But with this, the darkness domain collapsed on its own without being attacked too.
Once the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was unleashed with full power, even if the tomb guardian's strength was exceedingly formidable, he would not dare to easily oppose either.
Of course, that way, Ye Yuan would become a dead dog again.
Ye Yuan only displayed his strength for a bit just now, scaring the other party into retreating, and did not truly unleash the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil's power.
The tomb guardian looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing a look of terror.
He thought that he already saw through Ye Yuan and even saw through the divine artifact. What kind of trump card could Ye Yuan still have?
But Ye Yuan actually really still had a trump card!
In the Divine Dao Era, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was a widely known existence too. How could the tomb guardian not know its prowess?
Ye Yuan smiled but did not speak. However, the tomb guardian let out a sigh and said, "Forget it! You, boy, your good luck is seriously too shocking! Since White Light boy insists, you come in together then."
Finally, the tomb guardian still relented.
The moment White Light heard, he exchanged a glance with Ye Yuan, and could not help showing a knowing smile.
The two people gradually walked over towards the depths with the tomb guardian. But the undulations flowing out from within the memorial tablets became stronger and stronger!
All of a sudden, the two people instantly felt the pressure on them soar, and could not help being alarmed inwardly.
This foot striding over, it was as if they entered another world.
"Starting from here, it's the rear hall of the land of ancestral spirits! The memorial tablets housed here are all Deity Realm powerhouses! Even the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan's patriarchs are absolutely not permitted to take a single step in here too. Otherwise, kill without mercy!" said the tomb guardian nonchalantly as if talking about a trivial and ordinary matter.
But White Light curled his mouth and said, "In my view, your strength is also merely on par with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan's patriarch's, right? Based on what to kill him?"
"Based on what? Based on this!"
A sword suddenly appeared in the tomb guardian's hand. The moment this sword lit up, beams of light actually appeared on these memorial tablets and closed in on the sword body.
White Light and Ye Yuan's pupils constricted, staring at the sword in the tomb guardian's hand in disbelief.
The undulations coming off of the sword body absolutely surpassed Divine King Realm!
This sword slashing out was absolutely able to annihilate any Divine King Realm expert!
The tomb guardian's hand that was holding the sword shook, and those white light actually returned into the memorial tablets once more, making the two people click their tongues in wonder.
The two people followed the tomb guardian and came to a spacious hall.
"En? The two of you wait here, I'll go and take care of some business! Make sure not to simply run around, or else, bear the consequences yourself!" As he said these words, the tomb guardian turned into a side hall and disappeared.
Chapter 990 - Tomb Guardian Lineage
The Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan's ancestral temple's sacrificial altar was specifically used to offer sacrifices to the ancestors.
Of course, there was still another function here. It was used to communicate with the tomb guardians of the land of ancestral spirits.
Currently, Head Elder already took a bath and put in clean clothes, and arranged an incense burner table and sacrificial items for use nicely.
Several divine king powerhouses all stood respectfully by the side, with a look of solemnness and respect.
Done with the preparation works, Head Elder Pan Yin respectfully took out three sticks of incense, lit them seriously in earnest, and after three bows, inserted them into the incense burner table.
"There were two outsiders who intruded into the land of ancestral spirits today and interrupted the ancestral spirits' peaceful rest. Unfilial child, Pan Yin, is gripped with fear and requests the spirits of the ancestors to make an exception, and let this one enter the land of ancestral spirits to capture the outsiders!"
Head Elder enunciated each word, saying it extremely devotedly.
After his voice faded, the array formation on the sacrificial altar suddenly lit up brightly. Coils of incense smoke above the incense burner were seemingly devoured by something, vanishing from sight.
Pan Yin's face revealed a look of anticipation. This sort of thing, presumably the tomb guardian should not disagree, right?
After 15 minutes, above the sacrificial alter finally had a reaction. Head Elder had a look of anticipation, staring fixedly at the incense ashes burned out by the three joss sticks.
Incense ash drifted, gradually condensing to form a word shape.
All of the divine kings stared at that place without blinking. But very soon, the expressions on their faces became very ugly.
While Head Elder's expression was even grim until it was almost dripping water.
It was clearly not Head Elder's first time communicating with the tomb guardian already. But the words that appeared this time made him perplexed, and also aggrieved.
The incense ashes condensed to form a large word: Scram!
"Why is it like this? In the past, when communicating with the tomb guardian, it's either allow or not allowed. This 'scram' word, what does it mean?" A divine king said in puzzlement.
"Is there still a need to say? Of course, it's 'not allow'! But the problem is, why would the tomb guardian want to use this word?" Another divine king said.
This word was seriously too impolite.
"Most likely, the tomb guardian is truly enraged. Otherwise, he wouldn't use this word to reply! Could it be, us not guarding the land of ancestral spirits well, made them infuriated?"
Head Elder's expression was incomparably ugly. He lived to a ripe old age and had yet to encounter this sort of situation before.
"Remove the incense burner table then. Looks like we can only lie in wait! There's a possibility that the tomb guardian has already personally taken action!" Head Elder finally still let out a long sigh and said.
His strength was extremely formidable. But facing the tomb guardian's wrath, he still harbored fear.
Inside the land of ancestral spirits, the tomb guardian was the most powerful existence! Even if he was a first-rate divine king, he could not go against the other party's wishes too.
...
At the same time, inside the White Tiger territory, Rong Kun also received the news that was sent over here.
"What did you say? They entered the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan's land of ancestral spirits? That place is highly dangerous!" Hearing this news, Rong Kun turned pale with fright too.
"Yes, Head Elder! From the news that was sent over, Ling Ninehills was indeed captured by Ye Yuan already. But in the end, it still startled the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan's Head Elder, Pan Yin! Finally, Ye Yuan was still intercepted. But in the end, Ye Yuan still escaped into the land of ancestral spirits!" A divine king powerhouse said.
Rong Kun finally still let out a sigh and said, "To be able to escape from Pan Yin's hands is already a miracle! The land of ancestral spirits was indeed their only way out. But their chances of survival aren't high! Probably at this moment, Pan Yin has already thoroughly sealed off the land of ancestral spirits. Even if they can come out from within the land of ancestral spirits, they would be hard-pressed to escape even if they grew wings too!"
The divine king below was also very alarmed. When he heard this news, he was stunned for a long time as well.
Forget about Ye Yuan, it was impossible for him to escape from Pan Yin's hands too.
But, Ye Yuan did it! He escaped from under Pan Yin's nose and barged into the land of ancestral spirits!
One had to admit that this could be rated as a miracle already.
Rong Kun mused for a moment and instructed him, "Gather the clan's powerhouses and hasten to the borders! Apply pressure on the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan! At this time, what we can do is also just this. Hope that White Light is blessed and has a tenacious life, and is able to come out from inside the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan's land of ancestral spirits."
That divine king's expression became austere as he responded, "Yes!"
...
Yue Mengli had just come out from closed-seclusion when Bai Po came knocking.
Seeing Bai Po's expression, Yue Mengli knew that Ye Yuan there probably encountered some accident.
"Elder Bai, how is … Big Brother Yuan?" Yue Mengli opened her mouth to ask first.
Bai Po hesitated for a moment, but still recounted the information he got from Head Elder there.
Just earlier, Head Elder Rong Kun specially summoned him over, making him come over to tell Yue Mengli this news. It was also considered taking the matter seriously.
But Yue Mengli smiled after hearing it and said, "I see. Since Elder Bai came, why not come in a drink a cup of tea?"
Bai Po was stupefied by Yue Mengli's attitude and could not help saying in surprise, "Isn't Miss Yue worried about Young Master Ye at all?"
Yue Mengli said with a faint smile, "Of course I'm a little worried. However … Big Brother Yuan will definitely return safely."
Bai Po could not help being stunned when he heard. He had mentioned the dangers of the land of ancestral spirits earlier, but Yue Mengli was still so confident.
Where in the world did her confidence stem from?
...
Before long, the tomb guardian appeared in front of Ye Yuan and White Light once again.
"All come on out!"
The tomb guardian's nonchalant voice reverberated inside the great hall. Very soon, one silhouette after another flickered. Several dozen people actually appeared in the great hall all of a sudden!
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan and White Light were both very puzzled.
"This … who are they?" White Light asked curiously
The tomb guardian said with a smile, "They are tomb guardians too."
"This … So many tomb guardians?" White Light could not help being dazed when he heard that.
"When have I said that the tomb guardian was just me alone?" The tomb guardian said mockingly.
White Light: "..."
"I'm called Fan Lin, the leader of the White Tiger Clan's tomb guardians. Our tomb guardian lineage is handed from generation to generation, but our mission will never change, that is to guard the ancestral spirits, and defend the White Tiger Clan. If the White Tiger Clan is in danger of clan extermination, we're also the last barrier!" Fan Lin said.
White Light was alarmed inwardly as he listened. His face turned solemn, and he said to Fan Lin, "Guarding the White Tiger Clan, Lord Fan Lin and everyone have toiled and performed unparalleled merits! Please accept a bow from White Light!"
Fan Lin nodded slightly and said, "Our tomb guardian lineage can receive this bow of yours! Perhaps in the future, our White Tiger Clan will have to serve you as our master. This bow today, I'll accept it on behalf of the ancestors first! Alright, into formation!"
Under Fan Lin's order, each and every one of those tomb guardians swiftly moved positions. Their movements were extremely nimble. Clearly, they had already rehearsed this set of array formation to the limits.
Ye Yuan watched by the side and was also endlessly shocked inwardly.
These tomb guardians, each and every one of them had unfathomable strength! He seriously did not expect that the White Tiger Clan actually still had such a terrifying force!
All of a sudden, the array formation formed. The originally dim great hall suddenly radiated with a brilliant splendor!
"Roar!"
A pressure that was sufficient to decimate the heavens and destroy the earth spread out inside the great hall!
Chapter 991 - Atavism Dragon Soul!
An illusionary white tiger formed in the sky above everyone just like this.
"Welcome the Sacred Ancestor for descending!"
Fan Lin brought the tomb guardian lineage and directly prostrated down towards this illusionary white tiger, appearing especially respectful.
Although this white tiger was an illusionary body, the aura it exuded virtually made Ye Yuan and White Light asphyxiated.
The two people exchanged a glance, both seeing the shocked expression in the other party's eyes.
The spirit of the white tiger had just appeared and was clearly not quite adapted yet. His gaze appeared slightly sluggish.
But very soon, he accustomed to it, and his gaze actually locked onto White Light.
"En, it's already been over a hundred thousand years since the last summoning, right? Summoning this sacred ancestor this time is for this young man?" The white tiger said slowly.
Being stared at like this by the spirit of the white tiger, White Light felt like his soul was about to leave his body.
Fan Lin said respectfully, "Yes, sacred ancestor! In over a hundred thousand years, he's the first Perfect White Tiger Physique that we've encountered."
The white tiger's gaze landed on White Light once more as he slowly opened his mouth to say, "Not bad, it's indeed the Perfect White Tiger Physique. It's a pity that … the degree of development is too low!"
Being stared at by the white tiger like this, White Light's breathing became ragged.
This spirit of the white tiger was too terrifying. Every movement naturally carried terrifying law undulations.
The tomb guardian's aura was already terrifying enough. But compared to this white tiger, it was simply one in the sky, one on earth.
"You … Are you a Deity Realm powerhouse?" White Light asked somewhat lacking in self-confidence.
"Ha … haha …"
Hearing White Light's words, the white tiger suddenly burst into laughter.
Fan Lin's expression changed, and he hurriedly said to White Light, "White Light, don't be rude! Lord Sacred Ancestor is the first ancestor's grandson! Deity Realm powerhouses have to lower their heads in submission in front of him too!"
Hearing Fan Lin's words, Ye Yuan and White Light trembled all over.
Deity Realm powerhouses had to bow their heads in submission too. How horrifying a strength did this require?
This kind of boundary, they were unable to imagine at all.
100 thousand years already, what was after Deity Realm was already erased in history's long river. But without a doubt, between Deity Realm powerhouses had differences of superior and inferior too.
And this white tiger sacred ancestor was clearly an extremely powerful existence among Deity Realm powerhouses.
The spirit of the white tiger slowly said, "This world is already missing a portion of the laws. Wanting to break through to Deity Realm is as hard as ascending to the heavens. It's a shame for your Perfect White Tiger Physique! Alright, this sacred ancestor's time isn't much. Young man, how much you can advance, will depend on your good fortune!"
The spirit of the white tiger extended a tiger claw and lightly tapped between White Light's eyebrows. White Light's entire body shuddered, a pained expression appearing on his face, his entire person suspending in midair.
The spirit of the white tiger opened his enormous maws. A massive ball of light spat out of his mouth and enveloped White Light inside.
The current White Light seemingly returned to fetal breathing, his whole body giving off waves of light halo.
Done with all these, that white tiger's spirit's gaze landed on Ye Yuan.
That murky gaze made Ye Yuan's whole body feel uneasy, and actually made him have an impulse to escape.
Regardless whether it was the previous life or this life, Ye Yuan had never had this sort of feeling before. But this sacred ancestor's spirit was seriously too powerful.
Ye Yuan quietly entered Heaven
Man Unity Realm before forcefully pressing down this sort of thoughts.
"Why would you all let a dragon race's brat enter the land of ancestral spirits?"
The white tiger's spirit looked at Ye Yuan, but the words he said made Fan Lin break into a cold sweat.
"Sacred Ancestor calm your anger, he …"
Fan Lin's words were only said halfway when Ye Yuan interjected, "Don't blame Senior Fan Lin for this matter. It was me who forced him!"
The white tiger's spirit smiled coldly and said, "You, boy, are quite loyal. It's just that in the same era, my White Tiger Clan produced a Perfect White Tiger Physique, but the dragon race produced an Atavism Dragon Soul 1 . This makes this sacred ancestor very displeased!"
Ye Yuan froze and could not help being baffled.
Atavism Dragon Soul, what was that?
Even with Ye Yuan's vast knowledge and experiences, he did not have the slightest inkling regarding this too.
Perfect White Tiger Physique, he still saw before in an ancient record. But Atavism Dragon Soul, he had not even heard before.
Ye Yuan had yet to figure out the situation, but over there, Fan Lin's entire body shuddered, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.
"Lord Sacred Ancestor, y-you're saying … Ye Yuan, he's actually of the legendary Atavism Dragon Soul?" Fan Lin turned pale with fright and said.
"How can this sacred ancestor's arcane eyes see wrongly?" The spirit of the white tiger said coolly.
"But … how is this possible? Ye Yuan he … is clearly a human! Furthermore, Atavism Dragon Soul … it's hard to produce even one in a million years!"
Even if it was personally confirmed by Sacred Ancestor, Fan Lin still felt that it was inconceivable.
A million years, even to Deity Realm powerhouses, it was an extremely long period too.
A physique that could only appear every one million years, it could be imagined how terrifying it was!
White Light's Perfect White Tiger Physique should be said to be a physique hard to come across in 100 thousand years. But this Atavism Dragon Soul was actually even rarer than the Perfect White Tiger Physique!
