"ARGH!"
Jin Chixiao screamed. His left shoulder wriggled as a brand new arm grew out. However, this arm was different. It was covered in golden scales and was even thicker.
"As expected of a descendant of a primordial beast, the blood of a primordial king flows in his body!" Ye Fan's expression was calm as he stood in the air with the Myriad Slayers Bow in his hands.
After the death of a supreme elder, the other three old men all had solemn expressions on their faces. They stood not far away, accumulating their strength and preparing to kill Jin Chixiao in a single strike.
"It's the legendary eighth level, a person who broke through to the eighth level!"
The eyes of the few of them flashed with coldness. This was truly terrible news. Even Jin Chixiao had a look of resentment, jealousy and unwillingness on his face.
He was only at the third transformation of the dragon transformation yet he actually managed to kill an immortal-foundation expert. This was simply unheard of. Jumping eight levels in one go, this was something rarely seen since ancient times.
After the ninth transformation, one would be able to see immortals with a single leap. Only then would one be able to enter the final secret realm of the human body – immortal-foundation.
Ascending the dragon spine, one would be able to ascend to the 'immortal-foundation'. This was a pure land, a supreme immortal depository that contained boundless potential!
The human body had a total of five great secret realms: the Sea of Reincarnation, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal-Foundation.
There were people who tried to derive the sixth secret realm but to no avail. The final conclusion was that it was impossible to exist unless there were deities or immortals.
Regardless of supreme elders, supreme existences, supreme godkings, or even sages, they all stopped at this secret realm – immortal-foundation.
Immortal-Foundation was the final secret realm of the human body. It was vastly different from the previous four secret realms. There was an intrinsic difference between them.
This secret realm was incomparably difficult to advance. Every step forward was equivalent to stepping into a layer of heavens. The difference in strength between the two was incomparably great.
If one wanted to enter from one layer to another, there would be a heavenly moat separating them. From this, one could very well imagine how difficult it was to cultivate in the immortal-foundation secret realm.
One could say that in this final secret realm, the distance between each layer of heavens was equivalent to a greater secret realm!
For supreme elder-level characters of the various sacred grounds, almost all of them were at the first-level of immortal-foundation. Among them, the most outstanding ones were at the peak of the first-level, only half a step away from entering the second-level.
The Immortal Platform was extremely unique. If it was only on Fourth Heaven, then in terms of strength, it was equivalent to four big mystic realms.
One must know that before this, there were only the Sea of Reincarnation, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, and Dragon Transformation Mystic Realms. As for the final Immortal Foundation Mystic Realm, each level was like a great mystic realm.
If the immortal-foundation secret realms had eight or nine layers of heavens, that would be even more terrifying. It would be equivalent to having eight or nine secret realms!
The final secret realm of the human body — Immortal Foundation. As for how many layers there were, no one knew. Because no one knew how strong the Heavenly Sovereigns were. No one knew what heights they stood at.
Some people said that only by ascending to the Immortal Platform would one be considered to have stepped onto the path of immortality. Only then would one be able to ascend and see exactly how many layers of heavens there were in this secret realm.
Even the Sea of Reincarnation, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, and Dragon Transformation Mystic Realms added together couldn't compare to the disparity in strength of the Immortal Foundation Mystic Realm.
A supreme elder who had just stepped into the first-level of the Immortal Foundation Mystic Realm was killed by Ye Fan. This naturally caused them to be shocked. If they allowed him to continue growing, it would be hard to predict what would happen.
"Bzz!"
The air trembled as the three supreme elders acted at the same time. Their xiantian origin energy condensed into a picture of mountains and rivers that bore down on Qin Wentian.
"Swish!"
Ye Fan retreated far away, he didn't receive the attack head-on. These three were definitely stronger than the supreme elder earlier. When they attacked together, the might they unleashed was terrifying, exceeding the limits of the eight layers.
Every layer of the Immortal Foundation Mystic Realm was equivalent to a greater secret realm. It wasn't like the Sea of Reincarnation, Dao Palace, and Four Extremities, which only had four or five levels. Instead, it was like the Dragon Transformation Mystic Realm, where each layer was equivalent to nine levels.
Naturally, each layer of the Immortal Foundation Mystic Realm couldn't be further divided into nine levels. There were only initial-stage, intermediate-stage, and peak-stage.
The four supreme elders were all at the initial-stage of the first-level of the Immortal Foundation Mystic Realm. But only the supreme elder who died earlier was eight levels higher than Ye Fan, while the other three were nine levels higher.
Ye Fan raised his cultivation base to the limit as all sorts of phenomena manifested. His entire body shone with over ten thousand beams of golden light. He was like a fiendgod, exuding boundless energy fluctuations.
Also, at this moment, he activated the secret word 'All' unceasingly, preparing to raise his combat prowess by ten times, using this to kill his enemies.
This was the first time he activated the secret word 'All' after his strength improved by leaps and bounds, wanting to break the taboo legend.
However, no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't activate the secret word 'All'. If it was usual, he would succeed after tens of times but right now, he had already tried over five hundred times.
"What's going on?" Ye Fan was startled, he didn't understand this situation. He felt that there was a huge problem.
That Ten Thousand Miles Mountain River Diagram was like a bottomless abyss, unfathomable. It flew over and almost trapped him within.
Ye Fan retreated once more, like a flood dragon soaring through the skies. With a single retreat, he retreated a few thousand meters. He hovered in the air and tried again and again, but after activating the secret word over a thousand times, he still failed.
"The secret word 'All'... has failed." Ye Fan was in a daze, he didn't know what was going on.
"Where do you think you are going?!" The three supreme elders roared. Each of them spat out a mouthful of xiantian origin essence qi, infusing it into the Ten Thousand Miles Mountain River Diagram.
This was a real scene of rivers and mountains flying in the air, exuding a majestic aura. The mountain peaks were towering, and there were waterfalls and springs everywhere. It was filled with a sense of power, yet it was incomparably vivid.
Ye Fan retreated again and again, he didn't fight back. He mumbled to himself, "Could it be because I've stepped into the ranks of the legendary eight boundaries?"
As he thought of this, he no longer circulated his combat prowess to the limit. Instead, he lowered it by a lot. In an instant, he successfully activated the secret word 'All', causing his combat prowess to rise by ten times.
"I succeeded, and I just happened to step into the realm of the eight boundaries …" Ye Fan was in a daze.
At this moment, he was truly a bit shocked. Just what kind of secrets did the eight boundaries have? Could it be that they were truly insurmountable?
If anyone knew that Ye Fan was somewhat dissatisfied at this moment, they would definitely sigh in anger and curse the heavens to be struck by lightning!
Since ancient times, there weren't many people who could step into the eight boundaries. Crossing eight minor realms to fight was like a fantasy story. But now, he had become one of the few people who could do so!
For the sake of stepping into the eight boundaries, there were many exceptional geniuses who used all kinds of methods and exhausted their mental and spiritual energy to derive it, yet they still couldn't step into the ranks.
Meanwhile, he had unknowingly succeeded, yet he didn't feel the joy he should have. If it was anyone else, they would have long since shed tears of joy. After all, such a thing was rarely seen throughout the ages.
"What are the legends of the eight boundaries?" Ye Fan muttered to himself. He discovered the insurmountable nature of the eight boundaries. Even the secret word 'All' couldn't be successfully activated.
"Even if he has a saint physique, he might not necessarily be able to step into the eight boundaries. We have to capture him and figure out what is going on!" The three supreme elders secretly transmitted their voices. They exchanged a glance and turned into three streaks of rainbow as they rushed over, activating endless magical power.
"Eight boundaries …" Ye Fan pondered while retreating, many thoughts emerging in his mind.
Soon after, he raised his head. Now wasn't the time to think too much. He had to finish the battle first.
"Jin Chixiao!"
Ye Fan shouted. He couldn't do anything to the three supreme elders, because they had exceeded the range of the eight boundaries and were staring at the inheritor of the northern plains' Huang Jin Family.
At this time, Jin Chixiao followed behind the three supreme elders, not daring to stray half a step too far. His expression was cold as he also looked at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan sneered. He feigned an attack on the three great experts and rushed forward. Then, his figure suddenly disappeared from his original location, leaving no traces behind!
The three supreme elders were startled at the same time, somewhat baffled. However, a cry of surprise came from behind. The void beside Jin Chixiao split open, and Ye Fan stepped out.
"Great Void Technique!" They were all astonished. This was the Eastern Wasteland's Ji Family's secret technique.
Although it could travel through the void, if one was on guard, one could still sense the fluctuations. Moreover, its speed was far inferior to the Travel Word Formula, so Ye Fan rarely used it.
At this time, it was merely a sneak attack. The three supreme elders hadn't anticipated that he would succeed and close in on Jin Chixiao.
At such a close distance, even half-step experts would have to bear a grudge if they encountered him. In close combat, not many could escape his methods.
"Ah …"
Jin Chixiao screamed as cracks appeared all over his body. Like a cicada shedding its carapace, his human body split open and a golden creature rushed out to resist Ye Fan's golden fist.
"Archaic creature!"
Ye Fan was astonished. He had long known that this race had the blood of the Archaic King in their bodies, but he didn't expect that they could transform into another true form.
Jin Chixiao was still in human form, which was the most obvious characteristic of the descendants of the Archaic King. However, his entire body was covered in dense golden scales as if he were cast from gold.
Moreover, his limbs were much thicker, and his bones were creaking unceasingly. His hair had also turned golden like a burning flame.
The flesh and skin that belonged to a human fell off, drenched in blood. The scene was somewhat frightening. His eyes had turned golden, and a single horn grew out from between his brows.
"Bang!"
Jin Chixiao's two golden hands collided with Ye Fan's golden fist, emitting a bone-cracking sound. He let out a miserable cry and borrowed the force to retreat like a stream of light.
"Pfft!"
At the instant Jin Chixiao retreated, his hands turned into mush. After that, the bones in his arms were broken. One could very well imagine how much force he endured.
However, Ye Fan was also shocked. Jin Chixiao, who had transformed into a primordial lifeform, had a fleshly body comparable to a half-step supreme existence. In other words, he was at the peak of the first-level of immortal-foundation.
"The fleshly body of a primordial lifeform is so tyrannical …"
"KILL!"
The three supreme elders rushed over, but their speed simply couldn't catch up. Ye Fan had already transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards Jin Chixiao.
"BOOM!"
At this moment of life and death, Jin Chixiao gritted his teeth and ignited his golden body, exhausting the source energy of his primordial lifeforms. He knew that even if he transformed, he wouldn't be a match for Ye Fan who had already broken through to the Eight Forbidden realm.
The Eight Forbidden was simply too monstrous. He had no chance of victory at all. He could only flee!
"You have already ambushed me three times. It's time to send you on your way." A cold smile appeared on Ye Fan's face as he tossed out the golden battle spear.
"Chi!"
The battle spear was like a golden bolt of lightning, piercing through the clouds and instantly catching up to Jin Chixiao. With a "chi" sound, it pierced into Jin Chixiao's back, causing a large amount of blood to splatter out.
"ARGH!"
Jin Chixiao screamed in misery as he was pierced through by the golden battle spear. He was flung thousands of meters away and nailed into a precipice in front of him. The golden spear trembled as fresh blood flowed from it.
"NO!"
Behind him, the three elders howled in rage. However, they had no way to stop it. The distance between them was too far.
Jin Chixiao was in incomparable pain, yet he had no way to struggle. His body was nailed to the precipice by the battle spear, and the slightest movement caused the pain to seep into his bones.
Ye Fan neared and pulled out the battle spear. With a single hand, he lifted Jin Chixiao up into the air.
"Release me, I am willing to pay any price. I will never dare to ambush you again." Jin Chixiao admitted defeat. He was afraid that Ye Fan's spear would shatter him into pieces.
Not long ago, he had personally witnessed Ye Fan fling or shattering nine mountains. His strength was unrivalled, and it truly suppressed him.
"As long as you spare my life, I am willing to do anything..." He no longer had a trace of arrogance as he begged in a humble voice.
"You are the descendant of an archaic king, so you must be able to recognize the ancient divine text, right?" Ye Fan recalled the immortal tear green-golden book in his body and wanted him to translate it.
Swoosh!
With a flash of brilliance, a rusty green copper plate appeared. It was desolate and ancient, and it attracted one's attention.
"Do you recognize the words on it?"
"I... don't." Jin Chixiao shook his head awkwardly and said, "It has been too long. These words have long been forgotten."
Ye Fan was furious and said, "What use do I have for you? You illiterate!"
