Ye Tian didn’t want to engage in a fight with those three Divine Generals. A disturbance would hinder his cultivation in the Ancient Demon Cave. Therefore, he needed to obtain an Ancient Demon Token.
Although Ancient Demon Tokens were rare, they weren’t impossibly scarce. The Fourth True Self had already located a Human Venerable who possessed one. With the strength of the Fourth True Self now comparable to a seven-star Earthly Venerable, killing that Human Venerable and seizing the Ancient Demon Token would be a simple task.
While it might seem unfair to kill that person, Ye Tian wasn’t a moralist. When it ca to opportunities, he never hesitated.
Moreover, the Eternal Universe and the Cangyu Universe were currently in an antagonistic relationship, constantly engaging in small-scale conflicts. Countless strong individuals had fallen, even many mbers of the Tian Pavilion who entered the Cangyu Universe had perished.
Therefore, killing a Human Venerable from the Cangyu Universe wasn’t a big deal.
At this mont, Ye Tian was waiting for the Fourth True Self to deliver the Ancient Demon Token. Once he had the token, he could refine it and openly enter the Ancient Demon Cave.
Ti passed slowly, and before long, the Fourth True Self arrived.
The Fourth True Self handed the Ancient Demon Token to Ye Tian and then departed once more.
With the token in hand, Ye Tian began the refining process, easily completing it.
In reality, the Ancient Demon Token wasn’t particularly special. It was rely a sturdy token inscribed with so rule patterns and several Divine General-level auras, making it difficult for even other Divine Generals to forge.
It was just a credential; besides allowing entry into the Ancient Demon Cave, it had no other use.
After refining the Ancient Demon Token, Ye Tian flew towards the Ancient Demon Cave, concealing his aura. He even used the Heaven Concealing Stone to shield himself and his connection to the Eternal Universe, masking his causality.
This way, even Divine General-level beings wouldn’t be able to discern his identity. Otherwise, with his aura full of the Eternal Universe’s essence, he would definitely be discovered. Even with the Ancient Demon Token, those three Divine Generals wouldn’t allow him to enter the cave.
Ensuring everything was foolproof, Ye Tian arrived at the Ancient Demon Cave.
Although the three Divine Generals guarded the cave, they too needed to cultivate and didn’t manage the cave’s entry affairs. The actual control over the cave’s entry and exit was held by a ten-star Earthly Venerable.
This ten-star Earthly Venerable, who sat cross-legged at the cave’s entrance, was a renowned figure in the Cangyu Universe—Earthly Venerable Golden Saber. Ye Tian, hiding his aura to only reveal the strength of an ordinary Earthly Venerable, was rely glanced at by Earthly Venerable Golden Saber, who then said, “Ancient Demon Token!”
Ye Tian presented the token and handed it to Earthly Venerable Golden Saber before entering the cave.
An Ancient Demon Token allowed only one entry into the cave. Once outside, another token would be needed for the next entry.
Because of this, the major Holy Lands made a fortune just by collecting entrance fees.
Inside the Ancient Demon Cave.
As soon as Ye Tian stepped in, he felt an extrely dense ancient demon yuan qi. This ancient demon yuan qi surged into his body, eager to temper his physique.
“Ancient demon yuan qi, a special kind of yuan qi ford by combining yuan qi and ancient demon aura. For body refinent, it’s even better than chaos yuan qi by several degrees.
Moreover, the ancient demon yuan qi here is incredibly dense. This is indeed a great place for body refinent!” Ye Tian thought to himself.
Despite being called a cave, the Ancient Demon Cave was actually vast, like a large world. At its center stood a black Ancient Demon Tower, exuding a terrifying aura that pierced through the void, with the imnse power of rules connecting the entire cave.
“Let’s not go to the Ancient Demon Tower for now. I’ll find a spot to cultivate here first. Once I’ve absorbed a large amount of ancient demon yuan qi and stayed here for a while, my aura will beco that of the Cangyu Universe. If I have to fight, even with the Heaven Concealing Stone, I wouldn’t be able to hide my Eternal Universe aura!” Ye Tian thought.
After all, this place was excellent for cultivation, perfect for practicing the Profound Void Technique, without wasting any ti.
The Ancient Demon Cave was vast, but there weren’t many cultivators here.
Although there were many cultivators from the Holy Lands, even Holy Land disciples had to pay a price to enter the Ancient Demon Cave. Moreover, the Cangyu Universe, like the Eternal Universe, was in the thirteenth cosmic era, where body refinent was suppressed. Unless one was an Earthly Venerable, it was challenging to enhance one’s physical strength.
The greatest opportunity in the Ancient Demon Cave was the Ancient Demon Tower. However, challenging the tower was difficult, and without sufficient strength, it was impossible to pass.
Many Earthly Venerables had visited the cave, but they wouldn’t return in a short period.
Besides, the Cangyu Universe was full of opportunities; the Ancient Demon Cave was just one of many and couldn’t attract everyone.
Thus, there weren’t many Earthly Venerables in the Ancient Demon Cave.
Ye Tian casually found a place, took out a palace, and began his secluded cultivation there.
With the assistance of abundant ancient demon yuan qi and nurous spiritual herbs, the third layer of Ye Tian’s Profound Void Technique slowly progressed from the beginner stage to the minor accomplishnt realm. His physical strength also gradually improved.
In the blink of an eye, several thousand years had passed.
Ye Tian remained in seclusion, while significant events occurred in both the Eternal Universe and the Cangyu Universe.
In the Eternal Universe.
The Holy Land of the Stone Dragon faced a major crisis. Three strong individuals clad in black robes invaded the Stone Dragon Holy Land, causing the fall of many Earthly Venerables. None of the Earthly Venerables were a match for them, and the entire sacred land was breached.
“Who are you?”
Holy Lord Stone Dragon appeared, roaring in anger.
Holy Lord Stone Dragon was once Stone Dragon Supre. His strength had further advanced, now reaching the pinnacle of a ten-star Earthly Venerable, not far from the ultimate ten-star Earthly Venerable.
However, without reaching the Divine General level, he couldn’t be considered a true powerhouse in the dual universe era, constantly facing the threat of falling.
Previously, Divine General Xulong had fallen in the Eternal Universe. Many Earthly Venerables believed that the Divine Generals of the Cangyu Universe wouldn’t dare to recklessly start a war with the Eternal Universe for tens of thousands of years.
But now, these three had invaded the Stone Dragon Holy Land, leading Holy Lord Stone Dragon to speculate that they were powerhouses from the Cangyu Universe.
“I am Zhang Ling, a mber of the Hidden God Organization. Holy Lord Stone Dragon, you once hunted down the reincarnators of our Hidden God Organization, and one of them even died at your hands.
Hmph, the fact that you’ve survived to this era is a chance given by our Supre Lord. I didn’t expect you to dare hunt our reincarnators; you’re courting death!” Zhang Ling roared.
He wasn’t avenging that reincarnator but was rely trying to assert his dominance. He didn’t dare confront the Master of the Primordial Era, who had also beco a Divine General, commanding many Earthly Venerables with a vast influence.
Having just ascended to the Divine General level, Zhang Ling had limited strength and few subordinates, so he targeted Holy Lord Stone Dragon instead.
“What? The Hidden God Organization!” Holy Lord Stone Dragon’s face changed dramatically.
In the dual universe era, the two universes competed and fought, nearly forgetting the Hidden God Organization. Now he truly understood that the Hidden God Organization was the greatest threat of the dual universe era.
Previously, those reincarnators were too weak, but now, these reincarnators were likely all above ten-star Earthly Venerable, with even Divine General-level powerhouses erging.
“Divine General Primordial Era, there are strong mbers of the Hidden God Organization attacking !”
Holy Lord Stone Dragon sent a ssage to Divine General Primordial Era.
At this mont, Zhang Ling noticed and imdiately attacked without hesitation.
With one strike, the body of Holy Lord Stone Dragon was pierced, sending him flying billions of miles, and the entire sacred land was completely destroyed.
Another strike landed, further injuring Holy Lord Stone Dragon.
“One-star Divine General!!!”
Holy Lord Stone Dragon realized he couldn’t wait for Divine General Primordial Era’s rescue.
In the next mont.
With a hint of pain in his eyes, Holy Lord Stone Dragon took out a wooden token and activated it, disappearing instantly.
“What, he escaped?” Zhang Ling was furious.
His carelessness allowed Holy Lord Stone Dragon to escape. It must have been a life-saving treasure, teleporting him away instantly, beyond Zhang Ling’s ability to stop.
“Damn it, if I had prepared a treasure to seal ti and space, he wouldn’t have escaped!” Zhang Ling shouted in anger.
He had underestimated Holy Lord Stone Dragon, believing that with his one-star Divine General strength, he could kill a ten-star Earthly Venerable in just a few moves. He didn’t expect Holy Lord Stone Dragon to use his strongest life-saving item so decisively.
