"Sealed?" The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow. Could it be that the ancient emperor was not dead, but merely sealed away?
“That’s right,” a voice came from the ancient tomb. “When my father was in power, many terrifying beasts appeared in the world. The most powerful of them were called the Four Fiends. My father suppressed the Four Fiends, and they naturally harbored resentment towards him. So Shun made the Four Fiends each responsible for a seal, forming a great array of heaven and earth to suppress my father.”
"The Four Fiends..." The Demon Emperor murmured the word, his face expressionless.
Wu Liang was terrified. These four fierce beasts were not to be trifled with. They could even suppress ancient emperors. Back then, emperors were ruthless characters who could fly. They were definitely more powerful than the current Earth Immortals.
Unfortunately, he knew that nothing he said would make a difference; he wasn't in charge. He could only hope that there would be a chance to escape along the way.
The voice from the ancient tomb explained, "The Four Fiends are Chaos, Qiongqi, Taotie, and Taowu. By the way, since you just came from Yushan, you should have seen Taotie. I sensed its presence."
The Demon Emperor's expression changed slightly. The image of the monster he had encountered in Feather Mountain flashed through his mind. He hadn't expected that even one of the Four Fiends was no less powerful than him. In particular, the intense resentment emanating from the monster was enough to erode his life force, making him extremely hesitant to fight it.
What kind of beings are the other three villains? Even someone as powerful as him could easily capsize.
Then the voice continued, "Do you remember Gun, the descendant of Emperor Xuan who fought against Shun, whom I mentioned earlier? Hehe, Taotie was transformed from his resentment after his death. I just sensed its rebirth. If I'm not mistaken, you have already broken a seal."
"The seal has been broken?" The Demon Emperor and the Golden Crow Prince looked bewildered.
Instead, Wu Liang's heart stirred: "That giant stone tortoise statue next to Yu Yuan!"
Even the Golden Crow Sacred Flame couldn't harm it in the slightest before; it was only the Demon Emperor's full-force attack that broke through it.
The Demon Emperor knew he was very skilled in mechanisms and formations, so this judgment was probably quite accurate.
"So all that's needed is to remove three more seals, and my father will be able to see the light of day again. Then everything will return to normal, haha." As if imagining the scene after his father came out, the voice in the ancient tomb laughed somewhat nervously.
"Why should I help you?" The Demon Emperor remained unmoved.
"Your Golden Crow Ancestor and my father were half-brothers. You are also descendants of the White Emperor. Do you really think that after knowing the truth, you would allow the Xuan Emperor's lineage to steal the land that originally belonged to our White Emperor's lineage?"
The Demon Emperor snorted: "What Xuan Emperor and White Emperor? They're all from tens of thousands of years ago. Open your eyes and see, times have changed. Who cares about Xuan Emperor and White Emperor now? I'm already the emperor myself, I don't need to rely on so-called ancestors."
The voice from the ancient tomb roared for a while, cursing him for forgetting his ancestors, but after a while it seemed to get tired of cursing and gradually calmed down:
"It doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge us as your ancestors, you still want to live forever, right?"
The Demon Emperor coldly said, "Otherwise, why do you think I would patiently listen to you recount these old, trivial matters?"
"So you need to break through the seal even more, and then my father will be able to answer any of your questions." The voice sounded smug.
"I don't think it's necessary to go through all that trouble," the Demon Emperor sneered. "Anyway, you've lived this long, so asking you won't change anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his hand and smashed a large hole in the door of the ancient tomb.
Wu Liang stared in astonishment as he explained that the entrance to an ancient tomb was usually the most secure part, blocked by countless tons of dragon-severing stones. Every time he raided a tomb, he had to open the tunnel from the side, but the Demon Emperor had actually blasted it open with a single palm strike...
At this moment, the Demon Emperor did not stop and walked straight into the ancient tomb. His attention was entirely focused on immortality, and he had no intention of paying attention to Wu Liang.
Wu Liang was trying to escape when the Golden Crow Prince caught him: "Come on, let's go in together."
Wu Liang cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations in secret, but dared not resist. Not to mention that even if the Demon Emperor were to enter, he could kill him with a single thought. Even if he were to fight the Golden Crow Prince one-on-one, he might not be able to defeat him.
The title of Crown Prince Jinwu among the younger generation of emperors is not something that can be earned by mere boasting.
After the two entered the ancient tomb, Wu Liang was terrified: "Be careful..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the Demon Emperor walked straight inside, and the mechanisms and formations in the ancient tomb were activated. In Wu Liang's view, their power was such that if he encountered them, he would be completely obliterated.
Who knew that the Demon Emperor would occasionally flick his sleeve or wave his palm, and most of the time, he wouldn't even need to raise his hand to block these terrifying mechanisms head-on.
Wu Liang's jaw nearly dropped to the ground. Normally, when he was tomb raiding, he was like a submissive wife, always having to carefully guess the tomb owner's intentions and guard against the tomb designer's traps. Even so, he was often left looking disheveled. In contrast, the Demon Emperor simply swept through the tomb unscathed.
When will I be this handsome?
This tomb is nominally an imperial mausoleum, but in reality it is quite simple. After walking in for a short while, we arrived at the main burial chamber.
"What...what are you going to do?" The voice rang out again, but this time it was no longer as unfathomable as before; instead, it sounded somewhat flustered.
The Demon Emperor didn't bother with any more words. He simply waved his hand, and an invisible force blasted out, shattering the coffin.
The group was taken aback when they saw what had fallen out.
A skeleton fell out of the coffin and scattered on the ground.
The surface of the white bones had a layer of jade color, indicating that the original owner had a high level of cultivation in life. However, he could not withstand the erosion of time. His whole body was dull and lifeless, and many parts of his body seemed to be shattered after falling to the ground.
