Chapter 571: Again Facing the Heavenly Tribulation

A golden divine rainbow shot forth, its tail extending for hundreds of feet. Yan Yunluan roared, spitting out a mouthful of innate essence that transformed into a sharp blade, shattering the rainbow.

Standing in the stone forest, he stared coldly at Ye Fan. Last time he had almost been shot to death, and now he was being reprimanded again. His heart burned with fury, but he knew the Myriad Tribulations Bow countered him.

"Still not leaving? You've run out of time. Ten breaths have passed, I'll send you on your way!" Ye Fan drew his bow again. This arrow contained boundless vital essence. A divine rainbow pierced through heaven and earth, accompanied by gusts of wind and rumbling thunder, and shot out.

Yan Yunluan's expression changed. He opened his mouth and spat out a bronze lamp. The wick emitted divine flames, repeatedly striking the divine rainbow and dissolving it.

"Ye Zhetian, I will come for you!" He turned and left, unwilling to confront him.

"Why put off till tomorrow what can be done today? Let's finish this now." This time, Ye Fan was truly prepared to kill him. With no one around to disturb them, he intended to use the 'All' character secret technique to continuously fire arrows and kill him.

Yan Yunluan felt utterly humiliated. It was the first time in his life he had been pushed like this, and it wasn't because his combat power was inferior to his opponent's. He said nothing, flying towards the sky. He didn't want to be a living target again; his previous injuries hadn't even healed yet.

"Yan Yunluan, weren't you very arrogant just now? Why are you fleeing now?" Liu Kou shouted from behind.

"Yan Wudi, aren't you invincible? Why are you running away in such a hurry? Fight him!" Li Heishui also taunted, finally releasing his pent-up frustration.

Ye Fan pursued closely, firing arrow after arrow. Golden light streaked across the sky, and from a distance, it looked incredibly brilliant, like blooming fireworks, very beautiful.

However, wherever this dazzling light passed, lives would instantly vanish, forcing even a monstrous talent into such a desperate situation.

"Ye Zhetian, you're impressive, relying on a secret treasure to hunt me down now. I will break through in a few days, and then I will definitely come for your head!" Yan Yunluan spat fiercely. As long as he broke through one more realm, he would be among the strongest of the younger generation, if not *the* strongest. At that point, even if Ye Fan had the Myriad Tribulations Bow, Yan Yunluan would have no fear.

"Still talking tough when death is at your doorstep!" Ye Fan was determined to eliminate him. He began to activate the 'All' character secret technique, intending to fire continuous arrows. He didn't believe the opponent couldn't be killed after hundreds of divine arrows were triggered consecutively.

Many people along the way witnessed this scene and were utterly astonished. It had happened once not long ago, and now it was occurring again.

"Yan Yunluan is being hunted again!"

The word "again" made Yan Yunluan's body tremble. How humiliating! What kind of person was he? Rarely did he meet an opponent among his peers. Even older generation figures would be killed without mercy if they came. Yet he was being hunted down twice by a mere youth.

"Is that person Ye Zhetian, the young lord?" Many found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Yan Yunluan, don't run! As a monstrous talent, hailed as invincible, why are you fleeing without a fight?" Liu Kou shouted from behind; they had also followed.

"Truly incredible, Yan Yunluan is being hunted again by that person; he's met his match."

Along the way, people continuously exclaimed in surprise. The word "again" made Yan Yunluan's face turn ashen. He had never been so furious before; he was truly sensitive to that word.

Soon after, they rushed into a range of snowy peaks. The main reason was that the area was too high; the peaks soared into the clouds. Below, the mountains were green and valleys lush, full of vitality, while the mountaintops were covered in white snow.

Yan Yunluan was truly enraged, being chased like a dog, yet he had no way to stop it. Even getting furious wouldn't help. After all, he hadn't broken through yet.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?" White mist swirled on the snowy peak. A man in white robes was integrated with the snowy landscape, at one with nature. If he hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed him.

"Brother Chu." Yan Yunluan stopped and stood with the man in white, no longer fleeing.

Chu Tian was powerfully built, towering two heads above the average-sized Yan Yunluan. His white robes flapped in the wind. Standing in the snowstorm, he seemed to merge with the snowy mountain.

His skin was as white as snow, but his eyes were exceptionally radiant, like two gleaming divine lamps. His black hair danced in the wind and snow, like an ice god.

"It's him, the expert at the Fifth Transformation of Dragon!"

Behind them, Li Heishui, Liu Kou, and several others had caught up. All of them changed color upon seeing this person.

Ye Fan learned that on the first day the Qishi Manor opened, a person at the Fifth Transformation of Dragon had fought his way inside. No one was his match, and this was that very person.

A person like this, once they reach the Fifth Transformation of Dragon, can definitely slay those at the Ninth Transformation. To have such cultivation at just over twenty years old was truly terrifying.

Yan Yunluan regained his composure. He stood alongside Chu Tian on the snowy peak, staring coldly at Ye Fan. With two great experts joined, no one in the younger generation could contend against them.

They had no doubt about this. Even if Ye Fan possessed the Myriad Tribulations Bow, it wouldn't be enough. If he fought to the death, he would only be cut down. This was their confidence.

Many people pursued from behind and arrived at this spot. Everyone was astonished. With two prominent figures standing together, anyone would know to retreat in the face of difficulty. Yet Ye Fan was drawing his bowstring.

The 'All' character secret technique was activated, granting a tenfold increase in combat power. The Myriad Tribulations Bow seemed like a dormant dragon brought back to life, emitting an incredibly terrifying aura, shining with boundless light, its vibrations shaking the surroundings, instantly causing a massive avalanche.

"Whoosh!"

A divine rainbow shot out, aiming directly for Yan Yunluan's glabella. He opened his mouth and spat out a bronze lamp. The wick spewed flames, attacking the divine arrow from the side and neutralizing its power.

At the same time, Chu Tian made his move. With a raise of his hand, he froze the void. Dark ice spread, encasing the divine arrow within, and boundless divine power surged into it.

"Boom!"

The divine arrow shattered, turning into vital essence, and surged into the heavens and earth. Divine light raged, severing the snowy peak and sending it plummeting into a ten-thousand-zhang deep valley.

Li Heishui rushed over. He could see that with these two working together, there was likely no one in the younger generation who could stand against them. He feared Ye Fan would suffer a loss and be killed.

"Stop! Both of you are hailed as monstrous talents, isn't it unfair to team up like this?"

In the distance, the crowd watched. With two monstrous talents standing together, it naturally captivated everyone's attention. Everyone was full of anticipation.

Yan Yunluan's face darkened as he said, "Alright, since you put it that way, I won't make things difficult for him. In five days, I will go to his lord's manor to challenge him to a decisive battle and slay him with my halberd!"

"Why wait five days? Come now, and I will slay you publicly!" Ye Fan sneered coldly.

Everyone else was also astonished. They didn't know why he was so conceited, daring to utter such boasts. How could he slay Ye Fan without even moving a finger?

Yan Yunluan strode, coming close to Ye Fan. He smirked coldly and said, "I'll send you on your way!"

"Boom!"

Ten thousand zhang of lightning descended from the sky, instantly engulfing both him and Ye Fan.

At this moment, not a single person wasn't terrified. This was actually a heavenly tribulation! Many favored daughters of heaven turned pale with fright, and numerous Saint-level figures were all profoundly shocked.

Heavenly Tribulation!

Yan Yunluan was enduring the tribulation while simultaneously trying to use the power of heaven and earth to suppress Ye Fan. Everyone understood his intentions.

In this world, not many people at this age could summon a heavenly tribulation. Anyone who could was surely a monstrous talent, rarely encountering an opponent.

The crowd dispersed. A conflict had been resolved, but people became even more expectant. In five days, there would be a great battle: monstrous talent against Ye Zhetian, which was sure to be a fierce struggle.

"Thank you for your help, Brother." When they were alone, Li Heishui and Liu Kou expressed their gratitude.

Ye Fan immediately smiled. He walked over and patted their shoulders, saying, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

The two were stunned. Then they both shrieked in surprise. They stepped forward and playfully punched him twice, both extremely excited.

"You're finally here! All those monstrous talents in the Qishi Manor are freaks; we're counting on you to defeat them all."

"It would truly be a pity if this place were without you. Fortunately, you didn't stay holed up in the Eastern Wasteland."

"Speaking of which, Little Ye Zi, you need to quickly raise your cultivation realm, or you really won't be able to deal with them. There's a girl from the Western Desert whom many unanimously believe can one day achieve enlightenment and become a Bodhisattva."

"There's a monstrous talent from Central State who killed a King with just one slap; you should have heard of him."

"In the Northern Plains, there's a young man who calls himself the Wolf God. Everyone avoids him because his combat power is terrifyingly formidable. He even captured an ancient creature to be his servant."

Clearly, these two were provoked. They were severely impacted after meeting the prodigies from the five great regions.

Ye Fan said, "Many people are late bloomers. Weren't half of the ancient saints just ordinary in their youth? What truly matters is their potential in the later stages."

"That's true," Li Heishui nodded and chuckled, "but you don't need to comfort us like that."

"Have you seen Pang Bo?" Ye Fan asked. He had come to Central State to search for his old friend.

Both shook their heads. Many people closed themselves off in seclusion upon entering the Qishi Manor, and half of them hadn't even been seen yet. And this time, entry into the Immortal Mansion world was also in batches.

Ye Fan and the others returned to the stone forest. They came to the tranquil blue lake and ascended the ethereal stone mountain. Immediately, their minds became calm.

"This place is extraordinary!"

Although they could feel its uniqueness, they couldn't discern its profound mystery. They all sat cross-legged on the stone mountain, facing the small lake in meditation.

The small lake was serenely blue, and the stone mountain was ethereal. For several days, their minds were clear and unburdened, making it easy to enter the Dao realm, almost achieving enlightenment there.

"I know now, this is where an ancient saint achieved nirvana!" Ye Fan was surprised and made this conjecture.

When ancient saints died, their flesh and blood were imperishable, never decaying, and could last forever. However, some chose not to leave their physical forms after death, opting to dissolve themselves.

Such places were known as "Dao Transformation Sites." They contained inner divine essence, imprinted with the true essence of the Dao. If one could discover and cultivate within them, it was easy to achieve sudden enlightenment and enter the Dao realm.

"In ancient times, an ancient saint transformed into Dao here, returning to the natural world," Liu Kou exclaimed, his heart deeply shaken.

In the distance, in the endless mountain ranges, strange beasts roamed in groups. Over the past few days, they had been gathering at an astonishing speed, and many cultivators had met with misfortune because of this.

"Let's go. The uprising of the Barbarian Ancient Beast Kings is about to begin. Let's not get trapped here."

Finally, they left the Immortal Mansion world. Ye Fan transformed his appearance and emerged from the entrance controlled by the Qishi Manor, unnoticed by anyone.

Ye Fan did not leave. Instead, he wandered around this immortal mountain enveloped in purple mist. He then chose a spot and quietly cultivated for several days. He was sensing the pulse of this immortal mountain, hoping to discover something unusual.

A few days later, he returned to Lucheng. As soon as he arrived, he saw many people looking at him strangely, all staring and seemingly wanting to say something.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Lord, a few days ago, someone named Yan Yunluan came, claiming he would kill you. Many people from the Qishi Manor followed to watch the spectacle, but you weren't here."

"They speculated you didn't dare to fight and had already fled in a panic, saying many unpleasant things."

"He actually came?" Ye Fan hadn't paid attention to this; having stayed a few extra days in the immortal vein, he naturally missed it.

"Some said that as long as you dared to show up, Yan Yunluan would come to take your head, unless you forever remained a cowardly turtle."

Ye Fan came to the Desolate Hut. The people of the ancient village also confirmed this. Yan Yunluan had also come here looking for him, wanting a life-or-death duel.

Soon after, news of Ye Fan's return spread. The people of Qishi Manor learned of it. On that very day, Yan Yunluan appeared, along with many others.

A grand procession, no fewer than two to three hundred people. All of them were young experts who had entered the Qishi Manor. There were beautiful young women, as well as bald young monks, a diverse group.

Many people had already heard that this young lord had hunted down Yan Yunluan, and all wanted to see what methods he possessed.

The elites from the five great regions, all favored sons and daughters of heaven, each one was arrogant and proud, yet they eagerly wanted to witness this battle.

"Where is Princess Qi?" Someone shouted, glaring at Ye Fan.

She had been missing for some time, completely out of sight. People who wanted to rescue her couldn't. Her appearance today naturally led some people to surround him.

"Release the Princess!" Over a dozen people were eager to make a move.

Ye Fan immediately smiled. With a flash of light in his hand, he released Qi Huoshui from the precious vase. The peerless beauty thrashed and clawed, pouncing at him.

"You dared to seal me for so many days? I'll fight you to the death!"

Unfortunately, the restrictions on her had not been removed, and she couldn't harm Ye Fan in the slightest.

"Someone's here to rescue you, don't act feisty with me." Ye Fan flicked her on the forehead.

From a distance, many people who witnessed this were stunned, almost petrified. They thought he was too daring. Didn't he fear causing huge trouble by messing with this "chili pepper" from the Southern Ridge?

Qi Huoshui saw the people around her. She turned and sprinted away, trying to escape. Ye Fan did not stop her.

At this moment, Yan Yunluan appeared, his expression cold and devoid of emotion. He said, "I'll let you shoot me with the Myriad Tribulations Bow. Today, I won't even lift a finger to suppress you!"

"What arrogance." Ye Fan sneered.

Everyone else was also astonished. They didn't know why he was so conceited, daring to utter such boasts. How could he slay Ye Fan without even moving a finger?

Yan Yunluan strode, coming close to Ye Fan. He smirked coldly and said, "I'll send you on your way!"

"Boom!"

Ten thousand zhang of lightning descended from the sky, instantly engulfing both him and Ye Fan.

At this moment, not a single person wasn't terrified. This was actually a heavenly tribulation! Many favored daughters of heaven turned pale with fright, and numerous Saint-level figures were all profoundly shocked.

Heavenly Tribulation!

Yan Yunluan was enduring the tribulation while simultaneously trying to use the power of heaven and earth to suppress Ye Fan. Everyone understood his intentions.
