Best Young Master

"Did he... did he really go in?"

"Isn’t he afraid of death?"

"So many people are clearly out to get him, yet he dares to enter the trial arena. Is he crazy?"

"Does he have some hidden card that we don’t know about?"

"Even if he has a hidden card, what use is it? He’s just a little cultivator in the mid-stage of the lord realm, while the leader of the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders, even his mount is nearly a Holy Beast in the Venerable Realm. Just imagine how powerful his cultivation must be!"

"This young man is doomed. It’s a pity that we don’t know from which star domain he came."

Outside the Purgatory Trial Ground, those trialists who hadn’t entered yet were all discussing, believing that Ye Fan had no chance of surviving. The opponents he faced were just too strong.

The commander let out a slight cold laugh, a barely noticeable sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"The Purgatory Trial Ground is not just about understanding the primordial laws of this world, the secret technique of the great Tao, but there are also many powerful star sky profound beasts. It can be said that danger lurks at every step. That young man not only has to face these powerful beasts, but also rivals like the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders. His chances of survival are almost nil!"

A middle-aged cultivator shook his head and sighed as he walked into the trial arena.

"Even he has entered the trial arena, what are we waiting for? Are we going to face a more difficult situation than him?"

Others who hadn’t entered the trial arena saw Ye Fan rushing in without hesitation and felt deeply urged, quickly heading into the trial arena.

Before entering the trial arena, there was a long passage shimmering with colorful light, like Liu Li, magnificent beyond compare.

After passing through this beautiful passage, what appeared was a vast and boundless world, teeming with life, with apes and tigers roaring, and from time to time the distant cries of profound beasts echoed through the ears.

Though there is only one passage, to prevent trialists from ambushing each other upon entry, different entry points are set unless they enter together into the trial arena.

Just upon entering the trial arena, Ye Fan encountered an attack from a Vajra Ape, a star sky profound beast covered in golden fur, much stronger than the beasts of the Xuan Realm, with claws as sharp as the Heavenly Blade.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan’s golden fist crossed the sky, smashing the powerful star sky profound beast with one punch, blood spilling like rain, flesh flying everywhere.

"Not good, let’s get out of here."

At this sight, Bai Yan wolf’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly carrying Ye Fan and galloping towards another direction.

Ye Fan instantly realized, Vajra Apes are seldom solitary. They are usually found in groups, and once one is killed, the scent of blood will quickly attract a pack. By then, facing an unknown number of apes, they would be extremely passive.

Fortunately, this trial arena is vast enough, comparable to an ancient star of life. As long as they’re careful, they might evade the ape pack.

"Buzz!"

While Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf were avoiding the ape pack, a giant hand suddenly appeared, with its edge akin to a blade, striking at Ye Fan. Its vigorous blood energy surged like a dragon, the killing intent filling the field, making the surrounding temperature drop significantly.

"Looking for death!"

Ye Fan’s blood energy surged skyward, faint golden light emanating from him, enveloped by the purple thunder power, met the strike with a counter punch.

"Bang!"

Blood sprayed, bones shattered, blood mist soared, and the cultivator who ambushed Ye Fan was punched to pieces without even a groan.

With just one punch!

Only one punch was needed for Ye Fan to blast the ambusher into pieces, as the blood mist cleared, fragments scattered in the mountains.

The cultivator had just spotted Ye Fan, intending to gauge Ye Fan’s strength to ingratiate himself with Young Master Pang Xie, but didn’t expect to be blasted by a single punch. He couldn’t believe it until his death.

That fear accompanied his life’s end, in his last moment, he was so full of regret, but time cannot be reversed, and his life’s imprint faded away completely.

Blood stained the weeds, fragments lay among dried branches and fallen leaves, the bloody scene was shocking.

Ye Fan didn’t pay any attention, turning around and staring at the distant mountains.

"Come out, let me see how many people actually want to kill me."

Ye Fan stared coldly at the distant mountains and said.

"Brother, please don’t misunderstand, we have no intention of being your enemy, we’re merely passing by!"

Seven young trialists came out from behind the mountains and cupped their hands towards Ye Fan.

They had witnessed the horrifying scene just now, the bloody scene chilled their hearts. This young man’s strength was extraordinary, the ambusher was at least a strong cultivator at the mid-stage of Lord Realm, yet he was instantly killed by Ye Fan. Just how much combat power does it take to do that?

Becoming enemies with such a powerful figure is not wise, especially since they have no previous grievances with Ye Fan. Naturally, they didn’t want to make enemies while trying to understand the primordial laws and the great Tao.

Since the others harbored no hostility, Ye Fan naturally wouldn’t create strong enemies. Each of them was a strong figure in their domain, to walk the road of the strongest trial, none of them were ordinary.

After contemplating for a moment, Ye Fan decided to delve into the center of the trial arena. Since he sought to understand the primordial laws and the great Tao, the environment in the center of the trial arena must be the best.

The Great Tao is fifty, Heaven uses forty-nine, leaving behind one, embodying the change of nature.

Therefore, to understand the primordial laws and the great Tao of Heaven and Earth, grasping just one is sufficient. This is the reason so many pass the trial; even the Ancient Emperor in his youth might not have fully comprehended all.

This is an island filled with a wilderness atmosphere, larger than a mainland, floating coldly in the cosmos, eternally indestructible, even an Ancient Star of Life may not be so vast.

Majestic ancient mountains, towering peaks, stand like walls between heaven and earth, stretching forward with ancient trees rooted in the soil, teeming with vitality.

Many ancient vines enwrap themselves, each as thick as a barrel, having grown for countless years, resembling coiled dragons winding around, lying on the giant mountains, dangling across cliffs thousands of feet below.

In the wilderness mountain forest, apes screech and tigers roar, cranes cry and eagles call, emitting a primitive and vast aura, completely resembling a pre-primordial scene.

This is a barbaric world, preserving the most primitive features, with numerous ancient medicines, those with several thousand years of age are not uncommon, and some have survived for tens of thousands of years.

Neither Ye Fan nor Bai Yan wolf casually picked those Medicine Kings that had survived over ten thousand years, instead, they continued walking forward.

"Roar..."

A fierce roar echoed through the world, a giant bear over thirty feet tall strode from the forest, dragging behind it a serpent dragon nearly lifeless.

Clearly, it was its trophy, looking for a place to feast heartily.

"Uh..."

Bai Yan wolf’s eyes nearly cramped in fear, the strength of this giant bear undoubtedly had reached the Saint Lord Level, excessively fierce.

However, it seemed the bear was uninterested in Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf, perhaps because it had just hunted a prey and thus was indifferent towards them!

Ye Fan did not proactively provoke this giant bear with Saint Lord Level strength, both sides peacefully walked away from each other.

Ye Fan did not ride Bai Yan wolf; instead, he traversed this trial arena on foot, since it was known as the Purgatory Trial Ground, the current tranquility appeared abnormal.

The Purgatory Trial Ground certainly concealed unimaginable dangers, otherwise the test and trial would have no significance.

However, he greatly anticipated comprehending the primordial essence and the Heaven and Earth Great Tao of this world.

From the moment he entered the trial arena, he vaguely sensed that it was an expansive world with a unique Essence of Tao.

Ye Fan paced the world on foot, capturing the world’s special Essence of Tao, guarding it would greatly enhance his strength.

"Hiss hiss..."

A hundred-foot-long giant snake stretched out before him, its snake head as large as a house raised high, its one-foot-long tongue flicking, drool dripping to the ground, instantaneously dissolving the stone into fractures.

Behind this giant snake lay a deep cavern, radiating terrifying waves, evidently it had given birth, afraid human cultivators would steal its children.

"I mean no harm, you need not be so hostile."

Ye Fan spoke, signaling Bai Yan wolf to exert the Imperial Family lineage’s pressure to see if it could subdue the giant snake.

Bai Yan wolf shook its head, "This fellow’s bloodline is not lesser than mine; merely relying on bloodline power cannot subdue it."

"I have no intention to disturb your peace, but if you insist on striking, then I must stand my ground."

Ye Fan wanted to avoid conflicts with the Xuan Beasts upon entering the trial arena, except for being ambushed by the Vajra Ape.

His adversaries were not only these Xuan Beasts but primarily the City Lord’s son, Young Master Pang Xie, and the Iron Blooded Fifteen Riders, along with the young woman whose mount, the Golden Eagle, had been slain by him.

Until dealing with these foes, he avoided unnecessary complications.

That hundred-foot giant snake clearly awakened its Spiritual Wisdom long ago; previously, human cultivators came arrogantly hunting local Xuan Beasts that now proved agreeable, leaving it skeptical and incredulous.

However—

At this moment, it safeguarded its offspring, unsure of the human cultivators’ numbers, it dared not act rashly, instead retracting into the cave, clearing the path for Ye Fan.

Finally, Ye Fan found a mountain peak, sitting atop a smooth stone, quietly grasping the primordial laws and Heaven and Earth Great Tao of this world.

Bai Yan wolf stood nearby, looking far into the vast and boundless earth, invoking Heavenly Order Law to cultivate.

Being a Xuan Beast itself, Bai Yan wolf was acutely sensitive to this world’s primordial laws, entering the realm of revelation sooner than Ye Fan.

"You truly endure! Despite not ensuring survival, you sit here aspiring to complete the trial, wishful thinking!"

A cold voice resounded.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

...

Subsequent fleeting shadows, over thirty people appeared atop the opposite mountain, surprisingly among them were Divine City’s guards, not solely Young Master Pang Xie’s followers.
