Chapter 2120 - 2116: Tracking Ye Fan

Pan Gu looked at Nuwa, with a hint of malice in his expression. Fu Xi sensed the murderous aura emanating from Pan Gu, and he cautiously said, "Pan Gu, are you really planning to kill Nuwa? You know what consequences that would bring."

"Do you think I would be petty like Nuwa? Fu Xi, you underestimate me. What I focus on is the future of the universe, not the current gains and losses. You should know my purpose for doing all this, I intend to change Ye Fan, and even our destiny... If you are willing to listen to me, I will still consider you as my best assistant and friend, and our relationship won’t change just because of a minor conflict now." Pan Gu seemed to make a promise.

Fu Xi shook his head and said, "I don’t want to discuss this with you. From now on, I will not let Nuwa leave my side. She currently cannot protect herself. Previously, only you could harm her, and you intended to use me and Nuwa, so nothing would happen to her. But now your attitude has changed, and those who can harm her, including Ye Fan and the forces of the heavenly tribulation, have increased, making it very dangerous. Now that she is unconscious, I must protect her..."

"Suit yourself, come, let’s enter the Pan Gu secret realm together!"

After speaking, Pan Gu was the first to enter the Pan Gu secret realm, while Fu Xi brought Nuwa along. Nuwa was still unconscious at this moment, and Fu Xi had no way to awaken her. Pan Gu also did not focus his attention on Nuwa.

The white light was everywhere, the aftermath of the second wave of the heavenly tribulation had not yet ended, and the humans within the Pan Gu secret realm were already facing an ultimate disaster. Pan Gu looked at everything before him, and with a sense of lament, said, "Fu Xi, do you see the power of the heavenly tribulation? The world we created before is being destroyed by the forces of the heavenly tribulation. We must change something..."

"Aren’t we here to find Ye Fan? No matter what happens here, we still need to know what Ye Fan is doing. Ye Fan is extremely dangerous now!" Fu Xi said.

"Hmm." Pan Gu and Fu Xi appeared around Heavenly Peak Mountain, and at this moment, the mountain that pierced the clouds had already collapsed halfway. Ye Fan was no longer around the mountain, and as for what exactly happened, Pan Gu and Fu Xi couldn’t investigate in detail after their arrival.

Pan Gu said, "It seems like a major upheaval occurred here. Heavenly Peak Mountain, which was indomitable and even beyond our power to destroy, has become like this. Ye Fan’s cultivation must have greatly advanced!"

Fu Xi was incredulous and said, "Didn’t Ye Fan refuse to join the forces of the heavenly tribulation? If he hadn’t taken up that weapon voluntarily, who could harm him? Why did he do this?"

Pan Gu pondered for a moment and sighed, "Actually, if you put yourself in his shoes, you would roughly understand why Ye Fan did this. Because Ye Fan remains in a state of confusion both towards us and the heavenly tribulation, in his long search without finding a breakthrough, he would take reckless risks. This is also a common trait of humans; they love adventure, they like to do unrealistic things, and the final result only leads to their own destruction! Perhaps I overlooked his mentality."

"I don’t think you overlooked it; rather, you foresaw it long ago but refused to say it. Everything Ye Fan is doing now is due to your harm. You could have helped him!" Fu Xi said.

"Why should I help him? Although helping him might dissolve the heavenly tribulation, after the tribulation, he would also destroy me, and that includes you. Why should I help an enemy? This is such a dangerous thing, don’t you know how much potential Ye Fan has, how much threat he poses to us?"

Pan Gu was speaking when suddenly an explosion occurred on Heavenly Peak Mountain, drawing the eyes of both toward it.

The explosion took place in a way that was incomprehensible to Pan Gu and Fu Xi. Not only did it not completely flatten Heavenly Peak Mountain, but it also caused the mountain’s height to gradually increase.

"What’s going on?" Pan Gu was also somewhat puzzled.

Fu Xi said, "If I’m not mistaken, Heavenly Peak Mountain has a part beneath the ground, and in that part, there should be more secrets hidden... Unexpectedly, Heavenly Peak Mountain is regaining its height. Where exactly is Ye Fan now?"

"Unless we go up the mountain to take a look!" Pan Gu didn’t continue talking much with Fu Xi. He also very much wanted to know where Ye Fan was, so he proceeded towards Heavenly Peak Mountain without using space-time transfer. If used, the power of the heavenly tribulation would track them, and Ye Fan might also track them, moving him from the dark to the light.

When Pan Gu and Fu Xi reached the sky above Heavenly Peak Mountain, they found it completely empty, leaving nothing behind. The two finally descended onto the platform at the highest point of the continuously rising Heavenly Peak Mountain.

"Clearly, this isn’t the original summit of Heavenly Peak Mountain. Something happened here that caused the upper part of Heavenly Peak Mountain to collapse. This should be where the middle of the mountain once was!" Fu Xi said.

Pan Gu said, "Even so, what does it matter? Can you detect any changes here? I don’t even seem to sense any trace of Ye Fan. Where exactly has Ye Fan gone now?"

Fu Xi shook his head and said, "If you don’t know, why are you asking me? Has Ye Fan disappeared? No, there seems to be a strong aura of the death element here, which is the strangest thing... Right, do you remember the evil spirit banner?"

"What, have you found that thing?" Pan Gu frowned and asked.

Fu Xi said, "As far as I know, the evil spirit banner appeared in the mortal realm and was once acquired by Ye Fan. Ye Fan located the death element through the evil spirit banner, but besides obtaining the death element, the evil spirit banner has vanished, and its location should be right here... The evil spirit banner is a remnant from the last heavenly tribulation, and you should know what it signifies."

"It signifies slaughter and death, though it’s targeted at mortals. It doesn’t pose any threat to you or me, Fu Xi, I think you’re being too cautious!" Pan Gu said.

Fu Xi’s face grew solemn as he looked up at the sky, as if some force was descending.

"What is that?" Fu Xi suddenly asked.

"It seems like the power of the heavenly tribulation, but it also seems different. I can’t be certain what it is. What’s your take?" Pan Gu asked.

Fu Xi didn’t have time to answer. He quickly moved aside with Nuwa, leaving the summit of Heavenly Peak Mountain in an instant. Following this, the force caused a significant impact at the summit, leading to another powerful explosion, which again sheared off a part of the mountain’s peak.
