Best Young Master

Repeated defeat in battle was a huge blow to Ye Fan, but at the same time, it was also an important tempering and setback.

If you don’t go through wind and rain, how can you see the rainbow? A life without setbacks is incomplete!

Ever since he came to this world, Ye Fan couldn’t say he’d never failed, but no one had ever defeated him while at the same realm.

Never!

And the appearance of the young Emperor Sha was a heavy blow to the head, making him understand that there is always a higher sky, always someone stronger than you.

This setback was absolutely timely for him; otherwise, once he stepped onto the Xing Kong Gu Road, who knew how terrifying the enemies he would encounter might be? In that situation, would they show mercy like the young Emperor Sha?

The answer was clear: no!

It had to be known that on every Ancient Star of Life, there would be peak experts of the younger generation; cross‑realm combat was not something only he could do—others could do it as well.

Even in this world, the Ancient Prince of the Yuehua Dynasty, Yue Haoyu, and the Emperor’s son of the Human Emperor, Yue Chuan, both had the strength and capital to battle across realms.

They were not much weaker than Ye Fan, and in some aspects they were even stronger—for example, in terms of bloodline. As the direct descendants of Great Emperors, they naturally inherited the finest bloodlines of the Ancient Emperors.

This Emperor’s Law fused into their bloodline was their strongest Primordial source. Although he had never fought them, Ye Fan knew very well that once Yue Haoyu and Yue Chuan went all out, they would definitely not be much weaker than an Ancient Immortal. It was very likely they would fight to mutual destruction, or even perish together.

No matter how powerful a young Great Emperor was, he was still bound by the constraints of his realm; it was impossible to span several realms to fight a great war.

Therefore, Ye Fan felt that he still had hope; he just hadn’t yet found the weaknesses and flaws of the young Emperor Sha.

After once again reconstructing his body, Ye Fan decisively charged forward. Immortal Stele Scattering Hand and Xuandi Fist blasted out one after another, shattering a region of the heavens as he arduously battled the young Emperor Sha!

"Boom!"

The young Emperor Sha formed Seals with both hands, and an azure Big Furnace appeared above Ye Fan’s head, emitting a wisp of Emperor’s Might as it suppressed down toward him.

"Buzz!"

Instantly, a black Big Seal shot up from above Ye Fan’s head, burning with Divine Soul Flames as it resisted the azure furnace.

"Me! @#￥%..."

Ye Fan even had the urge to curse his mother. The young Emperor Sha had actually used the Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique to evolve the Azure Gold Furnace, the Emperor Weapon of the Qing Family—how the hell was he supposed to fight that?

"Boom!"

The Azure Gold Furnace fell, directly smashing Ye Fan’s Heavenly Tao Seal condensed from his Divine Soul back down, and with a loud bang, shattered his body once again.

"Swoosh!"

Not far away, Ye Fan once more reformed his true body, his whole body radiating golden light. His blood was completely boiling, and two dragon shaped Divine Light beams shot out from his eyes, his War Intent surging.

If he couldn’t even defeat the young Emperor Sha, then what right did he have to step onto the Emperor Road in this era and compete with the geniuses from the various Ancient Stars in the Star Domain?

This time, Ye Fan didn’t strike immediately, but silently pondered. There was no doubt that what the young Emperor Sha had just used was precisely the Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique, evolving the Emperor Weapon of the Qing Family, and even bringing forth a wisp of Emperor’s Might.

The Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique could evolve any kind of Attack and Conquest Technique; previously, Ye Fan had been defeated several times by this very Holy Technique.

At this moment, inspired by the young Emperor Sha, he also began to try using the Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique to evolve the strongest Attack and Conquest Technique.

As his hands moved, a vast aura spread out. Ye Fan’s movements were very slow, as if he were delayed in some viscous liquid, but that terrifying aura grew stronger and stronger.

"Buzz!"

For the first time, the young Emperor Sha felt uneasy. His expression solemn, he took the initiative to attack. The Heavenly Weapon traced an arc with its treasure sword and slashed toward Ye Fan’s head.

"Boom!"

At the same time, an irregular black fragment appeared above Ye Fan’s head, emanating an ancient aura. At the same time, he burned his Holy Embryo and Divine Soul.

"Buzz!"

Beside him, the corpses of the Divine Race and Human-shaped creatures suddenly appeared: the Goddess with a severed arm, the headless Divine General, and the mutilated Human-shaped creatures.

The sacred and the dead—two completely different terrifying auras—erupted instantly, sweeping across the entire underground palace.

After burning his Holy Embryo and Divine Soul, Ye Fan abruptly boosted his Combat Power several times over!

Between his hands, a black Stele gradually emerged, coiled with a True Dragon. A huge Ancient-style Immortal character shone brilliantly upon it.

"Dang!"

With a loud clang, the young Emperor Sha’s Heavenly Weapon treasure sword chopped viciously onto that irregular black fragment above Ye Fan’s head, unleashing a terrifying aura of Destruction.

The entire underground palace seemed about to return to the beginning. Chaotic Energy churned, time itself appeared to freeze, and space grew disordered, a testament to the power of that strike.

However—

Other than his ears ringing, Ye Fan was actually completely unscathed. That seemingly inconspicuous shard forcibly blocked the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword’s strike, making Bai Yan wolf, watching from the side, almost have his eyeballs pop out onto the floor!

Whoosh!

Next, Ye Fan gripped the Stele with both hands and cleanly and neatly slapped it toward the young Emperor Sha, like swatting a fly. The Stele radiated a terrifying aura, directly sending the young Emperor Sha flying a thousand zhang away.

"Nice one, Ye, put in a bit more effort and take this blockhead out!"

Bai Yan wolf shouted at the top of his lungs, actually calling the young Emperor Sha, formed from a wisp of Essence Qi, a blockhead. Throughout all ages, he was probably the first.

Without needing it to say anything, Ye Fan naturally refused to let the matter go; he vented all the pent‑up resentment from when his body had been shattered by the young Emperor Sha in one go, manifesting his Holy Embryo Dharma Form, hoisting up a stele a hundred zhang tall, and chasing after the young Emperor Sha for a frenzied beating.

Probably not even the Eternal Slaughter Emperor had expected that Ye Fan would comprehend his supreme art, the Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique, so quickly and even put it to use, evolving that Immortal Stele which towered at the center of the Immortal Secret Realm.

After all, this place was too close to the Immortal Stele. Even if it was a small space he had opened up, it was still within the Immortal Secret Realm.

Ye Fan had only thought of evolving the Immortal Stele to attack his opponent on a sudden flash of inspiration, but he had not expected it to be so effective. This Immortal Stele seemed to truly possess some mysterious power; under Ye Fan’s urging, the "Immortal" character on the stele radiated boundless Immortal Light, suppressing the young Emperor Sha completely.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan strode forward, unfolding Chasing Star Step, swift as a streak of Flowing Light, brandishing the Immortal Stele evolved from the Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique, and unleashed another mad barrage upon the young Emperor Sha. With one blow, he blasted the young Emperor Sha a thousand zhang away.

At this moment, under several layers of stacked Combat Power, Ye Fan displayed an invincible bearing, like a young Heavenly Emperor, overlooking all living beings.

Purple Thunder Power coiled around the Immortal Stele; every strike was like Ten Thousand Tribulation Thunders descending, pounding the young Emperor Sha until he was drenched in blood, his bones and flesh nearly shattered.

The young Emperor Sha likewise possessed all kinds of secret techniques, constantly regenerating, struggling with all his might, his Heavenly Weapon treasure sword cleaving across the heavens, severing the Void.

However—

Ye Fan seemed to be everywhere at once. Though the Immortal Stele in his hand was gradually becoming indistinct, that blood‑dripping "Immortal" character grew ever more dazzling, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan charged on, unstoppable; the hundred‑zhang Immortal Stele in his hands was like swinging a stalk of straw, whipping the young Emperor Sha to the east, slapping him to the west, completely venting the suffocating gloom of his successive defeats.

"Die for me!"

Ye Fan roared madly; the Immortal Stele in his hands descended from the heavens, slamming the young Emperor Sha to the ground in one go, directly pounding him into a pulp of flesh.

"Swoosh!"

A single drop of Essence Blood flew out from the young Emperor Sha, and in an instant reconstituted his true body a thousand zhang away. His hands traced through the air as a terrifying aura spread out from his palms.

A massive Big Seal slowly manifested, as though billions of living beings had to prostrate in worship, radiating a terrifying Emperor’s Might—this was the Human Emperor Seal of the Human Emperor.

Yet another Emperor Weapon; in the application of the Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique, the young Emperor Sha was even more proficient than he, and had actually evolved the legendary Human Emperor Seal.

Whoosh!

Ye Fan swung the Immortal Stele, smashing it viciously toward the young Emperor Sha!

He was dead set on achieving a decisive victory in this battle, to completely slay the young Emperor Sha. Otherwise, the next time he wanted to kill him, it would likely be even harder.

This chance was too rare and must not be missed. Even as he burned his Divine Soul and Holy Embryo, Ye Fan could not hold on for too long, so he had to fight a quick battle and settle it swiftly.

As the Immortal Stele and the Human Emperor Seal collided, Ye Fan’s incomparably tyrannical Physical Strength finally came into play. Both hands gripping the stele, he forced the young Emperor Sha into a desperate melee with pure physical combat.

"Boom!"

The Immortal Stele and the Human Emperor Seal slammed into each other, suddenly erupting with intense radiance that directly drowned the two of them, as an aura of opening heaven and splitting earth spread outward.

The Immortal Stele and the Human Emperor Seal vanished simultaneously.

However—

The "Immortal" character on the stele still did not disappear. Like a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, it descended to suppress, directly pinning the young Emperor Sha beneath it.

"Roar..."

The young Emperor Sha let out a sound for the first time. With both hands uplifted, he slowly pushed the "Immortal" character up, as though supporting the sky itself.

"Swoosh!"

Ye Fan leaped directly onto the "Immortal" character, unleashing all his strength and forcibly pressing the character down. Meanwhile, his own Divine Power was being consumed at an alarming rate; the Holy Embryo Illusion was nearly gone, and even the Main God Embryo was on the verge of no longer being able to hold out.

"Hold on, I must hold on!"

Ye Fan was drenched in sweat, clenching his teeth as he endured. He knew that if he missed this opportunity, killing the young Emperor Sha would be nearly impossible.

In the end, before it vanished, the "Immortal" character completely suppressed the young Emperor Sha. The terrifying Immortal Light utterly ground away a wisp of Essence Qi belonging to the young Emperor Sha.

"Boom!"

The young Emperor Sha turned into specks of light‑rain, scattering within the underground palace, finally returning to the body of the Emperor Sha within the Coffin.

"Buzz!"

In the Void, an octagonal portal suddenly appeared, just like Ye Fan’s Eight Phase World Domain. Inside the portal was a vast white expanse, no one knew where it led.

"I finally succeeded!"

Ye Fan almost collapsed to the ground. He hastily extinguished the flames of Divine Soul and Holy Embryo; otherwise, if they continued to burn past the critical limit, it would be impossible to pull them back. He could only burn his Holy Embryo and Divine Soul to ash and be utterly annihilated.

Paying no heed to fatigue, Ye Fan took Bai Yan wolf in hand and stepped forward in one stride, entering the Light Gate and vanishing from this underground palace.

"He actually used only a single year? Could it be... he is the one we’ve been waiting for?!"

At the same time, the Eternal Slaughter Emperor, who had been lying quietly in the Coffin, abruptly opened his eyes, muttering to himself in disbelief.
