A group descended upon this mountain range.
Among them were, remarkably, Ancient Luo King, Jian Tian, Tuoba Mo, and a batch of super Heaven's Prides from various royal clans, totaling six people—precisely the six who had once joined forces to deal with Ye Chen.
They landed in the mountain range and found it completely clear.
Ancient Luo King frowned and said, "According to information obtained from hunting a Chaos Pure Land ancient beast, this mountain range is perpetually shrouded in chaos mist, concealing a mysterious immortal cave within. Primordial Immortal Light often erupts from it, offering great benefits for refining one's Inner World. But why is there not a trace of chaos mist to be found now?"
The super Heaven's Prides from the various royal clans all felt suspicious and puzzled. They swiftly traversed the firmament and descended into the valley at the center of the mountain range. There, they indeed discovered a cave, from which wisps of brilliant immortal light were erupting—this was unmistakably Primordial Immortal Light, containing Primordial power.
"That's right, Primordial Immortal Light is indeed erupting. This should be that Primordial Immortal Cave, only without the chaos mist."
"Huh? It's not as intense as imagined; it appears very sparse and weak. What's going on?"
"Could that ancient beast have deceived us?"
"How could it deceive us? We learned this from searching its divine soul memories. It just doesn't match the beast's memories."
The Heaven's Prides from the various royal clans were all somewhat startled and puzzled, feeling that this did not align with the facts at all.
"Within the Primordial Immortal Cave, there is also a Primordial Immortal Pool and a Primordial Divine Tree, bearing Primordial Immortal Fruits. Consuming them could allow us to comprehend Primordial power, enhance our cultivation, further refine our Inner Worlds, and perhaps even have a sliver of a chance to evolve it into an Origin World," Jian Tian also said.
Primordial power was far too important for the Inner World and Origin World, possessing unimaginable wondrous uses.
"Let's go in and take a look quickly."
The super Heaven's Prides from the various royal clans all intended to enter. However, at this moment, a figure emerged. Clad in a black robe, appearing mysterious, it appeared before them.
This sudden scene caused the expressions of the super Heaven's Prides from the various royal clans to change slightly. Then, as if thinking of something, their faces immediately darkened as they spoke to the black-robed figure: "Who are you? Why have you entered the Primordial Immortal Cave? And have you obtained the Primordial Immortal Fruits?"
The black-robed figure merely swept a faint glance over the six of them and said indifferently, "No comment."
"No comment?" Jian Tian's face turned cold as he said icily, "In that case, we can only make you stay."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Beside him, the other five royal clan Heaven's Prides instantly arrived through the air, immediately surrounding and trapping the black-robed figure before them.
"Attack!"
Among them, Ancient Luo King alone made a move. Countless sharp blade energies manifested in the void, easily tearing through space. Thousands upon thousands of blade energies appeared, densely packed, all rushing toward the black-robed figure.
"Still this move? Truly showing no improvement."
From beneath the black robe, a voice tinged with disdain slowly emerged. Then, an invisible ripple fluctuation spread out. Visible to the naked eye, Ancient Luo King's thousands of blade energies disintegrated into nothingness, utterly annihilated.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this scene, everyone was startled. Clearly, they hadn't expected Ancient Luo King's technique to be so effortlessly and casually broken by the other party.
Ancient Luo King was the same. Moreover, he frowned, vaguely feeling that this scene seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but for a moment, he couldn't recall.
He drew the battle blade from his back and, with a swish, slashed out a fearsome blade aura that spanned the heavens and earth for a thousand li. Vast and mighty, it tore through the firmament, slashing down toward the black-robed figure below.
"Ancient Luo King, be careful of the Primordial Immortal Cave," the other royal clan super Heaven's Prides beside him spoke up.
"Don't worry, I know my limits," Ancient Luo King said.
Under the thousand-li blade aura, everything was destroyed. This mountain range was also cleaved, leaving a massive thousand-li-long chasm. Only the area around the Primordial Immortal Cave remained completely unharmed.
That black-robed figure was also gone, as if it too had been utterly extinguished with the fall of this blade, body and soul annihilated, ceasing to exist.
Putting away his battle blade, Ancient Luo King said indifferently, "An ignorant junior dares to speak like this. Does he really think he's Ye Tianchen?"
Among the younger generation, he was a super Heaven's Pride ranked within the top hundred of the Earth Ranking. If not invincible among his peers, he was nearly so. Unless he encountered terrifying powerhouses of the level of Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters, he feared nothing.
Only when facing Ye Tianchen back then had he felt powerless.
"Is that so?"
Silently, a voice abruptly appeared behind him.
This caused the expressions of the six royal clan Heaven's Prides to change drastically in an instant. They abruptly turned around and suddenly discovered that right behind them, a black-robed figure had appeared at some unknown time.
Even they were completely unable to sense it, as if it had emerged from nothingness in an instant, making them shudder with terror.
At the same time, a hand slowly reached out. It seemed slow, but before Ancient Luo King could even react, it grasped his slender neck and lifted him up gently.
Visible to the naked eye, Ancient Luo King—a super Heaven's Pride with powerful cultivation, ranked within the top hundred of the Earth Ranking—was actually like a chick before this mysterious black-robed figure, utterly powerless to resist, easily lifted up.
Moreover, the instant he was lifted, Ancient Luo King was even more horrified to feel that all the divine power within his body and even his divine soul seemed to be instantly immobilized. No matter how he tried to activate them, it was useless.
This feeling was as if he were an ant, and the other party was a dragon soaring through the nine heavens—a world of difference.
"You—who are you—" Ancient Luo King's gaze held terror as he arduously managed to ask.
"Who I am, haven't you guessed?" the black-robed figure sneered.
"Guessed?" Ancient Luo King was momentarily stunned, but soon, he reacted. His cold, stern face was completely enveloped by an expression called terror. His eyes widened, filled with disbelief. "No, that's impossible. He clearly died."
The other royal clan Heaven's Prides also did not immediately attack, similarly stunned by the black-robed figure's identity. Because through his earlier dialogue with Ancient Luo King, they had suddenly thought of a person—a terrifying existence who had once caused heavy losses to various major forces and nearly dragged the old antiques of four royal clans to their deaths alongside him.
"Died? Heh heh—"
With his other hand, the black-robed figure slowly pulled down the black robe covering his head, revealing a handsome and elegant face. Sword-like brows, starry eyes, a prominent forehead, heroic and divine—who else could it be but Ye Chen?
