Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

"What sword array is this? Far more powerful than a hundred years ago—when did you silently climb to such heights?" The Corpse Emperor widened his eyes, his face full of shock, anger, and suspicion, as if witnessing the most absurd thing. The sudden change instantly shattered his firm preconceptions, and all his schemes and notions collapsed in a flash.

The opponent was far more terrifying than a hundred years ago.

"I refuse to accept this! We once ruled over heaven and earth—do you truly think you can toy with us at will?" The Immortal Crone laughed furiously, her laughter bone-chillingly cold. She flicked her sleeve, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, her gaze like knives piercing fiercely at the human demon, as if to see through him.

"You sneaky rats, scheming in secret for years, dreaming of besieging me? Absurd! My cultivation grows day by day as well; I've been waiting for today to settle the score with you all!"

Jiang Xuan stood tall, fists clenched, his aura like burning flames surging wildly. Every word he spoke was like the Hong Zhong Da Lu, shaking heaven and earth, changing the wind and clouds.

He stood erect like a pine, his gaze resolute, his aura of absolute dominance over the world surging, as if to control all of heaven and earth.

The Great Peng Emperor raised his head to the sky, letting out a deafening roar of laughter. His head of golden hair was like golden flames, unrestrained and flamboyant, shining with blinding brilliance.

"A fine Jiang Heavenly Emperor, surpassing Wu Shi!"

The arrogance of looking down on the world was gone from his gaze, replaced by a powerlessness deep in his bone marrow. The opponent was too strong—even a sublimated Supreme was no match for him.

"Complete defeat." The Spirit Emperor spoke as well, his voice ice-cold and bone-chilling, revealing his unwillingness.

A Golden Dao Road spanned endless space; Ye Fan had completed his tribulation. At this moment, Ye Fan was battered all over, but his vital energy surged to the Jiu Xiao.

He had finally achieved Great Perfection of the Holy Body and could fight side by side with Jiang Xuan.

He casually spat out a sentence: "The Great Peng Emperor is such trash; his meat probably isn't much better."

These words were like a bomb, instantly igniting the anger in the hearts of several Emperors. In their minds, these "food" and "Dayaо" regarded as things in their pockets actually dared to harbor such blasphemous thoughts—utterly arrogant, truly "heinous beyond measure" and "provoking the wrath of gods and men"!

Since ancient times, has anyone ever dared to have such disrespectful thoughts toward Emperor-level powerhouses? This was a naked trampling of their dignity!

"Merely Great Perfection of the Holy Body, yet daring to speak wildly! Great Perfection Holy Body can only rival a Great Emperor; in a true life-and-death battle, the one who dies will definitely be the Holy Body!" The Corpse Emperor flew into a rage, his roar echoing through the clouds.

"Shameless! Since you dare to come today, you are asking to be completely wiped out! The ones truly seeking death are you!"

Ye Fan's body radiated blinding golden light like a golden world, descending with a boom. Without a word, the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things smashed down upon the Emperors below head-on. For a while, the wind and clouds changed color, and heaven and earth trembled!

"Jiang Xuan, let me fight him!"

Ye Fan's hands danced like flying, the Dou Zhan Sheng Fa operating to the extreme as he charged at the Spirit Emperor.

In an instant, the Hengyu Furnace rose like a proud sun, blazing flames sweeping across in an instant, burning all Star Domains in its path into chaos.

At the same time, an Ancient Mirror shot into the sky, hanging above Ye Fan's head, Immortal Light pouring down like a waterfall, as if to illuminate all of heaven and earth. Then, the Tai Huang Sword, like a startled swan's shadow, whistled out with peerless sharpness, Sword Qi taking form, tearing the Heavenly Vault, and fiercely slashing at that killing array.

Under Ye Fan's control, various Dao Soldiers charged forward with unstoppable momentum, fiercely colliding with the Great Peng Emperor.

"How dare the Holy Body bully me!" The Great Peng Emperor roared. The Holy Body choosing him as an opponent—wasn't that saying he was the weakest of the four?

The Great Peng Emperor stood proudly, his figure heroic, tall and mighty, his head of golden hair flowing like a waterfall, his golden pupils like a blazing sun.

The light between his eyebrows suddenly brightened; that golden whip instantly broke free from the array gate's constraint, rushing into the killing array like a golden lightning bolt, as if to crush heaven and earth, directly bombing toward Ye Fan.

Shocking heaven and earth!

This was the Great Peng Emperor's killing ultimate technique, enough to shock ancient and modern times. In an instant, endless golden light surged; the golden whip was like a majestic war god descending from the sky, fiercely striking down into the Chaos Mist, precisely hitting Ye Fan's fleshly Furnace Cauldron, instantly emitting a tremendous sound.

"Puff"

Ye Fan suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood, blood marks appearing all over his body. Then, his body actually began to split apart, nearly shattering on the spot.

"Holy Body, you're no match!" The Great Peng Emperor's gaze was mad; this madman had an indescribable wildness and killing intent.

The Great Peng Emperor circulated his mana; in an instant, the Huang Jin Qian shone brilliantly, activated to the extreme. The Huang Jin Qian was now crimson like blood, mysterious patterns vividly emerging, as if an ancient scene of slaying immortals reappeared in the mortal world.

Rampant and unchecked, blood light and golden light shot into the sky, dyeing heaven and earth crimson; a terrifying aura spread.

In a flash, the Great Peng Emperor pressed down with an overwhelming force, slashing down with a boom. The fierce Sword Qi split the chaos, and Ye Fan's fleshly body could no longer support itself, instantly being chopped into pieces.

As the light of the Great Dao surged, the divine sound of the Great Dao echoed faintly. Ye Fan with difficulty reformed his true body, light shining all over him, transforming into a Furnace that tightly wrapped himself.

The sound of scriptures never ceased, as if three thousand Buddhas chanted scriptures and blessed, like a hundred thousand gods and demons roaring angrily, again like the ancients of the Upper Ancient Era devoutly sacrificing, mysterious and majestic.

"Good kid, even with death approaching, you still dream of perfecting your own Dao, using me as Furnace Fire—truly don't know if you're a martial maniac or arrogantly ignorant!" The Great Peng Emperor reprimanded angrily.

Ye Fan indeed had extraordinary courage; even deep in a desperate situation, he still employed supreme secret arts, turning all things and all sources into Furnace Fire to temper his fleshly Furnace Cauldron.

"He truly comprehended a bit of Sword Intent, and the Great Peng Emperor's secret art was also absorbed by him. If this continues, he might really transcend the predicament." Jiang Xuan praised; at this moment, he was not in a hurry to kill the other three Ancient Supremes.

"He can be called a genius; calling him the strongest Holy Body in history is not an exaggeration. But unfortunately, he has no vitality left. Even if he absorbed some mysteries, he has only just entered this realm. Heavenly Emperor, we know we must die today, but won't you save that Holy Body? Or do you not want another Great Perfection Holy Body in the world?" The Immortal Crone sowed discord, spitting blood and laughing strangely.

"Hah, a frog at the bottom of a well—how can you casually evaluate my friend!" Jiang Xuan's gaze was calm, full of confidence in Ye Fan.

The Great Peng Emperor's gaze was like a torch; he suddenly shouted: "Imperial Seal Tianxia!"

In an instant, the chaotic Qi of the Universe condensed, Time was imprisoned, falling into eternal stillness.

This forbidden secret art was forged and sublimated from his Transcendent Divine Ability; it could seal Time, fix the Holy Body's form, and then launch a fatal strike, with unparalleled power.

Ye Fan felt his body extremely heavy, as if wrapped in endless mire, unable to move, danger closing in. But his gaze was resolute; he softly chanted: "Primordial Spirit Immortal, my heart Eternal."

Ye Fan exerted all his strength to mobilize the power of his own Laws. Although his fleshly body was tightly imprisoned, a flash of light between his eyebrows saw his Primordial Spirit break free, resonating with the Dao.

"Ah..."

Ye Fan let out a long cry to the sky; his Primordial Spirit burst with dazzling radiance, like brilliant stars lighting up the night sky. The Golden Villain, though only fist-sized, was inherently majestic, one hand holding the Cauldron, one hand performing the power of Years, rushing toward the Great Peng Emperor like lightning. At the same time, his fleshly body broke free from constraints, power exploding, blood and Qi surging, his silhouette darting toward the Great Peng Emperor like a ghost, launching a fierce slaughter.

In this secret art duel, Ye Fan fused the Xing Character Secret, the preceding Character Secrets, the Zhou Seal, etc., creating a unique Years killing move, with the Primordial Spirit as the vanguard and the fleshly body as support, combining hardness and softness, irresistible.

"Boom!"

With a tremendous sound, heaven and earth shook violently; the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things and the Golden Divine Great Mallet collided violently, sparks flying, both powerhouses spattering blood simultaneously—a gruesome scene.

Ye Fan's Primordial Spirit and fleshly body instantly approached the Great Peng Emperor, then wonderfully merged, undergoing an amazing transformation, as if the great bell of time rang, carrying a majestic pressure to suppress downward.

"Boom!"

The Great Peng Emperor was struck heavily, his body flying sideways, blood spurting wildly from his mouth. He was no longer at his peak; this duel clearly left him at a disadvantage, old injuries within his body were aggravated, Imperial blood splattering—a shocking sight.

His heart was full of unwillingness and resentment; in the past, Ye Fan was nothing but an insignificant ant in his eyes, yet now he launched such a powerful counterattack.

"I sacrifice myself with imperial blood to summon the Immortal!"

The Great Peng Emperor's Heavenly Eye widened in fury as he roared. In an instant, the Universe was ignited by blazing flames, Time was enveloped by his forbidden Secret Art, his body drenched in blood, he burned violently, emitting a cry. Ye Fan could not dodge in time and was instantly drowned by the violent power.

"Puff"

Ye Fan suffered a heavy blow from the Great Peng Emperor, his body exploded, and Blood Mist spread.

This is one of the Great Peng Emperor's most terrifying killing moves, named "Huang Ji Xian," a technique carefully created to deal with Immortals who might descend in the future. It uses his own blood and life as a medium to perform a sacrificial method, intending to completely destroy the Enemy, with power reaching the extreme of Terror.

Ye Fan's Silhouette flickered, reforming his body, his expression Serious and solemn.

After just the initial clash, he had already fallen into an extremely disadvantageous position, suffering heavy injuries.

This duel cannot be simply compared to an ordinary Battle; every move contains the exquisite subtlety and power of thousands of techniques, all lethal killing blows capable of deciding life and death in an instant.

Because the Great Peng Emperor used the blood-consuming forbidden Secret Art "Huang Ji Xian," his own blood and Qi were limited and could not sustain for long. Above Gao Tian Zhi Shang, Jiang Xuan was suppressing the formation; knowing he had no way out, he resolved to trade his life for another's, taking Ye Fan with him.

The Great Peng Emperor's blood dripped continuously from his body, the Secret Art continued to operate, and Terrifying power constantly impacted Ye Fan.

Suddenly, Ye Fan unfurled a magnificent phenomenon, as if Chaos had just begun, Tian Di trembled, sweeping away all Laws in the Void, and opening up a Pure Land for himself that was unaffected.

He danced with both Fists, unleashing the Heavenly Emperor Fist; fist winds howled, as if all Sun Moon Stars in the Universe resonated with it, bursting forth with brilliant radiance, surging and gathering from all Star Domains.

Ye Fan thus launched consecutive critical strikes, shattering the remaining Shen Lian one by one, partially breaking free from the Secret Art's Constraints.

"Great Peng Emperor, even with your heaven-defying methods, you cannot escape death today!"

Ye Fan looked up and roared in anger; the figures of old acquaintances from the past constantly emerged in his mind. In an instant, he seemed to have returned to the era of Dark Turmoil, that bone-deep Despair and Grief surging again in his Mind. If not for Jiang Xuan protecting All Living Beings, Tian Di would surely be filled with wailing.

But now is different from the past; he already stood at the peak of the strong, possessing the power to fight the Supreme, and he would definitely make the Great Peng Emperor repay his Blood Debt in Blood.

"Boom—!"

Ye Fan took the initiative to attack; phenomena bloomed around him, like a cage trapping the Great Peng Emperor within, rendering him unable to move. His Left Hand quickly formed the Universe Seal, his Right Hand pinched the Space Seal, the Xing Character Secret flashed at his brow, the Road Character Secret under his feet was like a long rainbow piercing the sun; his whole person like burning flames, bringing Endless Killing Intent, surging toward the Great Peng Emperor.

"Puff!"

After this fierce battle, Ye Fan achieved a great victory; under such fierce and powerful attacks, the Great Peng Emperor was completely unable to resist, instantly blown apart, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

"With my Divine Blood, I forge an immortal body!"

The Great Peng Emperor let out an angry roar; at this moment he did not rush to repair his damaged body, but instead used Full Power to protect his Primordial Spirit. Immediately after, a hair-raising demonic sound emanated from his mouth, shaking this Heavenly Vault of Past Ages.

In an instant, a mysterious and strange power spread; in the Distance, a figure like a god or demon slowly emerged, radiating the vicissitudes of Years from his whole body, a powerful pressure hitting him head-on.

"My future-life self, unleash all your mysteries, and completely execute him!" the Great Peng Emperor roared madly; that figure instantly burst forth with power of unparalleled Terror.

Ye Fan was greatly shocked in his heart; he never believed in the concept of future lives, only being Persistent about the Present Day, but this strange technique displayed by the Great Peng Emperor before him made him feel a chill.

"Not Right, this is his 'Dao Wo' power; he can actually use it like this, bursting forth with such astonishing power!"

Ye Fan couldn't help but feel Secret Amazement; the Great Peng Emperor was indeed Domineering beyond compare. With this Act/Intervene, he unintentionally opened a new door for Ye Fan, letting Ye Fan suddenly become Cheerful on the Road of researching the transformation of "Wo Wo" and "Dao Wo" into actual Combat Power.

These years, Ye Fan had also been painstakingly studying these two abstruse divine abilities, but had never been able to successfully transform them into practical power; the Great Peng Emperor's demonstration undoubtedly pointed out the Direction for him.

However, although Ye Fan was filled with Excitement in his Inner Heart at this moment, he also knew that the crisis before him was not resolved, but rather became even more dangerous.

Ye Fan felt as if he was tightly bound by an invisible power, like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to move. As expected, next he suffered a Fatal attack; in a short moment, he was killed twice by powerful force, blood raining down like rain, dyeing this entire Universe a striking crimson.

But how could Ye Fan be someone easily defeated? He gritted his teeth, used Full Power to break free from the Constraints, rose up to counterattack, using all his skills, completely crushing that seemingly invincible "Dao Wo" god-demon, turning it into flying ash all over the sky.

Seeing this, the Great Peng Emperor's body shook violently; his just-reformed body had not yet stabilized, his face pale as paper, obviously having suffered a heavy blow again. He understood in his heart that in today's Battle, he was probably Afraid he could not escape calamity. Although he used various forbidden methods in succession, none could turn the tide of defeat.

"Forget it, since that's the case, then let's fight to the death; use the last move!" the Great Peng Emperor's expression was Calm, shouting loudly without joy or worry, but his Gaze revealed a trace of determination. (Chapter End)
