Chapter 741: Nine Grand Ancestral Crows
"Ye Fan, I will kill you for ten lifetimes!" Lu Ya roared, his divine feathers pointing to the sky, his hair bristling upward in fury, every pore on his body shooting golden light high into the heavens for ten thousand zhang.
But this could not change anything. Ye Fan mercilessly pressed down his great hand, and Wu Gu Dao Ren burst apart, shattered into four or five pieces.
"I only need to cut you down once. One life extinguished, and all eternity turns to emptiness!" This was Ye Fan's response.
The powerful Wu Gu Dao Ren became a mist of blood, yet it did not disperse. Within it, a Golden Crow primordial spirit flickered, chanting a demonic scripture, shooting out a trail of Dao marks.
"Burn my demonic body, ignite my essence soul, fall together into the purgatory... Golden Crow Death Curse!" Wu Gu Dao Ren roared unwillingly, filled with venom.
"Having survived the Yin Yang Death Curse tribulation, such things can no longer harm my spirit," Ye Fan said. His body was crystalline, and the Golden Sacred Domain expanded, shielding him within.
He stood like a divine statue, radiant and gleaming, encircled by layer upon layer of golden divine rings. All techniques could not touch his body—this was his unique "Sacred Domain."
Ye Fan's five fingers were like five golden mountains, each one soaring into the high heavens before pressing down, dispelling all traces of the death curse.
"Pfft"
Wu Gu Dao Ren let out a great cry, but in the end, he could not withstand the crushing force of the five golden fingers. His primordial spirit and the death curse were destroyed together, erased from the Primordial Ruins. Unlike the Yin Yang Old Sect Master, he failed to inflict a Dao wound on Ye Fan.
"Wu Gu of the eighth step of the second level of the Immortal Platform, the first heir of the Golden Crow Clan, invincible and dominating an entire domain, was killed just like that."
"That young man named Ye is too terrifying. He has already slain nine princes of the Golden Crow Clan. He is truly unmatched in bravery!"
Everyone was stunned. Not a single person's heart did not tremble. In the process, people were frantically retreating because Lu Ya had arrived.
With a long roar, mountains cracked and the earth split. Countless rocks and soil surged up, flying a thousand zhang into the air. Lu Ya's golden hair stood on end as he swung the Crow Wing Flowing Gold Halberd down.
Ye Fan held the crystalline divine furnace in his hand, stepping up to the heavens in one stride, resisting the ancient saintly might as he charged forward to battle.
"Boom!"
This strike was like two ancient universes colliding, emitting an aura of great destruction. The sky was ruined beyond recognition, like a destroyed world in a painting.
"Clang"
Lu Ya was unstoppable. After a frontal clash with Ye Fan, as they passed each other, he swung the Crow Wing Flowing Gold Halberd backhanded in a diagonal slash, unleashing an immortal divine light.
Ye Fan took a single step, holding the fist-sized, translucent divine furnace in his left hand, and ascended to the high heavens.
"Boom"
The terrifying pressure of the ancient saintly weapon surged out, like an ocean crashing against the shore, shaking heaven and earth. As the Crow Wing Flowing Gold Halberd swept down, the ground was torn apart!
All around the Primordial Ruins, crisscrossing and intersecting, countless terrifying great canyons burst forth. Many mountains collapsed into them, falling into the abyss of the earth.
"Ah..."
Countless screams rang out. Who knew how many cultivators failed to escape this calamity, all buried beneath the earth.
This single strike caused the Primordial Ruins, a famous ancient site across the continents, to vanish completely, becoming history, forever erased from the world.
It was a terrifying scene, like the arrival of the apocalypse. The earth shattered, and the vast, boundless wasteland sank and cracked without end!
Lu Ya was cold and merciless, paying no heed to the countless dead. He gripped the Crow Wing Flowing Gold Halberd and charged again.
Living beings were devastated, the earth stained with blood. A great number of cultivators met with disaster, and even figures at the second level of the Immortal Platform fell.
Lu Ya's heart was as hard as iron and stone. His eyes held only killing intent. The fall of lives, the bones and blood of cultivators—none of it mattered to him. He only wanted to kill Ye Fan.
Ye Fan faced him. This was not their first meeting, but it was the first true confrontation between their true bodies. This battle had nothing to do with anything else—only life and death!
"Ye Fan, you killed my nine brothers! The blood debt is deep, beyond what bamboo slips can record! Ah..." Lu Ya went mad. With nine brothers slain, his five viscera and six organs felt as if they were burning.
When a person reaches the extreme of anger, white smoke truly emerges from the seven orifices. At this moment, he was like a furnace, with fiery smoke rising, his expression terrifying beyond measure.
"They deserved to die!" Ye Fan only said these four words, unwilling to say more.
Lu Ya said no more either. His golden pupils were stained with blood, and he swooped down with endless, frenzied killing intent, wishing he could smash Ye Fan to death with a single strike of his halberd.
The Crow Wing Flowing Gold Halberd cut through eternity, bringing with it a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Countless bodies like gods and demons fell, a terrifying sight that shocked the world.
"What is that? Gods and demons? Or are they the extraterrestrial deities slain by ancient saints in bygone days?" Those who had escaped the calamity were shaken, standing at a sufficiently distant horizon, wide-eyed as they watched this scene.
From ancient times to the present, this halberd had slain who knows how many. These were the reappearing blood souls of the supreme experts killed in the past!
"Boom"
The Divine Maiden Furnace in Ye Fan's hand awakened. It did not seem to be cast from bronze but rather from five-colored glass, its entire body smooth, translucent, and sparkling with precious light.
At this moment, it emitted ten-thousand-zhang waves, an ocean formed from divine power, striking out like a star domain to counter the halberd.
This strike caused heaven and earth to split apart. The world was filled with light, and nothing else could be seen. Even the two dueling parties were submerged.
This was the pressure of a saintly weapon, a power that destroyed all things in the human world. Anyone who entered would feel as insignificant as an ant, destined to turn to ash.
The two wielded saintly weapons, naturally protected by the furnace and the halberd. Otherwise, they could not have survived. Amid the surging divine energy, they stood as firm as boulders.
"Clang"
Lu Ya stood within the Sun Essence Fire. The halberd in his hand flew above his head, suspended there, suppressing heaven, earth, and void, as eternal as a god.
Both possessed ancient saintly weapons. Now, they each displayed divine techniques, using the weapons' enhancement to strike out.
The Nine Grand Ancestral Crow Dharma Bodies appeared behind Lu Ya. Heaven and earth split apart, emitting a grand and majestic aura, as if a true ancient Great Emperor had emerged!
Lu Ya's greatest gain from four years of seclusion was cultivating these Nine Grand Ancestral Crow Dharma Bodies, possessing a power that shook heaven and earth with unfathomable, ghostly might.
"Expand the Sea Without Shores!"
He let out a great roar. One of the Ancestral Crow Dharma Bodies flew out, its form pressing down on heaven and earth, swallowing divine radiance. A vast, boundless ocean surged, without shore or limit.
This was not a sea, but immeasurable Sun Essence Fire!
Lu Ya stood at the center of the divine sea, gathering the essence of the eight directions, merging it into the flames. He stood like a demon god. This strike, the Ancestral Crow's "Expand the Sea Without Shores," pressed down upon Ye Fan.
Immeasurable Sun Essence Fire and the world's essence from all directions fell like a canopy from the heavens. Ye Fan, with the divine furnace suspended above his head, sat cross-legged in the void, his entire body glowing.
He floated within the Sun Essence Fire, every inch of his flesh crystalline, as if reborn eternally in the divine flames. The first Ancestral Crow could not harm him; he borrowed it to temper his body.
"Open Heaven and Earth!"
Lu Ya's shout rang out. The second Ancestral Crow flew out, transforming into an eternal scroll painting, covering the sky and earth after being enhanced by the saintly weapon.
This was a real small world. Inside were mountains and rivers, ancient trees and silver waterfalls, birds and beasts. This Ancestral Crow had turned itself into a realm, seeking to refine Ye Fan within it.
"Even the blue sky has a time when its lifespan ends. One weapon breaks all techniques—sever the realm!"
Ye Fan let out a soft cry. Two dragon-shaped beams of light shot from his eyes, intertwining, and then, enhanced by the Divine Maiden Furnace, shot outward.
No weapon in hand, but a weapon in the heart. With an indomitable will as the soul, he condensed his soaring battle intent into a weapon. One weapon breaks all techniques—he struck out.
This was a primordial spirit sword, unbreakable and unstoppable. It was Ye Fan's imitation of the Demon Emperor Nine Slashes, evolved through the Battle Character Art, possessing boundless divine power.
Trapped at the North Sea Eye for four years, he had comprehended the Dao for four years, meditating on all the world's techniques. This, too, was one of his Dao fruits.
The primordial spirit Dao sword possessed the power of the Demon Emperor Nine Slashes, combined with the art of one weapon breaking all techniques, capable of slaying gods and Buddhas!
Within that Ancestral Crow world, it cut across three thousand li. With one strike, mountains and rivers shattered; with a second, great rivers dried up; with a third, all living things were extinguished; and with a fourth, the realm itself collapsed!
The primordial spirit Dao sword slashed out, cleaving straight at Lu Ya, intercepting the Nine Grand Ancestral Crows, extinguishing their immeasurable divine power. It was like a weeping divine light, carving an immortal radiance.
Lu Ya struck back with a long roar, his hair dancing wildly. Distant mountain ranges crumbled one after another. Wielding the ancient saintly weapon granted him a trace of saintly might.
Behind him, the third Ancestral Crow flew out, transforming into sun, moon, and stars. A cluster of great stars rose and fell, as if they had arrived in the dark depths of the universe.
The primordial spirit Dao sword, like divine metal, descended with a brilliant flash, as if splitting heaven and opening realms, reaching everywhere. It collided with these great stars. The evolution and destruction of stars all happened in an instant.
Amid the resonant hum of the Dao, the stars fell. A crack appeared on Lu Ya's brow. The primordial spirit Dao sword flew back, vanishing into Ye Fan's eyes, returning to his Immortal Platform.
What kind of technique was that? It could resist the Nine Grand Ancestral Crow Dharma Bodies. Ye Fan was truly divine and brave—this was the thought in everyone's hearts.
"Clang," "Clang," "Clang"...
Thousands upon thousands of sword cries rang out. Golden Crow divine feathers filled the sky, falling like a golden blizzard, a vast, brilliant expanse.
After a brief probing, Lu Ya unleashed all Nine Grand Ancestral Crow Dharma Bodies at once. Like Ye Fan, he wanted an instant kill, with no intention of fighting for hundreds or thousands of rounds.
With the nine crows emerging together, it was as if the ancient ancestor of the clan had reappeared with supreme might. The heavens trembled, the earth shook, and the void itself crumbled.
All of this, enhanced by the ancient divine halberd, became so terrifying, as if the Golden Crow Ancestor had truly returned, once again dominating the land!
Ye Fan was fearless. The Divine Maiden Furnace above his head floated and sank, letting down thousands upon thousands of divine power threads, shielding him.
A Dao resonance rang out. Various lights flew from his body. Divine phenomena like the Immortal King Overlooking the Nine Heavens and the Golden Sea of Bitterness emerged together, fused into one, as if they could sever the three thousand realms!
Similarly, the Sacred Body's divine phenomena, enhanced by the ancient divine furnace, were also incomparably terrifying, cutting across heaven and earth. With me, there is no enemy! Ye Fan stood within, like a divine lord patrolling the heavens, looking down on the world.
Beside Lu Ya, the nine crows crossed the sky. They were not divine phenomena but Dharma bodies, as if the undying battle souls of the distant ancestor had returned. The world was filled with howling yin winds and surging demonic clouds.
"Kill!"
Both charged forward, eager to slay their opponent immediately. Both advanced without hesitation, leaving no path of retreat.
Lu Ya's golden hair stood on end, his eyes wide open, the beams from his pupils stretching for several li. With a great roar, mountains, rivers, and all things trembled.
Ye Fan's thick black hair flew toward the heavens. In his eyes were the traces of the sun and moon's rotation, as well as the birth and death of stars—the marks of the Dao.
Immeasurable killing intent surged. Their clash was like the arrival of great destruction. Everyone held their breath, waiting for this earth-shattering, ultimate duel!
