Despite having the intention, Chong Huang and Fox Elder did not dare to act while looking at the Nine Bends Exquisite Ball in the hands of Prince Tianyu. The power of a Sage is terrifying, enough to easily crush them.
“Boom… boom…”
Just as they were shocked by Prince Tianyu, the earth that had just condensed the heavenly momentum began to tremble. The earth split into cracks, just like before.
Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, giant boulders kept rolling. Cracks covered the ground, and the terrain changed drastically.
With the changes in these forces, the sound of thunder kept ringing. In the void, surprisingly, countless lightning bolts flashed in the clear sky. Heaven and earth twisted, space collapsed, and cracks appeared.
An unparalleled sense of oppression pressed down, and the dim sky rendered this oppression to the extreme. The earth shook and mountains swayed, making everyone present unable to stand steadily, all having to use their techniques to levitate in the air.
“Boom… boom…”
Above the sky, ten thousand thunderbolts burst forth, striking down continuously. The earth split open with huge crack after huge crack. This massive change in heaven and earth shocked Chong Huang and the others immensely.
At the place where the heavenly momentum was condensed, the earth suddenly bulged upwards, rising continuously. As it rose, a palace appeared in the earth. The palace was not large, it could even be called small. It was half the height of a normal palace.
The palace was simple and grand, slowly emerging from the earth and standing on the ground. Earth shattering lightning struck it, unable to move it in the slightest. Only after the palace fully appeared on the ground did the collapsing mountains and cracking earth stop. However, the sky was still like black clouds pressing down on the city, oppressively making it hard to breathe.
“The Nether Palace!” Chong Huang shouted in terror, looking at the palace before him in disbelief.
“The Nether Palace?” Jin Chongyun did not understand and could not help but ask curiously.
At this moment, Chong Huang was trembling all over. Looking at the palace in front of him, his face was pale, and his lips were shivering.
Ye Chu and the others saw this scene and could not help but frown. They wondered what this thing was that could actually make Chong Huang become like this.
But soon, Fox Elder also started to tremble. His face was pale, and he stared blankly at the palace before him, shocked and unable to control himself.
“The Nether Palace is a palace built by absolute powerhouses for themselves after death. As the place where the soul returns after death, they are much smaller than normal palaces. Every Nether Palace has one thing in common, and that is that the palace is made to look like a coffin. Rumour has it that a coffin is a kind of heavenly and earthly wonder, which is of great benefit to the dead. It can nourish the corpse and soothe the restless spirits. Of course, this is just hearsay. But the dead of all generations have done this, so it must be true,” Chong Huang replied with a trembling voice.
Ye Chu and Jin Chongyun looked at the palace before them and found that it truly resembled a coffin. However, compared to ordinary coffins, this one carried the profound principles of heaven and earth, secretly responding to the universe. It seemed as if it was buried between heaven and earth.
The faces of Ye Chu and the others instantly turned pale, their backs covered with a chill. If this was truly the tomb of an absolute powerhouse, then…
The dead command utmost respect!
If it truly was the tomb of an absolute powerhouse, and someone broke in, what would the consequences be?
“Moreover, this palace coffin is even more extraordinary. Subtly, heaven and earth are suppressed by it, even though it has not displayed the slightest might. Just by sitting there, the profound laws of heaven and earth seem to entangle around it at this moment, as if under its control. All things in the world seem to submit and worship around it.” Chong Huang’s legs went soft as he thought of a possibility.
Ye Chu could not yet comprehend the profound laws of heaven and earth at this moment, but the most obvious feeling was that the living creatures in all directions, including the grass and trees, were all turning towards this coffin at this moment, bowing halfway down, as if bowing in worship.
The coffin stood there quietly, simple and grand without emitting a trace of aura. It looked like an old palace, but the more it was like this, the more it startled people.
Especially when seeing that all things were about to submit before it, a possibility involuntarily flashed through the minds of Ye Chu and the others.
“The tomb of the… the Supreme Sovereign!”
Jin Chongyun felt himself stuttering, his entire face devoid of colour, looking like a dead man.
Ye Chu felt his mouth go dry. If it was truly a Supreme Sovereign, they had really messed up big time. No one wants to be disturbed after death. A Supreme Sovereign is even more extraordinary. A figure like him must have left countless hidden tricks in his resting place to ensure his peace. Yet at this moment, they had actually broken in.
Ye Chu hardly needed to think. The place they were standing at this moment was covered by a strange power. It was impossible for them to get out!
Fox Elder and Chong Huang looked at each other, staring blankly at the palace before them, and let out a light breath, saying, “My Dao is being suppressed, and I feel my power fading. It will not be long before I am afraid I will become an ordinary person.”
This sentence made Prince Tianyu and the others smile bitterly and frown. They were the same, feeling the power in their bodies draining severely. Everything was being suppressed, as if heaven and earth would not tolerate their existence.
Hearing their words, Ye Chu was slightly stunned. Unlike them, Ye Chu did not feel his power draining in the slightest.
“Could it be the Chaos Cyan Qi?” Ye Chu wondered in his heart, thinking that the Chaos Cyan Qi nurtures all things. Perhaps because it was suppressing the effect, his power had not disappeared.
“Someone once said that the Purple Dragon Mountain is the resting place of a Supreme Sovereign, but none of us wanted to believe it. We thought there was not a single piece of news that could make people associate this with the resting place of a Supreme Sovereign. But we never expected this to actually be true,” Chong Huang said with a bitter and helpless smile.
This was too hard to understand. If it was the land of a Supreme Sovereign, there should be some clues. The problem was that the Purple Dragon Mountain had never shown any signs of a Supreme Sovereign.
In the eyes of the crowd, this was just a magical place. Unable to explain why, they attributed all this to the gods, thinking it was a place where gods had stayed, which made it so extraordinary.
Someone had once said this was the resting place of a Supreme Sovereign, but was refuted. Because if it truly was the resting place of a Supreme Sovereign, even if it could not be considered a true forbidden zone, it would at least count as half of a forbidden zone. How could it be like now, where despite some trouble coming up, people could still come up from time to time? This was different from the resting place of a Supreme Sovereign they had imagined.
A Supreme Sovereign shakes the world with their might. They should rightfully be considered forbidden zones, yet this place seems far too accessible!
But now this coffin proved that this was very likely the resting place of a Supreme Sovereign, because only a Supreme Sovereign could make all things submit.
The crowd looked at the coffin palace before them. Someone finally spoke and asked, “Then whose resting place is this? If we know, perhaps we can find out some of his temperaments, and maybe we can escape, rather than being trapped to death here.”
The crowd looked at each other, pondering in their minds, thinking that the style of the Purple Dragon Mountain was somewhat similar to that of a certain Supreme Sovereign.
“There is holy liquid, which makes it most likely the Female Saint of the Mortal Dust. But the style is vastly different from the Female Saint of the Mortal Dust. If it were her, any cultivator who comes within a hundred miles of her would definitely die.”
“It is not the Love Saint either. The Love Saint severed himself from heaven and earth back then and left no coffin.”
“It cannot be the Swift Wind Supreme Sovereign, but it is somewhat like his style. Back then, among all the Supreme Sovereigns, he had the least killing.”
