I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: Offering to the Temple Altar (2/3) Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: Offering to the Temple Altar (2/3) As the tomb door opened.

A dense, tangible black aura surged out like a wild wind!

The crowd standing in front of the tomb door were shocked and immediately raised their defensive barriers.

However, those at the very front who were too slow to react only managed to raise their barrier momentarily before the gale-force deathly aura shattered it, and the black aura surged into the bodies of the few standing closest.

Amid piercing screams, the bodies of those few began to wither at a visible pace, their skin gradually covered by the spreading blackness.

Mouths agape, eyes wide open, their pupils gradually lost focus under the invasion of the black aura.

From the corners of their eyes, their mouths, their temples, until each of the Seven Apertures began to ooze copious amounts of black blood!

Under the solemn gaze of the onlookers, these individuals turned into dried corpses lying on the ground, no longer breathing…

It must be understood that those who appeared here were prodigies from various sects and sects!

They had died without even stepping through the grand tomb entrance…

This alone demonstrated the perilous nature of the tomb.

Above, the expressions of several powerful individuals darkened as well. Clearly, those who had died belonged to their sects.

The ceaseless black aura spewed out for the duration of an incense stick to burn before it gradually came to a halt.

Still, the deathly aura lingering in the air remained.

After all, this was a tomb the size of a small town, with untold numbers of accompanying burials over a million years, naturally accumulating a massive scale of deathly energy.

But given the strength of those present, they were generally able to withstand it.

As some slowly released their barriers and found no harm, they began to move forward.

The moment Ye Qiubai and his group entered the tomb gate.

They encountered a long corridor. On the walls of the corridor, there were carvings that depicted scenes of a hundred birds toward a phoenix, and lords coming to pay homage.

The further back they went, the more the images transformed into scenes of war.

Possibly chronicling the history of the Prince’s kingdom.

There weren’t many traps along the corridor, and upon exiting, they entered the first spacious hall.

There wasn’t much scenery around, except for a huge human statue in the center.

Atop the throne, the statue sat with regal authority, draped in a luxurious python robe, holding a scepter in its hand.

Before the statue lay a grand altar.

Atop it were an abundance of bones and items that appeared extremely valuable; the incense burner still emitted wisps of smoke.

It was hard to imagine, after a million years, the incense had not yet extinguished!

“It seems we are in the Hall of Offerings,” said the Crown Prince with a solemn face.

The Hall of Offerings was, after all, where they paid homage to the tomb’s master.

While many around didn’t linger long on the statue, instead, they began to search the surroundings for mechanisms and valuable objects.

Some even started to tamper with the items on the altar.

This included the leader of the Huang Army, Huang Jun, and the young leader of the Sand Sea Gang, Sha Yuansheng.

The Crown Prince turned to Ye Qiubai and his group, saying, “In the royal family, there are rules; no matter what, we must pay our respects to the tomb owner in the Hall of Offerings.”

After speaking, the Crown Prince Bailu and his group took the lead towards the altar, bowing to the statue.

Seeing this, Ye Qiubai and the others followed suit.

As the Holy Son of the Xuanwu Divine Dynasty, he naturally knew these customs as well.

Others, seeing their actions, also began to bow in respect.

However, at least sixty percent of the people present continued to search nearby, completely disregarding this practice.

After the worship was over, many people continued forward, apparently finding nothing, so they headed for the next tomb passage.

However, after everyone had left the offering hall, where no one could see,

the eyes of the sculptures flashed with streaks of blue ghostly fire. These streaks of blue ghostly fire emerged from the sculptures, transforming into clumps of fire, silently drifting into the tomb passage…

As they walked through the tomb passage, no danger occurred.

The Crown Prince gradually came to understand the structure of this place and explained in a low voice, “If I’m not wrong, the construction of this tomb chamber probably strictly adheres to the standards of a Prince’s tomb from the Chaos Divine Dynasty.”

Many rules of the divine dynasties in the Chaos Realm today are extensions of those from the Chaos Divine Dynasty, including the grading and construction standards for tomb chambers.

“After the tomb gate is the offering hall, then comes the tomb passage, and passing through it leads to the memorial hall, and then the sealed earth. This area is the first level aboveground.”

“There’s a high probability that there isn’t much of value to take on this aboveground level. There should be a passage leading underground at the site of the sealed earth. Once underground, that’s where the real tomb chamber is, and where, I reckon, the dangers lie. However, the inheritance and treasures are all there.”

Blackie nodded and said, “So, there isn’t much danger on this level?”

The Crown Prince shook his head and cautiously said, “Not necessarily. The overall structure should be like this, but since it is a Prince’s tomb, many dangers are hidden in the dark.”

As expected.

The Crown Prince’s guess was not off the mark.

After passing through the tomb passage, what appeared before them was a place resembling a bedroom—the memorial hall.

It contained many items of daily use. However, after such a long time, these items still appeared as if brand new, without any dust…

Even the entire room was clean as if it were a mirror surface.

Only next to a round table, there stood three skeletal figures, motionless.

Usually, a tomb guardian is present within the memorial hall.

These tomb guardians would serve as they did during the lifetime of the tomb’s master, cleaning the room.

“Not right…” Suddenly, Jiu Bailu stopped.

The Crown Prince, and everyone including Ye Qiubai, also halted, looking over with confusion.

Jiu Bailu stared at every blind spot in the room and whispered, “Too clean, a million years, and for a tomb concealed beneath the sands, how could it be without a speck of dust?”

On hearing this, the faces of the Crown Prince and the others changed abruptly as they stared intently at the three skeletal tomb guardians.

The moment someone approached.

The three skeletal tomb guardians suddenly sprang into action.

Clack clack clack…

As the sound of bone rubbing against bone rose,

Everyone turned their gaze in horror.

One of the skeletal tomb guardians swept its gaze over the crowd, and within its hollow eye sockets, green ghostly fires ignited!

“Intruding the tomb, there’s no turning back, either stay here as an accompaniment in burial or gain the Prince’s approval…”

A series of mechanical-like voices sounded.

As soon as the voice fell,

All three skeletons clenched their fists and slammed them onto the ground!

Instantly, the entire memorial hall began to shake violently!

The ground started to collapse, and everyone looked horrified, trying to fly to avoid falling along with the collapsing ground.

However, unbeknownst to them, a No-fly Array had been laid out!

All of them,

Including Ye Qiubai and the rest, fell into the depths below with the collapsing ground…
