Best Young Master

This looked like a White Bone Hall, the entire great hall crammed full of dense piles of bones.

However, the ones that could actually generate Soul Flames were extremely few, and these defiant creatures could only exist in a dark underground palace; Pure Yang Qi and Thunder Power were both their natural nemeses.

Bai Yan wolf was slaughtering in all directions, while Ye Fan followed behind picking up the scraps; they quickly passed through this hall heaped with bones.

Other than that nearly three-meter-tall bone yin object that generated Soul Fire, the rest of the bones were nothing to worry about at all, a light shake from Bai Yan wolf’s Purple Gold Bell turned them into dust.

The deeper they went, the stronger the yin objects they encountered; fortunately, Bai Yan wolf and Ye Fan were both proficient in Thunder Power and had a natural restraining effect on yin objects, otherwise换一个人恐怕已经饮恨了.

From the outside, this low hill didn’t seem big, just like a small earthen mound, but the space inside was frighteningly vast.

The Ancient Tomb in the mountain’s belly was imposing, like a stretch of underground palaces; stone pillars coiled with dragons, tomb walls carved with phoenixes, extremely exquisite, one underground palace connected to another.

"Miaow..."

Suddenly, a shrill cry rang out as a black shadow shot out from a corner of the underground palace, lunging straight at Ye Fan.

It was a gigantic creature, nearly five meters long, with claws over a foot long, flashing with a ghostly blue light.

It looked like a big cat, but its body was covered in scales, powerful and strong, its teeth like daggers, glinting coldly.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan struck cleanly and decisively, one punch smashing it to pieces; Thunder Power instantly purified its body, turning it into a dense surge of yin energy.

"Whose tomb is this anyway, how can there be so many terrifying yin objects?" Ye Fan’s expression grew somewhat grave.

"Most likely not the resting place of any good person."

Bai Yan wolf also became cautious, saying, "To produce so many powerful yin objects, this place has probably existed for over ten thousand years already, maybe even tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of years."

The two of them continued along the tomb passage, slaughtering countless Evil Souls and Ghosts and death creatures along the way. In the end, Ye Fan felt numb; whenever he saw Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals appear, he simply wreathed his fists in Thunder Power and shattered them with a single punch.

Bai Yan wolf was also extremely proactive, the Purple Gold Bell turning into a great bell, its sound waves vibrating as countless Evil Souls and Ghosts were purified by the blinding Thunder Power.

Thunder Power was the nemesis of all Yin Spirit Ghosts, not to mention that Bai Yan wolf’s Purple Gold Bell had been refined from the most violent Heavenly Tribulation, innately restraining all Ghosts.

Breaking through one tomb door after another, entering one underground palace after another, Ye Fan felt like he was about to lose his way in this vast complex of underground palaces.

"Boom!"

After they finished slaughtering all the yin objects in a great hall, Bai Yan wolf took a brief rest, then urged the Purple Gold Bell forward, blasting it against a tomb door.

The tomb doors here seemed to have no Forbidden formations, or perhaps they had already been destroyed by someone earlier, so they were blasted open very easily.

"Aoo..."

At the instant the tomb door was blown open, a silver figure shot out from the opened doorway, its sharp claws grabbing straight toward Bai Yan wolf’s head.

It was a Flying Night Demon, its entire body covered in silver scales that shimmered with silvery light, bearing a pair of wings, its face ferocious, its frame powerful and vigorous.

"Clang!"

At the critical moment, Bai Yan wolf decisively retreated, feet stepping Chasing Star Step, turning into a streak of Flowing Light as he simultaneously drove the Purple Gold Bell to slam heavily into the Flying Night Demon, knocking it flying.

"Aoo..."

As it was sent flying by the Purple Gold Bell, the Flying Night Demon let out a low roar, then turned and pounced at Ye Fan, its sharp claws flickering with a ghostly light, clearly highly poisonous.

"Suppress!"

Ye Fan shouted, unleashing the first Heavenly Sound of the Divine Soul Resonance Sound Wave Technique, rolling sound waves striking directly at its Soul, causing the Soul Fire in its eyes to violently tremble.

Immediately after, Ye Fan struck, golden fists wreathed in strands of Thunder Power like tiny Xiao Longs, smashing ruthlessly into the Flying Night Demon’s pair of claws.

"Crack!"

Before Ye Fan’s powerful Attack Power, the Flying Night Demon’s sharp claws were directly snapped, Thunder Power corroding its arms like flames.

This was also Ye Fan’s first time seeing such a creature. Legend said it had at least Late-stage Lord Realm strength, extremely powerful and hard to deal with.

However, he wasn’t worried. He had already killed human-shaped creatures at Late-stage Lord Realm; although this Flying Night Demon was very powerful as well, there was still a certain gap between it and those human-shaped creatures.

"Hit!"

Ye Fan shouted, feet stepping Chasing Star Step, clinging to the Flying Night Demon like maggots on bone, relentlessly pursuing and striking. His golden palms blotted out the sky, descending like a Sky Flipping Seal, beating this powerful Flying Night Demon until cracks covered its entire body and it retreated step by step.

Very soon, Ye Fan chased it into another level of the underground palace, unleashed Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, and with a bang smashed this powerful Flying Night Demon to pieces.

Only then did Ye Fan have time to look around this level of the underground palace, and he saw, not far ahead in the center of the palace, an altar piled up from countless bones.

The dried bones used to build this altar were actually none of them Human bones, yet they all looked extremely similar to human skeletons.

The bones of human-shaped creatures!

Ye Fan recognized the Identity of these bones at first glance, because they were all black, like metal, emitting faint specks of dark light.

The entire altar was piled up from tens of thousands of mangled humanoid skeletons, filled with Qi Rushes to the Sky levels of killing intent that made people afraid to approach.

Ye Fan activated the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, and two dragon shaped Divine Light beams shot out from his eyes, piercing through the black evil aura swirling around the black bone altar. Vaguely, he saw a gigantic Coffin lying horizontally above the altar.

Using the skeletons of humanoid creatures to pile up an altar and placing one’s own Coffin upon it—just who was this person, to be so overbearing?

The killing intent filled the sky within the whole great hall. Even from so far away, Ye Fan still felt as if blades were scraping his bones.

The Bai Yan wolf also quieted down, staring blankly at the altar formed from those black bones.

"Who exactly is it? To have such audacity, using humanoid skeletons to build an altar and place their own Coffin on it?"

"Ye, you have the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown protecting you, you shouldn’t be affected by this killing intent. You go take a look, see whose Coffin it is, and whether there are any clues!" the Bai Yan wolf egged Ye Fan on.

Hm?

Ye Fan was quite tempted; even if the Bai Yan wolf hadn’t said anything, he had already wanted to go closer and see just which fierce figure had made such a grand gesture.

There was no doubt that anyone able to bury themselves in such a secret place was definitely an earth‑shaking figure. He just didn’t know which ancient sage it was.

Once he thought of it, Ye Fan immediately activated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown. It manifested above his head, hanging high in the air, shedding ten thousand rays of light that enveloped both him and the Bai Yan wolf within.

With the Emperor Weapon emerging, that bone‑piercing killing intent was instantly isolated outside the light, making Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf both feel their bodies lighten.

The White Bone Hall altar’s killing intent filled the sky, forming a unique force field. Even if a Saint Lord Level strong people entered this field, they would be restrained and ultimately refined alive by the world‑shocking killing aura into a puddle of pus and blood.

With Ye Fan’s current Cultivation, there was absolutely no way he could enter this force field and still move freely.

All of this was the Merit of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown. Even though Elder Xuan, the Artifact Spirit, had already fallen into slumber, once it encountered pressure, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown would still automatically overflow with energy to protect its holder’s safety.

With the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown above his head, Ye Fan moved as if in an uninhabited land, charging swiftly into the black mist and arriving before the altar composed entirely of humanoid skeletons.

The scene before his eyes was shocking: huge dried bones lay crisscrossed, woven into a colossal altar, and upon it lay a Coffin the size of a room, emitting a sky‑shattering killing intent!

"Swoosh!"

Ye Fan rushed straight onto the altar and suddenly discovered that around the enormous Coffin there were actually over a hundred Heaven Grade Spirit Stones the size of human heads floating in the air, radiating multicolored light. The dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was almost liquefied.

"We’ve struck it rich..."

The Bai Yan wolf let out a strange cry, its mouth opening wide like a black hole as it tried to swallow all those Heaven Grade Spirit Stones in one gulp.

Whoosh!

Ye Fan beat it to the punch. With a sweep of his large sleeve, he directly collected all those Spirit Stones into his sleeve.

The Bai Yan wolf didn’t even get a single hair; instead, it almost sucked a dried bone into its mouth, and immediately collapsed onto the ground, retching in disgust.

"You robbed my treasure again. I finally see it clearly now—sticking with you, this king is always working for nothing. I do the hard labor, but I never get the benefits. I must have had eight lifetimes of bad karma to end up with you!"

After dry heaving for a while, the Bai Yan wolf finally regained its Soul and said to Ye Fan with a thoroughly depressed face.

"Eh, there are engravings on this Coffin?"

After pocketing the Spirit Stones, Ye Fan suddenly noticed that there were actually many engravings on the massive Coffin, looking extremely Mysterious.

"Let me see."

The Bai Yan wolf instantly perked up. Anything a figure this fierce would carve onto their own Coffin definitely wouldn’t be some fantasy about ascending and becoming an Immortal; it was very likely some long‑lost, peerless supreme art.

"This... looks very much like the Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique!"

After watching for a while, the Bai Yan wolf said doubtfully.

"What? It’s actually this kind of Supreme Secret Skill? Then doesn’t that mean the one buried in this Coffin is very likely the corpse of the Eternal Slaughter Emperor?" Ye Fan said, eyes wide.

He couldn’t help but be shocked. The Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique was a peerless Holy Technique independently created by the Eternal Slaughter Emperor. It started from the one and the two and returned to Unity, using one to transform into ten thousand, able to evolve all sorts of offensive and defensive Holy Techniques.

Other than the Four Seasons Killing Technique, this was the Slaughter Emperor’s most powerful Secret Skill, a killing Holy Technique he created after Proving Dao and becoming Emperor.

Back then, it was by relying on this very Holy Technique that the Eternal Slaughter Emperor had forcibly slain a powerful existence among the humanoid creatures comparable to a Great Emperor.

Unfortunately, ever since he vanished in his later years, this Holy Technique had been lost. No one inherited this peerless Holy Technique of his.

Thus, after the Eternal Slaughter Emperor disappeared, the Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique became an eternal, unmatched legend; no one could use it anymore.

To this day, the legends regarding this peerless Holy Technique with unrivaled Attack Power had nearly faded away, yet unexpectedly, it was found here on the Coffin before their eyes.

This Holy Technique was extremely complex; without grasping its true essence, one could absolutely not unleash its real power.

Under the protection of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf immediately imprinted all these engravings into their sea of consciousness!
