In Chapter 376, there are two kinds of [Proofs of Eternity] in the main tomb chamber of the Quasi-Celestial Venerable? This is a huge windfall!
Where it had looked like the entrance to the stairs, a ladder suddenly extended out and wrapped around the fanatical tomb raider.
The tomb chamber was built from the flesh and blood of monsters, and the staircase was also made of flesh and blood. Just this one staircase looked exactly like the monster's tongue, and its power was extremely fierce.
Although Xia Fa and the others saw it, it was too late when they tried to make a move. The speed of the stairs was unbelievable, and even the peak Outer Gods couldn't react in time.
Fortunately, the fanatical tomb raider was a real person.
Just as he was clearly being dragged around, the golden coffin appeared the next moment. The golden coffin was open, with the lid in front of the fanatical tomb raider and the body behind him. Then it suddenly closed.
Snapped!
The staircase was instantly severed by the closed golden coffin, and the broken end swayed and gushed out a large amount of dark blood, like the severed limbs of a monster.
"ah!!!!!"
The screams came from a very, very far place, penetrating through countless tombs and walls. They were so venomous and malevolent that even the bold [Crimson Demon Tree] felt a chill run down its spine.
The next moment, the golden coffin opened, and the fanatical tomb raider walked out calmly, the golden coffin disappearing behind him.
"This large tomb is very strange. Remember to stay close to me and be vigilant about your surroundings."
The entity spoke with a rather solemn tone, as if it had already sensed something was amiss.
The three Outer Gods, including the Crimson Demon Tree, nodded repeatedly. Putting everything else aside, although the power of the stairs wasn't too great when they rolled over, the speed alone was enough to make them tremble.
This indicates that a trap has already appeared in the tomb of this quasi-celestial being, a trap that even these outer gods could not react to, and this is only the outermost part of the tomb chamber.
Xia Fa became increasingly vigilant, but the golden coffin he had just seen looked strangely familiar.
The avid tomb raider noticed his unusual behavior, and his face immediately changed from serious to beaming with smiles, asking as if he were concerned for a junior member, "What's wrong? Is there something you're wondering about?"
Seeing that even the fanatical tomb raiders were asking this question, Xia Fa simply stated it directly: "This golden coffin—"
The fanatical tomb raider laughed, "What, you even know the [Immortal Mummy]?"
Even as He smiled and spoke to Xia Fa upon hearing this name, a hint of sadness involuntarily flashed in His eyes.
Even the three, including the Crimson Demon Tree, fell silent, clearly recognizing the Outer God who perished alongside the Silver Cleaner, "Silver Axe."
Xia Fa nodded: "Yes, I've met you before."
The fanatical tomb raider sighed softly: "Although many Outer Gods have been besieged or killed by the Cleaners in the past few months, this brother's death still feels unreal to me. He was a peak Outer God! Fortunately, he fought to the death against a rather powerful Silver Cleaner at the last moment, so his death was quite heroic. As for this golden coffin—"
The golden coffin reappeared beside him. He reached out and patted it twice, producing two muffled "thump-thump" sounds.
"That's His external mystical treasure, modeled after my physical mystical treasure, so it looks very similar. We used to go tomb raiding together quite often."
"I see----"
Xia Fa nodded thoughtfully. He had previously considered that since the Old Ones had Old Ones treasures and the Nine Great Gods had Great Gods treasures, and further down the line, the Divine Beings and Outer Gods could also create their own Divine Beings treasures and Outer Gods treasures, could there also be Celestial Treasures and physical treasures?
Now it seems there really is!
The avid tomb raider nodded and hummed in agreement. Then, instead of heading down the stairs, he took out a compass and held it in his hand.
Upon seeing this, [Philosophy Pencil] couldn't help but show surprise. Although He had never met the entity of the fanatical tomb raider before, nor had He ever raided a tomb with him, He had heard His Source Master [Knowledge Apostle] tell many stories about the fanatical tomb raider.
One of them is his compass, called the "Treasure Compass". Although the name seems ordinary, it is extremely useful. It can not only find treasure, but also find the main tomb chamber or the way out when escaping.
But the real key is that, under normal circumstances, avid tomb raiders will only take out their treasure-hunting compass when they get close to the main burial chamber. Before that, they can rely solely on their experience and the "tomb raiding" rules that they possess as physical beings.
And now, as soon as everyone entered the tomb of this quasi-celestial being, the fanatical tomb raiders actually took out the treasure-hunting compass with such solemnity.
"This quasi-Celestial Venerable's tomb certainly looks extraordinary."
Suddenly, the brass pointer of the treasure-hunting compass in the hands of the fanatical tomb raider began to spin wildly, then abruptly stopped, pointing in the northwest direction.
"It seems the only way forward is to disrupt the layout of this tomb. Let's go."
As the "leader," the fanatical tomb raider was essentially the commander-in-chief of the tomb raiding team; as soon as he spoke, everyone immediately followed suit.
The fanatical tomb raider put away his treasure-hunting compass, and the pickaxe reappeared in his hand. He then slammed it down on the fleshy wall in the northwest corner.
Snapped-!
A sound like flesh being pierced and torn apart by an air cannon rang out. The fanatical tomb raider's attack had actually created an extremely long tunnel of flesh and blood, with black blood flowing through it and the smell of sewage and stench filling the air.
"It's poisonous, everyone please take precautions."
The fanatical tomb raider tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and covered his mouth and nose. Xia Fa, on the other hand, gathered the mystical living silver in his nasal cavity and respiratory tract to prevent poisoning.
The tunnel of flesh and blood was extremely long, seemingly endless. The fanatical tomb raider immediately went inside, followed closely by Xia Fa, and then the three members of the Crimson Demon Tree.
The group trudged forward on the soft, fleshy surface of the tunnel, occasionally stepping into black, sewage-like blood.
At this point, the role of the "Compact White Dwarf" within the "Compact Cluster" becomes apparent. Naturally resembling a white dwarf, its inherent light illuminates this tunnel of flesh and blood.
Not only did it illuminate the area, but because the light was so intense, it even seemed to penetrate the walls on both sides of the flesh tunnel.
The crowd looked around warily and curiously, and were surprised to find that the walls on both sides of the flesh tunnel were actually countless flesh tombs!
These tombs, like the ones they had just entered, were all side chambers on the outer perimeter of this Quasi-Celestial Venerable's tomb. But precisely because of this, they seemed abnormal.
"My lord, this isn't right! How can there be so many side chambers? A tomb layout based on the 'Lingtian' celestial constellations shouldn't be like this, should it?"
The Philosophy Pencil spoke up, boldly engaging in conversation with the fanatical tomb raider.
The avid tomb raider nodded solemnly: "I noticed it from the beginning, which is why I told everyone to be careful. Generally speaking, the burial layout of the 'Lingtian' constellation is strongly related to the number 'seven,' because seven days, in a mystical sense, represents a cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, the side chambers are either seven, seventy-seven, or seven hundred and seventy-seven, but—"
The Crimson Demon Tree sensed something was amiss: "The number of side chambers here has far exceeded seven hundred and seventy-seven?"
The avid tomb raider nodded slightly: "Yes, although it is still the celestial constellation pattern, it has obviously undergone tremendous changes. This quasi-celestial being had grand ambitions when arranging his own tomb."
[Dense White Dwarf] couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that He really wants to become a Celestial Venerable through a corpse transformation?"
The avid tomb raider said, "Possibly, but if that's the case, once we get close to the main burial chamber, the spoils will be enormous."
Xia Fa asked curiously, "How so?"
Even though he had only been in the tomb of this quasi-celestial being for a short time, Xia Fa had already developed a strong interest in tomb raiding. He found esoteric concepts such as the layout of celestial tombs and the transformation and sublimation of corpses to be quite worthy of exploration.
Therefore, seeing that it was relatively safe inside this tunnel of flesh and blood, he seized the opportunity to ask more questions.
After all, if they wait until the tomb raiding is over, the fanatical tomb raiders will definitely leave, and then it's hard to know when they'll meet again. It's impossible to ask the fanatical tomb raiders all sorts of questions about tomb raiding as a "glutton," that would definitely give them away.
The avid tomb raider, seemingly quite patient and willing to teach Xia Fa, explained: "Generally speaking, a Quasi-Celestial Venerable who wants to be resurrected in a tomb with a celestial layout can use a secret technique to preserve at least one [proof of eternity] within the corpse."
"And if he also intends to undergo a zombie transformation and ascend to a higher level, then he will prepare all kinds of secret contracts around himself in advance, including ordinary secret contracts, advanced secret contracts, and overlord-level secret contracts."
"Only in this way can He automatically absorb the surrounding secrets when He successfully transforms into a zombie."
Xia Fa was stunned: "But—don't we need to sign an agreement and advance the understanding process?"
The fanatical tomb raider shook his head: "No need, but precisely because of this, those tomb owners who successfully transform into zombies are basically out of the running for the orthodox path of becoming gods, and often become all sorts of strange and unknown beings."
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the three Outer Gods, the Crimson Demon Tree, and explained, "Of course, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about those unknown beings who don't even have a race."
【Crimson Demon Tree】: ————
[Philosophical Pencil]: ————
【Dense White Dwarf Star】:
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being looked down upon?
There was clearly no choice, right? If there were a choice, who wouldn't want to take the orthodox path of becoming a god, which involves a hundred secret contracts and three kinds of eternal certificates?
However, although they thought this way, they didn't dare to voice their complaints. On the one hand, they were afraid of the fanatical tomb raiders who were actually physical beings, and on the other hand, they were not very familiar with them and dared not make any comments.
The avid tomb raider turned back and patiently explained to Xia Fa, "Besides that, most importantly, the owner of such a tomb will also prepare a kind of 'proof of eternity,' which is also around the burial site. In other words, this is actually the key to the successful transformation and ascension of the corpse."
"But then again, this is what makes it unstable. The [Eternal Certificate] might become something that can't be sealed away, like a legend or a story, and just disappear."
"However, since we've encountered this tomb layout, we should still take a look. Perhaps, the main burial chamber contains two kinds of [proof of eternity]!"
