# Chapter 1746: Saint vs Overlord — The Struggle for Supremacy

"Who dares to tread upon our divine peak—" A furious roar came from the Overlord Ancestral Cave, filled with contempt and humiliation. A giant foot descended from the heavens, trampling directly with such blatant disregard.

With a hum, a precious wheel flew out, gleaming with cold light. At the same time, various array patterns emerged in that place, the Supreme Array reviving, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.

"Boom!"

The precious wheel danced, with six worlds rotating upon it, as if manifesting reality itself, attempting to swallow Ye Fan, possessing boundless divine power.

"Six Paths World, cosmic cycles, suppress!"

From within the Overlord Ancestral Cave, a voice roared, shaking the skies in all directions. That precious wheel was crimson like blood, its aura even more terrifying, emitting sounds of wind and thunder.

Ye Fan stepped down, colliding with the precious wheel. With a clang, the sound was piercing, the universe rumbled, and the Supreme array patterns in this heaven and earth blazed as if burning.

"Six Paths World, connected to the intent of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist..." Ye Fan's expression changed instantly.

It was not fear of the precious wheel's divine might that startled him, but the familiar aura within it—it was formed from living flesh and blood, belonging to a Great Accomplishment Saint Body!

"You've recognized it, haven't you? That's right, it's your lineage's unmatched Sacred Body, who evolved the true meaning of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, and I refined him into a weapon!"

The merciless voice came from the Overlord Ancestral Cave, making this place freezing cold, with killing intent spreading everywhere.

"What a grudge, what an Overlord Ancestral Star. If I don't level you all today, I will end myself here!" Ye Fan swore, his voice deafening, spreading across the high heavens and echoing into the universe.

In distant star systems, supreme beings watched the battle, using Heavenly Eye Penetration and supreme array patterns to capture the scene here, their true bodies not daring to approach.

"Come and try. If I could kill your ancestor, I can kill you." The person in the ancestral cave was extremely domineering, that kind of overbearing arrogance on full display.

The precious wheel spun again, flying back, aiming straight for Ye Fan's brow. Six immortal rays shot forth, representing six ancient worlds, connected by sacred blood, unleashing their ultimate meaning.

Endless laws, boundless divine power, like a sea of stars crashing down.

Ye Fan's gaze blazed. Although this weapon was terrifying, he could clearly hear a soul weeping—the artifact spirit within the weapon, acting against its will.

It was a weapon soul born from the flesh and blood of a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, unwilling to be like this but enslaved nonetheless.

Ye Fan's expression grew even colder. This was unforgivable. The enemy was using an ancient ancestor of the Sacred Body lineage to humiliate him. Such a confrontation made his fury burn the heavens, scorching the sky and earth.

"Be released. I will set you free, break the shackles!"

Ye Fan said. His entire body erupted with immortal light, battle qi surging, his combat power continuously rising. His divine phenomena merged into one—this time not a human form, but a mass of chaos.

Boom!

Ye Fan let out a great roar. Ripples shot into the sky. Great stars burst apart one after another, turning to powder. The moon and others had long since fallen and been destroyed.

This was like an Immortal King—nothing could stop him. With one roar, the star river collapsed. Just how powerful was this?

Ye Fan's divine phenomena merged, hazy and indistinct. There were Immortal Kings, divine seas, yin-yang fish... emitting chaotic qi, not taking human form, only a blurry heaven and earth, chaotic light swirling, swallowing the precious wheel inside.

He shook violently. Cracking sounds came. The Six Paths Precious Wheel developed countless cracks, then disintegrated, exploding there.

A spirit rushed out, tears of blood on its face. It nodded to him, then burned to ashes in the void, finally finding release.

Hum!

Ye Fan slapped forward. He struck out in fury, feeling the grief of that spirit before its disappearance—the blood and remnant soul of a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, fallen to such a state.

"How dare you!"

Two voices shouted from the ancestral cave, fully activating divine principles to block him.

However, without their true bodies emerging, this was useless. Ye Fan's slap landed on the divine peak. Although there were Supreme array patterns here, protecting this place like an indestructible immortal iron barrel, this strike still took effect. Ye Fan struck with rage. The array patterns were worn away, the divine mountain cracked, and the peak flew off directly, exploding in midair.

The mountain body was broken off at a section, looking very unsightly.

All living beings on the Overlord Ancestral Star trembled, panicking. That divine mountain was the spiritual symbol of their people, never to be desecrated, yet now it had been broken by someone.

It was as if the sky had collapsed and crashed down. For them, this was a monumental event, like an apocalyptic disaster descending.

In the ancestral cave, the Great Accomplishment Overlords were naturally furious. This was like slapping them in the face, destroying their ancestral land before their eyes—too arrogant and overbearing.

"Kill!"

Supreme divine principles shot out, transforming into heaven-shattering divine blades, slashing at Ye Fan. It was terrifying—the ultimate expression of laws, turning into eternal radiance, destroying all forms.

Ye Fan opened his mouth and let out a clear cry. The primordial qi he spat out formed a Dao diagram, directly blocking those divine principles, grinding them away between heaven and earth.

Boom!

He reached out again, slapping toward the mountain peak, intending to demolish this place. He shouted: "Two ground rats, let's see how long you can hide. I'll tear down your nest!"

The faces of the Supremes in the ancestral cave turned ashen. Who dared to call them ground rats? This humiliation was too excessive, stirring their emotions.

"Today, this old man will risk it all and emerge to fight you!" From the Overlord Ancestral Cave, a vast divine thought transmitted. Someone broke through the seal, like a sun burning, charging into the sky.

Boom!

Immortal Source exploded. He broke the seal and appeared. This was a helpless move—there was no other choice. If their true bodies did not manifest, they certainly could not stop Ye Fan, and this place would be destroyed.

But once they left the Immortal Source and experienced a fierce battle, for those with little remaining lifespan like them, it was truly too dangerous. It would be difficult to survive this era peacefully.

Even, after the battle, death awaited.

"Let's go, fight in the starry sky!" The Great Accomplishment Overlord Xuan Ming soared into the sky, directly entering the starry void. He feared that a battle of this level would turn this star to dust.

There were many layers of Supreme array patterns protecting this place, but if the battle continued, it would inevitably be destroyed, just like the stars Ye Fan had roared to pieces, ceasing to exist.

Ye Fan also did not want to harm all living beings, did not want to annihilate every creature on this star. He soared into the high heavens, entered the cosmos, to battle the Overlord Xuan Ming.

"Young man, you are very strong, rare throughout the ages. But this world is not as you think. Sometimes, no matter how strong your strength, it is still a tragic song."

The Great Accomplishment Overlord Xuan Ming took out a precious bottle, uncorked it, and poured into his mouth—it was fresh blood, crimson rays shooting into the sky. But there was very little left, and he drank it all in one gulp.

Ye Fan's brows shot up. The aura of that blood was the same as the precious wheel's, originating from the same person—a Great Accomplishment Saint Body.

"Form the array!"

Xuan Ming roared. From the crown of his head, seventy-two cold rays shot out, inserted into the star domain. They were terrifying immortal sword array patterns, directly blotting out the sky, flooding this place.

"Group Character Art!"

Ye Fan was startled. He had suffered greatly when fighting the Nine Heavenly Venerables and was no stranger to such array patterns.

"It is a weapon refined using the Group Character Art, correct. But there is still some difference, lacking some immortal patterns." Xuan Ming corrected, but he seemed completely unafraid regardless.

Unfortunately, this was a forbidden artifact, with limited uses, refined using secret methods. Over so many years, they had never been able to truly replicate the complete Group Character Art.

"If you truly survive this, I'll accept it!" The Great Accomplishment Overlord Xuan Ming said mercilessly. With a rustling sound, another one hundred and eight heavenly blades flew out from his Wheel Sea, arranged externally, supplementing the missing parts of the array displayed by the Group Character Art.

The later array patterns were the supreme formation of the Overlord lineage. The two combined together were absolutely infinitely powerful, leaving no chance of survival.

"Is this the method you used to kill the Sacred Body back then?" Ye Fan asked.

"No. As a strong person at our level, naturally soaring and dominating the heavens, I defeated him head-on." The Great Accomplishment Overlord Xuan Ming said.

Some past achievements were truthfully recorded, others had long been worn away by history. Since he said so, with the pride of a Supreme, it was unlikely there was any exaggeration.

"In that case, I will break you and kill you using the methods of the Sacred Body lineage!" Ye Fan said coldly.

"Boom!"

This battle erupted. Ye Fan's entire body blazed, burning fiercely. He charged within the formation. The Stride Art allowed him to reach the extreme, traveling through space.

Divine phenomena burst forth, transforming into an undying Heavenly Emperor, advancing side by side with him, crushing the formation, weapons, array patterns, etc. At the same time, a cauldron flew out from above his head, cascading endless Mother Qi, irresistible, destroying the great formation.

Ye Fan was like a ferocious dragon breaking free from its cage, dominating everything, traversing the formation, fighting until the heavens and earth split, the sun and moon lost their light, and stars exploded.

This battle shocked the entire universe. Existences in every Forbidden Zone of Life awakened, because the impact was too great. The aura and fluctuations of Supremes swept across the cosmos.

But this time, no strong beings from the Forbidden Zones emerged en masse, because they knew Ye Fan had reached Great Perfection. Killing him would be very difficult, only wasting their own essence.

This was a true Great Accomplishment Saint Body appearing, battling the strongest Supreme of the ancient Heaven-Dominating Bloodline lineage. It was a dragon-tiger struggle, intensely fierce.

Xuan Ming's strength was beyond doubt. He had real achievements in the past, killing his opponent through pure strength, unlike the previous Overlord Cang Lan who had encountered an aged Sacred Body.

Unfortunately, the glory of the Overlord Bloodline seemed limited to these few battles. Going further back in ancient times, their confrontations with the Sacred Body had little to boast about.

The battle continued. Ye Fan was irresistible, ultimately shattering the forbidden artifact with sheer force, using the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist to clash head-on with the Overlord, shaking him until he vomited blood.

"How is it?" Ye Fan demanded.

"Not enough. I'm still not dead!" The Great Accomplishment Overlord Xuan Ming shouted, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His entire body blazed, purple qi shooting into the sky. He swept his tail like a purple dragon, sending Ye Fan flying.

The battle continued. Blood blossoms also splattered from Ye Fan's body, but nothing serious.

"Hum!"

Suddenly, the void trembled. Another Supreme aura erupted. A purple fist shattered the universe, appearing abruptly, striking toward the back of Ye Fan's head.

"Kill!"

The Mother Qi of All Things above Ye Fan's head cascaded down. The precious cauldron flew over, striking that fist, erupting with soaring immortal light.

Another Great Accomplishment Overlord, Kun Gu, appeared—the last one. Cang Lan was dead. The original fourth person had also fallen many tens of thousands of years ago, unable to withstand the erosion of time.

"Even if the two of you come together, it's useless!" Ye Fan roared.

His divine phenomena burst forth. The Heavenly Emperor form appeared again, then merged with his main body, causing his essence, energy, and spirit to surge, becoming supremely powerful.

This was no longer purely divine phenomena. He had evolved it to the ultimate realm, becoming part of his body, merging and integrating with him.

"Arrogant!" Kun Gu said coldly, holding a great halberd. He was truly a reincarnation of the Overlord, brave beyond compare in heaven and earth. With one halberd strike, the starry sky split in half, and great destruction occurred.

This was a fierce battle. Ye Fan alone faced two Great Accomplishment Overlords, fighting until the sun and moon were extinguished, the star river turned to ash. They killed from one domain to another. Along the way, countless star fragments appeared, large swaths of the star sea shattered, the universe scarred and battered, unbearable to behold.

No one knew how long passed. A miserable roar came. One Great Accomplishment Overlord was shattered into four or five pieces by Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor Fist, his weapon also broken.

The Overlord roared, reorganizing his true body. But Ye Fan pursued, avoiding the other Great Accomplishment Overlord's attack, then tore him apart alive again, reveling in the Overlord blood!

This scene shocked everyone. Even the supreme existences in the Forbidden Zones felt a chill.
