After instructing the remaining survivors in the clan to prepare to evacuate, the second elder flashed to his elder brother's side. At this moment, his gaze was unprecedentedly solemn.
He did not speak immediately after arriving. Instead, he stared fixedly at his elder brother. His eyes were filled with expectation and a trace of suspicion.
If it were anyone else, they might have been deceived by his elder brother's performance. However, in his opinion, the more his elder brother acted this way, the more it proved that he was hiding some unknown secret in his heart.
At this moment, the two of them were extremely close to each other. He carefully observed his elder brother's facial expression and keenly noticed a trace of unnaturalness on his elder brother's face.
Although this trace of unnaturalness quickly disappeared, there was one thing that he was extremely certain of. His elder brother had not told them the truth earlier.
"Elder brother, there's no one else here now. You can tell me now if there's anything."
After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he was about to speak. However, the second elder of the Horned Demon Race was still worried. He once again set up a soundproof barrier and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing. Just do as the Old Man says. You don't have to worry about anything else. These things have nothing to do with you in the first place."
Up until now, the Great Elder of the Horned Demon Race was still unwilling to reveal the truth to his younger brother. The truth of the matter was simply too unbelievable. Even he, who knew a little about the inside story, felt his scalp tingle at the thought of it. His entire body trembled uncontrollably.
"Is the real tomb of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor on this planet?"
Seeing that his elder brother was still so tight-lipped, the second elder tried to test the waters by directly telling him some of the things he knew.
After that, he was certain that he could only believe a little bit of what his elder brother had said. The rest of it was all nonsense.
"Where did you find out about this?
You must know that in the entire race, there are no more than two people who know about this. Other than the patriarch and me, there shouldn't be anyone else who knows about this. Where did you find out about this? "
As expected, the second elder, who had been paying attention to his elder brother's performance, discovered that his elder brother was forcefully pretending to be calm.
Previously, he only had his suspicions, but now, seeing his big brother lose his composure, he was certain.
His previous guess was right. It was definitely unusual for the Earth Fire on the surface of the planet to suddenly disappear. There must be something that he didn't know about.
"How do you know? It's obvious. Big Brother, you should be able to guess it. You should know that the Heaven, Earth, and Man Tripartite Formation can't stop any human with some cultivation.
In the Cultivation World, some of the stronger forces would not even choose the weakest defensive formation like the Heaven, Earth, and Man Tripartite Formation as the defensive formation used by the Sect Protection Formation.
Since the three stars guarding the Sky-devouring Devil Emperor were all stars, in other words, there was no reason for the person who set up this formation to choose such a weak formation with such a large target as the formation material. Since all the formation eyes were these three stars, and because the other three stars were all suns, there was no reason for the person who set up this formation to choose such a weak formation.
"The only loophole is under our feet, this planet that is emitting flames. The sudden eruption of the planet just now once again proved that some of my previous conjectures were true.
As expected, as an emperor, the formation used to protect his mausoleum would not be a simple Heaven, Earth, and Man Tripartite Formation. If it was the Four Symbols Celestial Formation, it would be possible. "
Completely ignoring his elder brother's shocked gaze, the second elder of the Horned Demon Race continued to talk about some of the inside information he knew.
"Hmm?!"
The Great Elder of the Cornea Race snorted in displeasure when he saw his younger brother's reaction. He fixed his gaze on the Second Elder of the Horned Demon Race, causing the Second Elder of the Horned Demon Race to feel a little apprehensive. The Great Elder then retracted his gaze. His gaze drifted to the distant sky, where the three suns shone brightly. The corners of his mouth curled into a bitter smile.
"I must be a little too sensitive.
The Devouring Heaven Emperor's matter is something that my race only vaguely guessed after arriving here.
Now that I think about it, that guy's behavior just now seemed to be very interested in our physical bodies. I think that he captured so many people because he wanted to absorb the essence of our flesh and blood to make up for his constantly collapsing physical body.
Instead, it was the change in the ground just now and the tremors underground that aroused that person's suspicions.
Previously, whether it was his understanding of us or the Flesh Filling Tombstone, it was merely information that he obtained from some records. This only shows that he has a wide range of knowledge. Instead, it was our display of strength just now that aroused his suspicions.
However, since this has already happened, we can only accept it. Later on, think of a way to contact the tribe leader and see if we can temporarily return to the Tian Yuan World. This place is no longer safe. Later on, this place will definitely become a dangerous place where various factions will fight each other.
Based on that person's understanding of our race, it is very likely that he has already guessed where this place is. Combined with our previous behavior, it is not difficult to find clues.
This is because the Devouring Heaven Emperor's mausoleum is related to the existence of a saint grade Dao Artifact. It is not something that any faction can simply give up on. Therefore, the existence of our race is something that all factions want to occupy. Based on the strength that that person has displayed before, although his cultivation is extremely strong, it is still not enough to break the Four Symbols Celestial Formation outside the mausoleum. Once other people find out about this place, our race will never have a day of peace. "
He laughed bitterly, then explained his analysis to his younger brother. Although his tone was very indifferent, it was not difficult to hear a trace of uneasiness in his voice.
"Big brother, aren't you overthinking it? Actually, the matter is not as complicated as you think.
Let's not talk about other things first. Just based on your previous deduction, it proves that that person should know that our race has a divine artifact like the Flesh Filling Tombstone.
If that is the case, no matter where our race hides, it is very likely that he will find us.
In fact, in my opinion, it is not a big deal to give the Flesh Filling Tombstone to him. "
The Second Elder did not think much of it. He was very confident in himself, especially after confirming the location of the Devouring Heaven Emperor's mausoleum. He had some thoughts about the saint grade Dao Artifact. Now that he saw his elder brother's attitude, he could not help but feel angry.
"Give it to him?!
Do you know what state the Flesh Filling Tombstone is in now?
Once that person obtains the Flesh Filling Tombstone, based on his current physical strength, he will definitely use the Flesh Filling Tombstone to think of a way to strengthen his physical body.
Are you muddle-headed? Don't you know that the activation of the Flesh Filling Tombstone requires a large amount of blood and qi as energy?
With his current physical strength, how can he have such a large amount of blood and qi?
If he really obtains the Flesh Filling Tombstone on the spot, you and I will not be spared.
Even the many of our race that he captured will all die under the Flesh Filling Tombstone's ability to easily control a large amount of blood and qi. "
Rolling his eyes at his younger brother, the First Elder slammed his walking stick on the ground. His face was filled with anger. When he saw his younger brother's nonchalant expression, the anger in his heart became even more vigorous. In the eyes of the Second Elder, his elder brother's face was filled with distress at this moment.
"Big Brother, don't tell me that the reason this formation could last for so long was because the Flesh Filling Tombstone acted as the core of the formation that transforms blood and qi?" Hearing his elder brother's words, the Second Elder of the Horned Demon Race came to a realization.
One had to know that he had participated in the setting up of this formation.
Originally, he was still puzzled as to why the formation was so powerful. Now that he thought about it, someone must have enhanced it.
After all, he knew better than anyone else how powerful the formation that he had participated in setting up was. However, the formation's performance just now had truly exceeded his expectations. When he saw that it had displayed such a strong defensive power before, he thought that it was in exchange for the blood sacrifice of his race.
Now that he heard his elder brother's words, he finally realized how laughable his previous thoughts were.
Originally, he had some doubts about some of his previous thoughts, but in front of his elder brother's words, they no longer seemed so important.
As for whether or not he wanted to continue the previous topic, he no longer held much hope in his previous thoughts. After all, his elder brother was very busy and did not have the time to argue with him.
"Don't you find it strange?
For the past million years, it has always been the Old Man who has been protecting the Flesh Filling Tombstone.
Do you still remember that three hundred years ago, you once tried to obtain the Flesh Filling Tombstone from me to study how to use it? At the time, I told you that it had already been lost. In fact, I had already embedded it into this formation at that time. "The First Elder looked at his younger brother and knocked his walking stick again as he explained.
"Elder brother, it seems that many of your actions today are extremely inconsistent with your previous personality. Did you do this because you knew something beforehand? Otherwise, why would you suddenly think of embedding the Flesh Filling Tombstone into the formation?"
The Second Elder of the Horned Demon Race was a little confused when he heard his elder brother's words. Previously, he had some vague thoughts, but now that he heard his elder brother's words, he suddenly thought of something else.
"It seems that you have also thought of it. That's right. Someone once made a prediction for the future of our race, clearly stating that our race would definitely perish.
Actually, it's time to tell you.
It was something that happened ninety million years ago. Even if I tell you now, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Back then, our race wasn't in such dire straits. At the time, the Horned Demon Race was still the overlord of the underground abyss!
Back then, an extremely powerful person came to our race. This person's abilities were far beyond what you and I could fathom. This person's origins and unknown identity were also concealed, but because he was very good friends with one of our progenitors, he once stayed in our race for a period of time. At the time, he left behind some words, saying that these things would gradually happen. The experts of our race originally didn't take his words to heart, but as time passed, the things he said came true one after another.
I'll tell you the truth today. The reason our race was able to kill three billion ancient god race members so cleanly back then was because of the guidance given by this person's words back then. Therefore, the reason our race was able to prosper for so long is not unrelated to the words this human powerhouse left behind. "
Since he had already revealed some of the inside information, seeing that his younger brother was still the same, the First Elder couldn't help but sigh inwardly and reveal some even more shocking news.
"What?!"
As expected, when he heard his elder brother say this, the Second Elder of the Horned Demon Race immediately jumped up again.
This news was simply too shocking. He had always been proud of the fact that his race was able to kill billions of ancient god race members in one go back then. Now that he heard these words, his entire heart instantly became empty. The indescribable feeling was unbearable and oppressive, as well as a trace of calmness after the legend was shattered.
Now that he thought about it, the thing that made all the Horned Demon clansmen proud of was that the Horned Demon Race, as an underground race, had once pulled down the high and mighty Nine Heavens God Race in one fell swoop.
Although the Horned Demon Race had also fallen apart because of this great battle and scattered throughout the universe, all the Horned Demon Race's youths had always been young and powerful.
However, up until today, all the young and strong members of the Horned Demon Race had taken it upon themselves to revive the Horned Demon Race's former glory. The reality before his eyes was actually so cruel. For a moment, even with his current mental state, he was somewhat at a loss.
"You don't have to be shocked, it's true. Actually, before today, the Old Man was also half-believing and half-doubting this legend.
It's just that the tremors that occurred on this planet just now caused me to recall some memories. The so-called Nine Heavens Road, the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor, the destruction of gods and demons, and the nirvana of the Heavenly Emperor.
Now that I think about it, it's probably time for our race's survival. The current Nine Heavens God Race is no longer what it used to be, and our Horned Demon Race has also reached its end in recent years.
Back then, our race was defeated and fled to the Tian Yuan World. Later on, because of the war with the humans, we came here by chance. Now that I think about it, it's as if it's the will of the heavens. It's as if there's a pair of invisible hands controlling something from behind the scenes. Now that I think about it, there really isn't much time left. "
Ignoring his younger brother's shock, the Great Elder of the Horned Demon Race faintly said something that would shock the heavens and the earth.
"The destruction of gods and demons, and the nirvana of the Heavenly Emperor?
Don't tell me you're saying that although our race will perish, the Devouring Heaven Emperor will come back to life once again?
What kind of joke is that? The Devouring Heaven Emperor is an almighty being from the ancient times. He's been dead for who knows how many billions of years.
How could he come back to life once again?
Big Brother, I'm a coward. Don't lie to me!
Are you just making up these words to appease people? "
As expected, the Great Elder's words scared the Horned Demon Second Elder so much that his soul almost left his body.
"The God Race was exterminated many years ago, but our race almost went extinct just now as well.
If it weren't for our race's accident that caused us to be stranded here, it seems like the Old Man would have already perished. "The Great Elder sighed and spoke faintly again.
"Since that person's prediction was so accurate, could it be that what he said before was really so accurate?!
To be able to predict things so accurately without any loopholes, this is too miraculous! "
The Second Elder looked at his elder brother with a burning gaze. At this moment, he even had the thought of kowtowing. Combined with his elder brother's previous performance, if his guess wasn't wrong, then the planet's tremors must have saved their race once.
"No. Of the words that person left behind, the first few sentences have already come true. The last two sentences are what I told you just now. Right now, it should be about right.
Alright, Second Brother, since you already know about the current situation, then take everyone and leave this place.
As for the Patriarch, we won't care. If they can escape this calamity, then they're lucky. If they can't, then we still have to work hard to leave behind our bloodline. "The Horned Demon Great Elder sighed and looked deeply at his brother.
With a wave of his hand, he broke the soundproof barrier in front of him and walked into the distance. His back was so bleak and lonely.
"Big Brother, then where are you going?"
Seeing the Horned Demon Great Elder's actions, he was so shocked that he found it hard to imagine why his big brother would say such words at this time. Looking at the direction he was heading, it just so happened to be the epicenter of the previous tremors. He had a bad feeling about this.
"Go!
From today onwards, you are the Horned Demon Race's Great Elder. Old Man still has things to do for the Old Man. As for the Flesh Filling Tombstone, if it's possible, leave it here. That item no longer has the right to continue to be in our race's possession. "
Without turning his head, the Horned Demon Great Elder's indifferent tone came from the sky. The trace of determination in his voice could be heard by anyone.
At this time, the expressions of the other Horned Demon Race members, who had been paying attention to the situation here, changed greatly when they heard these words.
Although they didn't know what the two elders were discussing, it was obvious from the Second Elder's indescribably agitated expression that their race was about to experience a great calamity. Their respectable Great Elder actually wanted to die alone to fight for the future of their race.
