Best Young Master

"This brother, please wait!"

Seeing the young man turn to leave, Ye Fan hurriedly spoke to halt him.

Just kidding, he still had a lot of questions he hadn’t had the chance to ask. If he left like this, who would he ask?

"Do you still have something?" The young man from the Lei Clan stopped in his tracks and turned to ask Ye Fan.

"May I ask how to address you, brother?"

Ye Fan decided to first build some rapport, and then slowly ask his questions. He had many, and it was impossible to ask them all at once.

"My name is Lei Bao. If you don’t have anything else, I need to get back."

Lei Bao seemed eager to leave, after all, he had a minor elixir tucked in his arms and felt a bit uneasy because he couldn’t gauge Ye Fan’s depth, fearing he might snatch his Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus.

"Brother Lei, what is the relationship between your Lei Clan and the Thunder Venerable master? Are you his descendants by any chance?" Ye Fan first asked the biggest question lingering in his heart.

Judging from the abundant Thunder Power within Lei Bao, it was clear he must have cultivated the Thunderclap Treasure Skill; otherwise, it would be impossible to have such terrifying Thunder Power within his body.

It could be said that the Thunder Power within him was from the same root and source, very similar.

He believed that the Lei Clan was highly likely to be a branch left in this world by the Thunder Venerable master, or even the direct lineage.

Because on Linxian Ancient Star, the Thunder Venerable master only left disciples, without any descendants, wasn’t that strange?

Judging by his power, if he had left bloodlines, it would definitely be an enormous clan comparable to the Di Clan, or perhaps he would have established a Holy Land.

However—

On Linxian Ancient Star, there was only the Thunder Venerable master’s tomb, and no bloodline left behind, or perhaps he left his legacy somewhere on this Ancient Star, who knows?

"What Thunder Venerable master? I don’t know, there’s no such thing as a Thunder Venerable master, but our Lei Clan’s Great Elder is indeed in the Venerable Realm." Lei Bao looked at Ye Fan and Bai Yan Wolf with some surprise.

"I see."

Ye Fan nodded, then continued to ask, "Isn’t the Thunderbolt Aura the bane of Death Aura? Why is there still such strong Death Aura on this Ancient Star? Additionally, two years ago, did a group pass through here; when did they leave? How long has it been?"

"You better ask our Great Elder these questions, I don’t know. Alright, I’m leaving, good luck!" Lei Bao seemed a bit impatient, and with that final remark, he turned and left.

After taking a few steps, he turned back to Ye Fan and Bai Yan Wolf and said, "One last piece of advice, Death Creatures are not easy to kill, they’re very tricky, and you might lose your life; also, never venture deep into the Death Zone, or you’ll surely die. In the depths of the Death Zone, there are powerful beings that you cannot defeat. Take care of yourselves!"

After saying this, Lei Bao didn’t linger any longer, utilizing his movement technique, he turned into a small black dot and quickly disappeared on the horizon.

"What should we do?"

Bai Yan Wolf and Ye Fan looked at each other.

"Surely, the Lei Clan has something to do with the Supreme Being, I can feel it, their bloodline must carry the mark of a Supreme Being!" Bai Yan Wolf said confidently.

Having followed the Thunder Venerable master for many years, it was very familiar with the Venerable master’s aura, and it could sense the operational path of the Thunder Power within Lei Bao.

"I know, I’m asking you, what should we do now? Should we go directly to the Great Elder of the Lei Clan, or go hunt Death Creatures?" Ye Fan said.

"Let’s follow customary practice, go and hunt the Death Creatures first. Isn’t it just each person killing one Death Creature? There’s nothing we can’t handle, right? If we don’t follow their rules, even if we find them, we won’t be allowed on the Transmission Altar; if they destroy the altar in anger, we’ll be completely helpless."

Bai Yan Wolf was surprisingly serious for once, not behaving recklessly just because it had once followed the Thunder Venerable master.

After traversing an area dense with Thunderbolt Aura, Ye Fan and Bai Yan Wolf quickly reached the edge of the Death Zone.

Just a line divides them, yet they are two completely different worlds.

The Death Zone was filled with Death Aura, neither bright nor completely dark, enveloped by dim, ribbon-like black mist, as if entering a Death Realm.

Heavy leaden clouds hung like mountains in the sky, filling every inch of space, completely shutting out this world from sunlight, moonlight, and stars.

This was a black-and-white world devoid of any brilliant colors, just the dimmest evening, the ground covered in bones of unknown depth, everywhere scattered with Bone Powder.

How many had died to create such a terrifying scene?

Ye Fan was unsure; within this Death Zone, no flesh-and-blood creature could be seen, only white bones moving about in the distance, ghostly flames flickering in their skulls, dark and ghastly.

"Damn, it’s really eerie—they’re just skeletons and not quite dead yet!" Bai Yan Wolf muttered, shrinking its neck.

This was the nature of Death Creatures, otherwise, they wouldn’t be called as such!

The two ventured deep into the Death Zone, and any Death Creature daring to attack them was shattered by Ye Fan with one punch.

These were merely minions among the Death Creatures, hardly true Death Creatures, and after slaying them, nothing remained but a ground covered in Bone Powder.

"What kind of world is this!"

They walked a great distance, yet the ground was still paved with white bones, seemingly endless; everything they saw remained a vast, boundless expanse of white!

Ye Fan couldn’t help but be astonished; it was too terrifying. Even if this were an Ancient Star of Life, annihilated, it couldn’t possibly have so many skeletons—how did they form?

"Zing!"

Suddenly, a spectral light pierced forth, shattering this vast sky, like an ocean slicing through—it was a black Bone Spear imbued with a vast Death Aura.

With a flick of his fingers, Ye Fan sent forth a Divine Radiance that shattered the Bone Spear, after which he saw a black figure standing atop a bone mountain not far ahead, howling at the sky, different from other white bones, resounding and deafening.

```

All around, many skeletal creatures kneeled together, worshiping him, trembling in fear, unable to move under the oppressive power of death.

"Death creature at the Mid-stage of the Lord Realm?"

Ye Fan’s eyes shot out two dragon-shaped beams, seeing through the strength of this death creature.

In the same realm, no one could hide their strength in front of him, not even death creatures.

"Is this the original Divine Sense or a rebirth after ultimate death?"

Ye Fan swept a gaze over the ghost fire within the skulls of all the death creatures.

Life is the greatest miracle in the world, incomprehensible, uncreatable, filled with mystery.

Bai Yan Wolf followed behind Ye Fan, silent, its white fur bristling, watching the black death creature with a menacing gaze, sensing a threat.

"Awooo..."

The black death creature slapped a palm towards Ye Fan and Bai Yan Wolf, the thick Death Aura condensed into a giant palm, like a Beast Claw, covering the sky.

Whoosh!

Ye Fan charged without fear, meeting the slap with an Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi quickly condensed into a palm larger than the one formed by the Death Aura, smashing into it fiercely.

"Boom!"

A loud noise swept across a thousand miles, many death creatures were caught in the aftermath of this strike, instantly turning into bone powder, dissipating into the heavens and earth.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan punched out, completely shattering the body of the death creature, the terrifying death aura could do nothing to him and was instead absorbed by him in a significant amount.

Then, Ye Fan cracked the neck bone of the death creature, snapping it off and removing its skull.

"Spare me..."

In Ye Fan’s sea of consciousness, he received such a message, astonishing him that this death creature was begging for mercy.

Do death creatures still have consciousness? How exactly are they formed?

Ye Fan carefully examined the black skull for a long time, peeling a trace of life imprint from the faint ghost fire, which was the embodiment of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

"The great Secret Technique of Life..."

Ye Fan observed the Soul Fire of this Mid-stage Lord Realm death creature, gaining a lot, finally pointing out a finger, extinguishing the opponent’s Soul Fire.

"You are already dead, let me free you completely!"

Afterward, Ye Fan also learned from the Soul Fire of this Mid-stage Lord Realm death creature that upon slaying a death creature, a Soul Pearl would drop, which contained the essence of the death creature.

Ye Fan waved his big hand, directly dispersing the bone powder on the ground, with a gesture, hundreds of Soul Pearls were drawn to him, varying in size, showing that the strength of the death creatures just killed varied.

Lei Bao did not mention how to prove it after killing ten death creatures, it seemed he believed that Ye Fan and Bai Yan Wolf would find the Soul Pearls themselves.

At the same time, when exterminating that Lord Realm death creature, Ye Fan discovered a shocking fact.

In the central region of this vast Death Realm, there was an incredibly powerful death creature of the Venerable Realm, instilling fear in all the kings within the Death Realm, never daring to approach.

Ye Fan decided to investigate, believing that as long as he was not discovered by that Venerable Realm death creature, it should be safe, as he did not regard ordinary Lord Realm death creatures.

"Are you crazy? Why provoke it, anyway we’ve already exceeded our mission, let’s just head to the Lei Clan and traverse the void to leave this ghostly place!"

Upon learning of Ye Fan’s plan, Bai Yan Wolf jumped up in shock, for a Venerable Realm death creature was no trifling matter.

But in the end, it couldn’t persuade Ye Fan otherwise, begrudgingly following behind towards the center of the Death Zone.

Ye Fan flew forward, concealing his aura well, but each area he passed, he would encounter a particularly strong Bone Spirit, though he managed to pass without conflict, narrowly escaping danger.

Soon after, he saw in the distance a sky-high black mist, a giant stele standing tall, shadows flickering around, with many spectral shadows, like ghosts—another form of life, without thought, without emotion, wandering aimlessly in this place.

"These are the ghosts spoken of by mortals, mere electromagnetic fields, how are there so many in this area, without spiritual communication."

Ye Fan approached, coming before the massive stele, seriously observing the ancient characters carved on it, seeing clearly four large words, strong and forceful: Trespassers Die!

This was a warning, and even more so, a deterrence!

Standing in front of this stele, an overwhelming death aura surged, making one feel like a floating duckweed in the sea, ready to be crushed by waves at any moment.

Ye Fan did not venture further, but quietly withdrew from the Death Zone with Bai Yan Wolf.

For he faintly sensed a dreadful pressure, as if that Venerable Realm death creature had discovered him.

After exiting the Death Zone, Ye Fan took Bai Yan Wolf and headed towards the Lei Clan tribe.
