"Xiao Yao? Who is Xiao Yao, renowned through the ages, with the highest combat power, surpassing both the Human Emperor and Dragon God? Where did he come from?"

"I don't know, surpassing the Human Emperor and Dragon God, this person is sure to become famous throughout the world. The Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm is likely to face a new storm of blood and fury!"

"Let's go, we should quickly visit the Ancient Ruins Stele, maybe we can see his appearance, and it would be wise never to offend him in the future."

"The Demon Realm is about to change. Back when the Human Emperor and Dragon God rose to fame, they both faced a great battle. This person might provoke a similar conflict."

The names left on the Ancient Ruins Stele have always belonged to the supreme beings of the Demon Realm, especially the Human Emperor and the Dragon God. One human, one demon; though the Human Emperor ranks first, in reality, their strength wasn't much different, just a slight edge.

But this Xiao Yao is different; he has directly surpassed the Human Emperor and ranks first. It's unknown if his strength is just a little stronger or much stronger than the Human Emperor.

Whoever ranks first must be the strongest of the time.

...

Meanwhile, Duobao Daoist Venerable, Chen Han, and Li Zhongdao were walking together.

The Celestial Realm's secret realm is extremely dangerous. Even as Daoist Venerables, they need to be extremely cautious, as there are many mysterious entities here, all possessing strength equivalent to Daoist Venerables, unable to leave the secret realm, only remaining here.

"The Human Emperor's name has been surpassed. Who is this Xiao Yao, could it be that mysterious Daoist Venerable?" Duobao Daoist Venerable looked at the sky with the shimmering golden name in astonishment.

To have the highest combat power, could it be that mysterious Daoist Venerable?

Because the powerful figures encountered in recent days were precisely that mysterious Daoist Venerable. To ascend the Ancient Ruins Stele as a Daoist Venerable is indeed extraordinary.

The Ancient Ruins Stele evaluates not just combat power but also potential. The Human Emperor and Dragon God left their names as Daoist Venerables; they were powerful, and everyone acknowledged it. Now, appearing from nowhere, Xiao Yao suppresses both, indicating his strength and potential surpass those of the Human Emperor and Dragon God.

"Should we go take a look?" Chen Han suggested.

"No need, the Dragon Sun Red Flame Fruit is more important, only ripening every five thousand years with merely three fruits each time, just enough for the three of us. Even if it's that mysterious Daoist Venerable, it won't matter." Duobao Daoist Venerable shook his head.

"Yes, the Dragon Sun Red Flame Fruit is more important." Li Zhongdao, beside them, surprisingly agreed, which shocked both Chen Han and Zhang Dabao.

Didn't Li Zhongdao want to kill that mysterious Daoist Venerable?

Why not go this time?

...

"Congratulations, Master, on achieving first in combat power, leaving a name throughout the ages, surpassing the Human Emperor and Dragon God to become the number one in the Demon Realm!"

The Golden-Winged Roc promptly ran up to clasp its fists in congratulations, feeling gratified, even deliberately raising its voice by a few decibels.

Upon hearing the Golden-Winged Roc's words, the people and demons around were taken aback.

This person is actually the master of the Golden-Winged Roc, no wonder he has reached the top rank, truly formidable.

"Congratulations, Master!" The Snake Woman also quickly stepped forward to congratulate.

The crowd was once again stunned. Even the Snake Woman had become a servant of this person?

To turn two Daoist Venerables of the Demon Race into servants, he must be even more formidable than the Dragon God.

"Let's go." Chen Lan spoke calmly, as the Ancient Ruins Stele was nothing novel, just a ranking list with no rewards to offer.

He needed to seek out the Thunder Emperor's Dao Body and didn't have time to waste here.

In an instant, Chen Lan left the Ancient Ruins Stele with the two demons.

Soon, groups of people arrived. The news that two Daoist Venerables of the Demon Race had submitted to a new master quickly spread, astonishing everyone.

...

A while later.

In the sky above the secret realm, a golden-feathered bird soared across the sky, on whose back a young man meditated with closed eyes, accompanied by a seductive Snake Scorpion Beauty massaging his legs and shoulders. The young man was Chen Lan.

They were en route to the Thunder Forbidden Zone, where the Thunder Emperor's Dao Body resided.

"Master, there seems to be a commotion over there, it looks like two Daoist Venerables are battling, should we go take a look?" The Golden-Winged Roc observed a big battle in the distance, involving Daoist Venerables, though it was too far to see which two were fighting.

Chen Lan slowly opened his eyes, his Divine Sense reaching out, seeing an old woman and a large tree fighting, both were Daoist Venerables.

"Let's take a look." Chen Lan said calmly.

"Alright." The Golden-Winged Roc immediately flew that way.

Before getting close, a shout was heard: "Unrelated people, get lost!"

The power of the Dao vibrated forth, causing the Golden-Winged Roc to hastily stop, speaking in surprise: "Master, this Dao Power contains both the Great Dao of Wood and the Great Dao of Poison, nearly reaching the perfect state, this Daoist Venerable is not to be underestimated."

"No matter, let's observe first." Chen Lan said calmly, his Divine Sense focusing on the ancient tree.

That ancient tree was peculiar, bearing a human face, without branches, an ancient withered tree emitting a terrifying aura, a genuine Daoist Venerable.

Looking at the old woman, Chen Lan suddenly froze, his eyes momentarily losing focus.

"Master, what's wrong?" The Snake Woman asked in confusion upon seeing Chen Lan's reaction.

"Nothing." Chen Lan shook his head, continuing to look at the old woman.

Why do I feel a sense of closeness from her, as if I've seen her somewhere, yet I have never met her?

Since this is my first time in the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm, how could I know these people?

Could it be, from a past life?

"This is my battle with it, leave quickly!" Another shouted command came, a cloud of poison gas quickly spreading over.

Upon seeing this, the Golden-Winged Roc flapped its wings to dispel the poison gas, speaking coldly: "We're just passing by and haven't made a move."

"Master, they are too presumptuous, we can't even take a look." The Golden-Winged Roc whispered.

"Master, let me deal with them." The Snake Woman suggested.

"Go ahead." Chen Lan replied indifferently.

"I'm coming too!" The Golden-Winged Roc hastily shouted, not wanting the Snake Woman to take all the credit alone.

Chen Lan nodded, granting permission.

In an instant, the serpent and bird rushed towards the ancient tree and the old woman.

Chen Lan stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching their battle, his gaze fixed on the old woman.

The sense of familiarity was becoming stronger. Could it be that he actually knew this old woman?

He used the Celestial Eye, hoping to uncover the secrets of the old woman, but suddenly his body jerked back in shock, retreating repeatedly, staring in disbelief.

He saw a faint red causality line appearing on the old woman, and the end of this causality line ultimately connected to him!

This…how is it possible, he had never seen his own causality line before, and the first time he sees it, it's connected to this old woman. Who on earth is she?

Chen Lan's emotions were extremely complex and shocked; he didn't know what to do. It was the first time he had seen his own causality line. Slowly, he reached out his hand, trying to touch that causality line.

Bang!

Upon touching the causality line, Chen Lan was instantly repelled, a mysterious force sending him flying, crashing heavily to the ground, creating a deep pit, dust rolling.

Lying in the deep pit, Chen Lan was unscathed, a wry smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, causality is not to be meddled with.

But at the moment, that old woman cannot die; she might know more about his secrets!
