At that moment, the Great Wilderness Main God coughed and said, "Brother Yun Xiao, you’ve crossed the line!"

"Humph, I’ll leave on my own!" the Yunxiao Main God said coldly.

Although he was angry, he hadn’t lost his reason like the Main God of Spirit had. He had many sons, and Yun Xiao Zhi Shui was merely one of the more outstanding ones.

At that moment, Ye Fan struggled to get up. He had just sensed the Seven-Colored Demon Empress making her move. Coupled with his invisible armor, he had managed to survive the disaster, but there was no doubt his condition was poor. He hurriedly circulated his energy to begin healing, knowing this battle had exposed the secret measures the Seven-Colored Demon Empress had concealed for him. Now that he had alerted the Evil Divine Lineage, his days ahead would not be easy.

At that moment, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress said, "Is your entire Evil Divine Lineage so unreasonable?"

"Demon Empress, why do you say that?" the Great Wilderness Main God asked.

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress said, "In an arena match, life and death are disregarded. That is a matter for the younger generation. But two Main Gods from your Evil Divine Lineage stooped to ambush a junior!

"Is this how everyone in the Evil Divine Lineage behaves?"

Thus accused by the Seven-Colored Demon Empress, the Evil Divine Lineage was rendered speechless. It was true, after all, though Ye Fan was utterly detestable for having already killed two of their geniuses.

At that moment, the Great Wilderness Main God said awkwardly, "Even Main God Experts can lose control of their emotions sometimes." He then pointed at the Red Sand Main God and Evil Punishment Main God, adding, "I’m sure they can relate!"

The two snorted coldly. "We would never be as despicable and shameless as you!"

"So, shall we fight again today?" the Great Wilderness Main God asked, changing the subject.

"Impossible!" the Evil Punishment Main God roared. "My junior brother is already injured! He fought two consecutive matches without issue, only to be shamelessly ambushed by the Main Gods of your lineage. It’s a miracle he’s still alive, so how can he possibly fight again?"

The Great Wilderness Main God said helplessly, "According to the rules, once the competition begins, it cannot be stopped. To stop is to admit defeat!"

He was being cunning. His plan was to force the weakened Ye Fan to continue, creating an opportunity to kill him. The rest of the Evil Divine Lineage had the same intention.

"Bullshit!" the Evil Punishment Main God cursed furiously. This was the height of unfairness, and he was determined to fight for Ye Fan’s victory. Soon, the entire group was arguing.

At that moment, Ye Fan said with difficulty, "I can still fight!"

"No! You absolutely cannot fight now!" the Evil Punishment Main God immediately interjected. "They are so despicable and shameless, they’ll drag you down to their level!"

At that moment, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress said, "I have a good idea!"

"What is it?" everyone asked, looking at her with bewilderment.

She said, "Don’t you have a Great Wilderness Space here? Why not let them settle the outcome inside it?

"And let’s add all the Martial Artists who participated in this tournament into the mix!"

Hearing her suggestion, the Righteous Gods and the Shuntian Lineage gave no response, mentally weighing the intricacies to see who would have the disadvantage. But no matter how one looked at it, the situation was bleak. Ye Fan was at a disadvantage on the stage, and he would still be at a disadvantage in the Great Wilderness Space. The Evil Divine Lineage still had their two ace War Generals, Fu Hu and Huang Ji—their strongest geniuses—in addition to Bai Ya and Zuofa. Meanwhile, the Righteous Divine Lineage only had Ye Fan, Mu Chen Dong, and Wu Fa. As for Jue Wuqing, though a Righteous God, he would certainly not help. For the Evil Divine Lineage, this was a winning proposition no matter how they spun it.

"Alright!" the Great Wilderness Main God immediately agreed. "It’s already late. We’ll begin tomorrow!"

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress nodded. Both she and the Righteous Divine Lineage knew that, for now, this was the best available option.

Ye Fan returned to his room and focused on speeding up his recovery. His injuries were no longer a major concern.

At that moment, the Red Sand Main God and Evil Punishment Main God arrived, accompanied by Mu Chen Dong, Wu Fa, and Mu Keqing.

"Senior Brother, Seniors," Ye Fan said respectfully.

"No need for formalities. How are your injuries?" the Evil Punishment Main God asked.

Ye Fan replied, "They’re no longer a major concern."

"Damn it, why would the Seven-Colored Demon Empress make such a suggestion? By any calculation, you’re the one at a disadvantage!" he said.

But Ye Fan countered, "Actually, it’s a good deal for us."

"Oh?" The Main God looked at him inquisitively.

Ye Fan explained, "Whether on the stage or in the Great Wilderness Space, I’m at a disadvantage. But don’t forget, the Main God Experts can’t intervene in there. I’ll be able to focus everything on dealing with my opponents. If we had insisted on finishing the battle here today, they might very well have defeated me!"

Hearing this, the two Main Gods nodded.

The Red Sand Main God then asked, "I imagine they’re discussing this as well. What’s your plan?"

"Can’t Yezi just not enter the Great Wilderness Space?" Mu Keqing asked worriedly.

"No!" several people said at once.

Ye Fan declared, "They are indeed powerful, and they even have two supreme geniuses. But I believe in myself, and I believe in our team!"

He looked at Wu Fa and Mu Chen Dong, who both nodded solemnly. Indeed, at this point, it’s the only way.

"Alright. Since you have a plan, we won’t disturb you any longer," the Red Sand Main God said. "Rest well and conserve your strength. You must win tomorrow!"

Ye Fan nodded.

The group withdrew, but Mu Keqing tried to linger behind. Fortunately, the Red Sand Main God forcibly pulled her away.

Ye Fan was left alone in his room, deeply cultivating to restore his strength.

Suddenly, the doors and windows burst open. Ye Fan had just opened his eyes when his expression turned to one of delight. The visitor was the Seven-Colored Demon Empress.

"Are your injuries better?" she asked.

"Much better," Ye Fan replied. "I’m just one step away from returning to my peak!"

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress nodded, then grabbed his hand. Her voice turned cold. "Actually, your injuries haven’t healed at all!"

"Why did you lie to them?" she asked, staring at him coldly.

"I had no choice," Ye Fan explained with a helpless sigh. "If I told them the truth, they would only worry and lose confidence in me. This is the most crucial step in my plan to overthrow the Evil Divine Lineage, so I have to keep them in the dark."

"That’s incredibly foolish, you know that?" the Seven-Colored Demon Empress said. "Their strongest geniuses haven’t even made a move yet, and the Great Wilderness Space is fraught with danger!"

"I know," Ye Fan replied. "But I have no other choice!"

"Zi Xuan!" he called out suddenly.

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress reacted instinctively. Then she glared at him, and he could only manage an awkward smile.

He continued, "I know tomorrow’s battle will be fraught with danger, and my injuries are far from healed. But it’s absolutely impossible for them to win!"

He hooked his arm over her shoulder.

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress was angry, but she didn’t say anything. That time was an accident... but it was because of that accident that Ye Fan has become an indelible Heart Demon in her heart.
