Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 282 - 283 Chapter 288 Desecration

283: Chapter 288: Desecration 283: Chapter 288: Desecration The people on the ground were very tense, fearing Ye Fan would make a devastating decision and kill their Saint Heirs and sacred ladies, which would cause a massive uproar.

However, they were clearly overthinking it.

Although all the Saint Heirs were uneasy, they were not terrified, as each possessed methods of self-preservation.

Ye Fan quickly frowned; it was indeed difficult to kill these people.

The force field of the Chaos Stone was too strong, and most of the divine energy he unleashed would be nullified.

He possessed a cauldron forged from Origin Qi, but he couldn’t approach these people while wielding it; otherwise, they too would be freed from their restraints.

The force field formed by the Chaos Stone was all-pervasive, filling every inch of space and infinitely weakening the divine energy he unleashed.

He couldn’t even use his cauldron to suppress others, as they would instantly be freed due to the Origin Qi.

Ye Fan strode through the void.

When he passed in front of Ji Haoyue, he stopped.

This instantly made the Ji Family members incredibly tense, their hearts leaping into their throats.

“You can’t kill me!” Ji Haoyue stated calmly, a Divine Moon shimmering as it protected his body.

“You know my sacred body can restrain your Variations.

Even if I can’t kill you, I can beat you half to death!” “Then try it.” The Divine Moon flashed like lightning, merging with Ji Haoyue as his entire body radiated a soft glow.

“For Ziyue’s sake, I’ll settle things with you later.” Ye Fan strode away, arriving before the Chaos Stone, and his golden hand struck out once more.

BANG!

The Golden Winged Little Roc King was sent flying more than a zhang, only to be frozen in place by the powerful force field, unable to move an inch.

“Excellent.

I am quite fond of this cauldron.

You must keep it safe for me; one day, I will come to claim it!” The Golden Winged Little Roc King’s voice was icy, his eyes filled with frenzied killing intent.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Ye Fan remained silent, striking continuously.

He sent the Golden Winged Little Roc King flying back and forth, yet his strength was perfectly controlled, careful not to accidentally knock him out of the force field.

He did want to eliminate the Celestial Roc Clan’s future King, but just as he’d anticipated, the Chaos Force Field affected everything, and more than half of the divine energy he unleashed was negated.

Ye Fan lost count of how many punches he’d thrown; his arm was beginning to ache.

However, the Chaos Force Field’s effect was too overwhelming, making it impossible to kill his opponent.

“Hahaha…” A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of the Golden Winged Little Roc King’s mouth, yet he laughed maniacally.

SWOOSH!

Suddenly, a golden beam shot out from between Ye Fan’s brows, striking in an instant.

BUZZ!

Space trembled.

A light flashed from within the Golden Winged Little Roc King’s body, and a small silver pagoda shot out, embedding itself in the center of his forehead and fixing itself there.

DING!

A clear, crisp sound rang out.

The small silver pagoda trembled slightly but remained undamaged.

With a flash of silver light, it disappeared back into his brow.

Simultaneously, the Golden Winged Little Roc King roared.

Light erupted from his entire body as a Celestial Roc, as if cast from gold and vividly lifelike, burst forth, pouncing toward Ye Fan.

A dragon’s roar shook the heavens.

Following closely behind the Divine Roc, a terrifying True Dragon leaped out.

It danced across the sky, tearing through its restraints and charging toward Ye Fan.

Supreme Celestial Roc Dragon Fighting Technique!

The Golden Winged Little Roc King had been holding back, not using this Holy Technique to protect himself.

Only now did he suddenly unleash it, aiming to kill Ye Fan in a single strike.

This divine art was unparalleled in the world, its might exceedingly strong.

It could only be utilized after reaching the Fourth Level Secret Realm.

The last time he fought Ye Fan, he couldn’t use this technique, a fact that filled him with regret.

At this moment, a golden, supreme Celestial Roc and a cyan True Dragon charged out, their colossal bodies making many tremble with dread!

“He can use this technique even within the Chaos Force Field!

The Golden Winged Little Roc King is too powerful!

It’s astounding!

Just how terrifying is his combat power?” “It’s truly astonishing, simply unbelievable!” Many were dumbfounded, utterly shocked.

“I’ve long been wary of you!” Ye Fan, using the old madman’s footwork, dodged past the Celestial Roc and True Dragon with a swish.

Even someone as formidable as the Golden Winged Little Roc King couldn’t operate freely within the Chaos Force Field.

The golden Celestial Roc and cyan True Dragon soon dimmed.

BUZZ!

The void trembled.

A roc and a dragon, vividly lifelike and filled with martial power, materialized beside him, coiling around his flanks.

Having failed to kill Ye Fan in one strike, he knew his chance was lost.

The Dragon Fighting Skill transformed into the Dragon Fighting Map, which adhered to his body, protecting him and preventing its power from being negated by the Chaos Force Field.

Ye Fan attacked fiercely.

Even if he couldn’t eliminate the Golden Winged Little Roc King, he was determined to thrash him soundly, kicking with his great foot and striking with his golden Great Hand Seal.

“Hehe…

why bother?

You can’t kill me at all.” A trickle of blood still at the corner of his mouth, the Golden Winged Little Roc King sneered, “Be careful not to damage my cauldron.” Ye Fan didn’t deign to respond.

He summoned the Fire God Furnace, sucked the King into it, and cast a fire-intensifying art from a distance, beginning to refine him.

Even if I can’t refine you, I’ll make you shed a layer of skin!

Since he couldn’t use his cauldron, he could only resort to this furnace to torment his opponent.

“Boy, this paltry heat is far from enough!

Thinking you can melt this King?

You’re far from it!

It’s actually quite balmy in here, very comfortable.

Try harder!” The Golden Winged Little Roc King’s voice, filled with wild arrogance, echoed out.

BUZZ!

The Chaos Stone actually trembled slightly!

Streaks of auspicious light shot out, flowing into the furnace and causing it to blaze with incomparable radiance, like a burning sun.

On the Fire God Furnace, the few indistinct Divine Birds etched there instantly vanished, merging into the furnace’s body and causing it to become incandescently hot.

This is… Ye Fan was astonished; the Fire God Furnace could actually draw upon the Chaos Stone’s power for its own use!

Behind them, the others showed surprised expressions.

This was especially true for the Jiang Family’s future Divine King, whose body jolted as two beams of Divine Radiance shot from his eyes, apparently in utter shock.

At first, the Golden Winged Little Roc King was still taunting, but he soon fell silent, and then he let out a low roar.

This astounded everyone.

What kind of furnace was this?

Could it actually refine even the Golden Winged Little Roc King?

That it could draw upon the Chaos Stone’s power was truly incredible.

DONG!

DANG!

CLANG!

The Golden Winged Little Roc King struggled violently, managing to move within the Chaos Force Field.

One could only imagine the dire straits he faced; he was clearly fighting for his life.

Then, Ye Fan opened the furnace lid and tipped the Golden Winged Little Roc King out, wanting to see his condition.

As a result, everyone’s expression changed drastically.

The proud future King of the Celestial Roc Clan was burned pitch-black, looking as if he had fallen into a coal pit.

“Boy…” Yet his eyes remained sharp, glaring like twin bolts of lightning.

Very well, even if I can’t refine you today, I’ll burn off all your feathers!

Ye Fan casually tossed him back into the furnace, slammed the lid shut, and placed the Fire God Furnace upon the Chaos Stone.

This… A chill ran down everyone’s spine.

If this continued, the Golden Winged Little Roc King would undoubtedly be refined to death.

Only at this moment did the various Saint Heirs truly feel a sliver of fear.

To be killed by a cultivator from the Dao Palace secret realm was simply not worth it.

The moment Ye Fan turned around, the various Saint Heirs acted almost in unison.

Light flashed between their brows as they moved their most powerful Weapons there, shielding their Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Fan’s gaze swept over everyone, making them somewhat nervous.

Their lives might not truly be forfeit, but being burned to a crisp in public was far too damaging to their dignity.

This was especially true for the few women present.

They were peerlessly beautiful, their elegance unmatched.

To be desecrated in such a manner would be a fate worse than death for them.

The successor from the Dao Yi Sacred Land was a very young Daoist, possessing the aura of the Great Dao.

She stood there quietly, without any swirling mist or flashing radiance, yet she seemed ethereal, her true appearance obscured.

Previously, merely by chanting the four words “Infinite Heavenly Venerate,” she had purified thousands of Yin Soldiers and Yin cavalry, her supreme Miao Yin leaving all in awe.

Now, she spoke, her voice like Heavenly Sound, like pearls dropping onto a jade plate—exquisite and captivating.

“Benefactor Ye, it would be best for you to leave quickly.

Otherwise, I fear grave danger awaits.” Nearby, the Yaochi Saintess, shrouded in mist, also spoke with a melodious Heavenly Sound, “Every Great Sect has Grand Elders who have come.

You should leave sooner rather than later.” On the field, if anyone could still remain composed, it was undoubtedly Wu Zhongtian, Li Heishui, Jiang Huairen, and their companions.

They were entirely unperturbed, not worried in the slightest.

They even secretly sent voice transmissions, offering Ye Fan suggestions.

“Brother Ye, why not go for broke?

Toss them all into the furnace and refine them to ashes!

Then, in the entire Eastern Wastelands, no one will be left to contend with us.” “Exactly!

I’ve disliked these people for a long time.

Turn them all to ash in one go and let the various Sacred Lands weep!” Ye Fan said nothing.

He approached the Flickering Light Saint Heir and swung his golden palm, as large as a grinding disc, striking fiercely.

However, the Flickering Light Saint Heir was Immune to All Techniques.

He activated his Holy Light Technique, which spread like a layer of golden mist over his body.

His defensive power was arguably the greatest among his peers.

“Do we have a feud?” The Flickering Light Saint Heir trembled continuously from the blows, yet his voice remained calm.

Ye Fan did not reply.

He knew this person was incredibly formidable and was dead set on obtaining his cauldron.

He had pursued Ye Fan’s tracks several times in places like the Yunduan Mountain Range.

He even suspected that the one who had impersonated an Ancient creature to seize the Phoenix Blood Red Gold wasn’t that ‘Old Blade Handle,’ but the Flickering Light Saint Heir himself.

Whenever this thought arose, he found the Flickering Light Saint Heir terrifyingly ruthless, willing to stoop to any means to achieve his goals, even killing his own people without hesitation.

The fact that his opponent could remain so composed even now demonstrated an extraordinary mental fortitude; he was undoubtedly a future arch-nemesis.

Ye Fan wasted no more words.

He opened the furnace, tossed the Flickering Light Saint Heir inside, and slammed the lid shut with a CLANG.

It was all done very cleanly and efficiently.

“You…” Below, the people from the Flickering Light Sacred Land were aghast.

They had never imagined Ye Fan would be so decisive, throwing their Saint Heir directly into the Divine Furnace.

He was clearly planning to refine him to ash!

“You’ve offended the Ji Family!

Do you intend to make an enemy of our Flickering Light as well?!” someone from below roared.

“Every time the Ji Family’s people hunted me, your Flickering Light members were always involved.

You made yourselves my enemies long ago!” Ye Fan sneered.

DONG!

DANG!

CLANG!

Inside the Fire God Furnace, the Golden Winged Little Roc King roared incessantly, and the Flickering Light Saint Heir also emitted muffled groans, clearly enduring unimaginably high temperatures.

In the Bright God Hall, some people tried to rush out, hoping to summon the Grand Elders from the various Great Sects to eliminate Ye Fan.

However, as they exited the hall’s doors, they were instantly enveloped by hundreds of large banners, becoming lost within and completely unable to break through.

This was a Dao Glyph restriction Ye Fan had specially laid when he entered.

He had used it before in the Immortal Hall; it was capable of trapping even an old demon’s physical body.

Chaos erupted among the crowd, but they were helpless.

There was simply no way out; this place was completely cut off from the myriad realms.

“I wish to know, where did you obtain this fire furnace?” the Jiang Family’s future Divine King suddenly asked via divine scan.

The voice was androgynous, making it impossible to discern if it was male or female, adding to their mystique.

Could it be related to your Jiang Family’s Taiyang God Furnace?

Ye Fan whirled around, his gaze falling upon the Jiang Family’s Divine King Body, which was completely encased in divine armor.

“It is vastly different from the Taiyang God Furnace I have seen, yet it possesses a similar aura,” the Jiang Family’s Divine King Body replied.

Ye Fan wasted no time and walked straight over to Yao Xi.

Her expression changed instantly; the enmity between them ran too deep.

Yao Xi had a beautiful body, graceful and elegant, with a peerless beauty that could topple nations.

She possessed both the allure of a Demoness and the noble purity of a sacred lady, making her incredibly captivating.

Yet now, she found it difficult to remain calm; the situation was exceedingly unfavorable for her.

“Such a beauty, and yet…” Ye Fan materialized a large golden hand, using it to lift Yao Xi’s chin in an almost taunting gesture.

“Ye Fan, you—!” Below, the members of the Flickering Light Sacred Land were about to erupt.

Their sacred lady represented sanctity and was not to be desecrated.

Yet Ye Fan dared to commit such an act in public!

The others also grew tense.

Ye Fan’s audacity was boundless!

He was clearly not just targeting these few.

The successors of the various Sacred Lands were likely all in danger; he might even desecrate the Sacred Lands themselves.
