Chapter 1649: Chapter 1519: Entering the Domain Gate

"You little bastard, without Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and Earth Vein Dragon Qi, what will you use to fight me?"

Not only did Ye Fan notice the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here was instantly drawn away, but Ancient Immortal also noticed it immediately.

As the true progeny of the Ancient Emperor, Ancient Immortal had pure bloodline, strong power, and high comprehension.

He knew very well that the reason he was previously oppressed and wildly abused by Ye Fan was entirely because Ye Fan used a secret technique to borrow Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and Dragon Vein for combat, greatly increasing his attack power.

At this moment, Ancient Immortal noticed the earth vein rising and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi suddenly being siphoned off. He stood up from the deep pit with a cold smile on his face.

Whoosh!

Upon finishing his words, Ancient Immortal struck, forming a fist seal, filled with intense anger, and punched toward Ye Fan.

Whiz!

Without Earth Vein Dragon Qi and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, Ye Fan knew he was not a match for Ancient Immortal. Seeing Ancient Immortal raise his fist to strike, he didn’t dare to fight head-on, instead using Chasing Star Step to instantly move away.

Boom!!

With a loud noise, Ancient Immortal unleashed a piercing punch ray, hitting the spot where Ye Fan stood earlier, creating a huge pit with shattering rocks, causing the entire abyss to seem to shake.

Whoosh!

Immediately, before Ancient Immortal could strike again, Ye Fan turned passive into active, releasing an Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, then once again using Chasing Star Step, transforming into a wisp of smoke to ascend the altar and directly sit on the coffin, preparing to leverage the ancient coffin to leave the place.

He initially wanted to take three men with him, but time was running out—if he didn’t escape using this attacking gap, there wouldn’t be another opportunity, and he would likely die here!

"Ye, where are you running?!"

After easily blocking Ye Fan’s attack, Ancient Immortal saw Ye Fan riding the ancient coffin entering the Domain Gate on the altar, immediately shouting and rushing over.

However—

It was already too late!

Whiz!

Accompanied by a breaking sound, Ye Fan sitting on the ancient coffin had entered the Domain Gate, and the Domain Gate immediately closed, completely disappearing in front of Ancient Immortal and several others.

"It’s over!"

The only surviving young cultivator’s legs weakened, causing him to collapse directly to the ground!

Originally, he thought to rely on Ye Fan’s masterful Dragon Seeking Skill to leave here, but now, Ye Fan left alone, cutting off the hope of escape.

"Ugh..."

Not only that cultivator, but even the three bandits were absolutely stunned.

Whether Ancient Immortal suddenly struck or Ye Fan suddenly escaped, it was all beyond their expectations and happened in such a short time that left them no time to react.

At this moment, Ye Fan’s departure meant leaving everyone in a desperate situation, and it was impossible to return the way they came—they simply couldn’t cross the Heaven and Earth Killing Array at the bottom of the abyss.

"Damn it!"

Ancient Immortal cursed softly, originally thinking he had Ye Fan secured, yet he didn’t expect Ye Fan dared to venture into unknown danger, riding the ancient coffin into the Domain Gate.

Whoosh!

After the curse, Ancient Immortal, still angry, instinctively cast his gaze toward the three bandits.

Hmm?

The three bandits instantly sensed it, unconsciously standing together, cautiously guarding against Ancient Immortal.

It’s certain that if Ancient Immortal struck, they would unite and fight to the end.

Seeing this scene, Ancient Immortal’s eyes flashed with brilliance but ultimately didn’t make a move.

It’s not that he lacked the confidence and strength to fight three, but he knew the three bandits had strong forces behind them, and if he killed them here, and news leaked from Ye Fan’s mouth later, the Nine Great Bandits and the Barbarian clan would definitely band together to attack the Gu Family.

By then, even if the Gu Family could resist the attack, they would likely have to pay a heavy price and lose the seat of the First Emperor Clan!

...

There’s no concept of time in the void.

Perhaps in an instant, or maybe ten thousand years, when Ye Fan once again appeared from the void, he had descended upon a primordial area, where nine dragon bones were pulling the ancient coffin to land on an even more ancient altar.

"Where is this?"

Ye Fan jumped down from the ancient coffin and found not far away the sound of wind through pine trees and streams murmuring, in the bitter cold Northern Domain, it was simply an Immortal Realm.

Ye Fan confusedly looked around, then ventured into the forest.

Bright moonlight shines through the pines, clear spring flows over stones, presenting a plain and serene beautiful scenery.

Yet, in such a beautiful place, Ye Fan had a foreboding feeling, wondering where exactly this place was? Northern Domain? Or Southern Domain? Or perhaps southern Eastern Domain?

Such a large altar, opening Domain Gates, traversing the void, the traversed distance should be very far, yet he had a foreboding feeling that he hadn’t left the Primordial Ancient Mine, but instead delved deeper.

This feeling sent shivers down his spine, if he truly was within the Forbidden Zone, his situation would be extremely perilous.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Ye Fan’s ears rang fiercely, feeling as if a giant hammer struck him, blood seeped from his ears and nose, and his body flew out like a scarecrow.

The sudden attack caused Ye Fan immense pain, and even his powerful Nine Heavens Profound Body Fifth Level nearly collapsed.

"Who?"

Ye Fan was shocked, he immediately summoned the Emperor Weapon, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, which hovered above his head, casting thousands of rays to protect him.

Ye Fan looked around, but the surroundings were silent.

"Buzz!"

The sound of breaking the void rang again, the attack struck once more, but this time Ye Fan wasn’t sent flying—the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown shielded him from this wave of assault, yet he failed to see clearly what exactly attacked him.

"What is it?"

Ye Fan grew vigilant, carefully searching the surroundings, but found nothing.

Soon, Ye Fan saw an octagonal pavilion in the middle of the pine forest, standing steadfastly through untold years.

Ye Fan happily walked towards it.

In his view, a pavilion signifies that someone must have been here, otherwise there would be no need to build such a structure.

This pavilion, full of ancient charm, was entirely built of stone, engraved with the frost and winds of time.

The four pillars were inscribed with numerous ancient texts, and Ye Fan was stunned just by looking at the first stone pillar.

"Saint perished, Emperor died, Quasi-Emperor fallen..."

Ye Fan was taken aback. This place indeed was unimaginably eerie!

He carefully examined the records and shockingly found that the ones who left such accounts were none other than the first generation Earth Master, this was his journal!

The legend goes that the Emperor of the Central Domain died in the Primordial Ancient Mine, but he wasn’t the only strong person; there were four other Saints and an Eastern Domain Venerable, all died in the Primordial Ancient Mine.

"Thus, my feeling was right; this is not outside the Primordial Ancient Mine, but rather deep within the mining area..." Ye Fan’s mouth tasted a bit bitter.

This was the first generation Earth Master’s journal, documented clearly; identified identities from those people’s relics and engraved these words.

This pavilion stood about three meters tall, with the ground covered in pine needles, secluded among trees, bathed in moonlight, it appeared serene and elegant, with densely engraved ancient texts on the four stone pillars.

The Emperor, Saint, and the Eastern Domain Venerable, all entered this mysterious land in the twilight of their lives, their cultivation terrifying, yet still perished here.

Ye Fan looked at the first stone pillar for a long time, only able to sigh; no matter how peerless a figure, they couldn’t withstand the passage of time, these people came here to prolong life but ultimately failed.

On other stone pillars, Ye Fan surprisingly discovered one stone pillar recording the Earth Master’s legacy; many belonged to their line, but true transmission from the first to him totaled merely seven generations, and he was the seventh!

For this, Ye Fan felt amused and helpless; he had snatched a Dragon Seeking Formulas, unexpectedly establishing a connection with the Earth Master, becoming a successor.

Upon reflection, it was indeed the case; regardless of how he acquired the book, one thing was certain—he learned the Dragon Seeking Skill, inheriting some legacy, being part of the Earth Master’s line wasn’t wrong.

Thinking now, Ye Fan felt that he received plenty of inheritances already, besides his ancestors’, from the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor, he also obtained Thunder Venerable’s legacy.

By now, he understood that though Thunder Venerable bore the title, his actual combat power steadily suppressed Quasi-Emperor Ninth Layer Heaven’s strong people, barely a line away from successfully Proving Dao.

However—

Thunder Venerable’s chosen path to Proving Dao was too heaven-defying, acting on behalf of the heavens to execute Heavenly Punishment, which was intolerable by the Heavenly Dao.

Soon after, Ye Fan obtained a profound Dragon Seeking Skill journal from another two stone pillars, left behind by the first generation Earth Master in the last moments of his life.

The words on these two stone pillars were small and densely packed, deeply engraved, embedded three inches into the pillars, as if fearing their erosion.

Throughout the first generation Earth Master’s life, he journeyed through countless perilous grounds, many of which exceeded the realm of Dragon Seeking Formulas, mostly unsolvable.

With his learned Dragon Seeking Skill, he couldn’t overcome them, entirely relying on his innovative flashes of inspiration, to break through those deadly grounds, surviving into his old age.

Beside documenting the profound Dragon Seeking Supplement there, these texts were his final insights before death, regarded as the Earth Master’s line’s last contribution.

However, the place was extremely difficult to find; even if ordinary Earth Masters approached nearby, they wouldn’t dare enter, being a deadly ground, Venerables came never to return.

For miners, these records were more precious than any Cultivation Technique, martial arts, secret technique, or divine skills, countless Spirit Stone couldn’t exchange for these rare books.

Only six Earth Masters emerged since ancient times, this being the first generation ancestor’s lifelong essence’s sublimation, invaluable beyond measure.

Ye Fan read word by word, silently imprinting them on his Divine Soul, afraid of missing a single character.

The text was profoundly deep, obscure and difficult, various divine arts, unheard of, near Dao; Ye Fan couldn’t comprehend them, only able to memorize first, to slowly comprehend in the future.

Once all words were imprinted on his Divine Soul, Ye Fan waved his sleeve, stone chips scattered, this Dragon Seeking Skill journal henceforth vanished.

Hmm?

Soon after, as Ye Fan prepared to rise and leave, he suddenly saw a figure standing not far away, silently watching him, eyes shining with eerie green light, like ghost fire.

"Who?"

Ye Fan was startled, unaware someone approached so closely, the stranger’s strength was absolutely terrifying.

Indeed, had the person attacked earlier, he would undoubtedly be a corpse!
