couldn't compare to a seasoned expert like himself.He tightly gripped the katana in his hand, calmly and decisively unleashing its full potential.At this moment, countless blades surrounded him, and t...Ye Bufan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to cultivate the next stage of the Dark Lineage.

But one thing can be certain, they must have their own cultivation method. Otherwise, the former Heavenly Devouring Demon Emperor wouldn't have been weaker than the Profound Extreme Emperor, which was a being above the Fifth Rank Saint Emperor.

It seems I know too little about the Holy Emperor. When I have the chance, I'll ask the Sword Emperor Qin Fei for advice and find the answer. That way, I can also point Ye Tian and Si Tu Mo in the right direction.

The most urgent thing is to improve my own strength. I calculated that there are still about six hours before the alchemy competition tomorrow.

You can still go out and cross the tribulation. As long as you reach the Immortal Emperor realm and form your own domain, your combat power will inevitably increase significantly. When encountering a Saint Emperor, you should also have the strength to fight.

Having thought this through, he left the Dragon King's Palace and brought Erlang out with him, instructing him to impersonate himself within his chambers.

Then, he changed his appearance and disguised himself as a middle-aged man. He quietly left Tiansheng City and galloped northward.

Everything was done quietly and stealthily. He moved cautiously, checking several times to make sure he wasn't being followed.

Then, he pushed his speed to the limit. After about an hour, he reached millions of miles away.

This place is far enough from Tiansheng City; even if the sound of the extinction thunder tribulation were to be made, it shouldn't be discovered by people from the five major sects.

He stopped in his tracks, just as he was looking for a suitable place to cross the tribulation, when suddenly a boisterous laugh rang out.

"Hahaha, you little brat with the surname Ye, heaven has a path but you won't walk it, hell has no door but you barge in. It seems you are destined to die, nobody can save you."

As soon as the words left his lips, a figure shot towards them like lightning. It was none other than Yin Tong.

Compared to his previous down-and-out state, he now seems like a different person entirely. His chin is held high, and his face wears an air of arrogant pride.

He glared at Ye Bufan menacingly, his killing intent palpable. “If you were hiding inside Tiansheng City, I wouldn’t be able to touch you. But you just had to come out and seek death yourself. Today, no one can save you.”

Ye Bufan was somewhat surprised. His disguise technique was so good that even a Saint Emperor couldn't see through it, how could this guy see through his identity

Having been branded with divine consciousness imprints several times, he's now extremely cautious. Before going out, he even checked carefully to make sure there were no marks on him.

He could tell from the other person's expression that they weren't bluffing, their look was very determined. This only made him even more curious.

He asked, "How did you recognize me"

"Didn't expect this You've been under my control all along."

Yin Tong finished speaking, and with a grab of his hand, a small black bug suddenly flew out from the void and landed in his palm.

It was clearly him controlling the other person's whereabouts through this thing.

Ye Bufan raised an eyebrow. He was now equivalent to the strength of a celestial emperor at his peak, and this bug could actually keep up with him. Just based on its speed, it was extremely extraordinary.

"What are you following me for Wasn't the previous lesson enough"

Although his identity was exposed, Ye Bufan didn't take Yin Tong, a small fry like him, seriously at all.

"It was you who forced me to kneel publicly, stripping me of all dignity. It was you who stole my woman away from me. It was you who destroyed everything I had. I hate you with every fiber of my being and wish nothing more than to skin you alive and eat your flesh."

Yin Tong glared with a ferocious expression, "I must avenge this."

"Revenge, do you have the ability"

Ye Bufan said, "You came here to cause trouble for me, aren't you afraid the headmaster will punish you"

He was indeed puzzled. Logically speaking, Hu Zhixuan's apology last time seemed sincere and he shouldn't dare to cause him trouble.

"You mean that old geezer He's my puppet now!"

Yin Tong burst into a fit of unrestrained laughter, his laughter arrogant and haughty. He then waved his hand, and a figure appeared before him - it was Hu Zhixuan, the headmaster of Bai Cao Men.

However, compared to before, he was completely lifeless, his eyes dull and lifeless. But the imposing aura of an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse still lingered on him, clearly indicating that he had been transformed into a puppet.

"You... you actually killed your own master And you even refined a puppet"

Ye Bufan was still shocked by this guy's ruthlessness.

"Yes, I killed him!"

As the sect master, he couldn't protect me and even made me kneel before you all in public. Such a person deserves to die, why would I keep him

"Cut the crap, I do what I want, it's none of your business."

"Yin Tong shouted, "I hear you got a lot of good stuff in the Xian Pa Ling Jing, including Chaos Qi. Hand it over to me right now!"

Ye Bufan glanced at him: "You're so arrogant, you must have some backing. Let me see what your confidence is based on"

Before, Hu Zhixuan's strength wasn't very strong, but he was still at the late stage of the Immortal Emperor. Now, he has been killed by Yin Tong and refined into a puppet.

It's clear this guy has his own cards up his sleeve, maybe even some recent good fortune. That's why he hasn't made a move yet.

"You're right, because of your relationship with Xia Qingying, I had to avoid meeting you in the Xianpa Lingjing. I hid far away and always sought out secluded corners."

Thankfully, although I didn't find many Xian Lingcao plants, I unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of an ancient worm demon through a stroke of luck.

After I left, it wasn't because I was afraid of you. I was in a hurry to find a place to consolidate my cultivation.

Now that I've obtained half the power of an ancient bug demon, old Hu Zhixuan was drained of his brain marrow by my Devouring Soul Worm and became my puppet.

Here, In Tong extended a hand, and a blood-red beetle appeared in his palm.

This thing is only the size of an adult's fingernail, with two tiny eyes like grains of rice, yet they radiate a captivating glow.

"Kid, you might not understand, my pet ranks sixth on the Demon Worm List. Even an Immortal Emperor wouldn't be able to withstand it."

"The sensible one will hand over the primordial chaotic energy, then kneel and kowtow to me a thousand times. If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life. Otherwise, Hu Zixuan will be your fate."

Ye Bufan now understood why the head of Bai Cao Men had fallen victim to this person. It turned out that he had such a bug in his hand.

If it were another treasure, or even a fairy beast, he might fear it, but when facing the ancient demonic worm, he showed no fear whatsoever.

Little Dot is the offspring of the first demon worm and the dragon clan. No matter how powerful a Devourer Worm is in front of others, it can only be cannon fodder when facing him.

Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and his figure vanished from its spot instantly. He reappeared dozens of feet away.

And where he had stood, a golden spear shone brilliantly, piercing through the remaining phantom. It was none other than the Heaven-Changing Golden Spear.

The Profound Extreme Emperor retracted his spear and looked towards Ye Bufan with a brilliant smile, as if meeting an old friend, as if the one who had just delivered the killing blow wasn't him.

"Not bad, your vigilance is really high. You can't even be killed like this!"nte, Meng Qinghe immediately saw Feng Xingkong's predicament and stepped forward to say, "Dean sir, since there is still some time until the competition, why not just leave this spot for him"Perhaps h...
