Shrouding the Heavens

Ji Ren was extremely terrifying, a single step took him to the sky and another caused the entire sky to tremble. He seemed old and decrepit but contained a terrifying strength, his leg grew larger till it reached several metres in size before stomping down.

“Bang!”

Ye Fan’s heart was shocked as he swiftly dodged to the side, that enormous foot stomped onto the ground causing fissures to spread out in all directions as the entire area was split asunder.

“You can’t escape!”

Ji Ren gently pressed down with his palm, it had grown immensely and was like a grinding stone that was being pressed down.

“You damned old fogey……” Ye Fan grit his teeth as he rushed in another direction.

“Boom!”

That large hand caused the surrounding air to violently tremble, like a rumbling thunderstorm as Ye Fan was almost sent flying away.

One could imagine how fearsome this old supervisor was, a single palm pressing down actually had such a frightening momentum.

“I will proper bury your corpse after your death.”

“You damned baldie, you should prepare for your own burial.” Ye Fan continued to rush into the distance, his speed could not be considered slow but he realised he simply could not escape this region.

There was a mysterious energy that seemed to be circulating, the ground was flashing with lights that obstructed his moments, even though he had attempted to rush to the sky, he was still restricted. This area seemed like a cage that had been sealed off with no way to escape!

“You won’t be able to escape.” Ji Ren said coldly: “I will make it quick, every year I will offer some paper money and wine to you.”

His fingers were like knives as he chopped down, there were actually flames rushing forward like a fiery divine blade, flashing with brilliance as it shrouded the sky, blazing in all its glory. Ye Fan swiftly rushed forward, barely dodging the fiery blade.

The blazing heat immediately caused the area which it struck to burn, in the blink of an eye, the area had been burnt as all the vegetation in that area was burnt to ash, the red soil was burnt and actually became glistening porcelain.

“Returning kindness with animosity!” Ye Fan grit his teeth before hatefully shouting: “Hypocritical old bitch, don’t let me escape or you’ll get it from me in future!”

“It’s useless to say anything more, you can only blame yourself for learning the Great Void Technique, even many of our elite disciples do not have the chance to cultivate it, much less an outsider like yourself.”

Ji Ren swept his large hand as his five fingers actually emitted a purplish blue light, the sound of rumbling thunder could be heard as it grabbed towards Ye Fan.

“Crack!”

Several streaks of purple lightning began to swirl around his fingers, like dragons that were soaring through the air causing it to twist. Ye Fan’s heart trembled as he immediately executed the Great Void Technique, turning into a wisp of black smoke as he hid.

“Crack!”

The purple lightning was extraordinary, the first strike caused a bottomless hole the size of a bucket to appear with streams of green smoke emitted.

“You’ve really learnt the Great Void Technique, there’s no way you can be left alive!” Ji Ren’s eyes shone with a cold light as streaks of lightning continued to shoot forth, piercing through the sky.

“Dong!”

A loud rumbling could be heard as a copper plaque appeared within Ye Fan’s head, it violently trembled as all the lightning was absorbed within, this was precisely the Great Lei Yin Temple plaque.

It was difficult to use this damaged plaque to attack but Ye Fan had experimented with it and realised that it could actually absorb lightning and sound attacks!

“This isn’t a solution!” Ye Fan kept the bronze plaque and felt that he was being too reactive, Ji Ren’s cultivation was unfathomable and there was no way for him to continue resisting like this.

Ji Ren continued to press down while saying indifferently: “Young man, why must you continue to struggle? This will only cause you pain. I will give you a quick death, don’t be stubborn.”

Although his words were calm, they were filled with killing intent as he spat a demonic mist from his mouth. The sky seemed to be filled with hissing and rumbling noises as the mist rushed towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was stunned, this old man was simply too powerful, he could spit out mist that rumbled like thunder, vast like an ocean as it pressed towards him. Rushing towards the sky, Ye Fan shouted: “What have you done? Why is the entire space sealed?”

“I have a precious treasure, Great Heaven’s Net, it is able to encompass an area and prevent anyone from escaping, there is simply no chance for you to break it.” Ji Ren’s expression was calm without any emotion.

“How did you find me?” Ye Fan continued to question.

“Miss Ziyue secretly gave you a jade pendant, we’ve already had it in our calculations, did you think that removing all imprints would prevent us from chasing you? Since the beginning I have been following you, however, your speed was simply too fast and I’ve only managed to catch up to you today.”

“Good, good, good. I finally know what you people are like. Ji Hui you old bitch and Ji Ren you dog servant……”

Ji Ren continued to attack while speaking coldly: “It’s getting late, you should get on your way!”

“Wengggg”

The sky trembled as a large black hand appeared, black clouds roiled around it giving off a frightening aura, this was the Void Palm Destruction of the Ji Family.

Ji Ren was a supervisor in name and seemed to be a decrepit old man, however, he actually had this secret technique, it was clear that his position within the family was not small.

The Void Palm Destruction was extremely overbearing, its might was phenomenal as the sky was shrouded while it moved directly towards Ye Fan!

He wanted to dodge but it was simply too late, the secret technique recorded within the Ancient Void Scripture was simply too terrifying, the black hand covered the sky, completely sealing him on the ground.

“In your next life, reincarnate into an ordinary family, don’t make such a big mess of this…..” The voice of Ji Ren was not loud but it was extremely heartless and cold as it resounded through the sky.

“Chi!”

Ye Fan sent the bronze eight trigrams mirror out, emitting a blazing light as it shined at the large hand in the sky. At the same time, he also retrieved the heaven’s parasol to defend himself. Even so, the light from the bronze eight trigrams mirror could not prevent the descent of the Void Palm Destruction.

“Pa!”

The large black hand continued to press down before smashing into the heaven’s parasol, causing cracking noises to ring out.

Fissures began to appear on the parasol as Ye Fan’s body was sent flying away. Ji Ren did not speak as he sent another Void Palm Destruction slapping towards Ye Fan.

The large hand shrouded by black clouds released fluctuations that would cause one’s heart to tremble, it was like a mountain that was pressing down.

“Pa!”

The heaven’s parasol was a powerful artifact but it was simply unable to defend against the Void Palm Destruction, being hit a second time, it instantly began to disintegrate.

The heaven’s parasol had actually been shattered!

Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he flew several tens of metres away, his heart shook, the force behind this fist was simply too immense, even the heaven’s parasol had been easily shattered, how was he to defend himself?

“Wengggg”

The air trembled as the giant black hand slapped down once again, the sun in the sky was shrouded as an enormous shadow pressed down.

“Crack! Crack!”

The Giant Hand had not reached but the ground below Ye Fan’s feet was already beginning to fissure, one could imagine the frightening amount of pressure he was facing. Ye Fan sent the bronze eight trigrams mirror flying out as it swiftly grew bigger, like a shield above his head.

“Dong!”

A piercing metallic ringing could be heard like that of a god striking on metal, causing one’s entire body to tremble along with it. The bronze eight trigrams mirror also began to crack, it seemed like it would not hold on for much longer!

Ye Fan felt his heart ache, this was the weapon of an elder of the Jiang Family, it could be considered a priceless treasure. Although it had been damaged in the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Land, it could still be considered an extremely powerful treasure but it was simply unable to fully withstand the might of the Void Palm Destruction.

“Dong!”

Another piercing metallic noise rang out as the bronze eight trigrams mirror thoroughly cracked before exploding in mid air.

Ye Fan had almost been completed smashed into the ground as a trace of blood could be seen on his mouth, looking to the sky he shouted: “You damned old fogey!”

Two priceless treasures had been destroyed, only the jade bottle was left and the outcome would be the same.

“Pa!”

Ji Ren sent a large hand sweeping forth, immediately sending Ye Fan flying through the sky. Although it was not the Void Palm Destruction, the force behind it was also great.

If Ye Fan did not have a sacred body, the bones within his body would have already shattered, even so, he was sent tumbling tens of metres away.

“Bang!”

The large hand swept forward once again, slapping towards Ye Fan. He simply did not have the time to dodge as he was almost ground into dust, it took a long time before he finally managed to stand back up.

Ji Ren hunched his back as he looked down without any expression, his voice was indifferent: “Compared to the Ji Family, your means are simply worthless. Why bother to struggle? Killing you is as easy as killing a chicken or taming a dog, there really isn’t any difference.”

“You damned old fogey, you’re merely the dog of the Ji Family, don’t have such a haughty attitude, even if that old bitch Ji Hui were to come, she wouldn’t be able to compare either.”

The face of Ji Ren did not have any anger as he calmly continued: “Just like dust or an ant, you should not have had any contact with the Ji Family, it’s a pity that your life isn’t good enough, the Great Void Technique isn’t something that someone like you should come into contact with.” Ji Ren’s attitude was disdainful, as though he were looking at a bug and speaking without any emotions.

“You old servant……”

At this moment, Ji Ren descended to the ground as he moved closer: “Before killing you, I need to understand some things, this will require me to search your soul.”

With his real combat strength, Ye Fan simply did not stand a chance, the difference in their realms was too great, Ye Fan did not even know how deep the old man’s cultivation ran. Ye Fan was waiting for the chance to utilise his final killing move! As Ji Ren neared, he felt that the opportunity had finally come!

At this moment, a golden lake like that of a blazing sun appeared within the centre of Ye Fan’s brow.

Tides rumbled as divine lights exploded forth, a streak of dazzling light rushed forth, forming a golden blade before chopping down!

This was an extremely powerful divine sense attack, after eating the golden sacred fruit, Ye Fan’s divine sense had reached an inconceivable level, it was extremely condensed and could actually take form!

This divine sense attack was something which he had studied for over a year, gradually trialing before arriving at this powerful killing move, an attack designed to attack a person’s divine sense!

“Aaaaahhhh!” Ji Ren screamed as he hugged his head, falling to the ground. The powerful divine sense attack was super effective!

Before this, the face of Ji Ren was cold without any emotion. Currently, his face was scrunched up as he continually howled in pain.

The bones within Ye Fan’s body began to tremble as his physical body glistened, divine energy surged as his golden fist smashed heavily forward.

“Bang!”

This fist landed on the lower region of the old supervisor’s face with a loud ‘crack’ as the chine bone was snapped.

“You old servant, weren’t you all high and mighty earlier? Let me send you to the eighteenth level of hell!”

Ji Ren had been sent flying by the fist into the air, Ye Fan crouched down before leaping, throwing his leg like a steel whip.

“Pa!”

Ye Fan’s right leg smashed heavily into Ji Ren’s chest, instantly smashing him back down to the ground.

Even with Ji Ren’s impeccable cultivation, his physical body was simply unable to compare to a sacred body as his bones immediately shattered.

“You old servant, didn’t you view me as an ant earlier?” Ye Fan continued to kick, Ji Ren’s shoulder bones shattered as he was sent flying again. Ye Fan did not wait for him to land as he took seven steps forward, closing the gap before kicking again.

“Bang!”

His leg struck Ji Ren again, forcing him back down to the ground again.

“Is an ancient aristocratic family all that great? Sooner or later, I’ll pay the Ji Family a visit, I’d really like to see how impressive this Ji Family sacred ground of yours really is! That old bitch better live a good long life!”

“Bang!”

Ye Fan kicked Ji Ren who was rolling on the ground back into the air.
