Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 619: Chapter 623 Dao Treasure Bottle

The nine secret arts are the highest mysterious arts of Taoism, representing the ultimate limits of nine different fields, beyond reach.

Ye Fan deduced his technique, comprehending his Dao. The essence of all this lay in the Dou Character Secret, the fundamental technique of combat, possessing supreme Mysterious Meaning.

The Golden Blood within him boiled. Blood Qi surged out, forming a golden circle that enveloped him from head to toe. Using the Dou Character Technique, he transformed into a Taiji circle, unassailable by any other spells.

Ye Fan moved his hands. Two yin-yang fish swam, one extremely firm and Supreme Yang, the other extremely soft and Supreme Yin, intertwining as they inhaled and exhaled the Qi Mechanism of the Dao.

BANG!

With yin and yang interacting, his hands trembled. The yin-yang fish leaped out, flew from the Taiji circle, and the two fish swallowed the aura of the Dao, draining the Enormous Qi of the ten directions in an instant, causing the heavens and earth to dim.

BOOM!

Hua Yunfei was once again blown away, his whole body bleeding, still unable to block. Cracks appeared in his form, flashing with five-colored brilliance; his blood contained five hues.

The Heaven-devouring Demon Technique has transformed his physique to this level… Ye Fan was astonished; the enemy not only had a strong physical body, but even the color of his blood had changed.

Hua Yunfei’s expression was solemn. His blue clothes were stained with blood, yet he still possessed an ethereal aura. His entire body was enveloped in a layer of Five-Colored Divine Light, and his eyes were as clear as small lakes.

BUZZ!

The heavens and earth shook. His heart was serene as he once again executed the Immortal Flying Technique. Power surpassing the utmost limits of the human body, akin to a galaxy pouring forth, roared and surged forward.

Mountains collapsed, seas roared! Rocks crumbled and clouds scattered!

Once the Immortal Flying Technique was unleashed, wind and clouds surged, and heaven and earth lost their color. Although he was not a Great Emperor and could not truly trigger the power of Flying Immortals, he was still incomparably terrifying!

On earth, great mountains collapsed one after another, and mountain ridges sank. Soil and rocks splattered, while smoke and dust filled the sky. It was a great collapse.

In the sky, clouds in all ten directions were annihilated, all dispersed by this terrifying fluctuation, sweeping away everything.

This was the Immortal Flying Technique. Its Attack Power was remarkable, unparalleled through the ages. It was a technique that made anyone who witnessed it shiver in fear—the awe-inspiring Holy Technique of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

BANG!

Ye Fan’s body resembled a Coiled Dragon. His torso bent, serving as the Yin Yang Division Line within the Golden Tai Chi Circle. He powerfully vibrated, instantly shooting forward like lightning to clash head-on with the Immortal Flying Technique.

WHOOSH… A fierce wind arose, sending sand and stones flying. The world became a vast expanse, entirely covered in dust and sand. Vaguely visible were mountains, lifted high into the air like straw.

The two engaged in fierce combat. Mountains collapsed and seas roared—a doomsday scene. Entire mountain ranges were blasted into the sky like drifting continents.

BOOM!

It was an intense collision. Rocks flew and mountains shattered. Not a single peak could be preserved; all turned to dust in this earth-shattering blow.

BANG!

Ye Fan flew backward, a trace of Golden Blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but he quickly stabilized himself.

On the other side, Hua Yunfei coughed up mouthfuls of blood. The blood glowed with five colors, soaking his collar. He flew back for thousands of feet before coming to a stop.

Below, a desert appeared. Not a towering Ancient Wood nor even a mountain range remained; they were erased from the earth, turned into a yellow desert.

A once-lush mountain land had its life exterminated. Not a blade of grass remained; it had become a barren wasteland, with nothing left behind.

In the distance, towering mountains still stood lush and green. For such a desert to appear amidst the vast Qinling mountain range was inexplicably bizarre, leaving onlookers dumbfounded.

This was the result of a full-force strike from two great powerhouses!

Hua Yunfei once again suffered grievous injuries. A Phoenix Cry issued from within his body, reverberating through the Nine Heavens. The Five-Colored Divine Flame blazed, and his body was once again restored.

Phoenix Tribulation Rebirth Technique!

He did not retreat. Instead, with a cold expression, he attacked once more, deploying the Myriad Transformations Saint Technique, surrounding Ye Fan and attempting to break through the Golden Tai Chi Circle.

Once these two engaged in combat, the scene was astounding. Even the desert below was melted away. The Five Elements rotated, the Four Extremes collapsed, and everything was shrouded in a haze.

The Myriad Transformations Saint Technique claimed to transform all strange techniques in the world and break countless methods, yet it could not penetrate the Golden Tai Chi Circle, nor could it dissolve this seamless Dao Mark.

However, Hua Yunfei was relentless. Despite suffering multiple severe injuries, he charged forward again and again, constantly attacking, showing no sign of fleeing.

Ye Fan’s heart stirred. He knew the other’s thoughts were similar to his own earlier: to continuously battle, comprehending their opponent’s Holy Technique in a life-and-death duel, purely for self-enhancement.

Indeed. He has the Phoenix Tribulation Rebirth Technique, so he acts without fear!

BOOM!

It had to be said, Hua Yunfei’s methods were exceptional and his power formidable. He transformed entire mountain peaks into pellet-sized projectiles, continuously striking at Ye Fan—an extremely frightening display. In his heart, Hua Yunfei slowly deduced the Divine Map, pondering how to break Ye Fan’s technique.

“Let’s see how long you can hold out!” Ye Fan shouted, increasing the intensity of his attack. He swept past like a True Dragon, consecutively shattering eighty-one Great Mountains.

Dust and sand filled the air as the endless great mountains of Qinling shook. The two engaged in an intense confrontation. Intermittent drops of blood, flowing with Divine Light, splattered—an astonishing sight for any observer.

“Kill!” Ye Fan uttered softly. The Golden Taiji Diagram rotated, and he surged forward like a glinting light, his hands transforming into yin-yang fish, one yin and one yang leaping up simultaneously.

BOOM!

Hua Yunfei was sent flying, suffering multiple bone fractures. His body was almost shattered, and five-colored blood streamed down, glistening with light.

“Do you have any other techniques? Otherwise, you won’t have another chance!” Ye Fan pressed forward, his Golden Blood Qi taking form, encapsulating himself protectively.

“The Ruthless Great Emperor was never weaker than anyone in life, invincible throughout history. He created the Immortal Flying Technique and the Myriad Transformations Technique specifically to counter the nine secret arts, and they are no weaker than any of them! My inability to suppress you now isn’t because these two arts are inferior, but because I haven’t comprehended them thoroughly enough,” Hua Yunfei said calmly. The Phoenix Cry reverberated as he healed himself, not a hint of frustration on his face, but rather an air of supreme transcendence.

“Are you observing my technique, trying to gain Enlightenment and break down my Holy Technique?” Ye Fan responded, not caring at all.

“It’s too early to say who’s stronger or weaker. The Immortal Flying Technique and the Myriad Transformations Technique are world-shattering strange techniques, and you will witness their terrifying aspect.” Hua Yunfei’s demeanor changed. His ethereal quality receded, replaced by an air of unrivaled sovereignty. His black hair was disheveled, and his eyes were as deep as the Starry Sky.

BOOM!

A destructive Qi Mechanism erupted, causing massive disturbances. All beings trembled, and the ten directions shook as if an ancient Great Emperor had appeared in the world.

Above his head, black light flashed, intertwining rapidly, forming a black Treasure Bottle that gradually became clear and firm, as if eternally indestructible.

Hua Yunfei stood like a divine demon, a terrifying aura spreading from him. He stood quietly in the void, his eyes incredibly hollow, devouring one’s Heart Spirit.

Strands of black light shot out from his Sky Gathering Parasol, forming a Treasure Bottle above his head. The black light flowed, crystalline like Ink Jade.

It was ancient and natural, its pattern not intricate, giving a sense of the Dao’s simplicity. This was a vessel of the Dao, capable of suppressing all heavens and realms, mysteriously unfathomable!

Hua Yunfei forged this Dao Treasure Bottle with his own Life Essence, giving form to the “Dao.” It was capable of gathering immense magical power in the future and already possessed great Divine Ability.

Ye Fan’s heart trembled. He had long heard of the Ruthless Emperor’s unmatched Heavenly Technique, able to suppress ancient deities, and now all its mysteries were manifesting one by one.

Hua Yunfei formed seals with both hands, lifting them above his head to create the Dao Treasure Bottle Seal. The bottle’s mouth was positioned at the junction of his hands, inhaling and exhaling the essence of the Sun and Moon, the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth.

It was extremely terrifying. Boundless murderous intent exploded like a flood. Faced with the Dao Treasure Bottle, Ye Fan felt as if a thousand blades were scraping his bones, his body about to crack.

This was an eerie scene: the black light-flickering Treasure Bottle against the Golden Tai Chi Circle. Both were exhaling and inhaling Dao breaths, with intertwining Laws stretched between them.

BOOM!

At this moment, a world-shaking confrontation erupted. They charged at each other, engaging in the most terrifying battle.

The black light-flickering Dao Treasure Bottle, suppressing heavens and realms, possessed immortal might. It inhaled and exhaled the Great World’s Source as it bore down.

The Golden Tai Chi Circle, its principles embodying the natural way of the Dao, shone with resplendent golden light. It too was a vessel of the supreme Great Dao, piercing through all heavens, existing eternally, indestructible through myriad tribulations.

This was a collision of the Dao, a confrontation of different Mysterious Meanings. Black light and golden light shot to the sky, engulfing all heavens and earth, leaving nothing behind.

The vast desert melted, becoming a sea of red. Magma boiled, rushing out in all directions.

In the distance, great mountains collapsed like straw as terrifying shockwaves swept over them. They all toppled and rapidly crumbled, erased from the earth.

On the other side, the Immortal Transformation Pool was shrouded in mist. An immeasurable expanse of its clear waters completely evaporated; the great lake dried up entirely, becoming a giant Heavenly Pit.

In an instant, there was sweeping destruction. The clash between the black Dao Treasure Bottle and the Golden Tai Chi Circle had wrought consequences too dreadful to behold; an unknown number of towering mountains vanished.

BOOM!

Further away, mountain after mountain collapsed. Smoke and dust soared tens of thousands of feet into the sky, plunging the world into darkness. The two engaged in fierce confrontation, a battle of life and death.

The black Treasure Bottle and the Golden Tai Chi Circle clashed countless times before stopping. The two vessels of the Dao soared into the air, and the world between heaven and earth momentarily calmed.

Golden Blood trickled from the corner of Ye Fan’s mouth, his body’s aura fluctuating. The Golden Tai Chi Circle continued to spin, its luster undimmed, not having been dispelled.

On the other side, the black light-flickering Dao Treasure Bottle floated up and down, undamaged. However, it had departed from Hua Yunfei’s Sky Gathering Parasol, now thousands of feet away.

His body was battered and nearly shattered, having suffered unimaginable trauma. If not for the Phoenix Tribulation Rebirth Technique, Ye Fan might have killed him in that exchange.

BUZZ!

Hua Yunfei’s body emitted black light. His Blood Qi surged from his Sky Gathering Parasol, piercing the high heavens. His body crackled as the black Dao Treasure Bottle instantly flew over, suspending itself above his head.

Ye Fan stepped forward, wiping away the Golden Blood at the corner of his mouth. “Looks like you don’t have the chance to devour my origin,” he said. “I’ll send you to the Pure Land.”

Hua Yunfei laughed coldly. “I’m increasingly valuing the Holy Body Origin,” he said. “This is far from over.”

The Dao Treasure Bottle, like Ink Jade, floated up and down, inhaling and exhaling the fundamental Source of heaven and earth. It let down streams of black light, enveloping him below. These were strands of Dao Laws!

In the distance, a beautiful figure had witnessed the entirety of the battle’s outcome. Li Xiaoman, like an exiled Immortal floating in the air, her clothes fluttering, stood upon a mountain peak.
