Dying really could happen when you went looking for trouble

The tomb of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor is vast, not only existing within the mountain range on the island, but also hollowed out from the entire island. The burial chamber that truly houses the First Ancestor Demon Emperor's coffin is located beneath this island.

The three Demon Kings, accompanied by a group of Death Warriors, followed the Flower King down the sea, digging into the tomb of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor from the Rock Layer beneath the island.

The Vines broke through a layer of Rock Layer and then probed inside. After carefully sensing the space inside for a moment, the Vines spread out, making way for a passage.

"Go in, there are no traps or Formation inside."

The Flower King took the lead and entered, followed closely by the White Crocodile King and the Eagle King with a squad of Death Warriors.

Once inside, the Eagle King snapped his fingers, igniting a spark at his fingertips. The light illuminated the area, and the group discovered they had arrived at the Main Burial Chamber of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor's Tomb. The interior of the chamber was incredibly vast and serene, practically an underground palace.

"Look over there!"

The White Crocodile King's gaze swept across the surroundings, then suddenly pointed to a place deep in the darkness and said...

Eagle King pushed the ball of flame at his fingertips a little in that direction, and the light illuminated something in the darkness: a giant coffin, tens of meters long and wide, suspended in mid-air by Tree Roots thick Iron Chains and covered with talismans.

Everyone held their breath.

On the other side, Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue also successfully found the entrance to the tomb using the map. They descended the dark tomb steps and, upon reaching the bottom, discovered a wide passageway in front of them, wide enough for two carriages to travel side by side.

After walking several dozen meters further, mottled murals began to appear on both sides of the passage.

Having endured countless years, the murals on the walls of these passageways, though painted with some special Book of Questions, were no longer legible. Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue used their Illumination Spell for a while, but still couldn't make anything out of them.

"What's painted on the wall? Let me see."

Wisdom Immortal volunteered, so Bai Qiuran lifted him up and positioned him facing the mural.

After looking at it for a while, Wisdom Immortal said, "This mural depicts events from the Divine Age. The Heavenly Gods reside high in the sky, ruling over all things on earth. There also seem to be figures of humans and Monster Race among them. There should be more to come."

Upon Bai Qiuran carried him and Su Xiangxue forward for a while, and then discovered a second mural on the wall.

Wisdom Immortal continued scanning with his Great Wisdom, then said, "This mural tells the story of how a Human Race accidentally discovered a method to condense the energy hidden within the human body into True Essence and cultivate into an immortal. He passed this method on to other Human Race and Monster Race, these acquired beings, to gradually prosper."

Bai Qiuran carried Wisdom Immortal forward and then discovered the third mural.

"This painting depicts the Human Race and Monster Race uniting to rebel against the Heavenly Gods and overthrow Heavenly Gods rule."

Bai Qiuran continued forward and this time saw the end of the corridor. On the wall next to the end of the corridor, there was a fourth mural.

"This painting depicts the war that began Human Race and Monster Race after the Heavenly Gods were overthrown."

After scanning, Wisdom Immortal said, "It seems that the Monster Race has lost. Otherwise, the First Ancestor Demon Emperor wouldn't have died, and there would have been no need to use great Divine Ability to spatially isolate the Demon Realm from the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou."

"The food is terrible."

Bai Qiuran scratched the back of his head.

"Speaking of which, has the Monster Race ever defeated the Human Race in its history?"

"I don't know, but in all the battles I know of, the Monster Race lost."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "Failure after defeat is commendable... but every time the Monster Race loses, it seems to be because a great man appears in the Human Race... It seems that destiny truly lies with the Human Race."

"There's nothing more to see here, let's move on."

Bai Qiuran said.

At the end of the corridor was a huge tomb chamber. There was no coffin inside. In the center of the recessed square tomb chamber, there was a large amount of gold and silver treasures, piled up into a small mountain on the ground.

Is this the capital left for future generations who can't hold on any longer to Eastern Mountain?

Bai Qiuran pursed her lips.

"What's the use of keeping gold and silver treasures... it's better to keep some Spirit Stone."

"The currency in the Demon Realm is the same as that in the mortal world of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou —it uses gold, silver, and the currency issued by the Demon Emperor Court." (https://www. hetushu. com. cn)

Su Xiangxue explained, "Besides, who knows how many tens of thousands of years this tomb has existed? Even if it's Spirit Stone, the Spirit Qi inside should have completely dissipated by now."

"Who knows? There's also a small chance that Spirit Stone might awaken sentience and cultivate to Shapeshift as Spirit Stone Monster."

Bai Qiuran spread her hands.

"That will be the protagonist of the Monster Race."

What nonsense are you spouting?

Su Xiangxue patted him on the back, then took out a brand new Storage Bag from her Storage Ring.

"I'm taking all this gold and silver with me... Do you want some?"

"You're quite well-prepared."

Bai Qiuran waved her hand.

"I don't need it. It's useless to me anyway. You can use it to bribe your sect."

After Su Xiangxue collected the treasure, the two people and the skeleton continued down the stairs behind the tomb chamber, walking and stopping along the way, dodging some traps and smashing a bunch of Mechanism Golem, before finally arriving at the deepest part of the underground, inside a huge underground cavern.

At the exit, a wide stone bridge connects to the other side, beneath which lies a bottomless abyss, and on the other side of the bridge is a huge and solemn underground palace.

A huge Stone Stele stood at the entrance to the bridge, and its layout seemed somewhat familiar to Bai Qiuran.

"Hey, Wisdom Immortal."

He shouted, "Don't you old folks all like to dig a hole in the ground and then build bridges, structures, and monuments?"

"Well, you can't say that."

Wisdom Immortal argued, "After all, emperors and generals preferred burial in the ground and also liked palaces when choosing a burial site. So when they dug the pit, they would definitely build an underground palace first."

"Emperors and generals are alright."

Bai Qiuran touched her nose.

While the two were arguing, Su Xiangxue arrived at the Stone Stele. She touched the faded writing on Stone Stele, turned her head and asked, "Hey, Qiuran, hurry up and bring that Skull over here, let's see what's written on it?"

Bai Qiuran brought Wisdom Immortal over, and after examining it for a while, Wisdom Immortal said, "This is a structural diagram of the tomb, marking the contents of each chamber, and there's a warning at the end."

"What warning?"

Su Xiangxue asked.

"Descendants of the Monster Race, unless absolutely necessary, must not disturb the mausoleum of the First Ancestor."

Wisdom Immortal said slowly, "Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, and everything would be destroyed."

"What, did the First Ancestor put an explosive Magic Array in his own coffin?"

Bai Qiuran wondered.

"How should I know? That's all I can glean from this Stone Stele."

The Wisdom Immortal replied, "Great Wisdom is not omniscience."

Bai Qiuran opened her mouth, about to speak, when a terrifying roar suddenly came from the underground palace on the other side of the bridge.

The roar was like thunder, as if several giant dragons roared together. After the roar, the underground palace opposite began to shake violently, and the entire island began to tremble.
