The mountain where the Ancient Heaven Demon Python resided was incomparably steep and massive. However, there weren’t any other fierce beasts living nearby. This was the Ancient Heaven Demon Python’s territory, and no other creatures dared to approach.

Following the intense energy fluctuations faintly emanating from within the mountain, Wei Yang and his group soon located the Ancient Heaven Demon Python’s nest.

The lair was situated deep within the heart of the mountain. Inside, it was cold, damp, and littered with piles of white bones—among them, even some human skeletons. No one knew which unfortunate souls had become the python’s food.

Frowning, the group stepped over the small hills of bones, finally halting at the end of the cave. Before them was a field of jagged scarlet rocks. At the center of the rocky ground was a pool roughly ten zhang wide.

The pool was filled with thick, crimson liquid. Every so often, bubbles rose from the blood pool and burst, releasing waves of extremely dense energy that spread outward.

On the surface of the pool floated several unknown beast bones. Judging from the scene, it seemed that the ferocious Ancient Heaven Demon Python had thrown entire creatures directly into it.

”So this is the Heaven Demon Blood Pool!” As they looked at the blood-red pool that made their scalps tingle, everyone couldn’t help but frown again.

It was disgustingly bloody.

”Yeah, this should be it.” Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

Within this blood pool, he could sense an incredibly dense and violent energy. It seemed that the Ancient Heaven Demon Python had gone to great lengths and expense to create it. Unfortunately for it, all of this was now going to benefit Xiao Yan.

”I might need to stay here for two or three days, so I’ll have to trouble everyone to wait a bit,” Xiao Yan said with a smile.

The group chuckled lightly.

”This energy is so violent. If you just jump in to absorb it directly, won’t something go wrong?” Medusa asked, her brows furrowed as she looked at the crimson pool.

”Hehe, don’t worry. Although the energy inside is wild, it’s not beyond what I can handle. With my physical strength, I’m not inferior to a magic beast,” Xiao Yan replied with a confident smile.

”Then stay and absorb slowly. We’ll wait outside,” Wei Yang nodded, leading the group to slowly retreat from the cave.

Watching everyone leave, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. He turned around, his expression growing solemn as he stared at the blood pool before him.

The energy within was far more violent and concentrated than he had imagined. Who knew what kind of things that python had thrown in there?

”My body is already strong, and after cultivating the King Kong Glass Body, it’s even tougher. I refuse to believe I can’t handle this Heaven Demon Blood Pool!”

Muttering to himself at the pool’s edge, Xiao Yan let out a low laugh. Then, without further hesitation, he tapped his toes against the ground and leapt into the air. With a loud splash, his entire body plunged into the blood pool.

Pshhh~

As Xiao Yan entered the pool, the previously still Heaven Demon Blood Pool instantly boiled over. Countless blood bubbles surged upward, bursting one after another.

Wild, violent energy howled within the pool, and faintly, there came a deep, thunder-like rumble echoing in the cave. Pain—sharp, searing pain—pierced to the bone.

Three days later.

Boom!

Inside the cavern, a golden giant—standing nine zhang and nine chi tall, its entire body appearing as if forged from pure gold—stood upright in midair. An indomitable, crushing aura burst forth from its body. Then, the golden giant bent its knees slightly—before stomping down hard.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

That single stomp sent the ground below caving in more than ten meters, and like a cannon shell fired from a barrel, the golden giant shot upward, slamming into the ceiling of the cave.

In an instant, terrifying force blasted through solid rock, carving out a massive tunnel straight through the mountain. Like a burrowing pangolin, the golden giant streaked upward with blinding speed, heading straight for the mountain peak.

Boom!

The golden figure moved with astonishing swiftness. In less than half a minute, the entire mountain was pierced through, leaving behind a vertical tunnel reaching from the depths to the summit.

Finally, with a thunderous crash, the golden giant burst through the mountaintop and emerged into the open sky.

Roar~

The golden giant tilted its head back and let out a low, earth-shattering roar that echoed far and wide.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Wei Yang and the others soared into the air, their figures flickering as they looked up at the golden figure in the sky. Smiles appeared across their faces.

”His aura has grown significantly. Not only has he cultivated the King Kong Glass Body to completion, but he even managed to break through to the second transformation. Not bad.” Wei Yang nodded approvingly.

”Hehe, truly worthy of being the disciple of Saint Yao. Young Pavilion Master Xiao’s cultivation speed is simply astonishing.” An elderly woman from the Flower Sect sighed softly in admiration.

Both of Yao Chen’s direct disciples were extraordinary — genuine monsters among men. Wei Yang had already reached the Ban Sheng Realm, and now it seemed Xiao Yan wasn’t far behind.

”Yes, indeed.” The Elders of the Flower Sect nodded one after another, their tones filled with genuine amazement despite the trace of flattery in their voices.

Thinking back, more than three years ago when they had first met Xiao Yan, he had only been a Four- or Five-Star Dou Zun. Yet now, in just the blink of an eye, he had already reached the Two-Change. That cultivation speed was simply unbelievable.

—Two days later—

Wei Yang’s group gradually approached the central region of the Ancient Wasteland Region, nearing the area where the Ancient Region Stage was located. It was said that in ancient times, this place had once been a vast battlefield. Countless powerful experts had fought and fallen here.

Because of that, a faint and mysterious oppressive force lingered in this region. It was precisely due to this ancient pressure that this area became the only place in the Ancient Wasteland Region where even ferocious beasts dared not tread.

Additionally, the Ancient Region Stage lay at the boundary between the central and deeper regions of the Ancient Wasteland Region.

From here, one could directly enter the deeper parts of the domain. As a result, this location had been unanimously chosen by various factions as the safest resting point within the Ancient Wasteland Region.

When Wei Yang and the others came within ten li of the Ancient Region Stage, they gradually slowed their pace. After flying for another ten minutes, a massive and ancient-looking plaza suddenly appeared in their line of sight.

Seeing such an enormous square suddenly emerge in this wild and desolate land, Wei Yang and the others were momentarily taken aback.

When their eyes swept across the dense crowd gathered upon the plaza, realization dawned — they had finally arrived at the Ancient Region Stage. Seeing so many powerful experts gathered in one place, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

After all, the Ancient Wasteland Region was teeming with dangerous beasts, and this was the first time since they’d entered that they’d seen so many humans gathered together. The sight brought a rare sense of security.

In just a blink, they closed the remaining distance.

Soon, as Wei Yang’s group approached the massive plaza, they slowly descended. Their arrival drew a few curious glances, but those gazes quickly turned away.

During this period, groups of cultivators had been arriving from all directions, converging on this spot. So, newcomers were nothing out of the ordinary.

Besides, the strength of this group seemed formidable — not the kind of people to provoke lightly. It was best to mind one’s own business to avoid unnecessary trouble.

”These people carry a strong scent of blood. Looks like they’ve been through plenty of battles along the way,” Wei Yang observed calmly as he walked across the plaza.

His eyes swept across the scattered clusters of people standing in small groups throughout the square. Each one of them shared the same characteristic — the faint yet unmistakable stench of blood. It wasn’t human blood — it was the scent of beasts.

It seemed that everyone who had managed to survive the perils of the Ancient Wasteland Region and reach this place had real skill. Wei Yang led the group straight toward the center of the plaza without stopping to rest or linger.
