Chapter 222: Suppressing Dragon Valley! Found It!

……

Profound Ancient Great World, Blazing Sun Great Domain.

Ye Wuque and his party rode the Ancient Overlord Tiger through the streets in a grand display, finally arriving at this region where traces of Suppressing Dragon Valley were said to have appeared last time.

In the Blazing Sun Great Domain, a blazing white sun hung in the sky as if eternally burning.

The temperature was extremely high, the earth cracked and dry, and the air was suffused with scorching heat.

Yet surprisingly, this place was exceptionally prosperous and bustling.

Countless living beings gathered here—some setting up temporary markets in the scorching desert, others searching for artifact-refining materials among mountains that spewed geothermal fire, and still many powerful Dark Beings with sharp gazes sweeping in all directions, clearly also searching for something.

The arrival of Ye Wuque's team was like dropping a block of ice into a vat of boiling oil, instantly causing an enormous commotion and drawing intense scrutiny!

"Look! It's... it's the Holy War Heavenly Ape! And that Human, Ye Wuque!"

"They actually rode an Ancient Overlord Tiger here! My heavens!"

"That's Ye Wuque? So young! Such a profound aura!"

"The one he's sitting on... is that really Hu Xiaozhou? I once saw him from afar—that murderous aura is unmistakable!"

"Insane! Truly insane! The Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan is probably going to go mad!"

Cries of alarm and discussions surged forth like a tide.

Countless gazes converged on Ye Wuque and Little Hero, as well as the two golden giant tigers beneath them, filled with shock, fear, and a trace of indescribable, complex emotion.

Many living beings subconsciously retreated, clearing a path, terrified of provoking this Ye Demon God whose fearsome reputation was known to all.

Even the descendants of certain top-tier powerful clans who thought highly of themselves, after confirming the identities of those two mounts, chose silence and kept their distance, with no thought of stepping forward to provoke.

Ye Wuque's fearsome might had been thoroughly established through the battle in the Purple Sun Great Domain.

Ye Wuque and the others turned a blind eye to all this. They went straight to a relatively central area of the Blazing Sun Great Domain and began carefully investigating.

Little Hero took out a map and compared the terrain with Dou Tianshu and the others, searching for any clues that might be related to Suppressing Dragon Valley.

However, after lingering and searching here for several days, having scoured nearly all the possible areas recorded in historical texts, they still came up empty-handed.

It was as if Suppressing Dragon Valley had never left any trace here at all.

In the Void, powerful Divine Sense swept by from time to time, indicating that other factions were also secretly searching for clues to Suppressing Dragon Valley.

Too many people had their eyes on this prize.

Just as everyone was at somewhat of a loss—

"Bzzt!"

Dou Tianshu, who had been silently following along, suddenly trembled slightly. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Ye Wuque and Little Hero:

"The key! The key inside my body just produced an extremely faint fluctuation!"

Ye Wuque and Little Hero's spirits were instantly lifted!

"Which direction?" Ye Wuque asked immediately.

Dou Tianshu closed his eyes and carefully sensed. A moment later, he pointed in a direction: "Over there! The fluctuation is very faint, but it's definitely there!"

"Let's go!"

Without any hesitation, the party immediately sped off in the direction Dou Tianshu indicated.

Their movements immediately attracted the attention of certain interested parties; several auras covertly followed.

"Hmph, trying to pick up scraps?"

Little Hero gave a cold snort and exchanged a glance with Ye Wuque.

Ye Wuque understood instantly. The Hu Xiaozhou beneath him suddenly accelerated, while Ye Wuque swept his sleeve, and an invisible yet vast Space Power rippled outward, violently distorting spatial perception in the area behind them.

Little Hero, War Prince, and the others also employed their own methods—some disrupting auras, others creating illusions.

In mere moments, those living beings attempting to track them lost their target and could only watch helplessly as Ye Wuque and the others' Dark Shadows vanished into the vast mountains and distorted heat waves.

Following the key's increasingly clear guidance, they traversed the Blazing Sun Great Domain and ultimately arrived at the most ancient, vast, and desolate of the Ten Great Domains—the Origin Great Domain!

Here, a primordial aura like the dawn of all creation suffused heaven and earth.

The mountains took on an eerie dark red hue, vegetation was sparse, and spiritual energy was far less abundant than in other Great Domains.

As a result, living beings rarely visited, making it especially silent and desolate.

After entering the Origin Great Domain, the fluctuation of the mysterious key inside Dou Tianshu suddenly intensified!

As if responding to some kind of summons!

"It's somewhere near here! The fluctuation is very strong!"

Dou Tianshu said excitedly.

Everyone slowed down and carefully sensed.

Sure enough, faintly, they could detect that the Void at a certain spot nearby seemed incongruous with its surroundings.

An indescribable, mysterious aura brimming with the Great Power of Reincarnation and the essence of time and space was slowly manifesting and coalescing!

"It's Suppressing Dragon Valley! It must be Suppressing Dragon Valley!"

Little Hero's eyes shone brightly, his tone certain.

This unique spacetime aura, seemingly transcendent from the present world, was identical to the characteristics of Suppressing Dragon Valley recorded in historical texts!

The goal was right before their eyes, but new problems arose.

Though they could vaguely sense the existence of Suppressing Dragon Valley, they could not pinpoint its exact spatial coordinates, much less know how to use the key in their hands to open a passage inside.

"The key has a reaction, but how do we locate it, and how do we open it?" Dou Tianshu frowned.

Ye Wuque's gaze flickered. He stepped forward and took from Dou Tianshu's hand the key that appeared ancient yet contained the mysterious power of Causality.

"Let me try."

He held the key and slowly closed his eyes.

In the next moment, a profoundly wondrous fluctuation, as if touching the fundamental connections of all things in the world, rippled outward from him like water rings!

Xiangsi Imperial Art!

Under the augmentation of the Xiangsi Imperial Art, Ye Wuque's perception instantly rose to an inconceivable level.

The key in his hand was no longer an inanimate object, but transformed into an incomparably clear Line of Cause and Effect!

The other end of this line connected distantly to that mysterious place hidden within the interstitial layer of the Void and radiating the Great Power of space-time — Suppressing Dragon Valley!

Countless minute Causal Networks appeared before his eyes; he precisely captured that thickest, most essential causal thread, and following it, instantly locked onto Suppressing Dragon Valley's exact spatial coordinates!

Standing to the side, the little hero Dou Tianxiong's pupils shrank abruptly the moment he saw that profound fluctuation ripple forth from Ye Wuque's body!

With his discernment and the knowledge he possessed as the Imperial Son of the Holy War Heavenly Ape, he instantly recognized the source of this power!

"This is... this is... the Xiangsi Imperial Art?! Brother Ye actually... even mastered this Emperor Fiend ultimate technique?!"

Towering waves of shock surged in his heart, but immediately, that astonishment transformed into sincere admiration and pride.

He felt happy that he had befriended such an unfathomably deep brother; there was not the slightest jealousy or greed in his heart, only a shared sense of honor.

The War Prince and several other ape-tribe Heavenly Prides could also sense the unfathomable depth of the means Ye Wuque was currently employing, and their gazes toward him grew even more reverent and convinced.

"Found it! Follow me!"
