Chapter 625: Chapter 624: Heading to the Martial Arena
"Feel free to speak your mind, Senior Brother," Ye Fan said at once.
The Evil Punishment Main God said, "Junior Brother, I’ll need you to look after Wu Fa."
"Why?" Ye Fan asked. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to look after Wu Fa; it was that Wu Fa was already incredibly powerful.
The Evil Punishment Main God explained, "Because this martial competition is very dangerous. Although Wu Fa’s strength isn’t bad, he’s far too competitive. Other talented disciples can be disregarded, but the top three disciples of the Evil God are absolutely terrifying. Even Wu Fa is no match for them!
"Moreover, Wu Fa isn’t very cunning. If he gets tricked, it could be disastrous. Telling him directly would only wound his pride, so I hope you can help him from the shadows!"
Ye Fan nodded immediately, understanding what the Evil Punishment Main God meant. "Rest assured, Senior Brother. It won’t be his turn to challenge the top three."
"Don’t tell me, Little Junior Brother...?" the Evil Punishment Main God asked Ye Fan in shock.
Ye Fan replied, "That’s right. I’m going to challenge them one by one and sign a life-and-death waiver with each of them."
"Good. Seeing your immense talent, those old geezers definitely won’t let you off the hook. But don’t worry, I’ll find a way to get you out!"
"Understood."
Ye Fan had made up his mind. He would challenge the top three disciples of the Evil God one by one. Although his realm might not be as high as theirs, he possessed an unyielding heart.
As the two were talking, Ye Fan suddenly felt something was wrong with his Divinity. It was audibly cracking.
"Junior Brother, what’s wrong?" the Evil Punishment Main God asked with concern.
Ye Fan held up a hand. "Senior Brother, I’m about to break through. With my previous accumulation, I’m almost there. I want to achieve my breakthrough before we reach the competition arena!"
"Please take me down, Senior Brother!" Ye Fan requested.
"Okay!"
The Evil Punishment Main God didn’t waste words and hurriedly commanded the three-headed Demon Dragon to descend. As the Demon Dragon landed, Wu Fa was the one who suffered. Caught unawares, he crashed harshly to the ground. It was an utterly pathetic sight. He shot them a resentful, aggrieved look, which only made the two men burst into laughter.
Ye Fan immediately composed himself and found an open plain. The Evil Punishment Main God and Wu Fa quickly followed. freewebnoveℓ.com
But Ye Fan said, "Senior Brother, you two should stand back!"
"Haha, don’t worry, your little Heavenly Thunder Nirvana can’t harm me. Just focus on your breakthrough!" the Evil Punishment Main God said confidently.
Even Wu Fa thought Ye Fan was being presumptuous. He wasn’t even a Divine General yet, but he actually believed his own father couldn’t withstand the Thunderous Punishment of his breakthrough.
Ye Fan was speechless. He was speaking to them earnestly, but they wouldn’t listen. He tried again, "Senior Brother, it’s really dangerous!"
"Nonsense. I also want to see just how strong the Heavenly Tribulation of a special existence like you is. Don’t worry, I won’t distract you!" the Evil Punishment Main God assured him.
Unable to persuade them, Ye Fan had no choice but to put a full kilometer of distance between himself and the Evil Punishment Main God before he began to shatter his bottleneck.
The instant the bottleneck broke, the clear sky, which had stretched for thousands of miles, was suddenly blotted out by dense, dark clouds. Muffled thunder rumbled as colossal bolts of lightning slithered within.
The sight was shocking. The mouths of the Evil Punishment Main God and Wu Fa hung wide open. They had never expected such a monstrous Heavenly Thunder to appear during Ye Fan’s Nirvana. The intensity was off the charts. Even the Evil Punishment Main God hadn’t witnessed such a terrifying spectacle during his own Great Nirvana breakthrough.
He began to wonder if Ye Fan was preparing to break through the first Great Nirvana, which was the equivalent of ten lesser nirvanas. But he quickly dismissed the thought as impossible. After all, Ye Fan’s current realm was only the Nirvana Sixth Layer Heaven. Leaping through ten levels of Nirvana at once was an utter fantasy.
That raised the question: if he wasn’t breaking through to Great Nirvana, why was the Thunderous Punishment so monstrous? It was truly as terrifying as the legends claimed. No wonder Ye Fan had told them to move further away. The ferocity of this lightning surpassed the Evil Punishment Main God’s comprehension and was beyond Wu Fa’s wildest imagination. Wu Fa knew only one thing: if he had faced such an immense Thunderous Punishment during his own breakthrough to the Nirvana Seventh Layer Heaven, a single strike would have blasted him to dust.
BOOM!
The first bolt of lightning slammed into Ye Fan’s body, charring him completely black. He looked worse than a beggar.
"I knew it would be like this. Come on, bring it!"
Ye Fan knew his Nirvana breakthroughs were never easy, so he had long braced himself for this moment and prepared for the second impact.
As the next strike descended, the Evil Punishment Main God grabbed Wu Fa and retreated another ten kilometers. Wu Fa trembled uncontrollably, his legs shaking like leaves.
The Evil Punishment Main God, however, quickly steadied himself and remarked, "Incredible, truly incredible! For a Nirvana at the same realm, the pressure of the lightning he has to withstand is dozens of times greater than anyone else’s! Such endurance is bone-chilling!"
This must be the final strike, right? If this isn’t the end, then this Heavenly Tribulation is far too terrifying! It’s not a tribulation any human could possibly survive.
"It... it should be," Wu Fa stammered, shivering so badly he could barely speak.
Just then, all the lightning in the sky merged into a single, massive column, thicker than any beam of light! A terrifying power instantly bore down on them.
BOOM!
This time, Ye Fan couldn’t help but gasp. His Divinity was cracking violently. If it weren’t for the fusion of the two peerless Immortal Mines, Peerless Divine Steel and Vast Divine Steel, he would have never been able to withstand such a brutal strike.
Even the Evil Punishment Main God trembled. This had far surpassed the lightning of a Great Nirvana, yet it seemed this was only the beginning. He couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration for Ye Fan.
Ye Fan weakly struggled to get up.
"He’s not dead yet!" Wu Fa exclaimed in shock.
He was promptly smacked hard on the back of the head by the Evil Punishment Main God, who scolded, "Can’t you watch your damn mouth?"
"Old man, I was wrong," Wu Fa quickly apologized.
The Evil Punishment Main God said, "If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a terrifying method of undergoing Nirvana exists in this world!"
"Wu Fa, you must remember this: becoming an unparalleled genius isn’t easy. Simply possessing numerous techniques doesn’t make one a genius! To be able to endure such endless pressure and revive amidst the strikes of a thousand lightning bolts—that is the mark of the strongest genius."
The Evil Punishment Main God’s tone was incredibly solemn as he educated his son. Hearing this, Wu Fa grew pensive.
The two looked again toward Ye Fan. This time, they were certain he must have succeeded in his Nirvana.
However, they were wrong. The lightning that came next was even more ferocious, and it was accompanied by the myriad Daos. The Power of Dao was far more terrifying than the power of lightning, as Ye Fan had to endure the weight of countless Daos.
BOOM!
As this strike landed, Ye Fan immediately spat blood and crashed heavily to the ground, seemingly lifeless.
This terrified the two onlookers. They couldn’t sense any sign of life from Ye Fan at all. And yet, the Thunderous Punishment was relentless, continuing its assault.
