Chapter 1720: Chapter 1587: Arrival of the Ancient Immortal
Ye Fan had slain the humanoid creature across realms, a feat that astounded all the teachers of the Imperial Academy guarding the trial field.
It’s not that they didn’t have this ability, if they went in, they could disperse the humanoid creatures in minutes.
But the problem is, their realm is far higher than those humanoid creatures, while Ye Fan’s realm is lower, which makes the difference obvious.
"This kid is simply a freak."
They couldn’t help but exclaim, no wonder he could stand out among so many elites, success indeed is not by chance.
"Who is a freak?"
Just as a group of old teachers were stunned, a voice came, and the tall Ancient Immortal strutted through the passage.
He was also here for the trial, but found that the trial field he was supposed to be in was empty, with everyone gathered outside No.8 Trial Field looking as if they were watching a show, so he couldn’t help but ask.
"A kid named Ye Fan, who could kill a humanoid creature across ranks with merely the peak of the Divine Power Realm, simply unbelievable." Goat Beard old man said casually.
He did not know the Ancient Immortal, but felt a powerful aura from this young man, a grandeur of a Great Emperor, and knew he must be one of the three Emperor’s sons.
"Ye Fan?"
Ancient Immortal’s eyes shot out two fierce rays; he originally thought Ye Fan had gone into seclusion, but unexpectedly, he was honing himself here.
From the yet-to-fade shock on the teachers’ faces, it wasn’t difficult to see how greatly Ye Fan shocked them earlier.
"What’s the situation? Wasn’t he supposed to be in seclusion?" Ancient Immortal asked Goat Beard old man.
"Just arrived not long ago!"
Goat Beard stroked his beard and said: "This kid is truly a freak; in less than an hour, he successively killed a strong Demon Clan member of the early Lord Realm and a humanoid creature equivalent to the early Lord Realm, his potential is limitless!"
Speaking, Goat Beard recounted Ye Fan’s previous performance to Ancient Immortal, both to deepen his memory and to brag, after all, this is the area he is responsible for.
"It seems this kid can’t be kept..."
Upon learning of Ye Fan’s heaven-defying achievements, murderous intent surged in Ancient Immortal’s heart; he was afraid, afraid that Ye Fan would chase and surpass him in the future.
As an Emperor’s son, being surpassed by an ordinary person would be too shameful, he absolutely wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
With a frown, Ancient Immortal quickly came up with a plan and smiled: "I am also here for the trial, why not accompany this brother, what do the seniors think?"
"Not suitable, not suitable!"
Goat Beard shook his head: "He is at the peak of the Divine Power Realm, at the early Lord Realm trial field he’s fine, but what are you, at mid-Stage of Lord Realm, doing joining the fun?"
"Uh..."
Ancient Immortal was stunned, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, then he smiled: "I didn’t consider it, I’ll go to the trial field of Mid-Stage of Lord Realm then!"
He discovered that next to No.8 was the No.7 Trial Field, which is the trial field for Mid-Stage of Lord Realm; although different, he had a way to cross from No.7 Trial Field to No.8 Trial Field.
"Alright, Old Yang, prepare to let him in for the trial!"
Goat Beard arranged, and an old man in a blue shirt nodded, opening No.7 Trial Field.
Ancient Immortal stepped in, entering the trial field, a confident smile showing on his lips, then without pause, his hands moved, performing Ancient Emperor Secret Technique, Golden Cicada Shelling, blocking external perception.
Now, from the outside, Ancient Immortal was always in the Mid-Stage of Lord Realm trial field, but in fact, he had already activated the Emperor’s Golden Bronze Furnace, crossing into the early Lord Realm trial field where Ye Fan was.
The Emperor Weapon Azure Gold Furnace was personally refined by the Ancient Emperor, made with Immortal Material Life Golden, its might is endless, and is least damaged, blocking the perception of several Imperial Academy teachers wasn’t difficult.
No one expected Ancient Immortal would dare take such a great risk to cross realms to kill Ye Fan.
Because each trial field is independent to prevent higher cultivation disciple from crossing realms to kill lower cultivation disciples, trial fields have strict rules.
No matter from which trial field crossing into another, the cross-realm person will be greatly restricted, having to bear invisible shackles weighing at least ten thousand pounds.
Even if one’s cultivation is high, wearing shackles weighing ten thousand pounds would significantly constrain one’s strength.
Even if there was immense hatred, people wouldn’t choose to cross realms to kill an opponent, as easily it might lead to being killed by the opponent.
The ten thousand pounds shackles are not to be trifled with, not only depleting a cross-realm practitioner’s power considerably but also constraining one’s attack and defense.
Precisely for this reason, none of the Imperial Academy teachers expected Ancient Immortal to risk such a great disgrace to cross realms making trouble for Ye Fan.
But they also didn’t expect Ancient Immortal to use Emperor Weapon to nullify these rules, even crossing realms without wearing shackles.
In the early Lord Realm trial field, Ye Fan sat cross-legged atop a not-so-high mountain peak, repairing the divine power and stamina lost during the earlier battle with the humanoid creature, while reflecting and drawing inspiration from the various details and gains and losses of this battle.
This was a good habit Ye Fan developed over a long time, no matter when, after a battle he always reflected on the gains and losses.
Death Qi!
The biggest difference between humanoid creatures and humans, Demon Clan is Death Qi; humanoid creatures, though very similar to humans in appearance, are permeated with a breath of death, seemingly like death creatures.
For such creatures, Pure Yang Qi and the extremely rigid and Pure Yang Thunder Power are just the right counter, and the Fire Element Divine Power also has strong effects.
However, there is no absolutes in all things. In this world, life accompanies death; they are equal. Death is also a form of energy.
It’s just that the energy of death is quite evil, even more so than all other evil forces and cultivation techniques, absolutely unacceptable even to life.
"Hmm?"
Just as Ye Fan was earnestly summarizing the gains and losses of this battle, his keen spiritual sense suddenly felt a faint air of danger.
However, upon careful sensing, there was nothing to be found, as if what just happened was merely an illusion, with no actual threat appearing.
"Maybe I’m just too sensitive!"
Ye Fan self-deprecates.
Before finishing his sentence, Ye Fan immediately sensed a familiar aura rapidly approaching him, and he could sense it had locked onto him, though he couldn’t escape.
In an instant, Ye Fan frowned; he had already concluded from the aura that the visitor was none other than the Emperor’s Son, Ancient Immortal from the Gu Family.
Indeed, in a moment, a black dot appeared on the horizon in the distance, flying quickly like a shooting star toward him.
"You bastard, Ye, did you think hiding here would keep me from finding you?"
The black dot arrived near Ye Fan, none other than Ancient Immortal, who had crossed over from the Mid-Stage of the Lord Realm Trial Arena, his face was filled with unmistakable killing intent.
Suddenly!
Ye Fan’s heart trembled; he naturally knew why Ancient Immortal had come, but he wasn’t worried, as there are teachers from the Imperial Academy always monitoring outside the trial arena, he believed Ancient Immortal wouldn’t dare act recklessly.
"What do you mean?"
Ye Fan slowly stood up. Even though he knew he was not a match for Ancient Immortal, he still had to fight.
"Send you on your way!"
Ancient Immortal was indifferent to Ye Fan’s attitude because he firmly believed Ye Fan would surely die today, and there was no need to avoid anything.
"Are you afraid?"
Ye Fan keenly grasped Ancient Immortal’s mentality, his eagerness to kill him was no more than fear that Ye Fan might threaten him after breaking through the Lord Realm.
If the direct descendant of the Great Emperor was defeated by an ordinary cultivator who successfully Defeating Immortals with a lower realm, it would be a great shame, not just for him, but for the entire Ancient Emperor’s face, which Ancient Immortal absolutely does not want to happen.
"Afraid? Me, afraid? It’s merely that I don’t want you, this ant, to continue growing. No matter how you grow, you will ultimately be nothing more than a stepping stone for my advance to the Godless Path!" Ancient Immortal sneered.
"I can hear your insecurity."
Ye Fan sneered in sarcasm, but inwardly he was secretly lamenting, wondering why the teachers from the Imperial Academy outside hadn’t made any indication despite Ancient Immortal’s presence.
Could it be...
Thinking of the terrifying scenario, Ye Fan’s heart suddenly sank. Until now, the outside teachers had shown no action, and there were only two possibilities.
First, the teachers from the Imperial Academy had colluded with Ancient Immortal to kill him, only not wanting the Imperial Academy to bear the blame, employing a murder-for-hire tactic.
Second, Ancient Immortal had some kind of secret technique to screen outside perceptions, and the teachers outside had not noticed that the situation inside the trial arena had changed.
Either scenario was extremely unfavorable to him, fighting Ancient Immortal head-on, he had no hope, as Ancient Immortal, possessing direct bloodline of Ancient Emperor, was not an ordinary cultivator.
"Ancient Immortal, considering you are the direct descendant of Ancient Emperor, using such vile means to deal with me, it is truly a disgrace to the Ancient Emperor!" Thinking of this, Ye Fan deliberately provoked.
"And don’t forget, this place is the Emperor’s Secret Realm, not a place for you to act recklessly. Outside, Supreme Strongmen of the Imperial Academy guard it, if you act rashly, you will be punished, and the Monastery Director won’t let you do as you please."
"Hahaha..."
Ancient Immortal laughed wildly, then coldly said, "Do you think I haven’t considered all this? Since I dare to come here, there are ways to keep them from discovering what’s happening here."
"Ye, you little bastard, next year on this day will be your anniversary. Are you ready?"
Ancient Immortal’s smile abruptly vanished, his voice as cold as the air could freeze.
"Seems you are dead set on killing me, can you tell me why?" Ye Fan still intended to delay.
From Ancient Immortal’s words earlier, he already knew that Ancient Immortal had surely screened everything here with some secret technique, at this moment, even seeking help was useless, he could only delay as much time as possible.
"You little bastard, repeatedly offending me and the Gu Family, how could I forgive you? Enough! You already know the reason, now die at ease!"
Saying this, a light flashed above Ancient Immortal’s head, and an Azure Gold Furnace appeared, exuding ancient and rustic breath...
