# Chapter 1751: Battle Against a Heavenly Venerable
The aura of a Supreme Being's sublimation was spreading, becoming terrifyingly many times stronger!
Ye Fan's gaze burst with light—now was the time. He rapidly urged the cauldron, frantically elevating his combat power.
An ancient Supreme Being had self-severed with a single slash. To return to their peak, they must undergo extreme sublimation. During this process, a negligible flaw would manifest.
This was the issue Ye Fan had been pondering, often lost in bitter contemplation and deduction. That opportunity was difficult to grasp, but not impossible to capture—it was theoretically feasible.
Over these years, while comprehending the Dao, he had nearly exhausted his mental energy. In those departed hundred years, in that enlightenment state that felt like ten thousand years, he had been continuously deducing, spending boundless effort, all to thoroughly study that battle opportunity.
Today, from the moment the battle began, he had been preparing. Standing within the Divine Seal domain, he activated the All Secret, waiting with a calm heart. The instant the battle opportunity appeared, his attack power increased tenfold, and the Imperial Dao laws boiled!
Heaven and earth seemed on the verge of collapse—no longer cosmos, no longer universe—first transforming into a black hole, then becoming a chaotic land. Terrifying aura flowed, laws annihilating the world.
Ye Fan struck mercilessly, attacking the person before him, becoming terrifyingly ten times stronger!
"ROAR..."
A dragon's cry resounded through heaven and earth. An azure true dragon flew out from the cauldron's wall, enormous and mighty, its massive body coiling through the universe, charging toward the Immortal Tear Green Gold Vase and Yun Gen ahead.
And this was only one corner. Various other divine spirits of the Immortal Domain appeared simultaneously.
Radiant light by the billions filled the universe—the Immortal Phoenix dancing through the nine heavens, the fierce tiger pouncing across the star river, and the Black Tortoise churning in the cosmic sea.
Infinite immortal spirits manifested one after another, colliding with the blazing light ahead, erupting into the most terrifying energy storm. The entire great universe trembled.
"AH..."
Yun Gen roared. He knew that at the moment of sublimation, a weakness would appear—when fully elevating, defense dropped to its lowest, vulnerable to interruption. But he didn't believe Ye Fan could capture it.
Yet now, his expression changed. This was so sudden, arriving so quickly. Ye Fan had precisely seized his flaw, charging in like a primordial ferocious beast.
Heaven and earth shook. The Supreme Beings in several forbidden zones all changed expression.
The cauldron transformed into an Immortal Domain. Ten thousand spirits surged, all roaring—true dragons, white tigers, vermilion birds, snakes—all pouncing together to tear him apart.
And at the very center was Ye Fan's true body, transformed into a Heavenly Emperor, surrounded by azure dragons, supported by divine phoenixes, tall and majestic, impossible to look up to, charging in with such domineering force.
These attacks were originally tenfold stacked. This was the ultimate strike. Everyone was shaken, including the supreme existences watching from the forbidden zones of life.
"BOOM!"
A supreme collision erupted. The Primordial Qi Cauldron and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Vase clashed, annihilating time and space. The Immortal Domain struck the Great Dao Divine Vase.
And Ye Fan's striking fist blasted into Yun Gen's body. This was practically a killing strike. In that fleeting instant, Ye Fan had seized the opportunity.
Yun Gen roared, flying sideways. His chest bones snapped, blood blossoms exploding across heaven and earth. Moreover, his brow was grazed by another imperial fist, his forehead bone shattered. The sublimating primordial spirit burned as if doused in oil, blazing fiercely.
Everyone was stunned. Had Yun Gen been killed just like that? His primordial spirit was ignited!
BOOM!
Heaven and earth shook, star domains trembled wildly. Ye Fan's killing techniques came in succession—there was no way he would stop here. This was only the beginning, just an opening move.
He streaked across the sky like a star, swift and fierce. With a raise of his hand, wind and clouds shifted, the universe changed color. His right hand transformed into the Supreme Emperor Sword, his left hand into the Void Mirror.
Ye Fan's right hand, the Supreme Emperor Sword, chopped down vertically, advancing without hesitation. The great dragon blade split the universe, nearly cutting Yun Gen's body in two, erupting a large spray of blood mist.
Ye Fan's left hand, the Void Mirror, swept across the sky. Mirror light like divine radiance shone upon Yun Gen's Immortal Platform, seeking to destroy his primordial spirit, reducing it completely to ashes.
At the same time, he stepped forward using his self-created Eight-Step Dao-Annihilating Supreme Divine Art. With each step, a thousand small worlds were created, colliding together, all exploding simultaneously.
Chaos surged violently, immortal light flickered. Nothing in the world was more brilliant than this. Ye Fan, having gained the upper hand, showed no mercy, unleashing a storm of attacks in succession.
A divine phenomenon had already manifested. This time, it didn't transform into a Heavenly Emperor form—just a small chaotic world, seeking to trap Yun Gen inside and completely grind him to pieces.
"KILL!"
Ye Fan fought to the point of madness, using his divine phenomenon to grind forward. His Source Heaven Immortal Eye opened wide, shooting auspicious light, slashing at the burning primordial spirit.
Yun Gen suffered heavy blows. Even with an imperial body, he was still beaten until his body was broken and tattered, blood staining the long sky.
But it must be said—the imperial body was too terrifying. Even as powerful as the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, whose physical body was unmatched in the world, it still hadn't completely destroyed him.
Because the imperial body possessed unparalleled regenerative power. The pierced chest and shattered forehead bone would automatically heal, immortal light overflowing in all directions.
Ye Fan roared wildly, unleashing all kinds of secret techniques, boundless magical power, all acting upon the opponent's body. There was no more violent and domineering attack than this.
Yun Gen faced calamity. The extreme sublimation had gone awry. He was in the most dangerous situation, letting the primordial spirit fire boil for the final leap. Yet in that instant, so many unexpected things occurred.
"BOOM!"
Ye Fan's attack became violent, displaying heaven-overshadowing divine might. He shattered the enemy's body, blood dripping everywhere, even punching a fist-sized bloody hole in his head.
But Yun Gen reorganized again!
All of this happened in an instant, too fast for anyone to react.
Because this kind of battle opportunity was fleeting, just a point in the fragments of time. Even for experts of this level, it was extremely difficult to grasp.
"AH..."
Yun Gen shouted loudly, his already tattered body flying away, breaking free from Ye Fan's divine phenomenon. His flesh and primordial spirit burning, he tore through the universe, escaping the pursuit.
In the first round, he had suffered greatly, but he had finally escaped from that battle rhythm.
At this moment, heaven and earth fell silent. Yun Gen stood there covered in blood, yet he wasn't enraged, didn't roar. His expression was as cold as a glacier, restoring himself to the calmest state.
The entire universe was shocked. The scene just now was too terrifying. Ye Fan had actually suppressed an Imperial Dao expert, beating him, nearly destroying him, shattering his flesh, splitting his primordial spirit.
This result was too terrifying, making everyone draw in cold breaths.
Even the existences in the Big Dipper forbidden zones of life fell silent, one by one staring through the ancient void at this place, wanting to see clearly.
The battle process just now had sounded an alarm for them—they truly couldn't be careless. That tiny flaw during the extreme sublimation process could actually invite lethal disaster.
Everyone pondered deeply. This flaw must be sealed, otherwise being killed like this would be too unjust.
"Just a little more, and he would have beaten an Imperial Dao ancient Supreme Being to death!"
"Yes, he almost succeeded. Too terrifying. Pressing down on a supreme Imperial Dao expert and killing him—the Great Accomplishment Saint Body contending with an Emperor is indeed not just empty talk!"
At this moment, winds moved in all directions. Everyone was stunned. This result was shocking. Yun Gen had almost faced great calamity just now!
"I underestimated you. Ruthless enough, strong enough. You grasped the opportunity very accurately. Unfortunately, you were still a little short." Yun Gen said, his words as cold as ice peaks.
"It doesn't matter. This is just the beginning. There will be plenty of opportunities. We'll take it slowly." Ye Fan said calmly.
Yun Gen's flesh healed at an astonishing speed. This was the invincible imperial body. Without needing to deliberately do anything, the damage he had suffered had already disappeared. His body emitted precious light, recovering completely.
The primordial spirit fire reaching the heavens hadn't been extinguished—that was intentional on his part. To undergo extreme sublimation, he needed to make the final leap from the Immortal Platform. It wasn't as many speculated—that his primordial spirit was damaged and couldn't be saved.
Yun Gen inverted the Immortal Tear Green Gold Vase, pouring out a drop of crystalline liquid that shimmered with seven-colored immortal light, brilliant and dazzling.
"The last drop of Nine-Turn Immortal Liquid." Yun Gen sighed, swallowing it. Even though he appeared unharmed, he had still damaged his vital energy.
The ultimate battle erupted. The two charged toward each other, never stopping until death, fighting until the vast universe trembled, time fragments flying in all directions.
In the subsequent battle, Ye Fan several times interfered with Yun Gen, causing his sublimation to fail. But it was difficult to harm him like the first time again.
Yun Gen was on guard, not giving him the opportunity. That final flaw was sealed.
The final result was unavoidable. Yun Gen succeeded in sublimation. At this moment, the aura of the Great Dao covered the heavens, vast and endless, brilliant and boundless, filling the entire universe.
Ye Fan faced the most terrifying battle of his life. He could only go all out. In this battle, there was no retreat—only success!
Without a doubt, throughout the entire process, the All Secret was continuously activated. At this level, the triggering success rate was extremely high, lasting for a long time, allowing Ye Fan to reach a peak extreme of this life.
He wasn't a true Dao-achiever; there were still imperfections. But after all, on that day when he crossed the tribulation, he had also probed more than half his body in. Now, with the All Secret assisting, his combat power increased tenfold, allowing him to battle the ancient emperor Yun Gen.
Heaven shattered, earth split. Ghosts wailed, gods howled!
This process was extremely tragic. Even as powerful as Ye Fan's current physical body, it was shattered several times, beaten into blood mist by Yun Gen, broken bones like gravel, too miserable to behold.
A true Great Emperor was unstoppable. Even if already aged, they were still invincible under heaven!
Ye Fan roared, fiercely resisting, vigorously counterattacking. Various secret techniques were added to his body. The Battle Character Art struck out, supplemented by Ruthless Person's Soaring Immortal Force, etc. With tenfold combat power stacked, he also shattered the opponent several times.
Whenever Ye Fan's All Secret failed, it was his most dangerous moment. The tragic result of being ground to powder mostly occurred at these times, being torn apart by the imperial body, extremely bloody.
This battle was the most bitter Ye Fan had ever experienced. They fought for over ten thousand exchanges, several times approaching danger and facing complete annihilation of form and spirit.
Of course, the opponent also encountered major trouble, being blasted apart several times by Ye Fan. Even his distant divine spirit was almost caught in Ye Fan's hands, barely escaping in the nick of time.
What surprised Ye Fan was that the opponent was still using other people's scripture techniques, deliberately concealing, not wanting to expose himself.
In this bloody battle, Ye Fan deeply felt the terror of a Great Emperor. The Great Accomplishment Saint Body could truly only contend verbally—strictly speaking, in the end, he would die in battle.
And he also realized the heaven-defying nature of the All Secret!
It was the existence of this secret that allowed him to fight until now. This was the fundamental reason he could forcefully battle an ancient emperor. Otherwise, he might truly be in danger!
"The All Secret of Emperor Venerable is indeed unmatched, but that doesn't mean it's invincible!" Yun Gen said. His entire body emitted strange light, the aura of the Nine Secrets erupting.
"What?" Ye Fan was shocked. The All Secret among the Nine Secrets was actually created by Emperor Venerable? No wonder it was so heaven-defying!
"The last of the Nine Heavenly Venerables, after living a second life, changed his title to Emperor Venerable. Few in the world know this, but as someone from the Mythological Era, how could I not know?"
Yun Gen said coldly, his entire body glowing, erupting with a terrifying aura. Divine patterns imprinted across the entire universe. Ye Fan immediately knew which secret this was, extremely shocked, his expression grave to the extreme.
"I really didn't want to expose myself." Yun Gen muttered to himself.
Among the seven forbidden zones, two ancient places erupted with terrifying aura. Beams of light shook the heavens, vibrating the universe, and terrible voices came forth.
"So it's you. Still alive. There's a debt to settle with you!"
"In that year when I achieved the Dao, it was you who came to seize fortune. Unimaginable—you haven't died yet!"
The voices from the forbidden zones made all the great clans of the universe tremble.
