"Princess, run!"
The beautiful middle-aged woman manifested her Dao Weapon and forcibly tore open space, barely managing to send Purple Dragon Girl away. But she herself was surrounded by Saintly Dao Patterns and was gravely wounded by a single strike.
"Ahahaha! What kind of trash Saint Lord are you? You really think this emperor is afraid of you?!"
Black Emperor leaped out again from who knew where. Seeing that only Purple Dragon Girl remained, he grinned wickedly, his dog's mouth stretching almost to his ears.
"So you're a princess? So what if you're Great Emperor's Progeny? You'll still obediently become this emperor's dragon pet!"
After he finished speaking, Black Emperor stepped through the air and excitedly lunged at Purple Dragon Girl.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap rang out, and Black Emperor flew backward even faster than he'd come.
"Gao ni hai!"
Black Emperor crashed heavily to the ground. His cheek was swollen, and he could barely speak clearly.
Seeing Purple Dragon Girl's cold, fearless expression, Ye Chen also steeled himself.
"Dead dog, she's Great Emperor's Progeny, after all. Even without a guardian, an ordinary person wouldn't be her match!"
Duan De came over to Black Emperor and laughed at him, then looked up.
"Ye Kid, my Saint-level Formation Disk can only hold for the time it takes to burn one incense stick. We'd better hurry."
The two men and the dog once again stood in the air, facing Purple Dragon Girl.
In truth, they had planned all of this long in advance.
Aside from luring out Great Emperor's Progeny, which had been beyond their expectations, everything else had gone according to plan.
Even the Saint Lord-level beauty had been part of it.
Ye Fan had even considered the possibility that someone at the Immortal Three level might come.
But that wouldn't have mattered. With the Saint-level Formation Disk in hand, they could trap the woman—who was at Immortal Two—for only the time it took to burn one incense stick. A powerful figure at Immortal Three might break free in just a few breaths.
After all, the Formation Disk was incomplete. But those few breaths would be enough for them to break through the spatial blockade and escape using Black Emperor's teleportation White Jade Platform.
Of course, Ye Fan hadn't even considered the possibility that a Saint-level expert above Immortal Three might appear.
It was now the moment when Azure Emperor's Dao Fruit was about to dissipate. No Saint could emerge at a time like this.
Even if one did, the Dao Fruit of Azure Emperor, on the verge of vanishing, would suppress them to the Immortal Three level.
That was why, when Azure Emperor's Daoist Ground had appeared, even though it contained Azure Emperor's heart and a Supreme Dao Emperor Weapon, the people competing for them had only been Saint Lord-level figures. No Saint had made a move.
It was simply because the Saints couldn't get out.
"Since she's Great Emperor's Progeny, she must have plenty of good stuff on her. We can split it five ways—won't that be more profitable than robbing tombs?"
Ye Fan's eyes lit up too. As an Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, he needed dozens of times more cultivation resources than other people.
That was why he'd agreed to go tomb-robbing with Duan De at the Feathered God Dynasty.
"Are you done talking? If you are, come at me!"
Purple Dragon Girl raised an eyebrow. Her exquisite face remained calm, without a trace of worry.
She waved one hand, and a golden halberd appeared in it. Golden armor covered her, mysterious runes swirling around her like a female war god.
"My god, Dragon Transformation Secret Realm!"
Black Emperor's jaw dropped. Ye Fan furrowed his brow as well.
"Her cultivation is even higher than Yan Ruyu's and Ji Haoyue's!"
In his mind, Ji Haoyue was already one of the best of the younger generation. The Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, meanwhile, was a level reserved for the older generation.
"As expected of Great Emperor's Progeny. She's no one to underestimate."
"Kill!"
Ye Fan didn't hesitate. He turned into a streak of golden light and shot upward, appearing before Purple Dragon Girl in the blink of an eye.
Golden ancient patterns swirled around him, and his blood and qi surged like an ocean, shaking the void without pause.
Duan De and Black Emperor held nothing back either. But unlike Ye Fan, they didn't have an Ancient Desolate Sacred Body tempered by True Dragon Essence Blood, so they didn't dare engage in close combat. They could only use their magic treasures to support Ye Fan.
Ye Fan held nothing back from the moment he attacked. He continuously activated the All Character Secret, hoping to trigger tenfold power.
He also formed hand seals, using the Fight Character Secret taught to him by God King Jiang at Purple Mountain.
Jiang Taixu was known as the greatest attacker in five thousand years, thanks to one of the Nine Secrets, the Nine Secrets: Dou.
It could manifest any secret art or Dao Artifact in the world.
With the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron above his head, Ye Fan wielded the Ji Family's secret art, the Void Great Hand Seal, in one hand, and the Azure Emperor's Emperor Weapon, A Single Lotus Through the Eternal Blue Heavens, in the other.
Though he was only at the Dao Palace Realm, he was still suppressing Purple Dragon Girl.
"As expected of True Dragon Essence Blood. It's given you such strength despite being only at the Dao Palace Realm!"
Purple Dragon Girl's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if two Great Suns were burning within them.
Golden Dragon Qi appeared around her, and her aura surged sharply!
"I follow the invincible path. Even without True Dragon Essence Blood, you still wouldn't be my match!"
Ye Fan shouted angrily. His hands manifested every secret art he'd ever seen, and he attacked Purple Dragon Girl.
"Rumble!"
Terrifying power collided. The entire mountain range looked as if a tornado had swept through it, leaving it pitted and battered.
The two fought faster and faster, until even Black Emperor and Duan De could barely keep up.
"That's the Dao Palace Realm?"
Duan De's body trembled slightly as he looked at Black Emperor in disbelief.
"Even a Great Emperor in his youth couldn't suppress a Dragon Transformation Secret Realm cultivator from the Dao Palace Realm, could he? Especially when she's a prodigy herself."
Black Emperor was just as baffled. It felt as if his entire worldview had collapsed.
He wasn't wrong.
Even a young Great Emperor couldn't be this outrageously powerful.
That was true even of Ye Fan, an Ancient Desolate Sacred Body who could challenge Great Emperors once fully grown.
But Ye Fan was different. He had cultivated the Heavenly Emperor Visualization Method.
As mentioned before, the Heavenly Emperor Visualization Method contained many Great Paths.
Ying Zheng's Path of Fortune, and Little Dragon Girl's Path of Life.
Ye Fan had comprehended the Path of Battle, which could also be called the Path of Invincibility.
It was born for battle!
"Impossible. You haven't used True Dragon Essence Blood!"
After they'd fought for a long while, Purple Dragon Girl's face showed shock for the first time.
She had assumed Ye Fan could contend with her only because he was using the power contained in the True Dragon Essence Blood.
But after several clashes, she realized he was using his own power.
"I told you, I'm invincible even without True Dragon Essence Blood."
Ye Fan's expression turned cold. He waved both hands, and a Golden Winged Great Peng appeared, crashing toward Purple Dragon Girl.
"Pfft!"
Purple Dragon Girl raised her halberd to block, but the Golden Winged Great Peng still struck her chest with one claw. She coughed up a mouthful of golden blood.
Ye Fan had read in ancient books on Blue Star that the Golden Winged Great Peng preyed on True Dragons. So when he thought of the Golden Winged Great Peng he'd seen in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he'd instinctively manifested one. He hadn't expected it to be so effective.
"Cough, cough!"
Purple Dragon Girl clutched her chest, her gaze fixed on Ye Fan with intense killing intent.
"If this man isn't killed, he'll be a formidable rival on the path to the Dao."
Even her father might not have been a match for him in his youth.
At this thought, she used a secret art to draw several drops of essence blood from her body.
Her already-pale face grew even more pallid.
