After tampering the Pharaoh King Mobli’s soul, shreds of soul appeared in Yang Ling’s mind. His Mental Energy and sixth sense improved again. At the same time, he successfully obtained the Pharaoh King’s memories, and discovered many secrets unknown to others.
As it was, the humongous flying Magical Beast in the crypt was known as the Golden Roc and was a Divine Level Magical Beast. It could fly up to thousands of miles with a flap of its wings, being able to travel at lightning speed. What was more incredible was that it could rely on Divine Power and its lightning speed to break through time and space, flying in the terrifying currents of space and time. In other words, it could travel to and from various dimensions.
The ancestor of the Pharaoh came from a Dimension known as Atlantis. A very, very long time ago, the first generation Pharaoh King led part of his clansmen, riding upon the Golden Roc, to an unknown Dimension, ready to mine urgently needed Blue Crystal Ores. Unexpectedly, on their way, they encountered a space particle storm. Even though they escaped death and rode away on the injured Golden Roc, thy unintentionally came to a mysterious place.
Unintentionally, they had barged into the dangerous Graveyard of the Deities and Demons!
Just as they had one harrowing escape, the first generation Pharaoh King had not even taken a short break on the foreign land, they were forcefully chased off by an elder who hurried over after having heard the news. In the ensuing conflict, both parties attacked each other.
After a totally chaotic battle, the mysterious elder was gravely injured and fell to the ground. Treasures like the Teleportation Portal and the Ring of the Earth fell to the ground. The mysterious elder then retreated hastily, and had no time to pick the treasures up, leaving them behind. Before he left, he sent a Magical Message, summoning a group of fearsome and ferocious evil demons.
The mysterious elder might be gravely wounded, but the first generation Pharaoh King also suffered from great losses!
Seven or eight out of every ten of his elite men were gone. The ligaments and tendons of the first generation Pharoah King were almost completely broken. Even though he slowly recovered later on, but it left behind a fatal latent danger, so that an Ancient Wizard could later on take advantage of it.
The Pharaoh King was the center of the clan. To the clansmen, his injury did not bode well for the clan. But, this was not the most frightening thing to have happened!
Even though it had broken through the space particle storm in the currents of space and time, the Divine Level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc had already been gravely wounded. After barging into the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons, in order to defend against the mysterious and powerful elder, it again took the brunt of his attacks, his injuries getting more and more serious.
After fighting off the first wave of evil demons with difficulty, the Divine Level Golden Roc tore through space and time, and with its last breath, carried everyone away from the terrifying Graveyard of the Deities and Demons. After landing on the Tailun Continent, its injuries were already so severe that it was beyond help. It could not help but seal itself away, and wait for its clansmen to help it, slowly healing its own severe injures during its endless waiting.
The gravely wounded Divine Level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc had made the wisest choice, but it did not expect that this wait would last ten thousand years!
The first generation Pharaoh King led his clansmen and stubbornly survived on Tailun Continent, and built the Underground Tomb. He moved the Golden Roc and his dead clansmen deep into the Underground Tomb for safekeeping. He hoped that one day, he would be able to find the Natural Spirit Treasure to help the Golden Roc to heal rapidly. He also hoped that one day, his clansmen in Atlantis would be able to find him and his party.
To fulfil his wishes, Pharaoh Kings of later generations sealed away the corpses of the dead clansmen and their descendants, and relied on the power of the powerful Thebes Empire to search for all sorts of treasures from everywhere. They even used the Teleportation Portal to enter the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons. Unfortunately, ten thousand years had passed, and the Crystal coffins in the Underground Tomb had become numerous and covered a huge area, yet no one had been able to find the treasure that would resurrect the Divine Level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc, nor had any clansmen from Atlantis come.
Treasures from the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons?
After keeping away various treasures like the Space Ring, Ring of the Earth and the Teleportation Portal on the Pharaoh King’s body, Yang Ling looked at the Teleportation Portal carved with runes, and looked at the astonishingly powerful Ring of the Earth. After being overjoyed, he was filled with doubt.
According to the Pharaoh King Mobli’s memories, the first generation Pharaoh King was not someone that an ordinary Divine Level Expert was a match for, not to mention the Golden Roc Magical Beast that was astonishingly powerful even within Atlantis itself. The power and capabilities of a Divine Level Magical Beast that could break through space and time, and fly in the currents of space and time, were definitely something that could not be overlooked. Compared to Elder Brent who had been trapped in the Underground Tomb for thousands of years, it was definitely many times more powerful!
Although there were only a few soldiers left, but back then, the first generation Pharaoh King and his party were still able to rule the whole of Tailun Continent and build the gret Thebes Empire. He could only imagine how powerful they were at the height of their power, but, they were still gravely injured by the mysterious elder!
He had a Teleportation Portal that would allow him to come and go from the Graeyard of the Deities and Demons freely, and could challenge hundreds of Atlantis warriors by himself, and seriously injure the powerful Pharaoh King and a Divine Level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc …
If Yang Ling was shocked by a head poking out of the Teleportation Portal, and how anevil demon was almost sent over to the Underground Tomb by the Teleportation Portal, then the mysterious elder within the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons had truly astounded him. He was unable to imagine exactly how terrifyingly powerful the mysterious elder might be!
The scope of this world and how complicated things were, far exceeded his own imagination!
Shaking his head, Yang Ling wore the Ring of the Earth, and kept the Teleportation Portal in the Space Ring, then carefully examined the huge crypt. After coming into contact with Elder Brent, and gaining access to the Pharaoh King Mobli’s memories, he realized that there were still many things he did not know and understand in this strange world.
The whole underground crypt could be divided into three zones. One zone was used to store thousands of years worth of accumulated fortunes of the Thebes Empire, one zone was used to put the ice-cold Crystal coffins, and the largest zone was where the Divine Level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc laid, unmoving.
After ruling the continent for thousands of years, the successive generations of Pharaoh Kings had accumulated and astonishing amount of fortunes. There were countless gem stones, huge amounts of top quality Crystals, and even boxes and boxes of strange items… Even if he wore Space Rings on all ten of his fingers, Yang Ling guessed that he would not be able to fit everything in. Thankfully, he still had a Wizard Pagoda’s Space with a broad expense of land. He would not reject anything. The more the merrier.
The Tribesmen who came with the first generation Pharaoh King to the Tailun Continent were not many. Many of them who settled in Tailun Continent only had one child to carry on the line. Many of them did not even leave any descendants behind. But, after a few thousand years, the combined number of them were not few. The transparent Crystal coffines were densely packed across a large area.
Every coffin was filled with an inky green fluid, with a light scent of formaldehyde. If he had gussed correctly, this was why the corpses were so life-like even after ten thousand years. It was vastly different from the rumors that were being spread on the outside.
According to the memories of the Pharaoh King Mobli, all the clansmen who had died would be soaked in a solution like this, in the hopes of being resurrected one day on the altar in Atlantis. Only the servants or soldiers who were buried together would have their organs removed, and bandaged with a cloth to become dried out mummies.
The underground crypt was huge, but just the Divine Level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc, laying on the floor, had already taken up half the space.
Looking at the Golden Roc laying on the ground like a mountain that was more than ten stories high, and the body that was fully covered with hard scales that even the Blood Elf Dagger could not stab through, and looking again at cold light glinting off the giant claws, Yang Ling as astounded beyond belief. He could not imagine how powerful its attack abilities would be if it were resurrected!
If he had such a strong and top level Magical Beast, not to mention the Church’s vengeance, it would definitely be no problem for him to even directly attack the Holy city and destroy the entire Church!
Whoosh…
Just as Yang Ling was preparing to circle a few times around the Golden Roc, the ground suddenly started to shake. The gem stones and crystals piled high into a small hill started to slide down with rustling sounds. Dust started falling away from the walls, and pieces of rocks started falling from above him…
Earthquake, or…
After feeling that the ground was sinking bit by bit, Yang Ling looked grave. In that moment, he did not know if it was an earthquake he encountered by coincidence, or he had accidentally triggered some ultimate restriction of the Underground Tomb. The structure of the Underground Tomb was unique. The would Underground Tomb could collapse in an instant. If he could not escape in time, Yang Ling feared that he really would be buried alive and accompany the Pharaoh King! In great shock, he had no time to look at everything in detail and just used the Object Assimilation Restriction to keep away all items of value, including gem stones and crystals.
After swallowing a few handfuls of Magical Beasts Blood Orbs, and emptying all the accumulated fortunes of the successive Pharaoh Kings in batches, Yang Ling had no time to rest. He quickly walked around the underground crypt to see if there were any treasures he might have missed out. The Thebes Empire, in history, controlled a huge expanse of land. At its peak, it ruled over half the people on the continent. Surely the items that the successive Pharaoh Kings had kept into the underground crypt were all hard to find treasures. Naturally, he could not let a rare opportunity like this pass.
Rumble…
The shaking in the Underground Tomb was getting stronger and stronger. Piece after piece of huge rocks smashed downwards one after and other. The ground was slanting more and more. After turning his body sideways to avoid a huge rock that brushed past him, Yang Ling looked at the Divine Level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc, laying unmoving on the ground. He gritted his teeth, and expanded a huge amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy to keep this Magical Beast into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, regardless of consequences. He then used the Earth Evasion Spell to teleport out of there. The Underground Tomb was filled with pulses of hidden energy, so he was unable to teleport directly to the surface, but he should have not much trouble teleporting to the third level of the Underground Tomb.
There were treasures everywhere in the underground crypt. Not to mention everything else, just the Crystal coffins the successive Pharaoh Kings were deep asleep in, were no ordinary items. Unfortunately, after using the Object Assimilation Restriction a few times over a large area, Yang Ling’s Wizard Power and Mental Energy were at a low. If he were to forcefully attempt to keep away the Crystal coffins, he was afraid that he might not even have enough Wizard Power left to cast the Earth Evasion Spell to teleport out. Furthermore, the Underground Tomb was collapsing at a faster rate. If he did not quickly get out of there, he really might have to be buried alive together with the previous generations of Pharaoh Kings!
“Not good!”
The Underground Tomb was collapsing more and more rapidly. Huge stones fell like rain. Unfathomably deep cracks formed on the ground. Water even gushed in huge amounts from many of the cracks. After teleporting to the third level, Yang Ling saw that a nearby Teleportation Formation was about to be destroyed by a falling giant rock that was lightning fast. Yang Ling was stunned and teleported straight over while gritting his teeth. Just as he used the Teleportation Formation to teleport out, a loud bang was heard from behind him. He was nearly buried alive in a pile of rocks.
One formation, two formations, three formations…
Every time he got out of a Magical Formation, Yang Ling immediately teleported to the next Teleportation Formation like mad, teleporting out of there one formation at a time, and swallowing Magical Beast Blood Orbs a handful at a time to replenish lost Wizard Power and Mental Energy. Every time was a close shave, rushing to leave before the Magical Formations were completely destroyed. Just as he reached the surface , the whole Underground Tomb sunk completely with a ‘rumble’ sound, revealing a large hole like it had been hit by a meteorite. Maybe there was a hidden river running underground, or maybe there was a huge source of a spring deep within the Underground Tomb, but within a short period of time, huge amounts of spring water gushed out into the hole. It filled up more and more, slowly forming a huge lake.
