Chapter 1093: Forcing the Heavenly Maiden to Submit

The Human Saint Body relentlessly pursued the Golden Race's Heavenly Maiden, unleashing a barrage of powerful techniques. The ancient goddess was left in a state of utter disarray, her crystalline hair disheveled, and her divine, jade-like body nearly exposed.

Ye Fan continued his relentless pursuit, determined to secure his victory. He intended to capture the Golden Princess, as he absolutely had to obtain the Golden Divine Treasure Art.

The Golden Race's Heavenly Maiden had never endured such an experience. She was being pursued relentlessly, sweating profusely, and had been beaten almost naked, gritting her teeth in frustration.

"Whoosh!" The three thousand six hundredth killing strike landed. This divine technique was cunning and elusive; a golden ripple transformed into a wave, seemingly gentle yet in reality, it was all-pervasive and indestructible. "Poof!" The last remaining piece of her golden divine robe shattered, leaving most of her pure white, jade-like body exposed. At this moment, she truly went mad, convinced that the scoundrel behind her was deliberately tormenting her.

In ancient times, she was like a pure, bright moon, illuminating the primordial era. Who could even dare to gaze upon her? With unparalleled grace, she stood alone among the clouds, yet now she had fallen to such a plight.

The Golden Divine Maiden turned fiercely to fight again, but ultimately, she was no match. Her pure white, jade-like body was covered in wounds, her magical power nearly depleted, and she was forced to retreat once more.

"Human Saint Body, I will flay you alive, mark my words!" The Golden Race's Heavenly Maiden bit her bright lips, activating her mysterious ancient array platform for the eighth time, hoping to escape by traversing the void.

However, Ye Fan gave her no chance. His Secret of Movement, unmatched in the world, followed her like a shadow. With a single golden punch, wind roared and thunder crashed, lightning intertwined, reducing both array platforms and weapons to dust.

The Golden Princess was pursued relentlessly, with no escape route. She was almost driven mad, as she was now nearly completely unclothed, leaving only a pure white silhouette as she fled.

Each time, Ye Fan cut off her path, forcing her back into this vast wilderness. He was determined to suppress her and compel her to surrender the invincible Golden Divine Treasure Art.

From a distance, people were dumbfounded, especially the ancient races. Some constantly scratched their heads, wondering if they were dreaming, unable to believe this was real. A Royal Heavenly Maiden being utterly defeated and nearly fleeing naked was simply too surreal, and many couldn't help but swallow in disbelief.

Unfortunately, people could not see clearly. The Golden Race's Heavenly Maiden had powerful techniques protecting her, obscuring their vision, and her speed was too great for most to follow.

Even so, many who witnessed a pure white figure fighting fiercely, then fleeing in defeat, couldn't help but feel parched.

"Where do you think you're going?" Ye Fan roared. "Hand over the divine technique, and I'll spare your life, or I'll send you to meet the Ancient Emperor!"

The Golden Princess's lungs ached with rage. To fight naked was like a myth; she had never imagined such a day would come.

"You bastard, you'll fall into my hands one day!" The Golden Race's Heavenly Maiden's delicate body trembled with rage. She had already used a sacred artifact, but her opponent possessed one as well, and she had nearly suffered an even greater loss. Her body, seemingly forged from moonlight, was pure white and radiant, with divine laws of order forming a skirt to cover vital areas, as her golden divine robe had turned to ash. However, she knew it was utterly useless; to someone with a Source Heavenly Eye, she was essentially naked, with no secrets. This was truly a maddening battle. She yearned to hold the Golden Palm, to turn this bastard into dust with a single strike. She had never encountered such a hateful person, one who forced her to fight naked.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form," Ye Fan declared with a solemn expression. "Don't tempt me; I'm not falling for that. If you want to live, it's simple: transmit the Golden Divine Treasure to me, or you will be buried here."

The Golden Princess desperately wanted to stomp on his face with her jade-like feet, curse him a thousand times, stomp on him ten thousand times, and turn him into a pig's head! Because the slight curl of Ye Fan's lips revealed his thoughts, and in her eyes, this scoundrel was absolutely doing this on purpose.

"Ah... sooner or later I'll chop your vile bones into pieces!" The Golden Princess's ivory-like, crystalline jade body twitched in spasms of rage.

"Boom!" Ye Fan's attacks were incredibly fierce, his killing strikes relentless, startling even ghosts and gods. A strong gust of wind swept past, causing goosebumps on her jade-like body and making her pores prickle with cold.

Although his attacks were merciless, his face wore a bright, unchanging smile. In the Golden Princess's eyes, that 'vile' smile was the most hateful thing.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Some from the ancient races attempted a rescue, but they were all killed by Ye Fan, proving utterly ineffective. Most others chose to observe coldly.

"This..." Many were speechless. The Human Saint Body was truly unchivalrous; pursuing an ancient imperial princess until she fled naked—this was truly outrageous and immoral.

How could the Golden Race's Heavenly Maiden possibly swallow this insult? This was a lifelong grudge. At this point, she no longer wanted to kill Ye Fan, but rather to capture this scoundrel and torment him for the rest of her life. "Killing you won't be enough to quell the rage in my heart!"

The Golden Race's Heavenly Maiden was so enraged that her golden hair stood on end, her beautiful eyes wide, and her killing intent surged to the heavens, pervading the vast wilderness and making many shiver uncontrollably.

"Then I'll kill you!" Ye Fan's Saint Battle Array Art reached its pinnacle, unleashing a series of earth-shattering killing strikes. From his fingertips, the Hengyu Furnace burst forth, its immense flames sending the Golden Princess flying. Then, with a flick of his hands, he conjured the Void Mirror, which shone an immortal divine light, causing the Imperial Heavenly Maiden to vomit blood. Next, his hands moved, transforming once more, and a supremely sharp Grand Emperor Sword, a dragon-shaped immortal sword that suppressed past, present, and future, burst forth, nearly cleaving the Golden Princess in half.

The Imperial Heavenly Maiden was in a life-or-death predicament, passively fighting back. Her body was completely exposed, emitting a dazzling white light, and she was so enraged she nearly fainted. This was a battle that made her vomit blood, and for the first time in her life, she regretted helping Li Wentian. Had she known this, she would never have provoked this scoundrel.

Ye Fan fought with ease, ancient great emperor weapons successively materialized, their unparalleled power suppressing everything.

The Golden Princess was in a flurry. She had a premonition that things were going wrong; if this continued, she would surely be captured alive, and at that point, she would likely rather die than live.

Ye Fan naturally held nothing back. This exceptional battle today also served as a deterrent, demonstrating his resolve to all parties. Having forced an ancient imperial princess to flee naked, what else wouldn't he dare to do?

The Golden Princess had led her people to find him and assist Li Wentian. Now, this battle was Ye Fan's counterattack and punishment, lasting until she lost all her battle attire and was nearly naked.

"Boom!" Finally, the Golden Divine Treasure reappeared. Various golden weapons emerged, radiating auspicious glows and brilliant lights, creating a magnificent world. The Imperial Heavenly Maiden stood before this divine treasure, confronting Ye Fan. She transmitted her compromise via divine sense, realizing that defeat was minor, but to be truly naked before numerous cultivators at the end of the battle would be worse than death.

She was the daughter of an ancient emperor, hailed as a peerless prodigy and divine maiden, famous throughout the primordial era. She could not afford to lose face like that. At this moment, her slender jade body shimmered with light as she bit her silver teeth in negotiation, her peerless grace accompanied by a face full of frost.

Ye Fan estimated the time, guessing that reinforcements would arrive soon. Since the Imperial Heavenly Maiden was no match and no one could rescue her, it was likely someone had gone to summon an Ancestor King.

In a short time, it was impossible for him to eliminate an ancient imperial princess. If the scion of an ancient emperor fought desperately, they could always hold out for a while. Forcing this ancient imperial princess to be completely unclothed was perhaps the fastest way to make her submit. And now, it had indeed achieved its effect, as the Golden Race's Heavenly Maiden was grinding her pearly teeth to breaking point.

Ye Fan dared not delay. He demanded the secret art of the Golden Divine Treasure. He carved Dao marks, manifesting a similar divine treasure, opening up a vibrant world of Dao weapons: the Golden Ancient Bell, the Dao Sword, the Sacred Pagoda, the Sky Saber, and more—their divine radiance dazzling, bobbing up and down in a brilliant display.

In truth, Ye Fan also wanted to negotiate for a sacred weapon, but the Golden Princess was enraged, threatening to perish together, and only threw him a quasi-saint-grade ancient artifact.

"Princess, to tell you the truth," Ye Fan said, "my admiration for you is like the surging waters of a great river. How about we form an alliance?"

"Oh, I'd be delighted!" The Golden Princess ground her pearly teeth, her beautiful golden eyes flashing with divine radiance, and her delicate fists slightly trembled, barely restraining herself from charging forward.

"You and I truly hit it off at first sight," Ye Fan said. "We'll definitely cooperate in the future. This time was too rushed. Next time, I invite the princess for an enlightenment tea ceremony." Ye Fan then prepared to retreat.

Meanwhile, the Black Emperor transmitted a message from afar, reminding him it was time to leave, as a Saint-level Ancient King was likely to arrive soon.

"Oh, right, Princess, you've been quite generous to me," Ye Fan added. "I have a divine silk jade robe here; please accept it as a small token of my esteem." With that, Ye Fan placed the treasure robe in the void and decisively retreated.

The Golden Princess watched his disappearing back, so enraged she almost shattered the heavens and earth. With a single palm, she struck the nearly worthless divine silk jade robe, reducing it to dust. "Human Saint Body," she raged, "I swear I won't kill you, but pray that you never fall into my hands, ah..."

Not long after Ye Fan and his companions disappeared, a void gate opened wide, and a Saint-level Ancient King emerged. His divine might swept across ten thousand mountains, his cold gaze, like lightning, sweeping the desolate land. "Princess, are you unharmed?" he asked. "I'm fine!" she retorted.

The Golden Princess immediately traversed the void and departed. She did not want to stay in that place for another moment, abandoning everything—the sacred land, the great tomb—all of it.

The Primordial Ancestor King's gaze flashed as he fixed upon the great tomb, seemingly about to strike. However, a sudden tremor went through his heart, and he immediately tore open the void and left the place.

"What did you say? The Human Saint Body is truly back, and he defeated the Imperial Heavenly Maiden so thoroughly that she was almost naked and fled in utter defeat?" "It really is him, reappearing in the world!" "The Golden Race's Heavenly Maiden probably wants to eat him alive, huh..." After this battle became known, people were dumbfounded, creating a massive stir that spread throughout the world. Ye Fan became the focus of heated discussion.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the former site of Yaoguang collapsed a few days later, revealing a massive abyss from which wisps of immortal energy overflowed, filling the sky with radiant light. However, everyone who came here was terrified; no one dared to approach. It was like facing an ancient Great Emperor; even powerful Dao Slayers trembled, uncontrollably wanting to prostrate themselves. Ye Fan stood in the distance, not approaching, his heart stirring with a feeling that something was calling to him, something connected to him. "You know, several Saints have arrived," the Black Emperor stated with certainty. "This place seems like it's going to collapse the heavens. This is definitely the aura of an ancient Great Emperor!"
