Supreme Cultivation Master

Chapter 618: Chapter 617: Proving Strength

"Back then...," the Evil Punishment Main God murmured, recalling a bygone era. It was a time when the heavens and earth were at their most violent, and the war between the Evil Gods and the Righteous Gods raged at its deadliest.

He vaguely remembered the final scene. He had fought alongside the Ancestor of Tianyuan, only to witness the Ancestor’s soul perish, and he himself did not escape unscathed. Betrayed by several of the Ancestor’s own disciples, he was framed as the final culprit in their master’s death. The memory alone made him seethe with rage.

He fled to the Evil Valley and eventually became its Controller, having sworn an oath to serve only the master of the Yuanhong Sword. For this reason, he now asked, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Don’t get agitated!" the Divine General warned.

"Who’s agitated? You’re the one who’s agitated!" the Evil Punishment Main God retorted, speechless.

The Divine General pointed at Ye Fan and declared, "He is the master of the Yuanhong Sword!"

To play along, Ye Fan immediately revealed the Yuanhong Sword, striking a majestic and imposing pose. It was truly a bit over-the-top.

When he saw the Yuanhong Sword, the Evil Punishment Main God froze, his gaze stupefied. He never thought he would see this sword again. The Ancestor of Tianyuan had become a legend, and the Yuanhong Sword had passed into legend with him. Who could have imagined it would reappear now?

At this, the Divine General said, "Evil Punishment Main God, it is time to honor your vow! He is the successor of the Ancestor of Tianyuan!"

Suddenly, an overwhelming surge of murderous intent erupted from the Evil Punishment Main God. The killing aura shot directly toward Ye Fan.

Ye Fan could not withstand the intense aura alone. He felt a desperate, suffocating pressure bear down upon him, nearly forcing him to his knees. Worse still, the Evil Punishment Main God had already conjured a formidable power and unleashed it straight at Ye Fan.

"Not good!" In that instant, Ye Fan felt death descending upon him.

CLASH!

Just as he was forced to shut his eyes, he found the Divine General struggling to block the attack before him, nullifying the Evil Punishment Main God’s deadly strike.

The Divine General rebuked him harshly, "Evil Punishment Main God, have you lost your mind? You’re trying to kill our mentor’s successor!"

The Evil Punishment Main God replied, "He is not my mentor’s successor, and I have no reason to pledge my loyalty to him! Take him and leave. Otherwise, I might not be able to stop myself from landing a killing blow!"

His tone was terrifying. From the look in his eyes, Ye Fan could tell he was not lying; he was fully capable of carrying out his threat.

"Damn it, you really are insane." The Divine General began to lead Ye Fan away.

Suddenly, the Evil Punishment Main God spoke again. "If you want me to pledge my loyalty to someone as weak as him, I need him to give me the most convincing argument. In the Divine Domain, the most convincing argument is strength!"

The pair turned around. Ye Fan asked, "Senior, how do I prove my strength?" free𝑤ebnovel.com

This was a crucial point. Ye Fan was no coward. To subdue a top-tier expert of the Divine Domain like the Evil Punishment Main God, a price had to be paid. Now was that moment, and he would not shrink from it.

"Prove yourself!" the Evil Punishment Main God commanded. "If you can defeat me while I’m at your level, then I will pledge my loyalty to you!"

"Old man, don’t push it!" the Divine General shouted angrily. It was obvious that even if the Evil Punishment Main God suppressed his power to match Ye Fan’s, Ye Fan would have an incredibly difficult time winning. This had nothing to do with talent; after all, the Evil Punishment Main God was a Main God Level expert with countless techniques at his disposal.

"The Ancestor of Tianyuan was able to defeat me in ten moves when we fought at the same level," the Evil Punishment Main God said, his attitude firm and decisive. "I expect him to defeat me within twenty. Otherwise, he is not worthy of my allegiance, even if he holds the Yuanhong Sword!"

"Alright," Ye Fan said. "Since the Ancestor of Tianyuan could defeat you in ten moves at the same level, I will not bring shame to his name!"

"Kid, arrogance isn’t the same as strength!" the Evil Punishment Main God said coldly.

"Junior Brother, don’t fight him! He’s clearly being unreasonable. Just ignore someone like him!" the Divine General urged, afraid Ye Fan would suffer for it.

But Ye Fan replied, "Senior Brother, I’ll be fine. I’m confident I can win within ten moves!"

Seeing the confidence and determination in Ye Fan’s eyes, the Divine General stopped trying to persuade him. He decided that even if Ye Fan failed, he would stand by him and support him forever. Perhaps this had been his intention all along. But despite knowing Ye Fan would likely be defeated, he found himself influenced by his sheer presence and began to believe in him.

"My cultivation level is now the same as yours," the Evil Punishment Main God announced. "Make your move! I want to see what makes you qualified to replace the Ancestor of Tianyuan!"

Ye Fan didn’t waste words. "Senior, since we’ll be fighting at the same level, it’s only fair if I give you a three-move head start!"

The Divine General was speechless, wanting to point at Ye Fan’s nose and curse. Good grief! You reckless fool, you’re already at a disadvantage! And you’re giving him a three-move head start? Oh, for heaven’s sake! Are you trying to lose? Can you please stop messing around? Your opponent is the Evil Punishment Main God; even at the same level, he’s one of the best! Thinking this, he urgently tried to signal Ye Fan, but Ye Fan seemed to ignore his frantic gestures, leaving him utterly exasperated.

The Evil Punishment Main God’s expression darkened. "Are you insulting me!" he bellowed.

"I have no intention of insulting you, Senior! I simply want a fair fight. If I don’t give you a three-move handicap, it would be unfair when I defeat you," Ye Fan stated calmly. "I wouldn’t feel right about it."

"Get lost! I don’t need you to go easy on me!" the Evil Punishment Main God roared, his temper flaring. In the thousands of years he had dominated the Divine World, he had never met anyone so arrogant.

But Ye Fan simply said, "Senior, please, make your move."

"Courting death!"

The Evil Punishment Main God attacked instantly, swearing he would smash Ye Fan’s head in. He rapidly gathered his power. With his cultivation suppressed to Ye Fan’s level, he immediately unleashed the Evil Punishment Power with his first move.

He really is stronger than other martial artists of the same level! Ye Fan was inwardly shocked. Although the Evil Punishment Main God had reduced his cultivation to only the Nirvana Sixth Layer Heaven, his strength far surpassed that of Yan Xun.

The Evil Punishment Main God unleashed three streams of Evil Punishment Power that swept toward Ye Fan from three different directions, each one pulsing with the Power of Destruction. The attack from three directions left Ye Fan with no escape. This overwhelming destructive force was clearly meant to seal his fate.

"So strong!" the Divine General exclaimed in shock. He realized that even at the same level, he would be no match for the Evil Punishment Main God. freewebnovёl.ƈom

The three streams of power reached Ye Fan in an instant. At that very moment, however, Ye Fan saw through the attack. He moved swiftly, vanishing just an instant before the three forces converged.

BOOM!

The three forces collided, setting off a massive explosion. After the blast subsided, Ye Fan was gone.
