Best Young Master

Just now, he only stuck out half his body and the killing array shattered it. If he hadn’t retreated quickly, he would probably have been obliterated by the array.

The white-eyed wolf’s proficiency in array patterns is indeed profound, but sometimes unreliable. Having him explore the path alone clearly shows a lack of confidence.

If he’s correct, all is well, but if he’s wrong, isn’t he just gambling with his life?

This is an Emperor-level killing array; even a Quasi-Emperor recklessly rushing in could get trapped in the array and eventually be refined alive.

Seeing that Ye Fan refused to test the array with his own body, the white-eyed wolf sheepishly smiled and continued to bury himself in studying the patterns of the array, trying to find a safe path.

Seeing him like this, Ye Fan was furious and wanted to immediately beat him up.

"If you want to get out safely, don’t disturb me."

Seeing Ye Fan’s displeased expression, the white-eyed wolf quickly said, then stared blankly at the complex patterns on the ground.

Ye Fan had a sour face; if he didn’t need the wolf to break the formation, he really wanted to beat the guy up indiscriminately!

"This is a Yin Yang killing array!"

After half a day, the white-eyed wolf suddenly jumped up and shouted.

"What do you mean?" Ye Fan asked.

"It means this killing array is unsolvable. I’ve exhausted all my efforts to deduce a safe path out of the array, but unexpectedly, the path is cut off."

The white-eyed wolf slumped powerlessly to the ground, sighing, "I’m afraid we really can’t get out."

"Is there really no way? Even an Emperor killing array should leave a way out, right? The world isn’t perfect, nor is the Dao; the killing array shouldn’t be without flaws, should it?" Ye Fan said.

"That’s true, but this Yin Yang killing array complements yin and yang, capable of obliterating anyone. Unless we risk walking to the center of the array, there must be two crucial array eyes in the Yin Yang killing array’s center. If we destroy them, the killing array will collapse."

"Then what are we waiting for? Find a path to the center of the array; I don’t want to be trapped and die here."

"I don’t want to either, but to rush into the center requires luck, absolutely nine deaths and one life, and we can’t separate; we must break through together. This array changes constantly; what was a safe zone a moment ago might become a deadly trap the next," the white-eyed wolf said cautiously.

"Then we must break through; hurry up and lead the way!" Ye Fan kicked the white-eyed wolf’s hind leg.

"Follow me!" Without hesitation, the white-eyed wolf stepped out into the virtual space.

This time, those killing lights didn’t appear; instead, it was very calm, as if there were no killing intent at all.

Ye Fan sensed within the virtual space, discovering that the white-eyed wolf stood precisely between the two array patterns, not triggering the array. Only then did he confidently step out.

"Be careful, don’t step on those patterns, or a thousand killing lights will come, and none of us will escape," the white-eyed wolf reminded.

Without needing the reminder, Ye Fan knew those patterns on the ground couldn’t be stepped on and followed the white-eyed wolf cautiously, having already stored the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown in the sea of consciousness.

Even after absorbing the Undead Holy Gold, Elder Xuan remains asleep, showing the damage he suffered in the battle at the Azure Gold Furnace.

Looking around, Ye Fan realized he indeed was in the belly of the mountain. It was an enormous space, yet it felt utterly lifeless, with no signs of life.

Sweat covered the white-eyed wolf’s forehead as he constantly swallowed spirit stones and drank spiritual spring water to replenish the consumed divine power. His white eyes had long rolled over, with a pair of eyes casting eerie green light, looking particularly frightening.

Through repeated deductions, the white-eyed wolf gradually found a seemingly safe path, leading Ye Fan through twists and turns towards the center of the mountain’s belly.

Ye Fan deliberately infused divine power into his steps, leaving deep footprints as if carved into the ground, yet when he turned to look back, he was shocked to find his footprints mysteriously vanished, retaining barely a moment.

"Stop looking; it’s wiped out by the killing array. The Yin Yang killing array contains the world’s primordial essence; our reaching here is already lucky. Were it not for my unrivaled proficiency in array patterns, we would have been wiped out long ago," the white-eyed wolf said, shaking the sweat off his head and fluffing his fur.

Along the way, it exhausted him; how could an Emperor killing array be easily cracked?

Even he almost stepped wrong several times.

Once stepping on the array, thousands of killing lights would attack simultaneously, leaving no time for evasion before being obliterated.

Constantly on edge, the white-eyed wolf was as tired as a dog, tongue hanging out.

However, this journey brought great advancement in his proficiency with array patterns; if even an Emperor killing array can be breached, what array patterns could possibly challenge him?

"I told you, with my proficiency in array patterns, given time, there’s no array I can’t break, even an Emperor killing array—what of it? I walk freely through it, as if an empty land!"

The path was without incident, and as they were about to reach the array’s center, the white-eyed wolf couldn’t help but boast, lifting his big head high.

"Enough boasting; once we’re out, boast all you want. Now, hurry up and lead the way!" Ye Fan slapped its big head.

"Oh no!"

As the white-eyed wolf stepped out, he suddenly exclaimed in shock, startling Ye Fan, thinking he stepped on an array pattern.

"Whoosh!"

A white light flashed, and both Ye Fan and the white-eyed wolf vanished from their spot, disappearing into thin air.

"Swipe!"

The void twisted, and Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf reappeared, already in the center of the mountain’s belly, where a massive stone gate appeared before them.

"Boom..."

The stone gate suddenly opened wide, and a strong corrosive black mist spewed from inside, directly spraying onto Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf.

"Aow..."

Bai Yan wolf let out a miserable cry as its white fur was instantly corroded clean, revealing its skin and flesh, looking particularly comical.

However, it instantly summoned the Purple Gold Bell, unleashing countless strands of thunder power, protecting itself.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan’s Treasure Body emitted golden light, automatically blocking the black mist a foot away from his body, unaffected.

"Is this... an underground palace?"

Bai Yan wolf exclaimed in surprise, then showed great delight, saying, "We’re rich! There must be many buried treasures in a Great Emperor’s underground palace. Just taking one or two pieces will make us wealthy."

"Bang!"

Ye Fan knocked on its smooth head and said, "What time is this? You’re still thinking about treasures? Whether we can get out alive is unknown, what kind of path did you lead? Instead of entering the center of the killing array, we came to such a bizarre place."

"Ye, if you dare disrespect me again, I’ll get angry with you!"

Bai Yan wolf sulkily shook its big head, then operated its divine power, quickly growing a coat of satin-like white fur.

"Boom..."

At this moment, from deep within the underground palace came a series of noises, like waves crashing on the shore, like thousands of horses galloping, the momentum was extremely vast.

Soon after, a chilling aura surged to the sky, as if the cold of late December had struck. Even Ye Fan’s Treasure Body couldn’t help but tremble, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"This is bad, this underground palace isn’t simple. There must be very fierce and terrifying things." Hearing this, Bai Yan wolf’s face became extremely unsightly.

Just as Bai Yan wolf finished speaking, squads of Yin People and Yin Horses rushed out from the entrance of the underground palace, each holding spears and iron spears, clad in ancient iron clothes, with cold light flashing.

"****, why are there so many Yin People and Yin Horses?"

Bai Yan wolf leaped high, and if not for the killing array behind it, it would’ve already run away without a trace.

"No worries, these Yin People and Yin Horses aren’t strong, they’re easy to kill!"

Ye Fan found that these Yin People and Yin Horses were at most in the early-stage of the Holy Embryo Realm, even less. No matter how many, they can’t threaten them.

Phew!

While speaking, Ye Fan made a move, thunder power enveloped his fist, simple, direct, crude, effective, with just one punch, fierce Punch Ray opened a path among the Yin People and Yin Horses, all these yin objects melted away like snow under the scorching sun upon encountering thunder power.

"Turns out they’re not hard to defeat, they scared me!"

Bai Yan wolf felt extremely embarrassed earlier, having been scared by a group of small fry. Now it’s vigorous and majestic, charging ahead into the underground palace with the Purple Gold Bell overhead.

Ye Fan leisurely picked off leftovers behind, pointing directly at those escapees with a finger, thunder power combined with Pure Yang Qi, perfectly countering yin objects, killing them easily.

Despite this, Ye Fan dared not be complacent, knowing that a Great Emperor’s underground palace couldn’t hold only these weak things, there must be formidable figures, letting Bai Yan wolf take the risk was most fitting.

At this moment, Bai Yan wolf was in a killing spree, the Purple Gold Bell enlarged like a huge bell, gently shaking to spread a field of thunder light, slaughtering the Yin People and Yin Horses utterly powerless to resist.

Soon, they entered a grand hall, devoid of any coffins, but filled with many skeletons!

"Roar!"

With a loud roar, a three-meter-tall skeleton stood up from the pile of bones, covered in bone scales, with bluish ghostly flames flickering in its eye sockets like fire.

"Yo? Something useful showed up!"

Bai Yan wolf excited howled, charging forward with the Purple Gold Bell overhead.

This was a powerful yin object equivalent to the Peak of the Divine Power Realm, already possessing Soul Fire, quite powerful. For ordinary cultivators, such a yin object was enough to kill an early-stage Lord Realm strong person.

Because all their attack methods are very bizarre, completely lacking divine power, just attacks with power of death and Soul Fire.

But encountering Bai Yan wolf and Ye Fan as a duo, it’s doomed to bad luck. Bai Yan wolf lightly shook the Purple Gold Bell, a field of thunder power surged over, instantly puncturing its body like a sieve, full of holes.

Then, Ye Fan pointed from a distance, a ray of golden light pierced through its head like an Immortal Sword, extinguishing the Soul Fire.

"You stole my kill again!"

Bai Yan wolf grumbled discontentedly, then continued to charge forward to kill.
