The Yun Chief shook his head in dismay. Yun Kong had gone mad with the pursuit of power. He would not stop until he got his hands on the power of the Overlord. Did he not know that things would not be that simple? Before he left, the Overlord had specially instructed the Yun clan to keep watch over the ancestral land until the end of the time because the power contained was strong enough to unleash unimaginable chaos on the universe.

  “You’ll only bring your own destruction if you enter the ancestral land,” warned the Yun Chief in a low voice.

  Yun Kong glanced at the altar and said impulsively, “No, you’re wrong! The power of the ancestral land will aid me in reaching the pinnacle!”


  Boom! Suddenly, the altar began to shake. The lines on the stones threw off beams of red light and the fiery red wings in the center were fluttering as if they had come alive. Then, the surrounding area began to shake as well.

  “We have to make the blood sacrifice now or it’ll be too late!”


  “Yun Kong, stop now! Do you really wish to enter the ancestral land that much?”


  “Please, let us sacrifice our blood! There’s still time to repent!”


  “It’s over! The whole world will descend into chaos once the ancestral land is opened.”


  The faces of the Yun Chief and his supporters paled as they tried to make Yun Kong change his mind. They had to sacrifice their blood every 10 years to keep the ancestral land sealed. In other words, the ancestral land would be released if they did not give their blood to the altar at that moment.

  There was a saying from their ancestral teaching. ‘If the ancestral land is open, heaven and earth will fall!’ However, Yun Kong turned a deaf ear to these cries. His eyes were fixed on the altar, and the desire in his eyes became more and more intense, making him look like a maniac.

  After a while, the red light on the altar quickly disappeared, but the tremors became stronger and stronger. The pair of wings exploded with a bang, revealing a long and narrow gap. Then, a giant door appeared and it slowly opened.

  “The…the ancestral land really appeared!”


  Everyone quieted down and their eyes were filled with complications. Under this giant door, two new patterns appeared, a bow and an arrow! Yun Kong’s eyes were burning fervently. Without hesitation, he took a step forward, reached for the Fallen God Bow and Fallen God Arrow, and stamped them on the pattern!

  “No! You b*stard!!!” roared the Yun Chief angrily. He struggled desperately to break free from his chains but it was too late. A mysterious force seemed to have awoken and began to flow out from the stone wall.

  It was like an ancient and invincible beast was roaring, or like the River of Time had stopped. The endless power of time overflowed from the other side of the stone wall. The ancestral land was a forbidden place that had been sealed for countless years by one of the strongest people in the previous era. Its reappearance brought about with it the timeless aura of existence.

  Everyone held their breaths. The simple-looking door seemed to have linked two completely different worlds together.

  Yun Kong widened his eyes and laughed excitedly. “Hahaha, today, I, Yun Kong, have led the Yun Clan to witness the opening of the ancestral land!”


  However, a sudden exclamation interrupted all this.

  “Chief!” Yun Xiaolong had rushed over and swept his concerned gaze over everything. Behind him were the Heavenly Palace people who had come on the majestic auspicious clouds.

  “Xiaolong, why did you come back?” asked the Yun Chief with surprise.

  “Chief! I’ve brought reinforcements from the Ancient Forbidden Area!” replied Yun Xiaolong.

  “Reinforcements?” Yun Kong glanced at everyone indifferently. His expression did not change at all as he sneered at them internally. He was not worried because the people were of no threat to him since there was not even one Wisdom Dictator amongst them. ‘You call them reinforcements? Ha! Why, I could kill them with a snap of my fingers!’


  The Yun Chief was thinking along the same vein. He smiled wryly and said, “You shouldn’t have come back!”


  Nanan’s eyes lit up when she saw the Fallen God Bow and the Fallen God Arrow. She had found the stele’s Third Brother!

  “Oi, I advise you to hand over that longbow quickly!” she said to Yun Kong.

  Yun Kong scoffed dismissively and ignored her. Instead, he said, “Yun Shan, you stay and annihilate them. The rest of you will follow me into the ancestral land!”


  Without missing a beat, he turned around and set foot into the ancestral land with the others following behind. Soon, only a middle-aged man was left, and he was not looking too kindly at Nanan and the others. The aura he gave off was extremely oppressive. Even though he did not deliberately release it, it was enough to suffocate the others. That was the advantage of being of a higher level.

  “Let’s make this quick! I want to enter the ancestral land as soon as possible, so I don’t have the time to play with you all,” said Yun Shan with a cruel smile.

  “I should be the one saying that to you!” said Nanan, not backing down one bit.

  Yun Shan laughed and thought that she was the epitome of naivety. He decided not to waste his breath on her and launch a palm strike as his reply. The palm strike was not only targeted at Nanan, but the whole group of Heavenly Palace people. They had been expecting this to happen ever since they arrived.

  After all, Yun Shan was a Wisdom Dictator. Not even their numbers could make up for the power gap. Even a half-step Wisdom Dictator could be easily destroyed by a real Wisdom Dictator. That was why Yun Kong dispatched only one person to wipe them out.

  The Yun Chief sighed and shook his head at Yun Xiaolong’s naivety. Did he really think that his so-called reinforcements would be able to win against a real Wisdom Dictator? If yes, he would soon know just how terrifying a real Wisdom Dictator could be.

  As for that group of people…he found them really odd. Why would they, mere half-step Wisdom Dictators, dare to act so cockily in front of a real Wisdom Dictator? It was not like they would be able to turn the situation around with their power, and yet…


  Instead of shying away from Yun Shan’s palm strike, Nanan and Dragin took out their willow branches at the same time and rushed out to meet the palm strike head-on.

  “Sister Willow, lend me your power,” said Dragin softly.

  The two of them waved the willow branches gently. Immediately, a holy aura poured out. The aura seemed soft and gentle but its force was unassailable. It rained down from the sky and dominated everything under it. Everything, including Yun Shan’s palm strike, disappeared into thin air without any fanfare.

  “Huh?” Yun Shan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

  “They…they neutralized the attack?” The Yun Chief was similarly shocked. He never once believed that the reinforcements would be able to neutralize a Wisdom Dictator’s attack so effortlessly. ‘Could it be that we’ve fallen behind the times after being in isolation for so long?!
