Free Web NovelChapter 626: Chapter 625: Midway Challenge
"Junior Brother!"
"Martial Uncle!"
The Evil Punishment Main God and Wu Fa rushed toward Ye Fan, worried sick about his safety.
Just then, the dark clouds and lightning miraculously vanished from the sky. Looking up, they saw a rainbow appear after the storm, its light descending upon Ye Fan.
"Junior Brother!" the Evil Punishment Main God cried out as he reached Ye Fan’s side. Ye Fan himself was still, but he moved two fingers to make a gesture, signaling that he was alright.
The two immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The Evil Punishment Main God understood perfectly; surviving such a terrifying lightning tribulation was an incredible feat. Wu Fa had already admired Ye Fan, but now he practically worshipped him. If their roles had been reversed, Wu Fa was certain that even nine lives wouldn’t have been enough to survive.
Ye Fan climbed to his feet, and the other two wisely backed away. They knew that Ye Fan now needed to undergo a baptism—a purification of his cultivation realm.
Once the baptism was complete, Ye Fan inspected his cultivation and was stunned to find he had reached the Nirvana Nine Heavens. It caught him completely off guard. This meant he was only a single minor realm away from breaking through to the Great Nirvana Realm. The sudden joy was staggering.
Just then, the Evil Punishment Main God also noticed the change in Ye Fan’s cultivation.
"This is heaven-defying!"
"He’s absolutely the man I admire most!"
The Evil Punishment Main God and Wu Fa muttered simultaneously. To break through three minor realms in one go was unbelievable. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed such a monster existed in the world. Yes, a monster—the strongest monster.
The Evil Punishment Main God finally understood why Ye Fan had earned the acknowledgment of both the Ancestor of Tianyuan and the Yuanhong Sword. It wasn’t just about dominating those in the same realm; he could even crush opponents who were several realms higher than him.
Is this what they call a peerless genius? Utterly terrifying.
Ye Fan could feel that his physical body was even sturdier than before, and the leap in his cultivation realm was self-evident.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother! You’ve broken through three minor realms at once, setting a new precedent for all Martial Artists!" the Evil Punishment Main God quickly exclaimed.
Wu Fa, too, gazed at Ye Fan with a look of pure worship.
Ye Fan rubbed his head innocently and asked, "This is actually the second time I’ve broken through three minor realms at once. Don’t you all advance like this?"
"Hah..." The two men nearly choked on their own frustration. If they could, they would have throttled the show-off right then and there. Showing off in front of strangers is one thing, but what’s the point of doing it in front of us?! We’ve met our share of vexing people, but never anyone as infuriating as Ye Fan!
In truth, Ye Fan wasn’t trying to show off; he genuinely had no idea.
"No, absolutely not!" the Evil Punishment Main God and Wu Fa said in unison.
Ye Fan finally understood. Still, he felt that breaking through three minor realms at once was perfectly normal for him. In fact, if his body could have endured it, he was sure that breaking through four minor realms would have been entirely possible.
Then, he turned to the Evil Punishment Main God. "Senior Brother, I feel like I could take on a Martial Artist in the Great Nirvana Realm!"
"This..." The Evil Punishment Main God was incredulous. After all, a cultivator who had reached the Great Nirvana Realm was a completely different existence from one still in the lesser Nirvana realms. He simply couldn’t believe Ye Fan was being so audacious.
"That’s impossible, right?" Wu Fa also voiced his doubt.
Ye Fan simply said, "I want to test it."
"Oh?" The two looked at him curiously, wondering how he intended to prove it.
Ye Fan then spoke. "Senior Brother, I’d like to test myself against you. Please suppress your cultivation to the Great Nirvana Realm. I want to challenge you! Don’t hold back. If I can’t take it, I’ll let you know."
"Alright!" the Evil Punishment Main God agreed instantly.
Wu Fa, meanwhile, was eager to see if Ye Fan could truly defy the heavens. Of course, the Evil Punishment Main God was also keen to test this. He suppressed his cultivation to the Great Nirvana Realm and prepared to face Ye Fan. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
He said to Ye Fan, "Junior Brother, make your move! If you can’t handle it, I’ll stop on my own."
"Thank you for this, Senior Brother!" Ye Fan replied immediately.
Then, Ye Fan suddenly attacked. He moved like the wind, struck like lightning, and lunged toward the Evil Punishment Main God like a fierce tiger.
The Evil Punishment Main God immediately went all out. Despite giving it his all, he remained absolutely convinced that no matter how heaven-defying Ye Fan was, he could not bridge such an insurmountable gap between realms.
BOOM!
As the two collided, Wu Fa’s jaw dropped. He was completely dumbfounded. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
A figure was sent flying backward through the air in a pathetic display. It wasn’t Ye Fan; it was the Evil Punishment Main God, who had just been using his full strength. He landed in a heap on the ground, limbs splayed out in the shape of an X, utterly disheveled.
At this moment, the Evil Punishment Main God was overcome with shame. To think that he, a mighty expert who had fought his way to the top through countless bloody battles, would suffer such an unexpected and humiliating defeat. He was now the first person in the Divine Domain to be defeated by a Minor Nirvana Martial Artist while he himself was at the Great Nirvana Realm. At that thought, he had the sudden urge to kill himself.
He was forced to admit that Ye Fan wasn’t just invincible within his own realm—he remained unbeatable even when facing someone a major realm above him.
"Martial Uncle is the strongest! Martial Uncle is the strongest!"
That fool Wu Fa immediately began cheering for Ye Fan, completely forgetting that the man just defeated was his own father. As he cheered, the Evil Punishment Main God watched his son celebrate his opponent’s victory without a care for his own father’s plight. His heart turned to ice. He was, without a doubt, utterly devastated.
To save face, and convincing himself that the last exchange was just a fluke, the Evil Punishment Main God decided to go another round. He stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said to Ye Fan, "Ahem, Junior Brother, you’re not weak. I was just letting you have the first move, but you sent me flying. So, I’m convinced you’re worthy of a real challenge! This time, I won’t go easy on you. Come on! Let’s fight again!" he declared shamelessly.
"Tch! He was clearly defeated in a single blow, and he’s still trying to save face," Wu Fa scoffed.
The Evil Punishment Main God was furious. He couldn’t stand the sarcasm and wanted to point at Wu Fa’s nose and scream. Are you even my son?!
Ye Fan clasped his hands in a salute. "Senior Brother, since we’re family, I won’t hold back my techniques this time. I’m going to use my full strength."
"Just use your full strength! I’m not afraid!" the Evil Punishment Main God shouted. "If you don’t go all out, then you’ll have me to answer to!"
What did he mean by that? From Ye Fan’s tone, he’d detected a hint of mockery. Yes, mockery. He definitely wasn’t mistaken. For the sake of his pride, he had to confront Ye Fan head-on this time.
Ye Fan simply said, "Please, begin!"
The Evil Punishment Main God’s expression, initially calm, hardened as he roared, "DIE!"
He immediately began to gather his power. Once it coalesced, overwhelming waves of Evil Punishment Power billowed forth. Once again, he manifested the phantom of the evil dragon. This time, however, the dragon phantom was even more formidable than before. This evil dragon was the absolute pinnacle of power he could manifest within the Great Nirvana Realm. He firmly believed that no matter how extraordinary Ye Fan was, there was no way he could be defeated now.
