is the key artifact that allowed their Shenhai Dynasty to survive to the present day, and also the priceless treasure passed down through generations of their dynasty!When they awoke, they should have..."You…"

Fāngyǔ also wanted to ask the little girl some questions.

Whoosh!

But at that moment, several bolts of frigid magic suddenly struck from behind!

The target...was Fang Yu and the little girl in front of him!

Fang Yu's eyes narrowed, and he flashed forward.

"Ah!"

The little girl screamed in fright.

Fang Yu single-handedly embraced him, raising his right arm and waving it forward.

Several sharp bolts of energy struck his arm, exploding with a series of loud bangs.

However, Fang Yu was unharmed.

He pulled the little girl behind him and looked ahead.

Five figures flashed before him in succession.

Seeing these figures' faces, Fang Yu frowned.

This group of guys, they're all wearing masks.

The mask was simple, seemingly made of some sort of wood, with only two holes for the eyes. Besides that... nothing.

And upon them, they wore cloaks adorned with intricate blue patterns.

Five figures stood within ten meters of Fang Yu.

Their eyeballs were a greenish-blue, as crystalline and translucent as jade pendants.

However, there doesn't seem to be any emotion contained within it.

"Whizz whizz whizz…"

They just landed, their figures vanishing instantly, surrounding Fang Yu and the little girl from five directions.

"Who are you" Fang Yu asked.

Five figures remained silent.

Fang Yu again used his divine sense to scan them, but found nothing.

" More than a second after the little girl spoke, these five figures suddenly burst forth, charging towards Fang Yu in unison.

"Get lost."

Fang Yu stood there, speaking softly.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a pillar of fire shot up from the ground, reaching straight into the sky!

Fang Yu and the little girl were in the center of the fire pillar, surrounded by walls of flames.

"Zzz..."

Those five figures charging in, crashed directly into the wall of fire, and were instantly engulfed.

The intensity of the fire was terrifying.

Five figures let out muffled groans one after another... then were consumed by flames, dissipating into a cloud of black smoke.

The whole process took only a few seconds.

At that moment, calm returned to the surroundings.

The five people in the icy masks were as if they had never existed.

"These guys all come from the same place, haven't you noticed the blue floral patterns on their cloaks" Fang Yu asked.

"No, I don't know…" The little girl was still afraid, shaking her head repeatedly.

Fāngyǔ's brows furrowed.

Things are getting interesting.

It seems that the creatures entering this city... are not limited to him alone.

However, Fang Yu might be the only one who entered here with absolutely no purpose, driven purely by curiosity...

Here comes the bad guys again!

At this point, the little girl suddenly said again.

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he surely sensed several auras approaching.

After a moment's thought, he took the little girl and vanished in a flash.

"Whoosh!"

Both of them vanished into thin air.

After a while, six monks entered the courtyard.

Six cultivators dressed in white robes. Judging by the markings on their necks and faces, they were members of the Celestial Clan, five males and one female.

Among them, the four male monks all looked to be middle-aged, only the female monk appeared extremely young, and there was one other monk who was very old, with white hair and wrinkles all over his face.

They came to the altar, stopping before the bronze statue.

"What is the identity of the owner of this bronze statue"

One of the monks asked.

"This ancient city… was extremely famous in its day, yet it suddenly vanished into the Southern Desolate Desert." The elder looked at the bronze statue before him, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Great-grandfather, do you know who this bronze statue is" the female cultivator asked curiously.

The old man looked at the bronze statue, his eyes flickering constantly, filled with shock and fear, a mixture of complex emotions.

Then, he took a deep breath and replied, "Of course I know. That being was a true legend back then. But that history is probably not well-known anymore."

"Grandfather, stop playing coy!" the female cultivator urged impatiently.

"As you all know, the original name of this ancient city was Yuan Shi Ancient City," the elder said solemnly. "And the identity of this bronze statue before us... is precisely the master of this city, the Yuan Shi Supreme!"

"Primordial Sovereign..."

Hearing this name, the remaining five celestial beings were obviously stunned.

The word "supreme"... on the Yunyun Continent, it's not something you can just use casually!

Only the most elite of warriors are worthy of being called Supreme.

"Grandfather, you said before this was a relic of the human race. That means, this Primordial Sovereign... was also born into the human race" The female cultivator widened her eyes and asked.

"Yes, the Primordial Sovereign... is the most powerful being in human history, one of the few who could reach the level of a Sovereign on the Yunyun Continent." The old man's eyes flickered, replying.

"How could a tenth-rate race like the Human race produce a Supreme-level expert" The female cultivator frowned.

“Back then, humans were different from how they are now. Back then, on the Yunyun Continent, the three races – humans, demons, and gods – coexisted, a completely different situation than today.” The old man took a deep breath and spoke slowly, “And back then, the God Clan held supreme power, looking down upon the Demon Clan and the Human Clan, never bothering to fight them.”

As for the Demon Race, because they had been fighting against the Divine Race for countless years but never gained an advantage, and instead suffered heavy internal strife, they abandoned their war with the Divine Race and turned their attention to the ever-rising Human Race...

Therefore, in that era, the main theme was the confrontation between humans and demons.

At this moment, five cultivators were quietly listening to the elder's narration.

Because of this history, they would normally have no opportunity to hear about it, after all, it is a matter from ancient times.

"As for how powerful the demon race is, you should all be very clear. Even now that they've split into dozens of clans, they still reside within the first and second-tier clans…" The elder said, "Therefore, back then, the human race, when compared in terms of overall strength, was difficult for the demon race to contend with."

Therefore, in the middle of that era, the human race's decline became increasingly apparent, while the demon race grew stronger and stronger, gradually showing a crushing momentum.

At that perilous moment, a Supreme-level powerhouse emerged from the human race, directly changing the course of the battle.

"That Supreme...is he the Primordial Supreme" The female cultivator was already entranced, she said.

The old man nodded and replied, “The Primordial Sovereign appeared out of nowhere, displaying a celestial technique that still terrifies the Demon Race to this day. He completely reversed the situation.”

That immortal technique is called the Yuanshi Demonic Extinction Sutra. rather..." The Mask man lifted his left hand and pressed it against his own face.When he lowered his hand, a black mask appeared on his face, revealing only his eyes."This is my true face." The Mask...
