Chapter 3850: Fighting the Demon Emperor

“All of you, retreat further; leave this to me.”

Ye Bufan waved his hand, signaling everyone to step back, and then walked towards the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor.

Although the opponent was merely a Clone and his strength was greatly diminished, Ye Bufan still regarded him with extreme seriousness, after all, this was a Devil Emperor who once dominated the Immortal Realm.

It was precisely because of this that he had to go all out to eliminate the opponent, leaving no future troubles for himself.

“Brat, it seems you really are seeking death!”

The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor gritted his teeth; he could have dodged before, but now he had nowhere left to retreat.

Not to mention that this was his lair, the Genesis Ganoderma alone was something he could not abandon; only by relying on this item could he slowly accumulate strength.

Otherwise, once outside the Yuangu Secret Realm, he might end up in the mouth of a Yao Beast any day.

With that, he leaped into the air, throwing a punch that stirred up monstrous Devilish Qi.

Ye Bufan showed no fear, meeting the punch with one of his own, and the two immediately engaged in a direct clash.

“Bang!”

With a muffled thud, both retreated, but the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor retreated three or four steps, while Ye Bufan retreated seven or eight, clearly putting him at a disadvantage.

“Is that all you’ve got?”

Having gained the upper hand in one move, the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor’s confidence surged, and he launched a series of attacks, instantly stirring up a fierce gale, with Devilish Qi mixed in, making people hesitant to approach.

Ye Bufan countered each move, and although he managed to block them all, he was clearly being heavily suppressed.

Qin Muyue stood by, her fists clenched, her face filled with anxiety.

“Ye Dage doesn’t seem to be a match for that old guy; why don’t we attack together?”

“Don’t act rashly.”

Aoyue Fairy raised her hand to stop her, “Divine Doctor Ye told us to watch from the side, so we should just quietly watch. Reckless intervention will only cause trouble.”

Although the others were anxious, they thought the same.

Among them, except for Jin Meier, all were Immortal Lord Rank experts, yet even at their Peak, they could not participate in a battle of this Rank; the strength gap was too great.

At this moment, observing from afar was the best option; once they joined the battle at close range, they might even become a burden to Ye Bufan.

Wu Qimei stood behind the crowd, remaining silent throughout, her expression showing no reaction, but her gaze constantly shifted, as if she were deep in thought.

Ye Bufan, at this moment, couldn't pay attention to anything else; he was at a disadvantage and already somewhat flustered.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor firmly controlled the situation; although it was only a damaged Clone, he was using top-tier Cultivation Techniques, with both his movement and fist techniques perfected to the highest degree.

“Die!”

He sent Ye Bufan staggering back with a punch, then, like a Liuguang Floating Shadow, he rushed forward.

Just then, a flash of yellow light appeared before his eyes, followed by two streaks of fire whistling out, aimed directly at his chest.

“Eye of Lihuo!”

The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor quickly retreated. In his prime, he wouldn't have cared about any yellow strange fire, but now he couldn't afford to.

He had seen Ye Bufan use strange fire to break through walls before, but he hadn't expected the opponent could also cast spells with his eyes.

In his haste, he quickly retreated, but unfortunately, even at his fastest, he couldn't completely dodge, and the two streaks of fire pierced through his arms.

No blood flowed out, but countless amounts of Devilish Qi were refined into nothingness, leaving behind two fist-sized holes.

“Damn it, you’ve truly enraged me!”

The Devilish Qi on the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor surged, quickly healing his wounds.

However, this attack also caused him immense damage, at least the essence blood of an Immortal Lord Rank expert was completely consumed.

He reached out and grabbed, and a dark light whistled out from behind the Genesis Ganoderma, landing in his palm—it was a dark black shield.

This item must have been crafted from the shell of some kind of turtle Yao Beast, as there were still clear patterns on it.

Ye Bufan frowned; as an Artifact Refining Great Master, he could tell at a glance that this shield was extraordinary, having reached the Rank of a high-grade Immortal Artifact.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor held the shield in his left hand and punched again with his right.

Ye Bufan once again used the Eye of Lihuo, two streaks of fire shooting towards the opponent's face, but they were blocked by the turtle shell shield.

This item was a high-grade Immortal Artifact; even when the yellow strange fire landed on it, it instantly dissipated, leaving not a single trace.

As a result, the advantage he had just gained was lost again, and he quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

“Ignorant child, how dare you fight with this old man? Today, I will tear you to shreds.”

The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor once again blocked the Eye of Lihuo with his shield, then thrust out a punch with his right hand. Enveloped in Devilish Qi, his fist was like a descending hammer, incredibly powerful.

“Extinction God Fist!”

Ye Bufan roared, directly unleashing the Extinction God Fist.

Black lightning arcs densely covered his fist, instantly turning the Devilish Qi into nothingness. Then, their fists collided. This time, the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor gained no advantage; instead, under the suppression of the lightning, he suffered a hidden loss, being sent flying dozens of feet backward.

He stabilized himself, his face full of shock.

“What kind of fist technique is that? How can it possess such terrifying lightning power?”

If he had seen the Extinction Divine Lightning, with his knowledge, he would have recognized it at a glance.

But now that it had transformed into a fist technique, even though he had lived as a Devil Emperor for tens of thousands of years, he had never seen it before.

“The fist technique to beat you.”

Ye Bufan regained the advantage, letting out a loud roar and using Liuguang Floating Shadow to get behind the opponent, then throwing a punch.

Having just suffered a loss and consumed a lot of Devilish Qi, the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor dared not engage in a direct confrontation with him again.

He quickly flashed aside to dodge, but Ye Bufan’s speed was extremely fast, immediately following up with a second and third punch in quick succession.

In desperation, he could only raise the turtle shell shield in his hand again to block Ye Bufan’s punches.

A high-grade Immortal Artifact indeed lived up to its name; even though the Extinction God Fist was extremely overbearing, it still couldn't break through its defense.

However, the situation had greatly reversed; Ye Bufan had completely regained the initiative, launching frequent attacks, while the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor was being beaten back step by step.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, being well-traveled and experienced, quickly stabilized his footing. Although he was suppressed, he could still hold on with the turtle shell shield in his hand.

“Brat, I don’t believe you can last much longer.”

He had now discovered the opponent’s weakness: although this fist technique was powerful, each punch consumed a huge amount of Qi, and the black lightning arcs contained within the fist were becoming fewer and fewer.

Once the opponent no longer had the blessing of lightning power, it would be his turn to regain the initiative.

In fact, it was true; Ye Bufan grew anxious, his fists raining down like raindrops, eager to win.

But with each punch he threw, the lightning power diminished, slowly growing weaker and weaker until it disappeared.

Aoyue Fairy and the others watched with anxious faces, but there was nothing they could do; they couldn’t help at all.

“Brat, you’re finished, aren’t you? Now it’s my turn.”

The triumphant Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor burst into laughter, launching three consecutive punches.

Ye Bufan fought with all his might, and although he blocked two punches, he simply couldn't block the last one, which heavily struck him in the chest.

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily in front of Aoyue Fairy and the others.
