Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 315 - 316 Chapter 321 Northern Region Shaken

316: Chapter 321: Northern Region Shaken 316: Chapter 321: Northern Region Shaken Ye Fan felt his blood and qi churn, his ears ringing and vision blurred; he nearly coughed up blood.

Yang Yi was a true powerhouse of the First Layer Heaven of the Four Extremes, far stronger than Xu Yuan’s subordinates.

Wielding the Vajra, his might was unstoppable.

After more than a hundred attempts, Ye Fan finally activated the All Secret of the Nine Secrets again.

Facing weapons interwoven with Dao and principles, even powerful figures from the Four Extremes secret boundary wouldn’t be able to retreat unscathed.

He had to exhaust all his capabilities to contend.

DONG, DONG…

Upon successfully triggering the All Secret of the Nine Secrets, Ye Fan took down his cauldron.

Holding it in his left hand, he struck towards the sky, while his other hand swung the God-beating Whip, violently clashing with the Vajra.

Ten times his combat power finally held off this terrifying Treasure Jade.

The sky nearly exploded, and the deafening sound echoed like the Holy Bell of the Ancient Heavenly Court roaring.

The red earth trembled, devastated by the assault.

Under the night sky, boundless divine energy raged in all directions, like an ocean in turmoil.

They clashed dozens of times, making heaven and earth shudder with each strike.

When the influence of the All Secret was about to vanish, Yang Yi’s face turned as pale as snow, losing all color.

BUZZ!

The void trembled.

The Vajra steadied in the air, its silver light dazzling.

It formed into a ring-shaped black hole, devouring everything.

It seemed like a real black hole in the Endless Star Domain, absorbing heaven and earth.

Giant rocks on the ground and endless sand were drawn upwards, like rivers reversing their flow into the sky.

Any earth and stones that approached were instantly crushed by it, turning into flying ash; nothing could remain.

No matter what it was, anything that came into contact with that place would become powder and cease to exist!

Ye Fan’s expression changed immediately.

He hadn’t expected the Vajra to be so terrifying, capable of being used in such a manner.

A weapon interwoven with the texture of heaven and earth—too dreadful, its power unimaginable!

He took out the Five-Colored Feather Fan he had seized and swung it mightily.

The Treasure Fan, capable of shattering mountains and rivers, stirred up the Five-Colored Divine Wind, blowing it forward.

RUMBLE!

However, even such a spiritual treasure was useless.

The Vajra was now as large as a grinding disc, its black hole equally vast, possessing unmatched devouring power.

A loud RUMBLE sounded.

Ye Fan was pulled by a massive force, drawn towards the black hole.

“Damn that ancestor of yours!

He’s really treating me as if I were a Saint Heir!” Ye Fan cursed, fiercely throwing the Five-Colored Feather Fan in his hand forward while simultaneously enlarging the cauldron, preparing to strike the black hole.

CRACK!

A shocking event occurred: the power of the Five-Colored Feather Fan, which Ye Fan had personally experienced as extremely dreadful, was now shattered in the black hole, destroyed instantly.

Indeed, it couldn’t even resist for an instant.

With a flash of brilliant light, the Five-Colored Feather Fan turned to ash, making Ye Fan’s heart pound.

“I forgot to tell you: my ancestor was of the same generation as the Peacock King.

His treasures were interwoven with the texture of heaven and earth eight hundred years ago.

Your death under this treasure is not in vain!” Yang Yi’s face grew even paler.

His divine energy was too depleted; the Vajra was strong, but it was beyond his ability to wield it as he pleased.

Ye Fan remained silent.

He once again activated the All Secret, enlarging the cauldron to over nine meters and fiercely striking upwards.

Yet, the black hole formed by the Vajra possessed incredible power.

It began to shrink the cauldron, drawing it in.

Ye Fan was shocked and hurriedly activated it, desperately contending.

The Origin Qi is a holy divine relic, but it hadn’t yet spawned the texture of heaven and earth and was unable to manifest divine arts; it only possessed resilience.

DONG!

With all his might, he contended.

Finally, when the cauldron had shrunk to just over three meters high, it struck the Vajra.

The sky quaked violently!

Yang Yi could bear it no longer.

His face was bloodless as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

DONG!

Ye Fan activated the Origin Qi Cauldron, striking fiercely again and causing the Vajra to shake violently.

Yang Yi, impacted by the blow, nearly fell from high above.

At this moment, Ye Fan also charged upward, avoiding the black hole.

He swung the God-beating Whip, fiercely striking the edge of the ring-shaped Vajra.

BUZZ!

The void quivered.

The Vajra shrank to the size of a palm, spinning rapidly in the air with gleaming silver light, and the black hole vanished.

Yang Yi’s divine energy was insufficient to sustain it, so the black hole disappeared.

Ye Fan activated the Great Cauldron.

Origin Qi descended and, SWISH, he collected the Vajra inside.

He didn’t want to face this terrifying weapon again.

The Vajra’s power, after being interwoven with Dao and principles, was frighteningly vast—enough to terrify him.

DONG, DONG, DONG…

Even though Yang Yi’s divine energy was depleted, he still persisted in attempting to activate the Vajra, still possessing formidable combat power.

The Vajra clashed within the cauldron, causing the Great Cauldron to buzz and shake violently, repeatedly sounding out.

Ye Fan endured.

Wielding the God-beating Whip, he charged forward, collapsing the void and aiming directly at Yang Yi’s head.

Radiance flashed as Yang Yi summoned seven or eight spiritual treasures, but these items couldn’t stop the God-beating Whip.

CRACK, CRACK…

The sound of shattering continued as all the spiritual treasures were broken.

Various sparkling treasure fragments transformed into a splendid meteor shower under the night sky, falling from the heavens.

“Ah…” Yang Yi’s divine sense suffered.

He clutched his forehead, screaming, as Ye Fan swung the God-beating Whip, fiercely striking down.

SNAP!

The head shattered, white brain matter and crimson blood splattering together as the corpse fell from the sky.

Finally, everything calmed down.

Stars dotted the sky, the moonlight was like water, and the earth was a mess, destroyed beyond recognition by the battle.

Ye Fan landed on the ground and exhaled deeply; the battle was finally over.

The power of the Vajra was beyond imagination.

However, the gains were immense.

From now on, he could use the God-beating Whip for close combat and this Treasure Jade for ranged attacks; complementing each other, they would elevate his combat power to a new level.

Under the bright moonlight, the Vajra was luminous and entirely silver-white, with naturally formed Dao Glyphs, as if crafted by heaven.

Ye Fan dared not be careless.

He used Origin Qi to stabilize it, then sent out his divine sense, entering the Vajra.

He felt that even if such an important weapon had been lent to Yang Yi by a significant figure, they would likely have left some mark.

Sure enough, when he reached the deepest part of the Vajra, a dangerous aura rushed forth.

SWOOSH!

He quickly withdrew.

A strand of divine sense pursued him, and a phantasmal figure materialized in the void, lunging toward Ye Fan.

SNAP!

Ye Fan directly swung the God-beating Whip, striking three times, turning that strand of divine sense into flying ash.

Then, he entered the Vajra again, finding its interior bright and clean, flawless and unsullied, a radiant and crystalline expanse, like a piece of the Starry Sky.

To think the interior of a weapon woven with Dao and principles is like this…

At this point, Ye Fan felt reassured; this Treasure Jade completely belonged to him.

After this battle, he also became more vigilant.

Despite having the God-beating Whip in hand, some weapons couldn’t be shattered easily, and he was helpless against others’ divine sense.

The starlight dispersed.

Ye Fan carved the sixth ‘Ye’ character, shouldered the God-beating Whip, and walked alone into the depths of the scarlet land, disappearing without a trace.

「Three days later, news spread from Anzhou:」 Two disciples trained by the Flickering Light Sacred Land’s reclusive Elders had met an untimely fate, leaving only two heads; their bodies had turned into flying ash.

The only clue was that next to each head, a ‘Ye’ character was carved—vigorous and powerful, full of murderous intent and provocation.

News rapidly spread that Ye Fan had slain Flickering Light disciples in Anzhou, causing many people to rush there.

「Only a day apart, news came from Kunzhou:」 Ye Fan had fought fiercely with Flickering Light disciple Qin Tai, using the Vajra to turn him into ash.

Upon hearing this news, many oases were shocked.

Especially some elder figures, all of whom were aware that the Vajra was the weapon of a significant figure from Flickering Light.

“What happened?

How did Flickering Light’s important weapon end up in Ye Fan’s hands, reducing Flickering Light’s disciples to ashes?” “You don’t know yet?

Flickering Light’s reclusive Elder lineage wanted to contest for the Saint Heir position with Flickering Light’s orthodox line, so they sent ten disciples to kill Ye Fan…” In the nearby oases, many cultivators were discussing this fervently.

“This is blatant provocation.

Flickering Light sent ten top masters to hunt Ye Fan, but some ended up being slain by him instead.” “Is Ye Fan really between Anzhou and Kunzhou?

Couldn’t it be someone else doing this?” “It should be him.

Someone saw it with their own eyes; the one who slew Qin Tai with the Vajra was definitely him.” Yang Yi, Gu Litian, and others had been killed amidst the scarlet land, yet no one had discovered their bodies.

The known deaths of three disciples had already caused chaos externally.

「At night, the campfire flickered, and Ye Fan converged with Tu Fei and the Black Emperor.」 “Incredible!

The people from Flickering Light would turn green if they knew about this…” Tu Fei commented after learning the result.

“I really hope you can break the curse, enter the Four Extremes secret boundary, and once again showcase the supreme majesty of the sacred body.” Ye Fan replied, “I’m looking forward to the Northern Domain Holy City.

A million catties of Source—I’m counting on the stone materials from the various Sacred Lands.” Tu Fei laughed heartily.

“There’s only one of the ten masters left!

If they’re all annihilated and the news spreads, the northern region will shake, and Flickering Light Sacred Land will lose all face!” 「Two days later, Ye Fan, Tu Fei, and the Black Emperor found the last person in Kunzhou.」 He once again used the Vajra to kill him, and many, hearing the news, came to witness it.

Ji Haoyue, Xia Jiuyou, and some Saint Heirs appeared at the scene.

Ye Fan saw them from afar and directly traversed the void with the Black Emperor and Tu Fei, departing.

Unless he entered the Four Extremes secret boundary, he would not engage in combat with the various Saint Heirs, striving to avoid them.

With everything settled in Anzhou and Kunzhou, Ye Fan embarked on his journey toward the Northern Domain Holy City.

“Go find Li Heishui.

He’s been frequenting the Holy City for more than half a year…” This was the information Tu Fei shared before departing.

Ye Fan concluded his affairs and departed.

「In the aftermath, Anzhou and Kunzhou were shaken.

The bodies in the depths of the scarlet ground were finally discovered one by one, with six glaring ‘Ye’ characters etched into the scene.」 Flickering Light was shaken!

Many cultivators in the northern region were shaken!

Flickering Light’s reclusive Elder lineage had dispatched ten disciples to hunt Ye Fan, but all of them ended up slain between Anzhou and Kunzhou.

This was an incredibly loud slap in the face, causing Flickering Light Sacred Land to lose all dignity.

The so-called ten top masters became a joke, all killed by Ye Fan alone.

Even the prized treasure of a major figure from Flickering Light—the Vajra—fell into Ye Fan’s hands.

This was truly an embarrassing matter for them.

A single ‘Ye’ character for each of the ten lives; all ten disciples of Flickering Light’s reclusive lineage perished.

This stirred waves of shock, leaving many tongue-tied and in utter disbelief.

“Those were ten elite members of Flickering Light Sacred Land’s reclusive lineage!

Though they couldn’t match the outstanding disciples of Flickering Light’s orthodox line, they were extraordinary nonetheless.

Yet, they were wiped out by Ye Fan, the sacred body?!” “This… it’s hard to believe!” Most people had only heard about this battle; it was almost impossible for them to have witnessed it firsthand.

Yet, news of it was spreading furiously.

Among the younger generation, every Saint Heir was on alert.

They didn’t care about Ye Fan’s current power; even if he entered the Fifth Layer Heaven, they wouldn’t pay him much mind.

But what if he broke the curse and stepped into the Four Extremes secret boundary?

When everyone considered this prospect, they shivered uncontrollably.

Even the Divine King Body, Ji Haoyue, and the exceptionally talented Xia Jiuyou were lost in deep thought.

However, almost no one believed Ye Fan could break the curse, because all sacred bodies cultivated by past Sacred Lands had halted at the Dao Palace secret boundary.

This turmoil swept across the northern region; Ye Fan heard much about it on his journey.

「Half a month later, he was finally nearing the Northern Domain Holy City.」 (To be continued.
