Chapter 417: Indestructible Golden Body
Xia Jiuyou's black gold battle suit gleamed like ink jade, the cold black metal having blocked a fatal blow that would otherwise have severed him in two.
His hair flew wildly, his face flushed red as he pointed his black immortal sword at Ye Fan, too furious to speak, boundless killing intent radiating outward.
Ye Fan had split open the small world and sent Xia Jiuyou flying, truly shocking everyone. If not for the indestructible black gold battle suit, this stunningly beautiful youth would have been in grave danger.
"The Nine Nether Immortal Melody has been broken..."
Everyone stared with wide eyes. That was a Dao sound born from the spiritual sublimation of a peerless expert, capable of grinding away all tangible things in the world.
"What formidable combat power!"
The Nine Nether Immortal Melody was a Dao pattern inscribed by predecessors, not something Xia Jiuyou had comprehended himself, but the fact that Ye Fan had broken it by swinging the great black sword still sent chills down everyone's spines.
"I will drain every drop of your sacred blood!" Xia Jiuyou's killing intent filled the air as he pointed his black immortal sword at Ye Fan.
"Show me whatever other tricks you have." Ye Fan faced him, his great black sword slanting toward the southern sky.
Xia Jiuyou quickly calmed down. His black gold battle suit sparkled, making him appear ethereal and otherworldly. He said coldly, "Sacred Body, you've angered me. I will seal you forever!"
His entire body blazed with divine radiance, the battle suit shimmering brilliantly. The black immortal sword in his hand seemed to come alive, its sword light flickering unpredictably as killing intent soared to the heavens.
"Buzz!"
Xia Jiuyou vanished from his spot, imprinting himself high in the sky, merging with the void itself. Like a deity, he swung the black immortal sword downward.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Ten thousand swords sang in unison. Thousands upon thousands of sword beams rained down like a meteor shower, each dazzling beam capable of piercing through a cultivator in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
He possessed unmatched combat power among the younger generation. Even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes would meet their end against him, unable to withstand his terrifying sword beams.
Ye Fan swept his great black sword horizontally, producing a cacophony of clanging sounds like a million armies clashing. Sword energy crisscrossed, divine light soared, and the sky seemed to be torn open.
Xia Jiuyou was wielding the Great Dao!
He had merged with heaven and earth, his Dao following nature itself. This had long surpassed the realm of technique, rising to the domain of the Dao. With each swing of his black immortal sword, a Dao diagram descended.
Everyone was stunned. This was truly a heaven-defying prodigy. No wonder he dared to speak arrogantly—he indeed had the capital to look down on the world.
His comprehension of the Dao was so profound that it shamed many senior figures. One sword, one Dao diagram—what kind of concept was that?!
The power of a single sword could split heaven and earth, and every one of his strikes was like this. No visible sword light, only Dao diagrams falling, their terrifying pressure making souls tremble.
Such sword Dao was too terrifying. Each sword could kill a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes, sending chills down the spines of even those in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.
A heaven-defying prodigy!
This was the thought that arose in everyone's mind simultaneously. For someone of this age to have such cultivation was too shocking. How many among the younger generation could contend with him?
"Could he be Gai Jiuyou reincarnated? They both possess the same mysterious and terrifying constitution."
"Eight thousand years ago, Gai Jiuyou was invincible under heaven. He must have been no more than this in his youth!"
...
Everyone's hearts were filled with shock.
"Boom!"
Like a flood striking the heavens, like an ocean surging, Ye Fan swung the great black sword. His movements were not fast, slowly tracing through the sky. The heavy sword had no edge, yet it could cut through the firmament.
This was a confrontation with the Great Dao, a contest with Xia Jiuyou's sword Dao!
"Boom!"
Heaven and earth shook. The great black sword Ye Fan pushed forward carried earth-shattering force, destroying all obstacles. Though it moved slowly, it was unstoppable.
At this moment, the Immortal King Overlooking the Nine Heavens divine phenomenon merged with him, granting inconceivable power. He slashed through the innate Dao diagrams, unstoppable and indestructible.
In the sky, the Great Dao was like an abyss, unfathomably deep. Xia Jiuyou, united with heaven and man, wielded his black immortal sword to trace the trajectory of the Dao, endless and never exhausted.
If Xia Jiuyou represented the will of heaven and earth, incarnating as the Dao itself, then Ye Fan was acting against heaven, breaking the Dao with pure force, cutting down all obstacles.
Xia Jiuyou's one sword, one Dao diagram, stunned everyone. No matter how many Four Extremes Great Perfection cultivators came, they would not be enough for him to kill. Yet Ye Fan withstood them all, equally shocking.
"Refine the body to resemble the Dao form..."
Xia Jiuyou chanted softly, his words like Dao sounds echoing through heaven and earth. The sword Dao he wielded became even more terrifying. The Dao diagrams were like abysses, each one extremely fearsome, attempting to seal Ye Fan.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled. A single azure lotus emerged, surrounded by chaotic mist. With a gentle shake, many Dao diagrams shattered.
Chaos Azure Lotus!
This ancient divine phenomenon appeared, accompanying Ye Fan, immediately achieving results.
Ye Fan held the Dragon-Pattern Blackgold Holy Spirit Sword, his countenance solemn. Standing on the nine layers of heaven, with Mysterious Yellow Qi swirling around him, he pushed the Immortal King phenomenon to its extreme.
With two divine phenomena added to his body, he stepped forward one step at a time, unwaveringly resolute. The great black sword pointed at Xia Jiuyou. No matter how many sword diagrams flew at him, he would break them all with a single sword!
"If I can't capture you alive, then I'll cut you down!" Xia Jiuyou shouted, his hair flying, divine light blazing in his eyes.
At this moment, he imprinted himself into the void. His brow emitted a seven-colored divine radiance, cascading down ten thousand auspicious rays. Like an ancient deity reborn, he made everyone's hearts tremble.
"Divine Deity Eye!"
"Heavens, it really is the Divine Deity Eye! He must have received Gai Jiuyou's inheritance—it's an unparalleled divine art from the same lineage!"
Everyone was shocked.
On Xia Jiuyou's brow, the seven-colored light was dazzling. The Divine Deity Eye, capable of perceiving all things in the world, had opened!
It was a crystalline and beautiful eye, but it emitted a terrifying fluctuation. Like a rainbow, a beam shot out, striking toward Ye Fan.
The Divine Deity Eye, as its name suggested, could at its ultimate level give birth to the power of a deity, capable of destroying all enemies.
"Thud!"
The divine deity light shot down, causing even the Dragon-Pattern Blackgold Sword to buzz and tremble, numbing Ye Fan's arm. An ordinary person would have already perished.
"Clang!"
Another divine deity light fell, colliding with the Chaos Azure Lotus divine phenomenon, causing this entire region of heaven and earth to shake violently.
A terrifying divine art, almost able to channel the power of a deity. Even a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm would be pierced through!
The Divine Deity Eye shook heaven and earth, possessing inconceivable power!
Everyone gasped, chills running down the spines of even many senior figures. Their hearts pounded with fear. If they faced this heaven-defying prodigy, they would likely meet their end.
Xia Jiuyou's pride soared to the heavens. He truly had the capital to look down on the younger generation. The more one understood, the more helpless one felt.
"Thud!"
Another seven-colored beam from the Divine Deity Eye struck the Dragon-Pattern Blackgold Holy Spirit Sword, making it buzz and tremble with earth-shaking force.
Ye Fan snorted coldly. He slung the sacred sword behind his back and let out a long roar. His entire body erupted with ten thousand rays of light, like a golden-bodied war god.
"This is... the Indestructible Golden Body!"
"Indeed, the Sacred Body has reached minor accomplishment, condensing its unique Indestructible Golden Body!"
The Chaos Azure Lotus and Immortal King Overlooking the Nine Heavens—both divine phenomena merged with Ye Fan.
His entire body blazed brilliantly, divine flames leaping. Like cast from gold, he radiated immense power. Even his hair was tinged with golden light, like a cluster of golden divine fire dancing.
He emitted the aura of an awakening deity. Golden blood energy surged to the heavens, an ocean-like terrifying fluctuation rolling forth, an incomparably powerful aura erupting.
Ye Fan ascended to the sky in one step, swinging his golden fist toward the heights. The Indestructible Golden Body of the Sacred Body required an unstoppable momentum to unleash its boundless potential.
"Boom!"
Every movement he made was as heavy as a mountain, causing the void to tremble. His golden fist collided with the seven-colored beam, shaking the firmament like a tidal wave reaching the heavens.
This was a dazzling storm of energy, flooding the entire night sky. Ye Fan used his Indestructible Golden Body to resist the Divine Deity Eye, step by step forcing Xia Jiuyou back.
"The Sacred Body's flesh is too terrifying. No wonder he survived the heavenly tribulation."
"Even if Xia Jiuyou's magical power is overwhelming, if he lets him get close, he'll only meet his end."
After the Sacred Body reached minor accomplishment, Ye Fan's Indestructible Golden Body blazed brilliantly. Like an ancient Great Emperor walking among mortals, ten thousand techniques could not touch him, and it was extremely difficult to harm him in the slightest.
Xia Jiuyou finally showed a change in expression. No longer did he feel that everything was under control. He was beginning to lose his composure. If the other party managed to close in, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Since I can't take you as a servant, I'll drain all your sacred blood and destroy you completely!"
The Nine Nether Immortal Melody sounded again. The Great Dao heavenly music shook the mortal world, threatening to shatter souls. It could grind away all techniques in the world, cleanse the Dao, and cut down the firmament!
Then, the immortal music trembled, its aura becoming even more terrifying. In an instant, countless cultivators trembled in fear.
"This is... heavens, the divine melody continues!"
"This is the Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody!"
"The Nine Nether Immortal Melody is the prelude, followed by the supreme Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody!"
"This brat, or rather this arrogant little girl, is too powerful!" Even the well-traveled Big Black Dog marveled in secret.
Everyone knew this was Gai Jiuyou's supreme enlightenment. Eight thousand years ago, only he had displayed it. When the Transcendence Tribulation Divine Melody appeared, the world submitted!
Xia Jiuyou was still too young to have such a spiritual sublimation. He was performing an imitation of the Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody based on predecessors' inscribed insights.
Even so, it was extremely terrifying. Used against enemies, its killing power was immense. It could almost sweep away all foes.
Ye Fan also sensed immense danger. His Indestructible Golden Body radiated ten thousand rays of light, golden divine flames burning fiercely. He was like a deity reborn from fire.
At this moment, he also manifested the Splendid Rivers and Mountains and the Yin-Yang Life-and-Death Diagram divine phenomena, merging them with himself, then strode forward.
"Young Master, no!"
As soon as the Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody began, the two gray-clad old men in the distance shouted.
"You haven't reached the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm—you can't perform this melody!"
"Thud!"
The first strike of the Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody landed, as if heaven and earth had turned upside down. The entire sky was filled with immortal music and divine light, bright as day. The supreme wondrous sounds seemed to flow from ancient times.
Ye Fan was sent flying six hundred zhang away. The entire firmament was nearly overturned, supreme power surging!
"What a powerful immortal melody!"
Ye Fan's body shook violently. He barely managed to stabilize himself. His Indestructible Golden Body blazed even more fiercely, his entire body like cast gold, golden blood energy soaring to the heavens.
Everyone was stunned. The Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody had failed to pierce him through. Every single person was dumbfounded.
"This is only the opening move of the Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody. Let's see how you endure the rest!" Xia Jiuyou's skin was fairer than snow, his eyes bright. He was truly a heaven-defying prodigy.
"Young Master, stop! Don't continue! Your current cultivation level can't perform this!" The two gray-clad old men shouted urgently.
The Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody sounded again. This world seemed on the verge of collapse. Stars shifted, dragons and snakes rose from the land, heaven and earth reversed, sun and moon fell together!
"Clang!"
The Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody came to an abrupt halt, unable to continue. Xia Jiuyou spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying unsteadily.
This melody was heaven-defying, nearly divine! Even as an imitation, not a personal spiritual sublimation, it was still beyond what he could currently sustain.
"Whoosh!"
Ye Fan shot forward like a comet, rushing to close range in an instant. He grabbed Xia Jiuyou and lifted him up, his entire body radiating ten thousand rays of divine light.
Everyone was stunned. Being forced into close range by the Sacred Body—one didn't need to imagine the terrible consequences, for this was a precious body that had undergone heavenly tribulation!
"Spare him!" the two gray-clad old men shouted.
"Don't kill him!" Red Dragon Daoist also transmitted a message.
"Whatever you do, don't take his life!" Jiang Yun secretly transmitted.
Hearing this, Ye Fan did not deliver a killing blow. He lifted Xia Jiuyou and swung his golden palm, giving her a thorough spanking on the rear.
"Smack! Smack!"
"Ah..." Although Xia Jiuyou was suffering backlash from the Transcendence Tribulation Immortal Melody, she had not lost consciousness. She was still fully awake, shocked, furious, and humiliated. She cried out, "I'll fight you to the death!"
"Little brat!" Ye Fan taunted.
He did not stop. His golden palm swung again, delivering another round of fierce smacks.
Many cultivators were dumbfounded. The heaven-defying prodigy Xia Jiuyou, who looked down on the younger generation, was being treated like a child.
Xia Jiuyou, who dominated his generation, had his glorious reputation stained. Being spanked like this by the Primordial Sacred Body today meant that even if he later became unmatched in the world, comparable to an ancient Great Emperor, he could never wash away this disgrace.
