Chapter 831: Astonishing Bounty

## Chapter 833: A World-Shaking Bounty

The Northern Region had just settled down, and with the ancient sages in slumber, a period of relative peace had begun. It was at this very moment that Ye Fan declared war on the ancient assassin dynasties, a declaration that immediately spread throughout the world.

"The Thirteenth Level of Hell has been breached! It's truly unbelievable. All the assassins turned to ash and were annihilated, and the small dimensions opened by ancient sages have collapsed."

"The Saint Body's heavenly tribulation was genuinely terrifying. It single-handedly destroyed an entire level of Hell, erasing it from existence. It's incredibly forceful and intimidating, quite astonishing."

People outside were abuzz with discussion, everyone talking about the matter. Ye Fan was going to confront two great ancient dynasties alone, and the whole world watched with bated breath.

"The Saint Body has undergone tribulation; this time, he has perfected the Second Layer of the Immortal Altar. Now, if he doesn't cut off his path, who can contend with him?"

During this period, the world was not peaceful. Various sects were on high alert against attacks from ancient races, and few paid attention to Ye Fan's cultivation. Now, they suddenly realized that he had grown to a truly terrifying level.

However, people weren't very optimistic about Ye Fan. Even if he used the heavenly tribulation to level the Thirteenth Level of Hell, they didn't believe he could single-handedly fight both the Mortal World and Hell, as it was simply too unrealistic.

"The ancient assassin dynasties have always been indestructible. Even during the most severe periods in history, when all the Holy Lands united, they still survived."

In that war of yesteryear, the heavens collapsed and the earth shattered, blood flowed like rivers, ghosts wailed and gods howled, bones piled up like mountains, the Heavenly Court turned to ash, and Hell and the Mortal World retreated, yet they were never extinguished.

While there was commotion everywhere, Ye Fan and the Black Sovereign remained quite calm, walking through the desolate mountains of the Northern Region without rushing into any action.

"This is a dragon vein; there should be a good amount of divine source underground," Ye Fan said, gazing at a large mountain ahead.

Along the way, they had dug through more than a dozen mountain peaks, acquiring abundant gains. They were in no hurry to travel, using this time to stabilize their emotions, as they were, after all, facing two great dynasties.

"When truly establishing a sect, too many array patterns need to be inscribed. The more divine source, the better. Let's accumulate it quickly now," the big black dog declared, having pocketed all the source.

"Let's go, we can't dig this mountain," Ye Fan immediately stopped after digging halfway. There were ancient creatures underground, certainly powerful beings.

They began to plan "hunting the divine sons and daughters of the two great dynasties," but over the next half month, they found nothing, no clues whatsoever.

"It's the calm before the storm. They must be calculating our whereabouts, and then they'll strike with a thunderous blow."

"Do you think these two might have beings capable of killing Saints?" Li Tian posed this terrifying question.

"Hard to say. In ancient times, they constantly killed Saints, but now it's unknown," the Black Sovereign replied.

Finally, on this day, white flowers, each stained with blood, fell in many places across the Eastern Wasteland. The two ancient dynasties responded, vowing to kill the Human Race Saint Body.

"More than ten years ago, you already put me on your kill list, yet haven't I lived well to this day?" On that very day, Ye Fan appeared in the Divine City of the Northern Region, scoffing.

Moreover, on this day, Ye Fan announced to the whole world that killing the lowest-ranking person in an assassin dynasty would earn a reward of ten thousand source; a disciple, one hundred thousand source; an important figure, one million source; and a divine son or a giant, ten million source.

"I'm almost a Source Heaven Master, so source is not an issue. All rewards will be paid in unusual source or divine source. Even providing a single piece of information will earn source."

Ye Fan directly issued a severe warning, declaring that he would launch a war sweeping across the entire Eastern Wasteland, using all his power to eradicate them. It was quite a powerful and direct statement.

"If anyone can provide the locations of Hell and the Mortal World and bring me the heads of their leaders, I will offer a piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold!"

Finally, Ye Fan released a world-shaking piece of news, displaying the exclusive immortal material of ancient Great Emperors, which shocked the Northern Region and quickly spread throughout the world.

"A piece of phoenix gold, that's right, a real piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold, without a trace of impurity, with nine phoenixes coiling around it, radiating auspicious energy that shot straight into the sky."

On this day, the Divine City of the Northern Region boiled over; everyone went mad. This world-shaking news immediately spread to all regions, flying into every major power.

"It's truly a piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold, an invaluable treasure, something even ancient Great Emperors yearned for. It's the same material as the Jiang family's Hengyu Furnace!"

On this day, the Five Regions buzzed with excitement. Countless cultivators felt their blood boil; the Phoenix Blood stirred people's hearts. Such an immortal material captivated so many.

This piece, the size of a fist, if expertly forged, could certainly form a Dao weapon. Even if a Great Emperor were alive, they would surely pay attention.

Ye Fan didn't care. At this point, there was nothing to fear. The world knew he possessed the Cauldron of Myriad Things Mother Qi; another coveted immortal material was just par for the course.

"Do you dare to kill? If you can provide the locations of the two ancient assassin dynasties' halls and bring me the heads of their top figures, I'll also offer a Qilin divine medicine seed as a bounty!"

When Ye Fan released this news and personally took out the purple Qilin sealed in divine source, another storm swept through the Eastern Wasteland.

"Crazy, absolutely crazy! So many immortal treasures will drive everyone in the world to attack the assassin dynasties!"

People were indeed mad. With so many benefits, no one could remain calm. Killing an ordinary disciple alone offered a reward of one hundred thousand jin of source—the enticement was too great.

As soon as Ye Fan announced the news, he immediately vanished, disappearing without a trace. He didn't want to be a living target for the dynasties.

"Inciting everyone in the world to target the two ancient dynasties and collectively kill them!"

"In a few more years, Ye Fan might truly become a Source Heaven Master. Indeed, source wouldn't be an issue for him; he intends to use the entire world to wear down these two ancient organizations."

Everyone understood his intention, but they were still tempted. The rewards were too generous; almost everyone wanted to find some clues.

This upheaval was even greater than people imagined. Ancient races joined in, with many strange and powerful beings setting out.

"Find the ancient halls of Hell and the Mortal World, kill one of their leaders, and you can get Phoenix Blood Red Gold? I'll give it a try."

No one expected a son of an ancient emperor to say such words, showing extreme interest in Ye Fan's bounty and being the first among the ancient races to step forward.

Huang Xudao, from Blood Phoenix Mountain, was a very low-key and incredibly mysterious ancient imperial prince. He had seldom ventured into the mortal world, and few had seen his true appearance.

Previously, the Heavenly Emperor's Son personally invited him to emerge and kill the Monkey King, but he refused, stating that his life was only for the Dao. No one expected him to appear at this time.

However, people soon learned why he was interested in that piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold: their clan cultivated phoenix immortal power, and phoenix gold could serve as a catalyst for proving the Dao.

A large number of ancient experts intervened, exceeding Ye Fan's expectations and putting pressure on many who aspired to the bounty. These were powerful competitors.

Soon after, another piece of news arrived: another ancient imperial prince also expressed his intention to act. He was not only interested in the Phoenix Blood Red Gold immortal material but also greatly desired the Qilin divine medicine.

Huo Qilin, from Fire Qilin Cave, had appeared. He had been lingering outside the Primordial Ancient Mine, and no one in the world knew what he intended to do.

This time, he not only intended to act himself but also stirred up some powerful figures within his clan, determined to acquire the Qilin seed. It was said to be their former divine medicine that had flown away during a great tribulation.

It could be said that the people of Fire Qilin Cave were extremely eager and anxious, using all sorts of methods to contact Ye Fan, willing to exchange it for peerless divine treasures, wishing to buy it back immediately.

"What a coincidence," Ye Fan laughed then. He hadn't expected that the Phoenix Blood Red Gold and the Qilin divine medicine would alarm two ancient imperial families.

"It's worth being vigilant. If the people from Fire Qilin Cave are cornered and directly attack you, it'll be trouble," the Black Sovereign said worriedly.

Ye Fan nodded, saying, "That is indeed a problem, but if used well, this will be an immortal sword of slaughter. Perhaps it truly can destroy Hell and the Mortal World."

He would never give away the Qilin divine medicine seed, as every ancient Great Emperor had one, and it was worth billions, impossible to exchange.

They naturally wouldn't show themselves but responded, maintaining the same condition: to obtain the medicine, one must find the ancient halls of the two assassin dynasties and kill one of their leaders.

Huang Xudao alone would be one thing, but Huo Qilin brought out his entire clan behind him, which was truly terrifying. If they were to act, even the assassin dynasties would be horrified.

"Excellent! Although it's a double-edged sword, if used properly, destroying Hell and the Mortal World will no longer be a delusion!" Li Heishui clenched his fists upon hearing the news.

From this day onward, the Eastern Wasteland was no longer peaceful. Soldiers were everywhere, searching for Hell and the Mortal World, and many people began to act.

Ye Fan transported a mountain of source into the Divine City, entirely composed of unusual source, mixed with many bowl-sized divine sources. Its brilliance illuminated all directions, making the entire city bright at night.

How long had it been? He had suddenly produced such a pile of precious source, astonishing everyone. The treasures were immeasurable, their brilliance dazzling.

Many people regretted that if they had drawn Ye Fan into their sects when he was weak, instead of trying to kill him, his Source Art alone would be enough to shake the world now.

People like Source Heaven Masters instilled both awe and fear; this was everyone's unanimous feeling.

Everyone was envious, but no one dared to harbor any illicit thoughts because Ye Fan was decisive, piling the precious source into the old Heaven's Swirl Stone Workshop.

Now, who would dare to rush in there? Everyone knew that the doorkeeper was a human race Saint. To dare to plunder there would truly be courting death.

At the same time, people were also greatly astonished. How did Ye Fan become involved with this Saint, and so intimately? This immediately disheartened some who had harbored ulterior motives.

Of course, this time Ye Fan was simply being brazen. He genuinely manifested the imprint of the Old Madman fighting various kings in the Ziwei Star Domain, and then, calling him "senior" repeatedly, he piled the source inside.

He didn't care about these sources. Even if the human race Saint was displeased and threw them out, it wouldn't matter. At the very least, the effect of using a powerful name to intimidate others was achieved.

When a Saint was involved, even Fire Qilin Cave and others had to reconsider. Although Saints were currently dormant and not openly appearing in the world, they still couldn't be provoked.

Ye Fan disappeared from the Divine City once again. In just half a month, the results were evident: over twenty disciples and two veteran assassins from the two great dynasties had been killed.

Funnily enough, in several instances, they were discovered while on assassination missions, leading to people swarming to attack them, turning the hunters into the hunted.

The Eastern Wasteland found it hard to be peaceful. A mountain of source was piled in the Divine City awaiting claimants, along with a piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold and an immortal medicine seed, igniting a storm.

In recent days, there had been daily bloodshed. The missions of Hell and the Mortal World repeatedly failed and were disrupted. If they dared to appear, a group of people would hunt them down, a truly tragic state of affairs.

"I'm so poor all I have left is source! With my Source Heaven Art, I have nothing else. I can smash you to death with source!" the Black Sovereign yelled, corrupting divine source all day, his wide mouth stretched to his ears, never closing these past few days.

Ye Fan thought he was well hidden and hard for outsiders to find, but unexpectedly, on this day, he was found by an unexpected person—Old Dao Bazhi.

Years ago, he, along with Yin Mingyan Li Desheng, Gu Dao Bazhi, the Sacred Son of Yaoguang, and the Saintess of Yaochi, entered the Primordial Forbidden Zone, where a series of bizarre events occurred.

They later parted ways, and he hadn't seen Old Dao Bazhi since. He never expected him to appear so suddenly and mysteriously today.

"My grandfather wants to see you," he said upon arrival, a strange remark for someone of his considerable age.

"Why?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled.

"He's from the Heavenly Court." The mysterious and powerful Old Dao Bazhi's single sentence stunned Ye Fan and the others.
