Capítulo 1616: Chapter 965: Tomb (Part 3)

Without needing anyone to look in that direction, a vast and majestic aura began to emanate from the depths of a high peak.

The trembling Divine Power made the captain at the head contract his pupils.

“Divine Artifact…”

Actually, as exalted as the Saintly Position, a significant reason for taking such risks was the hope of acquiring a Divine Artifact!

If a Divine Artifact appears in a broken world or Broken Divine Country, it’s mostly ownerless or its previous owner has perished. It can aid in advancing on the Divine Road faster and without being under anyone’s control, making it a choice for many Saints eager to progress further!

Occasionally, such fortunate individuals appear and become legends sung by the Endless Sea.

If it were anything else, it might not make the captain hesitate, but a Divine Artifact…

“Let’s go! This place is not right!”

Finally, he suppressed the greed in his heart; the situation was too coincidental…

But not everyone had the captain’s insight; two other Saints in the team spoke up successively.

“Boss, we’ve labored out at sea for so many years, isn’t this all for the Divine Artifact?”

“We’ve been through difficult adventures, we can’t let the efforts of previous explorations go in vain!”

The two Saints became anxious immediately.

The Divine Artifact could be comprehended by everyone, and it purely competed on speed; they didn’t want to give this up!

Not indulging in life in their homeland means they all have ambition, all want to advance further!

The Divine Road is hard to find, seeking the protection of Divine Spirits has limitations and involves constraints, but now a Divine Artifact is laid before them, only to be abandoned.

They are absolutely unwilling!

“You guys…”

The captain looked at his two brothers and sighed softly.

“Forget it, let’s go then.”

“To hear the Way in the morning, one can die in the evening!”

“To die on the path of pursuit, is also not much!”

Both knew of the great risk, understood what the boss meant, but their resolve remained unchanged.

Digging up a Divine Artifact was an extremely low-probability event; it’s uncertain if there would be another opportunity if they missed this one!

The ship quickly changed course toward that cliff, no longer conserving the energy of Yuan Force, the hull’s radiance intensified, even seeming to flatten the nearby sea surface.

As the ship approached, the brightness of the radiance grew larger, and then automatically opened a space rift ahead.

Knowing it’s peculiar, knowing there might be danger, yet the ship resolutely charged in.

A colossal, pitch-black tomb appeared within this space, the entire space only in black and white.

The ship brought along was also assimilated into the black-and-white tones.

A stifling, eerie, oppressive feel rushed forward.

Only the tip of that tomb had a crown suspended, a white gemstone on the crown radiating a cold brilliance.

Illuminating the ship’s surface, making the ship exhibit evident rust and corrosion…

And seeing the shape of the crown, the well-informed captain shuddered, saying in a coarse voice

“That illustration, it’s the Glory Empire Emperor’s Crown…”

Many True Gods might not reveal themselves often in front of mortals, but the Glory Empire’s Emperor was different in the past.

To rule, many ordinary people saw him from afar, the Emperor occasionally retracted his Divine Power for his people, not making it impossible to gaze upon.

This naturally provided a clearer description.

For treasure hunters like them, they had to catch up on a lot of information!

But why would the Glory Emperor’s Crown appear here!

“There’s word of trouble in the Glory Empire, the Emperor hasn’t shown himself for long, could it be…”

The second-ranked Saint showed immense disbelief and perplexity.

They’ve been out at sea for years, unaware of the Yongling City’s Evil God incident, let alone the recent upheaval in the Glory Empire.

However, rumors of the Emperor’s prolonged absence circulated as minor whispers, unrelated to those in the Saintly Position.

If the Emperor fell, then it all seemed to make sense!

“Let’s go take a look!”

“Legend holds the Emperor has two Divine Artifacts, one renowned as the Imperial Palace, the other being this Emperor Crown!”

“The path of Command is exceptionally strong; if we acquire it, our future prospects would be limitless!”

The ship started being directed rapidly toward the colossal tomb.

Advancing continuously in this grayscale world.

But soon they found, no matter how they flew, this distance seemed not to diminish at all, as if the scene ahead was merely a painting.

Not only that, but they noticed the ship, and themselves within, their black-and-white outlines were fading, lines becoming increasingly indistinct, boundaries blurring.

As if the shadows of black and white were beginning to mix!

Even though they felt no peculiar change themselves, the more so, the more it bred fear within them.

“What bizarre power is this? This doesn’t align with the Emperor’s rumors!”

“How could it be?”

“Should we retreat?”

“I’m afraid it’s too late…”

They gradually understood they seemed to have entered some kind of ruled Command domain, to remain here, they would likely become one with this grayscale world.

Yet, now trying to leave, it was too late…

Suddenly, an antique grayscale document swiftly flew out from the tomb-like painting, effortlessly passing through the ship, landing before them.

Such a change made everyone tremble.

Are we still alive?!

“Accept, or die.”

A rough and hoarse Artistic Conception echoed, making them look at the document’s content.

It basically stated they needed to return to the Glory Empire, to summon the Prince, Second Prince, Princess Tarona, and Princess Cui Lisi, afterward leading them onto the Divine Road, appointing them as Great Generals.

“This…”

But just as they hesitated, having little choice,

A sudden purple thunderbolt illuminated the entire grayscale space, striking fiercely upon that tomb!

Boom~

The Saints instantly became deaf, minds blank, their eyes only retaining the thunderbolt’s imprint.

The grayscale world was dispelled, returning to its colorful state!

Even if the oppressive atmosphere persisted, the main tone was sinister.

But compared to the beginning’s black-and-white painting eeriness, it was far better!

“Haha! It seems you’ve truly been held down, even attempting to seek aid from others, this tomb is indeed a good place! Perfect as your burial ground!”

‘Purple Thunder’s’ arrogant voice appeared, breaking apart this gray world in one strike, making him smile.

Though his road primarily consisted of destruction and assault, he knew there was a clear difference between him and the Emperor.

If truly one-on-one, even escaping would be tough!

But now the Emperor’s state is off, my Nine Heavens Divine Road is also gathered!

Crash~

The sky shattered, rivers from the heavens flooded in reverse.

Sea-like waters seemed to fall from the Endless Sea, surging toward the tomb.

Even without being touched by these waters, the treasure hunters still hovering felt an inexplicable weakness.

Ruishui River!

Subsequently, one figure after another appeared, each bearing their own Authorities, every appearance was a Divine Light, a brilliant Authority!

Finally, ‘Nine Heavens’ arrived on auspicious clouds before the tomb, with a resounding voice

“‘Nine Heavens’ earnestly requests the Emperor to meet his end!”
