Chapter 186

"Black Emperor, when did you break through to the Dragon Transformation? Also, aren't you in Zhongzhou?"

"Not to mention the Golden-Winged Xiaopeng King, even Ye Fan and the others all had faces of utter disbelief."

"It hasn't been long since we last saw each other, yet the Big Black Dog has reached the second transformation of the Dragon Transformation, and his fleshly body has become increasingly terrifying, not much inferior to Ye Fan's Ancient Holy Body."

"After joining forces, the Big Black Dog and Duan De constantly dug up graves and tombs, roamed various ancient relics, and reaped abundant gains."

"Naturally, his strength surged forward, and his current realm is somewhat higher than Ye Fan's."

'"We just arrived two days ago; as for our strength…… I, the Emperor, broke through a month ago!"'

"Saying this, the Big Black Dog raised his big head, his expression arrogant as he spoke."

'"Yang Zhu…… has he also come back?"'

"Ye Fan asked, since the Big Black Dog has returned, Yang Zhu is very likely to have returned as well."

"Although they remained in the Eastern Wasteland, Yang Zhu's deeds in Zhongzhou had long been transmitted back."

"Easily suppressing and killing a great power, the Zhongzhou top-tier Vermilion Bird Sect, which sought to provoke, was almost completely wiped out."

"The Crown Prince of the Great Xia and the Princess of the Nine Li, representing the two great dynasties, both sought to win them over."

"There are rumors that Yang Zhu swept across Zhongzhou, already invincible among the younger generation, yet no one dared to come out and clamor—not even the Central Emperor took any action, which says it all..."

'"You feathered fool, now that my strength has surged, I will beat the crap out of you later!"'

"The Big Black Dog was full of confidence; relying on his current strength, while he may not be able to suppress the opponent, self-defense is absolutely no problem."

'"……"'

"Upon hearing the conversation of the Big Black Dog and the others, the Golden-Winged Xiaopeng King reacted, his face instantly sinking, becoming extremely solemn, with his eyes twitching uncontrollably."

"When the Li Cheng Ancient Tomb opened, Yang Zhu struck him with a palm, heavily injuring him, almost killing him on the spot; even now, thinking back sends a shiver down his scalp."

"One could say Yang Zhu is an inescapable shadow for him, and moreover, he is the nightmare of the vast majority of geniuses in the Eastern Wasteland!"

"Since Ji Haoyue was felled in just a few moves, several years have passed, and this Ji family divine body has never shown itself again, as if it had vanished without a trace."

"The Ji family outwardly claims he has been in seclusion all along; as for the details, no one knows, which shows how severe the blow was."

'"They're all here."'

"In the distance, Yang Zhu and the Yaochi Holy Maiden walked over, a talented man and beautiful woman, like a perfect couple, exceedingly lovely; at the moment of their appearance, even all beautiful things paled in comparison."

'"I'm leaving; do you want to come along?"'

"Yang Zhu paid no heed to the Golden-Winged Xiaopeng King not far away, but instead looked toward Ye Fan and Pangbo."

"When he was in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, he had already swept across the Eastern Wasteland; now, having ascended to the Immortal Platform, he is even more invincible of the present age."

"Under normal circumstances, Yang Zhu disdains to act against anyone below the level of a great power; otherwise, it would be nothing short of a disgrace to him."

'"Lea… leave? Where to?" Ye Fan was startled by the question, momentarily unable to react.'

'"Earth, I promised to send you back."'

'"Truly… really?!"'

"Upon hearing the two words 'Earth,' Ye Fan's body shuddered; his longing for his parents made him unable to calm, his nose tingled with sourness, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears."

"Since the Nine Dragons Launched the Coffin set sail, bringing him to the Big Dipper, he then swore an oath to quickly become strong, all for the sake of returning to his homeland!"

"But many years have passed, and he realized that with his strength, attempting to cross the desolate universe is nothing short of a fantasy, visible yet unattainable."

"Now, Yang Zhu says he can send him back, like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned in place, his heart surging with excitement to an indescribable degree."

'"Pangbo, we can finally go back!"'

"Ye Fan looked at Pangbo, very excited, but beside him, the Ji family's Little Moon, her lively eyes clearly dimmed, feeling a weight in her heart, an inexplicable discomfort. 'Ye Zi… I think this place is quite good; I want to stay here...'"

"Who would have thought, Pangbo was not very excited; instead, he furrowed his brows, lowered his head, his expression hesitant, not knowing how to choose for a moment."

'"You don't want to go back? But..."'

"Ye Fan never expected this situation to happen, and he was completely stunned."

'"There are many friends here..."'

"Pangbo let out a long sigh and voiced his thoughts."

"He has experienced the splendor of this place, seen many things, and he likes it very much..."

"After arriving in the Big Dipper, they stumbled into the ranks of cultivators; even if they returned to their homeland, their cultivation would not change, destined to be unable to resume a normal mortal life."

"Furthermore, if they stayed in the Big Dipper, should Ye Fan ever return one day, they could still have a backup..."

'"Alright, I respect your choice."'

"After hearing that, Ye Fan nodded heavily; what the other said made sense, everyone chooses their own path, and he would not force them."

'"Woof! Why are you still here staring at an egg? I spared your life, so scram already!"'

"The Big Black Dog glanced angrily at the Golden-Winged Xiaopeng King, then his eyes rolled, and his big black mouth moved up beside Ye Fan."

'"I say, you brat, coming here you must have found some treasure, right?"'

"His gaze was sharp, fixed intently on Ye Fan."

'"If there is, great; on the contrary, not only is there no treasure, it might even be extremely dangerous."'

"Ye Fan spread his hands helplessly; this dead dog is still as greedy as ever, no matter what, he always thinks along those lines."

'"Oh? Do tell."'

"The unscrupulous Daoist, hearing this, became interested and inquired."

'"Well, since the Purple Mountain was opened, ancient creatures have been appearing one after another..."'

"Saying this, Ye Fan's expression grew solemn; ancient creatures, sealed for countless ages, each one is an extremely terrifying existence."

"Once they all emerge, it will be a catastrophe; humanity will hardly be able to resist! Though the Purple Mountain has only been open for a few years, the ancient creatures that have appeared are stronger than imagined, to the extent that all major and minor powers now are deeply wary."

"Nowadays, the turmoil is no longer peaceful; aside from those who possess extreme Dao imperial weapons and terrifying foundations in their immortal inheritances, everyone else is filled with anxiety, fearing that one day the ancient creatures will launch an assault against them."

"As for Ye Fan and his group coming here, they heard that there is an ancient creature nest nearby, so they deliberately came to inspect it, to gauge its reality."

'"I have previously encountered an ancient creature; it was extremely powerful, comparable to a strong great power."'

"I heard a Supreme Elder say that half a month ago, Yao Guang had a Supreme Elder who died at the hands of an ancient creature."

Li Heishui and the others looked grave; Donghuang has been unsettled lately; to the world, ancient creatures are no longer so unfamiliar.

The more one understands, the more one is shocked by their power; nowadays, human saints rarely appear, and when the time comes, who can stand against them? 'Where is the nest of the ancient creatures, and how strong are they?'

The big black dog wasn't as worried as Ye Fan and the others, for the descendant of the Wushi Great Emperor was right by his side.

Never mind the ancient creatures; even if their royal clan came, they'd all be suppressed! 'It's in a mountain range a thousand li away; as for their strength……hard to say, it's quite troublesome.'

Ye Fan and the others merely took a quick glance and then fled; if they were discovered, they'd be in trouble, for their strength is still insufficient to resist.

'Let's go, take a look.'

After hearing the introduction, Yang Zhu did not hesitate and immediately headed toward the direction Ye Fan had mentioned.
