Chapter 314: Consecutively Slaying Experts from the Holy Land

Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. Gu Litian had enhanced his physique and combat power severalfold beyond his original level, making him feel extremely dangerous.

"In the past six months, I have torn five cultivators from the Four Extremities Realm to shreds," Gu Litian boasted. "You make me unleash the 'Dragon Transformation' divine body art. Even if you die, it will be enough for you to be proud."

After Gu Litian transformed into a human-shaped purple flood dragon, his entire being exuded a monstrous bestiality. He said menacingly, "I smell the scent of ancient sacred blood. I think I'll spare your life and imprison you forever, taking your sacred blood daily to refine my body."

"You speak too soon," Ye Fan said, fearless, as he directly launched his Mountain Embrace Seal.

A colossal mountain soared across the sky, a dark mass that blocked the sun, casting a vast shadow over the ground and exerting immense, incomparable pressure.

Gu Litian sneered. Extremely powerful, he didn't dodge at all. His right hand transformed into a purple flood dragon claw and clawed forward.

With a crack, the purple flood dragon claw plunged into the black mountain, tearing it apart. The massive black mountain disintegrated into numerous fragments that scattered in all directions.

He split the mountain with his bare hands, dissolving the Mountain Embrace Seal and instantly transforming it into an energy storm with swirling dark clouds.

Ye Fan frowned. The opponent's physical body was indeed incredibly formidable, capable of contending with him. "The scent of sacred blood intoxicates me..." After transforming into a human-shaped flood dragon, Gu Litian was terrifyingly powerful, surpassing even ordinary flood dragons by combining all the strengths of humans and flood dragons.

His only flaw was a significant increase in bestiality, threatening to overwhelm his humanity.

"You've willingly degenerated," Ye Fan shouted. "The human body holds infinite mysteries, yet instead of exploring them, you insist on transforming into this half-human, half-beast abomination. Today, I will show you what true peerless physical prowess means."

With a powerful shout, Ye Fan surged forward like a golden bolt of lightning. Even with his opponent's increased combat power, he remained utterly fearless.

His golden fists, imbued with streaks of lightning, were irresistible, causing the space before him to collapse as he instantly closed the distance.

"Buzz!"

The void, like a painting, was gripped by a large golden hand and violently shaken—a truly terrifying sight.

Ye Fan's physical strength was too immense; nothing could stop him. He was even on the verge of shattering the void's restraints and breaking free from the shackles of heaven and earth.

Finally, the golden fist clashed with Gu Litian's flood dragon claw, unleashing a blinding light that pierced the sky, a spectacle of gold and purple soaring upward.

It was like Taiji giving birth to two opposing forces, then colliding—like two volcanoes erupting simultaneously, filling the world with brilliant gold and vast purple, a dazzling display.

The ground silently disintegrated, leaving a massive crater. The two energies had pulverized a large section of the crimson earth into dust, making it vanish.

"ROAR!" Gu Litian roared like a wild beast, bursting out of the purple glow. He shook his legs like a flood dragon lashing its tail, pouncing towards Ye Fan, his eyes glinting with ferocity.

Ye Fan shook his head and said coldly, "You've lost yourself. What good is immense power if you're no different from a wild beast?"

"Thump!"

Ye Fan was direct and decisive. His golden fist swung out powerfully, striking the opponent's claws with a clang.

"Crack!"

The flood dragon claws, formed from his ten nails, were shattered inch by inch and fell off. Gu Litian cried out, all ten of his fingers bleeding.

Even though he had transformed into a half-human, half-dragon form and seemingly could contend with Ye Fan, his physical body was still insufficient. The intense pain suppressed his bestial side, allowing his consciousness to clear slightly.

"Is the Desolate Ancient Saint Body truly this terrifying?" He spat out a mouthful of purple blood, then his whole body surged with vital energy, purple light swirling around him like intensely burning flames, a dazzling sight.

Ye Fan stood in the void like a divine king, radiating golden light, even his dark hair shimmering with a golden hue, as he steadily advanced.

Gu Litian employed a secret technique to enhance his physical strength and combat power. His expression grew even more ferocious, his face covered in dragon scales, presenting a terrifying appearance.

"Nine Transformations of the Flood Dragon!"

He roared as his joints began to shift again, clicking incessantly. A chilling aura permeated the air. His body hunched over, his bones twisting like a dragon's, his body bending like a flood dragon's, before he suddenly shot forward.

Astonishing killing intent, a purple glow, shot into the sky. His body was grotesquely deformed, yet he had become even more powerful. With the Nine Transformations of the Flood Dragon, he had almost transformed into a true human-dragon.

The Nine Transformations of the Flood Dragon—shedding the flood dragon to become a true dragon! Gu Litian charged forward, his pair of large purple hands striking out, causing the void to tremble, dust to rise from the ground, everything becoming unstable as purple mist surged.

"Buzz!"

Ye Fan met force with force, strength with strength. His golden hand struck out, single-handedly breaking the sky and shaking the heavens.

"Bang!" "Bang!" After more than a dozen continuous powerful collisions, Ye Fan remained unmoving, standing in the sky, enveloped in golden light, while Gu Litian continuously coughed blood and retreated.

"Why? I clearly felt I could suppress you, yet why am I always at a disadvantage?" Gu Litian questioned, confused, as purple blood stained half his body crimson.

"You're overdrawing your potential," Ye Fan said, charging forward. "Once is fine, twice is okay, but by the third or fourth time, you'll be depleted. In my eyes, you are already exhausted." He didn't want to give his opponent any more chances.

"My Nine Transformations of the Flood Dragon will shed the flood dragon and make me a dragon among men!" Gu Litian roared, opening his mouth and simultaneously swallowing several purple inner cores.

The Flood Dragon Cores, intensely potent and masculine, caused purple electric currents to shoot from his entire body. He became incredibly violent, like an ancient fierce beast resurrected.

He hunched his body, his limbs deformed, appearing like a terrifying, monstrous reptile, even his eyes turning purple.

"The scent of sacred blood... With your blood, I will become even stronger..." His wild nature was fully exposed, and he had almost completely lost himself.

Ye Fan appeared like a deity, divine radiance flowing around him. In his left hand, he formed the Sun Seal, and in his right, the Moon Seal. Two massive, millstone-sized discs of light rumbled across the sky, pushed forward by him.

Pushing the sun and moon forward, he truly seemed like a divine king descending to the mortal realm, looking down upon all beings, omnipotent.

The sun and moon shone with competing brilliance, emitting ten thousand rays of light under his control, too dazzling to look directly at, filled with a grand and sacred aura.

"You have overdrawn your potential; you are already drained," Ye Fan's voice was vast and majestic.

"Thump!"

Gu Litian, like a ferocious ancient beast, charged forward violently, but what awaited him was only the sun. Its sacred radiance enveloped him and struck his body.

"Puff!"

Gu Litian was thrown back like a puppet by the great sun, a spray of purple blood scattering. He was shocked and furious.

"Whoosh!"

He bent his body and shot back like an arrow, attacking again. This time, a bright moon awaited him, striking him, causing him to vomit purple blood and fall from the sky.

"This ends now," Ye Fan said, pursuing him. He launched the Mountain Embrace Seal again, but this time it was vastly different. The black mountain rested on his fingertip, appearing far more real.

Gu Litian roared, purple light flashing in his eyes, and clawed at the purple mountain, intending to tear it apart as he had before. However, this time, he couldn't budge it at all.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan, holding the massive black mountain, struck Gu Litian, shaking the surroundings and causing the very heavens and earth to tremble.

Gu Litian cried out. His flood dragon body cracked open, continuous popping sounds filled the air, his dragon scales rapidly peeled off, and he bled profusely.

"Pffft!"

Ye Fan joined his fingers, divine light flashing, and with a light chop, Gu Litian's head fell. Then, he struck the headless body with the Mountain Embrace Seal, reducing it to dust.

He landed, carving the character "Ye" onto the red rock beside the severed head. "The ten young masters of Yaoguang have come together to execute me," he declared. "You are the first I have eliminated."

Ye Fan left only the character "Ye." He was confident that everyone would understand its meaning: one character, one life. The Northern Region was bound to be stirred into a great commotion.

"The ten masters, I will meet each of you in turn," Ye Fan stated. He turned, the God-Beating Whip on his back, and walked deeper into the crimson land.

In this battle, Ye Fan did not use the Nine Secrets nor did he summon his cauldron. He fought entirely by meeting force with force, and strength with strength. He intended to use this to test his cultivation. Contending with Yaoguang's ten masters was the best training, using them to hone his blade.

At noon, Ye Fan encountered his second opponent. After a fierce battle, he killed him.

Before sunset, he met the third person. Although this individual was at the fifth heaven of the Dao Palace Realm, his combat power was incredibly astonishing, comparable to a Four Extremities Realm expert. Nevertheless, he was ultimately killed by Ye Fan.

The ground was stained with blood, and Ye Fan carved the third "Ye" character beside the severed head.

The setting sun, red like blood, merged with the crimson earth, creating a particularly desolate and vivid scene.

It was imaginable that in just a few days, the Northern Region would be shaken. Three of the ten disciples taught by Yaoguang's reclusive elders had already been killed by him.

The wind began to rise, sweeping across the vast, empty Gobi Desert with mournful wails.

Ye Fan suddenly turned around. Behind him, three figures were approaching against the wind. Without a word, they immediately launched a lethal attack.

His heart jolted. One of them was at the fifth heaven of the Dao Palace Realm, but the other two were powerful experts at the first heaven of the Four Extremities Realm. "Buzz!"

In the sky, golden divine light shimmered, and a massive golden gourd pressed down on him. Its power was immense, comparable to a golden mountain.

Ye Fan dodged, evading the golden gourd.

Suddenly, a warning flashed in his mind. He quickly summoned his cauldron, which hovered above his head, letting down ten thousand streams of Profound Yellow Qi that shielded his body.

"Clang!"

Almost simultaneously, an object struck in front of him. It was an earth-shattering blow that sent him and his cauldron flying over a hundred yards away.

Ye Fan was greatly startled. If his spiritual sense hadn't warned him, prompting him to quickly use his cauldron for protection, he would surely have been hit by that astonishingly powerful strike. He quickly shifted to observe and saw a shimmering silver steel hoop suspended in the air. It was this object that had struck him.

In front, three men stood side by side. One had a golden gourd floating above his head, another had a five-colored feather fan, and the one in the middle had a silver steel hoop.

The three young men, who appeared to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, were all valiant and outstanding, possessing extraordinary aura and heroic spirit.

"The Mother Qi of All Things is truly extraordinary; even my Vajra Goad couldn't penetrate it," the man in the center said.

Ye Fan was immediately startled. He had been curious just a moment ago, but now he was even more surprised. The silver steel hoop was actually called the Vajra Goad. In myths and legends from another part of the cosmos, there was a Vajra Goad of unparalleled power that could ensnare everything. Had it perhaps been brought to this world as well?

Ye Fan drew the God-Beating Whip from behind his back, held it in his hand, and confronted them.
