# Chapter 648: Fusion
A fragment of an incomplete Great Emperor's array trapped Ye Fan and his companions. A group of powerful enemies watched covetously, their killing intent dense as they surrounded the few young experts.
Every single one of them was an incredibly powerful foe. Now trapped in a dangerous situation, they simply couldn't break free.
Pang Bo gritted his teeth. Seeing that white-robed woman in the distance, he couldn't understand. "Li Xiaoman, are you really this heartless? You'd even attack your own classmate?!"
In the distance, a gentle breeze stirred the grass and trees, sweeping up wildflower petals that drifted down from the mountain, brushing against the corner of her skirt. Li Xiaoman stood on the mountain without a single word.
"What do we do?" Li Heishui frowned as well. The situation was truly dire now. These powerful enemies were each more formidable than the last. Trapped within the Imperial array patterns, there was simply no hope of survival.
"Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan, my younger brother died with eyes wide open. He appeared in my dreams and told me to grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes. Today, I've finally found you!" Beneath a great golden banner, a middle-aged man stood tall and martial, his golden hair reaching his waist. He was an expert from the Golden Family of the Northern Plains, and beside him stood another Great Power.
"Trapped in the Imperial array patterns, I'd like to see how you escape this time?" The Yin Yang Sect Leader's face was extremely cold.
"You brat, you'll die without a burial place!" The Great Powers from Wanchu and Zifu also revealed their killing intent. It was one thing that their Holy Sons had died, but even their Saint Lords had been killed or wounded, all lost in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
On the other side, Hua Yunfei's guardian let out a sinister laugh, activating his divine eyes to lock onto Ye Fan's origin, saying nothing more.
"You old bastards, have you got nothing better to do? Why do you always come after us?" Pang Bo didn't care at all, cursing and swearing.
"A bunch of old rabbit bastards!" Ye Fan spat out these words as well.
The Yin Yang Sect Leader, the Xiao Family Great Power, and the others had veins bulging on their foreheads. When had they ever been cursed at like this? They immediately urged Hua Yunfei's guardian, "Make your move!"
That Saint Lord-rank guardian let out a sinister laugh, walking forward step by step, activating the fragmentary array patterns to trap and kill them.
"Follow me, this way. We have to break out!" Ji Ziyue said. Her purple robes fluttered, as light as a spirit. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she took the lead forward.
"Thump"
In the sky, that enormous vase trembled, sending down a vast cascade of black light—countless strands, densely packed, falling like a curtain of rain.
"Pfft"
Ji Ziyue coughed up a small mouthful of blood, suffering injury. Her body flickered with crystalline immortal radiance as she retreated. If not for the secret treasure protecting her, that single strike would have turned her to dust.
"We can't break through!" Ye Fan pulled her behind him, offering up the Primordial Qi Cauldron to hang above his head. He was unharmed, but his eyes had dimmed somewhat. He swayed as if about to fall, yet still desperately borrowed the power of heaven and earth.
"Let's fight to the death!" Ye Fan gritted his teeth. His entire body trembled as he forcibly burned his own sacred power, imprinting the nine ancient characters from the Dao Scripture into his body. At the same time, he overturned the Primordial Qi Cauldron, aiming it at every attacking expert!
"Boy, what way out do you have left? Hand over your life!" The Yin Yang Sect Leader roared. The other Great Powers followed, attacking together.
Overwhelming dharma power surged forward. Ye Fan's various divine phenomena were nearly extinguished. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly be a match for so many enemies.
"Hum"
The Primordial Qi Cauldron trembled. The Yin Yang Sect Leader reached his great hand inside, trying to grab it. His eyes flickered with excited light, as if he had suddenly become a thousand years younger.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, he let out a miserable scream. His entire arm was shattered, half his body's bones crushed. He cried out as he retreated.
In that instant, he had grabbed a Divine Source block, but couldn't pull it out. Instead, the backlash severely injured him.
"Pfft"
Ye Fan activated the Immortal King Overlooking the Nine Heavens divine phenomenon. Together with Pang Bo, they struck. A small blue hammer came down heavily, smashing his already broken half-body into bloody paste.
The Yin Yang Sect Leader flew backward, his beard and hair standing on end, roaring in fury. It had been countless years—at least a thousand—since he had suffered such a great loss.
"Hum"
The nine ancient characters on Ye Fan's body merged with his flesh, releasing an inexplicably terrifying power. He let out a great shout and swung the God-Slaying Whip.
"Smack"
The Zifu Great Power's head became like a smashed watermelon, beaten into a mushy pulp. His corpse fell to the ground.
Ji Ziyue coughed blood. Her dharma power surged like an ocean, forcibly pushing into Ye Fan's body. Her form grew increasingly dim, yet she still persisted.
"Die!"
Ye Fan roared. Various divine phenomena thundered, briefly merging into one in that instant. The seven of them were like seven deities, their dharma power overwhelming the heavens.
"Pfft", "Pfft"
A Great Power from the Northern Plains Golden Family was torn apart. A Great Power from Wanchu had his body turned into a sieve, pierced through by various divine lights.
Where Ye Fan stood was like a world being created. All kinds of primordial divine light burst forth, shattering all obstacles.
"Boom"
Northern Emperor Wang Teng charged forward. His golden ancient war chariot was sent flying. Sparks flew from the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand. His martial heavenly eyes were nearly pierced through by the backlash, and he himself was sent tumbling backward.
"Kill!"
Seeing Ji Ziyue's large, spirited eyes growing dim, losing their luster, Ye Fan's heart grew frantic. He fought desperately, trying to escape this place.
"All of you, die!"
He activated his divine phenomena, leaping up, finally breaking free. But just then, Soaring Immortal Force struck. Hua Yunfei's guardian had made his move again!
"I've been waiting for you!" Ye Fan roared. The nine ancient characters on his body rapidly imprinted themselves into his flesh. He recklessly pushed his combat power to the limit.
"Hum"
He swung the God-Slaying Whip, collapsing heaven and earth with that single strike. As it came down, Hua Yunfei's guardian's body shattered like a ceramic jar, his form and spirit utterly destroyed.
"With me here, you won't escape!" The Northern Emperor regained control of his golden ancient war chariot, wielding the Heavenly Emperor Sword as he charged. Nine dragons pressed down, but he could only continuously feed Ji Ziyue life-giving divine spring water.
They fled for who knew how many li. Suddenly, heaven and earth shook violently. A massive ancient scroll unfurled in the sky, covering the entire world. Supreme pressure radiated outward as it descended.
Ahead stood a woman of peerless beauty, making even the sun and moon seem dim. She seemed to have descended from the nine heavens, her bearing unmatched in the world. It was the Moon Spirit Princess of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty, also the second most beautiful woman in the Central Province.
In the sky, an old ancestor of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty was activating an Imperial weapon, trying to take Ye Fan inside!
The weapon of an ancient Great Emperor, known as an Extreme Dao weapon. Though it had only just begun to awaken, it was simply not something human power could resist. Ye Fan's heart shook violently, nearly despairing.
The Jiuli Diagram encompassed heaven and earth, containing three thousand great worlds. It could suppress and refine everything. The pursuers behind were all shaken back, spitting mouthfuls of blood.
This ancient scroll, its supreme pressure spreading everywhere, shook past, present, and future. All the heavens and myriad realms trembled together!
"Hum"
With a soft tremor, the green copper block Ye Fan had obtained from the Self-Transformation Immortal Pool appeared. At the same time, the azure lotus in his Sea of Suffering swayed with radiance, flying out on its own to take root on this copper.
Everyone's expression changed. All were terrified!
