Best Young Master

"Cang Bo..."

Chu Xuanji was overwhelmed with fury, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened in rage, with tears of blood rolling down his cheeks.

His comrade-in-arms had left him just like that, leaving him grief-stricken.

"Bang!"

Xu Wuji kicked out, sending Cang Bo’s headless body flying, breaking into pieces upon landing.

"And you?" Xu Wuji pointed at Emperor Ye beside Chu Xuanji, disdainfully saying, "Tell me your choice!"

"Hahaha..."

Emperor Ye laughed out loud to the sky, tears sliding down as blood continued to spill from his mouth.

After laughing, he said sorrowfully, "Old Cang is gone, how can I live alone? On the Netherworld road, the four of us can go together, look after each other. Come on, give me a quick end, those who torture are not true heroes!"

"You want to die? I won’t let you die!"

Xu Wuji coldly said, "You want to be a hero, talk of loyalty, but I won’t let you get your wish."

As his voice fell, he swung his palm, a surging True Yuan forming a glowing hand, directly knocking him away, unable to move like Lv Yuan.

"Cough cough..."

Emperor Ye coughed up several mouthfuls of blood mixed with shattered internal organs, hoarsely saying, "Evil Emperor, you go first, I’ll be right there!"

"Heaven is blind, how can it let a beast, a demon like you, break through the legendary realm?" Chu Xuanji angrily shouted.

"You’re a Saint, you pity the heavens, but what’s the use? You can’t even protect your own life, what right do you have to judge me?"

Xu Wuji cruelly laughed, coming before Chu Xuanji, lifting his foot, suddenly stamping down, crushing Chu Xuanji’s kneecap to pieces, half of his calf flying out, blood gushing like a fountain.

Chu Xuanji’s forehead dripped with cold sweat, yet his eyes remained icy and unyielding.

"Evil Emperor..."

Ye Wenhao shouted, despite being unable to exert his strength, he lunged at Xu Wuji.

But it was all in vain, Xu Wuji easily waved his hand, swatting him away, smashing a pile of tables and chairs.

...

Outside Earth, Ye Fan suddenly felt a chilling fear, as if something bad was happening, his heart instantly moved.

"Go!"

Ye Fan charged towards Earth’s atmosphere first, as he entered the atmosphere, he discovered it was filled with a Killing Array formed by woven Heaven and Earth Tao Markings.

This was a Killing Array naturally formed by Earth’s rules, extremely terrifying, non-Venerable Realm strong people would be strangled by the Killing Array, even they could fall if careless.

"Earth is too mysterious!"

Ye Fan had to exclaim, that before entering the Otherworld, he had never thought Earth would be so mysterious, a natural formation isolating any strong person below Saint Lord Level.

"This is a naturally formed Killing Array, representing the will of Heaven and Earth, this Ancient Star of Life is quite extraordinary." Bai Yan wolf carefully said.

Its array pattern skills are unmatched worldwide, able to see the essence of the Killing Array, in its view, this naturally formed Killing Array by Heaven and Earth rules could even rival Emperor Level Killing Arrays.

Add to it that Heavenly Dao doesn’t allow anyone into Earth before attaining sainthood; they are rejected by the world.

Even after attaining sainthood, there might be rules balancing it on Earth, otherwise why has no one mentioned a life Ancient Star named Earth among the many Saint Lords and even Quasi-Emperors, Great Emperors?

"Such a familiar aura!"

At this moment, the Mystic Turtle on Ye Fan’s shoulder and the Ginseng Fruit Tree in the Chaos Dragon Spear simultaneously made sounds, both finding Earth’s aura familiar.

"Of course it’s familiar, you walked out from here, now you’re coming back home." Ye Fan said with a smile.

"Oh, going home!"

The Mystic Turtle and Ginseng Fruit Tree cheered with childlike innocence, unaware of what home meant for them.

"Tch, little ones, know what going home means." Bai Yan wolf scoffed, mocking.

"Big bad wolf, you have no home, you naturally don’t know what going home means." The Mystic Turtle retorted, with venomous words.

"You little turtle brat, dare challenge this King? Would you believe me if I said I could toss you straight into the Killing Array to experiment?" Bai Yan wolf glared, looking as if he really would toss it into the Killing Array.

"I’m not afraid of you, this is my home, the Killing Array won’t harm me." The Mystic Turtle said with childish innocence.

"Hey, you little turtle brat, you’ve really become a spirit!"

Bai Yan wolf found itself helpless, ultimately not really throwing it into the Killing Array as a guinea pig.

To prevent them from continuing to bicker, Ye Fan had no choice but to also put the Mystic Turtle into the Chaos Dragon Spear for the Ginseng Fruit Tree to take care of it.

Then, they began to break the formation, Bai Yan wolf leading the way, Ye Fan bringing up the rear, Peacock and Golden Divine Dragon in between.

Having progressed several miles, Bai Yan wolf’s expression suddenly changed, saying, "Not good, judgment error, retreat quickly!"

Ye Fan’s heart was stunned, with a wave of his hand, he directly pulled them over, taking a step back out of the Killing Array.

"What happened?" Ye Fan inquired.

"This formation is peculiar; it cannot be forcefully breached. It must be understood and the Tao Markings within the Killing Array must be inscribed to avoid rejection. Otherwise, forcefully breaking through would destroy this Ancient Star."

The Bai Yan wolf was still fearful, grateful that it had discovered this early on; otherwise, even if they could breach it, this Ancient Star of Life would be turned into a dead land.

In the end, they decided that Ye Fan would take the lead while they closely followed, together comprehending the rules and order of Earth, inscribing the Tao Markings.

Reentering the Killing Array, Ye Fan released his divine consciousness, focusing intensely, discovering mysterious Tao Markings interwoven into a huge net, protecting Earth within.

At the same time, this net absorbed starlight and moonlight to maintain the operation of the Killing Array.

As a result, only a very small portion of the starlight and moonlight from the endless starry sky could reach Earth.

Perhaps this is a key reason why Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is scarce on Earth, making cultivation difficult for cultivators!

It is truly both the making and breaking of Earth through the Killing Array.

The natural Killing Array protected Earth from being disturbed by strong people from other Star Domains but also isolated the starlight and moonlight, causing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to become increasingly scarce on Earth. Not to mention the Venerable Realm of saints, even the True Essence Realm has become a legendary realm, exceedingly difficult to break through.

"Sizzle!"

A Heaven and Earth Tao Mark was comprehended by Ye Fan and inscribed, reducing the array’s rejection of him by several degrees.

Soon after, the Bai Yan wolf and the Golden Divine Dragon also comprehended a rule, inscribed the Tao Mark, and were able to continue forward.

Thus, they comprehended while painstakingly maneuvering through the Killing Array, fearing the slightest mistake.

During this time, the Bai Yan wolf became the greatest beneficiary. Not only had it comprehended Earth’s Heaven and Earth rules and inscribed the Tao Mark, but it also refined its understanding of this natural Killing Array, slightly advancing its array pattern prowess.

The closer they came to Earth, the more uneasy Ye Fan felt, his heart pounding wildly, casting a foreboding shadow over his mind.

"Could something really be wrong?" Ye Fan muttered to himself, struggling to remain calm.

In such a situation, his rate of comprehension slowed down, hardly able to calm his mind to genuinely focus on comprehension.

"Ye, don’t be distracted. No matter the issue, it must wait until after we break the formation and enter. Otherwise, wasting time here is meaningless." Bai Yan wolf spotted Ye Fan’s unrest, shouted in his ear.

This sentence was like a wake-up call, promptly bringing Ye Fan to his senses.

Indeed, worrying now was futile, better to focus swiftly on comprehension and breaking through.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan cast a grateful glance at the Bai Yan wolf, then took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, dismiss all distracting thoughts, and enter a state of empty spirit.

Logically, having achieved sainthood, he shouldn’t be so unsettled, but concern led to chaos; he was preoccupied with too many things, distracting him temporarily.

In the Royal Garden.

"Heh heh..."

Xu Wuji sneered, "Old bastard, you’re pretty tough, aren’t you? I’d like to see how long you can remain tough."

At this moment, before him, Chu Xuanji’s legs were crippled, crushed into flesh mush by the most brutal means. Such pain was beyond normal endurance.

However, apart from a scream when his leg was unexpectedly crushed at first, Chu Xuanji made no sound, cold sweat drenching his face, yet his gaze remained ice-cold.

"Bang!"

Xu Wuji suddenly acted, directly tearing off Chu Xuanji’s right arm, tearing muscles and making a horrid sound.

"Beg me!" Xu Wuji cruelly laughed, "Beg me and I’ll grant you a quick death, sparing you the living hell."

"Ptooey!"

His answer was a mouthful of blood.

"Old bastard!"

Xu Wuji was enraged, slashing Chu Xuanji’s left arm 108 times with a hand like a knife, nearly chopping it into flesh paste.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan, through laborious comprehension, finally traversed the Killing Array in the atmosphere, completely reaching Earth’s sky.

"Swish!"

In an instant, he unleashed his divine sense, covering the entire Earth, sensing the location of his kin.

Almost the moment he released his divine consciousness, he sensed several weak auras, the auras of Earth’s top strong people.

Yanjing!

In the direction of Huaxia Yanjing, he sensed a somewhat stronger aura, a True Essence Realm cultivator.

At the same time, he also sensed the aura of his master Chu Xuanji and his father Ye Wenhao, alongside two extremely weak auras, which he almost overlooked.

Because those two auras were too weak, even weaker than ordinary people, yet he sensed a familiar feeling from them.

"Go!"

Ye Fan dared not delay, deploying the Chasing Star Step in a single stride, already descending upon the Yanjing Royal Garden.

"Old geezer, weren’t you thinking your disciple would come to save you? Let him come then!"

In the Royal Garden, Xu Wuji was unaware of Ye Fan’s arrival with the Three Beasts and instead smiled venomously, raising his right hand, shining like a millstone, about to cleave Chu Xuanji to death, "Tomorrow this time next year will be your memorial day, sending you to the Netherworld!"
