Chapter 170 Incinerating a Grand Elder
“You…you’re alive?” Ji Hui couldn’t believe it.
“If even an old crone like you hasn’t died, how could I?” Ye Fan truly did feel somewhat unwilling. Despite avoiding all sorts of disasters, just as he was about to leave, a complete calamity descended.
This is complete crap! I escaped ninety-nine death traps. With just one more second I could have escaped. How could I run into you guys here?!, Ye Fan helplessly asked the heavens.
“It’s him! It’s that little thief!”
“It really is shocking. He wasn’t burned to death even within the sixth level of the Flame Region and managed to run out alive.”
The Ji Family elders were incomparably shocked. They had never thought they would see Ye Fan once more. A youngster who should have died long ago actually reappeared alive and well in front of them.
“Little bastard, how did you get out alive?” Ji Hui’s killing intent exploded out as she coldly glared at him.
“You old shameless crone, if you call me young master, I’ll tell you.” By now, fear would do nothing for Ye Fan.
The surrounding people all revealed strange expressions as they learned of Ye Fan’s identity.
Over half a year ago, Ye Fan’s name had passed throughout this entire region. He had shouted loudly to the Ji Family’s elders to get lost, becoming the Ji Family’s younger generation’s number one public enemy. They chased him throughout the land, but even in the end they weren’t able to kill him, and were only able to force him into the Flame Region.
Who would have thought that after this half a year, he would actually once more appear, completely healthy. This really was a slap in the Ji Family’s face.
To not be able to kill the Peacock King was one thing. But they weren’t even able to kill a youngster like him? How could the Ji Family endure this?
Everyone was in an uproar with each of them completely stupefied.
The platform’s hundreds of cultivators all withdrew, leaving only Ye Fan on it. Right now there was no way to traverse the void.
The Unfettered Sect’s people all stared at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do. People were immediately sent to report to the Sect Leader and the Grand Elders.
The Ji Family’s people’s faces all darkened.
“A little thief like you really has great luck. Even the Flame Region was unable to kill you.” Ji Fui advanced, telling the others to surround him, not letting him have any chance of escaping.
“You self-interested old crone who repays kindness with enmity!” Ye Fan thought it over. He wouldn’t give up even until the final moment.
“No wonder Ji Ziyue no longer continued sulking. She must have also learned that you hadn’t died…” Ji Hui’s expression became even more ugly.
“Do you want to know why I didn’t die?” Ye Fan gazed at everyone.
All of them were looking at him. Even the Ji Family Grand Elder was no exception. He had only become a Grand Elder thirty years ago. Even he had to be careful when he entered the sixth level of the Flame Region.
“I was saved by a sovereign. He had once been guided by big brother old madman!” Ye Fan boasted shamelessly without the slightest reddening of his cheeks.
“Little thief, no matter who you bring up, it will be useless!” Ji Hui sinisterly said, “Even if he has achieved Immortality, what can a completely deranged old man do? Today I’ll completely hack you into pieces!”
“Everyone, you all heard it. She was insulting the Celestial Jade Sacred Land’s last remaining old madman…” called out Ye Fan.
The Ji Family Grand Elder seemed to have some misgivings, so he glanced at Ji Hui and said, “Don’t say rash things!”
“He’s already insane. What can he do to us? We’ll kill this little thief today and search his soul for that footwork. My Ji Family will once more obtain a supreme secret art!” Ji Hui responded in a barely audible voice.
Ye Fan was very close to her. Others might not have heard it, but he heard it very clearly. “Not only do you want to repay kindness with enmity, you even want to steal my secret art. You damn old crone, you really are shameless!”
“You little thief!” Ji Hui’s face turned ashen and she sent a palm smashing forward.
Ye Fan didn’t take out his cauldron at this time. If he revealed it prematurely, he wouldn’t have the slightest hope.
Despite his quick speed, there was no way for him avoid that huge hand that covered the entire sky.
BANG!
The huge hand slammed down, sending him flying. If his cultivation base had not recently greatly risen or his physical body was not so shocking, he would have been smashed into pieces by just this one palm.
“Little thief, I won’t kill you like this. I still want the old madman’s supreme footwork. Instead I’ll torture you into a state worse than death!” Ji Hui’s expression was very sinister and her voice was very faint. Other than the Ji Family’s people, the other cultivators were unable to hear her.
BANG!
Ji Hui once more attacked, the huge heaven-covering palm viciously slamming down again.
Ye Fan was still enduring it. He didn’t take out his cauldron and was once more slammed down.
“Little thief, I’ll sort you out properly…” Ji Hui sinisterly laughed. “Where will you run?”
“Don’t hurt his physical body.” Just at this time, the Ji Family Grand Elder Ji Changkong stopped Ji Hui, saying, “Haoyue once said to me this child’s physique is special, so don’t destroy it. I want to carefully study it.”
Ji Changkong was as mighty as a huge mountain and as unfathomable as a bottomless abyss. He reached out his hand and grabbed Ye Fan just as easily as picking up a leaf.
Ye Fan’s heart shook, but he didn’t rush and still waited.
Ji Changkong didn’t seal Ye Fan. Someone as powerful as him truly looked down on a Paramita realm cultivator as no more than an ant.
He reached towards Ye Fan’s Sea of Bitterness. But the instant he touched it, his expression immediately changed and he involuntarily cried out, “How is this possible?!”
The surrounding people, whether it was the Ji Family’s people, the Unfettered Sect’s elders, or even the cultivators preparing to traverse the void, all revealed shocked expressions as they looked at Ye Fan.
To let a Ji Family Grand Elder lose his composure, just what kind of physique was this? Everyone’s heart shook and they all greatly desired to learn this.
“This little thief really is a demonic disaster!” Ji Changkong was incomparably shocked. “If such an evil creature appeared before the Ancient Desolation, our Ji Family might really have provoked great trouble. But now… he’s unable to cause anything.”
“What kind of physique is it?” asked some of the surrounding elders of the Ji Family.
“The Ancient Desolation Sacred Body. Countless years ago, it was absolutely unrivalled. Even the Desolate Pagoda required several attacks to suppress it to death.” Ji Changkong repeatedly sighed, saying, “I never thought this litttle demon would actually have such a physique. It really is shocking.”
“This…”
Everyone was completely stunned. Never had they thought Ye Fan would have such a physique. However, people quickly felt relieved. The Sacred Body was already something of the past, and in the current era, possessing it meant you were crippled. The Eastern Wastelands’ divine body already towered over it.
“This little demon is truly out of my expectations.” A strange expression appeared on the Ji Family Grand Elder’s face as he said, “To be able to cultivate to the Paramita realm is already incredible. Once we take out his origin, it should be able to level up Haoyue’s divine body by another level.”
Ye Fan was furious at being called an evil demon by Ji Changkong, and he really wanted to slap the old man’s face.
The surrounding people’s expression all changed, and only the Ji Family’s people were happy.
“This evil demon’s physical body is so powerful, it’s absolutely stunning.” Ji Changkong’s expression was repeatedly becoming more and more amazed as he probed Ye Fan’s physique. “His Wheel and Sea seems to have a Variation. Let me see just what it is!”
Ye Fan’s heart sneered. He motionlessly let this old man perform his techniques.
Ji Changkong’s five fingers stretched out like a dragon claw, causing light to immediately erupt, blossoming with a marvelous mighty force that was impossible to resist!
Ye Fan didn’t try to oppose it, instead going with it and taking out his cauldron.
His small cauldron silently appeared. Ji Changkong’s hand grabbed onto it, and he immediately involuntarily cried out in fear, now even more shocked than before.
The inside of the cauldron was filled with mist. Xuanhuan flowed around, sealed below the cauldron mouth.
“Origin Qi- wait no, it’s Origin Qi foundation!” Even someone as powerful as him was absolutely amazed. This kind of legendary and rare sacred material was something that only appeared in myths and tales of ancient history. Its appearance caused him to be amazed to the absolute peak.
“I really never would have imagined this evil demon possessed such a sacred material! Haha…” Ji Changkong was unable to maintain his self-control and he laughed up to the sky.
The surrounding people were all profoundly shocked, all looking towards the cauldron.
The Ji Family’s elders advanced even closer, all examining it, each of them wanting to personally touch it.
Ji Changkong wanted to carefully study the cauldron and let the Origin Qi flow out from within the cauldron mouth.
Just at this time, Ye Fan also took action, urging the cauldron to unleash the sealed Origin Qi.
BOOM!
A huge explosion rang out and endless piercing rays filled the surroundings!
A blazing temperature caused all the distant cultivators’ spirits to shudder, and they all quickly retreated.
Even so, some cultivators were still burned to ashes.
At this time, a radiant five-colored brilliance soared at the center of the eruption. It was like an immortal world had been opened. Five-colored clouds and mist surged, enveloping heaven and earth.
This was an unimaginably terrifying power. The five-colored light was the only thing in the world right now as it blazed and raged!
Who knew just how much flame energy Ye Fan had collected within the seventh level of the Flame Region. The cauldron was able to contain a space as large as the stone forest, the area would make people speechless. At this time, it was filled with five-colored mist flames without wasting the slightest bit of space.
Releasing all the flames at once was a huge disaster to this place!
Those flames were something terrifying that even powerful figures might be burned alive by!
“AHH!”
The Ji Family Grand Elder let out a miserable scream as he was completely enveloped by flames. He soared into the air as he tried struggling against the flames.
Of the Ji Family’s elders, around a dozen of them were instantly burned to ashes, not even able to struggle in the slightest!
“Time to play with a big fish!” Ye Fan’s eyes bloomed with divine splendor. He took out the pure jade bottle and gulped down the spring water, madly urging his cauldron to attack Ji Changkong along with the endless flames.
BANG!
The Ji Family’s powerful figure was able to block the cauldron, but he was unable to block those blazing flames. The five-colored mist flames had been collected within the cauldron and were now completely released around him, completely submerging him inside.
He had only become a Ji Family Grand Elder thirty years ago. It could be said he was the weakest of the Ji Family’s powerful figures.
The sixth level of the Flame Region was already something dangerous to powerful figures. Ye Fan had personally seen quite a few human-shaped ashes there. The seventh level flames there were even more powerful, and were definitely something that could take his life!
The lamentable Ji Changkong was completely enveloped by the flames. Even someone as powerful as he released a thunderous scream as he was unable to suppress the flames. His divine energy was completely burned away and his whole body was afire. Each inch of his skin was burnt, and even his bones were seared by the flames. In fact, even his soul was being consumed.
“AHH!” he mournfully howled, “These are the Five Element True Flames of legend!”
Hearing this name, the distant cultivators all quivered. Five Element True Flames were unimaginable terrifying. As long as the body was ignited by them, there was no way to extinguish them!
“AHHH!” Ji Changkong turned into black cinders that fell from the sky, tumbling everywhere.
As for the Ji Family’s elders, over half of them had been reduced to ashes, and only a couple had managed to survive due to being further away, thus avoiding the worst-case scenario.
There were also more people who had over half their body burned away. Since the Five Element True Flame could not be extinguished, they had to actually cut off over half their bodies and flee in order to survive.
Everyone was completely terrified by these flames!
Ye Fan was just a youngster. His cultivation base wasn’t very frightening. It was completely astonishing for him to burn a Ji Family Grand Elder to death. This would definitely shake the southern region!
Ye Fan shouted loudly, “First was the Peacock King, then Daoist Crow, and now I too will have killed a powerful member of your Ji Family!”
He drank gulps of the spring water as he urged his cauldron to focus all the flames on Ji Changkong.
Not far away, Ji Hui was alive, although half her body was now severed and her divine energy was used up.
“You old crone, the day has finally come!” Ye Fan was just about to advance.
The Ji Family’s other elders hastily blocked him, escaping with Ji Hui far away.
At the same time, a cry came from the distant sky, “Who dares to cause trouble in my Unfettered Sect?!”
The Unfettered Sect’s Sect Leader and Grand Elders had been drawn over.
Ye Fan saw that Ji Changkong had been burned to ashes and even his soul had been exterminated. He knew that even if an Immortal came, they would be unable to save Ji Changkong.
He used his supreme footwork at arrive at the platform in an instant. He activated the huge amount of Sources inserted below the platform. Its Dao Glyphs had already been carved long before, and as long as it was provided enough Source energy, it could be started.
Ye Fan immediately jumped into the center of the platform.
Boundless energy radiated everywhere as divine light soared. Space was torn open as the Domain Gate opened!
Ye Fan rushed in and began traversing the void!
By the time the Unfettered Sect Leader rushed over and saw everything, he felt a huge headache coming on. This was a heaven-shaking matter!
Over a dozen of the Ji Family’s elders had been burned to ashes, and one of their powerful figures had been incinerated. This would definitely shake the southern region.
The Ji Family had to be furious. In less than a year, they had lost three Grand Elders. The southern region was sure to become enveloped by a huge storm!
“Quick, destroy the altar! He can’t be allowed to escape!”
Immediately a ray of light slammed into the platform and with a loud rumbling sound, the platform shattered, filling the sky with dust.
Space was shattered, but no one came out.
“In just that short time, he might have already gone tens of thousands of kilometers away.”
“With the void shattering, someone of his cultivation base should have already been ground to dust.”
Ye Fan was already prepared. The instant he had entered the void, he had hopped into his cauldron in order to avoid just such a situation.
Thus, even when the void shattered, he was completely safe within the cauldron refined from Origin Qi foundation.
“That despicable bastard!” the Ji Family’s survivors all roared angrily.
This matter would definitely shake the southern region and spread throughout the land.
Without a doubt, a wild tempest was about to arise!
