Chapter 332 The Battle of Physique
Amidst the clouds and mist, an illusory temple appeared, with Divine Spring gushing forth and a melodious aroma of tea wafting in the distance. Su Yu savored the fragrance of the tea while observing what was happening inside the temple.
"What's there to say? You know what's going on between you and her. Do you dare to do it but not admit it?" Ji Haoyue's attitude was extremely cold. The long sword in her hand trembled slightly, drawing a shallow bloodstain on Ye Fan's neck.
"I want to talk to Ziyue about... between us..."
Ye Fan pleaded, wanting to clear up the misunderstanding between them, but Ji Haoyue wouldn't listen to his explanation at all. Divine light shone Void around him, and he struck out with his palm, with jet-black divine light flowing between his fingers and palm.
"You can't just call me 'Ziyue' like that. You'll have to get past me first."
Sensing the aura of the Void Great Hand Seal, Ye Fan was startled. Golden blood energy surged out, staining the ground. He moved his hands, his starting stance incredibly profound, unleashing the Battle Saint Method.
"Bang!"
In an instant Void twisted, blood energy soared into the sky, the palace doors closed, and intricate and mysterious array patterns appeared on the azure-gold ground, transforming a mustard seed into Sumeru, directly opening up a space within a small area.
The two fell into the Void abyss. Looking at the spatial turbulence around them, Ye Fan knew perfectly well that Su Yu had tampered with the space. He sighed helplessly and wanted Su Yu to open a passage.
"Senior..."
However, Ji Haoyue also understood the significance of this place. She repelled Ye Fan with a Void Great Hand Seal and coldly said, "Just what I wanted!"
"I wanted to duel with you back in the Northern Region, but unfortunately I missed the opportunity. Let me see where the Sacred Body's strength lies, and let's fight on equal footing!" A fighting spirit appeared in Ji Haoyue's eyes, and his true blood boiled within him.
He let out a long roar, spitting out three wisps of sword light. Behind him appeared a crystal-clear divine wheel, spotless and radiating Eternal light, containing a scene of Azure Sea and Bright Moon. The bright moonlight shone on the sword light, Void divine sword gleamed with a cold light, incomparably sharp.
In an instant, sword energy roared, and three divine lights plunged into the Void. Then, they moved hundreds of meters out of thin air and flew out behind Ye Fan, stabbing towards his internal organs. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
"Sizzle!"
Suddenly, the Void trembled slightly. Ye Fan used the Great Void Technique to traverse space and dodge the three sword energies.
"Use Void Divine Art in front of me?" Ji Haoyue sneered, and with a flash, he disappeared into the space.
Inside the Azure Gold Temple, Ji Ziyue and Jiang Ruoyu stood gracefully, with a Big Black Dog beside them.
The two girls stood frozen in place, staring at each other with unreadable expressions, creating a tense atmosphere in the hall.
The Black Emperor ignored everything and rushed to the array pattern. It took out a table laden with delicacies and a pot of fine wine, and watched the two fight with great interest.
Jiang Ruoyu looked somewhat dejected, her previous radiance gone. She didn't care that Ye Fan was pursuing Ji Ziyue; it was precisely because he was so devoted that she had fallen for him.
However, it was precisely because of this that she could only Divine Wound alone, recalling the past between the two of them in her mind. In the end, she still felt concerned for Ye Fan and walked to the array pattern.
Within the killing formation, dense clouds and mist shrouded the area, with two figures flashing incessantly. Beside them, countless skeleton puppets formed from Void Dao patterns engaged in indiscriminate slaughter against the two.
Seeing that Ye Fan and Ji Haoyue dealt with the puppets at the Dao Palace Third Heaven with ease, Su Yu drank a cup of fragrant tea, and with a thought, raised the Dao Pattern Puppet to the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven.
Within the array of clouds, two Shrouding the Heavens the sky and sun, collided. At the point where the dark light converged, countless symbols flickered, obscuring the space. From within, a single purple divine ray shot out, its sword light sharp and extremely fast, directly shattering the Void Great Hand Seal and flying towards Ye Fan.
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, the Void Great Hand Seal that Ye Fan had created using the "Fight" secret technique collapsed. He was sent flying backward, his body radiating a golden divine light, with golden blood energy filling the sky, before disappearing into the array clouds.
Ji Haoyue, his fighting spirit soaring, his robes fluttering, formed a divine seal, assuming the posture of a god-king subduing demons, looking down upon the world, and charged towards Ye Fan.
He did not use any soldiers in this battle, and even sealed his cultivation, all to avoid taking advantage of Ye Fan.
Ever since Su Yu and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family recounted the extraordinary nature of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body to him, he had been eagerly anticipating this battle.
" The God King Body stops at the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform Great Accomplishment King Platform. Relying solely on its physique, it only grants the status of a Great Completion King. Since you aspire to the Emperor's Path, you cannot set your sights solely on the Severing the Dao Realm. The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body is the pinnacle of the Human Clan. Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm Great Completion can fight against Great Emperor. In this Lifetime, the Sacred Body will be your whetstone. Only by defeating the Sacred Body can you be considered to have the potential to become an Emperor."
Ji Haoyue's soul trembled as she recalled Su Yu's words to her. Her thoughts raced, and her desire to defeat the Sacred Body grew even stronger.
"Buzz!"
The space was filled with countless folds as the two fought fiercely. The Dao Palace Fifth Heaven puppet beside them was no match for them.
Ultimately, Ye Fan had nowhere to escape and was forced out by Ji Haoyue.
A Void sword pierced Ye Fan's right arm. Seeing the pain on his face, Ji Haoyue's eyes turned cold and sharp, and he felt a sense of satisfaction. He said coldly, "It's all because of you. Ziyue has cried so many times. This time she ran out to see you, and this is how you treat her."
"From childhood to adulthood, I've never dared to upset her. I really don't know what's so great about you; how could my sister possibly like you?"
However, Ye Fan gave a wry smile and did not argue. He transformed into a Yellow Dragon aura and dissipated into the space. Ji Haoyue frowned, swung her sword to clear the array of clouds, and tried to find Ye Fan's true form.
Outside the temple, Su Yu also frowned.
" The Emperor Scripture, Forbidden Secret Techniques, Sacred Body, Divine Body —both are above the Six Prohibitions. The Big Moon is still at the Third Heaven of the Four Extremes, but the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven seems a bit insufficient; it should be replaced with the Peak of Four Extremes."
Within the killing formation, countless sounds of battle echoed. The Daoist puppets, which were originally only in the shape of skeletons, were now shrouded in a wisp of dragon energy, as if they were wearing a layer of golden armor, exuding the aura of the Peak of Four Extremes.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine Four Extremes Puppets roared in unison, their power shaking heaven and earth, dispersing the Tianyun. Driven by their killing intent, ripples spread across the Void, and a golden figure fell out.
Looking at the endless golden-armored war puppets before them, Ye Fan and Ji Haoyue were completely shocked. They were utterly powerless against them. Even if Ji Haoyue used the divine power of the Third Heaven of the Four Extremes, this army of puppets would exhaust her magical power, ultimately leading to her death from exhaustion...
Within a kilometer, Ye Fan formed a treasure seal with his hand and began to evolve the form of Emperor Weapon. In an instant, countless spatial Dao patterns flew out like a rain of light, and an ancient divine mirror appeared.
"Buzz!"
The Void Ancient Mirror trembled slightly, emitting Wuliang light that distorted the heavens and earth, as if many cracks appeared. Its divine power was limitless, shaking the world and causing Ji Haoyue to change color.
The opponent actually used the Battle Saint Method to conjure up the Ji Family's Void Emperor Mirror.
" The Nine Secrets of Daoism actually possess such divine power..." Ji Haoyue's heart sank.
"Boom!"
The celestial mirror shone, and a beam of light, like a bolt of lightning, flew towards Ji Haoyue. At the same time, the forbidden secret technique of the Void reappeared. Ji Haoyue roared to the sky and tried his best to unleash it. His right arm felt like it was melting as he forcefully cleaved in front of him, trying to unleash the Void Severing Two Realms.
"The Void Emperor Severing Space, is absolutely no less powerful than the Nine Secrets of the Heavenly Venerable!" Ji Haoyue shouted, his mind filled with invincibility, and he was extremely confident in the ancient ancestor's forbidden secret technique.
A massive, blazing fissure of light spread, splitting the entire world in two, colliding with the celestial light. In that instant, the two golden-armored puppets closest to the light were shattered.
A dazzling and profound divine light flowed between them as they fought with all their might, their divine power surging forth as they sought to determine the victor.
Chapter 333 The Beauty Accepts the Invitation
A dazzling celestial light, divine radiance, and surging blood energy filled the air. An ancient mirror, shimmering with a faint glow, was both ancient and weathered, crystal clear, illuminating the light of life and death, severing the ancient realm.
Behind Ji Haoyue, the image of Azure Sea and Bright Moon rose, with countless strands of dark light descending. His entire being exuded a fierce sword intent, as if he wanted to pierce through everything and shatter the Void, like a god-king beginning to reveal his murderous side.
"Boom!"
In the vastness of the sky and the earth, a huge crack spreads, and the flames of light are like a vast ocean, cutting off space, dividing the sky, cutting eternity, and breaking the confinement of time.
Both of them unleashed Void Divine Art; in an instant, celestial light cascaded like a waterfall, countless runes shone, illuminating the past, present, and future, radiating billions of divine rays, sprinkling every inch of Void, making this world bright and dazzling, and keeping countless Dao-patterned puppets outside.
Ye Fan remained calm, activating the Divine Mirror to unleash countless strands of immortal light, encompassing and obliterating everything. However, Ji Haoyue's speed was too fast, making it impossible to pinpoint her location.
"Clang!"
The beam of light was dazzling, sweeping across the Void Ancient Mirror. The terrifying crack directly shattered the mirror's surface, and its power remained undiminished as it cleaved towards Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's arm touched the dark light, and blood gushed out. However, he didn't even blink. He put his hands together, and a dazzling light emanated from them. With a "clang," he became one with the ancient mirror.
Amidst the churning waves of the Bitter Sea, a Green Lotus swayed, rooted in the Life Spring, accompanying Ye Fan. He also sat down Chaos -legged, surrounded by chaotic energy. The Green Lotus with only three leaves seemed to be the embodiment of the Dao, drawing power from the Void and sensing the ripples in the space.
Ye Fan's eyes flashed with purple light. Following the direction Green Lotus Finger, he found Ji Haoyue's trail, transformed into a divine ray of light, and charged towards a certain location.
Seeing that the other party had come looking for him, Ji Haoyue's eyes turned cold, his hair was disheveled, and he was wrapped in countless Void divine chains. With the " Bright Moon Rising over the Sea " phenomenon behind him, he was immune to all magic. He cast a divine spell and did not retreat, but went straight to meet Ye Fan.
His current cultivation level is still low; he has not yet truly mastered the Void Severing Two Realms. The power of this forbidden divine art in his hands can only cut through space.
However, Ye Fan only had the cultivation of the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven, and had only seen the Void Emperor Mirror once. Both of their divine techniques had many flaws, and in the blink of an eye, they both seized each other's weaknesses.
Ye Fan continuously circulated the Battle Secret, unexpectedly triggering the "All" Secret Realm Heart Method, which gave him confidence and assurance of victory.
"This is the moment!" Ye Fan was excited. He had been activating the "All" secret technique since entering the battle, and after hundreds of times, he finally triggered it successfully.
In that instant, he felt incredibly powerful, his combat strength reached its peak, and he felt that he had reached the Four Extremes Realm, feeling that he was omnipotent.
"Ten times the combat power!"
This is an unimaginable change, instantly making oneself ten times stronger. It cannot be explained by reason; it is a power that turns the rotten into the miraculous. Whether it is strength or speed, there has been a qualitative leap.
He unleashed a punch, his fingers and palm wreathed in barely perceptible black light—a manifestation of the Devouring Law, powerful enough to annihilate everything...
"He didn't even hold back against his brother-in-law, that's ruthless. Even without using the Demon Jar Divine Form, he would have lost. No wonder he's known as Ye Hei."
Su Yu clicked his tongue in admiration. He had done things like brutally attacking the Big Moon before, and he had to admit that tormenting the young master of the Desolate Ancient Family was addictive and exhilarating.
When he defeated Big Moon in two moves in the Southern Region, he was secretly delighted, especially when he saw Ji Haoyue's expression of existential doubt; that feeling was indescribable.
As Su Yu predicted, the outcome of the killing formation was as follows: amplified by the "All" secret technique, the Battle Saint Method overpowered the Void Divine Art, and Ji Haoyue was defeated. Like a bird with broken wings, she bled on the spot and fell to the ground in a very miserable state.
Seeing Ji Haoyue's defeat, Jiang Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and the Black Emperor almost jumped up, laughing heartily. However, it felt a little regretful, as it wanted to see Ye Fan scream in agony.
Due to the limitations of the array patterns, they could only see the outcome of the battle, but could not hear any sound.
"You couldn't even withstand it for a moment? The Ji Family's Divine Body is nothing special." The Black Emperor was in high spirits, with a smug look on his face.
It withstood eight attacks from Ye Fan's Demon Jar without being defeated. The Black Emperor did not know that Ye Fan possessed the "All" secret technique, and thought that his physical body was much stronger than the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body.
Ji Ziyue did not watch the battle, but seeing the Big Black Dog and Jiang Ruoyu so relaxed, an absurd conclusion vaguely appeared in her mind.
"How could that be? Ye Fan is only at the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven..." Thinking this, she walked over as well.
However, what came into view was a friendly scene: Ye Fan was helping Ji Haoyue up; both of them had rosy complexions and did not appear to be injured.
"I lost."
Ji Haoyue flung Ye Fan away, a bitter feeling welling up inside him. Among the Five Regions, apart from Su Yu and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, he was the one who understood the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body the most, but he still couldn't let go of his defeat.
Seeing his brother-in-law looking somewhat dejected, Ye Fan took two steps back. Just to be on the safe side, he had just given Ji Haoyue a mouthful of Divine Spring, thankfully without any mishaps.
He pondered to himself, "When I activated the All Character Secret just now, the Battle Saint Method flowed much more smoothly and its power increased considerably. Could there be some connection between the Nine Secrets? Or is it just a coincidence...?"
With a flash of light, the two broke free from the array and returned to the Azure Gold Temple, where the doors opened on their own.
Seeing the concerned look in his younger sister's eyes, Ji Haoyue blushed and felt a little ashamed. He didn't know that Ji Ziyue hadn't watched the match and felt that his shining image in Little Moon's heart had been damaged.
However, something even more disheartening happened. Ji Ziyue only glanced at him twice, and seeing that he was alright, she turned her gaze to Ye Fan. This chilled Ji Haoyue's heart, making him feel even worse than if he had been defeated.
He took a deep breath, his eyes as dark as night, and said aloofly, "Ahem, we'll settle this once you break through tomorrow."
After saying that, Big Moon left without looking back, not wanting to stay in this sad place any longer.
Seeing her brother leave without looking back, Ji Ziyue also wanted to leave, but a not-so-tall figure blocked her way.
Looking at the graceful young woman in purple, Ye Fan's eyes held a pleading look.
Because he consumed many Sacred Fruit, he still looks very young, only eighteen or nineteen years old. Moreover, to ensure everything went smoothly, he used his magic to disrupt his blood energy, making him pale and appearing unsteady.
