Chapter 1719: Chapter 1586: Where Is the Limit?
At this moment, Ye Fan was still unaware that he had been set up by a group of old guys outside.
However, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. He was there to hone himself; the stronger the opponent, the better. Even human-shaped creatures didn’t intimidate him in the slightest.
After slaying the Green Flood Dragon, Ye Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, operating his energy to recover from his previous exertion while summarizing some gains and losses from the prior battle.
During this time, he did not let up on his surveillance of the surroundings in the least, remaining constantly alert to everything around him even while cultivating.
He knew that the Demon Clan, the Xuan Beasts, or the human-shaped creatures in the Trial Arena were remnants re-activated to regain peak combat power through array patterns.
Not daring to be careless even for a moment, he took all the opponents appearing here quite seriously, as each was a strong contender in the Early Lord Realm.
The main reason he wanted to temper himself in the Lord Realm Trial Arena was to experience the power of the domain in preparation for his breakthrough to the Lord Realm.
"Woo...woo...woo..."
Just as Ye Fan’s strength was restored, a wailing like that of ghosts came through the wind. Immediately after, a human-shaped creature, three meters tall, flew over from afar without expression, and without any words, struck directly at the place where he had been sitting.
"Death Qi!"
Ye Fan instantly sensed the essence of this human-shaped creature, realizing it was filled with vast Death Qi, its gray eyes brimming with the glow of death.
"Swish!"
In the nick of time, Ye Fan vanished from his original position and reappeared several dozen meters away, looking solemnly at the human-shaped creature.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, a pit ten meters deep appeared at the place where Ye Fan had been sitting cross-legged, stretching several dozen meters, with the stones all melted by the Death Qi.
"Hiss..."
Ye Fan drew in a cold breath—the strength of the human-shaped creature was indeed terrifying. Though under the control of the Great Emperor, its strength was only equivalent to the Early Lord Realm, yet it possessed attack means that were truly shocking.
"Haha, let’s see how this kid handles it!"
The old man with the Goat Beard chuckled as he stroked his beard.
He was in charge of this Trial Arena, naturally aware of the strange nature of the human-shaped creature’s attacks. Not to mention little cultivators in the Divine Power Realm, even strong people in the Early Lord Realm would suffer a significant loss when unexpectedly facing such an opponent.
"Isn’t this a bit against the rules?"
An old teacher grinned maliciously, showing no sign of defending Ye Fan.
"Of course, it’s within the rules. It was his own idea to come to the Lord Realm Trial Arena; we’re just fulfilling his request."
"You guy..."
A group of old bastards was watching Ye Fan’s struggle in the Trial Arena with great interest, convinced he wouldn’t be a match for the human-shaped creature.
In the Trial Arena, Ye Fan stood dozens of meters away, squinting at the human-shaped creature equivalent to an Early Lord Realm strength.
With a height approaching one zhang, it appeared extremely burly, covered all over with dark green scale armor. Its face was longer than a horse, its gray-white hair fluttered in the wind, and its hands were larger than a fan, with black nails a foot long, glowing with a chilling gleam.
From appearance alone, this guy was undoubtedly a tough opponent. How it had been slain in the past was truly puzzling.
But Ye Fan didn’t dwell on this issue, because he knew that if the Great Emperor made a move, slaying such a creature with strength comparable to the Early Lord Realm would be no challenge, let alone a Quasi-Emperor.
Soon, the human-shaped creature launched another offensive, driven purely by its combat instincts to destroy everything without any thought process.
In its mind, there was only slaughter and nothing else, so killing had almost become its instinct.
"Do you think I’m easy to bully?"
Ye Fan let out a long howl, raising his hand to seize a Dragon Vein, brandishing it like a True Dragon and smashing it towards the human-shaped creature with enormous momentum.
"This..."
"This is the Earth Master’s inherited technique!"
"This kid actually received the Earth Master’s inheritance, no wonder he’s so strong!"
Goat Beard and the others were dumbfounded, never expecting that Ye Fan still held back such a move, with an intensity truly capable of threatening strong people of the Early Lord Realm.
"It’s as if this kid is shrouded in fog. How many trump cards does he have?"
"What are his limits really?"
While a group of old men were discussing, the battle between the human-shaped creature and Ye Fan unfolded.
Stones flew, the void trembled, the earth cracked, and Ye Fan emanated a purple-gold Divine Radiance, like a small sun.
The human-shaped creature, covered in gray Death Qi, forced Ye Fan to retreat and dodge with every move.
A reckless opponent was a nightmare for anyone, and Ye Fan was no exception. Facing such a madman brought out the worst of him.
"This kid really surprised me; hundreds of moves have gone by, and that human-shaped creature still hasn’t taken him down." The old man with the Goat Beard almost bulged his eyes out.
"Ah, to be young is good. See him, his blood vitality is as vigorous as a dragon’s; he could exhaust that human-shaped creature to death alone."
"Within his Divine Power lies the Thunder Power of Pure Yang, highly damaging to the human-shaped creature’s Death Qi. He just hasn’t realized it yet; otherwise, there would be no suspense in the outcome."
At this point, all the old teachers put away their dismissive attitude towards Ye Fan, instead smiling with satisfaction.
The emergence of such a peculiar strong person in the Human Race was a significant deterrent to the Demon Clan, greatly boosting their confidence in the conflict between the Human Race and the Demon Clan.
"Boom boom boom..."
After Ye Fan and the humanoid creature clashed seven or eight times, they each flew apart. Although the humanoid creature only knew slaughter, it also had the instinct of fear.
Ye Fan was cautious in the battle, fearing the erosion of Death Aura, and the humanoid creature equally feared being harmed by Ye Fan’s Thunder Power.
Ye Fan and the humanoid creature were mutually cautious, a classic case of a reed beating a wolf, both sides afraid.
Separated by an endless distance, Ye Fan and the humanoid creature assessed each other.
In terms of physique, Ye Fan was definitely not a match for the humanoid creature, the difference was too vast, but Ye Fan was like a blazing sun, causing the humanoid creature considerable apprehension.
"Roar!"
The humanoid creature knew that the longer this dragged on, the worse it would be for itself, it had to quickly tear this insignificant human into pieces.
With a roar, the humanoid creature charged at Ye Fan, its hands like dragon claws, shooting out night-black beams that tore the space apart.
"Xuandi Fist!"
Ye Fan shouted, unleashing the Xuandi Fist, which was fiercely unparalleled. With the aid of Thunder Power, he punched out, seemingly capable of piercing through a world, colliding with the humanoid creature’s claws.
"Crack!"
The humanoid creature’s hands were completely shattered, even the wrists were strangely twisted, clearly fractured.
However, Ye Fan was equally shocked; the humanoid creature’s body was remarkably sturdy, able to withstand his punch without being completely fragmented.
"Awo..."
Though lacking intelligence, the humanoid creature was highly sensitive to pain and fought based completely on instinct.
"Give me your life!"
More courageous by the battle, Ye Fan gradually let go. He found that his Thunder Power and Pure Yang Qi perfectly countered the humanoid creature’s Death Qi, so why hold back?
He was unaware that Death Qi and Pure Yang Qi mutually countered each other. Pure Yang Qi is life energy that can counter Death Qi, but Death Qi can also counter Pure Yang Qi.
However, with the addition of the rigid and persistent Thunder Power, the situation became one-sided. The humanoid creature’s Death Qi could do nothing to Ye Fan, but Ye Fan’s Thunder Power and Pure Yang Qi caused it significant harm.
Luckily, this humanoid creature was merely a fragment of consciousness; it knew nothing of escape, only relentless attacking, otherwise, slaying it wouldn’t have been easy for Ye Fan.
After a loud exclamation, Ye Fan fully mobilized the Thunder Power within, forming it into a web on his fist.
"This is the Heavenly Net Vast Fist, haha!"
Ye Fan laughed wildly, striking at the humanoid creature’s chest with ferocity.
"Pow!"
Sensing danger, the humanoid creature chose to duel head-on with Ye Fan; its massive fist larger than Ye Fan’s head, crashing into his fist.
"Crackle... Zzal..."
Their fists collided, Ye Fan’s eyes carried an unstoppable momentum, his gaze sharp as a blade; disregarding his own safety, his Thunder Power clashed with the Death Qi on the humanoid creature’s fist, erupting a sound like electric shock.
"Awo..."
The humanoid creature’s right fist quickly dissolved, purified by Ye Fan’s Thunder Power, leading to an earth-shattering howl.
"Die!"
Ye Fan was never one for mercy, seizing this rare opportunity, launching an all-out attack on the humanoid creature.
The horn of assault was sounded, Ye Fan punched fiercely, engaging the humanoid creature in hand-to-hand combat, disregarding the grey Death Qi.
This scene utterly shocked the teachers of the Imperial Academy, including Goat Beard!
What was that? A humanoid creature! How did he show no care at all?
"This world has gone insane!"
That was the only sigh they could utter; humanoid creatures were the common enemy of all life forms, humanity’s greatest foe.
Almost all dark disturbances were connected to humanoid creatures, and dealing with them was exceptionally difficult, even slightly stronger beings had to make significant efforts to kill one.
But Ye Fan was clearly merely at the Peak of Divine Power Realm, hadn’t crossed that threshold, yet he could actually suppress the humanoid creature, it was a miracle.
"This kid is surely the great nemesis of humanoid creatures in the future," an objective old teacher declared.
"Bang!"
After battling for seventy to eighty rounds, Ye Fan seized the opportunity, unleashing a fatal punch; the violent Thunder Power and heaven-earth Tao Markings combined into one, smashing the humanoid creature’s head.
"He actually killed the humanoid creature, it’s simply unbelievable."
"Where exactly is his limit??"
After the humanoid creature was completely gone, Goat Beard and the others were utterly shocked, petrified, not knowing how to react, only able to repeatedly mumble unbelievable, incredible words...
