Chapter 1724: Chapter 1591: Deadly Escape for Survival
At this moment, Ancient Immortal seemed as if possessed by a Great Emperor, full of confidence, utterly disregarding Ye Fan.
However, in his heart, there remained a slight flaw — the invincible stance of Ye Fan who had crushed him like a dog in the same realm.
To know, the reason Ancient Immortal could force Ye Fan into this situation is largely because he utilized the strength of the Mid-Stage of Lord Realm.
This has a flavor of relying on superior power to bully; as a Great Emperor’s blood, unable to attain invincibility in the same realm, his mental realm revealed a flaw.
Nevertheless, he forcibly buried that slight flaw deep down; once he kills Ye Fan, he will be invincible in the same realm.
Ancient Immortal believed that besides the abnormal Ye Fan, absolutely no one could stand against him in the same realm, not even the blood of Human Emperor or Moon Emperor.
"Hoo~"
After repairing his body, Ye Fan retreated from the state of burning Divine Soul and Divine Power, took a deep breath, and his eyes shot out resolute light.
For cultivators, advancing later on becomes increasingly difficult; each Xiao realm is a great chasm, almost impossible to cross, reverse Defeating Immortals is a rare phenomenon.
Yet Ye Fan, across a Great Realm that seemed like an impenetrable barrier, forced Ancient Immortal, an Ancient Emperor’s blood, to this degree, truly defying heaven.
However—
What Ye Fan wanted was not defying heaven, but to survive!
However, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to him!
"To think you, while not a Great Emperor’s blood, merely a mixed breed with impure blood, had such talent, truly surprising!"
Ancient Immortal’s face darkened, even though he defeated Ye Fan, there was not a hint of joy, because he utilized the strength of Mid-Stage of Lord Realm and was forced to burn Divine Power.
For someone as proud as him, this was not honor, but rather a kind of shame; fortunately, this shame would remain unknown to others.
Ye Fan did not respond, striving to calm the boiling Divine Power; at this moment, he was already critically injured, the consumption of Divine Power was also severe, origin damaged, and Pure Yang Qi nearly depleted.
It could be said, this was the most dangerous moment for Ye Fan since being pursued by Qing Family, with death possibly looming at any time!
"Your shamelessness surprises me too!" Ye Fan mocked.
"At death’s door, still trying to win a war of words!"
Ancient Immortal’s face sunk; he certainly understood the meaning of Ye Fan’s words but was powerless to retort.
"Kill!"
To prevent complications from arising, Ancient Immortal decided to act immediately, to kill Ye Fan here, as only the dead posed no threat and would tell none of what occurred here.
"Swoosh!"
After the earlier intense battle, Ye Fan knew he was absolutely no match for Ancient Immortal, and hence altered his strategy, turning around and fleeing at the speed of light using Chasing Star Step.
"Trying to run? Can you even escape?"
Ancient Immortal never expected Ye Fan to still have the strength to flee at this moment, stunned for a second, then dashed in pursuit.
Chasing Star Step is the fastest in the world, few Step Techniques could match it.
Though Ye Fan’s Divine Power consumption was severe with body and Divine Soul greatly wounded, Ancient Immortal could not catch up to him in the short term.
Firstly, Chasing Star Step is incredibly miraculous, revered as the fastest under the heavens, once unfolded, it seemed as if traversing through space.
Secondly, though Ye Fan’s Divine Power consumption was severe, he, after all, was different from common people, the Divine Power stored in his three hundred and sixty acupoints sufficed for him to exhaust for a while.
Sadly Ye Fan was unable to escape this Different Space, could only evade Ancient Immortal’s pursuit in this place full of time and space disturbances.
"Little mixed breed Ye, if you have the guts, stop and fight me head-on!"
After chasing for a while, stunned that he hadn’t caught up, Ancient Immortal angrily provoked Ye Fan.
"What’s the use of relying on a higher realm than me? You’ve utterly embarrassed the face of Ancient Emperor!" Ye Fan continued his fast pace, retorting.
"You..."
Ancient Immortal was fuming, his seven orifices smoking; utilizing high realms to oppress Ye Fan was a fact he did not want to face nor hear mentioned, yet Ye Fan gave him no leeway.
"I am willing to battle you in the same realm to wash away past humiliation; do you dare to fight me head-on?" Ancient Immortal shouted.
"Hehe..."
Ye Fan sneered.
"Aren’t you quite formidable? Let’s battle in the same realm, I’ll give you a chance for revenge."
Ancient Immortal continued to entice; if Ye Fan should stop, he would unleash a thunderous storm of attacks to kill Ye Fan.
Unfortunately, Ye Fan fell for none of it; Chasing Star Step performed to the utmost, faster than meteor lightning, even though Ancient Immortal had raised his speed to the limit, he still could not catch up to Ye Fan, eating dust from behind.
"In the same realm, I’d kill you like a chicken!"
Naturally, Ye Fan knew what Ancient Immortal’s scheme was, and certainly would not let him have his way.
Moreover, at this moment, he no longer had the ability to fight. If he stopped rashly, he would surely face the powerful attacks of the Ancient Immortal, which he did not want to confront yet.
"Do you think you can escape? This is a different space, filled with chaotic currents of time and space everywhere; I’d like to see where you can run to!"
The Ancient Immortal became ruthless, willing to burn divine power to quickly catch up with Ye Fan and finish him off.
"What should I do?"
Ye Fan was secretly anxious. Although the Chasing Star Step was the strongest and fastest step technique in the world, this place was filled with colorful streams of chaotic time and space. These brilliantly colored lights looked splendid but were extremely dangerous.
Such a light may seem insignificant, but its power was immense. If hit, not even Ye Fan’s body could withstand it.
Therefore, he had to be constantly vigilant, making sure not to be hit or surrounded by these seemingly beautiful lights, or else he would be doomed.
After fleeing for a quarter of an hour in such a restrictive environment, Ye Fan was finally caught up by the Ancient Immortal, who blasted over with an Ancient Emperor Fist.
"Boom!"
In the midst of his busy defense, Ye Fan countered with a punch, using a soft force to instantly separate upon contact with the Ancient Immortal’s Punch Ray, propelling himself further away with the rebound force.
"Ahhhhhhh..."
The Ancient Immortal was nearly driven mad, never expecting Ye Fan to be so cunning, using his powerful fist force to once again widen the gap between them.
During the chase, Ye Fan narrowly escaped danger several times, almost being killed by the Ancient Immortal on the spot.
This could be considered Ye Fan’s closest brush with death.
That day, he had narrowly escaped the clutches of the Death God numerous times, with no escape route from the Ancient Immortal’s pursuit.
Although this different space was vast, the chaotic currents of time and space were not to be trifled with, and no one could escape unscathed if swept by those rays of light.
In just a few hours, Ye Fan had his body shattered by the Ancient Immortal three or four times, each time only able to be reborn using the Phoenix Nirvana Technique with great effort from Primordial Power.
"Ye, you little bastard, let’s see how many times you can be reborn!"
The Ancient Immortal arrogantly taunted, though at this moment, his strength had also significantly diminished.
After all, battling in such space-time chaos was extremely exhausting of divine power, and he didn’t have the abnormal capacity to store divine power all over his body like Ye Fan.
Nonetheless, his realm was indeed higher than Ye Fan’s, with a very considerable total amount of divine power, otherwise, he would have long run out of it by now.
"What kind of freak is this little bastard, as if his divine power is endless, fighting until now, yet his divine power hasn’t exhausted?"
The Ancient Immortal muttered to himself while desperately giving chase.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan was drenched in blood, with tattered clothes, in a particularly wretched state, as if he had been fished out from a pool of blood.
"I wonder how Elder Xuan is doing..."
Ye Fan didn’t care about his injuries but was secretly worried about Elder Xuan, as despite both being Emperor Weapons, Elder Xuan was significantly damaged and couldn’t compare to the Gu Family’s Azure Gold Furnace.
In Ye Fan’s heart, Elder Xuan was like half a mentor to him; in this world, Elder Xuan was his guide and support!
For a while, the two sides were in a chase and escape, without further confrontation for a short time.
Outside the Trial Arena, Vice President Old Monster Zhou of the Imperial Academy received the news, but had some matters to handle before he could rush over.
The Emperor’s Secret Realm was the Imperial Academy’s highest secret, known only to very few people apart from these old teachers.
Vice President Old Monster Zhou naturally had the privilege. After President Seng Dao Yan brought Ye Fan and others in and arranged the guardians, he left.
As the Imperial Academy’s highest secret place, it naturally needed someone to be stationed. The President returned to the academy, so the Vice President had to stay on duty.
There was a great deal of work to transfer, and Old Monster Zhou was busying himself like crazy. Although he felt it was strange for Ye Fan and the Ancient Immortal to be cultivating in the Trial Arena, he didn’t pay it much mind.
After finishing his immediate tasks, he leisurely headed to the Trial Arena to check on why the two were acting so unusually, while the activated array patterns didn’t make the Demon Clan, human-shaped creatures, or Xuan Beasts attack them.
Arriving at the Trial Arena, Old Monster Zhou was somewhat surprised after briefly understanding the situation. After all, the Trial Arena existed solely for self-tempering; if one didn’t battle those Xuan Beasts, Demon Clan, and human-shaped creatures within the Trial Arena, what was the point of self-tempering?
"I’ll go take a look!"
Saying this, Old Monster Zhou took a step and entered the Mid-Stage of the Lord Realm Trial Arena where the Ancient Immortal had entered.
"Die!"
As Old Monster Zhou stepped into the Trial Arena, in the different space, the Ancient Immortal seized another opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Fan, nearly killing him outright, leaving his body full of cracks, like a beautiful porcelain viciously smashed with a hammer!
"Pfft..."
Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, his consciousness nearly blurred, hanging by a thread, almost being slain by the Ancient Immortal on the spot.
In his current state, Ye Fan was extremely weak, and any cultivator could easily kill him, yet after launching this deadly attack, the Ancient Immortal did not immediately strike with a killing blow.
Because he feared Ye Fan still had unknown cards up his sleeve, he prudently made brief adjustments, preparing to launch the final strike!
