Chapter 1661: Chapter 1530: Relentless Pursuit

Indeed, the Dragon Seeking Skill is a supreme strange technique. If fully comprehended and cultivated to the utmost, it is no less than the secret techniques founded by a Great Emperor.

Ye Fan utilized a forbidden secret technique, directly causing the Earth Vein Dragon to turn over, breaking all the confinements, and escaped the encirclement with Bai Yan wolf, fleeing swiftly all the way.

"Chase!"

Gu Xiao’s face turned dark as he brought along his family’s replica of the Imperial Weapon and was the first to pursue.

Li Tianfeng, Zhou Zhaolong, Liang Boyao, You Yunxiao, and others also exerted their fastest speed to chase after.

However—

Their speed simply could not compare to Ye Fan’s Chasing Star Step, which is called the fastest speed under heaven for a reason.

In the world, no speed can surpass the Chasing Star Step. Even if Ye Fan can’t fully unleash the speed of the Chasing Star Step yet, it’s still beyond their reach.

"Ye, you cannot escape! There is a grand formation set within a hundred miles radius; you cannot traverse the void!" a cold voice came from behind, from a strong elder-level force of the Liang Family.

Elder-level strong people from the Li Family, Liang Family, Zhou Family, Gu Family, and Youyun Family all arrived, relentlessly pursing, aiming to slay Ye Fan here.

Their speed is very fast, and Ye Fan hasn’t fully comprehended the Chasing Star Step, unable to unleash its fastest speed under heaven, causing their distance to inch closer.

At this rate, it won’t be long before he’s caught, Ye Fan is already fleeing desperately, only focusing on escaping quickly, without even discerning his direction.

"Swish!"

Ye Fan, like a streak of lightning, instantly spanned dozens of miles, in the blink of an eye losing sight of Li Tianfeng and the others, this is the fastest speed under heaven once the Chasing Star Step is activated.

However—

Several elder-level middle-aged strong people’s divine power is profound and, even without the fastest speed of the Chasing Star Step, their speed is equally full. Every family has its own step technique; it’s not as fast as the Chasing Star Step, but when fully exerted, the speed is still very fast.

"Buzz~"

Ahead, the clouds surging, lead clouds like ink, very peculiar, void like a swamp, any divine power struck in will be swallowed quickly.

"Array Patterns!"

Ye Fan immediately recognized that dense array patterns filled this place, cutting off the path ahead. Once trapped, the speed will slow down rapidly, and eventually, he’ll be caught up.

"Am I really destined to die here?"

Ye Fan was nearly hopeless; Bai Yan wolf had used forbidden means, risking its life to buy him this sliver of chance; he did not want to die here.

At this moment, the silent Elder Xuan suddenly spoke: "Chasing Star Step, the fastest speed under heaven, should be able to traverse the array patterns unaffected, as the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor once said, you might want to try."

"Trying to leave? It’s not that easy, stay here!"

Just then, a chilling voice came from within the cloud.

"I am truly amazed; under the siege of so many young strong individuals, you’re still able to escape here, simply unbelievable." A voice sounded within the cloud, full of disbelief.

"Haha... Ye boy, surrender; this is the Zhou Family’s strongest array pattern; you cannot escape."

A Zhou Family elder-level middle-aged strong person laughed wildly and slashed a blade towards Ye Fan’s back.

At this time, they were still several hundred meters apart, but the blazing sword light broke through the spatial constraints, reaching Ye Fan’s back in the blink of an eye.

Feeling the sharp killing intent, Ye Fan grimaced and without hesitation punched backward, dispersing the sword light, then gritted his teeth and charged into the array patterns.

At present, there’s no other option; he can only try his luck, if he can rush through it’s best, if not, he must resign to fate, or use the Imperial Weapon to kill them all.

However, if he uses the Imperial Weapon now, the elder-level strong person from the Gu Family will undoubtedly activate their Imperial Weapon too, and once two Imperial Weapons collide, the Artifact Spirit of the Gu Family’s Imperial Weapon will awaken, Elder Xuan will be unable to protect him, and it still means a dead end.

"This is probably a remnant formation!"

Ye Fan’s eyes flared brightly, observing carefully. Although not proficient in various array patterns, having been with Bai Yan wolf for so long, he had gained some insight through close association.

Several hundred meters of distance for those elder-level strong individuals is really nothing, with just a blink, they’re there; Ye Fan dared not delay a moment, compelled to brave a desperate gamble.

"Swish!"

Ye Fan did not pause, directly transforming into a wisp of light smoke, entering the array patterns.

"Entering this formation, as if trapped in a swamp, waiting to die!" a person in charge of guarding the formation said sinisterly at this position.

Hmm?

The next moment, his face showed a ghost-like expression!

Because Ye Fan remained completely unaffected, swiftly traversing like an electric light, navigating the fog as if unchallenged.

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

Several elder-level middle-aged strong people behind had their mouths agape, watching in disbelief as Ye Fan quickly traversed the grand formation, the powerful ancient formation unable to stop his steps.

"Ho... how is this?" the person guarding the formation activated all the array patterns, yet still achieved no effect.

In the ancient formation, the killing light charged to the sky, beams of light resembling rainbows, but these are deadly beams, each capable of penetrating a person upon impact.

However, Ye Fan moved as if on flat ground, completely unaffected, traversing through the killing light which seemed to deliberately avoid him.

Ye Fan was overjoyed. He had obtained the Chasing Star Step some time ago, and during these days, when he had nothing to do, he would comprehend the various mysteries within it. Although he had only grasped about ten to twenty percent, his speed was already invincible among his generation.

Trying for the first time to forcibly break through the ancient formation using the Chasing Star Step, he succeeded without any hindrance, charging all the way through, which filled his heart with immense joy and deepened his understanding of the Chasing Star Step further.

The Chasing Star Step truly lives up to its reputation as the fastest in the world. According to records, if one can cultivate it to the extreme, they could pluck stars and catch the moon, traversing through the vast universe.

Of course, he was still far from that right now, but the initial success made him very excited.

This was also thanks to the fact that the ancient formation was a remnant formation and not complete; otherwise, with his current middling proficiency, entering it would certainly result in being trapped and killed by the ancient formation, making it impossible to make it through.

"If I can thoroughly comprehend this secret technique, is there anywhere in the world I cannot go?" Ye Fan sighed deeply.

When the Chasing Star Step is cultivated to its extreme, even within a killing array, one can move as if on even ground, from the Nine Heavens above to the Nine Netherworld below, unstoppable by anyone, impervious to Supreme Divine Power, and not restrained by Innate Killing Arrays.

"Whoosh!!"

Suddenly, a man dressed in black burst out from the mist, a strong individual at the Peak of Divine Power Realm, wielding a Fangtian Halberd, slashing directly at Ye Fan.

Swoosh!

Ye Fan did not retreat. Although today’s battle had severely damaged his primordial core, nearly causing his realm to fall, a cultivator at the Peak of Divine Power Realm was not someone he regarded as a threat. He directly swung his purple-golden fist to smash forward.

"Clang!"

The spiritual treasure of the Peak Divine Power Realm, the Fangtian Halberd, was no match, shattering like rotten wood, with a single punch from Ye Fan turning it into dust, falling from the sky, with its Essence Qi thoroughly dispersed.

"Ah..."

The strong individual at the Peak Divine Power Realm let out a miserable scream, shattered by Ye Fan’s punch, with blood rain splattering. Ye Fan passed through the torrent of blood and flesh without any hindrance, charging straight through.

An instant kill!

If it weren’t within the ancient formation, that person wouldn’t have dared confront Ye Fan.

Even in death, he didn’t understand how Ye Fan could move as if on flat ground within the killing array, and why, after such an intense battle, he still possessed such terrifying combat power?

All of these questions could only follow him to Hell, as his divine soul was erased by Ye Fan, making even the notion of taking over for rebirth impossible.

Soon, Ye Fan charged out of the ancient formation, once again seeing the light of day, but terrifying fluctuations echoed from behind, with several elder-level middle-aged strong individuals pursuing closely.

This was a killing array arranged by them, naturally not targeting them. Ye Fan had already been locked onto by their aura, and unless the distance was too great, they would catch up.

"Ye Fan, where will you escape this time?"

The middle-aged strong individual from the Gu Family wore a grim expression, wishing to strike Ye Fan dead on the spot.

The events at the Jiu Long Nest were already known to him. Ye Fan used Earth Vein Dragon Qi to give their Emperor’s son a fierce thrashing, something intolerable to them.

They must wash away their shame with Ye Fan’s life and blood!

"You old geezers, isn’t there a rule in the Cultivation World? The younger generation contends for dominance, and the older generation must not intervene. Aren’t you afraid of being denounced by the entire Cultivation World?" Ye Fan questioned as he fled rapidly.

"You brat, we aren’t considered the older generation. Besides, once you’re dead, who will know it was us? Just accept your fate!" the middle-aged strong individual from the Gu Family gritted his teeth.

"Ye, you’re dead meat!" Two middle-aged strong individuals from the Zhou and Li Families also yelled, attempting to distract Ye Fan and slow down his speed.

Even after the chase, they were particularly shocked, as Ye Fan seemed like a monster, having fought for so long when an ordinary person’s divine power would have long been exhausted, yet he seemed perfectly fine.

"Since you all want to eat dust behind me, then follow along!"

Ye Fan gritted his teeth, deciding to exhaust his primordial core if necessary to quickly shake them off; otherwise, he would eventually be caught, which would mean certain death for him.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan accelerated again, his divine power boiling, with all 360 acupoints’ holy embryos roaring together, continuously supplying him with divine power.

With each cultivation session, Ye Fan must refine a large amount of Spirit Stones, and the massive Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is transformed into divine power, which, apart from refining his body, is all stored as divine power within the divine fetal forms in the 360 acupoints.

Though there are disadvantages, there are also benefits: although each of Ye Fan’s advancements is extremely difficult, consuming an astonishing amount of Spirit Stones, his divine power is far more robust than that of ordinary cultivators.

In the distance, several elder-level middle-aged strong individuals burned with anger, each igniting their divine power, appearing like human-shaped torches, making half the sky a crimson red, chasing down with endless brilliance.

Ye Fan keenly sensed the boundless Blood Qi from behind, surging like an ocean, overwhelming everything, as those middle-aged strong individuals’ speed increased yet another notch.

"Burning their divine power, they truly regard me highly!" Ye Fan cursed, deeply frustrated at encountering such opponents.

"Think you’re the only ones who can burn divine power? Old man, I’ll fight you with all I’ve got, let’s see whose speed prevails!" Ye Fan gritted his teeth, directly igniting his divine power and Divine Soul Power.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan’s entire body seemed to ignite, with human-shaped creatures and Divine Race strong individuals’ phantoms suddenly appearing beside him, while his speed increased dramatically.

"Swish!"

He shot forth like a beam of light, disappearing in an instant, moving at an incredible speed, completely untraceable.
