The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 173: The 10 Ancestors!
Chapter 173: Chapter 173: The 10 Ancestors!
Upon seeing Yang Yan being drawn into the vortex, his physique disappearing, the face of the Primordial Emperor, who wanted to kill Yang Yan, changed, and he initially intended to follow him in.
However, as the Emperor’s Power emanated from the vortex, he found himself unable to easily approach it.
Wanting to kill Yang Yan was something he found difficult to accomplish.
For a moment, he paused in mid-air, staring at the spot where Yang Yan disappeared, his whole body trembling.
*As the Emperor of the Dynasty, was there anyone he couldn’t kill if he wanted to?*
*Now, the other party had killed his four princes and retreated unscathed. To him, it was an utter humiliation.*
"It seems this Zuowang Divine Stele was refined by the Great Emperor as a key to open the Emperor’s Tomb,
and he comprehended one hundred and eight Zuowang Divine Steles, opening the Emperor’s Tomb,
proving that he gained the Great Emperor’s acknowledgment, and thus was drawn into the Emperor’s Tomb.
He would likely proceed directly to the deepest part of the tomb, see the Great Emperor’s corpse, and receive the Great Emperor’s inheritance!
Possessing endless trump cards!"
The Qi yun Golden Dragon next to the Primordial Emperor flew, facing the proximity of the Emperor’s Power.
Even with his unfathomable cultivation, he had to retreat swiftly.
"This genius not only had unparalleled talent but also was as wise as a demon.
No one among my sons could compare!" thought the Primordial Emperor as he continued to retreat.
A dull sound reached his ears, directing his gaze toward the position of the earth’s rupture.
"The old ancestor has awakened, likely startled by the opening of the Emperor’s Tomb!" The Primordial Emperor’s eyes gleamed. "Perhaps I can use the old ancestor’s power to forcibly open the Emperor’s Tomb,
and drag that kid out!
By then, not only could I take his life and avenge my sons!
Even a portion of the Great Emperor’s inheritance, the treasures within the tomb, could be mine, greatly enhancing my cultivation!"
Thinking of this, the Primordial Emperor immediately flew towards the fissure.
"Primordial Emperor Tang Qian, pays respects to the old ancestor, beseeching the old ancestor to come out and bring justice for me!" the Primordial Emperor bowed and shouted.
Tears welled up in his eyes, an expression of utmost sorrow on his face.
Rumble!
The earth thoroughly shattered, enormous coffins burst from the underground and landed on the ground.
A total of nine gilded coffins with several golden dragons carved on them.
Thud, thud, thud!
The coffin lids fell, crashing onto the ground.
Immediately, the scene inside came into the Primordial Emperor’s view.
Nine figures wearing Purple Gold Crowns, enveloped by Divine Origin.
The Primordial Emperor recognized them!
These were the nine ancestors of the Tianyuan Dynasty!
At the moment of their appearance, they simultaneously opened their eyes.
The Divine Origin covering them was absorbed by their withered physiques.
Their nine old, shriveled bodies.
Quickly became complete, returning to a middle-aged state.
The Divine Origin vanished, and the aura emanating from the nine spread out.
The coffins shattered, space twisted and oscillated.
The power they displayed was at least comparable to the cultivation at the peak stage of the immortal realm.
"Old ancestor, you should come out too!" one of the silhouettes coldly said.
As he finished speaking, a stiff body, featuring fangs,
wearing golden armor, and eyeless, emerged with a jump.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Primordial Emperor’s face showed a look of terror.
If not for the presence of the ancestors and considering his respectable cultivation,
he might have fled in an instant.
Because what emerged before him was not a human but a copse demon!
Copse demons held no emotion!
Especially towards their descendants, they were more inclined to strike, extracting fresh blood.
"Old ancestor, you frightened the youngster!" a slightly shorter figure among the nine emperors said.
"Heh, the youngsters nowadays are too timid.
Seeing me, they actually get scared," the old ancestor, turned into a copse demon, said contemptuously.
"Old ancestor, even we fear your appearance; there’s no wonder the youngster does." one of the emperors tried to mollify him.
"I transformed into such a horrific form to protect the Tang family bloodline, ensuring the Tang family’s dynasty would not perish.
You all should be more respectful and admiring of me,
not afraid!
If it weren’t for me holding down the dynasty, relying on just a few of you, the dynasty would have long been destroyed," said the old ancestor, turned into a copse demon, disdainfully.
"Old ancestor, your words aren’t pleasing to hear.
You were clearly afraid of losing your life after ascension,
so you abandoned your human body and became a copse demon," said a somewhat frail emperor.
The old ancestor, turned into a copse demon, opened his mouth.
"Youngster, do you want to die?"
His fangs were covered with dried red blood, looking extremely horrid.
"Old ancestor, we know what you’ve sacrificed.
If not for you holding down the dynasty as a foundation,
how could the emperors who ascended afterward have left in peace?
Don’t take issue with us youngsters!
Let this youngster explain what happened here to us old fellows.
If we delay any longer, without Divine Origin’s protection,
we will each disintegrate into ash, and it’ll be troublesome then!" interrupted a tall emperor.
"Alright, youngster, speak first," the old ancestor, turned into a copse demon, commanded.
The Primordial Emperor nodded, recounting the events that unfolded completely.
"Ridiculous, an emperor of a mere dynasty causing chaos within the Royal City.
Killed four princes yet walked away unscathed.
Your emperorship is utterly stifling.
If it were me, I would have killed them all long ago!" an ancestor scolded.
"What the ancestor says is true. It was I who didn’t consider it thoroughly, and it was my indecisiveness; it’s all my fault," the Primordial Emperor admitted with self-reproach.
"I hope all the ancestors will avenge my sons!"
He lowered his stance significantly!
The old ancestor, turned into a copse demon, with hollow eyes looked towards the Wentian Daoist School.
"Rest assured, anyone who kills my descendants will die no matter where they go!" the emaciated emperor coldly declared.
"Old ancestor, shall we open the Emperor’s Tomb immediately?"
"Wait a while, wait for a few more powerful individuals to arrive.
I feel something is off about this Emperor’s Tomb, the Emperor’s Power from within.
Not to mention it hails from millions of years ago, but the Emperor’s Power inside is not pure.
It seems to be a Half-Emperor Cultivation, producing half-step Emperor’s Power,
instead of the supreme power of a peak Great Emperor," the old ancestor, turned into a copse demon, remarked.
The Primordial Emperor’s eyes flickered.
"Old ancestor, doesn’t that mean it will be easier for us to enter?"
"Indeed, we shall first offer an artifact and open a path.
Then, lie in ambush, letting more people enter.
Use them as cannon fodder to pave the way, and then we shall enter," the old ancestor, turned into a copse demon, said decisively.
"Yes!"
"Then let us offer the artifact!"
Within the Emperor’s Tomb, Yang Yan walked along an open road.
This was a path leading into the mountains, and on either side of the road were not trees,
but rows of neatly arranged graves.
"So many graves?"
If not for their orderly arrangement, Yang Yan might have thought he had come to a Burying Mound.
He proceeded along the road, undeterred by the surrounding graves.
His sole purpose for entering was to meet the buried Divine Dao Emperor.
As he moved, the aura around him grew heavier and heavier.
The ground was no longer solid earth but a golden sea.
This was his Sea of Suffering!
"About to break through to the Other Shore Realm!" Yang Yan looked up.
In front of him appeared a long bridge connected by six Divine Bridges, spanning the Sea of Suffering.
To achieve a breakthrough, he needed to cross the Divine Bridge to reach the Other Shore. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Yang Yan stepped up onto the Divine Bridge, his Profound Qi surging.
It surged from the Sea of Suffering, entering his Five Hidden, penetrating his secret realm.
In a converging manner, it was incorporated into his spine.
"After the Other Shore, it will be Dragon Transformation!"
By penetrating the thirty-six vertebrae, Profound Qi could be drawn into the spine, forming the shape of a dragon.
Then the Dragon Transformation Realm would be reached!
"First cross the Divine Bridge, and reach the Other Shore!" Looking down from the Divine Bridge, he saw ethereal figures kneeling before the graves below.
Some were weeping, others repenting, and still others hurling curses.
"Are they grieving the graves? This Emperor’s Tomb is quite eerie!"
