Chapter 1542: The End of Ziwei

**Chapter 1546: The Curtain Falls on Ziwei**

“Someone was undergoing tribulation just now; the lightning was so immense! Could someone be achieving Dao? It’s unimaginable!”

“Unfortunately, they failed, leaving behind an eternal regret!”

Throughout history, countless astonishing heroes have perished at the final, most crucial step of their lives. Just half a step separated them from hell and heaven.

In the world, only a pool of blood remained. The cauldron was also shattered into fragments, scattered everywhere.

“Master!” Ye Tong cried out, his voice filled with heartbroken despair.

Li Tian and Yan Yixi were also profoundly shaken. The blood seemed devoid of divinity, dull and lifeless, as if its spiritual essence had been completely extinguished.

“Brother…” Little Nannan’s eyes welled up with tears.

“He’s gone?” Only the Divine Child seemed unconcerned, muttering softly. He then received a hard slap, nearly bursting his bottom even through the Immortal Source.

“Brother will be fine!” Little Nannan murmured, though her eyes were filled with tears.

The pool of blood began to stir, then slowly glowed. Among the cauldron fragments, a single drop of vibrant, almost dripping, crimson blood essence appeared, dazzling and radiating an ocean of vital energy.

“Kill!”

Suddenly, a terrifying divine sense attacked. Someone unleashed a Great Saint weapon, striking at Ye Fan’s true blood, intending to eradicate him in his moment of vulnerability.

“Boom!”

Fortunately, Li Tian and Yan Yixi had remained vigilant. Even when an ominous feeling arose, making them fear Ye Fan had met with an accident, they did not lower their guard.

The Divine Maiden Furnace struck out, blocking the weapon and unleashing a torrent of brilliant light that annihilated it.

A drop of fresh red blood fell into the golden traces, beginning to roll, constructing bones and reassembling the true body. A human form rapidly appeared, and the vanished Ye Fan reappeared in the world.

At the same time, the cauldron fragments vibrated, transforming into a brilliant rain of light, rushing together. With a clang, like a divine drum echoing from ancient times, its sound reverberated throughout the starry sky.

The cauldron also reassembled, wisps of primordial qi permeated, and divine laws flowed like liquid. After countless refinements, the Cauldron of All Things formed, displaying its unparalleled majesty.

Then, after a moment of extreme brilliance, it reverted to its ancient simplicity, hovering above Ye Fan’s head, now a true Great Saint artifact.

On the cauldron’s walls, the runes became even more complex. These were patterns born from chaos, naturally formed, giving a sense of the Dao nearing perfection.

Ye Fan’s true body finally solidified completely, though his face was pale, and his body trembled, nearly collapsing.

“Brother!” Little Nannan stretched out her small hands, wanting to rush forward. Ye Tong quickly led her, and Li Tian and others swiftly approached.

“I’m fine, don’t worry,” Ye Fan said, stroking Little Nannan’s head and wiping away her tears. He then looked at Ye Tong and the others, offering a reassuring smile.

Then, he suddenly extended a large hand that covered the sky, reaching straight forward. With a puff, several figures turned into dust, his Great Saint might undeniably revealed.

Only one of the assailants had been obliterated by the Divine Maiden Furnace earlier. These few had also been secretly manipulating that Great Saint artifact, which Ye Fan clearly perceived, and they instantly shattered.

“Immortal… he became a Great Saint!”

Everyone in the Ziwei starfield was dumbfounded, chills running down their spines. He was already terrifying as a Saint King, but now he was so powerful—who could possibly stand against him?

Ye Fan sat cross-legged in the starry sky, beginning to recuperate. His injuries were too severe this time; his body had been utterly mangled, and everything had been reassembled. He had almost died completely.

Vital energy from all directions was drawn towards him. Ye Tong quickly pulled Little Nannan back, and Li Tian and Yan Yixi did the same; they could no longer stay in that spot.

Finally, a massive beam of light emerged from the sun, shining directly onto Ye Fan. Primeval energy from all corners of the universe surged forth.

A Great Saint replenishing their essence was terrifying, especially with Ye Fan’s physique, which was like a bottomless pit. The heavens and earth rumbled, and an ocean of vital energy flowed into him, causing him to glow, gradually resembling a divine wheel suspended in the air.

Ye Fan, with a solemn and majestic appearance, remained motionless. He was reshaping his physical body here, cleansing his organs and bones, like a deity.

The sound of blood flowing was like a roaring river, deafening. Within the golden blood, fresh crimson began to reappear, emitting a radiant glow!

Those with divine vision could clearly see the changes in Ye Fan’s flesh and blood, and they were all stunned. Every pulsation of his flesh, blood, and bones sounded like a Dao weapon humming softly.

What an incredibly powerful physique this must be, so terrifying! One might imagine a single drop of his blood could destroy a Saint weapon, and a single punch could shatter any Great Saint artifact!

For seven days and seven nights, Ye Fan did not move. He was undergoing a transformation, healing his injuries, and forging his Great Saint body. His interior rumbled—it was the lingering thunder tribulation, tempering his physique and meridians.

His primordial spirit also flew out, embracing the small cauldron. It too rumbled and vibrated, becoming increasingly harmonious, its Dao principles blazing brightly.

Finally, everything concluded. Ye Fan had passed the Great Saint tribulation and was now a true Patriarch-level figure, capable of overlooking an entire starfield.

“Great Saint Ye!” Li Tian exclaimed.

A Great Saint over two hundred years old was considered quite young in any era. Compared to lifespans often reaching six or seven thousand years, he was still in his infancy, just beginning!

Furthermore, the Human Sacred Body’s extraordinary vitality meant he would live even longer, making his path ahead appear even more brilliant.

This journey was destined to be momentous. Ye Fan’s vital energy became contained, and he returned to a state of calm. Yet, with every movement, he exuded a Dao charm that inspired awe in all beings.

Once one reached this realm, a subtle pressure would naturally emanate. Of course, with careful effort and intent concealment, it was possible to fully appear mundane and undetectable to others.

“It’s truly time to leave,” Ye Fan murmured, implying their separation.

That day, they drank an immeasurable amount of wine; the jars nearly piled into a small mountain. Little Nannan sat obediently beside them, chin resting in her hands, watching them drink heartily.

“Brothers for life!”

“The starry sky cannot sever our brotherhood! When we meet again, we will reunite, see each other, and fight side by side!”

Li Tian, Yan Yixi, and Ye Fan drank until their breaths reeked of alcohol, yet they remained sober. The moment of departure had finally arrived.

Ye Fan set off, taking Ye Tong, Little Nannan, and the Divine Child with him. He cast one last glance back before heading towards the outer regions.

“Nannan, we are good friends, friends for life. Remember to visit me. When I grow up, I’ll come find you too,” Little Grass sobbed.

“Big sister, I’ll remember you—I’ll never forget! I’ll come find you…” Little Nannan’s tender voice drifted down from high above, gradually fading and disappearing.

Yi Qingwu was no longer in the Ziwei starfield, having embarked on the ancient starry road. Even so, Li Tian and Yan Yixi could still find connections to send Little Grass into that sect.

Upon reaching the outer regions, Ye Fan’s body trembled, and a trickle of blood, golden with crimson streaks, escaped from the corner of his mouth. Ye Tong was immediately alarmed, crying out, “Master, what’s wrong?”

Little Nannan had already anxiously clutched Ye Fan’s clothes, her face filled with fear, even terror.

“It’s nothing, just a minor Dao injury,” Ye Fan said calmly. “I didn’t expect it to cling like a plaster, following me from the Saint King realm into the Great Saint realm. But it doesn’t significantly affect my combat power.”

“Really?” Little Nannan asked, tilting her head with concern.

Ye Fan gently tapped her adorable little nose and said, “Of course it’s true, rest assured.”

“Master, do you have any solution?” Ye Tong asked, harboring some hidden worries.

“You can rest easy; I will completely cure it,” Ye Fan said lightly.

“Brother will be fine. Nannan will heal big brother’s injury,” the little one said very seriously.

In the starry sky, Ye Tong seemed hesitant. Seeing this, Ye Fan asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Master, I want to embark on the ancient trial path of the strongest to temper myself,” Ye Tong said.

Ye Fan nodded and said, “It’s good that you have this idea.” He naturally supported his disciple’s decision; though it was a perilous path, it truly tempered a person.

Having experienced so much on Beidou, it was time for Ye Tong to try some different paths.

“I’ll take you there,” Ye Fan said.

Along the way, Ye Fan had asked Little Nannan how she came to the Ziwei starfield, but unfortunately, the little one was very confused and couldn’t recall anything even after thinking for a long time.

“The puppy almost died, and Nannan was very sad. Then, it seemed like she just flew up, getting farther and farther away, and after that, she doesn’t remember…” the little one whispered softly.

Ye Fan had heard about these events from the Big Black Dog; at that time, Little Nannan had seemed to ascend like an immortal, rising with a radiant glow, impossible to pursue.

Before the Human Race’s First Pass, many new faces waited, full of longing for the path ahead. Each was vibrant and brimming with confidence.

Just like Ye Fan’s group in the past, they had aspirations, ambitions, courage, and killing intent, but no one knew how many would survive.

“This is far enough,” Ye Fan said. He brought his disciple here, deciding not to offer any further help; Ye Tong would have to walk the path ahead by himself.

Ye Tong bowed deeply, bidding farewell to his master, saying, “I want to borrow the Human Race’s ancient road to go to another battlefield!”

He didn’t want to repeat Ye Fan’s path; instead, he wanted to forge his way onto other ancient roads, create his own world, and establish his own Dao.

Ye Fan naturally wouldn’t interfere, allowing him to venture forth freely. A fledgling eagle must possess the courage to strike the sky before it can spread its wings and soar.

“Oh, who was that person? Why did he come with a little girl, and then leave again?” someone whispered.

At the city gate, some soldiers looked puzzled, saying, “He looks familiar.”

“It’s the Immortal… Sacred Body!”

“What?!”

The place instantly erupted in commotion. The Human Sacred Body was renowned throughout the ancient road, causing all directions to tremble with fear, naturally drawing immense attention. He had left behind too many legends.

Unfortunately, with a flash of light, Ye Fan vanished directly. Standing on a divine light platform, he crossed the starry sky with Little Nannan, leaving behind a mysterious silhouette.

“Brother, where are we going?” Little Nannan asked.

“First, we’ll go back to Heaven’s Village. Many people there miss you very much,” Ye Fan smiled.

“Nannan is sick; she doesn’t remember some people, but her heart feels a lot of reluctance, so she must be missing them,” the little one whispered softly.

Ye Fan took action to heal her, touching her forehead, causing it to glow dazzlingly. Little Nannan’s entire body shimmered with radiant light, like a jade doll.

Soon after, they returned to the Beidou starfield. As they approached, they heard shocking news.

“The Immortal Ascension Road has opened!”

“After waiting for eons, this day has finally arrived; the Immortal Road has appeared!”

People went mad!
