"I wonder where the Third Ancestor has gone," soone mused.
"His venerability is truly formidable, having certified an Immortal Demon Body; even in such a perilous place, he can penetrate this deep," another person exclaid in admiration.
"Maybe, the Third Ancestor has already succeeded in obtaining the treasures of this place."
Everyone was abuzz with speculation.
Long Pantian and the others, however, had somber expressions on their faces.
On this journey, the strong mbers of the Jiaolong Demon Race had continuously hit "jackpots."
They had lost over a hundred people!
Normally, even if there were so scattered Calamity Thorns on the ground, it would be very easy for a cultivator to avoid them.
But in many cases, the situations were simply preposterous, with people inexplicably tripping over and such...
Leading to heavy losses for them!
"I wonder how the third one is doing; he’s too impatient. He should have waited for us to go together..."
Long Panyun spoke up.
Long Pantian nodded in agreent.
"Hey, look, why is there dragon scales on the ground?"
At this mont, soone suddenly spoke up.
Everyone looked and saw that there were so scattered Jiaolong scales on the ground ahead!
And next to it, there was a pile of ash, as if so marvelous Divine Fire had burned there!
"These are... these are the third one’s dragon scales?!" Long Panyun’s face changed.
Everyone was surprised at his words.
What’s the situation?
The Third Ancestor, Long Panfeng, actually dropped his dragon scales here?
"I understand now!"
Long Pantian pondered for a mont, but suddenly he burst with joy, saying,
"The third one has transford!"
"Look, these dragon scales... in these ashes, there’s faintly a charred piece of flesh!"
"This flesh is also the third one’s."
Hearing this, Long Panyun took in a sharp breath and said,
"The legendary Divine Fire burning the body, leading to an ultimate transformation?!"
He thought of this legend!
When the Demon Clan cultivates the body to an incredibly powerful state, they will attract the Divine Fire of heaven and earth, burning their own body. If one can step through it, that’s a complete rebirth, akin to becoming immortal!
"Eternal Demon Body... Long Panfeng has actually reached such a level?"
Even Lu Zouzhai from the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe, had his pupils shrink, saying,
"This lineage is truly remarkable!"
Those who have experienced Divine Fire burning can be called Eternal Demon Bodies.
It is said that at that level, just with their physical bodies, they can fight against all laws, truly defying heaven.
In this world... it’s unheard of!
And now, the Jiaolong Demon Race actually has one?
Too terrifying.
"My son, you must form a good relationship with this clan. In a few years, their lineage will surely beco the main branch of the Jiaolong Demon Race, and may even beco famous throughout the entire Demon Realm!"
At this mont, Lu Zouzhai also solemnly instructed his son, Luile.
Luile nodded deeply and said, "Don’t worry father, I understand!"
"The Eternal Demon Body... the Third Ancestor has certified an Eternal Demon Body, that’s too defiant of heaven!"
"Our clan will prosper, greatly prosper!"
"This is fantastic, with the Third Ancestor, our clan is simply going to be invincible."
The mbers of the Jiaolong Demon Race were ecstatic.
Long Aotian, too, was filled with surging emotions, his eyes burning with passionate desire.
The Third Ancestor had grown old but still managed to cultivate such a strong body from Refinent Demon Lake; being so young, wouldn’t he defy heaven even more?
He was filled with fight and passion!
"But where has the Third Ancestor gone?"
Soone asked.
"Ahead, this thorny forest... it’s full of Calamity Thorns," another one pointed out.
"Too terrible, who can get through?"
"Even if one is incredibly lucky, I’m afraid it still wouldn’t be possible..."
Looking at the dense thorny forest ahead, everyone felt their scalps tingle.
Just a single Calamity Thorn was already enough to give everyone a huge headache.
Now, though, there was a sea of thorns!
"There... is there a small path? It feels like it was trampled by a giant python!"
Just then, soone suddenly pointed at a spot in the thorny forest.
The crowd hurriedly gathered around.
They saw the thorns here were crushed and scattered about, a path clearly trampled through.
Just like the trail a giant python would leave as it slithers through dense undergrowth.
"Shut up, what giant python? This is the path left by the Third Ancestor!"
At this ti, Long Panyun beca excited, declaring,
"I’ve got it, the third one has forged an Eternal Demon Body and has managed to resist these thorns with his body!"
"He’s shown his Jiaolong true form and trampled his way through here!"
"So strong, truly too strong!"
Once Long Pantian heard this, he also realized that must be the case.
These marks did indeed seem like they were left by sothing like a Jiaolong slithering past.
It must be the third one!
"Excellent, he has left us a path!"
"There must be even greater opportunities deep within this place; the third one was so eager, let’s hurry and catch up!"
Long Pantian called out.
All mbers of the Jiaolong Demon Race were now thrilled.
They imdiately followed this small path and kept moving forward.
...
anwhile.
Wu Dade and Qing Chen, among others, had already crossed the sea of thorns.
"It hurts too much... Ah... It’s itchy!"
Wu Dade wailed.
He rolled from head to toe!
Indeed, there was not a single part of his body left unscathed.
During this process, his flesh was torn apart and healed over and over again...
He had directly completed the third turn of the Nine Turns Golden Body!
At this mont, having made a new breakthrough, he felt as if his whole body had been reborn, experiencing a sensation of itchiness. He looked longingly back at the sea of thorns, even wishing he could roll through it once more.
The main reason was to stop the (#) itch!
After passing through the Sea of Thorns, the land was vast and empty.
This place was like a desert, with white sand covering the ground.
Every grain of sand was as hard as Divine tal.
"What are these...?"
Lu Cailing crouched down in astonishnt and scooped up a handful of sand.
Heavy in her hand, this sand... seed eternally indestructible!
"The peerless divine weapons of the past had all disintegrated, all inscriptions of laws had been broken down, turned into waste material."
The Big Black Dog, looking at the white sand spread on the ground, actually showed a trace of lancholy in its eyes, and said,
"In the final mont... they sacrificed their divine weapons..."
It stepped forward and walked on.
Wu Dade stepped onto the white sand, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity. For a mont, his usual carefree, heartless disposition disappeared, and he felt... sowhat empty inside.
Not far away, dunes began to appear.
White sand dunes.
As if they had been standing quietly here for endless years.
"Have they all died... A dune for each tomb."
The Big Black Dog spoke sorrowfully.
In front of the white sand dunes, there were remnants of divine weapons.
Broken iron clubs, mostly petrified, mixed with rust, stood in front of the tombs, inscribed with ancient characters.
"War Ancestor Changkong... waiting for the World-Honored One to return!"
The characters... were written in blood!
A spearhead, with only the blade part remaining, similarly marked with patches of stone: "Chi Emperor Divine Spear... waiting for the World-Honored One to return!"
A mace, only the last two sections remaining, covered in stone skin, its original material indiscernible:
"Qing Emperor’s Mace... waiting for the World-Honored One to return!"

Wu Dade passed by these dunes one by one, and at that mont, his mind and spirit were deeply shaken!
The inscriptions on the petrified divine weapons were like keys to the ages, opening the great doors of Samsara, transporting him as though he were in a different space and ti!
The sky had fallen, the universe was in ruins, and grey mists surged from the unknown... A nascent universe had developed a flaw!
The entire world was in tears, Strange Spirits pervaded the cosmos, flas flickered as if about to extinguish...
He saw the shadowy figures of supre powerhouses waging war across the universe, where ghastly grey mists had beco an unprecedented, ultimate enemy.
He saw swords shatter, trees of fire extinguished...
Great ancient sovereigns were using their lives to protect an Old Vine...
Chess lines of black and white shot across the sky, then faded into oblivion...
Subli music filled with an air of sorrow played as if it were the universe’s own elegy...
At that mont, Wu Dade felt a haze of confusion, sadness in his heart, he unconsciously clenched his fists, staring at the breach in the cosmos, the source of that eerie grey mist, wishing he could charge into the skies and repress everything...
As ti and space shifted, the thick fog grew denser, the strange grey mist subrged an entire star domain, and a golden, shining oddity repressed the fog.
It was a tree, bristling with thorns of calamity!
It appeared like a wolf fang club, incredibly peculiar, but it had slted every law of the world, radiating myriads of golden light!
The grey mist billowed and finally turned the Thorn Tree grey and ashen, nearly ruining it.
"The World-Honored One sealed the breach in the heavens with his own body... We will guard this place!"
An unrivaled warrior with an iron club looked up to the sky and bellowed; he shattered his divine weapon, using his life as a beacon, he rushed towards that golden Thorn Tree, summoning its vitality!
"Haha... The grey mist of this universe is no longer increasing, the World-Honored One has succeeded, he has triumphantly nded the skies, hahaha... His tree... it cannot perish!"
A peerless emperor laughed, but tears stread down his face; he threw his spear like a cot streaking across the night.
"Split my Divine Mace, burn my soul... If I cannot follow the World-Honored One, I shall burn here!"
A Divine Mace shattered as an unparalleled genius ignited his final fla, illuminating the grey night sky.
Many supre divine weapons disintegrated, burned away... and ultimately, their essence and laws were absorbed by the peculiar Thorn Tree, while the divine weapons dispersed, their supre materials scattering into an eternal spread of white sands.
"World-Honored One... can you return?"
In their final monts, they questioned, asking the ends of the universe.
"We’ve exhausted our efforts to maintain a sliver of life in the lting Gold Tree, even leaving a thread of karma in this world for the World-Honored One... Perhaps soone can invoke his resurgence..."
"Emperor Xiao Huang has gone to find that person. If he can return, can settle the last origin... it will definitely be possible!"
A powerful being declared with resolution, "I really hope... I really hope we could return to the past, to eat and drink heartily with the World-Honored One... Haha, haha..."
"Xiao Huang... you must bring the World-Honored One back, you must bring him back!"
The shouting vibrated across the universe, a final cry of despair.
The play of light and shadow across ti finally ca to a close.
White sands spread vast, lone burial mounds stood silent.
Divine weapons served as steles, etching out the last hope.
"War Ancestor Changkong... waiting for the World-Honored One to return!"
"Chi Emperor Divine Spear... waiting for the World-Honored One to return!"
"Qing Emperor’s Mace... waiting for the World-Honored One to return!"
The people of tis past had fully vanished.
They erected divine weapons here, entrusting their anticipation for the future, letting these tombstones wait for soone...
Wait...
For the World-Honored One!
At this mont, in front of the sandy mound, Wu Dade’s eyes brimd with unbidden tears!
Big Black Dog lifted its paw, wiping away the tear droplet from its nose and said:
"Woof... I’ve brought him back."
Wu Dade also stepped forward, reaching out to gently touch those remaining divine weapons.
The divine weapons had petrified, clearly eroded by the strange grey mist, and as he touched them, wisps of mist drifted off and the divine weapons loudly cracked and shattered.
Eons had passed, and the divine weapons had decayed!
"I have returned..."
He spoke softly.
