"Great Desolation Stele, I've brought many old friends to see you. Won't you come out and greet them?" Lin Dong, who was shielding himself from the earth's power, raised his head and spoke to this dilapidated space filled with desolate energy.

"..."

There was no response; the space was deathly silent.

Lin Dong smiled nonchalantly.

Beneath the Great Desolation Stele lies a True Demon King passed Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation. However, due to injuries sustained in the Ancient Great War, its efforts to suppress the Demon King have become increasingly difficult over the past millennia, and it even faces the danger of being suppressed in return.

In order to break out of this predicament, for thousands of years it has been sending messages to the sect that protects it— the Dao Sect —as a kind of alternative appeal for help.

To completely eradicate this True Demon King, at least two Ancestral Symbol must be used. Therefore, it continuously selects exceptionally talented disciples from among the Dao Sect sects and passes them on to the Great Desolation Scripture, which it created, hoping that they can bring back two Ancestral Symbol.

The Dao Sect disciples chosen by the Great Desolation Stele are either exceptionally talented geniuses with the potential to reach the pinnacle, or they are wielders of Ancestral Symbol.

This is why, over the past thousand years, very few Dao Sect practitioners have obtained the Great Desolation Scripture.

Because the Great Desolation Stele is selecting, carefully choosing those to make the pact, there are very few beings that can be taken seriously by the third Ancient Divine Object in the world.

However, neither the Dao Sect predecessors of the past nor Zhou Tong, the later holder of the Space Ancestral Symbol, succeeded in bringing the two Ancestral Symbol back, as if they had all embarked on a road of no return.

Originally, Zhou Tong was the one who came closest to success. He already possessed the Space Ancestral Symbol, and as long as he found another Ancestral Symbol, he would succeed. Unfortunately, he still failed.

Repeated failures caused the Great Desolation Stele to completely lose confidence. Disappointed with the Dao Sect, it stopped responding to visits from the Dao Sect disciples.

Therefore, after Zhou Tong, no one in the Dao Sect was able to obtain the Great Desolation Scripture.

"Tch, what an impolite fellow. Since you won't come out, I'll just go find you myself." Lin Dong smiled and sat down cross-legged, his hands moving in a lightning-fast series of hand seals.

"Ancient Qiankun Formation, activate!"

As the low shout fell, the ancient array hidden in his dantian immediately came to life, and countless lights and shadows emerged from the void, transforming into a vast array that covered the sky.

"Ancestral Stone, come forth!"

As the flesh between his brows writhed, an ancient Stone Talisman appeared above Lin Dong's head. The gentle light it emitted condensed into a milky-white pillar of light that shot straight into the heavens.

"Devouring Ancestral Symbol, emerge!"

A tremendous Devouring Power surged forth, evolving into a vortex black hole about ten feet in size, which rapidly expanded outwards from Lin Dong's center into the distant space, like a ferocious beast about to devour the entire world.

The Ancient Qiankun Formation ranks fifth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking!

Ancestral Stone, ranked second on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking!

The Devouring Ancestral Symbol is the earliest of the Eight Supreme Ancestral Symbols in the world!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The auras emanating from the Three Great Ancient Divine Objects rapidly merged together, transforming into a Connecting Heaven pillar of light that relentlessly bombarded this world. Finally, the entire desolate space shattered like a mirror.

"Crack!"

A shattering sound rang out, and Lin Dong felt a blur before his eyes as his figure instantly appeared in a Chaos Space, where an ancient gray-yellow stele stood alone in the center.

"Oh dear, you little rascals, you just don't know how to Venerable Elder."

A blurry light and shadow appeared, followed by an ancient and hoarse voice.

"Oh dear, some older people just don't have the patience and are unwilling to give young people another chance."

Lin Dong smiled and responded without any politeness.

"... Hey, brat, I am the third divine artifact in the world, the Great Desolation Stele. Show some respect when you speak to me."

The blurry light and shadow suddenly wriggled, clearly furious.

"Call me Big Brother."

With a thought, an ancient Stone Talisman emitting a gentle light appeared between Lin Dong's eyebrows, gentle and upright.

The second most divine object in the world, the Ancestral Stone!

Blurred light and shadow. "..."

"So that guy Yan really is in this kid's hands. I thought Sense Stage something wrong just now. Judging from this kid's use of the Ancestral Stone Power, he has already begun to understand it. He is not just simply holding Yan."

"It is only because the rock is a symbol of its master's identity that it has always served by its master's side. Even though the master has passed away, the next host it has chosen should be someone who is expected to enter the Ancestor Stage and inherit the master's will."

"Logically speaking, the Ice Master is the one with the best chance of reaching the Ancestor Stage in this world. Yan should be looking for the Ice Master's Reincarnation. But now he's following him. Does Yan think this kid's talent is stronger than the Ice Master's?"

"Could it be that Yan suffered a brain injury after being severely injured and falling into a deep sleep? Tsk, speaking of which, he hasn't woken up from his sleep yet, so his injuries are much more serious than mine."

Gazing at the tall, imposing figure before him, the blurry figure fell into deep thought.

"Great Desolation Stele, aren't you the third ancient divine artifact? Why don't you call the second ancient divine artifact 'Big Brother'?"

Seeing the malfunctioning Tablet Spirit, Lin Dong couldn't resist teasing it.

"Huh? You actually knew we were here?"

The Tablet Spirit, who had been racking its brains, suddenly raised its head and looked at Lin Dong with great surprise.

The sect outside, whose strength was decent, has remained unknown for a thousand years. All that is known is that its origin is mysterious and that it is a powerful Ancient Divine Object.

"My teacher is the Ancient Azure Dragon King Qing Zhi, so what difficulty is there in knowing these things?" Lin Dong smiled slightly, though this reason was, of course, made up.

However, among those ancient monsters who survived the Heaven and Earth War, who wouldn't know about the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking? Just like how every martial artist in the Eastern Xuan Region knows which Eight Great Super Sects are, that's common sense.

"Ancient Azure Dragon King? That title sounds impressive, but I've never heard of such a powerful figure before?"

"Hmm, let me think about it carefully. There seems to have been a little guy named Qing Zhi in the early years, but his strength was only at the Samsara Stage, which hardly qualifies him as a top-tier expert. Perhaps it was later..."

The old man Tablet Spirit, seemed to have fallen into a long reverie once again.

Those who can have their names remembered by the Great Desolation Stele are all top-tier powerhouses who have entered the cycle of Reincarnation and have made a great name for themselves in the world.

In the early stages of the Ancient Great War, Qing Zhi could only be considered a second-tier powerhouse. He entered the Reincarnation at the end of the war, and after breaking through the barrier, he single-handedly crossed Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation, officially stepping into the ranks of top powerhouses.

"Stop, stop, Great Desolation Stele, let's get down to business."

Seeing the Tablet Spirit once again drifting off into its Spirit Wandering, Lin Dong quickly called out.

If we let this guy continue to empty himself, what will become of his Great Desolation Scripture?
