Chapter 1751: 除名一禁区

A river appeared, flowing slowly at first, then becoming turbulent, surging and roaring as it rushed towards Ye Fan.

The River of Time!

This was not a true river but a manifestation of a fundamental law, carrying the pervasive aura of flowing years, thundering like ten thousand storms.

The Carefree Celestial Venerable fought with all his might; he could only unleash one final strike. This was the most brilliant moment of his life, reaching peak power with unparalleled attack might.

A blinding radiance engulfed the universe, obscuring everything. Time, like a blade, sought to sever the proud and mighty. At this moment, the Carefree Celestial Venerable used the River of Time to cut down not only Ye Fan but also himself, and the entire universe.

He intended to use the River of Time to destroy this place, to tear a path through the universe, connecting to another realm for one final, heaven-defying gamble.

An earth-shattering collision ensued, shrouding the area in layers of mist, as immortal rivers crashed and chaos surged.

When all subsided, the Carefree Celestial Venerable stumbled, covered in blood, his precious bottle shattered. Ten thousand lamentations echoed through heaven and earth, and the landscape was utterly desolate and ruined.

In the end, he had failed. He had pioneered the "Movement" secret art and stepped into the domain of time, but ultimately, he was defeated by this very law, cut down by time itself.

His final strike had been unleashed, harming his enemy, rending the sky, and also severing himself!

Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor projection was obliterated, struck by the River of Time, turning into withered bones in place of his true body. His Chaos Furnace also decayed, and his true body was sent flying, his Primordial Qi Cauldron shattering into pieces.

Ye Fan coughed up mouthfuls of blood. He had evaded the temporal severing, but he could not escape the fluctuations of that peerless divine power, suffering extremely severe injuries.

His entire body was covered in blood, but he too had just unleashed his most powerful strike, causing all laws to explode and surge into the opponent's body.

Ye Fan knew that the Carefree Celestial Venerable would not survive. Whether it was the temporal severing or the chaotic impact of myriad laws, his primordial spirit had been gravely wounded, and he was now extremely aged, lacking the vitality to defy fate.

"Hehe, haha..."

The Carefree Celestial Venerable looked up and laughed, his expression complex, his emotions inscrutable. His glabella had already split open, and blood trickled down. At that moment, the River of Time recoiled and slammed into him.

He became incredibly aged, his flesh and blood withered, turning into white bones as time ground him away. He then exploded into cosmic dust.

A person who studied time ultimately perished within his own domain.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth roared. All laws had nearly been severed, turning the place into a cursed land. All stars had been reduced to dust; nothing remained except for Ye Fan and his weapon.

This battle concluded in a way that left onlookers awestruck and speechless.

A Celestial Venerable of an era had fallen, turning into smoke, once again proving to the world the ruthlessness of time: even the greatest Supremes eventually meet their end.

Ye Fan stood alone in the cosmos, absorbing divine power storms from all directions to heal himself. He had suffered severe injuries, but they did not endanger his fundamental life force, allowing him to recover.

A Celestial Venerable had died, struck down by Ye Fan in the cosmos. This was a monumental event with far-reaching consequences!

After a period of stunned silence, the cosmos everywhere erupted. Ye Fan had defied and defeated a Celestial Venerable, creating an immortal legend that shook the Ten Desolations.

The cosmos was no longer peaceful, sparking a massive upheaval that reverberated through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. An invincible powerhouse had shone forth with dazzling brilliance, illuminating all of history.

Ye Fan collected the shattered fragments of the Immortal Tear Green Gold Bottle and a withered branch, then vanished from the area, reappearing in other ancient regions. He began to frantically absorb vital essence to heal himself.

Through formations and their core arrays, cultivators observing him from across numerous star domains trembled and shouted aloud.

Attacking Forbidden Zones was unthinkable in the past, but after this battle, the world trembled. Ye Fan's actions had overturned common perceptions.

This... felt as if they had returned to the glorious Ancient Era, a time when heroes emerged in droves!

The beings in the Forbidden Zones fell silent. Ye Fan's rise, first slaying the Hegemon Body, then cutting down the Carefree Celestial Venerable, showcased such formidable power that it inspired nothing but dread.

This was a battle record that terrified them. A Supreme who had sublimated still lost. Every one of them considered their own fate: how would they protect themselves if they one day faced the Sacred Body?

Living in such an era made the beings in the Forbidden Zones deeply uncomfortable!

Their lives were threatened. As beings of their stature, when had they ever pondered their own safety because of one person? This was infuriating.

In a void, Ye Fan sat in meditation for several days, finally recovering. He had not sustained destructive injuries, and with his current vitality, healing severe wounds was not a major challenge.

When Ye Fan opened his eyes again, lightning sparked in the void, and the universe trembled because of him. From this battle, he had gained profound insights, understanding the terrifying might of a flawless Great Emperor.

"What he said was not without reason," Ye Fan mused. "When a single technique reaches its apex, it can become unrivaled. Focusing on mastering one domain will eventually allow one to transcend the Nine Heavens."

Ye Fan murmured to himself. The opponent's journey from the "Movement" secret art into the temporal domain, reaching unparalleled heights, had greatly shaken him. He, however, cultivated multiple techniques, desiring to master them all to their absolute peak, which was far from easy.

Yet, everyone's path was different. He would not waver; he understood his own Dao and would continue steadfastly upon it.

Days later, Ye Fan returned to the Big Dipper, causing a great stir upon his reappearance. He was back; did he intend to enter a Forbidden Zone again and battle an ancient Supreme?

Everyone was dumbfounded, their gazes filled with disbelief.

As for the major Forbidden Zones, the atmosphere was tense. Cold gazes watched silently. If Ye Fan truly became too overbearing, they would naturally have to emerge and fight.

Finally, Ye Fan entered the vast desolate land where the Sea of Reincarnation once stood. Only the mountain gate entrance remained; the actual sea was gone, leveled to the ground.

"After this day, there will be no more Sea of Reincarnation in this world!" Ye Fan's voice resonated, shaking the vast land.

With a sweep of his hand, he reduced the area to dust, ensuring that the Sea of Reincarnation, this Forbidden Zone, was completely transformed into historical smoke, a thing of the past, never to be seen again.

It was then that the world truly learned: with the death of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, the Sea of Reincarnation was annihilated, with no one left within.

"A Forbidden Zone just... vanished like that?!" The whole world was stunned. Eradicating a Supreme was shocking, but leveling an entire Forbidden Zone was even more terrifying.

An unprecedented feat in ancient times!

"Heavens, one of the seven great Forbidden Zones is now gone, leveled forever! The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, Ye Fan, is truly defying the heavens!"

The world was in an uproar, and the news spread across all regions. This was an unimaginably glorious feat; the termination of a Forbidden Zone had truly immense implications.

People knew this wasn't solely Ye Fan's achievement. In the Ancient Era, the Void Great Emperor battled across various locations, entering the Sea of Reincarnation more than once and personally slaying one or two of its inhabitants.

Furthermore, during the Dark Turmoil three hundred years ago, a Supreme from the Sea of Reincarnation also perished. It was these successive falls over the past hundred thousand years that made it possible for Ye Fan to level the area.

It could be said that leveling a Forbidden Zone was not something a single generation could achieve; it was the result of the combined efforts of ancient Great Emperors!

This brought hope. The Dark Turmoil was terrifying, but if the remaining Forbidden Zones also only contained one or two individuals, then it was highly probable they could be leveled one by one in the future.

Just like this time, the Sea of Reincarnation had vanished, truly never to reappear on the Buried Emperor Star!

"How many heroes are buried in the Forbidden Zones? How many champions shed their blood in the ancient lands? We hope they can finally be leveled!" This was the wish of many.

Ye Fan circled the Big Dipper. The remaining Forbidden Zones remained silent, and all the descendants of the Forbidden Zones who had been active outside fled back to their homes, never daring to show themselves again.

Not long ago, they had intended to slaughter the Heavenly Court and destroy Ye Fan's lineage, but now they were utterly subdued, daring not to face him and only avoiding him from afar.

Ye Fan restrained his aura and walked across the land, traversing every vast wilderness, seeking old memories. It was a pity that while the magnificent lands were preserved, figures like Gai Jiuyou and the White-Robed Divine King could never return.

Ye Fan felt sorrowful, silently paying respects at some old places. Unable to find their remains, he could only reminisce in the places they once frequented.

"Brother Ye..." The Saintess of the Jade Lake appeared, her peerless face showing a complex expression, inviting him into the Jade Lake. Once, they were rivals of the same generation, but now, he was a mythical figure capable of battling Supremes.

Ye Fan nodded and entered the Jade Lake, wanting to see the Stone King. By his reckoning, the divine embryo should emerge within five thousand years.

By now, he no longer feared the woman within. Whether she was good or evil, having reached the realm of a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, Ye Fan was confident he could suppress her.

"Hmm, will she become a Female Celestial Venerable in the future?!" Ye Fan stared at the Nine-Aperture Divine Embryo. Inside the crystalline strange stone, a woman sat with closed eyes, showing some apprehension at his arrival, her body trembling slightly.

"I hope to fight alongside you in the future," a divine thought emanated from within the stone, serving as a response.

Ye Fan smiled, nodded, and said nothing.

News of Ye Fan entering the Jade Lake spread throughout the Big Dipper, causing the Eastern Barren Lands to erupt. Many major powers were stirred, and the masters of various sects all set out, wishing to enter the Jade Lake to pay homage.

On this day, an unknown number of people arrived. The Jade Lake's mountain gate was almost overwhelmed, and many, if not permitted entry, simply sat outside the gate, unwilling to leave.

"Please allow us to pay our respects to the Lord of the Heavenly Court."

Everyone yearned to meet the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, even those who had existed in the same generation as Ye Fan.

The people of the Jade Lake were in a difficult position. Ye Fan's status was now vastly different, comparable in stature to ancient Great Emperors. He was not someone to be casually met, and they feared offending the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

Ye Fan sighed. Time had changed so much. Once, the Saintess of the Jade Lake could joke with him, but now it was like this.

It wasn't just the peerless Saintess; everyone else was the same, filled with trepidation, holding him in the utmost awe, daring not to even breathe heavily in his presence.

This was not the outcome he desired, but it was unchangeable. The stature of an ancient Great Emperor was something all could only look up to, not dare to profane.

Ye Fan met with everyone and, furthermore, expounded on scriptures for three days, answering questions for the crowd, discussing cultivation methods, and elucidating the true meaning of the Great Dao.

During this time, many more people arrived from outside the domain. Learning he was lecturing there, numerous powerhouses came with a pilgrim's heart.

Ye Fan saw some familiar faces: Prince Xia Yiming of Great Xia, the little nun in white, and a young girl who closely resembled Princess Yudie. Upon asking, he learned she was the "porcelain doll" he had met years ago, Princess Yudie's child.

"My mother passed away during the Dark Turmoil..." she said, tears welling up.

Hearing this, Ye Fan sighed softly.

Ye Fan sat on the Dao platform, lecturing. Scriptures filled the sky, raining down as vast swathes of light, deeply affecting everyone and sending them into a state of enlightenment.

In the crowd, Feng Huang's expression was complex. She was also listening below, but knew this realm was unattainable in her lifetime, and could only sigh softly.
