Under everyone's envious gazes, Shen Tian and Zhuge Sima were pulled away by a powerful force.
The two of them only felt their vision light up, and they felt dizzy.
When their vision returned to normal, they had already appeared in a grand ancient hall.
The ancient hall was majestic and magnificent, tens of thousands of feet tall.
It stood between heaven and earth like a primordial divine mountain, majestic and boundless.
A dark golden door stood in front of the ancient hall, emitting a resplendent luster and looking extremely heavy.
There was a bronze plaque hanging above the door, engraved with the words "Dragon Armor Heavenly Palace".
The words were bold and powerful, and they contained an imposing aura!
Zhuge Sima's heart trembled when he saw this.
This ancient hall gave him a feeling that it was too grand. It was more like a world, vast and unfathomable!
Zhuge Sima said excitedly, "This is that supreme expert's dao field?"
From the inheritance of the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter, Zhuge Sima knew how powerful the owner of this place was.
His ancestor had only comprehended a little bit of it, but he had already created the top formation family in the five regions.
To be able to create such a profound cultivation technique, he was definitely an indomitable figure.
...
At that moment, the void surged.
A dense light hole appeared in the sky, and laws lingered as a figure walked out.
This person was the gray-robed elder from before.
His voice was solemn as he said, "Congratulations to the two of you for successfully passing the first test.
This place is Immortal King Dragon Armor's inheritance ground!
As long as you pass the second test, you will be able to obtain Immortal King Dragon Armor's inheritance! "
Zhuge Sima's body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with shock.
So the expert here was an Immortal King. No wonder he was so terrifying.
At the same time, Zhuge Sima couldn't help but feel excited.
The inheritance left behind by Immortal King Dragon Armor was definitely priceless.
Zhuge Sima said respectfully, "Senior, are you Immortal King Dragon Armor?"
The gray-robed elder's aura was unfathomable. He was definitely a top-notch existence.
He slowly shook his head and said, "I'm just a tomb keeper."
Zhuge Sima's body trembled slightly. "Tomb keeper?"
"Senior, could it be..."
The tomb keeper nodded. "That's right, this is Immortal King Dragon Armor's tomb!
"Immortal King Dragon Armor died hundreds of thousands of years ago in the Primordial Era. His remnant soul no longer exists.
"My duty is to find an inheritor for Immortal King Dragon Armor and guard this tomb!"
A trace of sorrow rose in Zhuge Sima's heart.
He had cultivated part of the Dragon Chapters and was full of admiration for the expert who created this technique.
Zhuge Sima's mind was filled with thoughts. He wanted to see the unparalleled splendor of such a supreme formation master.
But who would have thought that the bones of an Immortal King would be buried here, leaving behind only a tomb keeper?
How miserable was this?
…
"Why did Dragon Armor Immortal King die?"
Zhuge Sima didn't understand. Immortal kings had heaven-defying powers.
This type of expert was above True Immortals, able to exist through the ages. How could they die so easily?
The tomb keeper's eyes drooped slightly. "He perished in the extraterrestrial war hundreds of thousands of years ago."
"Immortal King Dragon Armor is at the Desolate Border Battlefield. He has set up the All-Heavens Formation to resist the three Evil Spirit Immortal Kings.
"In the end, the supreme experts of the Evil Spirit race attacked and forcefully destroyed the formation.
"At that time, heaven and earth wailed and the blood sea was overturned!"
"An Immortal King activated 3,000 dao flags and forcefully dragged an Evil Spirit Immortal King down with him."
Only an Evil Spirit from the outer realm could threaten an Immortal King.
It caused a supreme Immortal King to bleed in the void.
When Zhuge Sima and Shen Tian heard this, their bodies trembled violently.
"It's the Evil Spirits from the outer realm again!"
Zhuge Sima gnashed his teeth angrily.
Hearing the tomb keeper's words, it was as if they were witnessing the ancient battle.
Heaven and earth were killed until they were blood-red.
A peerless Immortal King wrapped his corpse in a broken flag, swearing to bury the Evil Spirits even if he had to die.
In the end, an Immortal King was buried in the Desolate Border Battlefield!
How miserable was this? How sorrowful was this? It made one feel dejected.
The mood of the two of them instantly became heavy.
After hundreds of thousands of years, the Evil Spirits from the outer realm had invaded once again.
They didn't know when this battle would end.
And how many people would die in this great calamity?
...
The tomb keeper didn't continue speaking and changed the topic.
"Immortal King Dragon Armor left behind an inheritance when he was alive.
"Although you have passed the first test, if you want to become Immortal King Dragon Armor's inheritor, you still have to pass through this door!"
The tomb keeper waved his hand, and the door of the Dragon Armor Heavenly Palace opened.
In an instant, the fluctuations of laws swirled around, emitting boundless divine might.
He carefully sensed that there was a supreme formation set up in front of him, and its aura was incomparably majestic.
The tomb keeper said, "Back then, there were two talented kids who entered this realm.
Unfortunately, they didn't complete the final test. "
Zhuge Sima's eyes narrowed. He knew that the people the tomb keeper was talking about were his two ancestors.
His two ancestors had comprehended the profundities of the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements Formations, so they could naturally enter this place.
But in the end, they were isolated outside the door.
This was their long-cherished wish, a regret that they had regretted for 10,000 years.
...
Thinking of this, Zhuge Sima muttered, "Let me complete the ancestor's regret!
Brother Shen, I'll give it a try first! "
Zhuge Sima volunteered and walked toward the door.
Endless divine light lingered and completely enveloped him.
Zhuge Sima was stunned on the spot.
His eyes were tightly shut, and his body trembled violently. A ferocious expression appeared on his face.
It was as if he had encountered something terrifying, causing his soul to tremble.
Shen Tian's eyes narrowed slightly. Even with Zhuge Sima's attainments in formations, he seemed to be in such a sorry state.
It seemed like this place was extraordinary.
However, there was no terrifying divine might here, which meant that this formation didn't have any lethality.
It looked more like a formation that tested one's mind.
Shen Tian strolled forward and stepped into the formation.
However, after he entered, there was no reaction at all.
Shen Tian walked out of the formation unimpeded.
This time, Shen Tian was dumbfounded. He didn't understand what was going on.
What's going on?
Why is this formation useless against me?
Could it be that there's a problem with the formation?
The tomb keeper's body trembled as he muttered, "It's actually that kind of physique...
"Did the prophecy really come true?"
The tomb keeper didn't say much. Instead, he stared at Shen Tian with a deep gaze.
...
A moment later, Zhuge Sima finally came to his senses.
His entire body was drenched in sweat, as if he had been dehydrated. His aura was extremely weak.
However, he forcefully dragged his heavy steps out of the formation.
"I... finally did it!"
Zhuge Sima said weakly, but his expression was filled with excitement.
"Big Brother Shen, you've also succeeded!"
Zhuge Sima wasn't surprised. Instead, he was overjoyed.
In his opinion, with Shen Tian's talent, it would be a piece of cake for him to pass through this formation.
The tomb keeper strode over, directly crossing the array formation.
His eyes became even more resplendent as he looked at Zhuge Sima. "Not bad, not bad at all.
"This formation is the Chaotic Heavenly Heart Illusory Formation, an illusion constructed from chaotic aura.
"Here, you will see the fear in your heart.
"If you can't overcome your fear, you will be completely lost in it and might even go berserk.
"Given your age, it's already very good that you can take this step!"
The tomb keeper looked at Zhuge Sima with satisfaction.
Then, he looked at Shen Tian. "You cultivate the Chaotic Tinder Art, so you can ignore chaotic aura.
"Of course, this formation is useless against you!"
Shen Tian was enlightened. No wonder he felt an incomparably familiar aura when he entered.
So that power originated from the chaotic aura.
But at the same time, Shen Tian was secretly alarmed.
How did this person know that he cultivated the Chaotic Tinder Art?
Just based on the fact that he was immune to chaotic aura, he was able to deduce his cultivation technique?
Isn't this a little too terrifying?
...
The tomb keeper said to Zhuge Sima, "Since you passed through the Chaotic Heavenly Heart Illusory Formation, it means that your intelligence is outstanding.
"I'll accept you as my successor on behalf of Immortal King Dragon Armor."
Zhuge Sima's talent wasn't weak, and he could be considered an unparalleled genius.
Throughout the ages, there were only a handful of people who surpassed him in terms of formation talent.
Zhuge Sima's body trembled when he heard that.
His face revealed ecstasy as he said, "Thank you, Senior. I will definitely carry forward the Immortal King's inheritance!"
The tomb keeper nodded slightly. Such a prodigy was not a disgrace to the Immortal King's name.
Then, the tomb keeper continued, "Next, I will impart the Immortal King's inheritance to you!"
Zhuge Sima was puzzled. "Senior, what about Brother Shen?"
Shen Tian's talent far surpassed his. Not only could he quickly pass through the formation, but he had also learned all the inheritances on the stone wall.
This kind of talent was far above Zhuge Sima's.
The tomb keeper actually didn't accept such a supreme genius as his disciple on behalf of Immortal King Dragon Armor?
The tomb keeper smiled. "Of course I want to accept him as my disciple. With his talent, if he were to be placed in the Celestial World, he would be able to stir countless Supremes!
"However, I can't accept him!"
Zhuge Sima was puzzled. "Why?"
The tomb keeper sighed. "He's not the successor of the Immortal King. Even the Immortal King can't bear such great karma."
Their lineage cultivated formation techniques, and they could pry into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and discover some secrets.
The great terror hidden in Shen Tian was far from what Immortal King Dragon Armor could touch.
The tomb keeper said, "Although I can't accept you as my disciple on behalf of Immortal King Dragon Armor, I can still impart the entire Dragon Armor Divine Chapter to you.
"These are the last words of the Immortal King. I've already explained it back then."
After saying that, he pointed with his hand, and two dazzling rays of light shot out.
The two rays of divine light were incomparably resplendent and contained inexplicable profundities. They entered Shen Tian and Zhuge Sima's minds respectively.
Shen Tian felt countless mottled and complicated truths suddenly appear in his mind.
This power was far more profound than the contents on the stone wall.
The Dragon Armor Divine Chapter was the supreme inheritance of Immortal King Dragon Armor.
Not only did it contain the understanding of the Heaven and Earth Formation, but it also recorded the source of all the changes in the formation.
...
Shen Tian immediately comprehended something, and his mind fell into silence.
He was comprehending the supreme technique in his mind, trying to master it.
Soon, Shen Tian's aura erupted, becoming vast and unfathomable.
He discovered that this technique had evolved into a supreme formation diagram in his mind.
This formation diagram was incomparably profound, as if it was as grand and magnificent as heaven and earth.
However, this formation diagram was shrouded in endless mist, making it impossible to pry into it.
But with the support of Shen Tian's Connate Constitution, the mist quickly dissipated.
Not long after, the formation diagram in Shen Tian's mind became incomparably clear.
He suddenly felt a sense of familiarity as he visualized the formation diagram in his mind.
He felt as if he had seen this formation diagram somewhere before.
No, it was more like a miniature of a certain region.
Shen Tian opened his eyes, and a trace of bewilderment flashed across his eyes.
As if seeing through Shen Tian's doubts, the tomb keeper said indifferently, "That's right, the ultimate profundity of the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter is the formation diagram of the Chaotic Star Island domain.
"This Chaotic Star Island domain is actually an array formation set up by Immortal King Dragon Armor.
"Or rather, this is a person's tomb.
"And the Chaotic Star Island domain is an array formation set up by Immortal King Dragon Armor to protect the tomb!"
Shen Tian's body trembled violently. "What?"
He was extremely shocked, and his heart was in turmoil.
Such a huge domain was just a person's tomb?
...
Shen Tian knew that there were countless secrets in the Chaotic Star Island domain.
Each of them was enough to shake the five regions and the Celestial World.
For example, the Yin-Yang Burial God Domain from before. Countless deities were buried inside, and there was also a terrifying power like the Origin Yin-Yang Energy!
There was also the chaos array in the outer region, which was filled with chaotic aura.
These powers did not belong to this world, and they were extremely terrifying.
However, all of these existed in the Chaotic Star Island domain to protect the tomb.
Then, who was the owner of this tomb?
The tomb keeper did not answer. Instead, he looked at Shen Tian and said, "Do you know the origin of the Chaotic Tinder Sutra you cultivate?"
Shen Tian shook his head. He really did not understand this shocking cultivation technique.
The Chaotic Tinder Sutra was passed down to him by the supreme Great Empress.
However, Shen Tian knew nothing about its origins.
The tomb keeper explained slowly, "In the Antiquity Era a million years ago, there were tens of thousands of races.
"Among the countless ferocious beasts, the human race's physique was not strong, and they were almost reduced to food for the powerful ferocious beasts.
"And it was in this era that the first Human Emperor, Sui, was born.
The first Human Emperor, Sui?
Shen Tian looked at the tomb keeper. He felt that he had touched upon some incredible secret.
"The first Human Emperor had the strongest physique in the universe. He could refine all energies to strengthen himself.
"He was a well-deserved Connate Paragon. He looked down on the heroes of the world, and he killed so many races that they trembled in fear.
"It was also under the leadership of the first Human Emperor that the human race was able to rise quickly and become one of the strongest races in the universe.
"However, good times did not last long. At the end of the Antiquity Era, darkness appeared.
"The world barrier of this realm was forcefully opened by someone.
"Countless Evil Spirits from the outer realm rushed into this realm from the world rifts and began to massacre wantonly, wanting to completely occupy this place.
"The first Human Emperor led the ten thousand races to resist and fight to the death with the Evil Spirits from the outer realm.
At this point, the tomb keeper's body froze, and his aura surged.
"This battle has turned the sky dark and the earth dark."
"Even the Celestial World was dyed red. It was a shocking sight.
"Broken limbs were everywhere, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses piled up like mountains.
"Countless races and living beings were annihilated in this battle."
"Even the human race, which was at its peak, suffered heavy losses and almost withered.
"In the end, the first Human Emperor attacked powerfully, fighting one against three and dragging the Evil Spirit Immortal Emperors down with him.
"Moreover, the world barrier was also completely shattered in this battle.
"This temporarily stopped the invasion of the Evil Spirits from the outer realm, allowing this realm to recover its vitality."
The tomb keeper let out a long sigh, feeling extremely emotional.
That battle back then had been too tragic. Countless powerhouses had shed blood, and Paragons had fallen.
Heaven and earth had mourned, and from time to time, a rain of blood would fall, pitying the common people.
This part of the world was almost beaten to the point of collapse, completely destroyed.
Even the remaining humans had suffered great losses, and their strength and foundation were far from what they had been in the beginning.
As a result, the end of the Antiquity Era was also known as the Dark Era.
It was only after hundreds of thousands of years had passed that the living beings of this realm gradually recovered and rose again.
...
Shen Tian was incomparably shocked when he heard these past events.
He had never heard of these things before.
Even the ancient books collected by the major forces of the five regions rarely recorded them.
Only experts like the tomb keeper from hundreds of thousands of years ago knew of these secrets.
The tomb keeper continued, "Before the First Human Emperor died, he left behind the Tinder Sutra.
"This is the First Human Emperor's origin cultivation technique, and it possesses supreme might.
"However, not everyone can cultivate the Tinder Sutra. Only supreme prodigies with the same physique as the First Human Emperor can truly cultivate the Tinder Sutra to the extreme.
"Others can only modify the Tinder Sutra in various directions.
"Although it's called an adaptation, it's actually just a simplification and weakening.
"While the cultivation requirements have been greatly reduced, its power has also been greatly reduced.
"Relying on the series of Godfiend body tempering techniques derived from the Tinder Sutra, the human race is slowly recovering.
"It's a pity that although the Evil Spirits from the outer realm have temporarily retreated, they have left behind evil aura in this realm and have possessed many races.
"As a result, this realm has started to fight again.
"Disputes have arisen once again, and countless races want to seize the position of the supreme of the world.
"Back then, the human race was at its peak, causing many races to covet it.
"Under the influence of the Evil Spirit race, the human race was besieged by thousands of races.
"After this battle, the human race declined and was almost destroyed.
"Fortunately, there were still 36 peerless experts under the First Human Emperor's command who survived.
"However, with their strength, it was impossible for them to contend against the thousands of races.
"In the end, these 36 Immortal Kings used the peerless secret technique, Heaven and Earth.
"They separated a small world and banished it into the endless void as a land of hope.
"Half of the Immortal Kings transformed into the Heavenly Dao and sealed off the connection between the outside world and the five regions, leaving a place for the human race to breathe.
"Half of the Immortal Kings stayed in the Celestial Region and led the remaining humans to the desolate border."
At this point, the tomb keeper couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.
If the First Human Emperor hadn't saved the Celestial Region back then …
The thousands of races would have long been destroyed, and it would have been impossible for them to survive.
In the end, the experts of the thousands of races repaid kindness with enmity and coveted the human race's inheritance, wanting to take it for themselves.
This caused the human race to suffer a calamity that far exceeded the Dark Era, and they were almost completely wiped out.
That matter had long passed, and those people had long been annihilated in the river of time.
Even so, the insiders still couldn't help but feel indignant.
...
The tomb keeper continued, "Back then, more than ten peerless Immortal Kings sacrificed their lives for the five regions to barely protect this realm.
"Among them, the Great Sun Immortal King transformed into the sun, the Great Yin Immortal King transformed into the moon, and the Vast Ocean Immortal King transformed into the endless ocean.
"The Reincarnation Immortal King transformed into the five regions' Samsara, and the Divine Firmament Immortal King transformed into the five regions' Heavenly Tribulation, constructing a complete Heavenly Dao domain.
"The Primordial Immortal King exhausted his life essence to strengthen the five regions' time, causing the flow of time here to far surpass that of the Celestial World.
"As the saying goes, one day in the sky is one year on Earth. This is the Primordial Immortal King's doing.
"It was for the sake of allowing the five regions to produce batches of geniuses as soon as possible and restore the human race's vitality."
...
Upon hearing the tomb keeper's words, Shen Tian only felt depressed and indignant.
The five regions were actually formed by the human race's ancestors sacrificing their lives and transforming their bodies into the Dao.
He was stepping on the bodies of his ancestors!
