"Young master, since he wants a fragmentary map of the Heaven Burial Tomb, it's highly likely he intends to go there and investigate," the black-robed elder suddenly whispered to Jiang Hua.
"Go to the Heaven Burial Tomb to investigate? How could that be! Only those old-timers and ancient patriarchs in the cosmos with truly overwhelming strength dare go to the Heaven Burial Tomb for investigation. He's just a junior boy. While he does have some ability, how could he dare to go to the Heaven Burial Tomb?" Jiang Hua found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Young master, this kid is a bit odd. He's proficient in spatial energy, and his movement techniques are extremely strange. Perhaps he really dares to go to the Heaven Burial Tomb," the black-robed elder said softly.
"Fifth Ancestor is currently investigating the Heaven Burial Tomb. Immediately send this kid's appearance and Soul Power aura to Fifth Ancestor. If this kid dares to go to the Heaven Burial Tomb, have Fifth Ancestor take care of him." Jiang Hua thought for a moment before speaking.
"Understood. Young master, you can rest assured. With Fifth Ancestor's strength, killing this kid would be as easy as flipping a hand," the black-robed elder replied.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei's flying ship had already left Tianmu Star and entered starry space, heading towards another planet within the Tianmu Star Domain. From afar, it appeared to be a planet utterly devoid of radiance. With sparse Spiritual Qi and indistinct laws, it was completely unsuited for living beings to inhabit or cultivate.
"Seems there are quite a few people active on it, and they're all truly formidable powerhouses," Ye Yunfei's expression suddenly shifted as he detected numerous people moving about on that planet.
"It seems what Chen Qingqing said is true. Strange movements emanating from the Heaven Burial Tomb have attracted many powerful beings from across the cosmos to come investigate," the Giant Arm said.
"We must act cautiously. The Heaven Burial Tomb is one of the most mysterious places in the Canghuang Realm. Anyone daring to come here to investigate its movements is definitely a being of extraordinary strength. Ordinary martial artists wouldn't dare come to the Heaven Burial Tomb," the Giant Arm advised.
"I understand," Ye Yunfei nodded.
A short while later.
Ye Yunfei's flying ship quietly landed on the planet.
*Dong!*
Suddenly, a dull sound rang out, as if someone was forcefully beating a drum, or like the heartbeat of some terrifying creature. Ye Yunfei's body jolted rigid, and his heart stabbed with a sharp pain, as if struck by lightning.
"That's the strange movement coming from within the Heaven Burial Tomb!" the Giant Arm exclaimed.
"Ahead lies a stretch of primeval ruins. The Heaven Burial Tomb is located within the core area of these ruins," the Giant Arm said to Ye Yunfei. Earlier, it had been his guidance that led Ye Yunfei to land at this specific location.
Ye Yunfei stored his flying ship, moved forward, heading onward together with the Giant Arm.
This was a broken, desolate place, almost barren of any vegetation, consisting entirely of scorched earth and cracked stones, with debris scattered everywhere. A mysterious, unsettling aura coiled and drifted over this stretch of land. This was a land that had been abandoned!
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm pressed onward. A short while later, they finally arrived within the core region of these ruins.
Here remained an expansive, vacant, ruined land, with faint black mist coiling in the air.
Suspended within this vast emptiness was a spatial rift of massive scale.
The edges of this spatial rift were highly irregular, clearly the result of having been violently smashed open. Whatever force had torn open space to create such a large rift was, without a doubt, some earth-shattering, terrifying entity.
Looking inside from the outside, one could clearly see that within the rift lay a Small World!
"Inside there is the Heaven Burial Tomb," the Giant Arm told Ye Yunfei.
*Dong!*
At this moment, another dull sound rang out, causing Ye Yunfei's heart to involuntarily throb in response. This muffled sound seemed to contain a certain sorcery!
Currently, around this spatial rift, there were at least a few dozen powerful figures. Some stood on the ground, others hovered in mid-air; some rode upon fearsome fierce beasts, while others sat cross-legged on flying treasures. Each had a formidable, imposing air, with terrifying auras.
The energy pressure these powerhouses released was too terrifying, preventing Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm from daring to approach any closer.
"Quick! Take out the Sky-Shading Cover and conceal my aura! Among these fellows, at least three recognize me!" the Giant Arm urgently transmitted via Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei immediately retrieved the Sky-Shading Cover, directly activated it, and infused it into the Giant Arm, merging it as one.
"Hmm? There's a little brat who actually ran here. Which family's scion is this?" At this point, several of the powerhouses began noticing Ye Yunfei, their gazes sweeping over, feeling somewhat surprised.
Because the Heaven Burial Tomb was an inauspicious place. Under normal circumstances, only those true powerhouses of the older generation from across the cosmic starry expanse dared come to this location.
In fact, even those true veterans of the older generation dared only enter the peripheral areas of the Heaven Burial Tomb, not venturing into its core regions.
Within the Canghuang Realm, the higher-ups of every major power would sternly admonish their younger disciples to absolutely never set foot in the Heaven Burial Tomb!
Thus, these powerhouses were all somewhat surprised to suddenly find a young man arriving.
"Kid, leave. This is not a place you should come to," a tall, mighty elder looked towards Ye Yunfei and spoke. His pupils were pale gold, faint lightning sparks seeming to flash within them. The aura surrounding his body was vast and profound like the ocean, causing the surrounding space to tremble faintly. Beside him stood a beast resembling a lion but with the golden head of a Jiao dragon. It stood dozens of meters tall, its entire body swirling with golden radiance, standing amidst the ruins like a small mountain.
"Thank you for the reminder," Ye Yunfei replied.
This elder seemed to be merely giving a warning, not displaying any malicious intent.
"Interesting. A kid with audacious courage. Did your elders not warn you that the Heaven Burial Tomb must not be approached?" A figure shrouded entirely in purple mist spoke.
"Humph. An ignorant whelp who doesn't know the meaning of danger, truly tired of living," from another position, a Daoist priest clad in Daoist robes shook his head and sneered.
The gazes of the other powerhouses also cast towards Ye Yunfei's direction one after another.
However, these powerhouses merely felt a slight surprise at Ye Yunfei's arrival, not paying excessive attention. After all, a kid with mere Domain Realm strength was nothing more than an ant in their eyes.
Soon, these powerhouses' gazes once again peered into the depths of the Heaven Burial Tomb.
*Dong... dong...*
Suddenly, several consecutive dull sounds transmitted from within the Heaven Burial Tomb.
Ye Yunfei's heart thumped several times in response.
"Could it be that the legends are true? That back then, that corpse actually wasn't dead, but rather stayed here in the Heaven Burial Tomb to seclude itself and recuperate from its injuries, and would one day revive anew? Now, has that corpse's heart begun to beat, about to resurrect?" A scholarly-looking middle-aged man dressed like a xiucai (imperial scholar) spoke.
"If that corpse from back then truly revives, it could very well spell a cataclysm for our Canghuang Realm! Back then, when that corpse first descended, simply the energy pressure it released alone obliterated several top-tier powerhouses of our Canghuang Realm. Once that corpse truly revives, I'm afraid none in our Canghuang Realm would be a match for him!" an elder shrouded in a black robe said in a grave tone.
"Could that corpse from back then possibly resurrect?" Hearing the powerhouses' words, Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm were profoundly shaken.
At this very moment.
"Humph! A brash kid who dares to provoke a disciple of our Tianfu Star Sea Jiang Family." Right then, an elder clad in grey robes suddenly cast his gaze towards Ye Yunfei's direction and coldly remarked.
