Inside the Emperor's Road, a catastrophe was unfolding.
The ancient experts who had once explored the core of the barren forbidden ground were awakened and turned into coffin carriers. They dragged the coffin and headed straight for Emperor Mountain. Everywhere they went, living beings were destroyed!
In just three days, hundreds of millions of living beings had died.
After the endless massacre, one-fifth of the coffin's surface had turned blood-red.
Everyone knew that the calamity would only end when the Emperor Burial Coffin turned completely red.
At that moment, some of the ancient orthodoxies who had planned to stop the coffin fell silent and did not move forward.
"What should we do now?"
"Ignore them. Let the coffin continue to absorb energy. Once the coffin absorbs enough energy, it will naturally return to the forbidden ground. We only need to preserve our strength and fight for the throne in the future."
"But what about the others?"
"Living beings are dying. Are we really going to sit back and do nothing?"
"It's not like we killed them. It doesn't matter."
After looking through countless ancient books, the emperors all knew that the Emperor Burying Coffin had appeared mainly to collect the energy of living beings.
Once they had collected enough energy, they would return to the depths of the forbidden ground.
At that thought, most of the rulers made a decision almost instantly. Instead of stopping the coffin or going head-on against it, it was better to preserve their strength and avoid going head-on against the coffin.
As for how many living beings would die because of their inaction, that was not within the scope of their consideration.
After living for so many years, the rulers were already indifferent to life and death. Or rather, they were indifferent to the life and death of others apart from themselves.
To them, as long as they did not endanger themselves or harm the interests of their clans, it did not matter to them how many others died.
The inaction of the ancient orthodoxies was witnessed by countless people and cultivators. They all felt sorrowful.
In the eyes of those at the top, they were no different from ants.
At that moment, riots broke out all over the Emperor's Road.
One should know that the ancient orthodoxies were able to develop to this day because of the help of some small and medium-sized orthodoxies and the people.
Putting everything else aside, the number of Spiritual Sources that the ancient orthodoxies' subsidiary forces handed over every year was not a small number.
Yet now, at the critical moment, they'd been abandoned and could be abandoned at will. How could they not be furious?
The condemnation of the various ancient sects came wave after wave like tidewater, and it caused the reputation of the various sects to be in a terrible state.
But even then, the various sects still turned a blind eye to it, and it was even to the extent that they dispatched forces to suppress some of the riots!
"What orthodoxy? It's all bullshit. Now that the calamity has arrived, all of them are acting like cowards."
"What a joke, what a joke. You used to strut around in front of us, but now you don't even dare to fart."
"God! Didn't you say we were your people? Why are you turning a blind eye to the plight of your people? God, is this your so-called mercy, your so-called love for people as your own children?! "
On the Emperor's Road, the cultivators and commoners of the various places complained.
But there was nothing he could do.
In front of the power of the ancient orthodoxies, they were too weak.
In the face of the calamity, they were even more powerless.
As the calamity continued, the ancient orthodoxies made a new move, but it wasn't to save the living beings.
They were sending their Heaven's Prides deep into the barren forbidden ground!
They were going deep into the forbidden ground to search for fortunes!
The restrictive spells deep inside the forbidden ground had disappeared, and the ancient powerhouses had awakened and turned into coffin carriers. There must be many fortunes hidden deep inside the forbidden ground, and these Heaven's Prides were heading for them.
As countless living beings were in danger, the ancient orthodoxies weren't thinking about saving the commoners, or the forces that were affiliated with them …
Instead, they were choosing to search for fortunes while the Emperor Burying Coffin was not around!
This infuriated countless people.
"Screw your bullsh * t Sword Tribe. I and the others have contributed so much to the Sword Tribe, yet you're turning a blind eye to it. Instead of sending people to save people, you're going to search for fortunes? Screw you!"
"Oh God of Light, have you really abandoned us?"
"F * ck, f * ck …"
Inside a city.
Countless living beings were fleeing for their lives.
The cultivators in the city received the news that the coffin dragging team was approaching. It wouldn't be long before they arrived.
However, the Emperor Burying Coffin was faster than they had expected.
Soon, everyone sensed that there was an extremely strange aura approaching them from afar.
Over a hundred ancient powerhouses had chains around their necks and were dragging the Emperor Burying Coffin toward the city like dogs.
Soon, they arrived above the city. Without saying too much, over a hundred ancient experts took action together, attacking the city.
Cries of agony lingered in the air. The huge city instantly turned into a living hell. Countless living beings turned into blood-colored energy and were absorbed by the Emperor Burying Coffin.
Over a hundred ancient powerhouses, even the weakest one was a Martial Dominator who had cultivated a few wisps of Emperor Qi. When they attacked at the same time, no one could stop them inside the Martial Monarch's Path. In just a few breaths' time, the city had turned into a land of death.
After absorbing another city's energy, the Emperor Burying Coffin's surface turned blood-colored again. It had now covered a third of the coffin.
Not far away, there were Emperors who witnessed this scene.
"That's terrifying."
A Martial Dominator blurted out in fear.
"Yeah, the Emperor Burying Coffin is indeed an ominous object from the Ancient Era or even the Immemorial Era. It can drive so many ancient powerhouses to sacrifice living beings for it."
A Martial Dominator looked at the Emperor Burying Coffin in the distance with curiosity in his eyes. "I wonder who is buried in the coffin. What's the purpose of it absorbing so many living beings' energy?"
"Is it going to come back to life?"
No one knew why the Emperor Burying Coffin was sacrificing countless living beings. No one knew who was buried in it either.
But since it was called the Emperor Burying Coffin, it was at least a Martial Monarch.
"This is related to the Ancient Era or even the Immemorial Era. Only Martial Monarchs might know about it. It's not something we can know."
The Martial Dominators shook their heads.
There were some secrets that they were not qualified to know.
"Wait, did you guys notice that the Emperor Burying Coffin seems to be going in the wrong direction? It seems to be going to the Emperor Mountain!"
A Martial Dominator suddenly said with a frown.
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.
The Emperor Mountain was where the Emperor Burying Coffin was.
Where is the Emperor Burying Coffin going? What's its purpose?!
"I hope it won't affect the Martial Monarch Realm."
"Pfft, it doesn't matter if it affects it or not. Isn't the Martial Monarch Realm candidate already decided?"
A Martial Dominator from the Sword Race sneered.
Everyone knew who he was talking about. They didn't know how to refute him.
With that person around, none of their geniuses had any hope of becoming Martial Monarchs.
"Speaking of which, the Emperor Burying Coffin has caused such a huge commotion. Why hasn't that person appeared? What is he doing?"
"Maybe he's found a place to hide. Although he's strong, I'm afraid he can't do anything against the Emperor Burying Coffin."
Everyone went silent and continued to watch the Emperor Burying Coffin.
