Lu Yu was extremely excited.
The more he learned about the Great Purge, the clearer it became to him how terrifying that moment would be when it arrived.
The massacre that destroyed all living beings of an entire era!
No one could survive.
King Wang is no good, and King Zun is even worse!
The old man before me claimed that he had survived that catastrophic event.
This is a miracle.
Lu Yu was well aware that if he had known about it, he might have been able to figure out a way to lead his family, and even guide Fang Gang, through this catastrophe.
People from the Heavenly God Organization and other major organizations were also all ears at this moment.
The sound of wind between heaven and earth, the rustling of leaves, all vanished; the starlight in the sky became motionless.
It seemed as if countless ears were waiting for the old man’s response.
Lu Yu’s back turned cold, as if a chill were seeping out from his bones, making his hair stand on end and his heart race.
“Some things, you understand only after you’ve experienced them.” The old man did not provide an answer, leaving everyone disappointed.
At this moment, the silence of the heavens and earth vanished, and the stars in the sky began to shimmer with light once more.
The bone-chilling cold that Lu Yu had felt began to fade away.
“How did you manage to preserve the memories here, Senior?” asked the inheritor of the Blazing Mars Soul.
“Let’s go. I’ve told you enough,” the old man said seriously. “From now on, don’t run around recklessly. If you want to make it to the end, follow me.”
Experts from various organizations nodded their heads.
As soon as the old man revealed his identity, these people had already developed an immense sense of reverence for him.
Even Lu Yu showed respect for the old man.
Lu Yu is the first person he has ever known who has survived a catastrophe that should have been inescapable.
For this reason alone, he deserves respect.
The old man took the lead and walked toward a passageway.
Lu Yu noticed that the old man seemed familiar with the place, yet not entirely so.
As the elder approached the passageway, he slightly lagged behind and walked abreast with Lu Yu, saying, “Young friend, if my memory serves me correctly, this time will be very troublesome. Can I trust you?”
Lu Yu’s expression turned solemn as he said, “Rest assured, Senior!”
Some words need not be spoken at length; whether or not to trust is a matter of actions, not just a promise.
The old man glanced sideways at the people following behind him. Those people had also heard the old man’s words and now couldn’t help but wear solemn expressions.
The old man said solemnly, “I know that since you’ve dared to enter here, you must have some confidence. If this time we’re truly entering the King’s tomb, then everyone must follow my instructions. The struggle there will be extremely fierce.”
A U.S. military soldier said earnestly, “Rest assured, old man, we’re listening to you. This is not one man’s battle; this is a war.”
Everyone kept nodding their heads.
Although the number of people is small.
However, the people here are all elites from various organizations, along with Wang Zun and Wang, as well as star artifacts.
Such a battle was even more extensive in scope than the one in New Shanghai.
“Very good.”
The old man nodded his head.
He raised his head, quickened his pace, and continued to lead the way.
The passage was still blocked by stone beasts.
The old man also took action.
However, he did not resort to using his strength; the terrifying pressure from his Earth Soul Star Spirit was more than enough.
The Earth Soul Star Spirit can increase the surrounding pressure by hundreds or even thousands of times.
Rows upon rows of stone beasts instantly turned into meat paste.
Fewer people were using their hands, and the speed at which the group moved through the passage also slowed down somewhat.
When everyone reappeared on a vast plain, the elder murmured to himself, “It should be about right. If four passages appear this time, you all come back and tell me immediately.”
There were fewer people now, and the group scattered to search the area.
When the people finally returned and gathered the information together, it turned out there were truly four passageways leading out.
The old man said solemnly, “Let’s go. As expected, just like the rumors said—it’s not a treasure hunting place at all. This is a tomb!”
“The tomb?”
Everyone looked at the old man in surprise!
“That’s right. This is a tomb, a burial ground for the deceased. Each time it is opened, it will point to a different burial site. This time, there’s an eighty percent chance it’s pointing to the burial ground of the kings.”
Lu Yu frowned and said, “You said this is a tomb—does that mean this place isn’t just a single burial site?”
“That’s right. Every five years, the direction of the tombs here changes, pointing to different burial sites. This place is the resting place of countless deceased souls from all eras. Lu Yu, prepare yourself; the fierce battle ahead might be a fight to the death!”
The old man still dared not make a final determination, for he had not yet reached the end.
However, this news had already astonished everyone.
One person swallowed hard and said, “This… this is the burial ground of the kings! Not just any king’s tomb!”
These are two entirely different meanings.
The tomb of a king might be the burial place of just one king. But the tombs of many kings could be the resting place for countless rulers.
Lu Yu could feel his heart racing as he exclaimed, “A tomb—this is actually a tomb built to bury the kings of past generations here!”
Everyone’s breathing became labored, as they felt that perhaps soon they would witness a world-shaking secret realm.
The tombs of the kings, this, such a grand mausoleum—who built it!
What kind of place is the tomb site exactly, and what kind of scene would it present?
This time, the old man did not part the crowd but instead led everyone directly in one direction, saying, “Then there is a passageway that leads straight to the tombs of the kings.”
As he spoke, the old man looked at Lu Yu and said, “It’s definitely going to be a fight to the death. In such a battle, no one could survive—not even me, except for you. Kid, are you ready?”
Lu Yu’s expression turned serious as he said, “Senior, are you certain this is the tomb of the Kings? Is it truly worth risking our lives for!”
The old man, upon hearing Lu Yu’s inquiry, for the first time spoke with the most solemn expression: “Young friend, you can rest assured. As long as you survive, I guarantee your efforts will be worth every drop of blood you shed. In fact, it will be ten or even a hundred times worthy.”
As he spoke, the old man turned around and solemnly looked at the others, saying, “As long as you fight your hardest, I guarantee your survival and a great reward. How much exactly, you’ll understand when you see it for yourselves.”
Their hands trembled, their breathing became labored, and they felt an extraordinary surge of excitement.
How noble the elder’s status is! Since the old man has spoken thus, it must certainly be correct.
“Okay, let’s go all out.”
Someone trembled with excitement, raising their fist and exclaiming: “If the senior says so, there must be no problem. We’ll all follow your lead and see what kind of treasure we can ultimately obtain!”
With motivation, everyone moved faster.
The old man became increasingly familiar with the place and confidently led the group straight to the passage.
This passage no longer had stone beasts, so the group walked straight through.
“That’s it, this is the place,” the old man said with a hearty laugh as he stepped through, spreading his arms wide. “I’m back again.”
Lu Yu and others also passed through the passage, and the scene before them left him stunned.
Beyond dozens of miles away stand rows of towering peaks.
Every mountain stands over a thousand meters high, with a golden stone path leading straight from its base to the summit.
The steps shimmered with golden light, extending upward like a golden avenue.
At the highest peaks of the mountains, magnificent and grand palaces stood atop the summits.
They couldn’t tell how many mountains there were, nor did they have the slightest interest in counting them.
But a mountain is a palace.
“The Mausoleum of Kings!” the old man said coldly. “Listen, we can only take one item. So no one had better act recklessly. You have no idea what the best choice is. Once the item is taken, this tomb will seal itself. Come—follow me.”
The old man’s figure moved swiftly, faster than he had ever been before.
The earth beneath his feet seemed to vanish, allowing him to stride forward in a single step, whether facing towering mountains or deep abysses ahead.
The Earth Soul Star is the king on the land.
As long as the elder has the earth beneath his feet, his strength is boundless.
The distance of dozens of miles was not a big deal.
When the old man led the group to the foot of the mountains, they were blocked by an invisible wall.
The tombs of the kings are on the other side of the light wall.
“There is only one passage here, fifty miles long, one hundred meters wide and one hundred meters high!” The old man walked to Lu Yu’s side and said seriously, “That is the only passage leading to the tombs of the kings.”
Lu Yu understood immediately. He looked at the old man seriously and said, “You mean I should guard this passage and not allow anyone to enter!”
Even Lu Yu, composed as he was, could no longer remain calm at this moment.
This request is too difficult.
He had to hold off not just one king, but also a king’s尊 (venerable one), and many more enemies.
Can it be stopped?
Lu Yu felt uncertain.
The old man said solemnly, “You must stop them. If you let them in, it will be too late.”
In front of Lu Yu was the passage, but now it was blocked by a pale blue light barrier.
“The king has come, but he cannot break through this light barrier. It is invincible. Only when the time comes can it be opened,” said the old man. “Now we can do nothing but wait!”
Lu Yu hesitated and asked, “Senior, how long do I need to hold the line?”
“It’s hard to say. Either the passage is closed and we can’t find it, so we just take something randomly. If we have enough time, we take what we want; it might take one day, maybe two days. I can’t really say exactly how long.”
“In other words, if I were to block these people, there would still be risks involved. Because you may not necessarily find what you’re looking for.”
The old man nodded in agreement, indicating that Lu Yu was correct.
At this moment, someone in the crowd spoke up: “Friend, are you sure that if we succeed, the price we pay will be worth it!”
He did not address the old man as “senior” but instead called him “friend.”
Everyone turned around and saw four burly men standing together.
These four individuals remained silent and aloof, trailing behind the crowd as if deliberately keeping to themselves.
The appearance of the elderly man drew their attention, almost making the group forget about the presence of the four individuals.
Now, as these four spoke, Lu Yu’s eyes lit up.
Here, only he had a vague suspicion of the four people’s identities.
The old man glanced at the four of them and asked, “Do you have the ability to stop it?”
He was also somewhat surprised that he couldn’t discern the four individuals’ true strength. These four people were just too mysterious.
“It won’t hold for long, but for a short period of time, the four of us can block this passage and ensure that no one gets through!”
“Oh,” the old man kept eyeing the four of them and said, “I can’t afford to take risks now. It would be best if I could see the four of you demonstrate your abilities.”
“Okay!”
A tall man stood expressionless, nodding slightly. As he did, his eyes began to change, turning silver like a snake’s, with narrow, slit-like pupils.
This is not a human eye; it is something between a snake’s and a dragon’s.
“Dragon Clan!” the elder exclaimed with astonishment. “You’ve actually taken human form.”
