Chapter 545: After the Matter Is Settled, Leave Without a Word

Chapter 549: The Deed Done, He Brushes Off His Clothes

The sky was scorching, every inch of space filled with electric light. The earth was scorched black, and endless purple light converged into a sea of thunder!

The heavenly tribulation had not yet passed; instead, it grew more intense and terrifying, vast and endless.

On the ground lay corpses, or more accurately, charred human outlines. Ye Fan did not count how many people had perished there.

"Ah..."

A piercing scream, a scene like the end of the world. A half-step mighty figure roared but was powerless to turn the tide. His magic treasure shattered, and he fell stiffly to the ground.

Soon, he turned to ashes in the electric light, not even a bone remaining. All his valuable treasures were reduced to dust; nothing was preserved.

Ye Fan, like a reaper, strode forward step by step, the Cauldron of All Being Mother Qi hovering above his head, divine light emanating from his eyes, mercilessly slaying the survivors.

Since he had made his move, he could not afford to be soft-hearted. Death was the only destiny he offered his enemies.

"Ye Fan, I am from the Wind Clan... I joined unintentionally, I was deceived by them..." A weak voice came from a person who was barely holding on with a mysterious treasure.

The Wind Stabilizing Pearl!Ye Fan was surprised. This was a secret treasure of the Wind Clan, which outsiders could not refine. Although named a "Wind Pearl," it could stabilize earth, fire, wind, and water.

Just then, the fist-sized pearl developed many cracks, yet it still emitted a soft glow, blocking the electric light and protecting him.

However, lightning occasionally broke through, and he was already gravely wounded, on the verge of complete annihilation.

"Did the Wind Clan send people too?" Ye Fan's eyes grew cold as he looked down at him.

"No, only I stumbled in by accident. I am Feng Huang's cousin; we almost became family," he said, as if clutching at a straw.

Of the thirteen Saint Son-level figures, almost all were dead. He might have been the only one still alive at that moment, but the remains of the others were unrecognizable, mostly reduced to ashes.

Ye Fan glanced at him without a word, moving on to the next spot. How could this person have stumbled in by accident?

"Pop!"The Wind Stabilizing Pearl shattered, and the person let out a shriek. Five bolts of thunder struck him, leaving no trace of his body as he perished.

Ye Fan's gaze was profound as he advanced through the sea of thunder. He had been searching for the person who had uttered that venomous voice, as this matter was greatly connected to them.

However, charred human outlines lay one after another, making it impossible to know his fate or if his remains were among them.

Within half an hour, no one remained alive in the sea of thunder except Ye Fan; all had been struck down. The number was far greater than Ye Fan had imagined, with over a hundred charred bodies.

Moreover, in the distant mountains, lightning occasionally flashed, indicating that some people had escaped and were undergoing tribulation elsewhere.

This was a terrifying ripple effect, impossible to escape except by enduring a tribulation — this was the strange and terrifying Heavenly Punishment.

"Ye Demon, ah..."Those undergoing tribulation outside shrieked in terror when they saw Ye Fan approach, bringing with him ten thousand feet of crimson lightning and an endless sea of thunder. Unfortunately, nothing could be changed.

In this outer region, Ye Fan continuously appeared, moving with the vast sea of electricity, submerging everything wherever he went.

He annihilated over twenty more individuals, all undergoing their own heavenly tribulations, having no strength left to resist the even more terrifying Wind-Fire Heavenly Thunder and Chaos Lightning Threads that he brought.

"Ye Ruthless..." The last Supreme Elder-level figure despaired when Ye Fan targeted him.

"Bang!"Ye Fan pointed a finger, piercing his forehead. With a flash of green light, the Yi Wood Thunderforce descended, shattering him into pieces, his bones and flesh scattering everywhere.

No more lightning illuminated the surroundings. The boundless great snow mountain was shrouded in night, with only a sea of thunder still raging!

Ye Fan's heavenly tribulation was far from over; it had entered its most terrifying phase. He had to stop and began to resist with all his might.

Tribulation lightning, including earth, fire, wind, and water, struck one after another. It was a horrifying spectacle, as if heaven and earth were being created.

Wind tore through the void, earth veins surged upwards, water engulfed the sky, and fire raged within. These were four destructive heavenly punishments, with thunder light shaking the nine heavens.

Earth, fire, wind, and water rotated, opening up the void to form a small world, evolving into endless heavenly tribulations, striking down one after another.

Ye Fan was sealed within it, amidst surging chaos mist that evolved into myriad heavens. A vast ocean of destructive lightning engulfed him.

He felt as if he had arrived in the primordial era, when all things first sprouted, everything was just taking shape, heaven and earth were first opened, and chaos had not yet dissipated.

Within the ownerless small world, the heavenly punishment was merciless, striking ceaselessly!

From afar, it was a terrifying sight, a boiling sea of electricity, utterly shocking.

"Damn it, another monstrous talent, deserves to be struck by lightning!" In the distance, the big black dog was smoking black all over, including its ears and mouth.

Carrying Yiyi and clutching the Ancient Emperor Token, it had passed its own heavenly tribulation. Now, every cough sent sparks flying, and it was quite indignant.

However, the benefits it received were also immense; having successfully endured the lightning tribulation, the big black dog's combat power increased significantly.

As earth, fire, wind, and water evolved into myriad small worlds, the heavenly punishment continued unabated, and thunder roared deafeningly. Ye Fan sat cross-legged, calmly refining himself.

He opened his mouth and inhaled; ten thousand bolts of lightning, like a heavenly river, descended from the sky and were all drawn into his body, illuminating his bones, organs, and flesh with brilliant light.

"Boom!"Thunder shook the nine heavens, vast and boundless. He sat motionless at the center, fixed in the void, refining his body with divine thunder and forging his cauldron with heavenly punishment!

Both his physical body and the Cauldron of All Being Mother Qi were transforming, especially the cauldron, which was being imprinted with patterns of heaven and earth, a sign of the Dao's evolution.

As for the golden figure emerging from his glabella, it was even more miraculous. It charged into the lightning, moving away from Ye Fan, breathing in and out amidst the terrifying electric light formed by earth, fire, wind, and water.

This was Ye Fan's divine consciousness, transformed into a human form, walking among the myriad small worlds that had been created, devouring endless lightning and absorbing primordial thunder energy.

The golden figure, flawless and radiant, though repeatedly struck by lightning and on the verge of shattering, endured it all. It was undergoing an unimaginable baptism.

Gradually, a cycle formed between Ye Fan's physical body, the Cauldron of All Being Mother Qi, and the golden figure of his divine consciousness. Various lightning tribulations struck down, flowing within this cycle, continuously refining them.

Soon after, Old Daoist Scarlet Dragon, Peacock King, Daoist Raven, and several Supreme Elders from Yaochi arrived. Seeing this spectacle, they were all dumbfounded.

"Those people... they're all dead!"

"There are streaks of char on the ground; the entire group was struck by lightning!"

"I never imagined he would actually draw down heavenly punishment." Such a colossal commotion here, Scarlet Dragon and the others sensed it from thousands of miles away and rushed here, all equally horrified and utterly dumbfounded at the sight.

"He handled everyone by himself..."

The few people were truly shocked, staring blankly, somewhat speechless.

"What a monster!" After a long time, Daoist Raven finally mumbled.

Another half an hour passed, and then eighty-one consecutive bolts of chaotic electric light struck down. These were not mere mist threads, but a super heavenly punishment!

In the distance, the three great demon kings — Scarlet Dragon, Raven, and Peacock — all changed color, which goes to show how terrifying such a tribulation was.

"Clang..."The Cauldron of All Being Mother Qi was almost knocked away. Ye Fan spat blood, his body cracked in multiple places, and the golden figure was nearly dispersed.

He gritted his teeth and persevered, his bones fractured in many places, golden blood splattering. The small figure formed from his divine consciousness struggled arduously in the chaotic light.

"Dong," "Dong"...With every strike, the earth trembled. There was no longer a single peak in this place; all had been flattened, turned to ashes by the tribulation.

However, Ye Fan finally persevered. After the eighty-one most terrifying chaotic lights had descended, his physical body restructured with crackling sounds, his entire being filled with vital energy like a sea, clear, flawless, brilliant, and crystalline.

His divine consciousness, splendid and having undergone the baptism of lightning, grew even stronger and more solid, transforming into a blazing light that rushed into his glabella.

As for the cauldron, it had initially formed its own laws, beginning the evolution of the Grand Dao. Especially the eighty-one bolts of chaotic light had imprinted indelible Dao marks upon it.

Four Extremities Great Completion!Ye Fan felt that perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could glimpse the path to dragon transformation and enter a completely new realm.

"How rare..."

Ye Fan, relying on his own strength, broke the killing array and annihilated all his enemies, causing the three magnates, Scarlet Dragon, Peacock, and Raven, to sigh in awe, and even the Supreme Elders of Yaochi felt admiration in their hearts.

"This move was truly... unimaginable!"

"It was truly a desperate counterattack!"

They all marveled, finding such a method terrifying. He successfully passed his tribulation, broke the death trap, while everyone else returned to dust.

Ye Fan strode over and expressed his gratitude. Regardless, although the few hadn't personally intervened, their intention was clear, and it was a great kindness.

"Ye Feng..." Liu Yiyi had woken up, her clothes ragged and blood-stained, looking frail but walking steadily. She approached with the big black dog, looking exhausted yet agitated.

"It's alright," Ye Fan said with a bright smile to comfort her. After not seeing them for several years, he also wanted to know where Liu Yiyi and Zhang Ziling had gone.

"Let's leave this place," Old Daoist Scarlet Dragon said, his gaze fixed on the distant sky.

Ye Fan nodded. He didn't want to linger either; perhaps there were still others lurking unseen, and even the Human World and Hell might be secretly observing.

The battle at Fiery Demon Ridge could not be kept a secret from the world; it spread almost on the same day, shaking the Eastern Barren Lands!

Ye Fan immediately thought that most likely someone had survived the tribulation and escaped, spreading the news.

"What? How is this possible? The Sacred Body even annihilated half-step mighty figures?"

"Are you dreaming? He killed two mighty figures? That's utterly outlandish!"

"Fighting alone against a host of elites, Ye Fan consecutively slew thirteen Saint Sons, looking down upon his peers... This is too outrageous, absolutely impossible!"

When the news first broke, almost no one believed it; it was too exaggerated and terrifying.

In the following days, Fiery Demon Ridge was no longer silent. Numerous cultivators appeared, coming to verify the claims.

"Oh my god, these are truly fragments of a mighty figure's weapon, destroyed here!"

"So many charred remains, just how many experts died here?"

Everyone was stunned. The scorched earth, the flattened mountains, a scene of utter devastation; what they saw made their hearts pound, and they all turned pale.

Ye Fan drawing down heavenly tribulation to slay his enemies spread throughout the Eastern Barren Lands, triggering a super earthquake!

This battle record horrified everyone, especially the major powers involved, who were speechless for a long time.

"Damn it, what a monster, to be able to turn the tables like that and wipe out everyone!"

The Eastern Barren Lands shook, and there was an uproar. All the major powers could no longer sit still; one by one, they jumped out to express their opinions.
