Chapter 500: Ancient God Curse Beyond Time

Glug glug...

Heh heh heh...

A viscous, gray‑black liquid that emitted a faint rotten stench.

It seeped out through cracks in the mountain, then fell into the river valley on one side of the ridge, flowing down toward the foot of the mountain.

He examined the legendary wreckage and bones he had thrown, now being corroded by the hissing black viscous liquid.

After all, Ta Ke·La Mo Er had already made a great name for himself in their A Fang Elf Kingdom.

This time, their Green Star Tribe entered the Divine Mountain; the real core plan lies deep within the mountain.

Result!

Then they ascended to a higher dimension.

Standing on the steps, Ta Ke looked up along the river channel, a hint of worry in his brows.

Buzz...

A fierce roar accompanied his trembling body.

When Ta Ke delved into the Sequence Ladder: Star Net Weaving Method.

Feeling the settled power within the Divine Mountain's Steam Star Net ecosystem, Ta Ke thought silently.

The Green Star Tribe's ecological experts confirmed and informed everyone that the Steam Star Net possessed only slight ecological power, even suppressed by the Divine Mountain's force, and had no substantial effect, which reassured many members of the Green Star Tribe.

Wooo...

Meanwhile, after entering this forbidden divine realm, Ta Ke·La Mo Er's reputation rose to its zenith.

Every corner deep within the Divine Mountain.

For a moment, the custodians of each altar corner rejoiced, daring not and unable to contest him.

The towering Divine Mountain.

As the ceremony progressed.

Because it required such an extended duration, it was called the "Eternal Curse that Crosses the Shore of Time."

This is the place where an ancient, powerful civilization cultivated seeds that become gods.

An anomaly suddenly arose.

"Currently the Divine Mountain's ecosystem is slightly turbulent, which is perfect for my ecology to infiltrate,"

In the past six months.

The roar of steam continued to surge as ever.

And with the steam's roar, the Star Net's veins interlaced deep into the heart of the Divine Mountain.

They are Strong God Curse seeds of 15‑star to 18‑star level, which can only be birthed by crossing the endless river of time and space.

Ta Ke used the settled ecological power to gather the treasures.

Fortunately, his defensive capability was strong enough to withstand the opposition of the ceremony.

Wooo...

Ta Ke·La Mo Er?

The two leading elf strongmen, responsible for the group, saw these star‑light veins flickering like a faint breath and their faces instantly darkened.

The altar stacked with countless heavy treasures displayed a power that was astonishingly formidable.

For a moment, the massive cloud layer over the Divine Mountain was twisted into chaos.

Ta Ke·La Mo Er, this method is indeed extraordinary.

Especially this time, Ta Ke, who damaged their plan, became the primary target for elimination.

This is the Ancient God Curse; once the great Sequence Prime Deity obtains it, their power will surge dramatically.

All factions of the Green Star Tribe faced it as a great enemy.

At that moment.

Within the massive tower's energy barrier node, swarms of Flame‑devouring Spirit Bats in a mass of ethereal form launched attacks.

But after several days, as the Star Net veins showed no effect, the Green Star Tribe gradually relaxed.

In six months, more than twenty kinds of treasures have been unearthed one after another.

Occasionally, some moderately powerful treasures began to surface intermittently.

At the mountain's foot, starlight suddenly surged in massive sheets.

However, the two leading legendary elves deliberated carefully and ultimately, citing Ta Ke as an outsider, did not bring Ta Ke·La Mo Er into the fold.

"If that were the case, it would be too dangerous."

Sensing the slight tremor of the Divine Mountain's ecosystem, Ta Ke pondered.

Just climb up.

Ancient God Curse

Lei Meng Si looked up toward the deeper part of the Divine Mountain, his gaze unusually weighty and profound.

Buzz!

Defenses and vigilance in all directions were raised by one tier.

It is this ancient civilization's cultivation zone that many legendary strongmen use to forge the Sequence Civilization Ladder.

The unrivaled will of the Sequence Prime Deity attacks the many seized wills, beliefs, and even their legendary Sequence ecosystems with a ruinous onslaught.

On a massive rock shelf atop a peak of the Divine Mountain.

Should…

In the dark world, a surge of starlight waves rose, and for a moment it actually illuminated the entire Divine Mountain realm.

The Divine Mountain and the depths of the cloud layers faced the newly unearthed treasure.

Following the steam–star‑net ecological threads that spread within the Divine Kingdom.

"This time, after the Green Star Tribe suffered a heavy loss outside, they did not continue to oppose our Starlight Giant tribe."

Precisely because such events are rare in the ages of history, once the Ancient God Curse seed appeared, it caused the powers of many altars to all enter the contest.

But at this moment, Ta Ke's steam ecology was not a purely foreign invasive species, but a native organism imbued with star‑net ecological power.

Terrifying power shrouded the Divine Mountain.

In front of it stood a massive pyramid altar as vast as a mountain range.

The bizarre steam star‑net that had terrified the Green Star Tribe outside now, at this moment, unfailingly blossomed above the Divine Mountain.

The Green Star Tribe strongman who controlled the altar suddenly sensed something amiss.

As the ceremony deepened, treasures kept emerging; through the many ritual explorations, the treasures deep within the Divine Mountain were unearthed.

As the terrifying will crystal of the Green Star Tribe's Sequence Sovereign God was cast into the altar.

"They even intend to salvage the resources at the deepest part of this Divine Mountain treasure trove; truly, their ambition is considerable."

Nevertheless, the ecological power here is not strong.

Naturally, they cannot forge their own sequence civilization through the Sequence Ladder – Star Net Weaving Method.

Sequence Ladder – Star Core Weaving Method

Those filthy monsters of Chao Shen Da Shi level exploded one after another, like black fireworks of death.

Taking a deep breath, Ta Ke steadied his mind, drew out the Star‑Nye Divine Staff, and gave it a gentle swing.

The opposition within the ritual's progress, the excavation continued as always.

"It cannot cover me here."

One by one, hundred‑meter‑tall black sequence trees rooted themselves in the black substance.

Ta Ke did not rashly borrow the star‑net threads to seep through for any sort of confrontation.

If the treasure seemed too distant, or unattainable, or if it seemed insufficiently valuable to merit expending effort.

Use the Star Net as the foundational ecological thread.

Boom—boom—boom…

"Wooo…"

"Wooo…"

As the starlight blossomed brilliantly.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke's star‑net threads landed upon the heavy treasure that now nearly shook the entire Divine Mountain, a relic birthed by the ancient civilization's sequence ecology— the Ancient God Curse!

Indeed, Ta Ke himself also possesses the powerful innate talent of a "Steam·Civilization·Weaver," a kind of Pioneer.

"Wooo…"

Others gather the treasure using the settled power of the altar.

In previous processes, this method of extracting treasure through ritual was quite normal.

Weave the 【Sequence】 power of the sequence civilization, thereby constructing the "Sequence Ladder" to which the extraordinary ecological civilization belongs.

The Ancient God Curse then vanished without a trace.

From this ancient era of sequence civilization, Ta Ke acquired many forging methods for the Sequence Ladder.

Both sides' main forces are now exerting the altar's power with all their might for this heavy treasure.

"But…"

But at this moment, their evolution entered a critical stage.

Moreover, these subtle threads not only penetrated the energy barriers of the towers they erected and the altar ceremony, but also seeped into deeper layers of the Divine Mountain.

Sequence Ladder – Divine Shaping Method

The entire Divine Mountain's starlight, like rippling backflow, suddenly converged upon the Ancient God Curse seed.

The altar's controller will temporarily retract his altar power, awaiting a more expensive, higher‑value treasure.

This caused many of the Green Star Tribe to curse while their hearts grew uneasy.

"Therefore… we must seize the critical moment."

Sequence Ladder – Forge‑God Method

114.41.78.26

If Ta Ke missed the external star‑net ecology.

Only then would he realize that the external star‑net ecology is, astonishingly, one of the cultivation zones of the Sequence Ladder.

When the subtle starlight threads fell upon his body and upon the altar.

Bang—bang—bang…

Many legendary spirits, locked in fierce resistance, suddenly discovered some subtle threads radiating starlight appearing around them.

"I hope Ta Ke's participation this time can bring some different change."

"At this moment, if one is on the Divine Mountain without powerful protection, one might die in this terrifying ritual confrontation."

Lei Mengsi was first stunned, then soon showed a hint of a smile.

As dazzling purple lightning rolled across the vaulted heavens.

Several streams of steam, like soaring dragons, erupted rapidly.

And at this moment, Ta Ke was practicing the Sequence Ladder – Star Net Weaving Method.

As time passed, the once pitch‑black, deep Divine Mountain shrouded in darkness now showed faint, wavering starlight threads.

Instead, it steadily released massive steam energy, promoting the expansion of the steam star‑net and amplifying the fundamental cycle with the Divine Mountain's ecology.

Hehe… interesting.

Once one successfully masters a certain amount of the Sacred Mountain's power, then all hostile forces that enter the Sacred Mountain must die.

Steam·World!

Seeing the heavy treasure 【Ancient God Spell】 from the other side of time fall into one's own side.

……

The talent power 【Steam Civilization Weaver】 possessed by the Sequence Pioneer paves Ta Ke's ascent to the divine long step, and also can guide later ones toward the light!

In himself, Ta Ke, using the steam ecology, has mastered 【Steam Starweb Ecology】.

The foul, rotting black substance in the valley on the right has been accumulating more and more over the past half year.

Even that purple thunder pales before this dazzling, brilliant sea of stars.

No…

At the crucial moment of the contest, the Green Star Clan was clearly more resolute.

An altar of the Green Star Clan, carrying that crystal‑clear 【Ancient God Spell】 seed, fell toward its own altar.

The war among the Green Star Clan, the Starlight Giants, and other groups can only barely gain any advantage.

Ta Ke, standing up, lifted his head and quietly gazed into the depths of the firmament.

Lei Mengsi sat steadily here, cross‑legged.

……

Some unknown whether nurtured by ecology or drifting out from dangerous corners, sequence life seeds fell there and took root.

Three times!

I even suspect their current plan goes far beyond this.

Many members of the Green Star Clan even cheered.

Even though the solidified power of the Sacred Mountain's ecology strongly repels steam ecological power.

At this moment, Ta Ke was immersed in the divine realm's ecology, forging the Sequence Ladder.

The ritual they employed was countering an assault from the curse of the 【Bat Night God】.

But it was clear that whether the Green Star Clan or the Starlight Giant clan, they were accumulating settled power and had not launched a large‑scale grab.

Meanwhile, Ta Ke, immersed in the network and observing carefully, did not act.

With the rumbling resonance shaking.

Among them were many Green Star Clan altars, and of course, almost all the Starlight Giant altars were also activated.

This strange black liquid is very dangerous.

Ta Ke's Steam Starweb Ecology infiltration efficiency was quite good.

Even Ta Ke could faintly sense many external divine forces, which seemed to have also entered the contest for the Sacred Mountain's treasure.

Deep within the bottomless cliff wall, a biting black wind rushed by, like a blade, constantly slicing bone and flesh against his body, whistling.

Previously, members of their A Fa Elf Kingdom's team had also suggested recruiting Ta Ke.

Occasionally, some six‑legged wolf‑bodied silhouettes, octopus heads, and tentacle‑hair‑like twisted aberrant monsters fell from the spherical fruits of the viscous black‑liquid tree.

After all!

The heavy black clouds were trembling violently.

The "Steam Astral Legend" that Ta Ke placed beside the platform would cut it down with a single slash.

I originally thought they were cowardly, but…

The more they pour massive effort into a treasure, the more I must snatch it away, leaving their bamboo basket empty!

But this time!

With the appearance of a top‑grade heavy treasure, things are different.

Although this peculiar material ecology is rather bizarre, it does not pose a great threat to Ta Ke.

This Sacred Mountain treasure contest is a battlefield for the top‑level champions of both sides.

At the foot of the Sacred Mountain.

Not only suitable for oneself, but also for the extraordinary beings of the entire Steam Sequence Civilization.

The ritual proceeds, continue!

The trajectory of time seems to have returned to before.

This time the intensity of the purple lightning and the tremor it caused to the clouds and the Sacred Mountain far exceeded all previous tremor intensities.

It is better that these twisted monsters do not climb onto the platform where Ta Ke stands.

Obviously, deep within the Sacred Mountain, a heavy treasure has been triggered!

Even the filthy twisted species beside it let out warped screams amid this terrifying thunder disaster.

Almost all the altars' powers were activated.

With all sides' forces strong and unwilling to yield, this 【Ancient God Spell】 seed was tugged back and forth in the vortex; no one can tell which party the seed, nurtured since the ancient era to the present, will finally fall to.

After the two combine.

Ta Ke, having borrowed this ecological power, could block or at least disrupt their ritual.

When Ta Ke's Steam Starweb Network permeated outward.

But as a divine forbidden land, it naturally repels other ecological forces.

At this moment Ta Ke used the 【Sequence Ladder·Starweb Weaving Method】 to construct the Sequence Civilization Ladder.

Benefiting from the Sacred Mountain's ecology being in a fierce ritual confrontation, with multiple forces vying.

If we take, we take the Green Star Clan's.

Even though our Starlight Giant clan does not cooperate with them, it can still penetrate the Sacred Mountain, even… intersect deeply with the local ecology.

Fearing that the terrifying entangling power of the Star Web veins would reappear and hang each of them to death upon this towering Divine Mountain.

Ta Ke conducted pioneering ecological integration on the Divine Mountain ecology of this ancient Divine Forbidden Land.

"They have poured all their power into the Divine Mountain, even mobilizing the external Sequence True God's power; their clan not only possesses the means to salvage chaotic star cores from other worlds."

Originally, it was thought that Ta Ke acting alone would most likely not be able to reach the vicinity of the Divine Mountain.

Ta Ke employed the Sequence Ladder·Star Web Weaving Method, and within the Divine Realm·Mystic Ancient House, the construction of the "Sequence Ladder" has already shown initial results.

Amid the roaring steam, the ridges around Ta Ke displayed traces of Star Web veins.

Just the appearance of the treasure caused these twisted, bizarre creatures to explode outright; one can imagine the potency of such a treasure.

Additional Steam Star Web Ecology continuously seeped into every corner of the Divine Mountain.

As the forces of all sides receded.

For example:

Even!

They know that Ta Ke Lamor previously cooperated with their elf clan.

Each time a treasure appears, numerous ritual altars expend altar power to vie for it.

And this time.

…………

……

Thus, their team can delve into the Divine Mountain more effectively and harvest more valuable items.

More than twenty mid‑rank legendary‑tier elves gathered together.

"We do not know what ritual is being performed deep within the Divine Mountain; the forces of curse and corrosion have already begun to seep outward."

Yet by using the "Star Web Ecology" as a shell, the Steam Star Web Ecology still penetrated rapidly.

This ladder built with Divine Realm ecological power, in terms of a higher‑sequence civilization, is what is called— the Divine Ascension Long Step.

"After this half‑year of Divine Mountain ecological power, I roughly possess absolute dominance in three treasure‑seizing attempts."

Several Green Star Clan altars decisively employed the primordial power of the Sequence True God.

Ta Ke not only reached the vicinity of the Divine Mountain; moreover, he used his own Star Web Ecology power to infiltrate, as his fury had reached the mountain's depths.

They do not require the involvement of other ecological forces here.

Many factions have gained modest rewards.

"They are highly likely to use that top‑tier destructive ecological relic to carry out slaughter."

"Ka— crack—"

The treasure in hand flew away like that.

For a moment.

The entire Divine Mountain fell silent!
