Chapter 1742: Chapter 1609: Tianzihao Trial Ground
The Tianzihao Trial Ground is the strongest among all the trial grounds, a mixed-type trial ground where Xuan Beasts, the Demon Clan, and human-shaped creatures of all strengths gather.
It can be said that the Tianzihao Trial Ground is the most dangerous of all, and generally, it is absolutely not open to outsiders.
Seeing that Ye Fan actually came to the Tianzihao Trial Ground, the old Imperial Academy teachers guarding the trial ground were all stunned, speculating what Guo Songlin, who oversees all trial grounds, was up to.
They admitted that Ye Fan was indeed very powerful, but in the Tianzihao Trial Ground, he might encounter all kinds of dangers. Could he successfully endure it?
The Tianzihao Trial Ground looks no different from other trial grounds on the outside, all having that kind of Light Gate, emitting bursts of murderous aura from within.
After the old man guarding the Tianzihao Trial Ground opened the Light Gate, Ye Fan stepped into the trial ground without hesitation.
"Wow!"
Almost all the idle old teachers in the corridor came to the entrance of the Tianzihao Trial Ground, using a special Spiritual Artifact to monitor everything within the trial ground.
"Buzz!"
A light flickered, the array patterns were fully activated, and the entire trial ground was filled with the howling of apes and tigers, permeated with a primordial aura.
Ye Fan roamed the entire trial ground, his divine consciousness scanning every disturbance within a hundred miles, nothing escaping his perception.
Soon, Ye Fan discovered a strong member of the Demon Clan, dressed in green clothes, looking no different from the Human Race, yet exuding strong demon energy.
"Peak of Early Lord Realm!"
Ye Fan immediately assessed the strength of this Demon strong person and then stood in place, waiting for the opponent’s arrival.
Even at the peak of the early stage, it posed no threat to him. However, since he encountered it, he might as well strike it down.
"This kid is too arrogant, actually waiting for that Demon strong person at the peak of the Early Lord Realm to arrive." A teacher sighed at this scene.
"It’s not arrogance; it’s confidence, strong confidence." The Goat Beard elder sighed.
He knew Ye Fan’s true combat power best, even before breaking through to the Lord Realm, he could kill Demon strong people and human-shaped creatures at the early-stage Lord Realm.
Not to mention, now he had broken through the barrier of the Lord Realm, successfully advancing to the initial strong stage of the Lord Realm, even the Emperor’s Son, Ancient Immortal at the Mid-Stage of Lord Realm was not his opponent, let alone these Demon strong people at the peak of Early Lord Realm.
As if to confirm his thoughts, when the Demon strong person arrived in front of Ye Fan, the battle broke out without surprise.
This Demon strong person at the early Lord Realm didn’t take Ye Fan seriously at all; in his retained remnants, he always insisted that the Human Race was weak, under the same realm, the Human Race could never be a match for the Demon Clan.
So, he ended tragically, not even moving before being blown up by Ye Fan’s punch, turning into a remnant and disappearing between heaven and earth.
"Uh...A Demon strong person at the peak of Early Lord Realm was actually killed in an instant?"
"That was a Demon strong person capable of exerting Peak Combat Power, who would dare to claim victory in the same realm?"
"This kid is simply non-human, absolutely comparable to the young Great Emperor."
"..."
For a moment, there was a commotion outside the trial ground, with many old teachers dumbfounded by Ye Fan’s wild punch.
Although they witnessed Ye Fan defeat the Ancient Immortal’s battle, they were shocked by Ye Fan’s domain, having little impression of Ye Fan’s combat power displayed in that battle.
At this moment, just one punch!
A Demon strong person activated by the array patterns was easily killed like that, how many people can achieve such a result and combat power?
Afterward, Ye Fan successively encountered several Demon strong people, all possessing cultivation at the Early Lord Realm, without any suspense, all were shattered by a punch in his hands.
In the process of battling these Demon strong people, Ye Fan’s understanding of the Xuandi Fist deepened, the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor indeed proved himself a Great Emperor under the most improbable circumstances, his talent truly stunning for the ages.
After integrating the martial arts of previous Great Emperors, the unique Xuandi Fist created by the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor possessed unparalleled might, and if cultivated to the extreme, it was possible to strike across the Three Thousand Worlds.
Thus, Ye Fan longed even more for the style of the Ancient Emperors. To what realm did they ultimately reach?
Without a doubt, emperors of all eras reached the limits that humans could achieve, overlooking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, any strong person was but an ant in their eyes.
The Demon strong people killed by Ye Fan hailed from various species within the Demon Clan, even though just a wisp of remnant activated by array patterns, they were extremely powerful, ordinary human cultivators at the Early Lord Realm couldn’t easily defeat them.
This is the wealth left to the Human Race by the Great Emperors, through which battles and the remnants activated by array patterns can learn about the comprehensive strength and attack techniques of the Demon Clan.
Many demons have their innate divine abilities, with endless attacking means, very difficult to deal with.
However, before Ye Fan’s Absolute Defense Eight Phase World Domain, their attacks were all in vain, unable to breach his domain.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan could close in quickly, relying on a stronger body and strength than the Demon Clan, using hand-to-hand combat to crush them.
Seeing Ye Fan overpower and kill those Demon strong people with unmatched force, everyone outside the trial ground was numbed.
It was numbness to an extreme shock, even though Ye Fan showed formidable strength, they were no longer surprised, instead thinking it was a matter of course.
During this period, other disciples of the Imperial Academy were also undergoing trials in various arenas. Some successful or unsuccessful disciples came out of the trial arenas and saw many veteran teachers gathered at the Tianzihao Trial Ground, prompting them to join in the excitement.
After all, they had only heard about the Tianzihao Trial Ground; no one had actually been inside, nor did they know how dangerous it truly was within.
As time passed, more and more people gathered outside the Tianzihao Trial Ground. Through secret techniques, they could clearly see Ye Fan’s every move inside the trial ground.
At this moment, Ye Fan was walking on this land filled with a primordial aura. His expression was calm and resolute, without the slightest ripple, completely disappointing those Imperial Academy disciples who hoped to discern some clues from his face.
"It seems quite ordinary, nothing particularly special. Why open the Tianzihao Trial Ground just for him?" Many disciples of the Imperial Academy were puzzled.
"Watch carefully and learn from him. This is called remaining calm and composed, able to face any powerful opponent." A veteran teacher of the Imperial Academy snorted coldly and said.
As he spoke, all the disciples of the Imperial Academy stopped talking and stared intently at Ye Fan in the trial ground, wanting to see how he would perform.
"Roar..."
Just then, a deafening roar came through the light gate, causing not a few Imperial Academy disciples to have their blood churn, their vision blur, and ears ring.
"Peak of Mid-Stage Lord Realm?"
Many were shocked, including those veteran teachers, who did not expect the array patterns to activate such a formidable creature.
From the roar, it was easy to judge that this was undoubtedly an outstanding figure among the Demon Clan, rarely meeting an equal even in the Mid-Stage Lord Realm.
Ye Fan just broke through to the Early Lord Realm; can he really defeat this demon strongman at the peak of Mid-Stage Lord Realm?
Before Ye Fan could see the demon strongman, who sent out the provocative roar, the veteran teachers and disciples of the Imperial Academy outside had already witnessed it.
This was a very ordinary-looking middle-aged man, with a delicate appearance, without any characteristics of the Demon Clan, looking no different from the Human Race. However, he was surrounded by overwhelming demon energy.
"This is..."
A veteran teacher could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"The direct offspring of the Silver Winged Eagle King from ancient times, the Silver Winged Little Eagle King!"
The old man with the goat beard inadvertently revealed the identity of this demon strongman.
The Silver Winged Eagles are also royals among the entire Demon Clan, with astounding innate divine abilities and noble bloodlines, on par with the Silver Moon Wolf King family of the Bai Yan wolves.
Moreover, the Silver Winged Eagle family harbors intense hostility towards the Human Race. During the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor’s subjugation of the Demon Clan, the Silver Winged Eagle family lost two generations of strongmen.
The Silver Winged Little Eagle King was one such member, his indestructible residual thought was utilized by the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor, activated by array patterns, allowing him to possess peak combat power for a short time, retaining some innate divine abilities.
It can be said that at the same realm, it is almost impossible for Human Race strongpeople to defeat the Silver Winged Eagle Clan, let alone the direct offspring of one generation’s demon king, the Silver Winged Eagle King.
For a time, everyone was worried for Ye Fan. Even at the same realm, victory would be unlikely, let alone the full gap of a small realm between Ye Fan and the Silver Winged Little Eagle King?
Although it is only a mere difference of a small realm, everyone knows that the higher a cultivator’s realm, the greater the difference between each small realm, making it nearly impossible to defy the odds and defeat an immortal.
Ye Fan was undoubtedly a prodigy. Upon successfully undergoing tribulation and stepping into the Early Lord Realm, he fiercely defeated the Ancient Emperor’s direct offspring, who had comprehended a second elemental law, forming a Wind and Fire Domain.
However, regarding constitution, the Silver Winged Little Eagle King was no less than the Ancient Immortal, and with being activated by array patterns, the Silver Winged Little Eagle King did not fear death, able to fight with full force, posing a greater threat to Ye Fan than the Ancient Immortal.
On the verdant earth, Ye Fan walked leisurely, having also heard the roar just now, but he paid it no mind.
Suddenly, he paused, standing quietly there, gazing at the end of the earth. On the lush horizon, a small black dot was rapidly approaching.
"It’s coming!"
Ye Fan thought to himself, from the aura it was easy to tell that this was the strongest opponent he had encountered since entering the trial ground.
"This is good too. Since it’s a trial, naturally, it’s best to choose a strong opponent. Those before were too weak!"
Ye Fan stood his ground, waiting for the arrival of his opponent.
At the end of the horizon, the small black dot moved incredibly fast, seeming to traverse space. Soon it became clear that it was a very sturdy figure.
He did not touch the ground with his feet, did not shake his shoulders, floated three feet above the ground, stepping through the void, approaching with the wind.
In just an instant, the person had nearly arrived, his figure and appearance clearly visible. Though his steps were not quick, he possessed extreme speed, with each step seeming to disappear from one spot and quickly appear in front, manifesting the secret technique of traversing space, proving that this person was extremely unusual.
Ye Fan looked up and down at the other party, noticing he seemed about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, dressed in green, with a delicate appearance, showing no signs of belonging to the Demon Clan.
However, his eyes were extremely sharp, giving off a strong sense of oppression, even a bit of aggressiveness, clearly indicating that he was a very domineering person.
No, he was a very domineering demon!
