Chapter 2285 Insistent On Seeking Death
As Ye Fan uttered these words, his feet gradually lifted off the ground. Step by step, he ascended
the stairs, drawing nearer to Chu Qitian''s location. As Ye Fan approached Chu Qitian, his body
gradually became bigger before thetter, and Ye Fan''s once feeble aura began to surge steadily.
As Chu Qitian noticed the shift in Ye Fan''s aura, a look of surprise crossed his face.
“You... you''ve been concealing your true strength all along?” Upon hearing Chu Qitian''s remark, a
faint smile adorned Ye Fan''s handsome face. That was a smile of sessful execution, exuding
pride and confidence, a clear indication that everything was under control.
“Did you only just realize that now? I must say, you''re quite arrogant. You were so overconfident that
you only now notice my true strength.”
Ye Fan shook his head with disappointment as he spoke. Throughout history, it had been evident
that arrogant armies were bound to face defeat. From the very start, Chu Qitian underestimated Ye
Fan. He had simply regarded Ye Fan as a persistent nuisance, someone difficult to eliminate due to
their strong resilience. So, throughout the entire encounter, Chu Qitian never granted Ye Fan
enough attention or recognition. Previously, Ye Fan''s resistance was simply regarded by Chu Qitian
as a desperate struggle, an ineffectual attempt to fight back from a position of weakness.
However, unbeknownst to him, the battle that had just taken ce was actually a meticulously
nned setup by Ye Fan, all leading up to this pivotal moment.
“Symborsus, you are undeniably strong, incredibly strong. Throughout all these years, I can
confidently say that you are the most formidable opponent I have ever encountered. If we had
engaged in a no-holds-barred, life-or-death battle right from the start, the one who would have
emerged defeated would undoubtedly have been me,” said Ye Fan.
“However, you made a fatal mistake. That mistake was underestimating and belittling me, Chu
Tianfan! If you had unleashed your full strength against me from the beginning, I might have been
defeated and resting in Mount Kransbay by now. But you didn''t. You chose to hold back, using only
the power you deemed necessary to confront me. Your intention was to conserve your strength for
climbing Celestial Road. However, little did you know that your restrained attack was the very
opening I needed. It gave me the opportunity to catch my breath and regain my strength.”
Ye Fan''s words were profound, and in his deep, captivating eyes, a flicker of distant and chilling
light gleamed. He resembled a colossal dragon perched atop a towering mountain, its gaze fixated
on the distant horizon.
Indeed, both Symborsus and Ye Fan had held back their true power in the previous battle. For the
most part, Ye Fan had relied on Raijin Thunderdrake, passively enduring the attacks. While
enduring the onught, Ye Fan''s body frantically circted the power of Celestial Cloud, drawing
strength and concealing his true abilities. Of course, in the midst of all this, Ye Fan also skillfully
employed the Nine Steps of Yunyang to gradually drain Chu Qitian''s strength. Indeed, in the midst
of this simultaneous growth and decline, the disparity in strength between Ye Fan and Symborsus
was gradually closing.
Up until this moment, Ye Fan sensed that the time for his counterattack had finally arrived. It was
also the moment tomence the ultimate showdown. Ye Fan''s words reverberated through
Celestial Road. While listening to Ye Fan''s words, Chu Qitian''s expression turned increasingly
grave. Eventually, as Ye Fan ended his sentence, the raging fury within Chu Qitian transformed into
an icy coldness, apanied by a surging wave of murderous intent.
“You insolent brat! How dare you scheme against me and y mind games! But do you honestly
believe that your deceitful tactics alone can defeat me? Let me make it clear to you: even if you
have a myriad of schemes, in the face of absolute power, you are nothing but a speck of dust. Your
unconventional methods are no match for my overwhelming strength! The only purpose they serve
is to dy your inevitable defeat.”
Chu Qitian''s voice turned cold as ice, its resonance echoing like a thunderous p.
“Indeed? Then let us engage in battle and witness the oue.”
Ye Fan''s expression was calm when he spoke. On his handsome face, there was no hint of
apprehension or trepidation. On the contrary, there was an unprecedented serenity. He resembled a
deep pool and a dried well, unaffected by even the fiercest storm, with no ripples disturbing his inner
calm. One might wonder if it was due to self-confidence or the certainty of victory being within
reach. However, none of those were the correct answer.
Symborsus had a valid point earlier; in the grand scheme of true power, Ye Fan''s tricks amounted to
nothing more than minor techniques. The sole benefit of his techniques was to slightly tip the scales
of victory in his favor. For Ye Fan, the oue of victory or defeat, life or death, still remained
unknown.
Even in the current situation, the chances of victory for Ye Fan were quite slim, to be honest. Before
the battle, Duanmu Wan''er had already alerted Ye Fan about Symborsus and his existence beyond
their realm of life, and those beings from other realms possessed extraordinary power and strength
that surpassed the boundaries of normalcy.
Hence, she warned Ye Fan that if he chose to challenge it for the Sky Gate, there was a high
probability that the battle that night would be Ye Fan''s final one. That was also the reason why
Duanmu Wan''er hesitated to let Ye Fan face the danger alone. However, despite all these warnings
and dangers, Ye Fan remained resolute and chose to ascend Celestial Road without any hesitation!
He disregarded the possibility that this could be his final battle, or that there might be no chance of
survival.
He believed that taking a risk and fighting for a chance was better than passively awaiting death. In
Ye Fan''s life, he had already experienced significant losses and sacrifices. Therefore, this time, he
was determined not to lose Angie or anyone else important to him.
“You seem determined to invite your own destruction, huh? Chu Tianfan, are you truly certain about
this? If you choose to retreat now, even after I unlock the Sky Gate, I can guarantee that you won''t
be harmed in the least! Moreover, I assure you that I won''t encroach upon your Jiangdong territory
or meddle with China in any way!”
It appeared that Symborsus was unwilling to take the risk of battling against Ye Fan at the cost of its
own life. After all, Symborsus believed that these inferior and contemptible Earthlings were not
deserving of it risking its own life. Moreover, it wanted to save its strength to open Sky Gate.
So, at present, Symborsus was doing everything in its power to avoid engaging in a fight with Ye
Fan. Ye Fan chuckled and remarked, “Don''t you think it''s a bit redundant to keep asking these
questions at this stage?”
“Very well!” Chu Qitian sneered.

“If you''re so eager to meet your demise, Chu Tianfan, then I shall fulfill your wish today! Even if it
means abandoning my pursuit of ascending Celestial Road and unlocking Sky Gate, I will ensure
that you meet your end!”
Huff...
The fierce wind howled, and its sound resonated through the air. The Symborsus before Ye Fan''s
eyes was finally consumed by anger, its fury reaching its peak. Without holding anything back, the
Symborsus unleashed its full power at that moment. Meanwhile, everyone witnessed Chu Qitian''s
once slender figure rapidly expanding in a terrifying manner. Veins and blood vessels, resembling
coiling pythons, surfaced on his body.
The once human skin was now adorned with patches of blood-red scales, resembling the scales of
a dragon. The ancient and mysterious sound of the chant resonated with even greater intensity,
rolling and echoing throughout the surroundings.
After a millennium, Symborsus finally bared its sharp fangs once again, ready to unleash its true
power. A battle that spanned across millenniamenced, once again unfurling between the Chu
family and Symborsus. The final battle was finally about to begin.
At this moment, the entire world was enveloped in silence. Ye Qingtian fell silent, and his
companions, Aaron, Carlo, and the rest, joined him in wordless contemtion as they stared into
the distance. In Jiangdong, figures like Li Er and Lei Lao San stood in awe, their eyes fixed on the
distant scene, filled with deep admiration. Inside the Chu residence, Grand Old Lady Chu clung
tightly to Chu Lin, holding him in her arms and cherishing the son left behind by Ye Fan in this world.
Tang Yun''s eyes were filled with tears, causing them to turn a flushed red. Within her tearful gaze,
the reflection of a slender figure could be seen.
In Yanjing, tears streamed down Xu Lei''s face uncontrobly. She was in rage! She despised her
own ipetence! She resented the fact that every time Ye Fan confronted a life-or-death
situation, all she could do was stand by and watch.
What she despised, even more, was the cruel hand of fate that dictated their lives. She constantly
questioned herself, wondering why it always fell upon Ye Fan''s shoulders to face the cmities
alone. She also wondered why some people were born into lives offort, wealth, and glory, while
Ye Fan had to endure a tragic background and a lifetime of hardships and suffering.
In India, Noa asked with a choked voice, “Junie, Ye Fan will win, right?”
Junie''s beautiful eyes brimmed with concern, but she nodded through teary eyes and said, “Yes, he
will surely emerge victorious.”
Even though the battle had not yetmenced, the mere presence of certain individuals in the face
of the impending storm was enough to bring tears to others'' eyes. Simply because behind him, the
lives of billions of people were at stake. It was also because he stood at the forefront of life and
death, fighting for the sake of all humanity.
