Chapter 2990
Chapter 2990 – Defeated all Ancient Northern Cold Emperors three years after reaching the Emperor Realm
This great emperor must’ve been a terrifying entity. This place not just gathered dragon qi from the dragon veins, it also gathered the life energy of the northern territory. No wonder there aren’t any other beasts except for the snow beasts.
No entrance could be found as it was covered by the snowstorm. Jiang Chen was only able to discover it because something was amiss when he looked at the topography. Jiang Chen did not know why it was placed in this way, the gathering of dragons was a place of great danger intertwined together. He could not determine what kind of place this tomb was.
Jiang Chen raised his arm and summoned a pillar of flame, clearing a ten li radius of snow. They then saw a giant cave with water flowing into the place after the snow melted.
“Over there!” Jiang Chen pointed to the dark cave in front of them.
That pitch-black cave was like a black-hole that would swallow anything that approached it, you would never know what lies beyond it.
Yang Xikuan and Chi Haifei’s sense heightened, including the others, as that dark cave was out of the ordinary.
“I’ll take the lead.” Yang Xikuang said.
He would be looked down upon if an instructor like him were to back off. Plus, he did not agree with Jiang Chen’s opinion that this place is dangerous.
Yang Xikuan held a glowing pearl and led the team. The cave was vast, more than twenty meters tall, and clean due to the water coursing through the place.
The team entered the cave, and although they had travelled for several kilometers, they found nothing out of the ordinary. However, the cold was getting too hard to handle, Li Chuang was reaching his limit.
“My blood feels like it's going to freeze! This must be below several thousand degrees, one that could freeze everything. I, a great Half-Step Hierarch expert… will I freeze to death in this place?” Li Chuang said with a pale expression.
“Brother Jiang, are you alright?” Li Chuang was curious.
“Brother Jiang has the divine flame to protect himself, otherwise, how was he able to kill the horde of snow beasts and you can't?” Sheng Kun said.
Li Chuang flushed as he realised he asked a stupid question. Jiang Chen’s definitely not afraid of this cold as he’s even unfazed in the face of hundreds of snow beasts. His power could not be gauged by normal means. A Peak Divine King that could even overpower Hierarch, that was true strength.
“I’m feeling extremely cold too, brother, I don’t think I can hold on any longer… To think it could get this cold, one’s spirit would even freeze.” Sheng Bing was shivering due to the cold and his face was pale.
At this moment, they finally reached what seemed to be the end of the path, there were ancient words inscribed upon the door.
“What’s written over there?” Sheng Kun asked.
“I do not recognise them.”
Yang Xikuan and Chi Haifei looked at each other and gave a bitter laugh.
“Probably it's something along the lines like ‘this is the final resting place of a Great Emperor, those who trespass shall die.’” Li Chuang said while shivering.
“Defeated all Ancient Northern Cold Emperors three years after reaching the Emperor Realm. Came to this place from the sky and sealed himself within as he suffered tremendous pain. The Heavens were not there for Dao and I shall not be there for Dao.” Jiang Chen said quietly. (TN: the last sentence is vague without context)
He did not expect to recognise those words, it was the ancient language of the Nine Region Immortal World. No wonder none of them recognises it, could it be that he’s an ancient emperor from the Nine Region Immortal World?
Jiang Chen was filled with questions. These words were none other than the words from the Nine Region Immortal World.
Most importantly, the guys were pretty excited as this emperor must’ve been extremely powerful as he defeated all Northern Cold Emperors in just 3 years. That was an incredible feat, how powerful and how great was this emperor?
The last sentence ‘The Heaven is not there for Dao and I shall not be there for Dao’, it was extremely vague. What kind of existence was this Ancient Emperor?
The Second and Third Palace Lords surely did not expect that this great emperor tomb lies such an extremely powerful emperor.
“Instructors, do you know which powerful ancient emperor this would be?” Jiang Chen said with a solemn expression.
Yang Xikuan shook his head and replied:
“Great emperors were numerous trillions of years ago. From what I heard… The Divine World almost collapsed due to that great ancient war and all the God Emperors vanished, the spiritual qi in the air became thin. It’s extremely difficult to reach the God Emperor Realm now compared to that time. Ancient secrets that would not be known to us. This is probably an ancient emperor of that age.”
“An ancient Emperor that existed trillions of years ago… .” Jiang Chen said.
“Far too long, at least for guys like us, we’ll not be able to imagine how it was. I’ve heard that our world was filled with God Emperors and everyone was fighting for resources and command of the world. Countless factions and powers fought against each other. However, everything vanished after that great battle. Almost none of those powers survived that ordeal. The Divine World changed after that, the Profound Connection Divine Palace is not powerful enough, perhaps only those super-power sects from the Central Region Divine Land have God Emperors amidst them.” Yang Xikuan said with a slightly nervous tone.
It’s almost impossible for the current Divine World to give birth to such an expert. It hasn’t been heard of for the past millions of years.
“It’s been far too long. We would not have known, it was not easy to even have a few sentences of record from that time. It’s a great gift for us if we’re able to witness the legacy of an ancient emperor.”
Yang Xikuan’s eyes were shining brightly. Everyone was greatly interested and curious about this ancient emperor. After all, if they could even get a tiny hint from this great emperor’s legacy, they would certainly benefit greatly. They could even leave their names upon this Divine World if they managed to get the secrets of the said emperor.
Only a God Emperor could stand at the peak of the Divine World!
They must quickly enter.
“We’ll never know the answer without entering.” Jiang Chen murmured.
“Let’s go, I’m dying to know how great this legendary Great Desolate Emperor who defeated all Ancient Northern Cold Emperors is.” Chi Haifei said excitedly.
He was curious about this ancient emperor, perhaps he might even gain a massive boost in his cultivation if he’s lucky enough. They were all at a bottleneck, it would take great luck to advance towards the other stage, otherwise, even billions of years of hard work could not make them advance.
“Yeah, let’s quickly enter, it’s probably not as cold inside, I’m going to freeze to death here.” Sheng Bing said with a pale expression.
Because the temperature was too low, not even a Half-Step Hierarch could withstand it without using their divine origin qi to protect their bodies.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened!
