The massive plaza was hidden within the mountain. But with the collapse of the mountain peak, it was completely exposed to everyone's sight.
In particular, there was a figure in the middle of the square that immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It was a green-clothed man. He had a handsome appearance and an imposing figure. He merely stood there without moving, but there was a terrifying aura that vaguely emitted from him, as if he was above the heavens and earth.
Wherever he stood, it was as if he was in a special space. The space there would change and distort according to his will …
Everyone looked at that silhouette. Whether it was a Lesser Earth Sovereign or Mandala, who had just broken through to the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, the Spiritual Energy in their bodies couldn't help trembling when they saw that silhouette.
As for those beneath the Earth Sovereign Realm, the Spiritual Energy in their bodies went violent and they spewed mouthfuls of blood. They immediately retracted their gazes and did not dare to look at that silhouette.
That kind of existence was actually able to injure himself just by looking at him … What kind of terrifying power was this?!
That power was something that not even a Perfected Earth Sovereign like Mandala could possess. So … there was only one answer, the identity of that silhouette …
He was the legendary founder of the Ancient Haven Palace, one of the pinnacle powerhouses of the Great Thousand World in ancient times, the Heavenly Emperor!
The entire Heavenly Emperor Cemetery was in a deathly silence. Everyone was startled as they looked at that azure-clothed silhouette. Clearly, they were shocked by the aura that was being emitted from him.
The shock lasted for a long time before someone gradually recovered from it.
"That … that's the Heavenly Emperor!"
A few trembling voices could not help but ring out, filled with deep reverence and a trace of greed.
The reason why those pinnacle powerhouses of the Greatlaw Continent wanted to come to the Heavenly Emperor Cemetery was naturally the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor.
Or rather …
It was the Peerless Divine Ability of the Heavenly Emperor, the Three Pures!
If they could obtain it, then they would definitely be able to become a pinnacle powerhouse in the Great Thousand World.
Stepping into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm that they could only look at.
"Is that the Celestial Emperor?"
Mu Chen was also a little shocked as he looked at that silhouette. Who could have expected that the Heavenly Emperor would be exposed by the battle between Mandala and Lu Heng?
Xiao Xiao was standing behind Mu Chen.
Lin Jing and Jiu You couldn't help but look up curiously.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The silence between the heavens and earth was broken at this moment. When the top experts saw the Heavenly Emperor's figure, they could no longer hold themselves back. They immediately shot out and appeared outside the huge mountain.
Lu Heng glanced at Mandala before he quickly retreated and moved closer to the area.
Mandala didn't try to stop him this time. She just stared blankly at the green-robed figure.
There were complex emotions surging within.
Back then, she was brought back from the void by the Heavenly Emperor. Back then, she was still young and on the verge of death. However, the Heavenly Emperor forcefully saved her and she has been cultivating in the Ancient Haven Palace ever since.
Back then, when the Fiend Clans attacked, she also wanted to take human form and fight. But she was sealed by the Heavenly Emperor at the last moment, which prevented her from being destroyed along with the Ancient Haven Palace.
Thus, she treated the Heavenly Emperor like a father and a brother.
It was just that when she woke up, everything had changed …
The Ancient Haven Palace was destroyed.
The Heavenly Emperor disappeared, and even she was heavily injured by Lu Heng. She had no choice but to escape with her clone, which resulted in her memories being damaged.
But … no matter what, she couldn't let that traitor, Lu Heng, obtain the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance!
Mandala clenched her fists.
A dense killing intent flashed in her eyes before she soared into the sky and flew towards the mountain.
When Mu Chen and the rest saw this, they immediately followed.
Everyone gathered around the mountain. As they approached, they realised that there was something else beside the Heavenly Emperor.
The Sky Emperor was holding a crystal-like sword in his hand. The sword was extremely simple and unadorned, just like a coarse sword embryo without a sharp edge. However, everyone could sense the terrifying power radiating from the crystal sword.
Every single one of the specks of cold light that were reflected from the crystal sword could cut through space. It was an energy that would cause one to feel horrified.
At this moment, the crystal longsword was stabbed beneath the Heavenly Emperor's feet. There was a pitch-black head that was roughly half a foot in size. The head had already rotted and only the pitch-black skull could be seen.
However, it was precisely this seemingly rotten pitch-black skull that caused everyone present to feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts. That feeling was as though it contained an indescribable evilness.
"That crystal longsword … could it be the legendary Heavenly Emperor Sword that the Heavenly Emperor wielded?
It's said to have surpassed the Saint rank … "
"Could it be that the black skull belonged to the Monarch that invaded the Greatlaw Continent back then?"
"Looks like the Heavenly Emperor and the Monarch perished together …"
"… …"
Many people couldn't help whispering among themselves when they saw this scene. Some of their eyes flickered as they started to become restless.
Whether it was the legendary Heavenly Emperor Sword or the Peerless Three Pures, or even the Heavenly Emperor's remains, all of them possessed a temptation that could make one lose their rationality.
"I advise everyone not to act rashly. This place is strange, and no one knows what happened all those years ago. If someone were to trigger something, then I'm afraid no one will be able to escape!" However, right when some people were about to make a move, Mandala's icy cold voice suddenly sounded out.
Many top-tiered experts were briefly stunned before they hesitated. After all, this place was a little strange. The Heavenly Emperor's remains and the pitch-black head made them feel uneasy.
"Heh, Mandala, could it be that you want to monopolize the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance and Heavenly Emperor Sword?" While everyone was hesitating, a sneer resounded.
Everyone directed their gazes over and saw that it was Lu Heng who spoke.
Hearing her words, some powerhouses knitted their brows and looked at Mandala in doubt. After all, for that Peerless Divine Ability, not to mention a Perfected Earth Sovereign, even a Perfected Earth Sovereign wouldn't be able to obtain it.
After all, for that Peerless Divine Ability, not to mention a Perfected Earth Sovereign, even a genuine Heavenly Sovereign would be tempted.
"Great Havenlaw Ruler, although you've made your breakthrough, you're not the only Perfected Earth Sovereign in the Greatlaw Continent.
So don't be too overbearing. "
Someone finally spoke out from amongst the top-tiered experts. That person had a powerful background, with a Perfected Earth Sovereign old monster in his force.
Although he had yet to arrive at the Heavenly Emperor Cemetery, he had a special method to descend if there was an emergency. Thus, even if others were fearful of Mandala, he dared to voice his doubts.
Seeing that someone stood out, the other top-tiered experts also spoke out. Under the temptation, it was impossible for Mandala to intimidate everyone.
Mandala's face sank when she saw everyone's reaction. She still wanted to say something.
However, she was secretly stopped by Mu Chen. That's because, in this current situation, any obstruction would be futile. If she forcefully did it, it would only attract the wrath of everyone. At that time, even Mandala wouldn't be able to defeat so many top-tiered experts, not to mention that she had the backing of those top-tiered experts.
Not to mention that all of them had a background that wasn't any weaker than the Northern Region Alliance.
When Lu Heng saw that Mandala had fallen into silence, a smile rose on the corner of his lips.
Rustle!
The deadlock did not last for long, before it was broken by a sharp sonic boom.
Several Lesser Earth Sovereigns couldn't hold back any longer and flew out.
Their target was clear. It wasn't the Heavenly Emperor Sword, but the corpse of the Heavenly Emperor.
After all, the Heavenly Emperor Sword was stabbed into the head of the evil, and no one could be sure what would happen if the Heavenly Emperor Sword was pulled out.
Since that's the case, then they wouldn't touch the Heavenly Emperor Sword, but the corpse of the Heavenly Emperor. Who knows, the Three Pures Peerless Divine Ability might be on the Heavenly Emperor.
Although those Lesser Earth Sovereigns were swift, some of the more rational top-tiered experts did not obstruct them. Evidently, they wanted to let those people test the waters first.
Several streaks of light appeared beside the Celestial Emperor Remains as if they had teleported. Then, they grabbed the Celestial Emperor Remains and retreated.
The hand of the Heavenly Emperor Corpse was separated from the Heavenly Emperor Sword and was forcefully pulled back.
Looking at the Heavenly Emperor's body being pulled away, Mu Chen and the rest tensed their bodies with their guards up.
However, what surprised them was that everything was exceptionally calm and there were no abnormalities.
When everyone saw this scene, they inwardly sighed in relief before greed flashed in their eyes. Their gazes flickered and they were clearly prepared to fight for the treasures.
Rustle!
But in that instant, a silhouette suddenly appeared before the Lesser Earth Sovereigns that were holding onto the Heavenly Emperor's Remains and threw a fist forth. That fist was akin to an exploding star, emanating a terrifying power that could shatter space.
Countless spatial fragments gathered on his fist and slammed against the chest of a Lesser Earth Sovereign.
Boom!
A deep voice resounded and the body of that Lesser Earth Sovereign practically exploded into pieces of flesh and blood …
Boom!
Boom!
That silhouette was ruthless. After killing a Lesser Earth Sovereign with a single fist, he swiftly made another move and another two Lesser Earth Sovereigns were reduced into pieces of flesh and blood.
When the third Lesser Earth Sovereign was killed, everyone recovered from the shock and their faces drastically changed. When they looked at that silhouette, shock flashed in their eyes.
That's because the one that made a move was Lu Heng!
"Lu Heng, what are you doing?!" Many experts roared in anger. Was Lu Heng trying to offend everyone here with his actions?
However, Lu Heng merely grinned in the face of so many top-tier experts. However, his grin appeared exceptionally sinister at this moment. He tilted his head slightly and waved his sleeve. Immediately, the flesh and blood that filled the sky began to swirl back.
As the blood of the three Lesser Earth Sovereigns rolled, a shocking scene occurred. The Heavenly Emperor's remains had actually opened their mouths and devoured the blood of the three Lesser Earth Sovereigns.
This strange scene caused all the experts present to feel a chill down their spines.
Just … what's going on?!
The entire cemetery fell into a deathly silence.
