A creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a lizard, complete with feet, appeared and blocked a strike from the Black Dragon King, momentarily ensuring the safety of Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng.

These two monsters, one a Demon Beast and the other an Ancient Alien Race, amazed both Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng. They had not expected that, in addition to the Supreme Demon that only a Great Emperor could suppress, there would also be such powerful Demon Beasts and Ancient Alien Race within the Sun Never Sets Mountain. Their formidable and world-dominating presence was so overwhelming that either of them, if unleashed upon the no longer cultivation-suitable Earth, could rule the entire world, a terrifying thought indeed.

”Lizard Demon, I advise you not to obstruct me; otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude,” roared the Black Dragon King.

”Rude? How could you possibly be rude? We have cultivated here in the Sun Never Sets Mountain for thousands of years. I have long wanted to slay you, and making a dragon hide coat would be just the thing,” the humanoid monster named Lizard Demon said disdainfully to the Black Dragon King.

”What’s so great about the Ancient Alien Race? Though our Demon Clan was born a step behind you in this world, we too possess Great Divine Power. We’re not inferior to the Ancient Alien Race,” the Black Dragon King claimed coldly.

”Ridiculous and pitiable. In the Ancient Times, both the Demon Clan and the Human Clan were mere food for our Ancient Alien Race. Born with divine favor, we naturally possess extraordinary Divine Skills without the need for cultivation. How could you compare yourself to us, let alone the insignificant Human Clan? They were mere food for us back then and will continue to be so today!” The Lizard Demon readied himself for battle with Divine Radiance shining from the rusted halberd in his right hand, exuding tremendous dominance.

”Hmph, what use is there in being the first to appear? You started to fade away millions of years ago. This Martial Arts Great World now belongs to the Demon Clan and the Human Clan; you Ancient Alien Race have no part in it anymore!” the Black Dragon King retorted, just as defiantly.

”Foolishness. When the day comes that the Ancient Alien Race reemerges, you will realize who truly reigns supreme over this world. Whether it’s eradicating the Demon Clan or the Human Clan, it will be as simple as flicking a finger!” boasted the Lizard Demon arrogantly.

The Black Dragon King glanced at Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng, his large, lantern-like black eyes shifting before looking back at the Lizard Demon and saying, ”I do not wish to argue with you endlessly. These humans are my discovery, my food. It’s rare for those unafraid of death to venture into the Sun Never Sets Mountain. Whoever dares compete with me for them will face my wrath.”

”Battle to the death? You think you’re worthy? I could cut you down with a single move...” the Lizard Demon said, his eyes full of scorn as he looked at the Black Dragon King.

”You’re too arrogant!” enraging the Black Dragon King, who let out a dragon’s roar that made the entire Sun Never Sets Mountain tremble.

”Since you refuse to be sensible, then don’t blame me. You’re just ants, yet you dare to flaunt your power before me. Seek your own death!”

The Lizard Demon’s arrogance knew no bounds as he spoke, as if he was still living in the Ancient Times, when the Ancient Alien Race ruled. At that time, although the newly emerged Demon Clan had some unique talents, they were definitely no match for the Ancient Alien Race, and even less so for the Human Clan, who struggled to survive between the cracks, sacrificed countless ancestors to invent cultivation methods, and eventually rose to power, securing their place in the world and no longer serving as food for the Ancient Alien Race.

Boom!

As a member of the Ancient Alien Race with their bloodline, the Lizard Demon, though by then it was not as pure, still possessed inherent arrogance. He made his move, pointing his rusted halberd at the Black Dragon King, sending out a beam of Divine Radiance aimed at the dragon’s head.

Furious, the Black Dragon King, who had managed to cultivate for thousands of years in the Cold Pond of Sun Never Sets Mountain and gradually become powerful, was not an ordinary character. Despite knowing the strength and dominance of the Ancient Alien Race, he did not anticipate such contempt. Out of anger, he spat out a Black Sword that emitted a black demonic aura, successfully intercepting the Divine Radiance from the Lizard Demon’s halberd.

Cling!

The earth shook as the Lizard Demon and the Black Dragon King, both fearsome beasts of the Sun Never Sets Mountain and having cultivated for thousands of years, were quite familiar with each other’s strengths. Despite rarely engaging in combat, they each knew how formidable the other was. After clashing head-on, the Black Dragon King’s spat-out Black Sword turned into a black light, heading straight for the Lizard Demon’s head.

”Childish tricks, hardly worth mentioning!”

With a scornful shout, the Lizard Demon summoned a complicated Rune in his left hand that was completely indecipherable, most likely a divine seal from the Ancient Alien Race era. He froze the Black Dragon King’s Black Sword in place, and looking up, saw the Black Dragon King’s massive tail smashing down with great force. The Lizard Demon frowned slightly, and with his halberd held sideways, he met the force of the dragon tail as sturdy as a mountain.

Thud!

A muffled sound echoed as vast True Qi dispersed, engulfing the entire Sun Never Sets Mountain. The sky and earth trembled together, and had it not been for the powerful Formation barriers in this Martial Arts Great World, Song Mountain might have been destroyed.

The Black Dragon King and the Lizard Demon engaged in a fierce battle, both monstrous creatures were incredibly intimidating. Both Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng were utterly shocked; they hadn’t expected that within Earth’s Ancient Martial World, such formidable beings existed. These beings included Demon Beasts and creatures of the Ancient Alien Race who were naturally blessed by the heavens with formidable Divine Skills. If they were to emerge into the world, who in the Mortal World could possibly stand in their way? It truly was a worrisome thought.

”Hold on to me, we can’t get into the depths of Sun Never Sets Mountain anymore, let’s get out of here first,” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, then said to Dongfang Meng.

Dongfang Meng nodded. Originally, Ye Tianchen wanted to venture into Sun Never Sets Mountain to try his luck in finding the second fragment of the Ancient Transmission Array. Now, with an inaccessible Formation at the mountain’s core, and the appearance of both the black dragon and the Lizard Demon of the Ancient Alien Race—both monsters with terrifyingly powerful combat abilities—staying here would only mean becoming prey to either of them. Why wait and not escape while they were entangled in a fight to the death?

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, Ye Tianchen, as a strong warrior, knew he had to be both brave and wise. Merely having an unyielding fighting spirit was insufficient. He immediately grabbed Dongfang Meng’s hand, turning into a streak of golden light aiming to return the way they had come.

Boom!

Boom!

Just as Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng had started to move, two immense pressures descended, blocking their path. Both the Black Dragon King and the Lizard Demon roared simultaneously, ”Wait until I’ve killed this insect, then I’ll come and eat you!”

Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng were startled by this. These two monsters were terrifyingly powerful, their might unmatched, and they were not so dull as to be unable to stop their escape even while fighting one another. The gap in strength was a tangible reality; with their current levels of cultivation, they had no chance of killing these two creatures to make their escape.

Watching the colossal figures of the Black Dragon King and the Lizard Demon battle in the sky, their massive bodies obscuring half the heavens with murderous aura, the Black Dragon King used Divine Thought to control the Black Treasure Sword to strike, while the Lizard Demon’s iron halberd in its right hand drew divine beams, one after another aiming straight for the Black Dragon King’s head, intent on utterly destroying it.

”Move back, rush over here, I’ll cover you, hurry...”

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen heard a woman’s voice, which was very familiar to him. He frowned, turned his head to look behind, and saw nothing but the flickering light screen of an array barrier, causing him to hesitate and not dare to make any rash moves.

”Idiot, what are you standing around for? Bring Dongfang Meng over, I’ll cover for you...”

At that moment, Ye Tianchen heard the familiar woman’s voice again. Still baffled, he reasoned that beyond the illuminated screen must be the central region of Sun Never Sets Mountain. What lay within was unknown, and the scenery unseen from the outside. It could be a trap set by a Demon, luring them into a gaping maw. That’d be like walking right into a trap!

”Hurry up, you won’t get another chance if you don’t come now, the Black Dragon King and the Lizard Demon are about to determine the victor!” the woman’s voice sounded somewhat anxious through her mental transmission.

Ye Tianchen hesitated for a moment, then decided to take a gamble. He abruptly grabbed Dongfang Meng’s hand and rushed straight towards the light screen formed by the Formation. As they almost reached it, the screen suddenly developed a gap, as if a corner of the Formation had opened up. Without any regard for what might lay ahead, Ye Tianchen activated all his Martial Arts True Power, turning into a golden light that shot through.

At that moment, the Black Dragon King and the Lizard Demon, engaged in a cataclysmic battle, noticed a minor flaw appear in the center’s Formation of Sun Never Sets Mountain. They were both overjoyed and almost simultaneously launched their attacks; the Black Dragon King with the Black Treasure Sword and the Lizard Demon with the iron halberd in his right hand, both turned into divine beams that flew towards Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng.

Boom!

The Black Treasure Sword and the iron halberd were hurled forth, missing Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng by mere inches. With those treasures, the Black Dragon King and the Lizard Demon might have been able to enter the center of Sun Never Sets Mountain as well.

”Damn it, there’s too much in the center of Sun Never Sets Mountain worth claiming. I didn’t expect the Formation to open on its own, allowing those two from the Human Clan to barge in!” the Lizard Demon roared trembling with rage.

”This Formation is extremely powerful; with our strength, we definitely can’t break through. How could it suddenly open? Has that Supreme Demon awakened again?” the Black Dragon King also spoke, his eyes the size of lanterns spinning ceaselessly.

Boom!

The Lizard Demon attacked once more, shooting a beam of purple light from its third eye aimed at the Black Dragon King’s head. At the same time, its stature grew exponentially, colossal enough to seem as if it were stepping on Sun Never Sets Mountain, and it roared furiously, ”You made me miss the chance to enter the center of Sun Never Sets Mountain. I’ll condemn you to eternal damnation!” (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.
