Eternal Sacred King

2528 Sweep

The Martial Dao Prime Body looked at Ling Xian who had retreated into the crowd and did not continue chasing.

There were too many cultivators gathered around Ling Xian and it would take some effort to kill him.

Furthermore, the moment he injured Ling Xian, a few terrifying auras locked onto him!

If he was not wrong, those terrifying auras were Grotto-heaven realm experts!

This was the prince of Firmament Ascension Palace after all. It was not surprising if a few Fiend Kings stood out to protect him after such a huge matter.

The Martial Dao Prime Body could not be bothered with this person. As his blood qi surged, he dispersed the few auras on his body and turned to enter the Fiend Cave.

Ling Xian consumed many elixir pills. Coupled with his strong blood qi and regeneration capabilities, his face was much more rosy by now and his injuries were healing rapidly.

“Desolate Martial!”

Ling Xian looked at the back view of the Martial Dao Prime Body and spat out two words with even more killing intent.

It did not matter even if he could not defeat Desolate Martial. As long as the Fiend Kings of Firmament Ascension Palace killed Desolate Martial, he would still be the Supreme Perfected Fiend!

“Your Highness, what should we do now?”

A Perfected Fiend at the side asked.

Ling Xian waved his hand and gestured to the Perfected Fiends behind him. “The few of you, go in and take a look. Remember, you must keep an eye on Desolate Martial and not let him escape from your line of sight!”

Behind Ling Xian, 20 Perfected Fiends were selected.

The 20 Perfected Fiends knew what was going on. The prince before them clearly had reservations and did not dare to venture deep into the Fiend Cave. That was why he wanted them to check things out first.

However, the hierarchy of Firmament Ascension Palace was strict and they did not dare to disobey.

“Hold on!”

Pondering for a moment, Ling Xian looked at the two people beside him. “Duan Ming, Song Shi, the two of you should head in as well just in case.”

“Understood!”

Duan Ming and Song Shi replied in deep voices.

Both of them were experts of the half-step Grotto-heaven realm!

Ling Xian did not feel confident if there were only Perfected Fiend experts; it was naturally much safer with two half-step Grotto-heaven experts.

Furthermore, they were only the vanguard.

Fiend Kings of Firmament Ascension Palace were also observing the activity of the Fiend Cave nearby. If anything happened, those Fiend Kings would appear immediately!

Moreover, Firmament Ascension Palace was not the only one. The other seven major sects and factions had Fiend Kings lurking nearby as well, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The young master of Black Fiend Sect seemed to be listening carefully. A moment later, he chose more than ten Perfected Fiends and headed towards the Fiend Cave.

Yellow Springs Villa, Godfiend Ridge, Wind Fiend Sect, Ghost King Palace and Soul Devouring Palace refused to fall behind and charged towards the Fiend Cave with their young masters in the lead as well!

“Interesting.”

The young master of Heavenly Evil Sect chuckled. “Seems like Heavenly Evil Sect can’t fall behind either. Let’s go!”

Due to the intrusion of the Martial Dao Prime Body into the Fiend Cave, the calmness of the scene was broken instantly. Led by Firmament Ascension Palace, the seven heaven-grade fiend sects and factions could not hold it in any longer and sent people into the Fiend Cave.

This was the first time that the Fiend Cave had appeared and the treasures within had never seen the light of day. They had been sealed for many years and were definitely relatively intact.

This meant that whoever could get their hands on them first would be able to obtain even more benefits!

Of course, the first batch of people to enter the Fiend Cave would also have to face unpredictable danger.

Unlike the other cultivators, the young masters of the seven heaven-grade fiend sects had something to rely on and were not bothered by the sinister winds at the entrance of the Fiend Cave.

After the seven young masters entered the Fiend Cave, they secretly took out a black incomplete diagram from their storage bags in the darkness and held it in their palms.

Others might not know the origin of this Fiend Cave, but the seven of them each had a black incomplete diagram in their hands. Naturally, they knew that beneath this Fiend Cave was definitely a tomb of the Fiend Emperor!

The reason why they came this time round was also because they could sense the guidance of the black incomplete diagram.

Initially, not many people would know about this.

However, it was said that a traitor appeared in Firmament Ascension Palace and stole the black incomplete diagram from the hands of Prince Ling Xian before escaping here to barge into the Fiend Cave. That was why this matter was exposed.

…

The sinister wind at the entrance of the Fiend Cave was the most ferocious. As the Martial Dao Prime Body ventured deeper, the sinister wind gradually weakened until it vanished completely.

The Fiend Cave resembled a gigantic inverted tomb.

The Martial Dao Prime Body followed the connection of the black incomplete diagram and headed down diagonally. Although the range of his visual and spirit consciousness detection was limited, he was not worried with the help of his spirit perception.

After walking for a long time, a faint light appeared below.

It was as though he had already arrived at the bottom of the Fiend Cave. The entire journey was extremely quiet and he did not encounter any danger or traps.

That was a little strange.

The Martial Dao Prime Body was puzzled.

Logically speaking, if it was truly an Emperor’s tomb, given the other party’s status, they would definitely not want their tomb to be discovered and trampled by others in the future.

Therefore, there would be all sorts of dangers and traps in the tombs and cave abodes of many experts.

Throughout history, most Emperors’ tombs were extremely dangerous places!

Apart from the sinister wind at the entrance of the Fiend Cave that was a little dangerous, there was nothing unusual about this Fiend Cave.

Faint footsteps sounded from behind, mixed with the chatter of countless cultivators. It was intertwined and chaotic.

If he was not wrong, many fiend cultivators outside should have followed him in.

When the Martial Dao Prime Body descended, his vision cleared up and light returned.

Before them was a gigantic palace with all sorts of luxurious decorations. The four walls were embedded with Night Luminance Beads the size of longans.

On the four walls of the palace, there were rows of shelves that should have contained many treasures.

Some of them were clearly meant for displaying divine weapons.

Some of them seemed like they were meant for cultivation techniques and secret manuals.

However, the shelves were empty right now. It was as though everything had been completely swept away by others.

“If I’m not wrong, all the treasures in this palace must have been looted by that traitor of Firmament Ascension Palace.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body recalled the conversation between the few cultivators in Firmament Ascension Palace and made a rough guess.

The palace was extremely huge. Apart from the entrance he came from, there was another exit on the left of the palace that led to an unknown place.

Right then, Firmament Ascension Palace and the other cultivators entered as well.

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not linger and followed the guidance of the black incomplete diagram towards the exit on the left of the palace.

“Initially, there were immortal pills here!”

Duan Ming took a deep breath in front of a row of shelves and said in a deep voice, “The medicinal fragrance of the immortal pills here has yet to dissipate. It’s clear that someone has just taken away all the immortal pills.”

“Isn’t that obvious? It must be Desolate Martial!”

Song Shi said coldly.

The young master of Heavenly Evil Sect harrumphed coldly. “Isn’t Desolate Martial way too ruthless? He took away everything without even leaving a single piece of scrap for us!”

“If this is the tomb of a Fiend Emperor, those were definitely not the only treasures.”

Duan Ming said in a deep voice, “This place can only be considered as the entrance to the tomb. The true treasures are definitely still behind!”

“Seems like there’s no danger in this Fiend Emperor’s Tomb. We were way too cautious.”

“Let’s hurry and follow him. Don’t let him take away all the treasures again!”

Someone shouted and everyone chased after him hurriedly.
