"Wanxiang Divine Shield!" Ye Fan roared.

He unleashed the ferocious Wanxiang Divine Shield. The moment it appeared, a blue phantom soared into the air like a stampede of ten thousand, charging toward him with murderous intent.

The phantom’s palm struck down, and the Teng Xie Clan Commander struggled to hold on. At this moment, even he felt he couldn’t last much longer.

He was deeply frustrated and terrified. With Ye Fan’s combat prowess, if he reaches the Main God Level, he is destined to obliterate everything in his path. Even the Ancestor of Tianyuan of old would be no match for him.

BOOM!

The blue phantom roared as it shattered, but the Teng Xie Clan Commander had already been battered beyond recognition. He struggled to his feet and charged at Ye Fan.

"Bring it on!" Ye Fan shouted.

He concentrated all his strength into his fist and lunged toward the Teng Xie Clan Commander to deliver the killing blow.

The Teng Xie Clan Commander scrambled to block, but in the next instant, he discovered that Ye Fan’s speed and strength were terrifying beyond measure.

THUD!

Time seemed to fall silent. Ye Fan and his opponent stood frozen in place. The only thing that had changed was that Ye Fan’s fist had already punched through the commander’s head. Although the commander’s own fist had struck Ye Fan, the blow was by no means fatal.

He collapsed to the ground. Even in his dying moments, he couldn’t comprehend how Ye Fan’s power could be so immense. He refused to believe, even in death, that Ye Fan could slay him.

Ye Fan calmly withdrew his hand.

"Kill!"

Their army had achieved a decisive victory and now began their counterattack, routing the Teng Xie Clan’s Martial Artists and sending them fleeing in disarray.

High in the sky, Teng Xie Gui continued to battle Fu Shen.

Although Fu Shen’s strength was still a notch below Teng Xie Gui’s, the festering wounds afflicting Teng Xie Gui meant his combat power was actually inferior. From the beginning of their clash until now, he had been at a complete disadvantage, nearly being slain by Fu Shen several times. He realized he was no match for Fu Shen—at least, not until his festering wounds had healed.

At that moment, Fu Shen gathered his power, unleashing it at its peak. As the attack shot forth, Teng Xie Gui swiftly dodged, putting a mountain as vast as the heavens between them.

CRASH!

The earth began to rumble. Fu Shen had pierced straight through the massive mountain. On the other side, Teng Xie Gui felt the chilling threat of death, for he had been hit.

He roared at Fu Shen, "You got lucky this time! Next time, I will surely kill you!"

"You won’t get that chance in this lifetime!" Fu Shen replied coldly.

Teng Xie Gui fled, abandoning his own army. For him, at this moment, survival was all that mattered.

Fu Shen did not pursue. We are Martial Artists of the same level. If I force a battle to the death, I might slay him, but it would cost me half my life. Since the immediate threat is resolved, it makes no difference whether I kill him now or later.

He looked down and saw that the Red Sand Main God’s army had killed two-thirds of the enemy. The remaining third had scattered and fled, their forces completely broken.

The entire army cheered, for it had been a long time since they had tasted such a victory. Fu Shen laughed wildly. "My lads, you’ve worked hard! We’ve routed the enemy and sent them fleeing in disarray!

"From this day on, we will rule this battlefield. We have plenty of time. We can play with them for a good long while and let them know the meaning of despair!

"Sound the retreat! Reward the troops!"

"Yes!" a group of Martial Artists roared in jubilation.

The pressure on them had been immense for too long, and now they desperately needed to relax. On this Gods Battlefield, they had been oppressed for countless ages. Only today did they finally taste how sweet the fruit of victory could be.

Ye Fan arrived with his two companions. Seeing Mu Chen Dong and Wu Fa, who had been fighting to their hearts’ content, he smiled and asked, "How was the haul?"

"Boss, this battle was exhilarating! We gained so much," Wu Fa said.

Even Mu Chen Dong chimed in, "Boss, you have to bring us along for fights like this next time! I feel so motivated, I could go for another day and night!"

The two of them were brimming with vigor. Ye Fan replied, "Of course. There will be plenty more opportunities in the future. For now, let’s head back. I want you two to reflect on your battle experience and report back to me. I’m going to test you!"

"Another test!"

The two looked dejected. They feared nothing except Ye Fan’s tests.

Laughing boisterously, Fu Shen returned to his grand hall. It had been so long since he’d had such a satisfying fight. If his adversaries hadn’t been so formidable, he would have felt the impulse to wipe them all out in one fell swoop. However, the Teng Xie army has been stationed here for years, with the full support of the Evil God’s entire faction. Taking them down will be impossible. This is a tough nut to crack. Even in our heyday, it would have been an incredibly difficult task. So, since it’s a nut we have to crack, it’s best to savor it slowly.

Upon seeing Ye Fan, he hurried over and said, "Thank you for your help, my friend! Otherwise, beating them would not have been so easy!"

"It was nothing, really," Ye Fan said immediately.

Fu Shen laughed. "No, no, you’ve been a great help! In the years to come, our faction is bound to rise!"

The two talked for a long time. At one point, Ye Fan asked, "Commander Fu Shen, when will we attack them again?"

Fu Shen shook his head. "You know our situation here. It seems they won’t be attacking again for a while."

"What’s the matter?" Fu Shen was curious. Does Ye Fan still need to fight?

"I still want to hone my skills on the battlefield," Ye Fan explained. "But since there won’t be any fighting for a while, I’ll be leaving tomorrow."

Since there’s no longer a chance to temper myself here, I’ll go to the Outer Domain. I want to build something for myself there.

"Leaving so soon?" Fu Shen asked.

"Yes," Ye Fan nodded.

"Alright then," Fu Shen said immediately. "How about this? Tomorrow, I’ll have men escort you and the two Young Masters back."

"There’s no need," Ye Fan said. "Just send someone to escort them. I prefer to travel alone."

"You’re not returning with the Young Masters?" Fu Shen didn’t understand. With Ye Fan’s talent, his strength would grow much more rapidly if he stayed at Red Sand Immortal Mountain or Evil Valley.

Ye Fan shook his head. "I plan to go to the Outer Domain again, but they can’t come with me. The Outer Domain is fraught with danger. I can go, but I can’t guarantee their safety."
