Ling Fan put away the ancient book and quickly shot into the entrance.
When movement came from behind.
When those Xuan Emperors arrived.
Ling Fan had already taken the lead into the Tomb of the Demon Sealing.
The entrance had also disappeared.
Boom!
A fourth-tier Xuan Emperor struck the Tomb of the Demon Sealing with a single blow.
However, the vast, boundless mountain body remained unmoved.
Not even a speck of dust fell, let alone the mountain being broken open to enter the Tomb of the Demon Sealing.
"Damn it! Still a step too late!"
"Ahhh, I'm so angry!"
"This place buries two super powerhouses at the half-step Heavenly Emperor level. Even a tiny bit of what's left behind would be a treasure for us! To have the treasure mountain right before our eyes, yet be unable to enter, how frustrating!"
"This brat is too cunning, suddenly increasing his speed and catching us off guard."
"Let's guard here. I don't believe this brat can hide inside forever!"
"I swear, I will make this brat pay, ah!"
A group of fourth-tier Xuan Emperors were so frustrated they felt like spitting blood, scratching their heads and glaring with eyes spitting fire.
Liu Zhong, however, let out a long sigh of relief.
...
At this moment.
Inside the Tomb of the Demon Sealing.
Everywhere were chaotic vortexes formed by demonic energy.
Even a half-step Xuan Emperor stepping into it, if not careful, would be ground into powder by these chaotic and violent forces.
But this level of demonic energy could not make any waves in front of Ling Fan.
Not only could it not harm his Nirvana Emperor Body, but it was all absorbed.
He saw the Heavenly Demon Eye imprints appear in his eyes, turning into two terrifying vortexes that sucked in all the demonic energy.
Ling Fan flew forward, absorbing this demonic energy that contained powerful demonic origins.
"As expected of a tomb formed by a half-step Heavenly Demon Emperor, even my Heavenly Demon Eyes are slowly improving. If I have enough time to absorb all the demonic energy in this tomb, my Heavenly Demon Eyes might even advance a level."
Not long after Ling Fan entered the Tomb of the Demon Sealing.
In the core of the tomb ahead.
Dozens of powerful figures shrouded in rolling demonic energy were arranged in a strange circle.
The aura of fourth-tier Xuan Emperors alone numbered no less than seven.
Seven fourth-tier Xuan Demon Emperors!
And what was terrifying about these was.
These powerhouses all had a circle of eyeballs growing on their foreheads.
Most had three eyeballs.
Those fourth-tier Demon Emperors had four eyeballs.
The Nine-Eyed Emperor Demon Race!
"Someone has entered the Tomb of the Demon Sealing..."
Suddenly, one of the Demon Emperors, whose aura was incredibly strong, faintly reaching the peak of the fourth-tier Xuan Emperor, raised his head and looked back in the direction of Ling Fan.
"Impossible. Without being of our Nine-Eyed Emperor Demon Race, and without the key to the Tomb of the Demon Sealing, even a fifth-tier or sixth-tier Xuan Emperor would not be able to force their way in!"
Another fourth-tier Xuan Demon Emperor said.
"My senses are not wrong. My fifth eye is almost grown. Although it is not yet formed, my sensing ability has been greatly enhanced. It is very restless now, as if sensing some danger."
The peak fourth-tier Xuan Demon Emperor spoke.
In the center of his brow.
Another bulge of flesh had formed.
The other four eyeballs were symmetrically distributed on the sides.
"Since you say so, I will send someone to check now."
"I'll go! This is a critical moment, we cannot afford any complications. If I send someone else, I won't be at ease." A fourth-tier Xuan Demon Emperor with a blank expression stood up, quickly transforming into a streak of demonic light, almost merging into the demonic energy and disappearing.
"Then let Has go. He is a fourth-tier Demon Emperor and can handle any danger. We will hasten the summoning of Lord Hasen's soul, so that Lord Hasen can return to freedom."
The powerful peak fourth-tier Demon Emperor said.
...
In the seemingly endless demonic energy.
Ling Fan was flying and absorbing demonic energy.
Suddenly.
His expression shifted.
He actually sensed a powerful fourth-tier Xuan Emperor rapidly approaching.
And.
This fourth-tier Xuan Emperor was also a Demon Emperor.
Ling Fan's eyes darted around.
He thought of many things.
"Since entering the Forbidden Demon Domain, I haven't encountered any accomplices of that Demon Eye Sect assassin. Could they have entered the Tomb of the Demon Sealing ahead of me..."
"It seems they can also control a part of the Tomb of the Demon Sealing, without relying on this ancient book to enter this place."
Ling Fan's eyes darted again.
Suddenly, a plan formed in his mind.
He could impersonate Tian Heng.
Then why couldn't he impersonate that assassin from the Demon Eye Sect.
It would be perfect to infiltrate the ranks of these Demon Eye Sect powerhouses.
To see what exactly they were up to.
With this thought, Ling Fan gave a sinister smile, and with a change of his form, he transformed into the appearance of that third-tier Yuan Emperor assassin from the Demon Eye Sect. Three eyeballs appeared on his forehead, and a bulge formed on his brow, as if a fourth eye was about to break through the skin and grow.
He possessed the secret techniques of the Heavenly Demon Royal Family, so impersonating the Nine-Eyed Emperor Demon Race was like a dimensional strike, incredibly easy.
"My current identity is the genius assassin Ha Wen of the Demon Eye Sect, haha, my acting talent is quite good."
Ling Fan was very satisfied.
Suddenly.
The demonic energy churned ahead.
A figure descended powerfully.
It was the Demon Eye Sect's fourth-tier Xuan Demon Emperor, Emperor Hass, who had come to investigate the commotion.
"Greetings, Lord Hass. Lord Hass, I finally see you. I... I almost didn't make it back! The mission to assassinate the daughter of Lord Liu Wang City failed, and I was captured by Lord Liu Wang City. The people of Lord Liu Wang City wanted to enter the Tomb of the Demon Sealing through me, and they even sent a half-step Xuan Emperor to guard me. But not long ago, various factions fought fiercely to seize the key to the Tomb of the Demon Sealing, and I took advantage of this chaos to sneak attack and kill the half-step Xuan Emperor guarding me, and then devoured him. My strength is now that of a half-step Xuan Emperor!"
Ling Fan put on an act of having endured countless hardships.
His nose felt a sting.
He was about to shed tears.
"It's Ha Wen! You're still alive..."
Emperor Hass was surprised when he saw Ling Fan.
But he was still somewhat suspicious.
As he reached out to help Ling Fan,
A hidden power surged into Ling Fan's body for probing.
However, after probing around, he found no abnormalities.
The Nine-Eyed Emperor Demon Race power within Ling Fan was very pure, even purer than he expected.
He could be sure.
The person before him was indeed their Demon Eye Sect's genius, Ha Wen.
And there were no restrictions or anything of that sort within him.
It was not as he feared, that Ha Wen was being controlled.
"Good! It's good that you're back. This time, you've turned misfortune into a blessing. Those who don't die will have good fortune later! Come with me quickly to see Lord Hai, you can still make it in time to welcome Lord Hasen's return!"
"Is that true?"
Ling Fan showed an expression of immense excitement.
"Yes, our Nine-Eyed Emperor Demon Race will re-establish itself in the Central Heavenly Realm! Ha Wen, you've returned at the perfect time. Your talent will be valued and trusted by Lord Hasen."
"That's great!"
Ling Fan displayed the eagerness and excitement of a young man.
"Follow me."
