Chapter 45

Just then——

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five vast and boundless auras descended again, the titanic figures of the Five Supreme Heavenly Domains reappeared in the high sky, looking down.

Almost simultaneously, from several different directions on the platform, a few small teams that instantly drew everyone's gaze slowly ascended the stage.

These people numbered only twenty or thirty, coming from different places, but as soon as they appeared, the myriad soaring auras that had originally filled the platform seemed to be instantly suppressed!

The other Heavenly Prides on the platform almost instinctively retreated like a tide, voluntarily clearing a huge open space; when they looked at those teams, their eyes were filled with awe, apprehension, envy, and even a hint of fear!

"They're here! They…… finally arrived!"

A Heavenly Pride's voice was dry, trembling as he whispered.

"The true monsters of the Five Supreme Heavenly Domains! Monsters among monsters!"

"The young generation of the Vast Heaven…… truly the pinnacle sovereigns!"

"Only they are the greatest beneficiaries and…… rulers within the Ancient God's Tomb!"

"Compared to them, we…… sigh……"

Countless stifled gasps and discussions spread through the crowd, yet none dared to speak loudly, as if afraid to disturb those beings.

Duan Xiu Luo also had an extremely solemn expression, lowering his voice to urgently tell Ye Wuque:

"Brother Ye, inside the Ancient God's Tomb, if you encounter these people, you must be extremely careful! Avoid them if you can, and try not to clash with them!"

They are all supreme monsters who have long shaken the Vast Heaven! From birth they have enjoyed the top-tier resources and inheritances of the Supreme Heavenly Domains, their foundations strong beyond imagination! Their combat power cannot be measured by common sense!

Especially a few among them, they are so heaven-defying as to be unimaginable! To ordinary Heavenly Prides of mundane heavenly domains, they are terrifying existences whose backs one could never hope to glimpse even after a lifetime!

Ye Wuque, upon hearing this, also turned his gaze toward the few teams that had just mounted the stage.

His gaze first fell upon the young man leading one of those teams.

He wore a Star-Fate robe, his visage handsome, his bearing transcendent, his whole body shrouded in a layer of mysterious fate mist, as if every gesture could stir the flow of causality.

His aura lay deep and hidden, yet it gave Ye Wuque an extremely dangerous feeling, as if he were being stared down by a venomous snake lurking in the Fate River.

Moreover, as Ye Wuque's mastery of the Way of Causality grew ever deeper, he instantly sensed from this man a causal thread sharing the same origin as the Yun Changming he had slain before, but incomparably richer and stronger!

"A person from the Fate Divine Mountain…… and moreover, he is deeply connected to that Yun Changming……"

Ye Wuque understood instantly.

Indeed, the instant Ye Wuque's gaze lingered, the man seemed to sense something, swiftly turning his head; those deep eyes, like whirlpools of fate, instantly crossed the crowd and locked precisely onto Ye Wuque!

Their gazes collided in the void!

The Fate Divine Mountain man's gaze first flickered with a hint of doubt, then the mysterious fate mist surrounding him rippled slightly, as if he were calculating something.

After a few breaths, a bone-chilling, icy killing intent capable of freezing the Star River burst forth from the depths of his pupils!

He fixed his stare on Ye Wuque, the corner of his mouth slowly curving into an arc; that smile seemed gentle, yet it harbored a chilling resentment and killing intent!

He did not speak, merely moving his lips slightly to utter a few words silently.

Ye Wuque read his lips clearly and made out the sentence:

"Very good…… you dared to kill my brother Yun Changkong…… good, good, good…… truly interesting……"

Faced with Yun Changkong's undisguised killing intent, Ye Wuque's expression remained calm, his heart undisturbed; on the contrary, he felt it was only natural.

It's not strange that the Fate Divine Sect, with its uncanny methods, could deduce that he had slain Yun Changming.

This grudge had already been forged; it was merely a matter of time before they would meet.

He calmly shifted his gaze, as if merely noticing an insignificant passerby, and turned his attention to the other monsters of the Supreme Heavenly Domains.

On the War God Heavenly Domain side, the leader was a wild youth bare-chested, his muscles knotted like dragons, bearing a Great Axe the size of a door plank; his qi and blood surged like a humanoid tyrannosaur, his battle spirit almost breaking the firmament—exactly the domain's monster that General Bian Xingyu had previously favored.

The leader of the Ethereal Heavenly Domain was a woman clad in moon-white gauze, her posture graceful, her face veiled in hazy immortal light; her aura was ethereal and elusive, as if she were one with heaven and earth, making her hard to grasp.

The Desolate Heavenly Domain was represented by a wild youth riding an ancient primordial beast, wielding a white bone club, baring his ferocious teeth, his eyes cruel as he scanned the surroundings—like an untamed savage war god.

However, Ye Wuque's gaze was ultimately drawn elsewhere.

That was the team from the Boundless Heavenly Domain, the fewest in number—only three or five—completely enveloped in large gray cloaks that hid their faces and forms, their aura retracted to the extreme, as if they did not exist in this space.

Yet Ye Wuque's intuition told him that these silhouettes shrouded in cloaks, especially the leading one who remained silent and seemed to merge with the shadows, were the most unfathomable among this group of supreme monsters, the very presence that made him feel a hint of danger!

"Somewhat interesting……"

In Ye Wuque's heart, there was no fear; instead, a long-dormant fighting spirit and anticipation slowly rose.

This Ancient God's Tomb is indeed not boring.

Finally, he could encounter some…… opponents worth his taking a bit more seriously.

"Finally, I've met a Heavenly Pride who can really let me 'stretch my bones'……"

He muttered softly, the corner of his mouth lifting in an icy arc unnoticed by anyone.

And just then, high above the heavens, General Bian Xingyu's bell-like voice once again shook the firmament:

"The time has come! The Ancient God's Tomb…… opens!"
