Best Young Master

Chapter 1740: Chapter 1607: Unrivaled Under Heaven

"Damn!"

Gu Xiao’s expression changed drastically. At this moment, Ye Fan’s aura and presence were too strong, causing his heart to drop to rock bottom instantly.

Although Gu Xiao’s strength was the weakest among the ten, as the strongest heir of the Di Clan, he had sharp judgment.

In his view, Ye Fan was undoubtedly filled with an unwavering belief in victory, which was absolutely not a good omen for his ancestor, the Ancient Immortal.

"I’ll let you resurrect. Each time you kill me, I will kill you once, until your Martial Arts Will is shattered." For Ye Fan to say such words, one can only imagine how strong his confidence is.

The goal of the Ancient Immortal, who has been sealed since ancient times, is to prove the Dao and become an emperor, to ascend to the Immortal Realm. If his Martial Arts Will is shattered, what belief would he still have to support his existence?

Whoosh!

Many surrounding people couldn’t help but change their expressions, whispering quietly. This was the son of the Ancient Great Emperor, yet someone dared to face him with such an attitude, treating him as what?

"Indeed, the path to proving the Dao requires such confidence and posture. With me, invincible, what does it matter even if it’s an Emperor’s son? Anyone blocking my path will be destroyed with one punch. The roads of the Ancient Great Emperors have always been paved with bones and blood."

Elder Lin from the Imperial Academy nodded silently.

The Ancient Immortal struggled to be reborn, his face dark enough to drip water, veins bulging on his forehead. Being consecutively killed several times by Ye Fan left him suppressed with frustration.

What an arrogant person he was?

Ever since he debuted, he’s always been shrouded in a Divine Ring, above everyone else. Yet, today, he was continuously "killed" several times by someone he once considered a mere ant.

"Ah..."

The Ancient Immortal let out a long roar, shaking the mountains and rivers, scattering the clouds in the sky. He used every imaginable means, with Ancient Emperor Secret Techniques emerging endlessly, yet he couldn’t break through Ye Fan’s Eight Phase World Domain—the eight elements covering the basic elements of this world, forming an extremely stable domain!

"Bang!"

Ye Fan unleashed a furious Xuandi Fist, aggressively attacking with an overwhelming advantage, once again shattering the Ancient Immortal.

"Whoosh!"

The Ancient Immortal turned into a flash of blood light, instantly fleeing a hundred feet away, using the Ancient Emperor Secret Techniques, expending his Primordial power, borrowing supreme might to resurrect.

However—

This time, the resurrection was interminably long, after all, he was merely a mid-stage Lord Realm cultivator, far from possessing an Immortal Body.

If not for the Secret Techniques left by the Ancient Emperor, Ye Fan would have killed him long ago. Even so, his face was now drained of color.

This world is very fair; how much you gain is how much you must pay. Everything comes with a price. Although he resurrected himself with Supreme Secret Skill, he consumed much of his Primordial power.

The Ancient Emperor Secret Techniques, though incomparably mysterious, still require the practitioner’s Primordial power as fuel. They cannot be used without limit, otherwise, the Ancient Immortal would truly possess an Immortal Body.

Now, he can no longer die. If he dies one more time, even with the Ancient Emperor Secret Techniques, it would be difficult to resurrect again, given the severe depletion of his Primordial power.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Fan executed the Chasing Star Step, breaking through space constraints, abruptly appearing in front of the Ancient Immortal, lifting him up with one hand.

At this moment, the Ancient Immortal had just been resurrected, utterly powerless to resist, allowing Ye Fan to hoist him up by the collar.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

...

The crisp sound of slaps echoed, astonishing everyone, leaving the entire audience stunned.

They stared straight at Ye Fan, holding the Ancient Immortal with one hand, while using the other hand to slap him from side to side, causing his head to swing like a drum, with Big Teeth mixed with blood flying out.

"Great Emperor, am I seeing this right? The esteemed son of the Ancient Emperor is actually being slapped?"

"This world is too Feng Kuang! The Ancient Immortal is the son of the Ancient Emperor, always high above, one of the most promising to prove the Dao. Yet he’s being humiliated like this?"

"This Ye Fan is too formidable; he’s simply reckless, indifferent to everything, daring to hit even the son of the Ancient Emperor without batting an eye."

"What’s this compared to how Ye Fan already shattered the body of the Ancient Immortal several times earlier? If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would have died countless times already. Daring to kill him, what’s smacking him around?"

"As such, how can the Gu Family just let this go? The Ancient Immortal, no matter what, is the son of the Ancient Emperor, a figure of ancestral significance in the Gu Family. For their ancestor to be slapped like this, the Gu Family might go insane."

"So what? A fair fight, the Ancient Immortal’s skills are inferior to others, deserves to be tortured!"

People were buzzing with discussions, various thoughts being expressed, but overall, there was more sympathy for Ye Fan. After all, the Ancient Immortal’s realm was a Xiao realm higher than Ye Fan’s, abusing his status by bullying the weaker; he deserved being beaten, he brought it upon himself.

"Uh..."

Gu Xiao was completely dumbfounded. He never dreamed the final result would be like this; it was the exact opposite of his original expectations.

In his opinion, even if Ye Fan broke through to Lord Realm and endured the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, he couldn’t possibly be a match for his ancestor. Ye Fan should have been the one being wildly abused.

However—

At this moment, the situation completely turned around, it was his ancestor who was being wildly abused, which he could hardly accept!

"Ancient Immortal, the Gu Family plotted to hunt down my mother first. I haven’t demanded an explanation, yet you keep targeting me, trying to put me to death, do you really think I’m easy to bully?"

Ye Fan reversed and slapped the Ancient Immortal forty times, coldly questioning.

"Ptui!"

The Ancient Immortal spat a mouthful of blood onto Ye Fan’s face, coldly saying, "Little bastard, if you got the guts, kill me. Do you dare?"

Ye Fan wiped the blood off his face and smiled brightly, saying, "I wonder how long you can keep up this bravado."

With that, Ye Fan controlled his strength and slapped the Ancient Immortal’s face back and forth, the "smack smack" sounds never ceasing.

Ye Fan was well aware that the Ancient Immortal was deliberately trying to provoke him— the Ancient Immortal had already been defeated, with almost no hope of proving his Dao, and harbored a desire for death, but he wanted to drag Ye Fan down with him before he died; how could Ye Fan let him have his way?

Rashly killing him would probably not even be allowed by the Imperial Academy.

Besides, who knows if the Ancient Immortal has any other secret techniques that could bring him back to life?

Anyway, having already won this battle, killing him is meaningless.

"This... why is he still hitting him?"

Everyone around was stunned again, not having heard the conversation between the two, they didn’t understand what had happened; they just saw the Ancient Immortal spit blood on Ye Fan’s face, and then Ye Fan continued to slap the Ancient Immortal’s face frantically.

Blood mixed with teeth flew out, the divine power in the Ancient Immortal’s body locked in his Dantian by Ye Fan, rendering him incapable of resistance, left him utterly humiliated.

This was the result of Ye Fan showing mercy; otherwise, with Ye Fan’s current strength, a single slap could shatter the Ancient Immortal’s skull. Why bother with all this?

Gradually, the Ancient Immortal’s consciousness began to blur; with severe depletion of his primordial source, along with inner rage, he actually passed out.

For a cultivator who had reached the Mid-Stage of the Lord Realm and successfully comprehended a second Elemental Law, this was simply impossible.

After reaching the Taoist Divine Realm, it becomes challenging for a cultivator to faint in a battle, barring death; fainting is just not possible.

The Ancient Immortal had been driven to rage-induced fury and faced immense frustration from his defeat, prompting his instincts to escape reality.

"Bang!"

After a while, Ye Fan stopped his hand and, like discarding a dead dog, heavily tossed the Ancient Immortal onto the arena.

"Little Ancestor..."

Gu Xiao shouted and rushed onto the Emperor Battle Arena at light speed, cradling the unconscious Ancient Immortal, madly channeling divine power into his body.

At this moment, he was overwhelmingly terrified of Ye Fan; even the Little Ancestor, the Emperor’s son, had been defeated. What could he do?

Facing Ye Fan, he felt immense pressure, as if facing an elder of his clan.

Clearly, the realms of both were equivalent, with Ye Fan just recently reaching the Lord Realm; logically, he should not compare, but this strong feeling was undeniable to Gu Xiao.

"Say no more; we are leaving!"

The Ancient Immortal restrained Gu Xiao from speaking, despondently leaning on his shoulder as they slowly departed.

With the Ancient Immortal’s departure, the battle ended; Ye Fan, with indisputable dominance, crushed the Ancient Immortal, earning victory and astonishing everyone.

Some older teachers from the Imperial Academy couldn’t help but marvel at the advent of a grand age; even the Emperor’s son could not maintain dominance. Heaven knows what demon-level geniuses the Demon Clan might have waiting to emerge?

The disciples of the Imperial Academy, faces full of bitterness, upon witnessing the strength of Ye Fan and others, realized the massive gap between themselves and them.

This world was destined to be the stage for these demons, while they, even as foliage, couldn’t measure up, being no more than mere blades of grass.

"Ye Zi, congratulations!"

"Brother Ye, congratulations!"

"Congratulations..."

The seven, including Kou Wenjie, gathered around, chattering their congratulations to Ye Fan, yet none inquired about his domain, respecting personal privacy and understanding the etiquette.

"Brother Ye, you are getting more formidable; even Brother Yue Hui and I are no longer your match," the Ancient Prince Yue Haoyu half-joked to Ye Fan.

In truth, he spoke honestly; they had both lost to the Ancient Immortal, while Ye Fan had overwhelmingly defeated him, his strength evidently far superior.

"Brother Ye, you are now arguably the number one among the younger generation of the Human Race!" The Great Demon smiled, speaking to Ye Fan.

His comment met with unanimous agreement; having defeated even the Ancient Immortal, who among the young could challenge him?

"I say, everyone, don’t praise me too much, or I’ll become the world’s enemy!"

Ye Fan’s playful remark incited heartfelt laughter, bringing everyone closer together.

However—

Not far away, the deputy headmaster of the Imperial Academy, Old Monster Zhou, and the academy’s elder, Elder Lin, were shocked beyond measure.

"He just broke through to the Lord Realm! How can he have such a powerful domain? Such formidable combat power?"

This was the burning question that lingered in everyone’s mind.

"Elder Lin, did you notice anything?"

Old Monster Zhou asked Elder Lin, using divine consciousness to communicate.

"I’m not certain, but it might be related to forming an unprecedented human-shaped Divine Embryo; though this domain is powerful, it may be hard to enhance his realm; moreover, future cultivation will be arduous. However, if successful, he might truly become invincible in the world!"

Elder Lin said, unsure.
