Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 447: Chapter 452 Transformation

“You delivered yourself to my doorstep! Even if I kill you, the Divine King will have nothing to say!” The old woman swung her cane forward.

The cane flowed with green light. It was a bamboo stick, lush and vividly green, imprinted in the void where it sprouted new buds, brimming with vitality and limitless energy.

“BUZZ!”

Yet, the void was collapsing. The bamboo stick appeared light, but it was as heavy as ten thousand catties, shattering space as it struck toward Ye Fan.

The bamboo staff and the void merged into one, tracing the path of the Dao and possessing an immortal divine radiance as it whipped down with terrifying force.

“CLANG!”

Ye Fan swung the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sacred Spirit Sword to meet the attack, slashing at the green bamboo. The impact emitted a sound that could pierce gold and crack stone, threatening to shatter eardrums, as if one’s five organs resonated in unison, its ferocious power shaking the heavens.

A black Abyss appeared between them, revealed after the void shattered, devouring everything around it—a chilling sight.

My Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sacred Spirit Sword couldn’t even sever the bamboo staff! Ye Fan’s heart tightened. A strong practitioner at the fourth transition of Dragon Transformation is truly fearsome, fighting while wielding the imprints of the Dao.

The bamboo staff achieved Heaven and Earth Unity. The old woman was borrowing the immense power of heaven and earth, using the supreme Dao to suppress his physical body and his Holy Sword. The green bamboo seemed alive, representing sturdiness and immortality, as verdant as jade.

“SWISH!”

The old woman pressed forward. She appeared ancient but was more nimble than a ghost, moving like a streak of light as she continuously struck with her bamboo staff.

A tiny green bamboo shaft condensed the void and fused with the imprints of the Dao. It budded and sprouted new green shoots, its life imprints flowing, becoming increasingly unpredictable.

Ye Fan fought uncomfortably, feeling constrained and unable to fully unleash his Combat Power. This was a terrifying rhythm; the old woman controlled everything, invoking the might of the Great Dao.

She had made the Dao her own, standing in a commanding position. Her green bamboo staff was one with the Dao, embodying her will. The longer she fought, the more terrifying she became, and the heavens and earth gradually began to pulsate.

“CRACK!”

The old woman’s green bamboo swept over, aiming at Ye Fan’s head. As he dodged, it changed direction with a slash toward his chest and abdomen.

Ye Fan’s heart chilled. When he slashed out with the Holy Spirit Sword in his hand, he always felt somewhat sluggish, unable to unleash his full power. And just then, he finally sensed danger, as if the vast heavens were about to press down on him.

“CRACK! CRACK!”

The old woman’s green bamboo continued its unhurried strikes. The pulsation of the heavens and earth grew stronger, this terrifying rhythm resonating with the bamboo staff.

This is bad! Ye Fan’s expression changed. This was the sign of an earth-shattering attack about to be launched.

“BUZZ!”

The old woman planted the green bamboo staff in mid-air and gave it a fierce shake. The Power of the Dao flowed out, initially like a gentle breeze and soft rain, then like a mighty river striking the heavens—immeasurably vast.

The bamboo staff was reborn, vividly green, transforming into a towering ancient bamboo with lush green leaves. It swayed, shedding endless bamboo flowers, snow-white, crystalline, and bright.

“BOOM!”

This expanse of heaven and earth collapsed. Countless bamboo staffs appeared in the void, as verdant as jade, striking toward Ye Fan all at once, like tens of thousands of True Dragons coiling and dancing.

Those were imprints—vibrant, green life imprints. The old woman had struck tens of thousands of times, and the force of each strike had been imprinted into the void, now erupting all at once.

Wherever the bamboo staff had struck, a green bamboo shaft now appeared, condensing Dao imprints and launching an overwhelmingly destructive attack.

The old woman had unhurriedly struck tens of thousands of times, all for this final, earth-shattering blow. Tens of thousands of imprints revived, and the Great Dao bore down!

Ye Fan resisted with all his might, forced to defend. His golden Sea of Bitterness emerged, surging high into the sky amidst flashes of lightning and claps of thunder, blocking the tens of thousands of imprints.

“BOOM!”

This was a violent collision. Dazzling light burst forth between them, unleashing an incredibly terrifying and oppressive Qi Mechanism that rushed out in all directions.

The disparity in Realm between Ye Fan and the old woman was vast. Only he, capable of “Reverse Immortal Slaying,” could withstand such a terrifying onslaught; any ordinary person would have been reduced to ashes.

This was a deadly trap the old woman had laid through Transformation, yet he had forcefully endured it. Surrounded by the golden Sea of Bitterness, his Blood Qi seethed, his Golden Saint Body as if wreathed in flames.

“BANG!”

He brandished the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sacred Spirit Sword, splitting the sky. He finally unleashed his Combat Power, no longer constrained as before. A black Great Dragon danced.

“BOOM!”

The Holy Sword and the Sea of Bitterness resonated, obliterating the tens of thousands of Dao imprints. The void collapsed extensively, transforming into a shattered Great Rift Valley, dark and deep, engulfing the energy of heaven and earth.

“You’ve got a few tricks, you little beast!” The old woman’s voice was cold, her heart far from calm. He’s so many Realms below me, yet he actually broke the deadly trap I set!

This old woman is terrifying! Behind them, Pang Bo’s eyes gleamed, silver light flowing. His Demon Emperor Nine Slashes was on the verge of being unleashed, a dragon-shaped Divine Radiance looming indistinctly.

The old woman turned her cold gaze back, seemingly sensing the killing intent. She stared at him and said, “If you’re looking to die, then go ahead and attack!”

“Old hag!” Pang Bo was not intimidated and prepared to strike.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended again. A distant earthen mound crumbled, and a white-haired, disheveled old man burst out. He looked like a large macaque, with arms that extended past his knees. His entire being was gaunt, yet he was full of vigor, his eyes gleaming like golden lamps.

“Another terrifying expert at the fourth transition of Dragon Transformation!” Tu Fei and Li Heishui gasped, sucking in a cold breath. We never expected two such masters in this secret place. It seems they regard these children highly; they must all be little geniuses.

Ye Fan retreated, holding the pitiful little girl. Two great experts appearing at once… He felt a shiver of apprehension. The disparity in our Realms is immense. The old woman was already very difficult to deal with, and now another disheveled old man has appeared.

Pang Bo stepped forward to stand with Ye Fan, ready to face these two terrifying old individuals.

“You dare to trespass the Pure Land of the Yin Yang Sect? You reckless fools who don’t know life from death!” The disheveled old man’s killing intent was palpable, his snow-white teeth looking chillingly cold. “It seems my emergence from seclusion is perfectly timed. If I destroy this sacred body and drink his blood, I can extend my lifespan.”

“Indeed,” the old woman chimed in. “He delivered himself to his death. Even that Divine King will have nothing to say.”

“You old undying fiends, just wait until I cut off your heads!” Ye Fan sneered, quickly sending a voice transmission to Pang Bo, the Black Emperor, Tu Fei, and the others.

The two elders joined forces, pressing forward. With every step they took, the void trembled. They were six entire Realms above Ye Fan—truly terrifying foes.

If it were any other cultivators from the Four Extremes secret boundary, a single poke of a finger would have killed them. Only Ye Fan, and Pang Bo who had achieved the Four Extremes circle of perfection, could possibly withstand them.

The pitiful little girl secretly opened her eyes. Seeing the two elders, she was instantly terrified and hurriedly covered her large eyes with her small hands.

“Pitiful Little Girl, don’t be afraid. We’ll leave in a little while,” Ye Fan softly comforted her.

“You went through all this trouble just for this forgetful little brat…” The disheveled old man revealed a cruel smile.

“You’ve lived for so many years, yet you have the gall to say such inhuman words?!” Ye Fan coldly rebuked.

“Bringing her into the Yin Yang Sect is her fortune!” the old woman stated indifferently.

Ye Fan was furious. The pitiful little girl was abducted and brought here, suffered all sorts of grievances, couldn’t even get enough to eat, and they call *that* her fortune?

“You old fiends! Today, I’ll cripple you both and let you enjoy a taste of this ‘fortune’ too!”

The old woman glanced disdainfully at the pitiful little girl and said, “It’s her own fault for being so forgetful that she can’t enjoy such a fortune. She’s destined to be nothing more than a servant!”

“You say she’s destined to be a servant? Then your Yin Yang Sect’s sacred lady is only fit to serve servants!” Ye Fan said in a frigid tone.

Pang Bo added coldly, “You’ve abducted so many talented young children. Aren’t you afraid of inciting the wrath of all the cultivators in the Eastern Wastelands?”

The old man, who resembled a large macaque, cackled sinisterly and said, “If we kill all of you here, then there won’t be any problem, will there?!”

“Attack!” Ye Fan brandished his sword and charged forward. He began to activate the Fighting Saint Technique. I must deal with these two elders ruthlessly; otherwise, there could be immense trouble.

“BUZZ!”

Pang Bo went even further, activating his Nine Slashes. Silver True Dragons shot out from his eyes—this was the Spirit Harm technique of the Demon Emperor Nine Slashes!

“BOOM!”

The void collapsed from the attack. The expressions of the two elders changed; they retracted their divine sense, avoiding the dazzling draconic radiance, not daring to meet the Demon Emperor Nine Slashes with their divine scan.

“BOOM!”

When Ye Fan unleashed the Fighting Saint Technique, the very heavens and earth seemed to lose their color. The Attacking Sacred Technique generated Sword Intent, and the Holy Spirit Sword in his hand appeared to gain life as it sundered the void, cleaving forward.

“Not good!”

The two elders cried out. They joined their arms, pushing outward with divine arts. Two forces, one Yin and one Yang, formed a natural image of the Dao!

The Yin Yang Dao!

This was the Supreme Technique of the Yin Yang Sect. Generally, men cultivated the Yang Diagram and women the Yin Diagram. In the ancient Central States, there was a saying that with Yin Yang Unity, one was invincible in the world!

Pang Bo rushed forward. This Dao of Yin Yang Unity made his heart pound with trepidation. He moved to help Ye Fan share the burden, unleashing the Deprivation technique from his Demon Emperor Nine Slashes.

“BOOM!”

It was a fierce collision, a battle fought with Dao imprints, a confrontation of their respective Great Daos—utterly terrifying. Both sides were sent flying backward.

Ye Fan’s Blood Qi surged, but he was otherwise unharmed. However, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Pang Bo’s mouth. His physical body is so incredibly strong, yet he still took a hit!

The two elders cackled, their hair disheveled, as they charged over to kill again.

“Yin Yang Unity means invincible in the world! Both of you juniors can go die!” The two elders, arms linked, shouted sinisterly as they once again pushed out the Yin Yang Diagram.

This time, the Yin Yang Diagram was several times larger than before. Pang Bo and Ye Fan decisively retreated. These old fiends are too terrifying!

Ye Fan began to activate the All Secret. During this process, the two of them continuously dodged.

The two elders activated the natural image of the Dao, their killing intent intensifying as they pursued their targets through the void. The third Yin Yang Diagram they launched was much larger still, Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang intermingling, possessing an overwhelmingly destructive force.

It had to be said, the ancient saying from the Central States, “Yin Yang Unity, invincible in the world,” held a certain truth. With their arms linked, the two elders didn’t possess merely double their Combat Power, but a full five times!

The Yin Yang Dao manifested as that enormous Yin Yang Diagram, resembling the wheel of a divine sovereign, crushing everything as it rolled across the void. Nothing could stop it; even Pang Bo had been injured by its first strike.

If it weren’t for my sacred body, I definitely would have spat blood and been injured. Yin Yang Unity, the Great Dao manifested… their Combat Power is world-shaking, invincible among those of the same Realm!

“BOOM!”

Finally, Ye Fan successfully triggered the All Secret! His Combat Power surged tenfold! Golden Blood Qi shot into the sky, and the heavens and earth paled. He wielded the Holy Spirit Sword, shattering the firmament, as if cleaving the world in two.

“BOOM!”

He shattered the Yin Yang Diagram! The two elders spurted mouthfuls of blood. Although Yin Yang Unity had greatly enhanced their Combat Power, it still couldn’t compare to the All Secret.

The two elders were sent flying backward. Pang Bo quickly unleashed his Demon Emperor Nine Slashes, hacking at them until they once again vomited large mouthfuls of blood.
