# Chapter 1743: Shaking the Ten Directions
The Sacred Body had reached great accomplishment, and Ye Fan's name spread throughout heaven and earth. A massive earthquake occurred across the cosmos, and without a doubt, a truly invincible expert had emerged.
The heavens and earth shook violently. All the great royal clans and all races across the universe were stunned and shaken. A Great Accomplishment Sacred Body could challenge an Emperor—this was not just empty talk; he truly possessed that level of combat power.
Many years had passed since the Green Emperor had sat into nirvana and Gai Jiuyou had sighed in regret. Now, finally, such a person had appeared again. In this era, there would be Emperor-level supreme combat power.
This was a storm, unparalleled, surpassing all before it. It even spread to the mortal world, where even children had heard the name Ye Fan.
The world was in an uproar. The ten wastelands trembled!
"A Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, born in our era! As soon as he crossed his tribulation, he killed the supreme expert of the Heaven-Dominating Bloodline. Who can contend with him? Will the next ten thousand years be his era of rule?!"
"A figure who can challenge an Emperor has truly appeared. Will he go to settle accounts with the ancient supremes?"
The world was restless, with discussions everywhere.
Many people speculated that Ye Fan would definitely go to war with the Forbidden Zones of Life to seek justice. The recent ambush had spread throughout the world, and many had personally witnessed his great escape and pursuit by supremes.
People predicted that there would inevitably be a tremendous storm!
"That's not right. Harmony is most precious. I think Daoist Ye will consider many factors; he won't necessarily go to war immediately." An old man spoke. It was Chaos Expansion Great Sage, who hadn't been seen for a long time. He looked spirited, with a ruddy complexion and a gleaming forehead.
"Not good! The Jinx has predicted again. He's a crow's mouth—every prophecy of his turns out the opposite. I think this time the Forbidden Zones of Life are in for big trouble. If I were a supreme, I'd destroy this jinx first!"
"Seeing the Jinx and you're still so calm? Better run fast. Whoever meets him is unlucky." Some elderly cultivators fled in panic.
"Can't be... is he really that powerful? Even Divine Wind Great Sage ran away? That's so unlucky?"
"You youngsters, you were all born in the last few hundred years. Back when Chaos Expansion roamed the world, even your founding ancestors had to run away."
Ye Fan's great accomplishment had a huge impact. This was a massive upheaval. Figures who hadn't appeared in many years emerged once again.
An era belonging to the Sacred Body had arrived. Perhaps it would open a period of invincible glory. Many great waves and many momentous events would occur during this time.
People were waiting in anticipation!
Attacking the Forbidden Zones of Life might no longer be empty talk. Perhaps it would soon become reality.
"My Heavenly Court can finally reappear in the mortal world!"
The most excited were the veteran soldiers. Various battle divisions of Heavenly Court began to return, holding high their banners, crossing countless star rivers, forming a steel flood heading toward the former site of Heavenly Court.
"Assemble the generals, beat the war drums, raise the banners high, summon my Heavenly Court army to return!" Black Emperor personally issued the order.
At the old site of Heavenly Court, the great banners rumbled and shook, producing wind and thunder sounds. True dragons coiled around them, phoenixes sang, shaking the universe.
"Hee hee..."
In Heavenly Court, only two little girls could be so lively and unconcerned about the current grand occasion. Little Zi and Little Nannan chased and played with each other, having a wonderful time.
Ji Ziyue watched them with affection, guarding nearby to prevent them from going too far and running into the starry sky. There was no helping it—not to mention Little Nannan, even Little Zi could now fly.
As for Li Heishui, Dongfang Ye, Li Tian, and the others, they were already excited, carrying wine jars as they inspected various places, urging disciples to clean up the dusty old site of Heavenly Court.
One army after another appeared, rushing here without stopping. Many veteran soldiers had tears in their eyes, trembling with excitement. In the previous period, they had been hunted by people from the Forbidden Zones, losing many old brothers. Some battle divisions had completely disappeared. Now, they were returning in strength, with no one able to stop them. The vast battle plan Ye Fan had once outlined might come true!
"Ah, those are the Heavenly Court armies. Truly all elites, a mighty force that has survived a hundred battles!"
"Let's join Heavenly Court too! Only such a battle-tested army is worthy of us joining. In the future, there will be passionate battles, campaigns on the heavenly path, sweeping through the Forbidden Zones. A true man should live a life of grandeur!"
Along the way, many cultivators were discussing. Clearly, the Heavenly soldiers and generals had become the envy of many. Countless people wanted to become one of them.
Times had changed. Everyone knew that Heavenly Court would inevitably rise above all major powers. No one could suppress them anymore. Even the Forbidden Zones of Life would not dare to act rashly.
"He actually reached this step!"
On Big Dipper, many people sighed. They had once competed with Ye Fan, but now, only a few hundred years later, they found the gap between them had become insurmountable. A Great Accomplishment Sacred Body—what did that concept mean? He could fight the Green Emperor from over ten thousand years ago, making their ancestors of every generation look up to him and submit!
That night, many couldn't sleep. Especially those who had once opposed or even fought against Ye Fan. Looking at the starry sky, there was only silence.
The Saint Lord of Grand Derivative Holy Land, his black hair loose, let out a sigh. From a former candidate holy son to the current sect leader, then to a sage, he was already very strong. But looking at that figure high above, burning like a deity, shining brightly and illuminating half the universe, he could only remain silent.
A man with hair white as snow was the same. He was the former holy son of Ten Thousand Beginnings Holy Land, now its saint lord. Standing alone in the night wind, he seemed very lonely. They had been of the same generation, but now it felt like ten thousand years had passed. He could only face that brilliant figure, standing as if in the mythological era, with a sense of loss.
"We are no longer young. We have reached the glorious end. But he is just beginning. Such a young Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, a figure who can oppose an Emperor—how many have there been since ancient times?"
All the old acquaintances could only shake their heads and sigh.
At Yao Chi Holy Land, the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, with eyebrows like paintings and an unreal beauty, sat opposite the Nine Orifices Divine Fetus and murmured softly: "Regardless of the past, only in this life, perhaps only you can stand shoulder to shoulder with him in battle."
The immortal stone was crystalline. The divine maiden was still sealed within it, breathing in the essence of heaven and earth. Her powerful life immortal essence nourished the entire sacred land of Yao Chi. Now she could already give back to the holy land, not just for herself.
At the Wind Clan, some were silent. But Wind Phoenix smiled lightly and said: "A Great Accomplishment Sacred Body has emerged. Isn't that good? From now on, the heavens and earth will be peaceful for a long time. There won't be dark turmoil, because those people can't afford to fight—they'll fear him."
"Yes." Her grandfather, still with black hair, tall and imposing, nodded without saying much.
Everyone in the Wind Clan knew that many in their clan had regrets, though they wouldn't say it. In the past, it had been possible to pull the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body into their clan.
They knew they might see Ye Fan soon. He would inevitably come to the Forbidden Zones of Life on Big Dipper, descend with overwhelming force, and seek an explanation.
Thinking of this possibility, everyone's heart trembled. Some young disciples even felt their blood boil. To dare step into the Forbidden Zones of Life and settle accounts with ancient supremes—how many had done so since ancient times? They were all Great Emperors!
Only now did they truly understand how terrifying a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body was. Asking throughout the world, who could be his opponent? He could intimidate the heavenly prodigies throughout the ages.
However, things were not as people imagined.
After recovering his combat power, Ye Fan did not return to Heavenly Court, nor did he go to the Overlord Body Ancestral Star, nor did he come to the Forbidden Zones of Life on Big Dipper.
Stars twinkled. Radiant light receded past him. He did not conceal his aura, startling all the major powers in the starry sky as he headed toward a land of misfortune.
The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, his blood energy piercing the heavens, his thick black hair dancing wildly, his gaze colder than lightning. His first stop was the Underworld, entering a land of ill omen shrouded in yin mist.
The first divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court, Chuan Ying, had fallen. To block the Nether Emperor, he was buried in the Underworld. Ye Fan wanted to see for himself and seek a clear explanation.
Chuan Ying had suppressed the Underworld for a hundred years, buying Ye Fan the most precious time. No matter from which perspective, Ye Fan had to come here.
"Ye Fan has gone to the Underworld!"
When this news spread, all realms were shaken. The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body was going to clash head-on with the most mysterious Underworld since ancient times. This news was absolutely explosive!
This would be Ye Fan's first battle after his Sacred Body reached great accomplishment and his tribulation was complete. It captured the attention of countless people—if not the whole world, then nearly so.
The Underworld was truly mysterious. It arose from death, seizing all creation.
The Nether Emperor was the first—a sovereign-level expert in life, whose physical body transformed after death, attaining the Dao once again!
His origins were mysterious, and his power was unimaginable!
Death energy permeated the air. The netherworld was desolate. This place had been shattered. One star after another had fallen, smashing countless huge craters here.
The netherworld stretched endlessly, like another universe. Death was the eternal theme. The black soil was infinite.
Ye Fan frowned. He saw many shocking scenes. This vast netherworld had no end. Beneath the deep craters made by falling stars were countless corpses, from unknown eras.
He traveled through, crossing endless black lands of misfortune. Everywhere he saw was destruction. Underground, blood rivers and corpses were often visible, along with many coffins.
This place was ruined, destroyed beyond recognition. The Underworld seemed to be heading toward its end. One could imagine how fierce that battle had been.
Ye Fan was surprised. Was Chuan Ying alone so terrifying? Had he truly half-destroyed the Underworld? It was said that more than one supreme slept here.
If the battle had reached such a state, with even the netherworld half-destroyed, the other supremes had no reason not to emerge!
He walked forward and finally saw ghost soldiers. But when these people saw him, they all retreated and did not attack. No matter how powerful they were, they trembled under his aura. How could they dare to fight?
This was the might of a supreme. As long as his blood energy surged, all living beings would tremble. If he slightly released his aura, those powerful ghost generals would shatter.
Everyone retreated. They were like ants looking up at a heavenly dragon, deeply feeling their own insignificance.
One massive monument after another—all were monuments to past glory, recording the eras of the Underworld and the achievements of its masters through the ages. Now they were cracked, stained with blood.
Chuan Ying had fought his way in, battling the Nether Emperor in a fierce struggle, destroying many things in the Underworld.
The territory here was vast and boundless. This could be seen from the countless craters made by falling stars.
The ghost generals were terrified. Facing Ye Fan's arrival, many couldn't bear it and fell to their knees. This wasn't from sincere submission—it was simply the pressure of a supreme's might.
During this time, powerful war slaves appeared, including supreme quasi-emperors. But in the end, they too trembled, unable to approach, shaking with fear.
Ye Fan charged straight into the Underworld, as if entering an unguarded land.
Finally, he reached the Underworld's core area. A magnificent Prison Suppression Hall stood before him. Someone sat on the steps, with traces of blood on their body.
He wore black nether iron battle armor that flowed with dark light. Some places were broken, dripping black blood. In his right hand, he held a war halberd, propped on the ground. Beside his left hand was a black gold shield, placed on the steps.
Ye Fan's heart shook. It seemed that an unimaginable and shocking change had occurred in the Underworld—different from what he had imagined! (To be continued)
