Best Young Master

Chapter 1489: Chapter 1362: The Tree Wants to Be Still, but the Wind Won’t Cease

On the morning of the thirtieth day, a large crowd had gathered outside the back mountain, including students, teachers, and even elders.

Today is a day to witness a miracle!

They believed that Ye Fan would be immediately swept out by the Holy Light because the last day was only theoretically possible without anyone actually managing to endure it.

When Ye Fan saw the many Demon Clan strong people, his scalp tingled. He wasn’t truly a Young Emperor, managing to endure this far was already quite extraordinary.

Lan Yingfei and a group of old men stood on the mountain watching with interest, all agreeing that Ye Fan couldn’t possibly last.

If Ye Fan could slaughter all these Demon Clan strong people, he could directly be deified!

However—

They hadn’t expected Ye Fan to have been holding his ultimate trump card for precisely this moment.

Thirty Demon Clan strong people with blood and qi as vigorous as dragons stepped steadily towards Ye Fan, without initiating an attack immediately.

"Fortunately, I still have a backup plan!"

Ye Fan smiled at the murderous Demon Clan strong people rushing towards him, not even showing any intent to resist.

Just as the thirty Demon Clan strong people reached him, Ye Fan broke through the late-stage Holy Embryo Realm and reached the Peak of the Holy Embryo Realm!

"Rumble~"

As expected, the Heavenly Tribulation arrived. A vast Thunder Sea with dazzling light instantly shattered the Void Sky Illusion Realm, causing those Demon Clan strong people to naturally disappear.

"Uh..."

Lan Yingfei was dumbfounded, overwhelmed by the realization that undergoing Tribulation within the Void Sky Illusion Realm seemed insane!

"My Void Sky Illusion Realm..."

Quickly, as if realizing something, Lan Yingfei screamed and used Great Divine Power to transport Ye Fan and the Thunder Sea three hundred miles away to an isolated mountain for the Tribulation.

"It’s over; from today onwards, there’s one less Void Sky Illusion Realm!"

Lan Yingfei felt a tooth-gnashing hate but was helpless.

He never expected Ye Fan to break out using this method, with the Heavenly Tribulation descending. Even if these Demon Clan figures were purely illusory entities, real Demon Clan strong people would be forced to follow the Tribulation.

"Is this brat really a demon? How did he undergo Tribulation at this moment?"

Lan Yingfei was in near tears; he initially wanted to see Ye Fan make a fool of himself, but unexpectedly ended up hitting himself with his own Stone, destroying a Void Sky Illusion Realm.

Hmm?

Even the elders were taken aback. Was it a Divine Power Tribulation?

He had just been in the late-stage Holy Embryo Realm; even if he successfully broke through, it should have only been the Peak of the Holy Embryo Realm. A small realm shouldn’t have elicited a Heavenly Tribulation?

The elders were equally confused. Many geniuses didn’t endure Heavenly Tribulation even when breaking through Great Realms. What kind of anomaly was this kid that he attracted Heavenly Punishment at both breakthrough and small realm?

The most incredible thing was that Ye Fan’s Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying; even as a small realm Heavenly Tribulation, it was more terrifying than a typical anomaly’s Great Realm Heavenly Tribulation.

Tens of thousands of lightning strikes descended, leaving nothing behind. The back mountain was blasted into a massive pit.

This outcome caused many to twitch in awkward surprise, as Ye Fan’s Heavenly Tribulation was too terrifying!

To many, Ye Fan was undoubtedly a demon, rejected by the heavens; even ascending a minor realm would bring down lightning and attract such a massive Heavenly Tribulation.

"Perhaps it’s because he cultivates the Thunder Venerable’s legacy!"

An elder deduced the reason behind it.

In the past, the Thunder Venerable faced constant lightning tribulations, each breakthrough attracting powerful Heavenly Tribulations; it was because of this he comprehended the power of thunder, creating the unparalleled Thunderclap Treasure Skill.

As his inheritor, it seemed normal that Ye Fan faced lightning tribulation; the Thunder Venerable’s lineage almost invariably faced lightning strikes, strong Heavenly Tribulations at every realm ascent.

Ye Fan, of course, had no idea how others were discussing him, being in the throes of a Tribulation with endless thunder light connecting heaven and earth, each tribulation lightning carrying annihilative power that shattered mountains, scattering debris everywhere.

The Bai Yan wolf hid within the crowd, quietly refraining from even glancing at where Ye Fan was undergoing the Tribulation.

As a successor of the Thunder Venerable, wasn’t enduring lightning a given?

He must surpass it; without such endurance, how qualified would he be to inherit the Thunder Venerable’s mantle?

"Roar!"

With a loud shout, Ye Fan opened his mouth, refining the endless thunder light and swallowing it, his body momentarily exploding with sound, catching a trace of the Heaven and Earth Great Tao through this unique means.

In the thunder light’s tempering, Ye Fan’s body began to transform, but was immediately halted by Elder Xuan, prevented from transformation at that moment.

According to Elder Xuan, such a vast Heavenly Tribulation was nearly destructive to normal people, but for him, having tempered his body with Thunder Liquid, it wasn’t enough. He needed to wait for a more powerful Heavenly Tribulation, the Divine Power Tribulation, to fully transform; otherwise, this attempt would end halfway.

Ye Fan had unconditional trust in Elder Xuan and continued the Tribulation Body Refinement without transforming, continuously hammering his body, engraving traces of the Heaven and Earth Great Tao.

All Great Emperors have their Emperor Weapon, yet Ye Fan decided not to use one, believing that with a sufficiently powerful body, sheer strength could break all methods, no matter the Divine Skills or Spiritual Treasures used; he could shatter them with a single punch!

Proving Dao through strength was something no one had attempted before!

Ye Fan merely entertained the idea, uncertain of its outcome.

The Heavenly Tribulation continued for a full hour, with lightning obliterating several mountain tops, demonstrating its terror.

Later, Ye Fan had to respond cautiously, avoiding channeling the Heavenly Tribulation into his body, as it was too dangerous.

After an hour, the Heavenly Tribulation suddenly vanished. Ye Fan quickly donned clothes, having completed the ordeal, brimming with vitality and exuberance, as if the Tribulation hadn’t even happened to him.

"Oh heavens, was that a Tribulation? He looks like he just took the ultimate tonic!" someone exclaimed.

"A demon, truly a demon. While others get half-destroyed during Tribulation and barely survive divine reckoning, he comes out unscathed, leaving others bewildered!"

Many lamented this way, Ye Fan’s prominence emerging from this Heavenly Tribulation, surviving such a massive ordeal, formidable enough to eliminate strong figures at the Peak of the Divine Power Realm, but he made it through lively.

Soon, Ye Fan returned to the academy, where Lan Yingfei stood before him, extending his hand, saying, "Kid, compensate!"

Ye Fan was taken aback; what did this mean? When had he owed him money?

Seeing Ye Fan’s confused expression, Lan Yingfei nearly imprinted his shoe’s sole on his face, yet restrained himself, coldly saying, "You destroyed a Void Sky Illusion Realm; how will you compensate?"

"Oh, I see..."

Ye Fan immediately recalled hearing a sound like shattering glass when he induced the Heavenly Tribulation, realizing the vacancy of the Void Sky Illusion Realm, explaining the sudden despatch of demon strong people.

"Elder Lan, I’ve completed the ultimate special training; shouldn’t I be rewarded or something?"

Ye Fan’s brows furrowed, quickly thinking of a strategy, preempting the compensation talk with a reward request, blocking Lan Yingfei’s words.

"Uh... this..."

Lan Yingfei hadn’t expected Ye Fan to demand a reward.

Logically, Ye Fan may have destroyed a Void Sky Illusion Realm, but breaking through the legend, perfectly completing the special training, was unprecedented and deserved some reward.

"I’m not in charge; it’s up to the Old Immortal Dean to decide!" Lan Yingfei pushed the awkward situation onto the dean.

Ye Fan didn’t genuinely intend to demand a reward but rather aim not to compensate for the Void Sky Illusion Realm because he, a Little Cultivator, couldn’t afford to without surrendering an Emperor Weapon.

Ultimately, Ye Fan muddled through, while Lan Yingfei reported to the Dean Old Immortal in frustration, concluding the final day was beyond his intervention.

"Now you’ve really made a name for yourself, actually lasting until the last day; you’ll surely go down in the academy’s chronicles!"

This was Han Sandong’s first remark upon seeing Ye Fan; he had witnessed Ye Fan triggering the Heavenly Tribulation, shattering the Void Sky Illusion Realm, creating an enormous stir at the Immortal Academy!

Ye Fan repeatedly chuckled wryly, not anticipating such a drastic outcome.

If he had known the rules earlier, he wouldn’t have persevered to the end, surrendering resistance like the others once they were transported out.

Like a tree desiring peace, but the wind won’t cease!

Initially intending for humble Cultivation, Ye Fan unwittingly stirred so much disruption.
