Chapter 405 - 405 Watching You
The azure dragon’s voice was rather hoarse and he spoke slowly, as if his true form was still asleep and he was saying these words from within a long dream.
However, everyone still understood what the other party meant.
The third level… was off-limits!
Now that they were forced out of the third level of the Demon Imperial Tombs, the First Ruler naturally stopped attacking and had no intention of going all out to kill them.
However, if they tried to return to the third level, they would definitely be attacked again!
“What’s wrong with this guy?”
Mo Lianque was still in shock as he wiped his sweat. When he looked at the azure dragon in the sky, his pupils involuntarily constricted. “Why did he suddenly attack us and expel us from the third level?”
The First Ruler, Yan Luosheng, did not just resurrect.
Not long after Feng Xia entered the second level, this once peerless expert had reappeared and shocked the world, causing countless demon beasts that entered the Demon Imperial Tombs to bow down and worship him.
However, Yan Luosheng disappeared after that. No one knew where he went.
Then he suddenly attacked them just now!
“Are we missing out on something?”
“Should we try again…”
Looking at the terrifying figure entangling with the third level, someone was shocked enough to suggest an unreliable method.
Almost as soon as the idea was proposed, it was rejected.
This was because someone had quietly taken a step closer to the third level.
Immediately, the azure dragon that had already closed its eyes opened its blood-red eyes again. A fierce aura bloomed and pressed down through the void. It was as if they would suffer the other party’s fierce attack if they took another step forward!
“As expected, we can’t go back in!”
Long Da stepped back regretfully and let out a frantic sigh. “We’re both dragons, so why do you feel the need to attack your own?”
At this moment, no one could understand the phrase “pain in the arse” better than him.
The once unattainable dream was right in front of him, as if it was within reach. However, before the dream came true, it became unattainable again.
This could no longer be described as simply being a pain in the arse.
“Are we going to have to retreat now?”
Mo Lianque gritted his teeth.
The terrifying might of the First Ruler even surpassed that of the previous Holy Son Ying Daoyi.
After all, at that time, there was still the Moon Goddess “the mighty one” holding the fort for them. At this moment, it was different. They were the mightiest ones now…
Standing on the wasteland of the second level, everyone fell silent.
For a moment, the air froze terrifyingly.
“Why did the First Ruler suddenly attack and stop outsiders from entering the third level?”
At a certain moment, Feng Xia suddenly frowned and muttered to himself, “He… is guarding something?”
“If we’re talking about guarding something, what is the First Ruler guarding?”
Feng Xia raised a very crucial question.
However, in the next moment, everyone’s expressions became a little awkward.
“Is he… guarding his own tomb?”
The Demon Imperial Tombs opened once every 10 years. Obtaining the qualifications to enter the Demon Imperial Tombs, then challenging the levels and reaping all sorts of opportunities… This had practically become a standard mindset!
It was only then that they remembered…
The First Ruler was the original owner of the Demon Imperial Tombs!
“He’s not just the owner…” At this moment, Mo Lianque finally came back to his senses. The emperor smiled bitterly and said, “This is his tomb, his grave. It’s only right for him… to stop us from digging up his grave!”
How could there be anything wrong with the tomb owner stopping others from digging his own tomb?
Everyone fell silent again.
If this was really the reason, it would be a little unbecoming of them to insist on breaking through to the third level after obtaining so many benefits from the First Ruler.
“He’s not necessarily guarding his own tomb.”
Just as everyone was silent, Feng Xia rubbed his temples and said thoughtfully, “You might not know this, but the Demon Imperial Tombs is not a real tomb. Or rather, Yan Luosheng’s main purpose in building it was not to bury himself here, but to build an immortal inheritance site and leave behind the inheritances for future generations!”
This was the secret that the village chief had told Feng Xia.
At this moment, Feng Xia spoke tirelessly, as if he had already known this secret a long time ago.
In a sense…
Can this be considered an attribute superpower too?
Your secret is also my secret!
“This is… an immortal inheritance site?”
When Mo Lianque heard this, he immediately came to a realization. “In that case, this explains why there are so many opportunities and inheritances here!”
Otherwise, why would someone not only bury treasures in his own tomb, but also spend so much effort to attract the inheritances of so many other races? Was he worried of being lonely after his death and wanted to find someone to chat with him in his tomb?
Naturally, the answer was no.
“You might have overlooked something else…”
...
Feng Xia reminded everyone again. This time, Long Da finally reacted. “Wait a minute! Fellow practitioner Feng, are you talking about…”
His gaze suddenly turned towards the third level. To be more precise, he was looking at the grave on the third level!
This grave was not the grave of the First Ruler, Yan Luosheng. Instead, it belonged to an even more terrifying existence—
The Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor!
“The First Ruler’s corpse… is being controlled by the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor?”
“But isn’t the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor already dead?”
Even when Long Da thought of this, he still found it hard to believe.
Feng Xia shook his head and said, “He has indeed died, but such a terrifying existence often dies without dying. Coupled with the nourishment from the Qianyuan Myriad Formation, he might have recovered to a certain state over the years.”
Long Da: “…”
In the eyes of ordinary living beings, life was life and death was death, and the dead could not be revived. It was a very normal law of the world.
However, for a terrifying expert like the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor, even the boundary between life and death could be broken. In other words, the boundary between life and death was not as clear for him as for ordinary people.
...
“In other words, at this time…”
When the group of people looked at the grave, they could not help but shiver. “It’s very likely that the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor has already regained a wisp of consciousness and is in a limbo situation where he’s neither dead nor alive. At this moment, he might be staring at us and observing us?”
“Yes!”
“If it’s the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor, he definitely won’t want us to destroy the Qianyuan Myriad Formation and ruin his revival plan!”
“The First Ruler is not guarding his own tomb, but the tomb of the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor!”
