Chapter 189: with translation of chapter title

The light of the teleportation array thoroughly stabilized and then dissipated.

The three stepped forward together, and the scene before them suddenly opened up!

A rich, ancient, towering, and vast aura, mixed with an unyielding, heaven‑fighting will, surged forward like a tangible force and instantly seized the hearts and minds of Ye Wuque and the War Prince.

They had already found themselves within a boundless, independent world.

The sky was a deep dark‑gold hue, as if forged from endless battle will and immortal resolve.

The land was vast, mountains and rivers undulating like slumbering primordial apes, while rushing rivers gleamed like silver ribbons, roaring with thunder‑like cries.

Gazing out, palaces stretched continuously, built against the mountains, their style rugged yet grand, brimming with power.

Pavilions and towers dotted the landscape, yet blended perfectly with nature.

Even more astonishing, within the void of this world were not empty but naturally manifested vague yet towering silhouettes of giant apes!

Some shattered stars with their fists, some split the earth with their feet, some battled gods and demons at the cosmic frontier, and some roared as they charged toward indescribable horrors…

These were the ancestral imprints stamped upon heaven and earth with supreme battle intent, the glorious epic of the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan's ancient forebears who conquered the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, and the immortal totem of their spirit!

Merely gazing at these phantoms evoked the awe‑inspiring power that shakes the universe and moves the Star River, along with an unbreakable will!

"This is the ancestral land of my Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan!"

Dou Tianchu's voice rang with pride, echoing across this heaven and earth.

Ye Wuque and the War Prince looked out and saw that virtually all the beings in this world were ape‑folk.

There were ape‑folk shaped like small hills, their hair intertwined with violet lightning, shouldering Divine Peak as they ran.

There were golden‑furred apes blazing like miniature suns, inhaling and exhaling solar essence.

There were shadow‑laced, mysteriously auraed Nine Heavens Black Apes practicing assassination techniques…

These are all notably powerful branches of the ape‑folk.

Yet, no matter how extraordinary these ape‑folk branches are, when they behold figures covered head‑to‑toe in brilliant silver fur, towering in stature, with disdainful gazes, naturally exuding the supreme aura of heaven‑fighting, earth‑battling dominance, they all feel reverence and submission from the depths of their hearts!

Those silver‑furred giant apes are the true masters of this vast ancestral land!

They are the supreme existence within the ape‑folk bloodline—the Holy War Heavenly Ape!

Dou Tianchu arrived at the edge of the world's barrier; without any movement, his pure Holy War Heavenly Ape bloodline stirred slightly within him, and the invisible Guardian Array ahead, which emitted heart‑pounding fluctuations, rippled open like water, revealing a safe passage.

"Brother Ye, Brother War, please!"

Dou Tianchu led the way.

The three formally entered the interior of the ancestral land's world.

Along the way, young ape‑folk they encountered—whether Holy War Heavenly Apes or other branches—upon seeing Dou Tianchu, all stopped in their tracks and respectfully bowed:

"Greetings, War King Tianchu!"

Their eyes held respect for Dou Tianchu, while also curiously sizing up Ye Wuque and the War Prince.

After all, the chance of humans appearing in the Holy War Heavenly Ape ancestral land is exceedingly slim.

Especially since these two were personally guided by the clan's renowned youthful War King, Dou Tianchu, making them all the more remarkable.

Under Dou Tianchu's guidance, the three passed through myriad landscapes and finally arrived before an ancient Great Hall perched atop Divine Peak, its entire structure built of chaos‑colored giant stones.

Even before stepping through the door, a terrifying, noble, unfathomable aura seeped out from within, like a slumbering prehistoric behemoth.

Upon entering the Great Hall, the interior space proved far more spacious than its exterior suggested, as if it were a self‑contained miniature world.

In the center of the Great Hall, a figure stood casually.

It too was a Holy War Heavenly Ape, clad in simple silver hide armor, with a face resembling that of a middle‑aged human, firm features, and eyes deep as if containing the cosmos.

Though he did not deliberately release pressure, his casual stance seemed to tread the entire heaven and earth underfoot, naturally exuding a supreme, overbearing majesty and bearing that inspired awe and made one dare not meet his gaze.

Ye Wuque and the War Prince both felt a jolt in their hearts!

This person must be a top‑ranked, high‑status figure of the Holy War Heavenly Ape clan!

"Clan Leader!"

Dou Tianchu stepped forward and offered a respectful salute.

Ye Wuque and the War Prince followed closely, clasping their hands in greeting.

It turned out this was the current Clan Leader of the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan!

The Clan Leader's gaze fell upon Dou Tianchu; a gentle smile softened his stern face as his voice, steady and powerful, said:

"Tianchu, you've returned. How did this trip go?"

Dou Tianchu did not dare delay; he immediately recounted how he had disguised himself to infiltrate the Meteor Star Ancient Cave, endured hardships to seize the key, then been pursued by the three great fiends—Golden‑Winged Great Peng Hunyuanjun, Sun‑Devouring Sky Serpent Teng Jiuhuang, and Ancient Overlord Tiger Huyouxu—until, at the critical moment, Ye Wuque and the War Prince came to his aid, allowing him to repel the foes and safeguard the key.

The Clan Leader listened silently, gave a slight nod, and praised:

"Calm in crisis, wise and brave—well done."

His gaze then turned to Ye Wuque and the War Prince; his deep eyes held scrutiny, but more so warmth and gratitude.

"Young Friend Ye, Young Friend War, thank you both for coming to our aid and helping our juniors escape peril."

The Clan Leader's voice carried a convincing sincerity.

"This kindness, my Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan will remember; from today onward, you two are our most honored guests!"

"Clan Leader, you overpraise; seeing injustice, we ought to help." Ye Wuque replied, neither humble nor arrogant.

Then Dou Tianchu couldn't help but ask: "Clan Leader, where is Younger Brother Tianxiong now? Brother Ye is an old close friend of Younger Brother Tianxiong from when he wandered abroad; hearing of Ye's arrival, Younger Brother Tianxiong must be delighted!"

"Oh?" the Clan Leader's face showed a clear hint of surprise, his eyes returning to Ye Wuque for a renewed look: "Young Friend Ye, you actually know Tianxiong?"

"A fortunate coincidence—I once met the young hero and formed a friendship." Ye Wuque gave a brief explanation.

A flicker of realization crossed the Clan Leader's eyes; he nodded: "I see. Tianxiong is now in seclusion at a secret site, at the final stage, about to emerge."

He paused, his expression turning solemn as he looked to Dou Tianchu: "Tianchu, your return is timely. The Myriad Beasts Convention is about to commence; this gathering is no trifle, of great importance, especially the opportunities tied to Suppressing Dragon Valley, which are paramount! You must prepare early."

His gaze seemed able to pierce the void, filled with expectation:

"This time, Tianxiong will personally lead the team, representing our Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan at the Myriad Beasts Convention! As War King, you must give him your full support and exalt our clan's might!"

"Yes! Clan Leader! Heavenly Pivot will surely not disgrace the mission!" Dou Tian Shu solemnly accepted the order, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

Afterwards, the Clan Leader again encouraged Ye Wuque and the War Prince a few sentences, then let them rest first.

Led by Dou Tian Shu, the two went to familiarize themselves with the environment of the Ancestral Land.

Leaving the magnificent Great Hall, Dou Tian Shu, as guide, led Ye Wuque and the War Prince to stroll through the Ancestral Land.

They passed through rows of splendid mountains and rivers, crossed the surging, roaring great river, and finally arrived at an extremely vast huge plaza.
