Best Young Master

"Is he worth it?"

Some elders from the Immortal Academy were shocked. If they could truly nurture a Great Emperor, no cost would be too great.

Currently, the human race is in a dire situation. The Demon Clan is on the rise, and the restrictions of the Ancient Emperors aren’t enough to keep them in check. To coexist peacefully, sufficient strength is required.

"Absolutely worth it!"

Lan Yingfei’s eyes were fervent, as if he already saw a Great Emperor rising, unstoppable!

"Alright! To cultivate a Great Emperor, our Immortal Academy will spare no effort. Now, it depends on his overall combat power!"

The elders of the Immortal Academy took the order. From this moment on, all the resources of the academy were directed towards Ye Fan.

Of course, Ye Fan was still unaware of how astonishing his performance had been; at this moment, his body was facing immense resistance.

The Lake of Reincarnation possesses the most primordial power between heaven and earth. Although much has been refined, it can still exhibit terrifying power against entering cultivators.

"Hmm?"

Ye Fan’s eyes shot out two mysterious lights, and in the haziness, he seemed to see a seal beneath the Lake of Reincarnation, blocking something!

At this moment, he hadn’t yet reached the bottom of the lake but was walking on the amber-like seal. There were some shadows below, but it was unclear what exactly they were.

"Elder Xuan, can you sense what is below?"

Ye Fan felt uneasy. His intuition told him that the thing beneath the Lake of Reincarnation was not ordinary.

"I can’t. My current strength is less than one-tenth of my peak, but without a doubt, this Lake of Reincarnation must be set up by someone on par with a Great Emperor."

Though Elder Xuan’s strength was no longer what it once was, his insight was still sharp.

"This place is very sinister. Before reaching the necessary strength, it must not be further investigated, or else there will be great trouble!"

Even with Elder Xuan’s caution, naturally, Ye Fan wouldn’t take risks. He was already at the position of the ninth Qing Lian; just one more step and he could cross successfully.

However—

At this moment, he also encountered immense resistance. Even the Nine Heavens Profound Body found it extremely difficult, and his muscles almost began to rupture.

"This is insane!"

A group of people on the shore were speechless. Ye Fan’s Divine Soul Power was terrifying enough because many of them knew Ye Fan cultivated the Divine Soul Sword Technique, and his Divine Soul power was far stronger than that of his peers.

But Ye Fan’s physical strength being equally terrifying was somewhat unbearable for people.

This kind of demon blocked the path for many people; with both his physical and Divine Soul being equally frightening, his strength would naturally not be ordinary. How could others survive?

"Ah..."

Ye Fan roared to the sky, his whole body emanating a treasure light, surrounded by the power of thunder that swirled like little dragons, lighting up all 360 acupoints around his body, as if clothed in a cosmic star river.

Bang!

Ye Fan decided to make a move. The Xuandi Fist was unleashed, with invincible Fist Intent as if propelling a world, breaking chaos, creating a new world, and the earth, fire, wind, and water cycled on his fist!

Boom!

Ye Fan’s fists struck in cycles, taking difficult steps, and finally broke through the ninth Qing Lian, stepping onto the opposite shore!

After ascending the Divine Soul Bridge, Ye Fan succeeded in crossing the Lake of Reincarnation!

"A miracle! This is absolutely a miracle!"

Geniuses from various regions were dumbfounded.

They were all outstanding among the younger generation, but even those who reached the early-stage Divine Power Realm could not fully pass the test.

However—

Ye Fan, who was only at the Peak of the Holy Embryo Realm, did it, astonishing them greatly.

"Looks like I need to go into seclusion and practice hard, or else on the future path of proving the Dao, I won’t stand a chance!"

These people felt immense pressure. Ye Fan’s performance was too stunning. Before even breaking through to the Divine Power Realm, he was already so powerful. Once he did, who could rival him among his contemporaries?

"With a powerful Divine Soul and an invincible body, what kind of freak is he?"

Even some of the elders in the academy were stunned at this moment.

They confessed that at Ye Fan’s realm, they absolutely could not achieve what he did.

"Whew~"

After passing the test of the Lake of Reincarnation, Ye Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, sat down cross-legged without regard for others, and his body thundered explosively as if opening up the world. His vitality surged like an ocean, and within a brief quarter of an hour, he recovered to peak condition.

By this time, people had become numb. Ye Fan had shocked them too much. No matter what astonishing feats he achieved, they took it for granted.

The reason was simple—because he was Ye Fan!

A single sentence, "He is Ye Fan," was enough. There was nothing he couldn’t do. This sentence weighed down on the geniuses present, unable to raise their heads.

"To the Life and Death Tower!"

Without a pause, Ye Fan continued. Since he was testing, he would test everything!

"The Heaven and Earth Bridge, the Lake of Reincarnation, are not challenging enough!"

Ye Fan sighed. He had thought he would find his shortcomings, only to pass everything.

"This is too irritating!"

"I want to strangle him!"

Upon hearing Ye Fan’s words, the other geniuses were so angry that they were driven to madness. Despite their strenuous efforts, they couldn’t pass the test, yet Ye Fan’s remark left them infuriated!

"Let him be arrogant; let’s see how long he can stay that way!"

Some couldn’t believe it. Divine Soul being unparalleled and an invincible body, what could that count for? If overall strength wasn’t up to par, it still wouldn’t work!

Of course, this was just an impulsive remark. As Ye Fan and others headed towards the Life and Death Tower, they quickly followed.

"Indeed, his body..."

Wu Jingtian’s eyes flashed with brilliance. He had fought Ye Fan once, though he suppressed his realm, he lost. He had anticipated Ye Fan’s formidable body strength.

The successor of the Human Emperor, Yue Chuan, was shocked. He hadn’t fought against Ye Fan before and didn’t know how strong Ye Fan really was. Seeing that he even passed the Physical Body Test, Yue Chuan couldn’t help but look at him differently.

"He must not be allowed to grow, or no one will be able to balance him!"

Upon learning this news, Zhou Zhaolong harbored a hidden killing intent in his eyes.

...

The Life and Death Tower, ancient and majestic, exudes the Qi of life and death. It is adorned with stone carvings of sun, moon, stars, and various mythical beasts, incredibly realistic.

The Divine Phoenix spreads its wings, the Qilin soars, Immortal Cranes glides, and the Divine Dragon traverses the skies. You can see all sorts of legendary rare and mutant beasts on this ancient Life and Death Tower.

The top of the Ancient Tower has a circular hole, as if pierced through by a single finger. The surroundings are smooth, without any cracks.

With the scorching sun overhead, the Ancient Tower casts a huge shadow. In the shadow at the tower’s top, a circular beam of light descends.

Ye Fan arrived in front of the Life and Death Tower but did not enter immediately. Instead, he contemplated the Ancient Tower from a distance!

When it comes to talent and comprehension, everyone present was a Heavenly Pride. No one had inferior comprehension, yet in front of this ancient tower filled with life and death, no one could gain any inspiration!

"Life and Death, Yin and Yang, opposing yet coexisting."

Ye Fan suddenly thought of an ancient saying from Earth that had been passed down through generations: "Blessing resides within misfortune, and misfortune lies within blessing."

The Life and Death Tower does not signify a line between life and death; instead, life contains death, and death nurtures life. Life and death are interdependent and intertwined, representing Tai Chi!

This is an exposition of the power of the World Origin!

Ye Fan felt an empty spirit within.

At this moment, he grasped the true Secret Technique of the Life and Death Tower.

"So that’s it! I’m going to have a go!"

Ye Fan’s gaze was calm. There was no aura of a strong person about him, seeming as an ordinary person.

Soon, Ye Fan stepped into the first layer of the Life and Death Tower.

Swish!

Upon entry, Ye Fan felt the world transform instantly, as if he had arrived at a time before the Ancient Chaos. A sense of desolation permeated.

In front of him stretched endless wilderness, vast and boundless. At the distant end of the sky churned Chaos; this was a small world.

Of course, compared to the Virtual Space, this small world was quite constrained. It hadn’t formed its rules yet, just being relatively stable, unable to be shattered.

While observing this small world, a young man appeared not far ahead, wearing extremely ancient attire.

Ye Fan’s eyes shot out sharp gleams. The young man’s attire closely resembled that of the Ancient Huaxia, yet Ye Fan knew he was certainly not Huaxia.

Throughout the universe, all Human Race from any world shares similar forms, so resemblances in attire are understandable.

"There’s no need to look. This is the first layer world of the Life and Death Tower. Defeat me, and the Illusion Realm will naturally dissipate. If defeated by me, die!"

The young man was very composed, having reached the extreme of the late-stage Holy Embryo Realm, not yet at the Peak of Holy Embryo Realm but close.

"Kill!"

The young man wasted no words, unleashing a killing move right away. Behind him, a Golden Dragon soared into the sky, making him appear like a Dragon God!

Utilizing a Divine Dragon as the Holy Embryo, this person must have great ambition; his strength is formidable!

However, his strength did not concern Ye Fan.

Facing the attack, Ye Fan released his aura, encapsulating himself like a Demon God, covered by a hundred and eight Divine Rings, resembling a Divine being.

Bam!

Ye Fan didn’t employ any Holy Power, meeting the attack with just his Physical Strength. A single punch shattered the young man’s fist into pulp!

Then, the young man’s arm exploded, blood splattering everywhere!

"So strong..."

The young man barely uttered two words before he exploded into a wisp of green smoke, vanishing before Ye Fan.

"Passed!"

An ethereal voice echoed, and the surroundings immediately brightened.

The desolate world vanished. Ye Fan still stood on the first layer of the Life and Death Tower, before him a stone wall depicting a lifelike young man, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, identical to the one Ye Fan just defeated with a punch.

"This is an imprint..."

Ye Fan marveled, amazed at the ancients’ ability to create an imprint capable of such combat power, truly terrifying.

The first layer of the Life and Death Tower was empty. There was nothing but a winding staircase leading to the second layer.

Without hesitation, Ye Fan proceeded to the second layer of the Ancient Tower, now understanding why the Life and Death Tower is considered a comprehensive strength test.

It’s entirely practical combat. Ye Fan felt the power contained within the young man; failure to defeat him would mean certain death!

"You have arrived!"

As soon as he ascended the second layer of the Ancient Tower, Ye Fan heard a familiar voice—the same young man from before, now much more mature. The scene was identical to the first layer.

"Peak of Holy Embryo Realm!"

Ye Fan immediately recognized that though the young man before him was the same as the one from the first layer, his power had now reached the Peak of Holy Embryo Realm.
