Chapter 814: Chapter 454: Entering the Holy Land, Facing the Sun!_2

"Oh?"

Shangguan Youqi said, "So, this Drought Demon just now, you meant to give us as tomb goods?"

"If you regard It as burial goods, it might as well be."

The True Sun Monarch said quietly, "This Saint Master’s abilities have been clear to me since you entered the domain of the Holy Land... Despite having infinite mana and being able to seize the True Fire Qi Mechanism from the Drought Demon’s body, in terms of cultivation, you are ultimately unattained to the Martial Saint level. Though your combat strength is high, it is still limited to within the Fifth Heaven."

"The only thing that I could not grasp was you, the master of the Upper Heaven."

"Using this Drought Demon to force your hand earlier did indeed bring some peace to my mind."

"You once had the potential to break through the Nine Heavens relying solely on your own cultivation without external assistance."

"Unfortunately, after the Ancient era, the First Human Emperor fell, and catastrophe struck, leaving you with a Dao injury that has not healed to this day."

"Now, even in slaughtering a single Drought Demon, you failed to kill it, allowing this Human Race Saint Master to give it the final blow for you."

The True Sun Monarch said slowly, "Given your injuries, you are no longer a concern."

Lin Yan’s expression was peculiar as he glanced at Shangguan Youqi.

He had long known that this person had an extraordinary background.

Yet he hadn’t anticipated just how significant it was.

Previously aware that Shangguan Youqi came from the Upper Heaven, he also realized that this person should be the ruler of the Upper Heaven.

Moreover, previously, Shangguan Youqi seemed out of place in this era, so Lin Yan had speculated that this was someone who, using the Time Forbidden Technique, emulated the ancient evils to slumber until the current era!

When earlier confronted by that white-furred evil beast, Lin Yan further solidified this idea.

But hearing the words of the True Sun Monarch genuinely caused a hard-to-describe shock in his heart!

This is an ancient being who stood alongside the First Human Emperor in the same era!

A witness to the end of a flourishing dynasty of the Human Clan after the Ancient era!

An experience of the Human Clan’s calamities!

An encounter with the disasters faced by the Human Clan!

"Who would have thought, is this landlord’s fool really that old?"

The Little White Ape gasped, thinking to himself, "His age surpasses even my eighteen generations of ancestors, yet he has the nerve to call me White Brother, how bold to pretend to be young? Why is this old cucumber painted green for no reason?"

"..."

Shangguan Youqi chuckled lightly, seeming a bit shy.

His skin was fair, his figure upright, resembling an unworldly youth.

He turned his head and said, "Fifth Master, actually I’ve been mostly dormant, unaware of external matters... If truly calculated, I am not that old."

"Old chap, cut the chatter."

Lin Yan pointed his blade toward Shangri Sacred Land, saying, "This guy looks too afraid to come out. If we don’t go in, the matters of Shangri Sacred Land can’t be resolved..."

Shangguan Youqi reached out to touch his cheek and said, "No worries, actually, we’ve always been within Shangri Sacred Land."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan’s heart shook.

Suddenly, the scene around him began to distort!

The scene that reflected in the water ripples ahead was indeed around them!

They were not standing on the barren land, not outside the Sacred Land!

They had already stepped inside the Sacred Land from the start.

Only the intensely scorching True Sun Fire twisted the void and distorted perception.

"Truly worthy of the Lord of Heaven, indeed extraordinary, to see through the illusion of the Great Sun Shocking God Technique!"

A figure emerged not far away, shaped like an elder, with glossy skin and abundant Qi-Blood, remarking, "Just wondering, with the skills of the Lord of Heaven, can the Sacred Land be broken, and escape this place?"

Shangguan Youqi tilted his head and said, "Fifth Master, can you see? We are eager to pacify Shangri Sacred Land, yet they are more eager... Eager to devour us, to solidify Its Godhood Authority!"

"Your Excellency speaks truly."

This elder stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "With the Divine Monarch in this world, there is nothing to fear. Only previously, I was afraid that you wouldn’t enter the Sacred Land and would turn away..."

He said, raising both hands, "Though I am esteemed as the Saint Master in the outside world, I dare not claim superiority over the two of you!"

"But now, the two of you have entered my dojo in the Holy Land, you are within my grasp..."

"A fish in the net, a bird returning to the cage."

"Everything is perfect, please go to your deaths!"

——

Heavenly Destiny City.

A cluster of flames was seen suspended in the air, burning without a source.

The flames had already grown over nine meters high.

The old Taoist’s expression was extremely solemn.

The three Elders of Upper Heaven exchanged a glance, each showing a grave expression.

"More fierce than expected." The Elder in the Sun Robe whispered, "Logically, after the Great Sun God Monarch’s fall, the sun in Shangri Sacred Land should be rootless water."

"Beneath the two Divine Mountains, this sun faces extinguishment at any time."

"Once extinguished, Shangri Sacred Land will lose its imposing aura of illuminating thousands of miles."

"When that time comes, at least eighty percent of Shangri Sacred Land will become Forbidden Land, occupied by evils."

Speaking thus, the Elder in the Sun Robe whispered, "Back then, the Ancient Dragon Ancestor foresaw the abnormality of this sun and commanded us to be vigilant at all times."

"Thought it merely showed traces of revival, now it seems it was hidden for a long time!"

"If the flames were below three meters, it would signify this sun’s divinity had only recently awakened, and His Highness could directly suppress it."

"Now it is already over nine meters, completely beyond expectations, this sun is nearly the power of an ’Ancient Old God’."

With the Elder in the Sun Robe’s words, the faces of the remaining two Elders sank.

The old Taoist paced back and forth, asking, "What should be done? I just attempted a divination, almost exhausted my remaining scant life span, yet couldn’t discern any clue!"

"This sun is the Supreme Treasure of the Great Sun God Monarch above, even can be said to be his offspring!"

The Elder in the Sun Robe shook his head and said, "You predicting Shangri Sacred Land is akin to divining an Old God; with your cultivation and scant remaining life span, not dying on the spot means the Ancient Dragon Ancestor has been secretly protecting you."

The old Taoist’s face was unpleasant, yet he did not refute.

The Elder in the Moon Robe whispered, "No matter how great His Highness’s abilities, ultimately failed to break through Extreme Heaven, unable to stand against an Old God..."

The old Taoist said, "The Saint Master is also present, perhaps the situation won’t be too dire."

The Elder in the Star Robe shook his head and said, "Though Saint Master has a great reputation, he is young, possesses Great Luck, excels above contemporary peers, yet facing an Old God this time!"

"In this era, in the world, the Human Clan’s lives are as insignificant as grass compared to the insects and ants in the grass."

"Reaching the stage of the Saint Master, he is considered transformed into a Jiao Snake, extraordinary, with boundless future ahead, might transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven."

"But the Heavenly God is a True Dragon; if this sun truly has gained divinity, it at least counts as a young dragon!"

"A Jiao emerging from insects and ants, no matter how powerful, cannot surpass a True Dragon."

The Elder in the Sun Robe said solemnly, "But with His Highness’s Heavenly Eye, he can see through all deception... He must have already seen through the ambush outside the Holy Land, aware of the sun’s reality."

"Since he did not leave, but instead chose to enter the Holy Land, he must be absolutely confident in being able to suppress it!"

"Just that we are lacking in abilities, unable to deduce how His Highness and the Saint Master should achieve victory."

——

And within Shangri Sacred Land.

Shangguan Youqi held the Flame Dragon Spear but did not make a move.

He looked at Lin Yan, whispering, "Fifth Master, you kill him! I must face the True Sun Monarch with all my strength and cannot be distracted next... After you cut him down, come to aid me!"

"No problem."

Lin Yan wielded the Night Illuminating Divine Sword, saying, "However, facing evils, I can be stronger! This scoundrel is the Master of Holy Land, not yet transformed into a drought demon, still of Human Clan... Moreover, this Holy Land is his dojo, I cannot swiftly defeat him, must wear him down, at least entangle him for two hours! Can you hold off the True Sun Monarch on your own?"

"I won’t die here."

Shangguan Youqi smiled and said, "Fifth Master, do not rush, once you get rid of this Master of Holy Land, then come to assist me..."
