Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 620: Chapter 624: The King is Invincible

The Dao Treasure Bottle was dark and crystalline, floating up and down. It was the carrier of the Dao, casting down streams of dark light that enveloped Hua Yunfei below. These were threads of Laws!

At this moment, he too was immune to all techniques. His whole being was as vast as the Dao, becoming even more unfathomable. The Treasure Bottle protected him, offering him limitless magical power.

This bottle, though not yet fully formed, already possessed infinite Divine Ability and an immense amount of magical power. Each time it inhaled and exhaled, it exchanged enormous Qi with the Source of heaven and earth.

“Immortal Flying Technique!”

“Myriad Transformations Technique!”

Hua Yunfei shouted. This time, merged with the Dao Treasure Bottle, he was entirely different. His left hand cast the Immortal Flying Technique to attack, while his right hand used the Myriad Transformations Technique to dissolve his opponent’s secret arts. Heaven and earth intertwined, dragon and phoenix harmonized—he was far more formidable than before!

A wave of power surged forth, reducing a mountain range ahead to pulverized dust, erasing it from existence. The terrifying Attack Power was evident; the Immortal Flying Power was frightening.

Ye Fan’s heart trembled. Other secret arts were useless; all would be dissolved by the Myriad Transformations Technique. At this moment, he could only utilize the nine secret arts, enhanced by the Golden Tai Chi Circle.

This was a life-and-death battle. It had to be said that, in terms of physique or combat power, the Hua Yunfei of today could stand proudly among his peers, his future achievements unimaginable.

This was the ultimate showdown. The pair fought with earth-shattering force. Many great mountains were leveled, numerous grand waterfalls reversed their flow, and magma erupting from underground dyed the sky crimson.

The Golden Tai Chi Circle was resplendent and dazzling. Each rotation was a cycle of Yin Yang life and death, judging another’s death while also affirming one’s own life; it was supremely marvelous.

On the other side, the Dao Treasure Bottle became even more mysterious. It interpreted the Laws of all worlds, with fine threads draping down, enclosing Hua Yunfei and elaborating the profound truths of the Dao.

At this time, whether it was the Immortal Flying Technique for attacking or the Myriad Transformations Technique for dissolving all arts, they far surpassed their previous might. The Laws of all worlds were interwoven, and the Source enhanced them, making them terrifyingly peerless.

Hua Yunfei struck decisively. At this moment, he was cold and emotionless. Even the slightest ripple from his attacks destroyed the land, turning mountains to dust and leaving no grass.

Ye Fan’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, the Immortal Flying Technique and Myriad Transformations Technique were unparalleled in their mysteries. Were it not for using the Dou Character Secret to manifest the Tai Chi Circle, he would likely face bitter defeat today.

BANG!

The pair collided fiercely in a life-and-death confrontation. Both endured the Dark Force, spat blood, and were sent flying backward.

Ye Fan calmed his mind, evolving his own Dao. His entire body became crystalline, like colorful glass. The Tai Chi formed a circle, becoming the most fundamental Dao Mark, the primal trajectory of the Great Dao.

He breathed the energy of heaven and earth, sensed the pulse of the entire Great World, and merged with this universe, becoming an executor of the Dao. Each strike shattered all techniques, and every movement embodied the will of the Dao.

BANG! BANG!

The two powerful figures collided repeatedly, each exhibiting unparalleled Mysterious Meaning. Their battle cast the world into darkness, dimming the Sun and Moon. The entire mountain range was devastated, countless Spiritual Lands were destroyed, and the rivers and mountains were shattered.

Numerous great lakes were obliterated in a single blow. Not only did the lake water evaporate in an instant, but even the dry Heavenly Pits turned into deserts. Nothing could block them; all things were destroyed.

The Qinling mountain range was vast and boundless, seemingly without end. If their battle had taken place outside its confines, it would have led to catastrophic destruction and endless human casualties.

Even so, countless birds and beasts suffered greatly. Many perished in this world-shocking battle, all buried in the dust along with the collapsing mountains.

In this battle, no fewer than three lakes named Immortal Transformation Pool had disappeared. It was not hard to imagine how vast their battle range was; this was a great calamity.

In Qinling, the birds, beasts, and all living forms were trembling. They fled far and wide, panic-stricken as if avoiding an apocalyptic disaster.

The fierce battle left both wounded. Golden blood and five-colored blood continuously fell from high above. Yet, their eyes grew even colder; neither so much as frowned, fighting to the death without cessation, utterly disregarding their own safety.

The Dao Treasure Bottle cast down Laws, its fine threads intermingling and becoming one with Hua Yunfei. Dark light flowed around him, making him increasingly dangerous. The Immortal Flying Technique and the Myriad Transformations Technique displayed all their Mysterious Meanings, appearing as full and flourishing as the sun hanging high in the sky.

BANG! BANG!

The two fought fiercely, both their mouths stained with blood. They were sent flying backward, only to charge at each other again. Despite the intense battle, each remained inwardly calm; even at such a critical juncture, they were still trying to comprehend the other’s “Dao.”

The Golden Tai Chi Circle grew ever more marvelous. Each turn signified a division between Yin Yang, life and death.

Ye Fan, bathed in the light of life, was like a celestial deity, majestic and heroic, commanding mountains and rivers. Each strike sent out a ray of deathly light, annihilating all things.

At this moment, a Taichu aura spread, as if returning to the era before the world was formed. Everything seemed to revert to its original state, with only the evolution of the Source and the flow of Yin Yang Qi remaining.

FSSSH!

The Tai Chi Circle turned slightly, shooting out rays of deathly light, attacking the Dao Treasure Bottle. The showdown was reaching its final moments.

BANG!

The Dao Treasure Bottle, containing limitless magical power and manifesting the Laws of all heavens, was indestructible. It was a perfect divine artifact, merely vibrating intensely without sustaining any damage.

However, Ye Fan’s strong offense also yielded results. The Dao Treasure Bottle could not be destroyed, but its connection could be severed. He used his powerful combat power to cut those fine threads, attempting to break its link with Hua Yunfei.

BANG!

The Dao Treasure Bottle finally skewed slightly, no longer resting directly over Hua Yunfei’s Sky Gathering Parasol. It almost flew out.

They fought from noon until the red sun shifted west. Everywhere they passed became scorched earth, turning into barren land.

At this moment, the outcome of their battle was finally being decided. Ye Fan delivered a succession of powerful blows, his killing moves coming one after another.

“AH…”

Hua Yunfei shouted, disheveled. He had ultimately suffered a major loss, struck out by Ye Fan’s dragon-shaped Dao Mark curve and almost cleaved in two.

BOOM!

In the distance, a mountain peak collapsed from the impact. His body fell there, five-colored blood flowing, but he quickly rose from the dust and smoke.

“You die, I live. Only one of us walks out of here,” Hua Yunfei said fiercely, then spat. A fist-sized star flew out and hovered above his head.

“Indeed. You die, I live. Only one of us walks out of here!” Ye Fan also declared. He spat, and a black vehicle, about an inch long, appeared in his palm. Black light flowed from it, resembling a small dragon.

King’s Divine Weapons! Treasure Weapons capable of sweeping across those of the same tier, invincible beneath the heavens! If Saints do not appear in the world, and if such a weapon is wielded by a Peacock King, none from the Five Great Domains can challenge its edge!

During their battle, they had long sensed the King’s Divine Weapon within each other and had been mutually vigilant. Once such weapons emerged, it would surely lead to rivers of blood and widespread destruction.

Above Hua Yunfei’s head, the star twinkled, radiant with divine light. This was the Supreme Treasure of the Supreme Mysterious Star Peak. It had been sealed in the past, but he had unsealed it layer by layer over the past two years.

This was a divine artifact left by the founder of the Taixuan Sect. Legend claimed it was a real star that had been transformed. Others said it was actually an Heirloom Holy Weapon, though its fundamental Star Soul was concealed.

BOOM!

The star rotated as if the world were being created. A massive, boundless, and infinite star filled the sky. It was as if they had arrived in the Outer Star Domain, where this solitary, great star reigned supreme over all heavens.

On the other side, the black vehicle in Ye Fan’s palm grew to several meters long. It was pitch black like ink and sculpted with dragons and phoenixes. Ye Fan now stood upon it.

He had snatched this War Chariot from Wang Teng’s younger brother—that nine-year-old prodigy. At the time, he had subdued it using the Nine Divine Weapons; otherwise, it would indeed have been quite troublesome.

Now, the Nine Divine Weapons had been given to Pang Bo. This black Dragon Vehicle belonged to him, so he did not need to worry about challenges from other King’s Divine Weapons.

The clash of King’s Divine Weapons was devastating, sweeping through everything. Any tangible living being, even the greatest of heroes, would undoubtedly die if struck; it was the most terrifying prospect.

Their first strike caused the ground within a radius of over twenty miles to sink several dozen meters deep, completely flattening it. The mountains in the area, let alone the ground, turned to dust instantly.

“Hua Yunfei, you can’t hold on any longer! You should have been defeated long ago. Continuously using the Phoenix Tribulation Rebirth Technique has left you a spent force. Let me send you on your way!”

Standing on the black Dragon Vehicle, Ye Fan wielded the God-beating Whip. His black hair flowed like a waterfall, and his eyes flashed with cold lightning. He was like an Immortal King descending to the Lower Realm, incredibly composed as he faced the giant star pressing down on him.

“In today’s battle, I have indeed exhausted my Yuan Qi. The Phoenix Tribulation Technique has drained most of my Source, and I will need a long time to recuperate. The sacred body truly lives up to its reputation. You, this divine medicine of the Mortal World, I will definitely pluck you one day and refine you in my cauldron! Today, it will be challenging for you to keep me here, yet I can make you pay a certain price.”

Blood continued to flow from Hua Yunfei’s mouth, but his fighting spirit remained high. He urged the massive star above his head to press downwards while he approached, wielding the Phoenix Wing Golden Mace.

The star that filled the sky emanated endless Laws. Each strand was capable of killing an expert of the same tier; it would be very difficult to survive if struck.

The black War Chariot also radiated infinite Dao Marks. Each mark was like a True Dragon, carving out a Void Realm, shattering myriad things, and destroying everything.

King’s Divine Weapon versus King’s Divine Weapon!

Simultaneously, Ye Fan swung the God-beating Whip, which violently collided with Hua Yunfei’s Phoenix Wing Golden Mace as they engaged in a fierce fight.

During this process, the Golden Tai Chi Circle and the Dao Treasure Bottle also ebbed and flowed. The Dou Character Secret, Walking Rune Secret, Immortal Flying Technique, and Myriad Transformations Technique also emerged.

This was a true life-and-death battle. Both were using all their means, holding nothing back.

With a long roar, Ye Fan was determined to keep Hua Yunfei there, unwilling to give him any way out. He spat out enormous Qi, like rivers and seas, merging it into the Golden Circle.

DANG! DANG!

He swung the God-beating Whip hundreds, even thousands, of times in a single breath. Each strike was capable of shattering the heavens, and all of them crashed into the Phoenix Wing Golden Mace.

The Phoenix Wing Golden Mace was a secret treasure, eternally sturdy and undamaged. However, it endured immense divine energy that it could not dissipate, and the resulting shockwaves injured its owner.

THFFT! THFFT!

Hua Yunfei kept coughing up blood. Half his body was dyed red, shimmering with five-colored light. Even with the Phoenix Tribulation Rebirth Technique, he could no longer withstand it. It was impossible to resurrect endlessly, as that would exhaust his Source.

DONG!

Hua Yunfei conjured a Green Copper Tower. It was worn and ragged. Originally nine tiers tall, only five remained, yet it exuded an intimidating aura.

A damaged King’s Divine Weapon… Ye Fan’s eyes flashed with Divine Light. “Unless you have a Saint’s Weapon, anything you produce now is useless!”

The black War Chariot charged forward, confronting the giant star. He swung the God-beating Whip, striking like lightning. Each hit was capable of shattering the heavens.

THFFT!

Hua Yunfei was shaken and spat out large mouthfuls of blood. Realizing he couldn’t hold on, he was about to flee, yet he laughed and said, “You can’t kill me. I will return soon. After refining countless Immortal Medicines in the Mortal World, you will be no match for me.”

“In this world, the strongest is not one’s physique, not ancient scriptures, not divine medicines, but one’s own heart, one’s own Dao! If you dare to appear before me again, I will kill you, just as I will now!”

A beautiful figure flew in from afar. Clothed in white purer than snow, with black hair like clouds, she resembled a Daoist saint treading on waves. Her graceful, enchanting figure, accentuated by her fluttering dress, exuded an exquisite charm.

“Junior Sister Xiaoman, kill him! He is also nearly exhausted now,” Hua Yunfei said.

Ye Fan stood on the black ancient War Chariot, holding the God-beating Whip. His eyes, coldly glaring, quietly watched Li Xiaoman, who was also from the other end of the Starry Sky. He originally didn’t want to act, but if she showed any intent to kill, he would respond mercilessly.
