Best Young Master

The Forbidden Land was filled with killing intent, shrouded in bands of black clouds, and demon energy surged to the heavens.

In the entire Forbidden Land, except for the Demon Clan’s Saint trapped by the Law Chains, there were no other creatures, not even Xuan Beasts, it was completely dead silent.

Great Emperor!

A title that crushed through eternity, pressured the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, representing the ultimate combat power that humans could achieve, sweeping through the Three Thousand Worlds invincible.

An Emperor Weapon is an alternative continuation of a Great Emperor’s life, even if it’s broken, it’s worth breaking your head just to fight for it!

To possess an Emperor Weapon is like owning half the legacy of this Great Emperor, fully capable of founding an immortal Holy Land.

Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor!

This is a name that shocks eternity, proving Dao successfully in the most unlikely environment, his combat power is definitely stronger than Great Emperors who proved Dao in Ancient Times.

Legend has it that the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor has never been defeated, he can suppress strong people at the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Layer Heaven with one hand, and can even destroy alternative pathfinders with combat power not inferior to Great Emperors.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown is his Emperor Weapon, also a symbol of his identity, it once intimidated the entire era, with strong people from countless Star Domains bowing and worshiping.

The City Lord naturally cannot fail to recognize this Emperor Weapon.

Likewise, he knows that the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor’s surname is definitely not Ye, but Ling, yet at this moment, the Emperor Weapon symbolizing the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor’s identity has fallen into the hands of a Little Cultivator surnamed Ye.

To him, it must be that the legacy of the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor has declined; otherwise, they would never allow their ancestor’s Emperor Weapon to fall into another’s hands!

Since the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor’s legacy has declined to the point where even a Mid-Stage of Lord Realm Little Cultivator can obtain their Emperor Weapon, there is nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, the City Lord of Human Clan’s First City had a fierce gleam flash in his eyes, discreetly nodded, and instructed his son Pang Xie with divine consciousness: "You wait here for us, do not approach, I will hold off the Demon King while Xu Kun retrieves the Emperor Weapon, once we have it, withdraw immediately to a safe area, I will leisurely spend my time dealing with them!"

"Father, be careful!"

Although Pang Xie is arrogant and reckless, he is very concerned about his father; with his father around, no one in the Human Clan’s First City dares to disrespect him. Should anything happen to his father, he would be doomed.

Over the years, he has offended many people, nearly the entire clan within the Human Clan’s First City, and without his father’s protection, he would be unlikely to leave the city alive.

"Don’t worry! Your father will be fine!"

The City Lord of Human Clan’s First City felt warmth in his heart, heavily patted Pang Xie’s shoulder, and turned to his trusted general, saying: "Follow me; I will hold off the Demon King, you go fetch the Emperor Weapon!"

The City Lord’s confidant nodded and followed him towards the center of the Forbidden Zone, a powerful aura suddenly spread!

In the Virtual Space, Ye Fan quietly sat at the entrance, although the time flow rate between Virtual Space and reality differed, he could sense movements in reality.

The Bai Yan wolf had tough skin and strong resistance, although it was sent flying dozens of miles away, it had no problem, rolled on the ground, sprung up, shook the dust off, and returned to Ye Fan’s side.

"Old Bai, how many kinds of Emperor Killing Arrays do you know?"

A fierce killing intent flashed in Ye Fan’s eyes as he asked Bai Yan wolf in a somber voice.

"Who do you intend to harm?"

Bai Yan wolf glanced at him, looking as if it had already seen through his intention.

"Can you swallow this betrayal?"

Ye Fan snapped fiercely: "Since they are here, we must make them pay the price, let them know that to kill us comes at a cost."

"You’re right, this King cannot swallow this betrayal either, rest assured, this time this King will help you engrave a Killing Array for free, let them realize that this King is not to be trifled with either!"

Bai Yan wolf gritted its teeth.

Acting swiftly, Bai Yan wolf immediately took out a large amount of materials and invested in the tense task of engraving the Killing Array.

Fortunately, with the time flow rate differing between Virtual Space and reality, it had ample time to engrave and perfect the Killing Array, only needing to sacrifice the Array Platform when the moment arrived.

Ye Fan was not idle either; after refining several Beast Cores, he too invested in the work of engraving a Killing Array.

Of course, he is not engraving any Emperor Killing Array, but rather a Dragon Trapping Forbidden Array, the power of this Killing Array is also extremely formidable, but requires engraving on Heaven Grade Spirit Stones to maximize its power.

During the crisis, Ye Fan also couldn’t care about too much, taking out all the Heaven Grade Spirit Stones he managed to obtain during this period, instantly making the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the entire Virtual Space dense enough to almost condense into liquid.

After completing the engraving of the Killing Array, three fist-sized Heaven Grade Spirit Stones remained, Ye Fan gritted his teeth and engraved a type of forbidden rune on these three Heaven Grade Spirit Stones, turning them into Forbidden Artifacts.

With everything in readiness, the City Lord of Human Clan’s First City led his trusted general to the center area of the Forbidden Zone.

"Boom!"

Without a word, the Demon Clan’s Saint launched an attack, slapped the void, and battled fiercely with the City Lord of Human Clan’s First City.

The battle between two Saint Lord Level strong people instantly made this area boil, large areas of mountain ranges were confined and refined into a Big Seal to attack each other, the violent energy pierced through the void and punctured the sky.

If not for the dense Sealing Tao Patterns here, it would have been pierced long ago, the battle between Saint Lord Levels is truly terrifying, every strike carries the might of earth-shattering power.

Within thousands of miles, everything ceased to exist, only the golden Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown remained suspended quietly in the air, untouchable by any energy turbulence.

Although not revived, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown still emanated a subtle Emperor’s Might, it was instinctive, unless both broke through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, they could not even budge the Emperor Weapon.

"Roar..."

The Demon Clan’s Saint fought wildly, inclined with golden Law Divine Chains, yet it did not affect his combat power performance in the slightest, in a clanging sound, he unleashed his Innate Divine Ability, **** light from his brow transforming into an inch-long Killing Sword, stabbing towards the City Lord of Human Clan’s First City.

Hmm?

The City Lord of the Human Race’s First City felt a chill, forming seals with both hands, and conjured a black vortex to swallow the Killing Sword, averting disaster, and then loudly commanded his trusted general: "Quickly, fetch the Emperor Weapon!"

At that moment...

The black vortex collapsed, and the one-inch-long Killing Sword, brimming with murderous aura, broke through the spatial constraint, suddenly appearing before the City Lord of the Human Race’s First City.

"Ha!"

The City Lord of the Human Race’s First City, worthy of being a mid-stage Venerable Realm powerhouse, remained calm in the face of danger. With a shout, he spat out a stream of Innate Primordial Essence Qi to block the Killing Sword, then launched a punch at the Demon Clan Saint.

Simultaneously, the City Lord’s trusted strongman reached the Emperor Weapon, forming seals with both hands, emitting strands of Mystic Light, intending first to take the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.

Suddenly, the void tore apart, and a golden fist quickly enlarged in his vision, then landed heavily on his nose.

"Boom!"

Caught off guard, the City Lord’s confidant had no defense. Although he immediately used divine power to protect his head, his nose bled heavily, his nasal bone shattered, nearly fracturing his skull.

"Ah..."

The City Lord’s confidant screamed, flying backward, showering blood, his face as swollen as a flower melon, dizzy and reeling from the blow.

Immediately, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf emerged from the Virtual Space, Ye Fan using Chasing Star Step to pursue like a streak of Flowing Light.

Bai Yan wolf seized the opportunity to move swiftly. With the royal bloodline of a Xuan Beast, even within the range of the Demon Clan Saint, he could move freely, not being severely suppressed!

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Pieces of Array Platform were fixed in the void, swiftly forming a corner of the Emperor Killing Array, enveloping the City Lord of the Human Race’s First City and the Demon Clan Saint, including Ye Fan and the City Lord’s confidant, within the Killing Array.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan caught up to the City Lord’s confidant, delivering a spinning kick. His right leg was wreathed in the image of a Gray Dragon, demonstrating immense might as it fiercely kicked him away.

"Boom!"

Bai Yan wolf decisively activated the Killing Array, swords resonating brilliantly, murderous intent as vast as an ocean, sweeping across the heavens. Strands of Killing Light pierced the sky and earth.

"Buzz!"

The City Lord’s confidant, kicked near the Demon Clan Saint by Ye Fan, had barely composed himself when a Killing Light struck him, smashing the Spiritual Treasure he had just summoned to dust.

"Howl..."

The Demon Clan Saint let out a long howl, transforming into his true form, head like a giant dragon, body like a mighty lion, covered in crimson scales. His mouth opened wide, directly swallowing the City Lord’s confidant, chewing noisily.

"No, City Lord, save me..."

The City Lord’s confidant’s Divine Soul escaped his body, forming a small figure identical to himself, quickly fleeing toward the City Lord.

"Boom!"

A blood-red lightning bolt descended from the sky, dissipating his Divine Soul instantly, reducing him to nothingness forever.

"Trying to escape? Can you run in this King’s Killing Array?"

Bai Yan wolf excitedly howled, using divine consciousness to inform Ye Fan how to exit the array.

He knew full well that this incomplete corner of the Emperor Killing Array couldn’t kill two mid-stage Venerable Realm Saints entirely, merely trapping them temporarily.

Ye Fan maneuvered within the Killing Array, setting up his Dragon Trapping Forbidden Array at various points, merging it with the corner of the Emperor Killing Array, unleashing terrifying power.

Using the Dragon Trapping Forbidden Array as a guide, he drew upon Earth Vein Energy, maintaining the operation of the Killing Array, fully activating the Emperor Killing Array.

"Boom!"

The entire Killing Array turned colorless, the weather changing, and the void revealed endless patterns, enveloping the City Lord of the Human Race’s First City and the Demon Clan Saint below. The invisible killing intent made this Forbidden Zone tremble.

Strands of Killing Light roamed within the array like giant dragons, with absolute killing intent that seemed capable of destroying all living beings in the world.

Even a flawed Emperor Killing Array could annihilate all powerhouses below the Venerable Realm. Even for Venerable Realm strongmen, traversing the Killing Array is extremely difficult, nearly impossible to break through.

Ye Fan fully activated the Dragon Trapping Forbidden Array, complementing the Emperor Killing Array, with endless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and Earth Vein Dragon Qi providing it with an unending stream of energy.

However—

Even under these circumstances, Ye Fan was unwilling to confront the two Saint Lord Level powerhouses, opting instead to let the Killing Array trap them first, while he and Bai Yan wolf quickly exited the array!

PS: As mentioned, the term "Saint Lord" refers to a designation for Venerable Realm cultivators and is not a realm. However, generally speaking, Saint Lords have surpassed the Venerable Realm.
