Chapter 1771: Inevitable Battle

Chen Mi Book Friends Official YY: 2579

A friendly reminder to everyone: If you have any questions or suggestions, you can ask Dong Ge on Weibo; he will read them all.

Ye Fan held a divine crystal in his hand. Inside, a ball of fire was burning, from which a vigorous life force emanated. This was the supreme origin flame of a true Great Emperor.

He immediately entered seclusion, placing the flame into the Cauldron of Myriad Things Mother Qi to undergo hundreds, even thousands, of purifications, tempering and sublimating it with secret methods.

This was the essence of an Emperor, the very foundation of the Sky Heart Imprint, and it had to be refined no matter what. An hour later, Ye Fan reappeared, holding a ball of immortal flame in one hand. Its light made his palm translucent, with veins and blood vessels clearly visible.

Ye Fan guided this flame into Ye Tong's glabella. It burned away several runes, protecting his Sea of Consciousness and making it resplendent, before the flame merged into his disciple's flesh and blood.

“How is he, Master?” Yang Xi, Hua Hua, and the others watched anxiously.

“Ye Zi, you must save little Tong Tong!” Li Tian, Yan Yixi, and the others were filled with sorrow.

Ye Fan nodded but did not speak.

For several days straight, Ye Tong remained unconscious, having fallen into the deepest state of hibernation for self-preservation.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan also unleashed his supreme divine abilities. In the following days, a terrifying wave of Grand Dao divine principles surged across the universe, shaking all domains.

Everyone was aghast. People knew that Ye Fan was performing a spell, but it was terrifyingly powerful beyond compare. He hadn't fought with such desperation in seven hundred years, and they hadn't imagined his cultivation had become even more profound and world-shaking.

Finally, he departed silently, heading straight for Beidou and descending into the Primordial Restricted Zone.

Everyone's hearts pounded with fear. What was Ye Fan going to do? Was he so enraged by his disciple's impending demise that he intended to flatten the restricted zones?

Even the ancient venerables within the restricted zones were shaken. This was not an unreasonable conjecture, as he had "prior offenses" of this kind; he had already flattened Reincarnation Sea and Undying Mountain!

The world was astonished. However, after Ye Fan entered the Primordial Restricted Zone and approached the Primordial Ancient Mine, no great battle occurred.

Chaotic energy surged there, and auspicious light flowed from the mysterious ancient mine. It seemed to draw all the suns, moons, and stars from the sky into the divine mine, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

“You must know, by confronting us and forcibly borrowing immortal essence and Primordial Life Stones like this, you will pay a tenfold price someday!” a cold voice emanated.

“I'll be waiting,” Ye Fan said, walking out with a massive piece of immortal essence and a life stone that had been carved into the shape of a coffin. He flew directly towards Beidou.

Everyone was stunned, then they realized: Ye Fan had no choice but to seal his disciple with the immortal essence, preserving him until the calamity could be resolved in the future.

At the same time, people also perceived his formidable power: he dared to come to the Primordial Ancient Mine and take stones!

Indeed, it was true. Ye Fan used his supreme magic power to liquefy the immortal essence in order to seal Ye Tong.

“Senior Brother!”

“Ye Tong!”

Many cried out in sorrow, finding it difficult to accept this outcome.

At the last moment, the Golden Crow Great Emperor sent another ball of origin emperor flame. Ye Fan expressed his gratitude; after carefully refining it, he injected it into Ye Tong's body before sealing him.

A generation's prodigy was about to temporarily vanish from this world. The Heavenly Court was plunged into deep grief, lingering in an atmosphere of sorrow for many days.

This outcome, once spread to the outside world, caused a sensation. Everyone discussed it; some sighed, some rejoiced, some grieved, and some gloated. Their private reactions varied greatly.

Without a doubt, the Golden Crow Great Emperor's actions were commendable. The world believed he possessed great magnanimity and did not act narrowly due to past friction between the Golden Crow clan and the Heavenly Court. He truly embodied the demeanor of a Great Emperor, and many admired him and grew even more respectful.

Under the Demon Emperor's restraint, none of the powerhouses on Huosang Star gloated. Instead, their relationship with the Heavenly Court eased considerably, showing signs of reconciliation.

“The Golden Crow Great Emperor is truly worthy of being an enlightened one!”

Many sighed in praise.

The world was in turmoil, causing a great stir.

On a black cliff within Undying Mountain, Ye Fan stood at the forefront, gazing towards the horizon, silent for a long time.

“Master, are you confident in this battle?” Yang Xi asked softly from behind, his eyes gleaming.

“I have obscured the heavenly secrets two or three times,” Ye Fan said. “And they are many. They must have long since resolved to act and prepared themselves over the years.”

Just as he said, a battle was inevitable. With Ye Tong fallen, Ye Fan had lost his right-hand man, and the restricted zones, having prepared for years, would not let go of such an opportunity.

Yang Xi frowned and said, “The Golden Crow Great Emperor sending the emperor origin flame is a good thing for Senior Brother, but it also shattered the restricted zone Supremes' dream of seeing him fight you, Master. I suppose this is also why this battle started early.”

“Master...” From afar, Hua Hua flew over, looking anxious. He said, “Some restricted zone disciples have returned to Beidou. There are exclamations of surprise there; they seem to have made a great gain.”

His bald head was shiny, but his face was filled with worry. Some restricted zone disciples had been out for years, yet they had been completely unaware.

“Don't blame yourselves,” Ye Fan comforted him. “There are ancient venerables in the major restricted zones; it's easy for them to conceal heavenly secrets.”

“I hate it!” Hua Hua cried, beating his chest. “The great battle is coming, yet I haven't reached the Ninth Heaven, unable to lend Master a hand!” He hated himself for being lax and not working hard enough over the years. He had ample talent, but always found it difficult to fully commit to cultivation.

“Are you showing off, you brat?” Dongfang Ye, Li Tian, Pang Bo, Yan Yixi, and a group of others arrived.

Li Heishui directly slapped Hua Hua's bald head and said, “If you think your cultivation is low, then how should I feel?!”

“Senior Brother Ye Tong is immo...” Behind them, Xiao Song opened his mouth.

As these words were spoken, everyone on the cliff fell silent.

“Ye Zi, you're not planning on fighting alone again this time, are you?” Pang Bo asked. He was very strong, but it was still too early for him to fight ancient Supremes.

“Don't worry,” Ye Fan said with powerful conviction, “this time we will flatten at least one restricted life zone!”

Everyone was startled. Seeing him so confident, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, dispelling the gloom that had shrouded their hearts for many days.

“This time, let us attack the restricted zones,” someone said. “If we can't defeat the big ones, can't we at least catch the restricted zone's little brats?”

That day, the Heavenly Court as a whole vanished, disappearing from the vast star sea, leaving no trace.

The whole world was shocked!

People realized that something monumental was about to happen. Were they going to war with the ancient Supremes? Ye Fan had done this before, hiding all his heavenly soldiers and generals and unleashing a massacre on the path to immortality.

Everyone foresaw that a tremendous storm was approaching.

“Holy Body Ye Fan, are you so impatient?” a cold voice came from the direction of the Beidou Restricted Zone.

The heavens trembled, and everyone was terrified. People knew their bad premonitions had come true; the winds of change were stirring again, and a restricted zone war was truly about to erupt!

The Divine Ruins, Immortal Mausoleum, and others rumbled into motion. Supreme aura permeated the air, shaking the Beidou region and astonishing all like a surging ocean!

One could see an ancient beast raising its head in the Immortal Mausoleum. Resembling a divine lion, its body shimmering with crimson light, it emerged from a cracked great tomb, carrying an old woman in strange attire on its back.

This place was known as the Immortal Mausoleum, filled with massive, hill-like burial mounds. It was impossible to ascertain which era they belonged to or trace their origins.

Although they were massive tombs, immortal aura actually permeated the air after they cracked open. The crimson divine lion, shimmering with dazzling red light all over, carried the strangely dressed old woman with sparse white hair as it strode out, its aura striking fear into the world.

“The Immortal Mother has actually emerged from the Immortal Mausoleum! What a surprise, she's still alive!” someone from another restricted zone sighed.

“Everyone says the Immortal Mausoleum is the most mysterious. It might be the burial ground of various immortals from the Chaotic Ancient Era, predating the Age of Mythology. The Immortal Mother became an Emperor early in the Primordial Era and has long lived in seclusion, which makes her full of mystery.”

At the same time, in the Divine Ruins, vibrant immortal glow and myriad auspicious rays shone brightly. An ancient war chariot flew out, vast chaotic energy spreading forth. On the chariot sat a middle-aged man with black hair cascading over his shoulders, his vitality vigorous, and his eyes shining like searing lightning.

“It's the Spirit God!” someone exclaimed in surprise.

The Spirit God, also known as the Spirit Emperor of old, was a Sacred Spirit. However, he did not attain enlightenment as a stone man but instead transformed into a flesh and blood body from a wisp of primordial vital energy.

If the Dragon Horse knew, it would surely be startled, because they were of the same category: sprites born from the vital energy of heaven and earth. However, one had taken the form of a horse, and the other, a human.

The Spirit Emperor had been in seclusion in the Divine Ruins, sleeping continuously. Yet he showed no signs of aging; instead, he gave off a feeling of surging vitality. Upon his emergence, he immediately shocked the human world.

“A battle in the Mythical Battlefield!”

The war chariot rumbled, chaotic energy surged, and the Spirit Emperor spoke, then directly vanished from Beidou.

In the universe, Ye Fan did not say much. He simply took a step, hurrying towards the battlefield, because this battle was already unavoidable, and delaying was not a solution; the opponents were very likely to directly launch a dark turmoil.

The Mythical Battlefield was a vast expanse of stars. Emptiness and deathly silence were its eternal themes; there were hardly any intact stars here, all were shattered fragments.

Meteors were everywhere, as were star ruins. This part of the universe had long been devastated.

Most astonishingly, giant skeletons were occasionally seen here, sprawled across the eternal blue sky, always uncorrupted. However, their essence blood had long since completely drained away.

Their essence lost, only their forms remained.

Ye Fan remained silent. This place contained not only the remains of ancient ancestors from various races, but he also discovered remnants of the Holy Body. One could imagine how fierce the battles here must have been in the past.

Any one of these skeletons had an extraordinary origin, very likely belonging to the most powerful ancestors of a race. If they were brought out, they would absolutely cause a sensation in the human world, and tracing their origins would uncover one glorious legend after another.

Of course, this could not have been the result of just one battle; it was the cumulative result from the Age of Mythology to the present.

“Young man, you are very strong. In my memory, you are one of the strongest Holy Bodies in history, but you are also very arrogant!” the Spirit Emperor said.

“Alas,” the Immortal Mother sighed softly, “this old woman was once the focus of myriad eyes, revered by all in the universe. Looking back, it truly feels like a grand dream.” She then added, “At that time, I was unparalleled in grace, the most beautiful under heaven, and as vigorous as you, believing there was nothing this divine woman could not accomplish in this world.”

She showed a nostalgic expression, which made her seem incredibly strange as she spoke, because her skin was now slack, she was terribly old, and her teeth were almost all gone, making her very ugly.

“Ultimately, it was just a dream,” the Immortal Mother said, suddenly opening her murky old eyes and staring at Ye Fan. “Young man, you are quite astonishing, but unfortunately, you've come here, and you're about to die!”

“Who doesn't die eventually?” Ye Fan said.

“But your wife and daughter have become immortals!” another figure appeared, surrounding Ye Fan in the center.

“You all seem very confident,” Ye Fan said, now revealing a powerful and sharp killing intent. “Aren't you afraid of past tragedies repeating themselves?” In the past, he had single-handedly slain multiple Supremes.

“With so many things that have happened,” the fourth person said as they appeared, “if we weren't confident in killing you, would we even make a move?”

An ominous feeling arose in Ye Fan's heart. After the four gathered, it actually sent shivers down his spine; he sensed immense danger. In a trance, he seemed to see scenes of mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and even immortals lying dead.
