Chapter 714: Naked Battle

"Ye, what are you doing diving in there?!" Li Tian exploded in anger, lifting the lid of the Goddess Furnace, intending to empty its contents.

"He's been drawn into the Guanghan Palace," Yan Yixi said. "Unless you release the Guanghan Palace along with him."

"Ye Fan, show some restraint! If you dare to compete with me for the First Beauty, you'll never get out of there!" Li Tian threatened furiously.

Yan Yixi said, "He's likely in mortal danger. Now that he's inside the Guanghan Palace, we need to suppress it with the Goddess Furnace, or something unexpected will surely happen."

A golden wind swept across, and solar holy power boiled. The Black-Winged Golden Mirror flew over, carving out a beam of eternal light. The weapon of the Golden Crow clan's Great Saint was truly terrifying.

"Clang!"

Li Tian hastily sealed the furnace lid, activating the Goddess Furnace to resist. He shouted, "Lu Ya, we have no past grievances or recent enmities! Why are you opposing me?"

"Enough talk!" Lu Ya's entire body glowed like molten gold, revealing his full murderous intent.

"Your Golden Crow clan's princess is on good terms with my senior brother, so don't take it out on me, alright?" Li Tian said with a wicked grin.

Lu Ya's expression grew even colder as the Golden Crow clan's Great Saint's weapon revived and pressed down.

Yan Yixi's expression changed. He snatched the Goddess Furnace to counter the descending Black-Winged Golden Mirror, and a dazzling array of sparks erupted in the sky. This was a terrifying confrontation between sacred weapons.

Lunar qi surged, and a cloud of black mist enveloped the area, chilling to the bone and significantly lowering the temperature of Tanggu. The Lunar Divine Son had also made his move.

At the same time, Daoist San Que also came to assist Lu Ya. Aided by two old Daoists, he wielded a sacred weapon, the Longevity Halberd, striking the Goddess Furnace and emitting a blinding glow. Tanggu shook violently.

"Go, retreat!" Yan Yixi called out softly.

Although everyone else had rushed towards the Solar Ancient Emperor's palace and hadn't come to besiege them, these three sacred weapons alone were enough to give them a hard time.

"We've arrived at the Ancient Emperor's nirvana site," Li Tian said, annoyed. "Why aren't you looking for divine artifacts? What are you attacking us for?"

"Release Miss Qingwu!" the Lunar Divine Son shouted from within the mist. He was like a great demon god walking in darkness, enveloped by Lunar black clouds.

"Quickly open the Goddess Furnace and release Immortal Yi," Daoist San Que said. He was extraordinary and ethereal, his Bagua Daoist robe making him seem detached from worldly affairs.

It must be said, Yi Qingwu's beauty was unparalleled and her charm boundless. Even several sect master-level figures shouted from afar, urging them to release her.

The Goddess Furnace glowed with divine light, almost transparent. It rammed open the Black-Winged Golden Mirror, tore through space, endured a blow from the sacred weapons wielded by the Lunar Divine Son and Daoist San Que respectively, and soared upwards.

Suddenly, another sacred weapon appeared in Tanggu: a freezing palace descended from the sky, engulfing the Goddess Furnace and Yan Yixi along with them.

"Clang!"

This was very sudden. The frigid palace, majestic, grand, and imposing, struck the Goddess Furnace, causing the two senior and junior brothers, who had just endured an attack and hadn't yet recovered, to cough up mouthfuls of blood.

"Just as the legends say, you still have another sacred weapon! This is the true Guanghan Palace!" Li Tian exclaimed.

"Release Qingwu," said a beautiful middle-aged woman who flew over. Still graceful and charming, her expression was not good. The Goddess Furnace was infamous; if someone was drawn into it and couldn't be rescued, the consequences were unimaginable.

"The First Beauty of the world entered the Goddess Furnace and still wants to leave? Don't even think about it," Li Tian said, exuding a sinister aura. "There will surely be a fine tale about this in the future."

Inside the furnace, it was a vast space filled with ethereal mist and rosy light. At this moment, a palace floated within it—the Guanghan Palace.

Yi Qingwu entered this sacred weapon, as she dared not stay in the space of the Goddess Furnace itself, which was known to be full of threats to immortals, saints, and the like.

Inside the Guanghan Palace, clouds and mist drifted, and pristine white palaces and pavilions stood in abundance, with specks of brilliance. Ye Fan wanted to break free from this place, but it was very difficult.

"It's useless," Yi Qingwu said as she appeared, standing on a cloud. "You've entered a sacred weapon; there's no way out." Her robes fluttered, her slender figure enchanting. Her oval face was more luminous than mutton-fat jade, and under long eyelashes, a pair of large, deep eyes sparkled with spiritual light.

"Although I can't get out," Ye Fan said, "you're in big trouble too. As a woman who's entered the Goddess Furnace, you'd better pray for good fortune."

"Submit to me, and I'll spare your life," Yi Qingwu said with a faint smile. She was stunning, her beauty unparalleled, and her voice incredibly magnetic and pleasant to the ear. Uttering such words felt rather abrupt, as they shouldn't come from the mouth of the world's First Beauty.

"Having entered the Goddess Furnace," Ye Fan said, "your only way out is to submit to me. Only then can you leave alive."

"Right now, you are in the Guanghan Palace," Yi Qingwu said. "This is a sacred weapon passed down through generations. Your fate is in my hands. If you don't submit, I can only let you rest in peace." Her dark hair fluttered, her body shimmering with iridescent light, so beautiful that it made one feel dazed and lost.

"First Beauty of the world," Ye Fan teased, "why do you like to make others submit? Do you enjoy being a queen?"

"Within this Goddess Furnace," Yi Qingwu said with a faint smile, "I control everything independently. Once I have your main primordial spirit in my grasp, then I can negotiate with those outside." A killing intent also emerged from her.

"I think you and I can sit down and have a good talk," Ye Fan said seriously.

"No need to stall for time; I won't give you the chance," Yi Qingwu said. "Even if you are a Sacred Body, within this ancient saint's weapon, your life and death will be in my control." Incredibly ethereal, her lotus steps graceful, her figure lithe and captivating, swaying beautifully, she continued, "Offer up your main primordial spirit, and I will spare your life. From now on, you will serve me as your master."

A full-power strike from a sacred weapon would cause even kings of the Celestial Platform Third Heaven to suffer bitter defeat. Even if Ye Fan's physical body was strong, he was far from achieving full mastery, making it impossible for him to withstand it.

"What kind of relationship would we have then," Ye Fan sneered, "serving you day and night?"

"I've already given you a chance," Yi Qingwu said plainly, gathering her long hair. "Since you're not making a choice, then don't blame me for making my move."

Suddenly, Ye Fan preemptively launched an attack. His Arcane Steps were unparalleled; he transformed into a blurry shadow and shot forward like lightning, striking towards Yi Qingwu, intending to ruthlessly destroy the flower.

"It's useless," Yi Qingwu said, her magnetic voice alluring. "Inside the Guanghan Palace, personally refined by an ancient saint, even a perfected King Body would struggle to escape." Yet, her actions were vastly different; she showed no mercy!

With a violent tremor, the entire Guanghan Palace shook violently. Immortal light filled the sky and descended, striking towards Ye Fan. Each beam was enough to sever a Great Power.

This was a deadly blow!

An peerless beauty, with unparalleled grace and exquisite charm, yet once she made a move, she was like a goddess of war, truly terrifying.

"Clang!"

Tremor after tremor, as the immortal light descended, Ye Fan retreated swiftly. The Primordial Cauldron above his head almost separated from him, and the scroll he obtained from the Myriad Dragon Nest, draped over him, also flapped loudly.

In addition, he held a golden divine staff in his hand, which also burst forth with colorful light. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he barely managed to withstand the might of the sacred weapon, escaping this deadly calamity.

"A sealed sacred weapon!" Yi Qingwu's expression changed as she stared at the golden scepter radiating endless killing intent. Her heart was far from calm.

The Guanghan Palace could only exert one-tenth of its divine power within the Goddess Furnace, greatly suppressed. This was clearly done by Li Tian and Yan Yixi.

Yi Qingwu frowned slightly. Killing Ye Fan with only one-tenth of the sacred weapon's divine power was somewhat troublesome. Although the scepter in his right hand was sealed, it could still block some attacks.

"I can't give you any more time!" Her expression turned cold.

Yi Qingwu's entire body emitted precious radiance, her divine robe shimmering with colorful light. Heroic and valiant, like a goddess, her slender figure moved as she sent forth a divine moon, pressing towards Ye Fan.

This was immortal light condensed from the sacred weapon, flying out through her hands and primarily attacking the opponent. The might of a saint was vast!

Although the Celestial Court Ancient Staff was a sacred weapon, it was sealed and currently could not emit any divine power. Ye Fan held it but could not attack.

"What is a sacred weapon?" Yi Qingwu said, striking him. "It is an alternative continuation of an ancient saint's life after their death. Do you think you can contend with a saint? Your weapon is dead. This should end now. I'll send you to your rest."

What she said was true. Even if the sacred weapon could only exert one-tenth of its divine power, it was far from something human strength could contend with. Cracks appeared all over Ye Fan's body, and his bones creaked.

Outside, the Lunar Divine Son attacked again. Lunar holy power froze everything, covering Yan Yixi and the other person standing before the Goddess Furnace with frost.

Lu Ya also made another move, and the Black-Winged Golden Mirror slashed. Several sacred weapons jointly trapped and attacked Li Tian and Yan Yixi, attempting to seize the Goddess Furnace.

"Boom!"

The ancient palace above the Fusang Divine Tree shook violently. People from major powers rushed inside, where a great melee had already erupted, staining the ground with blood.

Chaos ensued. Many wanted to contend for the Human Ancient Emperor's treasures. Some cultivators didn't rush into the palace but descended towards the Golden Fusang Divine Tree.

However, this tree was very special; solar holy power incinerated many powerful experts. Most terrifyingly, there was a one-armed old man in front of the tree who glowed like a scorching sun. No one could approach him.

The Divine Treasury was about to appear, but the beautiful middle-aged woman, Lu Ya, and the Lunar Divine Son did not immediately rush there. Instead, they used sacred weapons to block Li Tian and his companion. The Goddess Furnace trembled continuously and was almost knocked out of the sky several times.

"Bang..."

With a violent tremor, two sacred weapons pressed down. Li Tian's arms were almost shattered, and he coughed up blood. Yan Yixi also let out a muffled groan, his white robe stained with blood.

At the same time, a third sacred weapon pressed down, and the Goddess Furnace was almost overturned. Both of them suffered heavy injuries. As all were sacred weapons, it now depended on the strength of the wielders, and the two of them naturally could not withstand the joint attack from several parties.

Li Tian said fiercely, "At worst, we'll go down together. The world's First Beauty in the furnace... hehe!"

"Release Qingwu, and you may leave," said the beautiful middle-aged woman from Guanghan Palace.

"If we want to leave, you can't stop us," Li Tian said. "If you want to keep us here, you'd have to destroy a sacred weapon." He began to activate the forbidden power within the Goddess Furnace, lifting the lid and carving runes on a small altar.

Inside the Goddess Furnace, Yi Qingwu's expression changed. The power of Human Desire Dao permeated, engulfing the Guanghan Palace. She had a bad premonition, remembering some legends.

Ye Fan's pressure greatly reduced. A surge of pure power surged forth, resisting the Guanghan Palace, transforming into a burning flame.

"The power of the Great Dao of Human Desire!"

Inside the Goddess Furnace, it was hazy. The Six Desires Divine Tribulation descended, weaving strands of colorful light that engulfed the inside of the furnace and rushed into the Guanghan Palace.

"Bang!"

Yi Qingwu's dark hair flew wildly, her divine robe burned to ashes, revealing a body as white and alluring as ivory, completely nude, so perfect it was breathtaking.

Facing the impact of the Six Desires Divine Tribulation, she showed no trace of panic. Even when naked before Ye Fan, her expression remained calm, but her eyes, like black jewels, were very cold.

"I'll send you on your way!" the world's First Beauty coldly shouted.

She activated the Guanghan Palace, disregarding the invasion of the Goddess Furnace's inherent laws, deciding to first destroy Ye Fan to prevent anything bad from happening.

The saint's weapon fully revived, unleashing divine power at this moment that surpassed anything before, terrifying beyond compare!

"Puff!"

Even a perfected Divine King would suffer bitter defeat in such circumstances. And now, Ye Fan, far from being perfected, had his body burst into pieces with a puff.

"Finally, I've killed him first," Yi Qingwu murmured to herself.

However, it wasn't long before a flash of blood-red light appeared not far away: Ye Fan's body regenerated, surprisingly reappearing inside the divine furnace.

"You..." Yi Qingwu's expression changed. Her body was as white as jade, her face beautiful and flawless, imbued with the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Her legs were snow-white and slender, her slender waist easily grasped, like a sculpture of mutton-fat jade, beautiful almost to the point of being a dream.

Ye Fan charged forward, his expression cold, black hair flying, and fought Yi Qingwu in the nude.
