Chapter 1032: Chapter 913: Battle of Wits and Bravery
The top-level War God-level mutant beast didn’t expect Ye Fan to launch a sudden attack, catching it off guard. However, its reaction was extremely fast, instantly raising its protective Gang Qi to the maximum. At the same time, the black horn shot out a ray aiming for Ye Fan’s fist.
“Boom…”
One was ready to strike, while the other was hastily defending. The outcome was decisively clear. Ye Fan’s Punch Ray directly shattered the beam and struck the black horn with a loud explosion.
At the same time, the Xuanye Flying Blade whistled towards the top-level War God-level mutant beast, which maximized its protective Qi Ray and closed its eyes, using its brow bone to withstand Ye Fan’s flying blade.
“Clang!”
A crisp sound resonated as the Xuanye Flying Blade pierced the tough scale armor of the top-level War God-level mutant beast, sparking a string of sparks without penetrating, causing no substantial harm to the mutant beast.
“Damn it…”
The top-level War God-level mutant beast was almost furious, unexpectedly being tricked by a human cultivator it looked down upon. Even though it wasn’t injured, the powerful impact still caused it considerable pain.
Under normal circumstances, with Ye Fan’s strength, a surprise attack could have heavily injured this beast. Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe to even exhibit half of his usual combat power.
“Human, you’ve completely enraged me. I’m going to tear you to pieces and grind your bones!”
The top-level War God-level mutant beast was completely furious. Since gaining consciousness, it had never suffered such a loss, successfully ambushed by a mere human cultivator.
“Huff!”
“Huff!”
“Huff!”
In a frenzy, the top-level War God-level mutant beast launched a mad counterattack with beast techniques emerging one after another, sending claw lights piercing through the void with terrifying Qi Rays rushing towards Ye Fan.
“Zoom!”
Seeing the dire situation, Ye Fan quickly retracted the flying knife with a thought and once again disappeared into the virtual space inside the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown to seek refuge.
“I refuse to believe it can’t break through!!”
The frenzied attacks of the top-level War God-level mutant beast all hit the air, unable to strike Ye Fan, causing its anger to surge as it launched another offensive on the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The beast claws formed from concentrated Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi fiercely struck against the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, emitting crisp sounds but still unable to shake it even a bit.
Even the ray from its horn couldn’t do anything to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown!
After a stormy barrage of attacks, the top-level War God-level mutant beast was left utterly exhausted, its Gang Qi significantly depleted, yet it still couldn’t cause any damage to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.
This left the top-level War God-level mutant beast feeling disheartened!
It really didn’t expect the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown to be so solid, having exhausted every means yet unable to harm it in the slightest.
Not being able to breach the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, harming the Ye Fan inside was out of the question. It even imagined Ye Fan was definitely watching it from inside, feeling schadenfreude.
In reality, Ye Fan wasn’t feeling schadenfreude, nor did he have the time. Once inside the virtual space, he immediately immersed himself in cultivation and healing.
He had to seize every moment to heal, striving to return to his peak state in a short time, otherwise everything would be futile.
After consecutive attacks, yet unable to shake the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown even a bit, the top-level War God-level mutant beast finally felt defeated, knowing that breaking through the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown’s defense was as impossible as an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was indeed too solid, its sturdiness leaving it with a deep sense of powerlessness!
Sigh!
Utterly disheartened, the top-level War God-level mutant beast had no choice but to pick up the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown again and continue pursuing in the direction Lv Zhan and others had retreated.
On one hand, there were other mutant beasts it needed to lead over there. More importantly, in its current state, consumed by rage, it needed an outlet for its anger, and Lv Zhan and the others were undoubtedly the best targets!
…
Inside the virtual space, Ye Fan sat in meditation healing his wounds, his body at the center of a huge Gang Qi vortex, with all 360 acupoints each containing a tiny Qi vortex.
Although the earlier battle had severely depleted his Gang Qi, fortunately, Ye Fan’s Gang Qi was inherently thick and abundant, far exceeding other cultivators. Coupled with the astonishing recovery and self-healing abilities of the Pure Yang Body, his injuries were healing rapidly.
Hmm?
Just as he was about to fully recover, Ye Fan sensed that the mutant beast had taken the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown away, realizing that the top-level War God-level mutant beast was definitely pursuing Lv Zhan and the others again.
To prevent the top-level War God-level mutant beast from chasing Lv Zhan, Ye Fan had no choice but to reappear.
“Whoosh!”
With a thought, Ye Fan, clad in the Heavenly Demon Armor, suddenly reappeared in front of the top-level War God-level mutant beast.
Before he could take action, he heard the mutant beast sneering: “You despicable human, you’ve indeed appeared again, prepare to die!”
Swoosh!
As the words fell, it swung a beast claw!
The top-level War God-level mutant beast clawed at Ye Fan.
“Bang——”
A muffled sound echoed, and Ye Fan felt as if he had been violently struck by a massive mountain, sending him flying. A sweetness rose in his throat, and once again he spat out a mouthful of blood, worsening his injuries further, truly embodying ‘a leaking house meets continuous rain, a broken ship hits headwinds’!
“Swoosh!”
Despite the intense pain, Ye Fan fought to stay conscious, pushing his speed to the limit, and once again took refuge in the virtual space of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.
Only then did he realize that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was his lifeline!
Because if he hadn’t reacted quickly and escaped to the virtual space at the fastest speed, he might have met his end in the blink of an eye.
Until now, no matter how perilous a situation, Ye Fan had never worried about his own safety. Even facing powerful beings like Jiang Yurong and Xu Changsheng, he never thought he couldn’t overcome them.
However——
Today, he faced an unprecedented crisis. This top-tier War God-level mutant beast was unbelievably powerful, so much so that even top-level War God realm experts like Shijia Mo Ye would have to exert a great deal of effort to defeat it.
Once inside the virtual space of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, Ye Fan hurriedly sat down cross-legged to heal his injuries, which were more severe than last time.
The intense sense of danger brought enormous pressure upon Ye Fan.
The pressure wasn’t only about how to kill the top-level War God mutant beast in front of him but also about the overall situation—the mutant beasts were growing increasingly strong, while the cultivation speed of human cultivators wasn’t accelerating correspondingly. If things continued like this, human extinction was merely a matter of time!
Under pressure, Ye Fan quickly calmed himself, swiftly checked his injuries, and discovered that his recently healed internal organs had cracked open again. If it weren’t for the rapid healing brought by Pure Yang Qi, he would already be dead.
Such severe injuries would be fatal for any other cultivator, possibly leading to immediate death.
“Huff… Huff…”
Ye Fan panted heavily and once again activated Pure Yang Qi for healing.
Meanwhile.
“Damn human, if you have the ability, keep hiding in there! I want to see how long you can hide?!”
The top-tier War God-level mutant beast was astonished. Its surprise attack aimed to kill Ye Fan on the spot, but it hadn’t anticipated Ye Fan’s remarkable resistance, allowing him to escape once more right under its nose.
Although it hadn’t succeeded in killing Ye Fan, it was no longer as furious as before.
Because it knew Ye Fan was worried about the human cultivators hunted by mutant beasts.
As long as it continued to chase them relentlessly, Ye Fan would undoubtedly reappear, and then it could deliver a fatal blow!
Understanding this, the top-tier War God-level mutant beast no longer wasted energy attacking the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown. Instead, it grabbed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown once more and set off heading north in pursuit.
Inside the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, Ye Fan naturally sensed the actions of the top-tier War God-level mutant beast. Helplessly, he realized he currently had no ability to stop it—reappearing would only lead to frenzied attacks from the top-tier War God-level mutant beast.
He knew that, given the current situation, he couldn’t withstand even a single blow from the opponent; he could only temporarily endure.
Time was tight. Although the time flow within the virtual space of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown didn’t sync with the outside world, there wasn’t much time left for him to cultivate.
Ye Fan had to fight against time, almost desperately operating Pure Yang Qi for healing while absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Under Ye Fan’s control, Pure Yang Qi continuously surged throughout his body, merging into his flesh and blood, rapidly healing his injuries. The cracks in his internal organs visibly healed.
The self-healing ability of Pure Yang Qi defied imagination, granting him something akin to an immortal body. As long as he wasn’t instantly killed and had a breath remaining, he could quickly recover.
As his injuries recovered, Ye Fan took out the Heaven and Earth Source Liquid given by Chu Xuanji and frantically absorbed the Heaven and Earth Essence within!
At this moment, Ye Fan made a seemingly reckless decision: he would utilize this limited time not only to heal his injuries but also to break through to the high-level War God realm.
Because he understood very well that if he succeeded in breaking through before the mutant beast caught up with Lv Zhan and others, he would possess the power to fight against the top-level War God-level mutant beast, maybe even surpass it and kill it!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t stand a chance against the top-tier War God-level mutant beast, nor could he prevent it from attacking Lv Zhan and the others!
“Whoosh——”
With time pressing, Ye Fan had no choice but to desperately cultivate, pushing his Mystical Skill to the extreme. The dense Heaven and Earth Essence emanated from the Heaven and Earth Source Liquid, entering his body through his pores.
Following a mysterious route within his body, these Heaven and Earth Essence traveled through his meridians and integrated into his Gang Qi, becoming his own Qi.
As time ticked away bit by bit, Ye Fan’s injuries fully healed, reaching peak condition. Now, even if he headed out to fight, as long as the damn mutant beast didn’t catch him off guard, Ye Fan felt confident in meeting the opponent head-on for a blow.
Yet, it was still not enough. Ye Fan deeply understood the vast gap between himself and the top-tier War God-level mutant beast—two entire realms apart, a disparity neither martial arts, cultivation technique, nor magic artifact could bridge.
If the difference was only one realm, Ye Fan could confidently surpass levels and defeat the mutant beast with his own hands. But with two realms apart, it was simply impossible.
“I must succeed before this beast catches up with Liu Li and the others!”
Ye Fan gritted his teeth and fully pushed for the high-level War God realm breakthrough.
