Chapter 171: Bridal Chamber

The Yao Guang Saintess let out a shriek. She was bitten by snow-white teeth, which caused not only pain but also immense humiliation. Her divine consciousness immediately became unstable, and the radiance at her glabella dimmed slightly.

Ye Fan's divine consciousness, like a sword, transformed into a golden beam. It slashed towards the Yao Guang Saintess's sea of consciousness. At the same time, he forcefully suppressed her physical body to prevent himself from being shaken off.

A diamond-shaped mark appeared between the Yao Guang Saintess's eyebrows. Like a celestial flower emerging from water, it emitted streams of auspicious light, blocking the golden beam.

This surprised Ye Fan. The Yao Guang Saintess's divine consciousness was far stronger than he had anticipated, almost on par with his own.

He focused his spiritual power and activated the energy of his sea of consciousness. His golden small lake rippled and surged, continuously releasing golden energy. Like waves, this energy condensed into swords in the void, rushing towards the diamond-shaped mark.

Their bodies were entangled, allowing them to feel each other's warmth. Beneath him, the Yao Guang Saintess felt like warm jade; her soft, slender immortal body constantly emitted rays of light, nearly throwing Ye Fan off several times.

Ye Fan held the advantage in terms of divine consciousness origin power. Although the Yao Guang Saintess was powerful, she couldn't compare to him. His golden lake was as deep as an abyss, continuously releasing mental energy, first like a trickle, then like a surging river.

The Yao Guang Saintess's face turned pale, and her exquisite features showed complete astonishment. The diamond-shaped mark on her forehead slowly faded, gradually being suppressed.

At this moment, she decided to take a gamble. She momentarily reined in her thoughts, and divine power surged within her. A deity burst forth from her Dao Palace, preparing to attack Ye Fan.

This momentary distraction made her even more passive on the battlefield of divine consciousness. Ye Fan almost directly broke into her sea of consciousness, causing her body to tremble.

The golden beam advanced rapidly. The Yao Guang Saintess was shaken to her core and let out a soft cry. Rainbow light swirled within her sea of consciousness, and the diamond-shaped mark re-emerged with renewed brilliance.

Meanwhile, the deity that had emerged from her Dao Palace became fully clear. It took a step forward, completely covered in shimmering silver metal armor, radiating light, like a goddess descended to the mortal realm.

Her black hair and ice-like skin, set against the silver armor, gave her an indescribable aura. She possessed both the allure of a sorceress and the sanctity of a goddess; these two contrasting temperaments intertwined, offering different impressions depending on the viewing angle.

She looked identical to the Yao Guang Saintess, but at this moment, she appeared somewhat dazed. Her eyes, though beautiful, lacked a certain spark.

Indeed, the true Yao Guang Saintess was locked in battle with Ye Fan. The deity manifested from her Dao Palace had no spiritual guidance, thus it merely stood there silently. "Cut!"

The Yao Guang Saintess let out a soft cry, taking a great risk. She forcibly separated a wisp of her divine consciousness and infused it into the deity.

At this moment, Ye Fan's divine consciousness flared up like burning flames. It surged forward, directly dimming the diamond-shaped mark. In just a brief instant, he pushed to the "door" of the Yao Guang Saintess's sea of consciousness, on the verge of breaking in.

Simultaneously, the deity's black hair billowed, and her silver armor shone brightly. Her exquisite features suddenly came alive, and sparks of spiritual energy overflowed from her eyes. However, her movements remained somewhat rigid, as her physical potential had not fully awakened. Clang!

She drew the divine sword that hung from her slender waist, holding it in her hand. It shone as brightly as autumn water. She raised it high, like a goddess descended to the mortal realm, seemingly intent on slaying demons and vanquishing evil, radiating a holy glow. Swish! The deity swung her sword down, heavily chopping towards Ye Fan, intending to cut him in half.

At the same time, Ye Fan's divine consciousness finally broke into the Yao Guang Saintess's sea of consciousness, casting faint specks of light within.

Both were resolute. The Yao Guang Saintess wanted to shatter his physical body and obliterate his form, thereby killing him. Ye Fan, in turn, aimed to crush her sea of consciousness, destroy her divine consciousness, and shatter her soul, thus annihilating her. Clang! The radiating divine sword descended with bone-chilling coldness.

Ye Fan's senses were sharp. He quickly rolled away with the Yao Guang Saintess in his arms. The sword strike directly cleaved a ten-meter-deep chasm in the grassy ground. One could imagine the terror of that sword; if it had struck their bodies, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He firmly bit the Yao Guang Saintess's crystal-like ear, refusing to let go. Entangled, they rolled for more than ten meters.

The only fortunate thing was that this deity's movements were slow, as only a wisp of divine consciousness controlled it, preventing it from unleashing its full divine power. "Ah…" The Yao Guang Saintess cried out in alarm. Her sea of consciousness had been breached, and golden beams, like a surging river, penetrated deep within.

Ye Fan activated his strongest mental power, intending to shatter the Yao Guang Saintess's spiritual consciousness and render the external deity a rootless flower.

This was a sacred world within the sea of consciousness, with clouds surging. The Yao Guang Saintess stood gracefully ahead.

In this mental world, time seemed to stand still; its passage was imperceptible. The Yao Guang Saintess feigned composure, saying, "I never imagined your divine consciousness would be so powerful…" Ye Fan had no time to waste; there was a killing deity outside, so he directly charged forward.

"Little Brother Ye, you cannot kill me." The Yao Guang Saintess's expression turned cold. She quickly retreated, appearing high in the sky of the mental world. Golden beams shot upwards, pressing closer, reaching her in an instant.

"My divine consciousness is my strongest weapon," the Yao Guang Saintess said as she flew away. "I never imagined your sea of consciousness would be even more terrifying than mine." Ye Fan did not reply. His golden divine consciousness transformed into a large hand and slapped forward with a "bang."

Poof! The Yao Guang Saintess's immortal body instantly blurred, suffering injury. She moved even faster, directly disappearing into the depths of the mental sea. Clang, clang, clang!

The golden beams transformed into hundreds of sword lights, shooting forth like a meteor shower, aiming to shatter the Yao Guang Saintess.

Whoosh! Just then, the exquisite figure vanished into the depths of the clouds. At the same time, Ye Fan felt a sense of danger. Above the mental sea, ethereal clouds drifted, and a colossal palace emerged, pressing down on him with immense power, like a star field, impossible to resist.

"What is this?" Ye Fan was greatly alarmed. The opponent was clearly not as strong as him in divine consciousness, so how could she unleash such terrifying power? The Yao Guang Saintess's soft laughter drifted over. She stood within the enormous palace, like a fairy from the Jade Pool, surrounded by swirling clouds. "Little Brother Ye, no matter how cunning you are, today you will meet your bitter end. Don't worry, I will bury you properly."

Ye Fan retreated with all his might, but found he couldn't escape this space. The colossal palace had completely sealed it off.

"Why is this happening?" He was truly shocked. He asked, "How can there be a palace in your sea of consciousness?"

The palace in the sky, like the Guanghan Palace, was enveloped in moonlight, hazy and ethereal. It accentuated the Yao Guang Saintess's elegant and extraordinary beauty, making her indescribably lovely.

"This is a secret treasure I found in an abandoned ancient cave in the Yao Guang Holy Land during my youth. It's called the 'Moon Palace,' and its full power is immeasurable." The Yao Guang Saintess's manifested divine consciousness, indistinguishable from her true form—with skin like snow and delicate, flawless cheeks—said, "From the moment I obtained it, it integrated into my glabella. Over the past decade or so, it has nurtured my divine consciousness to an exceedingly powerful state. I never expected to encounter you today and be suppressed by your divine consciousness; it truly surprises me."

"The Moon Palace… fixed within your glabella, capable of nurturing your divine consciousness?" Ye Fan was horrified inwardly; this was undoubtedly a treasure.

"Therefore, your death will not be in vain. I shall send Little Brother Ye on his way." The Yao Guang Saintess shimmered with a holy light, yet when she smiled, she was captivating and enchanting, like a peerless beauty.

The Moon Palace truly resembled the Guanghan Palace, with watery moonlight spreading downwards. It slowly descended, and everything below was on the verge of ceasing to exist. Ye Fan's divine consciousness flickered like a candle flame, threatening to extinguish at any moment.

"Wait a moment!" Ye Fan shouted, "I say, beautiful lady of the Yao Guang Holy Land, I still don't know your name…" "Yao Xi!" The Yao Guang Saintess's red lips parted slightly, uttering these two words. However, she didn't stop; the colossal Moon Palace continued to press down heavily.

In this divine consciousness space, time seemed eternal, making it difficult to perceive its passage. Ye Fan was surprised inwardly, suspecting that this was all caused by the Moon Palace. He exerted all his strength, trying to break out.

Outside, the golden lake in his glabella suddenly dimmed, then transformed into a golden scorching sun and burst forth.

Swoosh! It instantly plunged into Yao Xi's glabella, causing the divine consciousness space to tremble violently. Crack!

The sealed space was torn open. Ye Fan's two divine consciousnesses merged, evading the Moon Palace that pressed down from the sky, and appeared in the distant void. The Yao Guang Saintess frowned, feeling great reluctance at having failed at the last step.

Ye Fan paused in the distant void, not retreating immediately. He suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "I understand! That Moon Palace can only rise and fall, fixing the surrounding area. You can't actually unleash it, no wonder you tried to lure me there!"

"Even so, what can you do?" Yao Xi sneered, appearing calm and composed. She said, "My divine consciousness controls the Moon Palace; you cannot do anything to me."

"Indeed." Ye Fan nodded, then laughed heartily, "I've trapped your divine consciousness here. I'll split off a wisp of my divine consciousness to perform the Heaven and Earth ritual with you. Let's see if you can remain calm then!"

"You…" The Yao Guang Saintess found it hard to remain calm.

"Here I go!" Ye Fan laughed loudly, splitting off a wisp of his spiritual thought. It flew away rapidly, saying, "Time to enter the bridal chamber!"

The Moon Palace was fixed in Yao Xi's glabella, where time was almost stagnant. When Ye Fan burst out, only an instant had passed in the outside world.

That wisp of spiritual thought returned to his glabella, and his physical body instantly regained consciousness. At this moment, he was still biting her delicate and beautiful ear, a fragrance like orchid and musk assailing his nostrils.

Swish! Not far away, the deity once again swung her sword. Ye Fan quickly leaped up, pulling the Yao Guang Saintess back. The deity was slow, but still posed a significant threat.

At this moment, he had trapped the Yao Guang Saintess's divine consciousness within her glabella, preventing her spiritual thoughts from escaping. Although her soft immortal body now surged with divine power, it could no longer threaten him.

"Yao Guang Saintess, if you don't come out, we're going into the bridal chamber right now," Ye Fan laughed.

Although his divine power was sealed, his physical body remained exceptionally robust, moving like the wind. The deity behind him could not keep up. Bang! Ye Fan forcefully swung a punch, striking the body he held, but failed to break it.

A star map actually appeared on the Yao Guang Saintess's body, like a deity's battle armor, radiating mysterious brilliance. He was greatly shocked, increasingly feeling that this woman was extraordinary. Boom!

Divine light erupted from Yao Xi's glabella. She struggled with all her might to break free, not wanting to be trapped inside; she genuinely feared Ye Fan's "recklessness."

Although her spiritual thoughts couldn't fully escape, she could perceive everything outside. A small amount of divine consciousness energy infused her body, and she immediately shrieked, "What are you doing?" "Measuring you up…" Ye Fan chuckled. "Bastard!"

Ye Fan held the Yao Guang Saintess in his arms and ran at extreme speed. The deity behind them moved slowly and was soon shaken off.

One of his arms was wrapped around Yao Xi's slender waist, feeling her delicate softness. His other hand moved haphazardly, and he teased, "Your body looks light, slender, and graceful, but I never imagined some places would be so full-bodied…"

"You…" The Yao Guang Saintess almost fainted from anger.

"Plump where it should be plump, slender where it should be slender – truly admirable! If I were to throw you into a crowd, I imagine many men would go wild for you…"

Ye Fan bit one of her earlobes and said, "If you want to deal with me, you better be prepared to pay the price."

Yao Xi's jade-like body shimmered faintly, soft and alluring. Her body fragrance was like orchid, her slender neck was as fair as jade and subtly glistening, and her beautiful hair brushed Ye Fan's face like a spring breeze.

"Ye Fan, I'm going to kill you!"

"You have two choices: either let me control your divine consciousness, or we enter the bridal chamber right now." Ye Fan laughed loudly, one hand wrapped around her slender waist, the other moving haphazardly, "Make your decision."
