# Chapter 531: Ruthless Person's Burial Ground

"The divine medicine is right in front of us, damn it, but we can't get close!" Big Black Dog said angrily.

Without the protective array patterns of Emperor Void's corner formation, they would have long since been unable to withstand it, their bones and flesh about to split apart under the terrifying killing intent of the ancient coffin.

Not to mention Black Emperor, even Ye Fan and the Battle Saint Ape were helpless. Having come this far, retreating would be truly unwilling.

"Could it be that the coffin contains the corpse of an ancient Great Emperor..." Big Black Dog thought of this possibility and shuddered.

The vermilion ancient coffin lay suspended in the void, buried under many Divine Source blocks. The aura of the desolate ancient times rushed toward them, as if they were standing on the primeval earth.

In a daze, ancient trees towered to the heavens, savage dragons and primordial creatures roamed everywhere, the vast land covered in smoke and flames of war. The great wilderness was filled with endless battlefields, until finally an ancient Great Emperor emerged and pacified the eight wastelands.

Big Black Dog jumped up as if someone had stepped on its bald tail, saying, "Look carefully for any markings. Could it really be a Great Emperor?!"

At this moment, it was trembling with fear, feeling a dread in its heart, even having the impulse to flee, instinctively terrified and panicked by the ancient Great Emperor.

"There are no markings..." Ye Fan muttered to himself. They circled the ancient coffin from afar but found no clues.

"It's fine. The ancient Great Emperors are all dead. Whoever it is, there's no need to fear." Big Black Dog forced itself to calm down, trying to bolster its courage.

In the present age, there were no longer any ancient emperors or human ancient Great Emperors. After calming down, although they still felt wary, they were no longer so terrified.

Ye Fan, Black Emperor, and the Battle Saint Ape all extended their divine thoughts, carefully probing to find out the truth.

But they all shuddered almost simultaneously, their faces turning deathly pale. That invisible killing intent even severed their spiritual awareness, nearly destroying their divine thoughts.

They couldn't penetrate inside and could only close their eyes to sense the aura it emitted, using that to deduce everything within the vermilion great coffin.

"Father..."

No one knew how long passed before the monkey cried out in shock, his face full of astonishment, extremely excited, his body actually trembling.

In the ancient coffin, he saw the old Battle Saint Ape, lying quietly, motionless, the supreme majesty of the ancient emperor surging forth.

"Emperor Wu Shi!"

At the same time, Big Black Dog also cried out in shock, its face full of shock, its copper bell-like eyes wide open, also trembling.

They had respectively seen the Saint Emperor and the ancient Great Emperor, both stunned speechless, feeling their auras.

"Why do we see different things?" The monkey asked suspiciously.

The ancient corpse in the coffin could actually affect people's minds, evoking feelings of reverence, making one fear it.

"Kid, what did you see?" Black Emperor pressed.

Ye Fan opened his eyes and said, "I only saw chaos, nothing else. There's no corpse inside."

Three different results. They looked at each other, combined their divine thoughts to carefully sense, and finally showed expressions of shock.

Inside the ancient coffin was half a corpse, as if it had been severed, blood dripping, white bone stubble stark, as if it had just been placed there not long ago.

"Could this be the truth?"

They confirmed repeatedly but could only see a blurry half-corpse, long cold for many years, without a trace of life.

"None of the ancient Great Emperors survived..." Big Black Dog sighed deeply and fell silent for a long time.

"What do you want to say?" Ye Fan asked.

"Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, exhausting the ultimate changes of heaven and earth's mysteries, yet only leaving behind a corpse. Not a shred of suspense—all the ancient Great Emperors have died." Big Black Dog sighed.

"Human Great Emperors and ancient emperors share the same fate!" The Battle Saint Ape also lamented.

Black Emperor's expression was complicated. It stared at the True Dragon Immortality Medicine, pondering incessantly, as if thinking of many things.

The ancient Great Emperors had never met each other. One would return to the yellow earth before another would emerge, leaving many people regretful.

The ancient emperors were the same. There had almost never been a period when two ancient emperors appeared simultaneously. They all emerged in separate eras, making comparison difficult.

"Nan Gongzheng has also entered!" Ye Fan's eyelids twitched as a warning sign arose in his heart.

At the entrance of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, a man with hair as white as snow, extremely heroic, appeared in the ancient cave, disappearing with each step. It was the human Great Power Nan Gongzheng.

"It's fine. Emperor Void's array patterns are very special. I've already activated them, hidden in the void. He can't find us," Big Black Dog said.

"We should avoid him for now," Ye Fan said.

"Alright. Time is tight. Let's enter the depths of the True Dragon's old nest to find the immortal treasure." Big Black Dog almost turned back at every step, staring at the True Dragon Immortality Medicine, but there was nothing it could do.

Nan Gongzheng rushed toward the vermilion ancient coffin. His purpose was obvious, but he couldn't get close either. He paused with each step. Powerful as he was, blood marks appeared on his body.

But he didn't give up. He moved forward unwaveringly toward the ancient coffin, wanting to get close.

"His heart is as firm as iron. He'd rather die than reach the ancient coffin. Is he trying to pick the Immortal Divine Medicine, or is he after what's inside the coffin?" Ye Fan was surprised.

"It doesn't matter. He has no way to get close. If he continues, he will surely die." Big Black Dog was very confident.

They advanced several li. Ancient caves spread out in clusters, the dragon nest vast and immense. During this process, they saw another large Divine Source block, sealing an old man with white hair inside.

Although he looked very peaceful, it made people tremble. The old man in the Divine Source was like a vast river of stars, capable of destroying this world!

"Oda woku mi..." Suddenly, a voice sounded behind them.

"Damn, what kind of bird language is that!" Big Black Dog muttered, then its body stiffened as it came to its senses and slowly turned to look.

Without a doubt, ancient creatures had discovered them. That was the language of the ancient era.

Ye Fan's heart also pounded violently as he turned around to look. Only the monkey remained relatively calm.

In a dragon-shaped ancient cave, a young man of eleven or twelve years old emerged. Although he was a humanoid creature, he was densely covered with purple scales. His eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of childishness.

On his forehead grew a purple vertical eye, radiating clear light. It was precisely because of this eye that he could see through the void array patterns and spot them.

"Yalu da guxi..." The young man walked out of the ancient cave and continued speaking.

"What is he saying?" Ye Fan asked.

"He's asking which race we belong to and how we got in," the monkey replied.

"Alu ye ma." Black Emperor suddenly opened its big mouth and spat out these few words, while a flash of light appeared in its hand, revealing a purple divine token.

"Guni a lu ye ma?" The ancient tribe young man seemed very shocked, staring blankly at them.

"Alu ye ma!" Big Black Dog nodded solemnly.

Ye Fan was completely confused. How could this dead dog also speak the ancient language? It even intimidated the young man, putting on an air of superiority.

"What is it saying?" he asked the monkey in confusion.

"It says it is... a descendant of the Immortal Emperor." The monkey was also very surprised, staring fixedly at the purple divine token in Big Black Dog's hand, not moving his eyes. "It really is... an ancient emperor's token!"

The Immortal Emperor was just a legend in the ancient era, frighteningly ancient. It was said he had almost surpassed the gods, the god in the hearts of all ancient races!

Ye Fan was dizzy. This dead dog really dared to say anything, but the purple ancient emperor's token in its hand truly intimidated the other party.

The young man's eyes almost popped out as he stared at the mysterious ancient token, his mouth agape, unable to speak.

"This is a divine token obtained from the Immortal Mountain. I only learned a few ancient bird language phrases. Help me bluff him," Big Black Dog said to the monkey, baring its teeth.

"Too..." The monkey trembled with excitement, staring at the purple divine token, his voice shaking as he said, "Did the Immortal Emperor really exist?"

"Monkey, say something!" Big Black Dog urged anxiously.

"It really looks like the legendary ancient emperor token of the Immortal Emperor..." The monkey's eyes went straight.

The Immortal Emperor, in the hearts of ancient races, surpassed mythology. It was difficult to determine if he had ever existed. He was the supreme deity in the hearts of all races.

Beside them, the young man stared fixedly at the ancient emperor's token, then actually knelt down, his fingers trembling as he wanted to touch the purple divine token.

"Guda lina!" Big Black Dog braced itself and muttered another phrase.

"This is undoubtedly an ancient emperor's token. It contains a mysterious aura that cannot be imitated!" The monkey stroked it excitedly, turning it over and over. His father had a Battle Saint Emperor's token, but unfortunately, it was lost in the ancient era, and he had never obtained it.

The kneeling young man muttered continuously, speaking a long string of words. Only through the monkey's explanation could they understand their meaning.

This purple divine token had a great connection with the legendary Immortal Emperor because his name was inscribed on it, along with an eternal imperial mark.

"It might be a divine token carved by an ancient emperor who revered the Immortal Emperor..." After careful thought, the monkey made this speculation.

Because the Immortal Emperor was too ancient. It was said he had left nothing behind. Whether he existed or not was hard to say. Even the monkey had doubts.

"Is this from the Purple Mountain?" Ye Fan asked.

"As long as it works!" Big Black Dog didn't answer.

Ye Fan's heart was shaken. The Purple Mountain guarded by nine dragons was indeed unfathomable. Even a token suspected to belong to the Immortal Emperor was found inside.

"Duo ge mi ga..." The young man excitedly communicated with Big Black Dog.

Big Black Dog had a face full of black lines, repeating four words: "Guda lina!" And it looked at the monkey almost resentfully, hoping he would speak.

The monkey calmed down and began to speak, communicating with the young man.

"Have him take us to see the immortal treasure. This is the dragon's nest. Let's see if there are dragon eggs or shed skins left in the deepest part," Big Black Dog said with shining eyes.

"He says there really are rare divine objects, but ordinary people can't see them. However, he says since we are descendants of gods, we might be able to see them," the monkey explained on the side.

Big Black Dog almost jumped up, its whole body trembling with excitement. "I knew it long ago! The dragon's old nest will definitely have immortal treasures left behind."

"He says he wants to awaken his father king to take us to see them," the monkey added.

Big Black Dog's black face almost turned green. If an ancient king awakened, unless an ancient Great Emperor was resurrected, no one could save them.

"Tell him not to disturb the king..."

The monkey naturally understood. They communicated for a long time and walked together toward the deepest part of the dragon nest.

Although this young man was born in human form, his strength was not deep. He was too young, so the scales on his body hadn't faded yet, but he was a genuine royal clan member.

The monkey itself was an ancient royal clan. Ye Fan was also a humanoid creature. Big Black Dog held the ancient emperor's token. The young man didn't think much of it.

After advancing several li, a shocking killing intent came from an ancient cave. Ye Fan, Black Emperor, and the monkey's bones all creaked.

Beside them, the young man was also fearful, his body trembling as he detoured far around that ancient cave.

"Another ancient coffin!" Big Black Dog exclaimed.

In the ancient cave, many shattered Divine Source blocks buried a huge coffin, suspended in the void. The incomparably terrifying killing intent came from it.

"Why is there a second ancient coffin?" Ye Fan was also shocked.

The monkey communicated with the young man and showed a shocked expression. "He says there are four coffins in total, each more terrifying than the last. The last one is placed in the central sacred land of the dragon nest."

"What, four ancient coffins?" Big Black Dog jumped up in shock. "I know now. It's definitely the Ruthless Person. No wonder Emperor Wu Shi didn't choose this place. This is the Ruthless Person's burial ground!"
