Best Young Master

After staying in the twelfth Ancient City for three days, Ye Fan bid farewell to Fatty Du and others, setting off alone on his journey!

His time was limited, and he couldn’t afford to waste it here.

On the entire Xing Kong Gu Road, countless trialists were converging towards the eighteen cities, unwilling to miss this unparalleled opportunity!

Time flew by, and half a month elapsed in the blink of an eye!

In this half-month, Ye Fan experienced more than a dozen fierce battles, facing both Star Sky Profound Beasts and trialists who had set foot on the Xing Kong Gu Road.

The Xing Kong Gu Road was extremely dangerous, and many people traveled in groups, making it extremely rare for someone to journey alone like him!

However, all the cultivators who attempted to ambush him were forcefully subdued by him.

Ye Fan didn’t kill them but instead plundered the Spirit Stones and Treasure Medicines from them.

Having spent so much time with Bai Yan wolf, he had become quite adept at plundering others’ treasures, leaving the cultivators who ambushed him in tears.

In the end, Ye Fan subdued a Saint-level Lion Beast that had reached the Venerable Realm, using it as his mount, shattering the void, and rushing towards the eighteen cities.

Alone, with a blood-colored spear, he intimidated a stretch of the Xing Kong Gu Road, becoming a legend!

Passing through the Seventeen Heroic Passes, Ye Fan didn’t pause at all, nor did he enter any city, but continued directly along the Xing Kong Gu Road.

After crossing the void several times via altars, Ye Fan descended onto an Ancient Star of Life!

This was a barren Ancient Star of Life, where the great path was distant and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was so thin it was shocking, causing him some discomfort even after descending upon it.

Along his journey, Ye Fan had seen many Ancient Lands of Life, but true Life Stars were rare indeed.

The conditions on this Ancient Star of Life were harsh, despite the lush grass, it was almost unsuitable for cultivation.

Ye Fan soared through the air, causing many indigenous people to consider him an immortal, bowing down in worship, making him feel a mix of amusement and frustration.

In fact, it was the same on Earth; weren’t cultivators capable of flying regarded as immortals by ordinary people as well?

Here, he seemed to see a reflection of Earth, stirring emotions in his heart.

Finally, he landed in a city of human habitation, communicating with the local indigenous residents through consciousness, obtaining a piece of news that shocked him.

Not long ago, a goddess led a group of immortals past them, heading towards the Primordial Mountain.

From the description of the indigenous resident, Ye Fan was almost certain that the goddess must be Divine Lady Tongtong of the Divine Race.

What brought her here?

However, Ye Fan didn’t plan to meet her, as besides her, Jiang Kuang and others were also accompanying her.

"Is there something in the depths of the mountain that’s attracting them?" Ye Fan asked patiently.

Soon, he learned from the native’s mouth that in the endless Primordial Mountain, there seemed to be a flicker of Divine Light, as if some divine object was about to be unearthed.

"That’s their opportunity, what does it have to do with me?" Ye Fan murmured to himself.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a terrifying wave of Death Aura emanating from the depths of the Primordial Mountain, causing his expression to change instantly.

"Swish!"

His figure flashed, disappearing in front of the native, startling the native who hurriedly prostrated on the ground in devout worship.

At this moment, Ye Fan pushed the Chasing Star Step to the extreme, stepping out, the world turned upside down, and in one flash he crossed thousands of feet as if traversing space.

Soon, he sensed a surge of Death Aura, mixed with a Divine Aura.

There was no doubt, Tongtong and the others had encountered trouble.

The intensely thick fluctuating Death Aura indicated that the strong person of the Demon Clan they were facing was incredibly powerful.

Ye Fan’s guess was correct!

In the depths of the distant Primordial Mountain, Divine Lady Tongtong and Jiang Kuang were desperately joining forces to resist an emaciated elder enveloped in Death Demon Energy.

Around their battlefield, several skeletons lay strewn, devoid of flesh and blood, appearing extremely tragic and terrifying.

"Hehehehe..."

The emaciated elder sneered, his voice like a night owl’s, piercingly harsh.

His withered hands were pitch black, resembling bird claws, with nails two inches long, glimmering with a ghostly blue light.

"Swoosh, swoosh..."

Every strike from the emaciated elder was incredibly fierce, with his pair of ghost claws shooting beams of death light, forcing Jiang Kuang and Tongtong to retreat repeatedly.

The other Divine Race Heavenly Prides who had been with them were all killed by the emaciated elder, their flesh melted away, leaving only the Divine Bones behind, dying in a pitiful manner.

They never thought they would encounter an old demon head, an absolute giant of the Demon Clan, on this barren Ancient Star of Life.

Despite Jiang Kuang having the bloodline of a War God flowing in him, his combat power unrivaled, he was still no match for the emaciated elder.

"Ah..."

Jiang Kuang roared continuously, unleashing various martial arts and secret techniques in quick succession, complementing Tongtong to barely withstand the emaciated elder’s storm-like onslaught.

"Tongtong, you go first!"

Jiang Kuang shouted loudly, his momentum suddenly changing, as if a War God had resurrected, his black hair flying, his entire body enveloped in intense Divine Light, resisting the emaciated elder’s attack with bare hands. Although he was continuously spitting blood, he did not take a single step back.

"Leave? None of you will leave today, heaven decrees your doom!" the emaciated elder cackled, each strike forcing Jiang Kuang to spit more blood.

Around them, many mountain ranges were shattered, and terrifying fissures crisscrossed the earth like a web.

"Swoosh!"

The withered old man threw a punch, and a blazing beam of death light pierced through a large mountain, causing countless flying birds and beasts to suffer as their lives were corroded by the terrifying death aura.

Rumble...

Moments later, the mountain shattered with a loud crash, sending up a cloud of dust, as if it was the end of the world.

"You must leave, you can’t stop him."

Tongtong said anxiously, while unleashing strands of Divine Power to help Jiang Kuang resist the erosion of the Power of Death.

Their Divine Race was very sensitive to the aura of death, and the death aura inflicted tremendous damage on them.

Although the Divine Aura had the ability to purify the death aura, it was only relative; when the death aura was too dense, it instead became detrimental to them.

The previous young strong people of the Divine Race had been too careless, their flesh and blood corroded by the Power of Death, even their Divine Souls were eroded.

This was because they were too complacent; on the Xing Kong Gu Road of the Human Race, hardly anyone would attack them, which inadvertently made them lower their guard.

This withered old man of the Demon Clan had strength at the Peak of the Venerable Realm, equivalent to a Supreme Holy Master level of strong people, whom they simply couldn’t confront.

Being able to hold on until now was already a miracle!

"Tongtong, I’ve never asked you for anything in my life, now I’m begging you, go quickly!"

Jiang Kuang went wild, decisively burning his Life Origin, elevating his combat power to the extreme, a golden spear with phoenix wings shot out dazzling Divine Radiance.

He roared with tears, in this life, Tongtong was the Goddess in his heart, but Tongtong always treated him coldly, which made him very heartbroken.

Now, at the critical moment of life and death, he abandoned everything completely, his Consciousness ascending to another realm, and his Essence Qi and spiritual energy reaching a high unity, launching a stunning strike, forcing the withered old man a small step back.

"No..."

Tongtong wept, something seemed to pierce her heart deeply.

At this moment, Ye Fan no longer held clarity in her mind, although Jiang Kuang was tragic, he was heroically brave, using his life to earn her a chance to escape.

"I said, none of you can leave, today you all stay here!"

The withered old man was surprised, but didn’t take it to heart, in his view, killing the two was just a matter of time.

This was a barren Ancient Star of Life, with no strong people, let alone any cultivator who could threaten him.

Moreover, due to this Ancient Star of Life having high and distant roads, with thin Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, it was not suitable for cultivation, so no other cultivators would descend.

Now, most people’s attention was focused on the Eighteen Cities, and no one would notice here.

As long as he killed these two only Divine Race strong people, then no one could threaten Tu Sihai and the others.

Meanwhile, his Identity would remain secret, no one would know any of this, it would ultimately become an unsolved case.

On the Xing Kong Gu Road, there were too many such unsolved cases, impossible to investigate clearly.

So, by all means they had to be left here.

"Wuwu..."

The withered old man transformed ghostly claw shadows, emitting a wailing cry, forcing Jiang Kuang and Tongtong to fight desperately to resist.

"Poof!"

Soon after, Tongtong spat blood, her fresh blood staining the front of her clothes red, her face turning pale!

"Ahhhh..."

Jiang Kuang, like a crazed War God, flames surged all over his body, unleashing his combat power to the extreme, continuously spitting blood, and stubbornly fighting the withered old man.

"Let’s fight it out with you!"

Seeing no hope of escape, Tongtong also despaired, decisively burned her Divine Power, her combat power rapidly soaring, releasing rays of Divine Radiance, continually dissolving the death aura of the withered old man.

However, this withered old man was like a grave, his death aura vast and endless, it was impossible to exhaust his death aura in a short time.

"Die for me!"

Gradually, the withered old man also became impatient, decisively using his assassin’s weapon, unleashing fierce Death Martial Technique, severely wounding Jiang Kuang in one move.

"Poof!"

Jiang Kuang was knocked flying backward, his face pale as paper, his whole Divine Light collapsing, his chest caving in, spitting blood mixed with shattered internal organs.

"Jiang Kuang..."

Tongtong let out a cry of grief, her Life Origin also burned, her combat power rising again, desperately shielding Jiang Kuang behind her, not retreating a single step.

"I never thought I, Jiang Kuang, would die here..." Jiang Kuang smiled bitterly.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud tremor shook the entire mountain range, rocks rolled, and leaves whirled wildly.

Ye Fan appeared on the horizon, directly smashing down with a Mountain and River Seal, a verdant mountain crossed the sky, directly crashing towards the withered old man.

"Boom!"

The withered old man struck out with a palm, directly splitting the Mountain and River Seal in half, but he was also shaken back three steps, a ripple spreading through his mind.

"Who are you?" The withered old man’s color changed, angrily shouting.

"The one who will kill you!"

Ye Fan appeared in the battlefield like a streak of Flowing Light, his gaze deep, purple hair disheveled, with an imposing presence as if a mountain or a peak.
