Chapter 1456: Killing Until No One in the World Dares to Claim Supremacy

The Earth Corpse was dead, as was the Heaven-Devouring Beast. Both had fallen in battle before the Bodhi Tree, and other cultivators lay dead at Ye Fan's feet. This outcome sent shivers down everyone's spines!

The entire battlefield was silent. By now, those still alive were in despair. How could they fight? They were no match at all. Worse still, escape was impossible.

Everyone recognized Ye Fan's invincible state; he stood firm in the Forbidden Domain, truly unchallenged in this place!

"How could he advance so quickly, reaching this domain so prematurely? Who will be able to contend with him in the future?" People despaired.

"Will he truly become an Emperor in the future?" someone asked, trembling.

Throughout history, few who entered this domain perished; most left their names in the annals, achieving world-shaking feats.

The most outstanding among them were destined to become Emperors!

People shuddered instantly. A Sacred Body becoming an Emperor would mark an unprecedented event throughout history. The more challenging the path, the more supreme and sacred the ultimate Dao fruit would be. How powerful would that be?

"Not necessarily. Even so, historically, more than half were blocked at that threshold and ultimately did not dominate the entire universe." Some forced themselves to remain calm, though what was in their hearts remained unknown.

Ancient Great Emperors represented brilliance and signified invincibility; the mere mention of their title sent shivers down one's spine.

Even tens of thousands of years after their passing, their immortal legends persisted in the world. Especially their glorious achievements before becoming Emperors were truly heaven-defying, sweeping aside their contemporaries with overwhelming force! Why was this so? Precisely because they stood within the Forbidden Domain.

Even if later generations mastered Emperor scriptures and the ultimate techniques of the Forbidden Chapters, these were not their own Dao. They could not perfectly align with their beings and always had some gap compared to the originators, making it impossible to contend with those in the Forbidden Domain.

The Divine Race's Heavenly Maiden, Shen Lan, turned pale. Although she was on the edge of the battlefield and had not acted, she felt a sense of suffocation. Her past arrogant demands for Ye Fan to join the Divine Race now seemed rather laughable.

The Nine-Eyed Jade Toad, Great Devil God, Heavenly Wolf, Di Tian, and others all remained silent, standing far away. Some had almost made a move and now wondered what feelings stirred within them.

"While standing in the Forbidden Domain is terrifying, granting an undefeated posture across all regions, most individuals still fail and find it difficult to cross that threshold."

Moreover, no Sacred Body had ever achieved Dao since ancient times, which was the greatest comfort for many. No one wished for Ye Fan to reach that domain; merely thinking about it sent chills down their spines.

Further away, the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master had transformed into human form, his golden hair standing on end, eyes wide and bloodshot at the corners. Earlier, he had been reckless, nearly merging with the formation diagram, vowing to charge towards the Bodhi Tree.

But now he hesitated, choosing to stay away from the battlefield. However, that was difficult to achieve because his opponent was Ji Haoyue.

Ji Haoyue had much blood at the corner of his mouth, but his fighting spirit grew even stronger. He exerted his full power, activating an ancient mirror, causing it to revive and contend against the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master.

Their duel was far from the Bodhi Tree area, a forbidden zone where others dared not approach, lest they be instantly torn to shreds. The two weapons were too powerful, emanating faint traces of Quasi-Emperor might, which no one could withstand.

However, Ji Haoyue was ultimately a realm lower, his body heavily wounded, and the situation was grim. Coupled with the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master's desperate, no-holds-barred attack, Ji Haoyue was forced to retreat.

At this moment, having witnessed the divine might of the Emperor Fist, the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master couldn't help but let out a long howl heavenward. He was consumed by rage and hatred. The enemy's momentum was overwhelming. Even if he charged forward, could he slay the Human Race Sacred Body? He might very well die!

Heaven and Earth trembled, shrouded in chaotic mist. A blurry figure approached, sturdy and with thick black hair. Two sharp gazes pierced through the mist, fixing on the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master.

Ye Fan arrived, with the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron above his head. Chaos and mother qi cascaded from the cauldron's mouth like a waterfall, shielding him as he advanced step by step!

He possessed formidable offensive power; the Heavenly Emperor Fist shattered all resistance, forcing all beings to retreat, leaving no one capable of confronting him. Now, with such a defensive weapon, his combined offense and defense were unparalleled among those of the same cultivation level.

Furthermore, the cauldron's offensive aspect had yet to be revealed!

"Ah..." The Golden Snake Eldest Young Master howled heavenward, filled with immense hatred. To be forced to such a point today, with his brothers fallen in battle, and now his own life in peril.

"Kill!"

Although he held an ancestral artifact, he knew well that Ye Fan must also possess a powerful hidden trump card; otherwise, the Golden Snake Second Young Master would not have perished so inexplicably that day.

He roared loudly, activating the Teng Snake Formation Diagram, causing Ji Haoyue to cough up mouthfuls of blood and be sent flying. Yet, Ji Haoyue could not escape.

This was because, in battles of this level, individuals were not the most crucial factor; ancient artifacts were fundamental. Both the treasured mirror and his Teng Snake Diagram were supremely powerful and great, ancestral treasures of their respective races.

"Boom!"

This part of the sky shattered. The treasured mirror pulsed with light, releasing countless shimmering threads. A hazy orb of light enveloped Ji Haoyue, sending him flying tens of thousands of feet away. He was covered in blood, many of his bones broken.

The Golden Snake Eldest Young Master also suffered. His chest collapsed, his heart nearly exploding from the mirror's light. He spat out large mouthfuls of blood, and fragments of bone inside his body almost broke free.

"Let me handle this!"

Ye Fan arrived nearby, shielding Ji Haoyue. He advanced alone, confronting the young supreme expert of the Teng Snake race. Ji Haoyue coughed up a mouthful of blood, withdrew from the battle, and watched, holding his mirror.

"Human Race Sacred Body, you killed my three brothers! This enmity is higher than the heavens, deeper than the seas; you cannot atone for it even with a hundred deaths!" the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master gnashed his teeth.

This hatred was too immense; he wished he could flay the person before him alive, but he knew it was impossible. Now, cornered by two powerful experts, his only option was a bloody battle.

"Then go reunite with your brothers!" Ye Fan said coolly. He had no desire to say more. Grandeur, unyielding determination, embodiment of justice... none of that was necessary. The truth was, the other party had been too presumptuous, actively provoking him and attempting to kill him, only to be completely annihilated by him.

The Golden Snake Eldest Young Master's eyes were cold and sinister. The formation diagram above his head swirled, transforming into a ball of immortal light that flew towards Ye Fan. He shouted, "Let me see what ancestral artifact you truly possess!"

With no escape route, a bloody battle was his only choice; he had to fight desperately. He exerted all his strength to revive the Teng Snake Diagram, sending it crashing towards Ye Fan's skull with a resounding rumble.

"Ooom!"

The cauldron suspended above Ye Fan's head roared, and the mother qi cascading from it intensified, shrouding Heaven and Earth, rendering him impervious to all techniques. Moreover, at this moment, a translucent green light, like jade, emerged from within the cauldron's mouth, blocking the immense pressure from above.

"What is that?!" The Golden Snake Eldest Young Master opened his Heavenly Eye, trying his utmost to see clearly, desperate to understand. Ye Fan's secret artifact had puzzled him for years.

Within a swirl of jade-green light, the Teng Snake Formation Diagram whimpered, then astonishingly shot upwards, directly into the clouds, vanishing instantly.

This sight not only startled the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master but also shocked the Nine-Eyed Jade Toad, Di Tian, Shen Lan, Great Devil God, Heavenly Wolf, and others. What exactly was this item? Its power was utterly overwhelming.

Ye Fan advanced with awe-inspiring divine might, his body indistinct, shrouded in mist. The cauldron above his head floated and sank, and within its mouth, green light surged, unable to settle for a long time.

The Golden Snake Eldest Young Master despaired. With the Teng Snake Formation Diagram startled into fleeing into the depths of the universe, how could he possibly fight?

However, Ye Fan did not sacrifice the cauldron; his true body advanced to attack, intending to kill his enemy with his most powerful secret technique. Moments later, the green light receded, and the area returned to tranquility.

"You wish to fight my true body? Very well, I couldn't ask for more!" The Golden Snake Eldest Young Master saw a glimmer of hope. His expression turned sinister, his bones crackled throughout his body as he unleashed divine power and charged forward.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan's fist moved, reaching the eight directions, and golden energy surged forward. The Golden Snake Eldest Young Master's body violently shook, and he staggered backward, covered in bloodstains with blood dripping from him.

This achievement alone was enough for the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master to be proud of: directly clashing with Ye Fan, who stood in the Forbidden Domain, and his physical body remaining intact. How incredibly powerful was that? How many could contend with Ye Fan's physique?

Yet, it was rather tragic now.

The two engaged in a fierce battle. The Golden Snake Eldest Young Master, in human form, his golden hair flying like burning flames, wore a ferocious expression, his killing intent boiling.

This battle continued for over ninety rounds, surpassing all previous encounters, showing a distinct trend of dragon-tiger rivalry. However, everyone knew that the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master was failing. He was covered in blood, his bones shattered, having suffered extremely dreadful injuries.

Nothing seemed outwardly visible now, but his physical body was undoubtedly ruined; his internal bones, meridians, and other structures could collapse at any moment!

"Ah..."

The Golden Snake Eldest Young Master roared in fury. His body finally could not bear it and began to crack. But at this moment, his forehead glowed brightly, and a palm-sized golden snake flew out, releasing immortal divine power and lunging towards Ye Fan's Immortal Terrace.

Teng Snake's Divine Transformation!

This cultivation technique was sinister and strange, a metamorphosis of the primordial spirit, a "rebirth" of the soul, achieving sublimation and strengthening one's spiritual consciousness!

The palm-sized Teng Snake, carrying a small golden bell in its mouth, arrived instantly, appearing before them in the blink of an eye.

Like a death knell tolling, its bell waves spread, shattering everything, utterly terrifying. They pressed forward to the Myriad Things Mother Qi, but ultimately could not penetrate it.

A hint of cold indifference appeared on Ye Fan's lips. He retrieved the cauldron into his Immortal Terrace, allowing the small snake to charge close. His forehead glowed brilliantly, and a fist-sized golden figure stepped out. It did not carry the cauldron, nor did it wield a weapon; it used only a single punch!

The golden figure was Ye Fan's primordial spirit, and it still unleashed the Heavenly Emperor Fist. It was dazzlingly brilliant, shaking the Gods and Devils' Burial Ground, making everyone's primordial spirits unstable, almost on the verge of shattering.

"Clang..."

The death knell tolled mournfully, its purpose unknown. Ye Fan was unharmed, but the golden snake broke apart inch by inch, and then the small golden bell suddenly exploded.

With a soft sound, the Golden Snake Eldest Young Master's physical body also disintegrated, blood splattering everywhere. He became a mist of blood, his form and spirit utterly annihilated.

The four young supreme experts of the Teng Snake lineage had embarked on the ancient path, slaughtering all in their way, annihilating many races, and sweeping all before them, their hands stained with blood. Yet, in the end, they too died on the battlefield, all slain by Ye Fan alone.

Silence fell across the four directions. Who could resist?

Now, with the Human Race Sacred Body present, who dared claim supremacy from this point forward? At least not within this starfield.

Daoist Qing Huang's dying prophecy came true: numerous powerful cultivators and prodigies from various races had largely perished, all dying at the hands of one person, their blood staining the other shore red.

These individuals had reigned supreme on one ancient path, proclaimed as the strongest, young supremes of their respective regions. But upon reaching the broader starfield, only desolation remained for them.

In fact, it had always been so since ancient times; such tragedies repeatedly unfolded. Every great era was built upon the bones of heroic figures. Behind the glory of a prosperous age, a sea of blood and mountains of bones lay in retrospect.

"The curtain has fallen..." Di Tian and others turned to leave. Although they were on the edge of the battlefield and had not acted, they might still be held accountable.

Ye Fan swung his fist, striking in all directions. Beam after beam of golden light shattered the sky, annihilated all things, and horizontally cut down all remaining enemies.

The White-haired Heavenly Wolf's back was almost pierced through, bone gleaming and blood splattering. The Nine-Eyed Jade Toad flew horizontally, covered in blood. Di Tian, Great Devil God, and Shen Lan's bodies also shook violently. In the end, only those five managed to escape.

All the remaining individuals were blown apart in Heaven and Earth with a single punch, turning into blood mist. This was a great massacre; Ye Fan had completely annihilated the prodigies of various races.

There was only one Supreme! The mountains and valleys rumbled.

By now, there was no need for further words; Ye Fan's performance spoke for itself, fighting until no one in the world dared claim supremacy.

At the very least, no contender for the Emperor's Path in this starfield dared to step forward!
