Several people in the room felt their scalps tingle. The host?

So these two were just low-ranking soldiers? If low-ranking soldiers are this powerful, what must their master be like?

The Demon Emperor was both shocked and furious, squeezing the ghost of Danzhu tightly in his hand: "Is this your father?"

“No…no…” Danzhu trembled, “This aura is wrong, it’s not my father.”

"Nonsense!" The Demon Emperor also realized that the evil aura before him bore no resemblance whatsoever to Danzhu.

At this moment, a terrifying vortex appeared on the central stone platform, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. Even with the cultivation levels of Zu An and the others, they almost couldn't control it. They felt the energy surging wildly out of their bodies and hurriedly used their internal energy to barely suppress it.

Zuan was secretly amazed. This suction force felt somewhat similar to the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique, but upon closer inspection, it was also somewhat different.

However, he had no time to think about these issues at this moment. Instead, he shouted at the Demon Emperor, "Stop him quickly! Once the thing inside is fully revived, none of us will survive!"

The being inside is clearly in the awakening stage, and this should be its most vulnerable time.

He wanted to go and stop it, but with such terrifying suction, he would probably follow in the footsteps of the fat man and die quickly. Perhaps only the Demon Emperor in the arena had the ability to stop it.

"Achoo!" Suddenly, a mound of earth rose up on the ground outside the cave, and then a figure emerged from it.

"Damn it, that was so dangerous! Luckily, I managed to escape beforehand." The voice shuddered as it sensed the cave behind it being like a giant hole, constantly draining the surrounding天地 (heaven and earth) energy.

If Zuan and his group were here, they would probably be shocked, because this figure was none other than Wu Liang, who had just been drained dry inside!

At this moment, Wu Liang was in a very sorry state. His once chubby body had shrunk considerably, clearly indicating a significant loss of energy and spirit.

A look of heartache crossed his face: "Oh dear, another life lost. This trip to the secret realm has been a huge loss. I must find some other treasures to make up for it."

As the last descendant of the mountain-climbing clan, he has looted countless ancient tombs over the years, obtaining many valuable items from them.

He once obtained the cultivation secrets of the "Nine-Lives Cat Demon" from the tomb of a powerful cat demon, which would grant him nine more lives.

Although it doesn't increase lifespan, it can give you more chances to survive if you die unexpectedly.

I used it once during a desperate tomb raiding attempt years ago, and now I've used it a second time. Just thinking about the chubby flesh on my cheeks makes me tremble; it really hurts!

He resolutely walked in the opposite direction from the cave. On the way here, he had noticed that there were several caves that might hold some treasures.

However, at that time, the Demon Emperor was only thinking about the elixir of immortality and the chance to become an immortal, and was not very interested in those opportunities. Now it's a good deal for him.

As for the terrifying tomb behind him, he knew that even nine lives wouldn't be enough to keep him from dying. His years of experience in tomb raiding had instilled in him a strong belief in the principle of "safety first." He believed in knowing one's limits and not venturing into things that were clearly beyond one's capabilities.

Let's leave it to the Demon Emperor and the others. If they can unravel the secrets, I can also leave this unknown place.

If they can't solve it, they'll die inside...

Staying in this world doesn't seem so bad. This world really does seem to have traces of immortals. If I raid a few more tombs and spend a hundred years accumulating strength, I can go back to that great tomb in the future, and all the good things will be mine! Hahaha~

Thinking of the good points, my previous depressed mood instantly improved. I walked with an air of nonchalance, heading towards the setting sun, gradually disappearing into the horizon.

However, Zaun and his companions inside the tomb were not in such a good mood. They were struggling to stay afloat, experiencing the terror of the stone coffin up close.

Upon hearing Zuan's words, the Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed. He naturally understood this principle, but he was worried that if he made a move, Zuan would reap the benefits.

But the current situation left him no time to consider such things. Suddenly, two golden lights appeared in his palm, like two small suns.

Then, in the next second, he teleported to the stone coffin and blasted directly at the crystal skull.

He knew that the root of all this was the combination of the crystal skull and the stone coffin, and that breaking it or separating the two should stop it.

Upon seeing this, the white-robed man and the crimson giant bear rushed forward to block the demon emperor.

Two golden wings suddenly rose from the Demon Emperor's back, each feather radiating golden sword energy. Knowing that time was of the essence, he showed no mercy in his attack.

The crimson giant bear roared, its fur standing on end like steel needles, blocking the golden sword energy.

His fur was shaved off piece by piece, but many of the feathers on the golden wings behind the Demon Emperor also became dull and lifeless.

The white-robed man snorted coldly, his left hand wreathed in green flames, his right hand wielding a black water dragon, as he attacked the Demon Emperor from both sides.

Even from a distance, you can smell a sour, foul odor, and it also has a pungent, eye-irritating odor.

"It's poisonous!" Yun Jianyue hurriedly warned. She stared intently at the flames and black water that the white-robed man was wielding. Neither the flames nor the water were of a normal color, and she couldn't tell for a moment which one was poisonous, or whether both were.

Zuan could see clearly that neither the white-robed man nor the crimson giant bear was weaker than the Demon Emperor. Even if he could hold them off alone, he certainly wouldn't have the energy to stop the being in the stone coffin from reviving.

At this moment, disregarding the grudges between him and the Demon Emperor, he was about to go and help when suddenly the entire hall shone with golden light, and the hidden runes on the walls lit up.
