In the eyes of the woman with the mysterious energy entity, Ye Fan appeared to be a dead man.

She didn’t need to consider Ye Fan’s opinion, deciding to drag him back for research as a "monster." This made Ye Fan frown slightly, although he had to admit the power was strong. However, to say this power could completely suppress him was something he didn’t believe, because he didn’t think the power was truly that formidable.

"You want to capture me?" Ye Fan scrutinized the energy entity, "What are you? I would rather capture you and study you thoroughly!"

The mysterious energy entity laughed: "You want to capture me? Isn’t that overconfidence? Do you think you have the ability to capture me? You are nothing more than a human. I’m filled with curiosity about humans—what kind of creatures are they, how do they reproduce and live, and how do they cultivate energy? I wanted to study them thoroughly before, but there were always people obstructing my research plans!"

Ye Fan said, "Since you want to study me, why not try, and see if you can come up with any results!"

"Very well, since you have surrendered yourself, I won’t stand on ceremony. Come on, I want to see how you cultivated this energy entity..."

Just like how the mysterious energy entity appeared strange and mysterious, requiring research, to Ye Fan, Ye Fan was similarly an "abnormal creature" to the mysterious energy entity that needed to be dragged back for thorough examination.

Ye Fan provisionally regarded this energy entity as a woman, because it emitted a woman’s voice that sounded very crisp, making Ye Fan appreciate it somewhat. Just as Ye Fan was contemplating how to solve the energy entity, its attacks followed closely behind. This energy entity was also very arrogant and didn’t directly aim to kill Ye Fan, but wanted to use the energy entity to bind him, like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Really overconfident, daring to attack me? Haha, do you think you have any chance of defeating me?" the energy entity taunted upon discovering Ye Fan’s retaliation.

At this time, not only Ye Fan, but even Master Ming Ye was furious, because this energy entity clearly considered all humans as enemies. Master Ming Ye, as a human cultivator who eventually became an Immortal, despite not admitting her humanity anymore, was still indignant seeing humans being belittled.

Unfortunately, Ye Fan wouldn’t return her energy but continued to suppress the energy within her. So even though Master Ming Ye had strong opinions about Ye Fan, they were in vain. Ye Fan simply didn’t give her the opportunity to prove herself.

The energy emitted by the mysterious force collided with Ye Fan above the Arctic.

The energy fluctuation produced by this collision was enormous. Ye Fan felt the explosion was extremely dangerous, capable of destroying the entire Earth, so he decisively used another energy entity to envelop the planet, forming an external protective membrane, thus preventing disaster.

The mysterious force initially thought it could directly control Ye Fan, but at this moment, it realized controlling Ye Fan wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Ye Fan’s cultivation level had exceeded its imagination.

"Strange, while you’re opposing me, you still have the mind to protect this planet. It seems this planet is very important to you?" The mysterious force spoke curiously.

Ye Fan didn’t answer; he didn’t want to be threatened by Earth’s safety. His greatest concern was that although others had no power to defeat him, they were always trying to interfere with and seduce his thoughts, using Earth’s safety to threaten him. Now Ye Fan felt that defeating this mysterious energy in continued battle wasn’t difficult and he could even capture it for thorough study. But unfortunately, now he might be threatened by Earth’s safety again.

"Here!" Ye Fan continued to attack the mysterious energy entity.

The mysterious energy entity kept dodging, quickly realizing not only couldn’t it capture Ye Fan, but it was gradually falling behind in the ongoing battle. It began to panic; evidently, its combat experience wasn’t very substantial.

"Impossible, humans can’t have such high cultivation levels. I’ve been to many human settlements and seen many human cultivators. How can there be someone with such high cultivation?" The mysterious energy entity started feeling insecure and suspected that the situation before it was fake, preparing to flee.

Ye Fan said, "The realm of human cultivators isn’t something you can fathom. Right now, I want to show you that your perceptions of humans are biased, and I will represent humanity to teach you a lesson for your arrogance!"

"No way, you are definitely not a human cultivator. What you cultivate is different from humans; do you think I can’t see that? Actually, the power within you is hidden within other energy entities. I can sense this power is even generated by other forces; you must be a demon... a legendary demon!" The mysterious energy entity suddenly showed more fear towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan didn’t know what the demon the mysterious energy entity spoke of represented, but he knew he must capture this mysterious energy entity now; otherwise, if it escaped, who knows what kind of future troubles it might cause.

Ye Fan’s attack encased the mysterious energy entity, which was still struggling, but the result of its struggle seemed to have no significant effect.

"Don’t you have help?" Ye Fan suddenly remembered his previous judgment that this energy entity seemed to have more than one energy source. He guessed there might be other energy entities assisting, so he had to thoroughly resolve this energy entity and find its helpers once and for all.

"What’s it to you? Oh, humans have such high-level cultivators; I was ignorant before. Nonetheless, I still want to capture you back!" The mysterious energy entity seemed to wield a very powerful spell, instantly enhancing its powers by several times.

It was like there were several energy entities at once, a kind of replicating spell. Ye Fan finally understood why he previously detected multiple energy sources from the energy entity.

"Let’s see how you defeat me now!" The energy entity was very arrogant, believing that creating several of its clones would surely defeat Ye Fan.

However, it clearly underestimated Ye Fan’s combat experience. Even now in a weakened state, Ye Fan could easily defeat the energy entity. Even if the energy entity’s cultivation soared, Ye Fan’s rich combat experience made defeating the entity not very difficult.

When the energy entity realized it had no escape route, it knew it was in trouble.
