Chapter 1058: Chaos

Chapter 1059: Chaos

Currently, only Emperor Weapons could threaten the Green Cauldron; even Saint-level artifacts were useless against it and couldn't activate its full power. At this moment, the Green Cauldron was floating within Ye Fan's body, its immortal light flowing and auspicious radiance shining brightly. A barrier of light formed around his body, blocking the terrifying killing intent.

Huo Linzi's blue hair flew wildly, like a true blue kirin resurrected and roaring majestically between heaven and earth. He let out a mighty roar, and the entire world trembled.

"Give way!" Huo Linzi roared and threw a punch forward, carrying traces of a Grand Dao, as if it could cleave through nine layers of heaven, enveloping Ye Fan below. The blue blood within him boiled. The ancient imperial weapon merged with him, becoming one. As he unleashed his punch, it aimed directly for Ye Fan's head, an attack of unimaginable power.

"Bang!" Ye Fan threw a punch, light blooming between his palm and fingers. Extremely tough and powerful fist energy roared forth, enveloped in a layer of radiance. The Green Cauldron protected itself, resisting the might of the Primordial Emperor! Lightning crackled between their fists and fingers. Streaks of blue lightning and immortal light tore through the void. This place became terrifyingly boundless, transforming into a massive black hole. The entire sky vanished, turning into a black abyss. It was utterly destroyed, exploding piece by piece, becoming a void where dimensional space devoured everything.

Ye Fan and Huo Linzi both retreated, looking at each other in disbelief. Both felt that the other's Emperor Weapon had an issue, perhaps not being genuine.

"Boom!" Huo Lin'er arrived, fearing an accident might befall her brother. She used the "hidden power" brought with them on this journey south, yet still couldn't eliminate this formidable enemy, which filled her with dread. Azure light annihilated heaven and earth, and swathes of chaotic energy permeated the air. Huo Lin'er's mere wave was incredibly powerful, enough to make one's bones tremble in fear!

"Bang!" Ye Fan clashed head-on with her slender, jade-like hand. Various Grand Dao patterns spread out, causing his body to shake violently. If not for the immortal light overflowing from the Green Cauldron and covering his body, the consequences would have been dire.

"Another ancient imperial weapon!" He showed an expression of disbelief. How was this possible? Could the Fire Kirin Cave truly possess two ancient imperial weapons? That seemed unrealistic!

Huo Lin'er also showed a strange expression. Her azure long hair cascaded down, her bright eyes and white teeth gleaming, her gaze shifting. She also realized that the other party did not possess a genuine Emperor Weapon within him; something was peculiar.

"Could it be the same as ours?" Huo Linzi's expression was indifferent as he turned and met his sister's gaze. A rough answer formed in his mind.

"Boom!" The two of them attacked again, pressing forward. The sky in this area completely exploded, becoming a chaotic realm, isolated from the outside world. Ye Fan's fists continuously clashed with their palms and fingers. Thousands of Grand Dao traces appeared, clashing head-on with this invincible brother and sister duo. The might of the ancient emperors was incredibly suppressive, almost suffocating.

"It's not a true ancient imperial weapon; it's an imitated forbidden artifact!"

Finally, Ye Fan understood. This was a heaven-defying method, requiring rare divine materials to forge, but it could only be used a few times before self-destructing.

"Whoosh!" They separated after their final clash. Both Huo Lin'er and Huo Linzi were uncertain and suspicious. They were certain that Ye Fan did not possess a genuine Emperor Weapon, but they didn't know what it truly was.

Suddenly, a soft sound came from afar. Ye Fan's Dao body's time was up; it transformed into a wisp of clear energy, dispersing into the sky and disappearing. Huang Xu Dao immediately lost his opponent. His expression froze for a moment, then his eyes deepened. His form was obscured by the Dao traces, making him difficult to discern.

Heaven and earth returned to tranquility. The chaotic energy dispersed, and the universe stabilized. The figures stood in confrontation, reappearing in the sky. No one spoke.

Earlier, a few individuals had unleashed the might of ultimate Dao. However, it was all channeled through their fists and fingers without truly reviving the immortal artifacts. The power unleashed was merely a ten-thousandth of a wisp and did not spread in all directions; otherwise, even their own arms would not have been able to withstand such powerful fluctuations. Moreover, they had fought within the chaos. Even observers with keen spiritual senses could barely detect it. Therefore, although some felt a momentary palpitation, they had no idea that ancient imperial weapons had been used.

"The Dao body has weakened... is the true body's demise far off?" some ancient clan elders whispered from afar, believing the situation was about to be reversed.

Ye Fan frowned; the situation was grim. After the Dao body disappeared, it couldn't reappear instantly; it would take a long time.

"Do you truly wish to compete and determine who is stronger or weaker?" Huo Lin'er asked, her gaze flowing. "From beginning to end, we didn't come here for a life-or-death battle." The three of them had all gained immense benefits, which was why they agreed to journey south. They couldn't genuinely fight to the death for the Heavenly Sovereign's son; they had always been somewhat perfunctory.

Ye Fan naturally knew that the other battlefield was where the true death match was happening. The Saint Sovereign's Son and the Heavenly Sovereign's Son were both already severely wounded; every clash was a confrontation of Grand Dao, and one of them was bound to fall. As for their battlefield, where no one was injured, he was very clear about the situation.

"It's come to this. If you don't step aside, don't force me to kill you!" Huo Linzi said chillingly.

"You can try," Ye Fan retorted sharply, his killing intent fully exposed. "If you can't get past me, it won't matter if I kill you!" The other battlefield had reached a critical moment. He absolutely would not allow anyone to obstruct or interrupt it. After paying such a high price, it would be too frustrating if they still couldn't kill the Heavenly Sovereign's son.

"Roar..." Huo Linzi let out a great roar, his blue hair standing on end; he was utterly enraged. Instantly, heaven and earth collapsed as he charged forward alone!

"They're fighting for their lives! The ancient princes on this side are also going all out!" The elders of the ancient clans and human great sects were all greatly alarmed.

"Boom!" Ye Fan was fearless. He powerfully shook his right hand, secretly aligning with the Six Paths Fist intent, and slammed it forward. The vast sky exploded, his dark hair scattered, and he confronted Huo Linzi directly, intending to smash him into a pulp with one punch.

"Not good!" Huo Lin'er's expression flickered. Fearing an accident might befall her brother, she also attacked horizontally, her snow-white jade fingers shattering the sky as they struck towards Ye Fan's temple.

On the other side, Huang Xu Dao turned and headed straight for the Saint Sovereign's Son. He couldn't just watch the Heavenly Sovereign's Son be killed; it was now an urgent matter.

"No one gets past me! If you can't get through me, everything will be for naught!" Ye Fan truly got fired up, using his ultimate speed. He continuously clashed with Huo Lin'er and Huo Linzi, his physical body tearing through the void to block Huang Xu Dao, and clashed head-on with him dozens, even hundreds of times.

Everyone gasped in cold air. This person was indeed powerful, incredibly fast. Even with the three ancient princes enraged, he still dared to act like this and truly stopped them. He was truly unfathomable.

"Since you seek death, I shall grant it to you!" Huo Linzi said coldly. With a raise of his hand, he unleashed the Nine Kirin Forms. This secret technique combined with his physical mastery, possessing infinite power; it was the first time it had been displayed since the battle began.

"As if I'm afraid of you!" Ye Fan was fearless. With a roar that could swallow mountains and rivers, he not only contended with Huo Linzi alone but also swept across Huo Lin'er and Huang Xu Dao simultaneously.

"For the three of us to fight against someone like you together would be disrespectful to us all," Huang Xu Dao said calmly. "I would actually like to spar with you alone to verify my Dao, but today is not the day; we cannot let the Heavenly Sovereign's Son die."

"Then let's fight," Ye Fan responded. "Perhaps by accident, I'll slay one or two of you."

"Arrogant!" Even Huo Lin'er's beautiful, jade-like face showed a murderous glint.

"Boom!" A life-or-death struggle, the great battle began!

However, at this very moment, a startling change occurred. The Black Sovereign and others had used a great formation to trap the Half-Saints and the Eight Divisions of Divine Generals. They were originally evenly matched, but now, an external force had intervened. Unexpectedly, a human expert charged forth, driving a golden ancient war chariot. Its battle aura surged to the sky, rumbling as it advanced, crushing the firmament, driving straight into and breaking through the great formation.

Standing on that war chariot was a majestic figure. His black hair cascaded down, his eyes like cold lightning. His entire body surged with vital energy, rising against the heavens, like a Heavenly Emperor standing tall. Around him, nine true dragons coiled, nine immortal phoenixes flapped their wings, soaring to the sky, and nine white tigers howled at the moon. Their radiance obscured the sun, making him appear as if a Heavenly Emperor had descended, surrounded in the center.

"Wang Teng! It's him!" someone exclaimed. "Over the years, he's suffered defeat after defeat. He hasn't appeared for ten years, yet he charges out today!" He was a former peerless prodigy, known as the Northern Emperor, revered as one of the strongest among the human race's younger generation. However, ever since his defeat by Ye Fan, he had been in decline. No one expected him to emerge powerfully today, immediately using his Heavenly Emperor War Chariot to break through the formation, tearing open a corner, and causing the battle situation to reverse.

"That bastard actually came to ruin everything!" The Black Sovereign was enraged. He had exhausted his formation platforms in True Immortal City, and his years of accumulated divine materials were all used up. In this place, he could only engrave formations with ordinary materials, barely able to hold off the Eight Divisions of Divine Generals. But it was bound to collapse over time. He thought it could last a little longer, but unexpectedly, the Northern Emperor arrived, and this final "ant hole" caused the great formation to collapse like a broken dam.

In everyone's eyes, the Northern Emperor was unstoppable. He immediately tore open a corner of the killing formation, bursting into the battlefield, and the Eight Divisions of Divine Generals rushed out like a flood.

"Kill..." Shouts of battle filled the sky. Although the Eight Divisions of Divine Generals suffered heavy casualties, many perishing in the Black Sovereign's great formation, none of the Half-Saints had died; they all charged out.

"Damn it, the Saint Sovereign's Son was just a hair's breadth away from slaying the Heavenly Sovereign's Son!" Ye Tong's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists.

At this moment, battle cries shook the heavens. All the Eight Divisions of Divine Generals had charged out. This was a disaster, as they charged towards the Heavenly Sovereign's Son, and many more went to intercept Ye Fan.

"Bring out the Divine Maiden Furnace to suppress them! Under no circumstances can anyone approach the Saint Sovereign's Son!" The Black Sovereign roared. Li Tian and Yan Yixi activated the Divine Maiden Furnace. It enveloped heaven and earth, radiating boundless holy might. However, some of the Half-Saints also possessed such artifacts, which they had used to resist the formation earlier.

"Boom!" Blood light surged to the heavens, and this place seethed. The battle reached its climax, a scene of utter chaos, with killing intent filling the air and flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Wang Teng sneered, showing he was not much weaker than the ancient princes. It was unknown how much suffering he had endured over the years, but today, he completely unleashed his power. After attacking the Black Sovereign and the others, he drove his golden ancient war chariot directly towards the Saint Sovereign's Son.

"How dare you!" Ye Fan was enraged. At this moment, he successively shot two black arrows, which tore through the sky, slaying Half-Saints and Divine Generals of the Eight Divisions, and also blocking the unstoppable Wang Teng.

"You're not the only one with a Saint-level artifact!" Huo Linzi sneered. At this point, they were no longer in a hurry; there was no need to rescue the Heavenly Sovereign's Son. The Eight Divisions of Divine Generals were undoubtedly an unstoppable torrent. He pulled out a halberd, which was also a Saint-level artifact, blocking Ye Fan's path, its terrifying aura shaking heaven and earth.

Ye Fan had no choice but to recall one black arrow to protect himself. Then he further summoned the stone embryo, his true body entering it to use as battle armor, and charged in all directions. This place completely exploded, like boiling water. Several Saint-level artifacts appeared simultaneously, all fully revived. This was a destructive disaster: mountains collapsed, seas dried, earth cracked, and the sky exploded; nothing could endure.

The Eight Divisions of Divine Generals suffered heavy losses, with thirty percent perishing in the chaotic battle. But those Half-Saints were too formidable; they had already reached the Heavenly Sovereign's Son, causing the Saint Sovereign's Son to suffer a heavy blow.

"Roar..." With a single roar from Ye Fan, mountains and rivers shook. Disregarding the obstruction and attacks of the three ancient princes, his hair stood on end in fury. He desperately charged forward, killing in all directions, blood splattering everywhere. Ancient clan members fell row after row, and his entire body was dyed red.

"No matter who comes, today I will surely kill the Heavenly Sovereign's Son! Those who block me shall die!" Ye Fan roared, conveying his indestructible will. His hatred for Wang Teng's assistance to the ancient clans reached its peak.
