Bang! The Lord of Samsara struck out with a palm towards Ye Fan's head, colliding with the Fist of the Great Accomplishment Holy Body. A brilliant light erupted, as if the apocalypse had arrived, with countless stars igniting and then exploding simultaneously.
They moved with the light, their speed reaching the absolute limit of this world. During their collision, the river of time itself paused, threatening to flow backward.
In a battle of primordial spirits, Ye Fan was far too inferior. He lacked the corresponding Imperial Dao laws; if he dared to fight that way, he would be instantly killed!
Now, he had created an excellent situation. By getting close, physical combat was his greatest advantage. Naturally, he wouldn't give it up and fought with all his might.
Leaving behind an afterimage, Ye Fan spun his leg, sweeping it towards the Lord of Samsara. It was like a galaxy coiling forth, the resulting boundless shockwaves causing the star field ahead to collapse!
However, the Samsara Sovereign vanished in an instant. Then, Ye Fan felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Several bloody gashes appeared there, with strips of muscle torn away, leaving him drenched in blood.
Boom! The Lord of Samsara was simply too powerful. As he turned, the star field was torn apart, affecting another sea of stars, causing many large stars to explode.
As a Sovereign with an Imperial Body, his combat talent was overwhelmingly strong. Even though Ye Fan was occupying the body of the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, renowned for close-quarters combat throughout the universe, he couldn't gain an advantage.
"Pfft!" Blood oozed from Ye Fan's chest, several bones nearly broken. Evidently, the Samsara Sovereign had aimed for his heart.
"Kid, to think you'd get hold of a body like this, but do you really believe you can fight a Sovereign with it? You're far from it!" the Samsara Sovereign said coldly.
Ye Fan remained silent; it was a fact. Emperors and Sovereigns, in their youth, were no weaker than him, and then they endured countless bloody battles, rising triumphantly to become Great Emperors!
Ye Fan was strong, and at this moment, he also possessed a body capable of challenging a Great Emperor. However, overall, the gap remained significant.
The Samsara Sovereign's ability to achieve Dao status was proof enough that he was an extraordinary figure in his youth. The bloody battles he had experienced throughout his life far surpassed Ye Fan's, not to mention his experiences at the Quasi-Emperor and Great Emperor levels.
Ye Fan, with his peerless natural talent, suffered a major setback at this moment, his body drenched in blood. This wasn't a humanoid lightning bolt of the same level from a lightning tribulation; this was a true Imperial Dao figure he encountered after forcibly elevating himself.
However, even as holy blood splattered, Ye Fan quickly stabilized some of his disadvantages. Disregarding the consequences, ready to perish together, he lunged forward.
"Pfft!" Ye Fan's palm struck out, like a galaxy exploding. He left his left ribcage exposed to his opponent while directly attacking the opponent's Celestial Platform. He fought desperately, regardless of the cost!
Unsurprisingly, Ye Fan's abdomen, mighty as the Holy Body, was ripped open, spraying bright red blood. However, his attack also nearly landed on the opponent's Celestial Platform, grazing their face and sending flesh and blood flying.
The Samsara Sovereign let out a cold snort. His cheekbone was exposed, bloody, giving his expression a ferocious and terrifying appearance.
"I can crush millions of bugs like you with a single foot. You're just an ant. Do you think you can defy the heavens by borrowing a body?" the Lord of Samsara said chillingly, not taking Ye Fan seriously in the slightest.
"Beast, don't overestimate yourself!" Ye Fan rarely swore, but facing several ancient Sovereigns, it was as if a fire burned in his chest.
Ye Fan unleashed all his skills, wielding the Heavenly Emperor Fist. This was his most powerful physical attack, shattering the universe, destroying galaxies one after another.
Even at the edge of the star field, under this immense fist intent, all the stars in the heavens seemed to deviate from their original orbits, trembling with his movements.
"You have some skill; you are a special ant. But I've killed more geniuses than you've ever seen people! As long as you don't become an Emperor, an unrisen prodigy is nothing. There have been too many evildoers throughout history, but ninety-nine percent of them have died!"
The Samsara Sovereign sneered cruelly, pressing forward, directly engaging Ye Fan in physical combat. This was a stance of superiority over all living beings, looking down on the primeval universe through all ages.
Boom! However, he underestimated Ye Fan's determination and combat power, as well as his indomitable and life-sacrificing fighting spirit. Even if it meant being drenched in blood on the spot, he was determined to heavily wound his opponent.
He would rather be half-crippled than not tear a piece of flesh from his opponent, disregarding his own life!
The Heavenly Emperor Fist erupted, appearing repeatedly, its trajectory profound and unpredictable. Wielding the power of the Great Accomplishment Holy Body to attack the Sovereign, he pushed this forbidden fist technique to its absolute limit.
Unparalleled divine power! The universe cracked, the sea of stars dimmed; everything would be shattered, anything in the way would be annihilated, as if a true Heavenly Emperor had revived!
"Pfft!" This time, the Great Accomplishment Holy Body's fist plunged into the palm of the Lord of Samsara, who had arrived later but reacted faster. The Sovereign's combat awareness was too powerful, terrifyingly so.
However, Ye Fan wasn't relying on skill this time. He used brute force, his vital blood boiling and burning fiercely throughout his body.
Boom! His clutched fist, almost crystalline, emitted flames that scorched the universe and shattered star fields. Ye Fan's fist nearly exploded, but the Lord of Samsara's palm was also shattered.
With a world-shattering explosion, the two separated, both having their right hands destroyed.
"Are you trying to act like a Heavenly Emperor? You're not one, not by a long shot!" Ye Fan scoffed.
The Lord of Samsara's expression was grim. He raised his hand simultaneously with Ye Fan, pointing at his opponent from a distance. Then, vital blood surged, repairing his palm.
Ye Fan was glad to engage in a physical contest. His initial goal had been achieved; he wouldn't feel wronged dying now, having wounded an ancient Sovereign and made him pay with his most precious vital blood.
Although the Lord of Samsara said nothing, to him, it was an absolute humiliation. To have his physical palm destroyed by an ant in his eyes, and to be mocked like this, was certainly an insult.
"Be careful, don't stumble in a shallow ditch!" The Sovereign of Light and Darkness warned.
"Crushing a genius with a single hand, there are no miracles before me!" said the Lord of Samsara, his face grim, as he pressed forward.
He preferred to meet force with force, and to fight in close combat. This was the pride of a Sovereign, looking down on all beings. Ye Fan was naturally happy to oblige, hoping to use this body to fight for a while longer and gain more of the Sovereign's vital blood.
Of course, this was a matter of degree. If Ye Fan were to suffer an accident during this process, then the things left behind by Emperor Wushi would be difficult to utilize.
Blood splattered. At first, Ye Fan could only land a hit on his opponent once every dozens of desperate strikes, while the Samsara Sovereign constantly made him bleed.
But later, Ye Fan's achievements in battle rapidly improved. In just over ten strikes, he could make his opponent bleed!
Compared to Ye Fan's past achievements in duels with others, there was no doubt he still felt frustrated. However, considering that this was a Sovereign who had once ascended from this very realm, whose combat skills had long reached their peak and were truly miraculous, achieving such results was already defying the heavens!
There was no other reason, other than that his opponent was a Sovereign who had long ago achieved Dao status!
Even if an ordinary person were given ten Imperial Bodies, fused against the heavens into one, they would still meet a regrettable end against a true Sovereign, only capable of sacrificing themselves.
It could only be said that Ye Fan's combat awareness defied the heavens. He progressed rapidly in this desperate situation. In his duel with the Sovereign, he discovered another realm.
This struggle was no longer about secret techniques or combat skills, but about experience, life, will, courage, decisiveness, and many other aspects, elevating the battle to its peak, transcending art and Dao!
Undoubtedly, in normal times, this would be an extremely rare, heaven-defying opportunity, seen only once in eternity, and cultivators across the world would go mad, hoping for such a chance.
However, in this current bloody catastrophe of the apocalypse, Ye Fan could perish at any moment. There was nothing to be joyful about; he would rather never have experienced any of this today, or for the apocalypse to never have arrived.
As the battle intensified to a frenzy, Ye Fan saw another realm. His world was suddenly magnified many times over. This wasn't a humanoid lightning bolt of the same realm, but a true Imperial Dao Sovereign. His combat techniques were rapidly improving, like an immortal sword being honed.
Ye Fan was covered in blood, but facing this unprecedented close-quarters combat with such a vast difference in realms, the benefits he gained were immense. He had almost achieved a divine state.
He felt that if he could survive, his path of close-quarters combat would slowly become unrivaled in the world!
Several of Ye Fan's ribs were broken, crushed by the Samsara Sovereign, who held them, making crunching sounds, bloody, appearing ferocious and terrifying.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan also tore off a piece of the Samsara Sovereign's flesh, stomped it into bloody mud, spat, cold lightning flashing in his eyes, and charged forward again.
This was a tragic and bloody battle. Ye Fan found his own combat domain, as well as his powerful innate combat awareness, becoming increasingly courageous and formidable.
Boom! The two crashed together. With a soft pop, Ye Fan's heart was ripped out by the Lord of Samsara and instantly crushed, a truly horrific sight!
Furthermore, his spine was struck by a palm blade, almost cutting him in half, leaving his upper and lower body almost completely separated, blood splattering across the universe.
Despite paying such a heavy price, Ye Fan gained another immense reward. He was willing to exchange this grievous cost for it: he broke off one of the Lord of Samsara's forearms.
Relentlessly, enduring all sorts of pain, he forcefully broke off the Lord's left forearm. Blood gushed out, drenching him completely, making him appear drenched in blood.
The Lord of Samsara finally let out a roar of fury. This was truly not worth it. To be severely wounded like this by an ant, he felt it was an insult.
A massive explosion erupted between the two. Both were sent flying backward. Ye Fan used the 'Zhe' character secret art to heal his injuries.
"Don't waste time on a mere insect," the Stone Emperor reminded the Lord of Samsara. He frowned, finding it hard to watch. The Lord of Samsara clearly possessed immense power, yet insisted on physical combat, which greatly displeased the Stone Emperor.
The Lord of Samsara stepped forward. His forehead bone gleamed with light, and endless chains of divine order flew from his body, like immortal golden chains, piercing through all directions and sweeping directly towards Ye Fan.
Especially the most powerful Imperial Dao laws, which lunged towards Ye Fan's Celestial Platform, aiming to kill his primordial spirit and erase him from his very source.
"Ant, I'll just crush you with one foot. I have no time for you!" So said the Lord of Samsara, and so he did. A giant foot descended, bringing with it endless laws, stomping towards Ye Fan's body.
Boom! At this moment, not only did the Green Bronze Cauldron glow, but within Ye Fan's Celestial Platform, the golden immortal robe also shone dazzlingly bright, emitting Great Emperor ripples, protecting his head and blocking the assault.
He knew that with two Emperor artifacts present, his defenses would not be breached in a short time, no matter what.
At the same time, a treasure vase appeared in his hand. The blood inside was dazzlingly bright. Once the stopper was removed, it caused the entire universe to tremble violently, as if the eternal blue sky itself was about to be ground into dust.
It was too terrifying. The blood contained endless fragments of the Great Dao, as if it would bring about the end of the world, directly severing all the Dao principles in the starry sky, and turning everything into powder.
However, the Stone Emperor, the Lord of the Divine Ruins, and the Sovereign of Light and Darkness all radiated surging divine light. They showed no trace of worry. Instead, their eyes glowed with hope and fervor as they all looked on.
"Blood containing Imperial Dao laws, you intend to use it against us, hahaha..." The Lord of Samsara laughed loudly, then abruptly stopped, and said chillingly, "This is the very blood that flows within us. To us, it's merely 'sweet dew,' capable of nourishing our life essence!"
However, no sooner had he finished speaking, dozens of drops of this blood automatically flew out, sprinkling onto the array platform beneath Ye Fan's feet, directly opening up the void, and a portal appeared!
The Stone Emperor was shaken and swung his great halberd. But it was useless; a supreme law had fixed this place in position. As the Black Emperor had speculated, it was impenetrable, and Ye Fan needed only to stand on this array platform!
Brilliant light erupted, surging forth with immense power. The great battle was about to intensify even further!
