Chapter 684: Lonely Tomb _1
The Thirty-Three Heavens Tower underwent another drastic change at this moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The towering structure standing in the enigmatic dimension began to emanate a thunderous roar all of a sudden. Like rolling thunder, an endless stream of chaos thunder came desolating down, as if a massive Heaven-Earth creation event was occurring.
No one knew the origin of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.
Moreover, the opening of the final heaven drove people mad with curiosity. They were frenzied to know, what lied within the last?
"Your Majesty!"
The Holy Turtle Demon Saint remarked, "The origin of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower is mysterious. In my long life span, I have seen its advent multiple times, yet I don't know its purpose. Thirty-three is an ancient celestial numeral concept, symbolizing the thirty-three heavens."
"Great treasures have appeared within the first thirty-two heavens. What lies within the last one? Perhaps it contains resources potent enough to change the course of the battle!"
Li Canghai said.
"Look, the Five Ancient Emperors have already entered the final heaven!"
Someone exclaimed.
The last heaven within the tower may conceal the most secretive entity of the entire Sacred Mountain. The Five Ancient Emperors, who initially wanted to launch a full-scale assault on the Divine Martial, also momentarily ceased due to the surprising transformation of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
"Enter the final heaven."
Upon the entrance of the Five Emperors, Chu Yuan also had to enter.
"Alright, I will lead the way for Your Majesty!"
Li Canghai bellowed loudly.
"Let's also follow and see what lies inside the last heaven." Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Upon seeing the Divine Martial Emperor enter, individuals such as the Wind Thunder Ancestor followed suit, their eyes flickering.
The forbidden area was already open. Within the vast chaotic storm, a formidable and peerless pressure rose, forbidding those with weaker abilities from approaching the final heaven.
"This is inside the final heaven!"
The space unexpectedly shifted before their eyes upon entering the last heaven. When they beheld the scenario inside, it cast a remarkable expression on their faces.
The sky was dark and gloomy, filled with dead silence, very unlike the treasure-filled area everyone had envisaged.
It was more like a graveyard here, a resting place for lost spirits, utterly different from the previous treasure scenes, as if they had arrived inside a burial ground.
Everyone was feeling extremely uncomfortable due to the oppressive atmosphere.
"The final heaven inside the tower turns out to be a land of death!"
Everyone exclaimed, baffling at the situation.
"The aura of God's dusk, the catastrophe of the world's end."
Chu Yuan said lightly.
Though the sky was dark, he appeared as the beacon of all in this moment. All the dead air that approached him was swallowed upon contact.
"Follow the Divine Martial Emperor!"
They closely followed Chu Yuan.
"Divine Martial Emperor, you have also arrived."
In the final heaven, the area was not large, and it was easy to reach the end. Suddenly, five towering figures appeared in front. It was the Five Ancient Emperors, watching as Chu Yuan and his team arrived.
"You guys are also here."
Chu Yuan looked at them indifferent.
"What exactly is hidden in this last heaven?"
The Holy Turtle Demon Saint kept guessing.
Despite his extensive knowledge, he was still unfamiliar with the Sacred Mountain. His eyes abruptly fixated ahead, exclaiming, "A grave, a lonely grave. This is a solitary grave. Could all the secrets lie in this solitary grave?"
Atop the grave mound was desolate, without a tombstone to reveal the identity of the grave's owner. It was a solitary, earth-piled grave mound.
But the final heaven devoid of any treasure and the presence of a single grave was enough to incite suspicion.
The Green Wood Everlasting Emperor's eyes flashed a hint of contemplation that quickly vanished as if he was guessing something.
"Could it be that the owner of the world of God Mountain, an unrivaled power, is buried in the solitary grave?"
Someone voiced out this shocking conjecture.
"There's a possibility, but if we truly want to know, we can only do so by unearthing the grave."
They all wanted to dig up the grave and extract its buried treasures but were hesitant for fear of releasing some terrifying existence and invoking a taboo.
"It seems like this is the biggest secret of the God Mountain. In the ancient times, it had also occurred once, although many God Mountains at that time didn't reveal the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. This time the biggest secret has surfaced. Even I, the Emperor, is very curious."
Whoosh!
Speaking, the Gold Crack Sky Emperor released a burst of golden light that looked like it was about to split the grave. But within the next moment, he turned around and attacked Chu Yuan with his Crack Sky Sword technique.
Chu Yuan glanced at him sternly, and his formidable pressure shattered the golden light.
Although the Fire Burning Sky Emperor was known for his violent attacks among the emperors, the Gold Crack Sky Emperor was the one with the ultimate strength and the fiercest killing intent among the five.
Facing his attack, Chu Yuan remained unshaken, casually slapped out a palm, causing a horrifying storm to break out.
"The space here is so steady!"
When the two emperors clashed, their power vibrations were exceptionally colossal. If it were in the outer Eternal World, it would have caused an earth-shattering catastrophe.
However, inside the last heaven, the space was as steady as an iron barrel, remaining unbroken.
"The area here seems small. Yet, the power of space is all condensed together, layer upon layer of compression!"
Upon arriving, the Holy Turtle Demon Saint started observing the environment.
In his turtle eyes, the void here was not a single layer; it was countless layers compressed together, forming the core of the entire God Mountain World.
At this moment, the full-strength attack of the Gold Crack Sky Emperor was unable to move Chu Yuan a nudge, causing the emperor's face to show an intense solemnity, "Divine Martial Emperor, you possess a strong method, now receive my next move!"
"Vast Heaven and Earth!"
The Gold Crack Sky Emperor attacked again, he swiped his palm like a divine blade, and amidst the golden light, he directly chopped down.
"Come."
Chu Yuan also raised his palm, their hands crashing against each other within the next moment.
The heart of the Gold Crack Sky Emperor sank. The Divine Martial Emperor was like a rock in the universe. No matter how much he slashed, the latter remained unscathed, causing the emperor to grow even more fierce. His attack pattern changed, leading to a golden storm that swept across the area.
"Sky Split!"
His attack, Sky Split, was so powerful that it could split the heavens and earth. This was his ultimate attack. Even the Earth Yellow Emperor among the Five Emperors, known for his sturdy defense, would not dare to confront Sky Split directly.
Yet, Chu Yuan showed no fear.
An endless aura of the Emperor was releasing from his body. He swung his fist, representing the Human Emperor's supremacy, and sent it out crashing.
Despite the Gold Crack Sky Emperor boasting himself as an Emperor, his face changed dramatically upon experiencing the pressure of the Human Emperor. His Sky Split abruptly shattered, his arm went numb, and he retreated several steps back.
These steps proved that the Gold Crack Sky Emperor, known for his fiercest attack among the Five Emperors, was helpless against Chu Yuan.
Seeing this clash of just a few moves, individuals such as the Wind Thunder Ancestor also felt goosebumps.
They thought they were formidable, yet they felt puny before the Divine Martial Emperor, who managed to force the Gold Crack Sky Emperor to retreat.
"Divine Martial Emperor, impressive strength!" Gold Crack Sky Emperor said without rage, calmly, "However, you will certainly lose this battle."
"Only after the battle will we know," Chu Yuan responded.
At this moment, it seemed like the grave mound had cracked open and an ancient aura burst out, as if a great terror was about to emerge!
