Chapter 2117 - 2113: Demonization

Facing Ye Fan’s concession, Li Yunhuo was utterly unmoved. He closed his eyes and said, "The apocalypse of the Pan Gu Secret Realm has arrived, Ye Fan. What you say to me is of no use. Instead, think of how you will survive. In the face of the celestial calamity, if you don’t leave this lower universe, you will perish here!"

Ye Fan said, "It seems you still won’t tell me what I want to know."

Li Yunhuo’s smile was extremely bleak, to the point that Ye Fan didn’t know how to respond to Li Yunhuo.

At this moment, another white light came toward Heavenly Peak Mountain, but with a mere wave of his hand, Ye Fan completely dispersed that white light.

Li Yunhuo finally opened his eyes, looked at Ye Fan, and said, "Your cultivation has indeed reached the point where you can challenge Pan Gu and Fu Xi, but this is not your strongest state."

"This is the secret I want to know," said Ye Fan. "How can I fully unleash the power hidden within me?"

"There’s no chance anymore. Do you think your cultivation can be stimulated at will? The power repressed in you is both the trickery of the ancient cultivators and what your heart truly desires... Actually, your inner wish is to stand with the forces of the celestial calamity," Li Yunhuo continued to incite.

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "I guess I shouldn’t have released you, listening to your nonsense makes me very disappointed!"

After speaking, Ye Fan waved his hand again, and Li Yunhuo was imprisoned again in the enclosed space. Ye Fan felt that out of sight meant peace of mind.

Lan Jing asked, "Ye Fan, what should we do now? I feel like the Pan Gu Secret Realm can’t be saved, and Earth should be very dangerous now too. Don’t you want to go back and take a look?"

Ye Fan, looking worried, said, "If I can’t solve the issue with my inner cultivation, it will be the same no matter where I go. I can only passively face the disaster brought by the celestial calamity, unable to proactively dissolve it... Lan Jing, what way do you think I should use to avert the disaster?"

"I don’t know, I don’t understand anything, I’d rather listen to you!" Lan Jing said.

Ye Fan walked over and stood in front of the divine weapon. It looked ordinary, but faintly, there was an intense black mist hovering over it, as if Ye Fan lifting this weapon would completely demonize him.

"In the face of the celestial calamity, do I need to sacrifice myself, pick up this weapon, and then aim it at those ordinary citizens first? Only then can I achieve redemption?" Ye Fan looked at the weapon, as if it had a strong summons trying to make him pick it up.

But Ye Fan was not moved by it. After a long time, Ye Fan seemed to understand something. He continued to look at Lan Jing, and Lan Jing was also looking at him.

"Lan Jing, you help me decide whether I should pick up this weapon," Ye Fan said.

Lan Jing appeared very confused and said, "I feel this weapon seems dangerous, but you... if you decide, then I will support your choice, Ye Fan, I’ll follow you completely!"

Ye Fan walked over, first embracing Lan Jing, feeling the trust and support of the jade beauty in his arms, but he was still internally hesitant. In the face of the celestial calamity, he tried countless methods, attempting to awaken the six small crystals within him, but to no avail. The biggest opportunity now was indeed this divine weapon in front of him, but he also understood that once he picked up this weapon, he might become demonized and then become a henchman of the celestial calamity forces, executing slaughter on humanity.

"I feel I can’t control this divine weapon; its existence is not only a threat to me but also a threat to humanity... but now, indeed, I have no other choice!"

Ye Fan walked over, and when his hand reached for the weapon, it already revealed a hideous black mist as if already having a powerful summon to Ye Fan.

Finally, Ye Fan’s hand fell upon the weapon, and in an instant, Ye Fan’s eyes, originally with a dark red glow, turned black, and the black mist continued to hover around his body.

"Ye Fan, how are you?" Lan Jing was very concerned about Ye Fan. When she noticed something amiss with Ye Fan, she reached out to grab Ye Fan’s arm, but was instantly repelled by Ye Fan’s power.

Ye Fan held the weapon, slowly lifted it as if it were a spear, and immediately, a thick black mist surrounded him, nearly enveloping him.

Lan Jing fell to the ground, still concerned as she looked at Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, can you hear what I’m saying?"

Ye Fan didn’t answer her. At this time, all of Ye Fan’s energy seemed focused on the weapon, and the surrounding world began to gradually change.

When Ye Fan lowered the weapon, it pierced directly into the soil, separating the earth, and it appeared as though Heavenly Peak Mountain would collapse, showing signs of impending disaster.

"Hahaha..." A faint, manic laughter echoed. Lan Jing felt this voice was not unfamiliar—it was the laugh previously emitted by Li Yunhuo that Ye Fan had encountered, but Li Yunhuo didn’t appear, only the laughter emitted from an enclosed space. Lan Jing found this laughter very terrifying.

"Do you know what you’re doing?" Li Yunhuo’s voice came through. "Ye Fan, you tried so hard, and in the end? You know your power is inadequate. No one can refuse in the face of such enormous power!"

At this time, it seemed Ye Fan couldn’t hear Li Yunhuo’s words. Ye Fan’s focus was all on the divine weapon, looking at it with a hollow gaze, while the white light around Ye Fan continued to increase.

Lan Jing remained persistent, not wanting Ye Fan to be in danger. She struggled to get up from the ground, once again charging towards Ye Fan, but before she got close, she was repelled by the powerful force surrounding Ye Fan’s body, falling to the ground again, unable to get up.

Ye Fan seemed disturbed by Lan Jing’s actions, turning his head to look at the fallen Lan Jing, his gaze seemingly filled with anger. As the collapse occurred, the body of Heavenly Peak Mountain was already caving in; meanwhile, half of the mountain had already sunken. At this moment, the stone pillars in the middle of the mountain had completely collapsed, and Ye Fan and Lan Jing fell on a large jade platform.

It seemed Ye Fan possessed a domineering aura. He raised the divine weapon, taking steps towards Lan Jing, as if intending to kill her.

Meanwhile, Li Yunhuo finally broke free from the spatial seal Ye Fan had previously imposed and appeared before Ye Fan and Lan Jing.

Li Yunhuo laughed and said, "Ye Fan, you have made the correct choice!"
