Chapter 459

459 The ancient cemetery

~~

“What is this?” Even tantai Ling was surprised. What ye chen was holding in his hand was clearly a star core the size of a fist!

A star core the size of a pigeon’s egg was already extremely precious, not to mention a fist-sized one!

“We’ll split the things we got outside. Do you want to continue going in? I can sense that there’s a huge space inside this underground Palace!” Ye chen kept the star core into the armguard space. This thing was too eye-catching and must be kept safe. He felt a spatial fluctuation in the depths of the underground palace, which was similar to the one he felt in the sunken Jade Tower. He didn’t know which mighty person had opened up another space under the underground palace.

“The giant flame Heavenly King, the howling wind Heavenly King, and the other sea demon races are almost here. Let’s go!” Tantai Ling could sense several powerful auras rapidly approaching from behind. They brought ye chen into the dark depths of the underground palace.

A wave of spatial fluctuation slowly spread out.

When sikong Jingming received tantai Ling’s message, he quickly collected the remaining few human tier spirit treasures and quickly followed behind. He leaped into the space.

The giant flame Heavenly King, who was rushing over at top speed, puffed up his cheeks and squinted his blood-red eyes. He had clearly sensed the spatial fluctuation.

there’s another space in this underground Palace! The giant flame Heavenly King lifted his nose slightly and sniffed. He could feel the residual power of the stars in the air. The core of the star must have been taken away by tantai Ling. Although he was a little wary of tantai Ling’s power, the core of the star was of great importance. Even if he had to chase her to another dimension, he had to get the core back!

The giant flame Heavenly King immediately used his psyche to give an order to the giant soldiers outside the underground palace. He said in a deep voice, ” “Inform the other Heavenly Kings of our tribe to seal off the exit. We must not let tantai Ling escape!”

“Yes, Heavenly King!” A hint of excitement flashed in the giant soldier’s eyes as it turned around and flew toward the sea in the distance.

In the underground palace, Heavenly King Ming Feng of the rainfall sea demon clan followed closely behind. He looked around and exchanged a look with the giant flame Heavenly King. With a wary look, he leaped forward.

“Mingfeng, let’s work together to snatch the planetary core from tantai Ling. We’ll split it in half. What do you think?” The giant flame Heavenly King squinted his eyes slightly and said, revealing a mouth of sharp teeth. Although he was smiling, he looked fierce no matter how you looked at him.

I’m not working with the bloodthirsty sea demon tribe. There’s no need to discuss this. The wailing wind Heavenly King rejected the offer firmly and entered the space without stopping. He thought to himself,’the rainfall sea demon tribe won’t want to be associated with you bloodthirsty sea demons!’ I’d rather tantai Ling get the star core than let you bloodthirsty sea demons have it!

Hearing the cry wind Heavenly King’s reply, the giant flame Heavenly King snorted coldly. A bloodthirsty light shot out of his blood-red eyes as he entered the space.

Following that, more and more experts from the various sea demon races entered the space.

After ye chen and tantai Ling entered the space, their vision turned dark. After an unknown period of time, when they opened their eyes again, they found that they were in a huge sea. Behind them was a circular exit of the space. Looking ahead, they saw a vast sea that stretched as far as the eye could see. The light was dim and the end could not be seen. The bottom of the sea was covered with sand and stones and skeletons were everywhere. Upon a closer look, they saw the corpses of all kinds of sea demons and sea monsters. They could not see the end at a glance. This was a huge graveyard!

A faint pressure spread out from the bones of the sea demons and sea monsters like a powerful heavenly might. Ye chen tried to use his astral body to investigate everything here but he found that his astral body could not extend out of his body at all. His body also seemed to have become tens of thousands of pounds heavier and was swimming extremely slowly.

Just the pressure emitted from the skeletons was already so powerful. How powerful were these sea demons and sea monsters when they were alive?

“This is the sea race’s ancient cemetery?” Tantai Ling’s brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise as she muttered softly to herself.

Tantai Ling’s swimming speed had slowed down significantly as well. However, she was a transcendent stage powerhouse after all, so she was still able to nullify a portion of the pressure. Tantai Ling looked down and saw that every skeleton here was a famous ancient giant beast among the sea demons and sea monsters. Some of them were from the ancient times, while the majority of them were from the primordial era. Many of these sea demons and sea monsters had already gone extinct and were only recorded in history.

“Ancient cemetery?” Ye chen was not very familiar with the history of the various sea demon clans. He was eager to understand this world but found that the history of this world seemed to have been erased by man. Very few people knew about things that happened ten thousand years ago. Only some records could be found in the major forces with ancient inheritances.

“Legend has it that when the sea demons and sea monsters of the ancient times were about to reach the end of their lifespans, they would enter a place called the ‘ancient cemetery’ and quietly wait for death. The sea demons and sea monsters that were qualified to enter the ancient cemetery were all extremely powerful. It was said that they were at least mysterious God grade and above! In our sea clan, we call such an expert a huge deep-sea demon.” Tantai Ling explained tirelessly, looking forward to the golden age of the immemorial age. Unfortunately, the entire sea Race had declined.

Ye chen was surprised to hear this. It turned out that this was the tomb of the ancient sea demons and sea monsters. He looked down at the mountains of corpses. These corpses had been dead for more than a hundred thousand years but most of them were still intact. It showed how strong the bodies of these powerhouses were. If their corpses gave off such a great pressure after death, then just how strong were they when they were alive? it was truly somewhat beyond imagination.

Ye chen looked up and saw little squido swimming forward at an extremely fast speed, seemingly at ease. Its big eyes looked around curiously. The pressure emitted by these sea demons and sea monster skeletons was completely ineffective against it.

As tantai Ling looked down, she marveled at everything in front of her. Every skeleton here contained a trace of remnant power. She slowly landed and stood on a rock. With a gentle pull of her delicate hand, she picked up a Pearl that was deeply buried in the sand. This Pearl was the size of an ordinary child’s head. It was extremely clear and emitted a pure light. It illuminated tantai Ling’s snow-white and delicate skin as if it was plated with a layer of light.

“It’s actually a God’s Pearl!” Tantai Ling looked at the huge Pearl in her hand. Even though she had always been cold and composed, she could not help but exclaim in surprise.

why is it called a God’s Pearl? could it be that this Pearl was left behind by a God? ” Ye chen asked curiously.

“No, but I’m almost there.” Tantai Ling chuckled and shook her head. Her smile was as beautiful as a lotus flower blooming. Her chest heaved slightly, and she was feeling extremely uneasy. this is a Pearl condensed by a type of clam-type sea demon. Clam-type sea demons have extremely long lifespans and can live for millions of years or even longer. To mortals with short lifespans, they are indeed no different from gods. When clam-type sea demons die, their essence will be integrated into the Pearl of God. To us sea demons, the effect of the Pearl of God is not inferior to that fist-sized star core!”

Ye chen and tantai Ling could not help but feel excited as they looked at the dazzling Pearl of God. They could sense that there were many more Supreme treasures in this ancient cemetery!

At this moment, sikong Jingming had also entered the ancient cemetery through the spatial entrance. He immediately saw tantai Ling who was not far away. He could not care about anything else and said anxiously, ” “Your Majesty, the giant flame Heavenly King and the cry wind Heavenly King have arrived as well!”

Without waiting for tantai Ling’s reply, sikong Jingming’s eyes fell on the Pearl of God in tantai Ling’s hand. His eyes instantly widened and his mouth opened so wide that several eggs could be stuffed in. He said in a trembling voice, ” “Y-Your Majesty, is this the legendary Pearl of God? Did I see it wrong?” Sikong Jingming rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

“It’s indeed the Pearl of God. This is the ancient graveyard of the sea demons and sea monsters from the ancient times. There must be a lot of good things here.” Tantai Ling was in a good mood, so her tone was not as cold as usual. When she heard sikong Jing mention that the giant flame Heavenly King and the screaming wind Heavenly King were also here, she made a prompt decision. A rainbow-colored divine light burst forth from her body, and a wave of energy was injected into the God’s Pearl.

With a bang, the deity’s Pearl instantly exploded into powder. Waves of pure energy essence, like the Milky Way, shimmered and wrapped around tantai Ling.

Tantai Ling gently waved her slender hand and the divine light on her body grew even brighter. The powder of the Pearl of God was immediately absorbed by tantai Ling while a portion of its power rapidly condensed on the sea god’s Trident. The sea god’s Trident shot out tens of thousands of seven-colored rays of light.

Ye chen was standing beside tantai Ling. He could clearly feel that tantai Ling’s cultivation level was rising continuously and had reached an astonishing level.

Sikong Jingming’s mouth was agape, but he could not say a word. A deity’s Pearl had been used up just like that. Normally, after obtaining a deity’s Pearl, an ordinary expert would slowly absorb the power within the Pearl. It was not worth it for tantai Ling to crush the Pearl and absorb it all at once. It would waste a lot of its essence. However, he had to admit that tantai Ling had done the right thing. There were still two Heavenly Kings following behind her. Tantai Ling’s strength would increase, and she would be able to obtain more things!

Ye chen could also feel the energy emitted by the Pearl of God. It was extremely pure but this energy was similar to the sea demon energy in tantai Ling’s body. Ye chen did not dare to absorb it casually. After all, it was the energy of the sea demon clan.

After absorbing the power of the deity’s Pearl, tantai Ling’s entire aura had changed slightly. Her skin was like a Pearl, glowing with a white luster. It added a hint of seductiveness to her slim figure.

Tantai Ling frowned slightly. She felt that there was something wrong with the power emitted by the Pearl of God, but it was not a big problem. At this moment, there was a fluctuation in the space. She immediately became alert and held the sea god’s Trident tightly with both hands. She looked towards the entrance of the space and saw two figures entering the ancient cemetery one after another.

They were the giant flame Heavenly King and the cry wind Heavenly King!
