Shrouding the Heavens-Chapter 167 Tempest, Part Three

Chapter 167 Tempest, Part Three

The cauldron grew to the size of a foot and suppressed down. The Ji Family’s Elder had no way to avoid it.

BANG!

It was difficult to say just how incredibly heavy a cauldron refined from Origin Qi was. A powerful Elder of the Ji Family who had cultivated to the third secret realm was also unable to fight it. His right shoulder immediately collapsed.

He spat out blood. He felt as a if a thousand-ton sledgehammer was smashing into him. He was sent flying, crashing into a huge stalagmite.

“What the fuck!” His face was covered with shock. He couldn’t even believe it as he stared at that corpse. “It’s you…”

Ye Fan didn’t reply. He attacked a second time. Although his cauldron didn’t have any light to it, it was boundlessly imposing. When it came down, it caused even the ground to shake.

This time, the Ji Family Elder had already prepared and turned into a light that dodged to the side of the attack.

“Brat, you’re still alive?!” Although he was furious, he was also extremely stunned. He couldn’t even believe that he was seeing Ye Fan within the sixth level of the Flame Region.

Over half a year had passed. There was no one who doubted he had died inside. Everyone was absolutely sure he had had no chance of escaping and had already been burned to ashes inside.

“I’m full of the energy of youth. How could I die? Even once your Ji Family has been exterminated, I still won’t die.” At the same time as he said this, he drove the cauldron towards the seventh level.

Those two attacks were unable to kill his opponent. He firmly retreated. After all, he had cultivated to the third secret realm and his cultivation base was profound and powerful, something he was unable to compete against.

“If you didn’t die before, then today I’ll fix that!” The Ji Family Elder soared up and chased Ye Fan. At this time, his right shoulder had turned into a bloody pulp, and despite his vigorous life force, there was no way he could regenerate it in such a short time.

“Maybe you should worry about yourself. Don’t die within this Flame Region.” Ye Fan’s speed had become as fast as a shooting star after reaching the Paramita realm, adding on to the mysterious footwork.

“Brat, you obtained my Ji Family’s Great Void Art! You’d be dreaming if you think you can still live in this world!” His expression was cold and his killing intent soared as he chased after Ye Fan.

“Fuck off, old man. Your family repays kindness with enmity, and actually takes such an attitude like you were wronged.” Ye Fan ground his teeth and said, “Wait for me to get stronger and overturn your entire Ji Family. Then I’ll let you know what it feels like to be wronged.”

“Even people a hundred times stronger than you wouldn’t dare say such things. As for you…even if you cultivated another thousand years, it would all be useless.” The old man’s face was covered in sadness and anger. “How did my great uncle die?!” For a powerful figure of the Ji Family to die here was a huge matter.

“He got depressed and killed himself!” Ye Fan mocked him. In this kind of situation, he didn’t want to explain anything.

“What did he do to die?!” The Ji Family Elder became cold and collected. There was no way for Ye Fan to do such a thing. Unless the Peacock King personally came, it was impossible for him to be so silently killed.

“Once you join him you can personally ask.”

“Brat, once I capture you I’ll pull out all your skin and muscles, then search through your soul.” His body was trembling from incomparable anger. A powerful figure had died here, and he didn’t even know how.

Five-colored mists appeared ahead, and a blazing temperature appeared. Ye Fan charged into it in an instant.

The Ji Family Elder was speechless. He immediately stopped, not daring to continue. Although he was wearing fire-resistant clothes, it couldn’t block the seventh level’s flames.

“How…how did you do this?” He was stunned. For Ye Fan to not be afraid of the sixth level’s purple Qi was one thing, but he actually also fearlessly entered the seventh level’s five-colored mist?!

“You old bastard, why aren’t you following? Don’t you have a fire-resistant treasure?” Ye Fan mocked him. “I challenge you to fight for three hundred exchanges here. Do you dare accept?

Chi.

He suddenly took out a small silver spear as long as a chopstick. He sent it stabbing forward towards Ye Fan.

Crack.

However, just as the silver spear flew out, it began trembling and a bunch of cracks appeared on it. It then was completely shattered by the purple flames.

“Your fire resistant clothes are just so. I actually thought they’d be more powerful…” Ye Fan’s laugh became denser as he slowly walked back.

“This is the Purple Qi from the East level… the Flame Region really is deserving of its reputation…” The Ji Family Elder revealed a surprised expression.

Chi.

He raised his left hand. His palm bloomed with light, which turned into a bolt of thunder before charging forward.

Although the thunder was very violent, it was still melted by the purple flames, slowly disappearing.

Seeing this, Ye Fan became completely reassured. He drank some spring water from the pure jade bottle, quickly recovering his divine energy, then walked out of the seventh level.

“How powerful do you think your fire resistant clothes are?” He had no more worries now. Despite his opponent’s power divine energy, it was useless. He was unable to bring it out within this region. As for him, his physical body was comparable to a precious blade, his divine sense was incredibly powerful, and his cauldron did not fear flames. Together, he didn’t need to be afraid of him.

Seeing that Ye Fan dared walk out, the Ji Family Elder’s heart immediately shook. For him to be acting like this, he knew that he must have some kind of trump card. He didn’t dare be overconfident, slowly retreating.

“It’s too late, old geezer. Since you are unable to do anything to me, I’ll send you down to reunite with your damn old ancestor!”

Ye Fan didn’t charge forward. He instead took out the golden tome. A blazing sun immediately tore through the purple space.

This paper wasn’t a weapon, but it was even more powerful than weapons. Even the flames here were unable to melt it. It was invincible and incredibly sharp.

“What a powerful spiritual object. Who sent this treasure to you?” The Ji Family Elder was very startled, but he quickly smiled. This kind of peak weapon was something he had never possessed. His opponent was just a youngster, but he held so many strange treasures.

“If you can receive it, then I’ll just give it you!” Ye Fan smiled.

The golden tome passed by his body, narrowly avoiding chopping off his head. The Ji Family Elder didn’t say anything. His palm and fingers trembled, continuously attacking the golden tome, wanting to collect it.

Ye Fan was secretly assessing his opponent. The other’s physical body truly was frightening. Having cultivated three secret realms, he had already shed his mortal body. But he was still somewhat lacking compared to Ye Fan. Seeing this, he became determined.

Just at this moment, the Ji Family Elder coldly smiled and displayed the Great Void Art, turning into a wisp of black smoke that attacked forward. He sinisterly said, “Little kid, you’re a bit too happy. Now that I’m right next to you, I’ll see you how can possibly escape!”

He was very confident that now that he had closed the gap between them, Ye Fan would be unable to escape and would definitely die.

Ye Fan had only taken out the golden tome to test him. He had already figured out his opponent’s capabilities, and was waiting for him to approach in order to deliver a killing blow.

He didn’t retreat. His golden fist slammed into the other’s remaining left palm. A violent energy exploded out like a thousand-ton sledgehammer was smashing down.

BANG!

The Ji Family Elder felt as if he had been struck by thunder, his whole face filled with disbelief as he was filled with incomparable pain

CRACK!

He clearly heard the bones in his left hand crack. At this time, his entire arm was numb and his body had been sent crashing into a boulder.

“You…” He was very decisive, and without any hesitation used the Great Void Art to flee.

At this time, he felt completely crazy. A youngster whose cultivation base was clearly far from him was actually this strange, able to repeatedly make him pay.

Unfortunately for him, Ye Fan was already prepared and didn’t give him any chance. His cauldron grew to the size of a meter and suppressed the area beneath it. The sky began to lightly tremble, and the purple Qi seemed to have evaporated, the area it was suppressing turning into a vacuum.

The Great Void Art had failed!

The Ji Family Elder’s head was forced down by the cauldron, and cracking sounds rang out from all over his body as his bones were broken. The huge pressure was something he was unable to resist.

His raised left arm was the first to shatter, turning into a bloody mist. Cracks then started to appear on his skull and his appearance became extremely malevolent. “What kind of cauldron is this?!”

“A cauldron refined from Origin Qi foundation,” replied Ye Fan.

“What?” His expression changed to incomparable shock. “A strand of Xuanhuan can crush an entire mountain range. This much…”

It was true that a strand of Xuanhuan was capable of crushing an entire mountain range. But after refining it into a cauldron, Ye Fan was unable to display that kind of power. If he had enough divine energy, this cauldron would allow him sweep through the lands under the heavens despite not having profound Dao Glyphs on it.

Pierce through the sky, sink through the earth, evaporate rivers, it would all be easy. Unfortunately, the cauldron refined from Origin Qi was reserved, only displaying its incomparable heaviness and not displaying its true terror.

Crack.

More bones cracked as the Ji Family Elder was unable to bear the weight. His face was deathly pale. A cauldron refined from Origin Qi foundation was too terrifying.

Ye Fan also was suffering a bit. That cauldron was a bottomless pit, continuously sucking up all his divine energy. Especially since it was currently suppressing such a powerful expert, the amount of divine energy it required was absolutely endless.

In just a short time, he had already drunk five gulps of the divine spring water. Otherwise he would have already lost the ability to continue.

“Old bastard, hurry up and die!”

Ye Fan ground his teeth. At the same time as he urged his divine energy, he also began walking over the void, each one of his steps extremely heavy and causing space to warp.

BANG!

He finally arrived in front of the elder. His right leg swung out with all his might. The Ji Family Elder immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as his sternum caved in.

BOOM!

That meter-tall cauldron slowly came down. The Ji Family Elder no longer had any energy to resist it. His whole body collapsed and turned into broken meat.

In the end, nothing was left behind. The bloody mist was completely evaporated by the purple flames. That flame resistant clothing turned to ashes, not leaving behind even a single piece.

Ye Fan was even more pleased with his cauldron. Ancient and simple, its might was so great that even an expert who had cultivated to the third secret realm also suffered greatly when facing its suppression.

The only downside was the huge amount of divine energy it required. In addition, it could not be revealed. If others knew the cauldron was refined from Origin Qi foundation, it would definitely cause huge waves.

Ye Fan actually wanted to wait within the sixth level and wait for Ji Hui to search so he could kill her. But he didn’t act so rashly. What he needed to do now was hide.

The Ji Family’s great figure had been killed by Daoist Crow. This would definitely create a tempest. The Flame Region would be disturbed and he had to first leave.

The Peacock King had killed a Grand Elder of the Ji Family, provoking the Ji Family Sacred Master and the Flickering Light Sacred Master to join hands and invade the Xixia mountain range. Now that another great figure had died, the storm might be even greater.

To lose two great figures in a row, the Ji Family would definitely immediately show their might. Otherwise, how could they have the face to exist?!

Ye Fan disappeared in the opposite direction, leaving the Flame Region and quietly waiting for the storm to erupt.

As expected, in the same day, the Ji Family Sacred Master personally led many experts over.

Beasts roared as they stepped over the sky, causing a loud rumbling. The Flame Region was surrounded by dense crowds of people. Everywhere was filled with knights, and the entire Flame Region completely flared up.
