Chapter 172 Overturning Sacred Lady


Ye fan knew this was just an excuse. She just didn’t want to immediately take action. As for whether she would actually save him, that was actually hard to say. Her aim was definitely not simple. Most likely she was just interested in his physique and his cauldron.


That huge banner in the sky became increasingly terrifying. Its blackness was horrifying and it covered the entire sky.


Ye Fan hastily took out his cauldron. It hung over his head, protecting his body.


That black banner flapped as black mist surged. A monstrous energy flowed out, and Ye Fan’s body cracked all over. If he had not had his cauldron out protecting him, he probably would have already met with a terrible end.


But since Ye Fan had used the Five Element True Flame to burn a powerful member of the Ji Family alive, Ji Haiyue was apprehensive and didn’t dare go all out.


Ji Haiyue snorted coldly. He didn’t want to take any risks. If Ye Fan still had more Five Element True Flame and burned down his large banner, that would an unrecoverable loss.


At this time, his expression was solemn. Endless white ice and snow appeared behind him. The ice’s bone-chilling cold air was like a knife as it rushed over.


“A Variation!”


Ye Fan’s heart shook. The Ji Family truly was powerful. Another younger generation disciple had appeared with a successfully cultivated Variation.


The pure white snow filled the sky endlessly. Bone chilling wind blew the snow everywhere. Ji Haiyue was standing in a world of ice and snow like a god of ice.


“Snow Dance Fills the Land!” Ji Haiyue shouted. He condensed his Variation, letting out its immeasurable might as it pressed forward.


This region became filled with snow swirling in the air. It filled the sky, completely hiding the world in its whiteness.


Each snowflake was as large as a palm. Cold light radiated everywhere, like knives trying to sweep Ye Fan away.


Sharp whistling sounds rang out as tens of thousands of snow blades danced in the air, desiring to slash apart even the sky, completely filling this region.


Ye Fan’s heart shook, and the cauldron above his head quickly enlarged. Origin Qi flowed out and protected him.


“Without the Five Element True Flame, a Wheel and Sea secret realm cultivator cannot possibly block me!” Ji Haiyue’s expression was extremely cold as he stood in the sky. He was like a god from the ice age as he shouted, “Glacier Sealing the Sky!”


Endless white mist rushed out from the ice world behind him. It was like a tsunami as it rushed towards Ye Fan.


Even the grassland was shaking. All the vegetation quickly froze, withered, and turned into powder. Even the rocks were unable to prevent themselves from freezing and cracking into pieces.


This frightening cold stream exterminated everything trying to resist it. Nothing could prevent it.


The grassland turned into a ruined world with huge cracks extending far into the distance. It appeared incomparably terrifying as everything in the cold’s path turned to powder.


The ice sealed everything. The white world replaced the previous thriving land.


“Beautiful Flickering Light Sacred Lady, how long are you going to keep not taking action?” Ye Fan secretly transmitted.


A sweet and intoxicating laugh was his response. “Keep persevering little brother Ye. I’m in the midst of my preparations.”


Ye Fan knew that she obviously didn’t want to take action. This was nothing more than an excuse.


The endless white mist surged forward like a terrifying tsunami. Everything around Ye Fan was completely annihilated.


BANG!


In just an instant, Ye Fan was completely enveloped by the endless white mist. He was sealed within the ice, practically turning into a cold and hard ice sculpture.


A huge sparkling chunk of ice sealed him tight!


The cauldron continued to float above the ice without receiving an impact.


“Even elders that have cultivated three secret realms would not be able to protect themselves once they are sealed in this ice.”


“How could someone like him compete with brother Haiyue? Without the Five Element True Flame, he’s absolutely nothing!”


The various cultivators behind Ji Haiyue were all looking inside this huge ice chunk.


“This little thief truly was savage. But in the end, he still wasn’t able to escape death. What a pity. He really wasn’t worthy of burning to death my Ji Family’s seniors!”


“Brother Haiyue’s Ice Snow Variation truly has an immeasurable divine might. As soon as he used it, the thief was completely crushed. We don’t even know whether his soul is still intact for us to take out that supreme footwork.”


“His soul should be fine. I held it back appropriately,” said Ji Haiyue. He reached out a huge hand towards the cauldron, but his expression suddenly changed and he quickly retreated, yelling, “Run!”


BOOM!


The huge ice chunk suddenly shattered and cold air exploded out. Ye Fan rushed out of the ice. He didn’t personally come out, instead using the cauldron above his head to shake his opponents.


BANG!


Three of the Ji Family’s disciples immediately died as they were crushed into pieces by his cauldron, leaving only a bloody mist.


Ye Fan truly felt regretful. He had purposely let himself be sealed within the ice in order to draw everyone closer. Then he could use his cauldron refined from Origin Qi to kill them all in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, Ji Haiyue’s senses were extremely sharp and he quickly noticed that something was wrong. Once he shouted out at everyone, he was only able to kill three of them.


“This brat is really despicable, just like grandaunt Ji Hui said.”


Those ten people’s expressions had all turned gloomy, and they ground their teeth. They had actually lost three people in such a sure-win situation. It really was a disgrace.


“Your physique truly is special. You were actually able to block my Ice Snow Variation.” Ji Haiyue’s expression was calm, and he wasn’t overly shocked.


“Didn’t Ji Haoyue tell you? I was even able to block his divine body’s Variation, let alone your Ice Snow Variation.” These weren’t empty words. His body was very special and would automatically release a strange energy to block Variations when faced with them.


He took out a green branch from within the pure jade bottle. This was the sacred fruit tree’s branch. Very little of the divine spring water was left, so he had taken to eating the divine tree’s leaves and buds to replenish his divine energy.


Every time he used the cauldron it would require a huge amount of divine energy. If he didn’t have these things, it would be very difficult for him to persevere.


Ji Haiyue’s expression immediately darkened. “You’re saying that all Variations are useless against you? Then I want to try that out!”


BOOM!


Fluctuations of life suddenly came from that vast world of ice and snow. A jade tree appeared inside it, immediately rushing out and fixing everyone in place.


At this moment, it was like time had stopped. There were no more white snow or huge ice chunks. All that remained was the jade tree. It had sealed this entire space.


It rushed towards Ye Fan’s Wheel and Sea!


This turn of events startled Ye Fan. This kind of Variation truly was strange. At the end of the ice and snow, it could actually seal space. It was unheard of.


Suddenly, the green lotus in Ye Fan’s Wheel and Sea lightly trembled and mist flowed out of. A nameless and strange energy surged out.


BANG!


That jade tree that had fixed space immediately cracked in front of Ye Fan and turned into specks of destroyed light that disappeared.


Ji Haiyue violently shook, and he was forced a step back. That jade tree once more appeared within his ice and snow world, but this time it was slightly dimmer.


“How is this possible?” He was filled with disbelief. “Your body actually has a natural restraint against all Variations?!”


The others had recovered their freedom now, too. Their hearts beat wildly in fear from a terrifying and strange energy that had appeared when they were sealed in place.


“The Ancient Desolation Sacred Body truly causes me shock. I really am more and more interested in it,” rang the voice of the Flickering Light Sacred Lady in Ye Fan’s ears once more.


Ji Haiyue’s expression was icy cold. “I’ll use my true strength to destroy you!”


Although he was just in his twenties, his cultivation base was on the same level as elders, and was definitely enough to kill Ye Fan. For him to be in such a deadlock with a Paramita realm cultivator had already caused him to lose all his face.


The black banner once more fluttered and covered the sky as it descended down on Ye Fan.


BOOM!


The ground completely shattered. This kind of absolute pressure was something Ye Fan truly was unable to block. His cauldron that was protecting him crashed down into the ground.


The huge banner fluttered, and with each of its waves, the ground would shatter again. In just an instant, Ye Fan was forced down dozens of meters into the ground.


If it weren’t for his cauldron refined from Origin Qi protecting him, he would have long since been crushed. It was incredibly difficult to block this kind of power.


Different realms were separated by a huge chasm. In front of an expert who had cultivated three secret realms, his divine energy was obviously too inferior.


Ye Fan was repeatedly eating the sacred tree’s soft shoots in order to replenish his divine energy. This way he could continue using the Origin Qi to protect him. If he didn’t have those two things, he would have definitely died in body and soul.


“Beautiful Flickering Light Sacred Lady, if you still aren’t going to act now, when are you ever? Did you want to carry my corpse back?” Ye Fan secretly transmitted.


“No rush. It looks like little brother Ye can still continue and I also need to keep preparing for a short time,” the Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s soft voice responded.


Bullshit! Ye Fan truly wanted to curse at her, but in the end he switched methods. “Oh future wife, if you keep holding back, your husband will die and won’t be able to propose marriage at the Flickering Light Sacred Land.”


The Flickering Light Sacred Lady didn’t become angry. Her voice carried a very bewildering magnetism as she said, “Just persevere for a short time. Big sister is just about to come save you…”


Just at this moment, Ji Haiyue’s face darkened and his right hand raised high, releasing a huge ice sword that slashed apart the earth and descended onto Ye Fan.


All his bones shook, and although the cauldron blocked everything, the pressure was too great and even his powerful body was cracking.


The cauldron actually did still have some Five Element True Flame left. Ye Fan wanted to bring it out, but after this trial, he still had to face the Flickering Light Sacred Lady, so he didn’t act rashly.


“Flickering Light Sacred Lady, if you still don’t act, I’ll directly send this cauldron over to the Ji Family.” After transmitting this he shouted out, “Ji Haiyue, I’ll give all this Origin Qi foundation over to you.”


BOOM!


Just at this time, the previous world seemed to have been broken up by someone and a powerful divine energy suddenly broke in, completely destroying Ji Haiyue’s Dao Glyphs and letting everything return to normal.


A figure completely formed out of light with a large sword in its hand charged forward and slashed with its sword. The Ji Family’s disciples were like scarecrows in front of it, unable to endure a single blow. Each slash killed one, and ball after ball of bloody mist blossomed in the sky.


It didn’t even seem like a sword anymore. It was more like the hammer of a thunder god. It was incredibly heavy. With each one of its blows, a person would be crushed no matter what kind of technique or treasure they tried to bring out.


In just a moment, a dozen Ji family disciples died without a single one managing to escape.


Ji Haiyue ground his teeth. He was unable to save anyone, as it happened too quickly. Before he could even rush over, they had already all died.


He collected his huge banner back into his hand and violently waved it, releasing a huge storm of thunder and wind that caused even the land to tremble.


Ji Haiyue had become furious and charged forward to kill that figure condensed of light.


The Great Void Handprint, the Great Void Art, and other supreme secret arts were all revealed, causing the world here to crack.


Ye Fan’s heart shook. Experts who had cultivated three secret realms truly were powerful. He now felt even more determined that he had to become strong.


Although he was so young and there were only three people left in this area, he still felt an extreme pressure.


At this time, the great power condensed here had been broken and could not longer block Ye Fan from leaving. Using his mysterious footwork, he disappeared into the horizon in an instant. He fled for over fifty kilometers in just a short time.


“Little brother Ye really doesn’t have a conscience. I fought with others to save you, but you actually fled so quickly and didn’t pay any attention to me.” The Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s sweet voice once more rang into his ears. She appeared right in front of him, blocking his path.


She was like a blooming divine lotus, her skin shining and her black hair flying in the air. Her eyes were like dazzling black gems. Her eyebrows had a kind of elegance to them that could display thousands of different expressions.


Her clothes fluttered, the long skirt in particular drawing out the curved outline of her beautiful body. She definitely had a bewitching figure capable of enticing all living things.


However, her jade body flickered with a sacred and holy light, removing that charm. With the halo of light enveloping her, she appeared half angel and half enchantress, making her dificult to read.


“I just didn’t want to burden you, so I left first. Didn’t you manage to catch up just fine?” Ye Fan then suspiciously said, “That previous light figure was…”


“It was one of the divinities within my Dao Palace. By displaying that powerful sword technique, it should be able to trick Ji Haiyue.”


The Flickering Light Sacred Lady sweetly smiled. Her jade smile wasn’t from cosmetics, but truly was like a lovable flower. It let people understand what “a smile that could overturn nations” meant. It was definitely an extremely bewitching appearance.


Just at this moment, a divine light rushed over from the distance. The light became more reserved and the figure’s appearance was revealed. It was actually very similar to the Flickering Light Sacred Lady, but it was wearing battle armor. Silver light shone. The metallic armor’s cold light caused the figure to appear even more beautiful, possessing a different aura.


This divinity rushed into her chest, only leaving behind a faint trace of divine energy fluctuations.


Having escaped from Ji Haiyue, he was now intercepted by the Flickering Light Sacred Lady. Ye Fan felt that this was even more troublesome. This woman was definitely extraordinary and was difficult to deal with.


“What method do you have for me to escape from the Ji Family? There are hundreds of powerful cultivators looking for me right now within these grasslands.”


The Flickering Light Sacred Lady coincidentally smiled and said, “Come with me. I guarantee I’ll protect you from danger.”


Ye Fan frowned. He didn’t want to go to the Flickering Light Sacred Land. But this beautiful woman’s power was extremely great, and it would most likely be difficult for him to escape from her.


“Don’t worry, little brother Ye. We’re not going to the Flickering Light Sacred Land. I’ve been dispatched to the northern region. When the time comes, we can go together.” Her sexy red lips held a smile as she said, “Let’s first leave this grassland.”


Ye Fan didn’t say much. He followed behind her, arriving at a barren land with a wrecked palace.


The Flickering Light Sacred Lady gracefully walked into it and then beckoned to Ye Fan. “The Domain Gate here has been repaired by me and can send us tens of thousands of kilometers away from here, allowing us to quickly escape from the Ji Family.”


“We’re not going to the Flickering Light Sacred Land?”


“I’m definitely not tricking you.”


Ye Fan carefully studied the Dao Glyphs and found they truly weren’t set for the Flickering Light Sacred Land. Since he didn’t have any better options, he decided to risk it to escape the Ji Family and stepped onto the black jade platform.


When the Sources were inserted, light immediately soared and a powerful energy fluctuation spread out.


The Domain Gate opened and the void split opened. The two of them stepped inside. However, they were somewhat distant from each other. Both of them had misgivings, so they didn’t want to get too close to each other.


---


In just a short time, the endless darkness faded away and light reappeared in front of them. They had smoothly traversed the void and appeared in a holy land filled with the scent of flowers and the song of birds.


Babbling water and the fragrance of vegetation filled this beautiful scene. Pavilions could be seen adorning the land. It appeared natural and peaceful.


“This is one of my homes. It is fifteen thousand kilometers away from the previous place we were at. You can put your heart at ease.”


As if I could feel relieved!, Ye Fan cursed silently. He examined his surroundings, ready to flee at any moment. This Flickering Light Sacred Lady truly was hard to deal with.


“Little brother Ye, I’ve shown you much sincerity. You don’t have to be so on guard.” The Flickering Light Sacred Land combed her beautiful hair and sweetly smiled. “I don’t want your Origin Qi foundation. I just want to check out your Ancient Desolation Sacred Body to see just how special it is.”


From the very start, Ye Fan had never considered her to be a savior. Although she was called a sacred lady, with the way she handled her affairs, she was more like a demonic woman. And now he had to deal with her.


However, this was at least better than when he was trapped by the Ji Family in the grasslands. He currently still had a chance to get away, and who would be the final victor was still not set in stone.


“My physique is terrible. It’s been called a crippled body, so there’s nothing interesting to study.” Ye Fan didn’t want her probing his physique.


“You’re too modest, little brother Ye. The Ancient Desolation Sacred Body possesses a great secret. Countless years have passed, and although it could not be cultivated, the Sacred Body still hasn’t disappeared. If it was found, it would definitely be accepted into sects.” The Flickering Light Sacred Lady charmingly laughed. “I don’t want to hand you over to my Sacred Land to be studied. I just want to see for myself what kind of mystery it possesses”


Ye Fan stared into that absolute beauty’s face and said, “What if I don’t want to let you?”


“Then I can only wrong little brother Ye. I’ll let you fall asleep and then study you myself.” The Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s hair danced, revealing her beautiful soft neck.


“You set down Dao Glyphs here in order to condense this land’s power to seal me here?” Ye Fan studied the surrounding beautiful mountains and rivers.


The Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s eyelashes lightly trembled and she glanced at him, her gaze capable of attracting even a ghost. “Don’t think of me that badly. I wouldn’t treat little brother Ye like that.”


Ye Fan was just about to take out his cauldron to protect himself and fly away. He didn’t want to continue being entangled with this enchanting woman.


“You…” But just at this moment, he was shocked to find that he was unable to circulate his divine energy, making it impossible for him to take out his cauldron. He shouted, “What have you done?”


The Flickering Light Sacred Lady sweetly laughed, “Looks like little brother Ye had some killing intent towards me just now. If you wanted to circulate your divine energy, you definitely must have sensed a change in your body.”


Ye Fan glared at her, not saying another word.


“While you were fighting Ji Haiyue, I accidentally spilled some ‘Immortal Sealing Powder.’ It was something a Flickering Light Grand Elder spent dozens of years to refine. It’s said that if the dosage is sufficient, it’s even able to seal a sovereign’s divine energy completely.” She smiled faintly and said, “I only did this to protect little brother Ye. Otherwise if I had to attack, I might accidentally kill you. That would be too boring.”


“Hmph, you’re quite vicious.” Ye Fan slowly walked forward.


The Flickering Light Sacred Lady sweetly smiled, “I know that little brother Ye’s physical body is very powerful and comparable to a precious treasure. So don’t waste your energy trying to get close to me.”


With her large curves and her slender waist, she was definitely a peak beauty. At this time, her lithely beautiful jade body gracefully retreated back and she smiled charmingly.


Ye Fan ground his teeth. He found that the distance truly was somewhat large. She really was too cautious.


Just at this moment, he collected his mind and the small golden lake between his eyebrows shook. His divine sense charged forward.


“AHH…you…”


The Flickering Light Sacred Lady let out a startled shout. Her beautiful expression became pained and she tottered back.


Ye Fan quickly charged forward. He continued with more powerful divine sense attacks as fast as lightning. He arrived in front of her in an instant, knocking her into the ground.


However, she only let out a startled cry at the beginning and wasn’t actually too dismayed. Endlessly resplendent divine light also blossomed between her eyebrows.


Her eyes opened wide and glared at Ye Fan. At the same time, her beautiful body released terrifying divine energy fluctuations.


At this time, although her mind wasn’t greatly harmed, she couldn’t afford to be distracted. Ye Fan’s divine sense was too terrifying and almost completely suppressed her.


Ye Fan felt as if he was almost unable to keep her back. Her soft body possessed endless divine energy fluctuations, almost sending him flying.


He continued his divine sense attacks. The small golden lake between his eyebrows was like a blazing sun. At the same time he attacked with his divine sense, he also arrived in front of her and bit down.


A refreshing fragrance filled his nose. He had bit down on her ear and refused to let go.


“You…”


As expected, the Flickering Light Sacred Lady became furious. Divine sense also shot out from between her eyebrows. Ye Fan used all his might in a battle of divine sense.
