Chapter 448: Transformation of the Dao

"You brought this upon yourself. Even if I kill you, the Divine King will have nothing to say!" The old woman swung her staff forward.

Green light flowed from the staff. It was a bamboo cane, so verdant it seemed to drip, and as it imprinted itself on the void, new shoots sprouted, full of life and boundless vitality.

"Buzz!" Yet, the void began to collapse. The bamboo cane, seemingly light, was as heavy as ten thousand tons, shattering space as it struck towards Ye Fan.

The bamboo staff merged with the void, tracing a path of Dao, possessing an immortal divine radiance. When it struck, it was terrifyingly powerful.

"Clang!" Ye Fan swung his Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Holy Spirit Sword to meet the blow, striking the verdant bamboo. A sound like metal tearing stone erupted, nearly shattering eardrums and making internal organs resonate. A tremendous force shook the heavens.

A black abyss appeared between them, the void revealed after being shattered, devouring everything around it, a truly horrifying sight.

Ye Fan's heart tightened. Even his Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Holy Spirit Sword couldn't sever the bamboo staff. A cultivator at the Fourth Transformation of the Dragon-Form truly was formidable, fighting by wielding Dao seals.

The bamboo staff unified with heaven and earth. The old woman was borrowing the momentum of the world, using the supreme Dao to suppress his physical body and holy sword. The green bamboo seemed alive, representing solidity and immortality, verdant like jade.

"Swish!" The old woman pressed forward, seemingly ancient, yet lighter than a phantom, moving like a beam of light, continuously striking with her bamboo staff.

That small green bamboo had condensed the void, fused with the imprint of the Dao, sprouting new growth. Its life essence flowed, making it increasingly unfathomable.

Ye Fan fought with great discomfort, feeling constrained and unable to unleash his full combat power. This was a terrifying rhythm; the old woman controlled everything, mobilizing the might of the Great Dao.

She had transformed the Dao for her own use, standing aloft. The green bamboo staff merged with the Dao, manifesting her will. The longer the fight went on, the more terrifying it became, and heaven and earth gradually began to pulsate.

"Clap!" The green bamboo in the old woman's hand swept out, aiming for Ye Fan's head. As he dodged, she swiftly followed through, slashing towards his chest and abdomen.

Ye Fan's heart tightened. When he struck out with his Holy Spirit Sword, he always felt a slight sluggishness, unable to exert full power. Moreover, at that moment, he finally sensed danger, as if the high heavens were about to descend upon him.

"Clap," "Clap"... The green bamboo in the old woman's hand continued to strike at a steady pace. The world's pulsation grew more intense, this terrifying rhythm resonating with the bamboo staff.

"Not good!" Ye Fan's expression changed. This was the harbinger of a world-shattering strike.

"Buzz!" The old woman planted the green bamboo staff in the air and vigorously shook it. The power of the Great Dao flowed, initially like a gentle breeze and soft rain, then like a mighty river crashing against the sky, immensely grand.

The bamboo staff came to life, so green it seemed to drip, transforming into a towering ancient bamboo tree. Its green leaves were lush, and it shed endless white, sparkling, crystalline bamboo flowers.

"Boom!" This part of heaven and earth collapsed. Countless bamboo staffs appeared in the void, verdant as jade, striking Ye Fan all at once, like ten thousand true dragons swirling in dance.

These were imprints, verdant and vibrant life imprints. The old woman had struck tens of thousands of times earlier, and each strike's force was branded into the void, now erupting completely.

Wherever the bamboo staff had struck, a green bamboo staff appeared, solidifying Dao imprints and unleashing a devastating blow.

The old woman had struck tens of thousands of times unhurriedly, all for this world-shattering final blow. Ten thousand imprints revived, and the Great Dao descended.

Ye Fan resisted with all his might, forced to defend. His golden Sea of Bitterness emerged, surging into the sky with lightning and thunder, blocking the ten thousand imprints.

"Boom!" This was a violent collision. Dazzling light erupted between them, unleashing incredibly terrifying and oppressive energy that surged in all directions.

Many cultivation realms separated Ye Fan and the old woman. Only he could "defy and slay immortals," withstanding such a terrifying assault. Any ordinary person would have been reduced to ashes.

This was a deadly trap set by the old woman, formed from her manifestation of the Dao, yet Ye Fan endured it. His golden Sea of Bitterness encircled him, his own blood energy boiled, and his golden Sacred Body seemed to burn.

"Bang!" He swung his Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Holy Spirit Sword, cleaving the sky, finally unleashing his full combat power, no longer constrained as before. A great black dragon seemed to dance.

"Boom!" The Holy Sword and the Sea of Bitterness resonated together, shattering the ten thousand imprints. The void collapsed entirely, turning into a vast, fractured rift valley, dark and cavernous, devouring the essence of heaven and earth.

"You little beast, you do have some skill!" The old woman's voice was cold, her heart far from calm. The fact that an opponent so many realms below her had broken her death trap was shocking.

"This old hag is terrifying!" Behind them, Pang Bo's eyes gleamed, silver light flowing. The Nine Cuts of the Demon Emperor were about to be unleashed, and dragon-shaped divine light flickered into existence.

The old woman glanced back coldly, seemingly sensing the killing intent. She fixed her gaze on him and said, "If you want to die, go ahead and attack!"

"Old hag!" Pang Bo, defying fate, was about to strike.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure emerged again. A dirt mound in the distance cracked open, and a disheveled old man with white hair cascading over his shoulders rushed out. He resembled a large ape, with arms extending past his knees. His entire body was withered, yet he was full of vigor, his eyes shining like golden lamps.

"Another formidable master at the Fourth Transformation of the Dragon-Form!" Tu Fei and Li Heishui gasped, astonished that such two experts were in this secret place. It seemed they highly valued these children, who must all be young prodigies.

Ye Fan retreated, holding Little Nannan. With two great masters appearing simultaneously, he felt a chill. The difference in cultivation realms was vast; the old woman was already difficult to handle, and now another disheveled old man had emerged.

Pang Bo stepped forward, standing alongside Ye Fan, ready to confront the two terrifying old individuals.

"You dare to trespass upon the Pure Land of the Yin-Yang Sect? You have a death wish!" The disheveled old man revealed his full killing intent. His snow-white teeth looked chilling. He said, "It seems I emerged from seclusion at just the right time. Crippling this Sacred Body and drinking his blood can prolong my life."

"Indeed, he came to his own demise anyway, so the Divine King will have nothing to say," the old woman echoed.

"Old geezers, wait until I sever your heads!" Ye Fan sneered, quickly transmitting a message to Pang Bo, the Black Dog, and Tu Fei.

The two old individuals advanced together, step by step, each one causing the void to tremble. They were six realms higher than Ye Fan, truly formidable enemies.

If it were any other cultivator in the Four Extremes realm, they would have been instantly killed with a single finger. Only Ye Fan and Pang Bo, who had achieved great perfection in the Four Extremes, could resist.

Little Nannan secretly opened her eyes. Upon seeing the two old individuals, she immediately became very frightened and quickly covered her large eyes with her small hands.

"Don't be afraid, Nannan. We'll leave soon," Ye Fan softly reassured her.

"You went to all this trouble just for this forgetful little girl..." The disheveled old man revealed a cruel, cold smile.

"You've lived for so long, and you have the audacity to say something so inhumane?!" Ye Fan retorted coldly.

"Bringing her into the Yin-Yang Sect is her good fortune!" the old woman stated indifferently.

Ye Fan was enraged. Little Nannan had been abducted here, suffered immense grievances, and couldn't even get food, yet this was called her good fortune.

"Old geezers, today I'll cripple you and let you 'enjoy your good fortune'!"

The old woman glanced contemptuously at Little Nannan and said, "It's her own fault for lacking memory; she can't enjoy such good fortune. She deserves to be a servant for life!"

"If you say she's destined to be a servant, then your sect's Saintess is only fit to serve servants!" Ye Fan said chillingly.

Pang Bo also said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of the Eastern Wasteland cultivators by abducting so many talented children?"

The disheveled old man, who resembled a large ape, cackled sinisterly, "If we kill all of you here, won't there be no problem?!"

"Attack!" Ye Fan charged forward, swinging his sword, and began to activate the Battle Saint Method. He had to be ruthless against the two old individuals, or they could face great trouble.

"Buzz!" Pang Bo further activated the Nine Cuts, silver true dragons shooting from his eyes. This was the "Divine Wound" of the Nine Cuts of the Demon Emperor!

"Boom!" The void itself collapsed from the slash. The two old individuals' expressions changed. They retracted their divine sense, avoiding the dazzling dragon light, and did not use their spiritual power to meet the Nine Cuts of the Demon Emperor.

"Boom!" As Ye Fan unleashed the Battle Saint Method, heaven and earth lost their color. The offensive saint art imbued his sword intent, and the Holy Spirit Sword in his hand seemed to come alive, cleaving through nothingness as he struck forward.

"Not good!" The two old individuals cried out. Their arms connected, and they pushed out a divine art, forming a Dao diagram from the two forces of Yin and Yang!

The Great Dao of Yin-Yang! This was the supreme grand method of the Yin-Yang Sect. Typically, men cultivated the Yang Diagram, and women cultivated the Yin Diagram. In ancient Zhongzhou, there was a saying that "Yin and Yang united, invincible under heaven!"

Pang Bo quickly stepped forward. This unified Yin-Yang Dao made his heart pound. He helped Ye Fan by sharing the burden, unleashing the "Deprivation" of the Nine Cuts of the Demon Emperor.

"Boom!" This was a fierce collision, fighting by wielding Dao seals, a confrontation of their respective Great Daos, incredibly terrifying. Both sides were sent flying backward.

Ye Fan's blood energy surged, but he was mostly fine. However, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of Pang Bo's mouth. How powerful was his physical body? Yet, he still sustained an impact!

The two old individuals cackled, their hair disheveled, and charged back into the fray.

"Yin and Yang united, invincible under heaven! Both you youngsters, die!" The two old individuals shouted eerily, their arms connected, as they unleashed the Yin-Yang Diagram once more.

This time, the Yin-Yang Diagram was several times larger than before. Pang Bo and Ye Fan decisively retreated; these two old geezers were simply too terrifying.

Ye Fan began to activate the "All" character secret. During this process, both of them continuously dodged.

The two old individuals activated the Dao diagram, their killing intent intensifying. They pursued their targets through the void. The Yin-Yang Diagram, unleashed for the third time, was even larger. Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang merged, sweeping away everything in their path.

It must be said that the ancient Zhongzhou saying, "Yin and Yang united, invincible under heaven," held some truth. After the two old individuals joined arms, their combat power wasn't merely double but a full five times their original strength!

The Great Dao of Yin-Yang transformed into that massive Yin-Yang Diagram, resembling the Wheel of a Divine Lord, crushing through the void. Nothing could obstruct it; even Pang Bo was injured by its initial strike.

Had Ye Fan not been a Sacred Body, he would certainly have vomited blood and been injured. With Yin and Yang united, the Great Dao manifested, their combat power was world-shaking, truly invincible among those of the same cultivation level!

"Boom!" Finally, Ye Fan activated the "All" character secret. His combat power surged tenfold, golden blood energy shot into the sky, and heaven and earth lost their color. He swung his Holy Spirit Sword, cleaving the firmament as if splitting the world in two.

"Boom!" The Yin-Yang Diagram was shattered by his strike. The two old individuals coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. Although their combat power had significantly increased due to the Yin-Yang unity, it still couldn't compare to the "All" character secret.

The two old individuals were sent flying backward. Pang Bo quickly unleashed the Nine Cuts of the Demon Emperor, causing them to vomit blood once more.

I'm going to continue writing the third chapter. I can stay up late to write it, but please don't stay up late. You can relax and read it tomorrow morning.
