Chapter 1343: Overbearing Presence

“How arrogant! Doesn't he fear this place becoming the burial ground for the Heavenly Overlord Bloodline?” The Dragon Horse snorted white smoke from its nostrils, striding forward, its bowl-sized hooves shattering the bluestone ground.

“Elder Horse, please go easy; don't damage the ancient city,” a soldier beside him said.

In recent days, they had become familiar with the Dragon Horse, Golden Lion, and other sacred beasts. These idle creatures roaming the city had significantly increased the pressure on the soldiers, though thankfully, no conflicts had yet arisen.

“The Overlord has always been like this, speaking his mind. He has decided to place the battlefield in the Human Race's Fiftieth City, and he will certainly not change his mind,” Liu Yun said, his green robes fluttering, exuding an air of serene detachment.

People couldn't help but sigh. The Overlord's divine might was unparalleled; he had fought his way deep into the ancient path, and even his envoy was so extraordinary, indicating his unfathomable cultivation.

“Does what he says go? Not everything in the world moves according to his will. But one thing is certain: I accept this challenge,” Ye Fan said.

He calmly accepted the challenge; a fated showdown would be inevitable!

The Human Race's Fiftieth City was abuzz at this moment. The news that the one with the Heavenly Overlord Bloodline constitution was returning to battle the Sacred Body from the Buried Emperor Star sparked heated discussions among everyone, who eagerly awaited the event.

Over the past few decades, many heroes had been buried in foreign lands, dying on the trial path, but never had a battle attracted so much attention. This was a major sensation.

“I'm really looking forward to it. After countless years of dormancy, two bloodlines have successively revived and emerged, arriving on the ancient starry path. This peak confrontation will reveal who is weaker and who is stronger!”

“Never before has my blood boiled like it does today. I urgently want to see the final outcome of this battle.”

In the city, many cultivators were agitated and found it hard to calm down. They wished the supreme expert of the Heavenly Overlord Bloodline would return immediately and commence this great battle.

The Overlord had not yet arrived, having only sent a challenge letter. Yet, the Sacred Body's acceptance of the challenge alone had already caused a clamor like a mountain collapse or a tsunami, illustrating the immense influence of this battle.

Liu Yun's eyes were clear as he said, “Does Brother Ye mean he doesn't want to fight in the starfield where the Human Race's Fiftieth City is located? But the Overlord has already chosen this place.”

“As I said, the world does not revolve around him,” Ye Fan said.

Everyone fell silent, not wanting to miss a single word. This battle stirred people's hearts; fearing to miss anything, the scene instantly became quiet.

Liu Yun said, “Does Brother Ye not think a duel here would be very significant? Tens of thousands of years ago, a world-shaking decisive battle that astonished the entire starry sky took place in the Human Race's Fiftieth City. Wouldn't it be a great story to continue that glorious battle here now?”

“What do you mean? Is this a provocation? I'll suppress you first!” The Dragon Horse immediately turned hostile. The Golden Lion, Black Bear Saint, Scorpion, and others stepped forward, deferring to its lead.

“Everyone has misunderstood; I have no intention of provoking,” Liu Yun calmly responded. “In the past, the Heavenly Overlord Bloodline was supreme, revered by the world, while the Sacred Body was defeated here, its blood staining the starry sky. For a duel in this era, choosing this location is exceptionally significant. If the Sacred Body wins, wouldn't it reverse everything and wash away the disgrace?”

Everyone showed a strange expression; what he said was indeed true. However, it reopened the wounds of the Sacred Body lineage, whose blood had been spilled in foreign realms and bones buried in distant lands—a mournful tragedy.

People watched quietly, unsure if he was doing it intentionally or unintentionally. To have the Sacred Body duel in this sorrowful place truly held a sense of a desperate, last-stand battle.

“It's not as if the Sacred Body lineage hasn't killed Overlords before. Why not go to *that* ancient place, so the Overlord can know shame and then find courage? Wouldn't that also be a great story?” the Dragon Horse sneered.

“Those ancient domains are very hard to find now,” Liu Yun replied.

Ye Fan waved his hand, stopping them from arguing further. For him, there was no sorrow or disgrace; he simply didn't take it to heart. He was unrivaled in this era, regardless of bloodline or past events.

“I just want to ask, is he definitely coming?”

“Yes, the Overlord keeps his word. Everything I just said was his intention; I am merely a messenger,” Liu Yun affirmed.

“How long will it take?” Ye Fan asked again.

“Not too long; he will arrive shortly,” Liu Yun said.

In recent years, the depths of the starry sky had been abuzz. Cracks had periodically appeared in a tomb suspected to belong to an ancient Great Emperor. Many powerful figures had attacked it for years, and the Overlord had also participated. He needed to conclude matters there before he could leave.

“I don't have time to wait for him. If he wants a fight, he should get here as soon as possible.”

“But the Overlord said choosing the Human Race's Fiftieth Pass for the decisive battle holds extraordinary significance for both of you,” Liu Yun said with difficulty.

Ye Fan calmly replied, saying, “Go tell him that any place where I stand, even if it's less than a zhang, can serve as a world-shaking battlefield. He can fight me wherever he is.”

Everyone was startled. Although the Sacred Body from the Buried Emperor Star didn't utter any impassioned words, his calm confidence was startling, revealing a grand, balanced, and serene demeanor.

Ye Fan's conviction was strong; he was composed and serene. After speaking, he said nothing more, gazing straight ahead.

Liu Yun felt a chill in his heart. Before coming here, he had entertained thoughts that if the Sacred Body was still far from fully developed, he could strike first, kill him, and create a great story.

Now, however, the opponent's composed demeanor made him feel uncertain. He put away his thoughts, deciding to let his master, who possessed the Heavenly Overlord Bloodline, handle everything himself.

“Do you have anything else to say?” the Dragon Horse asked, feeling that the Heavenly Overlord Bloodline lineage was too arrogant and wishing it could stomp the Overlord to death with one hoof.

“Yes.” Liu Yun nodded, presenting the challenge letter with both hands.

“It's just the character 'Battle'; we've all seen it. Is there any need to make such a fuss? You treat it like a treasure, but we don't think much of it,” the Nine-tailed Alligator Dragon said.

“The Overlord said that if the Sacred Body can't even accept the challenge letter, he will be very disappointed,” Liu Yun said with a solemn expression.

The paper suddenly glowed brightly, and the bloody character “Battle” on it became even more dazzling than before. It erupted with a soaring battle intent; every stroke trembled, like heaven-piercing sword energy.

The bloody character “Battle” vibrated, causing the entire sky to crack as if it were about to fall. Everyone around turned pale and retreated immediately.

“Clang...”

A bell's chime shook the vast cosmos violently. It was as if an Overlord Bell had awakened, with the Heavenly Overlord Bloodline Supreme Body from tens of thousands of years ago reappearing, and a terrible ripple spreading.

Of course, it wasn't attacking everyone. The bell wave seemed sentient, surging solely towards Ye Fan. Others only felt a trembling aura and were not severely harmed.

“This is... too terrifying! Just a piece of paper, a bloody character, yet it unleashes such a domineering aura. It contains the Overlord's spiritual will!”

“Indeed, this fluctuation is comparable to that of a Saint King!”

Everyone was shocked, knowing this was just a piece of paper. If writing a bloody character possessed such power, how terrifying would the true Overlord be?

“The person with the Heavenly Overlord Blood flowing within them is truly terrifying, worthy of being the supreme figure of the young generation on this ancient path. Such a method is truly heaven-defying; who can contend with it?”

Among the native residents of the Human Race's Fiftieth City were many ancient families. Now, even some powerful old patriarchs were amazed, their expressions changing, their hearts shaken.

“Just a piece of paper, and the Overlord Body is astonishing, truly heaven-defying!”

The city was noisy. People now felt some sympathy for Ye Fan. With such a powerful archenemy returning to duel, even the extraordinary Sacred Body bloodline from the Buried Emperor Star would likely be in danger.

“He already reached the Saint King realm!” Emissary Zhao Gongyi, who was also observing, stated Hun Zhan's cultivation realm, adding that otherwise, such terrifying spiritual will could not have been left behind.

“What should we do then?” Yang Xi asked, tilting his head up, his voice naive.

“I think the Path Protectors will probably step forward to stop this duel. They wouldn't want a young supreme being to fall right now,” the Emissary said.

On the ground in front of Ye Fan, patterns emerged, forming a hand of light that received the challenge letter. Even as the “Battle” character rent the sky, it ultimately failed to destroy the hand of light.

This was a manifestation of Source Arts; the Human Race's Fiftieth City had countless divine sources buried beneath it and was arrayed with astonishing grand formations, protecting this ancient city.

Ye Fan's Source Arts were now heaven-reaching; with his feet connected to the earth, he naturally instantly activated the divine power, turning it to his own use.

Liu Yun was startled and quickly retreated. He had originally thought that the Overlord's essence, qi, and spirit would certainly make the Sacred Body flustered, but he had not expected the opponent wouldn't even extend a hand.

“I've read this letter,” Ye Fan said. The paper fell to the ground. He stepped on it with one foot, light waves flowing around him, and calmly walked away.

Everyone was startled. Hun Zhan was domineering, but the aura of the person before them was also formidable; stepping on the challenge letter in such a way was enough to explain everything.

The Sacred Body's duel with the Overlord Body was now absolutely unavoidable.

Liu Yun was puzzled. No matter how powerful the opponent was, he shouldn't be so composed. He could actually step on the letter without triggering the astonishing attack within the paper.

He found it hard to believe that someone could stomp on the Overlord's spiritual power. With a look of doubt, he walked forward and picked up the bloody challenge letter.

Faint, almost invisible dao patterns appeared on it, and Liu Yun inwardly cried out, “Not good!” He hurriedly threw it away and quickly retreated, but it was still too late; the Overlord's spiritual power surged out like a tsunami!

Everyone was repelled, feeling as if a world-devouring Overlord was roaring and shaking a great bell. His divine might was unparalleled, capable of even injuring Saint Kings.

“Pfft!”

Liu Yun screamed miserably. Even with his swift reaction, his body was almost torn apart; he flew horizontally, his blood staining the void.

Ye Fan did not look back. Not everyone knew the Six Heavenly Immortal Seals. He could easily seal the challenge letter and step on it, and naturally, he could also unseal it instantly.

Once triggered, the challenge letter was equivalent to a Saint King's strike. Liu Yun had activated it when presenting it to Ye Fan, but now, having picked it up himself, he was suddenly attacked and nearly perished body and soul.

The news that the Sacred Body would battle the Overlord Body not only caused a sensation in the Human Race's Fiftieth Pass but also spread to nearby ancient paths and cities, making this route immediately clamorous.

“Is this true or false? This is like a divine battle among the younger generation! We absolutely cannot miss it; we must go and see for ourselves.”

“What a pity... there's no divine light platform!”

“Let's ask the Emissaries to take us to watch the battle!”

The ancient path was abuzz; the news spread further and further.

“What, Ye Fan is here! That damned Heavenly Overlord Body, daring to arrogantly bully my brother! Once I break free, you'll be the first I destroy! Someone, anyone, pull me out of this cursed great tomb, and I'll give them a scroll of the Demon Emperor Immortal Scripture.”

The news spread rapidly; even trial-takers in some life-forbidden zones were discussing it.
