Chapter 860: Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel
No one had expected that they would immediately engage in the most brutal and primitive close-quarters combat, blood drenching everything—a scene too gruesome to behold.
This was a physical contest between the bloodline of an Ancient Emperor and the Human Sacred Body. Which was stronger, which weaker? Which constitution reigned supreme? At this very moment, the answer was being revealed.
"Pfft"
Blood gushed forth as Yuangu's towering form was split vertically in two, sending a rain of blood flying through the air, causing the hearts of many among the various Ancient tribes to nearly stop beating.
How could this be? The Emperor Yuan had once looked down upon the Ancient era. Their physiques were invincible, sweeping across three thousand worlds, reversing the Six Paths of Reincarnation, omnipotent and all-powerful. His bloodline descendant was unmatched in the world, akin to a young Emperor Yuan reborn, contending with the Human Sacred Body. Yet before their eyes, how could such a horrifying scene unfold?
"Yuangu has been cleaved in two by a living person!"
Both the Ancient tribes and the Human race erupted in uproar. No one could believe what they were seeing.
An Ancient Emperor could suppress the heavens with one hand, overlooking the ages. After attaining the Dao, it was rare to find an opponent worthy of their effort—they represented the ultimate pinnacle of power.
Yuangu's veins flowed with the blood of Emperor Yuan. The Ancient tribes all knew this. His physical body represented immortality; no one could match him in raw strength, unless another Ancient Imperial Prince intervened.
Yet this Human Sacred Body, a constitution not well understood, had actually accomplished this feat. Could it be that this Human physique could truly contend with a young Emperor Yuan?
On Qixia Plain, chaos erupted. The Ancient tribes were thrown into panic. How had the Human race become so terrifying? Far surpassing the era before the Ancient times, were they still the same weak race of old?
"Boom"
Suddenly, Ye Fan's body also exploded. Centered on his chest—the very spot where Yuangu had punched through earlier—it now completely collapsed. Golden Sacred Blood splattered everywhere, a shocking sight.
People cried out in alarm. Both individuals had their physical bodies destroyed. This was too brutal—mutual destruction.
"Ye Fan!"
Li Heishui, Dongfang Ye, Li Tian, and others shouted in alarm. This was far too tragic. Having their bodies shattered at the very start filled everyone with dread. After all, this was the Human Sacred Body, whose physical form was unparalleled.
"The bloodline of an Ancient Emperor is truly incomparable. Even the Human Sacred Body can be shattered—it's terrifying," Black Emperor muttered to himself.
"Little Leaf..." Ji Ziyue cried out, her mouth wide open, tears welling in her large eyes. Fear gripped her heart. As a descendant of an Ancient Great Emperor, she knew full well the terror of such a bloodline inheritance, for her family's records regarding "Imperial Sons" were very clear.
"Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel, illuminate my immortal body!"
On Qixia Plain, a low roar echoed, like an ancient malevolent spirit returning, breaking free from its shackles, slaughtering its way out of hell.
Between Yuangu's two halves, a crystalline, radiant treasure wheel appeared, spotless and pure, shining with undying light. The two halves of his body rapidly merged, and he was reborn in an instant.
One of Emperor Yuan's secret arts—the Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel!
Borrowing the power of heaven and earth, it reshapes the self, achieving immortality, reigning over the world, indestructible through countless calamities.
The onlookers drew in cold breaths. How could one even fight against this? For cultivators, life was the most precious treasure. Yuangu's bloodline was unmatched, and with such a secret art, he was simply invincible.
On the other side, a chain of order appeared, linking all the flesh and Sacred Blood together. It clattered as it wove a life Dao pattern.
The scattered Golden Blood flowed backward. Every piece of flesh reversed course and merged together. Ye Fan's physical form fused and became one again.
"Boom"
Divine radiance surged, bursting forth from his pores. He once again became a flawless physical body. Golden blood energy filled the sky, restoring him to his peak state, astonishing the spectators as well.
Both individuals were unharmed. In an instant, they were full of vitality, their battle intent even higher. They radiated boundless light, as if to drown heaven and earth!
"Human Sacred Body, you truly exceed my expectations!" Yuangu roared.
"You, on the other hand, haven't exceeded mine!" Ye Fan retorted sharply.
A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering duel unfolded.
"Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel!" Yuangu's words were cold, like echoes from an ice cellar, reverberating across Qixia Plain.
Above his head, the treasure wheel appeared again, flying out from within his body. It illuminated his own immortality while shining upon his enemy's decay. This was one of Emperor Yuan's divine arts, difficult to counter.
"Ah..."
Wherever the Primordial Light passed, many people's eyes bled as they retreated in terror. Even tens of miles away, this was the effect. One could imagine the terrifying power up close.
"Whoosh"
Ye Fan vanished from his spot. The secret art from the Heavenly Court Slaughter Scripture unfolded. He transformed into a god of slaughter. The entire world turned blood-red, and killing intent was everywhere.
"Primordial Light Wheel, illuminate and break through all realms. You cannot evade!" Yuangu shouted in a low voice. The wheel of light hovered above his head, shining in all directions. Void space continuously annihilated.
It was like a blazing divine furnace standing in a frozen wasteland, melting all the wind and snow, leaving only itself eternal and enduring.
"When have I ever evaded!" A cold voice sounded beside him. Ye Fan formed a sword with his fingers and slashed down.
"Pfft"
One of Yuangu's arms fell, blood spurting. Yet he didn't even blink, saying, "The blood of Emperor Yuan is never shed in vain."
The void trembled. The Primordial Light Treasure Wheel descended, illuminating every drop of blood. It transformed into a sea of blood, trapping Ye Fan within.
A single grain of sand contains a world. This was a secret art that only those with heaven-reaching power could execute.
Drops of blood linked together, forming a vast ocean. Qixia Plain became a sea of blood. Yuangu sat cross-legged at the center, the Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel above his head. He began to chant incantations, intending to refine Ye Fan.
"The Dao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to all things..."
A single Azure Lotus swayed, its roots in the sea of blood, accompanying Ye Fan. He also sat down cross-legged. Chaotic Qi swirled around him. The three-leaf Sea of Suffering Azure Lotus seemed like the embodiment of the Dao itself, absorbing the power of the blood sea to refine Yuangu in turn.
Yuangu snorted coldly, his eyes snapping open. He held the Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel in his hand, shining with deathly light, and pressed it down toward Ye Fan. The heavens in all directions collapsed, rumbling incessantly.
Amidst the Dao's resonance, an Immortal King rose behind Ye Fan, seated high above the Nine Heavens, overlooking the vast earth. He extended a great hand downward, intending to obliterate the Primordial Light Treasure Wheel.
Clanging sounds rang out, as if ten thousand heavenly swords were being unleashed simultaneously. Each beam of deathly light shot from the Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel was dozens or even hundreds of feet long, slashing toward the Immortal King.
Ye Fan let out a great roar. His true body merged with the Immortal King. Holding the Azure Lotus in his hand, he stepped down from the Nine Heavens in one stride. Swinging the three-leaf Dao Lotus, he shattered all ten thousand heavenly swords, the clanging sounds echoing without end.
He held the Azure Lotus and struck the Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel. A cracking sound was heard. The Primordial Light dimmed, as if it were disintegrating. Black deathly light splattered everywhere.
However, the three-leaf Dao Lotus in Ye Fan's hand, like the embodiment of the Dao, was wreathed in strands of Chaotic Qi. It blocked all the dark light, becoming even more lush and verdant.
"Crack"
The Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel split open, cracks appearing all over it. Then, with a pop, it exploded. It was formed from Dao patterns and could condense and disperse without fixed form, able to manifest again. But even so, Yuangu's expression changed.
"Slap"
Ye Fan, merged with the Immortal King, swung the Azure Lotus repeatedly, striking Yuangu's body. Even his Emperor Blood physique, as powerful as it was, could not withstand it. It nearly split apart, sending him tumbling backward several times.
This was no ordinary injury. It was inflicted by the Dao Lotus, making it difficult to heal. He coughed up several mouthfuls of dark blood and quickly retreated, manifesting the Reincarnation Wheel to heal himself.
"Divine Domain!"
Yuangu roared, stabilizing his decline. His body emitted billions of rays of light, forming a Divine Domain. Within this ten-foot space, he was like a deity. Heaven and earth obeyed his commands. Everything revolved around him.
"Whoosh"
Ye Fan retreated. His entire body also radiated boundless light. A golden circular domain appeared—his exclusive Sacred Domain activated. All laws were kept at bay, and he stood independent within it.
The two each occupied their own domain, radiating billions of divine rays that filled every inch of void. The world became bright and resplendent. They became utterly sacred and majestic.
"Boom"
The battle resumed. The two domains collided violently. Fierce combat began. They transformed into two bolts of lightning. Wherever they passed, great mountains and rivers collapsed, leaving devastation in their wake.
Mountain ranges were like paper, fragile and unable to withstand a single blow. They fought from Qixia Plain into the desolate mountain ranges, as if creating a new world order, destroying all old structures. Entire mountain ranges were lifted into the air, shattered by the shockwaves into the sky above.
Their battle had a vast reach, affecting everyone's hearts. People followed closely, watching with intense concern. This battle had raged from the first rays of dawn until noon, over a thousand exchanges already passed.
Brilliant rays, dazzling light, mysterious Dao patterns—one after another, layer upon layer, they emerged endlessly, dazzling the eyes with an inexhaustible array of wondrous techniques.
"Clang!"
A single, clear ringing sound pierced through all the light, all the noise. From Yuangu's brow, a one-inch-long divine sword emerged, dazzling and resplendent, clanging with power.
"What is that? A Sage's sword? Or an Ancient Emperor's secret weapon?"
Everyone's expressions shifted, for they sensed a strange power. The divine sword had not yet been unleashed, but its sword waves had already destroyed countless mountains and lands.
In all directions, countless peaks were reduced to dust, turned into desert, forever gone. The killing intent extinguished all life here, turning it into barren wasteland.
"It's not a weapon. It's a secret art from Emperor Yuan's scripture—the Emperor Yuan Dao Sword!" A royal clan member from Primordial Lake said coldly, full of confidence.
This was not a weapon. It was formed from a chain of order and rules, taking on the shape of a sword when materialized. But its essence was the Dao itself, hence the name Emperor Yuan Dao Sword. Its killing power shook the ages, terrifying and boundless.
"It has finally appeared. This must be a forbidden secret art from Emperor Yuan's scripture. Everyone who has seen it in the past has died!" Some Ancient beings muttered to themselves.
"Pfft"
Sure enough, nothing could stop it. The one-inch Emperor Yuan Dao Sword was unstoppable. It pierced through the Golden Sacred Domain in one strike, entered Ye Fan's shoulder, and passed through, bringing with it a shower of golden blood rain.
"Clang"
The Emperor Yuan Dao Sword flew out, then turned around and slashed down vertically. Ye Fan reached out with both hands, catching the sword, intending to break it.
However, the inch-long, dazzling Dao sword was not a physical entity. At this moment, it transformed into a chain of order, shattering the void. It turned Ye Fan's hands into part of the law itself, nearly severing them, blood dripping everywhere.
Weapon Art!
Ye Fan clasped his hands together, emitting a burst of radiance. With a "clang," he merged with the Dao sword, holding it between his fingers and charging straight at Yuangu, turning into a beam of divine light.
Yuangu roared, his hair disheveled. He formed hand seals and blasted outward, saying, "You underestimate the Emperor Yuan Dao Sword!"
Ye Fan's hands melted under the Dao sword, but his own laws were also unleashed. The Weapon Art not only temporarily neutralized the Emperor Yuan Dao Sword but also transformed his own body into a weapon.
"You..." Yuangu cried out in alarm. Ye Fan, like a peerless heavenly sword, pierced through his body, sending dark blood flying everywhere.
The Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel appeared. Ye Fan extended a large hand to grab it, while also stomping down with a giant foot. His body radiated boundless light, giving Yuangu no chance to reincarnate. With a "puff," he stepped down onto Yuangu's split-open chest, landing on the ground and stomping his body into four or five pieces.
It was truly unexpected. During this double ticket period, the competition was so fierce. It seemed like I was going to be overtaken twice in one day. I feel powerless to raise my arm. I shed tears and beg for votes. Today, I want to work hard and write three chapters. If you have votes, please cast them. Otherwise, it's too discouraging. There are still two chapters tonight.
