Best Young Master

"Boom!"

Thunder Power and Power of Death roared simultaneously, sweeping across half of the Ancient Star like a hurricane, dragging countless Death Creatures skyward and tearing them to shreds.

The Skull Venerable stood a hundred zhang tall, reaching into the heavens, its massive skull formed by countless smaller skeletons. Soul Fire burned intensely, emitting a ghostly green light, its entire body pitch black, shrouded in Death Aura, appearing like a death god.

In front of it, Great Elder Lei Mingxiao of the Lei Clan appeared very small, like an ant.

However—

Within this tiny body lay a terrifying Power of Destruction, enough to confront the Skull Venerable without falling behind.

They could be considered archenemies, having battled countless times, with a deep understanding of each other’s tactics, neither able to gain the upper hand for now.

"Humans, you have invaded my kingdom and slaughtered my people, do you think you can bully me so easily? I will not let you leave today!"

The Skull Venerable’s voice was deep, filled with the majesty of a superior.

"Today is your doom!"

Lei Mingxiao displayed his Dharma Golden Body, also standing a hundred zhang tall, his entire body gleaming with lightning, unleashing various Thunderclap Treasure Skills. The heavens collapsed, the earth shattered, darkness reigned, and the sun and moon lost their light.

"Hiss~"

Witnessing the formidable power of the Skull Venerable, Ye Fan couldn’t help but gasp, the Venerable Realm Death Creatures were simply terrifying.

Fortunately, there were only Death Creatures here, no other living beings, otherwise just the Death Aura emanating from it could sweep across a vast area, even an ordinary cultivator in the Lord Realm wouldn’t withstand the invasion of that overwhelming Death Energy.

"Old Bai, quickly set up the array!"

Ye Fan shouted, informing Bai Yan wolf of the location of the Killing Array he had arranged, asking him to deploy within his Killing Array, using the Earth Vein Dragon Qi to maintain the operation of the Emperor Killing Array.

"Leave it to me!"

Bai Yan wolf appeared confident, spitting out several Qingyu Platforms, each engraved with countless Array Patterns, powered by a Heaven Grade Spirit Stone the size of a fist.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

Nine Qingyu Array Platforms disappeared into the void, forming one corner of the Emperor Killing Array.

Before its activation, the Killing Array seemed calm as usual, with no anomalies, and no one could see through the Array Platforms hidden in the void.

"Job done!"

After fixing the nine Killing Array Platforms, Bai Yan wolf spat out nine more platforms, complementing the previous Killing Array with a special technique, making the array more perfect.

Two corners of the Emperor Killing Array combined, once activated, it could absolutely intercept any god or foe, with Ye Fan’s Killing Array drawing on the Earth Vein Dragon Qi to provide endless energy for the two arrays, unless the Earth Vein Dragon Qi is exhausted, the array’s power won’t diminish.

"Kid, have that old fellow lure the big guy over, I’m sure his old bones won’t be a match, better to slice it apart with the Killing Array!" Bai Yan wolf suggested to Ye Fan.

"Alright!"

Ye Fan nodded, using divine consciousness to instruct Great Elder Lei Mingxiao to retreat into the Killing Array to deal with the Skull Venerable.

"Boom!"

The place where the Skull Venerable and Great Elder Lei Mingxiao battled was filled with destructive aura, mountains vanished, the earth was crisscrossed with massive cracks, and bone powder flew everywhere.

"Rumble..."

Thunder roared deafeningly, lightning dazzled, Lei Mingxiao unleashed True Fire, exhibiting his full Venerable Realm strength, striking the sky, stomping to crack the earth, each strike accompanied by lightning and thunder, the Thunder Power overwhelming.

The Skull Venerable’s body was shrouded in black aura, the Soul Fire in its eyes flickered green and ghastly, bone claws ripping the void, the Power of Death rampant, nearly collapsing the celestial dome, shaking stars in the sky.

The Skull Venerable’s black bones were incredibly hard, even when struck by Thunder Power there was no effect, it simply restored itself with a flicker of black light.

The two battled for a whole hour before Great Elder Lei Mingxiao slowly retreated toward the Killing Array.

"Trying to escape? Today you won’t escape; I’ll kill you and make you part of my Soul Fire!"

Seeing Lei Mingxiao attempting to retreat, the Skull Venerable’s spirit was instantly invigorated, it sneered coldly, relentlessly pursuing.

Always, it had been Lei Mingxiao invading its kingdom, slaughtering countless of its people before engaging in a fierce battle with it.

This time, it resolved to eliminate this opponent no matter the cost, then sweep through the entire Thunder Region, turning all Lei Clan people into nourishment for itself and its people, then stepping onto the altar to challenge the Xing Kong Gu Road.

Though it retained only a trace of consciousness, it had long regained Spiritual Wisdom through years of cultivation, becoming a new form of life with autonomous awareness.

The two fought all the way, destroying many mountain ranges, making Ye Fan worried if the Array Patterns he carved on the Dragon Vein would be destroyed too.

If that were the case, all his efforts would have been in vain.

Bai Yan wolf spoke with assured confidence, "Don’t worry, now you can activate your Killing Array, it surely won’t care and will rush straight in. Once it enters my Killing Array, it’s its doomsday."

Although Bai Yan wolf was quite unreliable with Transmission Array Runes, it had never failed with the Killing Array, and its keen eye left Ye Fan confident in its array expertise.

Slam!

Ye Fan resolutely stomped his foot, activating the Killing Array, the area turned hazy, Earth Vein Dragon Qi pierced the earth like a Divine Sword, shooting toward the sky.

"I see why you’re so confident, you laid a backup. But how can this Killing Array affect me!"

The Skull Venerable laughed wildly as it rushed directly into the Killing Array. The Divine Sword formed by Earth Vein Dragon Qi dissipated automatically more than ten feet away, unable to stop its steps at all.

Great Elder Lei Mingxiao also charged into the Killing Array, maneuvering through the path Ye Fan outlined to avoid the array’s slaughter, heading for the Emperor Killing Array set by Bai Yan wolf.

"Boom!"

With a wave of its hand, the Skull Venerable wiped out an Array Pattern section, significantly reducing Ye Fan’s Killing Array’s power.

Unknowingly, the Skull Venerable was caught in the trap, lured into the Killing Array set by Bai Yan wolf by Lei Mingxiao.

"Hey, big guy, look over here!"

The Bai Yan wolf stood at the Array Eye of the Killing Array, snickering slyly, and directly activated the Killing Array.

"Boom!!!"

Chaotic Energy filled the Killing Array, and beams of Killing Light as thick as mountain ridges directly slashed toward the Skull Venerable, causing him to stumble.

"Roar!"

The Skull Venerable roared furiously, quickly shrinking his body to avoid being hit by more beams of Killing Light, as he pressed forward under immense pressure within the Killing Array. He intended to slay Lei Mingxiao first, then break the formation.

However, obviously, he couldn’t achieve that!

Lei Mingxiao exited the Killing Array calmly as instructed by the Bai Yan wolf.

The Bai Yan wolf controlled the Killing Array to continuously attack the Skull Venerable, making him extremely frustrated. Although his ability far surpassed that of the Bai Yan wolf, in the Killing Array, he struggled to advance, having to exert all his energy to counter its power.

"Big guy, I laid this Emperor Killing Array. Even if you’re in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, you can’t escape your fate. Just accept it!"

The Bai Yan wolf was very excited, operating the Killing Array to "slice and dice" the Skull Venerable as if slowly peeling a carrot.

"I, the Venerable, rule the heavens and earth. No one can truly hurt me, not even the Emperor Killing Array!"

The Skull Venerable was shrouded in gray Death Energy, directly using a Divine Soul Attack, as a beam of black light shot towards the Bai Yan wolf.

The Bai Yan wolf calmly manipulated the Killing Array, stirring up a beam of Killing Light to dispel the black light directly, and yelped excitedly.

"We can’t waste any more time. Just in case, I’ll go kill him!"

Ye Fan said this, stepping decisively into the Killing Array, freely moving within it as instructed by the Bai Yan wolf, quickly approaching the Skull Venerable.

"Little one, you dare?"

The Skull Venerable was furious, feeling humiliated. Even someone like Lei Mingxiao, who was also in the Venerable Realm, didn’t dare underestimate him. And yet, this young person, who was only at the Mid-Stage of Lord Realm, dared claim he could kill him.

"You have already died; why linger unnecessarily? Such defiance against destiny is unacceptable even to the heavens!"

Ye Fan, standing within the Killing Array, directly used the Xuandi Fist to strike the Skull Venerable, his golden fist swirling with purple light.

"The audacity!"

The Skull Venerable was outraged. His black bone claws pierced the void, aiming straight for Ye Fan’s head, and the terrifying Power of Death surged within the Killing Array—a strike that was guaranteed to kill!

"Ye, step aside, let me handle this!"

The Bai Yan wolf leaped about excitedly, controlling the Killing Array to strike at the Skull Venerable with a burst of Chaotic Energy.

"Sizzle!"

The Chaotic Energy was unstoppable. Even the Skull Venerable’s black bones couldn’t withstand it, getting pierced with a small hole.

Ye Fan deployed the deadly techniques of the Emperor Sha, wielding an Immortal Stele approximately a hundred feet tall, entirely black, within his hands.

"Kill!"

Ye Fan, gripping the Immortal Stele, fiercely smashed it toward the Skull Venerable, several Mysterious runes lighting up on the black Immortal Stele, before slamming it into the Skull Venerable’s back of the head.

"Aargh..."

The Skull Venerable shrieked, swinging a palm backward, directly impacting the Immortal Stele and sending it flying.

Ye Fan quickly retreated, his palms cracked. Were it not for the Bai Yan wolf utilizing the Killing Array to prevent the Skull Venerable’s pursuit, he would have been in grave danger.

"Ye Fan, if it doesn’t work, just retreat and let the Killing Array wear him down!"

Lei Mingxiao shouted loudly from outside the Killing Array.

"No need, today I must finish him!"

Ye Fan replied deeply, wanting to take this opportunity to test his strongest combat power, unwilling to give up easily.

"Boom..."

Ye Fan activated the Phoenix Nirvana Technique; his injuries instantly healed.

His black hair fluttered backward, and every strand shimmered with a dazzling luster. He unleashed his strongest combat power, attacking the Skull Venerable once more.

"You’re courting death!"

The Skull Venerable was enraged and humiliated. On one hand, he had to deal with the Bai Yan wolf’s control of the Killing Array’s attacks; on the other hand, he had to guard against Ye Fan, leaving him flustered and overwhelmed.

The heavens and earth boiled over, mountains turned to ash, the ground cracked, and the void tore like paper under attack.

"Crack!"

Ye Fan, using his utmost strength, his golden fist enveloped in Thunder Power and Heaven and Earth Tao Markings, slammed into the Skull Venerable’s calf, directly shattering the leg bone.

"Sizzle..."

A dense Death Aura surged out, enveloping Ye Fan in an atmosphere full of corrosive Death Aura.
