# Chapter 1794: No Opponent
The Upper Firmament fell silent, thus swept clean!
Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back, towering above, his black hair scattered, his robes stained with the blood of supremes. Having slain four in a single day, this was undoubtedly a brilliant and terrifying achievement.
"Master, the Primordial Ancient Mine cannot be found anywhere," Ye Tong returned to report to him.
Ye Fan nodded. Destroying the Upper Firmament was enough. Eliminating one forbidden zone today sufficed. The remaining source of calamity could be slowly sought out and dealt with.
Nine dragon veins stretched across, truly dragon-shaped, like true dragons raising their heads and roaring, about to leap into the nine heavens and charge into the Immortal Domain.
"Why does it look so similar?" Ye Fan stood in the Upper Firmament, having observed for a long time. This mountain range terrain was rarely seen throughout the ages.
The most incredible thing was naturally the island behind—a divine island shaped like a coffin, formed naturally, connected to the nine dragon veins.
He had already carefully observed. This was a product of nature, not an artificial arrangement. It was truly a masterpiece of nature, awe-inspiring.
"Perhaps this is the prototype of a coffin. In ancient times, someone used this as a model to create coffins," Dao Yi spoke.
This conclusion was somewhat amusing, but no one could laugh, because this place was a relic from the Chaotic Ancient Era, predating the Mythological Era, more ancient than all civilizations in this world.
At the center of the coffin-shaped island was an ancient cave. Immortal qi swirled, rising upward, surrounded by radiant light, appearing mysterious and strange.
Ye Fan and the others searched here. This place had endured countless great tribulations throughout the ages, as if it were a divine land that had buried the heavens. However, the ancient cave was already empty, leaving nothing behind.
There was an undying aura here that could slow the flow of time, or rather, a longevity qi that could grant vitality, preventing premature decay.
"No wonder it became a lair for forbidden zones. Truly a precious land," Ye Fan sighed softly. What startled him was that he saw some traces on the ground. Using his heart to measure and comprehend, he then felt a chill.
The size and shape were similar to the ancient bronze coffin he had once seen and entered. This was astonishing. Ye Fan stared blankly. Had that coffin once lain here? And then departed?
He immediately executed that secret technique from the Vedic Sutra, tracing back to the origin, hoping to see the truth. Unfortunately, he failed, because many supremes had once slept here, erasing all causal heavenly secrets.
Everyone showed strange expressions. This place was truly peculiar. Carefully sensing it, there was faintly a trace of immortal dao law aura, slowing the aging of life.
"Unfathomable, unclear. That mysterious Chaotic Ancient Era is truly awe-inspiring," Black Emperor sighed.
In the end, they moved the Upper Firmament, also known as Burial Heaven Island, back to the Heavenly Court, making it another astonishing courtyard, allowing Old Madman and Human Demon to dwell in seclusion there.
The Upper Firmament was destroyed. This news shook the great universe. The might of Ye the Heavenly Emperor thundered across the human realm, brilliant to the extreme, with no one daring to contend anymore.
"Master, are you unharmed?"
When everything calmed down, Little Pine asked worriedly.
"There is a bit of dao injury, but it won't trouble me. Rest assured," Ye Fan said. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away with his hand, the palm very bright red.
"This..." Everyone looked over, even more worried.
"Rest assured. If there were really a problem, would I have made such a big move in the Upper Firmament? This won't affect anything," Ye Fan smiled.
Then he cautioned everyone not to blindly pursue combat power, to avoid being too fierce and leaving hidden ailments, otherwise they would flare up sooner or later.
Ye Fan sighed. This dao injury was a root cause left long ago. Back then, at the Saint King realm, he had constantly coughed blood and been sickly. Later, when he broke through to the Great Saint realm, it seemed suppressed and no longer troubled him.
But this time, when he broke through the suppression of ten thousand daos and became a Heavenly Emperor, that small flaw became a root of calamity, fully erupting and collapsing, leading to his current injury.
If it were anyone else, they would have long since perished in both form and spirit.
This was a Heavenly Emperor wound, related to the suppression of ten thousand daos and the phantom of an immortal. No one knew what kind of severe trauma he had suffered while crossing the tribulation, barely making it through.
However, the dao injury could not stop him. It was truly suppressed, showing signs of improvement. This also demonstrated his profound cultivation!
Immortal Mountain, Divine Ruins, Upper Firmament—such forbidden zones had become courtyards of the Heavenly Court. Truly awe-inspiring through the ages. Who could compare? After several battles, no one in the world could contend with him.
A hundred years passed swiftly. Ye Fan was over two thousand nine hundred years old. Some people in the Heavenly Court had truly aged, showing signs of fatigue.
Time was merciless, not shifting according to human will. It would cut down everything. Even the greatest life would reach its end one day.
"Grandpa Human Demon, Grandpa Old Madman... they are about to pass," one day, Yang Xi came to the cliff of Immortal Mountain with a heavy heart to report to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan sighed, "If there is truly no way, I will seal them all."
"But they disagree. They are unwilling to take the immortality pill, only wishing to end naturally. Especially Grandpa Human Demon, who was sealed since the Primordial Era and has long grown weary of it," Yang Xi said.
Ye Fan stood up, silent and wordless. He looked toward the horizon, filled with sorrow. The path to longevity was so difficult to walk. Time waited for no one. He had not yet made key progress, yet those around him were leaving one after another.
More than ten years later, Human Demon and Old Madman successively reached the end of their lives, smiling as they fell asleep in the ancient cave of the Upper Firmament.
The autumn wind swept through, yellow leaves fluttered. This autumn was exceptionally cold, chilling even the heart.
Fine raindrops fell. The Heavenly Court was filled with grief. People deeply missed the two elders. This deep autumn was full of sorrow. "No matter how great the inheritance, there is a day it ends. No matter how brilliant the era, there is a day it concludes. Who in this world can avoid death? Let you be a peerless prodigy, let you be unparalleled in grace, in the end, you are nothing but a handful of yellow earth."
This year, this autumn, left an indelible sadness.
Time flowed. In the blink of an eye, over a thousand years passed. Ye Fan was four thousand years old. The peak of life had arrived. At this moment, his dao injury did not manifest. His blood energy was like an ocean. With a single thought, he could shatter the nine heavens. Invincible throughout heaven and earth!
The name of the Heavenly Emperor shook the universe. There were no more opponents.
The Heavenly Court reached its ultimate glory. Not to mention that no power in the current era could contend with it, even looking through the ages, few rivals could be found.
Now, it almost recreated the glory of the Emperor Venerable era at the end of the Mythological Era!
The Divine Organization merged in. The White-Haired Ancestral God led his people to join. All because of the existence of the Divine Child, which made them recognize the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Court.
The Divine Child was again sealed by Ye Fan in Immortal Source, hoping he would shine brilliantly in the future, not in this era. Now, Ye Fan's dharma power was unmatched. He could refine all kinds of source liquids, lacking no such divine treasures.
"I, Yufeng Great Emperor, will return one day!" This little fatty named himself, the meaning obvious—he wanted to stand at the peak of the universe.
The Dao Palace organization no longer existed either. The three giants—the Woodcutter Old Man, the Yellow-Toothed Old Man, and the Bearded Strongman—all passed away one after another. Before dying, they left all their people to Ye Fan.
The Yellow-Toothed Old Man's little granddaughter was sealed in Divine Source. She was a stunning little girl. In the past, people had always thought she was a boy. She was placed with great expectations. Otherwise, that old man wouldn't have said back then to let her deal with the Chaos Body and the egg under the heavenly blade.
At four thousand years old, Ye Fan stood at the pinnacle of the human path, hard to find a defeat!
But he had regrets in his heart. He had been striving for so many years, wanting to comprehend the method of longevity, constantly exploring and seeking. But how easy was that to talk about!
Things had come to this. Only he himself could take that step first, then turn back to save everyone. One elder after another passed away, filling his heart with sorrow.
"Boom!"
This day, a fluctuation came from the depths of an unknown star domain. Others might not sense it, but Ye Fan's eyes snapped open.
The next moment, Ye Fan descended outside the Big Dipper, watching a piece of chaotic immortal soil break open. There, great tribulations continued endlessly. Thunderous light surged, shattering even that ancient immortal soil. Immortal light flew out.
The thunder was very strong, but that wasn't the key. For Ye Fan, it was nothing. What was surprising was that immortal qi overflowed from within, very rare.
The next moment, he knew who this person was. His calm heart stirred. Joy appeared on his face. He stepped over in one stride.
"Ah, it hurts like hell! Your grandpa's heavenly tribulation, will it ever end?"
"It hurts! Damn heaven, go easy! I still want to live a few more years. Finally escaped, crossing a quasi-emperor tribulation. Do you want to split me to death?"
"Damn, you're getting cocky now. Little master is annoyed. If you don't finish soon, I... I... will really be finished." This person clearly lacked confidence.
Ye Fan smiled. This person still had the same personality, big-mouthed as ever. Even while crossing the tribulation, he kept chattering endlessly. Truly a big loudmouth.
"Please, heaven, be gentle. Come on, kill me with gentleness. Please don't be so violent." A person with torn skin, covered in blood and electric light, jumped up and down, howling continuously.
That person was Tu Fei, who had disappeared for nearly four thousand years, only now appearing. Back then, at the North Pole, Ye Fan had already found him, but after parting, he was never seen again.
He seemed to have vanished from heaven and earth, without a trace.
Even Ye Fan, with all his deductions, found nothing, unable to locate him. He never expected him to reappear today while crossing the quasi-emperor tribulation.
"Woof, that person is... that kid I lost?" Big Black Dog also came, a bit guilty.
When Ye Fan left the Heavenly Court, they were all startled, because he hadn't stepped out of Immortal Mountain for a thousand years. So they all followed.
"Tu Fei..." Li Heishui shouted excitedly, tears streaming down. Of the little bandits from back then, only two or three remained.
Pang Bo laughed heartily, both excited and emotional. "Parted for over three thousand years, we can still drink together. This feeling of reunion is truly wonderful."
"I missed you all so much! You're all still alive, awooo..." Tu Fei shouted, like a wolf. He had been stifled for so many years.
"Be careful crossing the tribulation!" Ye Fan reminded.
With such a group here, naturally, there would be no problems. He smoothly advanced, becoming a quasi-emperor.
He quickly rushed over, embracing everyone, his face covered in tears, but he was laughing heartily, crying and laughing at the same time.
"Damn, after crossing the tribulation, you don't even have clothes on. I'm male, let go!" Dragon Horse shouted.
Everyone laughed heartily.
When he hugged Big Black Dog, Tu Fei's eyes immediately stood up, almost wanting to eat someone, gritting his teeth.
"Benefactor has matters to attend to. You all chat. I'll go first." Big Black Dog slunk away, wanting to escape, for the first time so lacking in confidence.
"Stop right there!" Tu Fei grabbed its tail and wouldn't let go.
"Male to male, no touching. Let go!" Black Emperor's bronze bell-like eyes rolled around, finally squeezing out such a heaven-shaking, ghost-weeping sentence.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Tu Fei's reunion with everyone was naturally joyful. He began to recount his experiences over so many years. (To be continued.)
