Ye Ling and his companions followed Zhan ngqi's gaze, only to see that the tomb was a full thirty feet high, suspended high in midair. Inside the tomb, a chilly wind blew fiercely, causing the dust on the tombstones to rustle.
Inset at the top of the tomb were nurous Luminous Pearls, illuminating the tomb as brightly as day.
"This tomb..."
Ye Ling's brows furrowed tightly as he observed the enormous tomb before him. Carved on it were five large characters: Tomb of the Dragon Phoenix Emperor!
The style of the characters was identical to those Ye Ling had seen on other tombs, all of them carved in golden letters, looking majestic and imposing, radiating an air of grandeur.
"Could it be, could this Dragon Phoenix Emperor be the treasure we've been searching for?" Zhan ngqi's eyes suddenly widened, a splendid brilliance shining within them.
The rest of the group, too, wore faces filled with surprise and ecstasy.
At that mont, as if responding to so sensation, Ye Ling slowly began to move forward, the golden dragon's phantom slowly coiling behind him, its dragon's roar echoing in all directions.
The Body of the Sacred Dragon!
Spiritual Energy within Ye Ling began to surge uncontrollably, enveloping the entire tomb in an instant, and it was then that a light screen slowly erged in front of everyone.
There appeared projections of a man and a woman, slowly taking shape and sitting opposite each other.
The man held a long saber, his bearing valiant, while the woman was clad in a black gauze dress, her figure graceful and her beauty beyond compare.
"Could these two people be the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor?"
At the sight of the male and female projections, Zhan ngqi couldn't help but cry out in amazent.
Hearing this, Ye Ling was slightly startled as well, observing the appearances of the two closely and nodding in agreent.
With a slight smile, the Dragon Phoenix Emperor spoke, "Descendants, I am the Dragon Emperor, and she is my wife, the Phoenix Emperor."
Zhan ngqi blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at the phantom before her, then turned to glance at Ye Ling, a puzzled gleam in her eyes.
"Predecessors, are, are you still alive?"
Zhan ngqi found swallowing difficult, her question stamring out of her mouth.
It was an unbelievable question, one she dared not believe.
Ye Ling was also montarily taken aback by the question, feeling equally surprised and perplexed; for so reason, he felt that the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor before him were not real people, but were made up of projections.
"No, we have long been dead for many years. What you see now are the projections we left behind," the Dragon Emperor said calmly.
A hint of doubt crossed Ye Ling's face, "Predecessor, you must have left these projections for a reason, sothing you wish to tell us, right? Additionally, what exactly happened back then?"
Ye Ling was well aware that there must be so important ssage the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor had intended to convey through these projections.
Upon hearing Ye Ling's question, both the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor's expressions darkened slightly.
After a brief mont, the Dragon Emperor sighed, "You are wise indeed. Yes, the reason the Phoenix Emperor and I left these projections was to give you a warning!"
"Back when Phoenix Emperor and I broke through to the Saint King Realm, staying on the Azure Planet was simply too loneso, so I decided to venture into the starry skies, which is when I unfortunately ca upon a star called Disaster Star."
"There, stars were innurable, and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures were scattered everywhere—a true cultivation paradise. However, it was also fraught with danger, as that planet was ho to many fierce beasts."
"Both of us being at the realm of Saint Kings, we had virtually no opponents on that planet. But as ti passed, a person known as the Demon Lord appeared."
"That guy's power was very strange. His cultivation seed to have reached the pinnacle of the Saint King Realm. Back then, the Demon Lord, leading his Demon Palace, made life on Disaster Star unbearable, with countless dead and injured."
Hearing what the Dragon Emperor said, Ye Ling took a deep breath.
Through Bai Yuxuan, he could understand just how formidable the masters of Disaster Star were; he hadn't thought the Demon Lord would be so powerful.
"Later, Phoenix Emperor and I couldn't withstand the forces of Disaster Star and, begging desperately, agreed to help them and engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Lord!"
"I fought with all my might and nearly killed the Demon Lord, but he escaped. I have a premonition that he will co back."
"I, too, was gravely injured at the ti and on the brink of death. Yet, who could have predicted that the powers of Disaster Star would kick while I was down and attack !"
At this point, a look of anger erged on the Dragon Emperor's face.
Ye Ling nodded. He could understand this point; after all, the powerhouses of Disaster Star hated them deeply, so how could they easily let them live?
"I was ambushed by the people of Disaster Star and returned to the Azure Planet, mortally wounded, but with ti running short, I refused to die like this. So, on the verge of death, I left behind this Tomb of the Dragon and Phoenix Emperors."
"I also knew that those guys from Disaster Star would definitely not give up on searching for the coordinates of Azure Planet. If they discovered them, a catastrophe would befall Azure Planet!"
Scratching his head, Ye Ling said with an awkward smile, "Just recently, soone nad Bai Yuxuan from Disaster Star ca to Azure Planet to pillage and plunder. Fortunately, we discovered him in ti, and a tragedy was averted."
The Dragon Emperor took a deep sigh and stared straight at Ye Ling, "It seems that after all this ti, the coordinates of Azure Planet have still been discovered by them."
"Soon, a blood-stained storm will arise."
Ye Ling nodded. He could also guess that the powerhouses of Disaster Star would not rest until they attacked Azure Planet once more.
Moreover, Disaster Star's attack this ti would be extrely fierce.
Furthermore, the masters of Disaster Star might even attempt to kill all of Azure Planet's strong warriors!
If that were to happen, Azure Planet would fall into a disaster of annihilation, and the entire civilization of Azure Planet would be destroyed overnight—this was exactly what Ye Ling feared.
"Elders, you must have left behind this barrier with so solution in mind, right?" Ye Ling hastily asked. He knew that if Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Emperor could give them a thod, they would definitely be able to stop the invasion of those crazed individuals.
The Dragon Emperor smiled slightly and pointed to Phoenix Emperor beside him, "Let my wife tell you."
Phoenix Emperor, who had been silent up to this point, looked at Ye Ling and said word for word, "Successor, you are the key to saving Azure Planet!"
"You possess the body of a Holy Dragon, and only you have the potential to restore peace and serenity to Azure Planet, or possibly, to bring about its complete destruction."
After listening, Ye Ling's brow furrowed deeply. Phoenix Emperor's words were simple, yet every one of them carried a profound implication.
