**Chapter 742: His Projection Beyond the Heavenly Domain**
Nine great ancestral Golden Crows emerged together, vying for brilliance with the sun and moon, competing for longevity with heaven and earth, as they charged towards Ye Fan's vision. Millions of divine feathers seemed to scatter from the Nine Heavens, a vast and dazzling expanse, like a shower of golden snowflakes falling chaoticly across eternity.
Ye Fan's side was surrounded by various interconnected visions. Although they were hazy and not yet fully formed, they were capable of annihilating all incoming external forces.
These two terrifying phenomena, clashing head-on like needle points against an awl, collided, emitting a brilliant divine light. Following this, there was an endless desolation, as if a starfield was disintegrating.
The dazzling light forced everyone to close their eyes, while the terrifying darkness made many feel as if their souls were being pulled into an abyss.
Two diametrically opposed transformations completed in the instant a fireworks display seemed to burst forth, startling the hearts of many.
Plummeting from the heart of a blazing sun into the boundless darkness of hell—that was everyone's instant sensation.
In front, Ye Fan stood unmoving, as if petrified. Lu Ya's gaze burned intensely, his aura piercing the sky like a rainbow. A divine light shot from his crown, connecting heaven and earth.
Had a winner been decided? At the edge of the horizon, people watched nervously, their eyes unblinking.
"Lu Ya has won! His momentum is astonishing, like a great river rushing to the sea—unstoppable!"
Everyone witnessed Lu Ya's triumphant divine presence. His golden hair fluttered, and the light beams in his eyes were terrifyingly potent, as if an ancient deity stood there.
Behind him, the nine ancestral Golden Crow avatars stood defiant towards the sky, their divine feathers dancing brilliantly. Their cries echoed, reaching the Nine Heavens.
In contrast, Ye Fan's vision dimmed, slowly disintegrating and settling into calm, before completely vanishing.
"He lost. The young man named Ye has finally been defeated, fallen into Lu Ya's hands."
This battle seemed to draw to a close. Many said so, some cheered, others sighed inwardly, and the distant sky filled with commotion.
"Thump!"
Suddenly, Lu Ya staggered back a large step, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. One of his ancestral Golden Crow avatars shattered into pieces.
"Thump!"
Then, Lu Ya took a second step backward, a cracking sound emanating from his breastbone, clearly breaking. His soaring aura completely dissipated, and the divine light from his crown turned into a bloody glow.
"What happened?" People exclaimed in shock and confusion.
Lu Ya, who had just been so imposing, now coughed up blood with every backward step, retreating. All nine ancestral Golden Crows shattered before him. The bones in his body constantly cracked, almost breaking into fragments, with white bone splinters visible in some places.
"Lu Ya lost! It was he who was defeated!"
At this moment, everyone realized that Ye Fan's vision had merely receded naturally, not been shattered. He hadn't sustained even a single scratch.
The nine ancestral Golden Crow avatars were completely defeated!
"He lost. The Golden Crow clan's foremost genius has suffered a complete defeat."
"Lu Ya, hailed as a prodigy, a physique rarely seen in tens of thousands of years in the Golden Crow clan, has now been defeated in such a manner."
The world-shaking duel drew to a close. With even his nine ancestral Golden Crow avatars rendered useless, what else did Lu Ya have left to fight with?
Ye Fan activated the Soldier character secret art, attempting to snatch the divine halberd hovering above Lu Ya's head. He was extremely cautious, knowing it would be difficult to seize.
A deity slumbered within the sacred weapon. Unless an ancient saint intervened, no one in this era could subdue it. It was like an Emperor's weapon; even if seized temporarily, outsiders would find it difficult to control. Should the deity within the weapon awaken, it would be catastrophic!
"Is this the Sacred Body? Among your peers, only Yin Tiande could suppress you..." Lu Ya's laughter was cruel, imbued with a bestial ferocity.
The divine halberd hung above his head, rising and falling, casting down streams of divine light like flowing silk. It was precisely this that prevented him from being torn apart by Ye Fan's vision.
Ye Fan's gaze turned cold. Without a word, he ceased his actions, sensing a slight danger. This time, he didn't use divine techniques, instead activating the Divine Maiden Cauldron, preparing to unleash it. Controlled by the Soldier character secret art, it could exert its utmost power.
"My Dao heart is shattered, my path to enlightenment hopeless, but I still have a way to kill you!" Lu Ya was on the verge of madness.
His nine Golden Crow avatars were fundamental to his path to enlightenment, but Ye Fan had destroyed them. This was a powerful blow to his unwavering confidence in victory.
"My Dao is gone, my foundation shattered. Since that's the case, I'll drag you with me to the Yellow Springs, to accompany my nine brothers!"
Lu Ya vibrated the divine halberd, as if he had demonized. Every golden strand of his hair stood on end, and endless ripples flew out as the divine halberd emitted the might of an ancient saint.
"You think you can kill me like that?" Ye Fan sneered coldly. With the Divine Maiden Cauldron in his hand, he had no fear of this formidable foe.
Under normal circumstances, the two might have battled for a thousand rounds, but he had destroyed Lu Ya's nine ancestral Golden Crow avatars, changing everything.
"One Day, Ten Crows Pill!" Lu Ya roared lowly, swallowing a precious pill the size of a finger joint, golden yellow and translucent.
Upon hearing that name, Yan Yixi's expression immediately changed, and he warned, "Quickly retreat! He's going to burn both jade and common stone!"
"How twisted! Trading a single day of life for the power of ten Golden Crows!" Li Tian also cried out strangely.
At the edge of the horizon, everyone who witnessed this scene changed color. The One Day, Ten Crows Pill was a forbidden drug, too defiant of natural order and cruel.
It caused one's life force to be completely consumed, leaving only a single day to live, yet it could unleash ten times the potential, making one unmatched in the world.
Consuming this precious pill would be like a firework, blooming with the most dazzling beauty for a single instant, then vanishing forever.
Reaching ultimate sublimation, dying in a blaze of glory.
"Ah..."
Lu Ya let out a loud cry. The bones throughout his body shifted, rattling like firecrackers. Every inch of his flesh glowed with dazzling light; he seemed to be on fire.
"One Day, Ten Crows Pill! Retreat quickly!" Yan Yixi and Li Tian both shouted.
Ye Fan retreated, the Divine Maiden Cauldron above his head calmly observing, quietly watching everything unfold.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an immortal light burst from the precious pill Lu Ya had swallowed, transforming into a hazy golden figure. He stood high in the sky, looking down at Lu Ya, and said, "Xiao Liu, you have disappointed me greatly."
"Father King!" Lu Ya cried out in alarm, but his face was already twisted as the drug's effects had begun.
In the distance, everyone was terrified. Had their clan king arrived? This was an ancient Golden Crow with a terrifying battle record, almost comparable to a Grand Perfection Divine King!
This was an ancient king, over 3,700 years old, who had dominated his entire life. In his prime, he dared to raid the Human King Hall to snatch their divine maiden, full of legendary exploits.
It was precisely because of that battle that he had damaged his foundation, entering seclusion for over two millennia. This was why he had children late in life, yet each one was remarkable, a family of ten princes.
"Didn't the Golden Crow King enter seclusion, vowing not to emerge until he reached the Grand Perfection King realm? Did he take that step?" This was the terrifying question in everyone's hearts.
"Father, you..." Lu Ya was also surprised and bewildered.
"Xiao Liu, you've disappointed your father greatly. What is a Dao foundation? If it's severed, start anew; sooner or later, you'll forge a wider path!" The ancient Golden Crow was majestic and terrifying.
"I've disappointed you. In the next life, I'll be your son again." Lu Ya was resolute, preparing to fight to the death.
"If this is all the ambition you have, then in your next life, you won't be worthy of being my descendant. Wake up!" the ancient Golden Crow thundered.
"But I've already swallowed the One Day, Ten Crows Pill; there's no time left." Lu Ya's veins bulged across his body, like writhing dragons, threatening to burst at any moment.
"Years ago, when you took this pill, I already removed sixty percent of its potency. You can live. Go, forge your own bloody path. Your father awaits your return," the Golden Crow King said, his figure gradually fading.
"Ah..." Lu Ya cried out, grabbing the divine halberd and swinging it, charging forward to kill.
"Four times potential? It's merely overdrawing your lifespan, a trivial path!" Ye Fan sneered coldly, stepping forward inch by inch, without the slightest apprehension.
"What are you saying?!" Lu Ya's hair bristled with rage. He was a divine prodigy of his generation, the foremost talent of the Golden Crow clan, yet he was so belittled by Ye Fan. Swallowing the One Day, Ten Crows Pill was already humiliating enough; now his blood boiled with indignation.
"I'll send you on your way!" Ye Fan didn't want to say more. He took down the Divine Maiden Cauldron, cradling it in his palm, and pressed it forward.
The Divine Maiden Cauldron's power surpassed that of the Black-Winged Gilded Halberd, for it was forged by an ancient Great Emperor, possessing endless profound mysteries. Instantly, heaven and earth shattered, and the aura of an ancient saint permeated the air!
Lu Ya's face turned ashen. From the depths of his soul, a great banner rushed forth, fluttering loudly. Sensing that clansmen were flying towards them, he roared, "Summon the Ancestral Banners!"
In an instant, banners unfurled across the sky, obscuring everything, and mist churned, as if a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals were charging.
The other seven great banners tore through the sky, descending like seven ancestral Golden Crows, fluttering loudly. This was the clan's ultimate divine formation!
In the past, in Tanggu, the Golden Crow clan had displayed their sect-protecting treasure: eight great banners forming an ancient killing formation, comparable to a sacred weapon, as it was left behind by a saint.
Unfortunately, the divine thoughts born from the Human Emperor had severed them all. Now, these great banners were those broken ones. Although destroyed, they still possessed immeasurable divine power.
Without a doubt, Golden Crow experts were rushing to the scene, intent on rescuing Lu Ya.
"Whoosh!"
The eight banners unfurled, Golden Crows soared, and together with the divine halberd, they vibrated, emitting the might of an ancient saint.
The Golden Crow clan had invested immense effort into killing Ye Fan. Besides Lu Ya wielding the divine halberd, a group of experts had also brought out the ancestral banners. Now, they were finally put to use.
"It's useless. Even if you summon another sacred weapon today, you won't survive." Ye Fan attacked, and the Divine Maiden Cauldron pressed down.
"I refuse to believe it! Combined, the divine halberd and ancestral banners can't suppress one of your sacred weapons!" Lu Ya roared, his amplified potential erupting. His entire body seemed to burn, and his divine power was astonishing.
"Thump!"
The Black-Winged Gilded Halberd and the eight ancestral banners simultaneously attacked the crystalline divine cauldron.
"Boom!"
Heaven and earth trembled violently. Lu Ya, his potential burning, held a semi-sacred weapon to resist the Divine Maiden Cauldron, acting utterly mad, as if determined to perish together.
"Let's end this."
Ye Fan let out a cold shout. At this crucial moment, he didn't want to suffer even a slight injury, to avoid being taken advantage of. He flipped his hand, revealing a skull like black jade in his palm, which he pressed forward to suppress.
"The ancient saint's skull from the Yin Cult!" people exclaimed.
This skull, translucent like a black crystal, instantly blocked the fragmented Golden Crow ancestral banners, neutralizing the ancient killing formation.
Then, the Divine Maiden Cauldron pressed down, causing the divine halberd to tremble incessantly. Lu Ya coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, his body disintegrating inch by inch, seemingly on the verge of being destroyed.
At the edge of the world, in an unknown location, there was a world of flames, where heavenly fire was everywhere, and an ancient cave was filled with the essence of the sun.
Yet, this terrifying place was a place of secluded cultivation for one individual. At this moment, a king, like a demon god, suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two bolts of lightning from within the ancient cave.
He was none other than the Golden Crow King, a super terrifying existence. Almost all those of his generation had died out; even in his prime, few could contend with him!
The instant he awoke, at the Yuanxu Ruins of Shenzhou, the illusion contained within the precious pill Lu Ya had swallowed suddenly seemed to gain nourishment, manifesting once again, and with astonishing reality.
"Am I to emerge from seclusion?" The Golden Crow King, now re-manifested on the battlefield, muttered to himself. With one hand, he lifted the divine halberd, blocking the Divine Cauldron's fatal strike. In the sky, it was as if ten suns had exploded.
"The Golden Crow King's Projection from Beyond the Heavenly Domain has manifested!" Everyone who witnessed this scene was terrified.
"Father!" Lu Ya cried out, knowing that this manifestation was vastly different from the previous one; his father possessed formidable combat power!
This time, the Golden Crow King's body manifested with exceptional clarity. He was a middle-aged man resembling a demon god; merely his presence made people gasp for breath.
In his eyes, mountains and rivers collapsed, time shifted, and stars extinguished. He was utterly ancient and terrifying.
Holding the divine halberd, he stood in the void. With a gentle tremor, he caused towering waves to crash ashore, threatening to shatter this entire world!
Ye Fan, cradling the divine cauldron in his palm, trembled violently and retreated more than twenty steps. Cracks appeared on his glabella, and streaks of blood trickled down, a terrifying sight.
"Bang!"
He finally stabilized himself, his expression utterly cold. Without a word, he gazed at the terrifying king before him.
"Quite interesting," the Golden Crow King's voice was icy cold, like that of a demon god from purgatory.
"My body is tough, my Dao even tougher. If you wish to sever my Shattered Immortal Stage, it's destined to fail. Even if you manifest here today, I will still kill Lu Ya!" Ye Fan declared.
"With me here, can you still kill him...?" The Golden Crow King's voice was vast and distant, rumbling through heaven and earth, making everyone's blood churn.
Even as a projection from beyond the Heavenly Domain, he remained terrifying, truly worthy of being called a demon god-like existence in this era.
"With you here, I will still kill him without fail!" Ye Fan declared with unwavering determination.
"Is that so...?" The Golden Crow King said indifferently, as if nothing in the world truly concerned him.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, he abruptly raised his head, his eyes becoming incredibly terrifying, filled with malevolence, like two black holes into which stars were falling!
At that moment, he possessed an exceptionally terrifying aura, as if a glance could collapse mountains and dry up seas!
This was the demeanor of a peerless master: a single glance could survey the vast wilderness and overturn mountains and rivers!
He and the divine halberd merged into one. His invisible oppressive aura was already unbearable, to say nothing of a slight tremor from him.
Cracks once again bloomed on Ye Fan's glabella, lines appearing one after another, blood vessels like a spiderweb. He seemed on the verge of fracturing.
A peerless master, a Grand Perfection King, whose projection from beyond the Heavenly Domain was equally invincible!
"Ye Fan, hurry and leave!" Li Tian and Yan Yixi secretly urged.
"It's not his true body descending. Today, I am determined to kill Lu Ya!" Ye Fan stated resolutely, activating the Divine Maiden Cauldron.
"If you had one more sacred weapon, perhaps there would be hope, otherwise..." The Golden Crow King suddenly stopped speaking, abruptly looking to the other side.
The black skull, entangled with the ancestral Golden Crow banners, suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, emitting the might of an ancient saint.
At this moment, space-time was in chaos, heaven and earth trembled, as if several sacred weapons were clashing. The world was ablaze, and everyone closed their eyes.
When people opened their eyes again, Ye Fan, cradling the divine cauldron in his palm, coughed up large mouthfuls of blood and staggered back, his glabella nearly pierced through!
On the other side, the Golden Crow King's face was extremely cold. A cloud of blood mist drifted away not far off, and a desolate shriek seemed to reverberate.
Lu Ya was utterly shattered, his body and spirit annihilated!
"A hidden ancient sacred weapon within the skull..." The Golden Crow King was cold and ruthless, not enraged by the loss of his son.
Everyone was stunned. Ye Fan truly dared to act, killing Lu Ya right in front of the Golden Crow King!
