The surrounding walls were engraved with vivid and lifelike murals, the exquisite craftsmanship making the figures on the stone walls seem to come alive. Jun Wu Xie used the firelight to look at the contents on the stone walls. The entire wall was covered in murals from top to bottom. Rather than saying they were murals, it would be better to say they were records of certain things.
On the mural before Jun Wu Xie, was carved a man wearing a mask. The mask on the man's face was extraordinarily magnificent. He stood at the peak of the crowd, his hands clasped behind his back, facing a ferocious gigantic beast. The gigantic beast was entrenched in the water, its tentacles flailing, looking like it would leap out from the mural at any moment.
"This is the Dark Emperor." Jun Wu Xie said as she stared at the man wearing the mask. From the position he was standing at, and the way he was surrounded by the crowd, the identity of the man was obvious.
Within the Dark Emperor's tomb, she could not think of anything else that would depict other people.
And that ferocious gigantic beast, was not unfamiliar to Jun Wu Xie. It was the gigantic "octopus" they had encountered in the lake on their way here.
This mural should be showing the process of the Dark Emperor subduing the "octopus". Along the entire wall of murals, every single one of them seemed to be depicting a story. If she was not wrong, the statues on the murals should be singing the praises of the Dark Emperor's glorious life.
But what Jun Wu Xie saw was neither the beginning nor the end.
Within the murals, the mysterious man wearing the mask should be the Dark Emperor without a doubt. In every mural, he always stood above everyone else. It was not known whether the people from the Dark Regions had purposely beautified the image, but the Dark Emperor in the murals seemed to be omnipotent.
Subduing monsters, defeating the enemy, suppressing the Middle Realm.
It was just a few murals, but every single one of them showed just how powerful the Dark Emperor was, an almost invincible existence.
"This is the Dark Emperor? Why is he wearing a mask? " The little black cat said nonchalantly as it swished its tail, a little puzzled. When Qiao Chu and the others had mentioned the Dark Emperor before, they had not mentioned anything about the Dark Emperor wearing a mask.
"Could it be that he's too ugly?" The little black cat thought wickedly.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head. She walked over to one of the murals and looked at the intricate mask on the Dark Emperor's face.
"The pattern on this mask is very special. I've seen it before. Do you remember the Rune Incantation I studied before? Among them, there are some that I still do not understand the meaning of. What is engraved on this mask, are the runes that I do not understand. "Jun Wu Xie's hand gently brushed over the runes hidden within the totem.
She did not think that a man so powerful that he could make the entire Middle Realm submit to him would wear a mask just because of his looks. The mask looked more like it had been carved onto it by the craftsmen from the Dark Regions after the Dark Emperor's death.
With the power of the Evil Emperor and his status in the Evil Region, the people in the Evil Region would not dare to depict the Evil Emperor's appearance and voice. This mask was the only way they could carve it, and because they did not dare to blaspheme it, they added on the mask, and the runes on the mask most likely had a special meaning.
Jun Wu Xie followed the mural as she looked at it. If the things depicted in the mural were all true, then the person who had once ruled over the Middle Realm must have been far more powerful than they knew.
The light from the fire was dim and the murals were all over the walls. Jun Wu Xie walked along the corridor, looking for a way out, taking in all the murals one by one.
