Chapter 1791: Chapter 1810: Eternally Suppressing the Ancient Times

"The two Daoists truly are my benefactors, not only gifting me an Ancient Strange Flower but also enabling me to discover the entrance to the Ancient Divine Mountain. In gratitude for your kindness, I have a small gift for you."

Shhh shhh shhh!

Like a shower of meteors, as if the souls of the dead were wailing, Ye Xuan casually launched a handful of Soul-shattering Sand straight at the black and white rulers.

Ye Xuan had meticulously refined three thousand grains of Soul-shattering Sand, a vicious substance that targets the Divine Soul. Coupled with his cultivation, even forbidden figures must regard it with caution.

"You dare?"

Ye Xuan’s abrupt attack enraged the black and white rulers. Though they intended to counterstrike, the great ban was still in place, forcing them to defensively withstand Ye Xuan’s assault of Soul-shattering Sand.

Shhh shhh shhh!

"Ah!"

Over a hundred grains of Soul-shattering Sand struck the black and white rulers, causing dreadful black smoke to rise from their bodies, while flashes of death light erupted, stripping away their flesh and evoking furious, anguished roars from their mouths.

Soul-shattering Sand is utterly venomous, crafted by Ye Xuan for this journey to the Ancient Forbidden Land, one of his trump cards.

Yet the black and white rulers were evidently formidable; even after being hit by the Soul-shattering Sand, they suffered only minor injuries, not something that would truly take their lives.

"Difficult to kill!"

Ye Xuan murmured darkly, intending to eradicate them completely, yet the entrance to the Ancient Divine Mountain was rapidly shrinking. If he were to miss the chance to enter the mountain just to kill these two, it would be a loss.

Ye Xuan swiftly weighed the pros and cons before plunging into the swirling water flow. As flashes of Ancient Divine Light flickered, Ye Xuan vanished into the vortex.

"Ye Xuan, you will die a terrible death!"

Boom!

An earth-shattering wave, the pond burst open.

With Ye Xuan entering the ancient portal, the great ban in the pond was also broken. The black and white rulers emerged from the water, frantically attacking the spot where Ye Xuan had disappeared, yet there was no trace of him.

"Damn!" The Black Ruler roared repeatedly, his body bloodied, chunks of flesh falling away, with a pair of scarlet eyes spinning frightfully.

If only an Ancient Strange Flower was taken by Ye Xuan, the black and white rulers wouldn’t be so enraged.

But losing the chance to enter the Ancient Divine Mountain was simply unacceptable to them.

In this Ancient Forbidden Land, the greatest opportunity lies within the Ancient Divine Mountain, and to enter it, one must find the entrance.

The opportunity to enter the Ancient Divine Mountain is fleeting, yet Ye Xuan managed to seize it first, fueling their extreme wrath.

"What do we do now?" the White Ruler asked.

"What else? Quickly find the next entrance. No matter what, we must enter the Ancient Divine Mountain promptly," the Black Ruler replied coldly.

Boom!

The black and white rulers soared into the sky, rapidly vanishing from the valley. From their experience, there’s only one entrance to the Ancient Divine Mountain in any given area.

This entrance, taken first by Ye Xuan, is already closed; even if they were to shatter the entire pond, they couldn’t enter the Ancient Divine Mountain.

...

Buzz!

The world spun, Qiankun Inverted.

Ye Xuan felt disoriented, his mind in a complete state of dizziness, until a piercing glimmer made him squint, dispelling the vertigo.

"This place is...?"

When Ye Xuan saw the scene before him, his expression froze, and he gasped.

A mountain!

A mountain unlike any Ye Xuan had ever seen!

Spanning heaven and earth, vast and ancient!

An endless Divine Mountain floating entirely within the Heavenly Vault, it radiated light—this was Ancient Divine Light. There was an inexplicable Dao Law faintly emanating from the Ancient Divine Mountain, causing Ye Xuan’s heart to tremble violently.

A white jade staircase lay at Ye Xuan’s feet, leading directly to the Ancient Divine Mountain. At a glance, Ye Xuan estimated its length at billions of miles.

Rumble!

The descent of the Divine Stele, intimidating eternally!

A black stone tablet appeared, rooted beside the white jade staircase, inscribed with four characters—Eternal Suppression of Ancient Times!

Thump thump thump!

Upon seeing the four characters on the stele, Ye Xuan felt an incredibly dreadful battle intent emanate from it, forcing him to retreat repeatedly, completely overwhelmed by the aura emitted by the stele.

"Eternal—Suppression—of—Ancient—Times?"

Ye Xuan murmured in shock, as an unimaginable feeling surged within him, stirred by the significance embodied in those four characters.

Phew!

Ye Xuan exhaled deeply, calming himself quickly. Upon looking at the stele again, he could no longer sense the vast, eternal battle intent.

"The things left from the Ancient Times are so terrifying. What would things from the even older Primordial and Desolate Ancient Eras be like?" Ye Xuan whispered softly.

"The young of later generations entering my Ancient Relics must ascend nine billion nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine steps to qualify for my Ancient Divine Mountain."

While Ye Xuan was deep in thought, a majestic, ancient voice echoed through the vast heavens and earth. It sounded worn and hoarse, unable to discern whether it was spoken by a living being.

Rumble!

The white jade ladder shone, with beams of Ancient Divine Light rising from each step, transforming into countless divine lights soaring into the sky. Resonant tones resembling great bells and stately chimes arose within the towering staircase.

Go!

Ye Xuan’s gaze fixed; though unsure how many had entered the Ancient Divine Mountain before him, he knew he must advance swiftly to seize the advantage.

Boom!

Ye Xuan took a step onto the first white jade step, his brows furrowing as a pressure weighed upon him.

Although the pressure was not significant, it was indeed present, leading Ye Xuan to secretly speculate whether he would face increasing pressure with each step until he reached the Divine Mountain.

Ye Xuan had no time to dwell on this as he couldn’t turn back, only able to proceed toward the Ancient Divine Mountain along the towering staircase.

Dong—dong—dong!

Ye Xuan climbed heavenward, with each step he took, the white jade steps beneath him sounded with booming tones, marking the beginning of his ascent.

Indeed!

Ye Xuan’s conjecture proved correct; the path to the Ancient Divine Mountain was exceedingly challenging. As he climbed higher, the burden of pressure on him intensified.

Still, fortunately, given Ye Xuan’s current cultivation level, this pressure was manageable and posed no hindrance, enabling him to ascend rapidly.

Finally!

Ye Xuan had traversed half the distance, sweat beads appeared on his forehead, having taken a hundred years to cover this portion, indicating considerable pressure endured.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly!

Upon looking ahead, Ye Xuan noticed two figures in his view, rapidly climbing.

"Is it them?" Ye Xuan’s expression shifted slightly but soon steadied.

Ye Xuan believed he entered the Ancient Divine Mountain swiftly, yet others had arrived even earlier.

Chaos Divine Sovereign!

Eternal Shadow!

These two forbidden figures, almost simultaneously, were quickly advancing toward the Ancient Divine Mountain, evidently having found the entrance at the same time, securing a leading position.

"These two old monsters are indeed formidable."

Ye Xuan glanced at them sinisterly before continuing to pursue them.
