Chapter 1156: God Has Come

Chapter 1157: A God Arrives

In the depths of the mountain range, a profound stillness reigned. All manner of powerful fierce beasts and savage dragons had gone into hiding, sensing an oppressive crisis. Occasionally, strange birds wailed, fleeing into the distance.

Leaves on the trees rustled and fluttered down chaotically. A chilling, solemn aura swept through the area, as if late autumn and cold winter had arrived.

The atmosphere was tense and suffocating. Hundreds of miles away, a fleet of battleships appeared, spanning the horizon like millions of demonic mountains from hell, almost stopping people's hearts.

The cold hulls glinted with chilling light. The ships, dense and numerous like leaden clouds, surged forward, led by three main battleships, effectively sealing off the mountain range.

Ye Fan had naturally detected their presence long ago. Opening his Celestial Eye, he saw a vast, dark mass in the distant sky, a sight that made one's heart pound.

Whoosh!

A crimson beam shot out hundreds of miles, sweeping towards Ye Fan. Cao Lin, with an icy expression, gave the command, and thus the great battle began. Wherever the crimson light passed, mountains collapsed and lakes dried up, a terrifyingly brilliant display.

Ye Fan had no choice. He entered the light blue mecha, transforming into an ancient saint, holding a large blue bow, his eyes gleaming with cold light.

"Cao family, you've gone too far with your power, you're utterly ruthless!"

Ye Fan held the large bow with both hands, unleashing an overwhelming wave of energy. This was a Sacred Artifact, dazzling and crystal-clear. The bow, several zhang long, radiated a terrifying aura.

Ye Fan shifted his position, dodging thousands of light beams. With a mighty roar, he drew the bowstring, his entire body radiating brilliant light, aiming forward.

As if a volcano had erupted, or a vast sea had breached its dam, a fierce and awe-inspiring surge of energy erupted, illuminating eternity and piercing the long river of time.

With a soft cry, Ye Fan released the bowstring. A tremor that made bones and flesh tremble swept in all directions as the arrow flew, a brilliant beam of light like a blue ocean.

Boom!

The arrow struck a colossal battleship, five hundred zhang long. Instantly, light surged to the heavens, and a violent explosion erupted, shattering the very fabric of space there. Continuous black holes appeared, stretching for vast distances.

This was a catastrophic consequence. Many smaller nearby spacecraft were all affected, exploding one after another under the amplified shockwave of the sacred arrow, like the end of the world.

"Fall back!"

Orders were successively given from the three main battleships. They erected light shields, pushing forward to protect the fleet, and then unleashed destructive light beams.

Such powerful battleships were capable of shattering an ancient star. Their current attack on Ye Fan was naturally a huge disaster, like a raging tsunami sweeping across the cosmos.

Their defenses were astonishing; with the light shields extended, it was difficult for outsiders to breach them. For their enemies, there was only despair.

If not for his "Line" secret art, Ye Fan would surely have perished. The divine power of the three battleships was immense, capable of sweeping across boundless starfields, causing even saints to blanch wherever they passed.

In addition, six ancient saint mechas stood in the sky, brandishing golden divine swords, black dragon spears, purple sky-blades, and other weapons as they charged forward.

This was a great battle. The sky boiled, utterly ravaged. Even chaotic energy was unleashed, unable to withstand such terrifying force.

As for the mountain range, the moment Ye Fan ascended, it crumbled inch by inch, turning to dust, leaving nothing behind.

"Ye Fan, give me back my brother's life!" Cao Lin, alluring and beautiful, now had a somewhat distorted face, screaming shrilly. She was Cao Qing's older sister. Last time, she had led the battleships, but suffered heavy losses and retreated in disgrace.

Ye Fan did not reply. He vanished from his spot, using the Heavenly Court's secret art and the Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns to conceal himself as he charged forward.

At close range, he swung his golden fist, striking the light shield of a battleship with an earth-shattering clang. Unfortunately, only ripples spread like water, and he could not breach it.

This battleship was covered with countless Dao patterns on its hull; the interwoven radiance was impenetrable, which was why it was revered as a powerful main battleship.

Beams of light shot out together. The sky was filled with vibrant colors and shimmering streams of light, as various divine rays burst forth, appearing extremely dazzling. Every single beam was destructive.

Ye Fan retreated, moving horizontally and vertically, constantly changing positions, fiercely confronting them while controlling the ancient saint war-tool.

The three main battleships sealed the sky, their supreme defensive light shields descending to resist all of Ye Fan's attacks. Meanwhile, their dense swarm of smaller warships could mercilessly fire upon their enemy.

Ye Fan did not want to prolong the fight. He summoned his Chessboard Array Platform, intending to escape. However, the enemy discovered his intention, and the three battleships unleashed hundreds of millions of light threads, severing space itself.

This method was simple yet effective: pure violent disruption. Using supreme divine power, they cut space into countless segments. Ye Fan could traverse space, but he would immediately emerge from one of these fragmented sections.

"Ascetic from outside this domain, you are doomed! Give me back my nephew's life!" a middle-aged man roared. The battleship he commanded intensified its attack.

"I'll use your golden divine blood to sacrifice to my brother, grind all your bones to dust, and scatter them before his grave!" Cao Lin shrieked, filled with venom and hatred.

Ye Fan's expression remained unchanged. He attacked relentlessly, attempting to break through the blockade, but the battleships' light was like a sea, imprisoning and enveloping the area, making it impossible to breach.

Qi Yun said sinisterly, "It seems he's done for. He'll perish here today. We should also lend a hand; after all, we received a bounty for him, a divine mineral. We can't let this kid leave alive."

A battleship surged forth, joining the battlefield. All four directions were now sealed, making Ye Fan's situation even more critical, trapped in a desperate predicament.

"It's the Qi family's main battleship!" Ye Fan's expression turned cold.

"Ascetic from outside this domain, are you willing to join us? Perhaps we have a way to save you." Suddenly, someone secretly transmitted a message. An ancient saint mecha appeared in the distance, observing the battle from the sky.

"Who are you, and what are your conditions?" Ye Fan asked.

"I come from an organization called 'God.' All those who rank among us are peerless experts, often venturing outside the domain to mine divine minerals. We need ascetics like you," a divine sense projected from the mecha.

"If you want me to join, you'll have to show me your strength. First, help me sink a cosmic battleship!" Ye Fan said. The "God" within the ancient saint war-tool replied, "Your demand is too much. I've already contacted another God, and he said he wants to test you. You must demonstrate astonishing performance for us to deem you worthy of our intervention."

Ye Fan's expression was indifferent. He no longer paid attention to this "God."

The situation became increasingly critical. There was no longer any room for change; he was likely to perish. The four battleships compressed space, making it impossible for him to evade, even with the Heavenly Court's concealment art and Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns.

A flash of five-colored divine light, and five treasured swords spun to cleave a large section of the light shield. Unfortunately, it quickly healed, and he failed to break through.

Boom!

Heaven and earth ripped open. Ye Fan unleashed his Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, also shattering the light shield, and charged forward for over ten miles. But ultimately, he was swept back by the re-forming barrier.

"Your performance is astonishing; you are qualified to join 'God.' However, we want to see your potential. If it's impressive enough, you will become one of our core members," the 'God' transmitted.

Facing four battleships alone, for any Dao Slasher, it was like a myth, a true miracle. Therefore, even this mysterious organization acknowledged him.

Ye Fan sneered inwardly. He knew he had to rely on himself, as the other party still offered no help, apparently wanting to see his trump cards. This was clearly unreliable.

"Open up!"

Ye Fan fully activated the "Soldier" secret art, treating one main battleship, the dense fleet behind it, and the blazing light shield as a single entity. He exerted all his power to control them, intending to move them aside.

Boom!

The sky trembled, and the fleet of battleships shook. The impenetrable light shield rippled!

Everyone was stunned. What an immense and terrifying power this was! From such a distance, to control an invincible battleship fleet was comparable to lifting an ancient living star.

This was because the battleships contained supreme traces of the Grand Dao; every wisp of it could seal the cosmos. Who could shake them? These were leviathans capable of annihilating stars!

Yet Ye Fan did it! The "God" in the distance was startled, muttering to himself, "Does he truly have the potential to become a core member?"

As for Cao Lin, Qi Yun, and the others, they were all dumbfounded and utterly stunned. This was truly power that could move stars and moons, might that overshadowed the world!

"Is he... human?"

"How did this ascetic cultivate? It's truly astonishing!"

Many people stood speechless, almost gaping at the sight.

Boom!

Blood spilled from Ye Fan's mouth. What he was doing now was incredibly difficult; even with his power, he could not defy the heavens indefinitely.

Space was clearly sealed, and the light shield cut off everything, yet he forcibly moved it aside. Some warships lost balance, collided with each other, emitted brilliant light, and were continuously destroyed.

Ye Fan threw the battleship, breaking through the blockade. He spat out a mouthful of golden blood, having escaped the peerless killing formation created by the four battleships.

"Too powerful! He can escape even from that? Unbelievable!" Many major powers watching the battle were incredibly shocked by this scene.

"Who was that person just now? It seems to be a 'God' from that terrifying, boundless organization on the Eternal Main Star. Heavens, could this ascetic have caught the eye of 'God'?"

Ye Fan had fought his way out from the four battleships; for many, it was nothing short of a miracle!

"Don't let him escape! This man is terrifying, his potential boundless. If he gets away, there will certainly be boundless disaster in the future!" Qi Yun roared. It was the first time he felt fear.

Even before the Cao family could give chase, he had already led his fleet in pursuit, more eagerly than the people from the Eternal Main Star, because he was truly afraid.

"Exactly, kill him! Absolutely don't let him go!" Cao Lin also shouted, and her three battleships gave relentless chase.

But no matter what, they couldn't catch him. Ye Fan escaped the dangerous situation, plunged into a domain gate, and traveled away.

"This ascetic is very powerful; he's qualified to join 'God'!" The two 'Gods' from the Eternal Main Star exchanged glances, making this judgment.

Although Ye Fan had spat out golden blood, his physique was astonishing. He recovered in moments, his vitality unimpaired.

That very night, he entered the Qi family's territory alone. Using secret arts and Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns to conceal his aura, he ascended a floating divine island like a ghost.

This place was protected by various sacred marks and divine patterns, capable of defending against ancient saints. Yet, Ye Fan, utilizing his "Line" secret art, safely broke in, silent and undetected, with no alarms raised.

"This man is very powerful. Among ascetics, he must be invincible at his level. His future achievements will likely rival those of ancient deities! You must find him for me. If he isn't eliminated, I won't be able to rest or eat."

On the island, Qi Yun's expression was grim. This time, Ye Fan had escaped, leaving him deeply shaken. Having personally witnessed the other's terrifying power, a shadow fell over his heart.

He had gathered a group of powerful subordinates and was in discussion, intent on tracking down Ye Fan and determined to kill him.

"No need to search, I've come myself!" Ye Fan walked under the moonlight, his expression cold, stepping forward one by one, looking like a divine being.

"You..." Qi Yun was stunned, never expecting Ye Fan to be so audacious as to trespass into the Qi clan's forbidden territory, knowing that this place could defend against ancient saints.

Immediately, some people shot into the sky, intending to gather forces, send out an alarm, and use the full might of the Immortal Feather Qi Clan to kill Ye Fan.

"Not a single one of you will leave!" Ye Fan moved hundreds of zhang in a single step, intercepting them in the sky. With a "thud," he ripped off the heads of two soaring figures, bloody, and threw them to the ground.

The remaining people fell silent as cicadas in winter, their hair standing on end, chilled from head to toe.

"Tonight, I visit you. Tomorrow night, I will sink the Cao clan's main battleships!" Ye Fan, like a demon god, advanced step by step, his words chilling.
