Wang Chengfeng quickly recovered, enduring the excruciating pain in his body and soul, and said to Ye Fan with a sinister smile, " Sacred Body, I'd like to see how many times you can use your forbidden artifact!"
Wang Chengfeng then summoned back the Purple Lightning Hammer that had fallen into the mountains and unleashed another Holy Dao Yi Strike.
Seeing the other party's fearlessness, Ye Fan's heart sank. This time, he was in dire straits. He did not recognize the Nine Revolutions Divine Talisman, but judging from Wang Chengfeng's condition, he guessed the effect of the talisman.
Including this time, the Purple Jade Divine Gourd has been used twice now. Although the forbidden artifact is incredibly powerful, it is difficult to maintain for long, as the opponent has a substitute death talisman.
As the Black Emperor was inscribing new Void array patterns, it sensed the danger and, its face turning green, took out a piece of divine jade—the divine jade pendant given to it by Su Yu.
The Big Black Dog crushed the divine jade and howled, "Damn it, kid Ye, I've really lost out this time! If we were in Purple Mountain, even if he brought out Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, he wouldn't have been able to do anything to us!"
"Stop complaining, I'll try and see if I can kill Wang Teng!"
Ye Fan, fearless and dauntless, with a golden spear above his head and Purple Jade Divine Gourd in his hand, flew towards Wang Teng.
Since he harbored the intention to kill him, he would show no mercy; this time, he intended to directly annihilate the young master of the Wang Clan.
Seeing Ye Fan flying towards him with Saint artifact, Wang Teng broke free and disappeared into the Void, leaving behind a divine thought avatar. Then, the golden chariot moved, crushing through the sky and crashing towards Ye Fan. Wang Teng's divine thought avatar formed a dragon seal, suppressing Ye Fan like Heavenly Emperor emperor subduing demons.
"Boom!"
With its vigorous energy and terrifying fluctuations, like a star field falling from the sky, Wang Teng unleashed eighty-one True Dragon in an instant.
The dragon's roar shook the four directions, causing mountains and rivers to tremble. The sound resounded throughout the universe, deafeningly loud. Each of the eighty-one Heavenly Dragon was like an Eternal god, powerful and terrifying, absolutely capable of annihilating Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure.
Ye Fan formed hand seals and unleashed the Source Heavenly Divine Technique, transforming 100,000 jin of Origin into the essence of heaven and earth, which he then poured into the Saint Weapon.
"Bang!"
A metallic clang rang out as the Saint Weapon rose and fell, flying towards the True Dragon. With each swing of the halberd, it possessed the power to overturn heaven and earth. The golden rainbow directly struck the eighty-one Heavenly Dragon, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and endless sounds. In one fell swoop, it annihilated all the illusory images of the True Dragon, turning a convoy of chariots belonging to the Wang Clan into a bloody mist. Corpses and bones littered the sky, causing Wang Chengfeng's eyes to widen in fury.
Ye Fan, his hair disheveled, roared, "If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay the price!"
The halberd struck the golden chariot, halting its advance. This ancient chariot was a sealed, Inherited Saint Weapon; though it could no longer unleash its unparalleled holy power, its essence remained intact.
Wang Teng emerged from the Void rift, and the golden chariot flew back, carrying him aboard. He stood motionless like an ancient god or demon, his entire body radiating golden light.
Even though his clansmen had died, Wang Teng remained calm and didn't utter a single word. True Dragon, Divine Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise swirled around him, their light shining in countless rays, protecting the central Heavenly Emperor.
"Clang!"
As the clouds dissipated, a figure flew out with lightning speed. Wang Chengfeng unleashed his divine avatar, activating the Purple Lightning Hammer once more in the sky, attempting to force Ye Fan to use the Purple Jade Divine Gourd again.
"Buzz!"
Ye Fan roared and used the Source Heavenly Divine Technique to activate his Saint Weapon, annihilating the opponent's avatar. Then, stepping on the Merak Steps, he flew towards Wang Chengfeng's main body like a thunderbolt, once again activating the Purple Jade Divine Gourd and unleashing a Saint strike.
The Great Power Wang Clan was utterly shocked, not expecting Ye Fan's incredible speed. The sword light flashed past, and no matter how Wang Chengfeng dodged, even disappearing into the Void, he couldn't escape.
The sword light, like a leech, followed closely behind. Accompanied by a scream, the Chaos Sword directly annihilated Wang Chengfeng's physical body and soul, turning him into a pile of bloody mud.
Within the sword light domain, Ye Fan captured the falling Purple Lightning Hammer in his hand and then suppressed it within the golden spear.
With the Holy Path Battle Spear atop his head, golden blood energy filled the sky, and his black hair flowing freely, he resembled a demon as he charged towards the Wang Clan's forces.
The opponent had foreseen everything except the Source Heavenly Divine Technique.
Black Emperor followed closely behind Ye Fan, still inscribing Dao patterns. The Big Black Dog barked, "This time, with the bloodbath against the Desolate Ancient Family, and the Japanese Emperor personally coming to the Northern Plains, we will surely annihilate the Wang Clan!"
"I'd like to see how many Source Stone you have!"
Wang Chengfeng, reborn, glared at Ye Fan through gritted teeth. He then received a damaged Holy Tower from his clansmen. This time, he learned from his previous experience and, like a Daoist master, dragged Ye Fan from a distance, using his Power of Thought to activate the Holy Tower.
The Desolate Ancient Family has a profound foundation, and Wang Teng has also obtained the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor. His status in the Wang Clan is extremely high, and if necessary, he can use all his resources.
This time, Ye Fan ran out of tricks. He was being deliberately watched by his opponent and couldn't get close at all, so he was forced to use the forbidden weapon again.
Chaos Sword Qi crisscrossed, and Wang Chengfeng let out a miserable scream as his soul was severed and his body turned into blood mist. The Purple Jade Divine Gourd in Ye Fan's hand was also covered with cracks and was about to shatter.
Three breaths later, a divine talisman flashed with light, and Wang Chengfeng was resurrected once more. Despite being repeatedly annihilated by the Holy Sword Light, his face was deathly pale, his true spirit dim, and his combat power greatly diminished. However, seeing the soon-to-be-shattered Purple Jade Divine Gourd, he sneered, "Useless body! I will suppress your soul in this icy pool for a thousand years!"
He merged with the Void once more, disappearing into the sky, and used his divine power to activate the Purple Copper Holy Tower, attempting to destroy Ye Fan's Saint artifact.
At this moment, the Black Emperor finally finished inscribing the spatial array patterns. Ye Fan retrieved the Purple Jade Divine Gourd, stepped onto the Profound Jade Platform, and broke through the Void to cross over.
Just as the two were about to leave, Wang Teng, who had disappeared into the Void, made a move.
"Clang!"
Suddenly, Wang Teng slowly drew a golden holy sword from his back. With each inch it appeared, tens of thousands of rays of holy light burst forth, dazzling the eye.
At this moment, a vast, boundless power surged in all directions, causing the cultivators of the distant Yaoguang Holy Land to retreat involuntarily, sensing an unparalleled and powerful fighting spirit.
This is a terrifying mindset of "who else but me?" and "I am the only one who matters," as if one wants to control the entire world and have everything in one's hands.
An extremely cold aura permeated the air. With each inch the Crimson Gold Heavenly Emperor Sword rose higher, it unleashed tens of thousands of divine powers, causing the distant mountains to shatter.
This was not a manifestation of divine thought, but a golden holy sword. With a resounding clang, it appeared in Wang Teng's hand. He stood on the ancient war chariot and unleashed a sword beam.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Ye Fan didn't even have time to react and could only watch helplessly as the Profound Jade Platform exploded.
At this moment, Wang Chengfeng's hair stood on end, as if he had gone mad. He activated the Purple Copper Holy Pagoda and unleashed a holy Dao Yi. In an instant, holy might filled the mountains, and a magnificent beam of purple light pierced through the air.
"Bang!"
As dusk fell and the Silver Moon rose, a jade gourd radiating purple light exploded, sending countless fragments scattering outwards, intertwined with points of light, dazzling like stars.
The final Chaos Sword pierced through the sky, unleashing endless dazzling sword energy. Its light Tongtian the heavens, traversing the world and making this region even more intense and fierce.
This time, Ye Fan deliberately shattered the forbidden artifact, turning this place into a dead end and sealing off all Void crossings. He then put the Black Emperor into the Jade Purification Bottle and used the Merak Steps to escape into the distance.
However, Wang Teng rode his golden chariot into the sword energy domain, and no matter how many sword energies roared around him, they could not break through the golden chariot's protection.
Seeing the chariots closing in behind him, a hint of killing intent flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. An ancient jade pendant appeared in his sleeve; this was a life-saving item given to him by the Jiang Family Saint, containing a wisp of his spirit, enough to protect his life.
Wang Teng stood atop a golden ancient chariot, with dragons and phoenixes singing in harmony, White Tiger roaring to the sky, and a black tortoise traversing the sea. Golden light shone in countless layers, dazzling and magnificent. Just like an ancient emperor surveying the heavens, he caught up with Ye Fan in an instant.
This time, he said no more and directly struck down with his palm, extremely domineering, wanting to grab Ye Fan in his hand.
A divine hand, powerful enough to Shrouding the Heavens the sky and earth, was wrapped with nine True Dragon, their dragon energy roaring and carrying an unstoppable force as it struck Ye Fan.
Just as Ye Fan was about to summon the jade pendant, a gap opened in the Void, and a Chaos finger burst forth, its Chaos energy overflowing. It was enormous and boundless, covering the entire region, and fell with a rumble, like a pillar supporting the sky collapsing.
The Chaos finger fell, directly blasting away the Shrouding the Heavens hand. A Daoist priest dressed in a purple-gold robe stepped forward. Su Yu's gaze was calm, and his eyes seemed to reflect the passage of time.
He radiated divine light, surrounded by auspicious clouds, and strode through the sky, step by step, until he arrived above the sea of clouds.
Under the laws of time, Wang Teng's nine True Dragon, nine Divine Phoenix, nine White Tiger, and nine Black Tortoise phantoms all turned into light mist and dissipated into the world.
Wang Teng's eyes were sharp. Standing on the golden ancient chariot, holding the Heavenly Emperor's Golden Sword, his face revealed neither joy nor anger. He said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Cao, do you wish to be my enemy?"
Chapter 310 The Struggle for the Imperial Path
As the sun sets in the Golden Crow, the magnificent sunset dissipates into the sky and earth, and the hazy night descends.
High in the sky, Su Yu's expression was calm, and the purple-gold bell mark between his brows shone brightly, radiating soft rays of light.
He stared at the golden chariot beneath Wang Teng's feet, his expression unreadable.
Throughout the entire era of Shrouding the Heavens, the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor is unique, and it is extremely detrimental to the inheritor.
The Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon originally meant to protect Wang Teng — the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Axe— never appeared, remaining buried deep in the Northern Plains; the apparent protector, the Crane of the Chaotic Ancient Era lineage, hadn't even reached the Saint rank; and they even sealed away a Saint-level chariot—how petty of them all...
Wang Teng has taken the wrong path. He has obtained the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Era, but he wants to walk the Emperor's path of the Wu Shi. How can he last long like this? It is only natural that he will die and his Dao will perish!
Even without Ye Fan in this Lifetime, it would be difficult for him to achieve enlightenment. This Lifetime is special, as it gathers not only people from this life but also geniuses from the Chaotic Ancient Era times, disciples of Emperor Zun, and descendants of Ancient Emperor.
Among the younger generation are Yi Tiande, Taichu, Yaoguang, Di Huang, Zhang Bairen, Ji Zi, Holy Emperor's Son, Huo Linzi, Huo Lin'er, Huang Xudao, Golden Heavenly Maiden, Dragon Maiden, Divine Silkworm Daoist, Divine Venerable, Southern Demon, Central Emperor, Dao Yi, Yan Ruyu, Jin Chanzi...
Besides these young people, many ancient people also embarked on the path to becoming emperors. The Old Golden Crow, the Undying Heavenly Empress, the Palace Master of the Dao Palace, the White-Robed Sword God of the God Organization, and the Emperor Lord —they were all Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm Almost-Enlightened One.
Even without Ye Fan, Su Yu didn't believe Wang Teng could defeat all the heroes and prove his Dao right under the nose of the Forbidden Zone Supreme.
The so-called protagonist of Shrouding the Heavens? He's nothing more than a hapless loser, just like the Heavenly Emperor's Son!
Thinking of this, Su Yu smiled and said gently, "I did not come for Ye Fan, but for you. I have heard that Fellow Daoist Wang is the number one genius in the Five Regions, so I have come specifically to learn from you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Teng narrowed his eyes slightly, appearing extremely calm, with countless stars shattering and reforging within them. His black hair flew wildly, and a faint silver light flickered between his brows, a sign that he had cultivated the Heavenly Eye.
Wang Chengfeng flew over from afar, holding the purple copper divine pagoda. When he saw Su Yu blocking his way, his expression darkened.
This person is unlike anyone else; he is the future Sixth Generation Source Heavenly Master, holding a high position equivalent to the Lord of the Holy Land. Moreover, he recently defeated Jue Youqing, the successor of Mount Sumeru, and he is unwilling to offend him.
This time is different. In order to seize the Source Root of Mother Qi of All Things, the Wang Clan used two incomplete Saint Weapon and the Nine Revolutions Divine Talisman. Now they are about to succeed, and no matter who comes, they will not stop.
Seeing Wang Teng and Su Yu facing off, Wang Chengfeng said in a deep voice, " Heavenly Master Cao, my Wang Clan has no enmity with you. Does the Master really want to get involved in this mess?"
As he spoke, he blocked Ye Fan and the Black Emperor's path. The Wang Clan and the forces of the Yaoguang Holy Land also arrived, completely surrounding the area.
Surrounded by a group of cultivators, Su Yu remained unfazed. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a beam of Chaos Divine Light at Ye Fan and the Black Emperor. The two did not resist, allowing the Chaos energy to draw them into Su Yu's wide sleeve.
With his worries gone, Su Yu chuckled and said, "I've heard that the young master of the Northern Plains Wang Family is said to be the reincarnation of an ancient emperor, having received the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor. I myself once obtained the scriptures of the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable. This encounter is truly fate!"
Suddenly, the Void shattered, the Yue Hua blurred, and two figures flashed past with lightning speed. Su Yu and Wang Teng made their move, exchanging a single strike in the blink of an eye, which no one could see clearly.
Amidst the soaring light, an ancient sacrificial chant resounded, echoing throughout the myriad realms, causing the heavens and earth to change color, and the stars and moon to seem about to fall, as if shaken down by this wave of energy.
"Boom!"
The endless Void collapsed, utterly crumbling, and countless black abysses appeared, leading to the Eternal unknown. From the darkness came sounds like mountains collapsing and tsunamis crashing, and stars twinkled—it was the boundless universe!
This was an attack launched by Wang Teng. He was like an ancient emperor, his eyes filled with endless illusions, his back against the Eternal Star, a dazzling expanse.
The True Dragon, Divine Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise reappeared, each filling the starry sky, a truly terrifying spectacle, their endless divine light engulfing the area.
The four Great Power from the Yaoguang Holy Land were all shocked. Such a blow was probably difficult even for them to withstand. The Northern Emperor was so powerful that it made everyone shudder.
As starlight fell, Su Yu stepped on the "Travel" technique, traversing the Eternal Void and appearing in another world, unharmed by the Chaotic Ancient Divine Technique.
" Sealing Immortals with a Thought!"
Su Yu's divine sense flew out, his forehead bone glowed slightly, and the bell mark between his eyebrows emitted Eternal immortal light, dazzling beyond compare.
Golden blood energy soared into the sky, and ancient phenomena appeared within the light: Splendid Mountains and Rivers, Immortal King Descends Upon Nine Heavens, Chaos Grows a Green Lotus... The nine phenomena fused together in the Chaos light, transforming into an ancient and simple Dao diagram.
At this moment, Wang Chengfeng also made his move. He moved his hands, inscribing the laws of heaven and earth to activate the Purple Lightning Hammer. Yin and Yang energies swirled around him as he unleashed the Sun and Moon Life and Death Seal.
At that moment, sand and stones flew, winds rose and clouds surged, the world lost its color, and a black and red light descended from the sky, rushing towards Su Yu.
The power emanating from the interwoven laws engulfed this place, its holy might overwhelming, causing heaven and earth to tremble. This was a furious strike from a Great Power wielding Saint Weapon Dharma Ending, enough to annihilate a being at the level of Holy Lord.
Seeing that the opponent had used Saint Weapon, Su Yu's lips curled up slightly. Thousands of strands of jade light fell from the Blood Jade Saint Realm in the Immortal Platform. He seemed to be wearing a battle armor forged from Phoenix Blood Red Gold, with chains of order swirling around him, giving him a sacred glow.
The image of Immortal Phoenix appeared in his right eye. He unleashed one magical seal after another, imprinting them onto the Void. Countless patterns appeared, mysterious and enigmatic. Finally, all the patterns emitted a beautiful radiance, transforming into a magnificent Immortal Phoenix, with each feather clearly visible, outlined by sacred chains.
The Divine Phoenix was only about ten feet tall, but its body was engraved with millions of runes, emanating an aura of world destruction. Its cry echoed through the Nine Heavens, and with a single flap of its wings, the True Phoenix shattered the Sun and Moon Life and Death Seal...
