Chapter 347 The Truth of Everything

"This is the pool of water condensed from the 'Devil Qi of the Abyss'!"

The Coleman family has lived near the "Eye of Hell" for generations, and they are very familiar with the breath of evil spirit.

The Great Shaman of Mafa could tell at a glance that the black pool of water was filled with extremely dense demonic energy from the abyss.

The situation here is extremely similar to that of the "Eye of Hell" in the Forest of Ashes, but there was a gusher of thick gas, while here there was a pool of water that had turned into liquid.

Looking at the coffin locked with rune chains on the pond, everyone in Black Dragon City had a solemn expression on their faces.

Originally, everything was normal in the tomb of the [Black Emperor].

Whether it was the skills or potion sequences on the seventy-two statues, they all looked like burial objects. They looked like they were the "treasures" left by the great sages of the Monk civilization for their descendants who survived in the Ice Ridge Wasteland.

But this coffin alone gives people a very... weird feeling.

Normally speaking, since this is the tomb of the [Black Emperor] Moises, the coffin here should be that of the emperor of the Monk civilization.

Moreover, according to the mural that Ryan and his companions had seen in the Frost Temple before, this coffin should have been carried back directly from the battlefield of the "last battle" that year.

But, if he is the emperor, why is he locked up with rune chains?

…

Everyone looked at the coffin from afar and did not dare to approach.

At this time, Master Kavo carefully studied the runes on the chain and said, "The runes on this chain are very high-level sealing runes... The energy source of the rune chain is the 'devil energy of the abyss' in this pool. The devil energy will never cease, and this seal will remain forever."

seal?

Everyone listened and frowned.

Could it be that there is some kind of living creature in this coffin?

Or is it a horrible undead monster after the corpse transforms?

Obviously, this arrangement is done because the person does not want the "things" in the coffin to come out.

Ryan looked at him with a frown.

He didn't understand magic, but the "Seal Series" magic runes all had similarities, and the high-level runes must have the shadow of the primary runes. Although the runes on this rune chain were frighteningly complex, after a systematic comparison, he came to the same answer as Master Kavo.

As Master Kavo said, the purpose of these rune chains is to seal the coffin.

At this time, Bazel also said: "I think... we'd better not touch the coffin. It makes me feel very uncomfortable..."

Werewolves have an innate ability to sense crisis.

He looked at the coffin and sniffed it, as if he smelled a disgust from the bottom of his soul, as if he had encountered a vampire.

Everyone nodded.

Obviously, no one intended to pay attention to the coffin before figuring out the situation.

Since the gods of the Monk civilization treat it so seriously, the thing in the coffin must be very evil.

Kanosa also nodded and said, "This mausoleum contains the complete 'Seventy-two Generals Sequence' of magic potions and exclusive inheritance, which is the greatest treasure. With these things, our Black Dragon City will surely be able to reproduce the glory of the Monk civilization in the future..."

"Um."

Everyone nodded, and everyone thought so.

No matter what treasure is in the coffin, even if it is a divine artifact, what does it matter?

For them in the Ice Ridge Wasteland, the artifacts were limited to the fifth-order laws and were not very useful.

On the contrary, these complete extraordinary inheritances are truly priceless treasures when they see the light of day again.

However, at this time, the assassin who was responsible for investigating the ban of the agency found some clues.

"Lord City Lord, some ancient texts have been discovered here!"

Hearing this, Ryan and his group walked over and found another stone tablet under the throne of the black emperor sculpture.

When Ryan saw the ancient Monk characters on the stone tablet clearly, he suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Finally, the many secrets of the Ice Ridge Wasteland were revealed to everyone.

…

The carving on the stele reads:

[Descendants of my 'Black Demon Clan', you have come here, and you have probably touched the limit of the fifth level of transcendence. You must be wondering how the fifth level of transcendence can be the end of transcendence? Of course, your feeling is right. Because this world has been imprisoned by me with the high-level divine laws...]

Judging from the tone of the text on the stone tablet, it sounds like the Black Emperor himself was speaking.

As expected, this world was artificially sealed at the threshold of the fifth level of transcendence.

Ryan was not surprised when he saw the content of this short text.

[Does the pervasive black fog bother you? Descendants of my clan, this is the root of our clan. The black fog makes our bodies stronger...]

[I once traveled and adventured in the Great World, and found the dragon egg on a dragon island. It was a rare ancient dragon with pure blood. The dragon family has a long lifespan, and it will guard this mausoleum for many years to come. Of course, it is also a small test...]

[The laws of this world will be restricted to the fifth level of transcendence. If you can defeat the ancient black dragon and enter the mausoleum, it means that you are qualified to understand the truth of the "Hundred Races War" that year...]

[You can see here, those foreigners should not have discovered the 'Land of Mist' yet. Or... you have defeated some enemies who do not belong to this land. Oh, if you don't know 'Beyond the Mist' yet, then I will tell you about this world first...]

【……】

As Ryan read the following content, his expression became more and more solemn.

The extraterritorial thieves who were interrogated before only knew the low-level information they could access.

According to the Black Emperor, this world is truly terrifyingly large.

Even for the legendary "god-level powerful ones", it is full of unknowns and dangers.

The endless "blue sea", the "Agakos Pillar Mountain" where the ancient gods are said to live, the "Sinful Abyss" that is said to lead to hell, and the infinitely tall "World God Tree"...

This world seems to have no end and is infinitely vast.

Although Stone Tablet 3 did not describe in detail what the world was like in the eyes of the Black Emperor, Ryan saw a vast and mysterious world just through these few words.

[Descendants of my clan, you must be very curious, where does this black fog come from? It is called 'Devil Qi of the Abyss'. This is the biggest secret of our clan...]

[Deep in the land where you are standing, there is a corpse of an ancient demon god! The demonic energy of the abyss is the smell of decay from the corpse. As for what rank of god the corpse belongs to... I don't know, but it is definitely higher than the 'superior god'... It should be a super powerful god from the ancient mythological period...]

Seeing this, Ryan felt like he had discovered a new world and found it extremely wonderful.

It turns out that there is a corpse of an ancient god underground, and the evil energy of the abyss is just the gas emitted by the corpse?

This is the source of the black fog!

He suddenly thought of the strange device that produced black fog that he had found in the goblin ruins before, and suddenly he understood that what was in the biogas generator might be a part of the god's corpse?

Maybe a finger or a hair?

Moreover, it also explains why there is such high-quality "Divine Blood Mine" near the goblin ruins.

Perhaps in the mythological period long, long ago, a powerful god fell on this land, his blood soaked the earth, and his body was buried deep underground by the years.

Ryan thought of the black fog covering the Ice Ridge Wasteland, and suddenly his expression became strange.

How big is the body of that ancient demon god?

How powerful was he in the past, that even the "corpse qi" emitted by his corpse could nourish the creatures on this land for so many years?

However, there were some contents that Ryan did not quite understand, such as the term "Superior God".

It sounds like there are also levels of superiority and inferiority among gods?

…

Ryan didn't bother with the words that he couldn't understand for the time being and continued reading.

[We call this ancient mythical god underground the 'Great Black Devil'. And because we live in this land shrouded in demonic energy, we are also called the 'Black Devil Clan' by foreigners...]

[My 'Black Demon Clan', who have the 'Demon Qi of the Abyss' to nourish their bodies, will definitely not be inferior to anyone in terms of combat power under the restrictions of the same level of laws...]

[So, after reading this, you should understand why I set up such a law prophet for this world. As you guessed, it is naturally to leave some fire for my clan...]

The High Priest of Mafa looked at it and translated the words on the stone tablet.

Everyone listened carefully, not wanting to miss a single word.

Although I already know that there are enemies outside the domain who covet this land, when I look at the contents recorded on the stone tablet, I inexplicably feel the pressure on my shoulders.

You can imagine how powerful the enemy must be, as it could force the emperor of the Monkel civilization, who created the legend of the "Seventy-two Generals", the powerful [Black Emperor] Moises, to leave his "spark".

[The source of the law and restriction of this world comes from the demonic energy in the abyss underground. It will protect this land for hundreds of thousands of years in the future. Unless the enemy's godhood is higher than that of the underground 'Great Black Devil', no one can break this restriction...]

[Of course, I also used some tricks to hide the location of this land. I also left you a 'secret passage' to get out... If you want to break through to a higher level of transcendence, you must leave here. I hope that when you leave, you will have some self-protection power.]

[If you can advance to the fifth level of transcendence under the black fog, or even reach the level of comprehending the 'Crystallization of Divine Power', then congratulations! After you leave this world, you will find a surprise that this world has given you...]

【……】

Ryan and the others had probably guessed the content of this section before.

The Coleman people, who breathe the "demon energy of the abyss" all year round, are at least half a major level stronger than the extraordinary people of the same level in the Ice Ridge Wasteland in terms of physical strength and combat effectiveness.

Even the ordinary transcendents in the Ice Ridge Wasteland are at least half a major level stronger than those outside the domain...

Ultimately, it’s actually because of this black fog.

Irubek had already achieved some research results before, confirming that long-term breathing of black mist would change certain "genes" and make the body stronger.

Of course, that was a very long process.

…

Then, I finally saw the "War of a Hundred Races" and the contents of the coffin.

[There are all kinds of magical races and countries in the big world... If you want to survive, there is only one way, that is to 'become stronger'. 】

[Unfortunately, when our Monkel Empire was not strong enough, the enemy could no longer hold back. They united and wanted to completely wipe us out...]

What follows are the causes of some major wars.

The general meaning is that the enemy couldn't bear to see the "Monker Empire" become stronger, so they sent troops to conquer it.

The Black Emperor also united some allies to resist, which led to the earth-shaking "War of a Hundred Races" tens of thousands of years ago.

Of course, the Black Emperor's side was defeated.

[Inside the coffin is the leader of the enemy alliance, the high god Lavinia of the Three-Eyed Tribe. When you realize how important a complete god corpse is, you will understand why I left it here...]

[As for the rest, I have left some secrets in the tomb. When you have enough strength, come again and all the mysteries will be revealed.]

[Descendants of our clan, be careful of that despicable guy, Roxas. He is a traitor to our clan and caused the defeat of our alliance in a key battle...]

【……】

After reading the contents on the stone tablet, everyone in Black Dragon City showed a look of enlightenment on their faces.

It turns out that the truth of everything is like this.

There was a long silence, and everyone fell into deep thought.

But... there was more of a gleam of brilliance in everyone's eyes.

Like Ryan, they were full of expectations for the "big world" described by the Black Emperor.

Danger?

No, there is no danger there.

After all, those who can come to the tomb are the top extraordinary people in the Ice Ridge Wasteland.

For those who have already touched the extraordinary ceiling of this world, the world outside is even more tempting.

Canossa: "It's really getting more and more interesting..."

Basel: "Hehe, the world outside the domain is so exciting. I really can't wait to go and see it..."

Kavo: "It seems that even my old bones have a chance to break through to the sixth level of transcendence and live a few more years..."

Marfa: "So our Monk'er clan actually has this kind of origin..."

Guy: “…”

…

After reading the text on the stone tablet, everyone had no intention of moving the coffin.

What was written on it was that they would probably have to wait until they knew what the "divine corpse" was actually used for before they would be qualified to pay attention to the coffin.

At this moment, Ryan suddenly heard something and his expression changed slightly.

Canossa, who was standing by, keenly noticed the sudden change in Ryan's expression and asked, "That's what happened?"

Ryan frowned and said, "Um...did you hear any sound?"

"What's that sound?"

In this place, everyone looked bewildered.

Then, Ryan realized that he was the only one who heard the voice.

He looked up at the statue of the Black Emperor Moises, and said with a complicated look: "A voice told me to go to the throne, saying that there are treasures left there..."

Obviously, Ryan himself is a doctor, and he is definitely not "hallucinating".

That means he did hear these words just now.

Hearing this, Master Kavo analyzed: "What you heard should be 'spiritual communication'."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "And we didn't hear it, which means that you triggered a certain restriction due to certain specific conditions, and I said this to you."

"Specific conditions?"

Ryan frowned as he listened.

If we talk about the difference between him and the people around him, then... the biggest difference is.

Everyone is above level five, and he is the only one who is at level four.

Obviously, this should not be the trigger condition.

Canossa: "Maybe it's because of the amount of fighting spirit?"

Mafa: "It may also be because of the understanding of the law..."

Kavo: "It probably has something to do with the body. Mr. Ryan's extraordinary foundation is far inferior to mine when I was at the fourth level..."

Bazel: "Is it because you are the most handsome boy?"

…

The statue of the Black Emperor is on the throne, and there are several dozen meters of stairs leading up to it.

Originally, everyone had respect for this "senior" and had no intention of going up like this.
