The northern territory was rich in resources, and there were even terrifying creatures that had been in deep slumber since the primeval times. Since ancient times until now, it had always been a place where powerful figures gathered.
Origin Ancient Mine existed throughout endless time. The Dark Age, Desolate Age's great calamity, human race's great disaster, they all more or less had traces of it, leaving behind endless legends.
Ever since the beginning of the human race, it was unknown just how many unrivalled heroes had entered this place in their later years. Unfortunately, they had never returned, and no one had ever heard of them appearing in this world again.
A month after Ye Fan left, shocking news came from the Northern Region. The Sacred Lands had gone to explore an ancient temple in the Absolute Beginning Forbidden Land, but they had returned with heavy casualties.
The entire world was shocked. No one thought that the holy lands would dare to enter the absolute beginning forbidden area and engage in a bloody battle with an unknown creature inside an Archaic Divine Temple.
The Holy Lands could be said to be tight-lipped. Before this, not a single piece of information had been leaked. No one knew how long they had been preparing for, and it was only when the operation failed that everyone learned of it.
The people of the world were all shaken. The holy lands actually entered the absolute beginning forbidden region! This was just too sudden! They definitely discovered some heaven shocking secret, or else why would they take such risks!
The great earth was in an uproar. The people of the world were all discussing this. They discovered with shock that there had long been some clues regarding this matter.
A year ago, beautiful music sounded from the forbidden region of absolute beginning. Someone saw an exceptionally beautiful woman set out. This news shook the northern region and spread to many great sects.
It was also at that time that the world gathered in the northern region. Whether it was the younger generation or the supreme sect masters, they all started to head north.
Ye Fan clearly remembered that the Green Wyrm King had come to the Southern Domain to invite the Peacock King to the north. That was when all the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters had gone north.
"Right, so that's how it is!"
He suddenly realized that the Absolute Beginning Forbidden Area definitely had an incredible discovery. It really affected the minds of all the holy lands, and they actually spent a year to prepare.
Connecting the dots, everything made sense. It was why the northern region had been in such turmoil in the past year, and why all sorts of people had appeared, as if that place was the center of the world.
Inside the Absolute Beginning Forbidden Area, a world-shaking ancient temple appeared with the beautiful voice of a goddess. Unfortunately, the holy lands retreated in the end and couldn't get everything.
However, they must have gained a lot. After all, they had prepared for more than a year.
When Ye Fan found Ye Huiling, another shocking piece of news came from the Northern Region!
The appearance of the Ancient Sky-Devouring Devil Jar had been rumored for several months. Finally, the place where it was buried was found. As a result, the Catacombs were stained with blood, and countless powerhouses were killed or injured.
The sacred weapon of the ancient emperors attracted everyone's attention. Once this news spread, the world was shaken once again!
People had to wonder why it was such a coincidence that the lid of the Sky-Devouring Demonic Jar appeared right after the holy lands returned from the Absolute Beginning Forbidden Area.
Soon, the exact news came. Many of the Holy Lands' Grand Elders had been killed or injured, and the younger generation was almost completely wiped out.
It had long been rumored that opening Vicious' dojo required the Heavenly Beast Physique, Divine Physique, Saint Physique, and many other physiques to join forces and use their blood to perform a sacred sacrifice.
Today, it had indeed come true. All the kings rose up together and used their blood to open up the dojo of the number one ruthless ancient man. However, what awaited them was a merciless massacre.
The place where the ancient emperors hid their weapons was engraved with world-shaking runes. Even if you were a heaven-defying genius, you wouldn't be able to block a single strike. The runes could pierce through the heavens and earth, destroying everything in their path.
If it wasn't for the Green Flood Dragon King taking over the Azure Emperor's sacred weapon at the crucial moment and the seventh bandit Tu Tian attacking with the demonic jar, no one would have survived!
The whole world was shaken. The number one ruthless ancient man was indeed ruthless. He was ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to those who dared to offend him. He almost wiped out all the young elites of the Eastern Wasteland.
Ji Clan's Divine King Physique, Yan Ruyu, Jiang Clan's Divine King Physique, Heavenly Beast Physique, Innate Dao Embryo, Xia Jiuyou, Yao Guang Saint Child, and the others were all gravely injured.
"Too ruthless! He refined himself into a weapon and showed no mercy to his descendants. As expected of the number one ancient emperor who couldn't be provoked!"
"He created the Indestructible Heaven Art and created a divine embryo from his aged body. He refined his old body and was rumored to be the one who lived the longest among the ancient emperors."
When Ye Fan heard the news, the first thing he thought of was that it was a conspiracy!
This was because the Black Emperor, this knowledgeable fellow, had made all sorts of judgments and told him many secrets.
As expected, more accurate information came out. He found some clues that the Heavenly Beast Physique, Divine Physique, and Innate Dao Embryo were all trapped in the ruthless' training field. Their origin was almost taken away.
"This …"
It was just as the Black Emperor had said. The number one ruthless ancient man had an ordinary body, but he suppressed all the kings and finally became a peerless monarch. Before he created the Indestructible Heaven Art, he had also created the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art.
When he first mastered this technique, everyone in the world chased after him, because he could devour other people's source energy. Vicious had a narrow escape from death, and he had more enemies than Great Emperor Without Beginning.
These secrets had long disappeared in the long river of history. Only the Black Emperor remembered that almost no one in the world knew that the Indestructible Heaven Art's predecessor was the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art.
"Could it be as the Black Emperor said, that someone obtained the inheritance of the number one ruthless ancient man?" Ye Fan quivered and shivered.
In the distant Northern Region, the Black Emperor was flustered and exasperated. He shouted loudly and stared at the training field. He was about to go crazy and almost bit Pang Bo, Tu Fei, and Li Heishui.
At the crucial moment, he stopped Pang Bo and the others, preventing them from entering the Ruthless' training field and avoiding a great calamity.
However, the Black Emperor was furious because he discovered that someone had already visited the training field. The lid of the Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar must have been taken away.
The final result also proved his guess. When the calamity happened, many cultivators escaped with great difficulty. They did not obtain the half of the Extreme Dao Sacred Weapon and were almost all destroyed.
In addition, there was another person who was very calm and did not enter. That was the unscrupulous Daoist Duan De. When he arrived here, he was shocked at first, then he narrowed his eyes and did not take a step in.
When Ye Fan found out about all of this, he thought of the secret that the Black Emperor had told him. He felt that there was a terrifying person with a deep mind who had guided all of this.
"After obtaining the Ruthless' inheritance, he wants to get rid of the Divine Physique, Heavenly Demonic Physique, Innate Dao Embryo, and so on. Who could he be?"
Ye Fan thought of a person. If it was him, he was too gloomy and terrifying. He did not reveal himself, but every step he took was filled with killing intent, which made him feel a chill.
The two pieces of news from the Northern Region shocked the world. The great curtain slowly fell. The supreme sect masters, experts from all walks of life, and the saints all left and returned to various places in the Eastern Wasteland.
Under the moonlight, Ye Fan and Ye Huiling met. Everything went smoothly, and he borrowed the Sky Covering Treasured Robe.
Under the moonlight, the girl from the Middle Prefecture was bright and ethereal. Her skin was like fine jade, and her eyes were quick-witted. She was very calm. If Ye Fan succeeded in ascending a Sacred Mountain and returned with the immortal medicine, she wanted a fruit.
Ye Fan immediately agreed. If he really succeeded, then he would definitely ascend all of the sacred mountains. The nine divine roots were formed from a single main root.
"Miss Ye, please do me a favor. If I don't return, please take one person with you and take care of one person for me."
"Oh? Who?" Ye Huiling was surprised.
Ye Fan pointed at Zhang Wenchang in the tavern and said, "Take him away from this place and help him get rid of this environment."
Then, he pointed at the tavern. Little Nan Nan could be seen through the window. She was like a delicate porcelain doll with long eyelashes, and she was sleeping peacefully.
"Okay, no problem."
The next day, the morning glow rose, and the morning dew rolled on the green leaves, reflecting a rainbow of colors. Ye Fan stepped into the ancient forest and set out for the forbidden area.
Half a month had passed, and the people of the Ancient Hua Dynasty and the Yin Yang Sect had not left. They were still in the Yan Capital, but no one was looking at the forbidden area anymore.
Along the way, Ye Fan did not see a single person. He carefully avoided the areas where there might be peerless beasts, and arrived at the edge of the forbidden area.
The huge mountain forest was deathly silent. There was not a single sound, and there were no birds or beasts. There were no ants or insects. It was as if he had arrived at the end of the world.
"Bang!"
One of Ye Fan's feet finally stepped into the forbidden area, and he immediately felt a terrifying aura attacking him.
This was … the power of desolation!
The last time he walked to the Nine Sacred Mountains, it was the same. Today, he was attacked like this as soon as he took a step in. He felt cold all over.
At this crucial moment, Stone Clothes appeared on his body, covering the sky and covering his body, protecting him tightly. He walked inside with large steps.
"Swoosh!"
The moment he entered, even with the peerless stone clothes covering his body, Ye Fan still shivered. His cultivation had been wiped clean, and nothing was left.
In this forbidden area, he had become a mortal, and he could no longer fly in the sky or burrow underground. However, unlike others, his Sea of Reincarnation had not dried up, his Dao Palace had gone dark, and his four poles had been sealed. His divine power had not disappeared, but it had been sealed inside his body.
The physique of a Saint Physique was extremely powerful. His golden blood energy was still boiling, and it could rush out at any time. This was the reason why Ye Fan dared to enter the forbidden area.
Ye Fan strode forward, and soon, he had traveled tens of miles. He sensed something strange. The power of time seeped into his body through the stone clothes.
"Not good!"
His heart trembled, and his expression changed. This was only one-tenth of the journey, and it was already so dangerous. No wonder the supreme Emperor of the Middle Continent had to die with a grievance.
"Chi!"
Ye Fan activated his Heaven Origin Pattern Channel. Tens of thousands of divine runes overflowed with brilliant colors, and they wrapped around him. At the same time, the Sky Shrouding Treasured Robe shone brightly, covering him.
He looked up at the sky. There was no way out now, or else he would die within half a year. Although entering the forbidden area was like entering a bottomless abyss, it might be the only way out.
Inside the forbidden area, ancient trees towered into the sky. Their branches were like the palms of giants, and they were almost at the same level as the mountain ridges.
Old vines were as thick as water tanks, and they wriggled about like true dragons. They coiled from the foot of the mountain all the way to the summit, bold and powerful.
Along the way, Ye Fan saw countless spiritual medicines. They were all rarely seen in this world, and they were all extremely ancient medicines. However, he didn't have the time to pick them.
He was squandering his life away every minute and second. It wasn't worth it to stop here. Right now, only undying divine medicines were useful to him.
After advancing for thirty li, the Sky Shrouding Treasured Robe dimmed. The dao patterns within it had been severed!
The material of this robe was unknown, but it was even sturdier than divine iron. It fell from the heavens and was refined into a precious robe. It was indestructible, and it could isolate all auras. That was why it was known as the Sky Shrouding Treasured Robe.
However, right now, it couldn't withstand Desolate's invasion. Its dao patterns were erased, and the treasured robe only had a sturdy nature left. Its dao and reasoning, as well as techniques, had all been stripped away.
Ye Fan moved as if he was flying, advancing with extreme speed. In front of him was an abyss, and behind him was hell. There was no pure land. He could only save himself and open up a path of life.
"Bo!"
The Heaven Resentment Patterns in the robe began to break, unable to hold on any longer. Tens of thousands of patterns were severed in the blink of an eye, and soon, all of them would disappear.
"Dao Scripture!"
Ye Fan activated the Dao Scripture's heart sutra. Nine ancient words appeared on the robe, suppressing his body to achieve eternity and resist the power of time.
As expected of the innate great emperor's patterns, they blocked the invasion. He temporarily calmed down, and his life wasn't taken away.
However, there were only nine ancient words. Although he could carve them, he couldn't even understand their meaning, so how could he comprehend the ultimate mystery?
After advancing for another sixty li, the nine ancient words gradually faded away. Together with the Heaven Origin Pattern, they were about to disappear.
"This is only sixty li, but it's already countless times harder than last time!"
Ye Fan's heart pounded. If this continued, he would undoubtedly die. There was no way out, and Desolate's aura would become even stronger.
He gritted his teeth and rushed past mountain after mountain. By the time he reached seventy li, he had already aged. At this time, the nine ancient words and the Heaven Origin Pattern had all disappeared.
Now, only the empty robe and the Heaven Enveloping Treasured Robe were left. There were no more Dao, principles, or techniques to protect them.
Ye Fan didn't panic. He took out the qilin seed and held it in his hand. As he absorbed its essence energy, he ran madly, using the immortal divine medicine to prolong his life and charge into the final stretch.
However, this last stretch was extremely difficult. Even though the divine medicine could prolong his life, he was still aging. Even his Great Dao injuries were worsening.
Finally, after charging for a hundred li, Ye Fan saw the nine sacred mountains. However, the corrosion of time had seeped into his bones, and his consciousness was becoming blurry.
He gritted his teeth and finally reached the foot of the mountain. However, his strength was almost exhausted.
At the same time, his hair stood on end. On the sacred mountain, several figures stood side by side, looking down at him with cold gazes. He felt a chill from head to toe!
