“Fire King’s master!”
Many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were deeply puzzled. They had never heard that Fire King had a master, and the aura of the newcor was far stronger than Fire King’s—clearly an Invincible Dao Ancestor.
Yet they had no knowledge of who this Invincible Dao Ancestor was or where he ca from.
“The previous Fire King, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire!” Dao Ancestor Wushuang spoke up.
Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire looked surprised and said, “You recognize ?”
His reputation had never been prominent, and in his previous identity as Fire King, he’d simply been known by that title. Therefore, while people recognized “Fire King,” few knew his true na, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire.
“What? The previous Fire King?”
Many of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were stunned.
“Could the rumors be true, that the Ten Kings of Blackwind Mountain are rely a title passed down through generations, not referring to any specific ten people?”
Dao Ancestor Myriad Swords of the Heavenly Sword Sect exclaid in shock.
The other Pinnacle Dao Ancestors’ expressions shifted drastically. If this speculation were accurate, then Blackwind Mountain’s strength was far more formidable than it appeared. The “Ten Kings” would signify ten Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. Although four of the Ten Kings had perished in the Domain Realm’s destructive war, leaving only six, if the previous generations of Ten Kings were still alive, how many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors did Blackwind Mountain actually have? And how many Invincible Dao Ancestors?
“Of course I know you!” Dao Ancestor Wushuang continued, “Though I don’t know much about Blackwind Mountain, I do know a few figures, and one of them is you, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire. It’s said that you once infiltrated a secret realm of our Limitless Sky Sect, attempting to steal from it, though you were repelled by one of our Invincible Dao Ancestors!”
“That indeed happened, but it was ages ago!” Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire sighed.
Then, glancing at Fire King, he looked back at Dao Ancestor Wushuang and said, “Give so face today and let this matter end here. What do you say?”
“Absolutely not. A Forbidden Supre Treasure—how could I just let that go?” Dao Ancestor Wushuang charged at Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire without any hint of fear.
“Seems we’ll have to fight, after all.” Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire muttered to himself.
Boom! The two Invincible Dao Ancestors, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire and Dao Ancestor Wushuang, began clashing fiercely, while the other Pinnacle Dao Ancestors turned their sights toward Fire King.
Fire King was on the brink of death, and it was the perfect mont to end him.
Wind King’s expression changed, and he quickly tried to take Fire King away to escape. However, there were too many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors around, almost dozens of them.
Rescuing Fire King from so many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors would be as difficult as slaying an Invincible Dao Ancestor.
At that mont—
Several figures materialized, accompanied by voices calling out.
“Wind King, Fire King, we’ve co to help you!”
Boom! The other four Kings of Blackwind Mountain had arrived—Gold King, Wood King, Ice King, and Ti King!
Seeing these four Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, the other Pinnacle Dao Ancestors remained unafraid.
They numbered in the dozens, while Blackwind Mountain had only sent six Pinnacle Dao Ancestors in total. And with one of them already engaged in combat, there were rely five facing them, far from enough to pose a threat.
But just as these Pinnacle Dao Ancestors prepared to strike, two additional Forbidden Supre Treasures suddenly appeared.
“….”
Many of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors hesitated, but quickly made their decision.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! One by one, the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors departed, racing toward the newly appeared forbidden treasures.
After all, although so Dao Ancestors had their sights on the Forbidden Fire Lotus, it wasn’t necessarily suitable for them. And with so many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors vying for a single forbidden treasure—plus two Invincible Dao Ancestors fighting over it—their chances of success were slim.
Rather than competing for the Fire Lotus, it was better to go after the newly erged forbidden treasures.
In a flash, most of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors had left, leaving only three Pinnacle Dao Ancestors from Limitless Sky Sect and a few others. Even together, they couldn’t wrest away Fire King’s treasures.
Thus—
The five Kings of Blackwind Mountain guarded Fire King as they retreated unhurriedly, with the Forbidden Fire Lotus ending up in Blackwind Mountain’s hands.
As the six Kings of Blackwind Mountain exited the Firefla Forbidden Zone, Fire King expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, brothers, for coming to my aid!”
“You should be thanking Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire instead,” Ti King said. “For your sake, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire has revealed his existence. This isn’t good for Blackwind Mountain, as it will instantly make us a target of nurous major forces.”
Additionally, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire has advised us to withdraw from the Firefla Forbidden Zone imdiately and not to engage further. Even if rare treasures appear, we’re not to get involved.”
“Why?” Wind King asked, feeling dissatisfied.
He hadn’t gained anything this ti, and if he returned to slumber like this, it would be a huge loss! This was his second ergence, and if he were to return to slumber again, it would likely be a long, long ti before he could awaken once more.
“I’m not sure,” Ti King shook his head. “But Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire’s command is one we must follow. I have a guess—perhaps many Invincible Dao Ancestors will descend into the Firefla Forbidden Zone. If that happens, we could easily fall if we’re not careful. Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire is thinking of our safety; he doesn’t want us to be sacrificed.”
“Ah, let’s go back, then,” Wind King replied reluctantly.
One by one, Wind King, Fire King, Ti King, Gold King, Wood King, and Ice King returned to their small domain. There, they retreated into their slumbering chambers, choosing to rest rather than risk being tempted to return to the Firefla Forbidden Zone.
…
“What the—! A Forbidden Supre Treasure!” Ye Tian was stunned. Just by walking around, he had co across a forbidden treasure.
Could his luck really be this good? He had entered the Firefla Forbidden Zone this ti rely to obtain a few rare forbidden items, not intending to seek out any forbidden treasures.
He was well aware that many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors must have entered the Firefla Forbidden Zone by now, and possibly even Invincible Dao Ancestors. If he seized a forbidden treasure, it would be disastrous; he had no desire to experience the scene of being surrounded by Dao Ancestors.
But…
“A Forbidden Supre Treasure has delivered itself right to , and there aren’t even any other True Ancestors nearby. If I don’t take it, it would be simply unforgivable!” Ye Tian thought to himself.
So—
Ye Tian captured a dozen or so lava monsters, sending each one before the forbidden treasure, a rod-like pillar.
Boom! Boom! Boom! A dreadful force was triggered, eradicating the lava monsters one by one.
Only after nine lava monsters perished did the dreadful force fully dissipate.
One could only imagine the terrifying power the forbidden treasure had summoned. If Ye Tian had faced it directly, he would likely have perished as well.
“Ti to go!”
Ye Tian grabbed the long forbidden treasure rod and prepared to leave the area.
But just then, a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor arrived.
It was Dao Ancestor Tianxiu from the Myriad Domains Divine Hall. Sensing Ye Tian’s presence, he bellowed in fury, “General Nine Limits! Leave that behind!”
Dao Ancestor Tianxiu was outraged. Earlier, Blackwind Mountain’s Fire King had snatched the Forbidden Fire Lotus, and after finally sensing the aura of another forbidden treasure, it had been taken by yet another mber of Blackwind Mountain—the General Nine Limits.
“Damn it! Blackwind Mountain, you are far too arrogant!” Dao Ancestor Tianxiu roared.
He couldn’t kill Blackwind Mountain’s Fire King, but he could certainly kill a True Ancestor.
He knew that Ye Tian was one of Blackwind Mountain’s Supre True Ancestors. If he could kill Ye Tian, it would be as devastating to Blackwind Mountain as killing a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor.
Boom! Dao Ancestor Tianxiu unleashed a punch, bypassing the distance and landing directly upon Ye Tian.
“Great Desolate Dao Body!”
Ye Tian instantly summoned the Great Desolate Dao Body, a mid-tier Dao technique at the limit level, to defend against Dao Ancestor Tianxiu’s punch. Though it shattered, his Vajra Battle Body defensive Dao technique remained intact, and with the 60% Forbidden Body nullifying a portion of the impact, Ye Tian was completely unscathed.
“What? A limit-level Vajra Battle Body, limit-level Great Desolate Dao Body, and 60% Forbidden Body!” Dao Ancestor Tianxiu was stunned.
In such a short ti, Ye Tian had cultivated both his Vajra Battle Body and Great Desolate Dao Body to the limit level, and even enhanced his Forbidden Body to 60%. Such speed was terrifying! He had a fair understanding of Supre True Ancestors, but he had not expected anyone to be this monstrous!
What he couldn’t imagine was that Ye Tian had fused hundreds of Dao-level core talents, and with the assistance of seven Ancient Realm Records, his cultivation speed far surpassed anyone else’s…
Apart from Ouyang Jiu’er, the reincarnation of a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, no other Supre True Ancestor could match his progress.
“Myriad Fiends True Spear!” Ye Tian turned and retaliated with a strike.
Boom! The Myriad Fiends True Spear struck Dao Ancestor Tianxiu, blasting him back and even shattering one of his arms. A trickle of blood oozed from the wound.
Though Dao Ancestor Tianxiu’s injury healed in an instant, leaving no trace of harm—
He still gaped in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief.
“What a monster! Still at the True Ancestor level, yet already on par with an average Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor… so this is a Supre True Ancestor!” Dao Ancestor Tianxiu muttered in awe.
