Best Young Master

A cosmic omen appeared, and the entire Eighteen Cities were shaken!

Everyone was utterly stunned, staring at the great sun hanging above the Ancient City, their expressions filled with shock!

"Fire Silk Star, that’s the legendary Fire Silk Star!"

An elder with snow‑white hair and beard was so excited his whiskers trembled, and he stammered as he spoke.

"Could this be that so‑called once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity?"

"What lies within that sun?"

"Could it be nurturing Sun God Gold?"

The crowd erupted, voices buzzing, all kinds of guesses flying.

People could clearly see that from that enormous sun to the sky above the Ancient City, space itself was twisted.

Although right now this great sun looked as if it were within reach, in reality no one knew how many vast Star Domains lay between.

Only because of the distortion of space did it appear above the Ancient City; this was definitely a spectacle unseen since ancient times!

"Charge!"

Some older generation strong people tried to compete maliciously, unleashing a burst of Divine Light to block the younger generation strong people from stepping onto this sun, using their movement technique to rush into the sky.

However, after just rising three zhang, it was as if they crashed into some barrier, slamming into it until their heads spun, tumbling down in a daze and making a joke of themselves.

"Hahahaha..."

Many of the city’s residents burst into laughter. These old geezers usually strutted around like big‑tailed wolves, all solemn and dignified; it was rare to see them suffer a setback.

"Serves you right!"

"No respect for your age, actually blocking the young from fighting for their opportunity!"

"You’re already so old, stop being so competitive. What if you break an arm or a leg? Totally not worth it!"

"..."

Many young Trialists spoke out, mocking and ridiculing them, leaving those older generation strong people staring helplessly, their beards twitching with anger.

"Swoosh!"

A tall demonic silhouette shot out, landing directly on the Cai Hong Bridge, and in an instant sped along the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge into the Fire Silk Star.

"Jiang Sheng actually rushed in first, we’d better hurry too." Many people were astonished, then one after another they charged toward the Cai Hong Bridge.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"..."

Figures descended onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge one after another, and in an instant sped along it into the Fire Silk Star. They were all young Trialists; not a single older generation strong person.

"Let me try!"

One of the elders was unwilling to accept this and slowly flew into the air, walking step by step toward the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge.

People watched nervously. Whether he could smoothly step onto the Fire Silk Star would determine if this opportunity was one only the younger generation could contend for or if the older generation could as well. It was of great significance.

"Boom!"

That elder was instantly bounced back by the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge, falling in a heap, dust‑covered and disgraced, completely unable to find footing on the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge.

Many Trialists who considered themselves unqualified to compete for this opportunity burst into laughter.

They did not rush toward the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge, because they knew that in a place like this the competition would definitely be incomparably brutal. With their cultivation, entering the Fire Silk Star was the same as seeking death.

To be able to witness this moment was already enough for them!

"Roar..."

Xiao Peng Emperor let out a long howl, like a Heavenly God, and the few Trialists blocking his path were shattered to pieces by the sound, a rain of blood falling from the sky.

Bathed in blood rain, he stepped onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge, flickered, and vanished, entering the Fire Silk Star!

This scene shocked quite a few people!

"Xiao Peng Emperor is indeed powerful, he has the bearing of a Great Emperor!" someone sighed.

Ever since stepping onto the Xing Kong Gu Road, Xiao Peng Emperor had yet to taste defeat, practically sweeping his opponents, becoming one of the strongest Young Supremes without controversy, famed alongside Ba Cangtian, Martial Immortal, Prince Yue and the others.

This time, clashes between Young Supremes were inevitable. Everyone was eagerly anticipating: who could defeat all rivals and stand out?

The great sun hung across the sky, the rainbow acting as a bridge, linking the Ancient City and the great sun together.

Countless Cultivators stepped onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge, entering the Fire Silk Star to seek that so‑called once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity.

Yue Haoyu, Yue Chuan, Wen TaDou, Li Yu’er, the Great Demon, and Yu chanzi—six people—stepped onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge together.

Around them, there was not a single other person!

This was a terrifying lineup; everyone knew that like Ye Fan, they came from Linxian Ancient Star, yet no one dared provoke them.

The direct descendants of two Great Emperors, the ancient and mysterious Emperor Wen’s successor, a Clumsy Fist Inheritor comparable to a Great Emperor, a Buddha, and a Demon Child—such a lineup could absolutely sweep the Xing Kong Gu Road without a rival.

"I understand now!"

Just then, an elder spoke dejectedly: "This Cai Hong Immortal Bridge must be able to measure a Cultivator’s bone age. After a certain age, one simply cannot enter."

Hearing him say so, quite a few older generation strong people cast disdainful looks at him.

They had long since thought of this. If it weren’t for such a Forbidden restriction, there was no way they wouldn’t be able to step onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge.

This was an opportunity prepared specifically for the young Trialists; it had nothing to do with them.

"Linxian Ancient Star, huh..."

A burly young man with shoulder‑length black hair swept a cold gaze over the crowd, then strode toward the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge in the Void.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"..."

Every step he took was like stomping on solid ground, making the Void tremble endlessly. His surging blood and qi were like a blazing furnace that could refine ten thousand living beings.

"That man is Linxian Ancient Star’s mortal enemy, a strong person from Jiang Sheng Star, named Baling. His strength is terrifying beyond belief!" someone whispered.

"Ssshh!"

Just as he was about to step onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge, Baling turned his head. Two razor‑sharp beams shot out from his eyes and directly pierced through that man’s glabella.

"Bang!"

The cultivator who had just been whispering about him fell over backward, dead on the spot. Even in death he never imagined Baling would dare kill him in public.

Everyone shivered in fear!

He killed a powerful Trialist with just a glance. Baling truly was insanely overbearing!

"Now the Heavenly Pride from Linxian Ancient Star are in trouble!" Only after he vanished upon the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge did people dare to speak.

From their discussion, Ye Fan unexpectedly learned that Baling and Jiang Sheng both came from Jiang Sheng Star, and that their ancestor was the same person.

Back then, their ancestor was also a peerless Heavenly Pride on the Xing Kong Gu Road. He fought the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor from the Lord Realm all the way to the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Layer Heaven, always neck and neck, and was the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor’s most powerful rival.

Later, the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor still defeated him at the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Layer Heaven Peak, thereby cementing his own path of Proving Dao.

One could say Baling’s ancestor was a tragic figure—astoundingly gifted by heaven, yet helplessly ran into the even more monstrous Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor, and in the end fell into the ranks of the losers.

However, though he lost, he did not die!

The magnanimous Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor did not kill him to the last; instead, he gifted him an Immortal Elixir, helping him live a second life.

In the end, he died suppressing a dark upheaval, fighting to the death to slay a newly‑Proving‑Dao Great Emperor among the Human-shaped creatures.

Even though the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor did his utmost to smooth things over, Linxian Ancient Star and Jiang Sheng Star still remained mortal enemies!

Especially on the road of Proving Dao—Jiang Sheng Star was also an Ancient Land of life, a Life Origin Star that had produced several Great Emperors as well.

On the Xing Kong Gu Road, Trialists were as numerous as carps crossing the river, coming from every Star Domain, including Ancient Lands of life. But among those qualified to vie for the final Emperor Road of Proving Dao, there were only a handful of Life Origin, and Linxian Ancient Star and Jiang Sheng Star were the strongest contenders.

Of course, this didn’t mean other Ancient Star of Life hadn’t produced strong people. Opportunity was equal to everyone.

In the distant past, did cultivators from Earth also step onto this most supreme trial path?

Ye Fan’s thoughts wandered wildly. He thought of Earth’s ancient legends—the Flame God, Zhu Rong, the Water God, Gonggong, Xuanyuan, Shennong, Fu Xi, Zhuanxu, Chiyou...

Were those peak existences who could shift mountains and fill seas, pluck stars and seize moons, truly real, or merely mythic tales people fabricated?

If they were real, then ancient Earth definitely wasn’t how it is now. Perhaps it also once qualified to step onto this strongest trial road.

Since the ancient forebears could step onto this Ancient Road, there should also be a way to leave, right?

Ye Fan’s heart burned hot. He seemed to have thought of a path that could lead him back to Earth.

While he was lost in thought, more people stepped onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge, resolutely setting foot on the road to seek a fortune that shook the ages.

Among them, the Divine Prince was particularly eye‑catching!

With the Identity of the own son of the Sky-Breaking God Emperor, he drew attention wherever he went.

Especially since his looks weren’t bad, his whole body shrouded in a faint Divine Light that set him off like a Divine being.

Countless strong people surged onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge. The number of cultivators within the Eighteen Cities noticeably decreased. In just an instant, over a thousand people had already ascended the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge and descended onto Fire Silk Star.

However, Fire Silk Star’s environment also barred a huge number of people from stepping on!

The temperature on Fire Silk Star was terrifyingly high, melting gold and dissolving iron. Those whose Cultivation was a bit weaker turned to ash the moment they landed.

This scene made many people back off!

"Everyone weigh yourselves carefully. Without sufficient strength, it’s best not to join the crowd, lest you throw your life away for nothing!" The City Lord of the eighteenth City warned the crowd.

"Buzz!"

Right at this moment, a wave of Emperor Level aura suddenly pulsed from Fire Silk Star, instantly making many people seem like they’d been injected with chicken blood, throwing caution to the wind as they rushed onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge.

Of course, the fate of many was to be burned into flying sparks shortly after landing on Fire Silk Star, dying tragically!

"Hm?"

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes. He saw that five young Demon Clan geniuses led by Tu Sihai had also appeared.

They left their quarters and headed for the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge in the sky, clearly intending to go to Fire Silk Star to fish in troubled waters and ambush Trialists of the Human Race or Demon Clan.

Tu Sihai’s group of five were also very hesitant, not sure if they should follow and go in. This so‑called fortune that shook the ages was beyond his expectations.

Originally, he had thought this so‑called fortune would be the appearance of a Secret Realm, but it turned out to be Fire Silk Star!

The Supreme Yang Power on Fire Silk Star greatly suppressed them. That was also why they hadn’t shown up at first.

Later, they still decided to enter Fire Silk Star and hunt Human Race Trialists!

Because they knew very well that anyone capable of setting foot on Fire Silk Star was an elite among the Human Race’s younger generation. Killing one meant one fewer.

Moreover, they could use the Death Aura released when they slew these Human elites to strengthen themselves.

They had no intention of letting such a gain‑by‑harming‑others opportunity slip by.

"Swoosh!"

The five of them stepped onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge at the same time, descending onto Fire Silk Star.

"Courting death!"

Ye Fan snorted coldly. His figure flickered as he too stepped onto the Cai Hong Immortal Bridge, not needing to move at all, turning into a rainbow and shooting straight toward Fire Silk Star in the sky!
