23: The Ancient Saint Body has never admitted defeat, so how can it stop?

“Poof!!!”

The Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron was his natal battle weapon, and it had not yet fully materialized. With the small cauldron beaten to such a state, Ye Junfan naturally suffered heavy injuries.

Chu Ying wouldn't give him a chance, throwing punch after punch, like a surging tide, waves rolling and clouds churning.

“Poof! Poof! Poof!”

At this moment, Ye Junfan seemed to have become Chu Ying's punching bag, constantly being battered by Chu Ying.

“Ancient Sacred Body, is this all your technique amounts to?”

Chu Ying sneered as he threw punches.

Ye Junfan’s seven emotions and six desires had long been scattered, chaotic and violently out of control. Even though Ye Junfan was still under the effects of the Rejuvenating Spring Pill, barely able to resist the side effects.

But the main destructive power of the Seven Emotions Disturbing Desire Fist lies in harming the enemy's mind and destroying their soul!

His pupils turned crimson, and malevolence continuously surged within him. Ye Junfan, finally pushed to his limit, roared furiously:

“Damn it! Do you think you can bark at me with this little bit of strength?”

At this instant, his Aura suddenly changed, and the blood and qi within his body surged wildly, emitting terrifying golden streams of qi.

It seemed as if a portal had opened.

“Awooo!”

A furious roar, resembling a dragon's cry, echoed.

“Holy Body Divine Treasure: Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons!”

Ye Junfan, with crimson eyes, revealed this, his ultimate hidden trump card, which he had never used since opening the first divine treasure.

He had originally planned to unleash it at a critical life-or-death moment in the future, but having been beaten like this repeatedly by his opponent, he had no retreat!

He even felt the doubts coming from all directions; how could an Ancient Sacred Body be weaker than his peers?

“Yaoxi is also watching this battle, I cannot disappoint her…” Ye Junfan subconsciously glanced with his peripheral vision towards Yao Ruoxi’s location, but he only saw Yao Ruoxi’s figure and couldn’t see what expression Yao Ruoxi had now, whether she was disappointed in him…

This made him even more enraged, and his seven emotions and six desires once again became chaotic, violently impacting his mind.

“Be defeated for me!”

Ye Junfan roared towards the sky. With the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons Divine Treasure activated, his fists swung, roaring like golden dragons. At this moment, he truly seemed like a god descended from the heavens.

The spectators on Wu Dou Peak were already dumbfounded.

“Holy Body Divine Treasure? What is that?”

“Could it be a unique technique of the Ancient Sacred Body?”

The various Quasi-Saint Child and Quasi-Holy Daughter were already too shocked to speak. Indeed, when they saw Ye Junfan being brutally beaten by Chu Ying, they also thought the Ancient Sacred Body was nothing special.

But when they saw Ye Junfan open a divine treasure, their reactions instantly changed.

“As expected, it is said that monstrous Physiques like the Holy Body inherently possess divine treasures. Once activated, their combat power doubles, allowing them to kill opponents beyond their cultivation level and fight to the death as if it were a common occurrence.”

Elder Lu Lin of Wu Dou Peak muttered, his eyes gleaming.

He finally understood why the Peak Lord had bet on Ye Junfan. To have opened a Holy Body Divine Treasure while still in the Spirit Sea Realm, the opponent's potential was immeasurable. The Archaic Nine Tribulations might not be impossible to break.

Chu Ying was also very surprised to see Ye Junfan unleash his divine treasure, but he immediately activated the Gluttonous Treasure Technique!

Without manifesting a Cave Heaven or Dharma Idol, Chu Ying performed the Seven Emotions Disturbing Desire Fist, but he integrated the Gluttonous Treasure Technique into it.

The Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons charged forward majestically, but their arrogance lasted less than two seconds before being directly absorbed by Chu Ying's fist!

Ye Junfan was dumbfounded.

What's going on?

“Remember this.”

“Return the favor in kind!”

Bang!

A golden fist tore through the air, striking out with immense power and dominance, having absorbed the destructive force of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons and converted it into its own attack!

Chu Ying clearly felt his Physical Body tremble at that instant.

The Gluttonous Treasure Technique, which devours power and counterattacks, has a huge backlash; the Physical Body will be severely injured! The stronger the devoured power, the greater the injury!

Fortunately, the side effect was transferred!

“Poof!”

Below the stage, Xiao Yan, who was frantically healing and stabilizing his mind, suddenly spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. His internal organs felt as if they had been shattered, and his body trembled violently!

“???” Xiao Yan, his face pale, was greatly bewildered.

“I… Poof!” Su Yichen was also like this. He suddenly opened his eyes and directly spat out blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Other Quasi-Saint Child nearby were attracted by their abnormalities and asked in surprise, “What's going on? Chu Ying and Ye Junfan are fighting, why are you two spitting blood?”

On the stage.

Ye Junfan saw Chu Ying unleash a punch that had devoured his Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons, and he felt utterly unwell.

But then, his own body suddenly trembled violently, as if struck hard by an iron hammer.

Bang!

This was the backlash from the side effects of the Gluttonous Treasure Technique, and even the remaining medicinal power of the Rejuvenating Spring Pill couldn't withstand it.

And then, the fist landed!

“Ah, poof!”

Ye Junfan was struck by the fist, his chest deeply caved in. He was sent flying in a graceful arc through the air, before crashing onto the arena stage.

The entire audience gasped in astonishment, erupting in an uproar.

“Ye Junfan… flew again?”

“Didn’t he activate his Holy Body Divine Treasure? How is he still being utterly dominated by Chu Ying…”

Ye Junfan's eyes were already black with rage as he listened to the discussions around him. He also wanted to know what was going on!

I’ve used my damn Holy Body Divine Treasure, how can you, Chu Ying, still be dominating me?!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Chu Ying would not stop there.

Ye Junfan hadn’t admitted defeat yet!

As long as he wasn't killed, beat him to death!

Chu Ying grabbed Ye Junfan's arm and directly swung him around like a sandbag, smashing him furiously onto the ground.

“Poof!”

“Poof!”

Ye Junfan was unable to suppress his internal injuries and even more unable to stabilize his out-of-control emotions. His Dao Heart was on the verge of collapse.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Every time he was slammed, the watching Cultivator would subconsciously blink.

“Is Senior Brother Chu a bit too brutal…?” A Quasi-Saint Child couldn't help but speak with trepidation.

The Quasi-Holy Daughter watching from the sidelines rolled their eyes.

This is more than just a little!

Their eyelids twitched wildly as they watched, and some of the more delicate Quasi-Holy Daughter trembled.

They had originally thought of ridiculing Chu Ying for being crippled, after all, if it weren't for Chu Ying, Yao Ruoxi wouldn't have become the Holy Daughter, and they wouldn't have fallen so far behind Yao Ruoxi. But now, all those thoughts had vanished.

Who dares say Chu Ying is crippled?

Not only is he not crippled, he's even more terrifying!

Meanwhile.

Yao Ruoxi's brows had tightened at some point, and her beautiful face appeared grim.

Ye Junfan was the person she had chosen because he was an Ancient Sacred Body, destined to shine brightly in this era. Even two Peak Lord of Tai Xuan Holy Land had placed their bets on him, and she felt her choice couldn't be wrong.

But now… the Ye Junfan she had chosen was being utterly dominated and brutally beaten by Chu Ying, whom she had abandoned.

This was undoubtedly a slap to her face, making her lose all dignity, and filling her with a sense of anger as if she had made the wrong choice.

But she would never admit that she had chosen wrongly!

“Enough!”

A clear and melodious voice suddenly echoed throughout Wu Dou Peak.

“It’s a sparring match, you should know when to stop. Why is it so bloody?” Yao Ruoxi spoke coldly, but anyone could tell she was targeting Chu Ying.

Chu Ying was startled. How aloof was Yao Ruoxi usually, yet now she was speaking up for Ye Junfan.

Chu Ying sneered, “The Ancient Sacred Body has not yet admitted defeat, so how can there be a stop? How can it end?”

“Does the Holy Daughter saying ‘enough’ mean she’s admitting defeat on behalf of Ye Junfan?”

“Bang!”

Chu Ying once again swung Ye Junfan and slammed him to the ground. Ye Junfan’s eyes bulged from the pain, his entire body was already a bloody mess, and blood stained his clothes.

Elder Lu Lin also frowned deeply.

If Ye Junfan continued to be beaten like this, he might suffer damage to his Foundation, or even be crippled.

The Peak Lord had placed a bet on Ye Junfan, and if Ye Junfan were harmed, he would be held accountable. But another problem arose.

As the referee, under the watchful eyes of not only these Quasi-Saint Child and Quasi-Holy Daughter, but also the inner and outer disciples of the entire Tai Xuan Holy Land, and even people from the other eighteen Sacred Peaks, thirty-six Halls, and seventy-two Pavilions, everyone was watching.

How could he break the rules?

He couldn't, and he dared not!
