Chapter 1705: Chapter 1574: Heart Demon Chaotic Dance
The Demon World was in chaos, filled with a faint scent of blood. Though it was a world of Divine Souls, it was no different from the real world.
The Great Demon put all his effort into battling Ye Fan. Since he had boasted grandly, he was naturally unwilling to give up easily, and he did not believe he would lose.
Their Divine Souls engaged in a life-and-death struggle, not a mere duel, but a battle to the death.
Gradually, Ye Fan also unleashed True Fire, astonished at the strength of the Great Demon’s Divine Soul Power, which ignited his competitive spirit.
This duel was not only a selection for the Human Race’s young elite to fight against the Demon Clan in the future, but also a struggle on the Emperor Road.
The young masters of the Five Domains gathered, with various demonic physiques and powerful talents arriving to seize the opportunity to prove their Dao in the future.
"Clang!"
After they collided again, each retreated, their Divine Souls returning to their bodies, silently gazing at each other.
"You truly surprised me; it’s one thing for your body to be strong, but your Divine Soul is equally powerful. I really don’t know how you cultivated it."
The Demon Sect Young Master, Great Demon, sighed.
Even Ye Fan himself was surprised, as he rarely cultivated his Divine Soul, aside from having practiced the Divine Soul Sword Technique before, and merely obtained the Divine Soul Flames.
Thinking about the Divine Soul Flames, Ye Fan immediately understood that it was the presence of the Divine Soul Flames that made his Divine Soul so powerful.
After being subdued, the Divine Soul Flames integrated with his Divine Soul, continuously refining and tempering it, so even without specialized cultivation, his Divine Soul was much stronger than ordinary cultivators.
Moreover, after entering the Immortal Academy, he experienced the baptism of the Heaven and Earth Bridge in the Immortal Secret Realm, which honed the power of his Divine Soul.
It was on the last few steps of the Heaven and Earth Bridge that his Divine Soul was greatly enhanced, not only shattering the Divine Soul Sword but forging the Divine Soul Seal, and engraving the Tao Markings of Heaven and Earth Great Tao.
"Despite the unexpected strength of your Divine Soul, I must defeat you because Divine Soul Attack is my forte, and you cannot win against me."
The Great Demon collected his smile and said word by word.
"You’re indeed strong, but I won’t lose."
Ye Fan’s eyes burned with intense War Intent, although the Great Demon’s Divine Soul Attack was very strange, he firmly believed he wouldn’t lose, as he still had ultimate techniques up his sleeve.
"Heart Demon Chaos, pervasive everywhere."
The Great Demon shouted, and the world abruptly changed, the bloody scene turning pitch black as scenes of Heart Demon Chaotic Dance attacked Ye Fan’s Divine Soul.
This was an extremely terrifying attack, Heart Demons are the strongest enemies of cultivators, and if one cannot defeat them, the only path is death.
Once a cultivator is controlled by Heart Demons, they become a powerful killing machine, losing their true nature; in a sense, though their body remains alive, their Divine Soul is dead.
Ye Fan steadfastly guarded his Divine Soul, wielding a steel whip to shatter the illusions, turning them into pervasive black Qi.
However—
Heart Demon Chaos is a technique of the Great Demon, layers are endless, fundamentally invincible, as soon as the slightest flaw appears, it will inevitably lead to a frenzied attack.
For a moment, Ye Fan found himself in danger, mentally tense, using the soul-condensed self to unleash Xuandi Fist to the fullest, the steel whip striking left and right, shattering the Heart Demon Chaos.
"It’s no use; this is my world. As long as I’m unharmed, Heart Demon Chaos will never deplete; you can’t kill them all."
At this moment, the Great Demon’s icy voice came through.
At this time, he was leisurely standing at a distance, watching Ye Fan. After casting this secret technique, he couldn’t participate further in the battle; otherwise, with Ye Fan needing to counter the Heart Demons, fighting him too indeed was a certain defeat.
Outside, everyone was anxiously watching this duel to see who could stand tall at the end, which would soon be seen.
However, no one could see the real battlefield. Where Ye Fan and the Great Demon stood was completely dark, even Martial Arts Heavenly Eye could not see through.
From the beginning of the battle till now, an hour had passed. The Emperor of Yuehua Dynasty began preparing a banquet, yet neither side had claimed victory.
"Today’s a duel, strictly no assassins; whoever breaks this rule will face severe punishment, even if they eventually win."
Old Bastard and Seng Dao Yan exchanged glances, simultaneously shouting into the battlefield.
Whether Ye Fan or the Great Demon, they were rare elites of the Human Race, the backbone against the Demon Clan in the future, and the most promising candidates to prove Dao and become Emperor, absolutely indispensable.
On the battlefield, Ye Fan frowned deeply, faced with endless Heart Demon Chaos, unable to finish them, his situation was very unfavorable, constantly at risk of having his heart defense breached.
Once these Heart Demon Chaos invaded his Divine Soul, he would face the greatest danger, potentially becoming lost, controlled by the Heart Demons.
This was the critical danger of Divine Soul combat, with life and death on the line, incapable of holding back.
The Great Demon was also lamenting at this moment. Heart Demon Chaotic Dance, this secret technique, greatly consumed his Divine Soul Power. If Ye Fan couldn’t be defeated, once he recovered, defeat would surely come to him.
"I can’t keep going like this, I can’t stay on the defensive forever, I must attack."
Ye Fan swiftly decided to take a risk, thinking no matter what, Heart Demons must be overcome. Rather than waiting for the future, he chose to attempt it now.
With that thought, Ye Fan abruptly stopped, quietly standing there with eyes closed as if he’d given up resistance.
Hmm?
Seeing this, the Great Demon was shocked, hurriedly retracting the Heart Demon Chaos, fearing it would truly harm Ye Fan’s divine soul.
However——
It was already too late; the moment Ye Fan stopped resisting, countless Heart Demon Chaotic Dances rushed into his divine soul.
At that moment, Ye Fan’s divine soul let out a roar of anger, and his sea of consciousness brilliantly lit up. Streams of Thunder Power formed a Thunder Sea, with several Heaven and Earth Tao Markings swimming like dragons within it. Those Heart Demon Chaotic Dances were instantly torn apart by the violent Thunder Sea.
"Whew~"
Seeing this, Ye Fan finally let out a sigh of relief. He had bet correctly; Thunder Power was indeed the nemesis of Heart Demons. Any evil creature fears the pure and powerful Thunder Power, and Heart Demon Chaotic Dances are no exception.
Moreover, this was not a Heart Demon generated by Ye Fan himself, but one that had invaded from the outside, making it even less likely to harm his divine soul’s source.
"How could this be?"
The Great Demon almost bit his tongue. He never dreamed that this would be the situation—Ye Fan’s sea of consciousness was actually a Thunder Sea; how could he fight this?
"Do you still want to continue?" Ye Fan calmly asked.
"Of course, I don’t believe your divine soul can be stronger than mine."
The Great Demon stubbornly continued his attack, with determination.
This time, he changed tactics again. With a wave of his hand, countless black chains appeared abruptly in the Heavenly Demon Realm, densely packed, slaughtering everything.
This was his final secret technique, the Divine Soul Chains. If he couldn’t defeat Ye Fan with this, then he’d have no choice but to surrender.
However, he couldn’t believe Ye Fan could survive such an overwhelming attack.
This was a Forbidden Secret Technique from the Demon Sect’s secret tome, not to be used lightly except in life-or-death situations—essentially a killer move.
The moment the Divine Soul Chains appeared, Ye Fan felt an immense danger; it was definitely something that could threaten his life.
"Swish!"
Ye Fan quickly retreated, sitting cross-legged in the void at an endless distance, his entire being radiating Infinite Light.
Then, Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two dragon-shaped Divine Lights. Under the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, the entire Heavenly Demon Realm gradually became clear in his vision.
One after another, the Divine Soul Chains flashed with a dark light capable of penetrating everything, not just the divine soul, but even the body could be shredded.
"Hiss~"
Ye Fan gasped. The Great Demon’s reputation was well-deserved, equal to Yu Chanzi, truly unique in his own way.
"You still have time to surrender, otherwise once the attack begins, I might not be able to hold back."
The Great Demon continued to urge Ye Fan to surrender.
Because he had a good feeling about Ye Fan and didn’t want him to be hurt by his hands. His purpose in challenging Ye Fan was partly to humiliate Yu Chanzi and regain face for the Western Region cultivators, and also out of curiosity to test Ye Fan’s divine soul cultivation, but he didn’t intend to harm Ye Fan.
He very much admired Ye Fan’s style; daring to auction the Saint Heir, the strongest heir of the Di Clan, really suited his tastes.
"I’ve never surrendered!"
Ye Fan shouted loudly, a divine soul avatar clad in black armor, wielding a steel whip, rushed out from his forehead, swiftly passing through the dense Divine Soul Chains to attack him.
"Uh..."
The Great Demon was dumbfounded. This kind of divine soul strangling secret technique was unimaginably powerful; nobody could move freely under such ravages—how did Ye Fan do it?
The Great Demon could hardly believe what he saw was real, because previously he had tested this against the Lord Realm Peak elders in the sect. Under such attacks, even the Lord Realm Peak elders of the Demon Sect couldn’t withstand it.
In an instant, Ye Fan stood before the Big Demon, swinging the steel whip towards his head. If it landed, even if the Great Demon were a Nine-Life Strange Cat, it would have led to certain death.
"Ah..."
The Great Demon exclaimed strangely, swinging his Fangtian Halberd fiercely towards the steel whip while retreating rapidly.
However, to his surprise, Ye Fan employed the Soldier Control Technique at that moment, controlling his Fangtian Halberd to slash towards the ground, creating a hundred-mile-long fissure.
"I’m done for!"
The Great Demon closed his eyes, ready to accept this reality, yet he didn’t find himself shattered into pieces; instead, he felt a familiar sensation in his hands.
Opening his eyes, he found Ye Fan standing in front of him, smiling, handing back the steel whip meant for the divine soul.
"I lost!"
The Great Demon shook his head with a wry smile; he hadn’t expected to lose in the area he excelled the most.
However, he was deeply impressed by Ye Fan, able to pull back and return the divine soul-targeted weapon at the critical moment. Such magnanimity and composure made him feel inferior.
