Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 173 Bridal Room

The Flickering Light Sacred Lady let out a sharp cry. Having her beautiful ear was both painful and humiliating. Her divine sense immediately became unstable, and the light between her eyebrows became somewhat dim.

Ye Fan’s divine sense was like a sword as it condensed into a ray of light that slashed towards the Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s Mindsea. At the same time he pressured her with his physical body, not letting her fly away.

A diamond imprint appeared between the Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s eyebrows. It appeared like an immortal flower breaking out of the water, and immediately ray after ray of lights blocked the golden sword ray.

This caused Ye Fan’s heart to shake. The fact that her divine sense was this powerful was out of his expectations. It definitely wasn’t much weaker than his.

He concentrated his divine sense and used the power of his Mindsea. The small golden lake gurgled and golden energy continuously surged out in a waves. It condensed into a sword outside and charged into that diamond imprint.

Their physical bodies were entangled and they could feel each other’s body heat. The Flickering Light Sacred Lady below was like warm jade, her soft and slender immortal body continuously emitting colored lights. Many times she almost forced Ye Fan away flying.

Ye Fan’s divine sense was superior, and despite how powerful she was, she couldn’t compete against him. That golden lake was incomparably deep, and it continuously released spiritual force. Originally it was just a trickle, but it then became a torrential river.

The Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s face turned pale. Her beautiful face was covered with shock. The diamond imprint on her forehead was slowly becoming pale and suppressed.

At this time, she decided to take some risks. By slightly reducing her focus on her mind, she released her powerful divine energy. A divinity rushed out of her Dao Palace and prepared to kill Ye Fan.

In just that instant when she split her attention, she became much more passive in the divine sense battle. She narrowly avoided having Ye Fan directly force his way into her Mindsea. Her body trembled.

The golden ray quickly forced its way forward. She quietly shook it back, her Mindsea releasing colorful lights and the diamond imprint once more bursting out with light.

At the same time, that divinity from the Dao Palace clearly appeared. The divinity stepped forward. She was completely covered in silver armor, the light shining and making her appear like a goddess descending onto this world.

She had black hair, and her body was like ice and snow. Inside the armor, she had a difficult to describe aura. Not only did it have a sorceress’s enticement, she also had a goddess’s holiness. The two opposing auras blended and gave her a different feeling from each angle.

She appeared the same as the Flickering Light Sacred Lady, but this time she was somewhat blank. Her eyes were beautiful, but had lost a bit of expression.

This made sense, as the true Flickering Light Sacred Lady was in the middle of a battle with Ye Fan. The divinity that rushed out of her Dao Palace was without a mind to guide it, thus it only calmly stood there.

“Kill!”

The Flickering Light Sacred Lady quietly shouted. She had to take a risk and force a strand of her divine sense to enter the divinity. Just at this moment, Ye Fan’s divine sense became like a blazing flame. It surged forward violently, causing that diamond imprint to darken.

In just a short instant, he forced himself all the way to the Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s entrance to her Mindsea and was just about to force his way in.

At the same time, that divinity’s black hair rose and the silver armor lit up. Its beautiful face immediately became lively and its eyes overflowed with Spiritual Qi. But its movements were still somewhat stiff and the body’s complete potential was not completely recovered.

She pulled out a divine sword hanging from her slender waist. In her hand, it shone brightly, like autumn waters. She raised it high into the air, appearing like a goddess descending into the mortal world about to eliminate devils. Pure and holy light radiated off from her.

The divinity slashed down with the sword at Ye Fan, wanting to chop him in half.

At the same time, Ye Fan’s divine sense finally penetrated the Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s Mindsea. Specks of light sunk in.

Both of them were very decisive. The Flickering Light Sacred Lady wanted to cut apart his physical body and thus kill him physically. Ye Fan wanted to defeat her Mindsea, thus shattering her divine sense and defeating her spirit, thus crushing her.

That divine sword of light released a piercing chilliness as it slashed down.

Ye Fan’s spiritual perception was very sharp, and tightly holding onto the Flickering Light Sacred Lady, he rolled to the side. That sword slashed a huge crevice ten meters deep into the land.

Ye Fan could imagine just how powerful that sword was. If it ended up slashing his body, the consequences would be terrible.

He viciously bit down on the Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s ear, not letting go. The two of them were in a tangle as they tumbled a dozen meters.

The only good thing was that the divinity’s movements were sluggish. With just a strand of divine sense in it, it wasn’t able to display its completely divine energy.

“AHH!” the Sacred Lady screamed in fear. Her Mindsea had been invaded and the golden light beam was like a river flowing in.

Ye Fan used his most powerful spiritual energy to crush the Sacred Lady’s spiritual sense. The outside divinity became completely useless without her control.

What he entered was a pure and holy Mindsea world. Clouds filled the air. The Flickering Light Sacred Lady stood elegantly in front if front of him.

In this Mindsea world, time seemed to stop. She feigned calm and said, “I never thought your divine sense was so powerful…”

Ye Fan didn’t have time to waste. There was still a divinity outside after all. He directly went for the kill.

“Little brother Ye, you can’t kill me.” The Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s expression turned cold and she quickly distanced herself, appearing high inside her Mindsea’s world.

The golden rays soared into the sky and closed in bit by bit, arriving right in front of her.

“My divine sense is my strongest trump card. Who would have thought your Mindsea was even stronger than mine.” She dodged to the side.

Ye Fan didn’t reply. His golden divine sense turned into a huge hand that slammed towards her.

The Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s spiritual body immediately became indistinct as she suffered a severe wound. Her speed was very quick as she disappeared deep into her Mindsea.

The golden rays turned into hundreds of sword rays that rained down like a meteor shower, aiming to crush the Flickering Light Sacred Lady.

Just at this moment, her beautiful figure disappeared deep within the clouds, and at the same time, Ye Fan felt a sudden sense of danger.

In the sky of her Mindsea the clouds surged and a huge palace appeared and pressed down on him. It was imposing and grand like a star field, making it difficult to resist.

“What’s going on?” Ye Fan was shocked. Her divine sense clearly wasn’t as powerful as his, so how could she release such a terrifying power?

The Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s gentle laugh rang out. She was standing within that enormous palace, appearing like a fairy of the Jade Lake. Her sleeves floated, and she was an absolutely peerless beauty as the surrounding clouds and mist curled around her.

“Little brother Ye, you really are crafty. Today I’ll have to relieve a grievance. Don’t worry, I’ll properly bury you.”

Ye Fan did his best to retreat, but he was now unable to leave this space. That huge palace had completely sealed this area.

“Why is this happening?” He truly was completely flabbergasted now. “Why is there such a palace in your Mindsea?”

The palace within the sky looked just like the Guanghan Palace[1] that was said to exist on the moon. There was actually moonlight enveloping it mistily, making the Flickering Light Sacred Lady appear indistinct, as if not of this world.

“This is a precious treasure I found in an abandoned ancient cave of the Flickering Light Sacred Land when I was a child. Its name is the Moon Palace, and the amount of power it can release is hard to estimate.” The Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s divine sense figure looked just like a real person. Her skin was snow white and her tender cheeks puffed as she said, “When I found it, it actually entered into my forehead. Over the next ten years, it nourished my divine sense to an extremely powerful level. I didn’t think that I would run into you today and be suppressed by your divine sense. It really is surprising.”

“Moon Palace… it lies between your eyebrows and nourishes your divine sense?” Ye Fan was absolutely shocked. This was definitely a rare treasure.

“Thus I said that your death is not wrong. I’ll be sending little brother Ye on his way now.” The Flickering Light Sacred Lady shone with holy light, but when she laughed, she was exceptionally charming and beautiful.

The Moon Palace truly was just like the Guanghan Palace. The watery moonlight filled it as it slowly descended down. Everything beneath it was on the verge of being wiped out. Ye Fan’s divine sense was like a flickering candle flame, appearing as if it might disappear at any moment.

“Wait!” shouted Ye Fan. “Beautiful Flickering Light Sacred Lady, even now I still don’t know your name…”

“Yao Xi!” She opened her red lips and spit out these two words, but she didn’t stop. That enormous Moon Palace crashed down.

In this divine sense space, time was eternal, so the passing of time could not be easily sensed. Ye Fan’s heart was startled as he realized this was probably all caused by the Moon Palace.

He did his best to force his way out.

In the outside world, that small golden lake between his eyebrows immediately dimmed, before a blazing sun rushed out.

It immediately entered Yao Xi’s forehead. This divine sense space violently shook.

Crack!

The sealed space was ripped apart. Ye Fan’s two divine senses merged, avoiding the suppression of the Moon Palace and appearing further away.

The Flickering Light Sacred Lady frowned. She was extremely unreconciled that she was unable to destroy him.

Ye Fan stopped in the distant sky and didn’t immediately leave. He suddenly laughed heartily. “Now I get it. That Moon Palace can only go up and down. It’s stuck in the surrounding area. You have no way to move it over here. No wonder you lured me to this area.”

“Even so, what can you do about it?” Yao Xi coldly smiled. She appeared calm, saying, “With my divine sense inside the Moon Palace, you are unable to harm me.”

“That’s true.” Ye Fan nodded and then laughed again. “I’ll keep your divine sense here and then split a strand of my divine sense to the outside world to have a wedding ceremony with you. We’ll see if you can still be calm then.”

“You…” Now she was unable to keep her cool.

“I’m going.” Ye Fan laughed and released a strand of divine perception that flew off. “Time to enter the bridal room!”

The Moon Palace was fixed between Yao Xi’s eyebrows, and inside, time was practically at a standstill. By the time Ye Fan charged out, only a split second had passed in the outside world.

That strand of divine perception returned to his physical body’s forehead, allowing him to recover his consciousness. At this time he was still biting down on that beautiful ear as a flowery fragrance filled his nose.

Not far away, that divinity once more slashed down with the sword.

Ye Fan quickly jumped away with the Flickering Light Sacred Lady. That divinity’s movements were very sluggish, but it still possessed a great might.

At this time, he had completely suppressed the Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s divine sense at her forehead and so her divine perception was unable to rush out. At this time, her soft immortal body might have surging divine energy, but she was unable to cause any threat to him.

“Flickering Light Sacred Lady, if you still don’t come out, we’ll be entering into the bridal room.” Ye Fan laughed.

His divine energy might be sealed, but his physical body was still very powerful. He fled like the wind, and that divinity was unable to catch up.

Bang!

Ye Fan violently swung his fist and slammed it into her chest, but he was unable to break through.

There was a starry diagram that appeared over the Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s body. They looked like a god’s battle clothes as a mysterious light circulated within it.

Ye Fan was very startled and had an increasing feeling that this woman truly wasn’t simple.

BOOM!

Yao Xi’s forehead released a bright light. She did her best to rush out, but she was trapped inside, and she was truly afraid that Ye Fan might mess around.

Although her divine sense was unable to rush out, she was able to sense everything happening in the outside world. A small amount of divine sense energy managed to enter her body and she immediately shouted in fear, “What are you planning on doing?!”

“I’m just helping you make some measurements…,” laughed Ye Fan.

“Scoundrel!”

Ye Fan was still holding the Flickering Light Sacred Lady while fleeing. That divinity’s movements became even slower, and it was quickly left far behind.

With one arm he was holding Yao Xi’s small waist, feeling her delicacy, while the other hand was carelessly wandering. He mocked, “Your body really is lithe and slender. But looks like there are some places that are ample and well developed…”

“You…!” The Flickering Light Sacred Lady almost fainted.

“The places that should be rounded are plump while the places that should be slender are slender. It really makes people sigh in admiration. If I were to lose you within a crowd of people, I bet there would be many men going crazy for you…”

Ye Fan bit down on her ear and said, “I have to make some preparations to get the most out of my investment.”

Yao Xi’s jade body had specks of light shining on her skin. She was soft and enticing, her body’s sweet fragrance like an orchid. Her fair neck was like jade with light glinting on it. Her beautiful hair fluttered on Ye Fan’s face, feeling like spring wind brushing past.

“I’ll kill you, Ye Fan!”

“I’ll give you two options. One, let me seal your divine sense, or two, we go to the bridal room right now.” Ye Fan’s hand wrapped around her small waist while the other hand casually moved all around. He laughed, “Make your decision.”
