Chapter 622: Creating His Own Technique
Ye Fan's blood flowed with golden divine light, nearly boiling. Driven by the Nirvana Sutra, it circulated rapidly, reconnecting broken bones and tendons while repairing his wounded body.
"Rumble..."
As his golden blood flowed, a sound like a roaring tsunami erupted from within his body, deafening and overwhelmingly vast.
"Crackle"
His broken bones and torn tendons crackled like thunder, continuously being repaired and reconnected, rapidly healing and growing.
Hua Yunfei's expression changed. He had not expected Ye Fan's physical body to be so formidable. From this display, one could imagine how terrifying his bloodline power was.
Ye Fan remained motionless, quietly sitting cross-legged, focusing on healing. He knew well that Hua Yunfei possessed the Phoenix Calamity Regeneration Art, a rare secret technique with incredible power that would likely allow him to recover first.
At this moment, the "All" Secret was continuously triggered, merging with the Nirvana Sutra to increase the healing speed tenfold. The golden blood flowed even faster, rumbling loudly.
Every bone in his body hummed, his organs vibrated in unison, brimming with vitality as everything developed positively. All forces combined to accelerate the repair of his severely damaged body.
Hua Yunfei had calculated carefully, certain that the Soaring Immortal Art could shatter the Sacred Body. With the Phoenix Calamity Regeneration Art backing him, he dared to be ruthless, opting for mutual destruction.
But he had not anticipated that Ye Fan could recover just as quickly, barely slower than himself. He knew that Ye Fan must have mastered some healing sacred art beyond his expectations.
"Boom!"
Both stood up at almost the same time. Hua Yunfei had returned to his peak state, while Ye Fan's body still bore cracks, and his internal organs and bones were not fully healed. He had been forced to rise.
The Nirvana Sutra was a supreme treasure of the Western Desert Buddhist Sect, a world-shaking ancient healing scripture. But what Ye Fan had obtained was only an essence of its teachings, not a complete ancient scripture.
Without the "All" Secret to amplify the Nirvana Art's effectiveness tenfold, his body would still be split apart. Now, his injuries were mostly healed but not fully recovered, placing him in a very passive position.
Hua Yunfei sneered coldly, darting forward like lightning. He immediately unleashed the Soaring Immortal Art, terrifying beyond measure, as if it could split everything and sweep away all divine spirits under heaven.
This technique was supremely sharp. Legend said it was created by the Ruthless Great Emperor specifically to counter the Battle Character Art among the Nine Secrets. One could imagine how terrifying it was!
"Boom"
Ye Fan countered with the Heaven-Overturning Seal. The two clashed violently, overturning heaven and earth. Divine power surged like an ocean, instantly collapsing dozens of mountain ranges below.
Both had extremely powerful attacks. If anyone of the same cultivation level had been here, they would have been turned to ash in a single strike, not even existing anymore. They were simply not on the same level.
This was the first time Ye Fan had been so passive. A trace of golden blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He fought while healing, needing to recover quickly. Otherwise, he could only retreat in defeat, or even be killed.
He had to admit, the Soaring Immortal Art was too terrifying. It could even cut down the Sacred Body. Any divine weapon or treasured blade that touched it would instantly turn to powder. For the first time, Ye Fan felt extreme wariness.
He unleashed all kinds of divine techniques, fighting fiercely, but they were largely ineffective. Hua Yunfei countered with the Myriad Transformations Sacred Art, turning all wonders into decay, reducing everything to the ordinary.
This was a miraculous art, unmatched in the world. It could dissolve all enemy secret techniques, returning everything to the mundane, making it difficult for one to fully display their power.
Ye Fan's heart chilled. At this moment, only the Nine Secrets could be used. All other secret techniques were dissolved, unable to block this sacred method.
Hua Yunfei's left hand wielded the Soaring Immortal Art, its attack power shocking the world. His right hand used the Myriad Transformations Art, dissolving all obstacles. The two combined like a dragon and phoenix in harmony, sweeping everything before them!
Ye Fan's mind shook violently as he continuously retreated. The Soaring Immortal Art could even injure his Sacred Body. With his wounds not yet healed, he was under extreme pressure.
All the golden blood energy in his body was mobilized, circulating with the Nirvana Sutra, rumbling as it continuously healed. But this also prevented him from manifesting his divine phenomena. The situation grew increasingly dangerous. It was hard to block his opponent, hovering at death's door.
Since Ye Fan had begun his journey, he had always been overwhelmingly dominant, especially in battle, pressing forward relentlessly. This was the first time he found himself in a weak position, being suppressed by an opponent's power.
"Such a powerful Soaring Immortal Art, it can even injure my physical body. Truly worthy of being called possessing the Soaring Immortal Force! The Myriad Transformations Art is equally unmatched, dissolving everything except the Nine Secrets." He felt a chill in his heart, but he did not flee using the Stride Art. Instead, he calmed himself, seeking a solution amidst the life-and-death crisis.
He did not want to escape unless it was the last resort. Instead, he sought enlightenment amidst this life-and-death tribulation. Few would dare to have such thoughts, falling to this state yet still thinking about how to comprehend the Dao and create their own technique.
"The Nine Secrets—only by evolving them can it be done!"
While healing, Ye Fan's mind gradually grew calm. He slowly pushed his hands forward, forming a Taiji divine diagram, using the Battle Character Art to deduce.
The Battle Character Art among the Nine Secrets was the fundamental technique of combat, possessing supreme profound meaning. He focused his mind, comprehending deeply, combining it with the Taiji diagram, evolving step by step.
At this moment, his aura changed. Like a gentle breeze caressing a great mountain, like soft water dripping through rock, he began to strike the strong with the weak, countering the Soaring Immortal Art!
"It's useless. The Soaring Immortal Art is unmatched in the world. What can you use to block it?" Hua Yunfei was like a banished immortal, ethereal and otherworldly, but his attack power was terrifying.
"Boom!"
As the Soaring Immortal Art was unleashed, the world was filled with ten thousand rays of multicolored light. It truly seemed like someone was ascending to immortality, this power surpassing human limits.
"Pfft"
Ye Fan continuously formed hand seals, but he could not block it. Golden blood sprayed from his mouth, his arms were shattered, and his body flew backward. Below, forty-nine great mountains turned to dust under the Soaring Immortal Force!
The Ruthless Great Emperor, stunning past, present, and future, had created the Soaring Immortal Art capable of annihilating all enemies. Its attack power was unstoppable!
Back then, he or she had used this world-dominating divine technique at the Fire Demon Ridge. With a single strike, it turned a supreme divine spirit comparable to a Great Emperor into powder.
The ancient Great Emperors represented the highest achievements of humanity, possessing extreme Dao power. The creation of the Soaring Immortal Art surpassed human limits, unleashing the Soaring Immortal Force, truly unmatched through the ages!
This technique could shatter the Sacred Body. Ye Fan's heart trembled. The Nirvana Sutra circulated even faster. His arms crackled and popped as they quickly reconnected, his entire body filled with golden blood energy.
"Weng"
With a loud sound, seventy-two great mountains below turned to ash under the Soaring Immortal Art again, merely grazed by the Soaring Immortal Force. This terrifying attack chilled one's heart and soul.
Hua Yunfei's left hand wielded the Soaring Immortal Art with unmatched attack power, while his right hand used the Myriad Transformations Art to dissolve all secret techniques. The two combined like heaven and earth in harmony, dragon and phoenix in unison, peerless in the world.
Ye Fan retreated again and again, using the Stride Art to maneuver. He faced the most dangerous battle of his life, each step a crisis, at any moment facing death.
"Too powerful. The Soaring Immortal Art and the Myriad Transformations Art were both created by the Ruthless Great Emperor to counter the Nine Secrets. Truly terrifying."
Ye Fan muttered to himself. While fighting, he elevated himself to a state of emptiness, continuously deducing the Battle Character Art, comprehending his own Dao and techniques.
At this moment, his movements grew increasingly fluid. Though he was striking the strong with the weak, there was a divine charm of Dao following nature. He was evolving his own great Dao.
Watching clouds roll and unfurl, seeing wild geese fly south, letting flowers wither—his heart was utterly peaceful. Every move was a life-and-death struggle, yet he had a mindset transcendent of the battlefield.
Ye Fan seemed to detach himself, achieving a state of unity between heaven and man, Dao and body natural. In life and death, he transcended self-forgetfulness, moving freely, Dao and self as one.
The Taiji divine diagram rotated. Ye Fan's torso transformed into Dao marks, becoming the yin-yang dividing line in the diagram, while his hands became true yin and true yang, the two points of yin and yang.
All along, the dragon-shaped curve formed by his torso had been the most powerful. Now, his hands began to evolve as well, becoming the ultimate yin and ultimate yang points.
Ye Fan fought against Hua Yunfei, striking the strong with the weak. His body moved, growing more and more mysterious. Though he was retreating, it was no longer a step-by-step crisis.
In ultimate sublimation, he experienced a profound and mysterious Dao, perfectly matching himself. He silently deduced, his movements flowing like clouds and water, natural and effortless, like an antelope hanging its horns with no trace to be found.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, his body trembled. His injuries finally healed. Golden blood energy shot into the sky. At this moment, a flash of inspiration struck Ye Fan. He transformed all his golden blood energy into a circle, surrounding himself from head to toe.
"Boom!"
At this moment, heaven and earth moved, the great Dao resonated. He ascended to a wondrous state, experiencing an unprecedented sense of naturalness and power.
The Sacred Body's golden blood energy formed a Taiji circle. His torso became the yin-yang dragon-shaped dividing line. His hands became the yin-yang points. He himself became a Taiji divine diagram.
"Hua Yunfei, your life is mine!" Ye Fan shouted loudly, finally launching a fierce attack. He became a human Dao diagram, flying forward.
"Boom!"
Hua Yunfei was cold and indifferent. He unleashed the Soaring Immortal Art, its Soaring Immortal Force capable of breaking through all divine beings in the heavens. But when it struck the golden circle, it could not penetrate even an inch.
"Swish!"
He swept down with the Myriad Transformations Art, capable of dissolving all divine techniques in the world, returning them to the ordinary. Yet it could not dissolve the golden circle either.
Hua Yunfei's heart shook violently. He knew that Ye Fan had evolved a world-shaking sacred technique. The golden Taiji circle was nearly impossible to break through!
At this moment, Ye Fan was untouchable by all techniques. All attacks were blocked by the golden circle. He walked forward like a god.
"Boom!"
Now, he struck out powerfully. The dragon-shaped curve and the yin-yang points formed by his hands vibrated together, unleashing a chilling aura.
"Pfft"
Hua Yunfei could not block it. He spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward, a look of shock on his face.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His right hand grabbed, unleashing the Myriad Transformations Art. Below, over a dozen mountain ranges were transformed into foot-long shapes, flying toward Ye Fan like over a dozen small dragons.
This was a weight of billions of jun, transforming all things in heaven and earth for one's own use, pressing forward to suppress.
"Boom"
But before the golden Taiji circle, all this was useless. Everything was blocked, shaken into dust, falling with a rustle, filling the air with earth and stone below.
"Boom!"
Hua Yunfei's left hand followed immediately with the Soaring Immortal Art. The moment the dozen small dragons disappeared, it arrived before the Taiji circle. Yet still, it could not advance an inch, unable to break through.
"Boom"
Ye Fan let out a soft shout. The dragon-shaped curve vibrated, heavily wounding Hua Yunfei, nearly cutting him in two. Hua Yunfei coughed up blood and flew sideways.
