Supreme Cultivation Master

At that moment, Ye Fan said, "It doesn’t matter. Once this war ends, I’m going to revise the Evil Ghost Divine Skill, the Righteous Divine Technique, and the Demon Clan Technique! I will forge them into the most optimal techniques for cultivation!"

Demon Sky Monkey was stunned. He had never expected Ye Fan to be so monstrous. Tampering with cultivation techniques was, in principle, forbidden. A single technique was an all-encompassing system; any arbitrary change, no matter how slight, could lead to disaster. Yet, Ye Fan dared to do so.

Truly remarkable!

Since ancient times, Martial Artists who created new cultivation techniques were considered grandmasters. However, one who could successfully alter an existing technique was performing a truly heaven-defying feat, one that surpassed creation itself. While any skilled Martial Artist could create a new technique, modifying one was the true test of genius. In Demon Sky Monkey’s eyes, Ye Fan was nothing less than a monster.

Ye Fan continued, "From the looks of it, their vanguard is likely on the Greedy Wolf Star! Our job is to throw them into chaos and disrupt their formation!"

"An excellent idea!" Demon Sky Monkey praised.

With that, the two of them sped toward the Greedy Wolf Star, where a bloody battle was about to unfold.

「Meanwhile, on the Gun God’s side」

When the scouts handed the map to the Gun God, he asked, "Are these all the routes you found?" The Gun God was clearly a vigilant man, his eyes filled with distrust.

The Reconnaissance God Monarch replied, "Commander, I vaguely recall us exploring many routes, but none were this clear!"

"Then how did you get this map?" the Gun God pressed.

The Reconnaissance God Monarch explained, "This map was indeed drawn by my own hand. However, as I was drawing it, my mind felt shrouded in chaos. Because of that, I can’t be certain that many of these routes were actually drawn by me." He then vividly described everything he had experienced.

The Gun God immediately tore the map to shreds. "If you’re not sure, then there’s a problem!"

The others dared not say a word.

The Gun God continued, "You’ve most likely encountered a formidable enemy. For someone to be able to alter your souls and memories, it proves he is no ordinary person!"

"An ancient tribe comes to mind," he mused. The crowd looked at him curiously.

"To be able to tamper with one’s soul without them even realizing it... I believe only one clan is capable of such a feat: the Ancient Soul Clan!"

Instantly, everyone drew a sharp breath. Although the Netherworld Clan was growing stronger, they were still considered a third-rate power without a Great Saint among them. Compared to a supreme hegemon like the Ancient Soul Clan, they were leagues behind.

The Gun God then asserted, "Everyone, do not panic. This person knows we are coming, yet he hasn’t attacked. This can only mean his strength is not yet sufficient to face us directly! Don’t be fooled by this Barbaric Land. The fact that the Evil You Clan could escape to this place, unbeknownst to the Holy Clan, proves this world holds its own mysteries. Perhaps we’ll even make some unexpected gains this time!"

"Yes!" the group hurriedly nodded.

The Gun God commanded, "While the Netherworld Clan may not be a superpower in the Great Thousand World, in this place, we can crush anyone who stands in our way. Increase our speed! Forward march!"

"Yes!" the army cried, quickening their pace.

The Gun God closed his eyes to rest. He had originally thought he would be unchallenged in this world, destined only to steamroll everything in his path. Now, however, his spirits were high. It seemed he had finally found a worthy opponent.

「At this moment, Ye Fan and Demon Sky Monkey arrived at the Greedy Wolf Star」

Sure enough, a large army was stationed there, with more than ten Void Battleships and troops numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

"Attack!" Ye Fan commanded. He instantly transformed into an Ancient Divine Dragon and charged toward the massive army, intent on crushing them.

Wherever the Divine Dragon Illusion passed, it left only ruins in its wake, an unstoppable force of devastation.

Demon Sky Monkey had already blocked off the entire sky. The army, accustomed to always being on the offensive, never imagined they would be the ones getting ambushed. This was something they had never expected. They had no idea that the inhabitants of this world could be so ferocious, ferocious to the absolute extreme.

The two Divine Monarchs leading the army, along with a dozen Main God Experts, united to resist Ye Fan and Demon Sky Monkey, but it was a futile effort. Since Ye Fan had already broken through to the Subcestor realm, their so-called resistance was pointless. In the blink of an eye, all of the experts were slain, their momentum completely broken.

Ye Fan said to Demon Sky Monkey, "A flawless ambush. I want them to know that the Divine Domain isn’t a juicy piece of meat for the taking. It’s a bone that will break their teeth!"

However, Demon Sky Monkey’s expression suddenly turned grim.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Fan asked.

Demon Sky Monkey pointed. "My Lord, look! What is that?"

Ye Fan turned and saw a colossal spear. The long spear spanned tens of thousands of miles across the river of stars, plummeting from the Void with irresistible pressure! The force was so immense that anyone caught within its range would be utterly powerless to resist.

Ye Fan shoved Demon Sky Monkey aside. He then faced the long spear hurtling toward him and roared, "Come! Let me witness the might of the Gun God!"

The long spear bore down with crushing force. Ye Fan summoned the Yuanhong Sword, unleashing the True Self Sword to meet the attack. It was a clash of sword versus spear. Both the Sword Qi and the power radiating from the spear were filled with an infinite sharpness, threatening to shred and obliterate everything in their path.

Standing in the distance, Demon Sky Monkey could only mutter one word: "Sharp."

Indeed. Even though he wasn’t in the fray, the very air was saturated with a razor-sharp intent that felt like it was slicing his skin. Even the soldiers of the Netherworld Clan who had survived the initial assault perished in droves under the sheer pressure of these two colliding forces.

Ye Fan felt the spear’s presence constricting his very soul, as if it would pierce his heart. He immediately changed his movement technique, channeling more power into the Yuanhong Sword. The Sword of Slaughter flared with even greater sharpness before it collided with the long spear, erupting in a massive explosion.

Ye Fan shouted, "Gun God, this world is not nearly as weak as you imagine! So what if your true body were here? You cannot kill me, and you will never conquer this world!"

Abruptly, the light from the explosion vanished. The tear in the sky sealed itself shut, and the shimmering afterimage of the spear that had streaked across the void was gone.

Ye Fan said to Demon Sky Monkey, "The Gun God is truly extraordinary. To be able to fight me to a standstill from tens of thousands of miles away... he’s terrifying!"

This was no idle boast. At any given cultivation realm, Ye Fan was invincible among his peers, capable of instantly killing any opponent. Yet after this long-distance clash with the Gun God, he realized he could not instantly defeat him.

The Gun God was truly powerful. It was no wonder that even the Evil You Ancestor at his peak had to give way to him. This was a being capable of slaying a Divine Dragon.

In Ye Fan’s estimation, the Gun God had already surpassed the Quasi-Emperor Peak and might even be a powerhouse who had broken through to the Great Emperor realm. His brow furrowed in thought. He wondered what his chances would be in a fight to the death against the Gun God’s true form.

Demon Sky Monkey added, "The Gun God’s power is immense. I saw that long spear slash down from beyond the nine heavens with boundless sharpness! It was like a stroke from a divine artist, absolutely suffocating. When the Gun God fought our Evil You Clan back then, he killed an untold number of our powerhouses! Even our progenitor, the Evil You Ancestor, had to avoid a direct confrontation. My Lord, the fact that you could fight him to a draw is a testament to your own great strength."

Demon Sky Monkey was speaking from the heart. After all, the precedent was there for all to see. At the end of the Ancient Times, the Divine Dragon—once the invincible number one expert of the Divine Domain—had also fallen to the Gun God’s long spear. The Divine Dragon had not been weak; even as he died, he managed to severely wound the Gun God, buying the Divine Domain over ten thousand years of peace.

At this, Ye Fan said, "Based on that exchange, even though it was a draw, his attack traveled tens of thousands of miles to fight my actual body. So, in truth, I lost by half a move."

Ye Fan was not the type to make excuses or hide his shortcomings. To him, a win was a win, and a loss was a loss. And so, without any reservation, he spoke his mind.
