Asura Mad Emperor

Several hours later, a waft of ethereal spiritual energy rose from the vast and towering depths of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, hazy and holy. Suddenly, the entrance burst into ten thousand strands of golden dawn light, accompanied by an immense rumble that shook heaven and earth.

The many martial artists who had been engaged in their own discussions were startled by this phenomenon, feeling as if an ancient deity had awakened from slumber, opening its eyes in the chaos, and shooting out streaks of golden lightning.

In an instant, the ground shook, thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down as if the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, massive as a hill, was about to surge from the depths of the earth, threatening to submerge all the martial artists.

"The Spirit Martial Great Tomb is about to open! The spiritual treasure that has been nurtured within the secret realm for a million years is about to appear in the world today!"

Everyone's eyes gleamed with excitement as they stared intently at the narrow entrance of the tomb. There stood a colossal bronze gate at the entrance, carved with countless mysterious runes. The runes shimmered with golden light, holy and majestic.

Never before had the opening of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb been accompanied by such extraordinary phenomena, as though heralding the end of the world.

Clearly, everyone believed that this was due to the emergence of the spiritual treasure within the secret realm.

After a surge of gloomy evil qi emerged from the entrance of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, accompanied by booming noises, the bronze gate gradually rose.

In that moment, the pathway abruptly opened.

"The tomb has opened; everyone, hurry in! The spiritual treasure is right before our eyes; it's our chance to seize a great opportunity."

It was unknown who shouted out loud.

Immediately, chaos ensued in front of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb as everyone rushed toward the narrow entrance.

Huang San and the others who had arrived first were closest to the entrance, so they were the first to fly into the entrance of the tomb. After a flash of brilliance, their figures disappeared.

Ghost Hundred Miles and You Cangshui were not willing to be left behind. Perhaps because the opening of the tomb had dissipated the suppressing aura, the two burst forth with a powerful qi at that moment, leaped into the air, and stepped over the heads of the crowd to enter the tomb smoothly.

Since martial artist of the Spirit Martial Realm had not yet reached the realm of Voidwalking, the two naturally stepped over the heads of the gathered martial artists, provoking a flurry of curses from those below.

In the distance, a dense throng of spirit beasts, already prepared, could no longer hold back. They thundered toward the crowd and along with them, shot toward the entrance of the secret realm.

Fearing that entering the secret realm late would mean missing out on the spiritual treasure.

"Young master, when shall we enter?" Ding Hao asked, his eyes filled with an unusual light, as he watched the frenzied crowd and spirit beasts at the entrance of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb.

"There's no need to rush. Men die for wealth, as birds die for food. Those flooding in are merely rushing to their deaths," Qin Chuan responded nonchalantly.

At this time, Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er also stood poised in their spots, not rushing to enter first.

Xian Ling'er, with skin as smooth and radiant as jade, stood not far from Qin Chuan, hearing his words loud and clear. With a graceful smile, she seemed to outshine all others, "What a poignant saying, 'Men die for wealth, as birds die for food.' Young Master Qin, are you not here for the spiritual treasure?"

"I am here for the spiritual treasure, yet I am not here for the spiritual treasure," Qin Chuan replied, seemingly answering, yet not.

Instead of continuing with her question, Qin Chuan shifted the conversation, staring intently at Xian Ling'er with an indifferent tone, "However, the Fox Clan cannot refine magical treasures. Even if there are spiritual treasures in this Spirit Martial Great Tomb, they would be of no use to you. Why then do you bother stirring into these troubled waters?"

Words spoken without intent, heard with deep significance. Qin Chuan's statement struck like a thunderbolt in the minds of Xian Ling'er and Ji Huo'er, lingering long and ultimately unveiling the secrets buried deep within their hearts.

After a short moment, Ji Huo'er blinked her lively eyes and nudged the fairy-like Xian Ling'er beside her, whispering, "Sister, it seems that this boy has seen through our origins."

Ji Huo'er's eyes were black and vibrant, free from any impurity, twinkling like the stars in the sky, pure and delicate. However, as she turned her eyes and spoke softly, "Our identities are the great secret of the Sect. How can we let outsiders know? Maybe we should silence him!"

As she spoke, Ji Huo'er made a throat-cutting gesture, boldly conspiring right in front of Qin.

Qin could tell that Ji Huo'er meant no harm and was merely jesting, so he smiled indifferently and said.

"Silence me, with just the two of you? Is it by using the Thousand Foxes Spiritual Technique or the Soul Devouring Technique?"

Once Qin said this, Xian Ling'er and Ji Huo'er were finally shocked.

Xian Ling'er, an unmatched beauty, untainted by a speck of dust, and usually tranquil, now had an unusual flush on her cheeks as she looked at him wide-eyed and asked in disbelief, "You… how do you know?"

She and Ji Huo'er were from the Fox Clan. Although that was a significant secret, outsiders could still probe it through certain methods and Magical Treasures. Qin was able to withstand the pressure of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, so seeing through their origins was not surprising.

But the Thousand Foxes Spiritual Technique and the Soul Devouring Technique he mentioned were the Fox Clan's closely guarded secret techniques from Thousand Fox Mountain. Since these two techniques posed a severe threat to soul-strong Martial Artists, their disclosure could put many such practitioners on alert and could even attract covetous eyes.

Therefore, inside Thousand Fox Mountain, only a select few disciples and elders knew about these two secret techniques.

How could the two not be shocked when Qin openly mentioned the names of the two secret techniques?

"No need to look so surprised and puzzled. Not only am I aware that both of you have cultivated these two secret techniques, but I also know that you have mastered them to the point where you can absorb the souls of Martial Artists of the same realm to strengthen yourselves."

"Young Master Qin…"

"Who exactly are you?"

Xian Ling'er and Ji Huo'er were again greatly startled and became fully alert, like two little birds spooked, as everything Qin said was spot on.

"Who I am is not important. You only need to know that I mean no harm to either of you. Otherwise, I would have revealed your identities amidst the crowd earlier and would not have waited until now."

Xian Ling'er paused for a moment, and finally accepted what Qin had said.

What they naturally did not know was that the former Emperor Realm ancestor from Thousand Fox Mountain used to be one of Qin's top ten battle pets. Regarding the intricacies of Thousand Fox Mountain, his knowledge was crystal clear and even more detailed than theirs.

As the three of them conversed, the crowd in front of Spirit Martial Great Tomb finally thinned out. At this point, only a few figures of modest strength and Spirit Beasts stood at the entrance, hesitating about whether or not to enter the secret realm.

They had been drawn by the attraction of the treasures in the tomb, but upon arrival, they realized that the Martial Artists lured by the Spiritual Treasures were far beyond their expectations.

With their meager skills, it was difficult for them to find opportunities within the great tomb.

"Let's go. The Spirit Martial Great Tomb is fraught with danger at every turn. Since you two are disciples of Thousand Fox Mountain, you best follow me. I may be able to save your lives in a critical moment. Otherwise, you're on your own."

Having said that, Qin's figure moved, and with a whoosh, he passed through the bronze gate and plunged into the corridor.

The Martial Artists and Spirit Beasts lingering at the entrance, upon seeing Qin with the fifth layer of Spirit Martial Realm cultivation daringly enter, no longer hesitated and their figures flashed as they followed suit.

Xian Ling'er and Ji Huo'er looked at each other, unsure what to do for a moment.

After a long while, Xian Ling'er, biting her silver teeth, said resentfully, "Let's go, we'll follow him for now and see how things unfold!"
