Chapter 160: The Big Dipper Region in Chaos, Ye Fan Fights and Defeats Wang Teng! (4k)
The Big Dipper Region was in turmoil, not only due to the rivalry among various prodigies but also because of the awakening of the ancient races.
Unfortunately, times had changed.
The Big Dipper Region was now firmly under the control of the human race.
Although the disappearance of several human Imperial Artifacts caused great panic, the ancient races' Ancient Sovereign Artifacts had also long vanished.
Only a few knew that the Western Desert possessed two Imperial Artifacts, with the Vajra Conquering Buddha seated atop Mount Sumeru, watching the world's events unfold.
Additionally, only the Divine Silkworm Clan still possessed an Ancient Sovereign Artifact. However, they harbored deep resentment over the events at the end of the ancient era and had strained relations with other ancient races.
On the human side, only the Shaking Light Holy Land had a half of the Sky Devouring Cauldron left.
Under pressure, many people began to eye the lid of Duan De's magic cauldron, with the Shaking Light Holy Land using moral persuasion to force him to hand it over.
Thus, Ye Fan was once again dragged into Duan De's troubles. After the emergence of the ancient races diverted attention, he enjoyed only a few days of peace before embarking on another escape.
Not only were human forces like the Shaking Light Holy Land chasing them, but the ancient races were also hunting them to prevent the unification of human Imperial Artifacts.
"Poor Holy Body. That guy sure knows how to attract trouble, always being hunted", White Tiger placed her hand on her hip, the other hand shading her eyes as she watched Ye Fan and Duan De being pursued.
"That phoenix should be hatching soon. It will make things more interesting", Ren Ran crossed her arms, her eyes calm like a still lake, observing the scene.
"I wonder why that person values him so much. Is it because of the special cultivation method he practices?"
"Don't know, but it's not just the master who's paying attention. I've seen that Empress seem even more interested in him", White Tiger said.
"Interesting. I don't mind them stirring up conflict, but if anyone tries to overturn the order, they'll be courting their own destruction."
Ren Ran pulled White Tiger into her arms, her slender fingers caressing the white tiger's neck, touching the small bell around her neck.
The Imperial Artifacts in the Big Dipper Region weren't just the few known ones.
"I feel that Father and the others are working on something big, so I need to practice even harder to be of help!" Ren Ran clenched her fists unconsciously.
"Ugh~ Let go of me", White Tiger, with a slight blush on her face, struggled to breathe.
"Sorry, White. Are you okay?" Ren Ran's expression changed, and she quickly apologized, checking White Tiger over before relaxing.
"You're the real tiger", White Tiger gave her a resentful look.
The Big Dipper Region became even more "lively."
The second son of the Immortal Sovereign, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, was born ahead of time, a move orchestrated by Wushi. Though he didn't absorb all five Primordial Creation Wellsprings, his innate constitution was still extremely powerful.
The Immortal Sovereign's Second Son set out alone, and upon birth, he attracted the Eternal Phoenix Elixir that the Undying Heavenly Emperor had hidden.
This was originally meant to be a test for Wushi's daughter, but Ren Ran ignored it and redirected the trouble to Ye Fan, learning the art of "Ye Fan's Tribulation Trial" on her own.
She was rebellious, after all, and her most revered person was not her own father.
She was a staunch supporter of her aunt!
It didn't end there. Besides the Immortal Sovereign's Second Son, a group of young and powerful ancient race cultivators suddenly appeared in the Big Dipper Region.
They crossed the Spiritual Mirror Realm from a strange world, with extremely powerful bloodlines.
Among them were the most outstanding descendants of the ancient sovereigns sent away by Shaohua, as well as the descendants of emperors and sovereigns from the strange world, including true imperial heirs.
Their arrival further complicated the situation in the Big Dipper Region.
This time, Ye Fan and his companions finally witnessed Ren Ran in action, as she effortlessly suppressed an Ancient Sovereign's heir, displaying overwhelming power.
"Wow, a young girl using a Heaven-Piercing Halberd. How brutal!" Duan De's fat body trembled.
"Such a powerful body, enveloped in Primordial Chaos Qi. How did he forge it? It's even stronger than my Holy Body", Ye Fan marveled.
When they first met in the Spiritual Mirror Realm, she had held back. Now, he wasn't her match.
"To see such a crushing battle, it's worth all the beatings I've endured!" Roadside Jiaw was extremely excited.
His grandfather was once one of the Fourteen Great Bandits of the Northern Domain. Five hundred years ago, he went to witness a conflict between the master of the Dull Peak of the Great Profound Sect and the Grand Elder of the Shaking Light Holy Land, only to be caught in the crossfire and never return.
His father went to witness the emergence of an ancient royal clan and never returned either.
The Road family was a single line of descent, and he was their great hope, named Jiaw, meaning "the first among men." He had exceptional cultivation talent and possessed a divine talisman passed down from his ancestors, drawn by the Great Profound Emperor.
Ren Ran stepped on the Ancient Sovereign's heir, interrogating him about their origins and intentions.
"We come from another world. We are here both for training and for protection", the Ancient Sovereign's heir, split in half by the halberd, coughed up blood.
"Be more specific!" Ren Ran demanded coldly.
"It's not that I don't want to, but some memories were erased before we came. I truly don't know."
The Ancient Sovereign's heir smiled bitterly. His bloodline was as strong as his ancestors', yet he was no match for this halberd-wielding girl, making him question his very existence.
"What good are you, a waste?!" Ren Ran kicked him away in annoyance.
She had hoped to learn about her relatives but found him useless and not worth killing.
The Big Dipper Region was in complete chaos.
Prodigies, ancient prodigies, various special constitutions, divine races, and imperial heirs emerged like mushrooms after the rain, fighting each other relentlessly, with many falling in the process.
Ye Fan was like someone with eight generations of bad luck, always either hunting others or being hunted.
At his most desperate moment, he was attacked from all sides, with ancient races pursuing him in the real world and others ambushing him in the Spiritual Mirror Realm, leaving him with no way out.
He fought fiercely on all fronts, triggering the Lifeblood Cultivation method, gaining profound insights, and achieving significant breakthroughs. He even advanced to the Immortal Platform Secret Realm during the battle, using the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation to kill his enemies and carve out a bloody path.
But Ye Fan paid a heavy price.
His spine was broken, his chest caved in, bones pierced his organs, his limbs were fractured, and his nails had all fallen off. He was covered in blood, his mouth full of blood foam, in a pitiful state.
He had never faced such a dangerous situation, and at one point, he doubted if he could survive.
Fortunately, the Eternal Character Formula proved its worth, allowing him to escape. Dragging his injured body into the Spiritual Mirror Realm, he was intercepted by someone.
"Who are you?" he asked.
The person was surrounded by nine true dragons, nine divine phoenixes, nine white tigers, and nine black tortoises, protecting him.
"Wang Teng of the Northern Plains!"
In this life, Wang Teng didn't inherit the legacy of the Great Profound Emperor but had other opportunities that were equally powerful.
In fact, the Great Profound Emperor's legacy didn't suit his nature, and he might be even stronger on a different path.
"Hmph, a lackey of the ancient races. Die!" Ye Fan, surprised but unyielding, cursed and charged at Wang Teng.
Anyone blocking him at this moment was an enemy, and he had to fight to survive.
Entering the Spiritual Mirror Realm in his true form didn't enhance his combat ability but rather suppressed it. Normally, he would come here to hone his skills, but now it was a burden.
Fortunately, Ye Fan had the Lifeblood Cultivation method, which allowed him to resist the suppression and even gain some benefits.
This was one of his trump cards, which is why he thought of escaping to the Spiritual Mirror Realm.
The two fought fiercely, causing mountains to collapse and seas to surge. Ye Fan's divine power was overwhelming, and his Six Realms Reincarnation Fist was both strong and ruthless, nearly shaking Wang Teng's war artifact out of his hand, making his arm go numb.
No matter what techniques Wang Teng used, Ye Fan overpowered them, his courage and strength unmatched. Mountains and rivers, the sky and earth, all crumbled under his punches.
"Your physical body is strong, but I'll sever your soul with the Primordial Soul Secret!" Wang Teng roared, gathering all his soul power to use the secret technique.
He was nearly invincible in the Spiritual Mirror Realm because he had mastered the Primordial Soul Secret, which focused on the soul, making his spirit immortal and his soul severance technique unparalleled.
"You think my soul is weak? You're wrong!" Ye Fan shouted.
The Lifeblood Cultivation method initially opened the inner realm with spiritual power. While everyone knew his physical body was unmatched, few realized his soul was equally powerful, even stronger.
Moreover, Ye Fan also possessed the Primordial Soul Secret, which he had learned in the Yaochi Ancestral Land but never used.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered the face of the "Unnamed" who often came to beat him, and who she resembled.
No wonder White Tiger had left him to follow her.
The soul battle was even more dangerous. Ye Fan's powerful spirit shattered Wang Teng's soul.
"How is this possible?!" Wang Teng cried out, unable to believe Ye Fan also had the Primordial Soul Secret.
"Boom!"
Wang Teng's body in the Spiritual Mirror Realm exploded, and his true form in the real world was severely affected. Having gathered all his soul power, his soul's collapse left him either dead or crippled.
After defeating Wang Teng, Ye Fan was nearing his limit. He killed many more pursuers and finally reached the edge of an abyss.
Facing the Shaking Light Holy Land and others, Ye Fan laughed and jumped off the cliff.
He was being hunted largely because the Eternal Cosmos Furnace had caused disturbances in the Spiritual Mirror Realm, leading to the disappearance of many Imperial Artifacts, making him a target for possessing great secrets.
Of course, some simply wanted the All-Creation Nurturing Cauldron and other secrets he possessed, using it as an excuse. Others wanted to use his Holy Body to refine a powerful elixir.
Facing the abyss, all the pursuers hesitated.
No one dared to act, not with the Imperial Artifacts gone.
"The Holy Body is surely dead. The vast Tianxuan Holy Land was buried here in the past; he has no chance of surviving!"
"Pity the All-Creation Nurturing Cauldron, such a rare treasure, future Imperial Artifact, buried here. The Holy Body is truly despicable!"
"The Holy Body is dead, but the great secrets he possessed might be with his friends, especially that big black dog. Better to kill and be wrong than to let them escape!"
More and more people gathered at the abyss, whispering and stirring the situation, but no one dared to take a step further.
And did Ye Fan die?
Of course not!
He always felt that the Spiritual Mirror Realm was connected to the Lifeblood Cultivation method, and this abyss might be a special node.
The Jade Edict had appeared here before, leaving a lasting impression.
"Ha, hahaha!"
At the bottom of the ten-thousand-foot abyss, Ye Fan saw a massive jade mountain and laughed.
The Jade Edict's true form was indeed here, resonating with his Lifeblood Cultivation method. A strange power rose from his inner realm, nourishing his spirit and body.
"That's a Spiritual Power Elixir!" Ye Fan's eyes gleamed as he saw the Spiritual Power Elixirs beside the Jade Edict, making him even happier.
Misfortune and fortune are intertwined, and so it was.
Ye Fan healed and made significant breakthroughs here, even discovering the Tianxuan Holy Land deeper down, which saw him as their only hope to escape.
Six thousand years ago, the Tianxuan Holy Land was the undisputed first holy land in the Big Dipper Region, at the peak of its power.
In an era when the world was not yet revived, it had several sages and even near-great sages.
Ye Fan cultivated and refined the Spiritual Power Elixirs, receiving guidance from sages.
If his enemies knew about this, they would be furious.
His goal was to refine the Jade Edict, which could control the entire Spiritual Mirror Realm, and he was indeed qualified to do so.
In the real world, Ye Fan's friends were also being hunted by relentless forces. Black Emperor, having no choice, sought protection from Ren Ran, following a mark he had left on White Tiger.
"Master, save me!" Black Emperor, seeing Ren Ran, was overjoyed, howling and wagging his tail.
"Sky's the limit, here I come!" Duan De, with no dignity, fell to his knees.
Without Ye Fan to draw the fire, they had been hunted mercilessly. They embraced anyone who could offer protection.
"Ao, how did you attract so many people?" White Tiger, seeing the vast crowd, felt uneasy.
Is this not a battle between the major holy lands?!
"I just made a few sages and their children my pets."
"I once visited the ancestral tombs of a few ancient clans."
"I really didn't do anything bad, just mentioned how their ancestors were killed", Roadside Jiaw said, on the verge of tears.
White Tiger: "..."
