Chapter 2267: Pan Gu Reappears

Li Yunhuo’s domineering attitude made Nuwa’s avatar very displeased, but she didn’t say much; after all, she was still in the middle of cultivation.

Li Yunhuo seemed to be still rambling on: “I really want to see what kind of body you have. Hmph, right now I’m just talking to a lump of air, this feeling is really annoying. But I suppose you’re almost about to die anyway!”

“I’m just one Spiritual Body of Nuwa. I will never have my own body. On that point, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you!” Nuwa’s avatar said.

“Hmph!” Li Yunhuo still seemed very angry, but he no longer argued with Nuwa’s avatar. After he left, Nuwa’s avatar was still extremely vexed.

Nuwa’s avatar seemed to mutter to herself: “Once I’ve absorbed all this power, I’ll kill you. Do you really think you’ll still have any value?”

Just as Nuwa’s avatar was about to continue cultivating, she felt a strange power approaching her, and she shouted angrily, “Who is it?”

“Who else could it be?” A strange voice came, and Nuwa’s avatar sensed that the other party was also a formless Spiritual Body like herself. The content of their speech was transmitted by a method unique to Spiritual Bodies.

“Who exactly are you?” Nuwa’s avatar felt extremely shocked. The other party’s cultivation seemed no weaker than hers, and was even higher. What was even more terrifying was that he was also a Spiritual Body. In her impression, in the entire universe, aside from Ye Fan, there was no one else with such cultivation. When she realized she had another enemy this formidable, her heart was distinctly tense.

At that moment, a figure appeared in front of Nuwa’s avatar. When Nuwa saw that cluster of mist‑like image, she wasn’t surprised; the other party didn’t even seem to have a humanoid form.

That person said, “What, it’s only been a short time and you already don’t remember me? Heh, back then it was you who completely destroyed my physical body.”

Nuwa’s avatar was utterly astonished. Only then did she realize she had run into a harbinger of doom, and this person should be Pan Gu, who had once cooperated with her, but whom she later believed she had killed.

“You!” Nuwa’s avatar, still in shock, spoke in an incredulous tone. “You’re Pan Gu?”

“What, seems unbelievable?” the other said. “The destruction of my physical body was nothing but part of my plan. I discovered my flesh had become my shackle. Only by becoming like you could I absorb power that originally belonged only to you. That was my greatest sacrifice.”

Nuwa’s avatar shouted angrily, “Bastard, stop acting mysterious in front of me. I don’t believe you’re Pan Gu!”

Finished speaking, Nuwa’s avatar directly attacked that clump of Spiritual Body. But in the same instant, the other party counterattacked. This counterattack was extremely powerful. The two instantly launched into a battle—one decided purely by their cultivation. In an instant, the outcome was decided. Nuwa’s avatar had thought she absolutely couldn’t lose, but in the end she was disappointed; she lost so completely there was no room for dispute.

“Women really are irrational. You attack me like this—you’re not afraid Ye Fan will notice? Heh, luckily I blocked off this power. Otherwise, you and I would both end up with no grave to be buried in!”

As he spoke, a powerful barrier formed around them, but immediately afterward, he seemed to sense his own danger.

“Move!” that person said. “Let’s get to a safe place first, then I’ll discuss cultivation with you. If you dare struggle in front of me, I’ll make sure you’re completely annihilated!”

…

…

In an instant, Nuwa’s avatar was controlled by that person, and the two left their original location directly.

Almost at the same time, Ye Fan appeared at the spot with Xi He and Leizu, but right now Ye Fan didn’t detect any trace of those two Spiritual Bodies.

Xi He sensed the surrounding space but didn’t feel any strange power. She asked, “Why has Master come here?”

“You can’t sense it, but I know there was a battle here earlier. The outcome must have already been decided before I arrived,” Ye Fan said.

“How is that possible? A battle here? Why is there not a single trace?” Leizu said. “If there was a battle, not to mention Xi He, I would have felt it. This is Earth—if anyone fought here at their level of cultivation, they would instantly destroy the Earth before us!”

Xi He said, “Although I didn’t sense anything, I trust that Master’s judgment can’t be wrong.”

“Mm.” Ye Fan nodded slightly. “If I’m wrong, that would only mean my cultivation still isn’t enough. But right now, your cultivation is still far below mine. I’m not saying this casually. This was a battle between two Spiritual Bodies, and the intensity was extremely high. The result was decided in an instant. One of the Spiritual Bodies was even stronger than I’d imagined—he actually managed to block off the aura of the battle. That was something I didn’t foresee.”

Xi He looked very tense. “Then Master means that one of the combatants here must have been Nuwa’s avatar, right?”

“Mm.” Ye Fan nodded. “But unfortunately, she was the one who lost. Doesn’t that strike you as even more unbelievable? With her cultivation, there should have been no reason for her to lose to anyone but me.”

“That’s true. I can’t imagine who she could have lost to. Nor do I know why she would show up here,” Xi He still looked somewhat nervous as she spoke.

Ye Fan said, “Isn’t that easy to explain? The one who beat her is someone I’ve been pondering and assessing for a long time—someone who was defeated by Nuwa’s avatar, but only his physical body was defeated, while his Soul Body was fully preserved.”

Xi He looked very worried. “Master is talking about Pan Gu?”

“He’s not that easy to kill. I’d already thought of that,” Ye Fan said. “The power you absorbed is merely Pan Gu’s external Spiritual Energy. That kind of power has no meaning anymore when it comes to opposing me. So Pan Gu carried out this ‘shedding the cicada shell’. If I’m right, Nuwa’s avatar must have obtained an extremely advanced cultivation method from Li Yunhuo, and Pan Gu came this time because he wants to take that method for himself.”

Leizu said, “You say that, but do you have any evidence?”

“What Master says is law. Do we still need evidence?” Xi He said. “You should feel fortunate—if Master wasn’t on Earth, then with Nuwa’s avatar’s cultivation, killing you and me would be effortless. I’ve already witnessed how powerful she is. Master really should resolve this trouble as soon as possible.”
