Chapter 899

A disciple of the Hua family of Taixuan Sect was stunned.

"Overwhelming, truly overwhelming—Xiang Yifei is no doubt the Holy Son of Dayan Sacred Ground; his cultivation base is profoundly unfathomable. Of course, the Ancient Sacred Body Ye Fan is also incredibly strong—his Sea of Qi is golden, with lightning and thunder flickering within—truly miraculous."

"I wonder who will prevail in this duel? I hope it's Ye Fan—only the Ancient Sacred Body could possibly rival and stand against the Holy Sons of the major sacred grounds."

"Let's wait and see. Look— the Sacred Body is countering! Heaven, how powerful is that green lotus in the Sacred Body's hands?"

The disciples of Taixuan Sect watched intently; the Holy Masters of the major sacred grounds and their accompanying disciples also observed closely, seeing Ye Fan, enveloped in his golden Sea of Qi, wielding a green lotus, charging into the Dayan Holy Sword of Xiang Yifei.

The lotus shimmered like green mist and smoke, blurring in Ye Fan's hands as it carved out countless green shadows—yet it was terrifyingly fearsome; wherever it passed, the Dayan Holy Sword shattered like plastic, snapping apart at the slightest touch of the lotus.

"Puff," "puff"…

Ye Fan, wielding the lotus, slashed repeatedly; Xiang Yifei's face revealed shock—his Dayan Holy Sword had been shattered.

"The Sacred Body's Sea of Qi is golden—it can manifest an invincible defensive phenomenon, or unleash peerless attacks. Xiang Yifei is now at a disadvantage."

"It seems the Ancient Sacred Body has truly crossed the Four Extremities Secret Realm—his current power is terrifying. Is that his phenomenon—the Chaos Seed Green Lotus? Truly unmatched in offense and destruction."

"Ah…"

Xiang Yifei let out a long roar, golden qi surging skyward; he swung his golden holy sword and launched his most ferocious assault—but within Ye Fan's golden Sea of Qi phenomenon, Ye Fan stood as an absolute sovereign, unshakable.

No golden holy sword could draw near; when Ye Fan advanced, Xiang Yifei felt intense peril.

Far away, the crowd was stunned—Xiang Yifei, the Dayan Holy Son, was unquestionably among the elite of Holy Sons, and the Dayan Holy Sword was the pinnacle technique of the Dayan Sacred Ground—yet before Ye Fan, it proved utterly powerless.

The Zi Fu Holy Son was surrounded by swirling purple aura, like a purple heavenly king; his expression was solemn, his eyes deep and profound.

The Wan Chu Holy Maiden was also astonished—she had not expected the Ancient Sacred Body to wield such heavenly methods, shattering the Dayan Holy Son's ultimate technique so easily.

Only Hua Yunfei, the peerless genius of Taixuan Sect, remained calm; clad in blue robes, he sat quietly beside the Master of Star Peak.

"Dayan Holy Scripture!"

Xiang Yifei unleashed fully; golden light intensified around him, boundless sword qi emerging from his body to block Ye Fan's assault.

"Boom."

In Ye Fan's hand appeared a yin fish and a yang fish, entwined together, forming a Taiji diagram, flowing with the aura of the Dao; the entire heavens and earth seemed to tremble.

Boom—boom—

At that moment, Ye Fan used the Battle Saint Art to manifest the Taiji Dao; the yin and yang fish surged skyward, spewing true yang and yin forces, instantly blasting Xiang Yifei flying.

The Dayan Holy Son spat blood continuously, trembling in midair.

"What? Even the supreme technique of the Dayan Sacred Ground—the Dayan Holy Scripture—has been crushed? How is this possible?"

"He understands the Dao of Yin and Yang? Can the Sacred Body truly possess such profound insight into the Dao?"

"That's not surprising—don't forget he's spent these days with the Chaos Body Fang Yu. The Chaos Body's one method unlocks all methods; the Sacred Body merely learned a little, yet could already wield such divine art."

"This Sacred Body is also an overwhelming presence—his physical body was already immensely strong, and now he wields Dao techniques and divine arts. Xiang Yifei is in serious trouble."

"It's not just Xiang Yifei in trouble—likely all the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens are in trouble. The rise of the Sacred Body will trouble everyone."

Before all eyes, Ye Fan unleashed the Taiji Dao, turning his hands—one black as ink, one white as jade—transforming into the yin and yang divine points of the Taiji Dao, representing an eternal, unchanging law.

"Boom—boom—"

The heavens and earth erupted with thunderous force and grand motion—but not a single blade of grass or tree was harmed, for Fang Yu had already suppressed all with his Five-Colored Divine Light; unless one's cultivation surpassed his, even if the battle raged until the Dao itself was worn to dust, not a single tree would die.

Yet Xiang Yifei suffered a terrifying Dao assault—his entire being was ground down by the Taiji Dao; he was blasted backward, spitting blood, drenched in crimson, unable to fight further.

"Puff!"

The Dayan Holy Son spat blood repeatedly, grievously wounded.

"Yifei!"

The Dayan Holy Master could no longer sit still.

"No need to worry—it's just minor injuries."

Fang Yu smiled; from the Five-Colored Divine Light suppressing that space, a wisp of green wood qi flowed forth, illuminating both Ye Fan and Xiang Yifei. Instantly, their essence and energy surged back to full strength; Xiang Yifei, who had suffered severe injuries, was fully healed by the green light, his essence and energy restored to peak condition.

"What?"

All onlookers felt disbelief—only Xiang Yifei revered Fang Yu as a deity, bowing deeply: "Thank you, Elder. Your humble disciple has just made a fool of himself."

"Thank you, Brother Fang. Your Dao art is profoundly wondrous—I am in awe."

The Dayan Holy Master, seeing his beloved disciple restored instantly, wore an expression of utter shock; he stared again and again before finally bowing to Fang Yu in thanks.

Then his gaze turned to Ye Fan and he praised: "A worthy youth indeed—it seems the Ancient Sacred Body has truly broken the curse and reached the Four Extremities Secret Realm."

"I owe this breakthrough to the Zhang Sect's intervention—I could not have shattered the curse or reached the Four Extremities Secret Realm without him."

Ye Fan smiled and spoke.

"The Sacred Body has truly broken through to the Four Extremities Secret Realm—and defeated the Dayan Holy Son so effortlessly!"

"If he continues cultivating like this, who will rule the world in the future?"

"This era is truly a great age—the Chaos Body has already attained the Dao, the Ancient Sacred Body has nearly matured, and all manner of special bodies are emerging—who will become the Emperor?"

"Another Long Zhenghudou is coming."

All hearts stirred—the Sacred Body had just displayed overwhelming combat power, a momentous event that filled every major faction with dread and pressure.

No one wished to see the Ancient Sacred Body rise so effortlessly—but for now, there seemed no alternative.

The faces of the Holy Masters were troubled; the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, too, wore solemn expressions.

Hua Yunfei stepped forward and smiled: "Elders before me, let me play a tune for you all."

"Good."

Fang Yu nodded.

"Hmm."

Jiang Shenwang also nodded.

Hua Yunfei stepped forward and played a melody before them; his qin music seemed to descend from the ninth heavens, causing many flower buds to bloom prematurely and drawing numerous spirit birds to descend, dancing in rhythm.

His musical art had long entered the Dao realm, leaving every person in awe.

When the piece ended, the earlier tension of the Holy Sons' great battle was gone, leaving only tranquility.

Everyone cheered and praised without pause.

Hua Yunfei offered a few modest words, then withdrew again to the Star Peak Master's side.

He was the Star Peak Master's youngest grandson, once a dazzling figure in his own right, but after Fang Yu — that once-in-an-age prodigy — appeared in the Xuan Sect, he had turned his heart to music instead, and through it had actually stepped into the Dao Realm.

He too was a legend.

Now cups clinked and toasts flew back and forth across the hall, the air lively and warm; every Holy Lord seemed to have forgotten the great battle just now, and all of them began chatting with Fang Yu about matters of the Cultivation World.

Just then, another messenger arrived to make his report.

"The Ancient Sovereign of the Ancient Hua Imperial Court has come to pay his respects at Baishan!"
