In the great tomb highly valued by Lingxu Cave Heaven, what earth-shattering secret was buried?

"Ye Fan stepped into the great tomb, and several elders of Lingxu Cave Heaven began to decipher the inscriptions within."

"After a period of deduction and research, they actually reached a shocking conclusion: the person buried in this tomb is actually a powerful Demon Clan expert!"

"This great tomb is the tomb of the Demon Emperor!"

Crackling!!

The sky suddenly changed, and thunder roared, as if the words "Demon Emperor" had touched some supreme rule, triggering an anomaly in heaven and earth!

What did the Demon Emperor signify?

He was the supreme leader of the Demon Clan in the ancient Primordial World during the Witch-Demon era, ruling the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, commanding all demons, and shaking heaven and earth!

However, the Demon Clan had long since fallen, no longer enjoying their former glory, and the Heavenly Dao no longer favored them. Such a title had long become taboo, not allowed to reappear in the world!

"What did Mr. Su just say?"

"Heavens, aren't those two words already forbidden? How dare Mr. Su mention them so openly!"

"This is bad! The thunder is rumbling, I'm afraid the Heavenly Dao will descend to punish Mr. Su for speaking the forbidden name!"

The faces of the many listeners changed drastically, filled with fear. At this moment, dark clouds gathered outside the window, and thunder rumbled, as if Heavenly Punishment was imminent.

The scene was as if divine lightning would strike at any moment, and the inn would be reduced to scorched earth!

Everyone was now filled with dread and wanted to flee this place to avoid being implicated.

They regretted it immensely, wishing they had stopped Su Yang from continuing to speak earlier.

No matter how curious they were about the rest of the story, they would have preferred him to remain silent!

But they never expected that Su Yang would actually utter such a taboo!

The Third Holy Mother's gaze flickered as she looked at Su Yang, filled with disbelief.

A mortal dared to utter the forbidden name and challenge the majesty of the Heavenly Dao?

As for those Demon Clan Demon Kings, their gazes towards Su Yang were now filled with shock and incredulity.

He had uttered those two words so easily! They knew that even they, as Demon Kings, would be obstructed by some invisible force when mentioning them, unable to speak them completely!

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

The Demon Emperor was also a supreme expert in the late Quasi-Sage stage, invincible below the Sages!

Changxi and Xi He couldn't help but look solemn at this moment. These two words evoked painful memories in their hearts, a period filled with tribulation!

Even Nuwa looked at Su Yang, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Meanwhile, in the Eight Views Palace, deep within the chaos.

Taishang Laojun, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, as if sensing something.

His gaze pierced through the chaos, looking far towards Qingshan City in the Earthly Immortal Realm of the Primordial World, and even saw the inn in that city.

"Someone still dares to utter the forbidden name? Strange, the Heavenly Dao has long sealed it, why can someone still say it?"

Taishang Laojun felt a slight confusion but didn't delve deeper.

He was currently immersed in comprehending the Way of Yin and Yang and had no time for anything else.

Primordial Lord of Heaven observed what was happening in the inn in Qingshan City, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

"He's just an ordinary mortal. Although I don't know how he managed to utter those two words, they have clearly offended the forbidden realm of the Heavenly Dao."

"It seems that mortal is likely nearing his end. But why is Nuwa also at that inn? Did she personally descend to the Earthly Immortal Realm just to hear that mortal recount a past event?"

Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression was solemn, and he couldn't fathom the reason for a moment. Just as he was about to use his fingers to divine and glimpse the secrets of heaven, he remembered that Nuwa was currently in that inn.

The aura left by a Sage would surely disrupt the heavenly secrets. Although he could divine all phenomena in the world, he was ultimately powerless to pry into the affairs of a Sage.

Primordial Lord of Heaven sighed and gave up.

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

"Hmph, to appear in the Primordial World without authorization and linger in the Earthly Immortal Realm. If this matter reaches Teacher's ears, Nuwa, your peaceful days are likely over."

Taishang Laojun sneered, stomped his foot, and headed straight for the Zixiao Palace above the chaos.

In Zixiao Palace.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat in the void, as if sensing something, and slowly spoke, "Why, even though those two words have been sealed by the power of the Heavenly Dao, someone can still utter them?"

Sect Master Tongtian looked up at Hongjun upon hearing this. He had also noticed the anomaly in the inn in Qingshan City.

However, this matter had nothing to do with him.

He, Tongtian, was the strongest among the Six Sages, and besides Hongjun, no one in the Primordial World could defeat him.

Yet, he was now trapped in this Zixiao Palace, unable to move an inch.

That young man, by some unknown means, managed to break free from the restraints of the Heavenly Dao and speak the forbidden words. But in Tongtian's view, no one in the Primordial World could escape the control of the Heavenly Dao.

Having experienced the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, he had long understood the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Western Spirit Mountain.

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

Suddenly, Chan Master Wuchao opened his eyes, his expression shocked, his gaze fixed eastward, towards Dongsheng Shenzhou.

"Chan Master Wuchao, why this sudden anomaly?"

Tathagata sensed something amiss and immediately inquired.

Upon hearing this, Chan Master Wuchao took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, "Someone has mentioned the forbidden topic, discussing the secrets of the Witch-Demon War."

At these words, the entire assembly was stunned.

Tathagata also showed surprise, his gaze shifting towards Dongsheng Shenzhou.

He too wished to know, under the Heavenly Dao's seal, who could break through the restrictions and speak of such forbidden matters?

Inside the inn, Su Yang looked up at the surging lightning in the sky, his brows slightly raised.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had merely spoken of past events concerning the Demon Emperor in the Shrouding the Heavens World; how could it have touched upon the forbidden secrets of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao?

Logically, these should have been two unrelated matters. Why did the Heavenly Dao suddenly manifest its will, gathering dark clouds to unleash the punishment of lightning?

Within the inn, countless listeners now had pale faces.

They stared at the anomaly outside the window in terror. Aside from those powerful beings from the three realms, all others, whether Human Race cultivators or Demon Clan supreme beings, were filled with dread.

Their eyes were full of unease. If struck by this heavenly lightning, they would likely be annihilated instantly, dying an utterly unjust death!

Nuwa and the others focused their attention on Su Yang.

"Sister, this person is too bold, daring to utter those two forbidden words."

Changxi transmitted her voice to Xi He, "I wonder if this young man can survive this ordeal?"

Xi He gently shook her head and replied:

"There is no spiritual energy fluctuation from him, and I don't know what method he used to utter those two words. However, once those words, sealed by the Heavenly Dao, are spoken, escaping death becomes difficult."

"In the Primordial era, the Demon Clan's actions violated heavenly principles, causing damage to the Heavenly Dao's power. The root cause lay with that supreme ruler of the Demon Clan."

"Now, someone mentions this matter in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Heavenly Dao is naturally enraged. This young man likely cannot survive."

Changxi nodded slightly upon hearing this and sighed, "What a pity. I wanted to hear him continue his story. I didn't expect it to end before it even truly began."

Xi He's face showed a hint of regret. The affairs of the world are often not as one wishes.

It was acceptable that this story could not be heard in its entirety.

In their long years, it was merely a fleeting moment.

The Third Holy Mother looked up at the sky, the thunderclouds churning. Her mother, Yao Ji, had once said: All beings in the Primordial World are born according to the Heavenly Dao.

No one can defy this heavenly mandate!
