The various patterns on the altar lit up, and the shimmering lines extended in all directions, giving the entire tomb a powerful aura. In that instant, the entire tomb seemed to come alive.
On the other side, Gonggong's crystal skull suddenly rose up: "The aura of Yu the Great!"
The demon emperor standing to the side had a sudden thought. This Yu the Great seemed to be his greatest adversary; his opportunity had arrived…
"Follow me!" Gonggong had already transformed into a black robe. Except for his skull, he looked no different from a normal person. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared.
The Demon Emperor naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity; with a flash, he also disappeared from the spot.
For those at the Earth Immortal level, space no longer poses any obstacle.
The Golden Crow Prince was left completely bewildered. He instinctively tried to give chase, but he had no idea about the Earth Immortal realm and had no idea where the two had run off to.
Feeling the vast, silent, and mysterious ancient tomb, which resembled a monstrous beast ready to devour its prey, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He spread his hands frantically and cried out, "I haven't gotten on the bus yet! I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"
The next second, a golden light flashed, and the Demon Emperor suddenly appeared beside him, grabbed his shoulder, and then the two of them disappeared from the spot.
Zuan placed the nine cauldrons on the altar. Not long after, a loud rumbling sound came, and a large crack suddenly appeared in the ceiling, with a set of steps extending down.
Xiang Liu seemed to recall some past events, and for a moment he was lost in thought.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zuan pulled the three women back and teleported up the steps.
As if waking from a dream, Xiang Liu said to Fu You, "You stay here, I'll go and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
Since Fuyou was injured by the dragon's energy, the most urgent task was to heal his wounds as soon as possible, which was naturally beyond dispute.
As Xiang Liu went inside, the fallen steps suddenly became transparent and then disappeared.
Even the gaps that were previously visible on the ceiling have disappeared, leaving the entire ceiling flat and smooth, as if nothing had ever been there.
At this moment, the surrounding air distorted and rippled, and then Gonggong and the Demon Emperor and his son arrived one after another.
"My lord!" Fuyou hurriedly bowed to Gonggong.
"What happened to you?" Gonggong was shocked to see that Fuyou was so badly injured.
The Demon Emperor was equally surprised. He knew from their previous interactions that Zuan's combat strength could not be measured simply by his level, but he never expected it to be so exaggerated.
How could a celestial being be so severely injured?
You know, although Fuyou is weaker than him, he's not that much weaker. Does that mean he's also in danger when he faces Zuan and his group?
He was somewhat relieved that the floating creatures had helped him clear the way first; otherwise, if he had fought against them based on his previous impression of Zaun, he probably would have suffered a great loss.
"That brat was able to use the dragon energy here. I was caught off guard and suffered a great loss," Fuyou said resentfully. He felt utterly humiliated to have been defeated by an insignificant ant.
"So it was him who created the dragon vein power just now," Gonggong said, somewhat surprised, looking around. "Where are they now?"
"Just now, a space suddenly cracked open above my head, and a series of steps appeared..." Fuyou briefly described what had just happened.
"Yu the Great!" Gonggong gritted his teeth, clearly understanding something. He transformed into a cloud of black mist and searched everywhere for the location of that hidden space.
This large tomb was clearly meticulously arranged by Yu the Great, with complex and profound magical formations inside. Even he might not be able to find it in a short time.
Seeing Gonggong disappear, the Demon Emperor did not go with him this time, but stayed where he was.
The floating creature beside him frowned: "Why are you still here?"
The Demon Emperor looked at him with a smile: "You're injured, so I'll stay here with you."
"I don't need your company, go help the lord." Fuyou sneered.
"No, you need it." The Demon Emperor had unknowingly moved behind him, his hand, hidden behind his back, sprouting long, incredibly sharp nails…
Meanwhile, Zu'an led the three women up the steps, only to discover that this ancient tomb had a hidden top floor.
This floor features various magnificent statues and exquisite murals, surrounding the giant bronze coffin at the very top like stars around the moon.
"This is..." Zuan and the others originally wanted to look at the contents of the murals, but their attention was involuntarily drawn to the giant bronze coffin.
The stone coffin of Gonggong was already quite imposing, but compared to this bronze coffin, it was much smaller.
At this moment, black and green energies swirled around them, and Xiang Liu also appeared here. Just as he was about to attack the group, he also saw the giant bronze coffin opposite him.
"Yu the Great!" Xiang Liu's voice was a mixture of excitement and fear, as if it had stirred up some unpleasant memories.
The others were startled. Was this Yu the Great lying inside?
Zuan suddenly realized why his Nine Cauldrons had been faintly sensing a summoning power since entering this secret realm, and it was also thanks to it that he had just opened the mechanism here.
Unexpectedly, the alchemy cauldron that he had obtained by chance from Shen Xuzi of the National Academy was actually the legendary Nine Cauldrons.
However, he soon became puzzled again: if it was a Nine Tripod Cauldrons, why was it so small?
You should know that the legendary Nine Tripods were nine enormous objects.
At this moment, Xiang Liu had come to his senses and let out a nervous laugh: "Hahaha, back then, being sealed away was something I thought would be worse than death. But now we who failed have been resurrected, while you, the victor of that time, have turned into withered bones. Who could have imagined such a dramatic ending?"
Zuan and the others looked at him in surprise. From the moment they first met him, apart from his nine-headed, snake-bodied appearance which was a bit sanity-dropping, he had always been a gentle and refined gentleman in human form. This was the first time they had seen him so out of control.
