Free Web NovelChapter 1739: Chapter 1606: Beaten Until Surrender
The Ancient Emperor, being one of the earliest Great Emperors of the Human Race, created a mystical skill that shines throughout the ages and left behind many secret techniques.
The Immortal-breaking Slash is one of the last few forbidden secret techniques recorded, left to posterity as a life-saving ultimate skill.
However—
The execution of this forbidden secret technique requires the strength of the Venerable Realm, which the Ancient Immortal lacks, and can only be activated through a secret technique, naturally diminishing its power.
"I didn’t expect you to force me to use a forbidden secret technique. Even if you lose, you can still be proud of yourself!"
The Ancient Immortal let out a low, angry roar, and his whole body surged with mystic light, emanating a terrifying aura, as if he had turned into a different person, bringing tremendous pressure to Ye Fan.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Ancient Immortal seemed to ignite, mystic light rising to the heavens, his right hand forming a sword seal, slashing towards Ye Fan like a mystic bird skimming the sand.
"Is the Ancient Immortal being forced to fight for his life?"
"With his current strength, he absolutely cannot execute the Immortal-breaking Slash, such a forbidden secret technique. Could it be activated using some secret method?"
"The Immortal-breaking Slash is said to be able to cut down immortals. Can Ye Fan’s domain block it?"
"This kind of forbidden secret technique, I’m afraid even the Ancient Immortal cannot control it, any carelessness could lead to death!"
"..."
Seeing the Ancient Immortal perform the Immortal-breaking Slash, the onlookers were completely shocked. The Immortal-breaking Slash of the Gu Family is no secret. Countless years ago, a Saint of the Gu Family once performed this secret technique, easily killing an opponent more than one realm above him at the time, thus leaving a deep impression on the entire cultivation world.
At this moment, when everyone saw the Ancient Immortal utter the words Immortal-breaking Slash, they immediately thought of this forbidden secret technique passed down by the Ancient Emperor!
Initially, everyone thought it was only a matter of time before Ye Fan, with his indestructible domain, defeated the Ancient Immortal. Unexpectedly, such an unexpected turn occurred.
The deputy dean of the Imperial Academy, Old Monster Zhou, suddenly widened his eyes, a powerful aura spreading out as he prepared to intervene at any moment.
"Ye Zi, you must hold on!"
Kou Wenjie was taken aback, silently praying in his heart that Ye Fan could withstand the blow of the Immortal-breaking Slash.
As a descendant of one of the Nine Great Bandits of the Northern Domain, Kou Wenjie naturally knew the power of the Gu Family’s Immortal-breaking Slash, his heart leaping to his throat.
The expressions of Ancient Prince Yue Haoyu and Human Emperor’s Son Yue Hui also became solemn. As sons of emperors, they were naturally familiar with the Ancient Emperor’s secret techniques and deeply understood the power of the Immortal-breaking Slash.
Only Li Yu’er, Wen TaDou, the Great Demon, and Yu Chanzi were unimpressed. Although they could see that the Ancient Immortal was preparing to fight desperately, and the strike was destined to be astonishing, they believed Ye Fan’s domain could surely defend against it.
Li Yu’er and Wen TaDou were not familiar with the Immortal-breaking Slash, while the Great Demon and Yu Chanzi had no idea what the so-called Immortal-breaking Slash was.
Ye Fan, however, dared not be careless. He knew that every Great Emperor had forbidden secret techniques handed down, and if the Ancient Immortal said so, he must be confident in breaking through his domain.
Silently, Ye Fan summoned forth the Heart Protecting Armor, crafted from the sacrificial refinement of Ancient Shield Fragments, to guard in front of him, while simultaneously launching a punch towards the Ancient Immortal’s throat, attacking where the enemy must defend.
"Chi!"
The Ancient Immortal’s sword seal ruthlessly slashed against Ye Fan’s domain, the powerful force directly cutting a tear into the domain, the sword light striking the Heart Protecting Armor refined from Ancient Shield Fragments on Ye Fan’s chest, leaving a deep sword mark on it.
"Puff!"
Ye Fan’s face changed dramatically, spitting out a mouthful of reverse blood, his whole body being slashed more than ten zhang away by the Ancient Immortal’s blow, crashing heavily to the ground.
Having scored a hit, the Ancient Immortal did not pursue the victory but stood in place, his face alternating between green, white, and purple, finally spitting out a mouthful of black blood, wilting like a frost-struck eggplant.
Without the cultivation of the Venerable Realm, he had forcibly executed the forbidden secret technique, the Immortal-breaking Slash, with a secret method. Although he successfully cut through Ye Fan’s domain, he also suffered a strong backlash.
At this moment, his blood and energy were in reverse, feeling extremely uncomfortable, unable to move at all, finding it difficult to even move a finger.
"Uh..."
Seeing this scene, everyone fell silent once again.
This duel was truly a series of upheavals, testing the limits of their nerves.
At the beginning, almost no one thought favorably of Ye Fan, though he had withstood the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation and emerged unscathed, successfully passing Heaven’s test and stepping into the Lord Realm.
But after all, he had just entered the Lord Realm, his realm yet to stabilize, and being unfamiliar with the Domain Power, many believed it was impossible for him to be the Ancient Immortal’s match.
However—
Ye Fan proved them wrong with his actions. His domain was absolutely defensive and incredibly strong. Even the Ancient Immortal, who understood a second element and formed the Wind and Fire Domain, couldn’t break through it, instead being overpowered by him.
At this point, people began to entertain the possibility that even though Ye Fan was one realm lower than the Ancient Immortal, it wasn’t impossible for him to defeat the Ancient Immortal.
On the contrary, many in their hearts had already started to lean towards Ye Fan, believing he could defeat the Ancient Immortal and achieve an immortal legend.
But just when everyone thought there was no suspense, the Ancient Immortal turned the tables by executing a forbidden secret technique, not only breaking Ye Fan’s domain but also injuring him.
While everyone was sighing in their hearts, Ancient Immortal was suffering in silence. His current situation was very dire, and if he couldn’t recover quickly, he was going to take a beating in the next round.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan’s energy and blood were surging. Although he wasn’t directly struck, the immense power still injured him.
At the moment, the two were separated by a hundred feet, staring intently at each other, both racing against time to calm their energy and blood, to restore their combat power.
Whoever could restore their combat power first would completely gain the upper hand in the next battle and continue to defeat the opponent.
"Buzz!"
Ye Fan was the first to calm his turbulent energy and blood, and his slashed domain completely healed, with eight elemental runes slowly rotating around his body.
On the other end, Ancient Immortal let out a great roar, and his reversed energy and blood recovered as well. Both rushed towards each other with the same thought, vying to seize the initiative.
"Kill!"
Ye Fan’s eyes were chilling, and his fists were surrounded by Heaven and Earth Tao Markings, purple light shot skyward, and the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth made him look like a ruthless Killing God.
Similarly, Ancient Immortal Ye Fan was forceful, having just split Ye Fan’s domain with an Immortal-breaking Slash, boosting his confidence. He felt that Ye Fan’s domain wasn’t unbreakable, just required powerful means.
"Boom!"
The two collided like two **** days meeting, bursting out blinding infinite light, emanating an aura of world extinction. Their bodies burned, radiating billions of rays.
"Both are so forceful; are they going to mutually perish?"
Surrounding them, the disciples of Imperial Academy all widened their mouths, nervously watching the two on the Emperor Battle Arena. In this battle, who could ultimately come out on top depended on the result of this tremendous clash.
Boom!
Ye Fan’s punch seemed to pierce through the Nine Heavens, with Heaven and Earth Tao Markings and Thunder Power swirling around the purple fist, producing a terrifying sound akin to Heavenly Dao’s resonance, purple light soaring.
Ancient Immortal was similar, his fist surrounded by Heaven and Earth Tao Markings, dark light flickering, seemingly forged of Dark Immortal Gold, pierced through the void.
"Bang!"
"Pfft!"
Ancient Immortal’s fist first struck Ye Fan’s domain, causing a violent tremor, quickly rotating, dispersing his divine power, failing to harm Ye Fan at all.
Ye Fan’s fist, however, went directly through Ancient Immortal’s chest, taking away a pulsating heart that was still dripping blood, looking exceedingly tragic!
"Ah..."
Ancient Immortal let out a scream, his body shattered, blown apart by Ye Fan’s punch, blood and flesh splattering everywhere, the scene extremely bloody.
"Ancient Immortal was killed?"
"How could this happen? Ancient Immortal is the biological child of Ancient Emperor, unrivaled bloodline, surpassing everything, nearly akin to a resurrected young Ancient Emperor, how could he be killed like this?!"
The disciples of Imperial Academy were stunned; they hadn’t expected Ye Fan to challenge Ancient Immortal, and for it to end like this.
The Taigu Great Emperor, overlooking all heavens and myriad worlds, their physique is invincible, throughout the Three Thousand Worlds, punches through the Six Paths, omnipotent.
Ancient Emperor’s bloodline is matchless, especially his biological child, similar to a young Ancient Emperor reborn, how could he not withstand Ye Fan, someone with impure bloodline and not an Emperor’s son?
"Buzz!"
Ancient Immortal operated Ancient Emperor Secret Technique, blood and flesh consumed primordial, reviving with supreme power, his complexion turning pale, extremely unsightly.
He never expected solely in body combat, to be defeated by Ye Fan, leaving a deep sense of defeat within him.
Swish!
Ye Fan didn’t utter a word; upon Ancient Immortal’s revival, he directly charged forward.
His expression was stern, gaze calm, heart unfazed, yet his moves were extremely fierce, each punch accompanied by dragon roar, as though a great Tao tune was singing!
"Pfft!"
Ancient Immortal was powerless to retaliate and was once again shattered by Ye Fan.
"Buzz!"
Ancient Immortal’s flesh mud once more consumed primordial to revive, his complexion turning even paler, eyes gloomy, veins on his forehead throbbing.
"Surrender, or I’ll beat you until you surrender—I let you resurrect, resurrect once, kill you once, until your Martial Arts Will is shattered!"
This time, Ye Fan didn’t make a move immediately but squinted and stared at Ancient Immortal, slowly speaking, his voice quiet yet soul-stirring!
