Shrouding the Heavens

55: Demon Emperor’s Tomb 55: Demon Emperor’s Tomb Editor: Atlas Studios The Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Elders were now handling Pang Bo.

A red light came from one of the Elders.

It turned into a sparkling scarlet net as it tried to cover Pang Bo.

Pang Bo’s current aura was still and deathly.

Only his two eyes seemed to have life as they flashed with green light.

He reached out his hands up to the sky as if he wanted to tear apart the scarlet net.

Another Elder’s body emitted rays of violet light.

A violet-gold eight trigram mirror appeared within his hand.

When it shone on Pang Bo, violet light shot out, immediately enveloping Pang Bo and keeping him locked in place.

Hazy violet air circled around him.

Whoosh.

The scarlet net descended, securely binding Pang Bo.

Elder Wu Qingfeng walked up, only pointing out a sword-like finger.

Light shot out, and divine energy sealed Pang Bo, making it impossible for him to move at all.

Seeing the Elders easily capture him with smiling expressions, Ye Fan finally relaxed.

This probably wouldn’t become a problem.

Dong.

The muffled sound once more sounded from the volcano, but this time, Ye Fan was prepared.

Using the Dao Scripture’s mystical arts, a golden splendor blossomed from his Sea of Bitterness, flowing around his heart.

It instantly made him feel much better, not like the previous times when he felt sharp pains.

Ye Fan carefully watched, and saw that the powerful beasts couldn’t help but tremble, and even the bodies of the Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Elders turned rigid.

This amazed him; after eating the sacred fruit and drinking from the divine spring, his body had truly transformed.

His cultivation base couldn’t compare to those who had connected to their Wheel of Life, but when comparing physical bodies, he didn’t seem to be much weaker at all.

Dong, dong, dong… The muffled sound rang out three consecutive times, with the time interval between each beat becoming shorter.

The lava was surging and blazing rays of light shot into the sky, turning night into day.

At this moment, the lava overflowed, and that bright ancient palace floated out, releasing a powerful Life Qi.

On top of the volcano, the Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Sect Leader and all four Grand Elders all blossomed with light, slowly advancing forward.

On the other side, the Greater Demons who had taken human form also advanced fearlessly, unblinkingly staring at the ancient palace.

Only once they arrived at the volcano’s crater did their gaze finally fall on the human cultivators.

The scaled-arm large man shouted towards the Sect Leader, “Your human race is being too excessive.

These ruins were supposed to split between us.

You already have the Spirit Ruins Paradise, but now you come to fight over our territory’s immortal depository.

Do you want to cause a fight?” That three-meter tall man with a bull’s horn on its head also shouted, “If you want to fight, you can always come try!” The Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Sect Leader and its four Grand Elders were not cowed.

One of them replied, “These ruins were originally left behind by our human race.

Now that something so precious has appeared, us coming to see if it has any predestined affinity with us is very reasonable, don’t you think?” “These primal ruins are our land.

We naturally can’t let you easily come steal our treasures!” the armless golden-winged maiden with golden hair cold shouted.

“If you humans want to try it out, don’t blame us for not being polite!” “These are our human race’s ruins.

You guys are just borrowing it to live on.

How can it be considered your land?” The Spirit Ruin Paradise Sect Leader was not at all afraid.

Although he spoke very calmly, his words possessed a frightening loftiness.

“My Flood Dragon clan’s ancestors passed on information to us before they died.

This place is not at all your human race’s land, it was the demon race’s imperial capital during its golden age.

Everything here has no relationship to you.” The old Flood Dragon with a single horn on its head and claws on its stomach might not have taken human form, but it was still able to speak human words.

Its strength was not weaker then the others here, it was just that it wasn’t accustomed to changing out of its beast form.

“Impossible, all the buildings here and built in a human style, how could it have any relationship to the demon clan?” questioned one of the Spirit Ruin Paradise’s Grand Elders.

Both sides refused to concede to the other, all wanting to target the ancient palace in the lava.

Dong.

The interior of the ancient temple emitted the muffled sound, and even the Greater Demons and the Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Sect Leader’s group were almost not able to bear it at such a close distance, causing their faces to turn ugly.

The flaring lava appeared exceptionally bright and red as it continuously surged, appearing just like crimson blood.

That resplendent ancient palace slowly rose, gradually leaving the volcano’s crater.

One of the Greater Demons wanted to charge forward, but he was held back by the old Flood Dragon.

“We’ve already waited many days, this amount of time is now nothing.

Let it naturally disperse its ancient restrictions.

Otherwise, if you were to meddle there might be some unexpected mishaps.” “Demon writing, it’s our demon race’s writing!” Just at this moment, the three-meter tall huge male with two horns cried out, “Look, it’s the demon race’s imperial script!

It was definitely left behind by the previous generation’s Demon Emperor!” The entire palace was made from five-colored divine jade, making it a sparkle with bright light.

Ancient characters were carved throughout it.

Some characters were shaped like a dragon or phoenix, some were shaped like a Black Tortoise or qilin; they were definitely the demon race’s imperial script from before the Ancient Desolation.

“Does your human race have anything left to say?

Hurry up and leave.

This was left behind by one of my demon race’s Great Emperors from before the Ancient Desolation; it has nothing to do with you.” At this moment, the ancient palace was glowing with divine light, releasing a frightening majestic air.

Five-colored divine radiance drifted through it, making it appear extremely extraordinary.

The Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Sect Leader didn’t have any reaction towards those words.

He carefully examined the ancient temple and in the end, he seemed to think of something and an excited expression appeared on his face.

“I figured it out!

This is the tomb of the Eastern Wasteland demon race’s last Great Emperor!” The Greater Demons heard this, every single one them were shocked, all of them carefully observing the palace.

That old Flood Dragon stood up and studied the palace for a while before saying in a trembling voice, “It really is the tomb of our demon race’s Great Emperor.

It’s exactly the same as the ancestors described!” None of them had thought that this ancient palace made from five-colored divine jade was the burial ground of the last Great Emperor of the demon race.

It had actually hidden itself deep beneath the volcano, and only today when the seal had weakened did it rise up with the surging lava to once more see the light of day.

“The Eastern Wasteland’s Great Emperor which unified the demon race…yes, it’s definitely him!” The Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Sect Leader continuously muttered, his expression appeared absent-minded.

The Greater Demons immediately felt that they were even more correct, and the old Flood Dragon said, “Since you know that this place is the tomb of one of our demon race’s divine emperors, you guys can scram now since it has nothing to do with you.” The other Greater Demons also exploded out with their power and might, filling the sky with surging Demonic Qi, shrouding the entire starry sky with a murderous air.

The Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Sect Leader recovered from his dazed expression and seemed to be even more excited than the Greater Demons.

In a shuddering voice, he said, “Although this is the burial ground of the demon race’s Great Emperor, there is an extremely precious treasure of our human race that we must obtain today.” “Bullshit!

This is the tomb of my demon race’s God Emperor, how could it have one of your human’s treasures?

You’re obviously just trying to steal from the tomb!” The Greater Demons all bared their anger, all advancing forward and blocking the Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Sect Leader and prepared to attack at any moment.

The Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Sect Leader’s expression was very calm as he said, “I’m telling the truth.

Many years ago, the Eastern Wastelands’ demon race’s Great Emperor luckily succeeded in uniting the countless demon clans together, creating an enormous threat to the human race.

At that time, the Eastern Wastelands’ human race’s most precious treasure was lost, and it was said that it was taken by the Demon Emperor.

There was also that immortal cultivation technique that shook the Eastern Wastelands – the Dao Scripture.

It was separated into different parts at that time, and the most important section was lost.

Later generations found proof that indicated this was all caused by the demon race’s Great Emperor.

Now, the Eastern Wastelands’ most precious treasure, as well as the most important section of the Dao Scripture, will both appear today!” These shocking words dazed the Greater Demons, before passionate blazes ignited in their eyes.

Even though the demon race couldn’t cultivate the Eastern Wasteland’s most profound immortal cultivation technique, the Dao Scripture, they would definitely make sure that it was left behind.

And as for the precious treasure, if it truly did exist, they naturally wouldn’t let it slip by them.

The Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Sect Leader didn’t show the slightest amount of fear in the face of the Greater Demons obstructing him, and he actually took a large step forward.

Dong.

The ancient palace made of five-colored divine jade once more released the muffled sound, and the seal’s strength was rapidly losing strength.

It had nearly completely risen out of the volcano’s crater, and red clouds and five-colored divine light roved around its halls.

The Eastern Wastelands demon race’s last Great Emperor’s tomb was about to completely reappear within this world.

At the bottom of the volcano in the buildings, the Lightning Bird and the other super beasts and the Spirit Ruins Paradise’s Elders were all unable to hold back, slowly walking up the volcano.

All of this entered Ye Fan’s distant eyes.

His was very nervous, but he didn’t have the necessary strength to go and contest with them.

All he could do was quietly and calmly watch.
