"Another one?"

Pangu Yun and the troublemaker Little Zhu Yan couldn't help but exclaim in a lowered tone. Not just them, among the people present, other than the monkey, Golden Sky Ant, and Vermilion Bird, there was likely no one else who knew about the existence of an even more formidable being within this "Original Restricted Zone." Even the two Supreme Elders from the Cauldron Sect and the Wang family, who died with unresolved grievances, could never have imagined in their wildest dreams that they would die like this, with a creature possibly even more formidable than the fierce monkey standing behind them.

"Stop shouting, I like peace and quiet. If you must make noise, I don't mind killing you!"

From within the rolling thick smoke came an elder's voice, calm as if it didn't regard the monkey in the slightest. It seemed as if everything here was under its control, though it was simply disdainful of interference. This was true ruthlessness and dominance, an absolute disregard for others.

"How arrogant!"

The monkey wasn't one to back down, naturally a battle enthusiast, invincible and ready to strike at any moment of disagreement. Upon hearing the elderly voice, it brandished the Desolate Sky Halberd in its hand, forcibly splitting the dense smoke!

Bang!

The Divine Monkey shattered the thick smoke with the Desolate Sky Halberd in its hand. Ye Tianchen, Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, and Little Zhu Yan all focused intently on the depths of the thick mist, eager to reveal the appearance of the being reputed to be the strongest in this realm, concealed within the "Original Restricted Zone." What sort of creature, with a turtle's head and snake's head, could reach here silently and easily slay formidable beings like the two Supreme Elders of the Cauldron Sect and the Wang family in a single strike?

Yet, after the monkey's Desolate Sky Halberd forcefully split the mist, it was still blocked by a powerful force. This being seemed reluctant to reveal its true form, as if accustomed to remaining hidden!

"Are you just going to skulk around? Afraid to come out and fight me?" The Divine Monkey roared, pointing the Desolate Sky Halberd toward the depths of the mist.

"Fight me? All of you here are my juniors, ants in my eyes. During my reign over the Martial Arts World, your forebears weren't even born yet. You lack the qualification. You should await your demise; that would be best." The elder voice retained its calmness, as if everyone's life and death were within its grasp, dismissive of Ye Tianchen and the others, as well as strong beings like the Divine Monkey, Golden Sky Ant, and Vermilion Bird.

"Old guy, don't you think you're being too arrogant?" Golden Sky Ant said with some arrogance.

"A little ant dares to talk back; it seems I've slumbered for too long!"

"Then let you slumber forever!" Vermilion Bird voiced its dissatisfaction.

"In my eyes, you're merely a bird, far from being comparable to a true Pure Blood Vermilion Bird, entirely of a different tier!"

At this moment, the Divine Monkey, Golden Sky Ant, and Vermilion Bird felt a camaraderie in their resentment, despite the enmity passed down from their forebears persisting to their generation, often unceasing until death. However, more importantly, they were all outstanding members of the younger generation within the "Original Restricted Zone," elite among either the Ancient Clan or the Demon Clan. Even without the grudges of the elders, they would engage in slaughter and war, striving to determine who is truly the strongest. The previous generation's grievances acted merely as a catalyst.

Yet, within the Original Restricted Zone lurked such an ancient, immensely powerful being. In single combat, the Divine Monkey, Golden Sky Ant, and Vermilion Bird might not stand a chance against it, as they all understood clearly: this creature had existed in the "Original Restricted Zone" for an extraordinarily long time, possibly over ten thousand years. That is to say, it has lived for over ten thousand years' span, rarely appearing but always in a state of slumber. From their childhood, their ancestors had warned them about a terrifying being in the depths of the "Original Restricted Zone" that usually remained dormant, yet it was incredibly strong and fearful, nearly invincible, best left unprovoked if possible.

No one expected that this fearsome and ancient being would emerge, perhaps stirred by the brawl of the monkey and others, perhaps for some exotic treasure, or maybe to devour some Human Clan's Blood and Flesh Treasure Medicine. Anyway, the old monster emerged; things probably wouldn't end peacefully, and who knows what changes might unfold. From its words, it seemed intent on killing everyone present.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

There was no need for discussion or negotiation; it wasn't even considered a collaboration, only because it was mutually beneficial. The Divine Monkey, Vermilion Bird, and Golden Sky Ant all attacked the dense fog together, each unleashing powerful divine arts of their lineage, trying to force the hidden powerful entity to reveal itself.

Ye Tianchen, Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, Jing Wuhuan, Little Zhu Yan, all watched intently. They were eager to know what the most powerful entity in this "Original Restricted Zone" truly looked like. Why had it been in a state of slumber for so long? How had it lived for nearly ten thousand years? Was there something special about it?

Of course, Ye Tianchen and the others would not take action. They were in a hostile state with the Divine Monkey, Golden Sky Ant, and Vermilion Bird, who might turn against them at any moment. But now that the most powerful entity of the "Original Restricted Zone" had appeared, their attention was drawn to it instead!

The reason the Divine Monkey, Golden Sky Ant, and Vermilion Bird joined forces was simple—they didn't know how powerful this ancient entity was, and it held them in disdain. If they didn't attack together, they feared they wouldn't even catch a glimpse of the ancient entity's true form. If it proved too strong, in the interest of survival, they might be forced to join forces, a tacit understanding never spoken but demonstrated through actions.

Bang!

Sure enough, the Divine Monkey, Vermilion Bird, and Golden Sky Ant swept through the dense fog, forcibly leveling it. A not-so-massive figure appeared before everyone, shocking all present into wide-eyed astonishment. Not only were Ye Tianchen and his group utterly surprised, but the Divine Monkey, Vermilion Bird, and Golden Sky Ant were also stunned. It was their first time seeing the true appearance of this most powerful ancient entity of the "Original Restricted Zone," and it was rather peculiar, leaving everyone speechless for a moment!

In front of Ye Tianchen and the others appeared a giant turtle, but this turtle was different because its tail was actually a large snake. It seemed like one body birthed two different creatures, incredibly strange and mysterious, with no one knowing what it was.

"Damn, it's actually it, run, run, run away..." Little Zhu Yan was the first to react, saying as he turned to flee!

Boom!

Boom!

Unexpectedly, just as Little Zhu Yan tried to escape, fleeing the Immortal Light Array, black chains burst from the giant turtle's head. These chains were formed from runes, instantly sealing the entire space, wrapping the Immortal Light Array tightly. Little Zhu Yan collided with the black chain, which immediately ignited with a black flame, scaring him into retreating back to Ye Tianchen and the others.

"Since I've come, none of you will leave. I rarely appear, so to avoid trouble, I might as well kill you all here!" The giant turtle's head spoke lightly and casually, its calmness unsettling to the others.

"What the hell is this thing that got you so scared?" Ye Tianchen couldn't help but ask secretly through divine thought.

"Don't ask, find a way to escape quickly. There's no one here who can defeat this old monster, not even that monkey would survive an attack!" Little Zhu Yan responded anxiously, scratching his head through divine thought.

"The entire Immortal Light Array has been sealed by this giant turtle's divine skills. Do you think I can break it?" Ye Tianchen replied irritably.

"Your physical body is so strong, you can try. If it doesn't work, use that supreme treasure you have on you; I'm sure it can penetrate a big hole!" Little Zhu Yan said fiercely.

"No, this Original Restricted Zone is too mysterious, with many incredible things, I can't expose myself like this. Besides, I still haven't found the old fisherman and Xiao Ling, and from my current control over this treasure, it's difficult to unleash its true power!" Ye Tianchen shook his head.

"True, otherwise, with that supreme treasure, if you could unleash its power, you'd be at least the second or third strongest in the Martial Arts World!" Little Zhu Yan shot a glance at Ye Tianchen.

"Don't change the subject, what is the origin of this giant turtle? I sense its aura is very calm, yet it instills fear and unease, suggesting unimaginable strength. What exactly is it?" Ye Tianchen whispered.

Little Zhu Yan looked at the giant turtle, then at the Divine Monkey, Vermilion Bird, and Golden Sky Ant, mischievously smiled and said, "Now that the giant turtle has emerged, those three monsters will probably lose their lives, but we are equally in danger. We must find an opening to escape during their battle!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian [qidian.com] with recommendation tickets, monthly tickets.
