Meanwhile, the Qing Emperor’s Tomb shook violently as the palace released an Azure Emperor phantom and a more ancient, savage presence began to awaken.

• The surviving cultivators hurriedly cleared the battlefield and fled Qing Emperor's Tomb through weakened spatial nodes.

Su Mu watched the cultivators flee the Qing Emperor's Tomb after the Demonic Eye of Annihilation devastated the ruins, then recorded and analyzed the Azure Emperor’s deepest inheritance. He took possession of the three treasures, including the Chaos Green Lotus Seal, and considered how it could let him control some of the Azure Emperor’s arrangements.
