Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 562: Chapter 466: Human King Seal

In the mountain range, corpses lay one after another, their blood staining the grass. There were more than one or two experts at the Eighth Transformation of the Dragon Transformation realm, all killed by Ji Haoyue.

The forest floor was littered with bodies, and a blood mist permeated the air. Even powerful strange beasts dared not approach; this was a place where life vanished.

This battle outcome surprised Ye Fan quite a bit. The Ji Family Divine King Body indeed lived up to its reputation, stronger and more terrifying than a few years ago. However, Ji Haoyue was ultimately a spent force, having expended too much energy from killing so many.

Now, although only a dozen or so people remained, they were all exceedingly difficult to deal with, each possessing mysterious arts or ancient treasures. At this moment, even if the Ji Family Divine King Body fought desperately, he couldn’t hold on.

“All together, kill them!” These people acted in unison. Even though they saw Ye Fan as extraordinary, they would not give up at this moment.

THUD!

Ye Fan immediately unleashed a heavy attack. He spun, his right leg lashing out. The Big Bell descending from the sky let out a loud CLANG as he kicked it, cracking it.

The Bell Wave, like knives, swept out in all directions, carving away thirty feet of earth from the entire area. Even a nearby cliff was reduced to debris, and the peak of another mountain was sliced off.

One could imagine how terrifying this bell was. Its waves were like divine swords, capable of destroying all obstacles. Yet, Ye Fan had shattered it with a single kick, astonishing everyone present.

CRASH!

Shards rained down, flashing with crystalline brilliance. It was clearly divine iron, yet it had been destroyed by Ye Fan’s physical body, unable to withstand a single blow, and scattered into the cliffs, grass, and rubble.

“Kill him first!”

The people present recognized the ominous development. Abandoning Ji Haoyue and his sister, they jointly attacked Ye Fan, concentrating all their power to eliminate him first, giving him no chance.

SPLAT!

However, Ye Fan’s speed was too great. Even as they spoke, he had already charged forward. He locked onto the Big Bell’s owner and slammed his palm down.

The crowd only saw a splash of blood and a shower of bone fragments. The battle was over. The Big Bell was destroyed. Before its owner could even recover, Ye Fan had charged forward using the Walking Character Secret Art and ended his life.

“Kill!” these people shouted, their eyes bloodshot. At this critical juncture, they absolutely did not want their efforts to be in vain.

SWOOSH!

A Divine Light flashed. Someone brandished an Ancient Mirror, unleashing a terrifying beam of light, intending to strike Ye Fan down. Ye Fan sneered, his body flickering back and forth.

However, what shocked everyone was that Ye Fan did not evade; he swung his fist and smashed.

CLANG!

The Divine Light collided with his fist. It didn’t turn him into a pool of bloody pulp as they had imagined. Instead, it emitted the sound of breaking metal and stone.

CLANG! CLANG!

Ye Fan’s body moved like an illusion, charging through the Divine Light and rapidly approaching. Each swing of his fist dispersed the mirror’s light. In almost the blink of an eye, he closed the distance.

“Dodge! Retreat quickly!”

The others roared. By now, everyone could see that Ye Fan was fearless. He didn’t dread the Ancient Mirror’s attacks at all, boldly charging from a distance to close range.

That person’s speed wasn’t slow, but compared to Ye Fan, it was nothing. Others unleashed various ancient treasures to rescue him, but they couldn’t catch up.

CRACK!

With a single punch, Ye Fan nearly pierced through the Ancient Mirror. His body didn’t stop, pouncing forward and simultaneously smashing through the man’s chest, shattering his Divine Soul and killing him.

“Who is this?!”

The people in the rear gasped. This close-combat Holy Technique was chilling. It truly broke through everything; even powerful spiritual treasures were useless, shattering in a single strike.

In the rear, Ji Haoyue, whose divine energy was depleted and was on the verge of collapsing, also had a focused expression. Divine Radiance flickered in his eyes as he stared at Ye Fan’s palm and fingers.

“So strong…” Ji Ziyue’s large eyes curved into crescents, her tense emotions easing. Crystalline tears hung on her jade-white cheeks.

“Who exactly are you? Why are you meddling in other people’s business?!”

This group felt a sense of dread. They were very powerful, and among them were several experts at the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation. Yet, they too had exhausted too much divine energy. They were slightly better off than Ji Haoyue but were in no state for a fierce battle.

This suddenly appearing person fought in close combat as if no one else existed, sending a chill down everyone’s spine and evoking a sense of foreboding.

“Don’t get close! Use spiritual treasures to kill him!”

“Use the Myriad Wounds Bow! Shoot him down!”

These people became ruthless and quickly made arrangements. Several strong individuals stepped forward, jointly holding a verdant hard bow. They all exerted their full strength to pull it into the shape of a full moon.

At that moment, enormous Qi from all directions surged towards them like a tide. This bow was special, as if possessing a soul. It seemed to contain a god within, autonomously absorbing Sun Essence and Moon Essence.

It trembled gently, emitting myriad rays of light that seemed to make the entire mountain range tremble. A Divine Light appeared on the bowstring, coalescing into an arrow fletched with feathers, ready to be shot.

Ye Fan was inwardly shocked. This was definitely a Saint Master Level Heavy Artifact, truly extraordinary! It made him feel an intense threat. He recalled the terrifying, bloody hole on Jia Haoyue; it was most likely caused by this bow.

“Kill!”

“When the Myriad Wounds Bow appears, everything under heaven shall be slain!”

Those people shouted, their voices like thunder. The leaves of countless trees rustled, and a murderous atmosphere filled the air.

Ye Fan had no intention of being their living target. His sleeves flared as he took nine flashing steps, following an unpredictable trajectory to rush forward. He went straight for the bow-wielders, Divine Radiance erupting from his fingertips as he pointed.

WHOOSH!

The Myriad Wounds Bowstring trembled. The Light Arrow shot out like a deity, emitting a terrifying whistling sound that illuminated heaven and earth as it flew straight for Ye Fan’s head.

“Die! This is the consequence of meddling!”

Evidently, they were very confident in this arrow, believing it could severely wound Ye Fan. Cold smiles appeared on their faces as they each unleashed their spiritual treasures, attacking in concert to obliterate his soul.

Ye Fan executed Shifting Form and Position, continuously dodging. However, he found that a wisp of Qi Mechanism had locked onto him. No matter how he tried to escape, that divine gleam from the arrow relentlessly pursued him.

“With the Myriad Wounds Bow, as long as one’s strength is sufficient, anything can be shot down! I don’t believe you can dodge it!” the men drawing the bow sneered, filled with confidence.

However, they didn’t dare to be careless. They unleashed various ancient treasures, not wanting to give Ye Fan the slightest chance, to assist the Myriad Wounds Bow in annihilating their enemy.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Ye Fan’s body became indistinct, like an unreal phantom flickering east and west. He moved with incredible speed, like a divine spirit or a ghost—a feat seemingly impossible for a being of flesh and blood.

“Why is his speed so fast?!”

Everyone was shocked. Even the Light Arrow couldn’t catch up to him, barely trailing behind. Several ancient treasures also struck empty air, failing to harm a single hair on his head.

Ye Fan frowned. If he hadn’t mastered the Walking Character Secret Art, the Light Arrow would have caught him long ago. There was simply no way to shake it off. Continuing like this wasn’t a solution either.

CLANG!

He suddenly stopped. Divine Radiance burst from his fingers, colliding with the Light Arrow. A dazzling brilliance erupted, forcing many to close their eyes.

“Courting death!”

“He dares to clash head-on even with the Myriad Wounds Bow? He doesn’t know life from death!”

Those men all wore indifferent expressions, ready to see Ye Fan’s bones shatter and tendons snap, his hand mangled. However, their sneers quickly froze.

Ye Fan’s fingers were not shattered; they were still perfectly intact. He murmured to himself, “Such powerful strength. I was too careless; it actually made my body bleed.”

From his fingertip, a single, vibrant Blood Bead rolled off. However, he wasn’t fundamentally injured; it was merely a drop of blood.

He was marveling at it, while the others were reeling in shock. The mighty Myriad Wounds Bow had such a meager effect?

“What? It only barely pierced his skin?!”

“The Myriad Wounds Bow can even injure a Peacock King! Is he some Barbarian Ancient King? How did he only bleed a single drop?!”

Those men were all astounded, and then a chill ran down their spines. What an incredibly formidable physique this was!

Not far away, Ji Haoyue was stunned for a moment but didn’t delay. He closed his eyes, and his entire body began to glow as he rapidly healed his injuries, trying to restore his Combat Power.

Ji Ziyue was startled. Her small, sharp teeth shimmered with a crystalline luster as she wiped away her tears. Her large eyes, like black gemstones, darted around incessantly.

“Is he that barbarian?!” In an instant, this group recalled the barbarian from Qi Shi Mansion, the one who had shattered a sovereign’s palm and fingers with his bare hands.

“Never mind that! Unleash all your divine energy, draw it into a Full Moon Divine Bow, and shoot continuously!” the others shouted. Several more men stepped forward, collectively gripping the Myriad Wounds Bow and pulling the bowstring taut together.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

These people were nearly crazed, exhausting all their strength to collectively activate the Myriad Wounds Bow. Its power was far more terrifying than before, like a sun crashing down upon this place, bathing everything in myriad streams of Immortal Light.

One Light Arrow after another shot out, each like a comet streaking across the sky, dazzlingly brilliant. The essence of heaven and earth surged like a tide, furiously flooding into the Myriad Wounds Bow.

Ye Fan also transformed into a streak of light, pushing the Walking Character Secret Art to its absolute limit. He moved under the fearsome barrage of Light Arrows, rapidly closing in. When he couldn’t dodge, he simply swung his fists to smash them.

TWANG! CLANG!

The sound was like a chorus of Immortal Swords, causing Divine Souls to tremble. Terrifying collisions sent sparks flying. The shockwaves shaved tens of feet of earth from the ground. The scene was horrifying.

“This is…” Those men felt a chill. Ye Fan possessed extreme speed and an unparalleled physique, naturally suppressing them. Even the Myriad Wounds Bow struggled to be effective against him.

Ye Fan finally charged close. His right hand transformed, forming a profound Dharma Seal. At this moment, his aura surged dramatically, like a Great Emperor descending upon the world, stirring an impulse in others to kneel in worship.

As the Dharma Seal manifested, Ye Fan’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit climbed to an awesome height. An unrivaled pressure emanated from him, dominating the world, as if the Human King had been born, reigning supreme and peerless.

Human King Seal!

This was the first time Ye Fan had executed it. This Ancient Technique was incredibly profound and unpredictable, possessing the power to devour mountains and rivers. It seemed as if a single wave of his hand could destroy the land and exterminate myriad races.

This was the Human King Seal. Its aura alone made people tremble, compelling them to bow in reverence, as if truly facing the supreme Human King.

BANG!

The Myriad Wounds Bow was sent flying by his strike. The men behind it, without exception, were instantly turned into a bloody paste, their forms and spirits utterly extinguished.

“The long-lost Human King Seal?!” At this moment, the Ji Family Divine King Body finally exclaimed, his voice laced with shock.

“Go!”

The expressions of the others changed drastically. One person shouted, and everyone else rapidly retreated. Among them were powerful cultivators at the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation, but now, with little divine energy remaining, they were incapable of fighting.

Ye Fan descended from the sky, launching a sudden assault. His terrifying physique and speed gave him an absolute advantage within this space sealed by the Great Array, leaving them with no choice.

SPLAT!

Once the Human King Seal was unleashed, it was unstoppable. Another person was blasted into a blood mist, leaving nothing behind. Its power was world-shattering.

Ye Fan maintained the Human King Seal, stepping through the void. Each step he took made the entire world tremble. His imposing might was soul-stirring, as if the sovereign of the human race was on a tour of inspection!

SPLAT! SPLAT!

Every strike he launched caused mountains and rivers to tremble. Regardless of the distance, as long as he targeted an enemy, their form would inevitably shatter.

“Ah…” These people screamed in terror, feeling as if they were not facing a person but confronting a god!

SPLAT!

“AH…” Agonized screams rang out continuously. Anyone hit was inevitably pulverized, without the slightest suspense.

The Human King Seal was a world-shattering Holy Technique that made people shudder. Ye Fan seemed transformed into the king of the human race, walking through the boundless Red Dust, looking down upon all living beings.
