"First God, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Just then, two scarlet eyes appeared. Yun Fan looked up and realized a tall figure was shrouded in darkness.
The figure was meeting Yun Fan's gaze, and after just one glance, Yun Fan's eyes began to bleed.
One could imagine how terrifying the opponent's strength was.
But Yun Fan was not flustered at all, because he knew that no matter what danger he encountered, there was always the Void Old Man to fall back on.
With this protection, what was there to fear?
Therefore, Yun Fan immediately said, "Black Prison King, I've come specifically to find you!"
He could call out the opponent's name, not because he had the memories of the First God, but because the Void Old Man had told him the opponent's identity before he came.
The Black Prison King sneered, "What do you want with me? Don't tell me you regret it and want to let me go, begging for my forgiveness. I'm telling you, that's impossible, because darkness is about to engulf the land again! No one can escape misfortune, and you will be the first to be held accountable, because you imprisoned me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Fan sneered disdainfully, "You worry too much. I'm not here to let you go, I'm here to kill you!"
"Hahahaha!"
The Black Prison King sneered, "You can't kill me with your current strength. You didn't kill me back then, and now that you've reincarnated, what right do you have to kill me!"
He didn't take the Yun Fan in front of him seriously at all. As soon as darkness shrouded the land again, he would be able to break free with the help of the darkness.
And that day was not far off.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "That's not necessarily true. After all, the one who laughs last is the winner!"
"Winner?"
The Black Prison King immediately attacked, sending a surge of dark power towards Yun Fan.
Yun Fan condensed his Battle Heaven power, preparing for an even match.
As it turned out, he was truly unworthy.
After just one move, Yun Fan was sent flying by the Black Prison King.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Yun Fan coughed a series of times. Even he hadn't expected that the Black Prison King, with only a fraction of his strength remaining, was still so powerful.
They were not on the same level at all!
"You are too weak!"
The Black Prison King said, "After reincarnating, you are nothing in front of me!"
"How did you know I reincarnated?"
Yun Fan asked in shock.
The Black Prison King said disdainfully, "Because your strength has betrayed you. As your old opponent, I know you better than anyone!"
"So what if you know?"
Yun Fan said coldly, "Since I came to find you, how could I not be prepared?"
"Tell me, what preparation do you have?"
The Black Prison King looked at Yun Fan disdainfully, wanting to see what tricks Yun Fan could pull.
Yun Fan said, "You'll find out soon enough!"
With that, he ignored the Black Prison King and shouted loudly, "Void Old Man, lend me a hand!"
That's right, his greatest trump card was the Void Old Man.
To his embarrassment, the Void Old Man showed no reaction at all.
Yun Fan thought he hadn't shouted loud enough, so he shouted again, "Void Old Man, it's time for your performance!"
They had an agreement before: if Yun Fan encountered uncontrollable danger, he just had to shout loudly.
Unexpectedly, after shouting twice, the Void Old Man remained completely unresponsive.
"Damn it!"
Yun Fan seemed to be gradually realizing that he had been tricked, and at this moment, he had the urge to tear the Void Old Man to pieces.
But before that, he still had to deal with the immediate challenge.
"Is that your trump card?"
The Black Prison King sneered. He had been a little apprehensive before, but now it seemed like there was no difference.
It was Yun Fan's turn to be embarrassed. He had made so many bold claims earlier, only for them to backfire so quickly.
Therefore, Yun Fan said awkwardly, "Uh... actually, I was just joking with you. I've come here to reconcile with you!"
That's right, Yun Fan chickened out. Facing such a powerful expert, he had no choice but to be timid!
However, the Black Prison King sneered, "I told you, I will not reconcile with you. Attack! Don't say I didn't give you face!"
As a leader among the forces of darkness, the Black Prison King believed that it was time for retribution.
At this moment, Yun Fan said coldly, "Black Prison King, don't be too naive. Since I dared to come with my current strength, how could I not be prepared! I advise you not to be too presumptuous!"
What Yun Fan wanted to do now was to make the opponent hesitate, and then find a way to escape.
After all, he had been terribly tricked.
Unexpectedly, the Black Prison King showed no hesitation and attacked Yun Fan directly without even uttering a threat.
"Die!"
The Black Prison King attacked with all his might. Even though his strength was greatly diminished, he was still an undisputed boss-level figure.
Yun Fan was no match for him.
After being hit again, Yun Fan felt like he might die here, but he would never sit idly by.
Instead, he defended and dodged, not directly confronting the Black Prison King.
For now, the Black Prison King's body was too massive, so Yun Fan could still retreat unscathed.
But once their energy was depleted, that would be another matter.
Therefore, at this moment, it was impossible for Yun Fan not to feel fear.
If he couldn't find a solution soon, he would likely be finished!
"Is this the strength you are so proud of?"
The Black Prison King sneered. He knew that the First God would be weak after rebirth, but he hadn't expected him to be this weak.
Even though Yun Fan could still contend with him now, he didn't care, because soon, Yun Fan would completely lose the qualification to contend with him.
Thus, facing a barrage of his attacks, Yun Fan was in utter misery.
"Void Old Man, I'm going to kill you!"
Yun Fan was breaking down.
This time, he had truly been fooled.
However, complaining now was of no use. If he couldn't continue to contend with the Black Prison King,
He would eventually run out of stamina.
They fought for a hundred rounds, with the Black Prison King mostly on the offensive. Even if Yun Fan managed to counterattack once, it was of no consequence to the Black Prison King.
Bang!
After a hundred rounds, Yun Fan's reaction time and execution were both declining. The Black Prison King found an opportunity and sent him flying.
He was almost half-dead, and under the corrosive effect of the darkness, he couldn't mobilize his strength for a while.
Therefore, for Yun Fan, nothing could be more tragic than this.
At this moment, the Black Prison King approached Yun Fan step by step with a sneer.
"First God, you are no match for me. But don't worry, I won't end you quickly. Because you imprisoned me for such a long era, I will slowly torture you to death until you despair!"
Undoubtedly, in the eyes of the Black Prison King, it was impossible for Yun Fan to die easily. After all, he wanted to get back all the suffering he had endured.
Yun Fan retreated step by step.
"Black Prison King, if you have the guts, give me a quick death!"
At this moment, Yun Fan was actually stalling for time, recovering while looking for a solution.
Facing the powerful Black Prison King, sometimes, one felt so helpless. Even he couldn't change this fate.
Unexpectedly, the Black Prison King sneered, "Alright! Kneel down and beg me, and I'll give you a quick death!"
"Beg you?"
Yun Fan said disdainfully, "You're really overthinking things. I'd rather die than beg you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Prison King struck him with a surge of power.
"Ah!"
Yun Fan let out a scream. Although he was a man of integrity, he couldn't help but cry out under such a blow.
The more Yun Fan was in distress and misery, the happier the Black Prison King became. The years of imprisonment finally found an outlet.
In the previous era, he was the vanguard of darkness, and unexpectedly, he had encountered the First God as soon as he debuted.
After confronting the First God for tens of thousands of years, he had ultimately suffered defeat.
However, he couldn't understand why the First God, who clearly had the power to kill him back then, simply didn't kill him.
Instead, he imprisoned him.
Now, this day had finally come. He would not rest until Yun Fan was tortured to death.
Under his barrage of attacks, even Yun Fan truly felt that death was imminent.
However, the Black Prison King would not give up.
At this moment, the Black Prison King suddenly attacked, sending a palm strike towards Yun Fan.
He intended to crush Yun Fan's physical body completely and then torment Yun Fan's soul. Little did he know that it was precisely at this moment that Yun Fan felt the runes hidden within his body.
These runes were definitely not evolved from Battle Heaven power, but they required Battle Heaven power to activate.
Thus, without a second thought, Yun Fan activated the runes within the Black Prison King.
The Black Prison King, who had been soaring high, suddenly felt the runes within him surging.
"No!"
The Black Prison King frantically mobilized his dark power, trying to suppress the runes, but it was too late.
In Yun Fan's words, a mere candle flame could set a prairie ablaze.
The runes became denser, constantly destroying the Black Prison King's body.
"Ah!"
The Black Prison King let out a series of screams.
Finally, his massive body began to disintegrate, and his dark power was being absorbed by these runes.
"If I don't kill you, don't you trouble me!"
The Black Prison King pleaded for mercy first.
Because if Yun Fan continued to push, he would surely die.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan said coldly, "Dream on! If I get the chance, I will definitely kill you!"
"Damn it!"
In his rage, the Black Prison King attacked Yun Fan directly.
Only when Yun Fan died would the runes stop.
Bang!
His world-shattering palm strike landed on Yun Fan, costing Yun Fan half his life.
Because while he was activating the runes, he couldn't dodge.
But Yun Fan didn't stop at this moment, continuing to activate them. Even the Black Prison King was scared by Yun Fan.
He hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so resolute.
Therefore, he mobilized his power again. That's right, he only had one chance to strike. If he couldn't kill Yun Fan completely this time,
He would definitely die from the engulfment of these runes.
Feeling the power sweeping across the nine heavens and ten earths descend, Yun Fan was greatly surprised.
At this moment, Yun Fan activated his Blood Boiling attribute in advance to counter the Black Prison King's full-power attack.
Of course, facing such a powerful Black Prison King, even with his Blood Boiling attribute activated, he was far from being a match for the Black Prison King.
Let alone blocking the Black Prison King's terrifying blow.
His ambition lay elsewhere.
Finally, at this last moment, the Black Prison King's palm struck down. If it hit Yun Fan, even his soul would dissipate.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Black Prison King, who was confident of victory, stopped.
"No!"
The Black Prison King let out a desperate scream. It turned out that Yun Fan, by activating his Blood Boiling attribute, had maximized the runes' brilliance.
Therefore, before this fatal blow landed, he had defeated the Black Prison King.
Thus, the Black Prison King's body completely disintegrated, and his soul was also continuously absorbed and devoured.
"Please spare me!"
The Black Prison King, stripped of his previous arrogance, now begged Yun Fan like a dog.
But Yun Fan remained indifferent. What a joke! If he spared the Black Prison King, he would have to die. Besides, he had never intended to spare the Black Prison King.
The Black Prison King naturally understood this, but he still tried to salvage the situation before his death.
"If you spare me, from today onwards, I will completely surrender to you!"
However, Yun Fan replied, "There's no need. I never make deals with darkness!"
"May you have a terrible death!"
The Black Prison King cursed, "After I die, more darkness will avenge me!"
However, for the Black Prison King, it was merely the lament of a dying man.
After the Black Prison King had completely dissipated,
Yun Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, I finally completed the tribulation perfectly!"
Yun Fan was still wary, he was just a step away from certain death.
The darkness was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
At this moment, he looked at the ball of light formed by the runes.
He knew that Battle Heaven power did not suppress darkness; it was entirely the work of these mysterious runes.
These mysterious runes were the nemesis of darkness.
Therefore, Yun Fan decided to thoroughly study this mysterious light cluster.
Thus, Yun Fan took the runes into his hand. After sensing the power composition within the runes, Yun Fan was stunned.
Because he could feel that the runes were composed of at least seven powers.
He was somewhat familiar with three of them: Spiritual Martial Power, Pure Yang Power, and his own Battle Heaven Power.
The other four were very vague.
But in Yun Fan's estimation, they might have been from previous generations who fought against darkness. However, the era was too distant.
He was unaware.
After obtaining the runes, Yun Fan merged them into his body. If successful, from this day forward, he would become the nemesis of darkness.
If he failed, it was fine. In Yun Fan's opinion, people had to keep trying to forge their own unique path.
Thus, Yun Fan began to fuse the runes. Under the rejection of the six powers other than Battle Heaven power,
Yun Fan felt as if he were living through an eternity. Every moment was extremely painful and despairing, but he did not give up.
Because he knew this was his last chance.
Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan endured all the pain and refined the runes. He didn't know how many times he had died and been reborn.
But through repeated failures and continuous efforts, he succeeded on the last try.
From this day forward, he was the nemesis of darkness. Now he possessed a new power, based on Battle Heaven power, continuously strengthening his bloodline.
It was still called Battle Heaven power, but it was on a different level compared to the previous Battle Heaven power.
Of course, his strength also increased rapidly. He had now reached the realm of a boss and could be considered a newly emerged boss in this era.
The only difference was that he hadn't reached the peak of the boss realm.
Otherwise, he would be the top boss.
Then he emerged from seclusion perfectly. This harvest was very satisfactory to Yun Fan.
"Young friend, congratulations on successfully emerging from seclusion!"
The Void Old Man came to meet him, congratulating Yun Fan. He hadn't expected Yun Fan to actually succeed.
As expected of the person he had chosen, Yun Fan's potential was truly remarkable.
However, Yun Fan did not appreciate his flattery.
He sneered, "Old man, you tricked me twice. How should we settle this debt?"
The Void Old Man showed a hint of fear. "Young friend, even if I unintentionally tricked you, the outcome is good. You can't hold a grudge against me!"
Facing the Void Old Man's defense, Yun Fan said directly, "Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge against you, but there's a condition!"
"What condition?"
The Void Old Man asked in confusion.
"That is, let me beat you up first!"
As soon as he said this, the Void Old Man's expression changed. "Young friend, there's absolutely no need!"
"I think it's very necessary!"
The next moment, Yun Fan struck out with a palm. If he didn't teach the Void Old Man a lesson, he would definitely have a lingering issue.
Therefore, at this moment, it was time to get his own back!
"Ah!"
A scream erupted.
"Senior, I was wrong. I was just joking with you just now!"
Yun Fan said miserably. Looking at the Void Old Man's timid demeanor, Yun Fan thought he was just a bronze-level fighter.
But the reality was a slap in the face. The Void Old Man was not only not a bronze, but a true king.
He had defeated Yun Fan in one move. Such strength was definitely among the top-tier bosses. Even though he was also a boss,
He was still far from the Void Old Man.
What was even more terrifying was that the Void Old Man showed no intention of stopping.
This was not Yun Fan's fault for being reckless; it was all because the Void Old Man was playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger.
"Young friend, promise me, peace is paramount!"
The Void Old Man earnestly persuaded him.
"Then we must prioritize peace!"
Yun Fan quickly conceded. Only then did the Void Old Man let him go. At this moment, Yun Fan was completely dejected.
He had never expected that not only would he not get his own back, but he would also end up acting like a subordinate.
At this time, the Void Old Man smiled, "That's right! It's good for young people to be impulsive, but it's not good to be always impulsive!"
"Yes, yes, you're right!"
Yun Fan replied awkwardly. Although he was unconvinced, he had to suppress it when facing such an existence.
"Young friend, what are your plans now?"
The Void Old Man knew that the First God's alternate account had been thoroughly trained. Yun Fan would undoubtedly do something significant next to announce his return.
However, the Void Old Man didn't know how Yun Fan would announce his return.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Senior, since you can travel back and forth, please send me to Huan Ye. I have a score to settle with Huan Ye!"
This was Yun Fan's current objective. Although he had sealed off the Final Epoch, he had learned that Huan Ye was gathering forces to attack the Final Epoch.
Given this choice, Yun Fan decided to strike first.
"Revenge is a must. I admire you greatly!"
The Void Old Man smiled and said, "I will grant your wish!"
With that, he was about to teleport Yun Fan away.
"Wait!"
Yun Fan suddenly stopped him and asked weakly, "Senior, you won't trick me this time, will you!"
"What do you mean by tricking you?"
The Void Old Man asked in confusion.
"After I deal with Huan Ye, those big shots will definitely make a move. I won't be able to deal with these big shots alone. Can you teleport me back then? You absolutely cannot falter again!"
Yun Fan was practically begging.
The Void Old Man smiled and said, "Young friend, don't worry. I unintentionally tricked you twice before, but third time's the charm. There won't be a third time!"
"That's good then!"
Yun Fan finally felt at ease.
Thus, he was teleported away by the Void Old Man.
...
With the support of the Ye family, Huan Ye had recently invited several prominent figures and was preparing to join forces with them to attack Yun Fan's Final Epoch.
"Young Master, everything is arranged!"
At this moment, Huan Ye's steward reported respectfully.
"Mm!"
Huan Ye nodded and then asked, "Does Pangu Divine Palace have any stance on this?"
"Young Master, please rest assured, Pangu Divine Palace seems to have tacitly approved your actions!"
Huan Ye said with satisfaction, "Very good, I know their intentions, but they will be the ones to regret it in the end!"
"Young Master, there is also a special existence who has come to assist you!"
"Who?"
Huan Ye asked in confusion.
At this moment, a figure descended.
"I am Ming Gui Xie Shen, one of the Eight Specters of Tian Zhou!"
The person announced his name.
Huan Ye looked at him and realized that Ming Gui Xie Shen's strength was not weak; he was considered a top-tier figure among the Eight Specters of Tian Zhou.
Because Ming Gui Xie Shen had already entered the boss realm, his strength was about the same as Huan Ye's current level.
Huan Ye nodded and said, "Very good. From today onwards, you will follow me!"
"Young Master, please rest assured, I have come here specifically to follow you!"
Ming Gui Xie Shen immediately declared his allegiance.
Although their strengths were similar, both just entering the boss realm,
Undeniably, Huan Ye's status was too high. When darkness enveloped the land, Huan Ye would be a high-ranking official within the darkness.
Following Huan Ye would not only allow Ming Gui Xie Shen to escape the reckoning of darkness but also gain the power of darkness.
"Since you have chosen to follow me, I will certainly not let you suffer any losses!"
Huan Ye said to him, "Next, I will transform you and give you a dark physique!"
"I couldn't ask for more! Thank you, Young Master!"
Ming Gui Xie Shen said repeatedly with gratitude.
Then, as Huan Ye was about to make his move, Yun Fan descended from the sky.
"Huan Ye, we meet again!"
This was the third time Yun Fan had met Huan Ye. In the previous two encounters, he had been utterly defeated by Huan Ye.
But this time was different. This time, he was determined to contend with Huan Ye and defeat him completely.
Huan Ye smiled playfully. "I wasn't looking for you, yet you came to find me. I don't know how much you long for death!"
Yun Fan said, "A scholar is to be esteemed after three days. Today, I will not disappoint you!"
"Is that so?"
Huan Ye sneered, not taking Yun Fan seriously at all.
At this moment, Ming Gui Xie Shen said, "Master, let me solve this troublesome matter for you!"
The next moment, Ming Gui Xie Shen attacked Yun Fan.
Upon sensing that the other party was one of the Eight Specters of Tian Zhou, Yun Fan didn't even bother to make a move and directly unleashed his runes.
"Ah!"
Ming Gui Xie Shen let out a scream and quickly begged Huan Ye for help, "Master, please help me!"
However, Huan Ye had no intention of helping. In Huan Ye's eyes, those who had no value of use were not worth his assistance.
Thus, Ming Gui Xie Shen became the first victim after Yun Fan's return.
Soon, Ming Gui Xie Shen was incinerated by the runes, and his power flowed into Yun Fan's body.
This further increased Yun Fan's strength. He didn't find it too little, as power was always accumulated bit by bit.
"I thought you would help him!"
Yun Fan looked at Huan Ye.
Huan Ye sneered, "There's no need to help, because you will die soon!"
"Is that so?"
Yun Fan released a surge of his aura.
Soon, Huan Ye sensed that Yun Fan had also entered the boss realm. However, he was not worried at all.
Having utterly defeated Yun Fan twice before, he didn't take Yun Fan seriously at all.
"Even though you have reached the peak of the sixth realm, to me, there's no difference. You are not worth my high regard!"
Huan Ye taunted disdainfully.
But Yun Fan said, "I don't want you to hold me in high regard. I want to kill you completely!"
"You are too naive!"
The next moment, Huan Ye directly unleashed his darkness, intending to prevent Yun Fan from escaping prematurely.
This time, he wanted to deal with Yun Fan once and for all.
Little did he know that Yun Fan had no intention of escaping. Since he had dared to come proactively, it was to confront Huan Ye head-on.
It was even better within Huan Ye's dark domain, because even if he killed Huan Ye, those prominent figures would not know.
They would only think that Huan Ye was cornering Yun Fan.
At this moment, Huan Ye attacked, unleashing his strongest move towards Yun Fan.
Bang!
After one move, the two forces canceled each other out, but Yun Fan's power directly pierced through Huan Ye's attack and hit Huan Ye.
"Damn it!"
Huan Ye looked at his pierced body with disbelief.
He hadn't expected to be defeated in the very first exchange. This was something that was impossible before.
"Surprised?"
Yun Fan sneered. He had been utterly defeated by Huan Ye before, and now Huan Ye still thought he was as weak as before.
"It's just one move, it doesn't represent anything. I was just being careless!"
Huan Ye said disdainfully.
Then he attacked again, heading straight for Yun Fan. This time, he cast aside his previous carelessness and attacked Yun Fan with 100% of his strength.
Yun Fan attacked with all his might, and the two once again engaged in a peak battle.
However, unexpectedly, after dozens of moves, Huan Ye was injured again, being heavily wounded by Yun Fan twice in a row.
"Pfft!"
Huan Ye spat out a mouthful of black blood. This was the first time he had coughed blood in his battles with Yun Fan.
Even within the same realm, he was undeniably defeated.
"How is this possible?"
Huan Ye looked at Yun Fan with unwillingness.
Yun Fan said, "Huan Ye, do you still think you can easily handle me now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Huan Ye frowned. If it were before, handling Yun Fan would have been a piece of cake.
But this time, an exception had occurred, and it made him realize Yun Fan's extraordinary nature.
It seemed that Yun Fan had developed a method to counter him.
"How did you do it?"
Huan Ye asked Yun Fan in disbelief.
Yun Fan said, "The disgrace of the previous two times forced me to change. You can't reach me now!"
Huan Ye couldn't accept this reality, but his mind was very sharp. Knowing that it was impossible to defeat Yun Fan,
He immediately prepared to remove the darkness and summon those prominent figures to surround and kill Yun Fan.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan had already seen through his intentions and struck first.
With another blow, Yun Fan sent Huan Ye flying, interrupting Huan Ye's spellcasting.
"Damn it!"
Huan Ye looked at Yun Fan with unwillingness. All along, he had been overwhelming Yun Fan with an absolute advantage.
He had never expected that Yun Fan would one day be able to trample on him.
For Huan Ye, he could never accept such humiliation.
Bang!
Yun Fan delivered another punch, shattering Huan Ye's body.
Huan Ye finally unleashed his ultimate move, but as soon as his darkness manifested, it was shattered by Yun Fan's Battle Heaven power.
At this moment, he finally understood that Yun Fan could indeed counter him, and it was not a false pretense.
Then, Yun Fan grabbed Huan Ye's soul.
"What do you have to say now?"
Yun Fan sneered at Huan Ye. This time, the battle ended quickly without much fighting.
Because this time, Yun Fan had crushed Huan Ye with an absolute advantage, just as Huan Ye had done to him the first time they fought.
Huan Ye sneered, "It seems I have been defeated!"
"That's right!"
Yun Fan sneered, "I thought you were unaware of the situation!"
"So what?"
Huan Ye said disdainfully, "Even if you defeat me and kill me, so what? Do you think you can stop the darkness? Instead, by killing me, you will be making enemies of them!"
"Are you talking about Pangu Divine Palace?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
"That's right!"
Huan Ye said, "Do you think they don't know I am darkness? In fact, they have known for a long time, but they have tacitly approved of me because they need me. Once you kill me and ruin their plans, your death will not be far off!"
"So, what do you want me to do?"
Yun Fan retorted.
Huan Ye said, "You are a smart person. You should know what it means to stall for time. Keep fighting with me without a conclusive result, and then you will continue to grow!"
"That's a good suggestion!"
Yun Fan sneered, "But I don't plan to accept it!"
"You have no choice!"
Upon hearing the outcome, Huan Ye couldn't help but feel worried.
But Yun Fan said, "Even if I have no choice, I will resolutely walk that path of no return!"
The next moment, Yun Fan crushed Huan Ye's soul.
"You will regret this!"
Huan Ye cursed at Yun Fan, but unfortunately, his curses quickly disappeared because he had been completely defeated by Yun Fan.
This time, Yun Fan finally got his own back as he wished, but at this moment, several auras locked onto him.
"They found out so quickly?"
Yun Fan smirked. As expected, he had indeed encroached upon certain people's interests.
