“How dare you tread upon our divine peak……” A furious roar erupted from within the Hegemon Body ancestral cave. This was contempt and humiliation — a great foot descending from above, this direct and unabashed stomping approach.

With a hum, a treasure wheel flew out, gleaming with cold light. Simultaneously, all manner of formation inscriptions surfaced throughout this place as the sovereign array awakened, spreading in all directions like a tide.

“Boom!”

The treasure wheel spun. Upon it, six worlds rotated as if in true manifestation, ready to swallow Ye Fan within them, possessing limitless divine power.

“Six Dao worlds — the cycling of the cosmos — suppress!”

From within the Hegemon Body ancestral cave, a voice cried out, shaking the sky in all directions. The treasure wheel turned blood-red like crimson, its aura growing even more terrifying, giving forth the sound of wind and thunder.

Ye Fan’s foot pressed down and collided with the treasure wheel. A resonant clang rang out — the universe thundered. In this expanse of heaven and earth, the sovereign formation inscriptions blazed as though burning.

“Six Dao worlds — sharing the same essence as the Six Dao Reincarnation Fist……” Ye Fan’s expression shifted immediately.

Not because of the treasure wheel’s divine might — but because of the familiar aura within it. It was formed from living flesh and blood — from a fully-completed Sacred Physique!

“You have noticed — good. That is right. It is an unparalleled Sacred Physique from your lineage, its Six Dao Reincarnation Fist’s true meaning turned into a weapon by me!”

The merciless voice rang out from within the Hegemon Body ancestral cave, making this place feel frigid, saturated with killing intent.

“What a fine enmity, what a fine Hegemon Body Ancestral Star. If I do not level you today, I will sever all ties with this place myself!” Ye Fan swore. His voice was deafening, resounding through the high heavens, reverberating into the cosmos.

In distant star systems, supremely powerful beings observed the battle using their heaven-piercing divine eyes and supreme formation inscriptions to capture the scenes unfolding here — their true bodies not daring to draw anywhere close.

“Try it then. We could kill your ancestors — we can kill you too.” Those within the ancestral cave were extraordinarily domineering. That air of “I alone am supreme” — arrogant to the extreme.

The treasure wheel spun again and flew back toward him, aimed directly at Ye Fan’s brow. Six immortal rays burst out — six ancient worlds, connected by sacred blood, displaying the utmost depths of their mystery.

Laws without limit. Divine power without boundary — like an entire sea of stars crashing down.

Ye Fan’s pupils blazed. This weapon was fearsome, yet he clearly heard the sound of a soul weeping within it. That was the divine being within the weapon — a god against his will.

He had been born from the blood and flesh of a fully-completed Sacred Physique, unwilling to be thus, yet enslaved.

Ye Fan’s expression turned even colder. This was unforgivable. Using an ancient ancestor of the Sacred Physique lineage to humiliate him — this kind of confrontation made his furious rage rise like burning flames, scorching the heavens.

“Be freed — I will release you, break open your shackles!”

Ye Fan spoke. His body erupted with immortal light. Battle spirit surged. His combat power rose continuously. His signs and manifestations merged into one — this time it was not one person alone, but a vast and boundless chaos.

Boom!

Ye Fan let out a great roar. Ripples surged into the heavens. Star after star burst apart, reduced to powder. The moons and more had long since fallen and been destroyed. What kind of power was this?

Ye Fan’s manifestations merged into one, indistinct and vast — an immortal emperor within, a divine sea, yin-yang fish — radiating chaotic energy, no longer human in form, only the blurred image of heaven and earth, shrouded in chaotic light, swallowing the treasure wheel within.

He exerted a fierce surge of force. With a cracking sound, countless fractures appeared across the Six Dao treasure wheel. Then it fell apart, shattering in an explosion.

A divine being burst forth, tears of blood on his face. He nodded toward Ye Fan, then burned to cinders in the void — and thus was freed.

Hum!

Ye Fan slapped one palm forward — his fury fully unleashed, having witnessed the sadness of the divine being’s disappearance. That had been the blood and lingering soul of a fully-completed Sacred Physique, reduced to such a fate.

“How dare you!”

Two voices roared from within the ancestral cave, both going all-out to drive divine laws to block him.

Yet without their true bodies emerging, this was entirely useless. Ye Fan’s palm struck the divine peak. Though supreme sovereign formation inscriptions guarded this place, protecting it like an undying iron fortress — nonetheless, this strike still found its mark. Ye Fan struck in fury. The formation inscriptions crumbled. The divine peak cracked with a resonant sound — and the mountain peak flew off into the air, detonating in an explosion.

The mountain had its peak severed. It looked awful.

Every lifeform on the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star trembled, filled with dread. That divine mountain was the spiritual symbol of their people, inviolable since time immemorial — and now someone had struck it apart before their eyes.

It was as if the vault of heaven had cracked and come crashing down. To them, this was an event of the utmost importance — like the coming of a great calamity, an apocalyptic catastrophe.

Within the ancestral cave, the fully-completed Hegemon Body naturally erupted in fury. This was equivalent to being slapped in the face — destroying their ancestral grounds before their eyes was the height of arrogant recklessness.

“Kill!”

Supreme divine laws surged out, transforming into a sky-splitting divine blade, chopping down toward Ye Fan — terrifying beyond measure. This was the extremity of laws, transformed into eternal radiance, destroying all physical form.

Ye Fan opened his mouth and let out a clear, resonant cry. The innate vital essence breathed out transformed into a Dao diagram that blocked those divine laws, grinding them away into the void.

Boom!

Once more he reached out a hand toward the mountain peak, seeking to demolish this place. He called out: “Two little rats hiding underground — let’s see how long you can hide. I’ll tear your burrow apart!”

The sovereigns within the ancestral cave felt their faces go rigid with fury. Who would dare call them little rats? This humiliation was excessive — it stirred the waves of their emotions.

“Today this old man will stake everything. He will emerge to fight you in person!” A powerful divine sense came from within the Hegemon Body ancestral cave. Someone broke open a seal and surged forth like a blazing sun, shooting upward into the sky.

Boom!

The Immortal Origin shattered as he broke his seal and appeared. This was unavoidable — there was no other way. Without their true bodies emerging, there was no way to stop Ye Fan, and this place would be destroyed.

Yet once they stepped out of the Immortal Origin and fought a brutal battle, for those such as they — whose allotted lifespan was nearly exhausted — the danger was truly grave. It would be difficult to safely pass through this final age.

Indeed, after one such battle, death might follow.

“Come. We fight in the starry sky!” The fully-completed Hegemon Body Xuanming declared loudly, soaring upward directly into the starry sky. He feared that a battle at this level of power would reduce this star to cinders.

This place was guarded by many layers of sovereign formation inscriptions, but if the fighting continued, it would inevitably be destroyed — just as those stars had been shattered by Ye Fan’s roar into nonexistence.

Ye Fan also had no wish to bring catastrophe upon all living things. He did not want to destroy every lifeform on this star. He soared into the high heavens, plunging into the cosmos, to do battle with the Hegemon Body Xuanming.

“Young one, you are very powerful — rarely seen in all of history. But this world is not what you think it is. Sometimes, no matter how strong you are, it becomes a tragic song.”

The fully-completed Hegemon Body Xuanming took out a precious vial, removed the stopper, and poured its contents into his mouth. That was fresh red blood — crimson light shooting into the heavens. Yet little remained, and he drank it dry in one gulp.

Ye Fan’s brows snapped upward. The blood’s aura was identical to that of the treasure wheel — it came from the same person, belonging to a fully-completed Sacred Physique.

“Form the array!”

Xuanming let out a great shout. From the top of his skull, seventy-two beams of cold light shot out, embedding into the surrounding star domain — fearsome formation inscriptions of immortal swords, instantly spreading in all directions, flooding this place.

“The Character Secret Array!”

Ye Fan was taken aback. He had suffered terribly against the Nine Great Celestial Venerables using this kind of formation, and it was not unfamiliar to him.

“These are indeed weapons refined from the Character Secret Array, but there are still some differences — certain immortal markings are missing.” Xuanming corrected him, though for all his composure, his confidence was clearly unshakeable.

Unfortunately, this was a forbidden weapon with limited uses, refined through secret methods. After all these years, no one had been able to truly replicate it without flaws.

“If you truly manage to endure this, I acknowledge it!” The fully-completed Hegemon Body Xuanming said without mercy. With a crashing sound, a hundred and eight heavenly blades flew out from his sea of wheels, arraying themselves on the outside to fill in the gaps of the array conjured by the Character Secret Array.

The formation inscriptions that appeared afterward belonged to the supreme formation array of the Hegemon Body lineage. The two combined were absolutely of limitless power — there was no survival within them, only death.

“Is this how you killed the Sacred Physique back then?” Ye Fan asked.

“No. As powerful beings of our caliber, we soar above the heavens in freedom. I defeated him face to face, directly.” The fully-completed Hegemon Body Xuanming replied.

Past battle records — some truly documented, some long since erased from history. Since the other party said this, and given the pride of a sovereign, it was unlikely to be embellished.

“In that case, I will break through you and use the means of the Sacred Physique lineage to slay you!” Ye Fan said coldly.

“Boom!”

This battle erupted. Ye Fan blazed with light across his entire body, burning fiercely. Within this formation he surged forward. The Movement Word Secret brought him to the utmost limit of speed, threading through space itself.

His signs and manifestations burst forth, transforming into an undying heavenly emperor advancing alongside his true body, crushing formation inscriptions and weapon arrays, while above his head a cauldron flew out, trailing down endless primordial mother energy, devastating and annihilating the array.

Ye Fan was like a ferocious dragon unleashed from its cage — unmatched in all directions. Within the great formation he ran rampant. He battled until heaven and earth shattered, the sun and moon went dark, and clusters of stars exploded.

This battle shocked the cosmos. The existences within all the great Forbidden Zones of Life stirred and awakened, for the impact was too immense — a sovereign’s aura and fluctuations swept through the universe.

Yet this time, no sovereign from any Forbidden Zone emerged in a group. They understood that Ye Fan was at full completion — killing him would be agonizingly difficult, and they would only exhaust their own vital energy for nothing.

The true fully-completed Sacred Physique, doing battle against the most powerful sovereign of the ancient Cangtian Hegemon Blood lineage — this was a clash of dragon and tiger, fierce beyond measure.

Xuanming’s power was beyond question. He had real battle records from the past — he had killed his opponent through genuine strength, unlike the previous Hegemon Body Canglang, who had encountered a Sacred Physique already old and in decline.

Alas, the brilliance of the Hegemon Blood lineage seemed to be confined to these few battles. Going further back into antiquity, their clashes with the Sacred Physique were not particularly impressive.

The great battle continued. Ye Fan swept everything before him like a storm, ultimately shattering the forbidden weapon outright, and with the Six Dao Reincarnation Fist struck the Hegemon Body head-on, sending him staggering back, vomiting great mouthfuls of blood.

“How is that?” Ye Fan demanded.

“Not enough — I am not dead yet!” The fully-completed Hegemon Body Xuanming shouted. Blood stained the corners of his mouth. His whole body blazed with light, purple energy rushing to the heavens. Like a purple dragon lashing its tail, he swept Ye Fan flying.

The great battle continued. Ye Fan’s body was also sprayed with blossoms of blood — but nothing serious.

“Hum!”

Suddenly the void shuddered. Another sovereign aura detonated. A purple fist shattered the heavens and earth, appearing without warning and striking toward the back of Ye Fan’s head.

“Kill!”

Above Ye Fan’s head, the primordial mother energy of the All Things Cauldron cascaded down. The treasure cauldron flew over and struck that fist, unleashing a soaring burst of immortal light.

The second fully-completed Hegemon Body, Kunggu, had appeared — the last one. Canglang was dead. The original fourth had perished many tens of thousands of years before, unable to outlast the erosion of time.

“Even the two of you together cannot stop me!” Ye Fan roared.

His signs and manifestations erupted. The Heavenly Emperor Form reappeared, then merged together with his true body, causing his vital spirit to surge to its absolute peak — supreme and immeasurable.

This could no longer be called a pure manifestation. He had evolved it to the ultimate extreme, and it had become a part of his own body, merged and fused with him completely.

“Arrogance!” Kunggu gave a cold shout. In his hand he held a great halberd — truly the image of an unrivaled overlord reborn, valor supreme over all heaven and earth. With one sweep of the halberd, the starry sky was split in two, a great annihilation unleashed.

This was a fierce and brutal battle. Ye Fan stood alone against two fully-completed Hegemon Bodies, fighting until the sun and moon went dark, the river of stars turned to ash. They fought from one region to the next. In their wake, countless shards of shattered stars appeared, vast seas of stars broken and crumbled — the cosmos a scene of ruin that could not be looked upon.

None knew how much time had passed. A miserable roar rang out. One fully-completed Hegemon Body was struck by Ye Fan’s Heavenly Emperor Fist — split into four or five pieces. Even his weapon shattered.

The Hegemon Body roared and reassembled his true body — but Ye Fan pursued. Evading the attack from the other fully-completed Hegemon Body, he again tore him apart with his bare hands, bathing in a shower of Hegemon Body blood!

This scene shocked every onlooker. Even the supreme existences within the Forbidden Zones felt a chill run through them.
