Chapter 1648: Chapter 1518: Son of the Ancient Emperor

The Emperor’s direct descendant, this is an extremely prominent yet sensitive identity!

The Ancient Emperors, each was a figure of monumental impact, with great achievements for humanity. Their children not only have pure bloodlines but also inherit their legacies.

The birth of an Ancient Emperor’s descendant signifies an era of even fiercer competition. Among the peers, who can compete with the direct descendants of Emperors?

Similarly, the emergence of an Emperor’s descendant also heralds the arrival of a grand era. Previous generations of Emperors missed the opportunity for immortality, but they deduced that the Immortal Path will reopen in this era.

To seize the opportunity to prove Dao, to fight for the chance to become immortal, I’m afraid it’s not only the direct descendants of Ancient Emperors who will appear; other Emperor’s descendants sealed by the Di family might also emerge in a short time.

This world will be a chaotic dark age, an era of decline and bloodshed, where many peerless geniuses will be born, yet ultimately only one person will prevail...

Knowing that the direct descendant of an Emperor will appear is one thing, but seeing the descendant in person is an entirely different experience. Even Liu Da and his companions were stunned, never expecting an Emperor’s son to be hiding among their ranks.

"This wasn’t hard to guess. Your name is Huai Gu, and I’ve seen you in action; you bear the mark of the Ancient Emperor Family and are even stronger than Gu Xiao, the strongest heir of the Gu family. If you aren’t an Emperor’s son, I really can’t think of any other identity for you."

When Liu Da and his companions were shocked by Huai Gu’s identity, Ye Fan spoke up in response.

"Moreover, your name is Huai Gu, which also made me suspect. Huai Gu, reminiscing about the Ancient Emperor. If you weren’t an Ancient Emperor’s descendant, you wouldn’t choose such an alias!"

As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, Huai Gu started clapping and said, "Brilliant, brilliant deduction. I thought I had no flaws, yet you found so many."

"Now, can you tell me your real name?" Ye Fan then asked.

Huai Gu smiled slightly and said, "My real name is Gu Xian, Xian as in Immortal, a name my father gave me hoping I could prove the Dao and become Immortal."

"You are Ye Fan, right? Although you changed your appearance, they betrayed you!"

Gu Xian pointed to Hu Fei and his two companions and said, "I’ve just emerged, and yet, I know a little about the Northern Domain. Where there are these three, you must also be present!"

"Yes, I am Ye Fan!"

Ye Fan admitted openly. Since the other party was not hiding anything from him, there was no need for him to hide either. But he asked in a deep voice, "What do you intend to do? Revenge for Gu Xiao?"

"Not at all, not at all!"

Huai Gu shook his head and said, "I don’t want to be your enemy, nor do I intend to take action against you. I can sense that you also have the bloodline of an Emperor. I hope we can be friends because there are truly too few people with whom one can fight alongside in this world."

"Friends?"

Ye Fan sneered and said, "No need. I know very well what kind of people your Gu family are; I don’t want a friend who could stab me in the back at any moment!"

"Ah..."

Huai Gu sighed and said, "You misunderstand me. They are them, and I am me. I’ve been sealed for endless ages, and being born is purely coincidental. As for how those descendants have developed, I don’t know, so rest assured, I am completely different from them!"

"Alright, I’ll trust you for now."

Ye Fan thought and decided not to make an enemy of Gu Xian so quickly.

"Can you tell me what that Golden Book page is?"

Gu Xian couldn’t help but ask. His original intention was to seize the Immortal Elixir, but since that failed, the Golden Book page occupied his mind.

"Dragon Seeking Supplement!"

Ye Fan said, "The owner of this coffin is the first generation Earth Master. This Golden Book page is his inspiration in his later years, recording some geomorphic matters, nothing counted as a secret technique!"

"I see, you must have the heritage of an Earth Master to obtain this Golden Book page, right? Otherwise, among so many of us, only you managed to get it!"

Gu Xian said, "And if I’m not wrong, the reason you were able to lead us to safety before was due to using Earth Master techniques!"

"Yes, indeed, I obtained a Dragon Seeking Formula, and it was thanks to the secret techniques within it that I was able to bring you to safety and unravel the array patterns on the coffin to open it. That’s also why I could obtain the Dragon Seeking Supplement." Ye Fan did not hide it.

Firstly, along the way, he had used the Earth Master methods several times, and hiding at this point was meaningless.

Secondly, he wanted to test Gu Xian’s character to see if Gu Xian could indeed overlook the enmity between him and the Gu family and turn enemies into friends.

In a way, Ye Fan also didn’t want to have one more Emperor’s son as an enemy, because the direct descendants of the Great Emperors have very strong bloodlines, especially these children who are not a generation removed.

"So it seems your luck is truly extraordinary, even obtaining the Earth Master heritage!"

As he spoke, Gu Xian suddenly turned hostile, violently swiping a palm toward Ye Fan, causing primordial qi to surge, a massive light palm blasting Ye Fan away!

"Bastard..."

"Shameless..."

"Damn..."

Hu Fei and the other two were shocked and furious. Nobody foresaw Gu Xian suddenly turning hostile when the conversation seemed fine, not even a clue, and it was too late for the three to intervene!

"Hahaha..."

Gu Xian laughed wildly and said, "Shameless? I don’t want to make things difficult, so I suggest you not to make a move against me, or I won’t hesitate to kill you!"

After speaking, Gu Xian turned to Ye Fan and said coldly, "You harmed the disciples of my Gu family, today I demand full retribution—I want not only your Emperor Weapon but also your Dragon Seeking Formula, with it, I could leave on my own, you shall die here in peace!"

"You really have a two-faced nature, turning hostile abruptly, but do you really think you can kill me?"

Ye Fan crashed into the stone wall, leaving a human-shaped indentation, embedding in it, sneering as he spoke.

"I really can’t think what you rely on? You’re merely in the Late-stage Divine Realm, and I am in the Late-stage of Lord Realm, leading you by nearly an entire Great Realm, what do you think you can compete with me?"

Gu Xian said disdainfully, "Over bloodline, I am the direct descendant of an Ancient Emperor, with the purest Great Emperor bloodline flowing through me, and you? A hybrid after God knows how many generations, your strength is even worse, in any aspect, I cannot think of what gives you the qualification to contend with me?"

"Qualification, huh?"

Ye Fan moved slightly, freed himself from the stone wall, stretched his muscles, and said, "This is qualification!"

Whoosh!

As the words fell, Ye Fan gestured with a hand, summoning a Dragon Vein, instantly transforming into a True Dragon form and struck at Gu Xian.

"Suppress!"

At the same time, Ye Fan let out a loud roar. The Divine Soul Resonance Sound Wave Technique, the first Heavenly Sound roared out, directly impacting the Divine Soul of the Ancient Immortal.

Whoosh! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Then, he raised his right hand, striking towards the Ancient Immortal.

Immortal Stele Scattering Hand!

Facing the Ancient Immortal, Ye Fan dared not be careless, starting off with a killing move!

"Humph!"

The Ancient Immortal roared furiously in response, desperately resisting Ye Fan’s suppression sound of the Heavenly Sound while simultaneously unleashing the secret technique of the Ancient Emperor. Its attack power was unmatched, shattering the True Dragon formed by Earth Vein Dragon Qi back into Dragon Qi.

However—

The Immortal Stele Scattering Hand exceeded his understanding. A massive black palm unexpectedly formed above his head, fiercely striking down with Ye Fan’s gesture.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, the Ancient Immortal was directly slammed into the ground by Ye Fan’s Immortal Stele Scattering Hand.

Although the Ancient Immortal was the child of the Ancient Emperor and at the Mid-Stage of the Lord Realm, with extremely terrifying power, in this Jiu Long Nest, Ye Fan could use the Dragon Veins in combat, fighting across a Great Realm without any pressure.

"You’re much stronger than I imagined, but it doesn’t matter, today I will surely slay you!"

The black palm vanished, and the Ancient Immortal staggered to his feet, feeling utterly humiliated; he never expected Ye Fan to have such a move.

Moreover, the power of this move was truly terrifying. Facing it, he felt as if he were facing a Saint Lord Level powerhouse, a strength that completely overwhelmed him, making it impossible to even resist.

In his view, the intensity of such an attack must be driven by some kind of self-harming secret technique, and Ye Fan could only use it once, definitely impossible to perform a second time.

However—

To the Ancient Immortal’s surprise, just as he stood up, Ye Fan raised his right hand again...

Boom!!

Following Ye Fan’s gesture, another massive black palm suddenly appeared above the Ancient Immortal’s head, slamming him back into the ground once more.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

...

Subsequently, the Ancient Immortal repeatedly crawled up from the ground, only to be repeatedly "planted" back into the ground by Ye Fan’s Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, not giving him a chance to resist.

Luckily, the Ancient Immortal had cultivated a certain secret technique, granting him extremely strong defense, and carried a powerful Defensive Spiritual Artifact; otherwise, he would be severely injured if not dead.

Even though there was no life-threatening danger, the Ancient Immortal was frustrated to the point of vomiting blood!

He never dreamed of encountering such a scenario!

On the contrary, in his eyes, using his power against Ye Fan would hurt Ye Fan as easily as flipping a hand!

Yet reality harshly taught him a lesson, making him fully understand what it means to reap what one sows. In a place with Earth Vein Dragon Qi and Heaven Grade Spirit Stones, Ye Fan’s combat power is inexhaustible.

Fighting with Ye Fan in the Jiu Long Nest, a place where Dragon Qi is abundant, was purely asking for abuse!

"Ah..."

Gu Xiao roared towards the sky in anger, almost exploding with rage. Ye Fan’s Immortal Stele Scattering Hand was indeed formidable; if it weren’t for the protection left behind by the first-generation Earth Master using array patterns, the place would already have been destroyed beyond recognition given Ye Fan’s current strength.

"What are you yelling about?"

Ye Fan casually unleashed another Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, directly slamming him back into the ground as if he were swatting a fly.

"Ye, I will never end this with you; either you die or I perish!" Ancient Immortal shouted with extreme anger.

"Then you shall perish! Ancient Emperor’s child, I’ll cut you down just the same!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan attacked with full force, slamming down hard, nearly crushing the Ancient Immortal beneath.

What?

At that moment, Ye Fan suddenly felt all the Primordial Qi in the heavens and earth flowing towards the Ancient Coffin, even the Dragon Qi.

"Clang!"

With a loud noise, the opened coffin lid autonomously closed, as the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and Earth Vein Dragon Qi flowed like streams into the coffin and dragon bones on the altar.

"Roar..."

An empty dragon roar sounded, as if the nine dragon bones came alive, swaying their heads and tails, pulling the Ancient Coffin as they were about to leave, while a white Domain Gate appeared atop the ancient altar.

The nine dragon bones aimed to traverse the void, dragging the Ancient Coffin away, instantly draining the Earth Vein Dragon Qi and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from this place, even several Heaven Grade Spirit Stones were instantly drained of their inherent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Swish!

This unforeseen event caused Ye Fan’s expression to change drastically!

Ye Fan’s ability to overpower the Ancient Immortal was entirely reliant on the Heaven and Earth Dragon Veins and the attack secret technique of the Dragon Seeking Formulas.

Without the Heaven Grade Spirit Stones and Earth Vein Dragon Qi, he was definitely not the opponent of the Ancient Immortal, even if they were at the same realm level, he would struggle to defeat the other. After all, the Ancient Immortal was the Ancient Emperor’s child, with exceptionally strong Bloodline Power, nearly inheriting all of the Ancient Emperor’s legacy!
