# Chapter 1732: Chaos Erupts
"Pfft"
Within the Divine Organization, on a Dao platform, the Old God exploded with a bang, his body shattering into dozens or hundreds of pieces, his primordial spirit also crushed, turning into a great rain of light, dying miserably on this day.
This sudden event triggered great grief. All members wept bitterly—the Old God had died at this moment, unable to hold on.
Some people saw that on the day the Old God exploded, three people passing through from the Big Dipper had traveled this route, arousing unpleasant associations and triggering a great upheaval.
These were experts from three different Forbidden Zones. Some said they were close associates of ancient supremes, while of course others said they were transformed mounts. Opinions varied, with the former view prevailing. The three were called the Three World-Exterior Gods, because this time they had come together, advancing and retreating as one.
"Isn't this too terrifying? The Old God of the Divine Organization actually exploded directly. How could this be? Did those three really make a move in secret?"
Inside the Divine Organization, chaos reigned. Many firmly believed this was most likely a murder, with someone secretly striking.
But others opposed this view. Outsiders didn't know the details of that battle back then, but their internal experts all knew—the Old God had long been unable to hold on. In the past, he had only returned to settle his affairs. Living an extra seventy years was already the utmost.
With disputes and disturbances, the Divine Organization fell into great chaos, nearly breaking into conflict over this. In the end, the White-Haired Sword God made a domineering move, splitting the heavens with one sword strike, stabilizing the situation.
Various storms continued unabated. Everyone knew the universe was bound to descend into chaos. Peace would be broken and the structure of major powers was about to change!
At the Old God's funeral, the appearance of a young man drew much attention. It was Ye Tong, the great disciple of the Sacred Body Ye Fan.
In recent years, he had not gone into seclusion. He had been fighting and struggling, striving to forge his own path, truly wanting to share Ye Fan's burdens and fight alongside him.
And over these years, he had been extremely dazzling. Thirty years ago, he had personally killed an Ancient Imperial Prince, causing a sensation.
In terms of age, Ye Tong was only twenty or thirty years younger than Ye Fan. Though they were master and disciple in name, if viewed from the long lifespan of cultivators, they could be considered of the same generation. With his powerful talent, achieving such battle records was not surprising.
Now, during this sensitive period, his appearance naturally drew attention, because the entire universe was watching his master's movements.
Ye Tong had come on behalf of the Heavenly Court. He performed the great ritual seriously, offered flowers, nodded to the White-Haired Sword God, and soon departed.
But no sooner had he left, before he had gone far, an expert pursued him.
"Brother Ye, please wait. My master invites you."
"Who is your master?"
"Cloud Mist Fairy Maiden," the person replied.
Ye Tong looked into the distance. A graceful figure stood on the Star River, nodding and smiling at him. Her smile could topple cities, extremely beautiful and ethereal. In her hand, she held a jade flute, its entire body lustrous and smooth.
He ascended into the heavens, arriving amidst that stretch of stars.
"Could she be from a Forbidden Zone of Life? How is there a strange aura!" Ye Tong's brows jumped. With his level of cultivation, his divine sense was extremely terrifying, naturally able to perceive many things.
He felt this might be a descendant of a supreme, or a relative, possessing that special divine charm and aura. Even he felt his hairs stand on end. This person was very powerful. If they truly fought, she would definitely be a great enemy!
Though Ye Tong's cultivation was now extremely strong, he still found this woman very dangerous.
"I have no ill intentions. I only wish to meet your master and ask him about his attitude toward the Forbidden Zones," the woman said frankly, directly stating her purpose.
"My master has gone to cultivate. No one knows where he is," Ye Tong said.
"Is that so?" The woman looked at him, her eyes revealing seven colors, then nodded. "I understand."
This woman was very strong, possessing a power that could pierce through a person's soul. Even Ye Tong, who had personally killed an Ancient Imperial Prince, couldn't help but look solemn, on full alert.
However, the other party showed no killing intent. She smiled lightly and drifted away into the distance.
"Master, where are you? How are you really doing? The various Forbidden Zones are very concerned about your current situation, regarding you and the Chaos Body as those about to attain the Dao," Ye Tong muttered to himself.
Over the years, they had been very worried, because Ye Fan's two appearances had brought no heartening news. Though they hadn't seen it themselves, everyone in the world was talking about his aging.
The people of the Heavenly Court did not go searching. Ye Fan had once instructed that no one should follow his path.
Just as Ye Tong had left not long ago, the Three World-Exterior Gods arrived. Coming from three different Forbidden Zones of Life, they walked together, appearing in the starry space where Ye Tong had stood.
"I wish to see the Sacred Body or someone related to him. Who can provide this?" The three were very calm, speaking outside the Divine Organization, asking everyone.
The crowd felt a chill in their hearts. The visitors meant no good. Powerful cultivators from the Forbidden Zones were appearing, truly coming for Ye Fan of the Heavenly Court. This might trigger chaos.
After this day, many in the universe knew that experts from Immortal Mountain, Immortal Mound, and Reincarnation Sea had appeared. Their attention to Ye Fan even exceeded that toward the Chaos Body.
The Heavenly Court's forces were scattered throughout the universe. No one jumped out, nor did they want to make trouble at this juncture. There were only thirty years left; there would be a result. There was no need for confrontation now.
Even Ye Tong did not provoke them. He deeply knew the terror of the Forbidden Zones. Now was not the time for war. He thought that what the Forbidden Zones wanted to understand now was Ye Fan's attitude.
However, some things couldn't be avoided even if one wanted to. Someone would always take the initiative to come knocking.
In a stretch of starry space, a golden light flew at extreme speed, pushing the Stride Art to its limit, dripping drops of golden blood as it fled.
Yang Xi had suffered severe injuries. Red blood and golden blood scattered as he fled through the Star River. If he hadn't cultivated the Stride Art and the Presence Secret to their limits, maintaining extreme speed and protecting his primordial spirit from shattering, he would have been in real danger.
Behind him, a massive ferocious beast emitted overwhelming aura, its whole body flashing with black light, scales dense and dark, as ferocious as a jackal. It was the Heaven-Slaying ferocious beast from the Overlord Body Ancestral Star.
"Weng"
On its back, a long spike like a war spear flew up, turning into a black light that pierced through the universe, shooting toward Yang Xi's back.
Not long ago, Yang Xi had been wounded just like this. He wasn't as high in realm as this ferocious beast, several levels lower. Surviving was truly not easy.
Yang Xi dodged quickly, constantly tearing through the heavens, avoiding the black spike. But it had to be said that this ferocious beast was too powerful, suppressing him with pure realm advantage, following like a shadow.
It used a secret treasure, locking onto Yang Xi. Every time he shook it off, it could find him again not long after.
"As long as you tell me Ye Fan's whereabouts, I'll spare your life," the ferocious beast behind said coldly.
"You're just a mount. Don't put on airs. If you have the ability, capture me. Otherwise, don't boast!" Yang Xi replied.
Like Ye Tong, he had been training outside, never completely going into seclusion. People with their talent needed powerful opponents to temper themselves.
Two days later, Yang Xi was covered in blood, almost crippled. He finally shook off the pursuit and returned to a secret location of the Heavenly Court. There were no heavenly soldiers here, only some familiar friends.
"Motherf*cker, what happened? Who did this?" Black Emperor immediately jumped up.
"The Heaven-Slaying ferocious beast from the Overlord Body Star, a mount of a Great Accomplishment Overlord Body!" Yang Xi said.
"Go summon people. Call back Ye Tong, the Holy Prince, the Human Demon, and Mountain Phoenix. We'll go kill it together!" Black Emperor was furious. Before leaving, Ye Fan had entrusted everyone to him, giving him everything, believing that he, old and experienced, having followed Emperor Wu Shi, had plenty of methods.
And now Yang Xi had almost died outside. How could this not enrage him?
Soon, news came that the Holy Prince had also been ambushed, but he was unharmed and had safely returned to the Heavenly Court.
"It might be the Three World-Exterior Gods. They didn't show themselves. I only countered with the Immortal Iron Staff and then returned."
"Dammit, muster the troops. We'll all move out. First kill the Heaven-Slaying ferocious beast. Since we're opposed, conflict is inevitable sooner or later. Let's slaughter it first!"
No one would have expected the Heavenly Court to react so fiercely. In the era when Ye Fan had disappeared, they had scattered, being as low-key as possible. Now they suddenly erupted.
"If we're going to kill, let's kill thoroughly. Everyone gather. Also, report to the First Divine General, ask him to watch the Overlord Body Ancestral Star. We've never been afraid of trouble."
Within half a month, the Human Demon, Ye Tong, Little Pine, Black Emperor, Pang Bo, Mountain Phoenix, the Holy Prince, and other quasi-emperor-level combat forces all mobilized. Even, following Black Emperor's protective nature, they wanted to invite the Battle Victory Buddha and Gu Tianshu, because he had learned from Ye Fan that the two were on the Amitabha Ancient Star.
This was the largest battle in seventy years with the most quasi-emperors mobilized. They cast a net across the entire universe, secretly searching for the arrogant Heaven-Slaying ferocious beast, and finally decisively made their move.
This battle was extremely bloody. No one expected that the Heavenly Court members, silent for seventy years, would be so terrifying once they erupted. They weren't ordinary experts but a group of quasi-emperors in revolt!
"Old thing, you think just because your realm is high, you can do whatever you want? You're just a mount, yet you dare to kill in all directions. Today, we'll cut you down!"
"Pfft"
The Heaven-Slaying ferocious beast's front leg was directly blown apart by the group, turning into a large cloud of blood mist that scattered.
This was an ancient beast that had once accompanied a supreme in conquering the universe. What great scenes hadn't it seen? But even it felt fear today. A group of quasi-emperors went mad, charging at it, causing it to suffer a crushing defeat as soon as they clashed.
It was true that its realm was high, but it couldn't withstand the fact that the other side had great killing weapons in hand. They came up swinging broken imperial artifacts, beating it until it had no temper at all.
"Who dares to fight me one-on-one?" the Heaven-Slaying ferocious beast roared.
"One-on-one my ass. Lower your realm to our level, and we can go up one by one and torment you until you go mad. Today, we're ganging up on you!" Black Emperor went berserk.
"Old thing, you dared to bully my big nephew. Today, Old Phoenix will beat you to death!" Mountain Phoenix revealed his true form. All his feathers stood on end, each one bristling, then all shot out.
At this moment, he had practically turned into a plucked mountain pheasant, both wretched and terrifying. Ten thousand phoenix feathers were almost all stuck into the Heaven-Slaying ferocious beast's body.
"Big nephew, take it easy. Don't destroy my new clothes!" Old Mountain Pheasant quickly called out when he saw Yang Xi picking up the Immortal Iron Staff the Holy Prince had given him and viciously smashing the Heaven-Slaying ferocious beast.
Yang Xi killed until he was excited and trembling, completely beating the Great Accomplishment Overlord Body's mount into submission.
This battle had no suspense. The Heaven-Slaying ferocious beast was killed. Finally, the Human Demon and the Holy Prince, who hadn't made a move, stepped forward, dismembered it, and made it into a pot of delicious food.
When this matter spread, it shook the universe.
The Heavenly Court's strength was too terrifying. Even if disbanded, it could not be provoked.
When the Three World-Exterior Gods heard this, they all fell silent, no longer loudly seeking Ye Fan or those related to him.
Of course, after this battle, the Heavenly Court members all disappeared again, never reappearing.
The Overlord Body Ancestral Star erupted, transmitting roars of rage. But on this day, a white-haired youth appeared, sitting cross-legged above this star, a terrifying hard bow lying across his legs.
"I still have thirty years of life left. If you're unconvinced, break out of the Immortal Source and come out to fight. Let's see who's more ruthless!" he sneered.
"Sacred Body, as long as you undergo tribulation, you two will both be destroyed!" someone said coldly.
"Is that so? I'm waiting. I can afford to wait thirty years!" Chuan Ying faced the Overlord Body Ancestral Star, then turned to glance in the direction of the Underworld.
Ten years, twenty years... Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the hundredth year arrived! (To be continued)
