On top of the Mysterious Plateau.
A presence drifted from the underground...
Huang’s gaze was fixed unyieldingly on the crack on the plateau, sensing that sothing lay buried beneath it.
At this mont, the ten strange ancestors were all stunned in place.
They simultaneously recalled a long-sealed mory...
Many epochs ago, this plateau already existed.
Back then, they were rely considered cultivators with decent power, journeying together to train on this plateau.
Later, they ventured into the depths of the plateau.
Ultimately, at the deepest part of the plateau, they beheld a huge black coffin lying silently atop it.
They had co to this plateau originally to train and seek treasure, so they set their sights on this enormous black coffin, certain it contained so opportunity or treasure.
With this mindset, the ten of them worked together, planning to open the black coffin.
Just as they opened a corner of the coffin.
Pitch-black blood flowed out from the coffin, spilling onto the plateau’s ground.
In an instant, the whole plateau began to mutate.
The ten, realizing sothing was amiss, desperately ran outwards, but ultimately they couldn’t outrun the speed of the mutation.
In the end, all ten of them were corrupted by the black blood, as was the entire plateau.
Though corrupted, this also caused the ten of them to transform!
Their power surged uncontrollably, as if without limits, and in just a few breaths, the ten broke through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm!
Afterward, they ca to accept this mutation, and this plateau beca their stronghold, a place to reside.
Later, they slowly used the plateau to corrupt other worlds, expanding their domain and influence, ruling over many worlds. A small sacrifice every epoch, a great sacrifice every few epochs, to strengthen their own power.
Subsequently, the ten of them also broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, becoming the ten strange Immortal Emperors.
Eventually, they weren’t satisfied with the Immortal Emperor Realm and sought to ascend beyond it. After sacrificing countless worlds and epochs, they succeeded in breaking through beyond the Immortal Emperor Realm, which was... the Sacrificial Dao!
They beca the ten strange ancestors, the source of all things bizarre.
However, they also had a drawback, which was that only when on the plateau could they maintain their Sacrificial Dao power. Once they left, their power would continually diminish.
The ten of them set an even larger goal, to break through to a realm beyond the Sacrificial Dao.
Would breaking through beyond the Sacrificial Dao allow them to permanently escape the Mysterious Plateau, or perhaps to refine the plateau and rid themselves of its constraints?
In truth, in their hearts, there was one more speculation.
What exactly was in the Black Coffin?
Why did a pool of blood alone corrupt the entire plateau and elevate them to such a high realm?
....
So, at this mont, when Huang cleaved the plateau with a sword, they were unsettled, fixating on that reviving presence beneath the plateau....
The next second, the space of the entire Mysterious Plateau, and even ti itself, froze.
The plateau ceased its decline.
The black Spiritual Qi constantly seeping out began to converge towards the crack frenziedly.
The Spiritual Power within the ten strange ancestors was forcibly extracted and drawn towards the plateau’s crack.
Soon, the Cultivation Realm of the ten strange ancestors began to plumt.
They instantly fell from the Sacrificial Dao to the Immortal Emperor, continuing to drop, finally to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
Because Huang held the Stone Jar, creating a personal void from influence, yet the formidable aura emanating from the crack still bore down heavily upon him, causing him difficulty breathing.
Could it be.... is the true source of the mystery beneath the plateau??
....
Soon, the entire plateau began to shake continuously.
It seed sothing was about to erge from the crack....
Huang activated his Cultivation Technique, eyes fixed on the crack as the oppressive presence grew ever more palpable.
The next second, a huge pitch-black coffin rose slowly from the crack.
Upon seeing this coffin, the ten ancestors’ eyes widened, and they froze in place, minds going blank.
Because back then, they distinctly saw the black blood within the coffin dissipate after erging.
Afterward, they expended a great deal of effort searching for the coffin’s whereabouts, scouring many epochs without finding a trace.
It turned out... the coffin had neither vanished nor fled, it lay buried beneath the ground of the Mysterious Plateau all along.
Despite being on the plateau constantly, the Black Coffin was underground, yet they never sensed it.
There was only one possibility, the existence within the Black Coffin far exceeded their perceptive ability.
Or.....
In other words,
At this mont, a terrifying suspicion surfaced in their minds.
Could it be possible, while they made countless worlds their sacrifices, this coffin was also using them as sacrifices?!
Because, the imnse power they received, to beco the ten strange ancestors, all stemd from that black coffin.
And now, with the black coffin reappearing, much of their power was reclaid, causing them to fall from the Sacrificial Dao to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, confirming this point
!
In truth, the ten of them, who believed themselves the greatest source of the bizarre, were simply deluding themselves.
The true source of the mystery had always been the existence within the black coffin.
To put it nicely, they were indeed re puppets, and to put it bluntly, they were nothing but sacrifices!
...
Standing above the River of Ti, Chu Feng was stunned too upon witnessing the black coffin’s ergence.
It seems, the Tiger Whale senior wasn’t wrong, neither was I; the ten strange ancestors were but puppets, not the source of the mystery.
The true source of the mystery was the black coffin buried beneath the Mysterious Plateau!
Seeing the black coffin erge, the Tiger Whale was slightly startled, then comnted with interest, "Alright, now your real boss to fight has appeared."
Hearing the Tiger Whale senior’s lighthearted and slightly teasing tone, Chu Feng was alard.
By the Tiger Whale senior’s tone, it seed even the entity within the black coffin wasn’t a concern?
Then what kind of power level does he have??
"Tiger Whale senior, what should we do?!" Chu Feng was anxious too.
"What do you an what to do?"
"Don’t panic, just keep watching."
Hearing the Tiger Whale senior, with no intention to intervene, Chu Feng was sweating profusely with worry, feeling lost.
