The ancient purple-copper ship was dark and rusty. It was dilapidated and old. Forty-three divine sources laid in the center of the ship, all of them exhausted of their divine essence.
"Are all the archaic kings dead?" Ye Fan's heart was in turmoil. Every archaic king had boundless magical power. They could summon the wind and rain and were omnipotent. A single one of their weapons could shock the world.
Without reaching the ancient saint realm, it was impossible to compete with the archaic kings. If there were dozens of ancient weapons sealed in these divine sources, just the thought of it was frightening.
Ye Fan observed carefully. The creatures in the divine sources were all different. Some had dragon heads, some had nine eyes, some were like divine phoenixes, and some were no different from humans …
They all had a terrifying aura. Although they were motionless and their life essence had dried up, the aura of a dead king was still incomparably terrifying.
In addition, although their postures were different, they had one thing in common, and that was that they were all dried up like firewood. They were all skin and bones, and their essence energy had been exhausted.
Moreover, they were all incomparably old. Their skin was wrinkled beyond recognition, as if they were old ghosts that had lived for several lifetimes. It was extremely awe-inspiring.
"Not only did each king exhaust two or three source blocks, but they also exhausted themselves to the point where they were like lamps without oil. What did they experience?"
Ye Fan didn't understand. Even though they were archaic kings that had lived for tens or even millions of years, they shouldn't have exhausted all of their divine source blocks.
Could it be that these ancient kings lived in an even more ancient era? If this was the case, it really made one's hair stand on end. Just how ancient was the origin of life?
However, Ye Fan also thought of another possibility. Traveling through the star domain was extremely dangerous. There were some mysterious ancient stars that could deprive one of their energy.
Perhaps these ancient kings had experienced some terrifying places and exhausted all of their divine source blocks. Then, without divine essence, they naturally died of old age.
There were so many ancient kings and an entire ship full of experts. Something must have happened during the most glorious period of the archaic races and they all died together.
"Yes, traveling through the universe will consume energy. I have some divine source blocks on me. Once I exhaust them, I will follow in their footsteps." Ye Fan warned.
In the desolate universe, there was nothing but darkness and coldness. One couldn't even breathe. If one didn't have Origin Blocks, they could only exhaust their own essence energy. Sooner or later, they would be exhausted.
In the universe, one could only capture essence energy when they were close to a few large stars. But most of the time, they were in the darkness and could only waste it.
In this world, only those who had reached the Saint Realm could forcibly extract the Source Energy of the Universe from the deathly still sky and use it for themselves. This was also the fundamental reason why only ancient Saints could roam the Star Field.
Ordinary people couldn't even sense the free energy in the universe, let alone use it. It was impossible.
"The Divine Source on me can support me for many years. I don't have to worry about it for now."
Ye Fan stared at these God Source Blocks and thought for a long time. He then wanted to try to break one of them and cut out the Ancient Kings' corpses and their weapons.
Any one of the treasures on these people was a heaven-defying item. Who knew how they could be gathered together? There were so many of them!
Kacha!
A light sound rang out. He cut open a crack in the divine essence shell of an ancient creature with an ancestral dragon head and a human body.
Not all Archaic Kings evolved to be exactly the same as humans. Some were conservative and would leave behind their own unique characteristics.
This corpse was especially heavy. It was difficult for the Divine Source Block to move it. This was an Archaic King. Even a single fingernail was heavier than a mountain.
The Divine Source Block had just cracked open a crack, but a horrifying aura flowed out. Even though the ancestral dragon head was withered, it was still horrifying and made one's body feel like it was about to split apart.
Ye Fan mainly wanted a pair of dragon horns. If he could get them, he could definitely refine them into a pair of divine objects. It seemed like they hadn't decayed under the passage of time. Because of the oppressive aura, it was as if a blade had slashed over.
Kacha!
Suddenly, another cracking sound rang out. Ye Fan was stunned. He didn't continue to cut open the source, so why did this sound come out on its own?
Suddenly, he felt his blood run cold. Could it be that something wanted to come out on its own?
At this moment, his entire body went cold. There were so many Archaic Kings, could it be that none of them had died?!
When he thought of this possibility, Ye Fan's scalp felt goosebumps. He felt a wave of numbness. Traveling through the starry sky was terrifying as expected.
Kacha!
This time, he heard it very clearly. The sound came from the front, and it wasn't that far away. He immediately stood up and pressed forward with the black gourd in hand. At this point, it was better to make the first move.
In the depths of this ancient cabin, there was a treasured palace. There were three Divine Source Blocks inside, and they stood on the ancient palace's high platform like divine statues.
One of them was cracked open, and sealed inside was an existence like an evil god. Its hair was scarlet like blood, and it actually had a thousand arms. It sat cross-legged inside like a thousand-armed Buddha!
Of course, its appearance was far from that of a Buddhist figure. Its skin was black, and apart from its scarlet hair, every inch of its skin was flickering with black light.
"Is this also a powerful Archaic King?"
At first glance, Ye Fan's heart sank. The three in this ancient palace were very strange, and they seemed to be a bit more powerful!
Meanwhile, this existence that was like a hand holding demonic god actually released a strand of aura that automatically shattered the Divine Source Block. There was nothing more terrifying than this.
Weng!
A strange sound rang through the air. It was like the cry of a phoenix, but also like a Kun Peng flapping its wings. The fluctuations were terrifying. A strand of divine will made its way towards Ye Fan's head to cut him open.
Dang!
All life source energy shook violently, as if it was struck by an iron hammer. It almost flew out into the cosmos, bringing Ye Fan with it as it rushed out over a hundred zhang, smashing into the copper cabin.
If it wasn't for the fact that this cauldron was made of special materials and was a holy object exclusive to great ancient emperors, it would have long shattered together with Ye Fan if it was any other weapon.
There was a living creature!
An Archaic King Ancestor actually still had life and didn't die from old age. How terrifying was this?!
Hong!
Ye Fan didn't care about the consequences. Even if a great emperor came, he still had to take action. He activated the black gourd, and endless flames overflowed into the heavens, burning fiercely.
The nine-colored mist threads melted the ancient cabin, turning it into a purple liquid. The divine patterns within were all stripped out, burning everything.
It had to be said that the ninth level of the fire domain's holy flames were incomparably shocking. The heat was beyond compare, turning that demonic god's Divine Source Shell into ashes and directly burning it.
With a muffled groan, this Thousand Hand Ancient King's entire body began to burn. After all, he was already a lamp that had run out of oil. Even if he had tremendous divine might, he still couldn't display it.
He was immediately sealed in flames, suffering a type of fire tribulation!
However, this was still an inconceivable existence. Not even time was able to clear him away. After experiencing endless years, he still had a single breath left in this world.
He opened his mouth and inhaled, unexpectedly absorbing all of the divine flames. His burning body was extinguished, releasing a wave of incomparably terrifying might.
"What?!" Ye Fan was horrified. The nine-colored mist threads could burn everything in this world, yet it was ineffective against an ancient king whose body was shriveled and on the verge of death.
Just how terrifying of an existence was this? With the black gourd in hand, Ye Fan could burn almost all of his enemies in this world, but it was useless against an ancient creature that was almost completely dead.
What was even more frightening was that this Thousand Hand Ancient King opened his eyes and began to refine the divine might of the flames. He wanted to use it for his own use to replenish his dried up body.
He didn't know how many years he had been floating in this boundless universe. His divine source was exhausted, and his body was extremely old. He could no longer obtain traveling energy, and only at such a close distance could he capture it.
At the same time, his primordial spirit that was about to be destroyed forcefully split out a strand of divine will to attack Ye Fan once again. He wanted to crush him and seize everything he had.
"Break for me!"
Shouted Ye Fan. He turned the Myriad Energy Cauldron upside down and revealed the aura of the ancient saint. It was incomparably frightening, and the entire ancient palace hall was about to collapse.
The Thousand Hand Ancient King was startled. Two beams of light shot out from his eyes that were so dim that they were about to turn into dust. He quickly retracted his divine will, sensing the danger.
In the past, he was unrivalled under the heavens, but now, he was about to die. He couldn't even display a ten-thousandth of his power, so there was no way he could fight against an ancient saint.
"Treasure, please turn around. Gourd Dao Transformation Sword!"
At this time, Ye Fan shouted loudly. The black gourd moved abnormally, swallowing and spitting out a concentrated ancient universe. Countless stars condensed, and the star domain flickered. It turned into an immortal sword and flew out.
"Pu!"
The immortal sword immediately beheaded the archaic king and rushed past. It was just too fast.
Ye Fan didn't expect that after the last time, he would succeed a second time with a casual shout. The black gourd's divine power was unstoppable.
"Rumble!"
The archaic king's head fell to the ground, but after a turn, it flew up again and reattached itself. There was no blood on the wound.
Ye Fan's heart trembled. This ancient king was as if he had passed away in meditation and couldn't move at all, yet he still had this kind of divine might. It was truly horrifying.
If it was in the past, he would definitely be unrivalled under the heavens!
Ye Fan decisively retreated. This black gourd could only be used once, and summoning it a second time was completely useless. He used the might of an ancient saint to retreat.
The archaic king stared fixedly at the black gourd. It was unclear what kind of expression he had. He slowly moved his withered body and followed out step by step.
Before leaving, Ye Fan gritted his teeth. He lifted up the dragon-headed ancient creature in the outer hall and prepared to smash it at any time.
Just like that, one of them retreated while the other approached. After exiting the ancient violet copper ship, Ye Fan leapt up and returned to the nine dragons pulling the coffin.
The dying ancient king seemed incomparably shocked. He stood on the ancient ship and stared fixedly at the nine dragon corpses and bronze coffin. However, in the end, he stopped and didn't give chase.
A divine power shot out from Ye Fan's palm and struck the violet copper warship. The two immediately separated and then staggered.
It gradually disappeared into the distance. In the pitch-black cosmos, only a withered figure could be seen standing on the ancient ship. He was still gazing in this direction.
"Ziwei Ancient Star …"
Ye Fan muttered to himself. The ancient ship had originally sailed towards the Ziwei Ancient Star Region. Now, after separating, it corrected its direction and moved forward again.
He had gained a lot from boarding the ancient ship. He had obtained a crescent moon pendant that contained the secrets of extreme yin. He had also brought back a divine source shell with an archaic king sealed within it. Although it was a corpse, its entire body was filled with treasures.
"Where am I going?" The ancient violet copper ship had gone far away. In this boundless cosmos, he didn't know where his path was.
He only knew that he wasn't very far from the Big Dipper Star Region. He knew nothing else.
Of course, this "not very far" was relative to the boundless cosmos. If he were to fly back by himself, it might take him a lifetime.
Ye Fan corrected his direction several times, but he found that it would change back after a short while. The nine dragons pulling the coffin were not floating aimlessly. Although they were slow, they were always moving in the same direction.
He didn't try to change his direction again. He then sat cross-legged on the bronze coffin and began his seclusion.
Time passed quickly. For a whole three years, he didn't move at all. During this period, the heavenly tribulation descended. There were lightning flashes and thunder rolls. It was incomparably terrifying in the deathly silent cosmos.
And most of the time, he was in a state of forgetfulness. He didn't know what year it was, didn't know where he was, and had almost forgotten himself.
This time, Ye Fan slept for half a year. He had no perception of the outside world. It was no different from dying in meditation.
Suddenly, he woke up from his state of death seclusion. He felt a violent collision and was sent flying.
"What, an ancient star!?"
Ye Fan was shocked to find that the nine dragons pulling the coffin had fallen into an ancient star. Just now, he was sent flying because he came into contact with the ground.
