Chapter 1982: Change of the Divine Mausoleum Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the Chaos Region, in the isolated place within the Suspended Sea.
At this moment, this world seemed to have undergone a great transformation. The eyes of everyone turned to the direction of the Divine Mausoleum.
Over there, a mirage seemed to appear. Numerous divine tombs reflected their projections up into the sky as a terrifying aura engulfed everything. Dark clouds covered the sky as a tempest brewed. The heavens and earth were howling with anger, like a scene from an apocalypse.
What’s even more terrifying is that within the tempest, one could faintly still see an incomparably gigantic figure. He stood in the center of the storm with many terrifying-looking heads around him that were madly devouring everything. It looked like the heads wanted to devour the tempest, wanting to absorb the power of the Divine Mausoleum.
At the boundary, another figure quietly stood there, allowing the tempest to rage on as he calmly watched everything that was happening. This person was none other than the tomb keeper.
The tomb keepers guarded the Divine Mausoleum, they were the people who understood the Divine Mausoleum the most. For the tomb keepers of this generation, they had once received a prophecy saying that great change would come to the Divine Mausoleum. And now, the prophecy seemed to have come true.
It was rumored that the Divine Mausoleum had buried a batch of extremely terrifying existences in ancient times, including godking existences. They all fell in a world-shaking battle and their burial grounds transformed into this Divine Mausoleum. They scattered their dao within the Divine Mausoleum and according to ancient legends, those supreme existences have not truly died yet. They were able to depend on their scattered dao to find a chance for revival, reappearing again in this world. Naturally, no one knew whether this was true or false. But the tomb keepers of the previous generations seemed to have understood some things, which was why they left behind a prophecy.
However, right now the change to the Divine Mausoleum seemed to be caused by that outsider. Yue Changkong cultivated terrifying evil arts and was now currently devouring the boundless energy within the Divine Mausoleum.
The tomb keepers didn’t interfere, they were bound by rules. The Divine Mausoleum would grant the tomb keepers some power but at the same time, the tomb keepers were also restricted. But there was one rule that everyone knew about. Before the tomb keeper of this generation found his replacement, he wasn’t permitted to leave this forbidden ground.
Hence, even now, the tomb keepers could only watch all these proceedings. They didn’t stop the evil cultivator from absorbing the energy within the Divine Mausoleum.
Other than the tomb keepers and that evil cultivator, there was another figure in the Divine Mausoleum. This figure was none other than Qin Dangtian, he stood in the midst of the tempest, his gaze was cold when he lifted his head and saw Yue Changkong who was frenziedly absorbing everything. The terrifying energy in the Divine Mausoleum would all end up belonging to Yue Changkong?
Qin Dangtian felt unwillingness in his heart. During these years in the Divine Mausoleum, he had great improvements and his cultivation had transformed. This evil cultivator Yue Changkong came much later, what qualifications does he have to seize all the energy in the Divine Mausoleum?
When he thought of this, Qin Dangtian stepped out, actually moving towards Yue Changkong. His astral soul shone brilliantly behind his back, the Absolute Beginnings Astral Soul released a blinding radiance as it transformed into his dao. Terrifying waves of dao might directly blasted towards Yue Changkong.
“Mhm?” Yue Changkong’s eyes gleamed with coldness as he glanced at Qin Dangtian. His gaze was filled with mockery and disdain. Qin Dangtian wanted to stop him?
No one would be able to stop him. He has already awakened. Naturally, he was still Yue Changkong but he has merged the memories of his two lives together. Once the energy in this Divine Mausoleum was completely devoured by him, he would be able to swiftly return to his peak state and save many years of cultivation time. Back then, his past self was buried here. It had really saved him a lot of trouble.
Yue Changkong stretched his palm out. A palm formed from black fog blotted out the sky and sun, appearing like a bottomless black hole of darkness. Numerous evil heads appeared within the darkness, devouring their way towards Qin Dangtian, wanting to consume him.
The dao of Absolute Beginnings madly transformed, a pure-white terrifying divine glow flashed, it was like a white-colored sharp sword, capable of slashing through all energy in the world. When this sword slashed into those evil heads, the devil-like heads directly transformed into black death qi before dissipating into the wind.
“Qin Dangtian, you dare to stop me?” Yue Changkong had an evil smile on his face. “Are you courting death? Do you believe that I will annihilate your Qin Clan and devour them all, using them as my nutrients?”
“Despicable evil cultivator, how can you achieve the great dao?” Qin Dangtian mocked. The evolution ability of his Absolute Beginnings Astral Soul was much more terrifying than before. Everywhere the blazing white-colored divine light passed by, the dark fog there would fade into nothingness.
“You have grossly overestimated yourself. No wonder you were defeated so badly at Qin Wentian’s hands.” Yue Changkong coldly laughed. More and more skeletons appeared, producing terrifying creaking sounds that actually influenced Qin Dangtian’s will. This caused Qin Wentian’s figure to appear in his mind. It was like the person in front of him now wasn’t Yue Changkong, but was Qin Wentian instead.
Qin Wentian was his heart devil. This negative emotion was ignited by Yue Changkong. Qin Dangtian had to face it head-on, there was no other way.
Yue Changkong had a dao art that enabled him to control all the negative energy and emotions in the world, influencing the hearts of people.
Qin Dangtian’s eyes gleamed with a red light, his aura violently surged forth as countless thoughts of Qin Wentian filled his mind. That battle of humiliation back then and Nichang’s betrayal. That year, Qin Wentian arrived in the Qin Clan. He, who was the chosen of the heavens, fell in an instant, becoming the butt of jokes in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. All this was caused by Qin Wentian’s existence.
His heart devil transformed into numerous evil heads, all of them were Qin Wentians. They rushed towards him, causing Qin Dangtian to feel despair and pain. Qin Wentian was like an opponent of destiny which he was fated never to defeat.
“I didn’t expect even after cultivating in the Divine Mausoleum for so many years, I still have no way to sever this heart devil.” A voice rang out in Qin Dangtian’s mind. He closed his eyes as the beautiful face of Goddess Nichang was gradually wiped away from his mind. He thought of another exceptionally beautiful woman. She was like a goddess of the nine heavens, high-up and untouchable. She was cold and aloof and had a shocking cultivation. This young woman he thought of was none other than Qin Kexin.
There were many outstanding females in the world, why must he be trapped inside his emotions for Nichang? Also, as for Qin Wentian, wasn’t his goal to defeat him? Now, how could he allow himself to be controlled by his heart devil?
“Yue Changkong, this isn’t my heart devil. This is your heart devil.” Qin Dangtian coldly spoke. The Absolute Beginnings Astral Soul began to transform frenziedly, producing numerous devils. These devils took the form of Qin Wentian and rushed towards Yue Changkong.
“From what I know, ever since you met Qin Wentian, you became nothing but a joke to everyone in the world. You were defeated by him numerous times and have never gained even a single victory before. You want to kill him?” Qin Dangtian’s voice contained a bewitching tone. Yue Changkong’s eyes flashed as he suddenly smiled. “You actually want to use my dao against me? If it was in the past, I might have been affected. But the me now is no longer the past Yue Changkong.”
From afar, the tomb keeper quietly stood there, listening to their words, watching their battle. The terrifying tempest in the Divine Mausoleum continued to intensify and swept towards them. Shocking rumbling sounds rang out, no one knew what the ending of this battle in the Divine Mausoleum would be.
However, the tomb keeper didn’t care about the ending. He was more interested in their conversation as well as the person they were talking about.
Now, he only hoped that everything could end as soon as possible. By doing so, he would be able to accomplish his mission as the tomb keeper so he could leave here.
In truth, the current Divine Mausoleum could no longer restrict him and force him to remain here. However, he was willing to abide with the regulations. After all, he had received many things from the Divine Mausoleum before. A man should be true to his words.
“What an evil method.” He calmly watched the battle. He silently sighed when he noticed the techniques Yue Changkong was using. However, Qin Dangtian was also extraordinary, he depended on his powerful will and persisted in the battle.
At this moment, the tempest in the Divine Mausoleum was like an azure dragon seeking to devour everything. A pair of eyes appeared in the sky, staring at the two parties who were fighting each other.
Yue Changkong inclined his head and stared at the eyes, “Old friend, I’m here to visit you. Join me and we will rule the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms together. From then on, we will be unrivalled in the world.”
The pair of eyes gleamed with a demonic light. After that, the terrifying tempest exploded with pressure, the azure dragon descended, flying towards the location where Yue Changkong and Qin Dangtian were fighting at. Yue Changkong’s figure flashed as he rushed towards the tempest. It felt like the entire sky could be blocked by him. An incomparably terrifying head of evil began to devour the sky.
“BOOM!” A supreme destructive energy erupted forth. The azure dragon actually began to fight with Yue Changkong. Fearsome shockwaves radiated outwards. Qin Dangtian’s gaze was cold, he soared into the sky and rushed into their battle as he attacked Yue Changkong. He also wanted this power.
It was unknown when, when a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared beside the tomb keeper. She quietly stood there and watched the world-shocking battle. After a long time, Yue Changkong’s howl of rage rang out.
“It’s about to end.” The beautiful middle-aged woman spoke. The tomb keeper nodded his head. During the process of the battle, Yue Changkong was frenziedly absorbing the energy in the Divine Mausoleum. However, the energy in the Divine Mausoleum seemed that it would rather choose Qin Dangtian. Hence, Yue Changkong could only absorb a part of the energy.
The destructive tempest gradually weakened, like everything was about to be concluded. The tomb keeper held his wife’s hand, their figures flashed as they moved towards the small town. They stood in the air and spoke, “This forbidden ground shall now be opened. For those who are willing to go out, you all can leave with me.”
Numerous figures flashed, flying towards them. Some among them were the elderly. They quietly stood behind the couple and their cloudy eyes now shone with sharpness. Finally, they could leave this place and head to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms?
In the Divine Mausoleum, large cracks appeared in the ground as though an earthquake of great magnitude had occurred. From afar, huge tsunami waves crashed over, wanting to destroy everything. Many people glanced in that direction. It’s rumored that the Divine Mausoleum was the supporting pillar that protected this world. Now that the Divine Mausoleum was going to disappear, would this world disappear with it as well?
What was the outside world like? Many people were silently pondering, filled with yearning. They stared at the tomb keeper. All of them flew forward and stood behind him and his wife, they were willing to follow him to see the external world out there!
“Let’s go.” The tomb keeper stepped out, flying forward. He didn’t turn his head back. It was like everything that was now happening in the Divine Mausoleum no longer has anything to do with him.
