On this day, the Evil Punishment Main God and the God of Slaughter, who had just become a Main God, also arrived.

The Evil Punishment Main God felt a sense of relief upon seeing his son’s remarkable progress. Of course, what truly comforted him most was Wu Fa’s growth. Wu Fa was no longer the cavalier young man he used to be; his heart had found its anchor.

After the God of Slaughter’s ascension to Main God, a cataclysmic battle would likely have erupted in Evil Valley if it had been anyone else, as everyone would have vied for supremacy. But that wouldn’t happen now. The God of Slaughter had no intention of contesting the Evil Punishment Main God for the seat of power, especially given their already strong relationship. Because of Ye Fan, they would all pledge their loyalty to him in the future.

The God of Slaughter laughed heartily at Ye Fan. "I heard from that old guy that you went on a rampage in the Martial Arts Arena and ran circles around the Martial Artists of the Evil God lineage."

"Excellent! You are truly worthy of my loyalty."

He was overjoyed! Ye Fan truly possesses an invincible aura.

At that moment, Ye Fan said, "You’re too modest, Senior Brother. By the way, where do you plan to go next?"

"To Evil Valley, of course," the God of Slaughter replied.

As far as Ye Fan was concerned, Evil Valley probably couldn’t accommodate the God of Slaughter anymore, but he was still heading there.

He asked the God of Slaughter, "You’re not going to the Outer Realm? It’s unowned land, after all!"

The God of Slaughter nearly collapsed onto the ground. That was a terrifying suggestion. The Outer Realm had always been unowned, a direct result of the Outer Domain Main God’s tragedy. No one dared to make a move on the Outer Realm unless they were seeking their own death.

It was widely known that the Outer Domain Main God, in his time, was on par with the Ancestor of Tianyuan. No, he was even more terrifying; they simply hadn’t existed in the same era. The Ancestor of Tianyuan came later, but the Outer Domain Main God’s power was not something just anyone could match. Since even he met with such a disaster, who would dare harbor any designs on that place?

The God of Slaughter exclaimed, "Junior Brother, are you trying to trap me or harm me? That place is ownerless! Who dares to provoke it? It’s the most dangerous place in the entire Divine Domain!"

Then, Ye Fan finally remembered. He explained, "That place is the sealing ground for the Outer Realm Evil Clan!"

"What is the Outer Realm Evil Clan?" the other Main Gods asked, looking at him with curiosity.

Ye Fan sighed helplessly. They really don’t know much, do they?

He continued, "The Outer Realm Evil Clan is terrifying. I’ve been to the Outer Realm, and I know that the Outer Domain Main God was slain by them! They are incredibly powerful and exude a horrifying aura. No one is their match. Even a Main God would become a mere puppet if tainted by it!"

"Although I don’t know the full extent of the situation in the Outer Realm, I am certain that even more powerful members of the Outer Realm Evil Clan are still there!" Ye Fan stated emphatically.

The others were shocked. They had never heard of the Outer Realm Evil Clan before. Could the catastrophe of the Ancient Times have been wrought by them? In that era, even Main Gods were as insignificant as ants, utterly weak. If this were true, then their days were numbered.

Ye Fan then said, "The Evil Venerable who killed the Outer Domain Main God back then is hidden within the Tai Chu Ancient Mine in the Outer Realm. I battled him and know firsthand how terrifying they are! Before he died, he said that one day, the Evil Clan will descend upon this Barbaric Land!"

Hearing this, it was impossible for the Main Gods not to feel a sense of dread. For them, this was a boundless disaster. The Divine Domain might be formidable, but compared to the myriad other planes, it was indeed a Barbaric Land.

"Wait a minute! Junior Brother, you were able to kill him?" The group was skeptical, which was understandable. After all, this was a being capable of slaying the Outer Domain Main God!

Ye Fan said, "His strength was far from its peak, and on top of that, he was countered by me, so I was able to kill him. That horrifying aura, capable of eroding everything, is a catastrophe for all of you. But I can nullify it!"

The others looked at him with admiration. Although Ye Fan’s current strength was low, he had already developed an invincible demeanor, earning their respect.

Ye Fan continued, "However, there’s no need to be overly afraid. Although the Evil Clan has Ancestor Realm experts, they also have natural enemies who are currently slaughtering them! The members of the Evil Clan who descended into this world are merely fugitives fleeing their predators, eking out a meager existence here!"

This revelation shocked them. Beings who surpassed the Ancestor Realm were still being hunted down? Just how terrifying were the ones hunting the Outer Realm Evil Clan?

"Moreover," Ye Fan added, "I’ve heard about the ones hunting them. I believe they’re called the Holy Clan!"

The crowd drew in a sharp breath. They had no idea how powerful the Holy Clan was, but it was clear that the Outer Realm Evil Clan alone was already a massive headache.

"Junior Brother, do you perhaps possess a Divine Artifact?" they asked. Ye Fan’s ability to counter an Evil Venerable suggested something extraordinary was at play. They assumed he must have some kind of Divine Artifact.

Ye Fan replied, "It’s embarrassing to say, but have you ever heard of the Divine Talisman?"

"The Divine Talisman?" the Evil Punishment Main God interjected. "Isn’t that the strongest Divine Artifact in the Divine Domain? It’s never appeared before. Legend says that whoever obtains the Divine Talisman can control everything and rule the world. Not only are the Evil Gods searching for it, but we Righteous Gods and even the Demon Clan have been searching for it all along!"

The Divine Talisman was indeed terrifying, to a chilling degree.

"But what does that have to do with anything?" the God of Slaughter asked.

Ye Fan explained, "The Divine Talisman is actually a Crystal Stone, and it’s already embedded within my body. I can’t remove it. Whenever I encounter a Martial Artist of the Evil Venerable’s level, the Divine Talisman glows and shatters them. The Divine Talisman is their ultimate nemesis!"

The Main Gods were deeply moved. It seemed Ye Fan’s rise to kingship was inevitable. The Divine Talisman was no simple artifact, and for such a powerful object to have fused with him meant he was destined to be the ruler of this era. There was no doubt about it.

Ye Fan sighed with frustration. "They see me as a descendant of the Holy Clan, and there’s nothing I can do about it! I don’t have a shred of connection to the Holy Clan! If I could, I wouldn’t want any of these identities. I just want to be an ordinary Martial Artist."

The others looked at him with utter disdain. A bloodline that surpasses the Ancestor Realm, the Divine Talisman, and the Yuanhong Sword... This guy is armed to the teeth and still wants to be an ordinary Martial Artist?

They just wanted to tell him, "Come on, give all that stuff to us! You may not want to be a king, but we do!"

Comparisons are truly odious. What kind of person is he? If we could, we’d love to beat him up and teach him the cruel price of showing off like this!

"Perhaps you truly are a descendant of the Holy Clan!" the Red Sand Main God, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.

The others turned their gaze to him, unsure of what he meant.

The Red Sand Main God elaborated, "First, the Divine Talisman has fused with you. It must be an artifact of the Holy Clan!

"For it to merge with you, you must possess the Holy Clan’s bloodline. Moreover, as they’ve all said, your dominant bloodline isn’t merely of the Ancestor Realm—it surpasses it.

"The Outer Realm Evil Clan has Ancestor Realm experts, yet they are still being hunted by the Holy Clan. If the Holy Clan’s bloodline wasn’t powerful enough, would they dare to hunt the Evil Clan?

"That’s impossible. All signs indicate that you may very well be a descendant of the Holy Clan!"

The others nodded in firm agreement. The Red Sand Main God’s analysis was spot on; it was the most persuasive explanation.
