Chapter 2215 - 2211: A Battle with an Uncertain Outcome

Pan Gu asked himself if his cultivation was surely above Nuwa’s avatar, so he remained calm in the face of her provocation.

But he quickly realized that perhaps due to the severe injuries inflicted by Ye Fan, or maybe because Nuwa’s avatar’s cultivation had accelerated, or he had underestimated Nuwa’s avatar from the start. In confronting this avatar, he found he couldn’t even grasp the basic initiative.

"What’s going on?" Upon discovering this situation, Pan Gu was indeed taken by surprise, and it was a catastrophic blow for him.

When Pan Gu attempted to employ some methods to battle against Nuwa’s avatar, he found his cultivation was astonishingly depleting.

Nuwa’s avatar smugly said, "Now you realize you’re not the same Pan Gu as before? With your current state, it makes little difference if you’re powerless; even if I don’t kill you now, you’d slowly deplete and die!"

"Arrogant ignorance!" Pan Gu retorted fiercely.

"Now, the arrogant ignorant is you, Pan Gu. Do you truly believe you still have the same status and power as before, able to dominate everything? Even without Ye Fan, you’d still fall from your pedestal. It’s the cosmic law, just like my power can separate from Nuwa, do you think your power won’t develop consciousness?" Nuwa’s avatar replied.

Suddenly, Pan Gu’s body trembled, recalling that he had considered this issue long ago but hadn’t paid sufficient attention then, because no one could threaten his position.

Now, after Ye Fan’s rise, he found that his cultivation often slipped out of his control.

Initially, he thought the injuries from battling Ye Fan led to the current outcome, but now he seemed to understand his cultivation had reached a stage of exhaustion, beginning to develop a consciousness escaping his body and forming small forces.

"What? Realize I’m right, and you’re starting to worry?" Nuwa’s avatar laughed. "Even if you realize now, it’s too late. I must absorb your power now to truly confront Ye Fan. Pan Gu, your end is here!"

After speaking, Nuwa’s avatar seemed unwilling to give Pan Gu more time to think. She began her attack on Pan Gu, aiming to penetrate the cultivation boundary with her power.

When she struck, she realized she had underestimated Pan Gu’s cultivation ability.

Pan Gu also exerted all his strength to clash with Nuwa’s avatar, and suddenly, a loud roaring sound echoed through the universe. The mighty force enveloped Pan Gu and Nuwa’s avatar, forming a force ripple felt throughout the cosmos.

...

...

Initially, Ye Fan’s target was to find Fu Xi and Nuwa first, believing their cultivation levels relatively lower, making them easier to tackle.

But just as he was about to find them, the collision between Pan Gu and Nuwa’s avatar occurred, like a signal making Ye Fan aware of their existence and realizing they were battling, seemingly with the intent to lure him over.

"Since you’ve come to me, I won’t be polite!"

Thinking of this, Ye Fan headed directly to the explosion site, and upon arrival, discovered the battle had ended instantly.

The surrounding dark star region was close to the universe’s center, where stars were scarce due to cosmic explosions dispersing nearly all matter. The internal core’s power was minimal.

Ye Fan aimed to find Pan Gu and Nuwa’s avatar, believing it an easy task, but upon further search, they were nowhere to be found.

"This battle was clearly for power. Regardless of Pan Gu or the avatar’s victory, neither should have fled without a trace. Could they both have perished in this clash?"

Ye Fan felt puzzled. The remaining strength showed the explosion’s significant impact, implying this battle was intense.

Pan Gu and Nuwa’s avatar were top-tier cultivators in the universe; even Fu Xi at his peak wasn’t a match for Nuwa’s avatar.

Yet after such a clash, they both disappeared, leading Ye Fan to suspect a critical factor had been overlooked.

"What’s truly happening?" Ye Fan continued searching, attempting to trace some clues, but finding it difficult to progress.

Simultaneously, a powerful energy entity approached, recognized as Nuwa’s original form, who appeared several times before Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan, you’re here too? You... you’ve truly returned. Previously, you almost obliterated the universe!" Nuwa was also wounded but not in life-threatening danger, clearly coming to search for her avatar.

Ye Fan glanced at Nuwa and asked, "Where’s Fu Xi?"

"I don’t need to know his whereabouts. I have no direct relation with him," Nuwa replied. "Ye Fan, you’ve sensed this battle, so surely you know my purpose here?"

"I don’t wish to know your purpose. Mine is to root out any ancient cultivators threatening me, and since you’ve come to me, it saves me trouble," Ye Fan countered, attacking Nuwa without giving her a chance.

Nuwa angered but was no match for Ye Fan. As his strength restrained her, she questioned, "Ye Fan, weren’t you against Pan Gu? He’s your biggest enemy now, why dispute with me?"

"Why shouldn’t I dispute with you? You and Pan Gu are both dangerous to me. Along with Fu Xi, you three constructed the original cultivation world order. To ensure my survival, I must subdue you!" Ye Fan responded. "I don’t need to explain anything further; from now on, I’ll temporarily imprison you... Be grateful I won’t kill you immediately!"

"Then kill me! I don’t need others’ sympathy. You, a mere human, dare disrupt the heavens. If I escape, I’ll unite with Pan Gu to kill you!" Nuwa declared angrily.
