Chapter 559: Chapter 558: Taigu Ancient Tomb

CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

A horrific sound of chewing echoed.

The Resentful Spirit King could only watch as its Soul Power was devoured by one Heart Demon after another, which swarmed and submerged it in the blink of an eye.

As they fed, one of the thousand Heart Demons—a Nine Yin Heart Demon—was the first to evolve, transforming into a Profound Yin Celestial Demon.

The power of a Profound Yin Celestial Demon was no less than that of a peak Condensing Vein Realm Martial Artist.

With the appearance of this Profound Yin Celestial Demon, the nibbling turned into a ravenous feast.

Amidst horrifying screams, the Resentful Spirit King was devoured completely.

Having consumed the last of the Resentful Spirit King’s power, the Profound Yin Celestial Demon turned its greedy gaze upon the other Heart Demons. Like a dark cloud sweeping away the last remnants of a storm, it descended upon them. The other Heart Demons were terrified and tried to flee, but they could not escape its tyrannical consumption. In less than three breaths, they were all devoured.

Qin Feng watched this scene with cold eyes. ’This is the nature of a Demon: to grow stronger by devouring its own kind.’

The Profound Yin Celestial Demon finally transformed into a tangible, pitch-black cocoon.

A moment later, the black cocoon silently broke open. A formless, gentle breeze drifted out, and in the next instant, a young man who looked identical to Qin Feng appeared before him.

The young man lowered his head and paid his respects. "Demon Ancestor!"

Qin Feng nodded. The Profound Yin Celestial Demon had devoured the Resentful Spirit King and fully evolved into a Formless Celestial Demon.

This Formless Celestial Demon before him could be considered his Clone!

This Heart Demon Avatar was refined using the Resentful Spirit King as its foundation, making it a relatively independent type of Clone.

It could freely devour the power of the seven emotions and six desires to continue its Cultivation and evolve into an even more powerful Formless Celestial Demon, capable of traversing the Void.

It could even eventually rival a Great Freedom Demon Lord, a being comparable to a Great Power.

However, this Heart Demon had already reached its limit at its current Realm.

Unless Qin Feng broke through to the Great Power Realm, it would be impossible for it to advance into a Formless Celestial Demon.

A Heart Demon Avatar’s Realm must always remain below that of its Demon Lord.

"You shall be called Mo Yi," Qin Feng said with a nod. With a flicker of black light, he absorbed it into his body.

With a thought, he dismissed the Heart Demon Black Lotus.

The Illusion Realm completely shattered, revealing the red maple leaves of the outside world.

As the Illusion Realm collapsed, the Void distorted, and a hidden small garden appeared before Qin Feng. Beneath a few red maple trees, an ancient tomb came into view.

Qin Feng was certain this ancient tomb hadn’t been there before.

The ancient tomb drew Qin Feng’s attention. Several ancient words, written in Ancient Texts, appeared on the tombstone, carrying a hint of the aura of the old Barbaric Wilderness.

These Ancient Texts were exceedingly obscure; the average person wouldn’t recognize them.

But Qin Feng had read countless old records and had even dabbled in the scripts of the Sea Race from the Ancient Era, so he recognized them at a glance.

As his eyes swept over the line of Ancient Texts, his expression shifted slightly, and he muttered to himself, ’Tomb of the First Dragon King of Pingjiang Lake... The Resentful Spirit King from before called itself the Dragon King of Pingjiang Lake. I’ve heard of Pingjiang Lake. It seems to be the largest lake in the Northern Spirit Realm, much larger than Cloud Lake. Could this be the resting place of the ancestor of all the Dragon Offspring of Pingjiang Lake?’

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up.

After a moment of contemplation, his gaze fell upon the mausoleum. With a wave of his great sleeve, a flash of sword light slashed out, instantly splitting the structure in two.

After enduring the erosion of time, the protective measures left behind by the first Dragon King of Pingjiang Lake had all decayed.

A faint light flickered from the tomb.

The last of the power guarding the tomb could not withstand a single sword strike!

BOOM!

A massive fissure was split open in the great tomb. An incredibly dense aura of death poured out, and tangible resentment, howling like ghosts and wailing like gods, rushed toward Qin Feng.

"Fire of Hope!"

Waves of unbelievably pure flame rolled past, instantly incinerating all the deathly aura in their path with their vast, bright fire.

Inside the tomb, a lifelike Dragon Bone appeared before Qin Feng. His eyes twitched, but just then, a breeze blew past, and the entire Dragon Bone dissolved into dust and vanished.

The essence of the entire Dragon Bone had long since dissipated with the passage of time.

’What a pity. These are the bones of a Dragon King Level Great Power. If they could be forged into a weapon, it wouldn’t be as good as a Pseudo-True Artifact, but it wouldn’t be far off!’

You don’t know the value of money until you’re the one paying the bills. After establishing the Qin Family of Yunhu City, Qin Feng had learned just how difficult it was to be the head of a household.

Sighing inwardly, he swept his Divine Thought through the tomb and found it empty. Just as he was about to leave, a thought struck him. With a wave of his great sleeve, he unleashed a surge of True Power into the air.

BOOM!

The entire tomb floor exploded, revealing a small Crystal Coffin buried beneath.

Qin Feng’s eyes brightened. Inside the small Crystal Coffin were piles of sparkling, translucent Top Grade Spirit Stones.

Spirit Stones were wondrous objects born from Spirit Veins and were the best Treasures for aiding Cultivation.

Normally, even Lower Grade Spirit Stones were exceedingly rare.

Yet here were piles and piles of Top Grade Spirit Stones.

Qin Feng sucked in a sharp breath as a hint of joy crept into the corners of his eyes.

Besides the pile of Spirit Stones, there were also several bottles and jars containing some extremely rare Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicines.

Clearly, these were things the Dragon King of Pingjiang Lake had prepared for his own revival.

With this pile of Treasures, King Pingjiang would have been able to restore his Cultivation in a very short time after succeeding in his possession.

CRASH!

Qin Feng opened the Crystal Coffin with one hand, but his expression changed in the next moment. Inside the coffin, the Spirit Stones were rapidly petrifying. At the same time, the Elixirs and Spirit Medicines in the seemingly intact bottles and jars were also rapidly weathering, turning into piles of rubble.

A flash of regret flickered in Qin Feng’s eyes.

’A shame. The era is just too ancient. Although this small Crystal Coffin has a special ability to preserve Spiritual Qi, it couldn’t withstand the changes brought by the passage of time! Such a pity!’

He shook his head and glanced at the mausoleum. After carefully searching it again with his Divine Thought, even probing the surrounding Void, he found nothing else. Qin Feng sighed in disappointment.

WHOOSH!

With a wave of his great sleeve, the mausoleum closed once more. He glanced at the small Crystal Coffin. ’For this thing to have survived from the Ancient Era and still look completely intact, it must be an Exotic Treasure.’

He casually tore open a rift into the Chaos Celestial Secret Realm and, with a sweep of his sleeve, stuffed the small Crystal Coffin inside.

He’d scrape the very sky bare—he even took the coffin!

Ever since becoming the head of the family, Qin Feng’s miserly nature had reached a whole new extreme.

After this experience, Qin Feng became even more meticulous in his looting.

The real ancient tombs were all camouflaged by Prohibitions.

Two hours later, Qin Feng had discovered several more tombs of powerful experts, but his gains were meager.

The masters of these tombs were even lesser than that Dragon King of Pingjiang Lake. They hadn’t condensed a resentful spirit, leaving behind only fragmented Obsessions that manifested as illusory figures of their former selves, sitting silently in their tombs.

Qin Feng casually dispersed these Obsessions. Like the Dragon King of Pingjiang Lake, the masters of these tombs had also left behind methods for their resurrection.

But under the Mighty Power of time, they had all failed.

However, upon blasting open the fourth tomb, Qin Feng made an unexpected discovery.

Inside the ancient tomb, Qin Feng found a person. This person was stuck in the tomb’s floor like a planted crop.

It was someone Qin Feng knew quite well!

Yu Hualong!

’How did Yu Hualong end up in this tomb?’
