Ancestral Stone Spirit, Yan!

"Senior Great Desolation Stele, now that you're gone, what will happen to the Great Desolation Scripture? This is the Hall-Suppressing Divine Scripture in the Desolate Hall of my Dao Sect."

Seeing that the Great Desolation Stele was about to leave with Lin Dong, Ying Xuanzi, the Dao Sect Master, immediately became anxious. Without the Great Desolation Scripture, the Desolate Hall would probably become the last of the four halls again.

"What's the rush? Look, the cultivation method of the Great Desolation Scripture is inside."

"The Great Desolation Scripture was difficult to cultivate in the past because I was looking for a super genius who could bring me two Ancestral Symbol, so the conditions were terribly harsh. Now that the crisis has been resolved, I naturally don't need to be so picky anymore."

"Over the past thousand years, even including Lin Dong, I have only selected six disciples from the Dao Sect. However, the Great Desolation Scripture was painstakingly created by me and possesses formidable power. Its cultivation difficulty is still the most difficult of the so-called Four Great Scripture. I hope the Dao Sect will carefully select outstanding disciples to cultivate it."

With a clench of his fist, the Great Desolation Stele produced a palm-sized ancient stele that rapidly appeared and hurtled towards Ying Xuanzi.

"The difficulty of cultivation has been reduced? Thank you, Senior Great Desolation Stele!"

Ying Xuanzi was overjoyed upon hearing this, for now the Dao Sect would have several more peerless geniuses capable of wielding the Great Desolation Scripture.

The Great Desolation Stele waved its hand. The Dao Sect Master in front of it, though only a minor Samsara Stage expert, was the Ice Master's father in this life. It dared not act arrogantly in front of him.

"Lin Dong, take out the Ancestral Stone. That guy Yan was injured even more severely than me, which forced it, as the Ancestral Stone Spirit, to fall into a deep sleep. Today, I will awaken it in front of the Ice Master and see if it is ashamed."

The Great Desolation Stele reached out and beckoned, causing the stele to tremble violently and immediately crack open, revealing two ancient yellow stone beads the size of longan eyes that instantly flew into its palm.

The two ancient yellow stone beads were formed entirely from the purest Desolation Power, radiating extremely terrifying energy fluctuations. When they were released, even the luster on the monument dimmed considerably.

Its name is the Desolation Stone Bead. It is a small part of the Great Desolation Stele that was specially split off from its origin. The power contained in it is even more terrifying than the Desolation Stone deep in the Desolate Hall of the Martial Arts Hall.

Although the Great Desolation Stele was relentlessly mocking the Ancestral Stone Spirit, it still paid a great price to save it.

"Good."

Lin Dong nodded happily, and with a thought, a fist-sized gray-white Stone Talisman immediately appeared.

He had thought that the spirit of the Ancestral Stone would only awaken when he arrived at the Chaotic Demon Sea's Primordial Tower and used the vast amount of primordial energy there. He never expected that the Great Desolate Stele had a way to awaken the rock ahead of time.

The combat power of an Ancestral Stone with the assistance of the Ancestral Stone Spirit is completely different from that of Ancestral Stone without the assistance of the Ancestral Stone Spirit. He has made a huge profit.

"So this is the Ancestral Stone, ranked second on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking..."

Ying Xuanzi and the others followed the trend and looked over. They hadn't had a chance to properly examine the Ancestral Stone during the demon-slaying, as time had been too rushed.

"Haha, Yan, why aren't you awake yet?!"

With a flick of his finger, the Great Desolation Stele sent two Desolate Pearls into the Ancestral Stone as two streaks of light. As soon as the Desolate Pearls entered the stone, a massive amount of Desolation Power exploded, causing the Ancestral Stone to tremble violently and begin to shine brightly.

Endless, gentle light instantly filled every corner of this world. Strangely, although the light was bright enough, it was not dazzling. Instead, it exuded a faint, gentle power.

"Great Desolation Stele, is it you who awakened me from my slumber? I seem to faintly smell the scent of your Origin Power. There is no one else but you who possesses such pure Desolation Power."

A somewhat blurry figure of light and shadow floated out.

"Hehe, Yan, aren't you going to say hello to your old friends around here?" The Great Desolation Stele glanced at Ying Huanhuan, it couldn't wait to see Yan's shocked expression later.

"A few old friends? Hmm, let me see... Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Space Ancestral Symbol, Darkness Ancestral Symbol, Ice Ancestral Symbol... Ice Master? What are you doing here?!?"

The previously indifferent, blurry figure suddenly trembled violently, and its voice rose abruptly.

"Yan, it's been a long time. Actually, I prefer you to call me by my current name— Ying Huanhuan."

Ying Huanhuan smile, her willow-leaf eyebrows instantly turning into two crescent moons.

"Ying Huanhuan? So the Ice Master has successfully completed her Reincarnation..."

Yan pondered the implication in Ying Huanhuan's words and immediately understood what was going on.

Seeing that Lin Dong and Ying Huanhuan seemed to have a very close relationship, it breathed a sigh of relief. It was not going to go through the troubles of the Great Desolation Stele again.

"Now that everything is settled, let's leave. I've had enough of this dilapidated mountain; it's time to go out and explore." Without waiting for a response, the Great Desolation Stele waved its hand and teleported everyone away.

Outside world.

The space rippled slightly, and Six Paths figures with different auras suddenly appeared.

"Boom!"

The majestic ancient stele buried deep within the withered Giant Peak suddenly trembled, rapidly rising into the air, and immediately transformed into a palm-sized ancient yellow stone stele, which then entered Lin Dong's body.

"Young Lin Dong, please take care of me from now on."

An aged voice flashed past his ear.

"Great Desolation Stele, please take good care of it."

Lin Dong smiled happily as well.

The Great Desolation Stele ranks third among the Ancient Divine Object. Although it is ranked slightly lower than the Ancestral Stone, the Ancestral Stone was crafted by the Symbol Ancestor to coordinate the power of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols, and purifying Demonic Qi is only one of its secondary functions.

As for Lin Dong's previous use of the Ancestral Stone to purify Spiritual Medicine and deduce cultivation techniques, cough, that's like using a ship-slaying knife to kill a chicken; it's completely outside his scope of expertise.

Ancestral Stone was forced to help out of desperation.

However, the Great Desolation Stele is different. The Great Desolation Stele was created by the Symbol Ancestor with the original intention of suppressing and annihilating the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking Yi Mo and is in charge of killing. It is the strongest demon-suppressing divine artifact among the thousands of Ancient Divine Object artifacts on the list of ancient divine artifacts, without exception.

Back then, even after the Great Desolation Stele suffered severe damage, it was still able to grit its teeth and suppress a True Demon King with Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation in the Eastern Xuan Region. At its peak, it could completely contend with True Demon King with Three-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation.

The Demon King Annihilation Plate ranks sixth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking. It was also renowned in Ancient Era because it could completely annihilate King-tier Demons, but it required the blessing of at least four Ancestral Symbol.

For example, in the later part of the original work, in order to kill the Heavenly Underworld King, Qing Zhi used the Demon King Annihilation Plate, which combined the Ancestral Symbol Power Devouring, Thunder, Flame, and Life and Death, and only then was he able to force the Heavenly Underworld King back into the Demon Embryo state. In the end, he was rescued by a True Demon King who arrived at the scene.

Therefore, although the Demon King Annihilation Plate is also a demon-suppressing divine object, its use is subject to many restrictions and comes at a high cost. It is nothing like the Great Desolation Stele, which is simply brutal. No matter how many thousands of Yi Mo there are, I will suppress them all with just one stele.

The Great Desolation Stele is the first ancient artifact used to suppress demons!

"Great Desolation Stele, you stepped on my foot, get out of my way."

"Tch, Yan, you're such an ungrateful bastard. Don't forget, I just saved you."

"Bullshit, I..."

As soon as the Great Desolation Stele entered Lin Dong's body, an extremely intense argument erupted within him.

Lin Dong: "..."
