The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 826: Chapter 826: The Tomb of the Demon Emperor is Opening!

Delaney Hunter swayed her figure and appeared in front of Carson Flores, her face filled with surprise.

”You’re okay? You scared me to death, I thought something had happened to you!”

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”Thanks to the Dharma Seal that senior brother Kash Lam used on me to mask my aura, I hid under the Spiritual Spring and wasn’t discovered by that Golden Lion or the other Demonic Beasts drinking water. I just waited until they were all gone before I slowly sneaked out.”

Delaney Hunter widened her eyes, ”You went to get the Spiritual Spring?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”I saw you didn’t take much, and since you led away those remaining Demonic Beasts, I went over to try to collect more. But then the Golden Lion came back, I hid underwater, only a few dozen meters away from it.”

With a heavy slap on Carson Flores’ chest, Delaney Hunter reproached him, ”I told you to stay down and not to be greedy, but you just wouldn’t listen.”

There were other people around, and Carson Flores didn’t mention the Divine Fruit that grew beside the pond. Facing Delaney Hunter’s heartfelt scolding, he could only respond with a sheepish grin.

”What’s the situation now? Is the Tomb of the Demon Emperor just below us?”

Delaney Hunter nodded, ”Yes, originally we planned to forcefully break into the tomb, but the Demon Race interfered with us and we couldn’t continue attacking the tomb. Now we can only wait. Something has happened inside the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, and it should open soon.”

After pausing, Delaney warned, ”Don’t hang around here. Once the Tomb of the Demon Emperor opens, this place will turn into a battlefield. If you want to watch, stay far back.”

Carson Flores was aware of his limitations. Here, all were significant figures from the Hollow Void Realm and Transformed Great Demons. He could not afford to provoke them, and even a casual blow from one of those Great Demons would be more than he could withstand.

Carson was about to reply when a sudden loud sound erupted from the center of the lake.

”Boom!”

The lake water transformed into countless water columns, shooting up hundreds of meters high, then the entire water level of the lake dropped suddenly. At the same time, there was a great disturbance underground, and the lakebed began to rise slowly.

Delaney Hunter’s expression changed, ”The Tomb of the Demon Emperor is about to open, get out of here quickly!”

Without hesitation, Carson Flores took flight immediately and distanced himself quickly, as did Kash Lam and others.

Suddenly, the colorful dawn light became even more intense, like a Sword Light, swiftly sweeping across the entire lakebed.

The lakebed rose rapidly, and the mud was all vibrated away by an invisible force, revealing the structure below—a golden spire, from which the colorful dawn light was emanating.

The entire golden spire was enveloped in light from a Formation. As it rose, a huge luminous doorway became visible to everyone.

The enormous golden spire had completely emerged from the ground, standing at least a thousand meters tall and looking quite imposing.

”Break the Formation; let’s get inside!”

Following Benson Bernard’s calm words, the Human Cultivators began to attack, with over ten enormous hands obscuring the sky as they pounded on the doorway of the golden spire.

Seeing this, the Demon Race did not interfere, as they too wanted to enter the Tomb of the Demon Emperor.

For tens of thousands of years, Human Cultivators have been searching for the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, and the Demon Race was no different.

The strength of the two sides was nearly equal; otherwise, they would have started fighting long ago and wouldn’t have waited until now.

The tomb was about to be opened. It was too late to seek reinforcements or ask for help; they could only await the opening of the Tomb of the Demon Emperor and then rely on their abilities to compete for it.

”Boom!”

With each pounding, the light on the spire’s doorway rapidly diminished.

Finally, with another thunderous slam, the light on the doorway shattered.

As the light broke, countless magical treasures flew out from the doorway, casting beams of light in all directions.

Benson Bernard and other Human Cultivators quickly acted, grabbing the magical treasures, and the Demons also made their moves to seize them.

As the magical treasures flew out in abundance, many were missed, causing the onlooking Cultivators to delight instantly. They transformed into streaks of light, chasing after the various magical treasures.

Carson Flores stood on a mountain peak, watching the scene unfolding, his heart shocked beyond measure.

This was just the beginning of breaking through the door. The number of magical treasures that had shot out indicated how many more could be inside the tomb.

As soon as all the flying magical treasures were seized, everyone rushed towards the golden doorway.

The Demon Race also charged over, and both sides began to clash fiercely at the doorway.

Benson Bernard clasped his hands together and pushed, instantly shaking a giant three-headed wolf to death, bleeding from all orifices. Despite being as powerful as a late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator, it was killed in one move by Benson Bernard.

A serpent woman rushed towards an old man, opening her mouth to spray venom. The Spiritual Energy shield that burst from the old man instantly dissolved under the venom, which enveloped him entirely, dissolving his flesh and even his Primordial Spirit before he could escape.

Carson watched the incredibly terrifying battlefield from afar, his heart profoundly shaken.

These were powers of at least the Late Phase of Divinity Transformation or even the Hollow Void Realm. Normally, just a stomp from them would cause the ground to tremble three times, but here, in an instant, several had died?

It was too brutal!

As Carson observed, a bright light shot out from the doorway, passing over the fighting crowd and flying toward the mountain peak where Carson was standing.
