Chapter 24: Not Worth Dying For!

Ye Wuque naturally hasn't forgotten the chilling feeling when he first saw the pile of bones on the Mysterious Being's ship bow.

Nor has he forgotten what the Mysterious Being once told him.

"It would be more accurate to call it an ambiguous hope rather than a chance."

"Because this bone may show no sign throughout your whole lifetime, but perhaps one day it will react; when that time comes, your opportunity may arrive."

Since then, for a very long period, this frontal bone showed no movement at all.

And now, inside this Ancient Imperial Tomb, a trace of change has finally appeared.

Moreover, the fluctuation occurred precisely when Ye Wuque was looking at this mural.

Could the towering figure of the ominous great power battling on the mural be related to the owner of the skeleton?

Or perhaps this Ancient Imperial Tomb harbors an opportunity linked to this frontal bone?

If so, what kind of opportunity would it be?

Ye Wuque knows that this cannot be simple.

The skeleton's owner in life must have been an unfathomable supreme existence, and being connected to the Mysterious Being, this opportunity could not be ordinary.

Ye Wuque's eyes burned with a hint of anticipation.

Just that alone makes this journey to the Ancient Imperial Tomb worthwhile.

At that moment, Ye Wuque did not hesitate, summoned his Six-Winged Sacred Eagle, left the place, and headed toward the depths of the Ancient Imperial Tomb…

As his exploration of the Ancient Imperial Tomb deepened, the surrounding environment began to change slowly.

That ancient desolate feeling grew ever stronger…

A moment later.

In a region spanning hundreds of thousands of miles of a colossal valley, Ye Wuque, moving at breakneck speed, suddenly let a cold smile curl at the corner of his mouth.

He gave a slight shake of his head, halted, looked ahead, and said lightly:

"Truly, the road of enemies is narrow…"

"Come out."

"What's the point of hiding?"

The instant Ye Wuque's words fell,

Boom—!

Swish swish swish!

Dozens of figures stepped out of the Void and stood tens of thousands of li ahead of Ye Wuque.

They were a group of young cultivators in splendid robes, led by a tall young man in the centre.

It turned out to be… the cultivators of the Jun Family!

At the head, of course, was the Jun Family's Ancient Divine Son… Jun Ao Tian!

At this moment, they all stared coldly at Ye Wuque, their gazes flashing with unabashed murderous intent and resentment!

"It's him!"

"That ant that rose from Liuhe Bahuang!"

"How dare he oppose our Jun Family!"

"That day, the Carefree Divine Son who went to the Purple Clan and his entire sequence were killed by his hand!"

"This grudge… shall never be avenged!"

Several Jun Family Heavenly Pride members spoke coldly.

And Jun Ao Tian finally spoke:

"Dare to strike the Jun Family… ant… you will die a thousand deaths without atonement!"

"To become the first ant I, Jun Ao Tian, slay after my revival—that is your supreme honor!"

Boom!

Having said that, Jun Ao Tian launched his attack outright!

A terrifying aura burst from his towering physique!

His cultivation realm of Great Perfection in the Ancestor God Realm was laid bare without concealment!

Yet his combat power evidently had already transcended this realm!

Moreover, the most crucial point was not this.

It was Jun Ao Tian's physique!

At this moment, a blazing sun radiating a majestic aura suddenly appeared on his body…

This blazing sun was vast and mighty, its terrifying power manifesting, causing his combat power to surge again!

The eyes of the Jun Family Heavenly Pride glowed with brilliant light, bearing a sense of glorious pride.

This is the Jun Family's timeless first person, possessing an overwhelmingly powerful Blazing Sun Holy Body, truly extraordinary!

"Blazing Sun Holy Body?"

"It's indeed extraordinary… but… that's all there is!"

Ye Wuque's eyes remained calm, his expression unchanged.

"Seeking death!"

Jun Ao Tian snorted coldly, fully activating the Blazing Sun Holy Body.

"Blazing Sun Palm!"

He unleashed the signature move of this physique, turning the radiant blazing sun into a colossal palm that covered the heavens, crushing the ten directions and shaking the Nine Heavens!

The scorching sun burned the sky; within a radius of one hundred thousand li, temperature rose sharply, a terrifying scene!

Ye Wuque, standing at the palm's center, felt no fear and countered with a fist that thundered out!

No technique was used, it was just this most ordinary punch.

But from Jun Ao Tian's viewpoint, the entire heavens and universe seemed to consist of only this punch!

He could see nothing!

He only saw a terrifying massive fist spanning the heavens rapidly expanding!

Charging toward him!

His invincible Raging Sun Palm was instantly erased by Ye Wuque's plain, unremarkable punch!

Then, a sky‑covering onslaught pressed down on him!

Jun Ao Tian's color turned horrified in an instant, and he let out a fierce long howl!

Boom—boom—boom!

He opened his mouth and spat out a great sun; this is his Destined Sun, the core of his Righteous Sun Holy Body!

Ye Wuque's casual punch forced Jun Ao Tian into this situation!

The group of young Heavenly Pride of the Jun family behind Jun Ao Tian all turned pale instantly.

"What? How could this be?"

"Why did Lord Ao Tian resort to this move so quickly?"

"This is his trump card within a trump card! He would never use it except at the moment of life and death!"

"Could it be that—!"

Their expressions instantly grew extremely solemn, with a deep sense of disbelief!

It wasn't just them; in the surrounding area, many young heroes were also alarmed by the terrifying aura here.

"Huh? Who is that? How could they force the Jun family's Ancient Freak to this point?"

"How is this possible? Why hadn't we seen this individual before? Could it be a peerless figure from Nine Heavens?"

"Regardless of who he is, to force the Jun family's ancient divine son to use this move, he must be proud enough!"

Many Heavenly Pride were abuzz with discussion.

Jun Ao Tian expelled his Destined Sun, then formed a complex seal with both hands, unleashing a terrifying aura that seemed to aim to incinerate the world!

"Eternal Sun Slash!"

Under the blaze of his Destined Sun, his figure rose sharply, becoming even more towering and unfathomable!

He fashioned a blade with his hand, gathering the boundless power of that sun into this slash.

Then, he cleaved down fiercely toward Ye Wuque!

Boom!

Divine radiance glittered, illuminating Zhutian Huanyu!

His ultimate technique activated!

"Die, ants!"

He let out a roar full of exhilaration!

However, Jun Ao Tian's ferocious grin quickly froze on his face!

He suddenly saw that his terrifying strike, which had gathered his supreme might, had solidified in the Void.

It remained there, suspended in front of Ye Wuque's body.

Not even an inch could be advanced!

"This is impossible!"

Jun Ao Tian suddenly let out a shout full of disbelief!

His Dark Eyes had already narrowed to the size of a needle tip!

He saw that his terrifying technique, capable of destroying heaven and earth and subduing all, was blocked by a single leg hair of Ye Wuque…!

Not only Jun Ao Tian, but also the group of Jun family heroes behind him, and many Heavenly Pride nearby, all witnessed this world‑shaking scene!

None of them were untouched; they felt as if struck by lightning, their minds roaring, their scalp seeming ready to explode!

A single leg hair blocked the Jun family's ancient divine son's supreme strike!

Is this defying the heavens?!

Many Heavenly Pride cleared their throats, speaking with difficulty:

"It's catastrophic… the Heavenly Pride formation of the Ancient Imperial Tomb… the heavens are about to change…"

"A rebellious monster is about to emerge across the sky, rising against the heavens…"

At this moment, standing casually in the Void, Ye Wuque—who had remained silent—finally spoke lightly, but his tone carried an unmistakable deep disappointment!

"I originally thought I could finally have a good, satisfying moment."

"Didn't expect…"

"Not even a single hair on me can stand up…"

"What a… worthless thing!"

"Not even worth dying for!"
