Chapter 857: Blood Battle at Yuangu

Chapter 859: The Bloody Battle Against Yuangu

The Nine-Phoenix Ancestor King appeared, the one most likely to become a Great Saint. A carriage pulled by nine primeval fierce beasts stopped in the sky, causing many to feel a jolt of fear.

The noisy Qixia Plain suddenly became much quieter. All clamor ceased, and people were astonished that such a figure had come to observe the battle.

"You'd all better shut up!" In the arena, the Daoist Tongtian was incredibly imposing, with raven-black hair and bronze skin that glowed with a healthy luster, exuding a powerful aura.

Among the various primeval tribes, none of the younger generation dared to shout anymore. Since the Nine-Phoenix Ancestor King had spoken, no one wanted to court disaster. Many secretly held their breath, glaring at the so-called Daoist Tongtian.

"That looks like the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor!" Yan Ruyu's expression shifted. With her captivating beauty, she slightly raised her eyebrows and looked towards the arena.

"Pang Bo!" From a distance, Ye Fan was thrilled. While others' Heaven's Eye abilities couldn't see through, his Origin Heaven's Eye could. He had never imagined that Pang Bo would appear at this crucial moment, returning alive.

"Who are you?" Pang Bo asked cautiously as Ye Fan approached.

"This humble Daoist is Yuanshi," Ye Fan smiled.

Pang Bo immediately burst into laughter and strode over. The two men powerfully punched each other's shoulders. Having faced life and death together, coming to this world and enduring hardships side by side, they were finally reunited.

Twelve years had passed since their last separation, and it was truly difficult to meet alive again. Ye Fan had traveled alone through desolate starfields, while Pang Bo had experienced life-and-death battles in the Eastern Wasteland. Both had endured incredibly dangerous journeys.

"How is the Ziwei Ancient Starfield? Are there any legendary ancient figures from Earth there?"

"It's similar to here; figures have appeared, but they've all moved on along the ancient Starry Sky Road. Where did you go? Why are you only showing up now?"

"I escaped into the Immortal Palace outside the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Zone and gained a lot."

The two quickly exchanged a few words, their hearts filled with emotion. Being reunited in this foreign land was exciting and deeply comforting.

They left the battlefield together, blending into the crowd and disappearing from sight.

The sun rose in the east, and the morning glow spread across the land. The entire ancient battlefield was enveloped in a radiant light, lending a peaceful aura to the desolate area.

The Domain Gate opened, and several major Sacred Lands, including Dayan, Zifu, and Dao Yi, appeared one after another. Their numbers were vast, with everyone from white-haired elders to vigorous young generations arriving to observe the battle.

Among them, a purple-robed girl possessed an ethereal and divine beauty. Many whispered, calling her a Congenital Dao Embryo, a future heavenly pride and goddess, drawing considerable attention.

Soon after, people from the Great Xia Dynasty in Zhongzhou arrived on auspicious clouds, like a host of heavenly soldiers and generals, their armor glinting. The leader was Xia Yiming, who had now become the Lord of Xia, accompanied by the whimsical little nun in white.

"People from the Divine Silkworm Ridge have arrived!"

Someone exclaimed. An old man walked alone, followed by over a dozen men and women, appearing from the horizon. He seemed unassuming and ordinary, yet he struck fear into many royal families, for this old silkworm was the Divine Silkworm Princess's youngest brother.

Clouds surged as Zhongzhou's divine dynasties, such as Jiuli and Guhua, successively appeared in the distant sky. This battle was highly influential, drawing nearly all renowned major powers from across the land.

Even the reclusive Jade Lake sent representatives. The Saintess of Jade Lake stood amidst the clouds and mist, ethereal as a banished immortal, observing from afar, quietly awaiting the battle's commencement.

Dark clouds rolled, and a Primeval Ancestor King manifested, breathing in and out at the edge of the world, seated in black mist like an ancient god or demon, indifferently watching the Qixia battlefield.

The appearance of such a being immediately heightened the tension in the area, causing many to tremble with fear, almost collapsing to the ground.

Soon, people spotted the Saint from the Tianxuan Stone Workshop. He was hunched over, leaning on a cane, appearing very frail. However, his presence instantly put many human cultivators at ease.

"Time's up, Human Sacred Body, have you arrived?!" A mighty roar echoed across the Qixia Plain, like a god or demon bellowing, shaking the entire ground.

Yuangu had appeared!

A clamor rose from the crowd as everyone soared into the sky to watch one of the main protagonists of this decisive battle. The individual possessing the Ancient Emperor's bloodline stood like a demonic overlord, inspiring awe and dread.

He was tall and imposing, with long black hair flowing down to his waist. His eyes blazed with a wild radiance, emitting tangible beams of light dozens of meters long, chilling to the core.

Such a demonic expert stood alone in the center of the Qixia Plain, exuding an air of unparalleled dominance and unmatched arrogance, looking down on all directions!

"Human Sacred Body, are you afraid? Time is up. Why don't you dare to come? Do you fear my clan's Ancient Emperor bloodline?"

"If he comes, he's certainly dead. In terms of physique, he's no match; how can he contend with the unparalleled Ancient Emperor bloodline? As for forbidden secret arts and cultivation realm, he's far inferior. If he fights, he'll surely die!"

Many young experts from the Primordial Lake shouted. Several even stepped out from the crowd and provocatively entered the center of the battlefield, harboring malicious intentions, aiming to weaken Ye Fan's morale. Everything was for Yuangu's victory.

Earlier, a Daoist Tongtian had inexplicably appeared, slicing down several people as easily as cutting vegetables. And with the Nine-Phoenix King present, they dared not be too outrageous.

Now, with the great battle imminent, they had no more reservations. Knowing Ye Fan would surely come, they openly provoked him, hoping to stir his emotions with precise targeting.

"The Human Sacred Body is nothing special. If you don't dare to fight the Ancient Emperor bloodline, perhaps I should step in instead? I can still slay you with my sword!"

"Crack!"

At that very moment, a golden lightning bolt tore through the sky, so dazzling and bright that many couldn't help but close their eyes. It slashed across the heavens and arrived in an instant.

"Noisy!"

Ye Fan appeared, transforming into a human-shaped lightning bolt descending from the sky. He forcefully stomped down with both feet; his left foot landed on one person's chest, and his right foot stomped on the face of an ancient race expert. "Thump," "Thump."

The two young ancient race experts who had just been shouting collapsed to the ground like dead dogs, stomped down by Ye Fan from the sky and prostrated at his feet.

"You..." In front, several young ancient race members couldn't help but recoil. Facing the Human Sacred Body directly, they were terrified; the dreadful aura made them tremble uncontrollably.

"Scram!"

Ye Fan let out a cold shout, applying force with his foot, kicking the two away, causing them to collide with the others in front.

They were prepared, but they couldn't dissipate the force at all. It was as if they had been hit by a great mountain; all of them vomited blood, their bodies tore apart, and they were sent flying horizontally, collapsing weakly to the ground.

The Human Sacred Body appeared, bathed in divine radiance, composed and calm. An aura that made people tremble permeated him as he walked forward step by step, like an immortal statue, standing firm between heaven and earth.

He grew stronger with every challenge, needing no disguise. He was like the reincarnation of a Celestial Emperor, reigning over the world, every pore of his body emitting immeasurable light, engulfing the entire heaven and earth.

At this moment, his essence, qi, and spirit merged into one. His battle intent could cleave the sky. He advanced relentlessly, exuding an aura capable of swallowing mountains and rivers, stirring clouds in all directions!

"I've been waiting for you to show up!" Yuangu roared, transforming into a dark light and charging over. He unleashed a lethal strike immediately, without any preamble.

"Boom!"

Yuangu unleashed a punch, conjuring a "Bright Moon Rising from the Sea." Billions of azure waves surged, and a divine moon descended, engulfing the area in front, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack!

Ye Fan raised his hand, attacking like a deity. He instantly pulled up a hidden vein from underground, which stretched across the sky like a true dragon, and slammed it down.

Soil and rocks shattered as the two figures violently clashed, erupting with billions of dazzling rays of light like two suns, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

"Is this the clash of the strongest bloodlines? Indeed, no one else can compare. Anyone who goes up there will surely be turned into blood mist!"

The clash between the two was like two worlds colliding. Infinite light illuminated all directions; clouds dozens of miles away disintegrated, and this entire world cracked like fine jade.

This was a catastrophic exchange. Everyone retreated, having initially believed they were in a safe zone, but it was now clear that was far from enough. An aura of Dao transformation permeated the battlefield.

Heaven and earth were illuminated, bathed in dazzling brilliance. Two tall figures stood in opposition within, their faces unseen, only their brilliant silhouettes visible. Every strike made heaven and earth tremble!

It was as if two deities were engaged in a decisive battle. Everything else vanished, leaving only the two of them as the sole brilliance.

"Boom!"

After their final strike, they crossed paths and then ceased, standing an immense distance apart, silently observing each other.

The ten thousand feet of radiance vanished, and clarity returned to the world. The plain was shattered, riddled with scars, looking as if it had endured a great catastrophe, infinitely terrifying.

Silence reigned in all directions. Especially the elites of the younger generation felt a chill from head to toe. The disparity was too vast; to be born in the same era as these two was truly a tragedy.

How could others compete? Even at the same realm, they would likely be obliterated by a single punch from these two, without any suspense!

What it meant to have unparalleled bloodline, what it meant to be invincible among one's peers—these two provided the best interpretation. Even with similar cultivation, standing on the same peak, their combat power varied greatly from person to person.

"Just warming up my muscles and bones, not bad," Yuangu said.

In all directions, people's expressions changed. Was this not even a true battle, but merely a probing exchange? How strong would they be when they truly fought?!

"Then let's fight!" Ye Fan roared, taking the initiative. A layer of divine radiance enveloped him, as if a Celestial Emperor was awakening, swallowing mountains and rivers with his aura. His hair shone brilliantly, dancing backward as he unleashed a devastating punch forward.

"Roar..." Yuangu let out a long howl heavenward, like a demonic overlord crossing realms. His long black hair billowed as he too charged forward to kill, his eyes terrifyingly chilling.

"Boom!"

The two collided, like two vast skies collapsing. An aura of immense destruction burst forth, and both their bodies burned, radiating billions of rays of light.

"What? Neither of them is defending. Do they want to perish together?"

"It's just beginning, and they're already fighting to the death? It's too fast!"

In all directions, everyone exclaimed, their mouths agape, nervously watching it all unfold.

Ye Fan's punch seemed to pierce through the nine heavens. Various runes swirled around his golden fist and fingers, emitting a terrifying sound like the resonance of the Heavenly Dao, and immeasurable light shone everywhere.

Yuangu was no different; the aftermath of his pitch-black fist shattered mountains and the earth, turning an area dozens to hundreds of miles in circumference into a vast desert, utterly devoid of life.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Neither dodged. Wielding divine might of billions of tons, they struck each other. Ye Fan's blow pierced half of Yuangu's head, passing clean through, splattering copious amounts of blood.

And Yuangu's punch also tore through Ye Fan's chest, scattering golden sacred blood everywhere. This was a mutually destructive fighting style, shocking to behold.

Every drop of their blood, every gust from their fists, was terrifying. They shattered the earth and tore open the sky, as endless Dao patterns intertwined, creating a terrifying, deafening roar of the Great Dao, as if opening heaven and earth.

"Pfft!"

Yuangu was incredibly ruthless. With a forceful pull, he tore apart half of Ye Fan's chest. The Ancient Emperor bloodline was unparalleled in the world, surpassing all, almost equivalent to the Yuan Emperor resurrected in his youth!

"Pfft!"

However, the Human Sacred Body's physical form was comparable to that of gods. With a long roar, Ye Fan broke free, almost splitting Yuangu vertically, tearing off half of his body as large gouts of blood spurted out.
