The Heart of the Emperor

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the exit of the passageway Zhuowen was in, the sound of something breaking through the air resounded. A considerable number of cultivators appeared. These cultivators should have chosen the same passageway as Zhuowen.

After these warriors came out, they first glanced at Zhuowen, who was standing at the exit of the passage. Then, all of their attention was focused on the huge land in front of them, as well as the dilapidated buildings standing on the land. Even the huge gully in the middle of the land.

"Is this the interior of the Emperor's Tomb?" The surrounding warriors muttered softly, their eyes filled with shock.

"Go!

Let's go deeper and take a look. There must be a Heart of Imperial Power inside. We might even be able to obtain the inheritance of a Martial Emperor. "

Someone in the crowd said. Then, he shot towards the ground like an arrow leaving the bow. The people behind him also reacted. This was the Emperor's Tomb. The things inside were extremely precious to Emperor Realm experts. If they didn't hurry up, the things inside would be snatched away.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Immediately, countless sonic booms rang out. The cultivators at the exit of the passageway all rushed out in a hurry, all for the sake of gaining the initiative in this Emperor's Tomb.

Zhuowen stood quietly on the spot with his brows slightly furrowed. The passage that he had entered was the passage that Moyan Wushang and the others were in. What made him puzzled was that he had lost contact with Moyan Wushang and the others when he entered the exit. He didn't even see them at the exit.

"Maybe they have already gone ahead to explore this vast land," Xiao Hei's voice slowly rang out in his mind, causing Zhuowen to nod in agreement.

"Big Brother Han Tian and the others have also entered this land, but they seem to be a little far away from us."

Suddenly, Zhuo Wen sensed the aura of his devil doppelgänger. He knew that the devil doppelgänger that followed Tai Mo Lord and Lu Hantian had also come in. However, the aura he sensed was extremely weak. It should be because they were too far away.

"Since this place is called the Emperor's Tomb, there must be a lot of good things. However, I'm afraid that it's also very dangerous.

Be careful, "Xiao Hei's voice rang out again. Zhuowen slightly nodded, looking cautious.

"Let's go!"

Taking a step forward, Zhuo Wen was like a bolt of black lightning, silently following behind the countless figures in front of him. Although he was quite worried about Canaan and the others, with Moyan Wushang and Soft Note by their side, they should not be in too much danger.

Even though Moyan and Qing Yin were still at the top of the Celestial Zun Layer, they were still in the top five of the Celestial Zun Layer. Their fighting strength was terrifying, comparable to the strength of the first layer of the Great Emperor Layer. In addition, Moyan was the granddaughter of Bai Yan, Mo Yan, the dean of the Great Emperor Layer. She would definitely have some powerful life-saving methods. Ordinary cultivators of the second layer of the Great Emperor Layer wouldn't be able to defeat her easily.

Everywhere he passed, Zhuo Wen saw numerous dilapidated buildings. It seemed like a peerless battle had occurred here all those years ago. After all, Zhuo Wen was able to discern from these dilapidated buildings that this place used to be an extremely bustling city, and it was the place where the strongest experts of the Imperial Region had settled down.

"Back then, why did this place become the grave of the Great Emperors of the Great Imperial Region?"

Zhuo Wen grew increasingly curious about the truth of what had happened in this land back then as he looked at the ruined scene below. However, he also knew that it was useless no matter how curious he was. Even Grandmaster Mu Feng did not know what had happened back then, let alone him.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhuo Wen noticed that the numerous cultivators who were flying in front of him had slowed down and were descending towards an open space in front of him. Without even thinking about it, Zhuo Wen naturally followed the crowd and landed on the open space.

One could see that there was also a cluster of buildings standing in this empty space. The difference was that this cluster of buildings was much more complete than the others and was not as dilapidated. The most eye-catching thing was that there was actually a temple-like building in the middle of this cluster of buildings. Under the pure white dome, there were dozens of white pillars that were as thick as a couple of people hugging together.

At this moment, many cultivators were gathered outside the temple. Zhuowen also landed and blended into the crowd. There was no door around the temple and the interior was completely exposed. Through the thick pillars, there was a rather clean hall. There was a red carpet in the center of the hall and the red carpet extended from the depths of the hall to the entrance of the temple.

On both sides of the red carpet, there were actually figures sitting cross-legged. At a closer look, these figures were pitch-black and withered like corpses. The movements of these figures were extremely uniform. All of them raised their heads and looked towards the depths of the red carpet. It was as if there was something important in the depths of the red carpet that they needed to look up to before they died.

In the depths of the red carpet, there was a white jade altar. At the top of the altar, a heart was constantly beating. Moreover, as the heart beat, waves of Star Force spread out. The Star Force was extremely vast and dense.

At the same time, below the altar, there was an especially large corpse sitting cross-legged. This corpse was much more robust than the corpses on both sides of the red carpet. It was several times their size. If it stood up, it would probably be several meters tall, almost like a small giant.

"This is … the Heart of Imperial Power?"

Feeling the powerful Star Force spreading from the white jade altar, Zhuowen's pupils shrank. He could not help but think to himself. Before entering the Emperor's Tomb, he had heard that there were many Hearts of Imperial Power in the Emperor's Tomb. This kind of thing was very beneficial for Celestial Venerables to advance to the Emperor Realm. If a peak Celestial Venerables had this kind of Heart of Imperial Power, they could directly break through to the Emperor Realm.

Not only Zhuowen, but many cultivators around recognized the true identity of this heart. It was the Heart of Imperial Power that they had always wanted to obtain. This kind of thing was a fatal temptation for cultivators below the Emperor Realm.

At this moment, the atmosphere outside the temple had become eerily silent. There was also the sound of rapid breathing. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Heart of Imperial Power, their eyes full of greed.

Zhuowen even saw many Emperor Realm cultivators among this group of cultivators. These Emperor Realm cultivators were also greedily staring at the Heart of Imperial Power.

Logically speaking, the Heart of Imperial Power was not very useful for Emperor Realm cultivators. However, these Emperor Realm cultivators usually obtained the Heart of Imperial Power to give it to their juniors to help them break through to the Emperor Realm. After all, a Heart of Imperial Power meant that there was a possibility of the birth of an Emperor Realm cultivator.

After a brief moment of silence, the sound of something breaking through the air broke the silence in the surroundings. Immediately, many warriors outside the temple rushed into the temple with scarlet eyes as if they had gone mad.

Zhuowen stood outside the temple and stared at the cultivators who were rushing into the temple. He frowned slightly. The corpses in the temple were too strange. He did not dare to act rashly. Moreover, he was extremely confident in his own strength. Even if someone had obtained the Heart of Imperial Power, he could snatch it from that person. There was no need for him to take the risk of entering the temple.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Swoosh! More and more people rushed into the temple. The moment they stepped into the temple, the empty eyes of the corpses on both sides of the red carpet lit up with green flames. It was like a ghost fire in the middle of the night. It looked extremely strange.

"Kill!"

A deep voice reverberated in the temple. The corpses on both sides of the red carpet suddenly moved. Then, their withered arms clenched into fists and violently punched the invading cultivators.

Boom! Boom!

Miserable shrieks rang out. The dozen or so warriors who were charging at the front were completely caught off guard and were viciously hit by the mummy's fists. Then, without even a groan, they exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Hiss!

Gasps rang out one after another. Those cultivators at the back all stopped in their tracks and slowly took a few steps back. They stared at the mummies in the temple that had suddenly come to life with terrified gazes.

There were more than a dozen corpses in the temple. When they stood up, crackling sounds were heard. It was crisp and ear-piercing.

Blood-red flames erupted from the hollow eyes of the gigantic corpse that was seated at the center of the altar. When it stood up, it was actually fifty feet tall. Its exposed upper body was extremely shriveled, and one could even see the rows of protruding ribs on its body.

The other warriors in the temple retreated one after another. The dozen or so warriors who had been killed in seconds were all above the Late-stage Heavenly Venerate Realm. There were even Peak Heavenly Venerates among them. Yet, they were unable to resist the attacks of the mummies. Everyone knew that these seemingly unremarkable mummies were at least Peak Heavenly Venerates. As for the giant mummy standing in front of the altar, its power was even more terrifying. Its strength was probably above the Emperor Realm.

Seeing this lineup, many cultivators decided to retreat. This temple was not so easy to barge into, and the Heart of Imperial Power was not so easy to obtain. The might displayed by these mummies was enough to make them suffer a lot.

Awoo!

The giant mummified corpse roared. Suddenly, the green flames in the eyes of more than a dozen mummified corpses in the temple burned even more vigorously. They took a step forward and turned into more than a dozen black lightning bolts, shooting toward the many cultivators in the temple. It was a one-sided massacre.

"Let's go!"

Many cultivators who were not strong enough saw the cultivators around them fall. They were horrified and immediately retreated from the temple. The corpses that were chasing after them seemed to have some kind of restriction. They could not step out of the temple at all. When they reached the edge of the temple, they stopped.

As for the peak Empyrean martial artists, they all stayed in the temple and fought with the dried corpses. The Heart of Imperial Power was just too attractive to them. It was impossible for them to give up.

"The three of us will work together to defeat the giant corpse. As for the ownership of the Heart of Imperial Power, we will fight for it later."
