Before the Archaic Era, the northern region was full of vitality. Lush greenery was everywhere, and the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was so dense that it could not be dispersed. It crystallized and transformed into an Origin. There were countless spirit herbs and godly medicines.
Now, however, the flowers were gone, and the vegetation was withered. The land was desolate. The red soil and the reddish-brown rocks made it look desolate.
Even though there were many oases, they were insignificant compared to the scarlet land. They were like scattered islands in the middle of a vast ocean.
This also showed that the Northern Region was vast and boundless, because there were countless oases, many of them spanning thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers.
Between the Kun Prefecture and the An Prefecture was a vast desert. It was scarlet and stretched as far as the eye could see.
Ye Fan carried the God Striking Whip on his back as he walked alone on this reddish-brown land. He had already learned that one of the top ten Light Shaking Realm cultivators of the younger generation might pass by this place.
Tu Fei had gone to the An Prefecture, and the large black dog had stayed in the Kun Prefecture to help him search for the top ten Light Shaking Realm cultivators.
The boundless scarlet land was exceptionally desolate and cold. As far as the eye could see, there was almost nothing. It was empty and deathly silent.
The only scenery was probably a few towering red rocks. On this boundless scarlet land, they did not attract too much attention.
This was a kind of monotonous emptiness. There were no other colors or scenery. There was only ancient, withered land.
Ye Fan did not walk very quickly, but his steps were firm. With each step, he left a footprint on his back. With the God Striking Whip on his back, he entered the depths of the scarlet land.
Suddenly, he stopped and stood there silently. He gazed at the end of the land. On the horizon, a small black dot was quickly approaching.
"He's here." A cold smile appeared on Ye Fan's face. His first battle was about to begin. This time, he had made up his mind to fight!
At the end of the horizon, the small black dot was extremely fast. Gradually, he could see that it was a sturdy figure. His feet did not touch the ground, and his shoulders did not move. He was three inches above the ground as he stepped through the air.
In the blink of an eye, the person had already closed in. His figure and appearance were clearly visible. His steps were not fast, but they were extremely fast.
With every step he took, he seemed to disappear from his original spot and quickly reappeared in front of him. He actually had the profound meaning of shrinking the ground into inches. This person was definitely not simple.
This was a twenty-one or twenty-two year old man. He wasn't very tall, but he was very sturdy. His skin was bronze in color, and he gave off a powerful feeling.
His long hair was jet-black, and his eyes were spirited. He was very sharp, giving off an oppressive feeling, and even a bit invasive. One look and one could tell that he was a very strong person, as if he wanted to control everything in his hands.
His skin was the color of wheat, and he looked very valiant. His body seemed to be cast from copper, and his every movement made people feel that he was brave and powerful.
"Whoosh!"
The newcomer suddenly stopped in his tracks. He was three feet above the ground and stood in front of Ye Fan, sizing him up. Two terrifying beams of light shot out from his eyes, like two sharp swords.
"It's you … Ye Fan!"
He spat out these four words, resounding and forceful, as if a golden bell was ringing, making everyone's eardrums tremble, the scarlet earth tremble.
"That's right, it's me." Ye Fan stood on the ground and stared at the valiant man in front of him. This person was indeed not ordinary, and even Ye Fan felt a bit of pressure.
The man stared intently at Ye Fan and said, "I was looking for you, and I didn't expect you to appear. Were you waiting for me?"
"That's right, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Today, I'll be the first to send you on your way!" Ye Fan's reply was very straightforward.
"Hahaha …" The powerful man laughed loudly. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and a chill appeared on his bronze skin. He said, "Now, everyone in the Northern Region is looking for you, and you still dare to act like this? You can wear out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find what you're looking for without even looking. You've saved me the trouble of searching everywhere. "
"Let's register. After all, you're the first opponent I've met today," Ye Fan said calmly.
"Gu Litian!" The valiant man announced his name.
"The top ten experts taught by the hidden elder. Let me see what's so special about you. Don't be smashed to pieces by my fist." Ye Fan walked forward.
"You know quite a lot, and you talk quite a lot. Unfortunately, this is no longer the Primordial Era. Your physique was born in the wrong era. " Gu Litian landed on the ground and pressed forward step by step. He said, "The top ten experts were all mobilized for you, but I found you first. This is the will of the heavens!"
"The will of the heavens, do you think I'm a piece of meat on the chopping block?" Ye Fan laughed.
"You have the Sacred Body of the Ancients and are known to be invincible among your peers. Everyone knows that, but do you think the top ten experts are here to die?" Gu Litian mocked and laughed coldly. "In this world, there is no shortage of talented people. The Sacred Body of the Ancients is no longer favored by the heavens, and there will always be other physiques born. Even in terms of physical strength, you won't necessarily be the best!"
"Suppressing my physique, is it? Let me see how it goes!" Ye Fan walked forward in large strides.
Gu Litian did the same. He was not afraid of Ye Fan's extraordinary physique at all. It was obvious that he wanted to fight in close combat.
However, in the process of pressing forward, an immortal glow shone between his brows. A piece of purple Starry Divine Metal appeared, protecting his frontal bone and between his brows.
Ye Fan was speechless at the sight of this. His powerful divine sense seemed to be useless now.
Indeed, his divine sense was as vast as the sea and could kill powerful enemies with brute force. It had long been known to the Northern Region, and all the younger generation knew that one needed to protect their sea of consciousness first when fighting him.
Gu Litian turned into a copper bolt of lightning and rushed over in five steps. He was indeed arrogant, daring to fight the Sacred Body of the Ancients in close combat.
"I'll borrow your head. I'll bring it back to the sacred ground and offer it to my master," he said softly. His copper skin sparkled and was actually surrounded by dragon qi.
Voom!
Gu Litian threw a punch. It was as if there was an earthquake, and the ground beneath his feet shook violently. His arm was like a dragon, strong and powerful.
Bam!
Ye Fan waved his golden fist and met the attack. When their fists and fingers collided, there was a loud sound like thunder.
Level Five of the Holy Zhi Palace!
Gu Litian had perfected the Palace, and his combat strength was astonishing. He could destroy those at the first level of the Secret Realm of the Four Extremes. It was indeed as Vivian had said.
"Boom!" Gu Litian was sent flying with a look of shock. He said, "You've broken through again. You're at Level Four. How did you get 50,000 kilograms of Source?"
He was full of disbelief. It was no surprise, as 30 kilograms was an astonishing number. How could a lone cultivator collect all of it?
Ye Fan did not move at all. His body could definitely look down on the Holy Zhi Palace and the Four Extremes. In terms of pure physical strength, few in the same generation could compare.
However, he did not let his guard down. Gu Litian was not ordinary, and he gave off a dangerous aura that was not inferior to the cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
Suddenly, the roar of a dragon was heard. The red ground shook, and Gu Litian's body shone brightly.
Purple mist seeped out of his body, and his body underwent a drastic change. Purple scales grew on the surface of his body, and purple light shone around him. Even his face was the same.
"A demon?!" Ye Fan was shocked.
Gu Litian did not answer. He turned into a beam of purple light and rushed over. He was filled with a dangerous aura. His body was extremely strong, and explosive power flowed within it.
Bam!
The moment he rushed over, he clashed with Ye Fan. Clanging sounds could be heard, and the two fists were like four divine hammers clashing together.
Ye Fan was indeed surprised. Gu Litian's physical strength had increased by a lot, and he was actually able to block his golden fists.
However, Ye Fan was not worried. He shouted and raised his battle strength completely. His body shone with golden light, and he looked like an ancient god of war.
Boom!
At that moment, he threw a punch, and Gu Litian, who was covered in dragon scales, was at a disadvantage again. He was completely suppressed, and then he turned into a bolt of purple lightning and flew backward.
"The Sacred Body of the Ancients is indeed extraordinary. I've been refining my body with the blood of dragons since I was young, and even after 20 years, I still can't compare to your physique," Gu Litian said in a low voice.
His master was very powerful, and he had tamed eight dragons to protect the mountain. Since he was young, Gu Litian would spend six hours a day refining his body with the blood of dragons.
Furthermore, he would spend four hours sitting in a medicinal furnace, and his master would use all sorts of medicinal liquids to strengthen his body. As such, his physical body had reached a shocking level.
Even so, he was still no match for the Sacred Body of the Ancients. He paled in comparison when it came to close combat.
"No wonder he could fight against the Four Extremes in the Holy Zhi Palace. So that's how it is!" Even Ye Fan was a little envious. To refine one's body like that, one would need a lot of medicinal herbs and a lot of dragon blood. It was only because this was a sacred ground, or else no one would be able to afford it.
"Let me see the divine technique of Alkaid, or else I'm afraid you won't get the chance to use it," Ye Fan said.
"Very few of the disciples taught by the Secluded Elders practice the orthodox secret technique of Alkaid." Gu Litian's physical body changed again, and he said, "You've already entered the Fourth Heaven of the Holy Zhi Palace. That's beyond my expectations, but that's nothing. I just need to take your head."
"Anyone can talk big, but you are far from being able to compete with me in terms of physical body!" Ye Fan sneered coldly.
Gu Litian shook his head and shouted, "I've only cultivated my physical body. How can I stop here? Hand me your head!"
He opened his mouth and swallowed a purple orb. His entire body looked ferocious in an instant, and his joints crackled like beans being fried. An extremely terrifying aura emanated from him.
Ye Fan was shocked and raised his hand to unleash a Palm of the Void. He activated the Battle Saint Technique, and the palm turned from black to gold.
Voom!
The palm stretched across the sky like a golden cloud. It was so heavy that it was suffocating, and the crimson ground cracked right away.
Boom!
However, at that moment, the aura emanating from Gu Litian became even stronger. Purple light shot into the sky, and dragon scales flickered. He seemed to have turned into a purple dragon.
He moved away like a bolt of purple lightning. His physical body seemed to be burning with purple flames, and his physical strength and combat ability increased several times over.
Gu Litian consumed a dragon's orb. Of course, it was not a whole orb, but a piece, but it was still enough to frighten people.
At that moment, apart from the lack of a tail and horns, he really looked no different from a dragon. The scales on his body became even thicker, and the purple light was blinding.
Furthermore, his hands had almost turned into dragon claws, and his nails were half a foot long. They glowed with a cold light.
This was a purple dragon in human form!
