Along the way, he encountered dozens of waves of demonic beasts.
At first, he was somewhat worried.
But seeing that all the demonic beasts ran past him, Ye Fan completely let himself go!
Because in a sense, he was temporarily invincible!
Since Ye Fan could not fly, he had been traveling on foot all along.
Walking for a whole night felt too slow, so he simply broke into a run.
This run surprised Ye Fan himself!
It was too fast!
His speed was no less than that of a cultivator at the peak of Nascent Soul flying!
Apart from his altitude, he was now no different from a flying cultivator!
This discovery made Ye Fan extremely happy!
Even though he couldn't fly, he was certainly not slow when chasing people!
After running a long distance in one go, Ye Fan stopped.
The matter of speed gave him an idea.
Speaking of which, ever since his breakthrough, he hadn't officially and comprehensively tested his strength.
Before, he had only tested the power of his punches, and other aspects had not been thoroughly examined.
So Ye Fan looked up at the sky.
He crouched slightly, with one foot forward and the other back.
Accumulating strength, he exploded instantly!
"WHOOSH—!"
Ye Fan's body turned into an arrow shot from a bow, and he shot up into the air.
The speed was not any slower than when he was running!
With this leap, he flew extremely high!
Ye Fan instinctively looked down.
The towering ancient trees below had become very small.
Through the gaps, he could still vaguely see the traces of demonic beasts running.
And...
The lights of various spells and the sounds of explosions!
Almost every short distance, there was a battlefield!
As his body rose, all of this became smaller and smaller.
Ye Fan roughly estimated that he was now about a thousand zhang above the ground.
At such a height, the demonic beast forest under his feet still seemed endless...
After his body reached its highest point, Ye Fan rapidly descended.
A few breaths later.
"BANG—!"
Ye Fan crashed heavily onto the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The ground beneath his feet was even pounded into a pit more than half a foot deep!
Ye Fan moved his limbs.
The fall had not caused him any discomfort.
It was as if he were back to his mortal body, just casually taking a couple of steps.
This feeling...
Was incredibly good!
Ye Fan squinted ahead and once again crouched down.
"WHOOSH—!"
Instantly, Ye Fan transformed into a leaping spirit.
His figure flashed continuously through the forest, rapidly approaching the depths.
Along the way, he also encountered many cultivators fighting demonic beasts.
However, those people were all too busy fighting to pay attention to Ye Fan.
Three days later.
Ye Fan finally stopped.
The battlefield was not far ahead, and the fight was raging!
Ye Fan even saw a familiar figure.
Ancestor Yad!
At this moment, Ancestor Yad was floating in mid-air, fighting a giant beast more than ten zhang tall.
However, the giant beast was clearly no match for the Ancestor, and was dealt with in a few moves.
After dealing with the giant beast, Ancestor Yad looked this way.
It was obvious that he had already sensed someone nearby.
But upon discovering it was Ye Fan, his expression was clearly surprised.
Ye Fan darted a few times and approached.
Besides Ancestor Yad, most of the sect leaders and elders he had met at the banquet were also here.
Ye Fan's sudden appearance clearly surprised them as well.
After all, the beast tide was an internal matter of their Yad Empire, so why would Ye Fan, an outsider, get involved?
Moreover, Ye Fan's cultivation level...
How had he managed to arrive here alive?
In comparison.
Ye Fan's cultivation level changing from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core was no longer that important...
After all, a Golden Core stage cultivator would have been torn to shreds by the crazed demonic beasts along the way!
However, given the current situation, no one was gossipy enough to inquire further.
Because this beast tide was clearly not right!
When they first arrived, they thought they would deal with demonic beasts at the late or peak stage of Nascent Soul, as usual.
At first, it was indeed so.
But just now, a demonic beast at the early stage of Spirit Severing had appeared!
A demonic beast at the early stage of Spirit Severing was, to them, cultivators at the peak of Nascent Soul, a despairing existence!
When everyone thought they were going to die, Ancestor Yad stepped forward!
Although cultivators of the same level were no match for the demonic beast, do not forget that Ancestor Yad still had the Flaming Sword that Ye Fan had auctioned!
With a divine weapon, dealing with the demonic beast was naturally like cutting through melons and vegetables.
The crowd felt a complex mix of emotions.
They were worried that Ancestor Yad had secretly broken through to the Spirit Severing realm.
Combined with a divine weapon like the Flaming Sword, they would forever be trampled underfoot by the imperial family!
They were relieved that Ancestor Yad's breakthrough had allowed them to survive.
Otherwise, this abnormal beast tide would probably have completely wiped out the existence of the Yad Empire!
"Senior, why have you come?" Ancestor Yad walked up to Ye Fan and asked in a low voice.
Although his voice was not loud, everyone present heard it clearly.
Hiss!
An Ancestor at the Spirit Severing realm called this Ye Fan senior?
No wonder he could reach here safely; he was an old monster who had hidden his cultivation!
The imagination, as always, was that simple...
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Ye Fan immediately asked, "What is the current situation?"
"This beast tide is very abnormal!"
Ancestor Yad immediately recounted what had happened earlier.
After listening, Ye Fan couldn't help but frown.
It seemed that not only had the beast tide started earlier than before, but the demonic beasts appearing were also getting stronger...
His intuition told him that this early stage Spirit Severing demonic beast was just the beginning!
Thinking of this, Ye Fan's mind couldn't help but recall the scene he saw in the illusion.
Those groups of zombie-like monsters.
That mountain peak shrouded in dark purple clouds...
And after arriving here, the feeling of being summoned in Ye Fan's heart became even stronger!
The direction from which the summoning came was not far ahead!
"Senior, do you know something?"
After asking this question, Ancestor Yad himself was taken aback.
Putting aside Ye Fan's strength, he had never been to the Yad Empire before.
How could such a person know about their situation?
To his surprise, Ye Fan did answer.
"Not sure yet." Ye Fan pointed in one direction, "But over there... we should find the answers we are looking for."
Everyone looked at Ancestor Yad in unison.
The implication was clear.
You are the boss here, you decide.
Ancestor Yad nodded heavily.
Thus, the group flew in the direction Ye Fan pointed.
An awkward situation arose.
Ye Fan, being unable to fly, could only jump.
But his full speed was only at the Nascent Soul realm, clearly unable to keep up with these people.
The group exchanged glances and simply landed.
Each of them imitated Ye Fan's jumping motion, controlling their speed to match Ye Fan's.
In their eyes, Ye Fan's actions were indeed very strange.
Ancestor Yad called you senior, so your strength must be above the early stage of Spirit Severing, right?
Why would such a powerful figure, instead of flying, adopt such a peculiar way of traveling?
But precisely because they considered Ye Fan a powerful figure, despite their doubts, they dared not ask.
After all, he was a powerful figure, so having some strange quirks was not entirely unacceptable.
Ancestor Yad did find Ye Fan's actions very strange, but he wasn't thinking about the strength aspect at all.
In his opinion, Ye Fan must have a reason for doing this.
He simply couldn't understand it because his spiritual level wasn't high enough!
Yes, it must be!
Thus, the group followed Ye Fan, hopping forward.
At first glance, it was quite like a group of toads traveling...
And to accommodate Ye Fan's status and face, they would fall back a short distance behind Ye Fan.
After all, the front position was exclusively for powerful figures.
Let alone surpassing them.
Even running parallel would be considered provocation and insult to a powerful figure!
That would be a suicidal act, something only someone with a poor intellect would do!
Soon, Ye Fan also noticed that the scene was a bit strange.
Fortunately, he had lived long enough, and his face was thick enough.
It was just a small matter!
As long as I am not embarrassed, the embarrassment will be for others!
