Chapter 483: Chapter 483: A Million Years Layout

Inside the Cloud Mark Cave in the Divine Land.

Ye Yun had once seen one of the Eight Great Black Dragon Kings, who served under the Dark Heavenly Dragon of the Ancient Times, when he broke the restrictions around the Black Stone Treasury. Of course, that was merely a wisp of the Black Dragon King’s will.

From the Black Dragon King’s description, Ye Yun learned that after the incident with the Moon Star, the Dark Heavenly Dragon of the Sumeru Dark Realm had led all its clan members in an all-out assault on the Divine Land. There, they engaged the three Divine Kings in a world-shaking battle. Later, one of the Divine Kings used the Blood-colored Broken Sword, which sealed the Ancestor Dragon, to sever one of the Dark Heavenly Dragon’s claws. The Dark Heavenly Dragon fled, wounded, and vanished without a trace.

According to the Black Dragon King, the Sumeru Dark Realm should have been empty. So why were spirits invading now?

When the spirits invaded, the Taixu Ancient Dragon had led a large army to fight them, resulting in a fierce battle. The Bone Dragon in the great lake had perished in that battle.

Why would this Taixu Blood Spirit Dragon, which supposedly died in the Sumeru Dark Realm, appear in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land? This puzzled Ye Yun profoundly.

There were significant differences between the Nether Immortal Ancient Land and the Sumeru Dark Realm. In terms of sheer size, the small Nether Immortal Ancient Land couldn’t compare to the vast Sumeru Dark Realm.

At this moment, Ye Yun thought of Suibai again. First, a male Suibai had appeared, then a female Suibai. He wondered if there were other Suibai. These strange, humanoid Suibai creatures were selflessly helping the disciples of the Dragon God Sect. Ye Yun found it hard to believe they had no connection to the Dragon God Sect.

However, less than a third of the training period had passed. Perhaps some truths would naturally surface once he reached the depths of the Nether Immortal Ancient Land. Ye Yun was not in a rush. This training expedition to the Nether Immortal Ancient Land promised great rewards. Perhaps he could find some clues about the entrance to the Sumeru Dark Realm.

Could it be that the mastermind has taken some Divine Dragon corpses from the Sumeru Dark Realm and moved them out? Such a thought suddenly arose in Ye Yun’s mind. This possibility certainly existed.

The mastermind, it seemed, had started laying plans ten million years ago; the sheer power of their various methods was terrifying. Their scheme spanned a full ten million years, from the extinction of the ancient Divine Dragons to the fall of the Dragon God Sect. Such methods had to be the work of a supreme existence orchestrating things from the shadows. Even the majestic Ancestor Dragon, a God Emperor Realm expert, had been schemed against, which spoke volumes about this entity’s power.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun’s eyes, instead of showing fear, gleamed with a fervent fighting spirit. Unraveling the plots to this point, he found it rather interesting and stimulating. That mastermind probably never dreamed that a heaven-defying individual like him was steadily unraveling their grand design.

Ye Yun smiled, cast aside such distracting thoughts, and resumed his cultivation.

As the black fog churned, groups of cultivators continuously stumbled out of it in disarray. More and more cultivators gathered around the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

In the distance, beneath the thirty-sixth Heavenly Mechanism Tower, the team led by the Su family’s girl in colorful clothes prepared to depart once more.

The man at the Life and Death Realm said with some annoyance, ”Lady, it’s unbelievable that we’ve only obtained a single Divine Element Longevity Fruit after all this travel!”

The girl in colorful clothes smiled faintly. ”Our progress has been somewhat slow. Perhaps if we can catch up to others, we’ll find more Divine Element Longevity Fruits.”

The man gave a wry smile. ”Lady, there must be several powerful factions constantly sweeping the Nether Immortal Ancient Land for Divine Element Longevity Fruits. If we just trail behind them, I fear there’ll be nothing left for us.”

The girl in colorful clothes sighed. ”You’re right. However, the fog’s toxicity is increasing. We must travel for a period, then rest for a period.”

The man shook his head, his gaze drifting into the distance. The group ventured back into the fog to continue their journey.

It wasn’t just their team; many groups, including numerous teams from the Supreme Major Sects, had found little success after entering the Nether Immortal Ancient Land. Apart from harvesting some Divine Element Longevity Fruits at the beginning, their chances of finding more later on became exceedingly slim.

None of them suspected that Suibai was behind all this. The true beneficiaries weren’t the large teams from the Supreme Major Sects, some numbering in the hundreds, but an inconspicuous six-person squad. This squad had only two Destiny Realm cultivators.

Alas, what an unlucky little team! the little blue cat in the arms of the girl in colorful clothes thought lazily. It cracked open an eye, gazed into the distance at the dozens of Heavenly Mechanism Towers still ahead, and felt a headache coming on. When will they finally reach the last Heavenly Mechanism Tower? Should I... give them a little excitement?

Once this thought arose, the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon couldn’t suppress it. It stretched out a claw and gently tore a small rift in the black fog before them. The tear wasn’t large and was perfectly positioned in the team’s path. It was extremely well-hidden, far beyond the detection capabilities of these young cultivators.

The team flew rapidly through the fog, completely oblivious, and plunged headfirst into the small spatial rift. The next moment, they flew out from another spatial opening. Throughout the entire process, no one in the group detected anything unusual. Only the Life and Death Realm man seemed to sense a strange spatial fluctuation.

A young man suddenly exclaimed, ”Strange! Miss, why has the fog here suddenly become so dense?”

The Life and Death Realm cultivator released his Divine Sense, scanned the surroundings, and said with a frown, ”It is indeed much denser than before.”

Suddenly, his expression changed. Not far ahead, he had detected a ball of silver light.

The man said cautiously, ”Strange. We just left the thirty-sixth Heavenly Mechanism Tower. Why is there another one ahead? Miss, let’s go investigate.”

The girl in colorful robes also sensed something was amiss and immediately led the others towards that Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

「The Thirty-Ninth Heavenly Mechanism Tower.」

The crowd around it was growing, with more Human Race cultivators constantly arriving, and even a significant number of Demon Clan cultivators.

The fog churned. A team of several dozen people emerged from it. Leading them were two beautiful young women. One wore a white dress, the other red. Both possessed devilishly sexy figures and were exquisitely beautiful and captivating. Some cultivators with weaker self-control practically drooled at the sight of these two beauties.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon at the head of the group suddenly widened her eyes. ”A Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat? He’s here?” She had spotted the familiar six-person team a few hundred yards away. Among them, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat, dressed in black, sat before a pile of Spirit Stones, frantically absorbing their energy.

As the saying goes, ”When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.” At the mere sight of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat, the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon’s eyes turned crimson. Her delicate body trembled slightly as a horrifying aura erupted from her.

The beauty in red murmured, ”Suibai isn’t here!” The expression in her beautiful eyes gradually shifted from its initial calm to one brimming with murderous intent.
