Peerless God Emperor

In front of the palace stood a white-robed, middle-aged man with long black hair that cascaded down to the back of his head. His eyes were especially deep and deep, like a black hole.    

Duan Chengtian arrived behind the middle-aged man and lightly called out, "Father."    

So this middle-aged man was the current leader of the Duan Clan, Duan Chengtian's father, Duan Zhu. He was a Peak Seventh Order Saint.    

Duan Zhu's gaze descended onto Duan Chengtian, and a warm smile appeared on his face as he smiled and said, "I heard that Qin Xuan brought a few people over. Is this true?"    

"It is true." Duan Ling Tian lightly nodded and replied, "The reason he came here is because he is grateful for our help in the Middle Sky. The second reason is because he asked if there is any cultivation place worth going to in the Eastern Lands."    

"Oh?" Duan Zhu's face revealed a trace of surprise, then he asked, "What did you say?"    

"I told him about the cave and its dangers. I advised him to give up and go somewhere else." Duan Ling Tian truthfully said.    

"The Devil's Cave." Duan Zhu muttered to himself. His pitch-black eyes revealed an unfathomable meaning, as it was unknown what he was thinking about.    

"Father, what exactly is inside the Devil's Cave?" The Duan Clan had already been in the Asura Hell for several hundred thousand years and had always stayed in the Eastern Lands. With the Duan Clan's background, it shouldn't be possible for them to be completely clueless about the Devil Nest.    

"Maybe it's time to tell you something."    

Duan Zhu slowly spoke, causing Duan Chengtian's heart to tremble. Could it be that his father really knew the secrets of the Devil's Cavern?    

"Our Duan Clan was originally a citizen of the God Realm, and our ancestors were one of the top Empyreans of the God Realm. After the great ancient war broke out, our ancestors sacrificed their lives to suppress the evil races of the alien realms, and we also migrated to the Eastern Profound Continent to seek shelter."    

This was the history of the Duan Clan. As Young Master, he was naturally extremely clear of the Duan Clan's history.    

The reason the Duan Clan possessed their current background and was able to become the overlord of the Eastern Region of Asura Hell was because the Duan Clan was extremely glorious in the past, and was the descendant of a formidable Empyrean.    

Of course, only the core members of the Duan Clan knew of this history, and ordinary clan members didn't know of it, so they were naturally afraid that the news would leak out and cause unnecessary trouble.    

"But what does this have to do with the Devil's Cave?" Duan Ling Tian was still puzzled as he asked. The words his father said earlier didn't mention anything about the Devil's Cave.    

"Of course it does."    

Duan Zhu took a deep breath and was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "The Devil's Cave is the place where our ancestor perished!"    

As the sound of his voice faded, it was as though a bolt of lightning flashed through Duan Ling Tian's mind. His countenance froze, as though he had heard of something extremely shocking.    

Mo Ke was the place where the ancestor died!    

"Is this true?" Duan Chengtian confirmed once more as his heart violently trembled.    

The place where their ancestor had perished was actually so close to them?    

"It's true." Duan Zhu's expression was serious as he nodded and continued, "In the past, the Ancestor summoned a person before his death. He will use his body to suppress the evil spirits, and after his death, he will send people to guard the land of his fall and not allow others to enter. Only when the right time comes can they enter."    

"And the person the Ancestor summoned is the first Patriarch of the Duan Clan."    

Accompanying the end of Duan Zhu's speech, Duan Ling Tian felt his mind go blank as his thoughts seemed to have stopped moving. This piece of news was too shocking to him, and he wasn't prepared in advance. For a moment, he was unable to accept it.    

The reason the Duan Clan stayed in the Eastern Lands was to protect the place where their ancestor had perished.    

No wonder so many people went into the Devil's Cave and did not come out. This was the place where the ancestors fought with the evil races from outside the borders.    

In the eyes of the gods, even the strongest Saint was no different from an ant.    

"The people who entered the Devil Nest before were all filled with greed and desire. They went into the Devil Nest on their own, going against the will of their ancestors, but none of them came out alive in the end." Duan Zhu sighed. His tone revealed a trace of regret.    

Duan Ling Tian's heart slightly trembled. Is this the truth of the matter?    

He had always thought that the clan leader had sent his clansmen in to investigate the situation, but it turned out to be a different story. He had always thought that the clan leader had sent his clansmen to investigate the situation, but it turned out to be a different story.    

Since those people knew the secrets of the Devil's Lair, it could be seen how high their status in the Duan Clan was. However, they didn't die in the hands of the enemy in the end, and instead died due to their own desire.    

"What exactly is inside the Devil's nest?" To be able to force his clansmen into the Devil Nest despite the dangers, he guessed that there must be an extremely valuable item inside. Moreover, it was extremely likely that it was related to the ancestor.    

"I don't know either, maybe only the first clan leader knows what's inside, but in order to prevent the younger generations from going into the Devil's Cave, he hid it and told them that this is the place where their ancestor died. They cannot enter until the right time." Duan Zhu replied.    

Unfortunately, even though the ancestor thought about this, there were still people among the younger generation who couldn't control their desire. After all, there must be a great opportunity for the ancestor to be buried.    

"Then when is the time coming?" Duan Ling Tian asked again.    

"I don't know." Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he smiled bitterly. So many years had passed, but who knew when the time would come?    

"This …" Duan Ling Tian instantly felt a trace of helplessness in his heart. In that case, wouldn't they have no choice but to continue waiting until their deaths?    

This was way too tragic.    

"However, I feel that the time has come." Duan Zhu suddenly opened his mouth and spoke, causing Duan Chengtian's gaze to freeze on the spot. He couldn't help but ask, "Father, why do you think so?"    

Ever since the Duan Clan guarded the eastern region, in the last several hundred thousand years, there has never been a situation like this in the Asura Infernal Realm. In less than a year, a top power stood on the ground of the Asura Infernal Realm, and their leader is only a figure in the Emperor Realm.    

"Not only that, the Eye of God was opened not long ago. Many heaven's pride level experts obtained the inheritance of the God. This has never happened before. All of this seems to be hinting at something."    

Duan Zhu's eyes flickered with a dazzling light as he said in an incomparably heavy tone, "Golden Age has arrived!"    

"Golden Age has arrived!" Duan Ling Tian's heart raced, and at this moment, scenes flashed swiftly within his mind. Everything that happened in recent days was indeed earth-shattering. He had never heard of it before, and it confirmed what his father said earlier.    

The golden age had arrived.    

Duan Zhu's gaze was fixated on Duan Chengtian as he spoke. "I have a faint premonition, Qin Xuan might be the one leading this flourishing world. His arrival at the Asura Hell is the sign that the flourishing world will begin!"    

The expression on Duan Chengtian's face changed once more, and great waves of shock raged within his heart.    

Qin Xuan was the leader?    

"Think about it carefully, ever since Qin Xuan arrived, how many major events happened in the Asura Hell. Even in the Middle Sky, he is still the most dazzling existence. With a phagocytic crystal, he received an Empyrean level inheritance, and he also has a group of talented people by his side. Duan Zhu said.    

Duan Chengtian remained silent, seeming to agree with what Duan Zhu said.    

Qin Xuan's outstanding performance was obvious to all. Even if he was ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking, if they were to fight, he might not be Qin Xuan's match.    

On that day, Qin Xuan had used the body of an Emperor to break through Cang Qin's Divine Arts. Even if it was a Saint who was in the same realm as him, it would be difficult for him to do this.    

"Right now, Qin Xuan has come uninvited. Perhaps this is the time that our ancestor said has come. He will unravel the secret of the Devil's Cave for us." Duan Zhu said.    

"However, this is just father's speculation and is not based on any facts. The Devil's Cave is very dangerous. If we enter it recklessly, if the timing is wrong, we would be killed." He felt that this method was too risky. Once there was a mishap, the people that went in wouldn't be able to come out.    

"Even so, a lucky chance always comes with a risk. I believe that this is a very likely opportunity. If I miss it, I don't know when I'll be able to find it again." Duan Zhu said with a serious expression, as if he completely believed in his own judgement.    

Even though he knew there was danger, as long as he saw hope, he did not want to miss it. Moreover, he firmly believed that Qin Xuan had great luck on him, and now that he came to the Duan Clan, it was fated to happen.    

Duan Ling Tian's gaze revealed a pondering expression as if he was slightly swayed by his words. After a moment, he looked at Duan Zhu and asked, "Then, Father, what is your plan?"    

"Tell Qin Xuan about this first and see if he is willing to take the risk. If he is willing, then I will arrange the rest of the matters." This matter was no small matter. Even though he wanted to take a risk and give it a try, he would not rashly take action.    

After all, Qin Xuan had an extraordinary status and a level eight character guarding him. If anything happened to Qin Xuan in the Duan Clan, that existence would probably rush over to kill him. Even the Duan Clan didn't want to face such a powerful opponent.    

"Should I tell him everything about my ancestor?" Duan Ling Tian suddenly asked.    

"Of course we have to tell him. Let him judge for himself whether or not we should help. Otherwise, when he becomes wary of us, our friendship will be ruined." Duan Zhu said.    

"Father's words make sense." Duan Ling Tian nodded, then he turned around and left the Audience Hall in large strides.    

Duan Zhu's heart became slightly restless as he watched Duan Ling Tian's figure leave, and his eyes revealed a slightly scorching gaze. He had a strong premonition that this time, the secret of the Devil's Lair might be unraveled!
