Shrouded Sky

Chapter 245 - Killing A Desolate Ancient Clan's Disciple

The Void Scripture was created by the ancient Grand Emperor Infinite Void through observing all things and capturing the eternal and unchanging laws. It is extremely profound and possesses the wonder of seizing the creation of heaven and earth.

The Heaven-Severing Finger is one of the supreme techniques within it, possessing great power and endless mysteries. At its peak, it can sever the imprint of the heavens and stir the great Dao.

Ji Yunfeng’s fingers were crystal clear, shooting out divine light that soared into the sky. His fingers moved like several true dragons swaying their tails, crossing together, exuding an awe-inspiring aura, as if they could sever mountains and cut apart the firmament.

The Heaven-Severing Finger was unleashed, cutting horizontally across the sky. Its momentum was pressing and oppressive, the divine light thick as a mountain peak, cutting toward the massive mountain in the air, its power astonishing.

This supreme art was truly terrifying. His jade-like fingers shot out divine light, transforming into heaven-shrouding dragon shears that could cut apart all things.

Ye Fan unleashed the Seal of Mountain and River, transforming it into a great mountain that suppressed the center of the sky. It was constantly struck, and terrifying ravines appeared on the mountain’s surface suspended in the void, all carved out by force.

The mountain expanded, its size growing, towering into the sky, pitch black and shining, with a silver waterfall hanging from the heavens. Ye Fan assumed the posture of embracing the moon, striking upward toward the dragon shears.

The several silver dragon shears trembled violently, almost breaking apart, but with a flash of light, they reformed, emitting even sharper divine brilliance. With killing intent surging to the heavens, they cut down again.

It was like ten thousand swords ringing in unison, echoing across the sky, sharp and domineering. The Heaven-Severing Finger revealed its most terrifying side, slaughtering all things, impossible to resist.

The sky trembled and roared. Silver light erupted and shot in all directions, making hearts palpitate. The dragon shears were indestructible, carving out one massive ravine after another on the great mountain.

However, the mountain never collapsed. It grew even sturdier, like an immortal demon mountain, releasing even more powerful force, several times nearly shattering the dragon shears.

The Seal of Mountain and River faced off against the Heaven-Severing Finger!

One was an ancient seal art driven by the War Paragon Art, the other a supreme secret technique recorded in the ancient Void Scripture. It was truly point against blade.

Ji Yunfeng was extremely shocked. A supreme art left behind by an ancient Grand Emperor, how could it be unable to suppress the Seal of Mountain and River? Although this ancient seal art was a peerless technique of the Northern Region, how could it compare with the Heaven-Severing Finger?

A scripture left by a Grand Emperor represented the zenith of cultivation, its secret techniques supreme and unparalleled in their field, impossible to surpass. Yet, before him, this person used the Seal of Mountain and River to block with ease, not falling into the slightest disadvantage. This defied reason.

Ji Yunfeng’s fingers trembled, divine light soaring, like five true dragons crossing the sky, rushing toward the mountain above.

The Heaven-Severing Finger was unfathomable. At its peak, it could stir the heavenly Dao and draw upon the eternal power of the void.

Although Ji Yunfeng could not reach such heights, his technique was indeed extraordinary. He continuously struck, five dragons locking the heavens, winding around the great mountain.

The scene was shocking, five massive true dragon bodies coiled around the mountain, their scales flashing, biting deep into the rock, trying to crush it.

The Heaven-Severing Finger stirred heaven and earth, drawing power from the void, its might suddenly increasing, making the mountain formed by the Seal of Mountain and River shake violently, on the verge of collapse.

The secret arts recorded in the ancient Void Scripture could display the immortal might of extremity. Even if now only a trace could be revealed, it was still unfathomable.

Ye Fan suddenly felt great pressure. His expression was solemn as he drove the War Paragon Art to its limits, bringing out the full power of the Seal of Mountain and River.

The mountain grew even larger, the oppressive feeling making those below tremble in fear, nearly collapsing to the ground.

One of the true dragons could no longer withstand it. The dragon body coiling the mountain was forced apart, flashing with light before shattering.

The mountain shook, the pressure astonishing, rising higher and more majestic.

“No, this is not truly the Seal of Mountain and River. It only has its form but another origin. What kind of secret art is this, that it can contend with the Heaven-Severing Finger?” Ji Yunfeng was bewildered, full of doubt.

But now there was no time to think. The Seal of Mountain and River shook violently, its power even greater, breaking the remaining four dragons apart. The terrifying energy spilled everywhere.

“Suppress!”

Ye Fan shouted. The Seal of Mountain and River was like the heavens, descending with unmatched might, shaking hearts.

“Heaven-Severing Finger!”

Ji Yunfeng roared, unleashing the art again, striking upward to block.

This time upon impact, Ji Yunfeng was sent flying. Even with brief contact, he was greatly shaken, his face turning pale.

“How could this be? The Heaven-Severing Finger can stir the Grand Dao, unmatched in the world. What is this secret art he is using that can contend with a Grand Emperor’s sacred technique?”

The sky quivered. Ye Fan embraced the moon again, the Seal of Mountain and River pressing down. The dark, towering mountain made hearts uneasy, its might irresistible.

Ji Yunfeng brought out the Heaven-Severing Finger to its utmost, yet the result was the same, he was blasted away, his body shaking, face deathly pale.

Ji Yunfeng felt a chill in his heart. He was on the verge of stepping into the fourth stage of the Dao Palace realm, while his opponent was only at the second stage. What did this mean?

The difference between realms was enormous, like a celestial ladder, one step up was “immortal,” one step down was “mortal.” It absolutely suppressed those of lower realms. Yet the other party was “reversing the flow to slay immortals”!

He was extremely proud, yet now he began to doubt himself. As a disciple of a Desolate Ancient Clan, his combat power far exceeded peers, yet he was being “reversed and slain” by another. This was shocking.

What terrified Ji Yunfeng even more was that the other’s godpower was endless, still increasing, the Seal of Mountain and River’s might greater than before. He dared not clash head-on.

“How is this possible? His power is too great. If a cultivator in the Four Pillars Realm were struck, they likely could not withstand it and would die in hatred.”

Ji Yunfeng’s face was ashen, his confidence gone. He knew he could not win. This thought alone was disastrous.

“Not good!”

On the broken mountain, the other three Ji Clan members and four disciples of the Radiant Light Sacred Ground all changed expressions, sensing something wrong.

“Yunfeng, retreat quickly! Do not fight!”

At the same time, someone rushed forward, trying to cut off Ye Fan and let Ji Yunfeng retreat.

It was clear to all now, Ji Yunfeng was no match, unable to withstand Ye Fan’s onslaught. If this continued, he would surely die.

On the broken mountain, many young cultivators of Cloud Marsh gathered, all shocked. A disciple from a Desolate Ancient Clan could not withstand a mysterious cultivator, this was startling.

Who exactly was this person? Everyone guessed that someone daring to provoke a disciple of a Desolate Ancient Clan must also have considerable status.

Ji Yunfeng truly wanted to retreat, he did not want to die. But to his horror, he found himself stuck to the Seal of Mountain and River. A demonic force from the mountain seemed to draw him in, trapping him in the void. He could not fly away.

The people behind grew anxious. Another Ji Clan disciple rushed forward, unleashing surging godpower, trying to tear apart the confinement.

It was terrifying. He struck with the Void Palm, shaking the sky.

The Void Palm was on par with the Heaven-Severing Finger, both supreme techniques of the Ji Clan’s Void Scripture, possessing incredible might.

When the Heaven-Severing Finger was unleashed, silver light was brilliant and holy, but the Void Palm was completely opposite, pitch black, dark as ink.

At this moment, the black giant hand covered the sky, blocking out the sun, shaking the mountain in the sky.

This was the Void Palm, drawing upon the eternal and indestructible Dao of the void. Its immortal might was unfathomable. Ordinary opponents could not resist and would be crushed to dust.

Ye Fan had not only witnessed this technique’s power but had also learned a fragment of it, so he understood its terror. But now, he felt no fear.

Even if the disciple trained by a Desolate Ancient Clan had slightly higher cultivation, Ye Fan was confident. Having learned the War Paragon Art from the Nine Secrets, he could contend.

The vital energy of the sky seemed to be drained, the world dimming. The Seal of Mountain and River’s power increased once more.

Ji Yunfeng could not escape, trapped here. At the same time, the Seal of Mountain and River descended upon the Void Palm.

Heaven and earth shook. The aftershocks rushed downward, making the broken mountain tremble. Many nearly fell to the ground.

This was an ocean-like terrifying force. The Void Palm and Seal of Mountain and River clashed, yet neither gained the upper hand.

“This is…” The Ji Clan disciple who had rushed over frowned deeply.

Below, the cultivators of Cloud Marsh were even more shocked. This mysterious figure was too powerful. His momentum did not fall, instead growing stronger, his godpower increasingly terrifying.

First breaking the Heaven-Severing Finger, then meeting the Void Palm head-on, dissolving both peerless techniques, such skill was chilling.

“Heaven-Severing Finger!” Ji Yunfeng roared, divine light thick as a mountain peak slashing outward.

“Void Palm!” the Ji Clan disciple shouted, the black giant hand crossing the sky, massive enough to block the sun, pressing down.

These two supreme arts both came from the same source, the ancient Void Scripture. Used together, their power was inconceivably great and terrifying.

But Ye Fan’s display was even more shocking.

The sky shook. After throwing one mountain, Ye Fan formed seals again, creating another mountain and hurling it.

The Seal of Mountain and River!

Its power shook heaven and earth. The mountains’ oppressive force was unstoppable, drawing away almost all the vital energy of the land, plunging the area into darkness.

Everyone was stunned, for throwing two mountains was not the end but just the beginning. Ye Fan embraced the moon, forming seals without pause.

The world quaked. He threw nine mountains in succession, draining the area of all spirit energy, sinking it into blackness.

It was too terrifying, force so great it seemed to crack the heavens. Throwing nine mountains in a row was unimaginable might.

Below, the spectators were dumbfounded, jaws dropped. Such vast godpower, seemingly endless, was shocking.

The nine mountains all hurtled toward the Ji Clan disciple who had come to help. His heart trembled, was this still human? He felt horror.

He struck with the Void Palm, the black hand covering the sky. At the same time, he decisively retreated. With nine mountains pressing down, he knew he could not block. To take it head-on meant likely being crushed to paste. Retreat was the only option.

Having blocked this disciple, Ye Fan moved unhurriedly, holding the tenth mountain, descending from the heavens to directly suppress Ji Yunfeng.

“Stop!”

Behind, the other two Ji Clan disciples shouted, but it was too late. They had not expected Ye Fan to be so fierce, throwing nine mountains to instantly change the situation.

Like a flood or vast ocean surging to the sky, the sound was deafening.

The Seal of Mountain and River!

Ye Fan pressed down directly, strength enough to pull mountains, aura dominating the world, like an immortal king descending, unstoppable.

Ji Yunfeng’s face drained of blood. The other’s godpower was vast, pressing him so he could not breathe. He barely unleashed the Heaven-Severing Finger, but it changed nothing.

The heavens and earth shook. Ye Fan suppressed him, killing Ji Yunfeng outright!

That body was torn apart, tattered and broken, then under the terrifying aftershocks, turned to ash.
