Chapter 1616: Has the First Emperor been here?

After seeing these coffins, I froze in place, my eyes filled with astonishment.

There were indeed too many coffins here. They were so densely packed that I couldn't see the end.

The most important thing was that each coffin was filled with extremely strong evil spirits. It seemed that I seemed to hear... deep breathing sounds in some of the coffins!

"All the people sleeping here are the ancestors of my Hu family." Hu Shihua saw my astonishment and whispered, "The deeper the coffins are, the older they are. The oldest ones can even be traced back to the ancient times or even the ancient times, but they are only a minority. After all, the time is too long. Most of them have only been sleeping for thousands of years, and many have only been sleeping for less than three hundred years."

"Are these sleeping ancestors of the Hu family... all of the blood of the Fiery Sun Fox?" I asked with a frown.

I thought to myself, if this is true, then it's no wonder that the Hu family has been able to dominate the demon world for thousands of years. The Hu family members living outside the Ten Thousand Demons Peak are not a hidden danger to the other major races in the demon world. The real foundation of the Hu family comes from the inside of the Ten Thousand Demons Peak, from these coffins!

"Of course not." Hu Shihua shook his head: "However, there are indeed quite a few predecessors of the Lieyang Sky Fox who are in deep sleep, but they are too powerful, and their resurrection requires extremely huge spiritual energy as support. The rest, even if they are not of the Lieyang Sky Fox bloodline, are extremely powerful, and there is a thin Lieyang Sky Fox bloodline flowing in their bodies. Although they cannot perform some of the spells that the Lieyang Sky Fox can perform, their physical bodies are extremely powerful. This can be regarded as inheriting a small number of the characteristics of the Lieyang Sky Fox."

I nodded when I heard it, and then followed Hu Shihua and walked quickly into the darkness.

At this moment, we are inside the Ten Thousand Demons Peak. Judging from the height we jumped down from before, if we convert this to the outside of the Ten Thousand Demons Peak, it should be the foot of the mountain.

The space here is very large, but it is almost occupied by densely packed coffins.

As I followed Hu Shihua deeper and deeper, I suddenly found that some coffins had been destroyed, and the coffins were empty. There were no sleeping Hu family members, nor rotten bones!

"Where are the people in the coffins?" I frowned.

Hu Shihua on the side seemed to see through the doubts in my heart, and immediately said: "Over the past thousands and tens of thousands of years, there have been several turbulences in the demon world. Especially in the past two thousand years, a mortal emperor came here, to my Hu family, and wanted to take away the Demon-Subduing Mirror. Fortunately, several ancestors of my Hu family awakened from their slumber and forced the emperor to retreat. However, the emperor was also extremely powerful. Even if several ancestors of the Hu family joined forces, one of whom was even an ancestor of the Fiery Sun Sky Fox who had unsealed the seven-tailed beast, they could only barely force him back. In the end, he even sat down and passed away on the Ten Thousand Demons Peak."

Hu Shihua's words were like a muffled thunder, exploding in my mind, shaking me so much that I froze in place for an instant.

"Nearly two thousand years ago, a human emperor came to the Hu family and wanted to take the Demon-Subduing Mirror. Could it be that the human emperor she was talking about was the First Emperor, who was known as the greatest emperor of all time?" Oh

my God!

I thought to myself, if that's the case, then I... seemed to have underestimated the power of the First Emperor!

Several ancestors of the Hu family joined forces, and one of them even had the Fiery Sun Fox that had unsealed seven tails, but they could only barely force the First Emperor back to the human world. And most importantly, these ancestors of the Hu family, including the Fiery Sun Fox that had unsealed seven tails, were all exhausted from this battle and died on the Ten Thousand Demons Peak?

"Alone, he fought against many ancestors of the Hu family, and even forced several of them to sit and die directly on the Ten Thousand Demons Peak. Could it be that the First Emperor had already reached the Xiantian? No, not reaching the Xiantian, but... surpassing the Xiantian, or even far surpassing the Xiantian!"

I was stunned, thinking how could this be possible.

Today, the spiritual energy is exhausted, and it is the end of the Dharma era. Even two thousand years ago, it was the same.

But the First Emperor, how could he be so powerful?

"Could it be that he inherited a special legacy, such as... the legacy of a saint? No, that's impossible. How could an emperor inherit the legacy of a saint?"

Many of the saints' principles are completely opposite to the style of this first emperor of all ages. Although this first emperor of all ages is good at fighting and unified the mountains and rivers, he also caused many people to lose their countries and families, become displaced, and the earth was stained with blood.

If he inherited the legacy of a saint, he would not do this, and might even give up the throne and concentrate on studying the way of heaven!

However, why did the First Emperor go to such great lengths to come to the demon world and want to take away the Demon-Subduing Mirror?

Could it be that this artifact... hides some information?

Or, does it hide the way of the saint?

I couldn't help but raise my head and look upward, and I saw that the starry sky was still quietly suspended above my head. Although I had reached the bottom of the abyss, the starry sky still gave me a feeling of being very low, as if it was within reach. As I stared at it for a long time, I suddenly had a feeling...that my whole mind was almost being sucked into this starry sky.

I lowered my head hastily, rubbed my brows, and murmured, "This seems... not an ordinary artifact, but an artifact that contains some kind of heavenly law. Could it be that the saints gave it special properties? Artifacts have spirits. Can I communicate with this artifact?"

Once this thought came up, it could no longer be suppressed, but in the end, I shook my head and gave up this crazy idea.

This is a divine artifact, and it is very special. It has suppressed the demon world for thousands of years. If I rashly enter the artifact with my divine thoughts and disturb the spirit of the artifact, my divine thoughts may be instantly annihilated by this artifact.

"I'm still too weak now. I can give it a try when I'm strong enough."

I took a deep breath and quickly followed Hu Shihua. The two of us walked into the depths of the abyss one after the other.

However, as we walked deeper and deeper, suddenly, the dangerous aura that I had sensed before appeared in my mind again.

And this time it was even stronger. At that moment, I felt as if I had been electrocuted. My scalp was numb and the hairs on my body stood up.

"What's going on?"

I stopped, and almost at the same time I stopped, I heard a muffled "bang". I turned my head suddenly and saw that an extremely ancient coffin had just trembled.

It seems that the existence sleeping inside has awakened!
