Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The tomb chamber fell silent, devoid of any sound, yet still permeated with a bone-chilling cold.

Jun Wuxie turned to look at Mu Ciyin, noticing her staring at him somewhat blankly, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Esteemed Master Ciyin, are you alright?"

"Ah?" Mu Ciyin snapped out of her daze, reverting to her aloof demeanor, and replied, "This teacher is fine."

After saying that, she walked towards Jun Wuxie, but felt her heart racing uncontrollably.

"These people…"

She looked at the corpses that Jun Wuxie had shaken off the tip of his spear, their crimson fur having receded, revealing their original appearances. Some were middle-aged, others were young, all pale, their bodies somewhat shriveled.

"They are all cultivators from the Ming Universe, former powerhouses of the Sovereign Saint Realm."

Jun Wuxie judged based on the starry seas within their bodies, which did not contain dark energy.

"Descendant, thank you. We are finally free…"

A voice echoed within the tomb chamber, originating from the stone coffins, very faint and indistinct. Had he and Mu Ciyin not possessed keen hearing, they likely wouldn't have heard it at all.

"What exactly happened back then? Why were you buried in this tomb chamber, guarding the tomb's master? Having already transformed into beings of the Dark Abyss, why do you still remain here?"

Jun Wuxie had many questions in his mind. Would beings of the Dark Abyss willingly guard a tomb?

How could the will of the Dark Abyss curse controlling their bodies possibly agree to that?

"Heh heh, we were never the guardians of this ancient tomb, but rather treasure seekers who came here…"

The voice from the stone coffin revealed that they had landed on this island years ago and accidentally obtained the [World-Transcending · Qiankun Sacred Armor] in the dark-gold ancient hall on the island. However, they nearly died inside because of it, but ultimately escaped unscathed. Later, they discovered the sacred spring here and came down to explore.

When they were collecting the sacred spring, one of them opened the door to this tomb chamber out of curiosity, leading to misfortune for all of them.

"So, you're saying that you ended up lying in the stone coffins, becoming the guardians here because of that?"

"Yes, this ancient tomb is too strange, too terrifying. The tomb chambers behind this one likely hold unparalleled horrors. Descendant, you have freed us, so we do not wish for you to take risks. Stop here."

"This [World-Transcending · Qiankun Sacred Armor] is gifted to you. It is the only thing we have left behind, but it is severely damaged. We hope you will not despise it."

A blurry shadow emerged from the first of the seven-star stone coffins, holding a damaged, dim, and lusterless battle armor as it walked towards Jun Wuxie.

This blurry shadow flickered constantly, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"I would never despise it."

Jun Wuxie accepted it, gently stroking it. The sacred armor carried a heavy aura of time, as if telling the world how long it had endured.

"There is something we wish to tell you."

Other blurry shadows also appeared from the other stone coffins, clearly the divine senses they had attached to the stone coffins in their final moments of life.

"This island has a dark-gold ancient hall, and although it is dangerous, it holds many opportunities. Back then, we entered the ancient hall and obtained this [World-Transcending · Qiankun Sacred Armor] under very coincidental circumstances. At the time, the sacred armor contained some information. Analyzing that information, there might be a [World-Transcending · Qiankun Sacred Stone] within the dark-gold ancient hall. If you can obtain the sacred stone and learn a special forging method in the future, it might be possible to repair this sacred armor…"

Their voices grew softer and softer, their figures more and more blurred. By the last sentence, all seven figures had dissipated.

"Descendant, farewell, thank you…"

These were the last sounds they left in the world, echoing in the tomb chamber until they vanished.

"Throughout the ages, the passage of time, prosperous eras, are like great waves washing away sand, burying countless geniuses and outstanding talents…"

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but sigh, lamenting the deaths of these seven Sovereign Saint Realm experts.

It was extremely difficult to cultivate to the Sovereign Saint Realm in their era.

The environment of heaven and earth at that time was far inferior to the present, and the opportunities in the prosperous era could not be compared to this era either.

If they had been born in this era, these seven people would all have the potential to become Eternals, and even becoming Eternal Giants would not be impossible.

"One flower blooms, one flower withers; one flower opens, one flower fades. All beings in the world are constantly cycling between birth and death. Those who are washed away by the great waves of the era will always be replaced by those who come later."

Jun Wuxie sighed, walking towards the stone coffins in the broken seven-star diagram to examine them.

There was nothing in the stone coffins, not even the aura of the Dark Abyss had completely disappeared, as if they had always been empty, as if nothing had happened, just a dream.

Looking at the [World-Transcending · Qiankun Sacred Armor] in his hand, Jun Wuxie put it away, his gaze falling on the wall at the end of the tomb chamber, staring at the pattern.

Immediately, he stepped forward and placed his hand in the center of the pattern. Unexpectedly, with a gentle push, the pattern began to rotate like a mechanism, clicking and clacking.

Immediately afterward, a crack split from the top of the stone wall downwards, as if a long-sealed door had been opened.

In an instant, a strange, evil, and extremely cold aura rushed out of the gap, impacting him, causing him to feel a burst of palpitations.

In a fleeting glance, he saw the tomb chamber inside through the opened gap.

There were also seven stone coffins inside, identical to the ones outside, and there were also patterns on the ground, still the seven-star stone coffins.

The difference was that at the end of the tomb chamber inside, there was a high platform with a stone chair on it, upon which sat a fiend covered in crimson hair, grinning at him, revealing a gruesome smile.

The evil and strangeness emanating from those blood-red eyes startled him.

Jun Wuxie suddenly withdrew his hand, and the gap in the wall instantly closed.

At the moment of closing, he seemed to see the face of the crimson-haired fiend appear behind the wall, staring at him through the gap.

"It's actually a Divine Realm crimson-haired fiend!"

Jun Wuxie's gaze was naturally discerning, and with that fleeting glance, he saw the realm of the crimson-haired fiend.

"Divine Realm?"

Mu Ciyin also felt the terrifying evil and strangeness in that instant just now, feeling as if her whole person was about to fall into an abyss.

There was actually a Divine Realm fiend behind that wall, which was too terrifying.

That was only the second layer of the tomb chamber, what realm would the third and fourth layers behind it be?

"Let's go, let's get out of here first!"

Jun Wuxie stared at the tomb chamber wall for a long time, then turned around and pulled Mu Ciyin away from here.

The moment they left, the stone door of the tomb chamber closed automatically with a rumbling sound.

"Wuxie, who do you think the owner of the ancient tomb is? How could there be such a powerful Dark Abyss curse in his tomb, and why are those crimson-haired fiends willing to guard the tomb for him?"

Mu Ciyin looked at the closed stone door, her heart filled with doubts. Could it be that the tomb owner was a powerful dark creature?

"It is possible that he is a dark creature, but the probability is relatively small. The most likely possibility is that the tomb owner set up some kind of method, so that the crimson-haired fiends and the Dark Abyss curse can only stay here and cannot leave. However, these cannot be determined yet. Only after we go out and I determine whether there is a connection between the dark-gold ancient hall and this ancient tomb can I draw a conclusion."

Mu Ciyin nodded and said, "Are we going out now, or are we going to use the sacred spring and mother spring here to improve our strength before leaving?"

"Let's go now, this is not a good place."

Jun Wuxie said that although it seems that the crimson-haired fiend in the second layer of the tomb chamber cannot come out, the situation here has changed. The first layer of the tomb chamber has been broken by them, and it is difficult to predict whether there will be any changes. It is better to leave early to avoid unnecessary troubles.

They followed the cave passage that came in from the bottom of the pool back to the bottom of the sacred pool.

There is still a large amount of sacred spring here, but these sacred springs are not so pure. Looking at the bones at the bottom of the pool, people have a very unclean feeling.

Unlike the sacred springs he collected, which were all purified by the mother spring after reflux.

"Esteemed Master Ciyin, let's restrain our aura and slowly climb to a certain height on the pool wall, and then rush out. With our soul realm, we can almost perfectly control our aura from leaking out, and we will not be detected by those Primordial creatures beyond a certain distance."

"Yes."

Mu Ciyin nodded, and then completely restrained her own aura.

Jun Wuxie was also like this, but after restraining his aura, he opened the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace and collected all the sacred spring here, separating it from the other sacred springs, and then put the mother spring into it to purify these sacred springs.

The sacred spring at the bottom of the pool was completely dry.

Originally, Jun Wuxie didn't want to do this kind of draining the pond to get all the fish. If the sacred spring was retained, it might still give birth to a new mother spring after a long time.

But this place has been exposed, and there are so many Primordial creatures outside. Without the Dark Abyss curse, these sacred springs cannot be left behind at all, and they will be snatched to the last drop.

Anyway, it will be dry, so he will not leave it to the Primordial creatures.

He has no good feelings for the Primordial creatures on this island.

These Primordial creatures are very violent and bloodthirsty, especially unfriendly to the human race, and presumably they will not be friendly to other creatures either.

"Forget it, anyway, the sacred spring is with me. I only need to leave some and put it in the imperial dynasty to warm it up. After many years, it can still give birth to a mother spring. In this way, I can still preserve the root of the pure Yuan Supreme Sacred Spring for this world."

Jun Wuxie thought like this, and then nodded to Mu Ciyin. The two came to the bottom of the pool wall and climbed up along the pool wall.

Because they were worried about being sensed by the Primordial creatures guarding near the sacred pool, they deliberately slowed down their speed.

The sacred pool is very deep, several thousand meters.

They moved very slowly, climbing up little by little.

It took them half an hour to climb to the height in the center of the pool wall.

When they got here, they didn't dare to move and stopped.

Because this place is already very close to those Primordial creatures.

"Hmm? Something seems to be wrong with the Sacred Pool. Did you sense it?"

The voices of the Primordial creatures reached Jun Wu Xie and Mu Ci Yin's ears, followed by the sound of their footsteps approaching the Sacred Pool.

At that moment, Jun Wu Xie secretly issued an order to the Primal Avatar.

The Primal Avatar, who had been hiding all along, suddenly appeared and laughed at the Primordial creatures.

The Primordial creatures were just about to walk to the edge of the Sacred Pool, preparing to look down, when they heard a familiar voice and were immediately shocked, turning their heads abruptly, their pupils constricting.

"It's you!"

They simply couldn't believe their eyes.

Wasn't that human in the Sacred Pool?

How could he appear there?

They had been guarding the Sacred Pool, and not even a fly could escape their sight, let alone a human?

"How stupid are you? The Sacred Pool has another exit. I have now obtained the Mother Spring and the Child Spring, a great harvest. You have been guarding this place for months for nothing, hahaha!"

After the Primal Avatar finished speaking, he turned and ran.

"Chase!"

The Primordial creatures were furious. The black giant eagle was the fastest, like a streak of black light cutting through the sky. The other Supreme Saint Realm Primordial creatures also shot out like lightning, chasing after him.

"Wait, something's not right! Why is it just him? Where is the woman?"

Having only chased for a few miles, in just an instant, they realized something was wrong and became suspicious, immediately turning their heads to look at the Sacred Pool.

At the instant they turned their heads, two figures rushed out of the deep pool, and with a flash in the air, landed on the mountain near the Sacred Pool.

"Cunning humans!"

The Primordial creatures were instantly enraged, realizing they had been tricked, and rushed over together, their murderous aura soaring.

"You think you can escape from us? You're day-dreaming!"

They were extremely confident. The distance between them was only a few miles. With their powerful physical bodies, how could the speed of running or flying on this island be comparable to that of humans?
