The Dragon Horse showed a hint of coldness. Its hooves almost lifted, but it held back at the crucial moment, staring forward with a cold gaze. Four tall, imposing men strode in, each exuding an intimidating aura. Five women, all with beautiful faces and silken hair, seemed like ethereal butterflies, their eyes gleaming, their beauty exceptional.

"Why are you still standing there? Aren't you leaving?" A woman standing at the back frowned, her beautiful eyes fixed on the nine ancient jade pieces on the stone table, a hint of unusual splendor in them.

"Get out now!" A man waved his hand, seemingly impatient. Though not the central figure, he carried himself with considerable arrogance. His bright gaze fell upon the seed in the wooden box, and he immediately showed surprise.

"Where did these thieves come from!" The Dragon Horse's face darkened.

"This is our trial ground. You intruded into this area without reason and are trying to steal our treasures. Do you still have a right to be here?" Several people glared at them with furrowed brows.

"Nonsense! This is my cave dwelling. You can't be so shameless trying to act like bandits!" The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon roared in anger. It was not to be trifled with; it had recently devoured over a dozen human powerhouses. How could it tolerate others acting aggressively on its territory?

This was a group of impressive men and women, all possessing extraordinary bearing. The leading man and woman were particularly prominent; their power was transcendent and saintly, with faint wisps of holy radiance emanating from them.

The leading man spoke, "This area was indeed allocated to us; that is no lie. We don't wish to resort to conflict, so please leave quickly." As he spoke, he only looked at Ye Fan, ignoring the Dragon Horse and the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon, clearly realizing who the true master was.

"I've never heard of such a thing," Ye Fan said indifferently.

The leading man was imposing and vibrant, his black hair like a waterfall. His powerful physique was bronzed, and his eyes were sharp and intimidating. Rings of divine light shimmered around his body, indicating he was a rare powerhouse, shrouded in a hazy holy radiance.

"You don't seem familiar with this area. Are you a new trial participant?" He slightly frowned, his gaze sweeping over Ye Fan, then to the Dragon Horse. Suddenly, his heart jolted as if he had remembered something.

The leading woman, with features like a painting and red lips framing white teeth, gently parted her lips and said, "This ancient star is vast, with many pure lands suitable for cultivation. Some famous areas were designated over a decade ago, and this place falls within our cultivation territory."

"Nonsense! This is my cave dwelling. When did it become your cultivation territory? This is too much!" The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon roared fiercely.

"Why bother talking to them?" A man nearby was already very impatient, staring at the seed in Ye Fan's hand with a hint of greed. Two other women also kept staring at the ancient jade pieces, eager to claim them immediately.

"As fellow human trial participants, we don't want to act ruthlessly. It's best if we can avoid bloodshed. If you don't leave, don't blame us for being impolite," another person said in a deep voice.

"I won't say any more. You have three breaths to disappear from this cave dwelling, or you'll face the consequences!" a man stated coldly.

Ye Fan's expression remained indifferent, showing no reaction. He simply lowered his head to look at the seed, ignoring the man's words.

A flame ignited in the Dragon Horse's heart. "Do you all think yourselves Saint Kings? Get out, or you'll be killed without mercy!" It was quite domineering and decided to attack, simultaneously nudging the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon with a hoof, "Later, kill them ruthlessly!"

The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was originally one of the strongest exotic beasts, with extraordinary talent and dragon blood flowing within it. Having been subdued by this fierce horse, it had already been simmering with rage. Now, with others trying to bully it, it could no longer hold back. It was a fierce beast, completely unbound by anything. Naturally, it had no qualms and immediately launched an attack.

Several golden dragon tails swung, producing sounds of wind and thunder. Brilliant golden divine light erupted, appearing like mountain ranges soaring out, dazzling and accompanied by deafening thunder. It immediately unleashed its killing move: all nine tails trembled and pressed down. The formations within the cave dwelling began to crumble, and the sky itself seemed to shatter.

The intruders dodged, but one was a bit slow. An arm burst open with a thump, struck by a golden crocodile tail, turning into a bloody mist.

"Bastard! Just a beast, yet it dares to harm a person! Surround this place; don't let a single one escape!" roared the injured person. The others also shouted angrily. This was a group of formidable trial participants, each shaking their hand to conjure formation flags, sealing off the great lake and launching an attack.

Only the leading man and woman frowned, feeling a sense of unease. As they stared at Ye Fan and the Dragon Horse, they recalled the rumors from the past year.

"The Buried Emperor Star... the Sacred Body!"

"Could it really be him?"

The two exchanged glances, gasping. A red horse covered in scales, a legendary invincible human treasure body... If it truly was this pair, they were indeed formidable opponents. They had likely met their match. The expressions of the leading man and woman froze; they both felt a hint of regret.

At this moment, they had no time to think further. The Dragon Horse and Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon charged through the formation flags and rushed forward, initiating a fierce battle. This was a group of people with considerable strength. What was particularly formidable was their mastery of formations; during the battle, they deployed layer after layer of formation flags, encircling the Dragon Horse and Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon.

The battle was incredibly intense, with several Saint-level formations taking shape one after another. Streaks of sword energy swept across the land, shaking heaven and earth! These people were aggressive and certainly possessed extraordinary strength, otherwise, they wouldn't be so confident. Perhaps their individual combat power wasn't superior, but their ability to conjure such complex and mysterious formations was remarkable.

"Boom!"

A terrifying fluctuation erupted, surging forth like a tsunami, instantly evaporating the great lake for several thousand li around and turning the entire area into a blazing silver flame. A luminous silver disc, initially like the bright moon, then transformed into a burning sun, radiating destructive fluctuations.

"A peerless forbidden artifact!" cried the Dragon Horse, its scales flaring as it sucked in cold air. This fluctuation was too powerful; if it hit, even if one survived, they would be severely injured. The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon immediately turned and fled. It was a fierce beast, never bound by any moral codes or conventions. It certainly didn't want to become roasted crocodile meat.

Neither of these two sacred beasts had anticipated that their opponents possessed such a formidable forbidden artifact. This kind of fluctuation could likely kill powerhouses far superior in cultivation to them. Forging such a forbidden artifact must have incurred an immeasurable cost, consuming unimaginable heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Now, with it self-destructing and burning, even ancient saints would feel a chill.

This was unleashed by the leading man and woman together. They were now certain that this was the man and horse from the Buried Emperor Star. Their scalps tingled, and they no longer wished to entangle themselves, thus seeking to escape. The other seven were somewhat puzzled. They felt there was no need to reveal their trump card so quickly. And just then, they heard a telepathic message instructing them to retreat. These individuals didn't understand. Even if the strength of the two fierce beasts exceeded expectations, they weren't without the power to fight. Why retreat before a clear victor emerged?

"Boom!"

A earth-shattering sound reverberated. These people now understood why the leading man and woman had made such a choice. Their hearts turned cold, and they all fled without looking back. The man from the cave dwelling had made his move, and his strength surpassed their imagination! Above his head, a cauldron hovered, from which the Mother Qi of All Things descended. It was also encircled by rivers of stars, shrouded in primordial chaos, making him invulnerable to all laws!

He simply charged straight in, powerfully tearing through the formations and confronting the peerless forbidden artifact head-on, striking it with a single punch. The scene was astonishing. The silver disc glowed, radiating overwhelming murderous intent, but it was held back by the cauldron and could not penetrate through. Moreover, that person's golden fist powerfully smashed onto the silver disc, clearly emitting a shattering sound. He had shattered the forbidden artifact.

With a resounding hum, heaven and earth ripped open. The forbidden artifact shattered into pieces, and silver flames boiled, sweeping across all directions! Amidst the brilliant light, golden vital energy surged. From his abdomen, a Taiji diagram flew out, spinning rapidly and obliterating all destructive light.

"Golden vital energy, a red-scaled horse, the Mother Qi of All Things Cauldron... He... is from the Buried Emperor Star, he is... the legendary Sacred Body!"

"The Sacred Body, unseen for 100,000 years, has arrived! How did we run into him?"

"The Sacred Body from the Buried Emperor Star has arrived!"

These people were terrified, finally realizing they had provoked an unbeatable foe. Not a single one dared to linger; they all fled. Ye Fan's invincible strike shattered their will to continue fighting!

The Dragon Horse and Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon pursued closely, chasing them down. However, this group of people had lost all desire to fight and fled at extreme speed. These nine powerhouses were the elites of this region; at the very least, few trial participants within tens of thousands of li dared to provoke them. Yet, today, they suffered a complete defeat.

Ultimately, Ye Fan personally intercepted the leading man and woman, while the Dragon Horse and Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon heavily wounded the others, cutting off their escape. In particular, two of the rude individuals were devoured by the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon along the way. Not a single one of them managed to escape. Their faces turned ashen, all traces of their earlier confidence gone; they were utterly terrified.

Ye Fan searched the divine consciousness of one of them and found that while cultivators did indeed divide and allocate regions, this particular area was definitely not a cultivation ground for powerhouses as they had claimed.

"You nine certainly have some nerve. The men can commit suicide, and the women can stay to warm the bed and become maidservants," the Dragon Horse said, intentionally exuding a fierce aura. For the first time, the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon looked at the Dragon Horse with reverence, nodding repeatedly. It was a fierce beast, fearing nothing and bound by no rules.

The seven survivors immediately turned pale. One woman, in particular, was the worst off; severely wounded and terrified, she fainted on the spot.

Ye Fan sighed lightly, then turned and left with the Dragon Horse and Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon. The Emperor's Road was cruel, strewn with countless bones. He had no choice but to battle on, and perhaps in the future, thousands upon thousands of corpses would lie beneath his feet. At present, he could still control himself and didn't wish to cause too much slaughter.

"The Sacred Body from the Buried Emperor Star has arrived!" This news spread like a hurricane, sweeping through the mountains and turning the great lake into a forbidden zone. Everyone in the area retreated, and no one dared to disturb Ye Fan again.

"The Buried Emperor Star... the Sacred Body... This is going to be interesting. Some people won't be lonely anymore; they'll definitely come looking for him."

"Be careful. All sorts of rumors are spreading now. It's said that a Saint Spirit is leading an army to attack this star domain. Right now, accumulating our strength is paramount!"
