After killing Lu Heng, the murderous aura around Mandala quickly dissipated, and she seemed to be utterly relieved.
She turned and gave Wei Yang a graceful bow, saying with deep gratitude, "Thank you for granting my wish, Lord Sun Emperor!"
Wei Yang merely chuckled indifferently.
Then, his gaze turned toward the depths of the mausoleum as he smiled. "Mandala, the real master is about to appear."
"Huh?" Mandala froze.
The others were the same.
The real master?
Deep within the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum.
Inside a cracked tomb.
After the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor awakened, the place had exploded open, revealing a tall skeleton.
The skeleton was entirely dark in color, its surface covered in strange demonic patterns, exuding an incomparably sinister and evil aura.
A Heavenly Emperor Sword was embedded in the chest of the jet-black skeleton.
At that moment, a faint spiritual radiance suddenly flickered over the blade, followed by wisps of white mist drifting upward.
After the white mist gathered in the sky, a figure in white condensed and appeared once more. His face was exactly the same as the Heavenly Emperor appearance the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor had previously impersonated!
However, his eyes no longer held indifference. Instead, they were filled with majesty and benevolence, inspiring reverence in anyone who looked upon him.
Upon seeing this.
"Th-this, another Heavenly Emperor?!"
Someone cried out in shock.
Everyone instinctively retreated several steps in unison.
Once bitten by a snake, they feared ropes for ten years.
Only a handful of people remained unmoved.
Mandala in particular. Upon seeing the white-clad figure who had appeared this time, she first froze, then her body trembled slightly as she stepped through the air toward him.
Her eyes were filled with excitement and disbelief.
"Heavenly Emperor, it really is the Heavenly Emperor!"
