Chapter 1140: Demon Emperor's Mausoleum

The cautionary tale of the Northern Continent demon race was still fresh in their minds; the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land now dared not relax their vigilance against the Dao One Sect at all.

After all, this group of humans was truly bizarre; they had never seen anyone hunt demon beasts like this before.

Yet, facing this Demon Emperor's worry, the other Demon Emperors showed no intention of retreating.

"Are you really scared like this by a mere Eastern Continent sect?"

"But the Western Continent demon race..."

"Heh, can the Western Continent demon race compare to my Heavenly Dragon Holy Land? Do not boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige. My Heavenly Dragon Holy Land is not the Western Continent demon race."

They wanted to say more, but as a loud boom came from the sky and a terrifying pressure descended, the five Demon Emperors of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land all looked toward the horizon.

The Emperor's Tomb had opened, and the surrounding restrictions had vanished.

As the restrictions disappeared, the scene within became clearer through the spatial rift.

Towering mountains, dark clouds covering the sky, and thousands of lightning bolts striking down, burning the peaks to a charred black.

And behind these black mountains, everyone could see stretches of continuous buildings.

This was the small world constructed by the Great Emperor.

However, the five Demon Emperors of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land didn't care about that; judging by the aura, this was clearly a mausoleum left behind by a Demon Emperor.

"Demon Emperor's Mausoleum..."

In an instant, the expressions of the five Demon Emperors changed.

If it were another Great Emperor, such as a human Saint Emperor or a malevolent Ghost Emperor, they might truly hesitate about whether to enter.

After all, the heritage left by a Saint Emperor or Ghost Emperor might not necessarily be suitable for them, the demon beasts.

At most, they would just fight over some treasures or elixirs.

But a mausoleum left by a Demon Emperor held a completely different significance for a demon holy land like the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land.

Immediately, the other four Demon Emperors spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"We must not abandon this Emperor's Tomb."

"Agreed."

Even the Demon Emperor who had just expressed worry about the Dao One Sect remained silent, clearly defaulting to agreement.

As for the Undying Holy Land and the Yunluo Holy Land, they looked on with sighs.

"How could it be a Demon Emperor's mausoleum?"

"A demon race Great Emperor?"

Only these three holy lands had come to the Eastern Continent this time; other holy lands had not come in person for various reasons.

Facing a Demon Emperor's mausoleum, the enthusiasm of the Yunluo Holy Land and the Undying Holy Land was halved, but since they were already here, they would certainly go in to try their luck.

Even if they could snatch some treasure, it would be a profit.

"Sect Master Qi, shall we act together?"

Li Zhengqing took the initiative to find Qi Xiong, suggesting they could act together; after all, the Yunluo Holy Land had experience in exploring Emperor's Tombs.

However, glancing at the arrogant-looking Yunluo Holy Land disciples not far away, Qi Xiong shook his head and refused.

"Many thanks, Brother Li, but we would prefer to act alone."

Except for Li Zhengqing, Wang Xiao, and Xiao Hanyi, the other Great Saints and disciples of the Yunluo Holy Land who had come all wore an air of superiority.

Naturally, the Dao One Sect wouldn't press their hot faces against a cold butt; they hadn't even invited the Yunluo Holy Land people to eat.

Only Li Zhengqing and his two companions would come.

Hearing Qi Xiong's answer, Li Zhengqing didn't find it strange and nodded.

"Very well, but if you need anything, you can contact me."

"Certainly."

Refusing Li Zhengqing's invitation, Qi Xiong gathered all the Dao One Sect members.

In truth, not many disciples had come—only the personal disciples of the Dao One Sect, along with a group of Elders and Peak Masters who had broken through to the Saint Realm, as well as Qi Xiong and Yu Mo.

In a place like the Emperor's Tomb, it was meaningless for ordinary disciples to go; they would likely just become cannon fodder.

One needed at least a Heavenly Human Realm cultivation base.

This was what Li Zhengqing had told Qi Xiong and the others earlier.

"You can stay on the starship."

Qi Xiong said to the personal disciples like Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie, as well as Ye Changqing.

However, upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads and refused, expressing their desire to go together.

Looking at their firm gazes, Qi Xiong was silent for a moment; without saying more, he nodded in agreement.

"Then let's set off."

The Dao One Sect, the Undying Holy Land, the Yunluo Holy Land, and the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land were the first batch to enter the Emperor's Tomb.

After they entered, the other major sects entered the Emperor's Tomb one after another.

The entrance to the Emperor's Tomb was like a teleportation array, or more accurately, a spatial passage.

After a dizzying sensation of the world turning upside down, the Dao One Sect members successfully entered the Emperor's Tomb.

Looking around, they discovered that the people seemed to have been scattered.

Beside Ye Changqing were only Venerable Hong, Qingshi, Xu Jie, Liu Shuang, Lu Youyou, and Wang Yao; as for the others, they were nowhere to be seen.

"We must have been forcibly separated by the spatial passage at the entrance."

Venerable Hong surveyed the surroundings and said calmly. This was not surprising; Li Zhengqing had mentioned this point as well.

The entrance to the Emperor's Tomb usually had chaotic space, and those entering could not be guaranteed to stay together.

Afterward, they tried the imaging array disk and sound transmission talismans, only to find they couldn't be used; the space here seemed to forbid it.

"Never mind, let's look around first. We'll find the Senior Brother and the others sooner or later."

Venerable Hong said calmly, then began to examine the surrounding environment.

Not a blade of grass grew, the land was charred black, and the sky was filled with dark clouds and lightning.
