Chapter 62: Fracturing of the Demon Emperor’s Tomb
“Chi Chi Chi”
The sound of mystical rainbows streaking through the air continually resounded as cultivators could be seen flying in from the horizon, rushing towards the demon emperor’s burial mound. Ye Fan saw this but did not feel any excitement as he turned and ran off into the distance, slowly leaving the ruins and following the previous path.He came before the region where the five finger mountains were located.
“What’s going on……” Ye Fan felt extremely shocked, it was the same piece of land but the verdant and lush landscape filled with vigor and life had completely disappeared. Up ahead, there were five bare stone mountains with nary a grass in sight, totally barren. They were no longer big and had suddenly become much smaller, like five large boulders that were stacked together and placed there.
Moving past the five stone mountains and continuing forward, he did not lose his sense of direction nor did he see the otherworldly pure land. There was only loose rock and sand, barren and silent, the scene had become very unfamiliar and was filled with desolation.
“I did not walk in the wrong direction……” Ye Fan was sure that this was that plot of land however the scene before his eyes had completely changed and that piece of pure land had totally disappeared.
Ye Fan thought that he had entered an illusion as he closed his eyes and tried to use his own heartbeat to feel the beating heart of the demon emperor. However, he did not manage to detect anything and there only deathly silence, this was certainly a barren piece of land that lived up to its looks.
He carefully looked through the area and came to a helpless conclusion, everything was real and this area did not have an inch of pure land. Only sand and rock within the ten miles, devoid of life as a dead atmosphere hangs in the air.
“How could it be like this……” Ye Fan frowned as he once again came before the five stone mountains. Suddenly, he noticed a piece of fabric on the ground.
“It’s Pang Bo’s…….”
Ye Fan continued scrutinising the area carefully but was left disappointed. This barren piece of land had nothing and all traces of Pang Bo and the great demons were thoroughly gone.
After looking through the area for an unknown number of times, Ye Fan lethargically lay on the sandy ground as he carefully thought and hypothesized before finally sighing. With his current strength, he simply had no way of finding Pang Bo and even if he really found traces, he did not have the ability to save him.
Finally, Ye Fan chose to leave. He was unsure if he left today would he ever see Pang Bo again.
Arriving at the other side of the stars, the two people had shared life and death together as they supported one another. Now that they were split up in this manner, Ye Fan felt crestfallen as he walked away step by step.
Walking for several hundred miles, Ye Fan walked past the ancient ruins and was barely several miles away from the demon emperor’s burial mound. There were now many cultivators gathered there in the sky above, the tomb was floating about ponderously as lights shot into the sky.
At this moment, a rumbling sound could be heard as the sky seemed to quake.
An ancient war vehicle filled with an austere presence that was cast from molten gold and carved with dense and numerous Dao Inscriptions was being pulled by nine azure river dragons, giving off thunderous rumbling noises as it seemed to suppress the heavens as it charged forward, there was a strong fighting intent like a howling ocean as it surged.
In the distance, many cultivators took in a breath of cold air. Another impressive figure had arrived and several had their faces change colour, only the Ji family had expressions of glee.
Nine azure river dragons pulled an ancient golden war vehicle, roiling clouds and riding the mist as it hastily moved and stopped before the Ji family, it was absolutely silent thereafter.
No one had fully come to their senses before celestial music that had the sounds of nature drew closer, petals began to sprinkle down from the sky, sparkling and translucent with hints of fragrance as beautiful figures that looked like fairies drifting through the skies, their dresses were fluttering about and were seemingly otherworldly.
They had a fragrant carriage that was weaved together with divine flowers, it had brightly coloured decorations*. As it moved gracefully, flowers were raining from the sky, flickering and translucent making the entire ruins seem exceptionally beautiful.
[Idiom*: splendid]
Before the demon emperor’s burial mound, all the cultivators were shocked. Another fearsome individual had arrived, this ancient palace certainly enticed many strong cultivators to the extent that they all personally rushed over.
Ye Fan had already calmed down and although he had not found Pang Bo, he firmly believed that Pang Bo would not die and there would come a day when they would reunite.
“Become stronger, I will continue to become stronger and not let others control our fate!”
Ye Fan was frustrated but within his eyes a divine light could be seen that was exuding a firm and self confident radiance. Since he had already stepped on the path of cultivators, the current goal was to get himself stronger and only in this way would he be able to save Pang Bo.
He did not leave but rather chose to retreat several miles away and gazed from a high mountain that was eight or nine miles from the tomb. With his current cultivation, he simply did not have the strength to contest for anything and even the weakest person there could easily kill him. Choosing to observe from afar was only to increase his knowledge and experience.
At this moment, there were already countless cultivators and many people had acted but no one was able to open up the demon emperor’s burial mound. There were many cultivators that were already injured or killed.
The majestic ancient palace that was forged from multi-coloured jade was covered in numerous and densely packed demonic writing, a five coloured glow was being released as dragon, phoenix, black tortoise formed words seemed to be alive.
“A celestial killing energy that was laid down by the final great demonic emperor, under the weathering of time it has weakened considerably and the pulse that rules it is already in our grasp, it is almost time for us to act.” Before the demon emperor’s tomb, the jade carriage that was pulled by nine Qilin beasts had a cold voice that was being transmitted from it, it was not very loud and was somewhat deep yet the clear enough for it to spread out to all corners. This had actually caused most of the cultivators to feel a shivering feeling within them.
This supreme big figure was finally going to act!
“That’s right, it’s certainly possible to now open the demon emperor’s tomb.” A gentle voice could be heard as the nobody in the crowd noticed this lady’s presence. However, no one doubted that someone who dared to speak with the big figure within the jade carriage would certainly be an existence on a similar level.
