Deep inside the Myriad Beasts Tomb.

The area was always filled with thick death-gas. As darkness covered the entire land, there seemed to be no signs of life.

Swoosh!

The sound of rushing wind suddenly broke out in the dead silence and many shadows darted across the sky. They tore the death-gas apart in the twinkle of an eye, then went deep into the Myriad Beasts Tomb. These shadows were Mu Chen and his companions, who were on their way to the Divine Cemetery.

“Now that we are deep inside the Myriad Beasts Tomb, we should be nearing the Divine Cemetery.” Mu Chen was at the front of the group, the black light between his brows shimmering.

Although he did not activate the Exterminating Eye, he could still pierce through the death-gas and sense his surroundings keenly. This allowed the group to avoid the beast spirits.

Nine Nether, Han Shan, and the rest nodded. They trusted Mu Chen completely. They had enjoyed such a smooth journey so far, which made them wonder if they truly were in the notorious dangerous place in the Land of the Divine Beasts.

They knew that they owed this relatively easy trek to Mu Chen’s foresight. If he had not checked out the region well in advance, then chosen the safest route to travel, they might have been attacked multiple times by the beast spirits.

“Some of the groups may have already reached the Divine Cemetery,” Nine Nether said. She looked at the grey death-gas in the area and wondered what horrifying thing was in the darkness.

Mu Chen nodded. Although they had overtaken many groups, they still hadn’t been able to catch up with some of them. The leaders in these groups were truly the geniuses. They represented the elite among those who had entered the Land of the Divine Beasts. Even Golden Sky Prime would be wary of them.

As such, their opponents in the Divine Cemetery would be the supreme geniuses in the Land of the Divine Beasts. It would thus be difficult to stand out from them and take possession of the treasures.

Although it would be difficult, Mu Chen was fearless and filled with fighting spirit. After all, a master must be ready to overcome any obstacle that ordinary people could not.

Swoosh!

As the blood in his body boiled, Mu Chen maintained his speed, then turned into a shadow, darting across the grey mountains. By the time the beast spirits in the mountains noticed the group, they were already on their way out.

Four hours passed before Mu Chen and his companions started to slow down. They landed on the peak of a mountain that was covered by a grey forest, then looked into the distance. The land before them was no longer grey, but dark red.

It looked as though the land had been stained with blood for thousands of years. And not just ordinary blood, but the blood of Sovereigns, as there was a strong oppression exuding from the land. Even Mu Chen, who had the protection of the real dragon and real phoenix, had difficulty breathing because of it.

The gorges on the ground were deep and even the space warps looked disintegrated. This was due to the fierce battle that had taken place here. That battle had been so fierce, even after thousands of years, this place could still not be restored.

The red death-gas mingled with the willpower that had been left behind by many late Sovereigns. Within the red death-gas were lofty towers that looked like groves of trees.

These towers acted as shields and isolated the area from the outside world. The red death-gas was kept within the area, unable to get out.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes and the black light between his brows shimmered. He turned grave as he looked at the lofty towers. With the help of the Exterminating Eye, he could discern that those were not lofty towers, but were actually skeletons!

He could not make out whose skeletons they were, but he was certain that they belonged to many types of Divine Beasts. These skeletons covered the entire region, protecting those that had died within it.

“Is this the Divine Cemetery?” Nine Nether looked at the majestic scene and was shocked. Their group was like a tiny ant compared to the cemetery’s numerous skeleton minions.

“It should be.” Mu Chen smiled and nodded. He then tilted his head to look in another direction. He could sense some spiritual energy fluctuations, making it apparent that other groups had arrived.

“Looks like news about the cemetery has spread. Many of the powerful groups are going to be heading this direction.” Han Shan sighed.

“There is no way to hide it from the rest of the world,” Mu Chen said, not surprised.

Although these Supreme Divine Beasts’ Clans were well-informed, they could not escape the people’s attentions. Plus, they had been watched, so the rest would have figured out when they had entered the Myriad Beasts Tomb.

Mu Chen knew that those groups of Supreme Divine Beasts would not have deliberately kept the news from the rest. After all, such places were dangerous, and those who wanted to barge in had to have some capabilities if they wanted to gain any advantage. If they were not up to the task, the entire team would perish.

“Let’s go over there.” Mu Chen suddenly looked at a corner on the outer ring of the Divine Cemetery. Spiritual energy fluctuations exuded from the boulders, making it apparent that many groups were gathering in that area.

Although Mu Chen and his companions had some information about the Divine Cemetery, the information was not precise. As such, they figured that it would be better for them to follow behind the rest. Nine Nether and the rest nodded in agreement to this plan.

Mu Chen took the lead and darted straight to the area. After a few minutes, he was standing on one of the boulders, with Nine Nether and the rest following closely behind. They were surprised to see so many groups already gathering in the area.

All sizes of groups were standing on the boulders, each group distinct from the other. The vast number of people gathered was astounding. Mu Chen was surprised at their quantity and knew that he must not take them lightly.

As Mu Chen looked around the outer ring, he could not help but shift his gaze to look deep within it. There, some people were sitting cross-legged on several boulders. He froze when he looked at them, then his skin started to tighten. This was because he felt very threatened by them.

“Those were the Supreme Spiritual Beasts’ Clans,” Nine Nether said softly. She looked grave. These people would be their strongest opponents.

Mu Chen nodded. He was attracted to one unique group among those gathered. The group had colorful eyes and crystal light lingered above them, emitting a mysterious force.

A beautiful lady, who was robed in green, was sitting cross-legged before these people. She had fine brows and looked elegant. She exuded an aura that she was not onto be trifled with.

“That is the Nine Hues Peacock Clan. They have a royal bloodline, which is comparable to the Phoenix Clan,” Nine Nether said softly.

Mu Chen nodded. However, he knew that, even though the Nine Hues Peacock Clan’s bloodline was comparable to the Phoenix Clan, they were not as reputable.

“That must be the Heaven Piercing Ape Clan,” Mu Chen said, pointing and looking in another direction.

He could see skinny people standing on the stone platform, each of them holding a stone rod. Although they looked ordinary, Mu Chen could feel the dangerous fluctuations that exuded from them. The Heaven Piercing Ape Clan was one of the Supreme Spiritual Beasts’ Clans.

“That is the…the Giant Bird Clan.” Mu Chen shifted his gaze to the stone platform on the right. The people were standing about lazily, but he noticed that they looked sharp.

The Giant Bird Clan was a supreme clan. They had a supreme bloodline and their wings were like clouds. Moreover, their speed was as quick as lightning.

Mu Chen fixed his gaze on a man who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes shut at the front of the group. He had grey hair and looked less sharp than his companions. However, Mu Chen could tell that he was the most powerful among the Giant Bird Clan.

“The Divine Crane Clan is on that side…” As Mu Chen looked around, he became more serious. He could not help but sigh.

Among the top teams, they were in the best position to dominate. As such, no one dared question their authority.

Mu Chen sighed and turned to look at the stone platform in front of him. However, at that moment, he felt a chilly look upon him, causing the air around him to instantly grow cold.

Mu Chen frowned and lifted up his head to look in the distance. There, he saw the people from the Phoenix Clan standing proudly on the stone platform.

Among them, a man in a blue shirt was looking sharply at him. His look was so sharp, it seemed like it could pierce a hole in Mu Chen!

The man in the blue shirt was fanning himself with his icy blue feather fan. Cold air lingered around him and as he spoke.

“Were you the one snooping around earlier?”
