Chapter 563: Chapter 467: Myriad Wounds Bow Shoots the Monster
The Human King Seal, once unleashed, left no doubt as it shattered various spiritual treasures such as the ancient pagoda, the Big Bell, and the Treasure Cauldron. Its targets were sent flying far away, yet they still couldn’t escape the calamity of their bodies disintegrating.
This ancient legacy possessed unimaginable power, which left Ye Fan himself utterly stunned. His heart trembled with shock, yet he was also filled with immense joy.
Mountain Embracing Seal, Human King Seal, and Heaven-Flipping Seal… This was just a single seal! One could only imagine the immense might when all three seals interacted and were unleashed together!
SWISH! SWISH!
Finally, some managed to break out of the Great Array and flee. Ye Fan didn’t use his pursuit spell, instead taking the Myriad Wounds Bow into his hand.
This bow was entirely green and engraved with many runes. Its ancient design hinted at its long existence. Capable of wounding a Peacock King, its value was immeasurable.
Holding the Myriad Wounds Bow, he drew the bowstring and finally understood why those people had needed to bine their strength to wield it; it required enormous strength even to draw it. However, this wasn’t difficult for Ye Fan, as few could rival his Holy Power.
BUZZ!
With a light tremor, the bowstring was drawn taut. Sand and stones were sent flying, wind and thunder roared, and all sorts of brilliant lights swirled around as endless enormous Qi madly gathered towards it.
He drew the Myriad Wounds Bow into the shape of a full moon, and a Light Arrow formed on the bowstring. When he loosed it, a Divine Light shot out, vanishing into the clouds in an instant.
AARGH!
A scream echoed out. The person and the cloud they were in shattered together, vanishing from the world without even a trace of blood mist remaining.
Ye Fan drew the bow a second time. The Light Arrow flew out, piercing into the distance. With a BANG, a mountain peak exploded. Another person screamed as their body and soul were obliterated, leaving only dust swirling in the sky.
The bow’s power was terrifyingly potent, shocking even Ye Fan. If a skilled individual had wielded it against me just now, I would likely have been in grave danger.
He fired five arrows in succession. Five Divine Lights streaked through the sky, and five experts fell one after another. No one could escape; all dyeing the sky with their blood as they met their end here.
Ye Fan caressed the Myriad Wounds Bow. It’s a formidable treasure, and I’m growing quite fond of it. My physical body is unparalleled in close bat, and for long-range attacks, I have a weapon like this. It’s a perfect match for me.
“Many thanks for saving my life,” Ji Haoyue said. He was covered in blood, his hair soaked and matted, resembling a gravely injured Divine Tiger, yet his residual might was still palpable.
Ye Fan glanced at him and nodded slightly but said nothing more. In the past, when I didn’t get along with the Ji Family, I even considered having a life-and-death battle with the Divine King Body.
His gaze swept across the mountain. There wasn’t just one or two corpses of experts at the eighth transformation of Dragon Transformation. This left him deeply shaken!
Ji Haoyue, though disheveled and looking wretched, had managed to unleash great divine power and had slain so many formidable enemies. If news of such feats were to spread, it would surely shake the Five Domains.
The legacy left by an ancient Great Emperor is truly terrifying… Ye Fan sighed internally. Ji Haoyue must possess some unknown supreme Holy Technique. It’s rumored that the Ancient Emperor Scriptures have secret chapters, and even among direct descendants, only a select few can cultivate them.
The Empty Void Scripture’s secret Holy Techniques were unknown to most; they were imprinted by an ancient Great Emperor using divine scan. All who had witnessed them had perished. To this day, aside from a very small number of individuals, almost no one knew how terrifying they truly were.
“May I ask for your esteemed name?” Ji Haoyue asked, his expression calm and his gaze as still as water.
Ye Fan looked at him. He might have figured something out. His fingers itched with the desire to feign ignorance and smack the Divine King Body a few times.
“Don’t be in a hurry to ask for my name and thank me,” Ye Fan said. “To be honest, I’m quite tempted to slap you a few times right now.”
“Hey, hey, hey, why would you want to hit my brother?” Ji Ziyue protested, glancing at him with her crescent-moon-shaped eyes and wrinkling her delicate nose. “I’m sure I recognize you,” she muttered.
Then she chuckled, two adorable dimples appearing on her jade-like face. “Thank you for saving us,” she said.
She wiped the tears from her face and kept staring at Ye Fan. Her large eyes, clear and bright like gems, were full of spiritual light and a clever glint.
“Is there a flower on my face?” Ye Fan asked.
“I’m thinking about how to thank you,” Ji Ziyue said with a sweet smile, her small, sharp teeth gleaming with a crystalline sheen as she wrinkled her nose. “You really resemble an old acquaintance of mine.”
She must have realized something, Ye Fan thought. The playful glint in her eyes was barely hidden, but he didn’t want to acknowledge it.
“Don’t you want to know what he’s like?” Ji Ziyue laughed.
“Oh? What’s he like?”
“That fellow,” Ji Ziyue began, blinking her large eyes and counting seriously on her slender, jade-like fingers, “was a swindler and a cheat, a kidnapper of children, and he even let his dog run wild terrorizing people! He probably even killed… He was bad to the core, the kind who’d often get struck by lightning from the heavens!”
Veins throbbed on Ye Fan’s forehead. He gave her a light bop on the head and turned to leave. “You two should head out soon,” he said.
“Hey, hey, hey, stop right there!” Ji Ziyue yelped, rubbing her smooth, jade-like forehead. Grinding her small, sharp teeth, she ran up to block his way.
“Do you really want me to beat up your brother?” Ye Fan laughed.
“You wouldn’t dare!” Ji Ziyue’s hair fluttered, her skin like snow, her eyes bright and wise. She wrinkled her nose, thought for a moment, and then muttered, “You’re our savior. How can you just leave like that?”
“Oh, you want to repay me? Just give me an ancient scripture,” Ye Fan smiled and then continued walking.
“Why are you always trying to leave? How about this: join our Ji Family as a disciple, and I’ll teach you the Empty Void Scripture.”
Nearby, Ji Haoyue’s expression darkened. He strode over and shot his sister a sideways glance.
“Hey, hey, hey, I really do want to give you an ancient scripture! Don’t doubt me,” Ji Ziyue said seriously, catching up again, her large eyes filled with laughter.
“If you taught me an ancient scripture, your brother would definitely be the first to challenge me to a life-and-death duel,” Ye Fan said, glancing at Ji Haoyue.
“You mustn’t ridicule my brother like that!” Ji Ziyue protested. Her lively eyes glanced into the depths of the Immortal Mansion World, and then she lowered her voice. “Honestly, in this world, there really might be an ancient scripture left behind by an ancient Great Emperor.”
Ye Fan’s heart stirred. Although the Ji Family is far off in the Eastern Wastelands, they once produced a Great Emperor. How many such figures have there been throughout history? They must know some secrets.
This place, an Immortal Mansion World, had seen tens of thousands of batants battling on an ancient battlefield. The enigmatic four words attributed to the Undying Emperor had long signaled its extraordinary nature.
Perhaps they truly know some undisclosed secrets. It’s possible that even the Void Great Emperor once ventured in here, especially since rumors connect this place to the Immortal Realm.
“How about it? Are you tempted?” Ji Ziyue’s smile was captivating, her bright eyes sparkling with intelligence as she looked at him.
Ye Fan involuntarily stroked his chin, seriously pondering. Then, he suddenly realized, This habit is really not good, and quickly put his hand down, only to find Ji Ziyue batting her long eyelashes at him with a smile.
“Benefactor, may I ask for your esteemed name?” Ji Ziyue, the Ji family’s “Little Moon,” mischievously asked.
Beside her, Ji Haoyue remained serene, standing guard. He looked at his sister with a hint of indulgence, but when his gaze turned to Ye Fan, he couldn’t help but knit his sword-like brows slightly.
“Ye Zhetian!” Ye Fan stated.
“Ah! So you’re the one who ate so many of those people’s spiritual beasts!” Ji Ziyue’s small mouth formed an “O” shape, seemingly in plete surprise, but she soon giggled again.
Ji Haoyue was also momentarily stunned, his expression peculiar. So this was the incredibly audacious Lord from outside the Immortal Mountain who had not only defeated several disciples of the Qi Shi Mansion but also consumed their spiritual beasts. His notorious reputation had spread so widely it was impossible not to know.
Ji Ziyue couldn’t stop laughing. Then she asked, “You captured Qi Lajiao? Where is she now? How is she doing?”
“I haven’t killed her yet. I’m keeping her around to serve tea and pour water,” Ye Fan replied.
Ji Haoyue suddenly spoke, “You should release her soon. Last time, those prodigies from the Southern Mountains were in seclusion; otherwise, you would have been in much greater trouble.”
“Yes, that group from the Southern Mountains is really formidable. My brother is even wary of a few individuals among them,” Ji Ziyue added with concern, sharing this piece of information.
Ye Fan was taken aback. Today, I’ve truly understood the power of the Ji Family Divine King Body. He tore apart several experts at the eighth transformation of Dragon Transformation, fully displaying the bearing of the Eastern Wastelands Divine King.
Are the people from the Southern Mountains also this terrifying? I have to take this seriously. With talents gathered from all over the Five Great Domains, there must be unimaginable individuals among them.
“You just know how to cause trouble…” Ji Ziyue muttered. When her brother wasn’t looking, she shot Ye Fan a sidelong glance and then whispered, “I’ll teach you a life-saving secret art.”
“Ziyue, we should head out now. Today’s events are significant and need to be reported to the Head of the Family,” Ji Haoyue said. He then turned to Ye Fan. “We will repay you generously in the future for saving our lives!”
“e out with us first. It’s too dangerous here, and you could easily fall into a perilous situation alone. Wait until we bring some experts, and then we can all e back in together,” Ji Ziyue urged, blinking her large eyes as she looked at Ye Fan.
“No worries, I’ll be careful.” Ye Fan didn’t want to leave. He earnestly asked which ancient scripture might appear here.
“It could very well be the Grand Emperor Scripture, or the Empty Void Scripture, or perhaps the Demon Emperor Scripture… It’s uncertain,” Ji Haoyue said solemnly.
“Why?” Ye Fan asked in surprise.
“It’s rumored that this place is connected to the Immortal Realm. Some Great Emperors may have entered and possibly left something behind,” Ji Ziyue replied.
According to them, cultivators from several ancient lineages that had produced Great Emperors would definitely e here to seek something or to confirm certain matters, though they didn’t specify what.
According to certain clues, there must be ancient scriptures deep within the Immortal Ancient World, along with some major, unknown secrets. Otherwise, ancient Great Emperors wouldn’t have appeared here.
Back in ancient times, even the Undying Emperor might have e here… Ye Fan pondered continuously.
The Ji siblings left. Ji Ziyue made it clear they would definitely return soon and urged Ye Fan to be careful on his own.
In this Barbaric World, dangers and opportunities coexisted. Many people came seeking Immortal Fate. Spiritual treasures emerged daily, and powerful experts perished, creating a very tense atmosphere.
Ye Fan had been here for several days but hadn’t ventured into the deepest parts, because even in this outer region, sovereigns had already perished.
「Two days later.」
He finally made another discovery. On a mountain peak was an ancient stele carved with some spells. Though somewhat mystical, they weren’t what Ye Fan desired most.
Right now, I most hope to obtain the enlightenment traces left by a top-tier expert, to find an opportunity to break through a major cultivation barrier.
Ye Fan contemplated for the better part of the day and gained some insights. Just as he was about to turn and leave, a man landed on the mountain peak. He wasn’t particularly heroic in appearance but was rather extraordinary, exuding strong self-confidence.
This person was of medium build, appeared to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with disheveled black hair, dark skin, and eyes as sharp as lightning. With his hands clasped behind his back, he walked toward the ancient stele, appearing very arrogant and domineering.
“Leave at once. I intend to cultivate in seclusion here.”
He spoke calmly, without any killing intent, yet his words left no room for doubt, as if he held the power of life and death, with everything under his control.
Ye Fan frowned and glanced at the man. He didn’t say much but stopped in his tracks, not leaving immediately.
The man, hands still clasped behind his back, approached the ancient stele and began to study it seriously. He didn’t speak further, and the two coexisted peacefully for the moment.
After a moment, Ye Fan glanced at him again. I don’t care anymore. I was about to leave anyway; there’s no need to fight over this.
He descended onto a nearby mountain peak and continued his search for ancient ruins. Soon after, more people entered this mountain range, mostly youths.
“Yan Yunluan is here. All others, please detour.” A cold voice sounded. It was precisely the man Ye Fan had encountered earlier, standing with his hands clasped behind his back on the mountain peak, surveying all directions.
“What? Yan Yunluan is here? Let’s leave quickly!”
“Why is he here? Is he going to enter secluded cultivation again? He often experiences sudden enlightenments.”
“We can’t afford to provoke him! He’s a true monster!”
Most of these youths were disciples of the Qi Shi Mansion. They were all wary and retreated from the mountain range. Even though they were of the same generation, they dared not confront him.
Ye Fan was surprised. This person is truly domineering. Even Saint Son level figures from the other Five Great Domains are so wary of him. He must be extremely dangerous.
Soon after, auspicious light enveloped the mountain peak. Yan Yunluan sat cross-legged on a green stone and indeed entered a meditative state, a haze of immortal mist shrouding the area.
Ye Fan glanced briefly but didn’t look further. I’ll silently prehend my own Dao, he thought, then turned and left.
「Two days later.」
He arrived at a place with extraordinary phenomena. Purple smoke rose from the cliffs, birds were undisturbed by human presence, and he surprisingly discovered several spiritual medicines over ten thousand years old that hadn’t been eaten by beasts.
At the same time, more than a dozen other people flew in. They had also discovered this place and all landed, intending to search for ancient ruins, suspecting there might be a cave mansion.
“Yan Yunluan is here! All of you, leave!” The cold voice came again. It was that prodigy; he had also found this place.
“We should leave just because you say so?” someone retorted, disgruntled. This was likely a treasure land, and they didn’t want to give it up.
“Don’t argue. Let’s leave quickly. This person once entered the Qi Shi Mansion while simultaneously undergoing a heavenly tribulation. His power is terrifying; don’t confront him,” someone nearby advised.
Soon, several people flew away, but a few still hadn’t left immediately.
“Did you not hear what I said?” Yan Yunluan looked over, his voice cold and his tone leaving no room for argument.
The remaining few also hesitated. Ye Fan merely smiled calmly. Last time, I let it go. But to encounter him again this time and still be forced like this…
He said nothing. Holding the Myriad Wounds Bow, he directly drew the bowstring into the shape of a full moon. It emitted a dazzling radiance, and in an instant, the world seemed to lose its color. Winds and thunder roared, and the mountains shook.
WHOOSH!
Ye Fan nocked an arrow on the Treasure Bow and shot at the prodigy without any hesitation, startling everyone around.
BOOM!
Yan Yunluan shot upwards, dodging to the side as two cold glints flashed in his eyes. The arrow, like a bolt of lightning, instantly shattered the mountain peak in front of him!
Ye Fan smiled, unfazed. He drew the Myriad Wounds Bowstring once more, and an even sharper Light Arrow shot out!
“Who is this, daring to shoot at such a monstrous genius of the Qi Shi Mansion!?”
