Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 405 - 406 Chapter 411 Sacred Body Breakthrough

406: Chapter 411: Sacred Body Breakthrough 406: Chapter 411: Sacred Body Breakthrough Moonlight flowed like water, pouring down, resembling smoke and mist, rendering the divine city hazy.

Beside the Dragon Transformation Pool, Ye Fan’s gaze was clear as he gazed at the starry sky.

He was very quiet, motionless; only his hair danced lightly, his white clothes fluttering.

He uttered no words.

The final layer of Heavenly Tribulation has yet to descend, and it’s bound to be a storm of violent winds and torrential rain, of monstrous waves crashing against the shore.

He remained fully focused and on guard.

Not a single cultivator could remain calm; all were shocked, their clamor piercing the sky, the atmosphere nearly boiling over.

“Has he succeeded in breaking through?

I can feel it; he seems to have entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm.” “Is this true?

It has been over one hundred thousand years since the sacred body of Ancient Desolation found cultivation difficult.

Is it about to break the curse today?” “It’s truly shocking; the sacred body succeeded in breaking through, achieving Minor Success.

In the future, he might reach the peak, rivaling the Great Emperor.” Everyone was discussing it.

Ye Fan had resisted four Heavenly Tribulations and, surprisingly, survived, refining his form with lightning.

What kind of opportunity was this?

Since ancient times, cultivators facing Heavenly Tribulations had been rare.

He had experienced the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation on his divine scan and fleshly body, which would bring endless benefits for his future cultivation, making countless cultivators envious and jealous.

“The sacred body really broke through, creating a miracle in the Post-Ancient Desolation Era!” “How is this possible?

Didn’t the ancient sages say the world had changed, making the sacred body unable to cultivate…” “Truly shocking!

What does a curse-breaking sacred body signify?

In the future, he might rival the Great Emperors of ancient times!” At this moment, no one could remain unaffected, because many had already seen that Ye Fan had indeed broken through, successfully advancing into the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

The Golden-winged Little Peng King stood tall, strong and vigorous.

His golden hair flew wildly, his eyes were full of wildness, his war attire glinted with a cold brilliance, and his cloak fluttered fiercely.

He felt a sense of pressure.

Staring at Ye Fan, his expression changed for the first time.

Sharp beams shot from his eyes, murderous intent permeated the air, and his battle spirit soared higher.

The Yaochi Saintess’s immortal body stood gracefully, her white dress otherworldly as mist coiled around her form.

Her beautiful eyes twinkled with a strange light.

Lost in thought, she looked towards Ye Fan, then to the night sky.

On the other side, the Flickering Light Saint Heir remained calm, surrounded by one hundred and eight Divine Rings, appearing almost divine.

His expression was unchanged, yet waves rippled in his heart.

He was considered a rare genius in ancient history, possessing awe-inspiring talent.

When he broke through into the Four Extremes, he had also triggered a Heavenly Tribulation, but it had never been this terrifying.

Many elder figures believed he stood equal with young Great Emperors, yet now a sacred body had emerged, making him feel a heavy pressure.

The Purple Mansion Sacred Lady, an Innate Dao Embryo, was close to the Great Dao, embodying the state of ‘Heaven and man together,’ akin to a Profound Lady descended to the mortal world.

Yet at this moment, she too showed a change in expression.

Yao Xi, radiant as a bright pearl and like a divine lotus in its first bloom, felt waves rising in her heart.

She stared fixedly at Ye Fan in the distance.

What she had just witnessed made it difficult for her to regain her composure.

Among the younger generation, heirs from the Sacred Lands and outstanding disciples from major forces all felt pressure.

If the sacred body successfully advanced into the Four Extremes Secret Realm, it would be the most formidable opponent.

No one could remain at peace.

If anyone could still smile at this moment, it had to be An Miaoyi.

Hers was a smile that could topple cities, then a nation.

Her magnificent beauty was enough to cause chaos throughout the world, to bewitch all living beings.

Her Flawless Jade Body possessed perfect curves.

Her dress danced lightly, and her skin shimmered with a crystalline luster.

Her smile was incredibly captivating, her gaze like flowing water, her skin snowy white and smooth.

Even the bright moon in the sky seemed to lose its brilliance before her, causing many cultivators’ hearts to sway, almost losing their composure.

The prominent figures from the Sacred Lands of the Eastern Wastelands all remained silent.

The Jiang Family and the Wind Clan nurturing a curse-breaking sacred body was undoubtedly bad news for them.

Many dignitaries from the Central States who had come to observe were also frowning.

A Great Success Holy Body could live for ten thousand years.

If the young man before them matured, he would certainly reign over the world for ten thousand years!

Their descendants would undoubtedly be overawed for many generations.

Unless someone of Emperor Level emerged, who else could suppress a Great Success Holy Body?

Perhaps preventing him from maturing, extinguishing him forever in the early stages, would be the most permanent and best choice!

Ye Fan stood quietly by the Dragon Transformation Pool.

The Fifth Layer Heaven Tribulation had yet to appear.

The night sky was exceptionally gentle, with no hint of warning, no trace of danger.

“Perhaps this emperor guessed wrong.

The lightning bolts that struck you earlier were terrifying; even Chaotic Thunder appeared.

Maybe the heavens are too embarrassed and won’t send down any more Heavenly Tribulation,” the big black dog said, though not with complete certainty.

“HAHAHA…” The four elders of the Wind Clan laughed heartily, immensely relieved.

“In the future, a curse-breaking sacred body will be tied to the Wind Clan’s ancient war chariots!

This is enough to ensure our prosperity for ten thousand years!” “Good!

Today, the legend is finally shattered!” the Peacock King also nodded.

Many people from afar echoed these sentiments, conveying numerous congratulations and sending their good wishes.

The White-clothed Divine King showed a look of relief, yet he did not relax.

Holding the Fire God Furnace, he scanned all directions, fearing someone might take a desperate risk to attack.

However, the divine king’s concerns were excessive.

Those in the shadows remained silent and made no further moves.

They had only attempted to interfere earlier because they saw Ye Fan had a chance of breaking through and wanted to disrupt him.

But now, everything was settled.

With a peerless divine king guarding him, any action at this moment would likely result in heavy losses.

It would be far better to choose another time to smother the sacred body.

Under the night sky, a clamor arose.

Many people were chattering excitedly.

The sacred body, slumbering for over one hundred thousand years, had reawakened!

The invincible physique had reappeared in the world!

In the near future, it might shine with dazzling brilliance!

At this moment, only a small golden creature remained unaffected, busy with its own affairs.

It absorbed the vast amounts of enormous Qi pervading the sky and then stealthily snuck into the Dragon Transformation Pool.

The Red Dragon Daoist, the Peacock King, and others all witnessed this, but they did not stop it.

The Divine Sources were nearly depleted, with little remaining, so they didn’t drive the little fellow away.

Tonight, it was definitely the biggest winner.

Of the massive amount of Divine Source Essence Qi, most had dissipated into the night air, a portion was absorbed by Ye Fan, and a full half had been gobbled into the Divine Silkworm’s small belly.

This time, when confronting Ye Fan, it was almost fawning, no longer showing any ferocity.

Its big eyes blinked, full of little stars, and then it took a sudden plunge into the pool water.

“It’s done… I’ve entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm!” Ye Fan stood tall, gazing at the boundless night sky.

He then said, “Heavenly Tribulation, will you still strike me?” BOOM!

Suddenly, nine bolts of lightning struck down.

Everyone was stunned, dumbfounded.

Ye Fan’s words had just fallen, and lightning descended.

Is there truly a sovereign ruler in the shadows, one who does not permit mortals such provocation?

“Little kid Ye, why do you provoke the heavens?!” “He’s going to get struck by lightning again!” “Ye Fan, you’re really asking to be struck by lightning!” Tu Fei, Li Heishui, and Pang Bo exclaimed respectively, all sensing that things were taking a bad turn.

This time, Ye Fan directly threw a punch towards the sky.

Having advanced into the secret boundary, he was fearless.

His golden fist instantly shattered the nine bolts of lightning.

BOOM!

The second time, eighteen bolts of lightning struck down: nine aimed at Ye Fan, while the other nine fell into the Dragon Transformation Pool.

BANG!

Ye Fan extended a large golden hand and grabbed all nine bolts of lightning, erasing them instantly—a feat that left people in shock!

On the other side, the Divine Silkworm in the Dragon Transformation Pool screamed and ran with its head covered, but the nine bolts of lightning completely locked onto it, chasing after it, lightning sparkling around it.

“Something’s not right!

This is the Divine Silkworm’s Heavenly Tribulation!” “Oh my God!

The Divine Silkworm is also undergoing tribulation!

It was the one that attracted this terrifying thunder!” Everyone was stunned, dumbfounded.

It was obvious that Ye Fan had suffered collateral damage, passively dragged into this ordeal.

“Damn it!

That wretched Divine Silkworm is going to get little kid Ye killed!

He just finished being struck by lightning, and now, because of it, he has to go through it all over again!” Tu Fei cursed.

“I can’t believe it!

This Divine Silkworm is truly a jinx!

How did it trigger a tribulation too, dragging Ye Fan into it?!” Pang Bo worried.

“This unlucky Divine Silkworm!

It’s bad enough that it’s being struck by lightning, but it has to drag others down with it too!” Li Heishui also cursed.

No one was unshaken.

Heavenly Tribulations were rare throughout ancient times, yet two had appeared in a single day!

But upon closer thought, it made sense.

What kind of creature was the Divine Silkworm?

In the bygone Ancient ages, once it underwent nine transformations, it would become an invincible existence throughout Heaven and Earth.

If it were to break through, it would definitely face a Heavenly Tribulation, because it was just that heaven-defying.

Just moments ago, it had absorbed an immense amount of Divine Source Essence Qi and was beginning to transform.

The Divine Silkworm sped away, still thinking this had nothing to do with it, yet it could never escape the lightning.

It was struck until it stumbled and reeled, running about with its head covered.

Everyone was speechless, not knowing what to say.

This Divine Silkworm was too peculiar; it hadn’t even realized its own Heavenly Tribulation had arrived.

In the distance, the little white-robed nun’s mouth formed an ‘O’ as she shouted, “Little darling, don’t run anymore!

Quickly resist!

Only you yourself can overcome this!” The Divine Silkworm, covering its head, ran headlong towards Ye Fan.

It had seen Ye Fan withstand the tribulation earlier and now sought his protection.

“This damned Divine Silkworm!

It’s really going to get little kid Ye killed!

It should be skinned alive!” “You little thing, are you trying to kill me?!” Ye Fan really wanted to grab it and give it a sound thrashing.

The Divine Silkworm’s large eyes were full of grievance.

It still didn’t understand where the Heavenly Tribulation had come from.

It fled with its head covered, teary-eyed and pleading for help, looking utterly pitiful.

Ye Fan directly transmitted a divine scan to it, explaining to this simple little creature exactly what was happening.

Then, nearly coughing up blood, he began to resist a new round of Heavenly Tribulation.

He felt like cursing.

What kind of situation is this?!

“Kid, step back!

This emperor has carved some Array Patterns that can get you out of this mess!” at the critical moment, the Black Emperor sent a mental transmission.

“I’ve already been dragged into this.

Is there still a way to get out?” Ye Fan asked in surprised doubt.

“In the past, the Beginningless Great Emperor often faced Heavenly Tribulations, implicating many people.

Later, he created a type of Array Pattern that could allow those affected to avoid the calamity.” Ye Fan said no more.

Following the Black Emperor’s guidance, he retreated into a nearby area marked with Array Patterns, and all the lightning targeting him truly vanished.

He was shocked.

The Beginningless Great Emperor was truly an astonishing and brilliant talent, capable of deceiving even the heavens, finding ways to help people circumvent such calamities!

“Kid, be careful!

I’ve remembered something.

Your Heavenly Tribulation might not be over yet!” the big black dog cautiously warned him from the shadows.

“What?!” Ye Fan exclaimed, startled.

Elsewhere, the Divine Silkworm was running about chaotically, letting out shrill cries in an ancient tongue that frightened everyone into fleeing, terrified of being implicated.

The little golden creature felt extremely aggrieved.

Ultimately, it had to face its Heavenly Tribulation alone.

It was struck until it was teary-eyed and wailing loudly.

Yet astonishingly, despite being battered and staggering, it suffered no life-threatening injuries.

BUZZ!

Suddenly, the void trembled.

It was as if the sky of this entire Heavenly Universe was about to collapse, causing all cultivators to shiver, their hair standing on end with dread!

Ye Fan instantly sensed danger.

Gazing at the night sky, he felt an immense peril, as if the end of the world was approaching.

It induced a thought of utter despair.

This is definitely targeting me!

Under the moonlit night, countless Innate Patterns emerged, interweaving high in the sky to form a natural image of the Dao that slowly pressed down.

The void quivered, almost on the verge of collapse.

This diagram was unfathomably mysterious, seeming to embody the very form of the Great Dao.

It was suffocating, making it hard to breathe; one’s very soul trembled before it.

“What is this?” everyone thought, stunned and puzzled.

“Is this also a Heavenly Tribulation?

Why is there no lightning, no thunder, only the emergence of Innate Patterns?!” BOOM!

This expanse of Innate Patterns enshrouded Ye Fan beneath it.

“No wonder…

the sacred body truly has a curse that is difficult to break!” a Sect Hierarch from an immortal heritage in the Central States spoke.

“Ancient sages speculated that the path of the sacred body was severed.

All of this is true!

No wonder no Great Success Holy Body has appeared for over one hundred thousand years…

Heaven and Earth cannot condone it!” an elder from an Immortal Dynasty sighed.

The peerless divine king transmitted his voice to Ye Fan, “Don’t be distracted!

You must pass this trial!

I will help you!” “I will not give up!

I will forge ahead on this path!” Ye Fan also shouted.

“It’s no great matter!

Even if the path is broken, human effort can defy the heavens and reconnect it!” The voice of the peerless divine king echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.

He intended to help Ye Fan reconnect the severed path of the sacred body.
