Best Young Master

Seeing that Ye Fan didn’t pay attention to him, the young genius with a sinister expression let out a satisfied cold snort and went off to find a place to cultivate.

"That kid is called Li Tianfeng, the strongest heir of the ancient Li Family from the Northern East Domain. He broke through to the Divine Power Realm at just sixteen, hailed as the most outstanding genius in the Li Family over the past five thousand years, but his character is too venemous..."

Shi Ye introduced the identity and character of this sinister-faced young genius to Ye Fan using divine consciousness.

"I don’t care who he is, as long as he doesn’t bother me!" Ye Fan said.

"You’re formidable..."

Shi Ye let out a bitter laugh; he knew Ye Fan too well. Even the strongest heir of the first family in the Southern Domain Qing Province, the Qing Family, was not spared. If Li Tianfeng were indeed blind enough to provoke him, he’d definitely end up in trouble!

Most of the young geniuses who arrived came from various clans and heavenly prides from Holy Lands, all aspiring to tread the path to becoming a Great Emperor. At the very least, they aimed to become Saint Heirs who could shake a region, so they dared not slack off and went off to cultivate.

The narrow area continued to fill with people, with new arrivals every day. Some came severely injured, barely managing to support themselves until collapsing here.

Meanwhile, most people had blood-stained battle robes, even their hair was marked by dried blood, surrounded by an overwhelming stench.

These people all had eyes as sharp as blades, each one extremely powerful, with Essence Qi as vigorous as fierce beasts, carrying an aura of dominance with every gesture.

Ten days passed, and thirty geniuses gathered at this place, each a momentary luminary destined to be future Saints.

"Cough cough... Stop cultivating, you’re not here for cultivation!"

On the eleventh day, the Vice President of Immortal Academy, Old Monster Lu, appeared before everyone, lightly coughing to awaken them from their cultivation stance.

With a glance at the crowd, the Vice President smiled and said, "Good, very good, you all are exemplary; humanity’s future lies with you!"

Upon hearing the Vice President’s words, Ye Fan couldn’t help but frown. Was something big about to happen?

"You must have heard about this Ancient Battlefield. It was accidentally discovered by one of our alchemists and is the highest secret of the Immortal Academy, known only to a few besides you."

The Vice President’s face turned serious and continued, "As per our Academy Dean and some senior experts’ speculation, it’s the battlefield from the Ancient Times where human cultivators and the Demon Clan fought fiercely. Countless Human Race elites shed their blood for the sake of mankind’s stability and peace, which we must never forget!"

With that, the Vice President took the lead toward the center of the Ancient Battlefield, with Ye Fan and the others following suit, as Bai Yan wolf stealthily trailed behind Ye Fan, saying nothing.

This matter wasn’t within its power to comment on, and staying silent was the best stance.

Huh?

As soon as entering the Ancient Battlefield, Ye Fan felt an overpowering and somber aura. The view was full of devastation, countless mountains destroyed, the ground cracking, rivers altering courses; the entire landscape transformed by the battle.

Everywhere lay bleaching bones, some already completely weathered, crumbling into bone powder under a slight disturbance, vanishing from the world.

Among these remains, Ye Fan discovered numerous human remains, some retaining faint divine power, others crystal-like jade, remaining robust despite thousands of years. It was evident how powerful these bones’ owners were during their lifetime.

Beside these human remains were many Demon Clan remains, some indistinguishable from humans, differing only by retaining certain features of Xuan Beasts, with additions or omissions in their bones.

"This..."

Next to Ye Fan, a young genius with sword-like brows and starry eyes frowned deeply, meditated for a while, then suddenly said, "I remember! This should be the site of a great showdown between the Human Race and Demon Clan. According to my family’s records, thousands of years ago, humanity and demons fought an unprecedented battle in the Southern East Domain for dominion over this land!"

That war led to severe human losses, many holy lands broke their lineage, and the current holy lands only rose after those disappeared."

"Yue Chuan, could you explain what exactly happened?" a nearby genius asked.

Through these days of interaction, Ye Fan had come to learn many names and origins, including Yue Chuan, who was the strongest heir of an Emperor clan from the East Domain.

His ancestor proved Dao and became the Human Emperor during the Ancient Times, overlooking the heavens, dominating an era. In that human Great Emperor era, humanity reached its peak, becoming the true ruler of this world.

It could be said that the Human Emperor left enormous merit for humanity and endless legends. After his disappearance, Emperor Wu rose."

With such a long-standing clan, knowing these hidden secrets was quite normal, and many wished him to elaborate on this monumental conflict between humans and demons.

"Do you wish to know the course of this battle?" the Vice President asked the crowd.

"Indeed!"

The crowd answered in unison, eager to learn about the fierce clash between humanity and demons.

"Alright, I’ll employ a secret technique to recreate the battle scenes from that era!"

Saying so, Vice President Old Monster Lu’s expression turned solemn as his hands traced profound and unfathomable marks, seemingly aligned with the Dao, causing the atmosphere here to change drastically.

"Trace back to the origin, return to the essence, appear!"

The Vice President shouted, and the crowd’s view blurred momentarily, entering an illusion realm, where they could feel the overwhelming hand power, robust fist force, blinding Divine Radiance, and various spiritual treasures streaking across the sky.

Continuous screams impacted everyone’s consciousness; many trembled lightly, their eyes hollow, consciousness immersed in this recreated great battle through the secret technique.

Ye Fan was no exception, but having previously experienced scenes of Ancient Gods and human-shaped creatures battling in the Divine Race Forbidden Land, he had built some immunity, not completely immersed.

When the secret technique was enacted and the illusion realm appeared, Ye Fan immediately recognized the similarity with the illusion realm he previously experienced.

At that instant, Ye Fan seemed transported back to Ancient Times, overwhelmed by a sense of desolation and heaviness, as a fierce battle unfolded before him between a human strongperson and a Great Demon!

"Kill!"

The strong man from the Human Race wielded a black big spear, piercing the void, stabbing towards a Great Demon, while the Great Demon was also very powerful, spitting out a mouthful of Innate Primordial Essence Qi, resisting the big spear, and then slapped down, the black gigantic hand was like a millstone, trying to suppress the strong man of Human Race.

Puff!

This strong man from the Human Race fought with all his might to resist, but was still slapped into pulp, completely dying an unnatural death!

This was only a mere shadow of the massive battlefield, such tragedies occurring at any moment, with deaths including Human Race Saints and Demon Kings, Great Demons, and others, the combat situation was extremely tragic.

Buzz!

A big hammer swept across the sky, smashing a Great Demon directly into a pulp.

A Saint of the Human Race, clad in beast skin, wielding a big hammer, crushed the ancient heavens, nothing could withstand.

"Old Wild Man, don’t be arrogant, I’ll fight you!"

With a loud roar, a stretch of mountains shattered, a Demon King resembling a Qilin rose into the sky, with a gesture, summoned a nearby mountain, directly refining it into a Mountain and River Seal, fiercely striking towards the old Wild Man’s forehead!

Boom!

The old Wild Man wielded the big hammer, directly hitting the Mountain and River Seal away, then engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon King, every gesture and motion carried the Essence of Tao.

Ye Fan’s consciousness shook, this was definitely an epic grand battle, the Human Race and the Demon Clan fought for control over this land, ultimately erupting into such a large-scale battle.

Countless strong men of Human Race fell, even if dead, they would self-destruct their Holy Embryo, dragging their enemy along, human cultivators wrote a poignant epic.

"For the future of the Human Race, kill!"

"For the rise of the Demon Clan, annihilate all humans!"

The strongest of the Human Race and the emperors of the Demon Clan voiced together, pushing the battle to its peak, numerous strong men of the Human Race for the future of humanity, gave their lives, shed blood, fought to the last drop, dealing severe blows to the Demon Clan.

Yet, the Demon Clan also had many formidable species, innately powerful, transforming into the Demon Clan was even more fearsome, battling till the heavens collapsed, the earth shattered, rivers reversed, utterly devastating this area spanning tens of thousands of miles!

"Li Huo Divine Flag!"

A Saint Lord from the Human Race shouted, unleashing a Li Huo Divine Flag forged from his Holy Embryo, overwhelming fire suddenly erupted, burning a Great Demon alive!

Immediately, a Great Demon unleashed his Spiritual Treasure, like a Spirit Snake, broke through the space, appeared before the Saint, piercing his brow directly.

Bang!

The Saint Lord of the Human Race screamed tragically, his head exploded, dying an unnatural death, falling down, becoming one among many corpses, no longer traceable.

In the high sky above, flesh flew, broken limbs and decayed bodies fell like rain, continually dropping, causing fear.

This was an absolutely tragic warfare, countless heroic figures from the Human Race, with their flesh and blood, paved a broad highway for the future of humanity.

Not only Ye Fan, many others also witnessed these tragic scenes, numerous strong men of the Human Race, nearly with tears, perished together with their enemies, using their lives to exchange for the victory of the grand battle.

The void was constantly torn apart, even Emperor Weapons appeared, overpowering all ages, just a strand of aura shattered several Great Demons, one can only imagine, once activated what a terrifying scene it would be.

However—

The Demon Clan also had Emperor Weapon, restraining the Human Race Emperor Weapon, the battle continued, countless Demon Clans participated in this unprecedented grand battle.

Numerous living fossils of the Human Race also emerged from seclusion, exerting their remaining heat, fighting against several old demons who posed significant threats to the strong men of the Human Race.

This battle lasted for several months, strong men of the Human Race from the Five Great Domains almost all participated, many Human Race strong men died in this battle.

Blood flowed on the oar, bodies piled into mountains?

It was no longer suitable for such scenes, countless strong men fell, blood merged into a rushing river, corpses layer upon layer, the bodies of Human Race strong men and Demon Clan Great Demons intertwined, making it indistinct.

More than thirty geniuses all immersed in this ancient and grand battle, some mourned with tears, others gritted their teeth, showing varied expressions.

Even Ye Fan was infected, seeing these scenes, his anger surged, wishing he was born in that era, also joining in, even if dying, he wanted the Demon Clan to pay dearly!

Only Bai Yan wolf’s expression was somewhat unnatural, no matter what, it was part of the Xuan Beast, belonging to the part of Demon Clan, determined by bloodline, unchangeable.

Facing this situation, Bai Yan wolf could only be silent, truthfully speaking, it wished for humans and Demon Clan to coexist peacefully, but also knew it couldn’t influence this grand trend.

The Human Race and Demon Clan, sooner or later would erupt into a grand battle, by then, it might be even more tragic, unless a Great Emperor appears in the Demon or Human Race.

Only Great Emperor, could suppress the Ten Thousand Clans!

No one dares to act defiantly before a Great Emperor, otherwise, they would inevitably be annihilated, leaving nothing behind.
