The tomb of the peerless Ancient Emperor actually spanned the center of the Bloody Plains. Though it didn't appear particularly large, everyone felt the same eerie sensation that "no mountain could be greater than this," as if even the myriad stars in the sky seemed minuscule in comparison.
"Truly worthy of an Ancient Emperor, a Supreme One spoken of in the same breath as Great Emperors and Supreme Immortals. A Sovereign's tomb is indeed extraordinary."
Many felt their hearts tremble, yet the light blazing from their eyes grew even more fervent.
Those capable of setting foot here were essentially all true great powers. Ordinary powerhouses couldn't tread this ground, for the majesty of the five Ancient Emperors was too dense and vast. Even though they had fallen, the majesty of a Supreme One could not be desecrated; it could still cause the All Heavens to tremble and shatter.
"Though it appears small, it is in reality far more vast and immense than imagined, containing supreme Sovereign-Emperor principles within. An entire star domain would likely seem utterly minuscule within a Sovereign's tomb." The human Divine Kings were powerful enough to naturally discern the truth.
The five Sovereign tombs didn't seem very large, but in reality, they were far bigger than imagined, even larger than this Bloody Plains. It was only because the five Sovereign tombs had twisted the laws of space-time that they appeared not too large, similar to other great graves.
At the same time, the various imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and many other forces arrived at the Bloody Plains, saw the five Sovereign tombs, and revealed scorching gazes.
On the other side of the Bloody Plains, several unfamiliar powerful races also appeared, emerging across the sky.
Their leaders were all extremely powerful. Even in the deepest part of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, several blazing Dao lights flickered from them, difficult to suppress much. They were all true super-powerhouses among Divine Kings, likely top-tier experts who had undergone six Divine King Tribulations or more, astonishingly strong.
"Are they the royal clans of the Chaos Burial Ground?"
The human powerhouses all wore solemn expressions. That was the Chaos Burial Ground, a forbidden land of the Chaos Sea. No one could afford to ignore it; even Emperors and Supreme Immortals would treat it with gravity.
The other imperial clans, Immortal Clans, Mythical Emperor Domain, and other forces also discovered these Chaos Burial Ground royal clans. Naturally, the latter noticed them as well, revealing shock.
Because these were all powerhouses.
"Who are these people? Why have we never seen them before?"
The various Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants were suspicious and alarmed. They were powerful, having successively stepped into the Divine King realm over the years. Even in this deepest part of the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum, the Bloody Plains, they could see vast distances and observed that the leading young talents from the four Ancient Emperor clans were all powerful, not inferior to them, yet they had never seen them before.
But who were they? They were the strongest descendants of peerless Supreme Ones like Emperors and Supreme Immortals. They knew much and were exceedingly intelligent. They immediately realized that these four races were most likely related to the Chaos Burial Ground, similar to the Bone Devil royal clan.
Moreover, not too many, not too few—adding the Bone Devil royal clan made exactly five races. In all likelihood, they were the descendant royal clans of the five fallen Ancient Emperors from the Chaos Burial Ground.
Upon thinking of this, the various Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants felt not the slightest bit of fear. On the contrary, they were filled with excitement and, imperceptibly, swept a glance at the humans.
In the past, the Qin family, an imperial clan of the humans, were descendants of the First Emperor who had conquered the Chaos Burial Ground. Not long ago, the humans had also dealt with the Bone Devil royal clan.
The human race was currently powerful and growing. If they were to contend with the humans, aside from forming alliances, their hopes were truly slim. But if they could now draw the remaining four royal clans of the Chaos Burial Ground to oppose the human forces, even if the four royal clans might still not match the humans, they could absolutely greatly weaken human strength. Why not do it?
The various Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants had clearly all thought of the same thing and nodded slightly to each other.
"The remaining four royal clans of the Chaos Burial Ground have appeared. The Quasi-Monarch of the Bone Devil royal clan might also appear. If he does, it will be a big trouble." Ye Chen frowned slightly, after all, it was the humans who had pacified the Bone Devil royal clan.
The Angel Imperial Son said softly, "Everyone, be careful. Our human race is currently powerful and continuously growing stronger, but this has also attracted countless jealousies. The various imperial clans and Immortal Clans are all wary. Though they dare not act openly, they are certainly unwilling to watch our human race continue to grow stronger. They will likely set traps in the shadows for our race to step into, and may even guide the several royal clans of the Chaos Burial Ground to target us."
As Emperor Sons and Daughters, the strongest young Supreme Ones, they naturally saw through things clearly.
Di Wushuang also spoke, "Ordinary Divine Kings, our human race does not fear. But Quasi-Monarchs are truly strong, only a step away from being Ancient Monarchs. Looking at the humans who have entered the Heaven-Fall Mausoleum so far, there are temporarily no Supreme Powerhouses of that level."
This was worrying. Although the Ye family and Qin family had ancient Divine Kings at the peak of the Divine King realm, they weren't considered Quasi-Monarchs. Only after a breakthrough, like the former Tongtian Old Divine King, could one be considered a true Quasi-Monarch, far more powerful.
Though the human race was very strong, truly facing a Quasi-Monarch, perhaps relying on numerous Divine Kings they could contend, but the Chaos Burial Ground had brought five royal clan Quasi-Monarchs. That was the most troublesome point.
Unfortunately, the Great Emperor reincarnation body needed to remain stationed in the Battle Saint Hall; otherwise, there would be no need for such caution, as everything could be swept through.
Ye Chen said, "Everyone need not worry too much. When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a path. Moreover, the primary purpose of the Chaos Burial Ground royal clans coming here is to reclaim the Ancient Emperor inheritances belonging to their respective royal clans. Before that, as long as they understand our human race's overall strength, they won't immediately start a war, as it would greatly deplete their vital forces, which is unfavorable for contending for the Ancient Emperor inheritances."
Upon hearing this, the others nodded, agreeing it made sense. Facing so many formidable enemies, even sworn enemies would likely temporarily set aside their grudges, choosing to obtain the Ancient Emperor inheritances as the first priority.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
From the edge of the Bloody Plains, the human powerhouses transformed into streams of light, swiftly charging toward the location of the five Sovereign tombs at the center.
The other imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and many other forces naturally refused to fall behind and rushed over. No one was willing to give up the Sovereign Dao inheritances of the five Ancient Emperors.
The four royal clans opposite also charged over. Among them, a Quasi-Monarch of the Bone Devil royal clan also appeared, sovereign over the All Heavens, his aura incomparably powerful.
He detected the various powerful forces from the outside world—the imperial clans, Immortal Clans, Mythical Emperor Domain, and others—and immediately his gaze blazed fiercely. He suspected that the destruction of his entire royal clan was likely related to them. His towering demonic body spanned the sky, flickering with terrifying world-destroying light.
Though he very much wanted to find the true culprit, he also greatly desired to obtain the Ancient Emperor inheritance, become a new Ancient Emperor, and reign supreme across past and present.
Roar— Waa—
Ang— Chirp, chirp, chirp—
...
Suddenly, the vast land of the Bloody Plains, dyed red by the blood of countless Supreme Powerhouses, silently tore apart, revealing numerous pitch-black chasms and abysses. From them surged forth numerous figures—all rotting gods and demons, their numbers uncountable.
