When Red Oriole came out of the pocket world, she took out the items and glanced at them. They were about the same as what she and Long Yu had obtained before. They were all pretty good treasures, but they were all broken.
For example, the broken Endless level Fighters and the fragments of the pocket world were the most valuable. The other small things weren't worth much, so they were almost negligible to Long Yu and Red Oriole.
Now wasn't the time to count the spoils of war, so the two of them continued on their way.
Due to the existence of the remnant soul of the young girl Zhi Tao in the Thunderfire Yin Blade, the two of them had a very smooth journey. After imprisoning the wretched old man Wei Yuyan in Red Oriole's small world, the two of them did not see any other cultivators.
After all, no one could keep up with their speed and reach the depths of the Demon Saint's tomb so quickly except for the Great Sovereigns.
Moreover, since everyone entered the tomb from different directions, Long Yu and Red Oriole wouldn't encounter too many Great Sovereigns along the way.
Therefore, Long Yu and Red Oriole's journey was very smooth. However, the closer they got to the depths of the tomb, the fewer treasures floating in the void.
According to Zhi Tao's remnant soul, the closer they got to the depths of the Demon Saint's tomb, the closer they were to the places destroyed by the Star River Explosion. Even Endless level Fighters couldn't survive in the core.
Even if there were, they had gradually drifted in from the periphery of the Demon Saint's tomb over the past thousand years. That was why there were so few of them.
As for the rainbow crystal powder in the center of the tomb, Zhi Tao wasn't worried. Demon Saint Thunderfire's corpse was placed together with the rainbow crystal powder, which was surrounded by the strongest material in the world, Blackdomain Divine Stone.
Blackdomain Divine Stone was so strong that even the Star River Explosion couldn't destroy it. From this point of view, even if Long Yu and Red Oriole obtained the coffin made of Blackdomain Divine Stone, it would be very difficult for them to get the rainbow crystal powder out.
Of course, Red Oriole and Long Yu believed Zhi Tao when she said she had a way. There was no benefit in lying to them.
After a full three days.
Long Yu and Red Oriole were getting closer and closer to the depths of the Demon Saint's tomb. The others were probably still relatively far away, at least three to five days away from the center of the tomb. Even the Great Sovereigns were no exception.
If Long Yu and Red Oriole were to rely on their own strength, it would take them at least five days to arrive. Therefore, one could imagine that other Sovereign Realm experts would need at least three to five days to arrive.
On the other hand, Long Yu was rather glad that he had the remnant soul of the young girl Zhi Tao. Not only did this young girl miraculously survive until now, she was also kind-hearted. This made Long Yu think of the Death Envoy from before.
The Envoy of Death had also relied on a wisp of his remnant soul to exist for countless years. Zhang Xuan had no idea what kind of means this was. If there was a chance, he would have to ask about it …
The two arrived at the center of the Demon Saint's tomb. This was the real Demon Saint's tomb. Outside of this place, there were only ordinary voids affected by the Star River Explosion. There were no buildings or anything like that.
What appeared in front of Long Yu and Red Oriole was an incomparably magnificent palace. Purple lightning and white flames formed the base of the entire palace. It was extremely imposing.
This palace was made up of a vast complex of buildings. Long Yu and Red Oriole directly stepped into it. Upon arriving here, the Lightning-Fire Secret Technique that Long Yu had cultivated previously came in handy.
Because in this vast building complex, there would be many Lightning Fire Traps. If someone who did not know the truth came here, they would definitely fall into the ambush of the Lightning Fire Traps. It was very likely that they would be heavily injured or even killed.
Fortunately, they had Zhi Tao's guidance, so the two shouldn't encounter too much trouble as they advanced.
Long Yu was ready to use the Lightning Fire Secret Technique at any time. Soon, they encountered the first lightning fire trap near the gap between two buildings.
"Here, use the Lightning Fire Secret Technique to condense divine runes of any attribute. As long as you use the Lightning Fire Secret Technique, you can temporarily suppress this trap and prevent it from exploding."
Following Zhi Tao's words, Long Yu began to use the third stage of the Lightning Fire Secret Technique to condense the power of the Nine Nether Divine Runes. Then, he covered the place Zhi Tao pointed to. Soon, he felt that some kind of power was suppressed, which made Long Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright."
Zhi Tao said.
Long Yu nodded. Then, Red Oriole took the lead and smoothly passed through the gap between the buildings, reaching the depths of the Demon Saint's tomb.
Since the buildings in the void did not have many directions, these buildings all had doors in six directions. Once inside, they would enter a square-shaped hall. There should have been a lot of good things stored in it. Unfortunately, after the destruction of the Star River Burst and thousands of years of experience, the things in these small buildings had all been destroyed. Even these buildings were riddled with holes and looked extremely dilapidated.
Each of these buildings was made of very hard materials and reinforced with many first-class divine rune crystals. However, they could not withstand a single blow from the Star River Burst and were directly destroyed. The power of the Star River Burst was indeed a huge disaster for the cultivation world.
Long Yu and Red Oriole kept temporarily suppressing the Lightning Fire traps. Then, they constantly passed through the buildings and got closer to the center of the Demon Saint's tomb.
During this period of time, Long Yu began to trust the young girl Zhi Tao more and more, because it was Zhi Tao who pointed out the location of the lightning and fire mechanism, as well as instructed them to suppress it, allowing them to safely pass through and smoothly reach the largest palace.
This hall was engraved with patterns of purple lightning and white flames. It was the symbol of the Lightning Fire Demons. The entire hall was more than ten times larger than the other small halls around it!
This was the center of the entire Demon Saint's tomb. It was also where Demon Sage Lightning Fire's corpse was buried!
When they arrived at the central hall of the tomb, Zhi Tao, who had been rather talkative along the way, became somewhat silent. It was as though she had recalled the past matters regarding Demon Sage Lightning Fire.
Red Oriole was a woman after all. She was somewhat sentimental. She could not help but say to Zhi Tao, "Why don't you tell us about you and your grandfather, Demon Sage Lightning Fire? I'm not very sure about what happened a thousand years ago. I only heard that Demon Sage Lightning Fire was a hero and role model for us demons … "
"Okay …"
Zhi Tao agreed. In fact, she was still immersed in reminiscing about the past. In such a tomb was her grandfather, who had died a thousand years ago, Demon Sage Lightning Fire.
In fact, if it wasn't for the Galaxy Burst, Zhi Tao would probably be a powerful expert of the Lightning Fire Demons. She would definitely be an existence at the Great Ruler realm. In fact, she might even be an important figure in the entire demon race.
But now, only a remnant soul remained. It barely survived in the Lightning Fire Yin Saber.
The two girls began chatting. As for Long Yu, he wasn't interested in Demon Sage Lightning Fire's past. He began searching around the largest hall and constantly used Lightning Fire Mystic Arts to suppress the Lightning Fire traps.
After continuously suppressing the Lightning Fire Mechanism along the way, Long Yu had gained some experience in finding the Lightning Fire Mechanism. Now that he was trying to find the Lightning Fire Mechanism based on his own experience, he was able to find it.
The key difficulty was that the Lightning Fire traps in the largest hall were connected together. He had to first find all the Lightning Fire traps in a group and quickly suppress them in a short period of time. Otherwise, they wouldn't be effective. If a cultivator passed by, the Lightning Fire traps in the group would immediately erupt.
This kind of chain mechanism was not rare in the Demon Saint tomb. To Long Yu, it could be considered as a big test.
Red Oriole didn't cultivate the Lightning Fire Mystic Arts anyway, and she couldn't help Long Yu. She could chat with Zhi Tao if she wanted to. It wouldn't affect anything.
In the surroundings of the largest palace hall, there were a total of ten groups of Lightning Fire Traps. Each group had five to twenty Lightning Fire Traps, and Long Yu had a hard time searching for them. Fortunately, he had the relevant experience, and coupled with his cautious personality, he was able to slowly eliminate these ten groups of Lightning Fire Traps.
If he used the Lightning Fire Mystic Arts to deal with the Lightning Fire traps, he could only temporarily suppress them. They wouldn't erupt for four hours. Therefore, Long Yu had to be fast. If he couldn't deal with all the Lightning Fire traps in four hours, the first suppressed Lightning Fire trap would activate again!
Therefore, if Long Yu wasn't fast enough, he would never be able to enter the largest hall.
Thankfully, Long Yu was very adept at suppressing the Lightning Fire traps along the way. Now, even though he was facing dozens of hidden Lightning Fire traps, he was still very fast. In less than four hours, Long Yu suppressed all the Lightning Fire traps around the hall!
"Red Oriole, I'm done. Let's go in."
Long Yu called out to Red Oriole and then took the lead to fly into the tomb hall. Of course, he first summoned a Nine Nether Hunter to fly in front of him, in case he encountered any accidents that caught him off guard.
On the other side, Red Oriole and the young girl Zhi Tao did not continue chatting. However, in just four hours, the two girls had become much more familiar and intimate with each other than before.
Red Oriole collected her thoughts and followed Long Yu. Then, they stepped into the largest hall together.
The entire palace was extremely spacious. Half of the palace was purple lightning, and the other half was white flames. In the middle of this blue and white palace, a pure black stone coffin floated.
That black stone coffin must have been refined from Black Domain Divine Stone. It was rumored to be the hardest material in the world. Even the Galactic Current could not destroy it!
Long Yu noticed that the walls of the palace were covered in cracks due to the impact of the galactic currents. Some of the walls were so dilapidated that one could even see the outside of the walls. Some of the walls were pierced through and looked extremely dilapidated.
