"This time, the Ancient Ruins appeared inside the Beast Bone Mountain Range of the Beast Region."
"That place can be considered the territory of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan. It's rumored that within the ruins, there exists a Heaven Grade Dou Technique."
"I'm sure the strong ones from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan will definitely join in. When that happens, the fight will be extremely intense. We should be careful. Once we get the Soul Baby Fruit, we leave immediately, alright?" Qing Lin said.
"Heaven Grade Dou Technique, huh!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes turning toward Wei Yang. "Brother Wei, what do you think?"
A Heaven Grade Dou Technique — he really wanted to study it, to see whether it was superior or inferior compared to his own Angry Buddha Lotus Flame.
One shouldn't draw conclusions without proof. Without testing and comparison, one had no right to speak. Wei Yang frowned slightly. He too wanted to find out just what kind of creation the Great Heaven Creation Palm truly was.
How did it compare to Black Sun Burning Heaven Palm?
How did it fare against Black Sun Calamity, Ten Sun Destruction?
He murmured, "How about… we study it?"
"Of course we have to study it." Xiao Yan nodded firmly.
"Alright, let's study it then." Wei Yang nodded.
"Heh heh." Xiao Yan grinned, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Just grabbing the Soul Baby Fruit and leaving — that felt a little too unsatisfying. It wasn't like they lacked the strength to compete for it.
They just wanted to study it a bit, what's wrong with that?
"Then it's settled. The Soul Baby Fruit is the minimum goal — we must get that. As for the rest, we'll try to get as much as possible." Wei Yang decided.
Swish~
After traveling for another four days or so, the vast mountain range at the edge of their vision finally appeared before them.
That place — was the Beast Region.
The Beast Region's might not be as vast as Central Plains, but it was not to be underestimated. The endless overlapping mountains stretching far beyond sight were enough to make one feel the wild and untamed aura unique to this land.
Though the Beast Region was said to contain "One Hundred Thousand Mountains," that was only a figure of speech. If one were to count them carefully, wouldn't the number be far more than a million?
In short, the number definitely far exceeded one hundred thousand. These mountain ranges stretched beyond the reach of human power. The passage of endless years had left countless treasures buried within.
All that awaited were those with fate to discover them.
The location of this ancient ruin was within the Beast Bone Mountain Range of the Beast Region. Within the Beast Region, the Beast Bone Mountain Range was quite famous. That was because it contained a sea of bones terrifying enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
Countless beast skeletons had been thrown there. Over time, as years passed, the strange beastly power contained within those bones would slowly dissipate.
That kind of energy might be useless to humans, but to magic beasts, it was a fine tonic. Thus, the Beast Bone Mountain Range had become a place where many magic beasts loved to gather.
It was located in the southwestern part of the Beast Region.
Worried that the Soul Baby Fruit might be snatched up by others first, Wei Yang's group didn't rest much after entering the Beast Region. They went straight toward the Beast Bone Mountain Range without stopping.
At this time, the Beast Region was bustling with activity.
Because of the Ancient Ruins' emergence, the entire land had fallen into commotion. On their way toward the Beast Bone Mountain Range, Wei Yang and the others encountered quite a few powerhouses clearly heading to the same destination.
Among them were magic beasts capable of taking human form, as well as human experts who had come from beyond the Beast Region after hearing the news. Clearly, all of them were drawn by the rumor of the Ancient Ruins.
"This water sure is muddy!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Experts of the Dou Zong and Dou Zun level — normally hard to come across — now appeared one after another along the road, as if they were nothing special. No one knew who had spread the news that the Ancient Ruins this time contained a Heaven Grade Dou Technique.
But that rumor alone had stirred countless forces into motion. Many major powers were clearly aiming straight for that Heaven Grade Dou Technique. As for the earlier rumor about the Soul Baby Fruit, very few still paid attention to it.
After all, for many people — especially those large factions — a Soul Baby Fruit, something that could restore one's Essence Spiritual Qi and increase soul power, was far less tempting than a Heaven Grade Dou Technique.
That alone showed just how irresistible a Heaven Grade Dou Technique truly was. Especially one passed down since ancient times — the mystery surrounding it made it even more alluring. After all, the Flame Mantra Xiao Yan cultivated also came from an ancient ruin.
After traveling two more days across the endless mountains of the vast Beast Region...that distant place suddenly revealed a distinct patch of ghastly white. That pale color, appearing amidst the endless greenery of the mountain range, looked particularly abrupt and out of place.
However, the many experts rushing along were all instantly lifted in spirit. The Beast Bone Mountain Range — they had finally arrived.
By the time they reached here, the air above was already crowded with silhouettes flashing past in every direction. From all around, countless powerful individuals had gathered at this spot.
Every now and then, one or even dozens of figures would sweep through the sky like a gust of wind, heading straight toward that ghostly white mountain range in the distance.
As the group drew nearer, Wei Yang and the others stood up. Their gazes swept forward — faint traces of numerous formidable auras could already be sensed. At this point, the Beast Bone Mountain Range was truly a place where humans and beasts mingled together.
Forces of all kinds, experts of every type, had gathered here.
"Du Jiao, stop and change back into human form," Wei Yang lightly tapped the scales beneath his feet and said, "Let's keep a low profile for now, or we'll become everyone's target."
Whoosh!
Du Jiao came to an abrupt stop. Then, as a burst of violet light flared, his enormous serpent body swiftly transformed into human form.
"Let's go." Wei Yang took the lead.
Xiao Yan and the others followed closely behind. The six of them flew across the vast mountains above. The outer region of the range was now utterly swarming with people.
Looking around, countless encampments dotted the land.
The deafening noise made this once tranquil mountain range seem more like a massive marketplace. Countless shouts and clamors rolled through the air like a tidal wave.
Amid this sea of people, there were occasionally a few powerful auras so overwhelming that even Xiao Yan and Qing Lin couldn't help but glance over in surprise. Clearly, those were experts at least of the mid-tier Dou Zun level, mixed within the crowd.
After weaving through the mountain range for quite some time, Wei Yang's group finally landed on a rather secluded peak. At this moment, a force of several dozen people had already occupied this mountaintop.
But when they sensed the arrival of Wei Yang's group — along with the faint but terrifying aura radiating from them — that faction didn't dare say a word. They obediently packed up and left, vacating the area without hesitation.
"Knows the situation well."
Wei Yang nodded in satisfaction, then casually tossed out a bottle of Tier 6 pills as a reward, sending them off. He wasn't stingy toward those who knew their place.
Standing atop the mountain peak, the group gazed out toward the pale mountain range ahead. An endless ocean of beast skeletons stretched before them, the sight of which made one's scalp tingle. Just how many magic beasts had died here to create such a vast expanse of bones?
"This place… this kind of environment, it reminds me of a certain Heavenly Flame." Wei Yang said softly.
"Heavenly Flame?" Xiao Yan and the others were all momentarily stunned.
Wasn't this supposed to be an Ancient Ruin's emergence?
What did it have to do with Heavenly Flames?
But in the next moment, Xiao Yan was the first to react, his eyes widening in surprise. "Brother Wei, don't tell me you mean… the Ten Thousand Beast Flame?"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Looking carefully once more at the vast sea of bones before them, they couldn't deny — it was possible.
"Exactly." Wei Yang nodded, pointing toward the endless bone sea ahead. "Look at this. The number of beast bones must be in the billions, at least. In such an environment — if even here a Ten Thousand Beast Flame can't be born — then I truly can't imagine where else it could appear."
"Good point." Xiao Yan nodded, then licked his lips in excitement, his eyes shining. "Then we'd better search thoroughly!"
If anyone else had said this, Xiao Yan might have been skeptical. But since it came from Wei Yang, it was almost certainly true.
"Right now, countless experts have gathered here, humans and beasts all mixed together. Even the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan can't keep full control. If you're interested, now's definitely the best time to look."
Wei Yang withdrew his gaze and turned around, stretching lazily as he walked toward the largest tent at the center. "The ruins won't open completely for a few more days. If you want to look for it, go ahead. But keep in mind — this is the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan's territory. Be prepared for the possibility that the Ten Thousand Beast Flame has already been taken… or is being kept under their control."
