Ye Fan broke through the array, and everyone was blasted away, comprehensively defeated by Ye Fan in an instant.

As many immortals were blown away, the power within them was greatly obstructed, even the immortal energy seemed to be sealed by Ye Fan. In the huge energy formed in an instant, Ye Fan subdued everyone, and each person carried a restrictive force that seemed like a time bomb set by Ye Fan. If Ye Fan detonated it, these immortals would be blown up at any time, completely becoming dust in the cosmos.

"Ah..." Many cries of pain echoed, even though they appeared as immortals, they still had human senses and could still feel the suffering of the mortal world.

Now that their power was sealed by Ye Fan, what they felt was their power rapidly draining away, an immense pain within their bodies, a fear of awaiting death.

Centered at the point of explosion, Ye Fan remained where he stood, surveying those present. He watched the ripples of immortal energy radiate out in circles from the scene, those ripples also being characteristic of the most powerful energy forms, intermingled with strong elemental forces.

"Master..." Six small crystals instantly returned to Ye Fan’s side, wandering around him in a soul body state. They finally found their master and were evidently very happy, circling around Ye Fan to express their attachment.

Ye Fan re-gathered all the spiritual energy and elemental forces. At this moment, the spiritual energy had risen to immortal energy, its power much stronger than the previous spiritual energy. His Nascent Soul had completely matured, merging entirely with his body. Now he was no longer worried about his Nascent Soul being fragile and exploited, for the Nascent Soul was him, and he himself was the Nascent Soul he cultivated, reaching a state of relative immortality.

His body had already transcended nature’s laws of the three realms, he wouldn’t age or die, nor fall ill. He could freely harness the characteristics of his own body, almost like a divine existence, but there was one thing he couldn’t change, the attributes of the elemental and spiritual energy within. If not well-harnessed, Ye Fan felt he could be countered by stronger forces at any moment.

Additionally, he now possessed the power to kill immortals of the celestial realm.

"Young Hero Ye, what are you doing?" The people of the celestial realm were nearly at their breaking point. They all fell to the ground, their bodies swaying, having lost the ability to contend with Ye Fan.

Earlier in the human realm, these people only feigned cooperation with Ye Fan, but now they had to confront a terrifying possibility: Ye Fan could obliterate all the immortals at any moment, and they would become historical dust, leaving no trace of their existence in the mortal realm.

Surveying his surroundings, Ye Fan finally located the most powerful entity in the celestial realm, the celestial lord with whom he had once made a covenant, the Grand Immortal Zhang Tian Taoist.

In such a complex situation, Ye Fan walked up to Zhang Tian Taoist, scrutinizing him, "Zhang Tian, why have you violated our previous agreement, challenging me at the expense of the celestial realm’s safety? Did you intend to kill me as soon as I entered the celestial realm?"

Zhang Tian might originally have sought to plead, but he knew that pleading was futile. Regardless, Ye Fan might want to annihilate the entire celestial realm, and all his efforts would then be in vain.

"Young Hero Ye, you now enter the celestial realm without any negotiation with us. Within the celestial realm, we possess the greatest authority, and you admitted before, in the human realm we follow your directive, but in the celestial realm, it’s not necessarily so. We are only acting as per the prior agreement. Where is the wrongdoing in that?" Zhang Tian Taoist continued to explain and argue.

Ye Fan sneered coldly, "Do you think I would accept such justifications and excuses?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Young Hero Ye, or should I address you as Alliance Hierarch Ye, you are now the direct controller of the celestial realm. By entering through ascension instead of through the celestial gate, you’re essentially an intruder. We merely responded to an intruder in the simplest way. Seems not wrong, don’t you think?" Zhang Tian knew that if he told the truth, admitting he was willfully obstructing Ye Fan and even trying to kill him, Ye Fan would never spare them. Now he could only use rhetoric and excuses to deceive Ye Fan, hoping Ye Fan would "show mercy."

"Zhang Tian Taoist, you knew I was entering the celestial realm, and someone alerted you, have made some pact to join forces against me. You actually collaborated with a demon for the survival of the celestial realm to act against me. I think it’s the most foolish thing you’ve done. I even think you deserve to die, perhaps only by flattening your celestial realm completely will you behave and become honest!" Ye Fan raised his hand, an elemental force forming in his palm.

Zhang Tian knew that if Ye Fan unleashed the elemental force in his hand, he and the immortals beside him would be obliterated. He couldn’t allow this to happen.

"Do as you will!" Zhang Tian said almost without a tone for negotiation, "You think we are wrong, punish us, but do not kill us all because we represent justice and aim to save the calamity. Isn’t it the same purpose as yours?"

At this moment, even as Zhang Tian Taoist spoke with composure, Ye Fan couldn’t help but admire this man. Still, some actions of Zhang Tian couldn’t be forgiven, just intending to kill him was already unforgivable.

"For the calamity, you want to kill me? Do you think immortals from the celestial realm have the right to confront the calamity?" Ye Fan said.

"We aren’t qualified, and neither are you!" Zhang Tian retorted angrily, "If you have the ability, destroy the celestial realm. You would essentially invalidate the plans Pan Gu and Fu Xi have made over tens of thousands of years, making you a sinner of the entire cultivation world. Would you like to see the cultivation world shattered, leaving ordinary humans and life to suffer immensely? Ye Fan, just as long as you agree to spare us in the celestial realm, whatever conditions you propose I will comply with. I believe none of these people dare oppose me, you can rest assured!"

Ye Fan surveyed those present; he was still unsure if these people would heed Zhang Tian.

Even if they believed in Zhang Tian, they might still betray or attack him, although now the disparity in cultivation between these celestial immortals and him was increasingly widening.

"All of you from the celestial realm must leave the celestial realm, it has been requisitioned by me!" Ye Fan declared, "From now on, you will be my slaves, I will assign work, and anyone who fails will be killed!"
