《Overlord in Cultivation》94. The Terrible Tripod
Advertisement
"Big news! The Mausoleum of the First Emperor opened!"
The news spread throughout Huaxia College. Countless photos of what happened in the tomb bombarded Huaxia Alliance like time bombs.
The striking storm swept all over!
What was this? This was an ancient ruin! It represented the future!
Unnumbered cultivators rushed out of Base No.9!
As beast kings and cultivators from all forces rapidly gathered at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, it was like a huge earthquake burst out in the entire wilderness region of Base No.9!
"Go!"
Liu Chengtian made a prompt decision and broke into the mausoleum with about one hundred mighty cultivators!
Surely the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was a den of monsters. But Zu Yan would absolutely enter the mausoleum, for he had made hard efforts in opening it. There must be something invaluable inside, so naturally Liu Chengtian and his companions wouldn't give up this chance. Though it was only a small group, all of them were experienced and battle-scarred masters!
However, Xia Ze was still cultivating. He now was the key stand of Huaxia College. Only if he rose sharply could he be in charge and stabilize Huaxia College, so as to awe not only the fierce beasts but the whole world!
"Fuck off!"
The loud roar of Zu Yan smashed the rivers and mountains. His anger blew away all the bloody beams irresistibly. Zu Yan, together with the old man in a purple robe, suppressed the Blood Lance and knocked Martial Lord away who coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Without hesitation, Zu Yan rushed toward the mausoleum. Once he was late, there would be nothing left.
"Humph, want to leave? No way!"
The Martial Lord responded coldly. He wielded the Blood Lance and hit it against Zu Yan all at once, which made the heaven and earth tremble!
After all, the situation of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor would be much better if Martial Lord could hold Zu Yan off for a moment or the mausoleum would be completely controlled by Zu Yan!
Yi Yuan knew Zu Yan too well. If Zu Yan opened up the ancient ruins, he would take away all treasures and leave nothing for others.
At least thousands of cultivators entered the mausoleum now. The bloodiness made Liu Chengtian and others indignant for all the people here were scrambling brutally for treasures! It was out of control!
Bloody and ferocious! People died every minute.
Some inexperienced young cultivators looked pale. Many people went mad and fought against each other for the treasures!
Everyone wanted to be stronger! Everyone wanted to live longer! Everyone wanted to own more heritages!
The rules that used to regulate Huaxia Alliance seemed to lose efficacy.
That was what Liu Chengtian and his companions worried most. By that time, the whole Huaxia Alliance would be in chaos. Only if the strong forcibly suppressed the turmoil and created new rules could Huaxia Alliance return to order and develop smoothly and stably!
Blood was everywhere in the underground palace of the mausoleum. People there were killing crazily, for they had found all kinds of ancient scriptures, countless weapons, and even some divine herbs growing in some parts of the tomb.

"Where is Su Yan?!" roared Tong Huoyin out of rage, for Su Yan seemed to be missing. He was looking for Su Yan at first, but then he also joined the treasure-hunting group, digging out every region of the underground palace and plundering all kinds of unearthed ancient treasures.
While Su Yan was experiencing a very special trip.
As if breaking into a world of gods & devils, the terrible sources of power almost made his body crack and his soul perish!
"Ah!"
Su Yan roared angrily and glared his eyes wide open wildly. His brave and invincible will burst out, crushing the inner fear inside his heart suddenly. His eyes saw through layers of illusion!
"Thud! Thud! Thud!”
Divine sounds that resonated through the heaven and earth rumbled in his ear. This was an indescribable scene—like an ancient river coming across the sky, emitting terrible aura that could overturn the sky.
Countless stars rolled and rumbled, with star rivers shifting one after another!
The source of the aura was very mysterious. Su Yan had no idea whether it was an anomaly, a true scene happening, or some kind of treasure!
In a word, this kind of anomaly made the great universe rumble and shudder. Everything was going to be shattered by the coming turbulent aura.
"Rumble!"
The universe was heaving, the nature’s mystery was blurring, the sun was sinking and the moon was falling. Everything was about to be destroyed, including Su Yan!
However, a tripod emerged in the sky suddenly. With indomitable spirits, the tripod pierced the skies, propped up the world of chaos, and spewed out hundreds of millions of vital essence of fire!
Its appearance seemed to represent the order, the supreme law of heaven and earth!
It was huge, vast, and radiant. It was even breathing. The universe rumbled while the tripod breathed and abundant essential Qi flowed into the tripod.
This tripod seemed to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to refine a rare golden elixir.
"What a terrible treasure! Is this the creation inside?"
Su Yan’s scalp tingled as neither Heaven-suppressing Bell nor Training Pagoda could compare with it. Was it the greatest treasure of the universe? It was so terrifying that even the universe shook.
Su Yan gawked at this precious bronze tripod. It was falling down gradually. The speed seemed slow, but actually it was like crossing infinite star fields to get here. It finally came at Su Yan with the momentum of penetrating the fairy universe.
"Ah!"
Su Yan roared angrily. He felt his body was about crack and explode into pieces!
This was the pain of being destroyed both physically and spiritually. Su Yan was overwhelmed with anguish and felt that every second was as long as a century.
Blood seeped out from his forehead and fell on the tripod.
"Human blood detected! Meeting the requirements for being the tripod-bearer!"
Primordial will permeated the tripod, which would seemingly kill Su Yan at once if his blood didn't match!
"Blood of descendant of Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor detected! Eligible for being the tripod-bearer!"
The primordial will appeared again, "Descendant of Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor, legendary blood vein detected! Class—unclear. The inheritor meets all criteria and becomes the tripod-bearer! Assessment omitted."

After the terrible will making such voice, the pressure of the tripod slowly scattered, leaving Su Yan stupefied. The descendant of Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor? Legendary blood vein?
He was so confused about the test. How come he even passed without test? What the hell was going on here?
Besides the shock, a flash of excitement flashed by Su Yan’s eyes. Did this tripod recognize his master by having a test? Now his blood vein skipped the restriction of levels and met the recognition criteria, so he could own this tripod?
Thinking of it, Su Yan's blood was boiling. His ancestors really had left him something amazing.
"Boom!"
When Su Yan was in a daze, the tripod again emitted waves of primordial will. In the face of this formidable waves of will, even Su Yan's soul had a tendency to explode!
He was under infinite pressure, with his fists clenched tightly and his eyes opened wildly.
At this time, Su Yan's heart was choking. He saw a gigantic and vague face which contained unmatched waves appear between heaven and earth. It was like the face of Empyrean!
"What a horrible existence!"
Su Yan was short of breath and felt suffocated. In the face of such an existence, he had no qualification to resist at all.
This huge and vague face which looked like God's face swarmed the void. The face was not clear in a distance but his pupils were gazing at Su Yan.
"Examinee, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
Suddenly, an old and deafening sound exploded as if it came from ages ago, which made Su Yan petrified. Was the owner of this tripod still alive? Or was it the treasure of ancient Taoist Coercers?
"This is junior Su Yan. It’s my honor to meet you, senior!"
Su Yan bowed and said, "Senior, you asked me to kneel down, does it mean that you plan to take me as your disciple?"
In the void, the faint sound of stuffy thunder exploded. This huge face was blurry and mysterious. He said indifferently, "Every disciple of mine is a big shot or genius above all! Although you are qualified to own this tripod, whether you are qualified to be my disciple or not needs further tests!"
"I'm willing to accept all tests!"
Saying that, Su Yan was a little confused. The tripod just said the test was over, why did he need to be tested again?
Su Yan's eyes shrank. He felt something was wrong!
"Before the test, I have something to make clear. If you become my disciple, you have to do three things for me!"
Voice as shrill and blinding as the exploding thunder, he said, "These three things are not hard, but also not easy. You must finish them when you are strong enough!"
"As long as they’re not against my bottom line of morals, I’ll accept the terms!" Su Yan answered without hesitation. He wanted to see what would happen next.
"The first thing is, I am already dead. And this is the spirit will I left that is preaching!" The huge face spoke slowly. He continued, "You must revenge for me when you are strong enough!"
Su Yan felt an overwhelming anger was coming. He shivered and wondered, “How powerful should one be to kill such an overmatch?”
"Senior, my cultivation is weak now. But I will try my best and help you get justice back when I become mighty enough one day!" Su Yan said again.
"Hum!"
The huge face seemed to be very dissatisfied with Su Yan's reply. Countless storms of divine power rolled between heaven and earth, together with hundreds of millions of sunglows bursting out here!
When Su Yan looked up, his face slowly froze.
Storms of sparkling light pervaded the sky, like hundreds of millions of treasures falling down.
Su Yan was petrified and his body was trembling.
He saw at least millions of Essence Stones piling up together, forming great mountains that emanated horrible air of essence.
Su Yan was transfixed by what he saw.
A feeling of unprecedented shock made his blood boil. Countless primordial treasures piled up like crap.
All kinds of countless divine herbs and rare holy medicines were floating in the air like cabbages.
Treasures! Innumerable treasures!
"In training disciples, I'm not in the top ten!"
"But, as for resources? I have more resources than I can count!"
"Though I am dead, you can inherit my legacy as long as you become my disciple!"
The voice was deadly tempting. There were numerous treasures all over the sky, too many to count!
Su Yan's eyes turned red. His fists were clenched and his breath was heavy. Who could resist such an temptation? Who?!
However, Su Yan was also doubtful. That was too easy! Was there such a thing like unearned gain in the world?
"Of course!"
The huge face said again, "My resources are not what you can take as you want. I found that your body potential is not bad. I can give you three treasures to enhance your strength firstly, and then you can complete the tests I left behind!"
"Three treasures?" Su Yan was expecting what he would bring out.
"The first treasure is enough to remold your body thoroughly. Now force out the waste blood in your body and drink this jar of dragon blood. Then you can refine a whole body of dragon blood, so as to cultivate the supreme Dragon Manual I have created!"
"Boom!"
At this time, an ancient jar floated down from the sky. When Su Yan opened the jar, hundreds of millions of glows sprayed out from it. As if a jar of holy blood was opened, unnumbered beams of essence and blood spurted out.
Su Yan's blood boiled, rumbled and was eager to absorb this substance!
"This is dragon blood?"
Su Yan shouted out. That might be true, for his body even reacted spontaneously!
He saw hundreds of millions of tiny vivid dragons gushing out from the jar, unleashing supreme essential waves. The slightest aura of which nearly shattered Su Yan's body!
"Ang!"
Su Yan's sleeves suddenly burst open; the Dragon Totem which fell asleep unexpectedly woke up. A tiny real dragon quickly drilled out and rushed to the dragon blood in the jar!

Almighty Dung [Dropped]
Have you seen the future? I have not, nobody did, no one can. I see...have you heard of apotheosis' prophecy? What about it? Many didn't take it seriously, probably because nobody could crack its mysteries, but the indestructible prophecy rock has recently crumbled. It is a sign that things will change. ...What did the prophecy say? Sigh, you really don't know anything. There was a furnace drawn on the prophecy rock. There were three objects in it, named meaningless crown, black star and incomplete cross. When three signs appear the beast will awaken. Has the meaning been cracked? There are many hypothesis, but nothing concrete. The first object could have relation to king of some sorts, but in this vast universe there are many worlds, counties and kings. Who can really guess its meaning? It can also be metaphorical. What about black star? They say the second clue leads to eclipse, but this also says nothing. Third one? Cross is the symbol of divinity. The cracked cross might mean a lot of things, like person who wants to go against progenitor's ideas and laws and forcefully achieve divinity...It could also mean destruction of divinity, but something like that should be impossible... You're overthinking things. How could gods stay idle if someone is threatening their reign?Also, even if somebody is forcefully awakening, the gods will be alerted by commotion and won't let it succeed... Say, do you think that awakening beast is the one who will try to become one of us? Most likely. No, it's hard to say. The prophecy can't be that simple. This is nothing but wild guesses from our side. Alright, let's stop with depressing stuff. I found a nice place not too far from my domain constellation. Really? What's special about it? Nothing we've not seen before, except for a rare delicacy. They call it chocolate. Oh? Is it delicious? Yes, much better than slime candies you've been fond of. Are you free now? Of course! Then it's my treat. Be careful though, the sovereign over there is a bit low key, but very strong. You need to get to know world's customs first, we don't need extra trouble. No problem. We have nothing to do anyway, haha. What are we waiting for? Lead the way... Ark I - Invasion of thousand kingdoms (Chapter 1-???) Ark II - Nocturnal feast (Chapter ???-???) Ark III - False divinity (Chapter ???-???) Art by sandara on deviant art
