# Chapter 505: Sun Sovereign
“Brother Ye inspires awe. Without using any Dao power, relying solely on his physical body and speed, he overpowered a cultivator at the fifth transformation of the Secret Realm. He’s nearly unmatched among the younger generation.” Feather Transformation King Xu Zixuan said with a smile.
“I’ve already severed my own cultivation. I truly cannot use Dao power, so I had no choice but to do this.” Ye Fan shook his head, seeming quite regretful.
Beside them, Wang Chongxiao was filled with endless doubts. He had witnessed the battle just now with his own eyes, yet he truly hadn’t seen Ye Fan employ any divine power or such.
Xu Zixuan extended his hand and pointed, shooting out a piece of divine feather, instantly healing Gao Linfeng’s injuries. He said, “Brother Ye, how about letting him off? He’s impetuous and young, so his words are inevitably excessive.”
“No problem. I won’t argue with him.” Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
“I never expected the famous Feather Transformation King to come to the Northern Domain’s Divine City…” A loud laugh rang out as Great Xia Prince Xia Yiming strode in.
“I came to the Northern Domain for the Jade Pool Grand Assembly, passing through Divine City. It’s an honor to meet such outstanding talents here.” Feather Transformation King Xu Zixuan spoke.
Clearly, the distinguished guests Gao Linfeng had invited were Wang Chongxiao, Xia Yiming, and Xu Zixuan, and they had all arrived one after another.
“Brother Ye, it’s wonderful that you’ve returned safely.” Xia Yiming laughed and stepped forward.
“I barely escaped a calamity. Although my life was saved, I had to half-sever my cultivation. Such is the helplessness of life.” Ye Fan sighed.
The others fell silent, not knowing what to say. Everyone knew that he had severed his own cultivation half a year ago, yet he had still killed the Yin Yang Holy Son.
At this moment, Gao Linfeng’s face alternated between pale and green. He was extremely humiliated. Today was truly too disgraceful, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Especially now, hearing such words—the other party claimed to have already severed his cultivation, yet he still couldn’t match him—made him wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
“The Jade Pool Grand Assembly has even reached the Central Province’s kings. Its influence is immense.” An Miaoyi said with a light laugh, graceful as an immortal, as she lightly poured tea. A beautiful maidservant served it to the group.
“We’ve been traveling and training. Hearing of such a grand assembly, we naturally didn’t want to miss it.” Feather Transformation King Xu Zixuan replied. He was handsome and serene, giving people a very special feeling.
Ye Fan knew that this person must be extremely powerful. He recalled some rumors—Feather Transformation Ascending to Heaven, shedding the mortal body and changing the bones, one Secret Realm one Divine Treasury. He was likely nearly invincible among the younger generation of the Central Province. Ye Fan felt an invisible pressure.
Suddenly, light surged like a tidal wave. A person silently appeared in the palace. Golden light blazed intensely, as if a sun were burning.
“Big Brother, you’ve come?” Gao Linfeng’s gloomy expression vanished. He was visibly excited as he quickly went to meet him, while also glancing at Ye Fan with endless killing intent.
This was a tall man, like a wall of golden metal, giving off a terrifying pressure. He stood motionless, his eyes like blades as he swept his gaze over.
On his body, dazzling golden light surged like ocean waves. Ordinary people couldn’t look directly at him. The radiance was blinding. He was like a deity, making others feel inferior.
His thick black hair was tinged with golden light. His face was chiseled, with sharp features. Lightning-like light shot from his eyes, making him appear extremely domineering.
“Brother Gao, I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly.” Feather Transformation King Xu Zixuan said with a smile.
The Sun Sovereign of the younger generation of the Central Province had arrived in person. His expression was very cold, and amidst the blazing light, he resembled a divine son.
He nodded. His tall figure was like a mountain as he walked forward step by step. His blade-like eyes were fixed on Ye Fan, and an invisible killing intent emanated from his body.
Throughout history, the Twin Kings of the Central Province had shaken the world. They were the most terrifying physiques. After more than four thousand years, they had emerged again.
Legend had it that when the Twin Kings united, they were invincible under heaven. They were the most terrifying combination, capable of sweeping through their generation with no rivals, unmatched in the world.
This was because each of them was comparable to an Eastern Wasteland Divine King, possessing the most terrifying bloodline in the world. Most importantly, they were naturally complementary. Once they joined forces, they were unstoppable.
Since ancient times, only the Peerless Divine King had ever killed the Twin Kings alone. Before that, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to slay them.
However, the Divine King hadn’t fought them together. He had killed them separately, four thousand years apart. Otherwise, if the Twin Kings united, no one of the same generation could match them.
“Are you the Sun Sovereign? If you want to fight, come at me. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Ye Fan said calmly, showing no fear.
The Sun Sovereign was bathed in golden divine light, like an immortal war god reborn from flames. Tall and majestic, his aura was overwhelming. He said nothing, still staring fixedly at Ye Fan.
“Big Brother, kill him!” Gao Linfeng gnashed his teeth, his eyes filled with venom, wishing he could take revenge immediately.
Ye Fan naturally knew the source of their killing intent. The Peerless Divine King had slain both of their ancestors, and they held a grudge against him.
Because everyone knew that the Peerless Divine King had nearly sacrificed his own life to help Ye Fan break the curse. In many people’s eyes, Ye Fan was someone the Divine King had nurtured with his very life.
“It’s all a misunderstanding. Why resort to such drastic measures and harm the harmony?” Great Xia Prince stepped forward to mediate.
“The Sacred Body, once grown, can contend with a Great Emperor. The Twin Kings united are invincible in the mortal world. Both are future extraordinary talents. Why clash over trivial matters now?” Feather Transformation King also advised.
An Miaoyi also stepped forward to mediate. Her eyes were intoxicating, and her words were like a spring breeze, calming people’s hearts and easing the tense atmosphere.
The Sun Sovereign was in the Northern Domain and had many concerns. He didn’t want to fight Ye Fan now. He snorted coldly, glanced at Ye Fan, and said no more.
“Let you live a few more days!” Gao Linfeng’s eyes were filled with hatred.
The others present frowned. Even the Sun Sovereign couldn’t help but glance at him, feeling that this younger brother was too spoiled and would never amount to anything.
“It’s been a long time since anyone spoke to me like that. Even if your elder brother is one of the Twin Kings, it doesn’t matter. I’ll still teach you a lesson.” Ye Fan made his move.
“Bang!”
The Sun Sovereign’s body blazed with divine flames. He reacted quickly to block Ye Fan, but he underestimated his opponent’s speed.
Ye Fan’s right hand transformed into a golden Heaven-Overturning Seal, slapping Gao Linfeng flying on the spot. His bones broke and his tendons snapped, nearly turning him into a pulp.
“Next time, watch your mouth.”
“Ah!” Gao Linfeng’s dozens of broken bones caused excruciating pain, making him cry out involuntarily.
“You…” The Sun Sovereign manifested a massive sun behind him. Nine Golden Crows flew out, circling above his head.
A terrifying aura erupted like a flood, causing this heavenly palace to tremble. It alarmed many people, and quite a few cultivators looked in this direction.
The Sun Sovereign’s aura stretched across the sky like a rainbow, surging like a brilliant river of stars. He raised his hand and struck at Ye Fan. To discipline his younger brother in front of him was equivalent to slapping him in the face.
“Bang!”
Ye Fan moved as if walking through the sun and moon, as if traversing time itself. He dodged at extreme speed, swinging his golden fist, shattering the void as he closed in, using his unparalleled physical body to fight.
Just as the two were about to engage in a great battle, Feather Transformation King and Great Xia Prince both made their moves. Countless divine feathers filled the sky, and nine dragon auras severed the heavens, separating the two.
“This time, it really was Linfeng’s fault. You two shouldn’t fight to the death over this.” Feather Transformation King Xu Zixuan spoke.
“Feather Transformation King, don’t stop me. I’ve already been tolerant enough, but he dared to make a move. He deserves death!” The Sun Sovereign’s killing intent surged, his expression icy.
“I still have nine chances to return to the Four Extremes Secret Realm and can duel with any Holy Son. If you force me to kill you, just come ahead.” Ye Fan confronted him.
“Ding…”
An Miaoyi played an immortal melody. The zither music was peaceful, like a clear spring flowing among pines under a moonlit night, calming people’s hearts.
“Everyone, stop. No one has dared to turn my Miaoyu Nunnery into a battlefield yet.” Her voice was like heavenly music, but it also carried a hint of authority.
The Sun Sovereign was very domineering, but after arriving in the Eastern Wasteland, he didn’t dare to be too aggressive. He restrained his killing intent and sat down to the side.
Ye Fan looked completely unconcerned. Now that he had obtained the Stride Art, he could go anywhere in the world. Even if everyone knew his injuries had healed, it didn’t matter anymore.
After this confrontation, although the group continued drinking tea and chatting, the atmosphere couldn’t relax. The Sun Sovereign’s face was gloomy, without a trace of a smile.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, was very leisurely. While sipping tea, he chatted with Feather Transformation King and Great Xia Prince, occasionally asking Wang Chongxiao a few questions.
An Miaoyi played her immortal melody, making the entire palace peaceful and easing the tension. The only discordant note was Gao Linfeng, covered in blood.
“I wonder where the sage of Heavenly Court has gone?” Feather Transformation King asked.
Ye Fan smiled. The contemporary sage indeed had a deterrent effect, making the young experts of the Central Province cautious and careful in their inquiries.
“He’s in seclusion at a secret location.”
“With cultivation at that level, he still needs to go into seclusion? Could there be hope of a breakthrough?” Wang Chongxiao and the others’ hearts pounded.
The Sun Sovereign was also quite unsettled. Although he knew Ye Fan’s words couldn’t be trusted, he couldn’t help but pay attention, after all, that was an existence comparable to an ancient sage.
Finally, when night grew deep, the others took their leave. Ye Fan returned and met with An Miaoyi in another palace.
“Have your injuries healed?” An Miaoyi asked softly.
Ye Fan handed her a jade bottle containing divine spring water. When opened, its fragrance assailed the nose. Any cultivator could tell this was a life spring that could revive the dead and restore flesh to white bones.
“You never cease to amaze me!” An Miaoyi’s beautiful eyes were full of surprise. “You ventured deep into the Ancient Forbidden Land and returned alive.”
Ye Fan didn’t hide it. He looked at her calmly and said, “I want to ask you something.”
“I know what you want to say. If it’s about the Ruthless Person’s inheritance, don’t ask too deeply. Just know that I won’t harm you.” With that, An Miaoyi laughed lightly, ethereal as an immortal, and came to his side to massage his acupoints.
“Why?”
“Don’t ask so many questions.” An Miaoyi shook her head, unwilling to say more.
“Has Hua Yunfei come to the Northern Domain?” Ye Fan asked.
“I don’t know. That person is very dangerous. You need to be careful.” An Miaoyi warned.
Everyone had their own reasons and couldn’t reveal all their secrets to others, just as Ye Fan came from the other end of the starry sky and had never told An Miaoyi about it.
“You’re in great danger now. Recently, a Saint-Slaying Alliance has appeared in the Eastern Wasteland. There are probably Holy Son-level figures operating within it.”
“An alliance to kill me… Aren’t the two ancient Assassin Divine Dynasties enough? Now there’s a Saint-Slaying Alliance too.”
An Miaoyi warned solemnly, “The members don’t know each other’s identities, but they are very coordinated. They all have one goal—to kill you.”
Ye Fan smiled. He felt that the supreme authority of Heavenly Court would finally have its use. Heavenly Court should reappear in the mortal world.
