The Bone-White Divine Temple emanated a sky-reaching aura of death, overlooking the numerous grand tombs of Supreme Powerhouses.
One could see the grand tombs tearing open, with Rotten Gods and Demons rushing out, only to quickly turn to dust. Streams of morning light followed the phantoms of the Gods and Demons into the divine temple, carrying a rich aura and blood energy—the essence of flesh and blood remaining within the decaying bodies of the Gods and Demons.
This was a divine temple belonging to the Bone Demon Imperial Clan, solemn and inviolable, inhabited by the clan's most powerful Quasi-Monarch.
Usually, the Imperial Clan's Quasi-Monarch cultivated here. Even for a Quasi-Monarch, the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum was a peerless treasure land, having buried far too many Supreme Powerhouses, with many Divine Kings among them. The nearby tombs were all of Divine King-level powerhouses.
However, the Quasi-Monarch did not care about the Great Dao mysteries or incomplete legacies left by these Divine Kings. Instead, he valued the remaining flesh and blood within their buried, decaying bodies. Even after countless years of decay, some essence of flesh and blood and divine bone marrow could still be extracted, which was of great help to the Bone Demon Imperial Clan, allowing them to continuously grow stronger.
Now, the Quasi-Monarch was just one step away from undergoing an ultimate sublimation to become a true Ancient Monarch. As long as he devoured enough blood essence and divine bone marrow, he was prepared to take that final step.
Suddenly, the Quasi-Monarch, immersed in his cultivation, felt an inexplicable palpitation, unprecedented, as if something momentous had occurred.
"Young Ancestor!"
The Quasi-Monarch's supreme divine sense immediately swept over the soul jades left by numerous clan members on the altar in another divine temple. These jades recorded a wisp of primordial spirit mark or soul mark of important clan members.
Suddenly, he discovered that all several thousand soul jades enshrined on the altar had shattered, losing their luster, including the soul jade of the Imperial Princess, the Young Ancestor, at the very top.
Such a scene meant only one thing—
They had fallen!
Boom—
The entire Bone-White Divine Temple violently exploded. A tall figure shot into the sky, an extremely terrifying and immense pressure wantonly spreading from his body. A roar shook half of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum: "The Imperial Princess has fallen! Who dares to kill the supreme Imperial Princess of my Bone Demon Imperial Clan!"
Rumble—
Pressure like a tidal wave erupted, shaking heaven and earth. The emergence of a supreme Quasi-Monarch tore through the land of many grand tombs; numerous phantoms of Gods and Demons were about to be shattered into oblivion.
The disturbance reached all directions, audible even from a million li away.
The tall figure of the Imperial Clan's Quasi-Monarch stood high in the sky above the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, his aura shocking the world. One grand tomb of a Supreme Powerhouse after another violently shook, cracked, and rose from the ground, appearing in the sky above.
Were it not for the suppression of the Great Dao of the myriad heavens' Supreme Powerhouses within the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, the wrath of a Quasi-Monarch would have been enough to level an entire domain. But even now, it was terrifying enough.
The Imperial Clan's supreme Quasi-Monarch of this generation had personally come, leading the clan's powerhouses across an unstable passage from the Chaos Burial Ground, all to reclaim the Ancient Emperor inheritance belonging to this Imperial Clan.
On one hand, it was to reclaim the Ancient Emperor inheritance; on the other, it was to allow the Imperial Clan's Heaven's Prides to grow within this Heaven-Fall Mausoleum.
For this was the burial ground of countless Supreme Powerhouses, containing too many Great Dao legacies, even those of Divine Kings and Ancient Monarchs, which could allow the entire Imperial Clan to rise significantly as a whole, gradually returning to its peak from decline.
But now, the Quasi-Monarch discovered that aside from himself, the soul jades of all other clan members had shattered, including the Imperial Princess. Clearly, there was no other outcome—they must have been slain.
He was furious. As the Supreme Powerhouse responsible for leading the Imperial Clan's Heaven's Prides this time, with the Imperial Princess among them—the hope of the Imperial Clan, the greatest hope for leading the declining Imperial Clan back to glorious prosperity—had unknowingly fallen, sending him into a rage.
An indestructible supreme demonic body stood within the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, erupting with black light. The Great Dao suppression of this part of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum could not affect him much.
"Who dares to kill my clan's Imperial Princess!"
The Imperial Clan's Quasi-Monarch roared incessantly, rampaging through the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, supreme Dao principles wantonly erupting. Many Rotten Gods and Demons were directly swept away, and many grand tombs were violently uprooted, leveled to the ground.
He wanted to hunt down those who dared to attack the Imperial Princess.
However, the Great Dao suppression of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum had worn away many auras. Even a powerful Quasi-Monarch could not effectively deduce who had killed the Imperial Princess and could only search blindly.
At the same time, due to the roars of the Bone Demon Imperial Clan's Quasi-Monarch, the other four Imperial Clans learned of this news, causing a huge uproar. The powerful Bone Demon Imperial Clan had actually been wiped out, including the Ancient Imperial Princess. What a shocking event.
But it was undeniable; otherwise, why would the Imperial Clan's Quasi-Monarch be so enraged, revealing the whole truth?
"Could it be a contingency left by an external Emperor or supreme Immortal, causing the Bone Demon Imperial Clan to be almost completely annihilated?"
The four Imperial Clans were all apprehensive, clearly still unaware that it was the humans who had acted, nor did they know that from the other end of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, various Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and many other forces had entered.
"The Bone Demon Imperial Clan's Imperial Princess has already fallen. Even a powerful Imperial Princess like her has perished, and she had already stepped into the Divine King realm. So don't think the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum is always safe; there is no absolute safety here!"
The princes and princesses of the other four Imperial Clans wore grave expressions. They had originally wanted the Quasi-Monarchs to separate so they could go out to train, but the incident of the Bone Demon Imperial Clan's Imperial Princess's fall changed their attitude. They no longer dared to be so arrogant.
No matter when, caution was paramount.
The Quasi-Monarchs of the four Imperial Clans naturally followed closely, protecting their respective Imperial Clan's princes and princesses.
On the other side, the human powerhouses were solemn. The situation was not optimistic. Someone could actually emerge from there? That was the sinister land that, in the previous era, had cost the lives of several Emperors and supreme Immortals to be resealed—an absolute forbidden land that caused people throughout the Chaos Sea to pale at the mention.
Fortunately, although the beings emerging from the Chaos Burial Ground were powerful, the strongest had not reached the level of an Ancient Monarch, at most infinitely close, residing in the Quasi-Monarch domain. Otherwise, the appearance of a universe overlord of that level would be a major problem.
Of course, the situation was still not optimistic. After all, five Imperial Clans had emerged from the Chaos Burial Ground, each possessing a Quasi-Monarch and multiple Divine King powerhouses, far stronger than ordinary Imperial Clans or Immortal Clans.
Moreover, the exact locations of the other Ancient Imperial Clans were unclear. After these Ancient Imperial Clans from the Chaos Burial Ground entered the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, they quickly separated, seemingly unaware of the situation on the Heavenly Emperor's World side. Their main purpose was to retrieve their respective Ancient Emperor inheritances.
"Be careful. Although the other side's overall strength individually is not extremely high, they do have Quasi-Monarch level beings, not simple peak Divine King old antiques. And having five Imperial Clans means there are at least five Quasi-Monarchs. Also, don't forget the five Domain Lords, who are at least Quasi-Monarchs, with the First and Second Domain Lords being true Monarchs," Ye Chen spoke, bringing the human powerhouses who had just wiped out an Ancient Imperial Clan back from their excitement to a more somber state.
Indeed, there were too many dangers within the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, some known, some unknown, because at the very least, there existed terrifying beings comparable to Ancient Monarchs, such as the one that shattered the Heaven-Piercing Divine Bridge.
There were also rumors that the Heavenly Emperor had not disappeared but had entered the deepest part of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, carrying boundless faith power, posing a great calamity that one had to guard against.
In short, while within the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, one must never be careless, or they might ultimately face the most terrible blow.
After annihilating the Bone Demon Imperial Clan, the human side's momentum grew even greater. Wherever they passed, they were invincible, impossible to oppose.
Other Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and other supreme forces all avoided them, not daring in the slightest to provoke the current humans, who had truly fought their way to an invincible reputation. Whoever dared to provoke them was undoubtedly seeking death.
At the same time, the human side left behind more Heaven's Pride talents, activating many Divine King grand tombs for them to contemplate and cultivate in seclusion, hoping that one day they could soon step into the Divine King domain and become the true backbone of the human race to resist foreign races.
Similarly, this place was also a safer area.
They deduced that in the struggle for the Sovereign Dao inheritance in the deepest parts, even Divine Kings now only possessed self-preservation power. Entering the depths without reaching the Divine King realm was simply suicidal.
Soon, the human powerhouses truly stepped into the deeper parts of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum. The mountain-like grand tombs appeared even more magnificent and imposing, many piercing the clouds, tall and extraordinary, carrying a thick pressure. They buried extremely fearsome Supreme Powerhouses, not to be underestimated.
At the same time, clearly visible over a hundred thousand li away, in the deepest part of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum where mountain ranges stood, faint yet brilliant light soared into the sky, erupting with myriad divine principles. Moreover, a supreme and matchless Ancient Emperor majesty slowly spread, stirring hearts.
Needless to say, whether it was the Immortal Pond or the Ancient Emperor inheritance, they were likely in the deepest part over a hundred thousand li away.
Similarly, the other Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and many other forces saw this, each revealing blazing light in their eyes. Clearly, they were all extremely tempted, for that was a true supreme treasure and immortal opportunity. No one could remain truly calm before such a heaven-defying immortal opportunity.
"Let's go! It's not far, right ahead!"
Throughout the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, countless powerhouses transformed into streams of light rushing over, charging toward the deepest part.
The closer they got, the more intense the supreme majesty became. Even powerful Divine Kings trembled, almost prostrating in submission.
Finally, everyone arrived at a vast plain—a Bloody Plain. As far as the eye could see, it was immensely huge, exceeding a million li, barren with not a blade of grass, a stretch of scorched earth stained with the blood of Gods and Demons from Supreme Powerhouses of the past—an absolute forbidden land.
Staying here long-term, even a Great Power would be unable to endure, ground to dust by the killing intent left by countless Supreme Powerhouses on this plain.
But right in the center of the Bloody Plain, above it, five incomparably magnificent mountain peaks floated, far larger than the grand tombs of other Supreme Powerhouses. Their entire bodies overflowed with an epoch-shattering, peerless majesty—
The Sovereign's Tomb!
