Chapter 596: Declaring War on the World
The heavenly tribulation was fierce, tens of thousands of bolts of lightning cascading down, finally catching up to Xiao Yunsheng, a vast expanse of blinding white.
The earth-shattering electric light flooded this stretch of void. Mountain peaks collapsed, the ground sank, turning into a scorched wasteland devoid of any life.
"Swish!"
At the same time, Ye Fan drew his Ten Thousand Sorrow Bow and loosed an arrow. A golden rainbow carried boundless lightning forward, making the divine punishment even more violent.
"Boom!"
Finally, Xiao Yunsheng triggered his own heavenly tribulation. Sky-covering electric light poured down like a river of stars falling from the heavens, carrying an aura of world-destruction.
Everyone knew Xiao Yunsheng was finished. Such a calamity descending from the sky meant certain death. It was actually a tribulation of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, as if the world were being created anew, with chaotic light flickering.
"No, this tribulation is far too excessive!"
This was a super-massive heavenly tribulation, not a fleeting one but a full-scale descent. Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water cycled, the central world turning into chaos, evolving the power of creation, impossible to resist.
"It must be because there are too many tribulations today. Heaven Above is truly enraged, and the calamities it sends down will be fiercer each time!"
Everyone was certain Xiao Yunsheng was finished, with almost no chance of survival. Even a peerless demon lord would be unable to withstand it. It was many times greater than an ordinary Sacred Lord-rank tribulation.
Ye Fan's heart also tightened. This kind of great tribulation made even him feel a chill. A single bolt of lightning reduced a large stretch of mountain peaks to ash, scorching the earth.
He had seen minor tribulations of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water before, but compared to this great tribulation, they weren't even worth mentioning. What he saw now was the four elements surging, chaos flowing, opening up a small world.
"Boom!"
The sea of lightning boiled. Tens of millions of electric sparks flickered, a blinding glare where nothing could be seen.
Xiao Yunsheng roared. The first wave of lightning tribulation fell, shattering all his magical artifacts, leaving nothing behind. The second wave of divine punishment descended, charring his entire body black, exposing his bones. The third wave of heavenly tribulation struck, breaking half his body apart, his bones pitch black, his blood dried up.
And so, after eight waves of heavenly tribulation passed, a generation of Great Power was reduced to nothing, not even bone fragments remaining. The great tribulation of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water ground him to dust, erasing his name from heaven and earth.
"Damn it!"
Ye Fan flew away like the wind. His heavenly tribulation was almost over. If he didn't leave now, it would be too late. However, this small world was very winding, and he couldn't find the exit for a time.
At the same time, an immense pressure rippled. An Extreme Imperial Weapon was awakening, sealing the space, slowly pressing down toward him.
Ye Fan's expression changed. The heavenly tribulation was about to disappear. The two ancient divine dynasties of Central Province no longer held back. They began to act, blocking his escape.
"Leave behind the Grand Emperor Scripture!" The Great Xia Imperial Lord's expression was cold. No matter what, he would not allow anyone to take away the imprint left by their ancestor. Otherwise, the ancient scripture would no longer be a secret, and someone could use it to create a second Great Xia Divine Dynasty.
The final bolt of lightning vanished. The heavenly tribulation completely receded. Ye Fan's expression shifted. The exit was ahead, but a great dragon spanned the void, coiling in the space between. Every ray of light it emitted was more dazzling than a sun.
This was the Extreme Imperial Weapon, the Grand Emperor Sword. It raised its head and cried out, shaking the heavens, vibrating through the ages, as if a single sword strike could pierce through past, present, and future. Its offensive power was unmatched in the world!
Everyone trembled. The Extreme Imperial Weapon was slowly awakening. The aura of an ancient Great Emperor spread, enough to make even a group of peerless experts feel clear-headed.
Three Extreme Imperial Weapons clashing, the extinction of a divine thought, the emergence of the Immortal Emperor's human skin... various rumors circulated, hard to distinguish truth from falsehood.
Some even said that the Primeval Kings had been alarmed and rushed to demand the Immortal Emperor's human skin. The Nine Li Diagram, the Grand Emperor Sword, and the Devouring Demon Jar had almost suppressed it together.
At the same time, a major event occurred in the Eastern Wasteland. The Primordial Ancient Mine spewed out misty clouds for half a month. All the Holy Lands rushed there.
This time, no major powers from the Northern Plains or the Eastern Wasteland came, all because of the unusual activity at the Primordial Ancient Mine.
The world was about to fall into chaos. Everyone felt that the peaceful days would be broken. The Ten Thousand Primeval Clans would emerge, various Immortal Mansion worlds would open, and the forbidden zones of the world were acting abnormally—all of these were omens.
Outside, there was an uproar. The world buzzed with discussion.
Half a month later, the Yin Yang Sect, a power in Central Province comparable to a divine dynasty, issued a notice: hunt down Ye Fan throughout the world. Anyone providing clues would be heavily rewarded.
However, Ye Fan was not afraid at all. That very day, he stepped forward and solemnly warned the two major powers: immediately cancel the kill order, or bear the consequences.
The world was shocked. A small cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm dared to speak like this, issuing a warning to an immortal inheritance of Central Province. Just how bold was he?!
In response, the Yin Yang Sect was very decisive. They issued the kill order six times in succession, sending out all their experts to root out Ye Fan, extract his soul, and suppress him.
No one expected Ye Fan's reaction to be even more intense. He declared he would kill every single member of the younger generation of the Yin Yang Sect, making them dare not select another Holy Son or Holy Maiden.
Moreover, unless they recalled all their young disciples traveling outside, he would kill one for every one he saw, and two for every pair.
The entire world was in an uproar. This monster from the Eastern Wasteland had truly come into his own, daring to threaten an immortal inheritance of Central Province like this.
"I can kill one Yin Yang Holy Son, so I can kill a second. I can kill one Yin Yang Holy Maiden, and I can keep killing!"
Ye Fan's declaration spread across most of Central Province. It was a naked exposure of weakness and a threat, but people believed he might actually do it.
A few days later, the Yin Yang Sect was furious from top to bottom. Several graves in their ancestral mausoleum had been dug open, visited by a thief...
