Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

The Eternal Celestial Tomb stood amidst the starry sky.

Countless stars from ancient times embellished the boundless cosmos.

The sun blazed across the sky, with a dragon wrapped around it, turning into pitch-black chains that bound the Eternal Celestial Tomb.

Xiao Yi stood at the entrance to the second layer of the Eternal Celestial Tomb.

The massive iron doors had silently swung open, and a breath of ancient age assaulted him from within.

Roar!

A heaven-shaking roar suddenly erupted from within.

On the second layer's ground, a tomb as big as a small hill exploded with a bang, and a white bone claw tore through the tomb and crashed onto the ground.

Following that, a second white bone claw emerged, creating successive booming noises as they pushed outward.

Boom!

A colossal creature over thirty meters tall appeared before Xiao Yi.

This was a giant beast, its body reduced to nothing but white bones.

It had a form somewhat akin to a fierce tiger, with a purple-golden horn growing in the center of its skull, and a pair of bony wings that fluttered slightly, stirring up fierce winds.

Let's call it the White Bone Tiger King!

This White Bone Tiger King was Xiao Yi's first opponent in the second layer of the Eternal Celestial Tomb.

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

The White Bone Tiger King shook its massive head and sneezed twice, fixing its cold eyes on Xiao Yi.

Within its hollow eye sockets, two emerald-green flames flickered.

Roar!

With a furious roar, the White Bone Tiger King transformed into a streak of white light, rushing wildly towards Xiao Yi. In an instant, it was before him, its massive paw sweeping towards his head with terrifying white bone claws. Cracks appeared in the void wherever it went.

This White Bone Tiger King must have been a powerful beast of the Longevity Secret Realm in life.

"Get lost!"

In Xiao Yi's eyes, a divine light burst forth, and behind him, with a whoosh, the Divine Sealing Tree emerged.

"..."

The White Bone Tiger King saw the massive Divine Sealing Tree and its socketed green eyes flashed with shock and fear, letting out a mournful cry as it tried to flee.

Xiao Yi, sensing the White Bone Tiger King's fear of the Divine Sealing Tree, slightly curled his lips upward and snorted coldly, "Since you're here, don't think about leaving!"

Rustle rustle!

The Divine Sealing Tree behind him trembled.

The Sealing God Leaves upon it shone with dazzling golden light, spilling over and falling onto Xiao Yi.

His body was covered in a faint golden glow.

Sacred and inviolable.

In this moment, Xiao Yi was like a god in control of this piece of heaven and earth.

He extended one hand forward, his fingers spread in the air.

Unseen, strands of golden light formed into chains, and with a clattering noise, they bound the White Bone Tiger King tightly.

With a dull thud, the once mighty White Bone Tiger King crashed to the ground. Xiao Yi's hand clenched, and with a loud bang, the White Bone Tiger King was crushed to pieces.

As the White Bone Tiger King shattered.

A streak of light whizzed towards Xiao Yi and landed on the Divine Sealing Tree.

Rustle rustle!

The Divine Sealing Tree shone with golden light, quickly disappearing from sight.

However...

On the Divine Sealing Tree, where there were originally only 108,000 Sealing God Leaves, there were now an additional hundred leaves.

Xiao Yi uttered a sound of surprise, his face showing a touch of strangeness, "Killing the being from the second layer can activate the Sealing God Leaf? However, a White Bone Tiger King comparable to the Longevity Secret Realm can only be based on a hundred Sealing God Leaves, doesn't the energy required by the Sealing God Leaf seem too excessive?"

He shook his head gently.

Xiao Yi had no intention of slaughtering wantonly within the Eternal Celestial Tomb.

For this Eternal Celestial Tomb was his foundation!

The true treasure was not in slaying them, but in sealing the powerful beings inside to obtain their legacy.

"The entrance to this second layer is the burial place for beings on the level of the Longevity Secret Realm, but what other existences might there be within the entire second layer?" Xiao Yi murmured to himself, feeling quite curious, and then he walked towards the interior of the second layer of the Eternal Celestial Tomb.

The grave of the White Bone Tiger King had already been leveled to the ground.

No trace was visible.

The entire second layer was evidently more expansive than the first.

But...

The number of graves within the second layer of the Eternal Celestial Tomb was clearly not as numerous as those in the first layer.

Keep in mind,

The first layer of the Eternal Celestial Tomb contained millions of graves.

The second layer had only several hundred thousand.

Xiao Yi looked far and wide, taking in the scenery of the entire second layer at a glance.

The second layer possessed more graves belonging to the demon beast clans.

Like the White Bone Tiger King from before.

Among them...

Xiao Yi even spotted the grave of a renowned figure among the demon clans, the Yunmeng Demon Emperor.

There were also the Heavenly Blue Bull Python, the Pixiu, and so on...

These once-renowned powerhouses of the demon beast clans in the Qingtian Realm were also buried within the Eternal Celestial Tomb.

However,

Apart from the grave of the Yunmeng Demon Emperor, which was located on the very edge of the deepest part, the graves of demon marshals like the Heavenly Blue Bull Python and others were all on the extreme periphery.

Xiao Yi passed by the grave of the Yunmeng Demon Emperor, there were six or seven other graves in the deepest part of the second layer.

However...

The few graves in the deepest part of the second layer were wrapped in a mysterious energy, and even with Xiao Yi's current level of cultivation, he could not make out the inscriptions on the gravestones.

Clearly, these few beings were even more powerful than the Yunmeng Demon Emperor!

The Yunmeng Demon Emperor was a legendary existence from the Heaven Venerate Realm.

Could it be that within the second layer there were graves of those even stronger than those in the Heaven Venerate Realm?

Xiao Yi felt the Eternal Celestial Tomb was becoming more and more mysterious. Just the first layer alone had Martial God Zhao Wuji, and inside the second layer were so many powerful members of the demon beast clans. Even the creator of the Yunmeng Dynasty, claimed to be the strongest demon clan dynasty,

A sweep past.

Xiao Yi's gaze suddenly focused on one of the graves, his face revealing a look of confusion, and he frowned and said, "Strange, why would his grave appear here?"

That grave was indeed of the Martial God—Zhao Wuji!

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi dived down abruptly and landed in front of Zhao Wuji's grave.

He scrutinized the grave before him, ten times larger than the one on the first layer and constructed entirely out of blue bricks, his expression growing more solemn and laced with incomprehensible bewilderment. Zhao Wuji's grave had already appeared once on the first layer, where Zhao Wuji was suppressed by Xiao Yi, who then obtained the Boundless Sword Skill and some of his legacy.

How could Zhao Wuji's grave appear here again?

"Could it be..."

Xiao Yi's complexion suddenly changed, he thought of an inconceivable possibility, and even his heartbeat began to quicken. His eyes were fixed on Zhao Wuji's grave before him, he gritted his teeth, "Whether it is true or not, I'll only know by opening this grave and seeing Zhao Wuji inside with my own eyes. If it's as I suspect, then this Eternal Celestial Tomb... it's just too terrifying..."
