”Du Wanli is the Saint Heir of the Five Poison Sect and also the biological son of Du Tianqi, the Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect!” Tianshuang spoke.

”Rumor has it that Du Tianqi had four sons in total, all of whom he poisoned to death himself. Only Du Wanli survived. Among the four sons, he was the most talented. At just over forty years of age, he has already reached the Late Martial Venerate stage. In the entire Ancient Martial World of Earth, he is a prodigy among the younger generation, a supreme expert seldom matched by any rival!” Dongfang Meng said in surprise. Clearly, she hadn’t expected the person who dared to charge directly to the outskirts of Sun Never Sets Mountain to be the Saint Heir of the Five Poison Sect, Du Wanli.

”How does he compare to Qing Chengyue?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”I don’t know. Qing Chengyue is just the strongest among the four great beauties of our Ancient Martial Sect. I’m afraid she still falls short of Du Wanli!” Tianshuang replied.

Ye Tianchen stood in the distance, surveying Du Wanli with his eyes, inevitably feeling surprised. Du Wanli appeared just like a youth, and although he was already in his forties, he had reached the Late Martial Venerate cultivation realm. In terms of cultivation achievements, he was slightly higher than Ye Tianchen. On Earth, which was long unsuitable for cultivation, having such a cultivation level at his age truly made him a standout, possessing extremely high talent.

At this moment, Du Wanli’s right hand was constantly gripping the handle of the banner behind him, ready for battle. It seemed he was still somewhat afraid, fearful of the beings within Sun Never Sets Mountain taking action. What a joke, those were beings rumored to be able to contend with Great Emperors. Even Emperor Ao Kong, who was in the process of meditating until passing away, with his combat power far inferior to before, still had an inviolable authority and destructive battle power. To withstand an attack from Emperor Ao Kong and ultimately force him to seal the being with his Emperor’s Artifact, it must be said that if the being inside Sun Never Sets Mountain was still alive, no one would dare enter without the emergence of a new Great Emperor, nor would anyone have the power to completely annihilate it.

”If this person is Du Wanli, then the black banner on his back should be the treasure of the Five Poison Sect—the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner!” Dongfang Meng said somewhat surprised.

”What is the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner?” Ye Tianchen inquired.

”The Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner is a treasure refined by the Poison Saint, the Ancestor of the Five Poison Sect. It is said that even at the moment of his life’s end during meditation, the Poison Saint only possessed the power at the Peak of the Late Stage Martial Saint, never able to touch the realm of the Emperor. However, he specialized in using poison, with all the poisonous creatures in the world at his disposal. In particular, the poisonous artifacts he refined and the poison arrays he set up were so formidable that even Great Emperors treated them with caution. The Poison Saint was an anomaly, a rare individual who was not an Emperor, yet was taken seriously by Great Emperors,” Tianshuang explained.

”Tianchen, the Five Poison Sect has sent out the Five Poison Seven Sons to hunt you down, but that’s probably just the beginning. If the grievances with the Five Poison Sect aren’t well resolved, it’s very possible you’ll have an inevitable battle with Du Wanli, so be extremely careful!” Dongfang Meng cautioned.

”Du Wanli is Du Tianqi’s only surviving son. To bolster his offspring’s strength, to enable his son to become the Saint Heir of the Five Poison Sect, Du Tianqi did not hesitate to place his four sons in an environment teeming with deadly poisons from birth, allowing them to survive or perish on their own. Only Du Wanli was thrown into such a place, and seven days and nights later, when people from the Five Poison Sect came to check, they were all stunned. Every poisonous creature that approached Du Wanli not only failed to harm him but was also killed by the poison itself. He’s a monster full of venom—too terrifying!” Tianshuang said with a chill.

”If we don’t have to face each other, so be it. But if a battle is truly unavoidable, I won’t show any mercy!” Ye Tianchen said indifferently.

Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang, two great beauties of the Ancient Martial Sect, knew quite a bit about Ye Tianchen’s character. He wouldn’t go easy on anyone who was extremely vicious, arrogant, and relentless in trying to kill him. There was nothing more to say about that. In this world of the survival of the fittest, not to mention that Earth’s secular world and the Ancient Martial World were like this, the Martial Arts Great World was likely to be even more cruel and bloody by tenfold. Without any psychological preparation, one simply wouldn’t stand.

By now, almost an hour had passed since Du Wanli spoke, and there was still no response from within Sun Never Sets Mountain. Du Wanli furrowed his brows deeply, still clutching the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, not daring to let his guard down or to rashly intrude. After all, the legend was too terrifying. If it were true, even ten thousand Du Wanlis rushing into Sun Never Sets Mountain would be slapped to death with a single blow.

”Elder, I am Du Wanli, here by the command of Sect Leader Du Tianqi...”

”Get lost!”

All of a sudden, before Du Wanli could finish speaking, a roar erupted from within Sun Never Sets Mountain, immediately releasing an immense and overwhelming pressure that sent Du Wanli flying nearly ten thousand meters. If Du Wanli hadn’t exerted all his strength to unfurl the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, he would’ve likely been obliterated. Even so, he was coughing blood profusely, severely injured with not a single spot on his body unharmed, his complexion pale with terror. He kneeled on one knee on the ground, no longer displaying the arrogant demeanor he had upon arrival.

Splutter!

A mouthful of essence blood sprayed out, and Du Wanli directed it onto the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner. The black banner with a white skull suddenly seemed to come alive after receiving his essence blood. It protected him, shielding him from the immense pressure.

”Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner? Poison Saint is indeed a figure to reckon with, but it’s a pity that his talent is too low... It’s not just this broken banner, even if Poison Saint came here in person, I could have made him perish!”

A chill voice emanated from within the Sun Never Sets Mountain, followed immediately by a powerful oppressive force bearing down. Even as Du Wanli exerted all his efforts to withstand with the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, the skull emblem instantly shattered, and he himself knelt on the ground, blood spraying from his mouth and nose, gasping for breath. He looked towards the depths of Sun Never Sets Mountain with terror in his eyes and pleaded for mercy, ”Spare my life, I shall never, never come here again!”

”Hmph, oblivious of the immensity of heaven and earth, do you really think you’re worthy of the Immortal Scripture? You think you’re qualified?” the existence deep within Sun Never Sets Mountain said with disdain.

Du Wanli’s face turned pale, and hearing these words, he nearly died of anger. Had anyone else dared to speak half a word like that, he would have annihilated their entire Sect. As the Saint Heir of the Five Poison Sect and a prominent figure in the Ancient Martial World, who would ever dare to humiliate him this way? Yet the presence deep within Sun Never Sets Mountain only needed a roar to bring him to his knees, begging for mercy, and facing imminent destruction of both his body and spirit, leaving him no choice but to lower his head, swallow his pride, and focus on saving his life.

”Senior, please spare my life, I meant no offense, I...” Du Wanli’s legs crumbled to dust. The pressure was simply too much for him to contend with, and at this moment, his previously proud and arrogant demeanor vanished, replaced by a dog-like kneeling and begging for mercy, hoping to scrounge up his worthless life. Such a stark contrast to his earlier invincible aura, he was now like a different person altogether.

”Spare my life, oh spare my life...” Du Wanli screamed in utter horror.

”Get lost. Out of respect for a brief encounter I once had with Poison Saint, I’ll spare your wretched life. Should you dare come here again, both body and spirit will be utterly destroyed, never to transcend to the afterlife!”

The entity within Sun Never Sets Mountain, as if casually discarding a fart, let Du Wanli go. Feeling the pressure on him lighten, Du Wanli hastily tended to his injuries and rapidly retreated. His eyes were filled with terror. In his wildest dreams, he had never imagined that the presence within Sun Never Sets Mountain was still alive. After five million years, it was probably on the verge of destroying both body and spirit, yet it remained so formidable. To think, without even moving a finger, its mere bellow was sufficient to almost annihilate a favored child of heaven like him—how terrifying was that?

One would think that given the rumors were true, the being inside Sun Never Sets Mountain had been suppressed by Emperor Ao Kong’s ”Mixed Element Bell”. With the Emperor’s Artifact’s suppression and five million years having passed, yet still this much prestige, who exactly was this existence? Were they even human?

Sparing no time to linger or ponder, Du Wanli packed away the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner and rapidly flew away. As he left, he happened to pass by Ye Tianchen, Dongfang Meng, and Tianshuang, furrowing his brow and departing without saying a word.

”Let’s go, we must be extremely careful!” Tianshuang communicated telepathically with Divine Sense.

”It’s terrifying, the demon inside Sun Never Sets Mountain is still alive. Had it not been for the suppression and seal of the Mixed Element Bell, we might have all died here today,” Dongfang Meng couldn’t help but also communicate telepathically with Divine Sense.

”I don’t think so, perhaps...”

Ye Tianchen was about to share his thoughts telepathically with Tianshuang and Dongfang Meng when he suddenly heard another voice. It was the same cold voice they had just heard coming from the depths of Sun Never Sets Mountain. All three of them heard it at once, and they were immediately gripped by an eerie feeling.

”Today is quite lively. More than five million years have passed, and no one has dared to come here. It seems we truly do have some juniors unafraid of death!”

As soon as the voice faded, Ye Tianchen, Dongfang Meng, and Tianshuang felt an inescapable force seize them, snatching them up and flying them directly toward the depths of Sun Never Sets Mountain. The three of them were horrified. They had only heard the rumors before, but now encountering the entity within Sun Never Sets Mountain, a mere light shout was enough to almost shatter the Late Stage Peak Martial Venerates who possessed Holy Artifacts. Even Ye Tianchen felt a chill down his spine. The power was too overwhelming, a force unlike any they could possibly resist.

Snap! Dongfang Meng made her move, activating her Life-bound Essence Blood and striking out with her palm to obstruct this binding force.

Whoosh! Tianshuang also slashed out with a sword, attempting to sever this confining force.

Alas, the two beauties from the Ancient Martial Sect, no matter what Absolute Skills they used or how desperately they fought, could do nothing to alter their trajectory towards the depths of Sun Never Sets Mountain...
