Chapter 792: Demon Emperor
The people from Heavenly Lake all left, some alone, others in groups. This space was vast beyond measure, and there were certainly plenty of powerful treasures. Jun Moxi had obtained a long robe, and Yun Feiyang an ancient bell—such extraordinary treasures could be found here, so anything was possible. Moreover, the cave dwelling and tomb that Jun Moxi and Yun Feiyang had discovered might only have been the burial site of a powerful Venerable.
After everyone had departed, Jun Moxi and Yun Feiyang joined forces to level the cave dwelling and the mountain wall, completely burying the land, allowing those bones to rest eternally underground.
"Lin Feng." Jun Moxi looked at Lin Feng, as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Lin Feng gazed at Jun Moxi and Yun Feiyang, asking.
"We just entered an underground palace and obtained three treasures." Jun Moxi spoke, causing Lin Feng's pupils to contract. An underground palace—so within that cave dwelling, there was an underground palace.
"Three treasures." Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Besides the ancient bell and the golden long robe, there was a third treasure?
"Yes." Jun Moxi's mind stirred, and a pair of gleaming golden gloves appeared in his hand, shining in harmony with the golden long robe he wore, emitting a dazzling, brilliant light.
These gloves seemed to be part of the same set as the robe. How formidable. Just a single glance told him they were at least at the Heavenly Artifact level, far surpassing the Spirit Artifacts and Mysterious Artifacts he had obtained before.
Jun Moxi handed the golden gloves to Lin Feng. Lin Feng took them, and a faint flow of true essence circulated, causing a burst of golden light to flare up, brilliant and dazzling. The gloves radiated an aura of indestructible sharpness—truly terrifying.
"I have a feeling that even the Blood Drinking Sword is far from reaching the level of these gloves," Lin Feng thought to himself. He took out the Blood Drinking Sword, and a flash of light streaked across the golden gloves. A crisp sound rang out, and the gloves emitted a strange radiance. When Lin Feng examined them again, there wasn't even a scratch.
He handed the gloves back to Jun Moxi, but Jun Moxi smiled and shook his head: "Lin Feng, I have the robe, which is indestructible, and my Undying Martial Soul. Having these gloves as well would just be a waste of a divine treasure. You keep them."
"I don't need them." Lin Feng shook his head. He was a sword cultivator with immense offensive power; these gloves wouldn't bring out their strongest effect in his hands.
"You can give them to someone else." Jun Moxi said with a carefree smile, his gaze inadvertently glancing at Tang Youyou. Lin Feng's eyes froze, and then he gave a bitter smile.
Jun Moxi, a man of vast righteousness, could have directly given the gloves to Tang Youyou, but he didn't. Instead, he gave them to Lin Feng first, for Lin Feng to pass on. Lin Feng understood—Jun Moxi was trying to bring him and Tang Youyou together.
"Youyou, take these gloves." Lin Feng handed the gloves to Tang Youyou, not refusing Jun Moxi's goodwill, acting with unrestrained freedom.
Tang Youyou was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Feng, then at Jun Moxi. A brilliant smile spread across her face. She didn't say any polite words and simply took the gloves. She was deeply moved. It was a rare thing for Jun Moxi, Lin Feng, and the others to have such a bond. This kind of carefree, unrestrained camaraderie, where they didn't care about material things, was incredibly rare among martial cultivators. These people truly didn't care—even about an extremely precious treasure. This was true connection.
"Lin Feng, in the underground palace, we also learned a huge secret." Yun Feiyang looked at the group with a smile, drawing Lin Feng's attention again.
"What secret?"
"This space is indeed the world of an Emperor. Within this boundless space, there truly is a tomb—an Emperor's tomb!" Yun Feiyang spoke, and a sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. The rumors were true. This was an Emperor's world, and within it lay an Emperor's tomb.
"When we entered this space, we saw many corpses, all killed by a shockwave, without even time to react. Because this space once witnessed a great war—a battle between two Emperors." Yun Feiyang added, completely capturing Lin Feng's attention. A battle between two Emperors—how terrifying.
"This space world belonged to an Emperor's independent realm. That Emperor, supreme and unrivaled, had many Heavenly Martial Realm servants and many Venerables as his subordinates. Among these Venerables, four were the strongest, each with their own Venerable mansion in the four cardinal directions. The underground palace Mo Xi and I entered was the mansion of one of those Venerable seniors. There, we obtained three supreme treasures."
"Four Supreme Venerables." Lin Feng's eyes widened. No wonder those two treasures were so powerful—they belonged to the strongest Venerable under the Emperor.
"In the underground palace, the senior left a final testament. The Emperor of this space world had offended a terrifyingly powerful Demon Emperor, who pursued him relentlessly. With no escape above or below, he prepared everything in this world, even building his own tomb and palace. He knew everyone would die. That Venerable senior also knew, so before his death, he carved that testament."
Yun Feiyang revealed another shocking piece of news, causing Lin Feng's body to tremble violently. The Emperor of this space world had been hunted down, knowing he would die?
How terrifying. An Emperor—that lofty, cloud-dwelling existence—had been pursued with no escape above or below, finally preparing everything, even building his own tomb, just to die with dignity, to have a majestic burial place after death.
"Demon Emperor. Just how terrifying was that Demon Emperor's strength?" Lin Feng murmured. What kind of fearsome existence could drive an Emperor to such a state, almost pitiful? The Emperor and countless Venerables were all waiting here to die, knowing they were doomed.
Because the Emperor had offended the Demon Emperor, countless powerful Venerables and Heavenly Martial Realm experts were to be buried with him, accompanying the Emperor to their deaths in this space world.
This news was too shocking. Lin Feng could almost imagine the Demon Emperor breaking into this world, dominating heaven and earth—what a magnificent, splendid scene that would be.
"I want to know too, just how terrifying that Demon Emperor was, to force an Emperor to build his own tomb here and wait for death." Yun Feiyang shook his head with a bitter smile. He and Jun Moxi had been equally shocked when they saw the senior's testament.
"And where is this Emperor's tomb? Do you know?" Lin Feng asked.
Yun Feiyang shook his head: "In the Venerable senior's testament, the Emperor used great divine abilities to conceal his tomb's location. No one knows where it is, and it's certainly not easy to find. Otherwise, since others entered this secret realm before us, we would have heard of someone finding the Emperor's tomb."
"But..." Yun Feiyang paused briefly, then continued: "But the testament mentioned that among the four Supreme Venerables who followed the Emperor, he was one. The mansions of the other three are in this space world, located in four directions. These four positions are the best spots in this world, faintly forming an array."
"You mean..." Lin Feng's eyes flickered with a sharp glint.
"Among the four Supreme Venerables, this is one. His stone palace held three treasures. If we can find the mansions of the other three Supreme Venerables, we might gain enormous benefits too. And perhaps, we'll learn more about the Emperor's tomb."
Jun Moxi spoke, making Lin Feng's eyes narrow. That was right. If they could find the dwellings of the other three Venerables, even if they didn't find the Emperor's tomb, they could still gain great rewards and make the trip worthwhile. Of course, if they could get news of the Emperor's tomb, that would be even better.
At this moment, Lin Feng was filled with curiosity about the ancient history that had unfolded countless years ago—the Emperor's tomb, and the Demon Emperor!
Lin Feng and the others didn't know that far away, a second Supreme Venerable's mansion had already been discovered. Another great battle had occurred, with many experts dying. And the one who had found that Supreme Venerable's tomb was someone Lin Feng was very familiar with. He had also obtained a powerful treasure, one that killed without drawing blood, extremely formidable, driving those who witnessed it mad with desire. But no one had managed to take it from him.
