Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Battle Against Taiyi Ancestor

Inside the Hillside Villa.

Taiyi Ancestor was currently seated before the fog-like spiritual energy cultivated by the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation, absorbing the Spiritual Mist while cultivating.

His face was filled with rapture. Ever since he had stepped into the Divine Realm, only by finding spiritual objects nurtured by the heavens and earth, or Thousand-Year Elixirs, could he laboriously improve his cultivation. This was the first time he could cultivate easily just by absorbing spiritual energy.

The feeling was simply too refreshing.

"I really wonder who concocted such a miraculous formation. If the Divine Covenant were to learn of this, I’m afraid it would lead to a bloody fight over territory," he mused.

"However, on second thought, I’ve been here for quite some time, and yet nobody has come to drive me away. It seems that the master of this formation must no longer want it; given that, I might as well make it my own."

He blatantly disregarded Lu Jinyuan, whom he had previously driven away, for an ordinary person could not possibly create such a formation.

Just then, an imposing voice, laden with endless authority, carried over: "Taiyi Ancestor, get out here!"

Feeling the momentum in the voice, Taiyi Ancestor’s face abruptly changed, "Can’t be, can it? Just as I was reflecting on my fortunes, has the owner of this formation come knocking on my door?"

He quickly stood up and walked out of the villa.

From the voice alone, it was clear that the person’s strength was far from ordinary, and given the miraculous formation they had crafted, it was surely someone with ability.

Taiyi Ancestor had no intention of making an enemy; he had readied his excuses in his mind, planning to establish good relations. After all, at his level, gaining a friend was undoubtedly much better than making another enemy.

However, when he stepped out of the villa and saw that the person standing outside was just a young man in his twenties, the affable smile on his face immediately faded.

He sensed the Qi on the young man and noticed although it was exceptionally strong, there was no Golden Core condensed within him.

This meant that the young man in front of him was merely a little fellow who had not even entered the Divine Realm.

The thought of befriending him instantly vanished, and his usual arrogance returned as he spoke coldly, "Who are you? Dare you speak to me so rudely. Do you not value your life?"

Chen Fan curled his lips, "You unreasonably occupied my villa, used my formation without permission, and even drove my people away. Now you’re asking who I am. Do you old fogeys really like to be so unreasonable just because you’re older?"

Taiyi Ancestor’s eyebrows raised slightly, "You mean to say that the formation in this villa was crafted by you?"

Chen Fan snorted coldly, "What else?"

Taiyi Ancestor stroked his beard, his tone arrogant, "Kid, seeing that you accidentally constructed such a marvelous formation, I’ll let your previous disrespectful remarks slide."

"You have talent. If you kneel before me now, bash your head against the ground ten times, and then hand over the method to create this formation, I might consider taking you as my disciple and offering you a bright future."

Chen Fan gave a cold smile, "Where do you get the confidence that you’re qualified to take me as your disciple? If you kneel and apologize now, I might actually consider taking you on as my servant."

Taiyi Ancestor’s face darkened, "Young man, you’re looking for trouble. Don’t blame me for being impolite!"

No sooner had his words fallen than he flicked forth a burst of power towards Chen Fan.

Chen Fan raised his hand, and a gust of wind appeared, colliding with that burst of power.

Bang!

An explosion sounded, shaking the villa several times.

Taiyi Ancestor narrowed his eyes, "You haven’t reached the Divine Realm, yet you possess such strong power. There’s something peculiar about you. Let’s head to the mountain to fight, so as not to damage the formation."

Having said that, he transformed into a streak of flowing light and swept towards the back mountain.

Chen Fan didn’t hesitate and immediately followed.

Excitement appeared on his face; through the power unleashed just now, he had determined that the strength of Taiyi Ancestor was incomparable even to ten Lu Jiuxuans added together. This was the first true powerhouse he had encountered since stepping onto the path of cultivation.

Now that his strength had reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, he had been worried about having no one to fight with heartily, and Taiyi Ancestor was undoubtedly an excellent opponent.

Both arrived atop the back mountain, where the power kept surging out of Taiyi Ancestor’s Golden Core into his palm. Then he suddenly turned around and slapped a palm towards Chen Fan.

"Kid, this set of palm techniques I created after stepping into the Divine Realm is called Cloud Dragon Nine Transformations. Let’s see how many palms you can take!"

Without hesitation, Chen Fan immediately displayed the Dragon Elephant Thirteen Forms to counter Taiyi Ancestor’s attack.

As they fought, the mountains shook and the ground trembled, powerful waves of force spread out in all directions, causing continuous tremors. The residents of Yunwu Villas thought there was an earthquake, and they were so scared that they ran out of the buildings to open areas.

Chen Fan and Taiyi Ancestor’s figures moved rapidly, and with each clash, a large number of trees around them would fall. Where they passed, there were also various fierce and terrifying craters, showing the intensity of the battle.

About fifteen minutes later, their palms collided and then they quickly separated.

Sweat beads covered Taiyi Ancestor’s forehead, and he stared at Chen Fan with a solemn gaze, full of incredulity.

He could confirm that this young man in front of him definitely had not condensed a Golden Core, yet the power he exhibited was even more formidable than the power he wielded relying on his Golden Core. He was utterly puzzled.

Logically, whether a cultivator or a martial artist, before condensing their Inner Core, the level of their power would not transform and would only be common Inner Strength. How did this kid possess such high-quality power?

At this time, Chen Fan was full of satisfaction. The battle just now let him experience what was truly exhilarating, the most pleasurable fight he had had since entering the Foundation Establishment Stage.

At the same time, he was also certain in his mind that the so-called Divine Realm was indeed very similar to the Golden Core Realm. During the fight, he could feel that Taiyi Ancestor’s power originated from something in his dantian. If he was not mistaken, that would be the Inner Core he had condensed.

However, the quality of this Inner Core was a few levels below that of the Golden Core condensed in the Golden Core Realm, which was why he, at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, could fight on par with Taiyi Ancestor.

Could it be that after reaching the Divine Realm, it’s already considered a watered-down version of the path of cultivation?

Without giving it much more thought, Chen Fan cast a glance at Taiyi Ancestor. The battle just now had thoroughly satisfied him, and now, it was time to end this fight.

Taiyi Ancestor clearly had the same idea, but because Chen Fan was too unusual, he feared further fighting could lead to unexpected outcomes. Hence, he was ready to use his strongest move.

He took out a finely crafted little hammer from his clothing, which was forged from thousand-year Xuan iron. Combined with his Divine Realm power, it could unleash extremely terrifying force.

He poured all the power from his Inner Core into the hammer and a cold smile appeared on his face, "One strike from this hammer, even high-level Divine Realm experts would be smashed into running for cover with their heads held. Kid, you should feel honored that I resorted to this move!"

Then, Taiyi Ancestor charged towards Chen Fan at high speed, swinging the hammer down at him.

Just at that moment, a cold glint flew out from in front of Chen Fan, swiftly passing over Taiyi Ancestor’s head.

Taiyi Ancestor paused in surprise, "Eh, what was that just now?"
