Just as in the original storyline, Pang Bo was captured by the elder of Spirit Ruins Cave.
Faced with the treasures left behind by the last great emperor of the Eastern Wilderness, no one could remain indifferent—be they human or demon, all were on high alert at this moment.
The two races, demons and humans, were already at odds with each other.
As long as there was a 'malicious actor' present, it would be easy to incite conflict between the two opposing races.
"Swish!"
A Divine Rainbow shot up into the sky. In just a few breaths, the elder Wu Qingfeng from Spirit Ruins Cave had landed on the mountain where Ye Kai was located, placing Pang Bo not far from him. He then rushed off to join others and headed toward the volcano.
Ye Fan observed from his hiding place for a moment before quickly running over.
At this moment, Pang Bo had been sealed by several elders from Spirit Ruins Cave. His eyes were tightly shut, his body stiff and immobile. A strange green aura surrounded him, and his complexion was abnormal. Dim green Radiance flowed slowly beneath his skin.
"What exactly has entered his body?" Ye Fan dared not touch Pang Bo carelessly; after all, he was sealed by several elders, and Divine Power was fluctuating around him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch him!"
Ye Kai lightly landed on the ground, hands behind his back as he gazed at the tense standoff between humans and demons in the distance.
"Who are you?!" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise, springing up with a wary shout.
Still clad in a Purple Gold Robe and maintaining an indifferent expression, Ye Kai did not underestimate this young man who was destined to shake the Veil of the World; it was just that he was still too inexperienced. Nevertheless, he cast a glance and slowly uttered two words: "Ye Kai!"
"Ye Kai?!"
"Yes!"
Ye Fan's brows were furrowed with confusion. "What do you mean by not letting me touch him just now?"
"Just what it says on the surface."
"Uh..." Ye Fan rubbed his nose, feeling extremely frustrated.
He never expected to encounter someone with the same surname, and this person’s cultivation level was far superior to his own. Yet, the cold demeanor was truly infuriating.
"Boom!!!"
At that moment, in front of the resplendent hall, several Great Demons and powerful figures from Spirit Ruins Cave launched a combined attack. The Purple Copper Furnace, Golden Sword, Bagua Mirror, and Jiao Lin Blade all struck the Ancient Hall's door simultaneously, finally shaking it and creating a gap amid the rumbling sounds.
Suddenly, an ancient aura surged forth, and a powerful wave of life energy swept over like a raging sea, instantly sending everyone outside flying.
"Ah ah ah..."
However, at that moment, an elder from Spirit Ruins Cave was pulled close by several Great Demons and was immediately shattered, blood splattering into the air.
The purple copper furnace flew out, releasing a dazzling light that instantly captured a ten-meter-tall Great Demon within it. With a thunderous roar, the Great Demon was reduced to ashes and expelled.
"Boom!!!"
The purple divine fire surged again, capturing two more Great Demons. In an instant, heart-wrenching screams echoed from within the copper furnace. Watching this scene, Ye Kai sighed softly; this was the power of magical treasures!
Two already formidable Great Demons were melted alive in an instant.
"What a pity for those experimental materials. If we could obtain their genes, perhaps we could cultivate a batch of cannon fodder!" Ye Kai sighed again, and his eyes seemed to reveal a hint of dissatisfaction towards the people of Spirit Ruins Cave.
As Ye Fan gazed at the unprecedented scene before him, a wave of fear washed over him. The brutal fighting was truly terrifying, and as a modern person, he found it hard to accept. He seriously contemplated whether being a cultivator held any meaning or value.
However, when he heard the mysterious figure beside him mention "experimental material" and "genes," his eyes widened in disbelief, and he stammered, "Y-you..."
Ye Kai turned back with a hint of annoyance and shot him a glare. "What do you mean, 'you'?"
"Are you from Earth?" Ye Fan's face flushed.
He never expected to encounter an Earthling in a world light-years away from the Solar System!
"Huh?!"
Ye Kai spoke as if it were obvious. "Of course—" Suddenly, he turned sharply, his expression serious as he coldly asked, "Do you know about Earth? Who are you? How do you know about Earth? Did someone tell you?"
"My name is Ye Fan. I'm from Earth, brought here near Mount Tai Fengshan Platform by the Nine Dragons Coffin."
Seeing the excitement mixed with a hint of something unusual in Ye Kai's demeanor, Ye Fan realized that despite their shared origin, caution was still paramount.
"So you're the one who fell into the Ancient Forbidden Land with the Nine Dragons Coffin..."
At this point, Ye Kai's mind suddenly sparked with an idea. Perhaps he could explore the Ancient Forbidden Land; with a deity present, it might not be too dangerous...
Meanwhile, on the volcano, fierce battles erupted between the dozen Fierce Birds and the elders of Spirit Ruins Cave, equally brutal and merciless.
One particularly ferocious beast with wide jaws and sharp fangs, covered in half-foot-long fur, tore an elder apart on the spot. Blood splattered everywhere as the dismembered body fell, a sight too horrific to behold.
The air was filled with radiant treasures emitting brilliance—thousands of bolts of lightning clashed with golden feathers and divine swords, unleashing waves of astonishing energy.
In just half an hour, this area had truly become a Death Zone, littered with severed limbs and drenched in blood.
The battle was filled with brutality and slaughter, with both humans and demons suffering casualties. At this moment, they were all fighting for their lives, each one eager to rush into the Demon Emperor's Tomb to seize great opportunities.
"Is this the life of a cultivator..." Ye Fan murmured to himself, feeling unsettled. It was completely different from the carefree existence he had imagined, soaring through the skies.
"Perhaps different cultivators have different paths," he thought, his gaze becoming clear and resolute. "Since I have chosen this road, I must walk it step by step. My fate cannot be controlled by others; I must grow stronger..."
Having witnessed Ye Fan's first transformation of character, Ye Kai couldn't help but exclaim, "You are quite remarkable, with extraordinary talent. As long as you persevere, nothing can overshadow you..."
"Uh, Senior..."
Before Ye Fan could finish his sentence, a series of hissing sounds interrupted him.
Beams of light surged from Pang Bo's body as the Dao Pattern seals laid down by Elder Wu Qingfeng of the Spirit Ruins Cave burst open completely.
The seals had been lifted...
Ye Kai activated a scan with his divine senses. After all, the strange runes on Pang Bo's surface resembled characters that looked like Dragon and Phoenix, or like the Black Tortoise, and some even resembled the winding form of a Teng Snake. They appeared similar to the demonic script found in fantasy tales.
This was indeed a treasure!
As for whether Pang Bo would launch a surprise attack on him and Ye Fan, that was not even worth considering.
At that moment, Pang Bo, who had been repeatedly raising and lowering his hand while displaying a fierce expression, stopped glaring at Ye Fan. Instead, he cast a wary glance at Ye Kai, then turned to face the volcano, muttering hoarsely to himself, "I only let you seal me on purpose..."
As this fellow transformed into an astonishing green light and rushed into the great hall, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in Ye Kai's eyes. The thing he had been waiting for was finally about to emerge.
Indeed, with a flash of blue light, Pang Bo stumbled out of the main hall, and then, in a fit of rage, he vented his anger by sending several Ancient Corpses flying, landing not far in front of Ye Kai.
“Boom!!!”
Ye Kai's entire body erupted with energy, and a black hole about fifty meters in diameter appeared. All the Ancient Corpses that came crashing toward him were instantly torn to shreds by countless terrifying and bizarre forces upon contact.
In an instant, dazzling Radiance shot up, the brilliance so intense that he could hardly open his eyes.
Before him lay a golden sheet of paper, shimmering with endless divine light, resplendent and captivating.
This golden sheet was heavier than metal, covered with countless ancient characters so densely packed that they were nearly impossible to read. Each character sparkled like a star, Radiance dazzling.
At this moment, both Ye Kai and Ye Fan felt their hearts racing wildly, a sense of dryness creeping into their throats.
However, facing such a treasure, Ye Kai thought it best to secure it first.
After all, this was the golden book of the Taoist Scripture!
An unparalleled manual for cultivation…
