Seeing the Big Black Dog's posture, Ye Fan whispered, "Did you figure something out?"
The Black Emperor coughed dryly and mumbled, "I didn't see anything."
Then, it trotted over to the little girl and tempted her, "Little darling, want to become her apprentice?"
"Why do I need to become an apprentice?" the Xiao Nannan asked innocently, her face still bearing traces of oil, her bright eyes fixed on the Black Emperor.
"Become my disciple, and I'll feed you elixir porridge every day. I'll teach you unparalleled martial arts comparable to, and even surpassing, those created by that Ruthless One in his later years." The Black Emperor, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, tempted you relentlessly.
"Don't cause any trouble!" Ye Fan had no trust in the Black Emperor's character. Although he accepted the cause and effect of his past life, he didn't want to think about it too much and simply regarded Xiao Nannan as his younger sister.
This time, when he was crossing from the Northern Region to the Southern Region, he originally wanted to use the Domain Gate of the Chaos Palace. However, the Big Black Dog took on the responsibility and said that he would take him across the entire region. Then, the two of them almost died in the spatial turbulence.
"How could that be? What are you thinking? I am going to cultivate a Great Emperor. Just you wait and see."
The Big Black Dog became more and more excited as he talked, his face beaming with smiles, and he began to tempt the Xiao Nannan again.
"How about I take you to the Undying Mountain to pick some tea?"
"I'll take you to the Immortal Mausoleum to find a priceless treasure. Do you want to go?"
"How about I take you to the Divine Ruins to retrieve the Divine Spring?"
"I'll take you to the Primordial Ancient Mine to mine Divine Source, are you willing?"
The Big Black Dog recounted all six forbidden zones of the Eastern Wasteland, but omitted the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Its tail wagged incessantly, and its large face was full of kindness and patience towards the Xiao Nannan.
"How could the Xiao Nannan understand what you said to her?" Ye Fan scolded.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you," the Big Black Dog muttered, then put on a big smile and started playing with the Xiao Nannan, clearly very interested.
"What an adorable puppy!" The Xiao Nannan was very happy, her voice innocent, and she reached out her soft white hand to pet Black Emperor.
The Big Black Dog froze on the spot. It was the first time in its life that someone had said it was cute, especially a little girl. It wanted to bang its head on the ground.
"Haha..." Ye Fan laughed loudly.
After days of being chased, this was the first time he had laughed so heartily, as if he had cast aside all the troubles of the world and was enjoying this moment of bliss.
Looking at the exquisitely beautiful little girl, Ye Fan's gaze softened even more. He wanted to protect everything, and his state of mind was completely different from six years ago.
The ants crawling on the ground and the giant dragons flying in the Nine Heavens never meet; the seeds of dandelions and the colorful clouds in the sky rarely encounter each other. They live in different worlds and will never know each other.
Back when Ye Fan first embarked on the path of cultivation, cultivators at the Life Spring Realm were unattainable in his eyes, and cultivators at the Dao Palace Secret Realm were almost nowhere to be seen.
Different realms, different identities, different journeys—these are experiences everyone has. Standing at different heights, one naturally encounters different things.
Now, the Sea of Bitterness has left him far behind. He can now look down upon the cultivators of the Dao Palace Secret Realm and stand on equal footing with the cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Within the Purple Jade Divine Gourd, the Yaoguang Holy Son, the Wanchu Holy Son, and the Myriad Beginning Saintess are suppressed.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, the evening glow filled the sky, and all was quiet among the mountains. The summit of Thunder Mountain was covered with Blue Moon Tree. Every night, the crescent-shaped leaves would emit a soft glow, transforming into thunder runes, and a faint fragrance would permeate the air. This was a special plant that could be used as a medicinal material for the Life Spring Divine Pill.
As dusk approached, the hazy sunlight enveloped everything. A gentle breeze blew, and the Blue Moon Tree rustled and swayed, casting a hazy glow, their fragrance wafting into the desolate mountain caves.
Suddenly, Ye Fan felt a pang of heart palpitation, as if his soul was issuing a warning. He stood up and looked out of the cave.
His eyes were filled with purple threads, and Source Heaven Divine Sense sensed the abnormality outside.
Meanwhile, the Black Emperor carried the Xiao Nannan on his back and threw out nine divine jades, ready to traverse the Void at any moment.
Outside the cave, dozens of dark figures approached step by step. Each step was firm yet light, landing without a sound, but there was an extremely dangerous aura, as if a Primordial Desolation beast was closing in.
Silently, the mountain range was already filled with chariots and cavalry. Under the sun's rays, more than thirty figures appeared in the sky, gathering together, each exuding a murderous aura. At this moment, they no longer concealed their presence.
Rainbow clouds pierced the sun, banners Shrouding the Heavens, and in the dark clouds was a large black banner with a "King" character written in a flamboyant style.
In an instant, Thunder Mountain trembled slightly, and a gate to a world opened in the Void. A golden ancient chariot flew out, upon which stood a tall figure, like a god or demon.
The moment this figure appeared, Ye Fan's spiritual body felt a sharp pain. The strength of the newcomer was absolutely unimaginable; he was a great cultivator from the Immortal Platform Secret Realm.
"Let's go, leave quickly! A powerful cultivator from the Immortal Platform Secret Realm has appeared."
Ye Fan put the Xiao Nannan into the Jade Purification Bottle and had the Black Emperor summon the Profound Jade Platform to prepare to cross the Void. The newcomer was powerful and his killing intent was bone-chilling; there was probably no way to resist him.
"Oh no, something terrible has happened!" Black Emperor cried out in alarm.
"What happened?" Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling crept into his mind.
"There's no way to traverse the Void!" The Black Emperor was anxious, having failed several times and was starting to panic.
Why is this happening?
Ye Fan frowned. He knew that the Big Black Dog's mastery of array patterns was almost impossible to be countered.
"Those people outside must be carrying a forbidden artifact, and it must have been crafted using the same intricate techniques used in Desolate Antiquity, capable of preventing flight." The Black Emperor had a bad feeling.
At this moment, the divine and demonic shadows on the golden ancient chariot casually struck out with a palm, and endless power of the Dao swirled out, transforming into a gigantic palm that Shrouding the Heavens, intending to flatten the barren mountain in one blow.
Seeing this hand of divine power, the two Yaoguang elders in the sky changed their expressions slightly. If they were in each other's shoes, this palm strike would definitely have seriously injured them. No wonder he is the Qilin of the Wang Clan.
No wonder Wang Chengfeng and other elders of the Wang Clan praised him highly and felt honored by his achievements.
"Boom!"
A dazzling divine light radiated outwards, cleaving a mountain over a thousand feet high in half. A deep purple light pierced through the air, within which was a crystal-clear purple gourd, wrapped with Saint Dao Laws, which instantly annihilated the divine hand.
This is a forbidden artifact personally crafted by Saint; it can unleash the power of the holy path, and no one can stop it in the Dharma Ending Age!
A golden ancient chariot rumbled and flew out, carrying a figure with disheveled black hair, a chiseled face, bronze skin, and a powerful, robust physique. The figure was enveloped in soaring golden light, like Heavenly Emperor descending to earth.
Furthermore, around him were nine True Dragon, nine Divine Phoenix, nine White Tiger, and nine Black Tortoise, flashing with divine light, transforming into the Four Symbols, encircling him.
This was practically a painting of the Heavenly Emperor descending to earth, protected by the four elements of the starry sky. Wang Teng, with his disheveled hair flying wildly, sat atop a central chariot, radiating brilliance and surveying the world as if he were patrolling the heavens.
This person's aura is too strong; even the older generation cannot compare to him. This is a powerful inner potential.
Chapter 309 Nine Revolutions Divine Talisman [Two-in-One]
Dragons and phoenixes resonated in harmony, White Tiger roared to the heavens, and black tortoises traversed the seas. Golden light shone in countless layers, creating a dazzling spectacle. Wang Teng stood motionless atop the ancient war chariot, his gaze profound.
His lips twitched slightly, and he uttered a Daoist phrase that resonated throughout the world.
"I refuse to lay a hand on you, Ye Fan. Hand over the Source Root of Mother Qi of All Things!"
Although his voice was not loud, it resonated in everyone's hearts, full of determination. This time, he gave up breaking through the barrier and traveled from the Northern Plains to the Eastern Wasteland to obtain the Great Emperor's exclusive sacred artifact.
At the summit of the sea of clouds, Ye Fan gazed at Wang Teng, his heart filled with apprehension. He thought to himself, "Is this the Northern Emperor, who is on par with Daoist Su? He truly lives up to his reputation."
"Be careful, the opponent is Northern Plains Wang Teng. His attack just now was comparable to Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure!" Even the usually arrogant Black Emperor was taken aback and gave Wang Teng a very high evaluation.
This is a prodigy on the path to becoming an emperor, emerging from the Big Dipper in the Dharma Ending. Everyone believes he can become an Ancient Saint, or even possess the qualities of Great Emperor.
Ye Fan stepped forward, holding the Purple Jade Divine Gourd, and asked, "Are you from the Northern Plains Wang Family?"
Ahead, Wang Teng stood tall and imposing, exuding an aura of grandeur and majesty, embodying the harmony between heaven and man. With each breath, divine light engulfed the heavens and earth, and he was enveloped in boundless radiance, like a great Great Emperor emerging from ancient times.
He did not make a move. His eyes were deep, as if stars were fading away. His expression was indifferent, showing no emotion. Everything in the outside world seemed insignificant and could not move him at all.
Wang Teng said indifferently, "For the sake of the Peacock King, I'll give you a piece of advice: hand over the Black-Yellow Source Root. You can't keep such a divine object!"
If it weren't for the emergence of a new King in the Green Lotus Dynasty, and the fact that the Peacock King was about to break through the Heavenly Gate of Severing the Dao the Dao, he would never have given Ye Fan this opportunity.
"No need for further explanation, we are destined to be enemies."
Ye Fan's eyes were clear and bright. He faced Wang Teng, who was at the seventh minor realm of the first level of the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform, with the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven. Yet, he showed no fear and exuded a unique aura in his words.
"Not afraid of seeing my true form, you have some courage!" Wang Teng nodded slightly, showing some appreciation for Ye Fan, but this was not an answer to Ye Fan's question.
Suddenly, a Daoist priest in black robes flew out from the Wang Clan's chariot. He was burly and had eyes like knives, cutting off Ye Fan's retreat.
This was a Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure, accompanied by five others, all of whom were Half-Step Great Power cultivators. Their strength was immense, enough to annihilate a cultivator of Ye Fan's level.
Wang Chengfeng said in a deep voice, "Teng'er, why waste words with him? The divine object is right before our eyes; this brat is just trying to stall for time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed a beam of purple light swirling with Chaos energy.
This is a Purple Lightning Hammer that has reached the Saint rank. As soon as it appeared, it unleashed a terrifying holy might, like thousands of Demon Mountain attacking, suppressing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, unstoppable.
Under the pressure of the holy might, Ye Fan unleashed his divine power. In an instant, golden blood energy soared into the sky, and a gleaming golden Heavenly Halberd flew out, which was also a holy divine weapon.
Unlike the cracked Purple Lightning Hammer, the Golden Spear was well-preserved, with only a sword mark on its blade, almost severing it completely.
"This is... Inherited Saint Weapon?" Wang Chengfeng's gaze sharpened, and the killing intent in his heart intensified.
As long as the Sacred Body is killed, the Wang Clan can obtain the Source Root of Mother Qi of All Things and a Saint Weapon. Even if the Peacock King becomes Severing the Dao and comes to question them, he can simply pay with his life.
This was a plan he had made when he left Northern Plains!
"This time, we must obtain the Black-Yellow Source Root for Teng'er, for our Wang Clan will produce a Great Emperor in the future!"
With this thought in mind, a glint flashed in Wang Chengfeng's eyes, and he unleashed the vast magical power of the Immortal Platform Second Heaven, fully activating the Purple Lightning Hammer to deliver Dao Yi strike, aiming to finish the battle in one fell swoop.
The tall man on the golden chariot moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent. However, the stars in his eyes seemed to vanish much faster.
Ye Fan has gained the favor of the Peacock King. Killing him would be ominous, and once the Peacock King reaches the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform, he may very well hold the world accountable.
Now that no Saint appears, the Dao-Slaying King is enough to intimidate the world; wherever his sword points, even the Wang Clan must bow down.
It was precisely for this reason that none of the major powers dared to kill Ye Fan. Only the great Immortal Platform of the Northern Region, unaware of the reason, went all out to try and kill Ye Fan.
A dazzling burst of lightning erupted, shattering the sea of clouds and transforming into hundreds of bolts of lightning, each capable of annihilating Dragon Transformation cultivator. The thousand divine lightning bolts danced together, a spectacle even the Holy Lord dared not confront head-on.
Amidst the thunder and rain, Ye Fan's gaze turned cold. With a jolt of his right arm, showers of light flew out, like pure white feathers, among which was a beautiful purple light.
He summoned the Purple Jade Divine Gourd, chanted incantations, and released the bindings of the forbidden artifact.
Accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder, the purple gourd trembled violently, and the divine runes on its body seemed to revive, bursting out with astonishing light.
"Boom!"
With a cracking sound, a divine pattern on the gourd's body was erased, and two deep cracks appeared on the Purple Jade Divine Gourd, a shocking sight.
The Chaos energy within the gourd coalesced into a wisp of sword light, which flew out from the Yin-Yang Dao Seal, drawing a poignant and beautiful radiance that instantly shattered the thunder and rain. Moreover, the sword light remained powerful as it slashed towards Wang Chengfeng, who wielded the Saint Weapon.
"Puff!"
The divine sword severed Wang Chengfeng's head in an instant, annihilating his soul. It rushed past so fast that there was no time to react.
"Huh!"
Ye Fan was surprised to see a flash of light in the distance, and Wang Chengfeng was painfully reconstructing himself, his body about to reappear, with a divine talisman between his eyebrows, flowing with strange light.
In the distance, the elders of the Yaoguang Holy Land also stared at the divine talisman. It was less than an inch long, as if cast from pure gold, flowing with divine radiance, possessing an ancient charm, and covered with Dao patterns.
The Nine Revolutions Divine Talisman was forged by the only Great Emperor of the Northern Plains — the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor. It can sacrifice itself in place of the user, possesses the wonder of seizing the Fortune of heaven and earth, and is a sacred object for protection.
