Best Young Master

As the Golden Mouse King was crushed to death by the Immortal Stele, the Star Sky Rats on the ancient star suddenly fell into chaos, attacking and biting each other, as if they had gone completely mad.

At the same time, the killing array of the Bai Yan wolf completely collapsed, and the Qingyu Platform exploded one after another, blasting a large group of Star Sky Rats into pieces.

"Only the king has opened spiritual wisdom, no matter how powerful the other Star Sky Rats are, they cannot open spiritual wisdom. This is truly a strange phenomenon!"

Watching those Star Sky Rats killing each other, the Bai Yan wolf clicked its tongue in wonder.

"Let’s go! We need to repair the altar and keep moving forward!"

Ye Fan stepped forward, and the Bai Yan wolf hurried to follow, not wanting to be surrounded by these crazed Star Sky Rats, or it would surely be gnawed into a pile of white bones.

In the last moments of crushing the Golden Mouse King, Ye Fan extracted important information from its sea of consciousness, learning the location of the shattered transmission altar.

At present, Ye Fan’s face was ashen. On this journey, nearly none of the altars on the ancient stars were intact; more or less, they were all damaged.

If it weren’t for the nearly perfected array patterns of the Bai Yan wolf, it was uncertain how long they would be delayed on this ancient road!

Although the purpose of embarking on the Xing Kong Gu Road was to temper himself, to become stronger and to enter the Quasi-Emperor Realm as soon as possible,

he didn’t want to be delayed for too long. With his current cultivation, living for a thousand years wouldn’t be a problem, but while he could afford to wait, Su Liuli on Earth could not, so he had to seize every moment to improve his strength quickly.

Three hours later, Ye Fan arrived in front of a towering giant mountain, discovering at the foot of this giant mountain, there was a pitch-black large cave that exuded a chilling aura, as if leading to the Nine Netherworld, making one’s skin crawl.

This was a pitch-black, dreadfully eerie giant cave that seemed connected to the Netherworld, with wailing sounds emanating from within, filled with death’s chill.

"What kind of damn place is this? Why do I feel like it’s the entrance to hell, and is there something tremendously dangerous inside?"

The Bai Yan wolf’s silver fur stood on end, nervously peering into the pitch-black cave.

"Let’s go, the broken altar is inside!"

Ye Fan emitted a faint golden glow all over, with Pure Yang Qi circulating, exuding a wisp of Life Aura, protecting himself as he stepped inside.

The Bai Yan wolf also summoned its Purple Gold Bell, casting down strands of terrifying Thunder Power to protect itself, following Ye Fan deep into the giant cave.

Although it was pitch-black inside the cave, Ye Fan had already cultivated the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, and coupled with his own golden glow, he could see the scene inside the cave clearly.

As for the Bai Yan wolf, its eyesight was exceptionally good, and at this moment, its eyes emitted two eerie green beams of light, allowing it to see everything inside the cave clearly as well.

This was a gigantic cave mansion that seemed endless, with the entrance at the foot of the mountain, leading into the mountain’s interior before the terrain gradually descended, leading deep into the earth.

After going hundreds of miles underground, Ye Fan arrived at a vast underground palace, surrounded by pairs of sinister green rat eyes, clearly the nest of all the Star Sky Rats on this ancient star.

However, he didn’t care, leading the nervously following Bai Yan wolf onward.

Seeing so many Star Sky Rats around, the Bai Yan wolf was genuinely startled, almost wanting to use the Purple Gold Bell to launch an attack, but was stopped by Ye Fan.

These Star Sky Rats clearly had not evolved spiritual wisdom but instinctually feared the far stronger humans and didn’t provoke them actively.

Although these Star Sky Rats would eventually be a disaster, the Xing Kong Gu Road had been abandoned and no longer posed a threat to humanity, so Ye Fan was too lazy to slaughter them thoroughly.

Phosphorescent flames flickered occasionally in the cave, and Ye Fan found that the underground palace was strewn with white skeletal remains, most of which had decayed, turning to bone powder with a slight tremor.

However, some skeletal remains were still very hard, producing a metallic clink when flicked by a finger.

"How many people died here? How come there are so many skeletal remains?"

The Bai Yan wolf marveled, noticing many skeletons of strong human beings, as well as skeletons of strong members of the Demon Clan.

It was unknown how many ten thousand years had passed, possibly at least a million years, yet some skeletal remains still hadn’t been completely destroyed by time, indicating how powerful their owners had been in life, surely possessing the Great Profound Skill capable of plucking stars and cracking the earth with a foot-stomp.

Yet——

They ultimately died in a foreign land, unable to return home, their heroic souls lost in this strange star domain!

"The aura of a Quasi-Emperor!"

In the depths of the underground palace, Ye Fan keenly sensed a peculiarity, detecting the aura of a Quasi-Emperor, although it was very weak, its characteristic was still there.

Following the aura, he saw in a corner of the underground palace a skeleton, as black as ink, exuding faint death energy, with the Quasi-Emperor aura emanating from this skeleton!

"Human-shaped creature?"

Ye Fan gasped in surprise!

This skeleton was very peculiar, not a human skeleton, with humanoid body having a pair of black bone wings on each side extending about a meter and a half.

And at the coccyx, there was a two-meter-long stinger like a scorpion’s tail.

"It seems that these strong humans and members of the Demon Clan were all killed by him, fighting him to death, truly tragic!"

Bai Yan wolf rarely refrained from speaking recklessly, his expression extremely solemn.

For both the Human Race and the Demon Clan, Human-shaped creatures are their common enemies, even Star Sky Profound Beast is unwilling for Human-shaped creatures to descend upon their planet.

This is because Human-shaped creatures are synonymous with death, wherever they go, no grass grows, and any living creatures become their targets for slaughter.

"This is..."

Ye Fan stepped forward and surprisingly discovered several bite marks on the remains of this Quasi-Emperor Level Death Creature, and beside them were some golden hairs!

At this moment, Ye Fan fully understood that it was by devouring the body of this Quasi-Emperor Level Human-shaped creature that the Golden Mouse King became so powerful.

The flesh and blood of a strong person at the Quasi-Emperor Realm contains terrifying Law Power and astonishing Essence Qi in every inch!

And the flesh and blood of this Human-shaped creature contains a terrible Power of Destruction and rich Death Aura!

After the Golden Mouse King devoured its flesh, its body was invaded by Death Qi, mutating and becoming extremely bloodthirsty.

Furthermore, it deprived all Star Sky Rats on this Ancient Star of their Divine Soul evolution potential, forever turning them into its most loyal subjects.

This directly resulted in the impossibility of any Star Sky Rat on this Ancient Star ever awakening Spiritual Wisdom and transforming.

Just at this moment, the ball of Death Qi condensed within Ye Fan’s body suddenly became restless, emitting a terrifying suction like a black hole, directly attracting the purest Death Aura contained within the remains of the Quasi-Emperor Level Death Creature, and merging it into the black ball in a blink of an eye.

"Crack!"

Having lost its most primordial Death Aura, the Quasi-Emperor Level remains turned into bone powder in an instant, completely vanishing in this world.

"Uh..."

Ye Fan was stunned, he actually couldn’t control this ball of Death Qi within his body, which made him feel a faint sense of unease in his heart.

Although he could use Death Qi for attacks, having such a thing in his body always made him feel like a bomb was buried within him, threatening to explode him into smithereens at any moment.

However, now he had no means to deal with the Death Qi in his body, he couldn’t force it out, it seemed to be entwined with the crystal formed by Pure Yang Qi.

Helplessly, Ye Fan accepted his fate, calmed his emotions, and started searching for the fragments of the Transmission Altar in this underground palace.

According to the final information extracted from the Golden Mouse King’s sea of consciousness, the ancient altar is indeed in this underground palace, which is also why such a fierce battle broke out here.

Soon, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf found a large number of altar fragments, and then began to piece them together slowly.

Ye Fan’s Divine Sense is extremely powerful, with a sweep of his Divine Soul, he quickly found all the fragments, and then he and Bai Yan wolf started the task of piecing them together.

The entire ancient altar was shattered into thousands of pieces, each piece had a different shape and size, completing the assembly was definitely a daunting task.

Luckily, Bai Yan wolf is a master in the realm of Array Patterns and has quite a bit of expertise in assembling them!

Even so, it took them a full three days to assemble the altar completely.

To Ye Fan’s surprise, the shattered ancient altar was not missing any pieces, and once assembled, an ancient altar appeared before them.

"Impressive!"

Looking at the complete altar, Bai Yan wolf couldn’t help but praise.

From the Array Patterns on each altar, it learned a lot about Array Patterns, benefitting immensely!

After resting for a full hour, Ye Fan stepped onto the altar, preparing to open the Star Gate and continue exploring the oldest Star Road.

At this moment, Bai Yan wolf stood up and said to him: "Ye, I feel something amiss, this Heavenly Road might lead to an absolute danger, maybe even the nest of Death Creatures, so you should use Death Qi for attacks from now on, anyway, using it on this long-abandoned Heavenly Road won’t be found out, no fear of it being spread."

Hmm?

A ray of light flashed in Ye Fan’s eyes, this Bai Yan wolf usually kept reminding him not to use Death Qi lightly, otherwise he might be mistaken for a Human-shaped creature and hunted by everyone.

Now it actually wants him to use Death Qi proactively, could it have sensed something?

But, he knew Bai Yan Wolf also had a point, this Heavenly Road has been abandoned for so many millennia, and absolutely no one would tread upon it, as long as he kills any witnesses after using Death Qi, all will be fine.

Having so much Death Qi stored inside him ultimately is not a good thing, his heart couldn’t help but worry a bit, if he can consume some, it can achieve a balance of life and death, which certainly only has benefits and no harm!

"Boom!!"

Moments later, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf activated the altar, opened the Star Gate, and stepped out from this world.
