Chapter 605 The King of Men, the King among Men, who built this place?
Redra said in a deep voice, "The owner of this tomb was probably stronger than an ordinary heaven in life."
Under the Heavenly Dao, there are several Heavens, each with varying strengths, but even the weakest Heaven is stronger than a Heavenly Rank.
The old man guarding the tomb stepped forward, walking step by step toward the tombstone.
His steps were much slower than before, and his cloudy gaze fell on the monument.
The surface of the stele is mottled, and the characters are equally ancient, but they are more vigorous and powerful than the previous inscriptions on the Azure Sky Stele.
The moment he saw the handwriting clearly, his aged body trembled violently, and he nearly dropped his cane. He took a step back, his voice trembling:
"This is... the tomb of the King of Men."
"What? This is the tomb of the King of Men?"
"What Tomb of the King of Men? Who is the King of Men?"
When the old tomb keeper revealed the tomb of the King of Men, the group instantly became polarized.
Veteran powerhouses with long and rich experience, such as Tu Mie and Kong Ji Ancient Buddha, instantly changed their expressions, their bodies trembled, and their eyes were filled with awe and shock etched into their being. They murmured to themselves:
"It's actually the Human King... that supreme powerhouse of all ages, who is now resting here."
The young people, including Xiao Yu and Chen Bei, all looked bewildered, having never heard of this name before. They exchanged glances, filled with doubt and confusion.
"The King of Men? What King of Men?"
Although they didn't know the specifics, they knew that this King of Men was incredibly powerful. The King of Men, the king among men, could not be an ordinary person if he dared to use such a title.
Dugu Xiaoyue said softly, "A legend from the primordial era, and also the first heaven-defying powerhouse of the primordial era, known as an unparalleled existence on par with the heavens."
She had heard her father mention him a few times, and her father also respected and admired this legendary figure from the previous era.
If the ancient era belonged to his father, Dugu Potian, and the Demon Ancestor.
That primordial era belonged to the Human King. Although there were peerless figures like the Ancestor of the Stars in the same era, they were still a little inferior to the Human King.
Tu Mie said in a deep voice, "I never expected that this lord would perish here. It is said that when the Heavenly Dao destroyed the world, the Human King single-handedly held off the Chaos King and the Azure Heaven, covering the evacuation of all living beings, and died from exhaustion."
The old tomb keeper calmed his emotions, gazed at the majestic tomb of the Human King, and slowly began to solemnly introduce the origins of the Human King Wangu:
"The Human King, born before the Primordial Era, was the first being in the world to reach the Heaven-Defying Realm, except for the Heavenly Emperor."
Excluding the Heavenly Emperor, what are everyone's opinions? Because the Heavenly Emperor is not an ordinary being in the mortal world; he is of the same level as the Heavenly Dao.
This can only be discussed from an outside perspective.
The old man guarding the tomb continued, "The Human King is the only post-natal being in all of eternity who can sit on equal footing with the heavens. She is not bound by the laws and rituals of the heavens and holds the banner of the primordial world in one hand. In the past, she single-handedly resisted many forces under the command of the heavens. In that great battle in the primordial era, the Human King held off the enemy alone and resisted the combined attack of all the heavens."
As each word was spoken, all the newly promoted powerhouses in the audience were stunned, their hearts filled with a tremendous surge of emotions.
Pizi Long swallowed hard: "Sit on equal footing with the heavens? How strong would that be?"
Xiao Yu was shocked and secretly alarmed: "No wonder the Human King's Tomb can suppress so many Heavenly Tombs. It turns out that the tomb's owner was an unparalleled king who was above the heavens."
After the initial shock, Chen Bei's doubts resurfaced. He looked at the old man guarding the tomb and asked directly:
"Senior, I have a question. The Human King is a human, and the heavens are under the command of the Heavenly Dao. The two are inherently enemies. Why is the Human King's tomb built together with the Tomb of the Azure Heaven, the Tomb of the Netherworld, and other heavenly tombs, sharing this Burial Valley?"
This question hit the nail on the head for everyone. They looked at each other in bewilderment. Indeed, the Human King and Heaven should be enemies. How could the tombs of enemies be buried in the same place?
"That's right. Since we are enemies, our graves would not normally be built next to each other."
"That makes sense. If the Heavenly Dao were to build a Heavenly Tomb, it would never build a giant tomb for its mortal enemy, let alone place it in the center of the Heavenly Tomb."
"So this wasn't built by the Heavenly Dao? But by us? Then who could it be?"
Xiao Yu said in a low voice, "Could it be... that someone deliberately placed the Heavenly Tomb and the Human King's Tomb together? This is too illogical."
Everyone felt there was a great secret here, but after discussing it for a while, no one could solve the mystery. So the group simply scattered and explored the area around the entire tomb complex, deducing the terrain and patterns, and looking for hidden secrets.
Chen Bei and Xiao Yu, along with their two dragons, explored the edge of the tomb complex together, going deeper and deeper.
The darkness there was deeper than anywhere else, and a chilling wind howled, carrying a chill that went straight to the bone.
Just as Chen Bei and his companion, along with the two dragons, were walking slowly forward, click.
A crisp, ethereal clanging sound suddenly rang out in the deathly silence and eerie wind, sounding particularly jarring!
The rogue dragon's scales instantly bristled, and its massive body leaped backward, shrinking behind the baby dragon. Its eyes widened, and its voice trembled slightly: "Who, who's in the shadows? Show yourself!"
Long Baobao, Chen Bei, and Xiao Yu were all speechless at Pizi Long's cowardly behavior.
This guy is all grown up, a five-clawed dragon, yet he's so cowardly. It's shameful, no, it's shameful for a dragon.
Baby Dragon complained, "You rogue dragon, you're such a coward. I'm not afraid of anything, even though I'm an underage dragon. What are you afraid of?"
"That's right, don't say you know us from now on, it's too embarrassing for you." Chen Bei and the other person nodded in agreement.
The rogue dragon noticed everyone's laughter and became instantly enraged. He stiffened his neck, trying to appear calm, and swung his long tail, growling:
"What are you laughing at? This place is chillingly quiet, with a ghostly wind blowing. Anyone would be scared if a strange noise suddenly broke out. This is called being cautious, not cowardly!"
"hehe."
Chen Bei ignored it. He looked down and saw a crystal skull lying quietly on the ground, its empty eye sockets staring at the sky, as if it had been lying there for eternity.
The surface of the crystal skull shimmered with iridescent light, and a faint spiritual light flickered within.
Chen Bei squatted down, reached out and picked up the crystal skull. It was cold to the touch, but there was an indescribable warmth coming from inside.
He examined it closely: "This thing... seems unusual."
Xiao Yu leaned closer, glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly: "The aura remaining on this skull... is very ancient and very powerful. It may be related to this tomb complex."
Pizi Long suppressed his fear, peered inside, and said in a solemn tone, "The texture is incredibly hard, far surpassing the bones of a Heavenly Rank cultivator. Moreover, this thing has remained intact for countless ages, so its origins must be extremely significant."
Just then, at the very moment Chen Bei gripped the crystal skull!
hum!
Within Chen Bei's dantian, the long-dormant world of gods and demons, evolved from the seeds of the ancient world, suddenly trembled, and the core Yin-Yang Bitter Sea within the world instantly surged with towering black and white waves!
A rainbow of colors shot up from the surface of the Bitter Sea, echoing the rainbow light emanating from the crystal skull in Chen Bei's hand.
Two beams of spiritual light from the same source connected remotely, linking the energies of heaven and earth, and their resonant sound permeated the meridians of Chenbei's body!
The sudden interaction startled Chen Bei, causing him to freeze in place.
Xiao Yu immediately noticed the commotion and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Rogue Dragon instantly became alert: "Is there something wrong with this skull? Is it backfiring on you?"
