Strange creatures surged from the Netherworld Burial Pit in overwhelming waves, only to be incinerated by the Pure Lotus Demon Dragon Clan's relentless Lotus Demon Fire. Ye Yun discussed the pit's ancient mysteries with the clan leader, sensing a barrier concealing terrifying Ancient Clan corpses below. After the battle, a powerful Ancient Nether Clan member resurrected, emerging through pulsing black rings with manic killing intent, wings, and scythes.

"You're so ugly, it's easy to spot you..."

With a grin, Ye Yun shrugged his shoulders.

"What? You bastard, how dare you call me ugly!"

The Black Giant's fury erupted instantly upon hearing Ye Yun's remark.

Within the Ancient Clan, though not the handsomest, he was far from ugly. Plenty of girls had harbored secret crushes on him back then.

Noting the somewhat dim-witted look on this guy's face, Ye Yun blinked his eyes.

"Who are you? Dare to give your name if you've got the courage!"

Smiling, Ye Yun inquired.

Instead of answering, the Black Giant narrowed his eyes, staring coldly below.

Upon this platform.

Only a single Divine King Realm Pure Lotus Demon Dragon existed.

Nearly all the others lingered in the Divine Sovereign Realm, alongside a handful at the Senior God-Monarch Realm.

This lineup seemed utterly feeble against him.

Since reviving, he had advanced to the Second Layer of the God King Realm, more than able to overwhelm that Pure Lotus Demon Dragon in both cultivation and power.

Across millions of years.

Lotus Demon Fire was something he had witnessed, and he held no fear toward this all-purifying blaze.

As a member of the Ancient Clan, he wielded exceptionally rare divine abilities.

If not for that.

Surviving death after tens of millions of years would have been impossible for him.

"Why shouldn't I tell you?

You pathetic Divine Soil spirits, haha..."

Arrogance filled the Black Giant's smile as the dark red scythes at his back unleashed waves of eerie black glow, amplifying their menace.

Eyes blazing with divine radiance, he boomed, "Hear this: I am the Divine King of the Scythe, one of the eighty-one Divine Kings serving the Goddess of Ancient!"

His voice thundered like celestial bolts, echoing far and wide.

Sound waves shattered the Underworld Burial Pit's stone walls, sending debris cascading from above.

Divine King of the Scythe?

An image of the alluring Nangong Jade flashed in Ye Yun's mind as he blinked.

The Goddess of Ancient commanded such awe, backed by eighty-one mighty Divine King Realm subordinates.

What a formidable lineup.

"He's tougher than expected. Why don't you step up first and test our benefactor's foe..."

The white-robed elder eyed the Divine King of the Scythe gravely and murmured to Dragon Chan.

"Got it. I'll unleash everything and aim to take him down!"

Dragon Chan responded with utmost seriousness.

"Give it your all, but you're just probing for our benefactor. No need to push if victory slips away. You know his power well, right..."

The white-robed elder cautioned.

He worried Dragon Chan might rashly flaunt his skills to impress the benefactor, leading to defeat or death against the Divine King of the Scythe.

Ultimately, handling the Divine King of the Scythe rested with the benefactor, whose might surpassed Dragon Chan's.

The white-robed elder and his group, stuck in the Divine Sovereign Realm, stood no chance against the Divine King of the Scythe.

In the past, the Ancient Clan assaulted the Divine Soil with bizarre divine skills, overpowering its cultivators, and the Dragon Clan had rushed to support the Divine Soil spirits.

This highlighted the Ancient Clan's terrifying strength.

Gazing down with disdain, the Divine King of the Scythe bellowed in laughter, "You weaklings probably never heard my name, haha!"

"A mere Divine King like you? No fame here, but I've laid eyes on the Goddess of Ancient once..."

Ye Yun remarked with a grin.

"What? You've met the Goddess of Ancient?"

Shock gripped the Divine King of the Scythe, his expression shifting wildly as he demanded, "Where is she? Speak, and I'll let you live!"

"Worry about your own neck first!"

Ye Yun burst into loud laughter.

"Damn you, pushing me to strike?"

Rage consumed the Divine King of the Scythe, his rear black ring pulsing with sinister vibrations once more.

This lent him an even more ghostly aura.

From afar.

He resembled a man-spider ensnared in a dark web circle.

"Divine King of the Scythe, forget dreaming of the Goddess of Ancient; she's already departed the Divine Soil for your Ancient Clan homeland!"

Ye Yun chuckled at the enraged Divine King of the Scythe.

No outsiders lingered nearby.

Apart from the Divine King of the Scythe, only Pure Lotus Demon Dragon Clan members remained.

So, he disclosed the Goddess of Ancient's true location to the Divine King of the Scythe.

Belief was his choice.

"The goddess returned? Impossible!"

Disbelief filled the Divine King of the Scythe's eyes as he questioned.

"Why would I deceive you?"

Ye Yun arched a brow.

"The Goddess of Ancient is mighty, yet after severe wounds, even partial recovery wouldn't let her go back..."

The Divine King of the Scythe reasoned deeply, then his gaze iced over, roaring at Ye Yun, "You're lying!"

"Couldn't the Goddess of Ancient use the Ancient Beast's Primordial Reversing Technique to reverse up the Yao Guang Galaxy and reach the Ancient Realm?"

Ye Yun narrowed his eyes coldly.

"How do you grasp such precise secrets?"

The Divine King of the Scythe quivered in astonishment and thrill at Ye Yun's revelation.

Their Ancient Clan had descended to the Divine Soil atop the Ancient Beast along the Yao Guang Galaxy.

A monumental hidden truth.

Even Divine Soil spirits remained ignorant of it.

The Primordial Reversing Technique stood as the Ancient Clan's supreme divine skill, unknown to the masses.

Yet this youth in white knew every detail, utterly astonishing.

"Do you trust me now?"

Ye Yun questioned calmly.

"I do..."

The Divine King of the Scythe's face twisted sharply, a wretched laugh escaping amid his grief-stricken tone.

"If the goddess is gone, what's the purpose of my revival?"

Tears poured as he wailed uncontrollably.

Witnessing the Divine King of the Scythe's heartbroken sobs, Pure Lotus Demon Dragon Clan members traded baffled looks.

Just now, he strutted with arrogance; why this abrupt plunge into despair?

The Goddess of Ancient came up between them—what vital role did she play in the Ancient Clan?

Why such a devastating impact on the Divine King of the Scythe?

"You've been abandoned..."

Ye Yun gazed at the weeping Divine King of the Scythe with a knowing smile.

Naturally, Ye Yun pondered drawing him into his service.

After all.

He planned a future trip to the Ancient Realm, where this Divine King's guidance would prove invaluable.

And his reason for venturing there?

To pursue the Goddess of Ancient.

Clues from his travels suggested Nangong Jade had vanished mysteriously. If unfindable, she might be the Goddess of Ancient.

To verify, Ye Yun resolved to journey to the Ancient Realm himself.

Of course.

First, he'd settle affairs on Cangnan Continent and Divine Soil before departing.

"Abandoned... hahaha, abandoned indeed!"

Mad laughter burst from the Divine King of the Scythe at Ye Yun's words, his face contorting into malice.

Bo-bo!

Fiercely shaking, the black halo behind him unleashed a mighty aura that shot toward the heavens.
