Best Young Master

This man was extremely unyielding, preferring death over submission. In order not to let Ye Fan read his memories, he would rather self-destruct his Divine Soul so that Ye Fan would gain nothing.

However, he still underestimated Ye Fan’s ability. Even though he self-destructed his Divine Soul very promptly, Ye Fan still intercepted a portion of his memories.

It was just that these memories were extremely fragmented and did not touch upon any of this world’s secrets, containing only some vague impressions about this world.

From these scattered memories, Ye Fan could roughly infer what kind of world this actually was.

This world was called the Demon World. There were no Humans, no other living beings at all. Only one kind of creature could survive in this world, and that was the Demon Clan!

The man Ye Fan had just killed was precisely a young strong people of the Demon Clan, ordered to patrol his clan’s Forbidden Land, and unexpectedly ran into the suddenly descended Ye Fan.

Fortunately, he had not passed the news out, so Ye Fan’s Identity would not be exposed.

What surprised Ye Fan the most was that the Demon Clan here actually looked almost identical to Humans in appearance, without any difference. The only distinction was that the Demon Clan relied on absorbing Death Aura to Cultivate, and possessed no Qi and blood of their own!

After obtaining this information, Ye Fan fell into deep thought!

This world made him uneasy; the resemblance to Human-shaped creatures was too great. If not for the fact that this young Demon Clan expert possessed Consciousness and his Death Aura was not that pure, Ye Fan would have almost believed he had traveled along the most Elder Gu Xing Kong Gu Road and arrived at the lair of the Death Creatures.

"Ye, what do we do now?"

The Bai Yan wolf radiated silver light all over, blocking the invasion of Death Aura, and asked Ye Fan.

"First, we thoroughly investigate this world. This Demon World is very unusual. I suspect it has some sort of connection with Human-shaped creatures!"

Ye Fan faintly felt a trace of unease and quickly left with the Bai Yan wolf.

This was an extremely strange world. There were none of the usual living beings, not even Star Sky Profound Beast, yet many plants grew here.

Mountain ranges rose and fell, layer upon layer stretching endlessly, and dense forests extended for tens of millions of li, but not a single plant was green. They were all pitch-black, appearing especially eerie!

Cold moonlight spilled down, and bursts of firelight rose in a mountain hollow. Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf sat beside a clear stream in the hollow.

Hanging over the campfire before them were slabs of golden, glossy jerky. Fat dripped into the fire, producing crackling sounds, and an enticing aroma filled the entire hollow.

Beside them were two wine jars, all brewed from the fruits of Thunderfire Grass, saturated with Thunder Power.

"I’ve decided to pose as a member of the Demon Clan and fully investigate this world first!"

Ye Fan took a sip of wine and made his decision.

"You’d better think it through. Is it worth it for us to stay in this world for too long?"

The Bai Yan wolf swallowed over a hundred jin of roast meat in one bite, then lifted a wine jar and gulped down a mouthful before speaking.

"Don’t you think this world is very strange? I suspect there are no longer any altars here capable of traversing the starry skies. For the safety of the Human Race, I have to do this!"

Ye Fan’s gaze was firm and brooked no doubt.

"Alright then, since you’ve already decided, I have nothing more to say. But what about me? You carry Death Aura on you and can pretend to be Demon Clan. I can’t absorb Death Energy." The Bai Yan wolf said.

"Then you’ll just have to suffer a bit for now. Go hide in the Virtual Space. When there’s no one around, you can come out for some air. If anything happens, you can communicate with me using your Consciousness."

Ye Fan pondered for a moment, then said to the Bai Yan wolf, "However, to avoid exposure, I suggest you’d better not come out. Just Cultivate in peace in the Virtual Space and raise your strength. At critical moments, I’ll be counting on you to help!"

"How is this any different from being locked up in prison?" The Bai Yan wolf wailed.

However, it did not object, because it also knew this world was not suitable for it. If discovered by those of the Demon Clan, not only would it be in trouble, it would also implicate Ye Fan.

After putting the Bai Yan wolf into the Virtual Space, Ye Fan left it a large quantity of Heaven Grade Spirit Stone and some Beast Core and such inside, for its Cultivation use.

In addition, there were also many corpses of Star Sky Profound Beast in the Virtual Space. Ye Fan imprinted his roasting techniques into its sea of consciousness so it wouldn’t bother him out of boredom.

Lastly, Ye Fan personally entered the Virtual Space and placed Soul gathering Grass and other Immortal Materials that could be refined into Soul Gathering Pill inside an Array, so they wouldn’t be stolen and eaten by it.

Before coming out, Ye Fan repeatedly warned the Bai Yan wolf to curb its greed. Those things were for saving people, extremely difficult to gather, so absolutely nothing could happen to them.

Only after obtaining the Bai Yan wolf’s repeated assurances did he leave the Virtual Space with peace of mind.

The Array in the Virtual Space was linked to his Consciousness. At the slightest disturbance he could sense it, so he did not have to worry about the Bai Yan wolf taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

In truth, he was being overly cautious. Although the Bai Yan wolf was a scoundrel, it was very loyal. Knowing how much Ye Fan valued these Spiritual Medicine, it would definitely not act recklessly.

After leaving the Virtual Space, Ye Fan circulated his Mystical Skill, completely withdrawing his Qi and blood, and then released his Death Aura!

At this moment, he was no different from the Demon Clan. Unless it was Quasi-Emperor Realm strong people whose strength far surpassed his, no one could see through the terrifying Qi and blood dormant within his body.

"Swoosh!"

Ye Fan’s eyes turned silver-white, looking especially bizarre!

Many strange creatures lived within this mountain range. Some of them looked very much like Xuan Beast, yet they were not Xuan Beast, because the creatures of this world, like the Demon Clan, all had no Qi and blood, only mixed and impure Death Energy.

"Roar..."

A thunderous roar rang out, and from the mountains and forests a black lizard over a hundred zhang long shot into the sky, twin horns on its head, looking just like the Demon Dragon from Western legends on Earth.

Demon Dragon is a general term; many powerful dark creatures can be called Demon Dragons, but true Demon Dragons are almost nonexistent.

This big lizard is also a type of Demon Dragon, yet it isn’t a true Demon Dragon, but rather a powerful creature.

"Hoo!"

The big lizard opened its mouth and spewed out a jet of ink-black flame, instantly burning all the vegetation within a radius of a thousand meters into ash.

"Yee..."

On the ground scorched by the black flames, the earth suddenly split open, and a giant python a hundred zhang long drilled out from underground, its entire body covered in black Scale Armor, as if cast from pig iron, brimming with a sense of power.

"Sss sss..."

This giant python was clearly enraged by the massive lizard in the sky; it soared into the air and likewise spat out a mouthful of black Qi, which turned into a Killing Sword and slashed toward the big lizard.

"Clang!"

The Killing Sword condensed from black Qi slashed onto the big lizard’s body, sending up a spray of sparks, yet it failed to break through its Scale Armor defense.

"Hiss~"

Ye Fan sucked in a cold breath. These creatures were too terrifying. The more he looked, the more that big lizard resembled a Hell Demon Dragon, and that giant python also looked very much like the legendary eight-headed serpent.

Ye Fan suspected that perhaps the ancients on Earth had also once walked this Xing Kong Gu Road; otherwise, how could they have left behind such legends?

But thinking it through carefully, it was impossible. How many years has the Human Race existed on Earth? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? Or a million?

Clearly impossible. Humans with recorded history had only existed for a bit over ten thousand years, while this ancient Xing Kong Gu Road had existed for at least tens of millions of years, perhaps even hundreds of millions.

So the legends on Earth couldn’t possibly have originated from this Xing Kong Gu Road, and could only be fabrications and imaginings of Humans.

He shook his head, throwing away these pointless thoughts. Ye Fan let his divine consciousness unfurl, covering several thousand li around him, yet he didn’t discover any place where the Demon Clan gathered.

Right now he urgently needed an Identity, one that could allow him to blend into the Demon Clan, otherwise, once his Identity was exposed, he would almost certainly die.

On this Ancient Star, he sensed several extremely powerful auras. Although they were completely different from those of the Human Race and the Star Sky Profound Beasts, their strength was beyond doubt.

Ye Fan circulated Death Aura along the pathways he had opened within his body in endless cycles, and a natural Death Aura slowly emanated from him.

Three days later, he was already ten thousand li away from that previous mountain hollow, yet he still hadn’t walked out of the overlapping mountain ranges and primeval jungle.

"This world is too big, hardly any smaller than the Xuan Realm, at least equivalent to half the Xuan Realm."

Ye Fan sighed with emotion.

After trekking for these three days, he gradually adapted to this world’s environment. He believed that if he encountered Demon Clan people again at this moment, he probably wouldn’t be exposed.

During these three days, the Bai Yan wolf had come out several times, saying it was bored to death inside, but in this world it couldn’t stay out for too long.

After Ye Fan’s earnest persuasion, it finally settled down and entered seclusion to bitterly Cultivate within the Virtual Space.

The Death Aura in this world was extremely dense; at least compared to other planets, this place could practically be called a land of death.

Yet in such an environment, strange life forms had actually been birthed, which couldn’t help but make one marvel at the wonder of life.

Ye Fan had practically Sealed his own blood and Qi, making his face look slightly pale, which made him seem even more like a member of the Demon Clan!

On a mountain summit, Ye Fan sat cross-legged, comprehending the Primordial Law of this heaven and earth; around him, Death Energy wrapped him up like a silkworm cocoon.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when Ye Fan gradually captured the rhythm and Primordial Law of this heaven and earth. A strange Heaven and Earth Tao Markings was traced out by him and sank into his Dantian.

At this moment, he suddenly felt intense fluctuations coming from the distant Death Aura, and as his eyes opened and closed, two streaks of silver light shot out.

At the distant end of the sky, a Demon Clan girl in tattered clothes was fleeing for her life. Behind her, over a dozen young Demon Clan strong people were in hot pursuit, clearly wanting to put her to death.

"Hm?"

Ye Fan’s heart stirred, and he stood up.

He was just worrying about not having an Identity that could integrate into the Demon Clan. If he could rescue this Demon Clan girl being hunted down, he could naturally blend into the Demon Clan. "This is really like getting a pillow when you’re dozing off!"

Ye Fan smiled faintly and unfolded Chasing Star Step, vanishing from the summit in an instant, shooting toward the hunted Demon Clan girl as if crossing through space.
