Chapter 1246: The Land of Exile

"Roar!"

A sky-shaking dragon's roar sounded, and the Ancestor's expression changed drastically!

In an instant, the Ancestor recognized the origin of Ye Yuan's martial skill, and his heart was shaken beyond measure.

But there was no time for astonishment now; if the Dragon God's Sound fell upon him, his old bones would not even leave ashes behind.

To Ye Yuan's surprise, the Ancestor did not collapse helplessly like the others.

After the shock, the Ancestor reacted extremely quickly.

A terrifying fluctuation emanated from his body!

This fluctuation actually isolated the Dragon God's Sound.

"This... this is the Dragon God's Sound! How can he know the Dragon God's Sound? Impossible!" Ao Li exclaimed.

To the dragon clan, the prestige of the Dragon God's Sound was unparalleled through the ages.

Although this martial skill was lost, almost every dragon knew its power!

"Hasn't the Dragon God's Sound been lost for ages? Why does a human know the supreme martial skill of our dragon clan?"

"Incredible! When he used the Divine-level Coiling Dragon Heaven-Shattering Palm earlier, it startled me. Now he even brings out the Dragon God's Sound."

"Is he really human? I even suspect he is one of our dragon clan. Who can tell me what is going on?"

...

The sudden appearance of a lost martial skill was understandably shocking to the dragon clan.

Not only the dragons, but the elders of the other three clans were also stunned.

As fellow Four Symbols families, they naturally knew of the renowned Dragon God's Sound.

They never expected this martial skill to appear in a human.

One breath, two breaths!

Seeing that he could not break through the Ancestor's defense, Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and pushed toward three breaths!

Just then, a faint sigh came from within the cave.

Ye Yuan's heart trembled violently, his breath was interrupted, and the Dragon God's Sound ceased abruptly.

"Yuan Ge!"

Two breaths had passed; Ye Yuan's body had nearly reached its limit and could no longer hold on. Li'er quickly went to support him.

"Pfft!"

The Ancestor's face turned pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

In the end, he still could not fully withstand the impact of the Dragon God's Sound!

"Ancestor! Are you alright?" Ao Li and the others cried out in alarm when they saw the Ancestor spit blood.

The Ancestor waved his hand, but looked at Ye Yuan with deep meaning and said, "I understand! Ha... haha, these old eyes of mine have truly been blind! Jun'er, you finally want to see him."

The last sentence was spoken toward the cave.

"Ancestor, let him come in."

From within the cave, a woman's voice drifted out faintly.

Ao Li's expression stiffened; he had never known that besides the Ancestor, there was another person in the cave!

Hearing this voice, Ye Yuan felt as if struck by lightning.

Though it was an utterly unfamiliar voice, it sounded so dear to him.

"Enough, go in! But only you alone may enter." The Ancestor said indifferently.

Ye Yuan nodded, struggled to his feet, and staggered into the cave.

"Ancestor, the one inside is..." Ao Li couldn't help asking.

"Ao Jun!" The Ancestor did not hide it and directly spoke a name.

Ao Li's expression changed, "Dragon Maiden Ao Jun! She... wasn't she long dead?"

If one were to ask who was the most talented member of the Divine Beast Domain in the past hundred thousand years, it would not be Ao Li, but Dragon Maiden Ao Jun!

Ao Jun took only a thousand years to reach the Ninth Stage Great Perfection and comprehend the laws of the divine path.

Her strength far exceeded his current level.

Unfortunately, unwilling to be confined by the Divine Beast Domain, eight hundred years ago she escaped into the Godfall Mountain Range.

Since then, no one in the Divine Beast Domain had seen her again.

It was also after that that the Ancestor began to personally guide Ao Li, training him to his current realm.

Unexpectedly, she had been in the Ancestor's secluded cave all along!

The Ancestor sighed, "It's a long story! But seeing her son so accomplished, she must be very gratified, right?"

"S-son?" The clan members were bewildered.

"Indeed, Ye Yuan is Ao Jun's son, the son of her and a human." The Ancestor said slowly.

Li'er and Bai Guang exchanged glances, seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.

They never expected Ye Yuan to have such a background.

No wonder Ye Yuan had acted so strangely after entering here.

Then the Ancestor looked at Bai Guang and said kindly, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Bai Yu's descendant, right? You carry her aura. Perfect White Tiger Body, not bad! Very good! Hmph, the diversionary tactic those two played back then was truly brilliant; even I was fooled! But I never expected that their descendants would both break the curse at the same time. How ironic!"

At the end, the Ancestor laughed bitterly.

Bai Guang shuddered as if electrocuted.

"An... Ancestor, what do you mean by that?" Bai Guang swallowed and asked.

The Ancestor simply sat down on the ground and began to speak of the secrets of the Divine Beast Domain.

Bai Guang was deeply shaken by the Ancestor's words.

So this place was a land of exile!

The demons here were all banished here for serious crimes, never to return to the Divine Domain!

This space was jointly created by the four divine beast progenitors, who laid a curse upon it with terrible secret arts.

Any felon exiled here, once leaving this area, would have their life force drain rapidly until death!

Moreover, their descendants could not leave this space either!

This was a terrible curse—once one was exiled here for an unforgivable offense, their descendants would never see the light of day for eternity!

Though the scenery here was beautiful and pleasant, it was actually a huge prison!

According to the Ancestor, throughout history, countless clan members had tried to escape this cage.

But once they left, they aged quickly and died.

Even divine realm experts were no exception!

And the Ancestor was the last divine realm expert here.

Of course, the four progenitors did not completely cut off all hope; they left a glimmer of possibility.

If anyone in the Divine Beast Domain broke through to the Guixu Divine Realm, or gave birth to a Perfect Divine Beast Body or higher spiritual body, the curse would automatically be lifted.

Back then, Ao Jun and Bai Yu were the best of sisters, and they jointly staged a brilliant diversionary tactic.

One escaped from the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain to the Boundless Border, the other to the Godfall Mountain Range.

At that time, the Ancestor was greatly enraged and laid down that peach blossom forest.

But he never expected that among Bai Yu's descendants, a Perfect White Tiger Body would appear.

And Ao Jun's son possessed the legendary Ancestral Dragon Soul!
