Chapter 957: Today, No Killing of Mortals—Only Gods Will Fall!
Ye Wanlan was indeed in seclusion, but her divine sense was constantly observing the land and Atlantis.
Suddenly, Supreme Wisdom appeared in full human form, which made Ye Wanlan realize that the Time Administration Bureau must have sent someone here.
Yet, due to certain reasons, the high-ranking members of the Time Administration Bureau still couldn't enter this world, so they reshaped Supreme Wisdom's body and granted him greater power.
Ye Wanlan was in seclusion, sculpting bodies for Xie Linyuan and several others, and indeed could not forcibly emerge from it.
Because the power of Heaven and Earth, Yin Yang, and the Five Elements was ultimate, too vast, requiring someone to continuously guide and channel it.
Otherwise, once these three powers explode, they could destroy the entire land.
This was also the reason Ye Wanlan couldn't come out immediately.
She first temporarily controlled these three ultimate powers and then used Penglai Magic to conjure a clone to guard in her stead.
The clone possessed half of her strength; though it couldn't continue to guide and channel the three ultimate powers, it could maintain their balance and stability.
Miraculously, the Master of Highest Heaven Tower and King of Yan, two unparalleled dragons among men, chose silence after hearing Ye Wanlan's words.
"..."
After the silence, they exchanged glances and continued to remain silent.
Fan Jingtian's expression grew more grim: "You've become stronger again!"
He could naturally feel the power of Ye Wanlan's sword strike just now.
If that sword were to fight him, the High Priest, it wouldn't take three rounds for him to be defeated.
But, how could this be?
He didn't belong to this world, came from a higher dimension, hence had more powerful strength.
Ye Wanlan, born of this world, even if she was strong, shouldn't transcend the limits of this world.
"Since I knew you would regain your strength, how could I stand still?" Ye Wanlan's expression was indifferent, "Brother, Tingting, we three join forces, kill him!"
Yan Tingfeng and He Jia nodded and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahahahaha kill me?" As if hearing something extremely amusing, Fan Jingtian laughed aloud, "I have the gifts and empowerment from the Time Administration Bureau; what do you have to kill me?"
Even if they could defeat him, they couldn't kill him, which was his absolute confidence.
Ye Wanlan was unhurried: "I have witnessed the power of the Sword and Saber Unification; why not try again with sound and spear?"
Behind her, the Primordial Lost Sound Zither, Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither, and Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither slowly rose.
In the next second, an astonishing scene occurred!
These three zithers began to dismantle silently; the strings and bodies separated, swiftly recomposing into an immensely large Seven-stringed Zither!
"Roar!"
"Screech——"
It seemed as though dragon and phoenix calls resonated in the wind, the brilliance of the sun and moon interlaced, sketching out a grand epic of prosperity.
And behind this massive Seven-stringed Zither was Ye Wanlan's resplendent supreme Dharma form.
The woman's long hair reached her waist, crowned with a diadem, and her garments embroidered with dragon patterns and phoenix motifs, exuding divine grace.
This scene inevitably reminded one of a year documented in history books, where Princess Yongning celebrated with the people at a palace banquet, playing the pipa atop a high tower, a piece of "Pure and Simple Melody" famed across eternity.
She told everyone she could be beautiful, elegant, wield a sword, fight, and also become an emperor.
She could do anything she desired, become anyone she wished, unbound by rules.
"Zheng!"
The zither sound suddenly rang out, and killing intent arose!
It seemed as though the sound of Tie Ma clashing with thunder galloped in, magnificent and earth-shattering.
This solemn prelude, however, was not the first-ranked among the ten ancient zither pieces of Shenzhou, "Battle-Breaking Music," but a new tune, solely attacking without defending.
The ultimate killer move in martial arts was always to harm oneself by eight hundred to kill the enemy by a thousand.
This zither sound interrupted Fan Jingtian's spellcasting, and like haunting music piercing the ear, it almost caused his head to explode.
It was in this split second of distraction that both Yan Tingfeng's saber and He Jia's sword arrived.
"Rip——!"
The sound of flesh being torn echoed once more.
This time, Fan Jingtian lost three fingers on his right hand.
Had he not promptly guarded his mind, his entire right arm would have been crippled.
"Again!" Ye Wanlan raised her brows, "Don't worry; he can't perform time reversal now!"
This statement drastically changed Fan Jingtian's expression: "You..."
Yet he also realized that since Ye Wanlan's appearance, his control over time had begun to weaken, as if restricted by something.
"You misjudged one thing," Ye Wanlan said lightly, "You may restrict time criminals, but I am not considered a criminal."
After killing a Time Judge, just a few days ago, she finally managed to integrate the various powers within her body.
Now, she possessed the same abilities as a Time Judge.
Ye Wanlan did not give Fan Jingtian a chance to counterattack, swinging a spear.
"Boom!"
"Time Barrier!" Fan Jingtian shouted fiercely.
Golden light arose, swiftly enveloping him.
Yet, after the spear fell, a crack unexpectedly appeared on this golden light!
This finally stirred panic within Fan Jingtian.
Ye Wanlan maintained her calm: "Again."
The zither sound grew more rapid, and the attack came once more!
"Crack!"
Another new crack appeared!

"Heh... You think killing me will prevent the ultimate day from arriving?" Fan Jingtian was extremely angry, and his expression twisted, "Let me tell you, the ultimate day is the god's seven-day apocalypse! Killing me changes nothing!"
The decision of the Time Administration Bureau is not something a small world can alter.
Who knew, upon hearing this, Ye Wanlan did not even furrow her brow, her expression was serene: "It doesn't matter."
"Boom!"
She attacked again, more cracks appeared on the barrier.
"Ye Wanlan! The master favors you and instructed repeatedly to make sure to bring you alive to see him." Fan Jingtian panted and stared intently at her, "Such a close opportunity to touch a god, do you really not want it?"
Despite his words, his eyes were filled with intense killing intent.
"God?" Ye Wanlan faintly smiled, "Only pseudo-gods insist they are gods."
"Ye Wanlan!" Fan Jingtian was both shocked and furious, "The Battle of Ten Thousand Armies will inevitably come again! If we agree today, I could help shield you from those enemies, killing me will ensure Shenzhou's doom!"
He knew Shenzhou was Ye Wanlan's bottom line, thus offering this exchange, confident she couldn't refuse.
However, what Fan Jingtian had not anticipated was that even after saying this, he still couldn't sway Ye Wanlan's decision.
"So what?" Ye Wanlan said coldly, "To expel the external threats, internal peace must first be achieved, that's my principle!"
Today, I will not kill humans, only slay gods!
