Chapter 917: Chapter 808: Realization After the Fact, Judgement of the Guilty

After several hours of effort by Ye Fan, Su Liuli’s injuries finally recovered completely. Moreover, because Ye Fan combined the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi with Pure Yang Qi during the healing process, it indirectly helped Su Liuli undergo a Body Refinement.

After recovering from her injuries, Su Liuli could clearly sense that many impurities had been expelled from her body, significantly enhancing her physical strength.

This discovery delighted her immensely, but more so, she was touched!

In her state of being moved, she did not utter the words "thank you" to Ye Fan. Instead, she gazed at Ye Fan with deep emotion, then lowered her head slightly, her cheeks blushing, and said, "I’ll go wash up."

"Hmm, I’ll go hunt a mutant beast for dinner."

Ye Fan nodded with a smile. Just now, while assisting Su Liuli with Body Refinement, he expelled a large amount of impurities from Su Liuli’s body, with black grime covering her entire body and staining the white robe she wore.

Originally, there were many mutant beasts in the valley, but Ye Fan didn’t intend to harm the ones here.

On one hand, these mutant beasts had never attacked him and Su Liuli proactively; on the contrary, they seemed willing to be friendly towards them, which he found quite rare.

On the other hand, although he and Su Liuli had acknowledged their affection for each other, they had not yet developed a physical relationship, so he felt embarrassed to openly watch Su Liuli bathe in the valley’s pool.

About an hour later, Ye Fan returned to the valley carrying a plump deer.

The deer was two meters long and weighed five hundred pounds, but on Ye Fan’s shoulder, it seemed as light as a feather.

In the valley, there was a small stream meandering towards the pool. Seeing Su Liuli had finished her bath, Ye Fan carried the deer to the stream, deftly skinned and gutted it, washed it clean with the stream’s water, and built a bonfire.

His adept skills were directly related to Chu Xuanji’s "guidance." Chu Xuanji had diverse interests and a picky taste but rarely cooked himself.

Therefore, from a young age, along with learning and cultivation, Ye Fan had an additional task, which was to cook. To him, slaughtering a deer for a barbecue was a piece of cake.

However, throughout the process, Su Liuli was stunned. In her impression, Ye Fan seemed never to have cooked before, let alone displayed outdoor survival skills.

Soon, the enticing aroma of cooked meat filled the air. Although there were no spices or barbecue sauce, the pure wild flavor itself was a delicacy. Furthermore, this deer was an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast, inherently rich in vital essence and Primordial Qi.

It could be said this was undoubtedly a highly nourishing ingredient, which might have caused a scramble among major forces if it were outside.

Yet here, it was merely dinner for the two of them!

...

While Ye Fan and Su Liuli enjoyed their nourishing feast, on the other side of the Trial Holy Land, Mahayana was conducting a frenzied massacre.

Since entering the Holy Land, he had never given up on looking for Ye Fan. However, unfortunately, or fortunately, Mahayana was directly teleported to the depths of the Final Trial Holy Land, mired in endless slaughter.

The Final Trial Holy Land was vastly different from the Ranking Competition’s Trial Holy Land. Though it appeared much more desolate, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here was more concentrated, making the mutant beasts generally stronger than those in the First Trial Holy Land.

Most noticeably, there were almost no Level 8 or Level 9 mutant beasts here; at the very least, they were all Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beasts, alongside some Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beasts.

The endless slaughter caused Mahayana’s points to surge rapidly, but he had no time to check the Investiture of the Gods.

After fighting till nightfall, Mahayana arrived at the foot of a Holy Mountain. Feeling somewhat tired and having consumed too much Gang Qi, he decided to find a place to rest.

However, in the Trial Holy Land, there were almost no safe places, so he reluctantly had to kill all the mutant beasts within a ten-mile radius.

However—

Mahayana did not expect that after clearing out several Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beasts, he would encounter an opponent of equal strength!

It was a mutated giant insect, ten meters long and as thick as a water tank. When it emerged from beneath the ground, it made a terrifying impact, as if there were an earthquake.

Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beast!

As soon as the mutated insect appeared, Mahayana judged its strength through its aura.

As an inheritor of the Ancient Indian Buddhist Order, although Mahayana was a monk, he had slain many foes and had seen Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beasts more than once.

In terms of aura alone, the mutated insect was considered relatively weak among Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beasts, hence Mahayana felt no fear. Instead, he took the initiative to attack, waving a Vajra Palm.

Swish!

Mahayana struck out with a palm, golden Gang Qi erupting, transforming into a golden light palm that ferociously hit the mutated insect. _{f.r(e)e\webn.ovel.co\m}

Bang—

A dull impact sounded as the mutated insect was knocked to the ground.

The formidable force directly cracked the earth, yet the mutated insect wasn’t severely injured. Instead, it immediately launched a counterattack by opening its mouth to spray a series of fluids, enveloping Mahayana.

Hmm?

Though Mahayana didn’t know the lethality of the insect’s secretion, he dared not take it lightly and quickly sidestepped to evade.

"Hiss... Hiss..."

As the acid landed on the ground, even the hard rock became pockmarked with erosion, a pungent sour smell mingled with white smoke spreading!

Seeing the earth riddled with holes from corrosion, Mahayana was slightly shocked, realizing that although this mutated insect’s aura was not strong, its defensive and offensive capabilities were astonishing and could not be underestimated.

Calming his consciousness, Mahayana forced himself to remain calm in the face of attack. To deal with such a formidable insect, one must not confront it head-on.

Swish!

Missing its initial strike, the mutated insect switched to defense for offense, launching another attack, its body flashing as it rapidly closed in on Mahayana, its claws gleaming coldly like a massive meat grinder.

Whish!

In a breath, the mutated insect was upon Mahayana, its body leaping into the air, with several front claws rising like sharp blades, aiming to slash at Mahayana.

Although Mahayana didn’t know what the talent ability of the mutant insect was, he could be sure that its claws were extremely sharp. Once caught, it would be very unpleasant.

Snap—

With a crisp sound, the ground cracked open, and Mahayana leaped up, directly over the giant insect’s head, landing on its body. His feet dug in like they were rooted, firmly stepping on the insect’s neck.

Seeing its prey actually jump onto its back, the giant insect immediately got angry and rolled fiercely on the ground, trying to crush Mahayana underneath.

Hmm?

At the same time, Mahayana suddenly felt something unusual about the giant insect’s body. Some places were very firm, but others were soft, like stepping on a pile of cotton.

This discovery stirred Mahayana’s heart, vaguely guessing something, but he wasn’t slow in his movements. He quickly leaped off the mutant insect’s body, trying to distance himself again.

As a mid-stage War God realm mutant beast, the mutant insect had already developed spiritual wisdom, and its intelligence wasn’t low. Seeing Mahayana trying to escape, it suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed a mouthful of saliva!

"Sizzle~"

A slight sound emitted as white smoke spread. The mutant insect’s saliva sprayed onto Mahayana, but it couldn’t break his protective aura and evaporated immediately.

The venomous saliva didn’t cause a lethal impact on Mahayana. The mutant insect wanted to swallow Mahayana alive!

Swish!

Mahayana had long anticipated this strike. He stepped on the mutant insect’s head, using the rebound force to leap into the air.

"Evil insect, die!"

In the sky, Mahayana roared, suddenly taking out a string of Buddha beads made from Shariputra. He flicked his finger, and a Shariputra turned into a ray of light, shooting into the mutant insect’s mouth.

"Puff—"

Within the mouth of the mutant insect, there was no shell or Gang Qi protection. It was instantly pierced by the Shariputra, and blood splattered out.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh...

Seizing the moment, Mahayana struck while the iron was hot, disassembling the Buddha beads in his hand. One Shariputra after another shot into the mutant insect’s mouth like beams of light, piercing through its body and ricocheting out.

"Awo—"

The mutant insect’s blood dyed its body red, and it let out an earth-shattering wail. Then, its head fell heavily to the ground, and the light in its eyes quickly faded, turning gray.

Mahayana gave a cold smile. He knew his gamble had paid off. This giant insect, although tough and incredibly defensive, even his Vajra Palm couldn’t harm it. But when it attacked with its mouth open, it exposed a fatal flaw!

After dealing with the mutant insect, Mahayana took out its beast core, then checked the vicinity. After ensuring no mutant beasts were nearby, he found a relatively hidden place to adjust and cultivate.

"I wonder if that sinner is dead yet?"

Mahayana sat cross-legged, and his mind shifted to Ye Fan.

In his heart, Ye Fan was a sinner drenched in blood who must be executed by him!

He didn’t want Ye Fan to be killed by other top geniuses before he could meet him.

However—

Upon seeing the rankings on the Investiture of the Gods, Mahayana was dumbfounded.

Indeed...

Dumbfounded!

Because he clearly saw that Zorro, Fa’er, Xue Chou, and Doug all had zero points, ranking at the bottom.

And... Ye Fan was at the top, with points far exceeding his own, who was in second place!

"Could it be that Fa’er, Zorro, and Xue Chou died at the hands of that sinner?"

After the shock, Mahayana asked himself in his mind.

Yes!

In the next moment, Mahayana’s mind confirmed this answer.

In his view, if Ye Fan hadn’t killed Zorro, Fa’er, and Xue Chou, it would be impossible for Ye Fan’s points to surpass his by so much!

After all, since entering the final Holy Land, he had been killing relentlessly, with countless mutant beasts dying by his hand, including several strong mid-stage War God realm mutant beasts!

"A villain full of sins, although your strength was beyond my expectation, it suits me perfectly—only I can cleanse your sins and offer you salvation!"

At this moment, Mahayana considered himself the judge of the world. His words were filled with righteousness, but his eyes glinted with ferocity, eager to meet Ye Fan as soon as possible.

As he wished.

After enjoying a feast of mutant beasts, Ye Fan, accompanied by Su Liuli, left the valley, heading toward the direction of the Holy Mountain!
