Chapter 1254: Dao Ancestor Corpse in the Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land!

TL: Etude

“If there had been another civilization before the Dao Mountain Domain, it surely would’ve left some traces behind; it couldn’t have been completely erased!” Palace Master Thunder Tribulation remarked.

“Yes, there would indeed be some traces left—perhaps clues within certain forbidden lands. But they must be of the very highest tier. Let’s go investigate those forbidden lands and hope we discover something!” Dao Ancestor Jinchen suggested.

Immediately afterward, the Heavenly Emperor Palace and Blackwind Mountain decided to send Half-Step Domain Ancestors into those forbidden lands within the Dao Mountain Domain.

Before this, they had looked down upon the forbidden lands in the Dao Mountain Domain. Apart from the Profound Void Archaic Realm, nowhere else within the Dao Mountain Domain could compare. Even any random forbidden treasure land in the Profound Void Archaic Realm far surpassed the most valuable treasure lands in the Dao Mountain Domain.

Therefore, they had never bothered exploring the major forbidden lands or treasure lands in the Dao Mountain Domain.

Only weak forces were interested in the Dao Mountain Domain’s forbidden treasure lands. Yet, these weaker forces were far too weak to dare enter the top-tier forbidden lands.

Before the birth of the Profound Void Archaic Realm, even Dao Mountain—the foremost transcendent force—had not dared to enter some of the top-tier forbidden lands. Such places could even take the life of a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor; even Dao Ancestor Dao Mountain himself had not dared venture there!

Ye Tian received messages from Dao Ancestor Jinchen and the other All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestors, and learned of their speculations.

“A Devourer Race originating from the Dao Mountain Domain!” Ye Tian was startled by this hypothesis as well.

If this speculation was true, then their threat would greatly exceed that of the three Devourers from the Profound Void Archaic Realm!

The Devourer Race in Divine Heaven Domain had practically been wiped out, and the few that remained posed little threat and were quite timid.

Previously, those remaining Devourer beings had nearly lost all footing in Divine Heaven Domain, and thus only dared venture into the Dark Forbidden Domain when fragments of the Vast Sea Domain flew into it.

In reality, they hardly dared show their faces, afraid of being killed instantly.

But the Devourer Race of the Dao Mountain Domain was different. If the speculation was correct, then they had destroyed an entire domain—its worlds, universes, and Chaos continents. Just how powerful had they become? Was there perhaps a Devourer of Domain Ancestor level?

But even that was uncertain, for if a Domain Ancestor-level Devourer had appeared, the Dao Mountain Domain would have been left completely barren. Such a being would not remain here, waiting idly.

Because even if the Dao Mountain Domain had once again birthed universes, Chaos continents, and Dao Realms, it would offer little benefit. Only by devouring Domain Realms could they continue their growth.

However, it was uncertain if the Dao Mountain Domain could even birth another Domain Ancestor. That was essentially a matter of probability.

Therefore, it was very likely that Domain Ancestor-level Devourers had left the Dao Mountain Domain long ago and ventured deep into the Dark Forbidden Domain.

Thus, the Devourers who remained here would neither be numerous nor overly powerful.

Of course, this was merely speculation.

Whoosh!

Ye Tian departed from the Profound Void Archaic Realm and entered the Chaotic Void of the Dao Mountain Domain.

This time, he once again used his Copy Body, since this operation was extremely dangerous. He might even encounter powerful Devourers.

In fact, from now on, Ye Tian’s main body would almost always guard the Human Realm, while all external operations would be conducted by his Copy Body.

Within the Dao Mountain Domain, one Half-Step Domain Ancestor after another set out towards various top-tier forbidden lands; the more dangerous the forbidden land, the more it attracted the Half-Step Domain Ancestors.

Ye Tian also chose a forbidden land—the Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land!

The Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land was an extremely ancient forbidden land in the Dao Mountain Domain, existing for an immeasurable span of time. Within lived a group of Dragon-Snake chaos lifeforms, but due to their limited intelligence and isolation within the Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land, few knew of their existence.

In truth, the Dragon-Snakes weren’t particularly powerful; even the strongest among them was merely comparable to a Third Heaven Dao Ancestor. The true threat of the Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land came from its unique special domain.

Even a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor entering the Dragon-Snake Domain would have their strength suppressed to the equivalent of a Third Heaven Dao Ancestor at best. Coupled with the sheer number of Dragon-Snakes within, even a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor would fall once trapped inside.

Most importantly, the Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land offered nothing valuable, which was why no Dao Ancestor willingly ventured there.

On this day,

Ye Tian arrived outside the Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land. Gazing at the vast, ominous region before him, he stepped inside without hesitation.

As soon as Ye Tian entered, he felt the oppressive force of the special domain. However, for him, this suppression wasn’t strong—it only reduced his strength by less than ten percent. If Ye Tian were to activate his Forbidden Domain, this so-called suppression would be utterly meaningless.

Thus, entering the Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land had no significant impact on Ye Tian’s strength.

Boom! Boom!

One after another, Dragon-Snakes stretching tens of thousands of miles burst out from the void, launching attacks toward Ye Tian.

Most of these Dragon-Snakes were merely at the True Ancestor realm—roughly at the Elite True Ancestor level. Only a few reached Dao Ancestor level, and those were merely First or Second Heaven Dao Ancestors.

In the past, such a large group of Dragon-Snakes might have been terrifying. However, since the birth of the Profound Void Archaic Realm, the Dao Mountain Domain’s strength had grown unimaginably. Such numbers were now utterly insignificant.

“Die!”

Ye Tian’s aura trembled, instantly annihilating countless Dragon-Snakes. Even those at First and Second Heaven Dao Ancestor levels perished immediately.

Step by step, Ye Tian ventured deeper into the Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land. Any Dragon-Snake attacking him along the way was swiftly killed; none survived.

Before long, Ye Tian reached the depths of the Dragon-Snake Forbidden Land—an area probably untouched even by the former Dao Ancestor Dao Mountain himself.

Suddenly—

Ye Tian saw a mountain range extending over a million miles, radiating a terrifying aura.

“This isn’t a mountain range—it’s a Dragon-Snake at the Dao Ancestor level!” Ye Tian murmured.

Judging from its aura, this Dragon-Snake had possessed terrifying strength, likely comparable to a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor. It had died here, its corpse eventually forming a mountain range. Most Dragon-Snakes he’d encountered were descendants born from this very mountain.

“The strongest being in the Dao Mountain Domain had previously been Dao Ancestor Dao Mountain, merely a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor. Yet, this forbidden land had produced a Dragon-Snake chaos lifeform at the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor level!” Ye Tian was somewhat astonished.

Passing beyond the mountain range, he ventured even deeper.

Not long after, he came upon a corpse—strictly speaking, it was a cultivator’s corpse. And not just one, but five corpses, all at the Dao Ancestor level.

These five corpses floated quietly in the void, surrounded by fragments of weapons.

“One corpse at Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor level and four corpses at Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor level!” Ye Tian inhaled deeply, clearly understanding what this meant.
