Chapter 2534: Chapter 2508: Tomb Guardian (Second Update)
Sealed Gate martial artist!
Fortunately, he did not get close; therefore, many were not killed, and he survived.
He had personally witnessed the Demon Emperor slaughter the powerhouses, presiding over the collapse of heaven and earth, blood rain flying everywhere. The entire Divine Kingdom seemed like the arrival of doomsday—terrifying—the sky cracked, the ground split open, and endless blood rain poured down. That scene, he will never forget!
Demon Emperor!
Finally killed by his close confidant Jun Mochen and several top-tier powerhouses!
But unexpectedly, the Demon Emperor, once a Supreme Strong Person who slaughtered the Divine Kingdom, had actually resurrected!
At this moment, Elder Yun turned around to tear through the void to escape, but found that the void had already been sealed off. Wanting to fly away, he found himself unable to move!
“Fucking beast?”
“You still want to run?”
The Demon Emperor snorted coldly, casually waving his right hand.
In the sky, countless blood-colored thunderclouds surged, and then thousands of blood-colored lightning bolts fell, each one the size of ten thousand zhang, directly striking Elder Yun. Immediately, a blast sound transmitted, and the Disaster Slaying realm Elder Yun’s physical body exploded on the spot, his divine soul obliterated—no longer existing!
Instant kill!
Is this the might of the Demon Emperor?
Ye Chen was completely dumbfounded!
He knew the Demon Emperor was strong, but he didn’t know he was this strong!
Has the Demon Emperor already recovered his peak strength now?
Elder Yun is dead!
Ye Chen had almost recovered from his injuries, upon seeing the Demon Emperor, he was overjoyed and said, “Demon Emperor, have you already recovered your peak strength?”
“After that battle with the demon race, where did you go?”
“Why suddenly contact me now?”
“And, this time you sought me out, is it to join forces with me to ascend the Heavenly Dao Palace?”
Ye Chen threw out many questions one after another.
He had too many doubts in his heart.
Only the Demon Emperor could solve them for him.
The Demon Emperor shook his head, “During this time, I’ve been cultivating in the altar that Di Ling prepared for me.”
“Unfortunately, I haven’t reached the peak yet.”
“The power from the altar that Di Ling gave me is strong, but it’s far from enough.”
“The only good news is that Di Ling is still alive, I can sense the weak connection he released to me in the Lingwu Continent.”
“As for the Heavenly Dao Palace, my current strength is definitely not enough to contend!”
The Demon Emperor’s emotions were somewhat complicated, he sighed slightly and said, “So, I cannot join you in ascending the Heavenly Dao Palace to eliminate this power.”
He paused for a moment, then said, “The reason I asked you to come is that I need you to go to a place with me. I can’t enter that place, but you can.”
“What place?” Ye Chen calmed down and asked: “Demon Emperor, if you can’t even enter that place, even less so for me—I’m just at the Sealed Gate realm, and you can already kill those in the mid to late stages of the Disaster Slaying realm!”
The Demon Emperor smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, “That place is quite special; only those from a certain clan can enter, even I am no exception!”
He explained, “That place is actually a tomb, a very special ancient tomb, belonging to a powerhouse from the ancient times of the Divine Kingdom! It harbors a strong member of the Ye family!”
“Just so you know!”
“In ancient times, the Divine Kingdom Ye Family was an extremely powerful clan, far stronger than today’s Divine Kingdom’s Heavenly Dao Palace, and the Ye family was also very dominean
“And you, carry the bloodline of the Divine Kingdom Ye Family!”
Ancient times!
Distinct from the ancient times renowned for the formidable Demon Emperor!
In those ancient times, simply mentioning the Divine Kingdom Ye Family could shake the Nine Heavens; all fiendgods and evil spirits, upon seeing a person from the Ye Family, had to kneel, even the supreme strong people from the nine levels of the Disaster Slaying realm!
“I am still far from my peak period!”
“In fact, I have regained quite a bit of combat strength, but to fully recover, I need a treasure from the Ye family’s tomb, called the Ancient Sky Demon Pearl, which was one of the burial objects of a Ye family ancestor.”
“Obtaining it would give me a chance to restore my strength.”
“Even surpassing the peak.”
“By then, I will be able to accompany you to assault the Heavenly Dao Palace.”
The Demon Emperor personally asked for Ye Chen’s help.
Even if the Divine Kingdom Ye Family no longer existed.
The power left in the tombs is enough to exclude even the Demon Emperor, a sanctuary untouched by any from the Divine Kingdom, of course, except for the true Ye family members, Ye Chen, who carries the Ancestral Return bloodline, connected to the ancient Ye Family.
Ye Chen is the only one who can retrieve the Ancient Sky Demon Pearl for him.
Thus, the Demon Emperor came to find him!
“If that’s the case!”
“This concerns the tomb of my Ye Family.”
“The Ancient Sky Demon Pearl, as a burial object, has been buried in the tomb and besides serving as decoration; it has no other use.”
“Moreover, I’m curious about my own identity.”
“This might be my first contact with someone from the ancient Ye Family.”
“Elder Yong had long mentioned the strength of the Ye Family; this time, I’d like to feel it for myself!”
Then, his gaze fell on the Demon Emperor and said, “Alright, Demon Emperor, I’ll retrieve the Ancient Sky Demon Pearl for you!”
“Thank you!”
“We leave immediately! But it’s best if I can enter with you.”
“If you enter with your Sealed Gate strength, I worry it might be dangerous.”
“If you were to fall in the tomb because of my issue, it would be a lifelong guilt for me!”
Ye Chen smiled lightly: “We will see how things go at that time.”
The Demon Emperor waved his hand, tearing through the Void, and led Ye Chen through a space tunnel, traversing millions of miles of space and arriving directly in an absolute territory!
Hoo hoo hoo~~
Yah yah yah~~
A series of crow and animal sounds could be heard.
It was particularly harsh, and any cowardly person who heard it might be scared enough to kneel.
Stepping out of the space tunnel, Ye Chen found himself in a mysterious place that seemed never to see daylight, a dim environment filled with dry vines and living among them were blood-red crows, each emitting a tremendously strong aura, somewhat resembling a group guarding the tomb.
He looked forward intently, and an extremely splendid tomb emerged, which could not even be described as a mere tomb but rather a palace, a tomb covered with dry vines and array formations, exuding an aura of destruction from every corner!
Suddenly.
An elder appeared, his expression indifferent, seeming to be the Tomb Guardian.
He looked at Ye Chen, then at the Demon Emperor behind him, and spoke indifferently: “The departed have passed; they should not be disturbed. You both should go back.”
Ye Chen took a closer look; the elder in front of him seemed very ordinary, dressed in a grey robe, holding a cane, his face full of wrinkles, looking like an ordinary old man in his eighties or nineties, on the brink of death, and his body showing no signs of energy fluctuations, looking extremely simple.
Not worth fearing.
