Chapter 925: Chapter 816: The Graveyard of Human Geniuses (Making up for 11 Shortcomings)

For cultivators at the Early-Stage War God Realm, the Forbidden Land is truly fraught with dangers. Any random mutant beast could shred an ordinary cultivator at this realm into pieces.

Even peerless geniuses like Xu Wudao, Anton, and Andre are almost invincible at the Early-Stage War God level, except when they encounter Ye Fan. Yet, when faced with Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beast Dominator, they can only flee.

This Forbidden Land is quite targeted, aiming specifically at cultivators of the Early-Stage War God Realm. Once someone breaks through this realm, the dangers within the Forbidden Land greatly diminish.

Xu Wudao, Anton, and Andre all realized this point, so after escaping, they all chose to go into seclusion to charge toward the Mid-level War God Realm.

Not only they, but Ye Fan also realized this.

After killing the Bloodthirsty Mad Bear with Su Liuli, he decided to first find a place for Su Liuli to quickly break through to the Mid-stage War God Realm. This way, at least, she would have the strength to contend when facing Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beasts.

As for him...

Currently, his Magic Cultivation is nearing the Great Perfection of the Early-Stage War God Realm. Breaking through the Martial Arts Cultivation to the Mid-stage War God Realm is not so easy, so his goal is merely to further condense his Gang Qi, quickly reach the Great Perfection of the Early-Stage War God Realm, and simultaneously enhance his combat power.

A moment later, Ye Fan finally found an ideal place for seclusion. It was a picturesque small mountain valley, with a waterfall cascading down like a white silk ribbon from a high mountain top, producing a deafening roar.

The whole valley seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil, reminiscent of an earthly paradise.

Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here was visibly more concentrated than elsewhere. Some Spirit Grass, rarely seen in the outside world, was plentiful throughout this small valley!

These Spirit Grasses are incredibly valuable to cultivators below the Early-Stage War God Realm, but once they break through to this realm, their usefulness dramatically decreases.

However, these Spirit Grasses can still be refined into some ordinary Elixir Pills, although Ye Fan currently has no interest in dealing with them.

In the valley, there was a natural cave, winding and twisting, with its entrance polished to a shiny surface by some unknown mutant beast.

The reason Ye Fan favored this location was not just due to the pleasant environment, but also because hardly any mutant beasts dared to come here.

It was evident that a very powerful mutant beast must be occupying this place, and if he could manage to kill it, not only could they undergo seclusion and cultivation here without disturbance from other mutant beasts, but they could also obtain a beast core of considerable quality.

However—

What Ye Fan did not expect was that after careful probing, he couldn’t sense the presence of a mutant beast.

Because of this, Ye Fan knew there were only two possibilities!

First, the mutant beast had gone out, temporarily absent from its lair.

Second, the mutant beast had concealed its presence through some special method.

To be safe, Ye Fan and Su Liuli hid themselves atop a lush tree, concealing their presence, and closely monitored the cave entrance within the valley—his instincts told him it was the mutant beast’s lair!

Whether the mutant beast had temporarily left or hidden its presence within its lair, it would eventually appear at the cave entrance. At that moment, they could first identify and assess the mutant beast’s type and gauge its power.

As time slowly passed by, it soon reached midnight when a silver moon hung in the sky, illuminating the entire valley as if it were daylight.

"Gulu... gulu... gulu..."

At this moment, a sound suddenly echoed in Ye Fan’s ear, like the noise one makes when their stomach growls with hunger.

However, this sound was much louder than a growling stomach, sinking Ye Fan’s heart because he could not determine what type of mutant beast it was just from the sound.

Su Liuli was even more puzzled. In terms of knowledge about mutant beasts, she lagged far behind Ye Fan since their life experiences were distinct and she hadn’t perused ancient books.

As the sound emerged, Ye Fan quickly saw an oddly shaped creature crawling out from the cave. It was larger than a buffalo, yet had very short legs.

Its body was covered in various-sized bumps, with bulging eyes, resembling a giant version of a toad, yet it had a strong, crocodile-like tail! _{f r\eew,eb novel.c(o)(m)}

Additionally, a silver, sparkling horn jutted from its head, looking mismatched; it was impossible to identify what this creature truly was.

With its short legs, it slowly crawled out of the cave towards a deep pool not far away, a pool formed by the waterfall, with its depth unknown.

Quickly, the creature arrived at the pool’s edge and plopped in, not resurfacing for a long while!

The mutant beast’s peculiar actions first stunned Ye Fan and Su Liuli, then made them realize that this bizarre creature might be an amphibious mutant beast.

Indeed, after some waiting, there came a splash as the ugly beast emerged from the water, its eyes gleaming, and the silver horn on its head glowing brightly.

Simultaneously, it floated on the water’s surface and began a swallowing motion toward the moon, clearly absorbing the moonlight to enhance its cultivation.

"Ye Fan, what do you think this creature is? What is it doing?" Su Liuli whispered to Ye Fan from their perch atop the tree.

"I don’t know either, but it’s certain this creature’s strength should be at the Overlord Level among Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beasts. Firstly, there’s no sign of any other Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beast in this area, indicating it’s its territory; secondly, it may have used some Secret Technique to conceal its presence, and it might have Beast Techniques." Ye Fan mused.

"So when should we take action?"

"Wait, wait for the moment when it is most lax and launch a fatal strike, aim for a one-hit kill!"

Although Ye Fan had absolute confidence in his own strength, the mysterious mutant beast ahead was clearly not easy to deal with, and this forbidden land was too mysterious and dangerous. He dared not be careless, deciding to launch a sneak attack, hoping to kill the mutant beast in one blow.

"Gululu... Gululu..."

As the two were talking, a strange sound echoed again, and then the bizarre mutant beast leapt from the water, its cold gaze sweeping towards the tree where Ye Fan and Su Liuli were hiding.

Hmm?

Ye Fan’s expression changed slightly. Although he and Su Liuli had kept their voices very low, unexpectedly, the bizarre mutant beast had still heard them and had located their hiding spot immediately.

The opportunity is lost; a sneak attack is impossible!

"Whoosh—"

The sound of cutting through the air rang out as Ye Fan, without hesitation, activated the Xuanye Flying Blade. The fierce blade energy enveloped the Xuanye Flying Blade, transforming into a nearly solid sword light, swiftly shooting towards the bizarre mutant beast.

Swish!

Su Liuli also moved, swiftly waving her hands, deploying her strongest killing move, the Bodhi Tree, as a verdant and ancient tree descended from the sky, aiming for the monster!

"Humans, you seek death!"

Facing the combined attack from Ye Fan and Su Liuli, the bizarre mutant beast transmitted mind communication, simultaneously shooting a silver light from the horn on its head towards the Xuanye Flying Blade.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the silver light hit the sword light, causing the sword light to explode violently, blade energy scattering, and Xuanye Flying Blade was shocked into the sky.

Swish!

This discovery made Ye Fan’s face change once more!

Since he comprehended the third style of the "Flying Sword Skill," ’Flowing Light,’ all mutant beasts he encountered could not withstand his blade, only awaiting instant death.

Yet, the mutant beast in front not only dispelled his ’Flowing Light,’ but also sent the Xuanye Flying Blade flying!

In comparison to Ye Fan, the shock within the mutant beast’s heart was even greater!

It didn’t expect that the two before it, merely early-stage War God Realm young cultivators, could actually fight it head-on without falling behind.

However—

Despite the shock, upon breaking Ye Fan’s assassination attempt, the bizarre mutant beast’s bumps seemed to turn into a toxic mist emitter, spraying copious amounts of dark green toxic mist, swiftly corroding Su Liuli’s Bodhi Tree entirely.

"Whoosh—"

After breaking the move, the bizarre mutant beast suddenly spat out a sticky white tongue from its mouth, which transformed into a white light and rolled towards Ye Fan and Su Liuli.

Swish!

Ye Fan was shocked and, without a word, grabbed Su Liuli’s hand, fully activating Gang Qi, leaping into the air like a circling large bird, swiftly descending from the tree and floating towards the distance.

Boom!!

A loud noise erupted, and the tree where Ye Fan and Su Liuli had hid was rolled by the bizarre mutant beast’s tongue, instantly turned into nothingness, even the rocks behind it exploded, reduced to powder.

"So strong!"

This scene shocked both Ye Fan and Su Liuli.

Although they guessed the monster was strong, they did not expect it to be this formidable. Not only did it easily block their attacks, but it also swiftly turned defense into attack and launched a counterattack!

"This is the forbidden land for human cultivators; it’s also known as the graveyard of human young geniuses, where countless human cultivator geniuses’ bones have been buried."

After missing a hit, the bizarre mutant beast did not continue attacking but coldly stared at Ye Fan and Su Liuli, mind communicating, "Your strength is too weak, coming here is simply delivering yourselves to death!"

"With just you, wanting to kill us, I’m afraid it’s not possible!"

Ye Fan responded with mind communication, then fully activated his internal Blood Qi and Gang Qi, preparing for a battle!
