nImmortal Emperor Yu Cheng was a legendary existence of the Great Stellar Chiliocosm, the Dao-Proving Saint Immortal, the master of the Great Dao, the Immortal Emperor of the Myriad Court! This string of titles defined him as one of the strongest individuals of the Great Stellar Chiliocosm over the eons. As the vanquisher of the Primordial Fog and the founder of the Court of Myriad Domains, he was the object of admiration for countless juniors.

nWhen Tang Jie had witnessed the shattering of the court through the Martial Mirror, he had wondered why Yu Cheng hadn’t appeared.

nWhen he saw this massive tomb, Tang Jie understood that Yu Cheng had been dead by that time.

nThe mighty Immortal Emperor had died?

nAnd he had died without the slightest disturbance.

nHow had he died? How could he have died? Was even a Dao-Proving Saint Immortal yet to reach true longevity?

nTang Jie couldn’t understand.

nBut he also didn’t have the time to understand.

nIn the distance, the Flame Celestial Sovereign was still hot on his heels, his reserves of Immortal energy seemingly endless. Wearing that crown on his head, he shot toward Tang Jie like a fiery lightning bolt.

nThere was a massive set of double doors at the base of the tomb, standing ten thousand feet high and etched with numerous lifelike images.

nShockingly, the doors were open.

nThese two giant doors had not been shut but had been left slightly ajar. Behind them was an endless darkness, like the maw of some beast.

nSeeing this, Tang Jie rushed into the tomb without hesitation.

nThe Flame Celestial Sovereign also saw this. After some initial surprise from seeing the tomb of Immortal Emperor Yu Cheng, he laughed and said, “Good, good! Since it’s the tomb of the Immortal Emperor, it must hold immense treasure. This Immortal tomb is mine! Tang Jie, by daring to enter the tomb, you’re digging your own grave!”

nThe flame streaked toward the tomb.

nAs he flew into the tomb, he saw that there was another dimension with the tomb, the inside many times larger than what the outside indicated, and the layout was extremely complicated.

nAs the Flame Celestial Sovereign looked around, he spotted Tang Jie up ahead.

nHe grunted, “You’re not going anywhere!”

nHe shot forward.

nBut as he did, an arrow shot out from a nearby wall.

nThe arrow seemed rather ordinary, but the Flame Celestial Sovereign felt like it posed an enormous threat.

nHis sense for danger had already saved him countless times, so he immediately activated the crown. As the arrow slammed into the crown’s barrier, it exploded in dazzling colors.

nThis small arrow had been packed with power.

nBesides that, extremely toxic black smoke billowed out of the arrow. The Flame Celestial Sovereign, with his vast experience, could tell at a glance that this poison could melt even an Immortal’s body into liquid. He came to the realization that the tomb of the Immortal Emperor was peppered with traps and was no place to be reckless.

nThis was only right and proper for the tomb of the Immortal Emperor. The traps here had to be calibrated against intruders of the Immortal level, and the arrow just now was probably the weakest kind of trap.

nWith this understanding, the Flame Celestial Sovereign didn’t dare to be careless. He cautiously advanced while privately grumbling—if even he had to be so careful in this tomb, how could Tang Jie run around so freely? Moreover, he seemed to be causing quite the ruckus, the tomb occasionally shuddering with triggered traps.

nSuddenly, he recalled how Tang Jie could produce countless clones.

nThis damn Tang Jie! He must have used one of his clones to scout the path, and the Tang Jie he had seen earlier was no doubt one of them. This bastard had intentionally drawn him into a trap, the cunning scoundrel.

nBut he also knew cloning arts.

nThe Flame Celestial Sovereign threw out a ball of flame, which split off into numerous clones that advanced forward.

nThe Flame Celestial Sovereign followed behind his clones, but he didn’t get far before a lightning bolt suddenly shot toward him. This single lightning bolt contained so much power that it had gone from being light to solid, a spear aimed straight at him.

nThe Flame Celestial Sovereign didn’t dare to take this attack directly, once more relying on the crown to defend him. The impact produced wave after wave of spiritual energy that lit up half of the tomb. In the distance, Tang Jie’s laughter rang out in delight over the Flame Celestial Sovereign’s suffering.

nThe Flame Celestial Sovereign gnashed his teeth in fury, and when he looked at his three clones, he saw that they were going forward, the traps ignoring them. He knew that his clones weren’t high enough of a level to draw the traps. Saʀch* Th ovlꜰir.nt website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

nThis damn Tang Jie—even his cloning art was a Dao Art!

nHe knew that imitating Tang Jie to chase him down would be very difficult. He hated Tang Jie down to the bone, but he was also worried that Tang Jie would steal all the treasures, so he snarled, “You have your cloning art, but I have my impregnable Dao armament! Let’s see which of us is faster!”

nHe activated the crown, intending to rely on the crown to push through this passage of death.

nNot far from him, Tang Jie slowly got up from the ground, holding a sharp needle.

nThis needle had just pierced through one of his clones, unleashing a terrifying killing power. But when Tang Jie had drawn that needle into his hand, he found that it was just a needle made from Mother Cloud Essence Metal, with no other special attributes.

nOf course, Mother Cloud Essence Metal was extremely valuable, but this was the tomb of the Immortal Emperor, and such a metal was clearly insufficient for traps meant to kill Immortals. Tang Jie thought that such traps would be at least at the divine treasure level, but they were somehow worse than those of the Jewel Palace.

nTo display such power, it either had to be coated in poison or empowered by a formation.

nIt was the tomb’s formation, endowing all objects with a powerful piercing attribute.

nFor some reason, this piercing attribute felt very familiar to Tang Jie.

nIt was like… the Sovereign Blade.

nBut compared to the Sovereign Blade, these methods using formations and poison were clearly less developed, which left Tang Jie confused.

nHad the Martial Lord made this tomb for the Immortal Emperor?

nHe shook his head and laughed.

nThis was clearly impossible. The Martial Lord had shattered the court—a clear sign that he was opposed to the Immortal Emperor. Considering that the Immortal Emperor was probably connected to what had happened with the Pearl Lady, the Martial Lord probably considered him a mortal enemy, so rather than making him a tomb, sending him into the tomb was more likely.

nPerhaps it was the Martial Lord who had killed the Immortal Emperor. He was the only one who had this ability.

nFor some reason, Tang Jie had an indescribable confidence in the Martial Lord.

nHe instinctively believed that if there was one person who could kill the Immortal Emperor, it was the Martial Lord.

nAfter confirming that the needle was now safe, Tang Jie put it away and continued forward, occasionally splitting off clones to probe the way forward.

nTang Jie’s Dao Art clones were truly a cheat code for this maze. This maze had many dangerous traps that could kill even Immortals, but Tang Jie casually strolled through it without the slightest concern, without encountering a single mishap.

nEven he was surprised by how smoothly things were going.

nOf course, he wasn’t completely idle. He knew that Yun Tianlan’s group was following behind him, so he used Heart Consonance to contact him and transmit a path that they could traverse. So long as they took the road he had taken, they would encounter no danger.

nAt the same time, Tang Jie inspected the maze’s formation.

nAs a formation that could kill even Immortals, it naturally had its outstanding attributes, and Tang Jie wouldn’t be Tang Jie if he didn’t study it. Although the formation was hidden within the maze, such measures were nothing to his Celestial Eye.

nThrough the Celestial Eye, Tang Jie quickly found the formation lines, and what was a maze within a tomb quickly became a giant formation.

nTang Jie picked a spot and began to study it, and was quickly engrossed, almost losing track of time. Fortunately, the explosions created by the Flame Celestial Sovereign barging his way through reminded him that he was still being chased, and he parted from the formation as reluctantly as from a lover before continuing his advance.

nStill, he had gotten something useful from his research. He had found that the maze’s formation was quite suitable for his Infinite Palace.

nThe Infinite Palace presented an impregnable defense on the outside while the inside was brimming with danger. Alas, he had never dared to do this, because if his internal measures failed to kill his opponent, he would be directly exposed to them.

nThus, for a long time now, the Infinite Palace’s offensive abilities against people within it had seemed rather useless.

nBut after studying the maze formation, Tang Jie felt like he could use it to make up for the shortcomings of the Stellar Net Astral Demon Formation, and if he did it well, he could improve his Dao Art and bring it closer to perfection.

nAs he thought and walked, he emerged from the maze into an open area.

nIn front of him was a forest, and in the distance was a surging river. There was even a crimson sun hanging in the sky, and a majestic mountain looming on the horizon.

nHe had guessed that some sort of dimension warping had been applied to the Immortal Emperor’s tomb, making the space inside larger than it seemed, but when he saw the truth, he was still left stunned. This was no tomb, but its own independent world.

nAn independent world?

nTang Jie shuddered.

n“Could this be…”

nHe looked around and shouted, “The Immortal Emperor’s small world!”
