# Chapter 448: The Ruthless Person Storm
Hua Yunfei's head was blasted out, scattering a trail of blood blossoms, shocking everyone present. This was undoubtedly a heavenly prodigy, yet now...
Since the battle began, his performance had been astonishing, causing all the holy sons to be wary. Such a figure could look down upon the younger generation.
Everyone had thought his great battle with Ye Fan would continue—who was stronger, who would live, who would die—unclear in the short term. But now, a shocking turn of events had occurred.
"This is an outstanding talent of a generation. Is he just dying like this?"
"Powerful strength, an immortal-like aura. How many in the younger generation can match him? What a pity, what a shame."
...
Many cultivators felt regret.
There were also quite a few cultivators who didn't speak, feeling it wouldn't be so simple. Hua Yunfei shouldn't die so easily because he possessed a supreme sacred technique.
The void collapsed greatly, energy storms raged, and that stretch of sky was in chaos. In the nothingness, there was a black hole that nearly swallowed Ye Fan—extremely terrifying.
The black mist was blown away. Everyone who saw this scene drew in cold air. In the sky, it seemed there was an abyss, pitch black, devouring all light.
Ye Fan barely charged out, only narrowly avoiding being swallowed. It was perilous indeed!
The moment he rushed out, he directly chased after the head in the sky, not wanting to give his opponent a chance to revive, because his opponent possessed the Phoenix Calamity Regeneration Art.
Moreover, what kind of person was the ancient number one Ruthless Person? They had created the Undying Heavenly Art, the hardest to eliminate.
The moment Ye Fan charged out, many flesh fragments emerged together within the black hole, flowing with strange radiance. In the distance, Hua Yunfei's head also bloomed with auspicious colors.
"Boom!"
Ye Fan's golden blood energy boiled, his entire body as if bathed in golden divine fire, like a sacred spirit walking out from one of the seven forbidden zones of life!
"Slap!"
He swung his golden great hand forward, slapping out. The void shattered, and black great cracks rushed in all directions.
Hua Yunfei's head suddenly turned pitch black. A small black vortex appeared there, and with a whoosh, it vanished, disappearing without a trace.
"Want to escape? Not so easy!" Ye Fan had mastered the Grand Void Art and was most sensitive to such secret methods of traversing the void. He instantly tracked its trajectory.
He chased after it in an instant. That head had actually entered the black abyss that had nearly swallowed him moments ago, merging with those body fragments, flowing with light.
"Let's see how you escape now!" Ye Fan's golden great hand covered the sky, collapsing the void as it pressed down toward that place.
"Unfortunately, I couldn't fully display my techniques. Otherwise, the result would have been different!" This was a divine thought transmitted by Hua Yunfei, filled with regret.
Suddenly, Ye Fan's heart shuddered, his entire body turning cold. He decisively retreated. Right where he had been standing, the void split open, and a black great hand appeared, slapping down on the spot where he had just been.
Half-Step Great Power!
This person was shrouded in mist, his powerful aura surging like an ocean, not much weaker than a Saint Lord-rank figure. With just half a step further, he would be a Great Power who could dominate the world!
Hua Yunfei's Dao Protector had appeared. Ye Fan had been prepared for this, because his battle with Hua Yunfei had lasted too long. He had already thought this person might be alerted.
"Boom!"
The person in the black mist struck again, wanting to ruthlessly eliminate Ye Fan. The terrifying fluctuations made all onlookers shiver. Except for Saint Lords, who could contend with such a person?
But Ye Fan smiled. He retreated with peerless footwork, moving like a beam of light, then shouted loudly: "Everyone, the inheritance of the number one Ruthless Person throughout the ages has appeared!"
This great roar shook Yan Capital, like a thunderclap suddenly appearing, splitting the heavens, startling everyone.
Many figures rushed up into the high sky, not among the watching crowd. They came from all directions, all old men with white hair and beards.
Ye Fan's shout was truly powerful. Several holy lands and the supreme great sects of the Central Province all had extraordinary figures here, here to enter the Ancient Forbidden Land to pick divine medicine. All were alarmed.
This was Ye Fan's premeditated plan. He was determined to divert the world's attention. Too many people were staring at him. Someone needed to step forward to bear that hostility in his place.
"Who is it?" An aged voice came from the distant sky.
"Naturally, it's Hua Yunfei of Grand Mystery. He just displayed that inheritance. That black hole that nearly swallowed me hasn't disappeared yet. Don't you think it looks like it?" Ye Fan responded loudly.
"Don't slander me!" The Half-Step Great Power stepped back, retreating to the abyss in the sky.
"Whoosh!"
Light flashed, and the unharmed Hua Yunfei rushed out. The Phoenix Calamity Regeneration Art had revived him. However, using it twice in one day had cost him greatly, injuring his origin.
"Saying I slander you? You can stand there without moving. Let the various seniors come and discern. The clear will be clear, the muddy will be muddy." Ye Fan said casually.
"Next time, I will fully display the supreme heavenly art as you wish. I will definitely kill you." Hua Yunfei transmitted with divine thought, without any discouragement, only calmness and confidence.
"If you really dare to come and seek death again, I'll accept you on behalf of heaven." Ye Fan responded.
"I never expected that you obtained the All Secret from Clumsy Peak. My inheritance is not weaker than any method, ancient or modern. I naturally have techniques to counter the All Secret." Hua Yunfei's words took a turn, suddenly saying something else that confused people: "You think you understand everything, but you've only guessed half. The other half, even I don't know."
He transmitted with divine thought, so naturally others couldn't hear. In fact, before leaving, Hua Yunfei still wanted to prove that the Ruthless Person's inheritance had nothing to do with him.
In the distant sky, several old men appeared, from the holy lands of the Eastern Wasteland and the great sects of the Central Province. All were Saint Lord-rank figures, rapidly closing in.
"I will prove my innocence. If I stay now, I fear someone in the shadows won't give me the chance and will silence me." Hua Yunfei spoke.
Then, he offered a Dark Jade Platform. The void split open because of it, and he and the Half-Step Great Power traversed away.
The entire city was in an uproar, boiling over. What was going on? Was the generation's heavenly prodigy Hua Yunfei really the inheritor of the Ruthless Person?
Not long ago, the Ruthless Person's dao field in the Northern Domain had suffered a great calamity, with many dead and injured, shaking the Eastern Wasteland. Was he related to this?
But he was far away in the Southern Domain. How could he have done these things? Did he really have such great power?
That night was destined to be sleepless. The storm was simply too great. The Ruthless Person's inheritance had touched too many people's hearts. If it appeared, it would be a great disaster.
Many senior figures pursued, heading directly to the Grand Mystery Sect. Whether true or false, as long as there were doubts, they would investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, who knew how many would suffer calamity in the future.
"Where did that woman go?" Someone finally reacted, wanting to find Li Xiaoman's whereabouts.
But at this moment, she had vanished without a trace, no longer in the city. Ye Fan was also startled. He hadn't even noticed how Li Xiaoman had left, hadn't paid attention.
That night, Yan Capital was in great chaos. News flew everywhere, traversing to all corners the world, spreading in the first moment.
"Cough..." Ye Fan landed on the ground, coughing up light golden bloodstains.
Many people were filled with awe, involuntarily clearing a path for him. Although the Sacred Body was injured by the great dao and about to leave this world, he still had such might, making people shiver.
There were also quite a few people cursing. He was about to die, so why was he still so fierce? It left many speechless.
People believed that if Ye Fan fought desperately, killing a few holy sons to accompany him to hell before he died shouldn't be a problem.
The Ji Family's Divine King Physique calmly watched Ye Fan, without any ripples. He firmly grasped Ji Ziyue's arm, not letting her go over. Ji Ziyue was very worried, with watery mist appearing in her eyes.
In the distance, Holy Son Yao Guang's eyes were very deep. No one knew what he was thinking. Divine light flowed on his body surface, extremely sacred.
At this moment, Ye Fan had only one thought: quickly find Little Nannan and then leave the Southern Domain. This place was not suitable for staying.
"Owooo..." The next day, a long howl shook Yan Capital, making people think a millennium-old wolf had broken in.
The Big Black Dog had come. Additionally, Pang Bo, Li Heishui, and Tu Fei had also come. However, all three had changed their appearances before entering this ancient city.
"How did you all come?" Ye Fan was very surprised to see them. They had originally agreed to meet in the central region of the Eastern Wasteland.
"Naturally, we came to help you fight. We rushed over as soon as we heard the news." Pang Bo said.
"Actually, we should have arrived long ago. It's all this dead dog's fault. When traversing the void, it said the error wouldn't exceed three thousand li. In the end, it was off by a full three million li!" Tu Fei cursed.
"Three hundred and thirty thousand li!" Li Heishui added.
"Just an occasional mistake." The Big Black Dog bared its teeth.
Ye Fan finally understood. Last time, he had been off by one hundred and fifty thousand li. He had already been lucky!
As soon as Black Emperor appeared in Yan Capital, many people's faces immediately darkened when they saw him. He had caused quite a stir in the Northern Domain—chickens flying and dogs jumping, everywhere shouting about taking human pets. Many wanted to skin him.
But senior figures disdained to argue with a dog. The younger generation feared that the doomsday Sacred Body would fight desperately, making death by his hand too worthless.
The Big Black Dog had no self-awareness. It greeted everyone it saw, acting familiar as if it were very popular.
"Long time no see. We meet again."
Others ignored it, but it remained unselfconscious, still very enthusiastic.
"Hey, little miss, this emperor is talking to you. Why aren't you answering me? Don't you think this is a beautiful encounter?"
"I'll kill you..."
"Woof, this emperor doesn't want to fight with a woman!"
...
They came to Ye Fan's residence and learned in detail about his experiences. They were all amazed.
"Excellent! The great dao injury has finally been resolved!" Pang Bo was especially excited.
"From now on, the sea is wide for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly!" Tu Fei laughed.
"Right, we absolutely must not leak this now. Let the world mistakenly believe you don't have long to live." Li Heishui said.
"Sacred fruit..." The Big Black Dog drooled, its tongue almost falling off.
"You won't be left out. Now quickly tell me in detail about the Ruthless Person's problem." Ye Fan gave it a smack to wake it up.
The Ruthless Person Great Emperor looked down on the ages. He contended with heaven, with earth, with himself. He was not naturally gifted, but relying on his own power, he cut down all kings, using a mortal body to ultimately reach the supreme peak.
The divine techniques he created were unmatched in the world. First, he used the Devouring Demon Art to defy heaven and change his fate, achieving the position of the Undying Great Emperor, sovereign over the realm, looking down on all living beings.
Then, using his life's energy, he created the Undying Heavenly Art, breaking through the demon body, erasing all hidden dangers that offended heaven, nurturing a divine fetus, and overcoming himself.
There were legends that he might be the longest-lived among the great emperors. Everything about him was filled with mystery. Few in the world could explain it clearly.
"One Thought Blossoms, Sovereign Over Realm—this can be called a world-covering sacred art. If combined with the unparalleled Myriad Transformations Sacred Art, it's practically unsolvable. Kid, how did you break it?!" After learning that Ye Fan had suppressed such a sacred art, the Big Black Dog's eyes almost popped out. "Even the Battle Saint Art, facing such a unified sacred art alone, might not necessarily work."
Ye Fan detailed the process of this battle. The Big Black Dog gritted its teeth and said: "This kid obtained the Ruthless Person's inheritance. Is the lid of the Ancient Devouring Demon Jar in his hands?"
"Hard to say!" Ye Fan shook his head, because he had thought of many things, then continued asking.
Black Emperor said: "That Ruthless Person shook the past and present. The world-covering sacred arts he created are not just those two. There's also the 'Only I Am Supreme Sacred Art,' etc. According to what you said, he indeed didn't have time to use them. Moreover, these are just the sacred arts corresponding to the Devouring Demon Art..."
Ye Fan was shocked inwardly and said: "What do you mean?"
"There's also the Undying Heavenly Art. That was a miraculous art created by the Ruthless Person in his later years. What sacred arts correspond to it, no one knows." Black Emperor said so.
"The Ruthless Person is that powerful?" Pang Bo was also very surprised.
"Naturally powerful. Otherwise, why would this emperor want to dig his grave..." The Big Black Dog muttered.
"You said you suspect Holy Son Yao Guang is also involved. The night before last, he came to test you. Now that we're all here, how about we go kill him tonight!" Li Heishui said.
"Right, we'll take the initiative!" Tu Fei also said.
