Boom...

The black ancient war chariot crashed into the colossal star. This was a clash between king-tier divine weapons, unleashing a destructive wave.

Below, the desolate land, already transformed into a desert, instantly became a sea of magma, surging like an ocean, erupting skyward and scattering the clouds.

It was like an apocalyptic catastrophe; the terrifying disaster caused by the clash of mighty king-tier divine weapons exceeded imagination and was beyond human resistance.

In that instant, the black dragon chariot and the star seemed to fuse, trembling continuously. Dark light and starlight radiated outwards, shattering the void and destroying everything.

Inside the golden Taiji diagram, Ye Fan wielded the God-beating Whip, striking thousands of times. It moved like a flying green dragon, tearing apart the firmament.

Hua Yunfei struggled to resist. The Phoenix-Winged Gilded Halberd in his hand rang out, sparks flying. It transformed into a divine phoenix crying out to the nine heavens, tearing the void to shreds.

"Pfft" Hua Yunfei coughed up a mouthful of five-colored blood, which bloomed like a divine flower, flowing with enchanting light. The blood contained divine power, and he reeled backward.

"Not good!" Ye Fan felt a bad premonition; he had been tricked. The initially unstable divine temple in the sky suddenly solidified, descending like an eternal imperial weapon, exuding immense pressure.

Hua Yunfei used himself as bait, certain that Ye Fan couldn't kill him, setting the stage for Li Xiaoman's killing blow. He intended to severely wound his opponent, using the colossal star to pin down the ancient war chariot, making it impossible to move an inch.

This was a majestic golden divine temple, flowing with divine light. Every brick, tile, and stone step shimmered with radiance, incredibly sacred and awe-inspiring, like the birthplace of a deity.

It weighed billions of jun, capable of crushing heaven and earth. A physical body couldn't withstand it; it pressed down on Ye Fan, forcing him to leave the dragon chariot, otherwise, he would surely be crushed into paste.

"Boom!" The earth sank, and distant mountain ranges on the horizon collapsed like the end of the world. Smoke and dust shot skyward, creating a terrifying scene.

Ye Fan tried several times but couldn't activate the black war chariot. It was inseparable from the colossal star and couldn't be wielded; its king-tier weapon spirit couldn't attack.

He could only activate the Combat Secret, unleashing a blazing radiance, directly clashing with the golden temple. The golden Taiji diagram shone brilliantly, its light engulfing heaven and earth.

Ye Fan exerted his full power, striking skyward. The deafening roar of his divine power surged like an immense ocean.

He finally blocked the golden ancient temple, causing it to nearly disintegrate. Its golden walls cracked, the temple gate fell off, and golden light flowed and cascaded like water.

"Boom!" Ye Fan manifested the golden Taiji diagram, surging skyward. He finally shattered the golden ancient temple, tearing it into pieces, his single punch causing mountains to crumble and the sky to split.

Li Xiaoman cried out, her beautiful hair flying. She continuously spat out several mouthfuls of blood, her body flying backward. A large section of her Lotus Battle Robe shattered, its luster dimming.

Hua Yunfei made his move. The Great Dao Treasure Vase above his head unleashed tens of thousands of dark light threads, causing his immortal-flying power to multiply, once again intercepting Ye Fan.

Blocked, Ye Fan had no choice but to stop and engage in battle. This was a formidable foe who couldn't be underestimated; he had missed an opportunity to pursue Li Xiaoman.

In the sky, Li Xiaoman halted. She recited an ancient scripture, her entire body becoming translucent. A divine light flew out, transforming into a golden ancient diagram, which then manifested as the ancient temple, appearing incredibly mysterious.

Dao sounds, Buddhist chants, and sacrificial hymns seemed to emanate from ancient times, converging to forge a brand new golden divine temple, making it even more mysterious.

The two king-tier divine weapons were locked in place. As Ye Fan and Hua Yunfei fiercely battled, Li Xiaoman attacked again, wielding an eerie power.

The golden ancient temple pressed down, its gates wide open. It possessed a heaven-devouring power, forcibly drawing Ye Fan inside. This temple was immensely powerful and terrifying, capable of suppressing all living beings.

At this moment, Ye Fan felt a searing pain throughout his body; he was about to be refined within. Various ancient divine sounds resonated simultaneously, as if three thousand divine monks were chanting scriptures together.

Had he not developed the golden Taiji diagram, which renders all techniques ineffective against him, he would likely have been in grave danger this time. This was a terrifying refining process, aiming to dissolve him within the golden ancient temple.

Ye Fan guarded his mind, manifesting the Taiji diagram, achieving harmony between heaven and man, embodying the natural Great Dao. Each strike contained profound principles of heaven and earth, tearing open the ancient temple's walls, allowing him to step out bit by bit.

However, at that very moment, a terrifying aura permeated the air. Light shimmered within the golden ancient temple, revealing corpse after corpse of golden Arhats laid out.

Furthermore, there were also fallen Bodhisattvas, their seven-colored divine blood flowing, making the ancient temple eerie, mysterious, and incredibly terrifying.

At the same time, a golden figure approached step by step. Golden Arhats and Bodhisattvas lay prostrate at its feet, as if a deity had walked out from ancient times.

It seemed both near and yet impossibly distant, its true aura elusive and its form unclear. Only a terrifying power surged forth.

"Seems familiar, but who could it be... " Ye Fan had countless doubts in his heart, but he had no time to ponder. Killing the enemy was his top priority now.

"Boom!" Overwhelming divine might surged forth. Inside this golden ancient temple, that figure was like a ruler, destroying all living beings; even Bodhisattvas couldn't contend with it.

Ye Fan's mind nearly shattered, and a trace of golden blood spilled from his mouth. He muttered to himself, "These aren't real; it's merely a divine power borrowed by Li Xiaoman, a re-enactment of the past. It doesn't possess that true might now!"

"Swish!" He opened his Origin Heaven Divine Eye, seeing through illusions and directly perceiving the essence. The so-called golden temple, along with the golden Arhats and Bodhisattvas, were all interwoven with golden laws. Even the master figure was the same; it wasn't a physical entity, but a wisp of divine thought inhabiting it.

"Hmph!" Ye Fan let out a cold snort. The golden miniature lake between his brows shone brightly, and a golden dwarf-like figure, identical to him, stepped out, also like a deity.

Having repeatedly endured heavenly tribulations, his divine sense was incredibly powerful. He used it to attack the laws; this was a unique confrontation.

Ye Fan activated the All-Character Secret, continuously circulating it. Soon after, he successfully triggered it, and the golden miniature figure that emerged from between his brows instantly became ten times stronger, rushing forward like a true deity.

The golden miniature figure, formed from powerful divine sense, opened its divine eyes, clearly seeing every law and continuously dismantling the ancient temple.

Ahead, the golden figure, like a god or demon, engaged in fierce combat. This was the master of the ancient temple, formed from a wisp of divine thought, possessing world-shaking power.

The two engaged in a fierce confrontation, unleashing terrifying fluctuations of mental energy. Wherever they passed, the void collapsed, unable to withstand them.

Ye Fan was alarmed. What kind of power had Li Xiaoman truly borrowed? This divine thought was so terrifying; if he hadn't triggered the All-Character Secret, he would likely have ended in bitter defeat.

One must know that his divine sense was exceptionally astonishing; even as a junior cultivator, he had already suppressed many. This was even truer now.

Yet, at this moment, he still needed to continuously trigger the All-Character Secret to suppress this god-like entity within the ancient temple. Their intense battle caused the golden temple's walls to shatter into pieces.

Ultimately, the golden miniature figure from between Ye Fan's brows proved stronger, eradicating that entity before vanishing in a flash.

"Boom!" With an earth-shattering roar, all Buddhist chants and sacrificial hymns vanished. The golden miniature figure from between Ye Fan's brows shattered the ancient temple with a single punch, leaving nothing behind.

Not far away, Li Xiaoman cried out in alarm, coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, and nearly fell from the sky. A surge of golden divine light re-entered her body.

On the other side, Hua Yunfei was finally unable to suppress the black ancient war chariot. He withdrew the star and retreated.

Ye Fan stood on the dragon chariot, a flash of light between his brows as the golden miniature figure re-entered. Wielding the God-beating Whip, he stared coldly at his two great enemies.

At this point, only a battle to the death remained. Neither side wanted to back down; both sought to eliminate the other.

Ye Fan frowned. Hua Yunfei was already a formidable enemy capable of contending with him, and now there was Li Xiaoman, who possessed mysterious power. This battle would likely be extremely arduous.

The void trembled, and a cauldron appeared above his head. The Mother Qi of All Things cascaded down like a rain curtain, in countless threads and wisps. Profound Yellow Qi circulated, protecting him thoroughly.

Now, the cauldron had already interwoven with some laws, making it immensely useful. Its unparalleled durability meant it was excellent for defense, incredibly difficult to breach!

Only when he was about to fight with his life on the line, to engage in a battle of life and death, did Ye Fan use this cauldron. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it out.

He also had the Heavenly Court's scepter, but unfortunately, it was sealed. Currently, it was merely a mundane weapon whose power corresponded to his cultivation realm.

Stars twinkled, the silver moon shone softly, and the night was like flowing water. The great battle resumed, with both sides unleashing their full power.

Hua Yunfei disregarded the danger, forcibly using the Phoenix Rebirth Technique to restore himself to peak condition, fighting Ye Fan with his immortal-flying power.

A Great Dao Treasure Vase also appeared above Li Xiaoman's head, casting down streaks of dark light that connected with the three hundred sixty-five golden vortices on her body, making her incredibly eerie.

She was re-manifesting; within each golden vortex sat a golden figure, connected to a world behind it. With every clash, terrifying power erupted.

Eventually, golden palms even struck out from those golden vortices, and various divine weapons and magical treasures surged forth, suppressing everything—it was extremely terrifying.

Ye Fan was startled. He didn't know how powerful the divine beings sitting within the golden vortices truly were; what had been shattered in the ancient temple was definitely not their true divine sense.

How did Li Xiaoman borrow such power? Could it be that anyone who cultivated this celestial art could naturally wield it?

This battle was incredibly arduous. They fought until deep into the night, all sustaining heavy injuries, yet no clear victor emerged.

Hua Yunfei was already capable of fighting Ye Fan, and with the addition of the powerful Li Xiaoman, it went without saying. Even with the Cauldron of All-Matter Mother Qi protecting him, Ye Fan found it difficult to kill both of them.

By the end of the battle, Ye Fan was enraged. Li Xiaoman ganging up on him with someone else chilled his heart. He used every available method to fight against both. Various phenomena appeared simultaneously: a vast golden divine ocean surged, a green lotus accompanied him, chaotic qi coiled, an Immortal King descended upon the nine heavens, and even magnificent rivers and mountains appeared.

The Movement Secret, Combat Secret, and All-Character Secret were unleashed simultaneously. Ye Fan, inside the Taiji diagram, manifested numerous phenomena, and the light between his brows flickered as his golden divine consciousness transformed into a miniature figure and surged forth.

The Cauldron of All-Matter Mother Qi floated and sank, the God-beating Whip rotated, and the black dragon chariot charged. All methods were displayed, and the entire world became turbulent.

All sorts of phenomena emerged, terrifying in the extreme. They were on the verge of evolving into a singular, ultimate phenomenon, but unfortunately, it was too blurry to discern clearly, yet its power was incomparably vast!

At the same time, his powerful divine sense, triggered by the All-Character Secret, was equally terrifying, making Hua Yunfei and Li Xiaoman extremely wary and forcing them to continuously dodge.

The golden Taiji diagram evolved to its perfect state, making all techniques ineffective against him and allowing him to attack relentlessly, rendering him unstoppable.

"Boom!" The void largely collapsed, and this part of the world violently trembled. In the latter half of the night, both Hua Yunfei and Li Xiaoman coughed up blood, suffering severe injuries.

Having fought until now, Hua Yunfei no longer dared to use the Phoenix Rebirth Technique, otherwise, his fundamental origin would dry up, and he would surely perish.

Li Xiaoman's face was also pale, having lost too much blood and suffered severe injuries. Her combat power was diminished, all three hundred sixty-five golden vortices had dimmed, and the Treasure Vase above her head was nearly shattered.

Ye Fan was naturally also heavily wounded, but his divine power was inexhaustible, and his combat strength remained undiminished. The more he fought, the braver he became, eventually suppressing both opponents.

Ye Fan exerted his utmost, continuously evolving. His entire being vanished, transforming into a complete Taiji diagram, which he then cast forth.

"Splat!" Hua Yunfei flew up like a ragdoll. His right shoulder and entire arm were turned to paste, his sternum and other bones collapsed, and multiple bones cracked.

"Thud!" A green lotus, originating from Ye Fan's Sea of Bitterness, surged from the Taiji diagram, striking Li Xiaoman. It nearly dispersed her three hundred sixty-five golden vortices and pierced through her chest.

"Even with both of you attacking together, that's all you've got!" Ye Fan was confident he could kill them both. However, he worried they might flee. If so, he would likely find it difficult to stop them and even harder to kill them.

"The Sacred Body truly lives up to its reputation. In the future, I will surely pluck you, this divine medicine, and refine you in a cauldron!" Hua Yunfei declared, then rushed into the distance.
