Even so, part of the concealment it had left behind was shattered. Under Wu Xuantian's will, scenes from the past reappeared.
Within the nauseating liquid lay one towering corpse after another. Some had their eyes open, their lifeless gazes terrifying. Others had their eyes closed; though their faces had rotted, their once-imposing features still hinted at extraordinary origins.
Wu Xuantian examined ancient history and learned where the corpses had come from. They were the strongest beings of great worlds sacrificed by the Eerie Clan. Each had been a Quasi-Immortal Emperor who had led countless beings against the Eerie Clan, only to die in battle. Their bodies had then been brought to this Burial Pit and submerged in the liquid.
Over time, some had returned to life, fallen to the Eerie Clan's side, and become its claws.
This was the truth of the so-called Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit. Far more Heavenly Emperor corpses had been brought here over the ages than those he saw now. Great sacrifices across successive epochs had inflicted losses on the eerie outposts, and exceptional fighters had destroyed some of the eerie beings born from those corpses.
Across the long years, no one knew how many mighty beings called Heavenly Emperors had been slain and brought here.
The Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit lived up to its name.
What surprised him was that one of the ancient corpses that had left was evolving toward the End of the Road. That aura spread through the River of Time.
Perhaps what the eerie End-of-the-Road beings had wanted to conceal was the method that had brought about this corpse's evolution.
The leader of the Pollen Path had once fought so fiercely that the eerie End-of-the-Road beings feared her. They, too, wanted to develop another End-of-the-Road being to strengthen the Eerie Clan.
