Chapter 188

He spoke with an impassioned tone:

「My junior clan member not only lives up to expectations, his talent astonishes the world, his cultivation can be described as advancing a thousand miles in a day! 」

「In just a few short decades, he rose against heaven, defeating all peers of Heavenly Pride within the clan, his name already shaking the entire Wasteland Heaven! 」

「Now he is unquestionably the strongest of the younger generation of our Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan! Revered by the whole clan as the Imperial Son! His status within the clan is supremely exalted! 」

Dou Tianzhu looked at Ye Wuque, his eyes filled with utter seriousness:

「In our Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan, the younger generation bears the titles of 'War King' and 'War Emperor'. To be called a 'Young War King' is already a one-in-ten-thousand Heavenly Pride. 」

「And the title 'Young War Emperor'……is only bestowed upon the sole Imperial Son who, in a certain era, appears to suppress all and possesses limitless potential—the ultimate honor. 」

「Brother Tianxiong is our clan's sole 'Young War Emperor' of this generation! 」

Listening to Dou Tianzhu's account, Ye Wuque's heart also surged with waves—he felt genuine joy for the young hero, and marveled at his glorious achievements.

The young hero of those days has now become the renowned Young War Emperor Dou Tianxiong, whose name shakes the Wasteland Heaven!

Such growth speed truly matches his peerless talent.

The War Prince beside them also listened, his heart racing, and couldn't help but interject:

「Brother Dou, what brings you this time to this remote Primordial Ancient Heaven? Could it also be related to that【Imperial Son】」

After asking, he seemed to feel a bit abrupt, quickly giving an awkward laugh: 「I spoke out of turn; this must be Brother Dou's secret, I shouldn't pry. 」

Dou Tianzhu, however, laughed heartily and waved his hand:

「Brother War, don't mind it, it's fine! Although this matter involves quite a bit, the struggle over the keys is now nearing its end, the news has mostly spread, so speaking of it is no problem. 」

He looked at Ye Wuque and the War Prince, his expression turning slightly solemn: 「I came to this Primordial Ancient Heaven because there is an ancient secret realm here called the【Meteor Star Ancient Cavern】, which has recently surfaced. And within this cavern, several mysterious……keys have emerged. 」

「Keys? 」 Ye Wuque's eyes twitched slightly.

「Not bad! 」 Dou Tianzhu nodded.

「These keys are of utmost importance, for they involve an unimaginable, heaven-shaking opportunity! 」

「And this opportunity is closely tied to a major event that is about to unfold in the Wasteland Heaven! 」

He paused, his voice brimming with uncontainable excitement, and said each word clearly:

「This great event is——the Myriad Beasts Assembly! 」

「The Myriad Beasts Assembly? 」 A hint of doubt and curiosity appeared in Ye Wuque's eyes.

The War Prince's expression shifted slightly, as if recalling something.

「It seems the two of you, fellow cultivators, are newcomers. 」

Seeing this, Dou Tianzhu proceeded to explain in detail:

「The Myriad Beasts Assembly is the supreme gathering of all manner of demonic beasts and feral spirits in the Wasteland Heaven! 」

「It is a gluttonous feast for the countless young Heavenly Prides of all tribes! 」

「It is the premier event countless young demonic beasts dream of! 」

His voice unconsciously rose:

「Even, this gathering is not limited to the major demonic beast races! 」

「All tribes under heaven, including your human race, as long as you have a connection and strength, may participate in this grand affair! 」

「Within the assembly lie infinite possibilities! 」

「Ancient inheritances, heaven-defying treasures, lost secret arts, and even expert empowerments, bloodline evolutions……all manner of supreme opportunities may appear! 」

「Each convening of the Myriad Beasts Assembly forges a new batch of peerless powerhouses, while countless Heavenly Prides meet their demise within! 」

「One could say, the Myriad Beasts Assembly is presently the premier event that draws the attention of all beings throughout the Wasteland Heaven! 」

Ye Wuque's mind and spirit were shaken!

He could not imagine how vast and tumultuous, how splendid and radiant this gathering would be!

Myriad Heavenly Prides clash, myriad tribes gather as one, contending for that heaven-defying opportunity!

Just thinking about it makes one's blood boil!

「And these keys, 」 Dou Tianzhu brought the topic back, a flash of light in his hand revealing a dark-colored key that was neither metal nor wood, of ancient simple design, engraved with intricate dragon patterns, 「which is related to a supreme opportunity within the Profound Ancient Grand World, the venue of the Myriad Beasts Assembly——the Suppressing Dragon Valley. 」

「Suppressing Dragon Valley? 」 Upon hearing that name, Ye Wuque's heart stirred inexplicably.

「According to legend, this key is the crucial means to enter that Suppressing Dragon Valley secret realm! 」

Dou Tianzhu stated firmly: 「Although there may also be other ways to enter the Suppressing Dragon Valley, at least on the surface, contending for this key is the simplest, most direct, and most effective method! Possessing the key allows one to seize absolute initiative and advantage in the struggle for the opportunity within the Suppressing Dragon Valley! 」

He weighed the key in his hand, then continued:

「The keys that have appeared in the Meteor Star Ancient Cavern are few; there have also been rumors that similar keys have shown up in other ancient perilous places, but overall, the number of keys is extremely scarce. 」

「Therefore, each time the keys surface, they provoke massive contention, stirring up a bloody storm! 」

「I disguised myself as the Blazing Sun Golden Ape, stealthily slipped into the Meteor Star Ancient Cavern, endured nine deaths to gain life, and fortuitously obtained this key. 」

「Unfortunately, I eventually revealed a flaw, drawing the attention of those Hunyuan fellows, who have pursued me all the way here……」

Dou Tianzhu, upon saying this, showed a hint of fear on his face, but more so relief: 「Fortunately, I met Brother Ye and Brother War, who lent righteous aid; otherwise, this key might truly have been taken by them! 」

Ye Wuque and the War Prince digested this huge amount of information, their hearts surging with waves.

They never expected that, shortly after stepping into the Wasteland Heaven, they would be swept into a vortex involving the Myriad Beasts Assembly and the mysterious【Suppressing Dragon Valley】.

Especially Ye Wuque, upon hearing the three words【Suppressing Dragon Valley】, the Great Dragon Halberd deep within his soul and spirit seemed to transmit an extremely faint, indescribable throb!

Although subtle, it was extraordinarily clear!

「Suppressing Dragon Valley……Dragon Clan……」

Ye Wuque's eyes flashed with brilliance, an intuition surged in his heart: 「Perhaps……the opportunity to repair the Great Dragon Halberd lies precisely within this Suppressing Dragon Valley! 」

He secretly resolved within himself that, no matter what, he must find a way to obtain the qualifications to participate in the Myriad Beasts Assembly.

Upon entering, he must pay close attention to any news concerning the Suppressing Dragon Valley!

This very well could be an important clue to repairing the Great Dragon Halberd, and even uncovering further secrets!

The Teleportation Array continued to operate steadily, its light flowing, shuttling the three through the barriers of Space.

Heaven Fighting Pivot continued to enthusiastically introduce the local customs of the Vast Wild Heaven and the situation of the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan, while Ye Wuque and the War Prince listened attentively, occasionally asking questions.

The three got along swimmingly in their conversation, and their relationship grew increasingly harmonious through the exchange.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time shuttling, the light of the Teleportation Array began to gradually weaken, and its speed slowed down.

At the end of the passage, a vast aura, immensely rich and filled with majestic Life Essence and ancient battle intent, faintly transmitted inward.

Heaven Fighting Pivot broke into a smile, rose to his feet, and loudly said to Ye Wuque and the War Prince:

"Brother Ye, Brother War, we… are almost there!"

"Ahead lies… the Ancestral Land of my Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan!"
