Chapter 844 - 841: Heavenly Dao Baptism

The Infinite Sword Ancestor, with a pale face, said, "The Tao Tribulation is a trial only needed when breaking through to the Great Saint. I never thought his breakthrough could actually invoke the Power of Dao!

"I didn’t expect that he merely broke through the Ancestor Realm’s tribulation, yet managed to invoke the Power of Dao. I firmly believe that the blood residing in his body is what has incited Heaven’s wrath!"

"What’s truly inside of him?"

This is what truly shocked the Infinite Sword Ancestor—to disturb Heaven so severely that Heaven itself felt fear, and invoked the Power of Dao to press down upon Ye Fan.

Although the Infinite Sword Ancestor had never met that ancient Sword Ancestor, he had read records regarding both that Sword Ancestor and the current strongest Sword Ancestor.

During their breakthroughs, although the tribulations were terrifying, they weren’t as terrifying as this; this has already surpassed the Ancestor Realm tribulation.

At this time, several people frowned deeply, unsure if Ye Fan could endure it.

As for Zhou Zhimei, she almost fainted because she was also afraid!

If anything happens to Ye Fan, then her life would lose its meaning.

They all looked towards where Ye Fan was making his breakthrough, seeing Ye Fan having already adjusted his state. Though his expression was grave, beneath it lay a look of understanding, as if saying ’I already knew this was the situation.’

Ye Fan then gazed at the infinite Dao above the sky, and though fear was unavoidable, at this moment, he had to confront his fear.

At this time, a giant palm formed in the sky, completely condensed by the Power of Dao,

and this palm came pressing down towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan harnessed his Heaven-defying Blood as strength, launching an attack against the heavens.

"Boom!"

As this palm fell, it landed on Ye Fan, pushing him down. At this moment, several people were horrified, as they did not know if Ye Fan could bear the power of this strike.

Zhou Zhimei fainted because staying conscious required immense resilience at this moment.

Meanwhile, this palm began to tremble.

"What’s happening?"

Several people were unsure, thinking Ye Fan would either die or be gravely wounded under the pressure of this strike from the Power of Dao, completely unable to resist.

However, at this moment, as a golden light rose, Ye Fan stood up, tossing this palm into the sky.

Though at this time his body was covered in injuries, during the confrontation with this palm, Ye Fan endured, he passed through safely, though there might be injuries.

But they were not significant.

His Heaven-defying Blood was shining brightly, seeming to express feelings of defiance and unwillingness to yield, as if competing with Heaven.

At this time, Ye Fan rose with a roar.

Encircled by golden light, he condensed a giant palm to oppose the Dao’s palm, though he might not be able to hold on for long as his body trembled.

Yet tonight’s breakthrough was destined to be etched into history.

"Break!"

Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, then completely shattered the palm.

Everyone wanted to rush forward to help, but were helpless.

"Even if Heaven wants to oppress me, I will overturn it!"

At this time, Ye Fan’s aura was unbearably strong, yet another Heavenly Blade fell from the sky.

The force of the Heavenly Blade descended, slicing Ye Fan into two.

"No!"

Several people’s hearts were shattered, having never expected that despite reaching this step, Heaven still did not intend to spare Ye Fan. Could it be that Heaven’s power had grown stronger?

Under the illumination of the golden light, Ye Fan emerged like a butterfly breaking free from a cocoon, his hands forming massive fists; as the Heavenly Blade descended, he punched it.

The Heavenly Blade flew backward and shattered loudly.

At this moment, Ye Fan displayed an unparalleled stance.

Facing the Dao, his expression remained unchanged.

Now, the sky condensed a whip with the Dao, starting to lash Ye Fan, yet Ye Fan resisted, and no one knew how long he fought against Heaven.

Only knowing that the sky was brightening, changing from night to day, finally, the Heavenly Dao disappeared.

Everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief as they knew the tribulation was successfully overcome, and a ray of light shone down, as Ye Fan received the baptism of the Heavenly Dao.

After baptism, he fell from the sky.

The Infinite Sword Ancestor rapidly rushed forward, catching the falling Ye Fan.

It was then he discovered the terrifying extent of Ye Fan’s injuries, as they hurried to take him back for healing.

....

Ye Fan abruptly awoke.

"I broke through?"

He questioned internally.

Then, gathering his strength, he found that his soul altar and realm had been elevated, proving he had made a breakthrough.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Breaking through is always a good thing.

"You’re awake!"

Zhou Zhimei joyfully lay on Ye Fan’s chest.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "I’m awake. By the way, how long have I been asleep this time?"

He felt his breakthrough wasn’t like others’, just going through the process. His breakthrough meant using his life!

Zhou Zhimei laughed and said, "You’ve been sleeping for over a month now. During this month, I’ve been bathing you every day!"

Ye Fan immediately made a vigilant gesture, then asked, "You, you didn’t do anything to me, did you?"

Zhou Zhimei spat, and Ye Fan felt helpless.

At this time, Zhou Zhimei said, "What I’ve done, only I know!"

Then the two chatted for a while. It was clear that his breakthrough frightened Zhou Zhimei; others need endless materials for a breakthrough.

But his breakthrough was costly!

The feeling of breathing fresh air was wonderful, as Ye Fan walked in the courtyard.

The senior members of the Infinite Sword Sect, along with his disciples and friends, came to see him. Xu Zun and Zi Dan arrived hand in hand, and at this moment, Zi Dan had discarded all prejudice and truly united with Xu Zun.

Seeing Ye Fan’s realm was at the Second Grade Ancestor Realm, Xu Zun wasn’t sure,

but he knew in his heart he wanted a battle with Ye Fan.

Though he had previously wanted a battle with Ye Fan, he felt it wasn’t fair since he was a grade higher.

But now, being in the same realm, Xu Zun was eager to fight Ye Fan,

because the aura emanating from Ye Fan made him feel an endless battle intent.

"I really want to have a fight with you!"

Xu Zun said to Ye Fan.

But Ye Fan simply smiled and said, "I don’t want to fight!"

"I know that our fight doesn’t represent hatred nor fame, I just wish to see who is stronger in the same realm!"

Xu Zun spoke.

His gaze was so firm, at this moment, he wanted nothing more than to compete with Ye Fan.

"Ugly refusal!"

Ye Fan immediately rejected.

But Xu Zun pleaded, "Please, leader, let me have a fight with you! I want to know, standing in the same realm, who is slightly stronger!"

Xu Zun directly resorted to pleading, he had no choice but to beg right now!

Ye Fan felt helpless too, not expecting Xu Zun to be so battle-hungry, similar to the past Sword Obsession.

Therefore, he said, "Alright, I’ll indulge you!"

"But let’s not make it real, just go to the point!"

Xu Zun gladly agreed.

This aroused anger in both Zi Dan and Zhou Zhimei. After all, Ye Fan had just awoken not many days ago, yet he desired to fight so soon.

However, they both supported the battle.

Not only did they support, even the Infinite Sword Ancestor, Sword Obsession, and others supported—they only wanted to verify their conjectures.

Because the commotion created by Ye Fan’s breakthrough was massive, many disciples were still unable to recover from the shock, so they wanted to know, in the same realm, what were Ye Fan’s chances of victory.

This duel is deemed very fair, although Ye Fan is heaven-defying, Xu Zun has been in this realm for several years.

Such a battle, in their view, was completely an evenly matched duel, so inside their hearts, they yearned for this battle, wanting to see just how monstrous Ye Fan was.
