Chapter 1727: Great Accomplishment Overlord Body
Countless stars flickered like fireflies, rapidly extinguishing one after another. In the darkness, a massive black hand reached out, blotting out this stretch of the starry sky, and all the stars exploded into fragments.
This scene was too terrifying. The black hand extended from an unknown place, covering the entire universe. All things appeared so tiny before it, not even amounting to dust.
This sight shocked everyone. Some cultivators passing nearby were frightened out of their wits. What kind of divine power was this? It was utterly unfathomable.
An ancient supreme being had emerged from the world and was striking here!
This thought arose in people's minds instantly. There could be no other reason. Were the most powerful figures from ancient times appearing again?
"Puff"
A sage passing through this starry realm struggled in vain. Having cultivated for thousands of years, standing at the peak and ruling over a domain, he was still as fragile as an ant before a supreme being.
The ancient sage exploded directly. The black hand hadn't even touched him, yet he was obliterated in body and spirit under the pressure, turning into a mist of blood.
Those outside the domain felt a chill from head to toe. Trembling, they retreated in panic, their bodies convulsing, their hearts filled with extreme terror as they fled into the distance.
Was this a deity who could create the world? One hand covering the galaxy, destroying everything. In the cold universe, only a single black palm remained. What a horrifying sight!
This was a true myth, a scene of world-destruction from the most ancient era, shaking the soul.
Ahead of the black hand was a massive mass of thunderous light, equally vast, flooding a huge expanse of the starry sky as it rushed toward the distance at extreme speed.
The black hand was too terrifying. It seemed to descend slowly, yet it could catch up to and even surpass the lightning mass, which moved at the world's ultimate speed.
Ye Fan's heart shook violently. The figure within the lightning was naturally him, crossing the most fearsome tribulation. He activated the Stride Art to evade the black palm chasing him from behind.
His situation was extremely dire. While facing an overwhelming heavenly tribulation, an ancient supreme being had also appeared, targeting him. This was practically a death sentence.
A supreme being had made a move. This day had come so quickly, and it had truly happened.
In the past, he had already been considered very strong, a peerless expert in the world. But in the eyes of those supreme beings, he was perhaps still an ant, never taken seriously.
As long as he hadn't reached Great Accomplishment or attained the Dao, he wasn't worth their attention. Supreme beings were invincible and also proud.
Today, had he finally caught the eye of certain individuals? They had awakened from their slumber, intending to kill him on his path to Great Accomplishment, denying him the chance.
Ye Fan pushed the Stride Art to its limit. The River of Time itself halted for him as he traveled at extreme speed. Along the way, his brow glowed as he summoned the Devouring Demon Jar, preparing for battle.
To cross the tribulation, he hadn't brought the jar with him but had hidden it in another domain.
"Boom!"
The black hand covered infinite star rivers, enveloping the entire heavens. In the blink of an eye, it was about to cover Ye Fan from above. Countless stars had been destroyed.
This terrifying scene—one hand blotting out the sky, the universe bearing only a single black hand—shocked the world.
Ye Fan's brows shot up. Time was running out. The situation was extremely critical. Would he have to shatter the Primordial Qi Cauldron and let the Immortal Bell's laws explode? That would be too great a loss.
But if he didn't, even summoning the Devouring Demon Jar would be too late.
Death was so close. The ancient supreme being stood high above, and Ye Fan, already in danger from crossing his tribulation, now faced a great calamity. He might fall.
"It's the Overlord Body!"
Ye Fan sensed a familiar fluctuation, identical to the bloodline of the former Overlord King. It triggered a resonance within him. The purple blood ancient lightning was already boiling, threatening to shatter him.
Clearly, a Great Accomplishment Overlord Body had appeared, unleashing his most powerful strike. He didn't want any accidents; his goal was to destroy the Sacred Body Ye Fan in one blow.
These two bloodlines had been at war since the Mythical Era, fighting until now. The blood feud was impossible to resolve. He came to kill Ye Fan, to prevent him from reaching Great Accomplishment. There was no need for reasoning.
An ancient supreme being had struck, and with his strongest attack. This wasn't casual slaughter. The terrifying consequences were such that no one in this generation could stop him—unless Ye Fan reached Great Accomplishment or attained the Dao!
"Overlord Body, how dare you touch someone I've taken a liking to? Be careful, or I'll wipe out all your bloodline!" A cold voice rang out. Another hand slammed down, colliding with the black hand with a thunderous boom.
This was a youth with clear eyes, carrying a black hard bow on his back and holding a stone staff in his right hand. He looked down upon the eight desolates, standing beneath the starry sky.
He had just used his left hand to forcefully clash with the Great Accomplishment Overlord Body, blocking the peerless attack.
The black hand faded, revealing a tall figure with flowing purple hair. His imposing presence was awe-inspiring, and his blood energy was noticeably stronger than when he had first emerged in the past!
He was silent, staring at the youth for a long time without speaking.
In the distance, a sea of lightning covered the star domain. Explosions rang out endlessly as stars shattered one after another.
Ye Fan began crossing his tribulation. He could no longer control it. He was caught in a great ordeal. But with the youth's appearance, he knew he could focus on dealing with his own heavenly tribulation.
"You are Chuan Ying, the First Divine General of the Ancient Heavenly Court? Your reputation is well-deserved." The Great Accomplishment Overlord Body spoke, his voice deep and carrying a terrifying penetrating power that could directly shatter stars.
Chuan Ying, a living legend. Even the Emperor Venerable had marveled at him, personally sealing him away, intending to keep him for a future path to the Dao. But in the end, due to his deep obsession, he had emerged early.
"So it's not your true body. Sending only an incarnation like this isn't enough for me to kill." Chuan Ying laughed, his smile radiant.
An incarnation, using secret arts, might temporarily unleash the power of the true body, but over time, it would inevitably be slain.
"Do you think he can attain the Dao?" After a moment of silence, the Great Accomplishment Overlord Body asked coldly. His blood energy was vigorous, his purple hair like a star river, and beams of light shot from his eyes.
"Haha... The person I value needs no reason. If you dare touch even a single finger of his, I will kill you!" Chuan Ying laughed boldly. Despite being a youth, his demeanor was carefree yet wild.
In this current era, who would dare show such disrespect to an ancient supreme being, facing them with such a lofty attitude, looking down on ancient imperial-level experts?
"From my birth to now, many have said such things to me. But they are all dead." The Great Accomplishment Overlord Body said calmly.
"Boom!"
Without another word, the youth charged forward, wielding his stone staff for a great slaughter. The staff swept through the sky like a gray azure dragon, pressing down on the universe with unparalleled might.
The ten directions of the heavens collapsed. Stars exploded one by one. Suns, moons, and all celestial bodies turned into fireworks.
The Great Accomplishment Overlord Body, fierce and domineering, struck first with the Overlord Fist, causing the universe to rumble and roar.
A battle of supreme beings had erupted!
Both were powerful, experts among experts. This battle naturally had a great impact, shaking the great universe and startling all domains.
Hum!
A purple light hammer flew from the distant sky like a purple ribbon, smashing toward Chuan Ying. This was a supreme being's weapon, sent from the Overlord Body's ancestral star to kill.
"Dang!"
The First Divine General of the Ancient Heavenly Court struck with his stone staff, colliding with the weapon. The light burst forth with blinding intensity. In that moment, no stars remained in this domain; all had been reduced to powder.
Even Ye Fan, in another domain, was affected, suffering the impact. The sea of tribulation lightning erupted, becoming even more violent.
The battle continued, but for now, it had nothing to do with Ye Fan. He calmed his mind to face the heavenly tribulation, pushing through his breakthrough.
After who knows how long, the universe fell silent. Ye Fan's great tribulation had ended. The sea of lightning vanished, and he absorbed the essence of heaven and earth to replenish himself.
On the other side, a youth was already sitting cross-legged. Watching him finish, he smiled and said, "Not bad."
"Thank you, senior." Ye Fan bowed in gratitude.
"I just couldn't stand to watch." The First Divine General of the Ancient Heavenly Court said, then added, "The Overlord Body's ancestral star isn't easy to mess with. There's definitely more than one Great Accomplishment Overlord Body. From what I've learned in recent years, some of the supreme beings who killed Sacred Bodies on the ancient path in the past are still alive, sealed in the ancestral cave."
When Ye Fan heard these words, his eyes shot out sharp beams of light. It was just as he had guessed back then. This bloodline was terrifying enough to form a forbidden zone, with supreme beings enduring through the ages.
And this was also what he had hoped for back then. If those from the past had all died, ending their glory with the honor of killing a Sacred Body, that might have been more regrettable.
"They haven't died. That puts my mind at ease!" Ye Fan said.
"Haha, good! You have guts!" The First Divine General of the Ancient Heavenly Court laughed heartily, then shook his head and sighed. "Attaining the Dao is destined to be a lonely path. In the final glory, one savors solitude and bitterness alone."
The First Divine General left, coming and going swiftly. Ye Fan's cultivation had surged dramatically, reaching the seventh heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. He was close to Great Accomplishment and could feel the aura of attaining the Dao even more keenly.
In this universe, if not for encountering ancient supreme beings, he could truly sweep through the world.
At the same time, he began to think deeply. In the past, he was an ant in the eyes of supreme beings, insignificant. But as he approached Great Accomplishment, perhaps some would be awakened and unable to sit still.
Just like this time, the Great Accomplishment Overlord Body had acted, wanting to destroy him with a single palm, killing him on his path to the Dao.
Perhaps every Dao attainers in history had experienced this. The rise of a Great Emperor would threaten the safety of certain supreme beings, and they would find ways to stop it.
The more Ye Fan thought, the colder he felt. He wasn't worried for himself but for his friends and family.
He thought of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, who had left for five hundred years, refusing to return to his homeland until the bones of the girl he waited for had turned to dust, leaving a lifetime of regret.
There were many hidden reasons behind this. He had likely feared bringing the calamity of attaining the Dao to his homeland, so he never returned until he had achieved it.
Ye Fan gazed into the universe. He needed to prepare early. As his cultivation grew deeper, those ancient dragons would gradually turn their gazes toward him, this ant, and begin to pay attention.
Not allowing him to transform into a dragon, killing him in the mortal world—this might be the terrible disaster he would face from now on.
"Attaining the Dao is destined to be a lonely path. In the final glory, one savors solitude and bitterness alone."
The words of the First Divine General of the Ancient Heavenly Court clearly had a deeper meaning. Was he hinting at the desolation of this path? If one wanted to attain the Dao, it wasn't just about being brilliant enough to pass that trial. One also had to face the terrifying suppression of other ancient supreme beings, which would bring disaster to one's loved ones.
A chill rose in Ye Fan's heart. If he alone attained the Dao while all his family and friends died, what was the point of this path? But now, there was no turning back. The Great Accomplishment Overlord Body had made his move, and other supreme beings would begin to focus on him.
No one had ever leaped directly to becoming an Emperor. The final eighth tribulation, ninth tribulation, and Emperor tribulation were each more terrifying than the last. Each one required risking life and death.
Perhaps he would face three "Supreme Being Calamities," each more fearsome than the last. The first two would be especially difficult. Some would not allow him to reach Great Accomplishment.
Ye Fan sat cross-legged in the universe, beginning to ponder how to stop all this. What he needed to do was to sovereign over the realm and seek immortality, not watch those around him fall!
It was a bleak scene on the monthly ticket rankings. Without a dedicated chapter, no one would speak up. Please vote!
