Supreme Cultivation Master

Chapter 708: Chapter 707 Dangers of the Mortal World

At this moment, Ye Fan asked with concern, "If we keep digging like this, could we unearth something malevolent?"

This was a dreadful possibility. If they were to uncover something malevolent, it would be a repeat of the Outer Domain Main God’s fate from years ago, who was slain by monsters.

The Misfortune Pangolin spoke up, "Don’t worry, Boss. To you, we are the malevolent beings. This is my resting ground; there won’t be any issues!"

"Even if we did unearth another malevolent being, it would be one of our own. If it refused to submit, then I would personally kill it!" A murderous intent flashed across his face.

Ye Fan nodded. He’s right. They are the malevolent beings themselves, so what if they find another? What is there to worry about?

And so, he said, "Alright. Carefully excavate this and bring it to the bamboo hut. If I can achieve a breakthrough, I will offer you all guidance in your martial arts!"

"Thank you, Master!" the Misfortune Pangolin exclaimed, overjoyed.

Although Ye Fan had not yet reached the level of a Divine General, his mastery of martial arts was comprehensive and could be applied to the cultivation techniques of any race. If Ye Fan were to guide them, their cultivation would inevitably soar. They might even break through to their peak in one fell swoop. With Ye Fan’s promise, they worked with newfound efficiency.

「Half a month later.」

Ye Fan was bathing in the crystalline spring, absorbing its energy. After so many days of gains, he felt fantastic. He now sensed he was on the verge of a breakthrough and was confident that this time, he would ascend directly to the level of a Divine General, becoming a truly formidable powerhouse.

The bamboo hut was quiet, as he was the only one on the mountain. Huang Ji had returned to the Great Wilderness Space, where she was also preparing for her own breakthrough.

For the Divine Domain, it was an era of vigorous development, with major forces and prodigies rising everywhere.

However, for the Evil Divine Lineage, these were dark times. Ye Fan’s arrival had completely changed the entire landscape. For this reason, they called him a malevolent being, an extraterrestrial evil. The Evil Divine Lineage had put out a contract on him, mobilizing their assassins to hunt him down with all their might. But since Ye Fan was in the Outer Realm, killing him proved to be exceedingly difficult.

Farlan Main God had personally ventured into the Outer Realm, only to encounter an old nemesis from many years ago—the Misfortune Pangolin. His power was now immense, for he had overcome his past period of weakness. He engaged Farlan Main God in a decisive battle, and Farlan Main God ultimately retreated in defeat.

Farlan Main God no longer dared to underestimate Ye Fan. He even began to believe that Ye Fan was the most terrifying person in the Divine Domain, as he could command malevolent beings to fight for him. Taking this further, the Evil Divine Lineage built a case among the higher-ups, branding Ye Fan as the King of the Malevolent. But what could that possibly achieve? Ye Fan was no longer the youth he once was.

「Five years passed in a flash.」

Within those five years, assassins continuously infiltrated the Outer Realm to kill Ye Fan, but he thwarted every attempt. The Evil Divine Lineage came to a grim realization: Ye Fan had already become a force to be reckoned with. Sending more assassins was just serving them up as easy prey. Thus, the Outer Domain, despite being a hotbed of conflict, was also a place of relative peace.

The conflict between the Righteous Divine Lineage and the Evil Divine Lineage intensified daily. Yet, to the great surprise of the Evil Divine Lineage, the power of the Righteous Divine Lineage was growing stronger, even becoming powerful enough to stand toe-to-toe with them. Sensing a crisis, the Evil Divine Lineage sent spies to infiltrate the Righteous Divine Lineage and gather intelligence.

The information they unearthed shocked them. The astonishing growth of the Righteous Divine Lineage was all connected to one person: Ye Fan. He was continuously mining in the Outer Realm, providing a steady supply of Immortal Mines to the Righteous Divine Lineage. With these resources, their growth was inevitable. Because of this, the Evil Divine Lineage knew that to bring an end to this situation, they had to kill one person, and that person was Ye Fan.

Unfortunately for them, Ye Fan remained hidden in the Outer Realm, and they were powerless to reach him. They used to have their own enterprises there, such as mines, but as the conflict grew, Ye Fan destroyed all of them, dealing yet another blow to the Evil Divine Lineage.

Just when they felt completely helpless against Ye Fan, another piece of major news arrived: the barrier to the mortal realm had shattered. This meant they could invade the mortal realm without restraint, as the final obstacle holding them back had crumbled. The Evil Divine Lineage knew the mortal realm held an inexhaustible supply of slave resources, and so they began to plot their invasion.

However, they were met with resistance from both the Righteous Divine Lineage and the Martial Artists of the mortal realm. The mortal realm was no longer what it once was; its power was greater than ever before. This did not stop the Evil Divine Lineage. Using the mortal realm as their point of entry, they officially launched a war against the Righteous Divine Lineage.

「At Red Sand Immortal Mountain.」

"The barrier between the mortal realm and the Divine Domain has been broken," Red Sand Main God announced.

"We must protect the mortal realm," Godslayer said at once. "Our junior brother comes from there, so until he is strong enough, the duty to guard it falls to us!"

Evil Punishment Main God added, "That should be simple. The Evil Divine Lineage’s assault may be cruel, but I doubt they dare risk mutual destruction."

"You’re right. The Martial Artists of the mortal realm are also a significant force," Red Sand Main God declared. "How about this? Tomorrow, I will personally visit the Spirit Suppressing Domain in the mortal realm and form an alliance with them!"

Among the Main Gods present, all but Great Wilderness Main God had extraordinary ties to the mortal realm. This was because the mortal realm had produced two incredible figures: the first was the Ancestor of Tianyuan, and the second was Ye Fan. Therefore, forming an alliance with the mortal realm was a necessity of the times.

The Main Gods nodded in agreement. Red Sand Main God then spoke, a hint of contemplation in his voice, "We’ve had no news of our junior brother for five years. He must be in seclusion right now!"

"That’s right," Evil Punishment Main God chimed in. "When he emerges, he’ll likely be a Divine General. A Divine General under one hundred years old... I’ve never heard of such a thing!"

"In any era, he is a prodigy who defies the heavens!" Great Wilderness Main God exclaimed in admiration.

It could be said that every Main God present was a top-tier genius of the Divine Domain. In their youth, they too were considered first-class talents, but they were simply no match for Ye Fan. At one hundred years old, the strongest among them had only broken through two major realms. They were nowhere close to Ye Fan’s heaven-defying talent, as he never advanced by small increments but always broke through entire major realms at a time. Ye Fan’s power was evident to all.

Great Wilderness Main God then said, "This time, the Evil Gods have mobilized an army a million strong. My friends, we cannot fall behind. My Great Wilderness forces are ready to deploy four hundred thousand troops."

Since joining the Righteous Gods, this was the first time Great Wilderness Main God had committed so heavily, deploying a massive army of four hundred thousand right from the start.

Red Sand Main God said, "While my house is not as large as yours, deploying three hundred thousand troops is no problem!"

"I’ll deploy two hundred thousand," said Evil Punishment Main God.

"And I, one hundred thousand!" Godslayer added in quick succession.

Although they were all Main Gods, in terms of sheer resources and heritage, Great Wilderness Main God and Red Sand Main God were far stronger. The other two simply couldn’t compare.

"That’s enough," Red Sand Main God said. "Why don’t we have Brother Great Wilderness lead this war as our Commander?"

Great Wilderness Main God quickly replied, "What merits or abilities do I possess? It should be you who leads, Brother Red Sand!"

"Stop with the pleasantries! It’s you, Brother Great Wilderness!" Godslayer said impatiently.

"I also believe Brother Great Wilderness has the capability to take on this responsibility," Evil Punishment Main God added.

Great Wilderness Main God finally relented. "Since you all think so highly of me and trust me this much, it would be disrespectful of me to decline."

"Hahaha!" The Main Gods broke into laughter.

In terms of military command, three individuals stood at the pinnacle of the Divine Domain: Great Wilderness Main God, Hu Ben Main God, and Red Sand Main God. They were known as the region’s elite strategists. This time, Red Sand Main God had to focus on alliance matters, and Great Wilderness Main God was contributing the most troops. From every perspective, he was the clear choice to take on the mantle of Commander. Now that he had joined their cause, they had to show him their complete trust.
