Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf, Planting a Slave Seal

Not long after Sage Gui Ying led the two of them out, a brilliant divine light erupted from within the tomb.

"Did something happen inside?"

"Why did the Divine Son unleash such tremendous power?"

Worry filled Sage Gui Ying's eyes.

This Great Emperor's Tomb was truly bizarre. It seemed that aside from Su Changge, everyone else would be affected by it.

"Judging by this, he must have encountered some mishap. I'm afraid that lord is in grave danger."

"Hiss—shut your mouth! If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"

"If something really happens to that lord, do you think our Heaven River Realm will have an easy time?"

At that thought, everyone's minds roared, their bodies trembling without end.

That was right!

If something happened to that lord within this tomb, even more powerful beings would surely descend!

When that time came, the Heaven River Realm would be turned upside down completely!

"This aura is too strange. It seems to carry a devouring force."

"More than half of the power I released earlier was inexplicably absorbed."

After dispelling the dark aura within the tomb, Su Changge continued toward the black mist.

The moment he stepped into the black mist, Su Changge's expression turned solemn.

He did not dare let down his guard. He mobilized Yin Yang Sword Qi and combined it with the Qi and Blood of his Saintly Body, forming a barrier of light.

This was to prevent the black mist from corrupting him.

He was also puzzled now. Rather than a tomb, this place felt more like a prison.

Clatter! Clatter!

The sound of chains colliding and dragging echoed through the vast space. With every tremor, the golden chains burst with golden radiance, and even wisps of a Great Emperor's Might spread through the air.

"These chains..."

"They seem to be a damaged Emperor Weapon?"

The reason he called it damaged was because, though it carried a Great Emperor's Might, the feeling it gave off was already extremely weak.

Like a candle flame swaying in a violent gale, it could be extinguished at any moment.

Following the chains deeper with his gaze, he saw that they were indeed binding something.

"A thousand years have passed. Someone has finally come!"

"Boy! I am the final trial set by the Heaven River Great Emperor. Hurry up and release me!"

"As long as you defeat me, you can obtain all the inheritances!"

Su Changge followed its gaze.

Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur.

Yet there was a striking tuft of snow-white fur on its forehead, shaped like a crescent moon.

Its pupils were golden-brown, as though they shone with brilliant divine light.

"A dog?"

Su Changge was somewhat dumbfounded. Although this dog looked rather strange, it was undeniably a dog!

The Heaven River Great Emperor's final trial was to defeat a dog?

"You brat! Do you have any eyesight at all?"

"I am a wolf! A Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf, one of the Twelve Ancient Ferocious Beasts!"

"Boy, hurry up and release me. Once you defeat me, you can obtain all the Great Emperor's inheritances!"

All the inheritances of a Great Emperor—most people would be unable to refuse such a temptation.

But Su Changge had a system. Great Emperor opportunities did not truly move him; he was merely curious.

Instead, he was more interested in this dog!

"Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf..."

"It devours the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, and can also drain the life force of all living things. Looking at you now, you truly are incredibly weak."

"Still, the blood of an Ancient Ferocious Beast is quite a rare cultivation resource."

"It seems the Heaven River Great Emperor intended to gift you as an opportunity to future generations."

Su Changge smiled faintly, as though everything lay within his grasp.

Legend had it that the Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf was a surviving descendant of the primordial ferocious beasts of the Immortal Realm. Its terrifying talent was equally shocking.

The potential within its bloodline even contained a trace of Immortal Realm Intent.

It was a terrifying demonic beast capable of dominating an entire region.

"Hmph!"

"That brat, the Heaven River Great Emperor, used underhanded means to capture me, then ran off to fight a great battle and got himself killed!"

"To tell you the truth, the Heaven River Great Emperor's Dao body had already dissipated in that battle. Though this is his tomb, aside from the Emperor Weapons he possessed in life, there is no true inheritance of his at all!"

"If you release me, I can even lend you a hand!"

After saying this, the Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf was in no hurry, as though it were waiting for Su Changge's answer.

In any case, it could control this world. Without its permission, the other party would not be able to leave!

Su Changge pondered for a moment before saying, "Releasing you is not impossible, but you must answer a few questions first."

"Ask away. If I know the answer, I will hide nothing."

"What was that strange sorrowful emotion?"

"That was the Heaven River Great Emperor's lingering thought from when he was alive. This lingering thought has no consciousness; it is merely the awareness he had before death."

"Why did the Immortal Realm shatter?"

"I do not know much about that either. That great battle first erupted from the Immortal Realm. I heard it was a force from beyond the domain. The battle swept across the myriad heavens and worlds, and the Immortal Realm ultimately shattered."

"What does the true Heavenly Dao mean?"

"I don't know that."

The Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf explained, "Over these long years, much of my power and memories have faded away."

"If you want to know the true answer, you can seek out the Path to Immortality in the future. That is the only way to reach the Immortal Realm."

Su Changge nodded slightly. He had not intended to learn too much in the first place.

Besides, his current strength was insufficient. If he wished to head to the Path to Immortality, he first needed to achieve the Emperor's Path.

"I can release you, but you must first let me plant a Slave Seal."

"Impossible!" The Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf revealed a savage expression. It was a dignified Ancient Ferocious Beast—acknowledging a human as its master would be nothing less than humiliation!

"I'm merely informing you. I'm not asking for your consent."

Buzz!

Su Changge brought forth the pagoda, a Half-Immortal Artifact. The Holy Land Ancestor had already made thorough preparations.

As long as he poured a portion of his power into it, the pagoda would activate on its own.

The void trembled as endless brilliant divine light tore apart this world. Terrifying pressure poured down, and even space was annihilated inch by inch.

"A H-Half-Immortal Artifact!"

The Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf trembled all over. A Half-Immortal Artifact was not something this world could possess; its power was far beyond that of an Emperor Weapon!

"Who exactly are you...?"

As divine light continuously burst from the pagoda, it was as though a towering figure descended into this space.

That figure was bathed in hazy divine light, as though a single glance could pierce through eternity.

This was precisely a wisp of will left behind by Po Jun Ancestor.

"Changge?"

Po Jun Ancestor frowned slightly. He could sense a trace of an Emperor's aura, though it was exceedingly weak.

"A Great Emperor's Tomb..."

"This is an Ancient Ferocious Beast?"

"Changge, you truly are favored by the Heavenly Dao. You actually found a Great Emperor Relic."

A faint smile appeared on Po Jun Ancestor's phantom.

With a sweep of his hand, the dense black mist instantly scattered.

Before them, all four limbs of the Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf were bound by thick chains, while a Great Emperor's Might seemed to be suppressing its aura.

Perhaps because too much time had passed, many parts of those chains had begun to decay.

"What a pity. Less than a tenth of this Emperor Weapon's remaining power is left. It seems it also experienced that great battle."

"Still, this Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf at the Saint Initial Stage is somewhat interesting. At its peak, it should have been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Great Emperor."

"If you want it, Changge, it would not be impossible to capture it for you as a mount."

"What? A mount?" The Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf felt like dying. This was utterly without martial honor!

They actually wanted to capture it as a mount?

Po Jun Ancestor waved his hand, and the Dao rhymes and laws filling the heavens instantly descended.

The Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf's Sea of Consciousness was shattered in an instant as if it were made of paper.

Once a Slave Seal was planted, one would forever be driven by the other party, reduced to a servant.

To plant a Slave Seal on an Ancient Ferocious Beast that could one day stand shoulder to shoulder with a Great Emperor—only the Returning Origin Holy Land could do such a thing.
