Chapter 264 - 156: Myriad Immortals Bow Down, All Hailing the Celestial Destiny Emperor

Just then.

HUM!

The void suddenly tore open.

A single footstep, like the beating of a war drum, instantly thundered in Ye Bufan’s ears.

The moment that footstep sounded, Ye Bufan instinctively felt a lethal sense of crisis envelop his entire body.

His pupils shrank. Without a second thought, he abandoned Shangguan Xiyue and Liu Yuzhen, his figure retreating several miles in an instant to hang suspended high in the sky.

A boundless Blood Sea shrouded his body, shot through with the surging aura of clashing golden weapons.

It was as if he had transformed into a mighty army, emanating infinite combat power!

"The weak... We who seek immortality and the Dao, exploring Heaven and Earth, are but a drop in the vast ocean. In that sense, who isn’t weak?"

As the voice rang out, Ye Bufan felt the void tremble across ten thousand miles.

It was as if an invisible net had spread between Heaven and Earth.

And everyone was caught within it, with no way to escape!

"It is because we are weak that we have the potential to become strong. It is because we are weak that we have the drive to advance."

"You believe that because others are weaker than you, you have the right to bully them."

"In my eyes, you are weak as well. Does that mean I can crush you just as easily?!"

A figure tore through the void and appeared before Shangguan Xiyue and Liu Yuzhen.

A faint Dao Charm flowed out, enveloping Shangguan Xiyue and Liu Yuzhen.

In an instant, their injuries began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Young Master!"

"Ninth Brother!"

Seeing the upright figure who had torn through the void to arrive, the faces of Shangguan Xiyue and Liu Yuzhen lit up.

The former, especially, couldn’t suppress her excitement; it was as if a colossal weight had finally been lifted from her heart.

"Yes. You’ve worked hard."

Wang Xiao’s tone was calm.

He truly hadn’t expected this. He had failed to get into the Confucian Academy, the place he most wanted to go.

Instead, the other two Holy Lands had come looking for him, one after another.

Ye Bufan stared at Wang Xiao, his eyes narrowing slightly as he sensed the faint fluctuations of a Law emanating from him.

He forced himself to calm his Heart Spirit and let out a booming laugh:

"I’ve long heard that even before the Celestial Destiny Emperor achieved his Dao, he was already unrivaled among his peers. Seeing you today, I see your reputation is well-deserved!"

Wang Xiao’s gaze fell upon Ye Bufan, his expression unreadable.

Swept up in the Torrent of Destiny, he already knew everything that had happened.

TWANG!

The cry of a sword rang out.

The Celestial Destiny Sword was in his grasp.

His calm voice drifted into Ye Bufan’s ears.

"Survive one strike from my sword, and you may leave."

Hearing such a condescending, disdainful tone, Ye Bufan’s rage instantly ignited. The boundless Blood Sea around him began to churn violently.

"Fine! Good! It seems I’m being underestimated!"

"An Immortal Emperor... Do you really think you’re supreme and invincible? You want to kill me with a single strike? Heh. Today, I’d like to see for myself if an Immortal Emperor can truly dominate the world and sweep aside all foes!"

The moment his words fell, the surging combat power within him erupted.

The Blood Sea roiled, and the clash of ten thousand weapons rang out.

A blood-red spear materialized in his hand.

The spear shifted, transforming into sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

It was as if he controlled every weapon of slaughter in the world!

"Kill!"

Ye Bufan stomped hard on the void, shattering it and creating a sonic boom!

His entire being stirred the boundless Blood Sea, churning the clouds for a thousand miles. The weapon in his hand reverted to a blood-red spear as he charged violently toward Wang Xiao!

’Three Techniques combined as one... he does have some skill. A pity his control is so crude!’

Wang Xiao’s gaze was sharp.

He could already tell that this Ye Bufan had achieved the three Great Daos of Slaughter, Weaponry, and Power.

Unfortunately, his application of these three Great Daos was still at the most basic level.

He was constantly consuming his own essence, burning it to the limit—a method that harmed the enemy, but also himself.

That was why his killing intent was so immense.

If he didn’t adjust his methods soon, even without Wang Xiao’s intervention, he would quickly burn himself out and wouldn’t even live for a thousand years.

Of course, even so, his combat power was sufficient to crush ordinary Earth Immortals, even Immortal Monarchs at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm.

He was indeed worthy of the title Immortal Emperor.

"You just got lucky and comprehended the Immortal Emperor’s Law! What right do you have to criticize me!"

The moment Ye Bufan’s voice fell, his spear was already upon Wang Xiao, thrusting forward fiercely!

HSSS!

Infinite power poured out, shattering the void!

The boundless Blood Sea and the aura of clashing weapons gave off an air of slaughter, sealing off Heaven and Earth in all directions.

Wang Xiao watched Ye Bufan and shook his head, seeming to slowly raise his sword.

But in truth, in the ten-thousandth of a moment it took to lift his hand, the Celestial Destiny Sword had already slashed out horizontally!

SHIING!

Endless Dao Power poured into the Celestial Destiny Sword.

The sun and moon upon it abruptly manifested.

Looking closely, one could see it was filled with profound patterns, through which a potent Dao Charm flowed.

The moment the light and heat it emitted appeared, the boundless Blood Sea surrounding Ye Bufan melted away like spring snow.

At the same time, a sharp, golden Sword Shadow—containing within it mountains, rivers, cities, and plants, encompassing an entire world—flew out to meet Ye Bufan’s spear!

BOOM!

The golden Sword Shadow instantly transformed into countless smaller sword shadows.

These innumerable smaller sword shadows were then linked by a thread of Destiny, forming a net of swords that abruptly enveloped Ye Bufan’s spear!

HSSS!

Within the sword net of Destiny, the spear unleashed endless power, thrashing left and right, but it was completely unable to break free.

Instead, it was continuously cut and worn down by the sword shadows!

"How is this possible?! What is this power?!"

Ye Bufan was suddenly alarmed.

His condensed weapon of slaughter, combined with his endless power, had always been invincible.
