Chapter 1689: Chapter 1558: Absent from the Jianghu, Yet Renowned in Legend
Eastern Domain, Western Region, Southern Domain, Northern Domain, all have Demon-level young prodigies trained by hidden old monsters emerging, stirring up boundless waves.
The entire Cultivation World has become unpredictable, many Saint Heirs and ancient family’s strongest successors feel a strong sense of crisis.
The emergence of these demons signifies the arrival of a magnificent era, even Saint Child-level strong people have no advantage, and may even be eliminated in the waves.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan’s name is being brought up again, many neutral cultivators believe he has the strength to compete with these people.
He broke the certain-death situation, counter-killed so many Saint Child-level strong people, although not many were true Saint Heirs, it still shows he has the strength to contend with the Emperor’s son.
Many newly emerged demons regard him and the Emperor’s son as the goals to surpass.
Many people think this is a great honor for Ye Fan, after all, being treated as Emperor-level is a considerable glory in itself.
"Auctioning the strongest successor of the Di Clan, this is indeed a very interesting matter!"
Seeing Ye Fan’s achievements, the Demon Sect Young Master immediately regarded Ye Fan as a kindred spirit, yearning instantly to meet this legendary fierce man.
As the Young Master of the Demon Sect, the Great Demon is inherently whimsical and self-directed, Ye Fan’s act of auctioning the Saint Heir gave him the feeling of finding a kindred spirit.
"Breaking a certain-death predicament with one’s own strength, renowned in the Five Domains, such a figure must be tested in battle!"
The successor of Clumsy Fist had an eye gleaming with the light of battle.
"He actually once had Wen Qi upon him, creating poetry in seven steps, stunning his opponent, I’m quite eager to meet him and discuss ways of using Wen Qi."
The successor of Emperor Wen, the scholarly Wen TaDou’s gaze shot towards the direction of the Immortal Academy.
Other newly emerged demons also regarded Ye Fan as a formidable opponent, after all, able to come out unscathed from the siege of eighteen Saint Child-level strong people and counter-kill them, worthy of their serious attention.
Not in Jianghu, but still a legend.
Even though Ye Fan is deep in retreat at the base level of the Dragon Tower in the Immortal Academy, topics about him are rampant, many are speculating about Ye Fan’s astonishing performance this time.
The Immortal Academy, the base level of the Dragon Tower has divine radiance soaring to the skies, dragon energy intertwining, various High Grade Spirit Stones, top-grade spirit stones, Heaven Grade Spirit Stones piled up, arranged into a small Gathering Essence Array.
Various spirit stones, dragon essence radiating brightly, almost turning the base level of the small Dragon Tower into a mini Immortal Pond, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi so dense it nearly liquefied and flowed.
If it weren’t for the Dragon Tower’s unique characteristics, the divine radiance here would penetrate the firmament, dimming even the starlight and moon.
Ye Fan sat right in the center, his whole body surging with Essence Qi, like crashing waves, Blood Qi soaring, transforming into dragon-shaped Qi pillars, swirling in the small arena.
Ye Fan bathed in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, black hair flowing, skin crystalline, as if a Banished Immortal, serene and calm, tempering his body with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and dragon energy, his body akin to a bottomless cavern, absorbing countless Heaven Grade Spirit Stones and Earth Vein Dragon Qi like rivers flowing into the sea, all converging in his Dantian and various acupoints throughout his body.
With abundant spirit stones being refined, not only Ye Fan, but even the Immortal Academy disciples and elders cultivating in the Dragon Tower benefited greatly.
Such ample Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, Ye Fan couldn’t possibly refine it all, instead, it spurted through the Dragon Tower, allowing others to refine and absorb quite a bit.
"Roar..."
Ye Fan’s body emitted a series of roars, his entire 360 acupoints’ Holy Embryo illusion entirely solidified, indistinguishable from a true Holy Embryo, except their postures varied.
Each Holy Embryo illusion had its own posture, seemingly naturally formed as extraordinary stones.
Among Ye Fan’s collection, there’s a Strange Stone, rewarded by the Immortal Academy, which Ye Fan had always forgotten in a corner.
That Strange Stone is shaped like a human figure, when punching, its Essence of Tao is naturally formed, exquisite craftsmanship, mirroring Ye Fan’s harmonious Divine Soul illusion.
For a month, Ye Fan constantly impacts the Lord Realm, refining hundreds of thousands of pounds of spirit stones, pushing his Divine Power Realm cultivation to the extreme peak.
So many spirit stones, enough to groom over a dozen Saint Child-level strong people, yet Ye Fan couldn’t break the barrier and step into the Lord Realm.
Between the Divine Power Realm and the Lord Realm seems to be separated by a vast world, no matter how hard Ye Fan worked, he couldn’t cross this crucial step.
"Boom!"
At the Dragon Tower’s base level, the small space surged with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, hundreds of thousands of pounds of spirit stones refined, converging towards Ye Fan, rushing into his body, making him resplendent, even his body’s hair shimmered.
"Bang!"
With an explosive sound, Ye Fan’s body once again shattered into pieces, leaving only the Holy Embryo and Divine Soul suspended in the air.
Purple bones sparkled with spots of light, like Purple Diamond, blood and shattered flesh scattered everywhere.
This is an extremely tragic scene, unfortunately no one witnessed it, otherwise they would exclaim, such Body Refinement, few in the world dare to attempt.
Every drop of Ye Fan’s blood, every piece of bone, every vein slowly wriggled, receiving the baptism of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the Holy Embryo illusion integrated with the true Holy Embryo, becoming increasingly divine.
As time ticked away, Ye Fan’s flesh underwent yet another purification, becoming more solid.
Refined with hundreds of thousands of pounds of spirit stones, this is something few can achieve, even the Di Clan wouldn’t dare to squander this way.
Only Ye Fan, only he succeeded. He was originally preparing to break through, to reach the Lord Realm, but he could never take that last step, always feeling that something was missing.
However, after this refinement, his body became even stronger. Ye Fan clearly felt that his Nine Heavens Profound Body had improved significantly. Although he hadn’t broken through to the Sixth Layer yet, it was not far off.
During this month, all the disciples of the Immortal Academy noticed changes in the Dragon Tower. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi suddenly became more concentrated, making it impossible for them not to notice.
Some disciples in the ancient caves near the Heavenly District of the Dragon Tower also took advantage of this, making cultivation twice the result with half the effort.
Every night, people from the Immortal Academy could see moonlight and starlight flowing over the Dragon Tower, accompanied by roars of true dragons emanating from within the tower.
Dragon-shaped illusions spiraled above the Dragon Tower, hovering and moving around, with mighty dragon energy, creating a spectacular sight.
"I hope Ye Fan succeeds in breaking through!"
In the Heavenly District, a delicate girl, as graceful as a fairy, stood outside Yaling’s cave dwelling, her eyes fixed intently on the Dragon Tower, murmuring to herself.
At the same time, in another direction, the Holy Maiden of the Purple Smoke Pavilion, Ling Ziyuan, was also praying. Dressed in purple, her large eyes looked like a lost spirit of purity in the world, her pure gaze was heart-wrenching.
Compared to the girls’ delicate nature, Hu Fei and others appeared carefree, not worrying about Ye Fan at all.
In their minds, Ye Fan was the creator of miracles. There was no miracle he couldn’t create. The greater the pressure, the more power he could unleash.
People like Hu Fei and Shi Ye, expecting them to pray for Ye Fan?
Unless Ye Fan encountered an evenly matched opponent, otherwise, it’s off the table.
At this moment, they were also working hard in seclusion, determined not to fall too far behind Ye Fan, pushing themselves to the limit in their cultivation.
They knew well that the banquet of the Yuehua Dynasty was not easy to attend. At that time, the backbone force to fight against the Demon Clan would be selected.
"Different kinds are bound to have different hearts," the Demon Clan had been oppressed by the Human Race for many years. Once the agreement expires, war could very likely break out.
Therefore, the war between the Human Race and the Demon Clan was inevitable, and it would certainly be especially brutal. To compete for control of this world, to ensure the Human Race’s status was not threatened, they had to fight desperately.
Not only were the Human Race sharpening their swords, but the Demon Clan was also preparing.
They were well aware of the strength of the Human Race. In the battle back then, many Great Demons of the Demon Clan fell, and many Supreme Techniques and martial arts were lost.
For the Demon Clan, it was an unbearable loss, not only was their strength damaged, but they were also forced to retreat into the depths of the Xuanshou Mountain Range, losing the opportunity to vie for the world.
However, over the years, the Demon Clan worked hard to revitalize. Many demon geniuses restored some cultivation techniques from ancient times and even created many supreme Divine Skills and secret techniques.
However, the Demon Clan was not entirely united. There was also significant competition among the clans, which was not seen as a bad thing by the rulers of the Demon Clan.
With competition comes development, allowing the Demon Clan to maintain a vigorous life force, giving them a chance to compete with the human race again after the agreement expires.
Aside from the bloodlines inherited from the original Demon Clan, many Xuanshou chose transformation, withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation, becoming true Demons, the first generation of the Demon Clan.
The first generation Demon Clan was often stronger than those descended from them, for their blood was purer, and their physiques and comprehension were very strong.
Demons who could withstand the Heavenly Tribulation and survive had limitless potential. Reaching the Quasi-Emperor Level was almost certain.
As the agreement expiration approached, the Demon Clan was also preparing intensely, and the younger generation of the Demon Clan was itching to make a counterattack on the Human Race’s territory.
After years of convalescence and recuperation, the Demon Clan was now extremely powerful, and merely huddling in the corner of the Xuanshou Mountain Range was clearly inadequate to satisfy their expansion needs.
If not bound by agreements, they would have long waged war on the Human Race.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, Ye Fan still couldn’t break through to the Lord Realm, but after refining hundreds of thousands of kilograms of spirit stones, his strength achieved a qualitative leap, cultivating the Divine Power Realm to its ultimate peak, just one step away from a breakthrough.
During this time of cultivation, not only had his Divine Soul been restored to its peak state, but it also saw improvement. Under the tempering of the Divine Soul Flames, his Divine Soul became exceedingly pure, with Divine Flame soaring.
Wow!
On this day, the door of the Dragon Tower opened, and an elder walked in expressionlessly, arriving at the bottom level where he was in seclusion.
"Ye Fan, the dean ordered, you can come out now," the elder informed.
"Understood, thank you!"
Ye Fan nodded, stood up tall, put away the unused spirit stones, and followed the elder out of the Dragon Tower.
"Ye Fan, come with me to the Yuehua Dynasty’s feast!"
The Old Bastard saw Ye Fan, spared no words, directly took him to the Immortal Academy’s Transmission Array, ascending the platform to traverse the void.
