Master of Space
"There's one more person?" Yan was taken aback.
"Yes, you see."
Lin Dong reached out his palm and slowly touched the empty mountain wall at the deepest part of the Heavenly Cave. Before he even touched the wall, ripples spread out, and a mysterious force was trying its best to prevent him from getting closer.
"Huh, there really is someone here in seclusion, and they've managed to hide it from our senses. How strange!"
"Why do I feel that this power is vaguely familiar? Could it be that an old friend we know is in seclusion inside?"
Now, the Great Desolation Stele and the Profound Heaven Hall also moved closer.
"Let's find out who's inside."
With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Dong vanished from the spot, carrying away the Spirits of the Three Great Divine Objects.
A strange scene unfolded: when Lin Dong activated the Space Ancestral Symbol, the "wall" that had previously tried so hard to prevent him from entering immediately and obediently let him pass, even showing a hint of joy.
In the center of the cave, on a blue stone platform.
A gaunt figure in a silver robe sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. The man was about thirty years old, thin, with long silver hair casually draped over his shoulders, exuding an exceptionally ancient aura, and a sense of vicissitude filled the entire cave.
When Lin Dong previously obtained the Eternal Illusion Demonic Flower, he also encountered the true strength of the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe, a Grand Elder whose strength was in no way inferior to that of the Dragon Clan's Qing Zhi and Yuan Guang, a powerhouse of the Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation.
Compared to this person, the old monster who survived the Ancient Great War was like an ant compared to a dragon.
"The Master of Space?"
"Master of Space!"
"Master of Space!!"
As soon as Lin Dong and his companions entered the cave, three unusually surprised voices rang out in unison, surprisingly harmonious and unified.
"Hey, we should have thought of that sooner. Given his status and background, this is actually the safest place for him to retreat and heal."
The three of them exchanged a glance and murmured with complicated expressions.
"Call out!"
Before Lin Dong could even ask a question, the Space Ancestral Symbol that had been floating and nurtured in his Niwan Palace suddenly flew out and rushed straight towards the Silver Robe Man's chest with lightning speed.
"Hehe, old buddy, you already have a new master, why are you still running here?" At this moment, a withered hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed the Space Ancestral Symbol that had traveled through space with exceptional precision.
He's awake!
The Silver Robe Man's eyes, which had been sealed for tens of thousands of years, suddenly opened, revealing a pair of dazzling Silver Eyes that radiated strange fluctuations. Within these Silver Eyes, endless space seemed to rise and fall, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of the Ancient Realm were created and destroyed.
In just a few breaths, the emaciated Silver Robe Man rapidly expanded as if inflating a balloon, with a large amount of flesh and blood filling his skin-and-bones body, and his pale face regaining a rosy hue.
Although its body is still thin, it is no longer as sickly and decaying as before, but is full of Life Force, as vast and boundless as the sea.
"Buzz!"
The Space Ancestral Symbol, held in the palm of the Silver Robe Man, trembled and hummed excitedly as if it had returned to its womb. After being rejected by the former, it released a depressed emotion in dissatisfaction, which was quite human-like.
"Hehe, alright, alright, it doesn't matter where you fight. Besides, it's not like you won't see me again in the future. Go back, go back. Your new master needs you more than I do."
The Silver Robe Man gently stroked the Space Ancestral Symbol in his palm, soothing it softly for a while before it finally agreed to obediently fly back into Lin Dong's body.
"Yan, Great Desolation Stele, Profound Heaven Hall, it's been a long time. I've just woken up and I'm already seeing you old friends. My mood has improved a lot for some reason."
"Hmm, the Ancient Qiankun Formation seems to be here too, but it seems only the physical body is there. Where did its spirit go?"
The Silver Robe Man slowly raised his head and looked at Yan and the others with a smile.
"That guy from the Ancient Qiankun Formation should have left his spirit in the Ancestral Palace. Anyway, he's a real pain. Don't worry about that idiot. Master of Space, it's been a long time."
Yan said in a very familiar tone.
"Thank goodness they're all alive, thank goodness they're all alive~"
The Master of Space smiled and turned to look at Lin Dong: "This is the first time I've seen someone who can wield the power of the Three Great Ancestral Symbols and the Seven Great Sects Divine Artifacts all by himself. Even my teacher needs to rely on the power of the Rock to balance the power of the Ancestral Symbol at the same time."
"Little one, what's your name?"
"Lin Dong I met Senior Master of Space, I was quite surprised by your identity before Yan told me this news."
Lin Dong stepped forward to greet him.
"What's so surprising? Honghuang is the ancestor of the sea giant clan among the sea monsters of the Chaotic Demon Sea, and Senior Sister Life and Death is the ancestor of the Undying Holy Whale clan. So why can't my space be the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sable clan?"
"When our teacher accepted the eight of us as his disciples, he was teaching without discrimination. As long as we were sincere in our pursuit of the Dao, we could all become his disciples. In fact, half of the eight of us were born into the Demonic Beast race, while the other half were of Human Race blood."
The Master of Space laughed.
That's right, the Master of Space is not human at all. He is the Heavenly Demon Marten, the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Race who protected the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe from the Heaven and Earth War.
In ancient times, the Demon Domain, at the height of its power, had more than twenty Overlord Clan and hundreds of the Royal Clan. However, after the great war, most of them perished, with only Four Overlord Clans Eight Royal Clans remaining.
Why were the Four Overlord Clans able to survive the devastating war in ancient times, not only without falling from the ranks of the Overlord Clan, but also thriving?
It's because all four companies have real big shots backing them.
Behind the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe is the Master of Space; behind the Dragon Clan is the Six-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor; and behind the Kunpeng Tribe is Kun Qing'er, the wife of the Devouring Master.
Although the ancestor of the Nine Phoenix Clan was not well-known, he was a formidable figure in ancient times. He was a ruthless person who had cultivated his Innate Divine Ability, the Nine Phoenix Creation Light, to the point that countless Demon King trembled in fear. Wherever the light reached, even King Rank beings would perish.
Finally, it was only through the personal intervention of the top three figures in the Ten King Palace under the Demon Emperor that he was finally eliminated.
Going back further, let's talk about the Sea Demon Tribe of the Chaotic Demon Sea.
The Undying Sacred Whale Tribe has the Master of Life and Death support, Sea Giant Tribe has the Master of Primeval Desolation Era as their support.
For example, the Blood Demon Shark Tribe, which was utterly defeated by the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe, was once powerful in ancient times, with a Reincarnation Stage ancestor presiding over them, barely managing to enter the ranks of the Overlord Clan.
After that Reincarnation Stage ancestor died, they immediately fell from the ranks of the Overlord Clan.
In short, none of the major Overlord Clan that survived the earth-shattering Demonic Disaster that swept across the entire Tianxuan Continent and are still alive and well are simple. Perhaps there is an old monster you have seen in history books hiding in your home.
For example, the person squatting in front of Lin Dong Master of Space among the Eight Ancient Masters, who has already entered the Three-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation and is a top ancient Great Master who wields the Space Ancestral Symbol.
