Chapter 1070: On the verge of breaking out
One of the three parties was a young man.
He was about 14 or 15 years old and was sitting cross-legged at the stone door. His face was delicate and pretty, and his hair was tied up with a simple ribbon. When he looked at Xu Qing and Er Niu through the gap in the stone door, the corners of his mouth moved, revealing two neat rows of white teeth. He looked so pure and innocent.
Beside him was a huge black silkworm. It was bigger than the young man and had tentacles all over its body. It looked very ferocious.
At this moment, silk was spitting out from the silkworm's mouth. It formed a black line and connected to a jade bottle-like emperor's treasure around the Immortal skeleton. It was trying its best to collect it.
The silk was pulled straight, but the emperor's treasure was resisting. Although it showed signs of being pulled, its speed was extremely slow.
In the other direction, a woman was standing by the stone door.
This woman had delicate facial features. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her nose was tall, and her lips were bright red like cherries. However, her overall temperament was cold, and so was her gaze.
Especially her palace robe with large sleeves, which gave her a sense of superiority.
She glanced at Xu Qing and Er Niu's appearance and frowned slightly. However, she still chose to withdraw her gaze and focus on the mirror in front of her again.
It was an octagonal mirror that floated above. The mirror faced the underground palace, and everything within the underground palace was reflected in the mirror.
This included the Immortal skeleton, as well as the inheritances, authorities, and treasures around the Immortal skeleton.
As for the woman, she was reaching into the mirror as if she was trying to grab something.
However, the difficulty was obviously great. So far, she had not succeeded.
As for the last party, it was a young man.
He wore a green robe and was dressed like a scholar. His hair was tied up on top of his head and fixed with a simple hairpin.
His expression was calm and he had a calm and gentle temperament. As for his body, it was thin and tall like bamboo or pine. His face was delicate and his eyes were bright.
He paid the least attention to Xu Qing and Er Niu. He only glanced at them and then stopped looking at them.
All of his attention was on the burning incense stick in front of him.
The incense stick was as thick as a finger and was completely red. As it burned, it emitted waves of red smoke. The scholar gently blew, and the smoke flew into the underground palace and landed on the inheritance imprints.
The smoke was bizarre, and as it continued to spread out, the legacy seals began to flicker as if they were being given life, and tiny limbs began to grow out of them.
As if attracted, they lined up and slowly walked towards the young man.
When Xu Qing and Er Niu saw what was happening, their hearts were filled with countless thoughts.
After meeting the extorted Sovereign, the two of them had already guessed the identities of the people who had entered Death Blaze's seclusion grounds.
Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, his guess was confirmed.
"They are all Sovereigns who have concealed their cultivation bases and identities!"
"And this underground palace is strange. There are dangers and unknowns!"
"The imperial lords of the Western Demon Feather Sect are obviously very cautious,". "Furthermore, they must have noticed that something was off. Therefore ā¦ they didn't enter the necropolis. Instead, they used different methods to try to acquire good fortune!
"Furthermore ā¦ the fact that they're here means that they already knew about this necropolis and were prepared for it!"
Xu Qing and Er Niu immediately understood.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
After all, according to the current situation, they were at an absolute disadvantage here.
If any of them were to make a move against them, it would be a piece of cake.
"Fortunately, we have this family ā¦."
Er Niu took a deep breath and couldn't help but look back at the two large heads with a fawning expression. Then, he gritted his teeth.
"Junior Brother, we can't worry about exposing ourselves now. Both of us are in our true forms. They've seen most of what they should ā¦."
"So, let's ā¦."
Er Niu didn't continue, but Xu Qing could clearly sense his intentions.
"Let's go all out!" Xu Qing said resolutely.
Er Niu's eyes flashed with madness. At the same time, they reached out and pushed at the stone door.
Both of them unleashed their full power.
Rumbling sounds echoed as the stone door slowly opened. In the end, it was completely open.
Even Sovereigns didn't dare to casually enter the underground palace. Although Xu Qing and Er Niu were mad, madness and suicide were two different things. At least ā¦ they hadn't reached that point yet.
Therefore, after the door opened, Xu Qing and Er Niu walked to the edge of the palace and looked at the corpses that littered the ground. They immediately came to a decision.
In the next instant, gray mist appeared in Er Niu's eyes.
The Carving Knife of Fate in Xu Qing's body also emitted wisps of mist.
The power of both sides converged and poured into the underground palace without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, gray light suddenly flashed in the eyes of a skeleton. It actually staggered out of the large number of skeletons around it.
Then, it used both hands and feet to crawl toward the altar where the immortal remains were.
Aside from the fact that its movements were a little shaky at the beginning, everything was normal. It was incomparably practiced, without any signs of jerkiness. Moreover, its speed grew faster and faster.
If it had been when they had just obtained the power of death, it would have been difficult for them to control it with such precision.
However, as they prepared food for that family, their control abilities were already infinitely close to the point of perfection after being honed over and over again.
Therefore, controlling this skeleton was a walk in the park for them.
Soon, the skeleton climbed onto the altar and arrived next to the immortal remains. Then, it jumped up and slammed into a shield-like great emperor treasure.
It crashed into the stone door that Xu Qing and the others were in.
However, as soon as it made contact with the Emperor's treasure, a force of expulsion appeared, causing the corpse to explode and turn into ash.
The treasure didn't move at all.
The other three parties ignored it.
Xu Qing and Er Niu's eyes flashed. In the next instant ā¦ seven or eight corpses jumped up at the same time and crashed into the shield again.
Banging sounds rang out continuously as the corpses turned into dust.
But soon, dozens of corpses flew up.
Then, hundreds ā¦
In the end, hundreds of corpses rushed out of the underground palace, fighting to be the first to charge forward. After a series of collisions, they finally managed to move the shield that was floating in the air.
After that, the shield was pushed closer and closer to the stone door that Xu Qing and the others were in.
Although the speed of its arrival was slow due to the existence of the traction force, that was only relatively speaking.
Compared to the other three parties, this was already considered fast.
And this scene was naturally seen by the other three Sovereigns, so they all looked up and stared at it.
At the same time, there were two other parties who were watching this scene ā¦
On one side, there was the black-robed man whose stone door hadn't been pushed open. He sat cross-legged behind the stone door and frowned as he sensed what was happening inside.
On the other side, there was the Empress.
She had a strange expression as she watched the corpses crash into the shield one by one. Looking at the longing on Xu Qing and Er Niu's faces, she sighed.
Just like that, time slowly passed.
Two hours passed.
Two more parties arrived.
The first to arrive was the son of the fifth Sovereign, Lin Kun.
However ā¦ his true identity wasn't difficult to guess.
He was the fifth Sovereign of Eastern Demon Feather and one of the disciples of the Dark Flame Emperor!
After arriving, his gaze didn't fall on other items. Instead, it was fixed on a Dao mark of a Authority, and there was a strong longing in his eyes.
And the method he used to obtain it was different from the others. He just sat there cross-legged and exuded a fluctuation of the same origin as the Dao mark of the Authority. This Dao mark of the Authority slowly approached him.
As for the last to arrive, it was an acquaintance of Xu Qing and Er Niu.
It was the old man that they had blackmailed.
He saw the underground palace and the other parties, as well as Xu Qing and Er Niu.
The moment he looked at the latter, a powerful killing intent rose from his body. However, he swept his gaze over the environment of the underground palace, as well as the stone door behind Xu Qing 'er.
In the end, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart.
"There's no need to rush. If they're lucky enough to make it out alive, I'll definitely grind their bones to dust!"
In the end, he snorted coldly. He sat there and activated his death aura. It formed a rope, and as if he was fishing, he hooked a Authority dao mark.
The period it took an incense stick to burn passed.
The actions of all parties continued, and it was almost time for them to reap the rewards, especially for Xu Qing and Er Niu. The shields that were knocked over were less than one hundred feet away from them.
To their disappointment, the giant head didn't send out any suction force to help them.
"However, at this rate, this treasure will be divided among us in at most an incense stick's worth of time."
Er Niu licked his lips and was excited.
However, it was clear that no one had stepped into the underground palace. This did not seem to be in line with the plan of the person who had set up this place. Therefore, it was inevitable that something unexpected would happen.
Just as everyone was about to reap the rewards, one of the previously sealed stone doors suddenly opened with a rumbling sound.
A figure rushed out from the opened stone doors.
Her speed was astonishing. Everyone's expressions changed as she directly entered the underground palace.
It was an old woman!
In the world of the Dark Flame Emperor's memory fragments, she was clearly the old woman who had died at the hands of the Yun Family's ancestor.
However, she had appeared now.
As she raised her hand, a wave of Sovereign power erupted from her body, forming a storm that swept through the surroundings.
It shattered the silk, shook the mirror, severed the death aura rope, stopped the awakening of the inheritance, and even cut off the Authority dao mark's path. She grabbed the shields that were approaching Xu Qing and Er Niu.
All of this happened in an instant.
Then, as everyone's eyes shone brightly, she walked up to the Immortal skeleton, sat down cross-legged, and spoke in a cold and gloomy voice.
"Since you're not willing to take the risk, then don't come in."
After saying that, the old woman closed her eyes and formed a hand seal. Then, she opened her mouth and inhaled toward the immortal skeleton.
As she inhaled, an invisible connection seemed to connect her to the Immortal Skeleton.
It was unknown what shocking method the old woman used, but the immortal skeleton began to dissipate. As the old woman absorbed, her aura was visibly rising.
Stronger and stronger.
It was as if she was absorbing the Dark Flame Emperor's hypostasis.
As she absorbed, the inheritances and Authority dao marks in the surroundings trembled as if they had sensed their master. They approached her, wanting to merge with her.
The Great Emperor's treasures also showed signs of awakening their weapon spirits.
This drastic change instantly broke the balance of this place!
This was an open conspiracy!
It didn't matter whether or not the other parties noticed the old woman's problem, because if they didn't stop her, once she succeeded, no one would gain anything. At the same time, if they allowed this to happen, it would definitely lead to greater danger and uncertainty.
Most importantly, what the old woman absorbed also included ā¦ the black crystal formed by the Demon Feather Emperor's life spirit!
At this critical moment, everyone's expression darkened. A cold light flashed in Lin Kun's eyes, and he rushed out toward the old woman. When he got close, he attacked to interrupt her absorption.
Rumbling sounds echoed as the two of them fought.
The other Sovereigns were still hesitating.
At the same time, Xu Qing and Er Niu looked at each other and gritted their teeth. The gray mist in their bodies instantly erupted.
In an instant, the countless corpses in the underground palace trembled and awakened.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they rushed toward the inheritances and Authority dao marks and Emperor treasures.
