The groove was only the size of a fist. It was shrouded in moonlight, shimmering faintly, which was what had finally caught Ye Wushuang’s attention.
As Ye Wushuang drew closer, he suddenly felt a surge of pure Moonlight Essence.
He focused his gaze and saw a pendant lying inside.
The pendant was shaped like a moon, but it was broken, with only half remaining. Mysterious, profound markings flowed across its surface, resembling inscriptions.
Ye Wushuang was curious. ’This looks a bit like an Inscription,’ he thought, and reached out to pick it up.
But.
The moment he touched it, Ye Wushuang’s body shuddered, and an unprecedented look of shock appeared on his face!
The markings on the pendant began to flash, and some of the light drilled into Ye Wushuang’s palm!
A terrifying power invaded his blood, draining his vitality and causing his life force to recede and wane.
In that instant, Ye Wushuang reacted with lightning speed, hastily throwing the broken Moon Pendant to the ground.
"What is this thing? It’s terrifying!"
Ye Wushuang’s expression was one of horror. He glanced at the Moon Pendant lying on the ground, then at his own palm. His skin had taken on an aged appearance.
The power continued to run rampant through his body. He immediately activated his Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique, preparing to absorb it.
However, that mysterious power was too bizarre. Even with the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique, it took considerable effort to finally absorb it.
"What exactly is this Moon Pendant? Besides Moon Essence Power, what is that other force?"
Ye Wushuang muttered to himself. He had sensed two powers within the Moon Pendant.
One was the power of Moonlight Essence, and the other was that Forbidden Power.
Just now, when he held the pendant, he had felt his life and his very time slipping away. The vitality in his hand had gradually drained as if he were aging into dust.
That Forbidden Power was stripping away his years and his life, so quickly that not even the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique could stop it in time.
’This thing is terrifying!’
Ye Wushuang was still shaken. If not for his quick reflexes and the heaven-defying nature of his Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique, he feared this small oversight would have cost him his life today!
Letting out a heavy breath, Ye Wushuang prepared to take it back with him to study that power more closely. However, to avoid a repeat of what just happened, he placed the Moon Pendant inside a Jade Box.
He then swept his Divine Sense across the cave one more time. Seeing nothing else of value, he departed.
The few people outside had been waiting nervously.
When they saw Ye Wushuang emerge, Xiaoxiao ran forward.
But at that moment, the unexpected happened once more.
The moon-shaped pendant that Ye Wushuang had stored away suddenly blazed with intense moonlight, and the Forbidden Power erupted from it.
Worried that something was wrong, Ye Wushuang hastily took it out.
The moment he did, the half-pendant generated a powerful shockwave that shattered the Jade Box and shot toward Xiaoxiao.
’Damn it!’
Ye Wushuang’s expression changed drastically. He quickly formed a True Essence Hand and sent it grabbing toward the pendant, trying to stop it.
The pendant seemed to have a will of its own. Its moonlight flared, shining brilliantly and piercing through Ye Wushuang’s True Essence Hand.
SWOOSH!
In an instant, it shot toward Xiaoxiao’s chest.
However, it then transformed into a small silver chain, which settled around Xiaoxiao’s neck, suspending the half-pendant there.
This sudden change happened too fast for even Ye Wushuang to react.
RUMBLE!
At the same time, a formidable and terrifying aura spread from the pendant throughout the Lost Mountain Range, causing countless Demon Beasts to tremble in terror!
RUMBLE!
In that same instant, a pillar of silvery-white light erupted from Lost Village, piercing the Firmament.
"It has appeared. To think it would show up in the world of a bunch of filthy humans!"
Beneath the Firmament, countless figures descended a rainbow-colored Celestial Ladder. Full of innate nobility, they looked down upon the vast, wild earth below.
"Tianyi, that thing is in the Lost Mountain Range!"
A voluptuous and enchanting woman, nestled against the chest of one of the young men, caressed his exposed skin with her delicate hand.
The young man’s gaze, however, was fixed on the distant, sky-piercing pillar of silver light, his eyes gleaming with a divine radiance.
"The Celestial Father said that humans are filthy, lowly monkeys—greedy, selfish, and treacherous. They were given so much, yet they only know how to take, never to give back. They deserve only to be trampled under our feet. This time, we can descend and obliterate these filthy monkeys without a second thought."
Tianyi’s gaze was cold and merciless, filled with an intense, overbearing sense of nobility.
"Heh heh, now this will be fun. I love hunting ’monkeys’!"
A young man bathed in crimson flames cracked his neck, producing a series of sharp pops. A bloodthirsty smile touched the corners of his eyes.
"That’s right. My clothes are all ruined. I hear the skin of those ’monkeys’ is quite nice, rather soft. I’d like to have a set for myself."
The enchanting woman cooed, tilting her head back slightly to gaze at Tianyi’s face.
"Tian Mei, don’t you worry. Once we find the ’monkeys,’ I’ll pick out the very best hide for you."
The fiery young man laughed. Their words were filled with utter contempt for humanity, a complete trampling of dignity!
This fiery young man was named Tianyang.
A genius from the Celestial Dome!
Besides him, Tianyi and Tian Mei also hailed from the Celestial Dome—the high heavens, the heavens that looked down upon all living things!
The group roared with laughter. As they spoke, they descended upon the skies above Lost Village, looking down at the bewildered and helpless villagers below.
"Dad! Mom!"
A group of children, seeing the figures in the Firmament above, burrowed fearfully into their parents’ arms.
The villagers also gazed up at the sky, filled with dread.
The aura of the newcomers was too powerful, so strong that it nearly forced them to their knees.
The old village chief, leaning on his cane, stared grimly at the sky and uttered two words: "Celestial Dome!"
"So, it’s just a group of weak ’monkeys’!"
Tianyang looked down from his lofty position and barked, "Kneel!"
The imperious command boomed from Tianyang’s lips, carrying an irrefutable will. A group of filthy, weak ’monkeys’ only deserved to kneel and gaze up at them. Standing was a privilege they did not have!
RUMBLE!
As his voice fell, a vast pressure crushed down upon all the villagers.
THUD!
THUD!
The villagers were instantly forced to their knees, causing the children to burst into tears.
In the sky, the others watched with their arms crossed, their faces devoid of emotion, showing only endless disdain!
"Oh? There’s one strong ’monkey’ left!"
Tianyang had noticed that one old man had not kneeled. It was the old village chief!
"Just kill him,"
one of the youths said nonchalantly, spitting out the three words.
"No rush. An interesting ’monkey’ like this... I want to play with him for a bit."
Tianyang sneered, staring at the old village chief. "Lowly ’monkey,’ kneel, and I will spare your life. What do you say?"
"This old man is old. My old bones can’t move anymore. I cannot kneel."
The old village chief spoke with a tone of helplessness. Facing these experts who were at or above the Profound Level, he could not resist. He could only watch as his fellow villagers knelt without a shred of dignity. It was the greatest of sorrows!
"Can’t move, is it?"
Tianyang’s gaze shifted to a child. A jet of fire shot out, forming a Flame Sword that streaked through the air to kill.
Seeing this, the old village chief slammed his cane on the ground. Countless runes flew out, preparing to block Tianyang’s attack!
"You’ve got a few tricks, do you!"
Another one of the youths suddenly made a move, swatting the runes out of the air with a single hand!
RUMBLE!
He blocked the runes.
AH!
In that same instant, the Flame Sword pierced the child’s body, incinerating the boy!
"My son..."
A heart-rending cry escaped from a couple who had just watched their child die a horrible death. Their hearts felt as if they were being twisted by knives. There is no greater pain, nothing more agonizing!
But they were not strong enough. They could do nothing!
