Chapter 112

Ye Fan's divine fist was ferocious, the fist force immense and heavy, mighty and domineering; his whole body radiated golden light even more dazzling than the great sun in the sky, twin fists waving like a comet striking the earth, yet also like the first ray of light when heaven and earth were split open, illuminating the entire heavenly vault.

The power of this punch shattered the Four Extremes of heaven and earth; Ye Fan stood upon the great earth, his peerless fist intent tearing apart the Eight Wastelands, space trembling, the great earth cracking open.

His gaze was like a blade, its cold edge awe-inspiring; his entire body wreathed in golden light, like an ancient golden god, disturbing the order of time, shattering the void's cage.

"Ancient Desolate Holy Body, extraordinary!" The Zi Fu Saintess uttered a few words, her state of mind flawless and pure, perfectly content; she was in an extremely mysterious state.

This punch of Ye Fan's, gathering all his essence, qi, and spirit, placed her at a disadvantage, but this mysterious state of spirit merging with the Dao kept her calm and undisturbed at all times; nothing could disturb her state of mind, not even her own joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness could interfere excessively.

Boom!

Hands forming seals, the Zi Fu Saintess's Mountains and Rivers Diagram shook violently, fully unfurling, covering the sky and blotting out the sun; within it, true mountains and rivers of heaven and earth poured out, fusing as one with the heavenly vault and great earth of the outside world. The Zi Fu Saintess resided at the center, setting her off like a true female immortal.

Rivers and mountains like a painting, beauty like a flower — a truly faithful portrayal.

No matter how powerful Ye Fan's fist art was, it absolutely could not break this Mountains and Rivers Diagram; a vessel interwoven with Dao and principle is simply that powerful.

The Zi Fu Saintess dwelled within the Mountains and Rivers Diagram; the two men and one dog were far too strong — she was no match for them.

She stood alone on an immortal cliff within the diagram, purple mist swirling, transcendent and solitary, like a female immortal in a painting, the most stunning scenery within the Mountains and Rivers Diagram.

Pang Bo shouted loudly, holding the Xuanhuang Great Sword, soaring into the sky with the Dou Zhan Holy Law; mountains and rivers collapsed, cloud layers shattered, yet he could do nothing to the female immortal in the painting.

From beginning to end, the Zi Fu Saintess's emotions did not change a single thread; her every move remained utterly devoid of worldly mortal air — truly terrifying beyond compare.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the Big Black Dog changed color; the Zi Fu Saintess was too transcendent. The three went all out, yet only gained a slight upper hand, failing to inflict a single shred of real injury on her.

"Among our peers, only Jiang Ge can steadily defeat her!" Pang Bo exclaimed. When they first clashed, they were nearly sucked into the Mountains and Rivers Diagram — and that was just a single exchange.

"An Innate Dao Body — truly too abnormal; the Mountains and Rivers Diagram can't be broken, so the Zi Fu Saintess stands on undefeated ground from the start."

The Big Black Dog was so anxious its dog face sagged; besides being able to unleash her own divine power, the Zi Fu Saintess could also communicate with the power of the Heavenly Dao, and her cultivation realm was a whole major realm above the few of them. For a while the battle fell into a stalemate, neither side able to do anything to the other.

Facing all this, Ye Fan and Pang Bo were also helpless. The temptation of the Wu Shi Sutra was too great; this past year they had roamed far and wide, once gazing from afar at the Yaoguang Shengzi — that sense of encountering a natural enemy, that naked malice, made their blood run cold.

They recalled Jiang Xuan's words: the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art is countered by the Indestructible Heavenly Art; if they truly faced the Yaoguang Shengzi, they would be suppressed dead to rights. Therefore they urgently needed a method that truly feared not the Indestructible Heavenly Art.

Right now the Big Black Dog said that as long as they caught the Zi Fu Saintess, there was a way to obtain the Wu Shi Sutra; Ye Fan and Pang Bo naturally were unwilling to let this chance slip.

But now the Zi Fu Saintess had entered the Mountains and Rivers Diagram — a vessel left by the old Saint Lord of the Zi Fu Holy Land — which they fundamentally could not break open. For a time, they fell into a deadlock.

Just as they were pondering, a leisurely voice drifted over:

"Ye Fan, Pang Bo, the moment I arrive I see you beating up a woman."

Only to see a silhouette like an Exiled Immortal standing in the void, handsome and extraordinary, leading a girl ethereal and clear, and at his side a woman of peerless grace, immortal bone and jade flesh, untouched by mortal worldliness.

"Jiang Ge!"

"Jiang Xuan!"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were overjoyed, immediately crying out excitedly; they never expected Jiang Xuan to arrive — with this, the Mountains and Rivers Diagram can be broken.

They had also heard of Jiang Xuan's feat battling the Jin Chi Lao Peng Wang — a heaven-defying, immortal-slaying exploit; throughout ancient and modern times there have been few who at this age achieved such accomplishments, and Jiang Xuan is one of them.

The Big Black Dog looked at Jiang Xuan with some shock, muttering: "Too terrifying; how long has it been? Clearly when he came out of Zi Shan he wasn't this terrifying!"

Upon seeing Xiao Nian Nian at Jiang Xuan's side, the Big Black Dog's eyeballs nearly fell out; it was first suspicious, then shocked, then trembling with fear, then carefully observing Xiao Nian Nian. Discovering she was just like an ordinary girl, the Big Black Dog slightly calmed down, forcing itself to compose itself.

"Jiang Ge, there's a great fortuitous opportunity here!" Pang Bo spoke eagerly.

"Oh? What fortuitous opportunity?" Jiang Xuan laughed; he guessed, same as the original trajectory, the Mother Qi of All Things Source Ding leaked, coveted by the major Holy Lands, Ye Fan counterattacked hunting Holy Sons and Holy Daughters — he just hadn't expected Pang Bo to say there was a great fortuitous opportunity.

"The Wu Shi Sutra!" Pang Bo said.

"The Black Emperor said gathering the Ancient Desolate Holy Body and Innate Dao Body can open the Wu Shi Sutra! The Wushi Great Emperor pushed horizontally across all enemies in all directions; his Imperial Sutra must be unprecedentedly powerful." Ye Fan added; for this Great Emperor Ancient Sutra, he was very expectant.

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan frowned: "Do you know specifically how to obtain the Wu Shi Sutra?"

Not waiting for Ye Fan to answer, Jiang Xuan's gaze flat, he looked at the Mountains and Rivers Diagram scroll in the high sky, and said: "The Wu Shi Sutra cannot be opened without an Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo; the Ancient Desolate Holy Body and Innate Dao Body combined, the offspring born, is the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo."

Ye Fan's face darkened; the Holy Lands were his enemies, coveting the Mother Qi of All Things Source Ding and Pang Bo's Xuanhuang Great Sword. Them intercepting Holy Land disciples was justified; they could take advantage of the peril to commit bestial acts against female cultivators — such things he disdained, for they did not accord with his Dao.

Beside him, Yao Xi's eyes also revealed a look of contempt; if the Holy Body's true intent was so, then he truly was unworthy of the Ancient Desolate Holy Body's peerless-through-the-ages title; becoming an Ancient Desolate Waste Body would be deserved.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo stared at the Big Black Dog, their gazes unkind, unblinking.

The Big Black Dog was stared at until its hair stood on end, its whole body uncomfortable; it retreated a few steps, carefully glanced at Jiang Xuan, then muttered: "Ben Huang just hasn't had time to say it yet?"

Ye Fan was furious, heart seething with anger; he had fought for half a day, divine power nearly exhausted, never expecting to gain nothing — and on top of that almost earn the infamy of a lecher.

Besides, they could not break open the Mountains and Rivers Diagram to plunder the Zi Fu Saintess; this battle — a bloody loss.

For a time the few of them didn't know how to handle it; if they carried the Mountains and Rivers Diagram with them, it was like carrying a time bomb. If the Zi Fu Saintess broke out of the diagram, launching a sneak attack with lightning speed, calculating against the unprepared, they fundamentally could not block it.

But if they directly released their restraint on the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, letting the Zi Fu Saintess leave, they were somewhat unwilling; fighting until heaven collapsed and earth split, void shattered, barely gaining the upper hand, yet letting the enemy go just like that — are you kidding.

Ye Fan looked at Jiang Xuan, wanting to ask Jiang Xuan's opinion; at any time, Jiang Xuan could make the most correct choice — this had been verified in multiple practices.

Jiang Xuan raised his head, looked at the Mountains and Rivers Diagram scroll in the high sky, black-red light dazzling in his eyes, then turned to look at Ye Fan, his expression shifting somewhat, and said:

"The Zi Fu Saintess — I want her!"
