Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 442: Chapter 447 One Thought Flower Blooming, Monarch Over the World

The Myriad Transformations Saint Technique, capable of transforming all divine arts into the mundane, was peerless in the world, frighteningly extreme!

No matter how powerful a person was, if they could not wield their techniques and were thoroughly suppressed, they could only end in defeat. The Myriad Transformations Saint Technique was truly unpredictable and boundlessly powerful.

Ye Fan used the Fighting Saint Technique to confront it, escaping the earlier crisis. Otherwise, he would have faced a life-and-death tribulation, as all his divine arts were rendered mundane, losing their divine charm.

Those observing the battle were astonished because Hua Yunfei’s Strange Technique was ever-changing, without a fixed form, yet it possessed an eerie power that turned his opponent’s wonders into decay.

Previously, once this method was unleashed, all of Ye Fan’s secret arts had been suppressed, leaving everyone baffled. Only now had there been a change.

SNAP.

Ye Fan clasped his hands in a seal, making a light snapping sound. Then, with a rumble, a terrifying Qi erupted, shaking the heart and soul.

The Fighting Saint Technique was also ever-changing, but it did not suppress the enemy; instead, it was the mightiest offensive, a crushing combat force!

He swept his hands through the void, forming the imprint of the Dao. He manifested an ancient bronze coffin as nine True Dragons appeared simultaneously, bearing iron chains and pulling the ancient coffin forward.

Everyone was startled. This was a secret art. How could even a coffin be summoned in battle? What did this signify? Was it to send the opponent to their death?!

Ye Fan had merely experienced a moment of inspiration. He thought of the nine dragons pulling the coffin and directly manifested it, activating the Fighting Saint Technique to materialize an ultimate, fierce killing intent.

BOOM.

Hua Yunfei’s eyes flashed with Divine Radiance and then vanished. His hands formed seals. His left hand wielded a Divine Mountain, pressing down, while his right hand transformed into a Heaven-Flipping Seal, forcefully slapping down.

The Great Mountain was like the sky itself, towering and majestic, filling the heavens as it smashed towards the bronze coffin. The Heaven-Flipping Seal was even more formidable, like the sky overturning as it pressed down, aiming to crush the nine True Dragons.

Ye Fan felt a strange sensation: from the aspect of its ever-changing transformations, his opponent’s Myriad Transformations Saint Technique was very much like the Fighting Saint Technique—similarly complex and profound.

However, their Mysterious Meanings were completely different. One aimed to transform the opponent into the mundane, extinguishing all miracles, while the other was the strongest offense, advancing relentlessly.

BOOM!

Between heaven and earth was a white expanse, as if hundreds or thousands of suns had been gathered and were suspended in the heavenly universe, emitting blazing light.

The Divine Mountain struck the ancient coffin, producing a heaven-shaking roar, but it could not shatter it. The Heaven-Flipping Seal smacked the nine True Dragons, splitting the clouds, yet it did not break them.

The nine dragons pulled the coffin, advancing fiercely. Their dragon roars echoed through the Nine Heavens. Their powerful dragon bodies cut through space, pulling the bronze coffin with a rumble as they charged forward.

This was an unstoppable momentum. The nine True Dragons had dark, gleaming bodies, their scales each half a meter long. Their dragon bodies were like a steel Great Wall, crushing the sky and destroying all obstacles.

The bronze coffin was like the Dao itself: at times ethereal and elusive, at others vast as a deep sea. It was immeasurable, covered with Innate Patterns, from which hung image after image of the Dao.

BANG.

Hua Yunfei’s expression changed. He exerted all his might to counter. A segment of the starry sky appeared, activated by his Myriad Transformations Saint Technique, with endless stars cutting off the path ahead.

He took the Transformation Rune to its extreme; if a divine art was too fierce to be decayed in a short time, it would be transformed to vanish into his Outer Domain.

Hua Yunfei cut off the firmament, appearing as if he stood on the other side of the starry sky, an immense distance away, temporarily avoiding the attack’s edge.

BOOM!

However, the nine dragons pulling the coffin pervaded all places. They broke through the heavenly chasm, crossed the star domain, and suddenly appeared before him, crushing down with their powerful dragon bodies and the ancient, majestic coffin.

This was a confrontation of the Dao. One wielded the Heaven-Cutting Path; the other broke the formation with the Heaven Transformation Path. It was a head-on confrontation, attacking into that small pocket of heaven and earth.

BANG!

Hua Yunfei’s hands formed seals, forcing him into a direct confrontation. He transformed billions of starlit streaks for his use, with tens of thousands of silver waterfalls cascading down to strike at the nine dragons pulling the coffin.

Moreover, his hands constantly formed seals, pushing the Myriad Transformations Saint Technique to its extreme, controlling endless Star Power to break the nine True Dragons and the ancient coffin.

It was an intense clash, a terrifying confrontation. Hua Yunfei wielded the power of the star domain, operating the Myriad Transformations Saint Technique. It should have been utterly destructive, yet the current situation was ominous.

He knitted his brows. He felt that his opponent’s divine art could not be transformed; his almighty Holy Technique was proving somewhat difficult to use at this moment.

In the end, he transformed a descending galaxy, coagulating it into an endless Star Sea. This finally shattered the nine dragons pulling the coffin that rumbled forward, causing them to disappear from the world.

But what left Hua Yunfei speechless was that Ye Fan launched a second, then a third attack… continuously. It was still the nine dragons pulling the coffin, without any change, as if Ye Fan was determined to defeat him with this single move.

From afar, the spectators were all dumbstruck. What kind of attack was this? It was so unconventional! They had never seen anyone summon a coffin during a duel. How could such a thing even be innovated?!

This was born from the practitioner’s enlightenment and evolution. Everyone was quite speechless. Could it be that this child always thought of coffins when he sought Enlightenment? He was truly ‘one of a kind’!

Among the crowd, only Li Xiaoman understood what was happening. She was lost in thought, her gaze distant. She thought of her hometown, recalling everything from the past: Mt. Tai, and the dragon and coffin lying in the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Land.

Hua Yunfei employed all he had learned to refine these nine dragons and the coffin. He attempted to utterly shatter this natural image of the Dao, to attack until Ye Fan lost all confidence to perform it.

Ye Fan did not want the world to know he cultivated the Fighting Saint Technique; hence, there were not a plethora of changes. But merely using this one tactic was not a sustainable solution, so he quickly adapted.

BUZZ!

The void trembled. He manifested the Heaven-devouring Demon Jar. WITH A CLANG, the magic lid flew off. The hollow jar, like an Abyss, attempted to swallow Hua Yunfei.

Simultaneously, on the magic lid, a ghostly face was also formed, imprinted in the void, suppressing Hua Yunfei.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was again startled. They found Ye Fan too unconventional; each of his moves was a surprise, yet possessed boundless power.

Hua Yunfei’s momentum grew even greater. The Myriad Transformations Saint Technique was pushed to its extreme. An invisible killing intent surged out, and unconsciously, his demeanor turned somewhat cold.

Ye Fan knew that, regardless of anything else, Hua Yunfei was definitely in trouble. The Myriad Transformations Saint Technique had already begun to show its flaws. If he pressed just a little harder, his opponent would surely be unable to continue hiding his Demon Technique.

BOOM.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, endlessly attacking. The situation nearly reached a fever pitch.

Ye Fan began to contemplate how to defeat his enemy; the Fighting Saint Technique was ever-changing and should be able to exhibit its proper power.

At this moment, Hua Yunfei had already sensed that his opponent must possess a Holy Technique capable of resisting the Myriad Transformations Saint Technique, making it hard to suppress him. Yet, Hua Yunfei held no fear and commenced his final strike!

POP. POP…

Under the starry sky, Hua Yunfei stood alone. Immortal Flowers blossomed one by one, their petals crystalline, swirling and dancing around him.

BANG. BANG.

His hands continuously pressed down. Each petal was imbued with his Transformation Rune, becoming his Enlightenment Flower, gleaming with radiant colors, transparent and flickering.

SWISH, SWISH…

The sky filled with falling petals. Resplendent light beams and myriad colorful glows rushed towards Ye Fan, attempting to drown and seal him forever.

Suddenly, Ye Fan also became ethereal, no longer as oppressive as before. He clenched his fists and moved, Innate Dao Patterns flickering, filled with Dao Qi.

This was a physical ability he had been secretly pondering ever since arriving in this world, but he had never used it before. Now, he evolved it with the Fighting Saint Technique, revealing it to the world for the first time.

Tai Chi Saint Technique!

This technique naturally contained the meaning of the Dao and could conceal the Fighting Saint Technique, making it most suitable to display at this moment.

BOOM!

Ye Fan’s fists seemed like stars, his eyes like swords. His waist was dragon-shaped, his legs like lightning. Within his agility, a masculine Qi was birthed, balancing Yin and Yang, and his Golden Blood Qi surged to the sky.

PUFF. PUFF…

He smashed an Immortal Flower with one punch. Even though they were all engraved with Hua Yunfei’s Myriad Transformations Saint Technique, they still couldn’t maintain their integrity, shattering one by one.

All observers were shocked. The Tai Chi divine art was very peculiar and unseen before. It inherently possessed Dao Qi that made people fearful.

WHOOSH.

Hua Yunfei stood atop an Immortal Flower, his clothes fluttering like an exiled Immortal descending. He didn’t intend to approach for close combat; instead, he was about to unleash an unparalleled Killing Saint Technique.

An endless flower rain fell, each petal crystalline. Hua Yunfei looked like a deity plucking flowers and smiling—flawless, immaculate, and incomparably sacred. Each petal was imprinted with his mark.

CRASH!

A breeze swept by. Looking ahead, the sky was full of Hua Yunfei’s figures. It was impossible to distinguish whether they were petals or a million manifested bodies; the real and fake were indiscernible.

Everyone was shocked. Even employing powerful spiritual perception, they could not discern the truth, making it hard to tell which was his True Body.

The void was annihilating. A powerful aura enveloped the heavens and earth, indescribably oppressive, as if heralding the end of the world.

Was this really a cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm? Many were shaken, their hearts palpitating, and they quickly retreated.

Even a body as strong as Ye Fan’s felt pangs of pain. As the petals and myriad figures pressed in, he felt as if he were about to crack open. An immense and dangerous Qi enveloped him.

An Absolute Killing Technique!

Ye Fan’s heart grew solemn as he recalled the Black Emperor’s words: the Great Emperor of Ruthlessness had created the ‘One Thought Flower Blooming, Ruling the World’ Holy Technique. Each flower could transform into a True Body, making it a peerless killing art!

One Thought Flower Blooming, Ruling the World—it perfectly encapsulated its divine charm!

At this moment, combined with the Myriad Transformations Saint Technique, it was truly terrifying beyond compare. This was an absolute kill; Hua Yunfei had finally used a forbidden means.

Ye Fan evolved Tai Chi with the Fighting Saint Technique, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and crack. He elevated his combat power to the extreme, and his Golden Blood Qi boiled completely!

BOOM.

The world erupted and the void shattered. As his hands traced patterns in the air, a Yin Yang fish appeared, flowing with Dao Qi!

Then, the Yin Yang fish metamorphosed. The fish leaped and transformed into a dragon, reaching an ultimate sublimation. It spewed out a Dao Scroll, mysterious and unfathomable.

BOOM.

The Yin fish leaped out, transformed into a dragon, and flew forth. It shattered a piece of the sky and ground many petals into powder.

DONG!

The Yang fish also transformed into a dragon. Holding a natural image of the Dao in its mouth, it struck towards Hua Yunfei, who was atop an Immortal Flower. The dragon’s body was intensely firm and Supreme Yang, like a bursting dam—unstoppable.

CRACK.

The Immortal Flower beneath Hua Yunfei cracked. A wisp of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth as he flew backward. For the first time, he showed an expression of shock. He had deployed his deadly technique, yet he was still injured!

In the present age, few still knew what kind of meaning “One Thought Flower Blooming, Ruling the World” represented, for this unparalleled Holy Technique had been extinguished in the sands of history.

Otherwise, this place would have already erupted. The divine might of this technique was unstoppable. If not for Ye Fan evolving Tai Chi with the Fighting Saint Technique, any other move would hardly have withstood it.

This time, Hua Yunfei said nothing further. His eyes suddenly became slightly vacant. Then, he let out a long howl. With a thunderous roar, the world was painted black as ink. Boundless cloud and mist enveloped him and Ye Fan, completely isolating them from the outside world.

Now, no one could see through the barrier, nor could they hear anything. They were unable to sense how the fierce battle inside was progressing.

“You’ve finally displayed your Demon Technique?” Ye Fan said coldly from within the endless black mist.

Hua Yunfei did not respond. His body was like a bottomless pit, his entire person as deep as an Abyss, devouring all light.

“One Thought Flower Blooming, Ruling the World! Myriad Transformations Saint Technique! I Alone Am Lord!”

Hua Yunfei’s entire demeanor completely changed. His black hair danced wildly, his eyes were vacant and terrifying beyond compare. His celestial aura vanished entirely, and he now resembled a Demon God.

BOOM!

Overwhelming murderous intent, like an oceanic surge, suddenly submerged Ye Fan.

“You want to suppress me with techniques? That’s a miscalculation. I have Holy Techniques I haven’t even shown yet!” Ye Fan sneered. Now that this place was isolated and those outside could not see through, he no longer had any scruples. He simultaneously unleashed the Fighting Saint Technique and the All Secret Holy Technique!

After hundreds of cycles, WITH A BOOM, the sky collapsed! A catastrophic great collapse occurred here!

The All Secret emerged, elevating the Tai Chi Dao Power evolved by his Fighting Saint Technique tenfold! What did this mean? It was equivalent to ten Ye Fans simultaneously striking Hua Yunfei!

BOOM.

The void collapsed. People were startled to discover Hua Yunfei’s head flying out, blood splashing everywhere. The isolated pocket of heaven and earth had been shattered by Ye Fan.
