Darkness enveloped the underground chamber, the air thick with ancient energy.
Li Jun rose to his feet, his senses sharp. The walls were covered in glowing glyphs, pulsating with a faint golden light.
> This isn't just a ruin… It's a sealed domain.
His All-Knowing Eye activated, scanning the area.
[Location: Tomb of the Forgotten King]
Threat Level: Extreme
Energy Presence: Unknown Lifeform Detected
Sealing Formation: Partially Broken
Li Jun's heartbeat slowed.
> Unknown lifeform…?
Something was still alive in this ancient tomb.
A Voice from the Darkness
CLANK… CLANK…
A deep, metallic echo filled the chamber.
Then, from the shadows—
A massive figure emerged.
Draped in a blackened royal cloak, its skeletal frame shimmered with a faint golden glow.
Its hollow eyes stared at Li Jun, radiating an aura of absolute authority.
> "Mortal… You dare set foot in my tomb?"
The voice was ancient, filled with contempt and sorrow.
Li Jun didn't flinch.
> "Are you… the Forgotten King?"
A cold chuckle echoed through the chamber.
> "A title long abandoned. I was once a ruler, a conqueror… But now, I am a prisoner of eternity."
The aura around the figure fluctuated, making the entire chamber tremble.
Li Jun gripped his sword tightly.
> This presence… It surpasses the Demi-God Realm!
The Curse of the Forgotten King
The spectral king raised a decayed hand, revealing a broken jade amulet embedded in his chest.
> "This cursed land is my prison. My power, my legacy… all sealed away by traitors of the past."
Li Jun's eyes narrowed.
> "Why are you still here?"
The king's gaze locked onto him.
> "Because my soul refuses to fade."
His voice grew deeper, filled with bitterness and rage.
> "For centuries, I have waited. And now… you stand before me."
> "A soul reborn. A warrior who once touched divinity."
Li Jun's blood ran cold.
> He knows…
Before he could react, the king's aura surged—
BOOM!
A shockwave erupted, shaking the chamber violently.
> "Prove yourself, child of fate!"
> "Or be consumed by the past!"
A battle with the Forgotten King had begun.
