Chapter 1531: On the Verge of Eruption

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Among these three people, one of them was a youth.

He was around fourteen or fifteen years old, sitting cross-legged by the stone gate. His face was delicate, and his hair was bound with a simple silk ribbon. As he gazed through the gap in the stone gate at Xu Qing and Er Niu, his lips curved, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, giving him an innocent and pure appearance.

Next to him was a massive black silkworm, its size far surpassing that of the boy, covered in tentacles, and looking quite menacing.

It was spitting out silk threads, forming a black line that connected to a jade bottle-like supreme treasure among the surrounding skeletal remains in the chamber. The silkworm was strenuously pulling the thread.

The silk thread was taut, but the treasure was evidently resisting. Although there was a tendency to be drawn towards the silkworm, the process was extremely slow.

In the other direction, a woman was standing at the stone gate.

This woman had delicate features, with eyebrows like new moons, a high-bridged nose, and lips the color of fresh cherries. However, her overall demeanor was rather cold, and her gaze reflected the same.

Moreover, she was wearing a palace robe with large sleeves which gave off a sense of superiority.

She looked at Xu Qing and Erniu, and frowned slightly, but she retracted her gaze and focused her attention on the mirror in front of her again.

It was an octagonal mirror, floating in the air, with its surface facing the chamber, reflecting everything within it.

This included the immortal skeleton, as well as the inheritances, authorities, and supreme treasures around it.

As for the woman, her jade-like hand was stretched into the mirror as though she was grabbing what was reflected in it.

However, the difficulty was clearly huge. So far, she had yet to succeed.

As for the last person, it was a youth.

He wore a green robe and was dressed like a scholar. His hair was tied up on his head and fastened with a simple hairpin.

His expression was calm, exuding a composed and gentle demeanor. As for his physique, he was slender and upright, resembling bamboo or pine. His face was delicate, and his eyes were bright and piercing.

He paid the least attention to Xu Qing and Erniu. He only swept his gaze over them and didnt look anymore.

All his attention was on the burning incense stick in front of him.

This incense stick was as thick as a finger and completely red. While burning, it emitted waves of red smoke. When the scholar blew gently, the smoke flew into the chamber and landed on the inheritance marks.

This smoke was bizarre. Under its continuous dyeing, the inheritance marks actually began to flicker, as though they had been given life and grew tiny limbs.

As though they were being guided, they lined up and slowly walked toward the youth.

When Xu Qing and Erniu saw these scenes, their thoughts kept surging.

After meeting the old Ruler earlier, the two of them had long guessed the identities of everyone who had entered Nether Flames seclusion site.

Now that they saw it with their own eyes, they realized their guesses were true.

They are all Rulers who have hidden their cultivation levels and identities!

This bizarre chamber contains dangers and unknown factors!

These rulers of the West Demon Feather are clearly extremely cautious and have discerned certain clues. Therefore... they arent stepping into the chamber, and are using different methods to try to obtain fortune from behind the gates!

Moreover... since they are all here, this means that they already had some understanding and preparations for this chamber!

Xu Qing and Erniu immediately understood.

The two of them looked at each other and could see the solemn gaze in each others eyes.

After all, according to the situation, they were definitely in a weaker position here.

Any one of the Rulers could easily take them out.

Fortunately, with this family...

Erniu took a deep breath and couldnt help but turn around to look at the two large heads ingratiatingly. After that, he gritted his teeth fiercely.

Junior Brother, we cant care less about being exposed now. You and I are both in our main bodies now, and theyve seen almost everything there is to see...

So, we...

At this point, Erniu didnt continue but Xu Qing could clearly sense his intentions.

Lets give it a shot! Xu Qing said firmly.

A hint of madness appeared in Ernius eyes. They acted at the same time and ruthlessly pushed the stone gate that had opened a gap in front of them.

They erupted with their full strength.

As rumbling sounds echoed, the stone gate was slowly pushed open. In the end, it completely opened.

Even the Rulers didnt dare to rashly step into the chamber. Although Xu Qing and Erniu were crazy, there was a difference between recklessness and suicide at least for now, they had not reached that point.

Hence, after the gate opened, when they arrived at the edge and swept their gaze across the chamber, they stared at the corpses that covered the ground. Erniu and Xu Qing immediately made a decision.

At the next instant, gray fog appeared in Ernius eyes.

The fate carving knife in Xu Qings body also emitted wisps of gray fog.

The power of both sides gathered together and surged into the chamber without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, a skeletons eyes suddenly flashed with a gray light and it actually got up unsteadily from the large number of skeletons in the surroundings.

After that, it used its hands and feet to crawl toward the altar where the immortal skeleton was.

Its movements were a little shaky at the start, but everything was normal soon afterwards. Xu Qing and Ernius control over it exuded extreme familiarity with no sign of awkwardness, and its speed increased steadily.

If it was when they had just obtained the power of death, it would be quite difficult for them to control it so accurately.

However, as they prepared food for that family, under the repeated tempering, their control was infinitely close to perfection.

Hence, they were very familiar with controlling this corpse.

Very soon, the corpse crawled to the altar and arrived beside the immortal skeleton. It then jumped up and ruthlessly knocked into a Great Emperor treasure that looked like a shield.

The direction of the collision was the stone gate where Xu Qing and Erniu were at.

However, the instant it came into contact, the Great Emperor treasure rejected it. With a bang, the corpse directly collapsed and turned into ashes.

This treasure didnt even budge.

The other three parties ignored this.

Xu Qing and Ernius eyes flashed. At the next moment... seven to eight corpses jumped up at the same time and headed straight for the shield, colliding again.

Banging sounds rang out continuously as the corpses turned into ashes.

However, very soon, dozens of corpses flew up.

After that, there were a hundred...

In the end, hundreds of corpses got up and charged forward. After continuous collisions, they finally knocked the shield that was floating in the air away.

This continued, and the shield was pushed closer and closer to the stone gate where Xu Qing and Erniu were at.

Although the speed of its arrival was slow due to the existence of the pull from the chamber, this was relative.

Compared to the other three parties, this speed could be considered fast.

This scene was naturally seen by the three Rulers. They all stared over.

At the same time, two other parties also watched this scene...

On one side was the black-robed man who hadnt pushed open the stone gate.

He frowned as he saw this with his perception.

On the other side was the Empress.

Her expression was strange. She sighed as She looked at the corpses charging forward and the desire on Xu Qing and Ernius faces.

Time slowly passed.

Two hours passed.

Two more people arrived.

The first to arrive was the son of the East Demon Feathers Fifth Ruler, Lin Kun.

However... it wasnt difficult to guess his true identity.

He was the Fifth Ruler of the East Demon Feather and one of Great Emperor Nether Flames disciples!

After he arrived, his gaze didnt land on the other items. Instead, he stared at the authority Dao marks with a fleeting, intense desire.

His method was also different from the others. He only sat there cross-legged and emitted a similar energy fluctuation as the authority. The Dao mark of the authority actually slowly approached him.

As for the last to arrive, he was Xu Qing and Ernius acquaintance.

The old man they had extorted.

He saw the chamber and also looked around. Fie also saw Xu Qing and Erniu.

The moment he saw them, intense killing intent clearly rose from his body. However, he swept his gaze across the chamber and behind Xu Qing and Erniu.

In the end, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

No rush. If they manage to get out alive, I will grind their bones to dust!

Finally, he let out a cold snort and sat there, turning his aura of death into a rope. Like fishing, he hooked a Dao mark of authority.

Just like that, another fifteen minutes passed.

The harvesting attempts of the various parties continued and it was almost time for them to harvest. This was especially so for Xu Qing and Erniu. The shield that was continuously knocked over was less than a hundred feet away from them.

What made them regretful was that the large head clearly didnt send out a suction force because of fear.

However, if this continues, this treasure will be ours in fifteen minutes at most.

Erniu licked his lips, feeling excited.

However, no one stepped into the chamber. This didnt seem to be in line with the plan of the person who set it up. Hence, it was inevitable that accidents would happen.

At this moment, just as all parties were about to reap their rewards, a previously sealed stone gate suddenly rumbled and directly opened.

A figure actually rushed out of the opened stone gate.

Their speed was astonishing. Under the changing expressions of everyone, they directly entered the chamber.

It was an old woman!

In one of the memory fragment realms of the Great Emperor Nether Flame, the old woman had clearly died in the hands of the Yun familys ancestor.

But she had somehow appeared here.

With a raise of her hand, a wave of Ruler-level energy erupted from her body, creating a storm that swept through the surroundings.

This energy shattered the silken threads, repelled the mirror, severed the death rope, obstructed the reviving legacy, interrupted the path of the authorities, and pulled back the shield that was nearing Xu Qing and Erniu.

All of this happened instantly.

After that, amidst the sharp glints in the eyes of everyone, she walked in front of the immortal skeleton and sat down, saying coldly.

Since you guys arent willing to take the risk, dont come in.

With that, the old woman closed her eyes and performed a series of hand seals with both hands. She opened her mouth and sucked fiercely at the immortal skeleton in front of her.

With this suction, an invisible connection instantly seemed to connect her to the immortal skeleton.

It was unknown what astonishing method the old woman used but the immortal skeleton actually began to dissipate. As the old woman absorbed it, her aura started rising visibly.

It was getting stronger and stronger.

It was as though she was absorbing the status of the Great Emperor Nether Flame.

As she absorbed, the inheritances and authorities in the surroundings actually shook. It was as though they had sensed their master and moved closer to her, wanting to fuse with her.

Those Great Emperor treasures also showed signs of artifact spirit awakening.

This drastic change instantly broke the balance here!

This was an open scheme!

Whether the various parties noticed the issue with the old woman or not, it didnt matter. This was because if they didnt stop her, once the old woman succeeded, they would gain nothing. At the same time, if they allowed this to happen, an even greater crisis and variables would definitely descend.

Most importantly, what the old woman absorbed also included... the black crystal formed by the life soul of the Demon Feather Great Emperor!

Everyones expression darkened. A cold glint flashed in Lin Kuns eyes as he rushed out first and headed straight for the old woman. Fie immediately got close and interrupted the other partys absorption.

The two of them directly started a fight.

The other Rulers were still hesitating.

Xu Qing and Erniu glanced at each other and gritted their teeth fiercely. The gray fog in their bodies instantly erupted with all their might.

In that instant, the countless corpses in the chamber trembled and woke up.

Taking advantage of the chaos, they pounced toward the inheritances, authorities, and Great Emperor treasures..
