A Forbidden Zone Heir Naturally Had to Return to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to Undergo His Tribulation

Outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, at the edge of the vast, ancient forest.

Cultivators from all sides gradually gathered.

The Sacred Body's desire to challenge the Four Extremes Secret Realm in the Life Forbidden Zone and break the curse that has lasted for tens of thousands of years has already spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland, stirring up a storm.

Some people are looking forward to witnessing a miracle, some are watching coldly, and some have ulterior motives and want to obstruct the way.

The sun was just rising, and the morning mist had not yet dissipated.

Two Dao Body descended from the sky on clouds; they were Li Qingshan, Ye Fan, and the Black Emperor.

Li Qingshan remained dressed in white, with Three-Legged Golden Crow bearing brilliant divine feathers perched on his shoulder.

Ye Fan's aura was deep and focused. Seven days of quiet cultivation had brought him to his peak condition. Although his blood and qi were restrained, there was a faint sound of a dragon's roar.

The Black Emperor had already arrived at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land from Jade Pool to wait. It was unusually quiet, and his dog-like eyes warily scanned the surrounding mountains and forests.

"That's the Sacred Body? It seems they intend to use the power of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to undergo their tribulation."

"Is that the legendary Eastern Exalt beside him? I never expected him to be here to protect the Sacred Body."

" The Eastern Exalt's cultivation is unfathomable; it seems unlikely there will be any major setbacks today."

Whispers drifted over, and many eyes fell on the two of them.

Ignoring the others, Li Qingshan led Ye Fan to the summit of a solitary peak at the edge of the forbidden area.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, rocks are dark, and the air is filled with the unique, chilling, desolate atmosphere of a forbidden land.

In the distance, nine sacred mountains appeared and disappeared in the mist, like sleeping behemoths.

"Right here." Li Qingshan paused, his voice calm. "The power of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land can suppress heretical paths and weaken curses. Just focus on breaking through; don't worry about anything else."

Ye Fan nodded emphatically and sat down cross-legged.

He took out a large amount of source energy, sealed the essence with Dao patterns, and began to adjust his internal breathing.

Golden energy slowly rose, like mist and rosy clouds, illuminating the surroundings in a magnificent glow.

Black Emperor squatted to one side, its paws tracing hidden array patterns on the ground, muttering, "Kid, if you succeed today, you'll truly have a bright future ahead of you."

"I understand." Ye Fan closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his Sea of Bitterness.

Dao Scripture circulated, the five Divine Treasures resonated in unison, and the Great Dao Heavenly Sound faintly emanated from within, subtly resonating with the surrounding heaven and earth.

Li Qingshan stood alone on the cliff edge, gazing into the depths of the forbidden area.

Golden Crow cries softly on my shoulder, scattering warm golden rays.

His fingers twitched slightly inside his sleeve, as if he were deducing something.

As the sun rose higher, almost everyone had arrived.

Powerful figures from the Central Continent Dynasty, the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the various holy lands of the Eastern Wasteland all arrived, while the younger generation of holy sons and daughters remained hidden among the crowd, observing the unfolding events.

Those familiar with Ye Fan, such as Ji Ziyue and Zixia, looked worried.

Golden-Winged Little Peng King, Yaoguang Holy Son, Ji Haoyue, and others had burning eyes and hidden fighting spirit.

At noon, Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes!

"Boom!"

A massive amount of Divine Source essence surged into the sky, transforming into hundreds of dazzling pillars of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

His body was like crystal, his internal organs radiated divine light, his blood and qi swirled like dragons, and the sounds of rushing rivers and beating divine drums emanated from his body.

The complete transformation has officially begun!

"We're about to break through!" someone whispered.

Ye Fan's body glowed, old skin peeled off, new skin grew, and pale golden blood surged in the newly formed blood vessels, emitting a thunderous sound.

This is a unique transformation of the Sacred Body, and its power is awe-inspiring.

The desolate atmosphere at the edge of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land seemed to have been somewhat diluted.

However, at almost the same moment.

"Laugh!"

The Void cracked open, and a jet-black sword beam silently pierced towards Ye Fan's back!

The sword's edge contained a sinister, deathly aura, yet it managed to evade the radiance of Divine Source essence and strike directly at the vital point.

Someone in the shadows has made their move!

Moreover, his first move was a fatal blow, intended to disrupt Ye Fan's breakthrough and cause him to fail.

Do you wish to die?

Li Qingshan spoke softly, then with his fingers drawn like a sword, he made a light slash behind him.

"Buzz."

Five-Colored Divine Light burst forth from his fingertips, flowing in shades of blue, yellow, red, black, and white, transforming into a dazzling rainbow that arrived first after it appeared, brushing against the dark sword light.

The sword light, imbued with terrifying death energy, melted and vanished silently, like ice and snow meeting the sun, without even causing a ripple.

" Five-Colored Divine Light, sweeping away nothing!" An elder's pupils contracted as he recognized this as a legendary supernatural power that Li Qingshan frequently used.

The sneak attacks didn't stop there.

The clouds in the sky churned, and a giant hand formed of purple lightning crashed down, covering half a mountain peak, its power distorting the Void.

Seven more blood-red chains emerged from the ground, binding the fragments of law and locking them towards Ye Fan's limbs and bones.

Further away, a mournful flute melody rose, its invisible sound waves attacking the soul and attempting to disturb the Dao heart.

Multiple parties acted in unison, cooperating tacitly. All of them were top figures from Immortal Platform who cast spells remotely, using ruthless and cunning methods.

Li Qingshan remained expressionless and took a step forward.

He formed a mudra with his left hand and gently pushed it towards the sky.

" The Heaven-Overturning Seal."

An ancient seal emerged from the palm of his hand. At first, it was no bigger than a fist, but it quickly expanded and became as majestic as a mountain. Its entire body was filled with chaotic energy, carrying a terrifying Daoist aura that could overturn heaven and earth and suppress the eight wastelands, rising against the sky!

"Boom!!"

The purple lightning palm collided with the Heaven-Overturning Seal, the lightning shattered, and chaotic energy spread. The giant palm was actually smashed apart, turning into a rain of light.

The great seal continued its momentum, plunging into the clouds and blasting apart a blurry figure hidden within, sending a shower of blood raining down across the sky.

At the same time, Li Qingshan made a hand seal with his right hand and pressed it down lightly.

" Four Symbols Seal."

The Four Symbols beasts— Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise —manifested simultaneously, roaring and flying around the mountain peak.

The Azure Dragon swung its tail, severing the blood-red chains;

The White Tiger roared to the sky, scattering the yin energy from the earth.

The Vermilion Bird spreads its wings, burning away all filth and evil spirits;

Black Tortoise) guards the land, stabilizing the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers.

The seven blood-red chains snapped inch by inch, turning into black smoke and dissipating.

The eerie flute music that was invading Ye Fan's soul was blocked and eliminated by a layer of hazy, clear light that naturally flowed around Li Qingshan when it approached within thirty feet of Ye Fan.

The clear light seemed to exist yet not exist, but it contained the highest Daoist principles, impervious to all laws.

" Void Seal."

Li Qingshan drank again, and his figure suddenly blurred, as if he appeared in several locations at the same time, pointing several fingers into the Void.

With each finger strike, a hidden figure crumbled.

He moved between reality and illusion with ease, yet swiftly and decisively eliminated all the hidden traps he had set up.

In just a few breaths, the multiple traps were broken, and all the attackers were killed!

All onlookers were horrified.

" The Eastern Exalt is terrifyingly powerful; in his hands, Mighty Figure are like mere weeds." A Saint Lord-level figure sighed, completely extinguishing any remaining thoughts.

Ye Fan seemed oblivious to the battle outside his body, his mind completely immersed in the transformation he was undergoing during his tribulation.

The tribulation seemed endless, but it eventually came to an end, and finally all the tribulation clouds dissipated.

The old body sheds, a new one is born, the skin is as clear Ruyu, pale golden blood flows like mercury, and the aura rises steadily.

Above his head, the Cauldron of All-Things Mother Qi floated and sank, with thousands of Xuanhuang Qi falling down to help him condense his Dao foundation.

Finally, the physical transformation is complete!

"Buzz,"

The heavens and earth trembled slightly as Ye Fan rose to his feet, his eyes flashing like lightning as he gazed directly at the sky.

He successfully entered the threshold of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, his physical body was perfect and flawless, and his divine power was as vast as the sea.

However, just as his aura merged with heaven and earth, attempting to imprint itself onto the Void and completely solidify his realm,

"Rumble, rumble, rumble,"

A sudden change occurred high above the heavens!

A grander, more oppressive resonance.

The Void rippled like water, and countless Innate Dao Patterns emerged from nothingness, intertwining and connecting to quickly form a massive Dao diagram that Shrouding the Heavens!

The Dao diagram, imbued with a cold, repulsive, and utterly monstrous will, slowly rotated and locked onto Ye Fan.

" The Innate Dao Diagram! It really is it!"

"Heaven and earth cannot tolerate Sacred Body! The ancient sages' predictions are correct; this is the fundamental reason why Sacred Body's path to immortality is cut off!"

"Bearing the will of Heaven and Earth, the true form of the Great Dao has manifested; this calamity is beyond human resistance!"

Exclamations erupted, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

The aura emanating from that diagram made even the Holy Lord's heart tremble, as if he were facing the judgment of the rules of heaven and earth.

Ye Fan let out a muffled groan, as if struck by a heavy blow.

He felt abandoned and isolated by the entire world, the Great Dao was far away, his divine power was sluggish, and his realm, which had just been completed and entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm, was beginning to become unstable!

The Dao diagram slowly pressed down, freezing the Void and causing laws to retreat, carrying with it a ruthless will to obliterate all that was "out of line".

Li Qingshan looked up, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

He had expected this, so he showed no surprise at the moment.

With a flash, he appeared before Ye Fan, facing the slowly descending Innate Dao Diagram. (The system has matched you with the Infinite Heavens category; click here.)

"Teacher!" Ye Fan said urgently.

"Calm your mind." Li Qingshan's voice was steady, yet carried an undeniable power. "This diagram targets your foundation and origin; it is also a manifestation of a curse."

He raised his hands, held them in front of his chest, and traced mysterious trajectories.

" Yin-Yang Seal."

Black and white energies surged from his palm, swirling and intertwining to form a Taiji symbol.

The Taiji diagram did not directly confront the Innate Dao Diagram, but rather attached itself to it and slowly rotated. The Yang Fish eyes swallowed and exhaled chaos, and began to analyze and assimilate some of the Dao trajectories contained in the Dao diagram!

The downward pressure of the Innate Dao Diagram eased.

" Wuji Seal."

Beneath Li Qingshan's feet, the mountain trembled, and the vast and profound essence of the earth was drawn up, transforming into a hazy yellow light that rose up and supported Ye Fan, acting as the most solid foundation to resist the "separation of heaven and earth" sensation brought by the Dao diagram, temporarily stabilizing Ye Fan's Dao foundation.

"Not enough," Li Qingshan muttered to himself.

The Innate Dao Diagram is a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth targeting the bloodline of the Sacred Body. It can only be delayed, not eradicated, by the transformation of Yin-Yang and the bearing of Wuji.

He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

With fingers pointing like a knife, he slowly slashed down into the Void ahead.

" Heaven-Opening Seal!"

This seal, devoid of any worldly concerns, seems to contain the supreme truth of opening up chaos and reshaping the universe.

"Sizzle,"

In the darkness, it seemed as if countless "threads" connecting the Innate Dao Diagram with Ye Fan's origin and with the deep rules of this world were severed by this seal!

The Dao diagram trembled violently, its light flickering, and the absolute lock-on and suppression between it and Ye Fan showed a slight loosening!

"Now! Go in!" Li Qingshan shouted in a low voice, rolling up his sleeves.

Ye Fan, struck by a sudden inspiration, did not hesitate. Taking advantage of the moment when the lock loosened and the space folded, he fully activated the Nine Secrets: Xing, transforming into a stream of light and rushing towards the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land that was within reach!

"He went in!"

"They actually dared to trespass into Life Forbidden Zone!"

" The Innate Dao Diagram also went in!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Ye Fan disappeared into the mist at the edge of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, while the massive Innate Dao Diagram followed closely behind, crushing into it. The desolate aura collided with the will of the Great Dao, stirring up a towering black mist.

Inside the forbidden area, Ye Fan suddenly felt immense pressure.

Even more terrifying was that his divine power was greatly suppressed, as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.

He gritted his teeth and, relying on his powerful Sacred Body body, strode laboriously toward the sacred mountain deep within the forbidden area.

The Innate Dao Diagram followed closely behind, and as expected, it was weakened by the desolate aura of the forbidden area, its speed slowed down, and the Dao patterns became dim and uncertain. However, its will to annihilate the foundation of the Sacred Body remained firm, and it continued to exert invisible suppression, causing Ye Fan's physical body to crack and his pale golden blood to spill out.

He disregarded everything else, with only one thought in his mind: to get closer to the holy mountain!

Finally, the nine sacred mountains came into view.

However, atop the mountain, several Dao Body stood indifferently, their eyes empty and lifeless—these were none other than the fearsome " Desolate Slave "! Among them was a woman in white, none other than the Tianxuan Saintess from six thousand years ago!

The Desolate Slave's gaze fell upon him, cold and merciless.

The Desolate Slave ' gazes swept over Ye Fan, their movements paused slightly, and instead of immediately attacking, they slowly retreated into the depths of the mist.

Although Ye Fan didn't understand why, he knew he couldn't miss the opportunity and rushed to the foot of the nearest sacred mountain, beside the Divine Spring.

He was now covered in wounds, his aura weak, and the Innate Dao Diagram hung above his head, shrouded in a dim light, about to be finally obliterated.

Outside the forbidden area, everyone held their breath.

Li Qingshan stood alone on the cliff edge, his gaze piercing through the mist, fixed on the direction of the sacred mountain.

Black Emperor frantically dug at the ground, while Zixia and the others looked on with pity.

"Is the Sacred Body about to fall?" someone sighed.

Just as Ye Fan was nearly exhausted, Innate Dao Diagram was about to completely fall and obliterate his fundamental source of Dao,

"Thump!!"

A deep, muffled, terrifying heartbeat, seemingly originating from eternity ago, suddenly resounded from the deepest part of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, from that endless abyss of darkness!

Heaven and earth suddenly froze!

The wind stopped, the clouds stayed still, and time seemed to freeze.

Inside and outside the forbidden area, all cultivators were shaken to their core, their thoughts almost frozen, as an immense fear originating from their very life instincts gripped each and every one of them.

In the Desolate Antiquity Abyss, black mist boiled! A pair of enormous eyes, as big as the sun and moon, yet filled with bloodshot veins and chaos, slowly opened in the abyss!

Just by being gazed upon by those eyes, many Saint Lord-level figures outside felt their primordial spirits about to shatter, their Dao hearts trembled, and they almost knelt down.

"Wilderness, Lord Wilderness?!"

"The supreme being deep within the forbidden land has awakened!"

"Is Dark Turmoil about to begin?!"

Extreme fear exploded in everyone's minds.

From the depths of the abyss, a gigantic fist covered in thick red fur and entwined with the phantom of black chains slowly emerged.

The arm was withered yet seemed to contain the immense power to shatter galaxies, shrouded in an eerie and ominous aura that lingered in the air. And deeper within, an invincible will that dominated the universe, was supremely yang and unyielding, and had crushed countless ages, suddenly awakened.

The giant fist made no fancy moves; it simply punched out from a distance at the Innate Dao Diagram above the sacred mountain that blotted out the sun and made all the saints tremble!

"Thump!!!!"

It was not the loud noise of physical objects colliding, but a terrifying roar that shook the very foundation of the Great Dao and shattered the very basis of the rules!

The entire Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land trembled violently, and countless fine cracks spread across the surrounding Void like glass.

On the dark surface of the Innate Dao Diagram, centered on the imaginary fist imprint, a light burst forth that was millions of times more intense than the Sun!

That wasn't the Dao diagram emitting light, but rather the final, destructive radiance that burst forth when the "unacceptable to heaven and earth" will it carried was violently pierced by absolute power, and its structure and foundation of existence were completely shattered!

Within the light, countless Innate Dao Patterns could be clearly seen breaking and disintegrating inch by inch, like glaciers being crushed.

That cold, repulsive, and aloof Dao True Form let out a silent wail under this extremely powerful and fierce punch, and then exploded completely!

There were no fragments scattered, because even the "fragments" were erased by the force of the fist.

The Dao diagram directly transformed into the most primordial law light rain, which then quickly dimmed and dissipated into the desolate aura unique to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had not only shattered the Dao diagram, but also crushed all traces of its existence in its palm.

One punch, and the Dao diagram crumbled! The very rules of heaven and earth were shaken!

Immediately, the giant fist slowly retracted, the red-haired man disappeared into the surging black mist, his eyes closed, and the abyss returned to deathly silence.

Only the lingering echo of that domineering and unparalleled fist intent still faintly reverberates above the forbidden area, proclaiming its once invincible existence!

The desolate atmosphere remained, but the oppressive aura that once made heaven and earth tremble had vanished.

The confinement was lifted, and time resumed its flow.

"Thump." Many cultivators collapsed to the ground, their legs weak and their clothes soaked with cold sweat, as if they had just walked through the gates of hell.

At the foot of the sacred mountain, Ye Fan was stunned.

With clarity above his head and the oppression gone, the essence of heaven and earth surged back into his parched body, and the barriers of the Four Extremes Secret Realm were suddenly opened up, truly stabilizing him.

The Sacred Body's vital energy circulated spontaneously, wounds healed rapidly, the body shone brightly, and a powerful and perfect aura rose up.

He succeeded! The curse was broken, and his Sacred Body was partially formed!

"Haha, hahaha!" Ye Fan was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but burst into laughter, his unrestrained laughter echoing throughout the ancient Ancient Saint. "Heaven and earth will not tolerate me? I will still attain the Dao!"

Outside the forbidden area, Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile playing on his lips.

" The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body," he murmured to himself.

That fleeting glimpse just now—the red hair, the chains, the ominous sign, and the hidden, domineering yang energy—all pointed to that invincible Sacred Body who had suffered misfortune in his later years and was now guarding the forbidden area.

Although its state was strange, its remaining will still prevented heaven and earth from severing the path of the Sacred Body.

"Congratulations." Li Qingshan's gentle voice reached Ye Fan's ears.

Ye Fan stopped laughing, looked at the white-clad figure outside the forbidden area, and bowed respectfully.

Without the teacher severing the connection of rules and creating an opportunity beforehand, he would have been powerless to step into the forbidden area and provoke that being to take action.

At this moment, the outside world was already in an uproar.

"The Dao Map has been erased?"

"Did something from the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land intervene to help the Sacred Body?"

"That's it! The rumors about the forbidden area having a past connection with the Sacred Body are actually true!"

" The Sacred Body Curse has been broken; it has truly achieved minor success!"

"A physique capable of growing to the point of challenging Ancient Great Emperor has been born!"

Amazement, envy, complex emotions, and awe—all kinds of gazes were focused on Ye Fan, who had just emerged from the forbidden area.

He was covered in blood, yet his eyes burned brightly, and his aura was powerful and harmonious, as if he had been reborn.

The Golden-Winged Little Peng King gripped the halberd on his back tightly, Xia Jiuyou narrowed his eyes, and the holy sons and goddesses all looked solemn.

An Desolate Ancient Sacred Body that breaks the curse is enough to change the landscape of the younger generation.
