Best Young Master

The Bai Yan wolf’s killing array completely conquered the two of them. Even Lei Mingxiao himself would find it difficult to escape once he entered.

"This is nothing, merely a killing array. If two were to be superimposed, their power would more than double!" Bai Yan wolf said proudly.

This killing array wasn’t actually complete. It hadn’t obtained the complete Emperor Killing Array, because, aside from a Great Emperor, no one could set it up. What it knew was just a corner, less than one-tenth of the entire array.

Even so, such a killing array could still eliminate a Death Creature of the Venerable Realm without any problem.

"Good! Very good, tomorrow we will set up such a killing array. I will personally lure that Skull Venerable into the array, and you will control the array to strike it down!" said the Great Elder.

"Do you think this is child’s play?"

Bai Yan wolf glared at Great Elder Lei Mingxiao and said, "Setting up a killing array is a great consumption for this king. I’m exhausted, and without resting for at least ten days to half a month, it is impossible to set up such an array again."

"This..."

Great Elder Lei Mingxiao looked at Ye Fan with a face full of difficulty, hoping he could say something to help.

Ye Fan just looked at the sky, knowing that Bai Yan wolf was definitely trying to demand more benefits. If he repeatedly spoiled its plans, it would surely rebel.

In the end, Great Elder Lei Mingxiao and Clan Chief Lei Yuanhang discussed for a long time and decided to give it a gourd of the Divine Spring from their clan to help it recover quickly.

The Lei Clan’s Divine Spring was sourced from the Earth’s core, extremely precious, with the effect of bringing back the dead and regenerating flesh from bones. Using it to restore divine power was truly extravagant.

Upon obtaining a gourd of the Divine Spring, Bai Yan wolf instantly became vigorous and directly stored it away, then said, "With these materials, prepare double portions. To eliminate future woes, this king will make an exception and inscribe two killing arrays for you, to utterly slay that bone spirit!"

The next morning, the Great Elder announced to the entire Lei Clan that Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf were going to kill the Skull Venerable, which immediately caused an uproar!

"This kid is overestimating himself. The strength of the Skull Venerable is comparable to the Saint. Does he think he can kill the Skull Venerable just because he’s a mid-stage Lord Realm brat?"

"Exactly, if he can kill the Skull Venerable, can we not contend with the Quasi-Emperor?"

"Listen to him boast! Even the Great Elder can’t defeat the Skull Venerable, and he, a mid-stage Lord Realm little cultivator, is going just to get himself killed!"

"Just because he defeated Zhenlong doesn’t mean he’s invincible under heaven. Such arrogance, even if he doesn’t die at the hands of the Skull Venerable, he’ll be killed by someone in the future!"

The Lei Clan people were not aware of yesterday’s killing array trial and naturally believed that Ye Fan couldn’t possibly be an opponent to the Skull Venerable and was just bragging.

Especially since Ye Fan had decisively defeated Lei Zhenlong, the clan’s top genius, making many people unhappy, their words naturally became sharper.

Even those Lei Clan practitioners who had goodwill towards Ye Fan didn’t think highly of him, believing he was courting death and was too arrogant.

Skull Venerable wasn’t so easy to deal with.

If he were easily slain, they wouldn’t have been trapped on this desolate star for so many years.

Of course, there were also some Lei Clan maidens who blindly believed in Ye Fan, thinking that if he dared to say such words, he must have some assurance.

When Lei Bao heard about this, he was stunned for a long time, mumbling, "Incredible, simply incredible. He’s crazy to challenge the Skull Venerable that even the Great Elder couldn’t defeat!"

"Can he really succeed?"

Lei Zhenlong, the top genius of the Lei Clan, said calmly.

Ye Fan had defeated him with absolute superiority but hadn’t made him fulfill his previous promise, improving his impression of Ye Fan significantly.

It is easy to forgive even when holding the advantage, but many people, including him, couldn’t achieve this.

Ye Fan had heard a lot of such gossip, but he paid it no mind and didn’t try to explain; facts would speak louder than words.

On this ancient star, half the region was a Thunder Region filled with a rich Thunderbolt Aura, whereas the other half was a Death Zone permeated with Death Aura.

The place where the Skull Venerable resided was near the center of the Death Zone, where the Death Aura was most concentrated and most suitable for Death Creatures’ cultivation and survival.

Ye Fan, along with Bai Yan wolf and Great Elder Lei Mingxiao, ventured into the Death Zone and headed directly towards the near-center of the Death Zone.

Wherever they encountered stronger Death Creatures, Lei Mingxiao would take them out himself.

After slaughtering through ninety-thousand miles into the Death Zone, they finally stopped. Bai Yan wolf stayed to inscribe the killing array, while Ye Fan and Lei Mingxiao went on a killing spree, eliminating all nearby Death Creatures.

Ordinary beings would emit Death Aura when killed, but these Death Creatures wouldn’t emit such aura after being slain.

As Ye Fan joyously massacred these Death Creatures, he searched for places where the Dragon Veins converged. Only in such places could he possess endless Divine Power, and his combat power could soar to terrifying heights.

Soon enough, Ye Fan used the Earth Observation Technique to find a place where Dragon Veins converged, containing over a dozen small Dragon Veins.

"Boom!"

With a gesture, Ye Fan pulled a hundred-zhang Dragon Vein from the ground and swung it toward the horde of Death Creatures.

These Death Creatures, none of which reached the Lord Realm, posed a serious threat to ordinary cultivators with their Death Aura, but Ye Fan was not among them.

"Crash!"

The hundred-zhang Dragon Vein swept across like a mountain range, instantly turning countless skeletons into dust, completely extinguishing their Divine Soul Fire.

With the support of the vast Dragon Energy in the Dragon Vein, Ye Fan seemed like an tireless War God, with each strike freeing numerous Death Creatures.

Great Elder Lei Mingxiao was even more ruthless, surrounded by Thunder Power, each blow carrying a power that could annihilate everything, sweeping the mountains flat, bone powder flying everywhere.

Under the violent Thunder Power, the Death Aura here gradually thinned, as Thunder Power was the nemesis of Death Aura.

However, in such an environment, Lei Mingxiao’s Thunder Power was consumed more rapidly than in the outside world, with the Death Aura continuously eroding him, forcing him to always protect himself with Thunder Power.

Outside the Death Zone, many Lei Clan Practitioners arrived, wanting to witness this drastically unbalanced battle firsthand and see what card Ye Fan had to play that would make him boast in such a manner.

However—

Aside from a very few who could delve deep into the Death Zone, most Lei Clan Practitioners could only kill some Death Creatures on the outskirts of the Death Zone, not daring to go too deep.

"Ye, find a place with plenty of Dragon Veins, set up a Killing Array, and use the Array to nurture the Array!"

The Bai Yan wolf finally finished engraving the Killing Array and transmitted this to Ye Fan.

"Okay."

Ye Fan replied simply, then started engraving a Killing Array in an open area, each array pattern etched onto Dragon Veins.

While drawing the Killing Array, he manifested the Holy Embryo, controlling it to wield the Xuandi Fist, the fist surrounded by purple Thunder Power and Heaven and Earth Tao Markings.

"Buzz!"

Each punch from the golden Holy Embryo was like a hundred-foot mountain ridge sweeping across the void, crushing numerous Death Creatures, the golden Holy Embryo standing around ten feet tall, like a giant.

Here, deep in the Death Zone for a full hundred thousand miles, there were some Death Creatures of considerable strength, exuding Death Aura, wielding Bone Sabers to contend against Ye Fan’s Holy Embryo.

Some of these Death Creatures even had strength at the Lord Realm Peak, swinging their sabers to slash the void, leaving a deep fissure in the void.

Ye Fan’s Holy Embryo, much like his own body, was sturdy; the golden fist seemed to be cast from Sun God Gold, "bang" crushing the bone saber in the Death Creature’s hand into powder.

Moreover, his body was filled with Thunder Power and Pure Yang Qi, both being nemeses to the Death Creatures, causing them to instinctively fear him, hesitating to approach.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan’s golden Holy Embryo was like a War God, swinging a punch that cracked the skull of the Lord Realm Peak Death Creature, shaking the stability of its Divine Soul Flames.

"Possession!"

The Lord Realm Peak Death Creature long since gained Spiritual Wisdom, knowing it was doomed, thus choosing to gamble, to possess Ye Fan, seize his meat shell, risking the Heavenly Tribulation, as it faced certain death if it did otherwise.

"Whoosh!"

The Divine Soul Flames in the eye sockets of the Lord Realm Peak Death Creature abruptly shot out, flying directly towards Ye Fan’s head, instantly entering his sea of consciousness.

"Ah..."

The Divine Soul Flames of the Death Creature shrieked and were immediately obliterated by the Emperor Weapon’s aura within Ye Fan’s sea of consciousness, with no suspense.

Even in dormancy, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown naturally emitted a strand of Emperor’s Might, which the Lord Realm Peak Death Creature could not withstand.

It was also utterly unlucky; had it just escaped, Ye Fan was occupied with engraving the Killing Array, it might have had a slim chance.

Possessing Ye Fan? Isn’t this courting death?

Unless it were a Quasi-Emperor Realm strong person, capable of resisting the Emperor Weapon’s Emperor’s Might, completing a successful possession would be hopeful.

"Roar..."

Just as Ye Fan finished engraving the Killing Array from the Dragon Seeking Formulas, a ferocious roar suddenly echoed in his ear, causing the whole earth to tremble.

Terror waves came from afar, clearly the Skull Venerable was alerted, on route toward here.

"Finally arrived!"

Great Elder Lei Mingxiao let out a long, distant cry, heading towards the terrifying waves; it was a destiny battle, inevitable upon meeting, not ending without mutual devastation.

The Death Creatures unfortunate to be between Lei Mingxiao and the Skull Venerable were directly shattered into powder by their terrifying aura, without any suspense.

"Kill!"

The two soon met, the Skull Venerable without a word, reaching with a black bone hand, directly slapped at the head of the Great Elder, the sound as the bone claw broke through the void was like a ghostly wail.

Whoosh!

Great Elder Lei Mingxiao was not any less aggressive, swinging his large hand to counter, the hand filled with Thunder Power was dazzling like a purple sun, carrying terrifying Power of Destruction as it collided with the Skull Venerable’s bone hand.
