With that, the silver serpent beamed with joy at first, but it quickly became gloomy again.
He admitted that Wang Yan was very powerful right now, having reached the apex of the entire Starsource Continent. He was only a few steps away from the apex.
However, it would be a fool's dream if he wanted to fend off the Skyroad sect with just that.
The three of them had cultivated for almost a thousand years, so they knew a lot about the secrets and past events of the Starsource Continent.
It was exactly because of that that the terror of the Skyroad sect weighed down on their chests like a boulder. They felt suffocated every time they thought about it.
Could Wang Yan topple such a terrifying existence all by himself?
The answer was a definite no!
"Sir, it's not that we don't have confidence, but that terrifying existence is not something we can fend off, unless …"
At this point, the Silver Flood Dragon suddenly stopped, and a bitter smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.
Wang Yan could not help but frown when he saw that. "Senior Silver Serpent, you-"
"Sir, you can't refer to me like that. We're just regular magical beasts who have cultivated for a thousand years. You're putting me down by calling me senior."
Wang Yan smiled helplessly. "If that's the case, I'll cut to the chase. Silver Serpent, did you have something you wanted to say earlier?"
The silver serpent nodded with that. "I did have something to say, but it's fine if I don't mention it because it's impossible."
Wang Yan raised an eyebrow. "Oh?
What do you mean? "
The silver serpent sighed gloomily. He glanced at the Mad Lion and the Greedy Wolf. Only when he saw how they did not react did he look at Wang Yan. "Sir, have you heard of the Sky-devouring clan?"
The Sky-devouring clan?
Wang Yan was slightly surprised. He shook his head.
He had only heard of the Sky Burial clan. They were a terrifying clan that struck fear into the three thousand major worlds. They had once made countless gods and countless ways tremble.
As for the Sky-devouring clan, they had an extremely brutal name, but they were unknown on the Starsource Continent. There had never been any information about them.
"The Sky-devouring clan is the only royal clan of us magical beasts in this parallel miniature world!"
"They are the descendants of the Primordial Heaven Devouring Dragon, but the bloodline in their bodies is already extremely thin. They are unable to reproduce the divine might of the Primordial Heaven Devouring Dragon."
"Even with that being the case, the bloodline of the Heaven-devouring Dragon remains powerful even after being passed down to this day. At the very least, all the royal clans of the magical beasts in the miniature world of the Starsource Continent have to listen to it."
After speaking, the Silver Flood Dragon's gaze suddenly became misty, as if it had sunk into a long period of memories, and it no longer spoke.
Wang Yan's gaze swept over and discovered that Mad Lion and Greedy Wolf were the same.
With a thought, Zhang Xuan fell silent and waited patiently.
After the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, the Silver Flood Dragon suddenly sighed and looked at the black cloud with a complicated expression.
However, this scene did not last for long. Very soon, the previous pious and fanatical worship was restored.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, there was an earth-shattering war. In that war, who knows how many all-powerful Almighty Venerables died."
"We don't know the specifics either, because it was too long ago, and we weren't even born yet at that time. We only learned a bit from the words of the two seniors in the Sunset Mountain Range and the Dense Forest Mountain Range."
With that, the Silver Flood Dragon lifted up his cup and took a sip of fruit wine as he explained slowly.
As it turned out, it was just like what Tian Jizi had said. There had once been an earth-shaking, devastating battle.
The people who took part in the battle were split into two factions. One was the Skyroad sect that claimed to be the embodiment of the heavenly ways, and the various leaders who supported them.
The other faction was referred to as the heaven-defying people by the Skyroad sect. They were the experts who dared to resist the Skyroad sect and wanted to escape the cage of the Starsource Continent.
The Sky-devouring clan had taken part in the battle as well, but for some reason, they changed sides in the end, leading to the annihilation of the entire faction.
It was exactly at that time that the two great daemons in the Sunset Mountains and the Jungle Mountains took a portion of their members with them, leaving the Sky-devouring clan and no longer listening to their orders.
Strangely enough, ever since then, the Sky-devouring clan faded out of the sight of the entire magical beast race. They went into seclusion and no one knew where they were.
It was said that the Sky-devouring clan had once experienced great internal strife, which heavily injured the entire clan. They were unable to recover from the setback and split up.
It was exactly because of that that the Sky-devouring clan did not eliminate the two great daemons in the Sunset Mountains and the Jungle Mountains.
Wang Yan felt something when he heard that. He suddenly thought of something, but he could not remember what it was.
At this moment, the silver serpent said, "As a result, we need to work with the Sky-devouring clan to stand a chance against the Skyroad sect. Otherwise … it'll be difficult, it'll be even more difficult than ascending to the heavens!"
Wang Yan furrowed his brows as he looked at the gloomy trio. A while later, he thought of something, "How many magical beasts are there that don't listen to the Sky-devouring clan right now?"
"According to what I know, there are only a few hundred million of them that don't listen to the Sky-devouring clan, and their strength varies. It'll be difficult for them to do anything …"
Wang Yan immediately felt helpless when he heard that.
The Skyroad sect could be described as the greatest organisation on the Starsource Continent. Apart from the heavenly ways, it stood above everything else.
If they wanted to fight against such a terrifying existence, they needed to work with even more powerful helpers.
The Sky-devouring clan was indeed the best choice, but they could not work with them.
After a while of thought, Wang Yan asked reluctantly, "Is there any way to contact the Sky-devouring clan?"
The silver serpent shook its head. "Soon after the great battle, the Sky-devouring clan went into seclusion. No one knows where they went. At the very least, we don't know how to contact them."
Wang Yan sighed helplessly when he heard that.
However, at this moment, Tan Lang said gloomily, "If you really want to find the Sky-devouring clan, you can go to the Central Continent and find out."
Wang Yan rejoiced inside, "Why do you say that?"
Tan Lang glanced at the silver serpent first, and the serpent nodded slightly. Only then did he say, "That's because apart from the two seniors in the Sunset Mountains and the jungle, there's only one other powerful daemon on the entire Starsource Continent."
"But … but this daemon is extremely mysterious. His movements are erratic, and he basically has no fixed location. All we know is that his name is Qing Huo."
"Just like the two seniors in the Sunset Mountains and the Jungle Mountains, he has existed since ancient times. His strength is unfathomable."
With that, Tan Lang sighed gently. "If you want to find the Sky-devouring clan, you'll probably have to find out from sir Qing Huo."
Wang Yan nodded in understanding. After a while of thought, he immediately stood up. At the same time, he extended his hand and the black cloud landed on his shoulder.
"If that's the case, we'll part ways here."
With that, he took a step, and ripples immediately appeared in space.
Just as Wang Yan was about to fuse with space and vanish, the silver serpent suddenly called out, "Please wait, sir!"
Immediately, Wang Yan pulled back his foot. He turned around, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
