Chapter 1725: Chapter 1592: The Ambition of the Azure Gold Furnace Artifact Spirit
Since his debut, Ye Fan has experienced the most dangerous moments, both his body and Divine Soul have suffered tremendous trauma, grievously wounded and on the brink of death!
If it weren’t for forcibly boosting a breath of Primordial Essence Qi to hang on, he might not have been able to hold on until now.
Especially here, in this dangerous Different Space, the chaotic time and space currents may look beautiful and brilliant, but they are actually extremely dangerous, with each beam capable of piercing through someone at the Lord Realm Peak.
Before reaching the Venerable Realm, the chaotic time and space currents in the Different Space are extremely dangerous for everyone.
"Am I going to die?"
Ye Fan was in a dazed state, murmuring to himself.
He didn’t want to die, but the situation was stronger than he was; the realm and strength of the Ancient Immortal were far beyond his own, leaving no room for luck.
Even after burning his Divine Soul and Divine Power, he was still no match, and in this unfamiliar Different Space, he didn’t even have a chance to escape!
At this moment, he felt no fear; life and death had lost all meaning, but his heart was filled with regret.
Alone in this strange world, for the stability of Earth, to search for his mother’s trace, to resurrect Su Liuli!
For all this, he ran naked through time, risking his life with each opportunity for cultivation.
Yet he has not achieved a single goal and is about to die, leaving only a heart full of regrets.
"I’m not willing!!!"
Ye Fan roared inwardly, attempting to muster his remaining Divine Power, only for his Divine Soul to tremble, nearly fainting.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the time and space currents in the Different Space boiled, and a beam of light penetrated the chaotic currents, shining on Ye Fan.
"Swipe!"
The light flashed, and Elder Xuan’s figure appeared, though his image was blurred, he managed to protect Ye Fan within the light of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, injecting a pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into his body, saving his life!
"Open!!"
Immediately afterward, Elder Xuan shouted, frantically stimulating the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, which emitted terrifying waves, forcibly tearing apart the Different Space, and pushed through the chaotic space currents, returning to the Xuan Realm’s space.
At this moment, under Elder Xuan’s protection, Ye Fan had fallen into a deep coma, a self-protection and repair mechanism of the body.
Elder Xuan’s eyes were dazzling, emitting profound ocean-like light, using nearly all his power to smash through the barrier between Different Space and the original space, enduring the overwhelming tearing force of the space, and brought Ye Fan back to the Trial Arena.
Hmm?
At the same time, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Old Monster Zhou was surprised to find that there was no sign of the Ancient Immortal in the Mid-Stage of the Lord Realm Trial Arena, and the figure seen outside was merely an illusion created using a secret technique.
This discovery caused his heart to skip a beat, and he immediately utilized his authority as a vice-chancellor to move directly from the Mid-Stage of Lord Realm Trial Arena to the Early-Stage of Lord Realm Trial Arena where Ye Fan was located.
He already knew their location before, so he quickly rushed to Ye Fan’s retreat spot seen from outside.
At this moment, he was completely shocked!
Because Ye Fan was no longer in the Trial Arena either; his figure was similarly an illusion created using a secret technique, and the method was identical to the phantom left by the Ancient Immortal.
"Could it be..."
Old Monster Zhou felt an ominous premonition rise in his heart.
He suspected that the Ancient Immortal used some Forbidden Secret Technique to take Ye Fan away, which was a major event involving grievances between the two!
These days, he had already learned about the events in the Yuehua Dynasty and was deeply shocked by Ye Fan’s potential.
If the Ancient Immortal was really narrow-minded and relied on being stronger in realm and power than Ye Fan to try to forcefully kill him, by now, Ye Fan would probably be in grave danger.
Standing still, Old Monster Zhou sensed carefully, and immediately noticed the void’s anomaly, his heart sank.
"I must report this to the chancellor as soon as possible!"
Old Monster Zhou, though very powerful, did not have the ability to directly tear space and enter Different Space.
Even if he could do it, he wouldn’t know where to find Ye Fan; only the chancellor might be able to do it.
Just as he left the Trial Arena, a rift opened in the void, and under Elder Xuan’s escort, Ye Fan rushed out from the Different Space.
Then, Elder Xuan, without pausing for a moment, immediately took Ye Fan and fled from the Trial Arena, flying towards Emperor City in the central region of the Emperor’s Secret Realm.
Now, Elder Xuan was supporting himself with the last bit of Divine Power; the battle with the Gu Family’s Imperial Weapon deep in the Different Space nearly got him swallowed by the Azure Gold Furnace.
Now he could only rush to Emperor City to seek protection from the strong people of the Imperial Academy; otherwise, not only would he be devoured by the Gu Family’s Imperial Weapon Azure Gold Furnace, but Ye Fan would also surely die.
The aura of the Emperor Weapon roamed the entire Emperor’s Secret Realm, sensed by everyone, causing many old teachers of the Imperial Academy to fly into the sky in shock to see what happened.
The Goat Beard old man guarding the Early-Stage Lord Realm Trial Arena was the first to take action, following closely behind Elder Xuan to Emperor City.
"Who dares to act recklessly in Emperor City?"
Old Monster Zhou was the first to sense the aura of an Emperor Weapon. Startled, he shot up into the sky with a swoosh, his entire body exuding an aura comparable to a Saint.
"The Ancient Immortal wants to kill Ye Fan, please protect him!"
Elder Xuan didn’t say much more because he sensed the aura of the Azure Gold Furnace, which was already following the Ancient Immortal.
"Swoosh!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Elder Xuan tossed Ye Fan out of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, where he floated steadily before Old Monster Zhou!
"What?"
Instinctively, Old Monster Zhou caught Ye Fan and immediately noticed his dire condition, as if one foot was already through the Ghost Sect’s gate!
"Whoosh!"
Old Monster Zhou’s expression changed drastically. Without a word, he took out a strengthening Spirit Pill and stuffed it into Ye Fan’s mouth, using Divine Power to help refine it, intent on keeping him alive.
Within the Imperial Academy, there were many teachers skilled in medicine. As long as Ye Fan remained alive, they would surely save him. However, whether it would affect his future cultivation achievements was uncertain.
At this moment, Ye Fan’s body was severely damaged, and his Divine Soul nearly extinguished, a truly critical situation where death could come at any time.
In an instant, the sky above Emperor City was filled with a myriad of cultivators, including outstanding disciples from the Imperial Academy and elders guarding the Secret Realm. Even Li Yu’er and Wen TaDou joined the gathering.
The sky above Emperor City was shadowed by cultivators, all drawn here by the ripple from the Emperor Weapon.
Whoosh!
A flash of azure light in the sky heralded the arrival of the Gu Family’s Emperor Weapon, the Azure Gold Furnace, alongside the Ancient Immortal, hovering over Emperor City in a standoff with Elder Xuan.
The simultaneous appearance of two Emperor Weapons, both clearly oppositional, emitted an overwhelming aura that left many feeling horror. Some of the weaker cultivators couldn’t withstand this pressure and had to retreat further to observe the unfolding situation.
"Ancient Immortal, I require an explanation from you!"
The deputy dean of the Imperial Academy, Old Monster Zhou, coldly questioned the Ancient Immortal, "What is going on? What happened to Ye Fan’s injuries?"
"Explain what? There is no explanation needed, nor any to give!"
The Azure Gold Furnace’s Artifact Spirit appeared, with the ancient furnace suspended overhead, emanating a myriad of azure lights to protect the Ancient Immortal, and spoke domineeringly.
"As the Artifact Spirit of the Ancient Emperor, is speaking this way truly fitting?" Old Monster Zhou entrusted Ye Fan to a highly skilled elder for healing, then addressed the Azure Gold Furnace’s Artifact Spirit.
"What do you understand? This is for the future of the Human Race, considering the grander scheme. The Ancient Emperor once said, ’To achieve great things, one must not be constrained by minor details; anything benefiting all humanity can be done.’ The Azure Gold Furnace was incredibly overbearing.
"Oh? Please, enlighten me on your logic. All I see is you destroying a future elite of the Human Race, without any consideration for the grand scheme. How exactly are you considering the grand scheme?" Old Monster Zhou coldly eyed the Azure Gold Furnace’s Artifact Spirit.
Though his strength couldn’t compare to the Azure Gold Furnace, he remained unafraid, as the Imperial Academy possessed its own heritage, fully capable of suppressing an Emperor Weapon, even the minimally damaged Azure Gold Furnace.
"Kill this child to eliminate the minor demon in the Young Immortal’s heart, enabling the Young Immortal to Prove Dao and become the strongest human Emperor."
The Azure Gold Furnace swept a disdainful glance at Ye Fan, then shifted its gaze to Elder Xuan, continuing, "As for me, I will devour the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, merging the two Emperor Weapons into one, creating an unparalleled super Emperor Weapon. No matter whether facing the Demon Clan or human-shaped creatures in the future, it would be an absolute deterrent. Isn’t this considering the grand scheme for the Human Race?"
"What? It actually wants to devour the Ling Family’s Emperor Weapon?"
"In the years without a Great Emperor, the Ling Family’s Emperor Weapon contributed greatly to quell the dark unrest, suffering severe damage, yet its merit was the greatest. How could it be devoured?"
"The Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor foresaw greatly, left his kind unsealed, fought a lifetime in the dark unrest, and who would have thought his Emperor Weapon would be treated so unfairly."
"During the suppression of the dark unrest, the Azure Gold Furnace hardly participated, so it was the least damaged, and now it wants to devour the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor’s Emperor Weapon, what shamelessness."
The words of the Azure Gold Furnace incited exclamations from the crowd, prompting memories of the last dark unrest, as some present were well-informed about that terrifying turmoil and its suppression.
People were astonished that an Emperor Weapon intended to devour another; it was unprecedented. It was known that each Emperor Weapon was unique, unreplicable.
In such circumstances, the Gu Family’s Emperor Weapon insisted on devouring the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, claiming it would forge a superlative Emperor Weapon surpassing all limits, showcasing its inflated ambition.
Hmm?
In the scene, Gu Xiao was also shocked. He never imagined his family’s Emperor Weapon had such ambitions. If successful, the Gu Family would inevitably become the top clan in the Five Domains, beyond comparison to other Emperor Clans!
Given the current scenario, it’s likely difficult to achieve, for arousing public anger would be troublesome!
Should the Azure Gold Furnace’s Artifact Spirit persist in this course, it might not bring the Gu Family immense prestige, but rather a calamity!
All Emperor Clans with Emperor Weapons would likely never wish for the emergence of a superlative Emperor Weapon formed by merging two, seeing it as a great threat.
"To kill Ye Fan and devour the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, you must first pass through me!"
Old Monster Zhou’s stern shout resonated, and powerful pressure swept across heaven and earth.
