Heavenly Emperor!
The Heavenly Emperor who had disappeared for over a hundred years!
He had retreated to the shadows, becoming the mastermind, and had been secretly scheming for tens of thousands of years, all for the day he could break the seals of the Chaos Burial Ground, allowing this absolute Forbidden Land of the Chaos Sea, which had once buried an entire Era Epoch, to reappear and display its peerless, terrifying might.
Ye Chen's expression turned icy. "So it is him. Secluded for over a hundred years, he was hiding here all along, looking down upon the entire Heavenly Emperor Realm!"
Boom! Rumble—
The five Sovereign's Tomb spacetimes suddenly trembled violently. The five Ancient Emperor tombs shook fiercely, columns of intense Imperial Dao light shooting into the sky, one after another merging into the Immortal Divine Altar.
In a daze, it seemed as if the five Sovereign's Tombs were awakening, as if the buried Ancient Emperors were about to revive, with overwhelming Imperial Dao auras surging forth.
Within the five imperial clans, everyone's expressions changed. Even they had not anticipated this scene—the tombs of their own clan's Ancient Emperors were undergoing such an abnormal transformation.
"Imperial Father!"
The four imperial princes and princesses called out personally, but the Sovereign's Tombs shook without any response. Instead, they slowly began to rise, gradually ascending to the highest point of the firmament, aiming to reach the same level as the divine altar.
The four imperial princes and princesses immediately addressed the Heavenly Emperor upon the Immortal Divine Altar, speaking urgently, "May we ask the supreme Heavenly Emperor, why have our forefathers' tombs undergone such an anomaly?"
"The Sovereign's Tomb seems to be undergoing a startling change. What is the reason?"
The Heavenly Emperor stood high above, his true form indistinct, only known to be supremely majestic and peerless. Looking down with heartless indifference, he spoke, "Although the five Ancient Emperors have passed, their wills are immortal. Now, they too shall contribute a portion of their power to break the seals of the Chaos Burial Ground, to fully open them!"
Boom! Rumble—
Under the Heavenly Emperor's guidance, five beams of Imperial Dao light fiercely erupted from the five Sovereign's Tombs, piercing through layers of illusion to strike the very top.
Crack—
Visible to the naked eye, at the very edge of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, in the infinite depths of the firmament, boundless ancient chaos energy suddenly appeared, a vast expanse of gray mist, impossible to see through clearly.
It was as if the entire Chaos Sea was manifesting above the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
But at this moment, illuminated by the five beams of Imperial Dao light, faintly visible on the other side of the deep chaos, there was a majestic great universe. One by one, supremely majestic figures were gradually awakening, their auras overwhelming. Even separated by the great seals, their mere threads of presence could shake the mortal world.
The legendary Chaos Burial Ground had finally appeared. That absolute Forbidden Land of the Chaos Sea, which inspired terror at its mere mention, housed the most fearsome Ancient Emperors and supreme Heavenly Emperors. It had once caused an entire Era Epoch to be buried, its hands stained with infinite blood.
In ancient times, one Emperor and Supreme Immortal after another had taken action to finally seal the Chaos Burial Ground.
In the subsequent ages, there were also Emperors and Supreme Immortals who, while opening the Origin Ancient Path, accidentally broke the seals, paying the price of several Emperors and Supreme Immortals falling before resealing it. Now, it was about to be unsealed once more.
It seemed as if an infinite storm of blood and carnage was about to sweep across heaven and earth, drawing near.
"It's the Chaos Burial Ground!"
"The most terrifying Forbidden Land that once buried an entire Era Epoch!"
"My clan's Immortal Ancestor once mentioned that to seal this Forbidden Land back then, even Supreme Immortals from our Primordial Immortal Realm paid a bloody price, and Supreme Ones fell. It wasn't during the war of the last Era Epoch, but in an even more distant age."
The powerhouses of the All Heavens were all changing expressions, especially the imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and other Supreme One inheritance forces. They understood the terror of the Chaos Burial Ground far better than others.
This was a true Forbidden Land of the Chaos Sea that even Emperors, Supreme Immortals, and other Supreme Ones would speak of with changed expressions. Recorded in ancient texts were bloody records of the Chaos Sea being dyed red, of chaos ancient universes collapsing because of it, and infinite living beings being buried.
Even to the present day, after endless ages had passed, this Forbidden Land was still widely known, considered by countless to be one of the most fearsome, a place not to be tread lightly.
Now, being so close to this peerless Forbidden Land, no one could remain calm.
"Is the seal finally about to be broken, allowing our Chaos Burial Ground to truly emerge into the world?"
A cold, heartless voice came from within the Chaos Burial Ground. It was an overwhelming Imperial Dao Supreme One speaking. He possessed an immortal imperial body, vaster than the starry sky itself, as if the myriad realms of the All Heavens submitted around him.
His Imperial Dao aura shook the world, seeming to tear through all illusions as it descended from the hazy Chaos Burial Ground.
However, before the Chaos Burial Ground, faintly visible was an unparalleled ancient formation, terrifyingly vast, even covering the entire Chaos Burial Ground. Waves of Emperor Dao, Immortal Dao, and other Supreme One auras bloomed, performing the sealing. This was precisely the great sealing formation left behind by the Emperors, Supreme Immortals, and other Supreme Ones of the All Heavens in ancient times.
Although it had once been pierced through, it was later successfully restored to completeness.
Boom! Rumble—
Outside the Heavenly Emperor Realm, nine heavenly suns hung in the sky, including the one on the Origin Ancient Path, making ten heavenly suns in total. All were left behind by ancient Emperors and Supreme Immortals. They fiercely unleashed waves of Supreme One fluctuations that shook the ages, applying suppression.
"Damnation! An entire Era Epoch has passed, yet the Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao heavenly suns they left behind still exist, constantly performing the sealing, making the sealing formation perpetually self-renewing, eternal and indestructible through the ages!"
An Ancient Emperor spoke, filled with infinite coldness and chilling intent.
He greatly wished to shatter this damned sealing formation but knew it was impossible. Otherwise, throughout these endless ages, they would not have remained in a sealed state, unable to emerge.
Upon the Immortal Divine Altar, the Heavenly Emperor spoke, "Everyone, there is no need to worry excessively. The time has arrived. It won't be long before you can truly break this sealing formation and truly emerge!"
"Understood!"
The Ancient Emperors of the Chaos Burial Ground responded. However, what left many somewhat stunned was the lack of much respect in their tone.
It must be known that within the Chaos Burial Ground, there were three Heavenly Emperors, all of the strongest Emperor level. Within the Chaos Burial Ground, they held an unparalleled status, akin to the position of Immortal Kings in the Primordial Immortal Realm—supremely revered. Even other Ancient Emperors should show respect. Now, it seemed somewhat different.
"This is bad! The so-called Imperial Dao inheritance competition never existed. From the very beginning, it was a grand conspiracy orchestrated by the Heavenly Emperor, luring the imperial clans and Immortal Clans of the All Heavens inside to obtain Supreme One bloodlines, to better open the ancient seals. Back when the Chaos Burial Ground was sealed, these imperial clans' and Immortal Clans' Supreme Ones also took action. Using their Supreme One bloodlines to break the seals is most effective!"
An Immortal Clan Divine King elder spoke up like this, his expression extremely grim. The other imperial clans and Immortal Clans were the same, finally understanding the Heavenly Emperor's true intention.
