Chapter 2176 - 2172: Failed Destruction

When the woman finished speaking, the image immediately vanished. Ye Fan looked at the woman in front of him, and many thoughts suddenly arose in his mind, but ultimately he did nothing.

Ye Fan stood where he was, gazing at the blue object that resembled a clock, seemingly wanting to discern the internal structure of the blue object.

"Young Master, since we have found what we were looking for, isn’t it time to leave?" Sang Yuan asked.

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "No, I don’t believe this is something that will help me greatly. I even feel that this is an illusion meant to confuse me. I think this might be a trap deliberately set for me by someone, and everything I see could be related to the power of the heavenly tribulations, even the person who spoke just now might be from the forces of the heavenly tribulations!"

"So Young Master means there are other things to search for here, and Young Master doesn’t plan to leave for now?" Sang Yuan frowned slightly. She couldn’t understand Ye Fan at all, nor could anyone give her any answers.

Ye Fan sneered and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. What I see now is what I am striving to pursue. As for what exactly is hidden behind it, I need to investigate it myself! I want to know ultimately how many secrets I can uncover, and what exactly those people are desperately hiding!"

As Ye Fan finished speaking, under Sang Yuan’s incomprehensible gaze, Ye Fan actually raised his hand and immediately attacked the blue object as if he wanted to destroy it.

"Young Master!" Sang Yuan exclaimed. She had originally held great expectations for this object, but now she knew that it wouldn’t significantly impact her cultivation. However, she still didn’t wish for Ye Fan to destroy it.

Unfortunately, even as she called out, Ye Fan had no intention of stopping. Ye Fan’s hand had already struck the object’s body, forming an immense force similar to destruction in an instant. It caused a huge explosion within Earth’s lower spatial layer, powerful enough to destroy not just Earth, but even the entire solar system wouldn’t escape. But Ye Fan could still control this force.

"Hoo!"

After a muffled noise resembling the sound of wind, the explosion ended amidst violent tremors. Sang Yuan was inside a large defensive circle, so she felt the explosion distinctively. It took her a long time to recover, realizing Ye Fan had controlled everything and prevented the explosion from affecting Earth.

After focusing her eyes, Sang Yuan couldn’t see where Ye Fan had gone. She seemed to be in a dark space and quickly asked, "Young Master, are you alright? Young Master... Where are you?"

Ye Fan’s voice also disappeared, and everything around seemed to be within a void. Sang Yuan couldn’t see anyone, even though she expended her cultivation trying to clear the mist around her, she still didn’t have the ability to do so.

Just then, the voice of the woman in the previous image came, "Ye Fan, why did you do this? This is actually just one of your two choices. The results of these two choices are utterly different. I didn’t expect you to act so extreme. I thought you could handle your own power and use it to fight against the heavenly tribulations, even against those forces that are your enemies. But I didn’t expect your extremism to have already led you astray!"

"Young Master, are you there?" Sang Yuan could only hear the woman’s voice but couldn’t sense Ye Fan’s presence. She was very nervous and could only try to establish contact with Ye Fan, but it seemed like Ye Fan had disappeared.

Sang Yuan didn’t even know what kind of environment she was in. She exerted a great deal of effort trying to break out of the mist, but ultimately she failed.

Then, Ye Fan’s voice came, very distant, making Sang Yuan feel a void, "What I want to do, nobody can predict. My principles for doing things are not to conform to the development of power and space-time. Because I am a product of this space-time, I don’t want space-time to form any shackles on my future actions. You all want to control me, but it’s wishful thinking to complete it!"

The woman said, "No one wants to control you, even your power is unmanageable by anyone. In your life cycle, you might experience many things, but the most important point is that you cannot grasp the source of your own power. Ye Fan, you have already failed. Because of your arrogance and ignorance, it has led to your current situation. I am not threatening you, but you simply don’t have the ability to change your status. The authority of the creator above is something you cannot challenge!"

Sang Yuan felt incredulous hearing these words and said, "Young Master, where are you? I feel my power is draining away. I seem to be swept into a strange turbulence by your powerful force. Young Master, save me!"

No one answered Sang Yuan, not even the dialogue between Ye Fan and the woman seemed to continue. Sang Yuan appeared very apprehensive because she could sense her power depleting rapidly.

Just as Sang Yuan was about to feel despair, she noticed some power around her body suddenly restored. She could detect that she seemed to have entered a normal space-time. Before she could make sense of the situation, finally, her vision restored, and she saw Ye Fan standing in front of her, though she still didn’t fully understand what had happened.

"Young Master, you..." Sang Yuan looked at Ye Fan with a thrilling emotion, like narrowly escaping death.

The surrounding space didn’t seem much different than before, as if nothing had happened. Sang Yuan glanced around at the familiar environment, even the blue clock-like object still existed, as if nothing had changed.

Ye Fan said, "This force is actually a control over space-time. I can feel that I have been controlled by others, maneuvered within a space-time. I must cultivate according to the way those creators have designated, even if it means dying here!"

Sang Yuan looked at Ye Fan and said, "Young Master, are you saying you also can’t break a certain restriction?"

"Mm!" Ye Fan’s face showed some disappointment, and eventually, he shook his head and said, "There are very few things I can do in the face of this powerful force, even if I wanted to destroy this object. Space-time would still develop according to its original direction. This is actually a paradox, I can never destroy space-time because I am ultimately a creature created by the higher creators!"
