# Chapter 288: Desecration
The people on the ground were all tense, afraid that Ye Fan would make a crazy decision and kill their Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, which would trigger a massive upheaval.
However, they were clearly overthinking things. Although the various Holy Sons were uneasy, they were not terrified; each of them had means of self-protection.
Ye Fan quickly furrowed his brow. It was indeed very difficult for him to kill these people. The force field of the Chaos Stone was too powerful; most of the divine power he struck with would be neutralized.
He possessed the cauldron forged from Primordial Mother Qi, but no one could remain calm about that. It was definitely Wu Zhongtian, Li Heishui, Jiang Huairen, and the others who were completely at ease, not worried at all.
In fact, they were even secretly transmitting sounds to help Ye Fan come up with ideas.
"Brother Ye, why not go big? Throw them all into the furnace and burn them to ashes. Then the entire Eastern Wasteland will have no one to contend with us in the future."
"That's right, I've long been annoyed by these people. Turn them all to ashes in one go and let the various Holy Lands go cry about it."
Ye Fan said nothing. He approached Holy Son Yao Guang, swung his millstone-sized golden palm, and fiercely struck down.
But Holy Son Yao Guang was invulnerable to all techniques. His Holy Light Art unfolded, covering his body like a layer of golden mist, making his defensive power arguably the best among his generation.
"Do we have a grudge?" Holy Son Yao Guang was shaken repeatedly by the blows, but his words remained very calm.
Ye Fan did not speak. He knew this person was extremely terrifying and was determined to obtain his cauldron. He had pursued Ye Fan's tracks multiple times to places like the Cloud-Broken Mountain Range.
In fact, he strongly suspected that the person who had disguised himself as an ancient creature to seize the Phoenix Blood Red Gold back then was not Old Knife Handle, but Holy Son Yao Guang.
Whenever this thought arose, he found Holy Son Yao Guang terrifying beyond measure—someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, even killing his own people without hesitation.
Especially since the other party could remain so calm at this moment; this state of mind was extraordinary. This was definitely a great enemy for the future.
Ye Fan did not say much. He directly opened the furnace, threw Holy Son Yao Guang inside, and slammed the lid shut with a clang, clean and decisive.
"You..."
Below, the people of Yaoguang Holy Land were horrified. They never expected Ye Fan to be so decisive, directly throwing their Holy Son into the divine furnace. Was he planning to burn him to ashes?!
"You've offended the Ji Family, and now you want to make an enemy of our Yaoguang as well?!" the people below shouted.
"Every time the Ji Family hunts me down, your Yaoguang people are always mixed in. You've long been my enemy!" Ye Fan sneered.
"Thump," "Clang," "Bang"...
Inside the Li Fire Divine Furnace, Golden Wing Little Peng King kept roaring lowly, and Holy Son Yao Guang also let out muffled groans, clearly enduring unimaginably high temperatures.
In the Bright Divine Hall, some people tried to rush out, hoping to summon the Supreme Elders of the various great sects to kill Ye Fan. But as soon as they left the hall, they were surrounded by hundreds of large banners, lost their way, and could not break out at all.
This was the array pattern restriction Ye Fan had specially set up when he entered, the same one he had used in the Undying Hall, which could even trap the physical body of an old demon.
The crowd fell into chaos, but there was nothing they could do. They simply could not break out; this place was completely isolated from the outside world.
"I want to know, where did you obtain this furnace?" The future Divine King of the Jiang Family suddenly transmitted a divine thought, their voice impossible to tell if male or female, appearing very mysterious.
"Does it have something to do with your Jiang Family's Sun God Furnace?" Ye Fan suddenly turned his head and looked toward the Jiang Family's Divine Physique, whose entire body was covered in divine iron armor.
"It is very different from the Sun God Furnace I have seen, but it has a similar aura," the Jiang Family's Divine King Physique replied.
Ye Fan did not waste time. He walked straight up to Yao Xi, which immediately made her change color. The enmity between the two of them was too deep.
Yao Xi had a celestial body and jade-like skin, graceful and tall, with a peerless beauty that could topple cities and kingdoms. She possessed both the seductiveness of a demoness and the noble temperament of a Holy Maiden, making her very alluring.
But at this moment, she could not remain calm. The situation was very unfavorable for her.
"You are indeed a beautiful woman, but..." Ye Fan transformed a golden great hand, lifting Yao Xi's chin, almost teasing her.
"Ye Fan, you..." Below, the people of Yaoguang Holy Land were practically boiling over. The Holy Maiden represented purity and was not to be desecrated. Yet Ye Fan was doing such a thing in public.
Everyone else was also tense. Ye Fan was audacious beyond measure. He was definitely not just targeting these few people. The heirs of the various Holy Lands were likely in danger too. He might desecrate all the Holy Lands.
