Best Young Master

Hmm?

Within the Killing Array, Ye Fan was also momentarily dumbfounded.

He hadn’t expected this situation to arise, where the black sphere formed by Death Energy could actually restrain the Death Curse.

It’s known that this Death Curse, driven by life, is almost without solution; anyone subjected to it would have their life consumed by its power, leaving even the Divine Soul not spared.

Yet—

The power of the Death Curse was directly devoured by the black sphere, without even a splash!

The second leader of the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders died too unjustly. Originally, he believed that the Death Curse, fueled by all his Essence Blood and life, would surely obliterate Ye Fan. Unexpectedly, the outcome turned out this way.

After devouring the black light, the black sphere formed by Death Energy became even more crystal clear, faintly glowing with a dark purple light.

Inside Ye Fan’s body, Pure Yang Qi surged like a tide, quickly repairing the Primordial Life eroded and consumed by the Death Curse. A layer of holy light emanated from him.

Soon, his Dantian completely calmed down, with the Holy Embryo sitting at the very center, like a deity, yet it looked just like his own self.

Around the Holy Embryo, the eight Elemental Runes slowly rotated, flickering uncertainly. Above the Holy Embryo’s head, a black and white sphere chased each other, forming a perfect balance akin to Tai Chi.

Not far away, the golden Divine Tower’s brilliance dimmed, and its body was covered with cobweb-like cracks, as if it were a fine porcelain hammered hard, ready to shatter at any moment.

Ye Fan picked up the Divine Tower and urged the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown to quickly absorb the Divine Energy from the Divine Tower.

"Bang!"

As the Divine Energy drained away, the Divine Tower could no longer maintain its original shape, shattering with a bang into a pile of scrap metal.

After absorbing the Divine Energy from the Divine Tower, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown became even more radiant, yet there was still no sign of Elder Xuan awakening.

Ye Fan sighed, knowing that such matters could not be forced. Although the material of the Divine Tower contained massive Divine Energy, compared to an Emperor Weapon like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, it was still far too inadequate.

One is Divine Materials, the other is Immortal Materials; they are not even on the same level!

Immortal Materials are called so because they are born of Heaven and Earth, engraved with the Heaven and Earth Tao Markings, and are indestructible.

Only Immortal Materials can withstand the full power of a Great Emperor, otherwise, Holy Weapons refined from ordinary Divine Materials could not contain a Great Emperor’s vast Divine Power.

"Boom!"

The Killing Array boiled over, with occasional excited howls from the Bai Yan wolf.

Ye Fan didn’t linger. After the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown absorbed the energy from the Divine Tower, he immediately rushed to the center of the Killing Array.

At this time, only three out of the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders were struggling to hold on, the rest having been slaughtered by the Bai Yan wolf’s controlled Killing Array, filling the entire array with a tragic atmosphere!

How mighty are the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders?

They have crossed the most formidable Heavenly Road, invincible and brave, even startling the City Lord of the Human Clan’s First City.

Yet—

At this moment, they were extremely miserable, with tattered clothes, disheveled and filthy, bodies covered with blood, harshly carved up by the Bai Yan wolf like chopping radishes.

"Tremble, my pets. If you submit to this King, I shall grant you eternal life!"

Controling the Killing Array, the Bai Yan wolf sent a killing light as thick as a mountain ridge that obliterated one person, leaving him charred, trembling uncontrollably with limbs twitching like chicken claws.

"Damn beast..."

Lang Tianmang cursed. At this point, only he and the third and fourth of the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders remained, working together to wield a Forbidden Artifact, struggling to withstand the terrifying killing light within the Killing Array.

However, they couldn’t hold out much longer!

Especially when they saw Ye Fan reappear, they despaired instantly. Even with the Divine Tower, their second leader couldn’t break through, let alone them.

"Brother Ye, Emperor Ye, we have realized our mistake. We beg you to withdraw the Killing Array and spare our lives. We are willing to submit to you!"

Lang Tianmang, hair unkempt, body drenched in blood, appeared extremely distressed.

"Submit, hmm?"

Ye Fan coldly glanced at them, saying, "You’re not sincerely submitting, just trying to buy time!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan appeared before them like a streak of Flowing Light, flicking a finger, sending a Finger Beam piercing one’s forehead, killing him effortlessly!

"Ye, you will get your comeuppance. On this Heavenly Road, you’re far from invincible; stronger people await you ahead, and you’re just someone else’s stepping stone!"

Lang Tianmang raved madly, howling loudly, his sanity having collapsed.

"Perhaps, but you won’t live to see it!"

Ye Fan’s voice was calm, his expression indifferent, as he struck out, delivering an Immortal Stele Scattering Hand.

"Bang!"

The Forbidden Artifact shattered, flesh and blood splattered, and Lang Tianmang, the leader of the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders, was slapped into a paste by Ye Fan, his Divine Soul annihilated.

Soon after, Ye Fan struck again, killing the last member of the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders, leaving the entire battlefield bloody and chaotic, filled with a strong stench of blood.

Thus, the tyrants of the Xing Kong Gu Road, the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders, were completely wiped out, vanishing forever from this Ancient Road.

The Emperor Road is a pile of bones; they fell on the path of contention, becoming stepping stones for Ye Fan to advance to higher domains!

Finally, Ye Fan set a fire, burning the remains and fragments to ashes, the air filled with the scorched taste of burnt flesh.

Stars dotted the sky, and the moonlight was like water!

The battle continued until late at night, when Bai Yan wolf withdrew the Killing Array, and together with Ye Fan quickly left the area, continuing further into the depths of the Trial Arena.

"Ye, I’m exhausted and hungry, let’s find a place to rest and eat something!"

Three thousand miles away from the battlefield, Bai Yan wolf suggested to Ye Fan.

"Alright, we still have half a month, there’s no rush."

Ye Fan agreed readily.

After successive battles, burning Divine Power and Divine Soul several times, he also felt fatigue and needed a good rest to continue the trials in this arena.

Soon, they found a mountain hollow, a small stream snaked through it, the spring water gurgling, the environment exceptionally beautiful.

After igniting a bonfire, Bai Yan wolf dragged out the corpse of the Holy-level Jin Niu sacred beast and handed it over to Ye Fan for skinning and deboning.

"This time is definitely a bumper harvest, fifteen powerful Xuan Beasts, all now are our meal." Bai Yan wolf grinned widely with joy.

The Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders, each had a powerful mount, Bai Yan wolf did not smash them to pieces but preserved their bodies.

The blood and flesh of these Xuan Beasts contained vast amounts of Life Essence Energy, which was a great tonic for both Bai Yan wolf and Ye Fan, and was naturally not to be easily destroyed.

The mountain wind blew, the bonfire roared, and pieces of golden Xuan Beast meat were roasted over the fire, dripping fat causing sizzling sounds, and the hollow was filled with an enticing aroma of meat.

"Ye, after all this time, your roasting skills haven’t declined one bit!"

Bai Yan wolf said while munching on a golden piece of meat.

"Eat less, the Life Essence Energy contained in this flesh is overwhelming, be careful not to burst!"

Ye Fan glanced at Bai Yan wolf who was feasting and advised.

"Don’t worry, I know better than you, quick, bring the wine!" Bai Yan wolf said indistinctly while eating beside Ye Fan.

Ye Fan smiled slightly, took out two jars of fine wine from the Virtual Space, broke the clay seal, and a rich aroma seeped out.

This was a gift from the Lei Clan’s Clan Leader before his departure, no less than hundreds of jars, all thousand-year-old brews, few people could handle even a sniff without fainting.

"This is truly indulgent, Holy-level Xuan Beast meat! How many times in a lifetime can one eat this?"

Bai Yan wolf, slightly intoxicated, hugged a wine jar in contemplation.

Ye Fan also ate some, having burned Divine Power and Divine Soul several times, it was just right to replenish, without worrying about excessive Life Essence Energy.

The Jin Niu sacred beast’s meat was exceptionally chewy, a bite left a lingering flavor, and the surging Life Essence Energy was instantly absorbed and refined by Ye Fan.

The body of this Jin Niu was mountain-sized; if not for Ye Fan’s Virtual Space, he really couldn’t have stored so many Xuan Beast corpses.

This meal, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf consumed two thousand pounds of meat, with a large portion ending up in Ye Fan’s stomach, prompting complaints of unfairness from Bai Yan wolf.

However, Bai Yan wolf couldn’t eat any more, his body nearly bursting with Essence Qi, the whole wolf resembled a burning torch.

After eating and drinking, Ye Fan bathed in a pond downstream, washed away the bloodstains on his body, changed into clean clothes, and began to sit cross-legged, silently capturing and pondering the Primordial Law and Essence of Tao of this world.

This was the crucial task of this trial; if one couldn’t comprehend the world’s Primordial Law, the trial was considered a failure, not passing the test.

This time Bai Yan wolf didn’t slack off; it also knew the benefits of comprehending more of the world’s Origin and Heaven and Earth Tao Markings.

Ye Fan sat cross-legged on a smooth stone, his Consciousness immersed in the heavens and earth, seemingly merging with the whole world, able to sense every pulse of this realm.

Around the mountain hollow, some powerful Xuan Beasts were lurking, yet none attacked him, showing considerable caution.

At this moment, Ye Fan seemed truly united with the world, and within a thousand miles, nothing escaped his perception.

In this Trial Arena, others were doing the same or similar tasks, not only contending with the Xuan Beasts but also wary of competitors while comprehending the world’s Primordial Law and Heaven and Earth Tao Markings.

Early the next day, Ye Fan awoke from meditation, and along with Bai Yan wolf continued deeper into the Trial Arena,

convinced that there must be treasures at the center of the Trial Arena, and the natives wouldn’t deceive him, for there was no need.

The more desolate the place, the more likely it is to hold world-shaking treasures; it was almost a given rule.

Especially within such Trial Arenas, it was even more certain!
