314: Chapter 319: Vajra 314: Chapter 319: Vajra The Vajra seemed as if it were naturally formed—exceedingly exquisite, silver-white, its surface gleaming, adorned with ancient and natural Dao Glyphs.
Ye Fan stared at it, unblinking.
Was this the rumored Vajra from ancient legends on the other side of the starry sky?
Unease stirred in his heart.
“Quite bold!
Leaving a message after killing, and yet you still linger here.
How arrogant!” the man with the Golden Gourd suspended above his head scolded coldly.
These three must be successors of Flickering Light, Ye Fan realized, all disciples of the reclusive Elders, undoubtedly three of the top ten experts.
BUZZ.
The Golden Gourd above his head swayed and instantly enlarged, being like a Great Golden Mountain as it rushed toward Ye Fan.
He had no desire to say more and attacked directly.
CRACK!
In that instant, a large section of the earth below suddenly split open, entirely due to the immense weight of the Golden Gourd in the sky.
Invisible pressure, seeping through every opening, descended heavily, shattering the surface and sending scattered rocks flying into the air.
This was an astonishing power.
The Golden Gourd, parable to a Great Mountain, had not yet even landed but had already created such a motion, with red rocks shooting everywhere.
Ye Fan, with the Origin Qi Cauldron above his head and holding the God-beating Whip, stood alone on the crimson earth, perfectly still.
Only the patch of land beneath his feet remained uncracked.
Streams of Origin Qi descended, enveloping him and the ground beneath him, protecting them from any impact.
HUMMM.
The void distorted as if it were a wall, continuously pushed and buckled by the pressure of the Great Golden Gourd, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment!
This golden gourd, as large as a mountain peak, radiated with dazzling light.
After a tremor, it descended fiercely, attempting to crush Ye Fan into pulp.
Just as a sheet of golden light slashed down like a blade, Ye Fan’s left hand shot skyward, striking out against the heavens.
CLANG!
The Great Void Handprint, unleashed with the Fighting Saint Technique, wielded magical power like a surging sea.
The golden palm, resembling a golden cloud, slapped resoundingly onto the Golden Gourd.
The Golden Gourd, like a colossal sun pressing down upon the sky, radiated myriad rays of gold.
It shivered from the blow, a clear palm print now seared onto its surface.
“Go!” Ye Fan shouted, and the golden hand struck once more.
Like a surging golden ocean, it sent the Golden Gourd flying far into the sky, tracing a resplendent golden arc.
PING!
PING!
PING!
Suddenly, the Golden Gourd vibrated intensely.
From its mouth, tens of thousands of sword auras, each as thick as a barrel, shot out, blazing with fierce golden light as they struck the ground.
HISS!
HISS!
HISS!
It was an utterly terrifying scene.
Barrel-thick sword auras rained down from the sky, perforating the crimson earth for hundreds, even a thousand zhang around.
Clearly visible were numerous terrifyingly large holes in the ground, reaching deep into the earth—a chilling sight.
Tens of thousands of golden sword auras pierced through heaven and earth, a horrifying spectacle, like sky-supporting pillars erected upon the crimson land.
The Origin Qi circulated from the cauldron above Ye Fan’s head, shrouding his body in a hazy mist.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
Thick columns of Sword Qi shot at the cauldron and around him.
Though unable to penetrate, they possessed extreme piercing force, shaking him violently.
Ye Fan stood his ground, only using the Great Void Handprint to strike at the sky.
His golden hand extinguished many of the sword auras.
Wherever it passed, even a sea of sword auras was annihilated, unable to halt the golden handprint.
HUMMM.
The void trembled.
The Golden Gourd’s radiance intensified, its oppressive might growing.
It was as if golden flames were burning, rendering the sky brilliantly dazzling.
Tens of thousands of sword auras, even denser and fiercer than before, shot out from the gourd’s mouth.
They rushed forth like a tidal wave, pressing down on the golden hand.
The barrel-thick golden sword auras shattered the earth.
Within a thousand zhang, no intact land remained; even the ground beneath Ye Fan’s feet fractured.
This region was reduced to scorched earth, densely pockmarked with unfathomably deep sword holes, resembling a colossal sieve.
As far as the eye could see, it was a scene of utter devastation.
Protected by the Origin Qi Cauldron, Ye Fan wielded the God-beating Whip and soared into the air, confronting the tens of thousands of sword auras and striking at the Golden Gourd’s mouth.
HISS.
The owner of the Golden Gourd inhaled sharply.
The Origin Qi truly is extraordinary, he thought, staggered with surprise, to defend against such dense Sword Qi!
SHIIING!
SHIIING!
SHIIING!
Tens of thousands of Sword Qi rushed out, transforming into a boundless rain of swords.
The world became a searing curtain of light, and Ye Fan endured tremendous pressure.
Although the golden rays could not penetrate his defenses, they possessed terrifying impact force.
Each strike was like a heavy hammer blow, halting his advance.
BOOM!
He vibrated the cauldron on his head.
At that moment, the Origin Qi swirled, with strands soaring skyward to meet the tens of thousands of sword auras.
This time, the sky blazed with dazzling auspicious light as the two beams of energy collided, generating terrifying waves of power that swept across heaven and earth.
The Origin Qi, even more terrifying than the sword auras, crushed all tens of thousands of golden Sword Qi and surged toward the Golden Gourd.
Ye Fan’s speed increased.
Protected by the cauldron and wielding the God-beating Whip, he reached his opponent in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, all the golden sword auras vanished.
A beam of Mystic Light—ghastly and glaring, like a Pilean—shot out from the gourd’s mouth, instantly enveloping Ye Fan and the cauldron.
SWIPE!
Light flashed, and he was sucked into the Golden Gourd.
SNAP!
The gourd’s mouth closed, sealing him inside.
WHOOSH.
The golden light subsided, and the Golden Gourd shrank to palm-size, landing in the hand of the young cultivator from Flickering Light.
“Haha…” He couldn’t help but laugh, holding the Golden Gourd.
“So much for the sacred body.
He was captured easily enough.” Beside him, the cultivator with the Five-Colored Feather Fan floating above his head said, “Indeed, Junior Brother, your spiritual treasure is formidable.
It contains Mysterious Yin True Light, capable of capturing all things.
Even a cultivator at the circle of perfection of the Four Extremes Realm would struggle to escape.” The owner of the Golden Gourd vigorously shook it.
“In less than a quarter of an hour, the Mysterious Yin True Light will dissolve him into pus and blood!” “Be careful,” the young man with the Vajra floating above his head warned.
“He possesses Origin Qi; he might not be dissolved into foul blood.” “Don’t worry.” The gourd’s owner replied.
“The Mysterious Yin True Light is all-pervasive and can dissolve anything.
Years ago, my Grandmaster captured a cultivator who had surpassed the Four Extremes Secret Boundary and reduced them to a pool of blood with it.
Even if he possesses Origin Qi, it can protect him for a while, but not forever.
I wonder how long his divine energy can last.” BOOM!
The Golden Gourd shook violently, nearly slipping from the disciple’s hand and falling to the ground.
“What?
Even the Mysterious Yin True Light can’t restrain him?
He can still struggle!” “Be careful!
Don’t let him destroy this spiritual treasure!” the two beside him warned, respectively taking the Vajra and the Five-Colored Feather Fan into their hands.
“It’s fine.
This Golden Gourd was refined by my Grandmaster.
A measure or two of Divine Copper Essence was added to it, so it’s impervious to blades and weapons.” Indeed, the Golden Gourd merely trembled once more before quieting down, showing no further movement.
He sneered, “Hmph, just wait to be turned into foul blood!” Inside the Golden Gourd, Ye Fan felt as if he had sunk into a quagmire.
The Mysterious Yin True Light bound him within the gourd’s core, making it difficult to move.
This fellow is only at the Dao Palace Fifth Layer Heaven, yet he has such a spiritual treasure!
Ye Fan mused.
It wouldn’t be a problem for him to kill cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Boundary.
Ye Fan frowned.
The ten disciples cultivated by the reclusive Elders certainly possess extraordinary methods.
Still, I’m not flustered.
Not only does the Origin Qi protect me, but even without the cauldron, my physique can withstand the erosion of the Mysterious Yin True Light.
He stood within the heart of the gourd, searching for the treasure’s weakest point, preparing to shatter it with a single strike and break free.
Right here!
Ye Fan vibrated the cauldron, using the Origin Qi to disperse the Mysterious Yin True Light.
He then moved to a spot on the gourd’s inner wall, swung the God-beating Whip, and concentrated all his strength into a forward strike.
CLANG!
The Golden Gourd shone brightly, the impact making its owner’s palm go numb.
Before he could react, another loud CLANG followed.
CLANG!
“Ah…” he cried out in pain.
His divine sense throbbed with agony, and he was momentarily dazed.
CRASH!
The Golden Gourd cracked and then exploded in his hand.
His Palm Finger was shredded and dripping with blood, shards of white bone jutting out gruesomely.
Ye Fan, the cauldron suspended above him and the God-beating Whip in hand, charged out.
Without a word, he swung the Wooden Whip down.
SMACK!
The owner of the Golden Gourd didn’t even have time to grunt before the God-beating Whip smashed him into pieces.
His divine sense turned to ash, and he died on the spot.
BUZZ!
Ye Fan swung the God-beating Whip, sweeping it toward the other two.
However, these two were prepared; they had previously warned the Golden Gourd’s owner.
CLANG!
The Vajra gleamed, silver light flashing.
Like a mighty mountain, it struck the God-beating Whip, erupting in a shower of sparks, its divine energy inparably strong.
The Vajra flowed with Divine Radiance, a hazy aura surrounding it.
The Dao Glyphs on its surface moved like dragons, blocking the God-beating Whip without sustaining any damage.
At the same time, the other man’s Five-Colored Feather Fan swept over.
The Five-Colored Gang Wind it generated turned the ground beneath Ye Fan to ash and sent distant boulders flying several li away.
BANG!
Ye Fan used the cauldron to block.
Even so, he was nearly sent flying.
The Gang Wind was too fierce, its divine energy surging like a tide.
BOOM!
Suddenly, just as Ye Fan was about to be swept away by the Gang Wind, he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of Innate Essence Qi.
It melded with the void, forming a natural image of the Dao that shot forward.
Innate Void Qi!
It transformed into a scroll, densely covered with Dao Glyphs, possessing unmatched power.
It tore through the Five-Colored Gang Wind and struck beside the Treasure Fan.
CLANG!
The Five-Colored Feather Fan vibrated, its radiance flickering.
It was undamaged and blocked most of the Innate Void Qi, but a portion still pushed through.
SPLAT!
A small fragment of the natural image of the Dao, like a peerless divine sword, smashed one of the Treasure Fan owner’s arms into pulp, a bloody mess.
He was no Gu Litian, who specialized in cultivating his physical body.
Even at the Four Extremes Secret Boundary, he could not withstand such close-quarters bat.
“The Ji Family’s Innate Void Qi!” he exclaimed.
The turn of events was too sudden; he hadn’t expected Ye Fan to spit out a natural image of the Dao, catching him pletely off guard.
BOOM!
Ye Fan triggered the All Secret, one of the nine secret arts.
He had been on the verge of being sent flying by the Five-Colored Treasure Fan, but he suddenly stabilized his body, surged against the wind, and charged forward.
My bat power has increased tenfold!
Ye Fan knew he had to go all out.
Both opponents are in the Four Extremes Secret Boundary, and I’m particularly wary of the other one’s Vajra.
The Five-Colored Gang Wind disintegrated everything it touched, turning rock and earth into ash, creating a massive Heavenly Pit.
Unfortunately, it couldn’t send Ye Fan flying, whose bat power had increased tenfold.
He surged forward like a dazzling Divine Spear, unstoppable, piercing through the Five-Colored Divine Wind and arriving close.
WHOOSH!
The man forcefully swung the Five-Colored Feather Fan.
The divine wind roared like an ocean surge but was blocked by the Origin Qi descending from the cauldron above Ye Fan.
CHINK!
CHINK!
CHINK!
He opened his mouth and spat out a dazzling light: eighty-one Divine Feathers, each crystalline, slashed at Ye Fan like a flurry of Immortal Swords.
Meanwhile, the Vajra struck from behind, crashing onto the cauldron like a mountain, its weight immeasurable.
Ye Fan gritted his teeth and went with the flow, allowing the cauldron to be knocked away.
It tumbled towards the Five-Colored Treasure Fan in front, temporarily out of his control.
Simultaneously, the God-beating Whip in his hand swung down, shattering dozens of the Divine Feathers.
“Ah…” The owner of the Five-Colored Feather Fan let out a miserable scream as his divine sense was damaged.
The fan in his hand collided with the cauldron, and both fell to the ground.
POW!
Ye Fan dashed past, his fist gleaming with golden light, and killed him, passing through the man’s shattered body.
SWIPE!
He snatched the Five-Colored Feather Fan.
At the same time, his cauldron flew back to him, streams of Origin Qi descending to once again envelop him in its protection.
