The demonic claws that had been able to withstand any attack were now torn apart by the two God Emperors!
At the same time, the enormous phantom fist rushed toward Ye Fan once again!
"Hmph!"
At this moment, Ye Fan released a surge of powerful sword energy.
The sword energy enveloped his entire body, forming a special energy shield around him.
Boom—
The giant phantom fist slammed into Ye Fan's body.
The sword energy surrounding him shattered instantly upon impact!
"Damn it!"
A wave of excruciating pain surged through him.
Just as Ye Fan was about to make his next move, from all directions, blood-red chains appeared!
"What is this!?"
Seeing the chains, Ye Fan's pupils shrank with alarm.
Instinctively sensing danger, he tried to dodge, but the chains moved with incredible speed, wrapping around his limbs in an instant!
Ye Fan's expression changed drastically.
He struggled with all his might, trying to break free.
But no matter how hard he fought, the chains wouldn't budge!
"Ancient Artifact – The Divine Locking Chains!"
The Demon God Emperor shouted.
This was an ancient artifact of the Demon Domain!
"I didn't expect you to have something like this," the other God Emperors, seeing this, began to feel apprehensive.
"Don't you also have one?"
The Demon God Emperor shot a cold glance at the God Emperor.
The God Emperor chuckled softly, casting his gaze toward Ye Fan.
"So, there's a demonic sword here. I hadn't noticed until now," he said.
"But now, it must be destroyed."
As his words fell, the God Emperor raised his hand, and a brilliant white staff appeared in his grasp, emanating a blinding light.
Ancient Artifact – Thunder Rod!
As he lifted the Thunder Rod, radiant light shot out, piercing the sky.
The heavens lit up with a dazzling brightness!
Boom, boom—
Thunderous roars echoed from the sky.
Terrifying bolts of lightning began to form in the clouds.
"Lightning...?"
Seeing this, Ye Fan's face changed dramatically.
He could feel the overwhelming power of the lightning brewing in the heavens.
In desperation, he consumed his energy points, activating [Bloodthirsty Rampage] to gain more strength and break free of the chains.
But the Divine Locking Chains were too formidable.
The harder Ye Fan struggled, the tighter they bound him.
He had no way to break free!
In a last-ditch effort, Ye Fan shifted his form from human back to sword.
However, as soon as he transformed, the chains immediately tightened around the sword, binding it as well!
There was no escape!
"You can't get away!"
"This is an ancient artifact!" the Demon God Emperor shouted.
Ye Fan's sword body trembled violently, but no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.
He had exhausted every ability, yet still found no escape!
"Damn it!!!"
For the first time, Ye Fan felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
"Summon the lightning!"
With a wave of the Thunder Rod, the God Emperor commanded the heavens.
Bolts of terrifying lightning, now fully charged, began to rain down from the sky.
Boom—
The first bolt struck Ye Fan's sword body, and he let out a roar of agony.
The pain!
It was excruciating!
Despite having learned the Thunderstorm Formation, which gave him some resistance to lightning, the power of this bolt was too much to bear.
With the first strike, a small chip appeared on Ye Fan's sword.
But it was only the beginning.
More lightning was on the way!
Boom, boom, boom—
The terrifying sounds of lightning crashing down echoed endlessly.
The nearby Demon Gods and Martial Gods, caught off guard by the deafening noise, were momentarily paralyzed, unable to continue their battles.
The sound was overwhelming, as if their heads were about to explode.
Boom, boom, boom—
The relentless lightning continued to strike Ye Fan's sword, each bolt bringing him unbearable pain.
This kind of agony was unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
"Ah!!!"
Ye Fan roared in agony, his body thrashing wildly.
But the Divine Locking Chains held him firmly in place, giving him no chance to escape.
Boom—
Another bolt of lightning struck, and a crack appeared in Ye Fan's sword!
The pain intensified, as if his body was being split apart but he couldn't die!
And yet, the lightning continued to fall from the sky without mercy.
"Each of the eighty-one lightning bolts contains pure, unmatched power. Even ancient artifacts, when struck directly, may not survive unscathed," the God Emperor said coldly.
"Hmph."
The Demon God Emperor sneered at his words.
Though the Divine Locking Chains were tough, they weren't the target of the lightning; Ye Fan's sword was.
The chains were designed to withstand such shocks.
But the Demon God Emperor wasn't overly concerned.
His main objective was to destroy the demonic sword that had killed so many Demon Gods!
"Let me go!!!"
Ye Fan roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
Crack—
Another bolt of lightning struck, and a sharp sound rang out from Ye Fan's sword.
The sword... had broken!
Ye Fan's sword was now in two pieces!
The pain was unimaginable, as if he had been sliced in half but couldn't die.
"Hahaha! The sword is broken!"
The God Emperor burst out laughing upon seeing the scene.
[Restoration Chant]!!!
In desperation, Ye Fan activated the [Restoration Chant]!
In five seconds, he could chant an ancient spell that would restore his body to its state ten seconds ago, reducing any damage received during this time by ninety percent!
