The reason why Yan Fengming stayed and fought with the monster was simple. He suspected that the underground tomb was the burial ground of the Wretched of Yin.
Many powerful warriors had been searching for the tomb for more than 100,000 years without success. Lu Li would not let this chance slip by.
When the Sinkhole of Yin Fiend appeared, Yan Fengming was still a youth, an ordinary disciple in the Black Flame Hall. He had heard some rumors about the Sinkhole of Yin Fiend, and after becoming a clan elder, he had learned many secrets.
The legend was true. The Wretched of Yin was indeed a powerful warrior from the Third Heaven. He was badly injured at the Third Heaven so he went into hiding at the Second Heaven.
He had devoured the life force of everyone on Shady Fiend Island. All the flowers and trees on the island had withered because he had absorbed their life force.
He tried to use the vitality of so many people and trees to cure his wounds. Unfortunately, he died in the end.
His tomb had always been a mystery. Back then, many powerful warriors of the Second Heaven came here to search but found no clues. Even the most powerful warrior of the Second Heaven came here and failed to find his tomb.
Many people suspected that the Wretched of Yin had destroyed his body and all his treasures. Otherwise, there was no way that so many powerful warriors could not find his tomb.
Who would have thought that Yan Fengming would actually discover an underground palace?
If it were not for this powerful monster, Yan Fengming would not have paid attention to it and would have thought it was just an average palace.
Yan Fengming was both surprised and delighted to see such a powerful monster that was almost as powerful as the Wretched of Yin.
The underground palace might be the tomb of the Wretched of Yin. Maybe the palace was hidden in a small world and as time went by, the palace flew out from the small world.
Or maybe there was a powerful rune here that hid the palace. Now that the rune was loosened, the palace was revealed.
Whatever the case, Yan Fengming decided to kill the monster and go in to explore.
If he could get the treasures of the Wretched of Yin, it would be more meaningful than killing 10 Lu Li. He could leave a Relic or skill for the Hall of Black Flame, which would make the Hall of Black Flame one of the most powerful forces in the Second Heaven.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The battle between Yan Fengming and the monster was horrifying. Lu Li was thousands of miles away but he could still hear the noise.
The earth and the sky were trembling. Every now and then, a huge Milky Way would fall down, causing the earth to tremble.
It had been the time for half an incense stick to burn and Blood Fairy had not come back.
Lu Li wasn't in a hurry either. The battle was still going on and it wouldn't end anytime soon.
It was obvious that Yan Fengming wanted to kill the maggot monster and go treasure hunting. She couldn't care less about him right now.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Heaven and earth were falling apart. Lu Li sensed a horrifying feeling. Once again, Yan Fengming was at the peak of the world.
Yan Fengming's battle prowess was shocking, and the fact that the maggot-like monster could fight with him for so long meant that it was also abnormally strong.
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Blood Fairy said to Lu Li, "Master, I got it. But … there is still a lot of Divine Liquid. Can I take some more?"
Blood Fairy was not a sloppy person and she rarely asked for anything from Lu Li. It seemed that the Divine Liquid was really important to her.
Lu Li looked into the distance. Another Milky Way was smashing down and the ground was shaking. He thought about it and asked, "Can you sense the situation on the battlefield?
How much longer can Yan Fengming fight that maggot? "
"It'll probably take some time!"
Blood Fairy transmitted her voice to him. "That maggot monster has a strange ability. Not only did it not die after being cut into pieces, it even created a clone.
Right now, there are eight maggots surrounding and attacking Yan Fengming. En … that person called Yan Fengming is very powerful. The maggots shouldn't be able to kill him. "
"Oh?"
Lu Li was taken aback. He didn't know that maggots could be so powerful. Wouldn't the more he killed, the more maggots there would be?
Yan Fengming would definitely not be able to escape in a short period of time.
He thought for a moment before replying, "Then go and absorb the divine liquid. Don't be too greedy. Just enough is enough."
"Okay, I got it."
Blood Fairy replied. After a while, she transmitted her voice again, "By the way, Master, this Divine Liquid is probably beneficial to your physical body. Do you want to absorb some?
In addition … there seems to be a piece of broken black metal beside the ancient coffin. I feel that it is very powerful. There are at least tens of thousands of divine patterns on it. It also feels like it was formed naturally. It is a cardinal treasure! "
"What tens of thousands of divine inscriptions?
And it's broken? "
Lu Li was taken aback. If the tomb had such a strong guardian beast, the person in the coffin must be powerful. This piece of treasure must be valuable.
Blood Fairy was a spiritual being. She could not put away treasures unless she took control of that piece of artifact.
Blood Fairy had tried for a long time but failed to take control of the artifact she took from Zhang Tianhao. She could not take control of this piece of divine metal even if she had several months.
Either Yan Fengming or the maggots would win, one of them would enter the tomb. By then, Blood Fairy would be killed. Therefore, if Lu Li wanted the piece of divine metal, he must go.
Should he go or not?
Lu Li was struggling. On the one hand, he was tempted by the treasure. On the other hand, he was faced with great danger.
He might encounter many unexpected dangers in the tomb. At the very least, if Yan Fengming or that maggot found him, he would die for sure if either of them blocked his way.
"Blood Fairy, what else is there in the tomb apart from the coffin?
Are there any powerful sure-kill divine inscriptions? "
Lu Li asked after the time for 10 breaths. Blood Fairy answered, "Yes, but I can help you. Just follow the route I gave you. It should be fine."
"Okay!"
Lu Li made up his mind. He decided to take a gamble.
He noticed that Yan Fengming and the maggots were fighting in midair. If he could go underground while keeping a low profile, he might have a chance.
Once he made up his mind, he would do things swiftly and decisively. He dashed underground at once and went down for hundreds of miles. Then, he sneaked toward the underground palace.
He did not use any divine energy because that would be easily sensed. He simply crushed the dirt and stones with his physical strength.
Even though it made some noise, the ground was shaking. His movement would not attract the attention of Yan Fengming and the maggots.
Lu Li used the trace of Dao to sense the surroundings to determine the location and situation of the fight between the maggots and Yan Fengming.
"Hurry!"
He was sure that the fight was intense. Yan Fengming and the maggots would not pay attention to him.
He sped up and approached the tomb. After the time for one incense stick to burn, he arrived.
"Master, come in here!"
There was a door in the tomb, the one that the maggots came out from. Blood Fairy reached out her tentacle and said to Lu Li's mind.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li dashed in and landed in a huge palace.
He looked around and soon, he noticed a huge bronze coffin.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
Lu Li gasped after a while. The coffin had isolated him from the outside world. Even so, Lu Li could still feel the horrifying energy coming from the coffin. It was as if a dragon from heaven was buried in the coffin.
"Relic!"
Lu Li looked around and saw a piece of broken Relic on a jade pedestal next to the coffin.
That piece of Relic was clearly a piece of treasure. Lu Li took a few looks and could not move his eyes away.
"Is this a piece of the Sacred Emperor's weapon?"
An idea came to Lu Li's mind. Although he had never seen a fragment of the Divine Weapon of the Saint Emperor, he was able to come to this conclusion based on his intuition.
