Chapter 2055: Chapter 1918: So-Called Prestige

The Divine Radiance swept across, and the killing intent soared to the sky!

From afar, Ye Fan and others saw the people from Jiang Sheng Star surrounding and slaying a fierce beast ahead.

This fierce beast was extremely terrifying, with a head like a lion, a body like a Qilin, spewing clouds and mist, radiating a menacing aura all over, and spitting a black mist that corroded everything.

However, at this moment, it appeared particularly miserable. The horn on its head was broken, it was bleeding profusely, and many scales were flying off.

"Kill!"

The Holy Tiger’s eyes widened, its bronze skin glowing, exuding a powerful Holy Might, wielding a Divine Weapon to slice through the void, mercilessly striking the fierce beast’s forehead, almost splitting its head open.

"Aowoo..."

The fierce beast went berserk, letting out a terrifying howl, and swatted the Saint away with a paw.

"Cough cough..."

The Saint coughed up blood, his body cracked, his bronze skin stained red with blood, but his gaze grew colder, and his body erupted with strong War Intent.

"Slash!"

Baling roared, driving his Holy Beast, his Big Halberd turning into a fierce dragon, bursting with dazzling light, lunging at the fierce beast with claws outstretched.

Mu Qingyi and others also attacked with all their might, restraining the fierce beast.

At this moment...

They suddenly sensed someone approaching, turned back in their rush, and were shocked to see Ye Fan and others standing not far away, trembling all over in fright.

"Oh my God, that Demon King is here again!" The faces of the Jiang Sheng Star people changed drastically.

Now, in their hearts, Ye Fan was definitely synonymous with the Demon King, too brutal.

"Boom!"

The dragon formed by the Big Halberd fiercely struck the fierce beast, blood gushing, scales flying off, nearly splitting it in two.

"Aowoo..."

The fierce beast let out a miserable scream, staggered, and the ferocity in its eyes intensified.

"Bang!"

The fierce beast, like a small mountain, turned into a flash of blood light, crashing into Mu Qingyi and others, sending them flying.

"Puff!"

Several of them couldn’t help but spit out mouthfuls of blood, bones breaking and muscles tearing, their Holy Embryos almost shattered.

"You beast, die!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Saint wielded his Divine Weapon, uniting with it, as if God’s punishment descended, and the Killing Light pierced through the heavens and earth.

"Swoosh!"

The void was easily pierced; a Divine Weapon descended from the sky, piercing the fierce beast’s head, nailing it fiercely to the ground.

"Aow..."

The fierce beast struggled violently, cracking the earth, leaving the surroundings devastated.

After a long time, it finally stopped struggling, died, its Divine Soul obliterated.

This battle cost Jiang Sheng Star dearly, with everyone suffering varying degrees of trauma.

"Thud!"

The Saint’s face was pale as he knelt on the ground, propping himself up with his Divine Weapon, gasping heavily, filled with resentment and indignation.

If not for having a tenth of his cultivation cut by Ye Fan, he wouldn’t have been in such a sorry state, having exerted all his strength to finally kill this Holy level fierce beast.

This strike depleted his entire spiritual energy, nearly draining him.

"Swoosh!"

Baling swung his Big Halberd with all his strength, directly slicing the fierce beast into two, spilling its innards, dyeing the ground red with blood.

"Buzz!"

A soft-glowing, crystal-clear inner core slowly rose from the innards, like a small sun, floating without falling.

It was a golden inner core, like crystal, with gold mist threads flowing inside.

"Holy level Inner Core? What a treasure!"

Seeing this, the Bai Yan wolf’s eyes sparkled, almost drooling, walking towards them with ill intentions.

This guy, always greedy, couldn’t resist treasures; upon seeing this mystical inner core, he naturally wanted to claim it as his own.

"What to do?"

The people of Jiang Sheng Star’s hearts skipped a beat, turning their gaze towards Baling and the Saint.

"What to do? I know what to do."

Baling smiled bitterly; of course, he could tell that the greedy Bai Yan wolf had its sights on this inner core.

Hand the inner core over?

He was really unwilling.

This inner core was obtained through their arduous efforts, essentially risking their lives for it.

However, the situation was stronger than they were. If Ye Fan and the others were to settle old scores, they would have no power to resist.

Baling’s expression kept changing, finally gritting his teeth, deciding to offer the inner core to Ye Fan, hoping this could resolve the enmity between both parties.

Though Mu Qingyi and others were unwilling, they said nothing more.

They well knew that if enmity could be resolved, offering an inner core would be absolutely worth it.

Holding the inner core, Baling went to meet Ye Fan and the others.

"Brother Ye, we were wrong before, we hope Brother Ye can be magnanimous and not hold it against us." Baling gritted his teeth, putting on a sincere smile as he spoke.

"Just a verbal apology? I don’t see any sincerity in it."

Before Ye Fan could speak, Bai Yan wolf spoke first, eyes constantly fixed on the golden inner core in Baling’s palm.

"Oh, right, this inner core was formed inside a Holy level Fierce Beast. It has the effect of Washing Marrow and Removing Hair, rebirth—the perfect apology gift if Brother Ye doesn’t mind."

Baling felt stifled; he was also a Young Supreme with prideful bones, never bowing to anyone.

Yet at this moment, he couldn’t help but give in, offering the Holy level inner core he had fought so hard for.

"How could I simply accept this..."

Ye Fan hadn’t finished speaking when Bai Yan wolf snatched the inner core away with a grunt.

"You wretched wolf, bring it back!" Ye Fan shouted.

"Swish!"

Bai Yan wolf was secretly pleased, but a five-colored Divine Light suddenly swept in, snatching the golden inner core right from its mouth.

"Boss, you’re being unfair." Bai Yan wolf grumbled but didn’t compete further.

Because it knew that trying to snatch something from the Peacock was nearly impossible.

"Master!"

The Peacock gracefully approached, handing the inner core to Ye Fan without any intention of keeping it for itself.

"You all have your day now!" The Xuan Realm crowd inwardly celebrated, finally shaking off the humiliation and frustration they had endured before.

So what about the Jiang Sheng Star? It’s being firmly suppressed by Ye Fan, who compelled an apology and even made them offer a Holy level inner core.

Reflecting on the past when Ye Fan was absent, the arrogance and tyranny of Jiang Sheng Star’s people were off the charts, completely ignoring them, trampling on their dignity.

Now, the Jiang Sheng Star Emperor’s son has been slain, Baling and Jiang Sheng have lost a tenth of their cultivation, and others were forced to self-inflict injuries, now facing them like servile grandchildren.

All of this was thanks to Ye Fan.

If not for Ye Fan, they might still be suffering the bullying by Jiang Sheng Star and other forces.

At this moment, all Xuan Realm Trialists felt grateful toward Ye Fan.

Ye Fan’s undisputed strength allowed them to truly stand tall.

At the same time, Jiang Sheng Star’s people were bleeding in their hearts. The inner core they fought for with their lives was just handed over.

They felt suppressed, frustrated, angry, and unwilling, yet utterly helpless.

Ye Fan seemed like their nemesis; as long as he was around, they couldn’t possibly defeat the Xuan Realm—they simply had to accept this reality, no matter how suffocating it felt.

"Brother Ye, if there’s nothing else, we will take our leave."

Baling suppressed his frustration and unwillingness, speaking respectfully, not wanting to linger a moment longer in front of Ye Fan.

Despite the intense anger, even wishing to devour him alive, they still had to put on a smiling face—that kind of humiliation and vexation was the greatest torture for him.

"Thank you for your gift. While we are honored to accept it, I’m also embarrassed to take it." Ye Fan said with a smile.

Baling staggered, almost falling to the ground, inwardly grumbling: "You say it’s embarrassing to take, yet you still accept, despite how hard we worked for it!"

Of course, he didn’t dare say this out loud, only silently resenting it as he quickly left with the others.

"Did we really just hand over a Holy level inner core like that?" Someone asked indignantly after walking a distance.

"What else could we do?" Baling said gloomily, "You better hope that Ye has some conscience left and won’t bother us anymore, otherwise it’s hard to say if we can leave here alive."

"He’s right; this inner core indeed has the effect of Washing Marrow and Removing Hair, rebirth."

Ye Fan, skilled in pharmacology, quickly discerned that the inner core was rich in terrifying blood essence, the source of the Fierce Beast’s power. If fully absorbed and refined, it would greatly benefit the body.

"Brother Taidou, your physique is the weakest, keep this inner core for yourself!"

Ye Fan tossed the inner core to Wen TaDou beside him, causing the Bai Yan wolf to be extremely envious, yet surprisingly refraining from competing.

Because it knew of everyone, only Wen TaDou had the weakest physique; although Ye Fan had already given him seven or eight drops of Dragon Essence to cleanse his body, the Holy level inner core still had an effect.

The inner core is good, but it no longer needs it—given its physique that could rival Ye Fan’s, the inner core wouldn’t do much.

On the other hand, if used for Wen TaDou, it could maximize its effect.

Making the best use of resources is a principle it understood.

Everyone else was filled with envy; Holy level inner cores are exceedingly rare, especially those capable of aiding Washing Marrow and Removing Hair, rebirth—even rarer.

"Ye Zi..." Wen TaDou was deeply touched; to receive a Holy level inner core completely indifferent from Ye Fan, this kind of favor... was immense.

"With such aid from you, rising like a leisurely walk; feeling this immense kindness, I surely will repay!" Wen TaDou started with his scholarly speech again.

"Alright, alright enough of that, my teeth are about to go sour." The Great Demon grumbled, holding his cheeks in a toothache expression.

"Get lost!" Wen TaDou kicked, laughingly scolding: "Can’t you let me act profound just once, always undermining me."

"The issue is you don’t quite seem like one!" Li Yu’er jabbed from the side, laughing till everyone’s stomach ached—turning the scene into a joyful one.

"It’s you all who are wicked!"

Wen TaDou cherished the inner core, suddenly becoming aggressive, sending ancient words flying from his mouth, weaving into a large foot that kicked the Great Demon and Li Yu’er hard on their butts, sending them flying.

"Holy crap..."

The two shouted, turning midair like a Giant Roc spreading wings and swung their fists at Wen TaDou.

Moments later...

Wen TaDou sported panda eyes.

Li Yu’er had a bloody nose.

The Great Demon’s face was swollen like a bun...
