“Moo…”

A wave of brute force erupted, shattering the heavens. The sun, moon, and stars all trembled, threatening to fall from the sky.

The Bull Demon King made his move, transforming into a colossal black ox. Standing outside the forbidden zone, his four mighty hooves were like pillars supporting the sky. He stood so tall that his shoulders vanished into the clouds, presenting an imposing and majestic sight.

It was a terrifying spectacle: this giant ox, with black fur cascading like a waterfall, possessed a massive physique grander and more formidable than any mountain. Clouds drifted beneath him, and his back and head emerged above the mist, an awe-inspiring and unpredictable presence.

Black clouds churned, surging upwards as the Bull Demon King roared. From the mist, a pair of terrifying eyes gleamed with cold, ruthless light, and his enormous black horns seemed to pierce the firmament. He lowered his head, his black horns—each as vast as a mountain range—thrusting towards the God-Devil Burial Ground, where thousands of peaks quaked, emitting a deafening rumble.

Boom!

The Bull Demon King was ferocious, launching a powerful assault, clearly intending to breach this forbidden zone. Standing on the periphery, he used his horns to lift an entire mountain range.

It was a shocking and terrifying sight: a Great Saint, in his true form, roaring to shatter the sky, enveloped in surging black mist, using his colossal horns to overturn one mountain after another.

The divine sounds of the Grand Dao rumbled, and ancient symbols flickered into existence on every mountain, suppressing the Bull Demon King. Waves of divine power surged, and blood pulsed within the mountains!

As if countering a Saint Spirit, these mountains manifested profound Grand Dao insights, displaying one rune after another, possessing power that could overwhelm myriad worlds. This caused the old ox's body to tremble violently, forcing him to stumble backward, blood constantly flowing from his mouth.

Everyone was aghast. The Bull Demon King hadn't even truly entered the forbidden zone; merely attacking its periphery with his peerless divine power had resulted in such a backlash. If he were to venture deeper, his life would most likely be in peril.

This was the legacy and profound wisdom of the ancient gods and devils, unbreakable. Two Great Saints had previously attempted to breach it, but both returned without success, sustaining injuries to their bodies.

First, a Saint Spirit, then the Bull Demon King—both paramount among Great Saints—had suffered hidden losses, unable to breach this place or penetrate its depths. It was no wonder that for so many years, only gods could enter. This ancient land, where primordial gods and devils were buried, was fraught with peril; any manifestation of their legacies was sufficient to obliterate even Great Saint-level cultivators.

“What are you all standing around for?” Qi Tian, the human protector, stepped forward and shouted to the Great Saints. “Let’s attack together and break through this place! We must bring out the Nine-Layered Ancient Coffin from the mythical era to suppress the Divine Realm, or we will be in grave danger, surely defeated one by one and lose our lives.”

From a distance, Ye Fan's gaze was cold. That old man had also arrived. He had targeted Ye Fan multiple times before; it would be best if they didn't meet, otherwise the old fellow might resort to lethal tactics.

“That old bastard is utterly despicable,” the Dragon Horse said viciously. “He's always favored the Overlord and has tried to kill us several times. We must be wary of him, and it would be best if we could find an opportunity to eliminate him first.”

A stir went through the Great Saints, but they quickly calmed down. There was no hesitation; they had come specifically to join forces and break open the God-Devil Burial Ground, or they wouldn't have shown themselves.

“Boom!”

With so many supreme figures attacking a single point, even the legacy of the ancient gods and devils experienced a massive tremor. The symbols at the forefront began to dim.

At the same time, blood surged from the cracked mountains, and massive bones extended, as if alive, slowly retracting.

“The mountains are crawling! Could the ancient legends be true? Is there really something like this—first transforming into an Earth Dragon, then a Sky Dragon, finally becoming an Immortal Spirit?!” Everyone gasped. This place, where primordial gods and devils were buried, collectively formed a terrifying forbidden zone. Tens of thousands of legacies resided here, with each mountain manifesting an ancient symbol representing a Grand Dao. Melted together over eons, it was not impossible for them to transform into Earth Dragons and become new life forms.

A flying sword soared high into the sky; the moment it appeared, mountains and rivers lost their luster, and the sun and moon dimmed. As it descended, it cleaved through numerous peaks below!

A grand bell chimed softly, rising from behind a Great Saint's head, spreading boundless Dao waves that crashed into the God-Devil mountains. Its earth-shattering might felt as though the very firmament was descending.

Purple stardust scattered, filling the sky and continuously expanding. Eventually, each grain became as vast as a star, radiating terrifying power that threatened to obliterate the vast land below.

All the Great Saints attacked in unison, displaying unparalleled might and awe-inspiring divine power, striking a single point. The God-Devil Burial Ground seemed to sink, many peaks cracked, threatening to obliterate the entire area.

However, the most terrifying aspect was not the mountains themselves, but the Grand Dao they contained. Though the ancient symbols had dimmed, they were reinvigorated by the blood flowing within the mountain's core, shining brightly once more to contend with all other Daos, even threatening to suppress the Great Saints themselves!

“Three thousand Daos, melded into one furnace! All Saints unify, delivering a chaotic strike!”

A Great Saint shouted, instructing everyone to unleash their foundational power, fusing it together into ancient chaotic laws to dismantle the mountain. Undoubtedly, the combined strength of so many Great Saints was terrifying. Boundless Dao principles surged, and various chains of divine order crisscrossed and intertwined, forming a churning sea of chaos, inscribed with symbols—the most formidable laws of order.

Accompanied by a roaring sound, their combined laws swept forward, piercing into the mountain range. A section of the mountains shattered, yet it did not turn to dust.

These mountains, as if alive, transformed into coiled dragons, crawling and winding alongside a sea of blood, actually creating a path for them.

“They actually got in!” Ye Fan’s eyes flashed with cold light as he closely watched the front. The combined might of the Great Saints was indeed comparable to the ancient gods, capable of entering and leaving this forbidden zone. Even the legacies and profound wisdom of the ancient gods and devils struggled to truly impede their advance. This was a group of overwhelmingly powerful individuals, unmatched across all ancient domains.

Suddenly, immense pressure emanated from the distance. A divine diagram appeared, wielding the might of heaven and earth, pressing down with a booming sound. It was awe-inspiring, aiming to annihilate all Great Saints. This was the killing formation diagram left behind by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, activated by several ancient gods and brought here. Its power was monstrous!

“As expected, they’ve arrived! Retreat!”

The Bull Demon King, the Saint Spirit, the Golden Toad, Qi Tian, and others transformed into ephemeral shadows, vanishing from their positions. They did not press further into the forbidden zone, choosing instead to traverse the void and escape.

At the same time, the Divine Realm suffered a terrifying assault. The Great Saints had split into two groups: one attacked the forbidden zone, aiming to retrieve the Nine-Layered Coffin from the mythical era, while the other remained outside the Divine Realm, ready to launch a fierce attack the moment the diagram moved away.

The Divine Realm sought to thwart the actions of the Great Saints from beyond its borders and eradicate them. However, the Saints were also monitoring the Divine Realm's movements, dividing their forces to catch them off guard, ensuring they couldn't respond effectively. If the Divine Realm chose to deploy the diagram, they would have to be prepared for their stronghold to be raided.

Amidst blinding brilliance, the Divine Realm's grand formation was crippled, and numerous sacred mountains collapsed. Casualties were heavy as the Great Saints charged inward, heading directly for the Ancient Tree of Life.

Blood splattered as peerless palace lords fell. Even with terrifying magic formations within the Divine Realm, it was difficult to fully resist. What kind of beings were the Great Saints? Their combined assault made even the heavens tremble. They advanced steadily, continuously overcoming key strongholds.

The Great Saints from beyond the realm had previously been disorganized, but now they were united. Apart from the killing formation diagram, no one could truly shake or slay them; their divine bravery was unstoppable.

On this day, the Divine Realm suffered heavy losses, nearly being completely overrun. The sacred mountain where the Ancient Tree of Life resided was cracked, and some Great Saints had almost reached it. At the last moment, several ancient gods returned with the diagram, startling the Great Saints into retreat. The Divine Realm was defended, and the Ancient Tree of Life remained unharmed.

From that day forward, the Divine Realm could no longer maintain its aloofness. They were apprehensive, for the combined might of the Great Saints was enough to unnerve anyone. If they pursued, their rear would surely be ambushed; if they did not, the Great Saints would undoubtedly bring forth that ancient coffin. The atmosphere across the Other Shore was extremely tense, fraught with the scent of impending war. The situation worsened day by day, and the Divine Realm was truly on the verge of great turmoil.

“Boom!”

The Great Saints once again joined forces, launching their second assault into the forbidden zone. Ancient symbols soared into the sky, creating a hazy expanse where numerous Earth Dragons writhed and the profound insights of the Grand Dao surged.

This made the people of the Divine Realm feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles, or perched on a burning pyre. They were helpless and anxious, wanting to intervene but fearing a devastating ambush from the rear, rendering them unable to protect themselves.

“We have no other choice,” several ancient gods roared. “First, we must unleash the power of faith from the Immortal Divine Mountain, at all costs, to protect the Divine Realm. Second, we must deploy the diagram and ensure their annihilation, preventing them from acquiring the ancient coffin. Otherwise, our Divine Realm will be in grave danger.” They had no choice now, for if they stood by and watched the Great Saints retrieve that ancient coffin, the Divine Realm would surely be destroyed.

From that day onward, the short mountain—an ancient sacred mountain whose status was akin to Mount Sumeru, though its power was far inferior—began to release an aura of immortality. Its power of faith transformed into an ocean, engulfing the Divine Realm and protecting the ancient land. Following this, the divine diagram flew out, sweeping across the world, targeting all suspicious individuals. It aimed to stop the Great Saints from attacking the forbidden zone and to slay them all.

Both sides entered a protracted struggle. The Great Saints could no longer launch large-scale assaults to enter the forbidden zone; instead, they had to disperse and approach secretly from different directions. However, this was too dangerous. They could be discovered at any moment by the ancient gods activating the killing formation diagram, or they might be obliterated by the legacies of the primordial gods and devils within the forbidden zone. This caused anxiety among the Great Saints, as the current situation was highly disadvantageous for them.

Most terrifying of all, several ancient gods were piloting the diagram, approaching the ancient coffin. They intended to use the divine diagram to seal the massive stone coffin or seize it first. Naturally, this came at a heavy price: they had to completely exhaust their life's accumulated power of faith, reducing eons of cultivation to nothing, their Dao Fruit of faith turning to naught. Otherwise, upon mere proximity, they would inevitably turn to ashes, with no chance of survival.

This was a grim and terrifying truth, causing anxiety among all Great Saints, who furrowed their brows. If things continued this way, their situation would be dire, and they might be systematically annihilated by the Divine Realm!

The only consolation was that even with the divine diagram, the ancient gods found it difficult and highly risky to freely enter and exit the forbidden zone. This was because the ten thousand peaks quaked, and the ancient symbols of the primordial gods and devils' legacy shone, fiercely resisting them. Furthermore, the massive stone coffin, which contained a Great Emperor, inherently repelled other ultimate-tier weapons or Great Emperor-level powers, emitting terrifying Dao patterns upon their approach.

The two sides were in a stalemate. Even with the Celestial Venerable Lingbao's killing formation diagram, the ancient gods could not immediately force their way closer, let alone suppress or remove the stone coffin.

“Oh, the God-Devil Liquid has appeared again! It's repeatedly flowing and solidifying, about to condense into a miraculous, heaven-defying substance comparable to an immortal medicine!” an elder from the Divine Realm exclaimed, utterly shocked. Ten thousand peaks swayed, and the mountains cracked. Crystalline liquid flowed down, gathering at the mountain base, then streaming towards the deepest part of the forbidden zone.

“This is an immortal liquid, containing fragments of the primordial gods and devils' Grand Dao, and even the active essence within their flesh and blood. Now it’s converging towards the deepest part of the forbidden zone—could someone inside be refining this liquid?!” Those in the Divine Realm who understood this secret were stunned. Historically, this had been an exclusive elixir for gods, appearing only once every ten thousand years. The ancient gods of this era dared not enter, believing no one could obtain the precious liquid, which was thought to be accumulating inside. Now, it seemed, that was not the case at all.

The Great Saints also noticed the anomaly, and their expressions grew excited. The immense fortune here surpassed even that of the Divine Realm. If they could gain entry... the mere thought made them tremble.
