Chapter 2542 Tomb of Emperors
Some of the Ghost Immortals who were slower to dodge were affected by the golden light of the Soul Lantern and golden flames ignited in their bodies, turning them into ashes before long!
The Martial Dao Prime Body"s heart skipped a beat.
He merely probed the darkness over there out of cautiousness earlier on. To think that there would be dozens of Ghost Immortals!
The Martial Dao Prime Body had a grim gaze as he swept up the Soul Lantern and surveyed the surrounding darkness!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Instantly, tragic cries sounded from the surrounding darkness!
In all directions, ghostly figures could be seen fleeing in all directions from the Soul Lantern"s radiance!
Psst!
This time round, even the Martial Dao Prime Body felt a chill run down his spine and his hairs stood on end.
After spinning with the Soul Lantern earlier on, he saw hundreds of Ghost Immortals!
It was hard to imagine that there were so many Ghost Immortals hidden in the darkness around the two of them, waiting for an opportunity to strike silently!
If not for the Soul Lantern in his hands, the two of them would have been torn apart by the Ghost Immortals earlier on.
More than that, he was shocked and wondered what sort of a place this was beneath the chamber that could produce so many Ghost Immortals.
Could it be that the hundreds of Ghost Immortals were formed from the death of Emperors?
Could there be hundreds of Emperors buried beneath the chamber?
That speculation was way too terrifying. Even the Martial Dao Prime Body felt chills run down his spine when he thought about it!
At the side, Demoness Ji was already dumbfounded and speechless.
Hundreds of Ghost Immortals meant that hundreds of Emperors had died here—what sort of a concept was that?
The Martial Dao Prime Body took a deep breath and composed himself rapidly.
No matter what, he had to get rid of the Ghost Immortals first.
Otherwise, letting them hide in the darkness would be too much of a threat to the two of them.
At that thought, the Martial Dao Prime Body rolled up the Soul Lantern and placed it in front of him, blowing hard at the oil in the lantern!
The oil of the Soul Lantern splattered everywhere and scattered on the ground, purging away the surrounding darkness instantly.
"Soul Lantern!"
"It"s the Soul Lantern!"
Many Ghost Immortals shrieked and fled into the darkness.
Many Ghost Immortals were enveloped by the golden flames and burned into nothingness before long, vanis.h.i.+ng completely.
The Martial Dao Prime Body brought Demoness Ji and swept up the Soul Lantern before chasing after the remaining Ghost Immortals.
As the two of them advanced, the light of the Soul Lantern purged away the darkness and rows of mud b.u.mps could be seen on the ground beneath their feet.
Although there were no tombstones or markings, both of them could tell that the mounds were simple tombs!
The plot of tombs was not too big and the terrain was in the shape of a long coffin.
Hundreds of Ghost Immortals had nowhere to hide in the coffin-shaped tomb. The Martial Dao Prime Body caught up to them quickly and killed them all with the Soul Lantern!
The souls of those Emperors did not dissipate and gathered resentment, forming strange living beings like the Ghost Immortals. They were trapped here and could not see the light of day all year round, unable to enter reincarnation.
For them, death in the hands of the Martial Dao Prime Body was a form of relief.
After getting rid of all the Ghost Immortals here, the Soul Lantern absorbed a large number of souls and the oil was completely filled. The radius of light expanded significantly and illuminated the entire s.p.a.ce!
The Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji turned back and saw una.s.suming tombs scattered among them along the way. However, they were filled with an indescribable might and shock!
Although the plot of tombs was not big, there were more than a thousand tombs buried here.
Furthermore, those tombs might all be the tombs of Emperors!
Not all Emperors would transform into Ghost Immortals after their deaths.
Therefore, although there were more than a thousand Emperor tombs here, there were only a few hundred Ghost Immortals.
Even so, this scene had a huge impact on the mental states of the Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji!
Who would have thought that there were so many Emperor tombs beneath the tomb of the Fiend Emperor above?!
What happened back then to cause more than a thousand Emperors to die here?
If these Emperor experts came from the same era, it meant that more than half of the Emperors of this era might be buried here!
What was up with these Emperor tombs?
Back when Fiend Emperor Apocalypse established his tomb above, did he know of this situation beneath?
In the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he could not help but recall the turmoil that affected the trichiliocosm that Book Immortal Yun Zhu mentioned to the Green Lotus True Body!
At that time, Yun Zhu was not sure if the chaos existed either because almost all the records of the chaos had been erased, leaving only some blurry records.
Could the tragic death of the Emperors have something to do with that chaos?
Countless questions flashed through the minds of the Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji.
The two of them stood on the spot for a long time.
Demoness Ji seemed to have thought of something and frowned, trying her best to recall.
The Martial Dao Prime Body turned around and looked at the end of the plot of tombs where a thick stele dozens of feet tall stood.
The stele looked ancient and heavy, emanating a deathly aura of time. It was blank with nothing on it.
A thought flashed through the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body as he looked at the gigantic stele.
Although there were no markings on the stele, it gave him a feeling that the it was more like a tombstone that was used to suppress this place!
He did not know who established the tombstone, but it could resolve a doubt in his heart.
It might be because of that tombstone that the hundreds of Ghost Immortals were suppressed here and could not escape.
Right then, a loud bang sounded from the easternmost side of the chamber, as though a huge battle had broken out above!
Bang! Boom!
The tomb of the Fiend Emperor above was shaking violently and could collapse at any moment!
The Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji hid in the chamber at the bottom and would not be implicated.
"If I"m not wrong, Hidden s.p.a.ce and the others must have discovered the Flames of War Spear."
The Martial Dao Prime Body murmured softly.
Right then, dark clouds gathered in the firmaments outside and fiend qi coiled. A pair of gigantic eyes were hidden in the clouds as they glared at Bei Yin Mountain with a terrifying might!
The fiends around Bei Yin Mountain were shocked and knelt on the ground one after another, s.h.i.+vering!
Even Grotto-heaven realm Fiend Kings who sensed the aura from the firmaments did not dare to hesitate and knelt on the ground with reverent expressions.
Even they could not defend against that pressure!
A Fiend Emperor had appeared!
"Who killed my son?!"
Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao"s voice was filled with suppressed rage that caused one"s heart to tremble!
His voice reverberated through the skies of the Fiend Domain like thunder!
In the tomb of the Fiend Emperor, Fiend King Hidden s.p.a.ce and the others had just entered a chamber when something happened. The Flames of War Spear appeared and attacked them fiercely.
Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao"s gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the tomb of the Fiend Emperor and witness such a scene.
Suddenly, a gigantic palm extended from the clouds and covered the skies as it grabbed towards the tomb of the Fiend Emperor!
Boom!
Fiend Emperor Ling Xiao"s palm strike almost uprooted the entire Bei Yin Mountain and the Fiend Emperor"s tomb that was already on the verge of destruction collapsed instantly!
The might of a Fiend Emperor was extremely terrifying!
