Chapter 141 Precious Secret Art
A Paramita realm cultivator had many divine abilities and thousands of arts. They had countless ways to handle a person who only possessed a powerful physical body.
“Who do you think you are? A god high above in the clouds?!” Just at this moment, Ye Fan suddenly charged into the sky, once more pressing close to him.
Li Xiaoman was startled. She had never thought that Ye Fan could fly. This meant that he could cultivate, was at least in the Spring of Life realm, and it wasn’t just that his physical body was extremely powerful.
“But your physique clearly couldn’t…” Waves formed in her heart, and she was extremely disturbed.
Chen Feng was startled at first, but he quickly calmed down. From the divine energy fluctuations, he could tell that Ye Fan was merely at the Divine Bridge realm.
“Even a firefly dares to compare to a moon!” He opened his hand and starlight spilled out like torrents of silver water. It appeared gentle, but it was actually extremely heavy. He intended to use his endless divine energy to refine Ye Fan alive.
Ye Fan walked across the air, his footwork extremely mysterious. With each step, he gave people a natural feeling of the Dao, splitting open the starlight.
Ji Ziyue covered her mouth and quietly muttered, “This brat truly has many mysteries. It really is that old madman’s legendary footwork…”
At this point even Chen Feng’s expression had changed. Such footwork was definitely a danger to him.
Ye Fan’s was like the flowing clouds and the blowing winds. Dodging left and right, it was impossible for any of them to track his figure.
Such footwork was incomparably profound. He studied it for over a year, but had only gained an initial understanding of it.
Back then, each of the old madman’s steps passed through countless mountains and plains. This was a true contraction of the earth, countless times faster than flying through the air, leaving Ye Fan with an extremely lasting impression.
The old madman left behind complicated Dao Glyphs. He had only managed to comprehend the comparatively more obvious parts, not the whole thing.
“Unlimited starlight!” Chen Feng darkly shouted. Raising his right hand, a star river surged out, at the beginning just a trickle, but quickly submerging the whole sky with starlight. Ye Fan was unable to dodge anywhere as the starlight completely enveloped him.
With a wave of Ye Fan’s hand, the purple copper eight trigram mirror appeared. Condensing limitless divine light, it was like a blazing sun, shining down upon Chen Feng.
The brilliant light was incomparably intense. The huge light beam immediately smashed into the starlight. This was the Jiang Family’s Elder’s most powerful precious treasure, an extremely difficult to obtain spiritual treasure.
“What?!” Such a powerful treasure shocked Chen Feng, and he quickly retreated.
Ji Ziyue laughed lightly, saying, “Did you really think this guy only had his fists…if you were once more chased after by him, then that would be an interesting show to watch again.”
Suddenly, Ji Ziyue’s laughter stopped and her expression abruptly changed. “Empty Void Art…”
Ye Fan’s body almost completely disappeared, becoming just a strand of black smoke that floated forward, blinking forward in an instant, a palm smashing out.
Ji Ziyue couldn’t help but be startled. Ye Fan first displayed an ineffable footwork and then actually displayed the Ji Family’s ancient scripture’s great Empty Void Art.
This was a kind of powerful secret art recorded within the Empty Void Scripture. Once cultivated to its peak, one could pass through space and be untraceable.
I only wrote a small portion for him without the powerful heart technique to support it. There should be no way for him to use it! This guy definitely cultivated an immortal canon that is not weaker than the Empty Void Scripture!
At this moment, Chen Feng was also shocked. He narrowly avoided being smashed by Ye Fan, quickly dodging to the side.
Buzz…
Space trembled, seeming like it might collapse at any moment!
Ye Fan didn’t chase after him, but a huge black hand appeared behind Chen Feng, a hand that covered the sky and earth.
“The Empty Void Great Handprint’s incomplete image!” Ji Ziyue was completely alarmed now. “He definitely cultivated an ancient scripture, otherwise there’s no way for him to display the Empty Void Great Handprint.”
POW!
Chen Feng might be very quick, but his left arm was still smashed. His arm was immediately broken and only hung loosely at his side.
The large black hand scattered into the sky, but it still subdued everyone present. Chen Feng’s face was now extremely pale, his head covered in sweat.
The Star Peak disciples were all alarmed. Chen Feng was extremely powerful, but he had never taken the advantage since the start of the battle. On the contrary, his left arm was now broken. This was unbelievable to them!
“Just where does he come from to have such a technique?”
“How is this possible? Even senior brother Chen Feng isn’t his match, his left arm is now broken!”
Ji Ziyue clenched her fist tightly. Ye Fan had many secrets on his body. His true self was far from as simple as he appeared on the outside.
A star river charged out of Chen Feng’s Sea of Bitterness, bubbling on his left arm.
His left arm trembled and then with a burst of starlight nourishing it, the broken arm healed!
This was the mark of a Paramita realm cultivator. Wounds could be quickly healed.
“What kind of secret art is that?” Chen Feng finally became serious. That huge black handprint was too mysterious, causing him to feel nervous even now.
Ye Fan was also a little shocked. The Empty Void Great Handprint was very tyrannical, possessing a powerful attacking strength. Unfortunately he had only understood a superficial amount of it, and couldn’t display the true skill.
On the other end of the spectrum, The Dao Scripture’s Wheel Sea Volume focused on the foundation and consolidating one’s potential. It didn’t have any powerful attacking methods, lacking any secret arts.
“Didn’t you want to break all my bones? If you have any skill, then show it.”
“Do you really think that just because you have a couple secret techniques that you can be a match for me? Your divine energy is too lacking!” Chen Feng became cold. Starlight flashed, and seven stars appeared over his body.
These seven stars were as large as a man’s head, looking like seven small suns hanging in the sky. They then charged out in every direction.
In an instant, this space seemed to change. It became pitch-black, and stars began to appear in the sky. He used his powerful divine energy to seal the sky and set up his own world, using this to trap Ye Fan.
“Borrowing the Divine Energy of the Big Dipper Lord!” shouted Chen Feng.
Those seven stars in the sky immediately began to shine brightly. This wasn’t the true Big Dipper, but a coalescence of the Big Dipper’s starlight from many years of cultivation.
Ye Fan had no choice but to admit that a Paramita realm cultivator was extremely powerful. Using his divine ability he made seven stars that were essentially powerful weapons hang in the sky.
“Dubhe Star Divine Sword!”
Within the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the Dubhe star blazed and shot out a ray of Sword Qi towards Ye Fan.
“Marek star divine sword!”
The Marek star became exceptionally gorgeous, sprinkling radiance that condensed into a sword that slashed at Ye Fan.
“Phecda star divine sword!”
A third sword ripped through the sky towards him, looking just like a bolt of lightning.
The stars within the sky—Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, Alkaid, Phecda, Merak, Dubhe, the seven stars of the Big Dipper—all bloomed with dazzling radiance that condensed into seven divine swords that slashed forward.
Chen Feng now considered Ye Fan a formidable opponent and didn’t hold anything back, coldly saying, “Since I said I will break all your bones, I’ll naturally follow through.”
Ye Fan used his mysterious footwork to constantly dodge. Those swords were truly very sharp, and he didn’t want to meet them head-on.
Ye Fan once more released the Void Great Handprint. A huge black hand appeared in the sky, smashing towards Chen Feng.
However, this time Chen Feng was already prepared and evaded as soon as it appeared.
The black hand’s energy waves caused everyone’s hearts to quicken. It slowly scattered into the sky.
The Great Void Handprint truly had an outstanding might, but it had a fatal flaw in that its speed wasn’t very fast.
Besides, this was just a superficial and imperfect form of it, so it was impossible for it to defeat an enemy.
“Whatever techniques you have, bring them all out!” Chen Feng sneered.
Ye Fan kept dodging everywhere, but the Big Dipper’s seven stars were all above his head and constantly shooting out sword lights.
“Senior brother Chen Feng has used the Big Dipper’s seven stars as a foundation to form divine stars. He really is powerful. This kind of Sword Qi will only continue to grow without end, becoming completely unstoppable!”
“Average disciples of the Star Peak are completely unable to even have a glance at this technique. Senior brother Chen Feng’s talent is truly great. These seven divine swords will definitely kill that kid in no time.”
Ye Fan directly charged forward towards those seven stars, brandishing his golden fists to smash them.
Specks of Xuanhuan appeared below the surface of his skin to protect his body.
Chen Feng’s divine energy truly was powerful, and it really could suppress him. With a whole great realm separating them, Chen Feng released an extremely unyielding technique that Ye Fan was not able to contend against.
Ye Fan was continuously attempting to use the Xuanhuan, finally allowing a bit of Origin Qi to protect himself from the powerful divine energy’s suppression.
In the end, he tore through the divine energy’s confinement, arriving in front of those seven stars.
His golden fist smashed forward, and space seemed to collapse and warp.
He had exceptional confidence in his close combat ability. A fist smashed forward and caused the Dubhe star to explode, its starlight immediately scattering.
Ye Fan repeatedly punched out, the Origin Qi flashing over his body. The other six stars were also quickly blown to bits by him.
“How is this possible?!” Chen Feng was shocked. He was a Paramita realm cultivator whose divine energy was incomparably great. If he were to truly attack, he definitely should have crushed Ye Fan.
But right now the opposite occurred. Ye Fan had easily crushed his lifeforce divine stars, worrying him greatly.
“What kind of guy is this person? Just how great is his power, for him to crush even senior brother Chen Feng’s lifeforce divine stars?!”
“Even another Paramita realm cultivator might not be able to do this!”
The Star Peak’s disciples were all extremely stupefied, not understanding how this could be.
Ye Fan’s physical body was extremely powerful. Adding on the Origin Qi curling around his body, there was practically nothing that could stop him.
“As long as my body is not exterminated, my lifeforce divine stars will also not die! Did you think just crushing them would be enough?” The stars of the Big Dipper suddenly once more appeared in the sky.
“Then I’ll just break them again!” Ye Fan had no choice but to risk it all. Since they were separated by a whole realm, no matter how many secret techniques he used, it would still be difficult.
“Seven stars come to life, seal space-time!” Chen Feng shouted, his seven stars of the Big Dipper becoming seven light beams that flew down and surrounded Ye Fan.
BOOM!
The stars shone, like a starry sea had descended down and sealed Ye Fan within them.
At this time, the Big Dipper’s seven stars had become countless stars, the place around him changing into a starry sky.
Although they were real stars and were only condensed through starlight, they were enough to seal a Divine Bridge realm cultivator.
The powerful divine energy felt like several huge mountains were smashing down, trying to pulverize Ye Fan into powder.
A Paramita realm cultivator’s divine energy was simply too powerful. If the battle continued like this, Ye Fan would eventually be refined to ashes.
But Ye Fan didn’t panic because he still had a powerful trump card – the Origin Qi. This was the main reason why he dared fight against the Paramita realm.
Although he was unable to bring the Origin Qi out of his body, the endless starlight that was trying to crush him was all annihilated when it touched the surface of his body, and was unable to harm him.
“If I could bring out my newly refined Vessel or succeed in having the Origin Qi refine my body, I wouldn’t have to be so passive.”
Ye Fan was secretly using the secret art from the very start of the battle, but he failed to trigger the explosive power.
According to legend, this kind of supreme secret art might be very difficult and profound, but it did not take a long time to comprehend. It was already in complete harmony with the Dao Scripture, and he had already tried using it hundreds of times.
As he waited, the Star Peak’s disciples no longer said anything, all waiting for him to be refined.
Chen Feng’s whole body was radiating light, his white clothes pure, truly appearing like a lord of the stars.
“Now!” Ye Fan finally managed to succeed in triggering the supreme secret art’s abilities.
At this very moment, he felt incomparably powerful. His battle strength quickly rose, and he felt as if he had rushed to the Paramita realm.
“Ten times…it really is ten times the battle prowess!” This was practically a dream. This kind of supreme secret art might be difficult to activate, but once it did, it was an priceless treasure.
This was a hard to imagine change; he was now ten times more powerful? It couldn’t be understood using common sense. This was a huge change, changing trash into treasure!
BOOM!!!
Ye Fan’s one fist managed to shatter all the stars that filled the sky. With his speed ten times greater, using the old madman’s footwork, he charged forward with just one step.
BANG!!!
Chen Feng was completely unable to dodge. He was sent flying by a single fist, dozens of bones in his body now broken.
Starlight flashed and his divine energy was broken, losing its fighting strength.
At the same time, Ye Fan felt his body become empty, the powerful battle prowess receding like the tide and completely disappearing.
This was an extremely strange feeling; ascending to a peak before once more returning to normal in just a second.
“This supreme secret art is definitely a precious treasure!” Ye Fan was extremely excited. He estimated that it was even more valuable than the Void Ancient Scripture.
“How is it possible for senior brother Chen Feng to be defeated?!”
“What kind of secret technique did he use to be able to break through the sky full of starlight and sent a Paramita realm cultivator flying…”
The Star Peak’s disciples were all flabbergasted, unable to accept this reality.
Amongst them, Li Xiaoman was the most shocked. Huge waves rippled within her heart and she was unable to remain calm, feeling as if she were in a dream.
“I won’t go too far. Although you told everyone that you were going to break all my body’s bones, I won’t take your life.” Ye Fan walked up to the fallen Chen Feng.
At this time, Chen Feng’s white clothes were covered in dust and over half his teeth had fallen out. His face was completely pale and he was unable to accept this. His beaten body was unable to budge an inch.
“Just who is to blame should be obvious to you. The Star Peak has always acted dominant and did not tolerate others rising to power. In the future, I hope you guys try to behave.”
After defeating a Paramita realm expert, Ye Fan’s heart suddenly calmed down and the restlessness within him disappeared.
Many of the Star Peak’s disciples began to fly over.
“Quickly leave, there’s a cultivator who has surpassed the Paramita realm coming,” Ji Ziyue grabbed Ye Fan and flew away.
Just at this moment, a rainbow flew from Zhuo Peak, looking like a real bridge that passed a dozen kilometers to reach here. Li Ruoyu stood on the rainbow and picked up Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue.
This caused everyone to gasp. Just how powerful of a magical power was this to form a rainbow that passed through a dozen mountains. Such a technique was shocking to everyone.
In the distant air, a couple old seniors immediately fixed their gaze on that rainbow and cupped their hands to Li Ruoyu. “Senior brother Li, we have no ill intentions.”
“I know.” Li Ruoyu gave only a curt reply.
That rainbow that spanned from Zhuo Peak quickly shrunk back, bringing the three of them back to Zhuo Peak’s summit.
“Senior brother Li is truly extraordinary…”
“He’s already surpassed common sense. He might even be equal to ancient elites.”
The Star Peak’s Elders began to quietly discuss this.
Ji Ziyue was speechless. Li Ruoyu was unfathomable, even more mysterious than some of the Ji Family’s ancestors.
“The Star Peak’s disciples are too easily beaten.” Ji Ziyue purposely tried to broach this subject.
“The most outstanding disciples of the Star Peak didn’t show themselves. Although they can’t compare the Eastern Wasteland’s divine body, they aren’t people the current you is capable of fighting against,” said Li Ruoyu.
In the end, Ji Ziyue yawned and walked over to a small wooden cottage.
Only then did Ye Fan consult Li Ruoyu, “I tried hundreds of times before triggering the supreme secret art once. Does senior have any method to increase this probability?”
“With the increase of your cultivation realm the probability of success will increase. Other than this, the only other means is to find the other supreme secret arts. Each successful cultivation of one will increase the chance of success by ten percent.”
Ye Fan was shocked. According to what Li Ruoyu said, it was no wonder those nine secrets were termed supreme secret arts. They were too extraordinary.
If the nine secrets could be combined together, then not even including the other eight secret arts’ supreme might and if just Zhuo Peak’s secret art could reach its perfect state, he should be able to activate it whenever he wanted.
“This…is practically unbelievable!”
“Yes, it’s capable of turning trash into treasure.” Li Ruoyu agreed. “Maybe it was precisely due to how inconceivable it was that even the Heavens would not permit all nine secrets to be combined, and it was only then they were separated and lost in every direction.”
“Who has come to my Zhuo Peak? Reveal yourself.” Li Ruoyu suddenly exclaimed at just that moment.
The surroundings were very quiet and there wasn’t any sound or abnormality. No unfamiliar figure could be seen on Zhuo Peak, only those dozens of new disciples. The cottages midway up the mountain didn’t seem to hear anything, including Li Ruoyu’s voice.
The small lake between Ye Fan’s eyebrows pulsed and released a powerful divine sense that swept through all spaces. He sensed a strange air, but he was unable to precisely capture it or confirm what it was.
Li Ruoyu calmly stood atop Zhuo Peak’s summit. He didn’t make any movements, but the surrounding vegetation immediately began to quickly grow and extend outwards.
“So it was actually an expert from the Ji Family. The Void Art is truly deserving of its reputation, capable of traversing space. It really is earth-shattering and worthy of being called a supreme secret art.” Li Ruoyu raised his hand and fixed his gaze on something, seeming able to peer through the void and see the source.
Beneath his feet, a vine stretched out into midair. It was emerald green with a flower bud growing on top of it that emitted a bright light. At this time it was unceasingly growing and quickly stretched out towards the sky, the bud facing the wind and blossoming, the petals sparkling and pure, glorious and dazzling. It bound a piece of space within the huge flower.
This was a natural Grand Dao, the flowers representing the eternal, completely binding space!
“Zhuo Peak is truly extraordinary. Could it be a second elite is about to appear here?” Space rippled and an old man walked out of the void to stand atop a sparkling petal.
