Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

King Zhenan's mansion also housed the young Prince Yuan Qian, who had mastered King Zhenan's famous ultimate technique, the Sky Splitting Handprint, to perfection, and his strength was not much inferior to the former two.

Furthermore, the strongest among the Mighty Demon Ape Clan, the King of Strength, as well as Ye Meng from the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan, in addition to the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's first, second, and even the ninth prince, emerged as the top tier of the monstrous talents entering the Ancestral Land, each proving themselves with their actions.

However, what puzzled many was that amidst these chosen elites, Huo Ming from the Fire Crow Clan, and Lei Tian from the Heavenly Thunder Sect, these two had never been seen, nor had anyone laid eyes on them.

Huo Ming from the Fire Crow Clan possessed formidable strength and was equally extraordinary, admired by many because, after all, it was common knowledge that today's Fire Crow Clan, unlike in the past, mostly carried the bloodline of the Golden Raven Clan, sparse though it was, but still sufficient to distinguish them.

After all, it belonged to the top ten among the myriad races of the Upper Realms, whose strength was so formidable it could make the entire Upper Realms tremble with fear.

As for the latter, Lei Tian of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, though not possessing the astonishing background of the Fire Crow Clan, was even more highly anticipated.

That was because his talent in The Way of Thunder was renowned throughout the hundred dominions, widely known!

Therefore, people were even more eager for this journey to the Ancestral Land, hopeful that Lei Tian would reveal his own strength.

Not to mention, many were aware that several among these monstrous talents secretly mastered divine powers, which only heightened the anticipation for their confrontations.

"Does anyone know the whereabouts of Huo Ming and Lei Tian? Why have these top monsters all appeared, yet these two remain unseen?" asked someone.

Finally, on the ninth day, driven by curiosity, someone couldn't help raising this question.

This topic immediately garnered many echoes.

"Yes, why haven't Huo Ming and Lei Tian appeared? Could it be they are trapped somewhere dangerous, or could it be… that they have already fallen?!"

This statement instantly caused a major shock in the Ancestral Land!

"Stop spouting nonsense. Unless someone like Lu Xin or other monsters of the same caliber takes action, who could kill Huo Ming and Lei Tian?" someone retorted, clearly a supporter of the two.

After all, the fame spread so wide across the hundred realms, it was only natural for them to have some followers and supporters.

"Exactly, with the strength of Huo Ming and Lei Tian, especially the latter who is suspected to have mastered divine powers, how could anyone kill them? Even in dangerous lands, it's simply not possible!"

The crowd shook their heads, disbelieving the news of their demise.

However, when another three days passed and it was nearly time for some treasures to be revealed within the Ancestral Land, and neither Huo Ming nor Lei Tian had appeared, many started feeling uneasy.

"Could it be… that they have really fallen?" someone said with a trembling voice.

With their prolonged absence, many grew silent, even some of their supporters were no exception.

But many still did not believe it, not just because of their strength but given the background behind them. Unless there was a deadly feud, anyone, even if defeating them, would hold back.

If not, the Fire Crow Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Sect would definitely not let it go so easily.

Even factions like the Seven Stars Sect and Dragon Sparrow Clan wouldn't want to break ties with the Fire Crow Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Sect over such issues.

If Lu Xin and Mo Chen did strike against Huo Ming and Lei Tian, they surely wouldn't go as far as killing them.

Now, not just others, even Lu Xin, Mo Chen, and their peers felt a sense of confusion.

"Huo Ming, Lei Tian, could it be that you both really have perished? But here, who possesses such power, or rather, which two people took it upon themselves to kill you both?"

At this moment, in a certain part of the ancestral land, Lu Xing of the Seven Stars Sect had a solemn expression, furrowing his brows in deep thought, pondering the whereabouts of the two men.

Though this place is dangerous, the outer areas truly lacked the capacity to trap and kill both of them.

Thus, if it were true that Huo Ming and Lei Tian had indeed perished, the likelihood was high, eight out of ten, that it was man-made!

"Who could it possibly be? Mo Chen, someone from the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, or perhaps the Mighty Demon Ape Clan, the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan?" Lu Xin's face darkened slightly, unable to fathom the answer, suspecting others.

It wasn't just Lu Xin; Mo Chen of the Dragon Sparrow Clan also had a somber expression, suspecting Lu Xin and others.

There were also the Mighty King of the Mighty Demon Ape Clan and Ye Meng of the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan, among a few others, looking likewise troubled.

"Hehe, it seems someone took covert action, aiming to remove some obstacles first," Ye Meng sneered sinisterly, his ugly face as frightful as a demon.

Recently, the Second Prince of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty had gathered his followers and, upon hearing of the deaths of Huo Ming and Lei Tian, his brow furrowed slightly.

These two were individuals he wished to win over, especially the latter, Lei Tian, who was exceedingly talented. The Second Prince held him in high esteem and had even considered persuading Princess Xidie to marry Lei Tian if he was interested.

At the same time, his gaze flickered, thinking of Princess Xidie, which reminded him of Gu Chen. He snorted silently, "Hmph, Gu Bai, rejecting me will be the biggest mistake of your life, without my help, even if you enter the ancestral land, you will find it difficult to move forward!"

Subsequently, his thoughts shifted, his brows furrowed tightly, he thought secretly, "Who exactly spoiled my plans by killing Huo Ming and Lei Tian?"

"Have the two of them really died?" In a certain part of the ancestral land, the Ninth Prince, like a lofty man of chaos, looked up to the sky, contemplating something.

As things stood, with the opening of certain areas, the continued absence of Huo Ming and Lei Tian had made everyone realize that most likely, something had indeed happened to the two of them.

But everyone was puzzled: who actually made the move to kill these two?

Within the ancestral lands of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, a massive storm was consequently stirred because of this.

Moreover, many were aware that once they stepped out, when the Fire Crow Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Sect learned of this news, the storm that would be triggered would be even greater and more intense, affecting countless lives!

"Who on earth did this, so bold and fearless, truly unafraid of turning the realm upside down, sparing no effort?" Everyone was shocked, foreseeing an impending turmoil.

And at this moment, in a valley within the interior of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's ancestral land.

In what was originally a quiet valley, a sudden loud boom echoed as a burly figure was enveloped by radiant light—it was Yuan Qian, the young prince from King Zhenan's estate!

This place appeared to be a valley, but it was actually a peculiar site, discovered by chance when King Zhenan first entered the ancestral land.

This location, unknown to anyone in the Holy Brilliance Dynasty except King Zhenan, who had informed Yuan Qian before his entry, was filled with divine charm, a rare treasure spot. Together with the extraordinary treasures prepared for Yuan Qian, it provided a great opportunity for him to grasp divine powers, just like Lu Xin and a few exceptionally gifted individuals!

At this moment, Yuan Qian indeed made his breakthrough!

Full of spirit and soaring aura, the first person Yuan Qian thought of was Gu Chen.

"Gu Bai, you wait for me. The divine power I've comprehended will first be tested on you, using your blood to spread my fame throughout the upper realms!" Yuan Qian's expression was sinister, his teeth clenched with extreme resentment towards Gu Chen.
