Ye Tianchen and the Flying Little Leopard were the first to reach the edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land, which was guarded by the Black Sky Cat Clan and the second to arrive was the Dragon Horse Descendant Clan!
What surprised Ye Tianchen and the others was that an elder from the already extinct Dragon Horse Descendant Clan left behind a Divine Thought, seemingly wanting to convey some message to them. However, the first piece of news from the elder of the Dragon Horse Descendant Clan was not good. It informed the Flying Little Leopard and the youth of the Black Sky Cat Clan that their parents and grandfathers were likely already perished and dead!
"This... no, it can’t be, it definitely can’t be..." the Flying Little Leopard said, somewhat in disbelief.
"Impossible, my grandfather can’t be dead, he definitely won’t die, he’s very strong!" The youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan also said, unable to accept it.
The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendant Clan sighed as he looked at the Flying Little Leopard and the youth of the Black Sky Cat Clan, and said:
"Perhaps they are still alive, I hope so too, but it’s good for you to be mentally prepared!"
"Senior, what exactly is going on?" Ye Tianchen asked.
Indeed, what troubled Ye Tianchen the most now was who sent these powerful Demon Clans to guard the edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land? And who was so strong that these Demon Clans, with their millennia of hereditary duty, dared not leave? They faced annihilation if they dared to leave, right?
Yet, if they had guarded here for generations, they would have become accustomed, even subservient, which is understandable. But why, two years ago, did the strong members of each Demon Clan guarding the edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land leave, only leaving behind their descendants?
"I think you have already guessed some things!" The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendant Clan looked at Ye Tianchen and said.
"Yes, if I haven’t guessed wrong, all the strong members of the Demon Clans guarding the edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land left their post two years ago, leaving only their descendants!" Ye Tianchen nodded.
The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendant Clan looked at Ye Tianchen and then said: "That’s right, there are five Demon Clans guarding the edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land: the Flying Sky Leopard Clan, the Black Sky Cat Clan, the Dragon Horse Descendant Clan, the Divine Power Pangolin Clan, and the Immortal Deer Descendant Clan. Two years ago, all our clans received a message that a mysterious treasure emerged from the depths of the Barbaric Forbidden Land..."
"Another mysterious treasure emerging?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but feel that there were too many mysterious treasures on this Earth; he had encountered them many times!
"Hehe, Magic Law is chaotic, the world changes, naturally it is unusual!" The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendant Clan said with a smile.
"Senior, even if there is a mysterious treasure emerging, you, as the powerful Demon Clans guarding the edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land, should have known earlier, why would you..." Ye Tianchen hesitated to continue.
"I know what you want to say, it’s about why we left two years ago? Does it have something to do with the emergence of this mysterious treasure?" The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendant Clan smiled and asked back.
"Exactly!" Ye Tianchen stated frankly.
Not only Ye Tianchen, anyone would have such questions. These powerful Demon Clans, sent to guard the edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land, had been enslaved and suppressed for nearly ten thousand years, even afraid to resist. Even knowing there was a mysterious treasure in the depths of the Barbaric Forbidden Land, they wouldn’t dare to enter, because the one capable of enslaving the five powerful Demon Beast Clans was terrifying beyond measure, even unbeatable. Yet, why, two years ago, did the strong members of these five clans venture into the depths of the Barbaric Forbidden Land together? Weren’t they afraid that the powerful figure enslaving them would rage and annihilate their whole clans in an instant?
"In the depths of the Barbaric Forbidden Land, there is an exotic treasure that is the focus of all the powerful Demon Clan, including the Ancient Alien Race that lurks within. However, this treasure’s origins are unknown and it is very ancient. Rumor has it that it can be traced back to the Ancient Times, and even the Ancient Alien Race in the Forbidden Land dares not act recklessly!" The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendants said in a surprised tone.
"A treasure that traces back to the Ancient Times? What... is it?" Ye Tianchen asked, equally shocked.
In the Martial Arts World, the Ancient Times is the most distant era, and the Mythical Era above it is truly untraceable. The further back in time, the more untraceable the era is, the more likely it is to be the Near Immortal era. Could a treasure existing since the Ancient Times be an Immortal Item?
"Heh, if I knew what it was, I wouldn’t need to be here awaiting death!" the elder of the Dragon Horse Descendants said with a smile.
"But even if the exotic treasure emerges, the powerful Demon Beasts in this Barbaric Forbidden Land are countless, and there are even Ancient Alien Races with sky-reaching means. Even if your five tribes joined hands, you probably couldn’t obtain that treasure, could you?" Ye Tianchen pondered for a moment before speaking directly.
"That’s right. Compared to the powerful Demon Clan in the Barbaric Forbidden Land, or even the rumored Ancient Alien Race lurking within, we, the five tribes guarding the edges of the Forbidden Land, are indeed insignificant, almost negligible. If we dare to enter the Forbidden Land, we could be annihilated immediately, facing an existential threat. We don’t have the strength to contend. But why do we enter? Because to our five tribes, it’s a rare opportunity, the only chance to escape enslavement..." The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendants appeared very excited as he spoke.
Ye Tianchen could understand the feelings of the elder of the Dragon Horse Descendants. Even the young ones from the Flying Little Leopard and the Black Sky Cat Clan might not comprehend these emotions. Five enslaved tribes, five exploited tribes, have guarded the fringes of this Barbaric Forbidden Land for generations. Daring to leave their post or enter the Forbidden Land would mean annihilation, a risk of extinction. What an indignity, what an oppression! Once, the strong predecessors of the five tribes united and ventured into the Forbidden Land, never to return, perishing within. Such hatred, such pain, such oppression, just thinking about it makes one want to rebel, to break free from all these shackles!
"The only chance, but since you are assigned to guard the edge of this Barbaric Forbidden Land for generations, wouldn’t you die if you rashly entered, before you even reach the depths of the Forbidden Land? How would you compete for the treasure?" Ye Tianchen was still a bit puzzled and asked.
"That’s why I said this is the only chance for our five tribes, and also the best timing. The Magic Law of the entire Martial Arts World is about to change drastically, and so is the law within the Barbaric Forbidden Land. That’s why the exotic treasure from the Ancient Times will emerge. The great figure who enslaves us also wants to seize the treasure. Under such circumstances, it needs help and has summoned the strongest from our five tribes to assist it!" The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendants said with shining eyes.
Hearing the elder’s words, Ye Tianchen understood. This indeed is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, possibly the only good chance for these five Demon Clans to resist. Previously they had to guard the fringes of the Barbaric Forbidden Land for generations, forbidden to enter, forbidden to leave their posts. Otherwise, extinction would follow. The figure who enslaved them was too powerful, utterly irresistible, so they could only endure humiliation. But this time, this great figure urgently needed them, which is different. If these five Demon Clans unite and act unexpectedly, getting the treasure first, they might just be able to eliminate this great figure and free themselves from slavery!
"I understand. You want to take the opportunity while assisting this dominant presence to seize the treasure first, catching it off guard and defeating it!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, this was an agreement among our five Demon Clans for a common goal. But two years have passed and they’ve not returned. It seems they have failed..." The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendants said somewhat sadly.
"Senior, you are too pessimistic. Maybe they have succeeded!" Ye Tianchen smiled and comforted him.
"Success is not possible. This was a gamble with less than a ten percent chance of success. The powerful existence is truly unbeatable. But after nearly ten thousand years of enslavement of these five tribes, this decision was made out of sheer oppression. At worst, the entire tribe would be annihilated - there’s no difference between that and being trapped here forever, forever enslaved!" The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendants said with a bitter smile.
"Then what kind of existence is it exactly?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.
"I don’t know. Except for the ancestors of our five tribes, no one in later generations has seen this existence. It is incredibly strong, one of the strongest beings in the Barbaric Forbidden Land. If it wasn’t for other beings to counterbalance, it would have long been the strongest existence, undefeatable!" The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendants shook his head and said.
"So formidable, it seems it really is a very difficult opponent!" Ye Tianchen murmured to himself, frowning.
The elder of the Dragon Horse Descendants glanced at Ye Tianchen and then smiled faintly, "I sense an unusual aura within you, with infinite potential. However, even a Saint Realm supreme powerhouse cannot roam freely in this Barbaric Forbidden Land, and you are still lacking!" (To be continued.
