Chapter 476: Undying Immortal Monarch

Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Undying Immortal Monarch

In the following days, Ji Chen remained hidden within Shuofeng City, unnoticed by anyone.

Moreover, during these days, Shuofeng City became even more bustling.

In the Nine Provinces of the Immortal Realm, countless powerhouse forces and family experts arrived one after another, all coming for the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb.

"Have you heard? The Immortal Monarch’s Tomb has been discovered, with numerous secret treasures inside that are tempting, but it’s said outside the tomb, there are many Immortal Puppets guarding the Immortal Bone, attacking anyone who tries to enter the tomb chamber."

"Recently, more and more experts have descended upon Shuofeng City because of this event. It’s said that various noble families and the people of the Ancient Immortal Sect plan to unite and attack the Immortal Tomb to extract the hidden treasures inside!"

"Is that true? No wonder so many Immortal Venerable-level experts have arrived recently!"

"The commotion is so large; how could it be false? Moreover, I’ve heard that every Immortal Sect even called upon their Ancient Immortal Weapons, which are treasures that wouldn’t be used lightly unless the sect faces extinction. It shows how great an uproar the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb has caused."

Many people were discussing this matter, and Shuofeng City was already overcrowded, with more people forced to camp on the outskirts of the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range.

During this time, top forces like the Turquoise Pool and Purple Mansion attempted several times to delve deeper into the tomb chamber.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Puppets were very hard to deal with. It’s said that several attempts resulted in losses from various sides, with over a dozen Immortal Realm powerhouses dying.

Thus, major forces mobilized their troops and summoned Immortal Venerable-level figures to join forces and carried Immortal Weapons into the tomb chamber.

"What exactly lies deep in that tomb chamber? The Undying Immortal Monarch’s Daoist Lineage? Or the weapons he used in life? What could drive top forces to madness, wanting desperately to break in?"

"Why think only the Daoist Lineage and Immortal Weapons? It could be there’s actually an Immortal Monarch’s corpse in there!"

"Impossible, beings of the Immortal Monarch’s level should transform into Dao after death, supposedly reincarnating with their bodies, leaving no bones behind." Some rejected this idea.

But the specifics remained unclear, probably only top major sects like the Turquoise Pool and Purple Mansion knew what truly lay deep inside that tomb chamber.

During this period, Ji Chen still hadn’t left, instead lingering within the city, keenly curious about the eventual outcome.

In today’s Shuofeng City, though countless cultivators gathered, most were merely here to watch the excitement.

Apparently, they came from less notable backgrounds and lacked strength, unwilling to risk venturing into the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range, a place where even Immortal Venerable-level powerhouses might fall.

Three more days passed.

It’s said experts from top forces like Turquoise Pool and Purple Mansion started to unite, entering the tomb chamber together with some Immortal Weapons.

"Terrifying, those Immortal Puppets can’t be killed. It’s said during this attempt at attacking the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb, top forces lost numerous strong experts, with at least five Immortal Venerable-level figures falling!"

That afternoon, news reached Shuofeng City.

Clearly, even with forces united, attacking the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb caused significant casualties, without the tomb chamber being conquered; reportedly, they only managed to reach a third of the chamber before losing most troops, forcing them to retreat.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a violent tremor originated from deep within the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range.

This shaking reverberated into Shuofeng City, startling countless cultivators who had no idea what had happened.

"Swish!"

Half an hour later, many could see large groups of figures flying in from outside the city, fleeing in panic.

"What’s happening?"

"Aren’t those Purple Mansion people?"

"And Turquoise Pool experts, what’s going on? Weren’t they attacking the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb?"

In the city, everyone was discussing, clueless about what occurred to frighten those forces’ experts into retreating entirely back into Shuofeng City.

"Hurry up and leave!"

"The Immortal Monarch’s Tomb is terrifying, with countless Immortal Puppets emerging, bones piled like mountains, headed towards Shuofeng City!"

Comments like these quickly spread, shocking everyone in the city.

"Buzz!"

Soon, golden light soared around this ancient city, the City Defense Array was activated.

"Swish!"

In the distance, void space was covered by large groups of dark shadows, coming thickly, like an impending storm, dimming the heavens.

"What’s that?"

Countless people trembled in fear, gazing afar.

When the shadow got close, they finally saw more clearly—countless skeletons, holding Ancient Swords or Long Sabers, orderly arranged, like thousands of well-trained soldiers arriving above this void.

"Immortal Puppets!"

"They’ve chased us here!"

Everyone’s expression changed, showing extreme panic.

These Immortal Puppets’ speed exceeded expectations; a rough estimate showed at least over one hundred thousand of them.

No wonder even combined forces of Purple Mansion, Turquoise Pool, and the Ancient Immortal Sect couldn’t breach the tomb’s depths, furthermore, angering the tomb’s Immortal Puppets, chasing them here!

"Buzz!"

Amid everyone’s shock, a world-devastating divine light surged down from the sky, cleaving through the heavens from ancient times, causing the world to lose its color.

"Boom!"

The divine light fell, striking Shuofeng City’s City Defense Array directly, destroying the array.

"Poof!"

Countless cultivators caught in this terrifying energy coughed blood, heavily injured, and some who failed to retreat into the city were directly disintegrated into ashes.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Above the high air, innumerable Immortal Puppets moved, but instead of attacking Shuofeng City.

They split into two rows, as if clearing a path for something.

"Buzz!"

A world-shaking ripple spread from the distant void.

In the setting sun, everyone’s eyes were fixed, and in the distant sky, a figure appeared.

A man dressed in purple, with his hands behind his back, walking upon the void, with each step, Dao Patterns emerged beneath his feet, like a Monarch descending from the heavens, commanding the heavens.

"Undying... Immortal Monarch!"

In Shuofeng City, an elderly man with white hair and beard trembled as he spoke, shocking everyone around.
