I picked up the scattered attributes

Nothing happened!

"Look, Ancestor Mu Chen's blood cloud has also dissipated. Could it be that the two of them have reached some kind of agreement and decided to cooperate in exploring the second level?"

Just then, a demonic bird couldn't help but let out a strange cry: "Damn it, we might have all been fooled by them!"

The moment the words were spoken, an uproar erupted from all directions.

At this moment, many demons recalled the scene at the bottom of the Heavenly Ladder.

Back then, Feng Xia teamed up with that snake demon girl named Qing Lin to secretly swindle a certain powerful demon out of a huge sum of money! Hmm... what was that powerful demon's name again?

Xuan Qinghe shook his head, a strange expression on his face.

"Given the circumstances at the time, even if Xia Donghai had already cooperated with Ancestor Mu Chen... it doesn't seem impossible?"

It must be said that this guess is indeed very reasonable.

Even without much supporting evidence, Xuan Qinghe was already starting to believe it.

"Look! There seems to be something within the purple aura!"

Just as the demons hesitated, the one that had invited them earlier cried out again.

In an instant, all the demonic beasts raised their heads, and countless gazes were cast toward the sky.

There, the vast purple aura that enveloped the central sacred mountain suddenly surged violently. At first glance, it seemed as if some enormous creature was moving through it, stirring up the purple aura and confusing time and space!

"What... what's going on here?"

At this point, even Xuan Qinghe, a descendant of the Xuan Turtle clan, felt his mind was starting to malfunction: "This time, the opening of the Demon Emperor's Tomb is so different from before..."

He originally thought that with the vast amount of knowledge passed down in his clan, even if he couldn't be the first in the Demon Emperor's Tomb, he could still gain an advantage and, like a dragon swimming in the ocean, reap many opportunities that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

As it turned out...

He's being far too naive!

The trajectory of reality, ever since Xia Donghai appeared, seems to have slid into an unknown abyss, becoming increasingly chaotic, uncertain, and unpredictable!

"Could it be that everything was Xia Donghai's fault?"

For no apparent reason, such a thought surfaced in Xuan Qinghe's mind.

Before he could think it through, a massive, all-encompassing shadow finally pushed through the vast purple mist and appeared atop the central divine mountain.

From a distance, it looks like another central sacred mountain, its top flattened and hanging upside down in the sky!

……

Chapter 0346

"My God—"

"What is this?"

"Is it a mirage, or am I hallucinating?"

This scene is truly breathtaking.

Long before, outside the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, the demons had already witnessed a similar sight: a magnificent mountain range hanging upside down, as if the whole world had been turned upside down at that moment.

However, the scene back then was far from comparable to what it is now.

How magnificent is the Central Sacred Mountain!

It spanned the entire first level of heaven and earth, occupying the center of the world. In the eyes of mortals, it was infinitely magnificent and immeasurably majestic, no different from the legendary pillar of heaven!

At the summit of the central sacred mountain, it was shrouded in a dense purple aura, vast and boundless, like the origin of the world's emergence, or the end of all things, supreme and filled with boundless holiness.

At this very moment, another central divine mountain burst forth from the vast purple aura, as if it had fallen from the heavens above, from beyond the thirty-three heavens, and descended upon everyone's heads!

The only difference was that the central divine mountain that appeared from the purple aura seemed to have been cut off by some force, and its top was a wide plain, with boundless earth energy constantly surging, filled with an indescribable heavy pressure.

More importantly, the mountains seen outside the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum were merely an illusory reflection.

And now, no matter how you look at it, the divine peak above their heads is a completely real and terrifying existence!

Some of the more timid monsters immediately collapsed to the ground, trembling and terrified, fearing that the sacred mountain above them would fall and crush all the creatures below into a pulp.

It is conceivable that if such a thing were to happen, it would be an earth-shattering catastrophe!

Even for great masters like Wang Jue and Chi Yanli, once they encounter such a terrible disaster, there is almost no possibility of escape.

"It's not an illusion, nor is it a mirage."

A massive white tiger emerged, its voice deep and hoarse. It was none other than Wang Jue of the White Tiger royal family. He looked up at the sky, his expression one of shock, and involuntarily murmured in a daze:

"What exactly did Xia Donghai do inside... to cause such a commotion?"

"What? Xia Donghai made this commotion?"

All the demons present were utterly shocked.

Even Chi Yanli looked at him with horror.

Wang Jue shook his head and said, word by word, "Do you think that kind of commotion is something that Ancestor Mu Chen could have caused?"

Many of the demonic beasts were immediately taken aback.

To be fair, if Ancestor Mu Chen and Xia Donghai were standing in front of them at the same time, most of them would naturally think that... Xia Donghai was the "culprit" who caused this shocking change!

The infamous reputation of Old Ancestor Muchen is nothing compared to Xia Donghai's!

“That Xia Donghai does indeed possess such power…” Chi Yanli nodded thoughtfully.

Of all the important people present, he was probably the one who had the most contact with Feng Xia.

Therefore, he was very clear that Wang Jue's words were not an exaggeration.

Who is Xia Donghai?

That was a ferocious god who dared to kill even the Holy Son, and... he killed him more than once!

Such a record makes one wonder if he could easily handle even if the Demon God Palace were to retaliate or even if the Demon Emperor himself were to intervene.

"If it's Xia Donghai..."

"It doesn't seem as exaggerated as it used to be!"

"Understand, understand!"

After a brief silence, many of the demonic beasts nodded in agreement.

This explanation has clearly gained widespread acceptance.

Since that evil god has even slaughtered the Holy Son, what is this little commotion?

Even if he were to dig up the grave of the first Demon Emperor and even resurrect the first Demon Emperor... they wouldn't be too surprised!

Wang Jue shook his head, his gaze fixed on the divine peak in the sky, and said, word by word, "No matter what Xia Donghai did to cause such an amazing phenomenon, we can't just sit here and wait; we must take action."

His reminder brought the demons back to their senses.

At this moment, the divine peak whose summit had been flattened had descended to an extremely low position, like a floating continent, pressing down on the heads of many living beings.

Although it did not continue to fall, the breathtaking pressure had reached an unprecedented level.

Anyone with a modicum of sense could see at this point that a major change had occurred on the second level of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, and continuing to stand there in a daze would be of no use!

"That's right!"

Chi Yanli also looked up at the sky, and then spoke in a calm voice: "Everyone, please don't forget that the reason we are standing here is not just to pay homage to the footsteps of our predecessors, but to become stronger, to catch up with them... and even to surpass them in the end!"

As he uttered these words, a scene involuntarily flashed through Chi Yanli's mind:

A graceful figure descended from the central divine mountain. The divine bridge connecting heaven and earth unfolded slowly beneath his feet like a long ladder. Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, he plucked a lotus flower from the void. With a flick of the flower and a pluck of its leaves, he instantly killed the Holy Son!

"If I had the power of Xia Donghai, perhaps I could resolve the crisis in my clan..."

Just then, a blazing light suddenly shone from the divine mountain that was hanging upside down in mid-air, and then a terrifying figure with overwhelming power slowly emerged.

When they saw that figure, almost all the demonic beasts were stunned.

Even the well-traveled Xuan Qinghe couldn't help but tremble at this moment. His massive body took a step back, causing the ground beneath his feet to rumble.

"This...this...this is impossible...this is absolutely impossible..."

Not only him, but also Wang Jue, Chi Yanli, and other creatures further away were all intimidated by that figure.

Amidst the vast horde of demonic beasts, Mo Lianque, who was about to set off, was suddenly jolted, staring in disbelief at the imposing figure that resembled a withered twig.

He had seen records about this skeleton more than once in secret documents that were only accessible to the Xuanwu Emperors of successive dynasties.

Furthermore, this skeleton also existed in the seven-hundred-year-long plan to transform the world.

The other party is the strongest in the history of the Demon Kingdom, a great being praised and yearned for by countless demons, who created countless legendary stories, and is also the master of the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum beneath their feet!

Finally, a shocked monster cried out that name:

"The first... Demon Emperor!"

……

Chapter 0347

"Xia...Xia Donghai..."

After an unknown amount of time, Chi Yanli finally uttered a blank sentence: "Xia Donghai... what exactly did you do in there?"
