Best Young Master

The Thunder Sea was overwhelming, and Ye Fan’s Heavenly Tribulation shocked everyone present, even causing those at the Saint Lord level to draw a sharp breath.

This was the exclusive domain of demons—a normal cultivator might never attract their own Heavenly Tribulation in their lifetime. Only a demon like Ye Fan could attract such a tribulation upon a breakthrough.

And Ye Fan was a demon among demons!

Because...

He wasn’t breaking through a Great Realm, but merely a Xiao realm, yet the Heavenly Tribulation he attracted was more terrifying than that which many geniuses encounter during a Great Realm breakthrough.

For him, just breaking through a Xiao realm warranted a Heavenly Tribulation, delayed his advancement.

Of course, what shocked people the most was the Heavenly Prince, who was able to freely enter and exit the Heavenly Tribulation, using Divine Power Martial Techniques without attracting his own Heavenly Tribulation—this was simply unbelievable.

"He must have some Secret Treasure capable of masking his aura, preventing the Heavenly Dao from sensing his presence, otherwise he would certainly attract his own tribulation."

Speculation ran rampant, with many believing the Heavenly Prince had some kind of Secret Treasure to conceal himself from Heaven’s perception, allowing him to fight those undergoing tribulation without triggering his own.

"Perhaps he’s just too powerful, completely ignoring the punishment of the Heavenly Tribulation..."

While people speculated, some Saint Lord-level strong people saw, through the violent Thunder Sea, the scene of the Heavenly Prince swatting Ye Fan away, causing many human cultivators to feel their hearts sink.

Ye Fan was seen as an idol and monument for the young generation of the human race, a mountain they aspired to surpass.

Should Ye Fan fall, it would mean the demon clan trampled on the spirit and faith of the human race’s youth, a devastating blow to their morale!

Luckily, this was a Xiao realm breakthrough tribulation, not as terrifying as a Great Realm one, and it didn’t last long.

In a sudden, the tribulation vanished as suddenly as it appeared, the sky cleared, countless stars twinkled, and a bright moon hung high, casting a cool glow.

The entire Chi Yue Ridge was devastated by the tribulation; neighboring peaks were collateral damage, split apart by the tribulation’s strike.

The land was crisscrossed with fissures, like a dense spider web, reducing Chi Yue Ridge to ashes, forever obliterated.

After an angry roar, Ye Fan stood in the void, his body crackling, his shattered half restored quickly, emitting a faint Golden Light.

Strands of purple Thunder Power coursed around him like small dragons, gazing across the endless distance at the Heavenly Prince, his body radiating a terrifying aura.

Peak of Mid Lord Realm!

Ye Fan was astonished. Having overcome the tribulation, he not only broke through the mid-stage Lord Realm barrier but was nearly propelled directly into late-stage.

With thick accumulation and long-term buildup, a breakthrough naturally leads to an explosive growth.

The tribulation receded, the Thunder Sea dissipated, Ye Fan drank the Life Source Liquid from the Treasure Pavilion, changed his clothes, and stood tall, filled with spiritual energy. His eyes were deep and skin crystal clear, shimmering with a treasure-like light, spotless and flawless.

"Hmph!"

The Heavenly Prince coldly snorted, saying, "Without the protection of the Heavenly Tribulation, even if you’ve reached the peak of mid-stage Lord Realm, you won’t escape death!"

"Then come and try! Let’s see who won’t escape death!"

Ye Fan was full of War Intent; after reaching the peak of mid-stage Lord Realm, his understanding of the law of elements became clearer, feeling much stronger than before, able to break the heavens with a gesture.

"I’ll grant your wish for death!"

Each strand of the Heavenly Prince’s hair glistened, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Kill!"

The Heavenly Prince bellowed, surging sound waves shook the shattered mountain range ahead, collapsing it as he punched at Ye Fan.

A roar capable of shattering rivers and mountains!

The Heavenly Prince showcased supreme strength, far surpassing fellow Emperor’s son, Ancient Immortal.

Hoo!

Ye Fan was fearless, his body radiating treasure-like light, meeting the attack with Emperor Xuan’s Fist, his golden fist piercing eternity, sweeping across the Three Realms and Six Paths.

"Boom!"

Their fists collided fiercely, a wave of destruction radiated, radiant light shone like an erupting sun, illuminating the entire Chi Yue Ridge. Many cultivators couldn’t help but scream, closing their eyes as blood streamed.

"Terrifying!"

"Such a strike could almost threaten an Early-Stage Venerable strong person, right?"

People were shocked. Such a strike would harm even the Supreme Elder of the Holy Land, seeming beyond what two young people could achieve.

"Ye Fan’s situation doesn’t look good!"

"Facing the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s child, his odds aren’t high, after all, his Emperor Bloodline isn’t as pure as his opponent’s!"

"The Heavenly Prince was personally guided by the Sky Demon Emperor as a child and even battled him at the same realm, the treasures given by his father were immense!"

"Ye Fan reached today entirely through effort and opportunity, inferior in innate conditions to the Heavenly Prince, losing from the starting line!"

People debated, generally not optimistic about Ye Fan, believing even at the peak of mid-stage Lord Realm, he still lagged a realm behind the Demon Prince.

Cultivation becomes harder to advance with progression, each Xiao realm gap is formidable, unless it’s a peerless demon, hardly anyone can advance against the flow to defeat immortals, striking above.

Indeed, Ye Fan was a demon among demons, facing ordinary cultivators, spanning two Xiao realms to defeat them was feasible.

During the previous major comparison with the demon clan, he proved this with actions.

However—

The Heavenly Prince is equally impressive, possessing the power to fight across different realms. Given the disparity in realms, Ye Fan’s chances of winning are not high.

"Heavenly Prince, kill him, avenge the brothers who died by his hand, and avenge Lan Xian’er!"

The Demon Clan camp erupted in cheers, as they had great confidence in the Heavenly Prince.

With the Heavenly Prince at the Three Star Demon Realm, even some older generation Demon Clan strong people were not his match, let alone the human Ye Fan.

In their view, the Heavenly Prince was just warming up. If Ye Fan hadn’t broken through to the Mid-Stage of the Lord Realm and attracted the Heavenly Tribulation, he would probably have been turned to ashes by the Heavenly Prince already.

"This is getting interesting, but if that’s all the strength you have, you still can’t escape death!"

The Heavenly Prince sneered coldly. Although shocked by Ye Fan’s power, he didn’t show it on his face and instead taunted him.

"Heh heh..."

Ye Fan sneered, holding up three fingers, saying indifferently, "Thirty percent!"

Thirty percent?

The Heavenly Prince was stunned, then flew into a rage. Ye Fan was clearly saying he had only used thirty percent of his strength, which was blatant contempt.

"You’ve had your turn. Now, it’s mine!"

Ye Fan roared, shattering mountains and rivers as he charged at the Heavenly Prince with his fist.

At this moment, he thought of the fallen Wenren Jing and Gu Hao, turning his grief and anger into combat power, instantly pushing his spiritual energy to its peak.

"Buzz!"

This punch, Ye Fan gathered his most formidable attack power, using the Xuandi Fist as the foundation, incorporating the Domineering Fist’s supreme domineering energy, and the Heaven Slaying Divine Spear’s overpowering destruction spear intent that obliterated all obstacles.

At this moment, it was as if Ye Fan was facing a young Emperor Sha, maximizing his combat power, as various realizations flooded in.

The time spent in Emperor Sha’s Palace over this past year had not been in vain.

During that year, he had meticulously refined his martial arts, divine skills, and secret techniques, gaining deeper understanding.

Especially the Divine Soul Resonance Sound Wave Technique, a miracle technique. For so long, Ye Fan had not been able to comprehend the second Heavenly Sound. During the tribulation, he suddenly had a flash of insight and attained the second Heavenly Sound.

A year of enlightenment and continuous life-or-death battles with the Eternal Slaughter Emperor had enriched Ye Fan’s combat experience immensely, making him more adept at using martial arts and divine skills, secret techniques.

At this moment, he infused all of this into a single strike, aiming to end it in one move, severely injuring or even erasing the Heavenly Prince!

"Seal!"

Ye Fan shouted, a beam of light shot from his mouth, resembling Innate Primordial Essence Qi. Strands of Heaven and Earth Tao Markings soared like dragons within the light.

"Buzz!"

The light instantly enveloped the Heavenly Prince, transforming the Heaven and Earth Tao Markings into chains that sealed the Heavenly Prince’s Divine Power within.

Immediately after, with a "bang," Ye Fan’s fist struck heavily against the Heavenly Prince’s chest, passing through, grasping half of a bleeding heart.

"Ah..."

The Heavenly Prince exclaimed, his body shattered instantly, multicolored blood splattered, leaving only a head mostly intact, the face twisted.

"Hiss..."

The Demon Clan camp gasped, the young Demon cultivators who cheered for the Heavenly Prince made strangled noises as if someone gripped their throats, but they couldn’t utter a word.

They stared wide-eyed at Ye Fan, as if asking: How did he do it?

"Poof!"

As if responding to those young Demons, a flicker of light flashed in Ye Fan’s hand, turning the half-heart to ash, then he slowly turned, coldly staring at the Heavenly Prince.

"I underestimated you!"

The Heavenly Prince’s head said through gritted teeth, "But this won’t affect the final outcome. Next, you won’t have any chance!"

"Oh, really?"

Ye Fan responded coldly, struck at him with a seemingly gentle palm as if carrying no power.

"Swoosh!"

The Heavenly Prince’s head instantly moved a thousand feet sideways, then utilized the Heavenly Demon Technique to quickly restore his body, multicolored blood flowed back, flesh regenerated, fully healing in a blink.

"Hiss~"

People gasped. How could a battle be won like this?

For cultivators, life is precious. With the Heavenly Prince’s unparalleled bloodline and such a secret technique, he could exhaust Ye Fan to death through sheer attrition.

Yet, people were more astounded by Ye Fan’s prowess, who had just broken through to the Mid-Stage of the Lord Realm, yet could severely injure the unparalleled bloodline Heavenly Prince in one blow—simply incredible!
