In front of the Heishui Sect's mountain gate, Leng Bi Yue stood.
She saw numerous corpses dressed in the attire of the Heishui Sect, along with other cultivators wearing robes of other sects.
This made Leng Bi Yue frown slightly as she gazed up at the Cave of Heaven, Blessed Land of the Heishui Sect.
*She sensed that something had happened at the Heishui Sect!*
"Have we arrived at the Heishui Sect?" Yang Yan asked.
At this moment, he was eager to seize resources and absorb power.
The Emperor Corpse and the Sacred Body seemed like two bottomless pits that needed a continuous supply of resources and strength to fill. They relentlessly urged him forward!
"Reporting to the Great Emperor, something happened at the Heishui Sect; many cultivators died.
Furthermore, there are corpses of cultivators from other sects too. I suspect the Heishui Sect might have been attacked by other sects," Leng Bi Yue replied.
An attack from other sects?
Yang Yan smiled.
"This is a good thing; the more cultivators that come, the better!
Slaying them means I can obtain more cultivation resources."
Every cultivator carried with them many cultivation materials.
Their Divine Origins and Spirit Stones were sources of enhancement for Yang Yan.
"Enter, and meet them!" he ordered calmly.
Leng Bi Yue's eyes focused.
"Yes, Great Emperor!"
She carried a coffin on her back, walking deeper into the Heishui Sect's Cave of Heaven, Blessed Land.
Her footsteps were heavy, each step echoing loudly.
...
Deep within the Heishui Sect's Cave of Heaven, Blessed Land.
"Wudao Tian, will you still ignore the life and death of your disciples, allowing them to resist stubbornly?
I advise you to quickly step aside and hand over the Heishui Sect!
Otherwise, my Baihuo Sect and the Shenpo Sect will slay you today, annihilating everyone in your Heishui Sect!"
In front of the grand hall of the Heishui Sect, a middle-aged man in a black robe looked grim.
He was the Sect Master of the Heishui Sect, Wudao Tian.
He was watching the battle below between the elders of the Heishui Sect and Yan Bahu, the Sect Master of the Baihuo Sect.
Yan Bahu utilized his Profound Skill technique, enveloped by flames that reached the sky.
With a wave of his hand, the fire blazed high.
The surrounding disciples of the Heishui Sect couldn't flee in time, and as the flames burned, cries of anguish echoed, and the ground was covered with corpses!
"Damn Baihuo Sect, they are just a small sect, not even a third of my Heishui Sect.
But they borrowed Divine Weapons and a Divine General from the Shenpo Sect, and their strength surpassed that of my Heishui Sect.
If the elites of the Heishui Sect in the Great Emperor's Tomb were still around, there would be some chance.
Now... it was only a one-sided crushing!" Wudao Tian thought to himself.
He was also worried about the crisis left in the Great Emperor's Tomb.
Could that Great Emperor still be alive?
Would the desecration of his tomb go unnoticed by him?
"Sect Master, quickly summon the Heaven Flipping Seal, or we'll all perish," an elder shouted from below the grand hall.
Half of his body had already been consumed by flames, and his body retreated step by step.
Wudao Tian clenched his fist.
"The Heaven Flipping Seal has already been lost."
The Sect Master of the Heishui Sect, Wudao Tian, was in the Sword Dao Emperor's Tomb, holding the projection of the Heaven Flipping Seal refined by the Great Saint!
"What? The Heaven Flipping Seal is lost? Could something have happened in the Great Emperor's Tomb?" the elder exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, something did happen!"
Their conversation was overheard by Yan Bahu, the Sect Master of the Baihuo Sect.
"To think the Heishui Sect has indeed found a treasure trove, and it's the Great Emperor's Tomb, no less!
"Hahaha!
Once we devour the Heishui Sect, the Great Emperor's Tomb will be mine.
Then, inviting the Divine Weapons from the Shenpo Sect, we can explore the Great Emperor's Tomb together and surely gain plenty of benefits!
Kill them for me!" Yan Bahu shouted excitedly.
Wudao Tian's expression changed.
"Yan Bahu, I'm telling you this to persuade you to retreat immediately."
"Retreat? Do you think that's possible?
You don't even have the Heaven Flipping Seal!
And I have a sliver of Li huo extracted from the Li huo Divine Sword refined by a Saint. Without the Heaven Flipping Seal, how can you Heishui Sect stop me?
What will you fight me with?"
Yan Bahu's flames flared up!
The crimson flames were entirely different from ordinary flames!
"Why don't you think, how could the Heaven Flipping Seal, a Sect Treasure, be lost?" Wudao Tian asked coldly.
Yan Bahu's flames burned brightly.
"Why? Could there be a great horror in the Great Emperor's Tomb?"
"You're not foolish; indeed, there is great horror.
The Great Emperor's Tomb I discovered belonged to the Sword Dao Emperor, who died a hundred thousand years ago."
The Sword Dao Emperor!
Renowned for being able to separate life with a single sword!
"The reason my Heaven Flipping Seal was lost is because the Sword Dao Emperor has come back to life!"
What!
Yan Bahu was taken aback!
The disciples and elders of the Heishui Sect were all equally shocked.
The Great Emperor, dead for a hundred thousand years, had come back to life!
*How unimaginable this was!*
"I left the Heaven Flipping Seal in the tomb just to escape back sooner.
We were preparing to relocate the entire sect, abandoning this Cave of Heaven, Blessed Land.
But you chose to attack now!
Even if you destroy my Heishui Sect and seize this place today,
when the Sword Dao Emperor revives and seeks retribution for the grave robbery,
do you think you will survive?" Wudao Tian elaborated on the severity.
Yan Bahu's flames surged around him.
He pondered for a moment.
"Wudao Tian, you're trying to deceive me!
How could the Sword Dao Emperor, dead for a hundred thousand years, come back to life?
If he were alive, how come I don't feel the oppressive presence of the Great Dao across the heavens and the earth?
I think you encountered an array map engraved by the Great Emperor in the tomb.
To escape, you shattered the Heaven Flipping Seal."
The Emperor's Path was as deep as the sea!
Once the Great Emperor achieved Dao, the Ten Directions Universe and Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would all experience the oppression of the Emperor's Path.
"You don't believe me?"
"Why should I believe you?
You're already in the palm of my hands!
Today, I am determined to have the Great Emperor's Tomb.
I am also determined to have your Heishui Sect!
As for the great horror, once I find out where the Great Emperor's Tomb is, I will personally verify everything!" Yan Bahu continued.
The Great Emperor's Tomb, what a huge temptation.
If opened, perhaps there were Emperor's cultivation techniques. How could Yan Bahu not be tempted!
"Yan Bahu, the insatiable heart of man is like a snake swallowing an elephant.
The Sword Dao Emperor has already revived. I think he will come most likely within a day.
By then..."
Wudao Tian paused here in his speech.
Immediately, he began to tremble all over.
"I can feel the aura of the Heaven Flipping Seal; he has arrived!"
Wudao Tian said no more.
"Run!"
At this moment, Wudao Tian's fingers flickered, utilizing Profound Skill to retreat frantically, disappearing toward the back mountain.
He had fled!
The disciples of the Heishui Sect, he didn't care about them at all.
*In life and death, protecting oneself comes first!*
"Where?"
The Sword Dao Emperor had come?
Yan Bahu felt a fear that made his heart pound but quickly scanned his surroundings.
He saw nothing and felt no powerful presence.
With a sigh of relief, his gaze turned icy!
"Trying to scare me into letting you run, impossible!"
He opened his palm, unveiling a corner of the Array Map, sealing off the Heishui Sect.
"The Prison Divine Array Map refined by a Great Power cultivator from the Shenpo Sect, Wudao Tian!
Trying to escape right under my eyes, absolutely impossible!"
The Array Map trembled, and Yan Bahu knew it was Wudao Tian attacking the map, attempting to break through the Prison Divine Array Map.
"A Prison Divine Array Map refined by a Great Power, you, Wudao Tian, are impossible to break!" Yan Bahu thought proudly.
Within less than a minute, the figure of Wudao Tian quickly returned.
"Yan Bahu, quickly, quickly open the Array Map.
We must leave together!
He's here, truly here!"
Yan Bahu's flames surged dramatically.
"Trying to fool me, get lost!"
With a wave of his hand, towering flames roared toward Wudao Tian.
Wudao Tian dodged repeatedly.
"Yan Bahu, if we don't leave now, it'll really be too late!" he urged anxiously.
*Danger was right in front of them!*
Thud!
Before Yan Bahu could respond, the Cave of Heaven, Blessed Land shook!
The segment of the Prison Divine Array, refined by a Great Power from the Shenpo Sect, wavered and appeared unstable!
The ground beneath Yan Bahu, Wudao Tian, the disciples of the Heishui Sect, and the disciples of the Shenpo Sect split open.
"What happened?"
"Look behind you!"
When everyone realized, they turned back in unison.
There, a graceful young girl was setting down an ancient, heavy coffin.
