Chapter 1063: The Emperor's Son Dies

Beating the Emperor's Son Severely!

In the past, no one would have believed it, but today it was truly happening. Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Saint Emperor's Son cornered him, raining down heavy blows.

Bang!

The black iron staff in the Saint Emperor's Son's hand shot up like an ink dragon, sending the Emperor's Son flying. His spine nearly broke, and he let out a pained groan as he was sent hurtling away.

Thud!

Ye Fan swung his golden fist, bringing it down with a heavy blow on the Emperor's Son's body, sending him airborne once more, spewing five-colored divine blood from his mouth.

Ji Zi was equally direct. With a raise of his hand, a Void Divine Tablet appeared, suppressing the Emperor's Son and nearly pulverizing him into a bloody mess, his body splattering blood.

With three Emperor-level figures attacking, even the son of a god couldn't withstand it. He was brutally ganged up on, suffering multiple fractures across his body, covered in blood, and utterly disfigured.

"Serves him right! This dog Emperor's Son even kills commoners; he massacred an entire city of mortals in Yan Land. How cold-blooded is he? Dying a hundred times wouldn't atone for his sins," Li Heishui exclaimed.

Dongfang Ye, Li Tian, and others gathered around, all incredibly excited, their eyes gleaming. They hadn't expected to capture the Emperor's Son alive and were all eager to beat him up personally.

The Emperor's Son's gaze was icy, and his body twitched. He was almost crippled by Ye Fan and the Saint Emperor's Son, with multiple broken bones and no ability to retaliate or resist.

"It was one thing that you chased us back then, but now you're even more unrestrained, destroying many human sects and even killing commoners. You truly have no humanity!"

Dongfang Ye, a barbarian battle body, had palms like millstones. When he swung them, the air compressed and exploded, creating a roar that made the Emperor's Son cough up large amounts of blood.

Beside him, Li Tian also threw a punch, striking the Emperor's Son's chin. A spray of divine blood splattered, flying several meters away.

"Dog Emperor's Son, do you think you're a god who can rule the world, look down on all beings, and kill whomever you please? You're not worthy!"

Li Heishui, Dongfang Ye, Li Tian, and others surrounded him, punching and kicking him in a brutal beating, incessantly yelling curses.

The Black Emperor was displeased. "What 'dog Emperor's Son'? He's just an egg yolk! Don't call him by that title. Anyone who keeps saying it will face my wrath."

With the group attacking, it was pitiful to see the Emperor's Son, who had been rampant across the land for so many years, reduced to a mere punching bag, being savagely beaten by a crowd.

"Dog Emperor's Son, that's what you get for being arrogant and daring to massacre cities!" The Dragon Horse came over and lashed out with a kick, nearly crushing the Emperor's Son's skull.

"I told you already, don't give him that title..." The Black Emperor slapped out a paw, not at the others, but fiercely at the Emperor's Son, sending him tumbling more than a dozen times.

"Despicable humans..." Coldness filled the Emperor's Son's eyes.

"Still defiant? We'll flay you alive!" The Dragon Horse lifted its bowl-sized hoof and pressed it directly onto his face. The Emperor's Son, previously unblemished and considered the most handsome man in the world, instantly became bruised and swollen like a pig's head.

"If I die, none of you will survive," the Emperor's Son said calmly, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"You think we don't dare to kill you?" Ye Fan laughed loudly, kicking him away as if he were a football.

On the other side, the Saint Emperor's Son had been waiting for a long time. He raised his black iron staff high and swung it powerfully, striking the Emperor's Son's body.

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering was incessant. In that instant, over a hundred bones in his body broke. Bloodied and unable to move, he lay on the ground, smashed by the large staff.

"What kind of skill is it to gang up on me? If you truly consider yourselves Emperor's Sons, then fight me one-on-one! I can kill all of you!" the Emperor's Son said with chilling words and a cold, unyielding expression.

"You don't deserve to say such things," the Saint Emperor's Son stated.

"First, you were almost beaten to death by the Saint Emperor's Son, then nearly slain by Ji Zi, and finally, almost blown apart by Ye Fan. What right do you have to say such things?" Li Tian retorted.

"You brought the Eight Divisions of Divine Generals and invited Huang Xudao, Huo Qilin, and others to besiege my master and the Saint Emperor's Son. How dare you talk about a solo fight? You never dared to, from beginning to end!" Ye Tong said.

"Even when you had the Eight Divisions of Divine Generals and several ancient Emperor's Sons behind you, you couldn't do it. Now you speak of a solo fight? Ridiculous." Even Yan Yixi, who usually had a good temperament, couldn't help but sneer.

"To avoid complications, let's kill him quickly. An Archaic Ancestor King might come after us," the Black Emperor said.

"Indeed." Ye Fan nodded, directly unleashing his golden fist. The blow sent the Emperor's Son flying hundreds of zhang away, leaving him drenched in blood.

However, he did not turn into a pulp. Although his bones were shattered, his body didn't fall apart, and his joints crackled as they rapidly reconnected.

Everyone exchanged glances, secretly amazed. As expected of the son of a deity revered by all races, his claim to the world's foremost bloodline physique was not an empty boast.

In this era, very few could withstand Ye Fan's punch with their bare bodies. The Emperor's Son endured it and could recover almost instantly, which was terrifying.

"This dog Emperor's Son's bloodline power is truly too strong! Look, he's glowing all over, and the sounds of the Great Dao are resonating. Even such severe injuries are healing quickly," Dongfang Ye sighed.

Boom!

The Saint Emperor's Son struck, his black iron staff slamming down. Once again, all of the Emperor's Son's bones shattered, and his internal organs ruptured. Yet, his form remained intact, radiating divine light, and he rapidly healed again.

Everyone was astonished. Although the Emperor's Son was cold-blooded and cruel, not a benevolent individual, they had to admit that his bloodline potential was boundless and exceedingly rare in the world.

"It's a pity he became a bean sprout in a greenhouse. Otherwise, his achievements would be far beyond what they are now," Ye Fan remarked.

Clang!

He summoned the Immortal Heavenly Blade, swinging the gleaming long blade downwards. With a pfft and a flash of blood, half of the Emperor's Son's body was split open. He let out a horrific scream, his expression incredibly twisted, as five-colored divine blood flowed onto the ground.

Bang!

Something astonishing happened: almost instantly, his two halves rapidly healed and merged back into one. Five-colored immortal light permeated the air, and the resonating sounds of the Great Dao continued ceaselessly.

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped, drawing in a cold breath. No matter how much they hated him, they had to admit that this individual's physique was rarely seen through the ages, simply incomparable to that of ordinary people.

"There's truly nothing more to say about this physique," even the Black Emperor sighed.

"Let's take some of your blood and compare it to his, see if you can completely suppress him," the Dragon Horse said to Ye Fan, its inner gossip fire burning fiercely.

"You're really boring," Ye Fan ignored it, holding the Immortal Heavenly Blade, ready to cleave the Emperor's Son in two.

"Saint Emperor's Son, you share some blood and compare it to his!" the Dragon Horse egged on the monkey again.

"There's no need. He doesn't possess an invincible heart; even with an immortal body, he would still fail," the Saint Emperor's Son stated.

Ji Zi said, "Physique isn't everything. Before Empress Ruthless achieved enlightenment, she was merely a mortal, yet she ultimately swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, shocking ancient and modern times alike."

Everyone nodded at his words.

Pfft!

Ye Fan cleaved open the Emperor's Son's skull with a single strike, causing him to let out an unwilling roar. His primordial spirit tried to escape, but it was struck back down by the Saint Emperor's Son's staff.

"This bastard has ancient divine scriptures on him! The Immortal Emperor left him too many good things; let's dig them all out today," the Black Emperor declared.

Whoosh! The Emperor's Son's head returned to his skull, and the forehead bone, split in two, healed once more. His entire body glowed as he repaired his physical form. He struggled desperately, attempting to strike down everyone.

Ye Fan and Ji Zi attacked together, dispersing his cultivation, rendering him unable to retaliate. He slumped back down.

"Be careful! He has a lot of good stuff inside him. Don't damage them; dig them out one by one!" the Dragon Horse urged.

It was a pity that Duan De wasn't there; otherwise, that master tomb raider would surely have been greatly interested in this human treasure trove.

Wham!

The Black Emperor slapped out a paw, retrieving a shield from the Emperor's Son's Sea of Rundown. It radiated holy might, gleaming silver-white, ancient, and mysterious.

"This holy artifact is extraordinary! During the great battle, not even Ye Fan's black arrows could pierce it."

The Black Emperor was quite the expert. With a few swift movements, he produced another jade bottle. He pulled out the stopper, and a refreshing fragrance diffused across the surroundings, making one feel as if they could ascend to immortality.

"This is Immortal Divine Liquid; it can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bone," the Saint Emperor's Son said. He took a large gulp, then handed it to Ji Zi. Both had suffered significant depletion of their vital essence. With the divine liquid entering their bodies, they glowed all over, rapidly recovering.

"Immortal treasure!" the Black Emperor exclaimed again, holding up a jade pendant. Immortal radiance shot out in all directions, its brilliance piercing the sky.

This was an amulet forged by an Ancient Emperor. Possessing it was like having an extra life; it was a rare divine treasure.

The Emperor's Son's eyes were practically spitting fire. These individuals were treating him like a treasure trove, extracting divine artifacts one after another from his body. He wanted to resist but couldn't break free.

Ye Fan, the Saint Emperor's Son, and Ji Zi acted together, pressuring his primordial spirit. Compared to these external items, the ancient divine scriptures left by the Immortal Emperor held greater value, being an eternal divine book.

"I would rather die than let you obtain these scriptures!" the Emperor's Son declared fiercely, willing to burn his sea of consciousness rather than let them probe it.

The three, Ye Fan included, applied layer upon layer of pressure, nearly turning the Emperor's Son's Celestial Platform into a ball of light. His expression was incredibly sinister, unwilling to yield.

"Be careful, don't let him self-destruct!" the Dragon Horse said with malicious intent.

"The mighty Immortal Emperor, revered as a god by all races, must have left a true ancient imperial weapon in the world. But it seems he hasn't mastered it at all. Where could it be?" the Black Emperor mused while still rummaging.

They didn't need him to say it; everyone knew the Emperor's Son hadn't mastered an Emperor's weapon, otherwise he would have unleashed it long ago instead of being in this predicament.

"The Immortal Emperor's weapon is undoubtedly terrifyingly powerful. Has it been buried in the dust of history, or does someone else possess it?" Ye Fan pressed him, but the Emperor's Son clenched his teeth, determined to burn away his sea of consciousness.

Boom!

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying fluctuation appeared at the edge of the sky. An ancient saint's might swept across the entire mountain range, causing all beings to tremble!

"This is bad!" Everyone present's expression changed.

"If I die, none of you will survive! If you want to coexist, you must release me!" The Emperor's Son's eyes were icy, and his face was filled with a ruthless expression. Most of his fear had vanished.

Pfft!

However, just as he relaxed, Ye Fan swung his Heavenly Blade down. Divine blood splattered as he not only cleaved his physical body into two halves but also sliced his primordial spirit.

"Ah..." He screamed tragically, filled with immense terror. The Archaic Ancestor King had arrived and could rescue him in mere moments.

"You cannot kill me!" he said with a trembling voice, full of unwillingness and despair.

Buzz!

The Saint Emperor's Son swung his large black iron staff, causing the mountains to tremble and the void to hum. With a bang, he struck the Emperor's Son's primordial spirit, silencing his cries abruptly and rendering his divine consciousness into nothingness.

Ye Fan let out a roar, exhaling a wisp of Dao light and divine flames that instantly turned the Emperor's Son's corpse and bloodstains into ashes, burning everything completely, leaving nothing behind.

"We've really stirred up a hornet's nest!" the Black Emperor exclaimed.
