588: Chapter 588

The invading Cultivators, who were previously dazed by the counterattack of the Ancestral Mausoleum's killing array, quickly pressed forward again.

Whether the "returned" Old Ancestor of the Zanggu Emperor Sect was real or fake, he possessed the power to directly rewrite the course of the battle.

In that case.

There was no need to test further.

Soon, the sky outside the Ancestral Mausoleum was filled with a vast amount of Saintly pressure.

Several auras at the level of Nine Lotus Great Sages were the first to descend.

They didn't waste any words, unleashing Divine Abilities with a wave of their hands, intending to completely collapse the front of the Ancestral Mausoleum and force the person who had emerged from the ancient coffin back inside.

The Grand Elder of the Emperor Sect's expression changed.

"Old Ancestor, be careful!"

Qin Yun took a step forward and was already standing at the main gate of the Ancestral Mausoleum.

He still carried the scent of Burial Soil from the ancient coffin, and the Origin aura of the Emperor Sect's Old Ancestor flowed endlessly around him.

In the next moment, he raised his hand.

The ground in front of the Ancestral Mausoleum suddenly sank.

The Physical Body of a Nine Lotus Great Sage who was charging at the very front exploded on the spot, spreading a mist of blood into the air.

Just as another person nearby wanted to retreat, Qin Yun pointed with two fingers.

A wisp of Burial Qi surged from underground, piercing through his forehead.

The Saintly body shattered.

The Saintly soul shattered along with it.

The third person roared and sacrificed a Saintly weapon.

But that Saintly weapon had only just flown into the air when it was caught by Qin Yun's hand; with a backhanded shake, the entire weapon snapped on the spot.

Together with the Nine Lotus Great Sage behind it, he was shaken into two pieces.

It was too fast.

So fast that the Disciples of the Emperor Sect inside the Ancestral Mausoleum didn't even have time to react.

The Nine Lotus Great Sages who had just made their hearts turn cold were truly dealt with by Qin Yun with one palm each.

Someone tried to press in from the side.

Qin Yun simply stomped his foot.

The Burial Qi from the leylines beneath the Ancestral Mausoleum surged up, transforming into several black chains that instantly locked several people in place.

In the next instant.

Bang, bang, bang.

Three Saintly bodies exploded one after another.

They couldn't even let out a full scream.

Inside the Ancestral Mausoleum, there was silence.

"Summon the hidden foundations!"

"We can't hold back anymore!"

"Completely level the Zanggu Emperor Sect!"

Accompanied by several low shouts, the aura outside the Ancestral Mausoleum surged once again.

Several Quasi-Emperors appeared.

From even higher up, a heavy aura pressed down.

That was a Great Emperor.

The faces of the Emperor Sect's people, which had just brightened slightly, sank once again.

Facing an existence of this level, the remaining people of the Emperor Sect were completely unable to resist.

Standing before the Ancestral Mausoleum, Qin Yun finally raised his head.

He felt the broken Emperor leyline beneath his feet, and also the Burial Qi from the earth that had been submerged beneath the mountain gate for countless years.

In the next instant, the God-Devil Body within him, which had long since awakened but was rarely used with full force, suddenly jolted.

Demonic Manifestation, open.

Boom.

The Burial Qi beneath the Ancestral Mausoleum seemed to have suddenly found an outlet, frantically pouring into Qin Yun's body.

His eyes darkened in an instant.

Large patches of pitch-black demonic runes surfaced all over his body.

Behind him, a pitch-black Burial Sun slowly rose.

Even further down, within the broken leyline, a phantom of a Burial Dragon formed from Burial Soil and Death Qi coiled upward, wrapping behind him.

The already strong Emperor Body aura was forcibly amplified at this moment by the power of the Burial Soil of the Yuanhuang Heavenly Continent, transforming into a heavy Burial Demon pressure.

As those Quasi-Emperors pressed close, their expressions changed simultaneously.

Qin Yun gave them no time to think.

His figure flickered.

He had already disappeared from his original spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of a Quasi-Emperor.

That person had just raised his hand when Qin Yun's palm landed on his head.

The Quasi-Emperor's entire head and upper body were blown apart together.

Another Quasi-Emperor wanted to retreat.

The phantom of the Burial Dragon suddenly flicked its tail, locking the entire space tight.

Qin Yun threw a punch.

The Quasi-Emperor's chest collapsed, and he flew backward; before he even hit the ground, the Burial Qi on his body had already invaded his Saintly soul through the wound.

He struggled twice in mid-air.

His aura was cut off immediately.

The third person sacrificed a Quasi-Emperor weapon, trying to make a killing strike from behind.

Qin Yun didn't even turn his head; the pitch-black Burial Sun behind him jolted slightly.

Most of the light on the Quasi-Emperor weapon was instantly extinguished.

Of the three Quasi-Emperors, two were gone in the blink of an eye.

The remaining one was only focused on running.

But he had only rushed out dozens of feet when countless Burial Qi vines surged from the ground, binding his arms and legs tight.

Qin Yun made a gripping motion from a distance.

Bang.

This Quasi-Emperor exploded directly into a mist of blood in mid-air.

The Great Emperor who was originally overseeing the scene finally couldn't sit still.

He took action personally.

With a palm pressing down, the Emperor Dao Laws covered the sky, intending to crush Qin Yun along with the entire Ancestral Mausoleum.

Qin Yun looked up at that giant hand, his expression still unchanged.

He stomped his foot.

All the remaining arrays of the Ancestral Mausoleum lit up.

The phantom of the Burial Dragon roared upward, and together with the pitch-black Burial Sun behind him, it collided with the Emperor Dao hand.

Rumble.

Half the sky exploded.

The Emperor Dao Laws shattered into a vast rain of light.

The Great Emperor let out a muffled groan, his figure retreating half a step for the first time.

Just half a step was enough to make everyone on the outskirts feel a chill in their hearts.

Qin Yun didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe.

He stepped into the air and charged directly into the high sky.

He pushed his Physical Body in the Burial Demon form to the limit.

Punch after punch smashed down.

That Great Emperor first blocked, then retreated, blocked again, and retreated again.

In the end, he even sacrificed his Emperor weapon.

But the Ancestral Mausoleum's leyline locked this battlefield, and the Burial Qi continuously eroded him; the longer it dragged on, the worse it became.

Finally, he couldn't hold on anymore.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he immediately fled.

He didn't dare to fight anymore.

If he continued, he might really bury himself here.

Once the Emperor retreated.

Those on the outskirts who were still hoping to take advantage of the situation fell into complete chaos.

"Go!"

"Quickly, leave!"

"The Zanggu Emperor Sect cannot be touched!"

The once-aggressive besiegers fled in an instant.

No one dared to mention the words "wiping out the Emperor Sect" anymore.

Before the Ancestral Mausoleum, there was silence.

Qin Yun slowly descended from the high sky, and the Burial Demon aura on his body also began to slowly recede.

The people of the Emperor Sect looked at him as if they were looking at a living myth.

In the next moment.

The Grand Elder was the first to kneel.

She didn't hesitate at all, directly performing the most ancient kowtow ceremony of the Emperor Sect.

"We request the Old Ancestor to return to his position."

With her kneeling, all the Elders and Disciples behind her no longer had any doubts and knelt in a great mass.

"We request the Old Ancestor to return to his position!"

The voices echoed inside and outside the Ancestral Mausoleum.

Qin Yun looked at the crowd and did not decline.

At this point, the identity was no longer a matter of whether it could be recognized, but must be solidified.

He had consumed the Origin of the Emperor Sect's Old Ancestor and broken through to the Six Lotus Saint realm.

This Karma could no longer be set aside.

Qin Yun stood at the highest point of the Ancestral Mausoleum's stone steps, his tone indifferent.

"Gather the remaining forces."

"Seal the Ancestral Mausoleum."

"Tally the casualties."

"Reclaim as much of the Sect's foundations scattered outside as possible."

"If there are any further troublemakers, kill them."

Soon, the Grand Elder came personally to report.

Once the situation stabilized slightly, she also began to talk about the changes in the Yuanhuang Heavenly Continent in recent years.

Nowadays, in the entire Heaven Province, there was only one most sensational event.

An ancient Ancient Tomb was about to open.

All the Orthodoxies, ancient clans, Saintly Dynasties, and Forbidden Ground powers had already moved.

Rumor had it that something capable of shifting the province's balance was hidden in the tomb.

"That Ancient Tomb's scale is extremely high, far beyond what an ordinary Emperor's tomb can compare to."

"Those qualified to enter the fray are, at the very least, figures above the Saint realm."

Speaking to this point, the Grand Elder hesitated again.

"Before the Emperor Sect's decline, it once had a very slight connection with that Ancient Tomb."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes finally flickered.

Not because of the tomb.

But because the faint Grandmist aura within the tomb immediately made him think of Gu Zhan.

At this time, an even more ancient senior was also helped out.

His vitality was nearly exhausted, and his voice was very low.

"The ancestors once left a message."

"That Ancient Tomb is not just a place for burying people."

"Inside... there might also be an ancient great evil sealed."

As his words fell, everyone went silent.

Qin Yun stood there, but in his heart, he had already connected several threads.

Ancient Tomb.

Gu Zhan.

Nine Heavenly Books.

The thread of the Yuanhuang Heavenly Continent was clearly deeper than he had originally thought.

However, he was in no hurry to set out immediately.

Since the Emperor Sect had a connection with the Ancient Tomb, its true Sect-protecting foundation might give a reaction first.

"Take me to see the Sect-protecting object."

Qin Yun spoke.

The Grand Elder was clearly stunned for a moment, but she quickly nodded.

She personally led the way, bringing Qin Yun into the deepest Forbidden Ground of the Emperor Sect.

In the very center of the Forbidden Ground sat an extremely ancient plate-like object.

It was entirely pitch-black, its edges covered with cracks from the erosion of time.

The Grand Elder said in a low voice, "This object is called the Nine Nether Burial Life Disk."

"Successive Sect Masters could only barely activate a tiny portion of its power."

As soon as Qin Yun stepped into the Forbidden Ground, the void book in his Sea of Consciousness immediately jolted.

The void treasure that complemented it also reacted at the same time.

It didn't rush out.

Instead, it was an extremely rare warning of resonance.

The object of resonance was not the Nine Nether Burial Life Disk itself.

But rather some ancient traces hidden deep within the disk for countless years.

In the next moment.

The Nine Nether Burial Life Disk was also disturbed.

The nether patterns on the disk surface lit up layer by layer, as if something that had slept for too long was being forcibly awakened.

The Grand Elder and several venerable Elders lost their composure on the spot.

Because this disk had never had such a reaction.

Under the resonance of the void book and the void treasure, a small section of fragmented ancient text and an ancient map slowly surfaced from the depths of the disk.

Qin Yun only looked for a moment before coming to a judgment in his heart.

The birth of the Nine Nether Burial Life Disk had once been touched by the power of the death book.

It was not the death book.

Nor was it the complementary Heavenly Treasure of the death book.

It was more like a later-generation ancient artifact that had been tainted by the Law of Death from the death book.
