The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2260: 2249: Entering the Tomb
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
The massive stone door rose up from deep within the earth.
It towered over thirty meters in height and stretched about ten meters across.
All those assembled before this colossal stone door seemed utterly insignificant. Once the glowing light around the door faded, its genuine appearance came into view for everyone.
Intricate carvings adorned the stone door, illustrating scenes from the Ancient Era. A horrifying aura poured forth from it, while the entire pristine white door instinctively urged people to bow down in adoration.
Even mighty experts like Hua Wanchuan and Luo Qianhai of the Divine King Realm sensed this pressure, and from the intricate patterns on the door, the destination beyond clearly pointed to a tomb. With such an overwhelming aura from merely the stone door, the one interred inside had to be a supreme powerhouse of the Divine Emperor Realm.
Legends claim that Divine Emperor Realm tombs stand apart. As their end approaches, they craft their own secluded realms ahead of time and build the tombs themselves. Each Divine Emperor's resting place boasts unparalleled luxury and clever design.
Pulled straight from the ground, this enormous stone door confirmed a hidden space lay behind it. Drawing from all the signs, Luo Qianhai determined it to be a Divine Emperor’s tomb.
During the Initial Stage of the Ancient Era, a time of dazzling glory, a handful of Divine Emperor Realm powerhouses arose. The inaugural Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan stood on the verge of Eternal Life. Likewise, the obliterated Black Demon had neared Eternal Life as well.
Apart from the Dragon Clan's first Clan Leader and Black Demon, only a scarce few other Divine Emperors surfaced in the Initial Stage of the Ancient Era. At the Divine Emperor Realm's pinnacle, no one else besides those two likely existed.
Tumultuous events shook the Initial Stage of the Ancient Era. The Dragon Clan swiftly declined, and the remaining Divine Emperors fell amid the chaos. Even now, the Tian Xuan Realm has uncovered no Divine Emperor tomb!
Following that radiant epoch in the Initial Stage of the Ancient Era, the Cultivation World saw no further Divine Emperor Realm experts, signifying its greatest height.
In addition to Luo Qianhai's thrill, Li Yuanmu, Hua Wanchuan, and Luo Qianjiang's eyes sparkled with eagerness. They too inferred this as a Divine Emperor’s tomb, an event of immense fortune. Never having witnessed one, tales describe every Divine Emperor tomb brimming with countless fortunes and riches.
How could Li Yuanmu and the rest stay calm? Central State, possibly bound by some limit, produced no Divine Venerable. Inside this Divine Emperor tomb, breakthrough clues and chances might await them.
Observing the huge stone door from a distance, Ye Chenfeng inquired inwardly, “Old Bai, Old Hei, is this truly the fabled Divine Emperor’s tomb?”
Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, mulled it over briefly before replying, “From the setup and details, it does resemble a Divine Emperor’s tomb. Should it be, boundless fortunes await inside. Your power could surge to new heights.”
Back in the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, the Ancient Demon Vine had twisted Sun Changnian and his group into blood mist. Ye Chenfeng hadn't acted then, later lamenting the lost chance to draw in some of their essence with Hai Na Bai Chuan.
This time, Ye Chenfeng stayed alert, his eyes scanning Divine King powerhouses such as Hua Wanchuan. He'd yet to devour a genuine Divine King, making this a prime moment.
Upon hearing Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, affirm it was probably a Divine Emperor tomb, Ye Chenfeng grew grave, while Zhao Jinpeng and Wu Lingxiang next to him knitted their brows. With their refined upbringings, Zhao Jinpeng, Wu Lingxiang, and Jiang Caixuan possessed deep insights.
In a chilly tone, Wu Lingxiang declared, “Their assessment rings true, yet who could've foreseen a Divine Emperor tomb surfacing in Central State? Usually, these hold the fallen Divine Emperor's cultivation methods and secret arts, plus heavenly treasures.”
Jiang Caixuan chuckled, “True enough, our trip wasn't wasted. Even our family's elders would covet a Divine Emperor tomb fiercely.”
While Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan conversed,
Impatience gripped Hua Wanchuan, Luo Qianhai, and the other Divine King experts. Sharing looks, they pressed their palms cautiously against the gigantic stone door, surging their Spiritual Qi Rivers to unleash earth-shaking, ocean-toppling force.
At first, Hua Wanchuan and company merely tested it, aware a Divine Emperor tomb wouldn't yield easily.
Yet reality delighted them.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
A subtle noise echoed from the stone gate while the colossal door gradually swung open.
In short order.
Accompanied by a resounding “boom!”,
the gigantic stone gate stood fully ajar. From beyond, observers could only make out an endless white void, concealing whatever realm existed inside.
The Divine Emperor tomb lay potentially right ahead.
Fortune and peril frequently entwine. After a brief pause, Luo Qianhai plunged straight through the stone door, vanishing from all eyes. Time slipping away, he sensed the pressing need to gamble.
Watching Luo Qianhai step in, Hua Wanchuan, Li Yuanmu, Luo Qianjiang, Zhao Wanzhong, and Jin Hongsheng—the Divine King ancestors of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Xiao Yao Palace, and the Jins—hurried after him.
The remaining Sect Divine King ancestors rushed inside eagerly, the Divine Emperor tomb's allure irresistible. Before long, Heavenly God Realm experts followed suit, while Earth God Realm and Spirit God Realm cultivators remained barred outside by an invisible force, entry demanding strength surpassing the Earth God Realm.
With a quick look at Bai Xiaorou and Zhao Jinpeng, Ye Chenfeng advanced toward the huge stone door, Bai Xiaorou and the rest sticking close beside him.
Stepping past the stone door, Ye Chenfeng and his group experienced vertigo as an irresistible suction yanked at them, massive whirlpools churning nearby. These gales ripped away their headwear and demolished their masks.
Luckily, they managed to channel their inner Spiritual Energy just in time, averting injury.
