Chapter 1409: Death

## Chapter 1412: Demise

"So many people have arrived; are they plotting to encircle and kill my companion?" The Black Bear Saint's expression changed. He stood up on his hind legs, his pair of winnowing-basket-like bear claws seeming to tear the sky. His roar shook the sea, causing colossal waves to surge.

"Ye Zi, let's break out of here. If they are all targeting us, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Pang Bo's expression also changed. Even with his confidence, and no matter how formidable Ye Fan was, it would be difficult to contend with ten young supreme beings.

*Clang!* The great bow in Ye Fan's hand trembled slightly, emitting the aura of a primeval beast. It intimidated the entire Sea of Misery, causing the distant young supreme beings to feel a tremor in their hearts.

The bow's body was forged from the bone of a Saint King-level Silver-backed Azure Flood Dragon, while the bowstring was a divine string crafted from dragon sinews, tempered countless times within the Cauldron of Myriad Mother Qi.

At this moment, merely holding it in hand produced various phenomena, let alone firing a holy arrow. Immortal light steamed, ferocious beasts leaped, and dragon roars echoed through the eight directions.

Ye Fan's killing intent stirred. He shot an arrow, and winds howled and thunder roared as if a heavenly tribulation had descended. An azure dragon coiled around the holy bone arrow, and a group of black tigers cleared the way. Its overwhelming might directly shattered the void!

This was an arrow of supreme power, capable of destroying heaven and earth, accompanied by the roars of gods and devils. The mere sound was loud enough to collapse mountains, let alone the actual impact of the arrow.

On the other side, the three powerhouses—Devouring Beast, Blood Beast, and Gold-Eating Beast—all changed color. They had not expected Ye Fan's arrow to possess such immense power, enough to overturn heaven and earth.

*Boom!* They unleashed their divine power, and various brilliant lights surged forth. The ancient ship seemed to ignite. They quickly maneuvered the ship to evade. In this vast and boundless Sea of Misery, a sea-faring vessel was the most precious possession; once lost, falling into the sea would reduce one to a mortal.

*Woo-woo…* A strange whistle sounded. The white bone arrow, imbued with Ye Fan's spiritual will and being the essence of holy bone, pursued them relentlessly, indestructible, clinging like bone.

"Open!" The young supreme, Blood Beast, stepped forth. At this moment, he appeared as a red-haired Taoist. He roared, unleashing vast waves of Dao energy, and a blood-red ocean appeared before him, forming a great bow to counter Ye Fan's shot.

However, the holy bone arrow was too sharp. It instantly pierced through his blood arrow, closing the distance significantly and heading straight for the ancient ship.

The crimson ocean before Blood Beast exploded. The holy bone arrow, carrying immense divine might, tore through his protective light, and the great bow in his hand snapped with a loud crack.

*Pfft!* Blood splattered, and Blood Beast's expression suddenly changed. He used his hands to unleash peerless ancient arts, but the arrow merely grazed him before moving on. It possessed a spiraling divine force that instead borrowed his strength, effectively using his own power to wound his palm.

The holy bone arrow, taking advantage of this, gained a spiritual will as if it had come alive, changing direction at extreme speed and shooting downwards to pierce the ancient ship.

"Not good!" Devouring Beast and Gold-Eating Beast both changed color. This arrow had become sentient; its embedded spiritual will was resolute in destroying the ship. This was a major problem.

No one had expected the arrow shot by Ye Fan to be so sharp that Blood Beast couldn't block it, and instead, his own hands were bloody.

Drops of blood landed on the arrow shaft, making its radiance even brighter. With a thunderous boom, it struck the ship's hull, emitting ten thousand beams of light, and directly exploded.

The ancient ship left by the gods was naturally no ordinary item; even ordinary saints might not be able to destroy it. But the arrow shot by Ye Fan was too overbearing, carrying immense divine power.

*Boom!* The ancient ship disintegrated. Devouring Beast, Blood Beast, and Gold-Eating Beast each stepped onto a large piece of wood and flew into the distance, avoiding the resulting vortex. Otherwise, even they would have been affected.

"Such power..." Not just them; even the pupils of the four young masters of the Golden Snake Race sharply contracted, emitting streaks of sharp, cold light.

As the white bone arrow exploded, a golden world appeared. Dao bells, immortal swords, celestial towers, gourds, and divine streams all flew together, all cast from gold, as if the heavenly realm's armory had been opened.

Ye Fan's arrow was incredibly versatile; it even contained an ancient art, the Golden Divine Treasury, which instantly manifested, destroying the ancient ship while simultaneously attacking the three supreme beings.

The Divine Race's Ping Lan, Sang Gu, a descendant of primeval gods and devils, and the Copper Ant King all showed grave expressions. This arrow possessed immense power; if one was not careful, they could be pierced by a single shot.

The Golden Divine Treasury appeared, and various Daoist weapons flew. Without a doubt, it completely shredded the ancient ship left by the gods, nearly wounding Blood Beast and the others.

Before Ye Fan could unleash a second arrow, the Golden Snake Four Young Masters' ancient ship arrived, only a few hundred zhang away. Four golden snakes stood side by side on the bow, their golden snake bodies, several zhang long, causing a tremor of fear.

"Sacred Body, come and die!" the Golden Snake Second Young Master roared, his body shooting forth like a straight golden divine arrow loosed from a bowstring, heading straight for Ye Fan to decide victory or defeat, life or death.

This speed was astonishingly fast; it was like a primordial light streaking, piercing the dark universe and illuminating it in an instant. As descendants of the Teng Snake, extreme flight techniques were one of their primal instincts.

The Golden Snake Second Young Master was too powerful. Wherever he passed, the void collapsed, the great sea roared, waves struck the sky, and clouds dispersed, as if a golden god-demon had arrived.

Ye Fan cast aside his great bow and soared upwards. His speed was incredible, almost making time reverse. In an instant, he was before the Golden Snake Second Young Master, and punched to kill.

The Golden Snake Second Young Master's heart pounded violently. The last time they engaged in a physical confrontation, half of his snake body was in excruciating pain. Today, he had intended to fight with ancient arts, but he hadn't expected Ye Fan to be so aggressive, appearing before him so quickly!

*Boom!* The golden fist shattered the vacuum, striking directly before him. This was a pure, devastating strike. The Golden Snake Second Young Master least wished to see this situation, but his opponent was determined to fight him head-on like this.

It was originally supposed to be a confrontation of ancient arts, but Ye Fan's speed was too great, closing the distance instantly. The sky was filled with sounds like blacksmithing, the clanging echoing deafeningly.

"Roar..." The Golden Snake Second Young Master roared, resembling a resurrected god-demon. With an open-mouthed roar, a galaxy appeared as if creating heaven and earth, transforming into a nebula of chaos to suppress Ye Fan.

*Boom!* Ye Fan met strength with strength, without defending, relying solely on his fists to cleave the universe, dimming this chaotic star sea and causing a great collapse.

Who was stronger? The two stood in direct opposition, each wanting to suppress and subdue the other with absolute, supreme might, like two god-demons colliding.

"I never imagined the Golden Snake lineage to be this powerful," the Dragon Horse said, a solemn expression on his face. "The Second Young Master alone is truly a peerless and troublesome foe. If all four of them appear together, unless the Divine Race, Sang Gu, and others unite, no single force could contend with them."

Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation surged, with blood energy like a sea, dozens of times more violent than the fluctuations of the Sea of Misery. It scattered the clouds on the horizon and arrived with a furious roar.

Blood Beast finally made his move again. Heaven and earth cracked as he attacked Ye Fan with an ancient art, commanding the Asura Black Blood Sea to transform into one hundred thousand divine swords of slaughter, which shattered the vast ancient domain and cleaved downwards.

Ye Fan, like a humanoid true dragon, soared into the air, fiercely clashing with the Golden Snake Second Young Master, trading blows close to his body, suppressing his golden snake body until the snake's body began to convulse.

Then, with a loud boom, the two separated. Ye Fan's right fist shot upwards, intercepting the ten thousand celestial swords that were striking down. This was a powerful condensation of essence, qi, and spirit, imbued with a will. It embodied the true meaning of "one weapon breaking ten thousand laws," contained within his fist.

"Let ten thousand Asura swords of slaughter strike; I will break them with a single horizontal punch!" With a thunderous sound, the blood sea surged, and one blood sword after another exploded. The area became crimson, as if countless beings had bled, staining the place red.

The Golden Snake Second Young Master used this opportunity to retreat, his heart furious. He did not want to engage Ye Fan in a physical confrontation. Earlier, when his opponent closed the distance and attacked him at close range, if he hadn't been exceptionally powerful and the most courageous among the younger generation, he would have surely bled.

Ye Fan charged towards Blood Beast, his fist power shattering the sky, intending to finish him. At the same time, the Golden Divine Treasury, Five-Colored Divine Light, and other techniques emerged simultaneously, sweeping away the Golden Snake Second Young Master and blocking him from joining the battle.

Blood Beast was enraged. Ye Fan was clearly looking down on him; the meaning was obvious. He wanted to eliminate him first before confronting the Golden Snake Second Young Master, treating him as the weaker one.

As a dignified supreme being of the younger generation, when had he ever been so belittled? A fire seemed to burn in his heart. His ancient arts reached the heavens as the blood sea condensed, transforming into a crimson sun that pressed down on Ye Fan.

The endless Asura Blood Sea condensed into a crimson sun the size of a human face. The destructive power contained within it was unimaginable; if it were to hit Ye Fan at close range, it would be a major disaster.

Ye Fan's hands moved, performing arts. He used the Sage Fighting Technique to activate the black Sea of Misery below, also condensing a black sun which crashed into the crimson scorching sun. Both contained unique magical power.

When the calm settled, Ye Fan stood like a god-demon. A great bow appeared in his hand, and he continuously fired holy bone arrows, his killing intent surging to the heavens!

Even surrounded by formidable enemies—the Golden Snake Four Young Masters, Sang Gu, Copper Ant King, Devouring Beast, and others—he remained fearless, determined to end Blood Beast's life.

Behind Blood Beast, a clanging sound echoed as nine divine swords appeared, all supreme secret treasures, Saint King-level artifacts grown from the blood sea of his homeland.

However, Ye Fan's killing aura was too intense; even with the boundless malevolent aura of the blood sea, it was slightly inferior. Ye Fan's martial dao will surged, his killing intent tearing through the sky. No one, no matter who came, could stop him!

Everyone felt his killing aura, and their hearts shuddered. Even the Golden Snake Second Young Master's heart skipped a beat; he temporarily ceased his attack to silently observe the battle.

The firmament shattered, and ghosts wailed as gods roared. The arrows shot by Ye Fan were accompanied by various phenomena: Vermillion Birds struck across three thousand worlds, Kun Pengs flapped their wings, cleaving nine heavens, chaotic deities roared, and ancient primeval people performed blood sacrifices to the sky.

These were all carvings on the walls of the Cauldron of Myriad Mother Qi, now manifesting with the arrows.

*Boom!* His killing aura continuously surged. Ye Fan's entire body was enveloped in a terrifying clear radiance as he continuously drew his bow and fired arrows, attacking Blood Beast opposite him.

This was a long-range attack, but it was even more intense than close-quarters combat because all secret techniques, ancient methods, and more were appearing and exploding in succession.

Ye Fan fired arrows in succession, drawing his bow a hundred times in total, which was equivalent to a terrifying hundred-move battle—truly horrifying!

Each holy bone arrow contained different profound truths of the Dao, a manifestation of his techniques and profound arts. Primordial Magnetic Immortal Light, Primordial Emperor Dao Sword, and other abilities were contained in different arrows, and their divine lights of order varied, yet all possessed immense power.

Although it was a long-range attack, it was even more intense. This was a direct confrontation, the strongest duel—a hundred moves to decide victory or defeat, life or death!

In a sense, this was a peak blood battle where one person was bound to fall. Both sides possessed monstrous killing intent, shaking the Sea of Misery.

*Crack!* Blood Beast's nine divine swords successively exploded. The hundred holy bone arrows contained Ye Fan's peerless martial dao essence; they were not ordinary shots, but equivalent to numerous ancient arts unleashed simultaneously, and overwhelmingly powerful.

"Roar!" Blood Beast roared loudly, and another ancient treasure appeared on him. The Treasure Gathering Ancient Basin absorbed from all directions, blocking the attacks of the supreme ancient arts.

But the ancient basin was also shattered!

*Pfft!* The hundred strongest arrows, imbued with Ye Fan's spirit, were a manifestation of his invincible will. Indestructible, evolving into a hundred arts, they struck Blood Beast's body with a thunderous boom.
