Chapter 4211: Achieving the True Saint Emperor

“I finally succeeded!”

Ye Bufan held the Bodhi Creation Pill in his hand, his heart filled with excitement. A Medicinal Pill refined from three great Spirit Medicine, it was no exaggeration to say that it had reached the Peak of this Realm.

Although Sword Emperor, Taotie, First Demon Insect, and others could see the extraordinariness of this batch of Medicinal Pills, they quietly watched from the side, only acting as his Protectors and not stepping forward to inquire.

The Medicinal Pill had been successfully refined; now it was time to quickly improve his strength.

Although he had agreed to a day's time with Ran Changsheng, who could say for sure with such matters? Delays often lead to complications, so he had to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, he sat down cross-legged, adjusted the Immortal Essence within his body, and raised his hand to send a Bodhi Creation Pill into his mouth.

As the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, the Immortal Essence in his body immediately boiled like water, rapidly surging upwards.

The bodhi heart, Creation Immortal Spirit Zhi, and kirin horn—any one of them was a treasure hard to find even with a fortune. Now, refined into a Medicinal Pill, their medicinal effects were brought to the extreme.

About half an hour later, Ye Bufan felt that he had already touched the barrier of the Immortal Emperor Late Stage.

However, Chaotic Immortal Essence was indeed a huge consumer of resources. By this point, about seventy to eighty percent of the medicinal effect had been consumed, still a little short of a Breakthrough.

Ye Bufan did not hesitate at all, raising his hand and swallowing another Medicinal Pill. This time, the Immortal Essence in his body surged again, naturally achieving a Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Late Stage.

He had made a simple calculation before: he alone, even at the Immortal Emperor Late Stage, was still not a match for an eighth-Rank opponent. He had to try to achieve a Breakthrough to the Peak.

Thinking of this, he put two more Medicinal Pills into his mouth. However, just like before, for every Rank he achieved a Breakthrough, the Chaotic Immortal Essence required at least double, or even more, resources.

Although his strength had increased, it was still far from enough to reach the Immortal Emperor Peak.

He then swallowed two more Medicinal Pills. Out of the nine Medicinal Pills formed, he had already consumed six.

But after taking these two Medicinal Pills, although his Cultivation had greatly increased again, subtly reaching a Peak state, he was still just a hair's breadth away.

“Again!”

After a slight hesitation, he swallowed another Medicinal Pill.

The result was that even after absorbing the medicinal power, he was still just a tiny bit short.

“Heavens, this is the last one! Please, just let me achieve a Breakthrough.”

Ye Bufan muttered to himself, took out another Medicinal Pill and put it into his mouth. Only one remained in his hand.

This one was reserved for Yuan Yao Fairy and could not be consumed under any circumstances.

Fortunately, after this Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, the Immortal Essence in his body surged forward like a broken bamboo, breaking through the final barrier in one fell swoop, reaching the Realm of Immortal Emperor Great Perfection.

“Heaven has eyes, I finally succeeded!”

Ye Bufan let out a long breath, ending his Cultivation. At this moment, he felt extraordinarily powerful, and his perception of various elements around him was a hundred times clearer than before.

Let’s see what Rank I have achieved now, can I fight an eighth-Rank Saint Emperor?

Thinking of this, he began to activate his Immortal Emperor Domain. First, the Earth Element, then wind, thunder, dark, and space elements.

Nine elements quickly condensed around him, displaying different colors.

“This…”

Seeing this scene, everyone around was completely dumbfounded.

Although everyone understood Ye Bufan's intention, knowing that he was using the Medicinal Pills to quickly improve his strength, they had a certain expectation. However, they never imagined such a huge improvement.

“Nine elements! This is actually a ninth-Rank True Saint Emperor!”

Sword Emperor was the first to recover, exclaiming in surprise. Being able to control nine elements was the mark of a ninth-Rank Saint Emperor.

At the same time, according to legendary standards, being able to achieve nine elements meant becoming a True Saint Emperor.

Now everyone was both shocked and excited. For how many years had the True Saint Emperor only been a legend since that ancient, earth-shattering battle?

For so many years, none had appeared again, yet Ye Bufan had unexpectedly reached this Realm in one go.

After the shock, everyone's hearts were filled with joy and excitement. Ran Changsheng's previous power had weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like a large stone.

After all, the opponent's eighth-Rank strength was too powerful; even if everyone joined forces, they couldn't contend with him.

But now the situation had changed drastically. Ye Bufan had achieved the ninth-Rank True Saint Emperor, and the opponent instantly became insignificant.

Xiao Qing burst into an excited laugh: “Hahaha, Ye Dage has become a True Saint Emperor! Let's twist off that Old thing's head and kick it around like a ball.”

The others were the same, all beaming with joy.

“Calm down, everyone, don't expose yourselves yet. After all, Yuan Yao Fairy is still in the opponent's hands.”

Ye Bufan retracted his Domain. Although he was extremely excited, his basic rationality remained.

Although his strength had increased, he absolutely could not let Ran Changsheng discover it. Otherwise, with that Old thing holding a hostage, he would still be unable to turn the tables.

Everyone nodded, then adjusted their emotions, each becoming serious.

Ye Bufan also suppressed his newly achieved Cultivation, appearing no different from before.

After preparing, he removed the defensive barrier, took back the net, and led everyone to reappear above Water Moon Lake.

“There's a result so quickly?”

Ran Changsheng stood up, a hint of surprise in his expression, as only half a day had passed.

Ye Bufan said, “If Senior First Demon Insect refused me, saying he absolutely wouldn't reveal the location of the entrance, what would you do?”

“Boy, are you toying with this Old thing?”

The smile on Ran Changsheng's face vanished. “I already said before, if you dare to refuse me, you will all eventually die.

If you're smart, tell me the location quickly, otherwise don't blame this Old thing for being ruthless.”

Ye Bufan said indifferently, “If that's the case, then you can go to hell!”

“Boy, are you challenging this Old thing's patience?”

A cold glint flashed in Ran Changsheng's eyes, and he reached out to grab him.

In his mind, since First Demon Insect had refused, he would take Ye Bufan and try again.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he reached out, Ye Bufan's Saint Emperor Domain suddenly erupted.

Nine elements intertwined, finally forming a hazy Chaotic color that sealed all the space around him, and immense pressure descended overwhelmingly.

Ran Changsheng had been nonchalant before. In his eyes, these people were merely ants; if he hadn't wanted to inquire for information, he could have crushed them with a single slap.

He never expected Ye Bufan's strength to improve so greatly, actually reaching the Rank of a ninth-Rank True Saint Emperor in one go.

At this, he was completely dumbfounded, his expression becoming extremely flustered.

He had always pursued eternal life, wanting to enter the Chaotic Saint Realm to live forever, but now, facing a ninth-Rank Saint Emperor, he probably couldn't even keep his life.

But Ye Bufan's fist had already struck out, colliding with his palm.

At this moment, the gap between an eighth-Rank Saint Emperor and a True Saint Emperor was instantly evident. Ye Bufan remained motionless, while Ran Changsheng was directly sent flying backward, spitting blood.

“This is actually true!”

Realizing that Ye Bufan's strength was indeed that of a True Saint Emperor, he frantically reached out to grab the nearby Yuan Yao Fairy.

This guy was very smart; if he had a hostage, he still had a chance to turn the tables, otherwise, his old life would probably be lost here.
