Chapter 858: Yuan Guang Reincarnation Wheel

Nobody expected them to immediately engage in such brutal and primitive close-quarters combat. It was a bloody and unbearable scene to witness.

This was a physical clash between the Ancient Sovereign's bloodline and the Human Saint Body. At this very moment, it was being revealed which of the two physiques was superior, and who was stronger or weaker.

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed out as Yuan Gu's magnificent body was vertically split in two, flying away with a large spray of blood. The hearts of many from the Primordial tribes almost stopped beating.

How could this happen? The Grand Emperors, who once presided over the Primordial era, possessed invincible physiques capable of sweeping across three thousand realms and reversing the six paths of reincarnation. They were omnipotent.

His bloodline descendants were unparalleled, like the Young Emperor Yuan reborn, contending with the Human Saint Body. Yet, how could such a terrifying scene be unfolding before their eyes?

"Yuan Gu has been split into two!"

Both the various Ancient tribes and the Human race were in an uproar; people simply could not believe what they were seeing.

The Primordial Sovereigns could suppress all heavens with a single hand, overlooking all ages. After attaining enlightenment, they rarely encountered anyone worthy of their attention, embodying ultimate strength.

All ancient tribes knew that Yuan Gu carried the blood of Emperor Yuan. His physical body represented immortality; no one could contend with him unless another Ancient Prince intervened.

Yet, this Human Saint Body, about whom they knew little, actually achieved it. Could it be that this physique, born among humans, could contend with the young Emperor Yuan?

On Qixia Plain, a great chaos erupted. The various Primordial tribes were terrified. How had the Human race become so formidable, far surpassing their state before the Primordial era? Were they still the weak race they once were?

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Ye Fan's body also exploded. Centered on his chest, where Yuan Gu had previously punched through, it now completely collapsed, scattering golden sacred blood – a shocking sight.

People gasped; both bodies were destroyed. It was a brutal, mutually destructive outcome.

"Ye Fan!"

Li Heishui, Dongfang Ye, Li Tian, and others exclaimed. This was far too tragic; for their bodies to shatter immediately was deeply concerning, especially since Ye Fan was the Human Saint Body, unparalleled in physical form.

"The bloodline of the Primordial Sovereign is indeed unparalleled," the Black Emperor muttered to himself. "It can even shatter the Human Saint Body; it's terrifying."

"Little Ye Zi..." Ji Ziyue exclaimed, her mouth agape, her large eyes brimming with tears. A sense of dread filled her heart. As a descendant of an Ancient Great Emperor, she profoundly understood the terror of such bloodline inheritances, for her family possessed clear records regarding "Emperor's Children."

"Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel, illuminate my immortal body!"

On Qixia Plain, a low roar echoed, like an ancient evil spirit returning, breaking free from its shackles, and escaping from hell.

Between Yuan Gu's two halves, a crystal-clear and radiant treasure wheel appeared, pristine and radiating an inextinguishable light. His two halves quickly merged, and he instantly revived.

One of Emperor Yuan's secret techniques: the Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel!

It allowed him to reshape his body using the mighty power of heaven and earth, achieving immortality, reigning over the world, and becoming invulnerable to all calamities.

People gasped. How could anyone fight this? For cultivators, life was their most precious asset. Yuan Gu, with his unparalleled bloodline and such a secret technique, was simply unbeatable.

On the other side, a divine chain of order appeared, rustling as it connected all the scattered flesh and sacred blood, weaving them into a Dao principle of life.

The scattered golden blood flowed backward, and every piece of flesh reversed and returned, merging together. Ye Fan's body fused, becoming whole once more.

"Boom!"

Divine radiance permeated, rushing from his pores. He became a complete physical body, golden vital energy filling the sky, restored to his peak state. This astonished the observers as well.

Both were unharmed, instantly vibrant and full of vigor, their fighting spirit soaring even higher. They radiated boundless light, threatening to engulf heaven and earth!

"Human Saint Body, you truly exceeded my expectations!" Yuan Gu roared.

"You, however, did not exceed my expectations!" Ye Fan retorted.

An earth-shattering grand confrontation then began.

"Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel!" Yuan Gu's voice was cold, echoing like it came from an ice cellar. These words resounded across Qixia Plain.

Above his head, the treasure wheel reappeared, flying from within him. It illuminated his own immortality while causing enemies to decay. This was one of Emperor Yuan's divine arts, incredibly difficult to counter.

"Ah..."

Wherever the primordial light passed, many people's eyes bled, and they retreated in terror. If this was the effect from dozens of miles away, one could only imagine the terrifying might it possessed up close.

"Swish!"

Ye Fan vanished from his spot. The secret technique from the Heavenly Court Killing Scripture unfolded, transforming him into a God of Slaughter. The entire world turned blood-red, saturated with pervasive killing intent.

"Primordial Light Treasure Wheel, illuminating countless realms, you cannot escape!" Yuan Gu roared. The luminous disc hovered above his head, illuminating all directions and continuously annihilating the void.

It was like a roaring divine furnace standing amidst ice and snow, melting away all wind and snow, with only itself remaining eternally.

"When have I ever dodged!" Cold words echoed beside him. Ye Fan joined his fingers like a sword and struck down.

"Pfft!"

One of Yuan Gu's arms fell, blood gushing out. Yet, he didn't even blink, stating, "Emperor Yuan's blood never flows in vain."

The void trembled, and the Primordial Light Treasure Wheel descended, illuminating every drop of blood and transforming into a sea of blood that trapped Ye Fan.

A grain of sand, a world—this was a secret technique that only those with supreme power could wield.

Drop after drop of blood connected, forming a vast ocean. Qixia Plain itself became a sea of blood. Yuan Gu sat cross-legged at the center, with the Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel above his head, and began to silently chant spells, intending to refine Ye Fan.

"The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things..."

A green lotus swayed, rooted in the sea of blood, accompanying Ye Fan. He also sat cross-legged, enveloped in chaotic energy. The three-leaf Bitter Sea Green Lotus, like an embodiment of the Dao, drew power from the blood sea, refining Yuan Gu in return.

Yuan Gu let out a cold snort and suddenly opened his eyes. Holding the Primordial Light Reincarnation Wheel, he emitted rays of death light, suppressing Ye Fan. The cosmos in all ten directions collapsed, and incessant rumbling filled the air.

Amidst the resonant Dao chants, an Immortal King ascended behind Ye Fan, sitting high on the ninth heaven and overlooking the vast earth. He extended a large hand downwards, attempting to obliterate the Primordial Light Treasure Wheel.

Clanging sounds resounded as if ten thousand heavenly swords were unleashed simultaneously. Each ray of death light shot from the Primordial Light Reincarnation Treasure Wheel was tens to hundreds of feet long, slicing towards the Immortal King.

Ye Fan roared loudly, his body merging with the Immortal King. Holding a green lotus, he stepped down from the ninth heaven, waving the three-leaf Dao Lotus. With continuous clanging sounds, he shattered all ten thousand heavenly swords.

Holding the green lotus, he struck the Primordial Light Reincarnation Treasure Wheel. A cracking sound echoed, the primordial light dimmed as if disintegrating, and black death light splattered.

However, the three-leaf Dao Lotus in Ye Fan's hand, an embodiment of the Dao, was wreathed in chaotic energy. It blocked all the dark light, becoming even more verdant and glistening.

"Crack!"

The Primordial Light Reincarnation Treasure Wheel cracked open, showing numerous fissures, then burst with a "pop." Though formed by Dao principles, capable of gathering and dissipating unpredictably, and able to reappear, Yuan Gu's expression still changed.

"Slap!"

Ye Fan, merged with the Immortal King, continuously swung the green lotus, striking Yuan Gu's body. Even his powerful Imperial bloodline body could not withstand it; he almost cracked open and was sent tumbling several times.

This was no ordinary injury, for it was inflicted by the Dao Lotus and was very difficult to heal. It made him cough up several mouthfuls of black blood, forcing him to quickly retreat and manifest the Reincarnation Wheel for healing.

"Divine Domain!"

Yuan Gu roared, stabilizing his disadvantage. His body emitted hundreds of millions of rays of light, forming a divine domain. Within this ten-foot space, he was like a god; heaven and earth obeyed his command, and everything revolved around him.

"Swish!"

Ye Fan retreated, his entire body also radiating boundless light. A golden spherical domain appeared as his exclusive Saint Domain activated, rendering all techniques ineffective against him and allowing him to stand independently within it.

Each in their own domain, the two radiated billions of divine rays, scattering across every inch of the void, making this part of heaven and earth luminous and brilliant. They became incredibly sacred and majestic.

"Boom!"

The great battle recommenced. The two divine domains collided, and a fierce confrontation began. They transformed into two streaks of lightning, leaving shattered mountains and rivers and widespread devastation wherever they passed.

The mountains were like paper, fragile and vulnerable. They fought from Qixia Plain into the desolate mountain range, as if creating a new universe and destroying all old order. Entire mountain ranges flew up, shattered by the aftershocks in the sky.

The battle between the two spread widely, captivating everyone's hearts. People followed closely, anxiously watching from afar. This battle had raged from early morning, when the dawn glow first appeared, until noon, with over a thousand rounds already fought.

Dazzling glows, brilliant lights, and mysterious Dao principles emerged one after another in an endless array, an inexhaustible display of marvelous techniques that left everyone dazzled.

"Clang!"

A soft clang suddenly pierced through all light and sound. A divine sword, about an inch long, appeared between Yuan Gu's brows, dazzling, piercingly bright, and clanging.

"What? Is that a Saint's sword, or an Ancient Sovereign's secret weapon?"

Everyone's expression changed, for they felt an eerie power. Even before the divine sword was fully unleashed, its sword waves had already destroyed countless mountains and lands.

In all directions, countless mountains had turned to dust, transforming into deserts and ceasing to exist permanently. The killing intent extinguished all life, turning the area into barren land.

"It's not a weapon; it's a secret technique from the scriptures written by Emperor Yuan—the Emperor Yuan Dao Sword!" a member of the Imperial family from the Primordial Lake stated coldly, brimming with confidence.

This was not a weapon, but a divine principle of order that had evolved and materialized into the shape of a sword. Its essence was the Dao, hence it was called the Emperor Yuan Dao Sword, and its destructive power was terrifying and unparalleled through all ages.

"It finally appeared," a Primordial creature muttered to itself. "This must be the forbidden marvelous technique from the scriptures left by Emperor Yuan. Everyone who saw it in the past died!"

"Pfft!"

As expected, nothing could stop it. The inch-long Emperor Yuan Dao Sword swept through everything, piercing the Golden Saint Domain with a single strike. It embedded itself in Ye Fan's shoulder, passing through and drawing out a large shower of golden blood.

"Clang!"

The Emperor Yuan Dao Sword flew out, then turned back and struck down vertically. Ye Fan extended both hands, clamping the sword, attempting to shatter it.

However, the inch-long dazzling Dao Sword was not a physical entity. At this moment, it transformed into a divine chain of order, shattering the void and nearly severing Ye Fan's hand by turning it into part of a law, leaving it bloody.

The Art of Soldiers!

Ye Fan joined his hands, emitting boundless radiance. With a "clang," he merged with this Dao Sword, holding it in his hand and charging directly at Yuan Gu, transforming into a divine ray.

Yuan Gu roared, his hair disheveled, forming a hand seal and blasting it outwards, saying, "You gravely underestimate the Emperor Yuan Dao Sword!"

Ye Fan's hand melted under the Dao Sword, but his own laws were also unleashed. The Art of Soldiers not only temporarily resisted the Emperor Yuan Dao Sword but also transformed his very being into a weapon.

"You..." Yuan Gu yelled. Ye Fan, like a peerless heavenly sword, passed through his body, causing black blood to splatter everywhere.

The Primordial Light Reincarnation Treasure Wheel appeared. Ye Fan extended a large hand forward to grab it, and a large foot stomped downwards. His body radiated boundless light, giving Yuan Gu no chance to reincarnate. With a "pfft," he landed on Yuan Gu's cracked chest, stomping his body into pieces.

The sheer overwhelming power was truly unexpected.
