Chapter 861: The Gaze of All Races

Chapter 863: The Attention of All Races

The Yuanxu Realm was ravaged and gloomy, a desolate wasteland reminiscent of a post-apocalyptic world. Divine chains of order clanked, densely interwoven into shimmering lines. These were the tangible forms of the Dao; any primordial spirit that touched them would be instantly annihilated.

A deep bell wave resounded. The great bell above Yuangu's head took a direct hit, almost shattering and developing cracks. He parried with the war-halberd in his hand, colliding with the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, finally blocking the killing blow.

"Your technique is broken! Let's see what other methods you have!" Yuangu roared. Brilliance erupted beneath his feet as he stepped on the chains of order, causing the entire void to crystallize.

Chains of laws, like translucent true dragons, wove towards Ye Fan, intending to bind him within the Yuanxu Realm and utterly suppress him.

"The Dao is boundless; this is only the beginning. There's no talk of being broken or unbroken," the golden figure calmly stated. The cauldron in his embrace rose and hovered above his head, showering down strands of light to protect him.

This was the first time anyone had retreated unscathed from Ye Fan's attack, a testament to Yuangu's profound cultivation. Yet, Ye Fan showed no alarm.

Clang, clang...

Every chain clanked, piercing the void and strangling Ye Fan. Divine fires of order burned, capable of destroying all primordial spirits, leaving nothing immortal.

Buzz...

Ye Fan swiftly dodged, then secretly activated the "Soldier" character secret art, aiming to make the great bell and iron halberd backfire on Yuangu. However, a Daoist hum resonated, only slightly shaking them a few times. They were not primordial spirit weapons but formed from interwoven divine chains of order, not physical bell and halberd. Yuangu must have had deep misgivings about Ye Fan's weapon control art.

Clatter...

Hundreds of strands of law chains appeared, the forbidden secret technique of Emperor Yuan. Each divine chain of order was crystal clear, imbued with peerless killing intent. These individual chains of law formed the Primordial Order Killing Array—an extreme imperial art!

Falling into this divine order array made escape exceedingly difficult, almost impossible. It was a sure-kill technique from the final chapter of the Primordial Emperor's secret arts! Of course, limited by his cultivation and realm, Yuangu could not lay down the complete Primordial Imperial Law Chains, but even so, it was extremely terrifying, making survival difficult for anyone trapped in the Order Killing Array.

However, Ye Fan remained unharmed. He moved like a phantom, his golden figure employing the "Movement" character secret art, navigating through the "myriad threads" of Dao and avoiding all calamities.

"You..."

Yuangu's face fell in great shock. He had once tested this by fighting a great accomplished king from his clan, trapping him in the Yuanxu Realm with no possibility of escape.

The "Movement" character secret art shone brilliantly, twinkling amidst the Dao diagrams formed by interwoven divine chains of order. Ye Fan constantly turned peril into safety, pressing ever closer.

"How can this be?!"

Yuangu felt his strength was useless. How many people could activate such divine chains of order? Even those who had severed their Dao could barely wield them, let alone so many! This should have been a killing blow, but the opponent lightly evaded it. The destructive power shredded the void, yet it could not harm the opponent in the slightest.

Boom!

The golden figure's entire body burned with golden battle energy. Holding the God-Striking Whip and with the precious cauldron above his head, he crossed the Dao principles and charged forward.

The primordial spirit battle was fierce and surging. The two turned into streaks of lightning, fighting non-stop. Yuangu recalled all the laws, densely arraying them around his body. However, he still could not reverse the decline, being restrained by the God-Striking Whip in Ye Fan's hand. Although he possessed primordial spirit weapons, he feared the "Soldier" character secret art and dared not use them.

With one side charging forward without hesitation and the other filled with apprehension, the battle was naturally one-sided and could end at any moment.

Boom!

In the end, Yuangu still used his primordial spirit weapons. The great bell and iron halberd reappeared, though they were entwined with divine chains rather than directly activated.

Dong...

The golden figure grew braver with each strike, wielding the God-Striking Whip and smashing the crimson great bell into fragments that fell to the ground.

Clang, clang, clang!

The iron halberd collided with the God-Striking Whip, sending sparks flying, before finally breaking and being utterly destroyed. Yuangu let out a loud cry as the divine chains of order wrapped around him were forcibly torn apart by Ye Fan, transforming into streaks of light and dissipating.

Buzz...

The primordial spirit merged with the Dao. Finally, the golden figure, embracing the cauldron, moved again, transforming into the ultimate, eternal light, and time and space seemed to stand still.

Pffft!

The golden figure, embracing the cauldron, descended, transforming into a Dao point detached from the world. It shattered half of Yuangu's primordial spirit into dust, which then dissipated as a rain of light.

"Ah..."

Yuangu screamed in agony, the remaining half of his body swiftly retreating as all the divine chains of order in the sky shattered, transforming into a sea of Dao. The golden figure also had to retreat, swiftly moving away and rushing into the center of his physical body's brows, where it sat cross-legged on the Immortal Platform to guard everything within himself.

Boom!

The Yuanxu Realm collapsed, no longer able to imprison Ye Fan's physical body. He found himself standing back on Qixia Plain, while Yuangu, opposite him, was clutching his head and writhing.

The battle had raged until now, for what seemed like thousands of rounds. By this time, the red sun had already set in the west, and the evening glow, stained as if with blood, had appeared.

"What?! Yuangu is defeated! His glabella is cracked; clearly his primordial spirit suffered a destructive blow."

Everyone was stunned. Just moments ago, Yuangu had displayed a secret technique recorded in Emperor Yuan's final chapter. They never expected him to suffer such a crushing defeat and injure his foundation. This battle was clearly about to conclude.

"Little Ye Zi..." Ji Ziyue cried tears of joy. She had been incredibly worried just moments before, and now, with tears on her face, she cheered from a distance.

"Good! Finally, Yuangu will be killed! So what if he's of ancient emperor bloodline? In the end, he still lost!" Li Heishui clenched his fists, finally letting out a breath of resentment after barely escaping death from being hunted in the past.

"He won..." Yi Shengzi murmured to himself, his hair crystalline, dressed in white, ethereal and transcendent. No one knew what he was thinking.

On the demon race side, the Crimson Dragon Daoist showed a trace of a relieved smile. Yan Ruyu also watched quietly, her expression subtly shifting, breathtakingly beautiful in the evening glow.

Many experts from various Holy Lands were all moved. This battle was witnessed by all: Yuangu's secret technique was extremely terrifying; if Ye Fan had not broken it, anyone else would have been bitterly defeated—even kings would have died! Even the people of Jade Lake, who had always been aloof and detached from worldly disputes, now showed expressions of surprise. The Jade Lake Saintess' beautiful eyes shimmered with light as she gazed at the figure on the battlefield.

At this moment, Ye Fan stood on Qixia Plain, illuminated by the evening glow. His entire body radiated divine splendor, appearing even more majestic and awe-inspiring, like an emperor descending to the mortal world.

All the primordial races were greatly shaken. Had the Human Race's Sacred Body grown so powerful? Defeating even an ancient emperor's bloodline sent chills down everyone's spines.

The people of Primeval Lake were the most shocked. Every single one of them stood dumbfounded in the field; even the Ancestor King who had come with them was speechless and silent.

"In ancient times, Emperor Yuan cut down his most powerful foe here. Today, you too can forge your own invincible imperial path, because you are Emperor Yuan's descendant!" A person from Primeval Lake suddenly roared, his voice shaking the ten directions.

All the primordial tribes roared, and from all directions, countless others joined the clamor. The entire Qixia Plain was engulfed by this astonishing sound. This was a terrifying roar that made people tremble; the entire Qixia Plain was shaking!

"Ha... hahaha..." Suddenly, Ye Fan looked up and burst into laughter. His entire body, including his hair, emitted a crystalline light. Especially standing in the setting sun, his physique was outlined with a golden edge, making his silhouette appear even taller and more magnificent, exuding an aura capable of swallowing mountains and rivers.

Everyone stopped roaring, and Qixia Plain suddenly fell silent. Countless gazes were fixed on him, and there was absolute silence.

"I have not yet severed my Dao," Ye Fan calmly uttered, his words echoing across the entire plain.

"He hasn't severed his Dao yet!"

It was unknown who followed with that remark, which immediately shocked everyone. Indeed, Ye Fan, with his Immortal Stage Two cultivation, fiercely fought Yuangu and ultimately triumphed!

"Ancient Emperor bloodline... nothing more than this." Was that what he implied without speaking? Everyone was stunned!

"If the Human Race's Sacred Body severs his Dao, killing Yuangu would be like slaughtering a dog!" Pang Bo roared from the crowd, like igniting a live volcano, and Qixia Plain immediately erupted.

Under the gaze of all!

At this moment, everyone's gaze converged on the valiant and upright young man in the field. Every person was moved, filled with shock, as if gazing upon a deity.

Every pore on Ye Fan's body was spewing auspicious light, covering him in a layer of sacred radiance. He walked across the plain, approaching Yuangu step by step. His footsteps echoed in everyone's hearts, rhythmic and resonating like heavenly drums.
