After a long time.
In the boundless barren wasteland, a group of four flew in from afar—it was Su Yuan, Bai Ze, and the others.
"Is this the Great Wilderness Ridge?" Su Yuan gazed at the vast, rugged, yet barren wasteland ahead.
After Qixia Mountain, the three gradually emerging Dragon Veins were Golden Bell Valley, Kong Ao Island, and this Great Wilderness Ridge!
Bai Ze nodded: "That’s right, it’s said that this place was once lush and picturesque, with endless greenery.
However, thousands of years ago, an Emperor Level from True Yang Sect and another Emperor Level from the Demon Sect fought here.
After the battle, the Great Wilderness Ridge lay barren for ten thousand miles, all living things wiped out by the aftermath of their fight, as if purified.
For countless years, not a blade of grass grew, even Star Power was completely cut off due to Earth’s Qi damage.
Unexpectedly, a Dragon Vein has now emerged here, the Star Power has revived—truly, it is a stroke of extreme luck that leads to revival through fire."
"The might of the Emperor Level is truly world-shattering..."
Su Yuan sighed inwardly; whether this barren land or the First-tier Sky filled with Sword Intent in the Ancient Forbidden Zone of the East Continent, the traces left by Emperor Level powerhouses are utterly astonishing.
However, for now, I’m not even close to King Level, so there’s no need to overthink it.
Su Yuan collected his thoughts, expanded his Spiritual Sense to sense carefully.
"Here, indeed, the concentration of Star Power is quite strong, much higher than where we were before. It can be confirmed that Advanced Star Veins have formed."
Bai Ze nodded with a smile, saying: "Our people are just ahead, let’s continue."
"Alright."
The four proceeded a while further, surprisingly encountering a place of dense woods and flowing waterfalls—a "Deserted Ridge Oasis".
This is the intense Vitality brought about by the Earth’s Qi surging with the formation of a Star Vein.
Previously, Su Yuan saw similar scenes during the births of Dog Vein and Wolf Vein, but nothing as exaggerated as this!
And in this "oasis", Su Yuan expanded his All-Knowing Vision for exploration and could already see some cultivators.
Bai Ze led Su Yuan and the others through the dense woods to a woodland area.
Su Yuan’s eyes moved slightly, faintly sensing that there seemed to be arrays covering this area.
Indeed, as Su Yuan stepped in, numerous powerful presences suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Bai Ze, you’ve returned."
Accompanied by a cold, sharp voice with a touch of metallic quality, a tall and slender blond man stood ahead.
Demon Beasts differ from humans; although they restrain themselves, some aura inevitably escapes.
And from this blond man before him, Su Yuan felt a rather astonishing dragon might...
"True Dragon!"
At this moment, a black-faced big man came forward with some anger.
"Bai Ze! We came here to help you seize the Dragon Vein, yet you were slow to return yourself!"
Behind, other Transformed Demon Beasts, though silent, showed noticeable dissatisfaction on their faces.
Bai Ze apologized with a smile: "Forgive me, everyone, I also brought two friends who might help alleviate some pressure."
"Humans?"
Upon seeing Su Yuan and Mu Kexian, the spirit beasts raised their brows.
Originally, Bai Ze’s departure midway already displeased many spirit beasts.
The result being two humans invited? One of them is even in Chongyang Realm?
How could this satisfy the many demon beasts?
The black-faced big man focused his gaze heavily on Su Yuan and his companion, snorting heavily:
"To make Bai Ze leave and invite personally, they must be experts!"
A white-haired elder behind said: "Wang Hu, be polite."
However, the black-faced big man seemed unhearing, showcasing a fierce expression as he took three strides toward Su Yuan, the two-meter tall, burly figure almost blocking most of Su Yuan’s view!
Su Yuan felt something, immediately pulling Mu Kexian to his side behind himself.
And the black-faced big man looked down from above, his mouth curled, shouting abruptly:
"Hey, Hu...man!!"
Like a Golden Bell shattering, tangible golden sound waves suddenly exploded forth.
While there was no disturbance beneath Su Yuan’s feet, large swathes of land behind him and even hundred-meter-high mountain walls were promptly torn and shattered!
The black-faced big man stared angrily, black hair swaying wildly, accompanied by a terrifying spiritual shock like a roar!
Wang Hu’s signature skill, Tiger Roar in the Mountains!
Though it’s an epic skill, yet merely a sudden shout here and a regular Burning Sun...no, even someone in Three Suns Realm could be horrified, lost in spirit, collapsing on the ground!
However, to the surprise of all demons, Su Yuan ahead merely lifted his head slightly, looking at Wang Hu indifferently, his expression unchanged.
