The huge square, although hidden in the mountains, had now been exposed to everyone with the collapse of the mountain top. In the middle of the square, a figure immediately attracted all the attention.
It was a man clad in green robes. He was handsome and had a tall build. He simply stood there, but still radiated a majestic aura that seemed to dominate the heavens and earth. Where he stood seemed like a special space that transformed and distorted according to his thoughts.
All the powerful men present looked at the figure. Regardless whether it was a Lower Earthly Sovereign or Mandela, who had just attained a breakthrough to Complete Earthly Sovereign, when they saw the figure, the spiritual energy within them could not help but vibrate at this time.
As for those beneath the rank of Earthly Sovereign, the spiritual energy in their bodies rioted. As they spat out mouthfuls of blood, they averted their gazes in horror. That existence, even just looking at him, would injure them. What terrible force was this?
Not even Mandela could have that kind of power. Thus, there was only one possibility regarding the identity of that green-robed figure… He was the legendary founder of the Ancient Celestial Palace, one of the invincible masters in the Great Thousand World in the Primordial Age, the Heavenly Emperor!
The entire Celestial Emperor’s Cemetery was enveloped in dead silence. All the strong men were staring at the green-robed figure, obviously shocked by his aura. This shock lasted for a long time before they gradually came back to their senses.
Some trembling voices rang with a strong reverence and a hint of greed, “That’s… that’s the Heavenly Emperor!”
These aces of Tianluo Continent were so eager to come to the Celestial Emperor’s Cemetery because they naturally were attracted by the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance. In other words, they coveted the Heavenly Emperor’s Rare Super Power, Qi Into Trinity!
If they could obtain it, they would certainly be able to become the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World in the future and step into the Heavenly Sovereign-level.
“Is that the Heavenly Emperor?” Mu Chen was also shocked as he looked at the figure. Who could have thought this hidden Heavenly Emperor had unexpectedly been exposed by Mandela and Lu Heng’s battle.
Behind Mu Chen, Xiao Xiao, Lin Jing, and Nine Nether stared curiously.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The silence between heaven and earth was broken at this time. After seeing the Heavenly Emperor’s figure, many of the powerful men could not bear it anymore, and immediately burst out and appeared on the periphery of the huge mountain.
Lu Heng glanced at Mandela but also quickly stepped back and approached the periphery. Mandela did not stop him this time. She just stared at the green-robed figure, complex emotions surging in her dark eyes.
In the past, the young Mandela was brought back from the void by the Heavenly Emperor. At that time, she was already dying but was forcibly rescued by the Heavenly Emperor. She had cultivated in the Ancient Celestial Palace since then.
When the Extraterritorial Race attacked, she also wanted to fight but was temporarily sealed by the Heavenly Emperor. Thus, she escaped the fate of destruction together with the Ancient Celestial Palace. The Heavenly Emperor was akin to a father or a brother to her. However, when she had awakened, everything had changed…
The Ancient Celestial Palace was destroyed, and the Heavenly Emperor had disappeared. Even she had been assaulted and injured severely by Lu Heng and had to run away, resulting in memory loss. However, she would not allow that traitor Lu Heng to obtain the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance no matter what!
Mandela clenched her fists as murderous intent flashed in her eyes. She then soared into the air and headed straight towards the mountain.
Mu Chen and the others immediately followed.
All the strong men converged beyond the mountain, and as they approached, they found that there were other things beside the Heavenly Emperor.
In the Heavenly Emperor’s hand was a long crystal-like sword. It was unusually simple, like a blunt and rough sword prototype, but anyone could detect the terrifying power emanating from this crystal sword.
A cold light reflected off of the crystal sword, and every beam of light was capable of cutting through space, hinting at its terrifying power. The crystal sword was under the Heavenly Emperor’s foot. There was a black head about half a foot in size. It was rotten, and only a dark skull could be seen. However, it was this seemingly decayed dark skull that made everyone present feel an unsettling chill, as if it contained an indescribable evil.
“That crystal sword… Is it the legendary Celestial Emperor’s Sword? It is said to be above the rank of Sacred Objects…”
“Is that black skull the Demon Emperor who invaded Tianluo Continent then?”
“It seems that the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Emperor perished together…”
“…”
Many of the strong men looked at the scene in the square and whispered. Some of their gazes flickered as they were tempted to take action.
Whether it was the legendary Celestial Emperor’s Sword or the Rare Super Power, Qi Into Trinity, or even the Heavenly Emperor’s remains, they held a temptation for people that could easily make them lose their rationality.
