Chapter 55: The Mausoleum of the Demon Emperor
Several elders of the Lingxu Cave Heaven took action against Pang Bo. One of the old men's body burst out a red glow, transforming into a crimson large net. The net threads were crystal clear and sparkling with bright red light, as if it was forged from red agate. It moved towards Pang Bo to envelop him.
At this moment, Pang Bo was deathly still, his face wooden, only his eyes gleaming with green light. He stretched out his hands, as if supporting the heavens, and pushed upwards, wanting to tear open the red net.
Another elder's body burst out with a purple glow, and a purple gold eight trigrams mirror appeared in his hand. He flipped it towards Pang Bo, and the purple mist shot out, shining brightly. The dazzling purple light instantly enveloped Pang Bo, fixing him in place, as a hazy purple aura swirled around him.
Brush
A large red net fell smoothly, wrapping Pong Bo inside and tying him up tightly. At this time, Wu Qingfeng stepped forward, his finger pointing like a sword, shining brightly, using his divine power to seal Pong Bo, making it difficult for him to move even a little bit.
Ye Fan's greatest concern was Pang Bo. Seeing several elders take him down, and that old man being very calm, finally even revealing a hint of a smile, instantly made him let out a sigh of relief, thinking there wouldn't be any major issues.
"Bang"
A dull sound came from the volcano again, this time Ye Fan was well-prepared, operating the Xuan method recorded in the Taoist scriptures. The golden light point in the sea of suffering suddenly overflowed with a hint of divine splendor, flowing towards his heart, making him feel much better instantly, unlike the previous few times which were unbearably painful.
Ye Fan observed carefully and found that those super fierce beasts were all involuntarily trembling, while the dozen or so elders of Ling Xuan Cave Heaven also stiffened their bodies, all affected. This made him quite surprised, after eating the sacred fruit and drinking the divine spring water, he had indeed undergone a transformation, not to mention his cultivation or the wheel of life and the sea of suffering, but just in terms of his current physical body, he didn't seem to be much inferior to these elders.
"Bang", "bang", "bang"
Again, three muffled sounds rang out in quick succession, and the volcanic mouth was turbulent with magma. Wave after wave of intense light shot up into the sky, turning night into day.
At this moment, the magma surged out of the volcanic mouth, and the radiant ancient temple directly floated up, emitting a strong life aura.
On the volcano, the master of Ling Xu Dong Tian and four Taishang elders all radiated light from their bodies, slowly advancing forward. On the other side, several giant demons transformed into human form also stepped forward, fearless of the rushing magma, their eyes fixed on the ancient temple until they reached the mouth of the volcano, then shifted to a few human cultivators.
Among them, the big man with scales on his arms rushed to the palm of Lingxu Dongtian and shouted: "You humans are too much, the primitive ruins were divided into two, you already have Lingxu Dongtian, now come to our site to compete for Xian Cang, do you want to provoke a dispute?"
Not far away, the giant who was three meters tall and had a pair of bull horns on his head also let out a thick voice, shouting: "If you want to start a war, just try staining your hands with this ancient temple!"
The leader of the Ling Xiu Cave Heaven and the four Supreme Elders did not show any fear. One of them stepped forward and said, "This piece of ruins was left behind by my people. Now that the treasure has appeared, we have come to seek an opportunity, which is reasonable and justifiable. What's wrong with that?"
"This primeval ruin is our home, and naturally you are not allowed to come here to steal the treasure!" The girl with no arms, a pair of wings growing from her back, and golden long hair shouted coldly: "If you insist on meddling, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"This is the ruins of our clan, you are just temporary residents, how can you occupy this place?" The master of Ling Xu Dong Tian was not afraid, his words were calm, but they emitted a deterrent aura.
"My Jiao tribe ancestors have a testament, this place is not the ancestral land of your human tribe at all, but the imperial capital of the demon tribe in its heyday. Everything here has nothing to do with you." That old Jiao with a single horn on his head and sharp claws on his abdomen, although he had not transformed into a human figure, could speak human language, and his strength was no weaker than that of others, but he was just not good at transforming his beastly body.
"It's impossible, all the buildings here are in the style of the human race, what does it have to do with the demon race?" A senior elder from Ling Xu Dong Tian questioned. The two sides were at odds, each unwilling to give in, and everything was for the ancient temple in the magma.
"Bang"
Inside the ancient temple, dull sounds kept coming out from time to time. Even several powerful demons and the master of Lingxu Dongtian couldn't bear it at such a close distance, their faces didn't look very good.
Boiling magma, abnormally bright red, continuously gushing out like fresh blood, that radiant ancient temple slowly rose up, gradually about to leave the volcano mouth.
A great demon was about to step forward, but the old python blocked its way, saying: "We've already waited for several days, do you still care about this little time? Let it break through the ancient seal on its own, don't interfere, lest something unexpected happens."
"This is the script of my demonic tribe!" Just then, the giant with two horns on his head and a height of three meters suddenly shouted, "Look quickly, it's the imperial script of the demonic tribe, it must be left by an emperor of the demonic tribe!"
The entire ancient temple was forged from five-colored divine jade, its body crystal clear and radiant with a dazzling light, truly extraordinary. At the base of the temple were carved many ancient characters, some resembling dragons and phoenixes, others similar to turtles and qilins, which were actually the ancient demonic tribe's imperial script.
"What else do you humans have to say? Leave quickly, this is something left by a great emperor of our demon clan from ancient times and has nothing to do with you."
At this moment, the ancient temple is shining with a dazzling divine light, emitting an aura that intimidates people's hearts, surrounded by colorful divine splendor, which is extraordinary.
The master of the Lingxu Cave Heaven changed color upon hearing this, and then stared at the ancient temple carefully, finally seeming to remember something, revealing an extremely excited expression, saying: "I know now, this is the burial site of the last great emperor of the Donghuang demon tribe!"
Several powerful demons heard this and changed color, staring at the five-colored ancient temple, watching carefully and attentively, they were shocked and uncertain.
The old python stood up straight, stretched out half of its body forward, with a solemn expression, and finally said in a trembling voice: "It is indeed the mausoleum of my demon tribe's emperor, exactly as described by our ancestors!"
No one had thought that the ancient temple, built with five-colored divine jade, was actually the tomb of the last emperor of the demon clan, hidden deep beneath the volcano until today when the seal loosened and it emerged with the surging lava.
"The last great emperor who unified the You tribe in the Eastern Wilderness is him, it must be him!" The master of Ling Xu Dongtian kept muttering to himself, his expression somewhat dazed.
Several powerful demons present immediately became confident and justified, with the old python saying: "You know that's good, this is the tomb of the last divine emperor of my demon clan, it has nothing to do with your human race, quickly retreat." The other powerful demons all burst out with unparalleled momentum, rolling demonic energy surged into the sky, instantly covering the entire starry sky, filling the air with a murderous aura.
The master of the Lingxu Cave Heaven regained his composure, seemingly more agitated than the few great demons. He trembled and said: "Although this is the tomb of the Great Emperor of the Demon Clan, it also contains a precious treasure of my Human Clan, which should be recovered today."
"Nonsense! The mausoleum of the Demon Clan's Divine Emperor, how could it possibly have a treasure from your Human Tribe? You're clearly trying to steal the tomb of my Demon Clan's Great Emperor!"
Several powerful demons revealed their anger and rushed forward, blocking the entrance to the Lingxu Cave Heaven, ready to strike at any moment.
The calm and composed expression of the master of Ling Xiu Cave Heaven returned, saying: "Everything I said is true. In the past, the last great emperor of the Eastern Wasteland's demonic tribe, who had achieved the ultimate in cultivation, unified the demonic tribes that had been divided for tens of thousands of years, posing a huge threat to the human race of the Eastern Wasteland. It was during that time that the Eastern Wasteland's most precious treasure went missing, and legend has it that it was stolen by the demonic emperor. The "Dao Jing", a divine classic that shook the Eastern Wasteland, was also torn apart at that time, losing an extremely important volume. Later generations found evidence pointing to the fact that everything was done by that great emperor of the demonic tribe. It seems that the treasure of the Eastern Wasteland and the most important volume of the "Dao Jing" are both here, and today they will finally see the light of day again!
As soon as this was said, several great demons were stunned, and then their eyes all revealed extremely hot light. Although the demon clan could not cultivate the most profound human immortal classics "Tao Jing" in the Eastern Wilderness, they had made up their minds to stay behind. As for that human treasure, if it really existed, naturally, it couldn't be let go either.
The master of Ling Xiu Dong Tian showed no fear at all and took a big step forward when facing several powerful demons.
"Bang"
The ancient temple built from the Five-Colored Divine Jade emitted a dull sound once again, as the power of the seal rapidly dissipated. It had almost completely risen to the mouth of the volcano, with shimmering halos and flashing divine lights of five colors. The tomb of the last great emperor of the Eastern Desolate Tribe was about to reappear in the world.
In the palace group under the volcano, super ferocious birds and beasts such as Thunderbird, as well as more than a dozen elders of Lingxu Cave Heaven, all restrained themselves and slowly moved forward towards the mountain.
In the distance, Ye Fan witnessed all of this with his own eyes. His heart was extremely unpeaceful, but he didn't have the power to go forward and fight for it, so he could only quietly watch from where he was.
