Chapter 648 The Seal Is Broken!

That shadow was not only extremely fast, but the aura it exuded was also terrifyingly immense!

Ye Fan could roughly tell.

The one who had previously used their life to trap him within the barrier must have been a top-tier expert among the Holy Clan's high-ranking members.

But compared to the being now approaching, that person was like a mere sprout!

Ye Fan's body began to tremble violently, beyond his control!

This was the body's instinctive reaction when encountering a formidable opponent!

Ye Fan himself possessed two great powers of rules, with the Rule of Eternal Life being a bug-like existence.

For him to tremble to this extent now...

This meant that the one arriving possessed strength at a terrifying level that Ye Fan could not fathom!

It meant that the opponent not only possessed the power of rules but also mastered them far beyond Ye Fan's level!

This person was undoubtedly the strongest Ye Fan had ever encountered!

The figure stopped not far in front of Ye Fan, narrowing its eyes as it scrutinized him.

"No wonder all those I sent to the Immortal Realm are dead," the figure said slowly. "So it is you who has mastered the two rules of Eternal Life and Devour."

Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat.

The half-wit Holy Clan high-ranking member beside him had once mentioned that they were sent to the Immortal Realm by some Envoy.

And now this person claimed those individuals were his subordinates.

The identity of the newcomer was clear.

The Envoy!

The previous individual who trapped him, upon discovering his Rule of Eternal Life, had even sacrificed their life to cast the barrier.

This meant that the Holy Clan member had no way to deal with the Rule of Eternal Life.

They could only sacrifice their life to buy time for their accomplice to destroy the World Tree.

Now, this person had seen through his two strongest abilities at a glance, yet showed no sign of panic.

This meant that the opponent completely disregarded his rule powers!

"A pity it's incomplete rule power!"

The Envoy's voice fell.

A terrifying gray energy shot towards Ye Fan!

Fast!

Too fast!

So fast that Ye Fan had no time to react!

By the time he realized what was happening, his chest had already been pierced!

"Pfft—!"

Blood gushed from the wound!

Ye Fan felt a dizzying sensation and immediately knelt on one knee.

He forced himself to try and stand up again, but found he couldn't muster any strength.

Instead, his movement caused the wound to bleed again.

And in his eyes, the Envoy began to appear with multiple afterimages.

This was a precursor to unconsciousness!

His pride-worthy self-healing ability seemed useless at this moment.

Although his body was repairing itself, the speed was slower than a mosquito's leg!

Ye Fan could clearly feel an unknown force hindering his body's repair.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the power of rules!

But he didn't know which specific rule power it was.

However, Ye Fan wasn't too panicked.

At worst, he would die.

He would revive and be back on his feet soon anyway.

"Swoosh—!"

The second gray energy arrived!

Ye Fan's entire head exploded!

With a flash of white light, Ye Fan was revived.

And on Ye Fan's face, a trace of solemnity finally appeared.

Because this time, he had not been revived at full strength!

Although he appeared fine externally, his internal organs still throbbed with intense pain.

If nothing unexpected happened, he had been severely injured!

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since acquiring the Rule of Eternal Life!

At this moment, Ye Fan finally realized an ominous situation.

The Rule of Eternal Life within him seemed to be incomplete...

This meant that if this continued, he might truly die here today!

Completely and utterly dead!

At this moment, Ye Fan faced the greatest peril of his life!

"Better than I imagined," the Envoy raised a finger again. "Good, very good!"

"Swoosh—!"

Ye Fan's body was pierced once more!

And this time, the Envoy only needed one blow to kill Ye Fan again!

This didn't mean the Envoy had suddenly become stronger, but rather that Ye Fan's own strength had decreased!

An even more terrifying thing happened!

After this death, Ye Fan took several seconds to revive again!

The revival time had increased!

Seeing Ye Fan revive again, a hint of joy flashed in the Envoy's eyes!

It seemed the longer Ye Fan persisted, the more excited he became!

"Swoosh—!"

The newly revived Ye Fan fell again!

And this time, the revival interval stretched to a full minute!

"Swoosh—!"

The Envoy unleashed another attack.

However, the power of this attack was noticeably weaker, and it avoided Ye Fan's head.

It was as if the Envoy was afraid of accidentally destroying Ye Fan's body with a single careless move...

Ye Fan revived repeatedly and fell repeatedly.

He hadn't had a single chance to retaliate since they met, completely being ground down.

And as he died repeatedly, the revival intervals grew longer and longer!

This Envoy seemed very patient, standing still and quietly waiting for Ye Fan to revive again.

And this time, the revival interval stretched to half an hour!

Another attack landed.

Ye Fan was instantly annihilated.

And this time...

A full hour passed, and Ye Fan still showed no signs of revival!

It seemed his revival ability had completely failed...

After waiting for another two hours, the Envoy finally walked towards Ye Fan's corpse.

"It seems he has reached his limit."

The Envoy murmured to himself and placed his hand on Ye Fan's head.

Truthfully, Ye Fan was the greatest unexpected gain of his journey!

If he could offer these two rule powers, that Lord would surely be pleased!

The next moment.

Gray energy flowed from the Envoy's hand into Ye Fan's body.

Rule powers relied on the owner's spiritual sea as their foundation.

Only by completely destroying the opponent's spiritual sea could the rule powers be perfectly extracted.

After death, the spiritual sea does not immediately dissipate.

This usually lasts for a few breaths.

However, for someone of the Envoy's level, this time was more than enough!

As soon as the gray energy entered Ye Fan's body, it surged madly towards Ye Fan's spiritual sea!

The area of Ye Fan's spiritual sea that he could control was immediately torn to shreds!

"Hm?"

A flicker of doubt appeared in the Envoy's eyes.

Because he discovered something peculiar in Ye Fan's spiritual sea.

It was a strange seal!

The reason it was strange was that this seal was entirely formed by the person's own mental power.

Using one's own mental power to construct a seal in one's own spiritual sea?

This person must be out of their mind!

Despite his internal commentary, the Envoy did not pause.

He increased the force and continued to output energy!

However, that seal seemed unusually peculiar.

No matter how hard the Envoy tried, there was no sign of it breaking.

Just as the Envoy was pondering...

An anomaly occurred!

The seal in Ye Fan's spiritual sea actually moved on its own!

Dense cracks appeared, instantly covering the entire seal!

The next moment!

"Crash—!"

The seal that had plagued Ye Fan for so long shattered on its own!!!
