Chapter 975: Great Archer Yi Shooting the Suns Divine Treasure

This bronze seal was extraordinary, with nine lifelike true dragons coiled around it. Patches of mottled green rust were peeling away, and the weapon's spirit had awakened autonomously. It contained a profound dragon's might, capable of shattering the heavens and earth.

In the distance, mountains and rivers rumbled and trembled, many of them collapsing. Magma surged out in numerous places, rocketing skyward, creating an astonishing and immense spectacle.

“We can’t resist it head-on!”

The expressions of several young prodigies changed. They knew the terrifying power of this ancient artifact, as many legends surrounded it. They worried deeply for Ye Fan and were simultaneously enraged.

Not long ago, Ye Fan had spoken of taking them to the West to retrieve several ancestral artifacts from the Central Lands. This had filled them with such excitement and anticipation that they could not calm down, but now he was being ambushed midway.

Ye Fan’s expression was calm and composed, devoid of any fear. He opened his palm and slowly pressed it towards the sky, intending to confront it with his physical body!

Bang!

The resurrected Nine Dragon Holy Bronze Seal emitted boundless light, with nine true dragons vaguely visible coiling around it. It simultaneously pressed down on the golden hand, unleashing vast waves of power that roared incessantly.

This was an astonishing sight, as if thousands of great waterfalls were cascading down, deafeningly. Streaks of energy hung high in the sky, engulfing Ye Fan’s mountain-like hand.

The green Holy Bronze Seal, as tall as a mountain, vibrated ceaselessly, attempting to crush Ye Fan's palm into pulp. Above it, the nine bronze dragons seemed to come alive, coiling and dancing, detaching from the seal itself and surging outwards.

True Dragons Entrapping Deities!

This was a legend associated with the great seal: the nine dragons could leave the artifact, manifest their true forms, and entangle powerful foes, strangling them to death. This was an entanglement of the Dao, containing profound principles and the Great Dao.

Ye Fan’s expression remained unchanged. His palm and fingers contracted, forming the Heaven-Overturning Seal, a powerful technique he had mastered. His palm transformed into a golden great seal, smashing towards the nine true dragons.

Seal against Seal!

Blazing light flickered. The Nine Dragons, uniting with the Dao, emitted trembling sounds that rumbled like a tsunami, yet they could not withstand the Heaven-Overturning Seal. Two were instantly broken, while the rest wailed and retreated back into the bronze seal.

A soft cry came from within the ancient killing array. The weapon spirit of this ancient artifact revived, capable of independent attack. It evolved once more, sending sword energy soaring skyward.

Each true dragon coiled on the seal, and at this moment, they all opened their mouths, spewing forth radiant mists that transformed into heaven-piercing sword energy, slashing horizontally and vertically.

“This is terrifying!” Zhan Yifan was shocked. As a sword cultivator, he was most sensitive to this heaven-piercing sword energy and felt an inexplicable chill.

In the current era, once such sword energy appeared, it was virtually invincible. Who could possibly stop it?

Because this treasure required no human control and could attack enemies autonomously, in this Age of Dharma Decline, it could be considered a world-shaking weapon of mass destruction!

It was too heaven-defying; a single sweep could devastate an area, potentially causing rivers of blood and mountains of corpses in the cultivation world.

“Wasn’t this treasure lost back then? How did it reappear?” Little Celestial Master Zhang Qingyang muttered to himself in shock.

Kunlun Shuangyu and Phoenix Celestial Maiden also changed their expressions. Once this kind of weapon of mass destruction appeared, it truly became invincible; any sect leader who encountered it would surely die, without question.

Ye Fan remained unmoved, his eyes deep. His hands moved rapidly, directly manifesting the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!

He let out a clear whistle, emitting a stream of energy like a long rainbow piercing the sun, tens of meters long, then punched towards the sky.

Crack!

This golden fist seemed to shake the heavens, accompanied by a blinding sea of lightning. The nine heavens themselves appeared to be falling, overwhelming all creation!

In the sky, the ancient artifact, renowned since antiquity, instantly shattered. The nine dragon heads were severed, the bronze seal cracked, and then instantly disintegrated.

A king-level artifact was destroyed by his single punch! People were utterly speechless, barely able to believe what they saw; it was simply too shocking.

Several young prodigies were too stunned to speak, their bodies breaking out in goosebumps. Just how strong was this mysterious young master? This was a legendary artifact, renowned in ancient times, capable of suppressing the Holy Masters of various sects, yet it had been destroyed in such a manner.

At Nine Heavens Myriad Blessings Palace, several sect leaders who had not yet departed were startled. Upon learning of the changes outside, they all rushed out of the pure land, but mistakenly entered this ancient killing array. They happened to witness this scene and stood there like clay or wooden figures, utterly transfixed.

“It... it was shattered just like that,” Long Xiaoque muttered to herself, staring blankly.

“If you like it, I, your master, will give you an even better bronze seal in the future,” Ye Fan said, retracting the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist and turning back.

Everyone who heard this was stunned; he simply didn't care. Facing a supreme killing intent, he remained utterly calm.

The sect leaders gathered around. They had inexplicably fallen into the ancient killing array and felt the gravity of the situation. Ye Fan had just displayed immense power not long ago, yet as soon as he descended the mountain, someone ambushed him. How incredibly audacious and brazen was this?

“Which fellow Daoist has arrived, and why resort to such a grand display of force?” demanded the sect leader of the Shangqing Sect. This was on Maoshan territory, which they considered a great disrespect.

“This has nothing to do with you; retreat quickly!” a cold shout came.

The ancient killing array activated, and streams of terrifying killing intent transformed into unparalleled sharp edges, striking forth and piercing the sky.

Their target: Ye Fan!

Mountains and rivers shifted, the terrain transforming. Many ancient weapons flew forth like a rain of light; though not divine artifacts, they were still terrifying, dense and countless, filling the sky.

Tens of thousands of weapons shot out. The mountains and terrain merged into one, and surging dragon qi empowered the various ancient weapons—this was the true power of the array.

When it reached a certain level of complexity, the mountains, earth, vast seas, sky, and even the sun, moon, and stars could be utilized, unleashing the mighty power of nature and the Heavenly Dao.

The ancient grand array, combining with the forces of heaven and earth, activated various ancient weapons to suppress Ye Fan, intending to crush him into a bloody pulp and reduce him to dust. The assault was world-shaking.

Ye Fan’s expression subtly changed. This was an array designed to trap kings, indicating that the perpetrator held him in very high regard, not wanting to give him a single chance, aiming for an absolute kill!

With a flick of his hand, he conjured dozens of large banners and planted them into the soil, stabilizing the ten directions and preventing the killing array in this area from functioning.

This was using an array to break an array. These were the array banners the Black Emperor had given him back then, which he hadn't used much, but now they came in handy.

An area of several hundred zhang around them was stabilized; the ancient killing array could not operate, unable to affect them!

In fact, if it were just Ye Fan, he wouldn't even need to use the array banners; he primarily feared that the person in the shadows would attack the sect leaders and nominal disciples.

“Next year today will be your death anniversary. I’ll send you on your way!”

At this moment, a tall figure, appearing like a demonic body, emerged on a distant high mountain. He drew his bow and notched an arrow, emitting sounds like wind and thunder as he shot it towards them!

This was a blazing divine rainbow, shaking heaven and earth. As soon as it appeared, the sky collapsed and the earth split; more than half of the distant mountains were destroyed, possessing immense and unfathomable power.

Fortunately, this was a self-contained space created by the ancient killing array. If it were outside, it would cause immense disaster, its destructive power far too great!

Pfft!

This arrow’s speed was too fast; with a slight oversight, Ye Fan was unable to dodge it. He used his golden palm to block it, emitting surging blood energy accompanied by roars!

However, much to his surprise, as the furious arrow shot forth, mountains and rivers lost their color, and the sun and moon lost their light. Its immense power utterly surpassed imagination, vast beyond belief.

Pfft!

Golden blood splattered. Ye Fan’s right palm was pierced through as this strange divine arrow shot through, carrying with it a large spray of golden blood, a truly shocking sight.

It was hard to imagine what kind of divine artifact this was, for it had actually pierced through Ye Fan’s palm, leaving a bloody hole before flying away.

Even the formidable physique of a Human Sacred Body couldn't block it!

Ye Fan retreated, mobilizing his full cultivation and elevating his physical body and spiritual perception to their peak. He treated it as a battle of life and death, no longer daring to underestimate it.

Though the ancient saints had departed, that didn’t mean there was no danger, as sacred artifacts might still be left behind!

Although Earth had entered the Age of Dharma Decline, formidable weapons still existed. If he were careless, he truly might suffer a great loss.

“Oh no, this is that legendary ancient artifact, one capable of slaughtering ten realms!” The expressions of the sect leaders all changed.

They loudly warned Ye Fan to dodge and not confront it directly. However, this object was like a shadow, impossible to shake off, constantly pursuing Ye Fan.

“This is from the leftover materials of the nine sacred arrows forged by Great Yi before he shot down the suns. Later generations cast two more arrows from it, capable of destroying heaven and earth; no one can contend with them!” Daoist Qiri reminded them in shock.

Thankfully, it wasn’t shot by an ancient Great Saint, otherwise it might have pierced the sun, moon, and stars, and a single arrow would have been enough to explode an ancient star!

Pfft!

Another soft sound was heard. Ye Fan’s body swayed as he used his palm and fingers to directly strike the arrow. His entire body trembled violently, the web between his thumb and forefinger split open, and blood flowed freely.

“It’s useless. This arrow won't stop until it kills its target. You can go die now!” the person on the distant mountain said coldly.

Ye Fan’s eyes grew cold. This was the first time he had been injured since returning to Earth. He activated the “Line” character secret, rushing through the ancient killing array and rapidly pressing forward.

It could be said that no one in this current world could match his speed. He transformed into a golden sacred light, streaking across the earth, and appeared on that mountain.

The moment Ye Fan ascended the mountain peak, he made a decisive and ruthless move, his golden palm and fingers sweeping forward. The entire mountain began to collapse, and the person reacted with extreme speed, employing a rare movement technique to shift sideways.

Fish Leaps into Dragon!

This was an ancient secret art that allowed one to achieve ultimate sublimation in an instant, pushing one’s agility to an extreme and unleashing their full potential.

He traversed several miles, but to his horror, Ye Fan’s “Line” character secret could always maintain the same extreme speed, far surpassing his moment of peak performance, making him impossible to shake off.

A large golden hand reached out, pressing him forward. Below, numerous towering mountains were collapsing, great peaks crumbling like piles of sand, rumbling into dust!

This was a terrifying sight: mountains collapsed upon contact, seas dried up, the sky shattered upon touch; nothing could obstruct that massive hand.

Behind them, the sect leaders and young prodigies stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a single word. Ye Fan’s heaven-shaking methods shocked them, comparable to those of an ancient God of War!

Furthermore, that enemy also surprised them greatly: he was actually a great divine abilities practitioner in the Immortal Terrace realm, a peerless figure of this era.

This person let out another long roar, undergoing ultimate sublimation; his body nearly ignited, emitting dazzling light, as he once again unleashed the Fish Leaps into Dragon secret art!

He was expending his life potential, trying to escape this killing calamity, and his body instantly traversed several more miles. However, to his horror, this time it was utterly useless. The golden hand lightly vibrated, and though it didn’t strike him directly, the aftershock impacted him.

Boom!

In the self-contained world of the ancient supreme array, entire mountain ranges collapsed. Mountains, ancient trees, massive rocks, and more were all reduced to dust. Although he quickly dodged, the powerful aftershock struck, immediately ripping open his skull and flinging it over nine feet high.

“You…” His eyes filled with shock and terror; he couldn’t believe this outcome.

Blood bloomed and flowed down from the top of his head, mixed with brain matter, blurring his eyes. His skull fell with a thud at his feet.

This was a horrifying scene!

He was a powerful expert in the Immortal Terrace realm; it was impossible for him to die instantly like this. He screamed in terror.

Ye Fan approached like a god or demon, his expression cold. He said, “The divine treasure of Great Yi, who shot down the suns, is difficult to destroy, so I’ll eliminate you first.”

At this moment, he learned this person’s identity and origin.
