Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 243 - 244 Chapter 249 Slaying the Disciple of the Ancient Nobilities

244: Chapter 249: Slaying the Disciple of the Ancient Nobilities 244: Chapter 249: Slaying the Disciple of the Ancient Nobilities The Empty Void Scripture is the Supreme Ancient Scripture created by the Ancient Great Emperor of the Void after observing all things and capturing the eternal and unchanging Law.

It is extremely profound and possesses the miraculous power to alter the very fabric of creation.

The Heaven-Cutting Finger is a peerless skill among them, possessing great power and endless wonder.

When cultivated to the Extreme Realm, it can sever the imprints of heaven itself and evoke the Dao.

Ji Yunfeng’s fingers were crystalline, shooting out Divine Radiance straight into the sky.

His fingers scissored through the air like several True Dragons swinging their tails, intertwining and emitting an intimidating aura, capable of severing mountain ranges and sundering the sky.

CLANG!

The Heaven-Cutting Finger struck, a horizontal slash of power that cut across the sky with imposing momentum.

The Divine Radiance, thick as a mountain peak, scissored towards the Great Mountain in the sky with astonishing might.

This peerless skill was truly terrifying.

His jade-like fingers shot out Divine Radiance, transforming into sky-covering Dragon Scissors, seemingly capable of cutting through anything.

Ye Fan unleashed the Mountain Embracing Seal, which transformed into a Great Mountain.

It suppressed the center of the sky and was constantly battered.

Terrifying gouges appeared on the mountain body standing in the void, all forcibly carved out by the attacks.

BOOM!

The Great Mountain swelled violently, its form enlarging as it rose into the sky.

It gleamed black, with silver waterfalls streaming downward.

Ye Fan assumed a moon-embracing posture, striking upwards towards the Dragon Scissors.

BANG!

The silver scissors formed by several True Dragons shook violently, almost shattering.

But in a flash of light, they reformed, shooting out even sharper Divine Radiance as killing intent soared and they slashed downward.

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

It was as if ten thousand swords sang out in unison, their cries resounding through the sky, brimming with sharpness.

The Heaven-Cutting Finger revealed an extremely terrifying aspect, capable of slaying all things, utterly unstoppable.

The sky trembled and rumbled.

Silver radiance burst out in all directions, unsettling people’s hearts.

The Dragon Scissors were indomitable, carving a series of large gouges into the Great Mountain.

Yet the Great Mountain never fell.

It became even more solid, like an immortal Demon Mountain, the force it emanated growing increasingly powerful, nearly shattering the Dragon Scissors on several occasions.

Mountain Embracing Seal versus Heaven-Cutting Finger!

One was an Ancient Seal Technique powered by the Fighting Saint Technique; the other was a supreme mysterious art recorded in the Empty Void Ancient Scripture.

It was like diamond cut diamond.

Ji Yunfeng was quite astonished.

How could the peerless skill left by a Great Emperor fail to suppress the Mountain Embracing Seal?

Although this Ancient Seal Technique is a peerless skill in the northern region, how can it possibly compare to the Heaven-Cutting Finger!

The scriptures left by Great Emperors represented the Extreme Realm.

The mysterious arts they contained were supreme, the strongest techniques in their respective domains, and considered unsurpassable.

Yet, the person before him resisted it with the Mountain Embracing Seal, handling it with ease and not falling into any disadvantage.

This truly defied logic.

Ji Yunfeng flicked his fingers.

Divine Radiance surged, like five True Dragons streaking across the sky, rushing towards the Great Mountain.

The Heaven-Cutting Finger was unfathomably profound; reaching the Extreme Realm allowed one to evoke the Dao of heaven and earth, drawing upon the eternal and unchanging power of the Dao from the void.

Though Ji Yunfeng could not possibly reach such a level, he was indeed extraordinary.

Continuously flicking his fingers, he unleashed five dragons to lock down the heavens, which then coiled around the Great Mountain.

This scene was extremely shocking.

The massive bodies of five True Dragons entwined around the mountain, their scales flashing as they constricted and dug into the mountain rock, attempting to shatter the Great Mountain.

The Heaven-Cutting Finger evoked heaven and earth, drawing upon the power existing in the void, and its might abruptly surged.

This caused the mountain formed by the Mountain Embracing Seal to continually shake, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

The mysterious arts recorded in the Empty Void Ancient Scripture could exhibit Extreme Immortal Power.

Even if only a trace manifested, it was unfathomable.

Ye Fan suddenly felt the pressure increase greatly.

His expression turned solemn as he mobilized the Fighting Saint Technique, unleashing the Mountain Embracing Seal to its absolute fullest.

BOOM!

The Great Mountain continued to enlarge.

The powerful sense of oppression caused the hearts of those watching below to pound with terror, nearly making them collapse to the ground.

BANG!

One True Dragon finally could not withstand the pressure; the dragon body coiling around the mountain was forcibly snapped.

With a flash of brilliance, it then extinguished.

BOOM!

The Great Mountain shook, the pressure astonishing.

It continuously swelled, becoming more and more majestic.

No, it’s definitely not the Mountain Embracing Seal, merely its form!

There must be another Source.

What mysterious art is this that can rival the Heaven-Cutting Finger?

Ji Yunfeng was puzzled, filled with doubts.

But at present, there was no time for further thought.

The Mountain Embracing Seal shook fiercely, its power swelling.

It broke all four remaining True Dragons, extinguishing them against the mountain as terrifying energy spread everywhere.

“Suppress!” Ye Fan shouted.

The Mountain Embracing Seal descended like the heavens themselves, its power unparalleled and shockingly mighty.

“Heaven-Cutting Finger!” Ji Yunfeng shouted, once again unleashing this peerless skill, striking upwards to block the Mountain Embracing Seal.

BOOM!

This collision sent Ji Yunfeng flying backward.

Even though he had retreated after the briefest contact, he still suffered a significant impact, his face turning deathly pale.

Why would this happen?

The Heaven-Cutting Finger can evoke the Dao, unrivaled in the world!

What mysterious art is he using that can counter the Holy Technique left by a Great Emperor?

HUMMM!

The sky shook.

Ye Fan made the moon-embracing gesture, and the Mountain Embracing Seal pressed down again, a crushing, dark expanse.

The towering Great Mountain unsettled people’s hearts, its power overwhelming and unrivaled.

BANG!

Ji Yunfeng pushed the Heaven-Cutting Finger to the absolute limit of his current ability, but the result remained unchanged.

He was blasted away, his body trembling violently, his face pale.

Ji Yunfeng’s heart turned icy cold.

He was on the verge of advancing to the Fourth Realm of Dao Palace, while the other party was merely in the Second Realm.

What does this indicate?

The power disparity between different realms is vast, like climbing the Heaven-Ascending Ladder.

One step forward is ‘immortal,’ one step back is ‘mortal,’ ensuring absolute suppression of lower realm individuals.

Yet this opponent is performing a ‘Reverse Immortal Slaying’!

He was an extremely arrogant person, yet now he found himself doubting his own abilities.

As a disciple of the Ancient Nobilities, his combat power far exceeded cultivators of the same level, yet he was actually being subjected to ‘Reverse Immortal Slaying.’ This truly shocked him.

What terrified Ji Yunfeng even more was that the opponent’s divine energy seemed inexhaustible and was still constantly increasing.

The power of the Mountain Embracing Seal was now even greater than before, and he dared not clash head-on.

How could this be happening?

His power is too strong!

If it hit a cultivator of the Four Extremes Secret Boundary, they probably wouldn’t endure it and would perish in regret.

Ji Yunfeng’s face turned ashen.

He lost all confidence, feeling it was utterly impossible to defeat his opponent.

Such thoughts would inevitably lead to disastrous consequences.

“Not good!” On the broken mountain, the other three from the Ji Family and the four disciples from the Flickering Light Sacred Land all paled, realizing something was amiss.

“Yun Feng, retreat quickly!

Come back at once, do not fight!” At the same time, someone dashed forward, attempting to intercept Ye Fan and allow Ji Yunfeng to retreat.

It was obvious to everyone now: Ji Yunfeng was no match and completely unable to withstand Ye Fan’s onslaught.

If this continued, certain death awaited him.

On the broken mountain, many young cultivators from Quzhou had gathered.

Their Heart Spirits were all shaken.

That a disciple from the Ancient Nobilities could not withstand an unknown cultivator left everyone profoundly shocked.

What was the origin of this person?

Everyone speculated that someone who dared to provoke a disciple from the Ancient Nobilites likely possessed a corresponding status.

Ji Yunfeng did indeed want to retreat; he did not want to die.

However, he was horrified to discover that he was ensnared by the Mountain Embracing Seal.

A demonic force emanating from that Great Mountain seemed to suck him into this patch of void, making escape impossible.

Those behind him grew anxious.

Another disciple from the Ji Family rushed over, attempting to intervene, his divine energy surging as he tried to tear apart the confinement here.

BOOM!

A terrifying scene unfolded as he immediately unleashed the Great Void Handprint.

Its power was astounding, causing the sky to tremble.

The Great Void Handprint was on par with the Heaven-Cutting Finger, both supreme mysterious arts from the Ji Family’s ancient scriptures, possessing incredible power.

When the Heaven-Cutting Finger was unleashed, silver brilliance shone, and sacred light flared.

The Great Void Handprint, however, was its complete opposite: black as ink, an expanse of utter darkness.

At this moment, the black handprint blotted out the sky, shrouding the heights and almost obscuring the sun, as it struck towards the Great Mountain in the sky.

This was the Great Void Handprint, drawing upon the eternal and indestructible Power of the Dao from the void, its Immortal Power immeasurable.

Ordinary opponents could hardly resist it and would be directly crushed into dust.

Ye Fan had not only witnessed the power of this technique but had also learned its incomplete forms.

He deeply understood its terrifying nature, yet at this moment, he felt no fear.

Even if facing disciples trained by the Ancient Nobilities who possessed a higher cultivation base, he remained confident.

Having learned the Attack Holy Technique from the nine secret arts, he could contend with them.

HUMMM!

The enormous Qi in this part of the sky seemed to be suddenly drained, and the entire world around them grew dim.

Ye Fan’s Mountain Embracing Seal’s power increased once more.

Ji Yunfeng could not escape, completely isolated.

At the same time, the Mountain Embracing Seal, like the sky itself, crashed towards the Great Void Handprint.

BOOM!

Heaven and earth quaked.

Shockwaves rolled downward, shaking the broken mountain, causing many people to become unsteady and nearly topple over.

This was a terrifying surge of energy, like a vast ocean.

In the clash between the Great Void Handprint and the Mountain Embracing Seal, neither gained the upper hand.

This is…?

The brow of the approaching Ji Family disciple furrowed tightly.

Below, the cultivators of Quzhou were even more stunned.

This mysterious individual was too powerful.

His momentum did not diminish; instead, it continuously surged, his divine energy growing ever more terrifying.

First, he broke the Heaven-Cutting Finger, and now he faced the Great Void Handprint.

He had neutralized both unparalleled peerless skills.

Such methods were truly frightening.

“Heaven-Cutting Finger!” Ji Yunfeng shouted, Divine Radiance as thick as a mountain peak, attacking outward.

“Great Void Handprint!” The Ji Family disciple rushing to assist also shouted.

A colossal black hand spanned the sky, immense and blocking the sun, as it pressed down.

These two supreme mysterious arts both originated from the Empty Void Ancient Scripture, sharing the same Source.

Combined, they possessed inconceivable might and were extremely terrifying.

But Ye Fan’s display was even more astonishing.

BOOM!

The sky shuddered as Ye Fan hurled a Great Mountain.

Then, he began forming seals again, and another Great Mountain took shape and was thrown out by him.

Mountain Embracing Seal!

Its imposing might shocked heaven and earth.

The Great Mountain pressed down with the divine power of ten thousand tons, utterly irresistible.

The energy of heaven and earth was nearly drained, leaving the place dim.

Everyone was dumbfounded, because throwing two Great Mountains was not the end, but just the beginning.

Ye Fan, his hands moving as if embracing the moon, continuously formed seals.

RUMBLE!

Shaking heaven and earth, all directions trembled.

He consecutively hurled nine Great Mountains, forming seals nine times, thoroughly draining the enormous Qi from all directions and plunging the area into darkness.

It was too terrifying, a force that shook heaven, almost cracking the celestial dome.

Consecutively hurling nine Great Mountains—this was an unimaginable display of might.

Below, the spectators were like clay and wooden carvings, aghast with mouths agape.

Such robust divine energy seemed inexhaustible, shocking everyone to their cores.

Nine Great Mountains, all hurtling toward the Ji Family disciple who was rushing to the rescue.

The sight caused the disciple’s heart and soul to turn cold with terror.

Was this still a human?

It left him with a profound sense of horror.

He unleashed the Great Void Handprint, the black hand covering the sky, while decisively retreating.

With nine consecutive Great Mountains pressing down, he knew he certainly could not withstand them; facing them head-on would likely get him crushed into pulp, forcing his retreat.

Having thus blocked this disciple, Ye Fan remained calm.

Embracing the tenth Great Mountain, he descended from the sky, directly suppressing Ji Yunfeng.

“Stop!” From behind, the other two Ji Family disciples shouted, but it was already too late.

They hadn’t expected Ye Fan to be this formidable, throwing nine Great Mountains and altering everything in the blink of an eye.

BOOM!

It was like an overwhelming flood, like an ocean surging to the heavens, the sound deafening.

Mountain Embracing Seal!

Ye Fan pressed down directly, his strength capable of uprooting mountains, his aura overwhelming the world, like an Immortal King’s descent, unstoppable.

All color drained from Ji Yunfeng’s face.

The opponent’s immense divine energy felt as if it were suffocating him.

Although he barely managed to unleash the Heaven-Cutting Finger, it changed nothing.

BOOM!

The heavens and earth shook as Ye Fan suppressed him, shaking Ji Yunfeng to death!

His mangled body was torn to pieces, then disintegrated into dust amidst the terrifying aftershocks.
