At this moment, it was merely a surprise attack; the three Supreme Elders did not expect him to succeed and approach Jin Chixiao closely.
Within such close proximity, even half-step geniuses would meet their defeat. Close combat rarely left any survivors.
"Aaah..."
Jin Chixiao cried out, his body developing cracks like that of a cicada's shell. Human flesh cracked open, revealing the emergence of a golden creature to resist Ye Fan’s golden fist.
"Primordial Lifeform!"
Ye Fan was surprised; he already knew that this clan contained ancient king blood but did not expect another true form to emerge from it.
Jin Chixiao still retained his human shape, which was the most obvious feature of an ancient king's descendant. However, his entire body was covered in dense golden scales, resembling a golden casting.
Moreover, his limbs had grown much larger, and his bones were constantly creaking. His hair turned golden-yellow, like a burning flame.
Human flesh fell away, leaving a bloody scene that was rather terrifying. Both of his eyes transformed into gold, and a single horn sprouted from between his brows.
"Bang!"
Jin Chixiao's two golden hands clashed with Ye Fan’s golden fist, producing cracking sounds. He screamed in pain as he retreated like a flowing light.
"Puh"
At the moment Jin Chixiao retreated, his hands turned into mud, and then his arm bones broke; one could imagine how much force was exerted on him.
However, Ye Fan was also taken aback. The flesh of Jin Chixiao, transformed into a primordial lifeform, equaled that of a half-step genius—someone at the pinnacle of the first level in Heaven’s End realm.
"Such formidable flesh and blood of ancient life..." "Kill!"
The Supreme Elders rushed forward but their speed was insufficient to catch up. Ye Fan had already turned into a streak of light, lunging towards Jin Chixiao.
"Bang"
In the critical moment of life and death, Jin Chixiao gritted his teeth; his golden body ignited as he consumed the primordial essence, fleeing far away. He knew that even with this transformation, he was no match for Ye Fan, who had stepped into the Eighth Prohibition realm.
The Eighth Prohibition was too abnormal; he had no chance of winning, only to flee!
"Once more and again, but not a third time. You have ambushed me three times; it's time you met your end," Ye Fan’s lips curled into a cold smile as he hurled his golden battle spear.
"Sizzle"
The spear raced like a golden lightning bolt through the clouds, instantly catching up to Jin Chixiao and plunged into his back with a "Puh" sound, splattering blood everywhere.
"Aaah..."
Jin Chixiao cried out in agony as the golden battle spear pierced him. He flew several thousand feet away, impaled on an overhanging cliff face. The golden spear rod trembled, and blood flowed down.
"No!"
Behind him, three elders roared but could not stop it; they were too far apart.
Jin Chixiao suffered intensely but was powerless to move as the battle spear had him firmly pinned against the cliff wall, any movement causing unbearable pain.
Ye Fan approached closely, "Bang" as he extracted the spear and held it in one hand, suspending Jin Chixiao in mid-air.
"Release me, I will pay any price; I won't dare ambush you again," Jin Chixiao submitted, fearing Ye Fan's recoil that might shatter him to pieces.
Not long ago, he had personally witnessed how Ye Fan lifted or shattered nine mountains with his power, awe-inspiring and formidable.
"Just spare my life, and whatever you wish..." He no longer had any arrogance, pleading meekly.
"Are you a descendant of the Ancient King? Must you recognize the ancient text?" Ye Fan thought of the green gold book in his body, wanting him to translate it.
"Zhuang"
A flash of light appeared as a rusted green copper plate emerged. It was cool and ancient, captivating one’s spirit.
"Do you know the writing on these?"
"I... don’t recognize them," Jin Chixiao hesitated and shook his head, saying: "The time is too far gone; such characters have long been forgotten."
Ye Fan grew angry, exclaiming, "What good are you to me? You’re a complete illiterate!"
All the realms came out. Shouldn't everyone be clear about this now? As for various kings, ancient sages, and human emperors from antiquity, you can imagine them on your own.
