Chapter 2057: Chapter 1920: Immortal Elixir

"What immortal elixir?"

Everyone was bewildered. Could it be this dead wolf was hallucinating?

One must know, immortal elixirs are priceless. Even in the Ancient Times, only a few stalks could be found; a single immortal elixir can let a Great Emperor whose lifespan has run dry be reborn, let alone its effects on others.

In the Ancient Times, every Great Emperor was accompanied by a stalk of immortal elixir.

Moreover, the immortal elixir’s aura is rich and heady, its fragrance drifting for ten thousand miles.

If there really was an immortal elixir ahead, the entire region of space should be permeated with a drunken, intoxicating scent—so why hadn’t they smelled anything?

Led by the Bai Yan wolf, the group advanced more than ten li, and finally caught a faint, delicate fragrance that seeped into the heart.

There really is an immortal elixir?

Ye Fan was shocked. This Bai Yan wolf’s nose truly wasn’t for show; even separated by more than ten li it could smell the immortal elixir’s aura.

"Swoosh!"

Ye Fan seemed to pierce through space itself; with a few flashes he had moved several li forward, and finally saw dense Array Patterns ahead, shrouding all directions, sealing every aura entirely within the great formation.

Inside the great formation, Ba Cangtian was bare-chested, his bronze skin like cast metal, each muscle like a coiled dragon, brimming with explosive strength.

In front of them, a half-meter tall little tree radiated holy light, facing off against Ba Cangtian and the others.

It was an extremely wondrous little tree. Though only half a meter tall, it was gnarled and ancient, yet grand and majestic.

The strangest thing was that every leaf on this little tree was different: some resembled a Holy Sword, shaking out strands of Sword Radiance that pierced through the Void.

Some were like a Divine Bell, packed densely with Tao Patterns; with the slightest tremor it was like the tolling of great bells and mighty drums, deafening to the ears, sound waves flowing like water, destroying all that blocked them.

Others were like a cauldron, three legs and two ears, adorned with sun, moon, stars, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, roiling forth a faint wisp of Chaotic Energy that annihilated all things.

Ba Cangtian and the others were exerting themselves to the utmost, wanting to subdue this immortal elixir, yet their efforts had little effect—the immortal elixir was strongly resistant.

A mere immortal elixir, yet comparable to a Supreme Holy Master at the Peak of Venerable Realm; its Combat Power was terrifying. Although they had used a Forbidden Array to seal the ten directions and prevent the immortal elixir from escaping, it was still extremely hard to subdue.

Not long after entering this layer of the Emperor Palace World, they discovered this immortal elixir.

At that time, this immortal elixir seemed to have only just awakened Spiritual Wisdom not long before, still somewhat muddleheaded, and had actually taken the initiative to come closer.

In that instant, Ba Cangtian’s heartbeat sped up. With a single glance he recognized that this little tree was precisely the immortal elixir spoken of in legend.

Between Heaven and Earth, there are only so many immortal elixirs in total, each famed through endless ages, once having followed supreme Great Emperors.

Yet this immortal elixir was not among the legends; in other words, this immortal elixir was very likely an ownerless thing.

Or perhaps it had once followed the master of the Emperor Palace, but at this moment had just undergone Nirvana Rebirth, its mind pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Ba Cangtian harbored ambitions of Proving Dao, and naturally wanted to subdue an immortal elixir to accompany him at all times; not only could it save his life at critical moments, it would also aid his Cultivation and Enlightenment—its value beyond measure.

To prevent the immortal elixir from fleeing, Ba Cangtian decided on the spot to lay down a Forbidden Array, trapping the immortal elixir within, to slowly subdue it.

This was also to keep others from sensing the immortal elixir’s aura and coming to vie for it.

Yet for all his calculating, he had not accounted for the Bai Yan wolf’s heaven-defying nose, able to smell the immortal elixir’s aura even through the Forbidden Array.

"Hum!"

Ba Cangtian unleashed a swathe of sharp Divine Radiance, enveloping the little tree, wanting to force the immortal elixir to submit with an extremely domineering stance.

However, the little tree was likewise very unyielding, preferring death to submission; its leaves trembled, sending forth an equally sharp barrage of Sword Radiance and Sound waves in resistance.

"Submit to me, and I will grant you eternal life!"

Ba Cangtian shook his consciousness, conveying his will to the little tree with a stance that dominated the heavens.

"Dream on!"

The little tree was exceedingly forthright, rejecting him without hesitation.

"Then don’t blame me. Even if you are an immortal elixir, if you cannot be used by me, there is only Destruction."

Ba Cangtian flew into a shame-fueled rage, his offensive growing even more ferocious, forcing the little tree to desperately shake its trunk, erupting with even stronger Sword Radiance and Sound waves to counter.

"Who’s there?"

Just then, one of Ba Cangtian’s followers suddenly discovered that there was an extra person inside the Forbidden Array, and his heart jolted.

"Who is it?"

Ba Cangtian was also startled in his heart; his offensive slowed, and he turned to look.

"Ye Fan, it’s you?"

Seeing that the one who had silently passed through the Forbidden Array and appeared not far away was actually Ye Fan, Ba Cangtian’s heart instantly blazed with fury.

There was no need to ask—Ye Fan appearing within the Forbidden Array at this moment was certainly to vie with him for the immortal elixir.

Right now, the shock in Ye Fan’s heart was not much less than his.

Because...

He had discovered that, among the leaves, this little tree had actually borne fruit.

He was extremely familiar with that kind of fruit.

One could say all Earth people were familiar with it, especially Huaxia people.

Because...

The fruit was shaped like an infant, nestled among the leaves, radiating dazzling light.

Ginsengfruit!

This half-meter tall little tree was actually the legendary Ginseng Fruit Tree!

"Primordial human fruit?"

The Bai Yan wolf was the second to pass through the Forbidden Array. The instant he saw the little tree, green light shot several zhang out of his eyes, and his drool poured forth like a waterfall.

"Mine!"

Bai Yan wolf moved unbelievably fast, turning into a streak of white light as he chased after the little tree, the Purple Gold Bell above his head spilling a curtain of violet radiance that sealed all things.

However, the little tree was not affected in the slightest, its speed incomparably fast; for a time, Bai Yan wolf actually could not catch up.

"We were the ones who discovered the Immortal Elixir first!" Ba Cangtian’s followers shouted loudly.

They had exhausted themselves to set up a Forbidden Array and trap the Immortal Elixir; just as they were about to subdue it, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf suddenly barged in halfway to cut them off and steal the prize. Of course they couldn’t accept that.

"The Immortal Elixir has no master; let the virtuous claim it!"

At this moment, the Golden Divine Dragon, the Peacock, Yue Haoyu, the Great Demon and the others also followed the passage left by Bai Yan wolf into the Forbidden Array, confronting Ba Cangtian’s followers.

"If you want the Immortal Elixir, you’ll have to step over our corpses."

Ba Cangtian’s followers were extremely fierce, not hesitating in the slightest. They directly made their move and engaged the Great Demon and the others in a great battle.

"Just you lot, and you think you can block us? Overestimating yourselves." The Peacock spoke coldly, directly sacrificing his Five-Colored Divine Light and instantly sweeping the leading man flying.

"Leave one for me!"

The Golden Divine Dragon hefted his Golden Double Sticks, dragon eyes blazing with ferocity like some Little Scoundrel, and directly swung an ambush blow. One stick knocked a man sprawled on the ground, eyes rolled white, limp and unconscious.

Bai Yan wolf shook the Purple Gold Bell, sweeping out a field of lightning that struck a man charred black all over, his hands twitching uncontrollably as if cramping.

Ba Cangtian’s followers were by no means weak, but it was their misfortune to run into Bai Yan wolf and the rebellious Dragon—those two big and little delinquents—plus that super cool guy, the Peacock.

With a lineup like this, even Ye Fan felt it took effort to block them, let alone these people; they simply couldn’t withstand it and were swept away like rotten wood.

"Ye, others might fear you, but I, Ba Cangtian, just don’t. If you want the Immortal Elixir, defeat me first."

Seeing Ye Fan walking toward the little tree, Ba Cangtian was enraged, his entire body erupting with razor-sharp War Intent, like a Heavenly Piercing Divine Spear. He threw a punch at Ye Fan, Punch Ray rending the heavens.

"The Immortal Elixir is something I’m determined to obtain!"

Ye Fan did not retreat in the slightest. He raised his fist and charged forward, like a Heavenly Emperor descending to the dust, swallowing thousands of miles, his might shaking the Eight Desolations.

"Boom!"

Their fists collided like two universes exploding, like the end of the world; Chaotic Energy surged out, and the entire heaven and earth collapsed.

The Great Demon and the others remained calm and unhurried, without the slightest worry; they had immense confidence in Ye Fan.

No matter how strong Ba Cangtian was, he was absolutely not Ye Fan’s match; the final victor would inevitably be Ye Fan.

Meanwhile, Ba Cangtian’s followers were utterly miserable, being savagely abused in turn by Bai Yan wolf, the rebellious Dragon, and the Peacock, beaten until they had no fight left in them.

"Boom!"

Just then, Baling and Jiang Sheng led the people of Jiang Sheng Star charging in as well. They immediately noticed the Ginseng Fruit Tree not far away, their eyes lighting up. Taking advantage of Ba Cangtian pinning down Ye Fan, they quickly rushed over.

"How dare you!"

The Great Demon shouted sharply, and together with Yu chanzi, Li Yu’er, and Wen TaDou, blocked Mu Qingyi and the others.

Baling and Jiang Sheng, however, were intercepted by Yue Haoyu and Yue Chuan, and the four of them clashed in a fierce battle.

In an instant, a great battle erupted, shattering the sky and cracking the earth. Even the Forbidden Array was shaken, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

"Swish!"

Bai Yan wolf unfurled eighteen great banners, replacing the Forbidden Array and sealing all directions; not even a mosquito could hope to fly out.

In terms of Combat Power, Bai Yan wolf perhaps wasn’t much, but when it came to mastery over Array Patterns, none present could surpass him.

"Boom!"

The firmament collapsed, Stars fell, and Ye Fan’s and Ba Cangtian’s battle was like the end of the world. If not for the Great Emperor’s imprint within the Emperor Palace World, it would likely have been blasted through long ago.

Ba Cangtian was worthy of being called a Young Supreme; he battled Ye Fan for hundreds of exchanges, even beating out Chaotic Energy, yet they still remained evenly matched.

"Boom!"

With the last blow, the two brushed past each other and then both withdrew.

Ye Fan stood with his back to Ba Cangtian, hands clasped behind him, white robes fluttering, like a Banished Immortal, spotless from head to toe.

"Pff!"

Ba Cangtian spat a mouthful of fresh blood, the color draining from his face. A section of his chest caved in, and with a "bang" his clothes exploded into shreds.

"I refuse to accept this!" Ba Cangtian roared at the sky, "I won’t lose—I’m the strongest!"

"Again!"

Ye Fan roared, launching the attack first. The Life and Death Reincarnation Fist alternated out, the Tai Chi Divine Form manifesting behind him, slowly rotating, Life and Death Qi surging together.

"War! War! War!"

Ba Cangtian bellowed, like a war overlord reborn, looking down on all. His long black hair flew loose as he charged forward to kill, Domineering energy unparalleled.

"Boom!"

Their fists met, erupting with a blinding radiance as a wave of Destruction instantly shrouded the two of them.

With this punch, Ye Fan shattered the Three Realms and Six Paths, pierced through the Thirty-Three Heavens. Various Tao Marks and Law Divine Chains coiled around his golden fist like True Dragons, as if bearing the will of heaven and earth.

Ba Cangtian also pushed his aura to the extreme, carrying an invincible will that advanced relentlessly and annihilated all obstacles, and viciously crashed his fist into Ye Fan’s.

"Pff!"

Ba Cangtian’s Iron Fist instantly exploded, Ye Fan’s punch turning it into Blood Mud. His entire right arm blew apart, blood spurting as white broken bones shot in all directions.

"Ah..."

Ye Fan charged past, dragging a cloud of blood mist with him; half of Ba Cangtian’s body was blown to pieces.

Yet not a drop of blood stained Ye Fan’s clothes. His golden fist glowed faintly, incomparably solid.

"I don’t believe it..." Ba Cangtian muttered, soul lost, his mouth repeating those four words over and over, clearly unable to accept this outcome.
