Chapter 608: Chapter 541 Crisis Resurfaces, Taking a Different Path!

Facing the legendary Dan Tribulation, Ye Fan was not only fearless but actually used the opportunity presented by the Dan Tribulation to boost his cultivation to a new level.

This... was beyond the expectations of everyone except Chu Xuanji and shocked them all so much that it left the vast Ao Xiang Villa in complete silence for the next few seconds.

However—

After a brief moment of stillness, Ao Xiang Villa exploded like a bomb had been set off, creating chaos!

"My god, he actually made a breakthrough amidst the legendary Dan Tribulation, how unbelievable is that?"

"This guy is simply a freak, his actions can’t be described with common sense!"

"Today, even if he ultimately perishes in his pursuit, his name will definitely resonate throughout the entire Hua Xia Cultivation World, and even shock the global cultivation community!"

Atop the mountain peak, those cultivators gradually recovered from their shock, and started discussing animatedly again, looking at Ye Fan as though they were looking at a monster.

"Initially, he was at the Innate Great Perfection Realm and withstood Little Saber King Bai Di’s peerless strike. Now having successfully broken through to the Half-step Gang Qi Realm, if he were to face Bai Di again, he would probably stand a good chance in combat, right?"

After the shock subsided, a cultivator suddenly remembered the previous encounter between Ye Fan and Bai Di and couldn’t help but speak up.

"He is still in the Innate Great Perfection Realm."

In the midst of the crowd, the strongest elder, who was at the Half-step Gang Qi Realm, spoke with a startling statement.

"He didn’t break through??"

Hearing this, the other cultivators all looked at the elder with shocked expressions.

"He did break through. His Martial Arts Cultivation has broken through the Innate Great Perfection Realm."

The Half-step Gang Qi elder spoke again, feeling a sense of unreality. He could not imagine how powerful a Half-step Gang Qi Ye Fan would be, but he believed that Ye Fan, at that point, would be able to kill cultivators of the same realm as easily as chopping vegetables.

"Uh..."

Hearing the Half-step Gang Qi elder’s words again, the other cultivators felt like they had heard the most incredible thing in the world, went blank in their minds, and were petrified on the spot.

"It looks like we’ve all been deceived by him. Previously, only his Magic Cultivation was at the Innate Great Perfection, and the Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts is truly miraculous."

Above the entrance of the villa, Lv Zhan, the demon of the Lv family, also realized that Ye Fan had not broken through to the Half-step Gang Qi Realm, but rather, it was his Martial Arts Cultivation that had made the breakthrough. After being momentarily stunned, he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, looking at Ye Fan with newfound respect.

"Say what you will, he’s still at the Innate Great Perfection Realm, and I can slay him as easily as slaughtering a chicken!" Yuan Feng declared arrogantly.

"Hehe..."

Lv Zhan looked at Yuan Feng with a gaze similar to that directed at an idiot. "On that day, without having made a breakthrough, he was able to defeat Xiao Selang of Tian Shan Sword Sect. If he were to face Xiao Selang today, it would be as easy as turning over his hand. And as I know, Xiao Selang had already reached the Half-step Gang Qi Realm before that battle and had mastered the unique skills of the Tian Shan Sword Sect. Little brother Yuan Feng is so confident, does it mean that your strength far exceeds that of Xiao Selang, and you even aspire to compete with Brother Bai?"

Yuan Feng’s confidence wavered when he heard Lv Zhan compare him to Bai Di, and he also knew that he had been blinded by jealousy and hatred—the current Ye Fan definitely possessed the power to battle him, and he might even lose!

"On that day, with his Martial Arts at the Peak of Innate and Magic at Innate Great Perfection, he could withstand a strike from Brother Bai. Now, his Martial Arts Cultivation has broken through the Innate Great Perfection Realm, and his strength has increased, I wonder how many of Brother Bai’s strikes he could now withstand?" Lv Zhan said, casting a meaningful glance at Bai Di.

"That waste’s main reliance is on his Magic Cultivation. The improvement in his Martial Arts Cultivation gives him only a limited boost to his combat power."

Before Bai Di could speak, Jiang Ying took the lead with her usual disdain, completely disregarding Ye Fan.

"That day, he was lucky to dodge my strike. If there’s a next time, one slash would be enough to finish him!" Bai Di laughed coldly, as arrogant as ever, clearly agreeing with Jiang Ying’s words.

"What if his Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts both reach the Half-step Gang Qi Realm?" Lv Zhan asked with a smile, posing a hypothetical question.

"——"

Whether it was Yuan Feng or Jiang Ying, even Bai Di was rendered silent.

Unconsciously, two words emerged in their minds: invincible!

With Ye Fan’s current combat power being so fearsome, if he really could reach the Half-step Gang Qi Realm with his Dual Cultivation, he would be undoubtedly able to sweep the younger generation and achieve true invincibility under the Gang Qi Realm!

"Hmph, the Dan Tribulation is just beginning, he’d better survive today first!"

After the silence, Yuan Feng spoke somewhat discontentedly, as he feared that if Ye Fan survived today, he would pose a great threat to him in the future.

Not just him, Jiang Ying also felt a certain apprehension towards the growing Ye Fan, secretly hoping that Ye Fan would perish today.

"Even if he survives today by chance, I’ll take him down in the Qing bang competition!"

Bai Di maintained his domineering atmosphere, but knew in his heart that if Ye Fan survived today and elected not to participate in this Qing bang competition, with Ye Fan’s demonstrated speed of cultivation, he would surely become a huge threat in the future, perhaps even surpassing him to become the foremost among the younger generation.

"He must die today!"

Heavenly Master Zhang’s face turned extremely grim, his rational mind telling him that Yuan Feng was no match for Ye Fan after the breakthrough, leaving him only to hope Ye Fan would die today. Otherwise, if Ye Fan defeated or even killed Yuan Feng in the Qing bang competition, the Wudang Sect would lose all face.

"The descending Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is beginning to decrease, could it be that the legendary Dan Tribulation is ending just like that?"

As Heavenly Master Zhang’s words ended, another exclamation came from atop the mountain peak.

Shortly after, everyone clearly sensed that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the sky, although it gathered more and more, had stopped striking Ye Fan and was gradually returning to calm.

"The kid’s impressive, not only did he successfully withstand the first wave of the Dan Tribulation, but he also made a breakthrough in his Martial Arts Cultivation to the Innate Great Perfection Realm."

Different from the cultivators atop the mountain peak, Chu Ji had witnessed Ye Fan helping Ye Yuanshan defy heaven and withstand Heaven’s Tribulation, and knew that what had just occurred was only the first wave of the Dan Tribulation. Still, she let out a sigh of relief, then showed a hint of confusion, "I really don’t know what Master is worried about. Is it concern over the later waves of the Dan Tribulation? But Xiao Fan has that mysterious Crimson Golden Crown, which should be completely capable of withstanding it."

"Hopefully, everything will be safe," Ye Wenhao still looked worried.

"The crimson Gold crown inside his body is damaged, and it can’t shield him from the Dan Tribulation," Su Yuxin sighed deeply, revealing the inside story.

"What... What??"

Ye Wenhao and Chu Ji exclaimed in shock and alarm simultaneously.

Both of them had witnessed the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation caused by defying fate, and the Dan Tribulation was even more terrifying than the Heavenly Tribulation of defying fate!

In this situation, without the crimson Gold crown, how would Ye Fan withstand it?

"Yuxin, since you knew this, why didn’t you stop him?" Ye Wenhao’s emotions became somewhat out of control as he questioned her.

"Both Master Chu and I tried to stop him, but he insisted on refining the Lifespan Extension Pill," Su Yuxin’s eyes rimmed with redness, her concern no less than that of Ye Wenhao and Chu Ji.

Hearing Su Yuxin say so, Ye Wenhao became desperately anxious as if he wished he could immediately rush into the villa courtyard and take upon himself the Dan Tribulation in Ye Fan’s place.

However—

Despite his desperation, the only vestige of rationality in him said that both the Dan Tribulation and Heavenly Tribulation were punishments from heaven for those who defied fate, equivalent to Heaven and Earth Laws.

The person who defied heaven to refine the Lifespan Extension Pill was Ye Fan; no one could replace Ye Fan in bearing the Dan Tribulation!

Chu Ji also paced anxiously, completely helpless, and could only look toward the sky with great apprehension, hoping that the Dan Tribulation would end there.

But as she looked up, Chu Ji’s face paled instantly!

For though Ye Fan had just absorbed and refined quite a bit of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, there was now even more Primordial Qi in the sky than before, the terrifying Primordial Qi Vortex increasing in rotation speed, causing the rate of fusion to also quicken.

Beyond that, countless strands of Primordial Qi were gathering rapidly above Ao Xiang Villa.

A frightening aura enveloped the entire sky.

That aura seemed to forewarn everyone that the upcoming Dan Tribulation would be exceedingly horrific!

"It seems he resisted too easily just now, and now heaven is enraged, preparing to unleash an even more terrifying Dan Tribulation," Yan said thoughtfully, realizing the abnormality in the sky: "Next, if he tries to fend off the Dan Tribulation by absorbing and refining Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi like before, it will be utterly impossible!"

Chu Xuanji’s mind was like a clear mirror, and his expression became grave again as he took in the sight of Ye Fan in silence.

Ye Fan continued to sit cross-legged with closed eyes, refining the remaining Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within his body, but he was no longer converting it into Power; instead, he was transforming it into Mind Power!

Earlier, by absorbing and refining the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from the Dan Tribulation, he had successfully broken through to the Innate Great Perfection Realm, but it had cost him an immense amount of Mind Power.

Now, naturally, he had to replenish what he had expended during the interlude when the attack of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi had ceased, preparing to meet the next wave of the Dan Tribulation!

"Xiao Fan, has the crimson Gold crown appeared inside you?"

Yan hesitated for a moment before finally asking Ye Fan, who was beside the jade stone, well aware that the appearance of the crimson Gold crown would be a decisive factor in whether Ye Fan could successfully resist the Dan Tribulation!

"Mhm."

Upon hearing the question, Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes and nodded casually, feigning ease.

"Then we can rest easy," Yan said with a smile.

"Really?"

Chu Xuanji, however, was somewhat skeptical, his gaze piercing as he scrutinized Ye Fan as if trying to see into his soul.

"Really, old man, don’t worry about me," Ye Fan replied, smiling easily in the face of Chu Xuanji’s sharp gaze, though inwardly he was silently sighing.

Because, until now, he still couldn’t sense the crimson Gold crown!

He was lying again, merely not wishing to let Chu Xuanji worry about him!

"Boom—"

"Crack—"

As Ye Fan’s voice fell, strange phenomena reappeared in the sky, with dark clouds swirling and lightning flashing, as if doomsday had arrived.

"Boom—"

Suddenly, a tremendous roar echoed through the heavens, like the furious bellow of the sky gods, instantly dispersing the dark clouds and sending a chill through everyone present with its formidable presence.

After the roar, a Primordial Energy Light Column as thick as a water vat descended from the heavens as a flash of white light, resembling a spilt Milky Way, carrying a horrifying aura as it barreled towards Ye Fan.

"At this point, I can only gamble!"

Facing a life-or-death situation, Ye Fan gave up hoping for the appearance of the crimson Gold crown and decided to take another path!
