarters combat, he could shatter all things.

Feather Transformation Heavenly clearly sensed Ye Fan's weakness. His entire body erupted with beams of light. Countless order divine chains shot forth, charging toward Ye Fan's skull to pierce the Immortal Platform.

But obviously, it didn't work. The Green Copper Cauldron hung there, immortal light cascading down, blocking everything.

However, Little Nannan behind him didn't understand. Her intuition told her that the Quasi-Emperor was far more powerful than Ye Fan's original body. Terrified, she cried out: "Don't hurt Big Brother!"

Her childish, tearful voice carried a mysterious power. The light from Feather Transformation Heavenly's primordial spirit dimmed by a large margin. His primordial spirit ached violently, as if about to explode.

In that moment, he was scared out of his wits. He was a Quasi-Emperor! What kind of person could still injure him like this? There was only one answer!

Realizing this, his entire body convulsed. He turned to flee, but his primordial spirit was unstable, in unbearable pain. The crying voice had actually wounded him.

Behind them, Black Emperor saw clearly. Being right next to Little Nannan, his keen spiritual sense caught a wisp of rosy light flying from her brow. As she cried, it pierced into Feather Transformation Heavenly's body.

"Slap!"

At this moment, Ye Fan's large hand came swinging down like a Heaven-Overturning Seal—massive and unmatched, indestructible—and struck solidly against the Quasi-Emperor's back.

Blood splattered. Bones broke and tendons snapped. Without any suspense, Ye Fan's palm strike was too heavy. It pierced through the Quasi-Emperor, punching through his back and emerging from the front.

Feather Transformation Heavenly's chest bones shattered. Blood sprayed everywhere, a gruesome sight. This strike was terrifying enough to shock the mortal world.

He let out a great cry, feeling disaster upon him. His primordial spirit roused from its stupor and tried to surge up, to break free from his body. Because being held at close range by the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was no different from death. He had to get away.

But what awaited him was the Green Copper Cauldron, smashing down directly. Though damaged, it was no weaker than an Imperial Artifact!

"Ah..."

Feather Transformation Heavenly screamed. His soul was about to scatter. He voluntarily shattered the azure little man, trying to scatter and escape. It was futile. Under the green light, his primordial spirit melted like snow meeting fire.

Finally, Ye Fan preserved a fragment, grabbing it in his hand. He wanted to know where the Divine Lord was, but found nothing.

"Pu"

The rosy light vibrated. The last of the primordial spirit turned to ash. Ye Fan withdrew his hand and threw the corpse to the ground.

The Deputy Sect Master of Divine Court, a Quasi-Emperor, had been killed just like that. It was like a dream!

If word got out, it would be hard to believe.

Blood still flowed. The corpse still had warmth. The bloody truth lay before him, yet even Ye Fan himself was somewhat stunned.

"You deserved to die!" In the end, he only spat out these three words.

"If not for Nannan, he probably could have escaped." Black Emperor walked over and analyzed the combat power of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's shell seriously with Ye Fan.

The physical body was powerful on one hand, but lacking the corresponding preserved fragments of supreme laws was a weakness. If Ye Fan used this to go to war, it would only end in tragedy.

"Moreover, this body has lost too much essence blood, staining Sacred Cliff red. It's a notch weaker than in its prime."

This was the truth. Otherwise, even Ye Fan, being a Sacred Body, couldn't have approached this eerie and powerful body—he would have been sent flying by Emperor-level aura.

"Let's go!" Ye Fan said. There was no choice. He would do what he could.

They arrived at Purple Mountain. This place had long since collapsed, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

"Then there's only that place. Disrespect to the Great Emperor or not, we must go immediately. Anyway, you've already seen those two bodies with your own eyes." Black Emperor said.

Ye Fan, Little Nannan, and Black Emperor went straight to the old grounds of Jade Pool, deep into the Immortal Pool, down through nine layers of heaven, and saw the Western Emperor once more!

In addition, there was another majestic body covered entirely in golden fur, accompanying her. In that special region, it released an undying Emperor-level aura.

Last time, Ye Fan couldn't approach. But this time, having merged with the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's shell, he could draw near and see the heroes buried together.

The Western Emperor was shrouded in chaos, hazy and indistinct, still impossible to see clearly. The peerless heroic bearing of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was covered by golden fur, also impossible to examine.

Their divine bearing was transcendent, emitting a world-dominating majesty that inspired awe.

"These are the Great Emperor's parents. We can't care about that now, kid. Merge with this body temporarily as well!" Black Emperor hardened his heart and said this.

In this world, he respected Emperor Wu Shi the most. He would never allow outsiders to defile anything related to him. Yet now he took this attitude—that alone spoke volumes.

He knew that even if Ye Fan merged with this flawless Great Accomplishment Saint Body, it would only make his physical body supremely powerful, able to contend with an Ancient Supreme in close combat. But once Imperial Dao laws came into play, he would still be killed without any suspense.

"I never hoped to slay an Ancient Supreme. I have no such thoughts. As long as I have a chance to get close and make some Ancient Supreme spill a handful of blood..."

"Kill an Ancient Supreme!" Black Emperor shouted.

"Big Brother, don't die." Little Nannan started crying immediately.

"Don't cry. Big Brother won't die. I still have to watch you grow up." Ye Fan patted her head, comforted her softly, then stepped forward, moved the Great Accomplishment Saint Body aside, and prepared to merge with it.

Only another Sacred Body could do this. For anyone else, it would be useless. And because he had already merged with the fallen Great Accomplishment Saint Body from Sacred Cliff, he could withstand this pressure, draw near, and lift this flawless Great Accomplishment Saint Body.

"Big Brother, there's something here." Little Nannan's eyes were tearful. She could actually approach as well, unafraid of the Western Emperor and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's pressure, walking right up to them.

Even Black Emperor couldn't do it. He simply couldn't get close. He called out anxiously: "Bring it over and let me see."

Little Nannan struggled to drag out a stone chest. Ye Fan quickly stepped forward and lifted it out.

"That's it, that's it! The thing is inside!" Black Emperor shouted, trembling with excitement.

"Has it truly come to this generation? Suppressing the Immortal Path, unable to attend to other matters. Only this remains..."

A man's voice, without joy or sorrow, without ripples, echoed here.

"Great Emperor!" Black Emperor's black fur stood on end. He was shocked, jumping up high.
