Chapter 713: Eight Virtues Dharma Wheel
Yi Qingwu did not become angry. The charming smile on her face remained undiminished as she used her crystal-like jade fingers to smooth her long hair, saying sweetly, "You really are confident."
"How can one go through life without confidence? How about we make a bet? If you lose, you willingly come and massage my back and shoulders as my maidservant, how about that?" Ye Fan said.
"Life is not meant for betting, and no one can afford to bet. The path lies beneath our feet—why should I gamble?" Yi Qingwu's eyes held a spiritual light as she revealed a faint, enchanting smile.
Yan Yixi walked over and said in a low voice, "She must have some kind of support."
Li Tian exuded a wicked aura. Though handsome, he looked anything but trustworthy. He chuckled and said, "I don't believe the three of us can't take her down."
"What about the several sect masters she invited?" Ye Fan searched.
Earlier, the Twelve Earthly Branches Divine Formation had trapped them, seemingly involving twelve sect master-level figures. This was quite dangerous, but he later discovered they weren't all real people.
Thus, they weren't too worried and instead wanted to capture the number one beauty under heaven right here and take her away.
Yi Qingwu laughed softly, her entire body radiating a crystalline luster. Her silver bell-like laughter pierced the tranquil moonlit night, echoing through the sky. Her black hair flew as she stood on the divine carriage, her skirt dancing in the wind.
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out. A dharma wheel appeared in the sky, engraved with Eight Trigrams patterns. Eight divine symbols flew up one after another, merging with it.
"The sect master-level figures from before!" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.
"This is the Guanghan Palace's ultimate treasure—the Eight Virtues Dharma Wheel!" Yan Yixi said in shock.
Li Tian was even more straightforward. Without saying a word, he leaped up and tried to break out. This great villain showed absolutely no sense of loyalty at that moment.
"Still trying to escape?!" Yi Qingwu shouted.
In the sky, the Eight Virtues Dharma Wheel rotated, shooting out eight divine symbols. Each one was more terrifying than the last, all transforming into humanoid forms that cut off Li Tian's path and blasted him back.
"Damn it! She trapped us earlier to sacrifice this artifact and revive it. This is Guanghan Palace's supreme secret treasure!" Li Tian cursed.
The Eight Virtues Dharma Wheel contained eight divine spirits, each possessing unparalleled power. And now, the Heavenly Demon Grandmother—a giant capable of shaking the current era—was even more terrifying!
"Come, children. Grandmother will dote on you." The Heavenly Demon Grandmother laughed as she closed in, reaching out with a large hand like a bird's claw to grab them.
Just then, Ye Fan stepped forward, charging straight at that hand, meeting the Heavenly Demon Body's grasp head-on.
"Brother Ye, don't touch it! That's the Heavenly Demon Body!" Yan Yixi cried out in alarm, shouting a warning.
"Brother, even if you want to die, don't do it like this!" Li Tian also yelled.
Behind them, the Taiyin Divine Son was shocked. In this world, almost no one dared to engage the Heavenly Demon Body in physical combat. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Grandmother had cultivated for nearly two thousand years, reaching the pinnacle of cultivation. Even an incarnation of hers could kill a living fossil.
On the other side, the number one beauty under heaven, Yi Qingwu, also showed a curious look in her eyes. This was practically suicide, and she didn't believe Ye Fan could block the Heavenly Demon Body.
"Gagaga... Come, child. Grandmother adores you." The withered old woman's ghostly claw swept down, intending to grab Ye Fan whole.
Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!
Ye Fan's expression turned serious as he activated this world-shattering fist technique with his unmatched physical body, striking out fiercely like a thunderbolt against that pitch-black claw.
A strange sound rang out, followed by the crunch of bones, splattering blood, and a muffled groan!
It all happened very quickly. Everyone thought Ye Fan was finished, but they saw the Heavenly Demon Grandmother retreating as if she'd seen a ghost, her hands mangled and dripping with blood.
The Heavenly Demon Body's hands had been shattered by someone!
The Taiyin Divine Son was engulfed in darkness, utterly astonished. Yi Qingwu's beautiful eyes shot out divine lightning, revealing a look of shock.
Beside them, Yan Yixi and Li Tian were momentarily stunned. They had thought Ye Fan would meet his end, but instead, this was the result.
"The human race's Sacred Body?!" The Heavenly Demon Grandmother's pupils shot out two black lights, her expression terrifying. "How many years has it been since I last saw one? I thought it could no longer appear, but I never expected it to emerge again!"
"Sacred Body?!"
Several young prodigies showed expressions of shock and awe, all turning to look at Ye Fan with strange expressions.
"Gagaga..." The Heavenly Demon Grandmother let out a chilling laugh. "The blood of a Sacred Body is a supreme tonic! It can help me break through my bottleneck and achieve the Great Accomplishment Heavenly Demon Body!"
Then, as if possessed, she launched a frenzied attack on Ye Fan.
There was no denying it—the Heavenly Demon Body, having cultivated for two thousand years, possessed terrifying strength. Though not yet at Great Accomplishment, it had already surpassed living fossils.
Ye Fan didn't engage in a direct confrontation. The situation was too dire—over a dozen sect master-level figures were present. If he stopped to fight, he would surely die.
He activated the Stride Art, shooting out like a bolt of lightning, seizing the only gap and successfully breaking through.
Before the crowd could even recover from the shock of Ye Fan being a Sacred Body, he had already escaped the deadly trap and stood in the distance.
"Where do you think you're going?!" The Heavenly Demon Grandmother's incarnation shouted, turning into a black light to chase after him, determined not to let him go.
"If I want to leave, even your true form couldn't stop me!" Ye Fan strode away into the distance.
The Heavenly Demon Grandmother pursued relentlessly, but before long, she found herself left behind by eighteen mountain ranges, only able to eat his dust.
"This is the Heavenly Demon Extreme Speed technique—how can I not catch up to this brat?" The Heavenly Demon Grandmother muttered to herself, filled with frustration.
Before long, Ye Fan shook off the Heavenly Demon Grandmother and circled back, attacking Yi Qingwu for a direct confrontation.
In that short time, Yan Yixi and Li Tian had narrowly escaped death. It wasn't that they were weak, but their opponents were too strong.
Eight sect master-level figures, plus one of the most terrifying young prodigies—the Taiyin Divine Son—and the foremost among celestial maidens, Yi Qingwu—even several living fossils surrounded like this would meet their end.
Ye Fan attacked, trying to rescue them, but he found that the Eight Virtues Dharma Wheel was an ancient slaughter formation that even affected his footwork.
"Brother Ye, don't waste your strength. That old demoness is coming back—watch out she doesn't hurt you!" Yan Yixi said.
"Let's go all out! This time we've taken heavy losses. Next time, I swear I'll capture Yi Qingwu!" Li Tian roared in anger.
The two exchanged a glance, then each let out a low roar. Their blood flowed backward, surging out of their bodies, and then they merged together.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded. Their bones crackled as they actually fused into one, becoming a stranger. Then, with a boom, they shattered the void and vanished.
In their place, a pool of essence blood remained, emitting astonishing divine power as it burned fiercely.
Two days later, on an ancient mountain, Yan Yixi and Li Tian met Ye Fan again.
"If I don't avenge this, my name isn't Li Tian. This time, I'll shock the world and take Yi Qingwu as my concubine, making her my cauldron." Li Tian swore fiercely.
"Are you thinking of using that thing? Don't act recklessly." Yan Yixi warned.
Ye Fan looked at the two brothers-in-arts strangely, finding it bizarre that they could merge into one. Yet afterward, they didn't explain.
"It's time. We should bring out the Divine Maiden Furnace, which the Eternal Universe Great Emperor helped our sect's founder refine." Li Tian said with a sinister look.
At first, Ye Fan didn't pay attention, but he quickly snapped to attention. "Wait, what did you say? Who helped your founder refine a weapon?!"
