The Demon Emperor's Tomb

What earth-shaking secret was buried within the great tomb that Lingxu Cave Heaven valued so highly?

"Ye Fan entered the great tomb, and several elders of Lingxu Cave Heaven began deciphering the inscriptions within."

"After a round of deductions and research, they actually reached a shocking conclusion: the one buried in this tomb was a mighty member of the Demon Race!"

"This great tomb was the Demon Emperor's tomb!"

Crack!

The Heavenly Vault suddenly changed, thunder roaring in fury, as if the words "Demon Emperor" had touched some supreme rule and triggered an anomaly in heaven and earth!

What exactly did the Demon Emperor represent?

He had been the supreme leader of the Demon Race during the ancient Witch-Demon Era of the Primordial World. He had commanded the Demon Race Heavenly Court, ruled over all demons, and shaken heaven and earth with his might!

Yet now, the Demon Race had long since fallen from power and no longer enjoyed its former glory. The Heavenly Dao no longer favored it, either. That title had long since become taboo, forbidden from appearing in the world again!

"What did Mister Su just say?"

"My heavens, weren't those two words banned long ago? How dare Mister Su mention them in public?"

"This is bad! With thunder rolling like that, the Heavenly Dao is probably about to bring down punishment and punish Mister Su for rashly speaking the taboo title!"

The countless listeners' expressions changed drastically, and they were terrified. At that moment, dark clouds blanketed the sky outside the window, thunder boomed, and it seemed that heavenly punishment was about to arrive.

The scene looked as though divine lightning would strike down the next instant, turning the inn into scorched earth!

Everyone was now gripped by fear. They only wanted to flee this place so they would not be implicated.

They were even filled with bitter regret. If they had known this would happen, they should have stopped Su Yang from continuing earlier.

No matter how curious they were about what came next, they would rather he kept his mouth shut now!

But they had never imagined that Su Yang would actually expose such a taboo with a single sentence!

Third Holy Mother's gaze shifted slightly as she looked toward Su Yang, her eyes filled with disbelief.

A mortal actually dared to call out a taboo title and challenge the majesty of the Heavenly Dao?

As for those Demon Race Demon Kings, the looks they gave Su Yang were filled with even greater shock and incredulity.

He had actually spoken those two words with ease! One had to know that even when they, the Demon Kings, mentioned them, some Invisible Force would interfere, preventing them from saying the words in full!

The Demon Emperor symbolized the most glorious era of the Demon Race!

The Demon Emperor had also been an unparalleled powerhouse in the late quasi-Saint stage, invincible beneath the Saints!

Changxi and Xi He could not help but turn solemn at this moment. Those two words had stirred up painful memories buried deep in their hearts—an age filled with tribulations!

Even Nuwa looked toward Su Yang, a trace of surprise showing in her eyes.

At the same time, in Eight Views Palace deep within Deep Chaos.

Taishang Laojun was meditating with his eyes closed when he suddenly opened them, as if he had sensed something.

His gaze pierced through the chaos and looked from afar toward Qingshan City in the Earthly Immortal Realm of the Primordial World. He even saw the inn in that city.

"Someone still dares to mention the taboo title? Strange. The Heavenly Dao sealed it long ago, so how can anyone still say it?"

Taishang Laojun felt somewhat puzzled but did not investigate further.

At this moment, he was immersed in comprehending the Dao of Yin and Yang and had no time to concern himself with anything else.

Primordial Lord of Heaven watched from afar as events unfolded at the inn in Qingshan City, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"He is merely an ordinary mortal. Although I do not know what method he used to utter those two words, it is obvious that they have violated the forbidden ground of the Heavenly Dao."

"That mortal likely will not live much longer. But why is Nuwa also at that inn? Could it be that she personally descended to the Earthly Immortal Realm just to listen to that mortal recount a past event?"

Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression turned solemn. For a moment, he could not see through the reason. Just as he was about to form hand seals to deduce and spy on Tianji, he remembered that Nuwa was currently in that inn.

The aura left behind by a Saint would surely disrupt Tianji. Although he could deduce all phenomena in the world, he ultimately had no way to pry into matters concerning a Saint.

Primordial Lord of Heaven sighed softly and let the matter drop.

His gaze fell upon Nuwa's figure, and a thought suddenly arose in his heart.

"Hmph. You actually appeared in the Primordial World without authorization and even stayed in the Earthly Immortal Realm for so long. If this reaches Teacher's ears, Nuwa, your peaceful days will probably be over."

Primordial Lord of Heaven sneered, then stamped his foot and headed straight for Zixiao Palace above the chaos.

Within Zixiao Palace.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat upright in the void. As if he had sensed something, he slowly spoke: "Why can someone still utter those two words when they have already been sealed by the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

Sect Master Tongtian raised his eyes toward Dao Ancestor Hongjun upon hearing this. He had also sensed the disturbance at the inn in Qingshan City.

However, this matter had nothing to do with him.

He, Tongtian, was the strongest among the Six Saints. Other than Hongjun, no one in the Primordial World could rival him.

Yet he was now trapped in Zixiao Palace, unable to take even a single step.

That young man had somehow broken free of the restraints of the Heavenly Dao and spoken the forbidden words. But in Tongtian's view, no one in the Primordial World could escape the Heavenly Dao's control.

After experiencing the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, he had long since gained a thorough understanding of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Western Spirit Mountain.

The countless Buddhas were listening to Tathagata expound on the mysteries of Mahayana Buddhism.

Suddenly, Chan Master Wuchao opened his eyes, his expression shocked. His gaze shot toward the east, toward Dongsheng Shenzhou.

"Chan Master Wuchao, why has an anomaly suddenly appeared?"

Tathagata sensed something strange and immediately asked.

Chan Master Wuchao took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Someone has mentioned a taboo and discussed the secrets of the Witch-Demon War."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked.

Tathagata also revealed a strange expression, his gaze following toward Dongsheng Shenzhou.

He, too, wanted to know who could break through the shackles under the Heavenly Dao's seal and discuss such a forbidden matter.

Inside the inn, Su Yang raised his head toward the thunder churning across the sky, his brows lifting slightly.

A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes. He had merely been talking about the Demon Emperor's past in the Shrouding the Heavens World, so how had he touched upon a taboo of the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial World?

Logically speaking, these should have been two completely unrelated matters. Why had the Heavenly Dao suddenly manifested its will, gathering dark clouds across the sky and intending to punish him with thunder?

Inside the inn, the countless listeners were all pale at this moment.

They stared at the anomaly outside the window in terror. Apart from those powerful beings from the Three Realms, whether human cultivators or Demon Race supremes, all of them looked frightened.

Their eyes were filled with unease. If they were struck by this heavenly thunder, they would probably be annihilated in both body and spirit in an instant, dying an utterly unjust death!

Nuwa and the others focused their gazes on Su Yang.

"Sister, this man is far too bold. He actually dared to mention those two forbidden words."

Changxi sent a voice transmission to Xi He: "I wonder whether this young man can survive this calamity?"

Xi He gently shook her head and replied:

"There is no fluctuation of spiritual power from him at all, and I do not know what method he used to say those two words.

"But once those two words sealed by the Heavenly Dao are spoken, there is no escaping a death tribulation."

"In the Primordial Era, the actions of the Demon Race violated the laws of heaven, causing the power of the Heavenly Dao to suffer damage. The root of it all lay with that supreme ruler of the Demon Race."

"Now that someone has mentioned this matter in the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Dao is naturally furious. That young man will probably find it difficult to survive."

Changxi gave a slight nod after hearing this and sighed. "What a pity. I still wanted to hear him continue, but who would have thought it would end just after it began?"

A trace of regret appeared on Xi He's face. Things in this world often failed to go as one wished.

It was fine if she could not hear the whole story.

In their long lives, this was no more than a fleeting moment.

Third Holy Mother looked up at the firmament as thunderclouds churned. She could not help recalling something her mother, Yao Ji, had once said: All living beings in the Primordial World were born in accordance with the Heavenly Dao.

No one could defy Heaven's Mandate!
