Chapter 417 Divine Level Magical Beas

After tampering the Pharaoh King Mobli's soul, shreds of soul appeared in Yang Ling's mind. His Mental Energy and sixth sense improved again. At the same time, he successfully obtained the Pharaoh King's memories and discovered many secrets.

As it was, the humongous flying Magical Beast in the crypt was known as the Golden Roc; it was a Divine-level Magical Beast. It could fly up thousands of miles with a flap of its wings, and it was able to travel at lightning speed. What was more incredible was that it could rely on its Divine Power and its lightning speed to break and fly through the terrifying currents of space and time. In other words, it could travel to and from various dimensions.

The ancestor of the Pharaoh came from a dimension known as Atlantis. A very, very long time ago, the first-generation Pharaoh King led part of his clansmen, riding upon the Golden Roc, to an unknown dimension, ready to mine urgently-needed Blue Crystal Ores. Unexpectedly, on their way, they encountered a space particle storm. They rode away on the injured Golden Roc to escape the particle storm, then they unintentionally came to a mysterious place.

Unintentionally, they had barged into the dangerous Graveyard of the Deities and Demons!

Just after the one harrowing escape from the particle storm, the first-generation Pharaoh King had not even taken a short break on the foreign land when they were forcefully chased off by an elder, who hurried over after having heard the news. In the ensuing conflict, both parties attacked each other.

After a totally chaotic battle, the mysterious elder was gravely injured and fell to the ground. Treasures like the Teleportation Portal and the Ring of the Earth fell to the ground. The mysterious elder then retreated hastily. He had no time to pick the treasures up, so they were left behind. Before he left, he sent a Magical Message, summoning a group of fearsome and ferocious evil demons.

The mysterious elder might be gravely wounded, but the first-generation Pharaoh King also suffered from great losses!

Seven or eight out of every ten of his elite men were gone. The ligaments and tendons of the first-generation Pharoah King were almost completely broken. The Pharaoh King later slowly recovered, but his battle wounds left behind a fatal latent danger, so later an Ancient Wizard would be able to take advantage of it.

The Pharaoh King was the center of the clan. To the clansmen, his injury did not bode well…but this was not the most frightening thing to have happened!

Although the Divine-level Golden Roc had broken through the space particle storm in the currents of space and time, it had already been gravely wounded. After barging into the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons, in order to defend against the mysterious and powerful elder, it again took the brunt of his attacks, so his injuries grew more and more serious.

After fighting off the first wave of evil demons with difficulty, the Divine-level Golden Roc tore through space and time. With its last breath, it carried everyone away from the terrifying Graveyard of the Deities and Demons. After landing on the Tailun Continent, its injuries were already so severe that it was beyond help. It could not help but to seal itself away and wait for its clansmen to help it, slowly healing from its own severe injuries during its endless waiting.

The gravely wounded Divine-level Golden Roc had made the wisest choice, but it did not expect that this wait would last ten thousand years!

The first-generation Pharaoh King led his clansmen and stubbornly survived on Tailun Continent, where he built the Underground Tomb. He moved the Golden Roc and his dead clansmen deep into the Underground Tomb for safekeeping. He hoped that one day, he would be able to find the Natural Spirit Treasure to help the Golden Roc heal rapidly. He also hoped that one day, his clansmen in Atlantis would be able to find him and his party.

To fulfill his wishes, Pharaoh Kings of later generations sealed away the corpses of the dead clansmen and their descendants. They relied on the powerful Thebes Empire to search for all sorts of treasures from everywhere. They even used the Teleportation Portal to enter the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons. Unfortunately, ten thousand years had passed, and the crystal coffins in the Underground Tomb had become numerous. They covered a huge area, yet no one had been able to find the treasure that would resurrect the Divine-level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc, nor had any clansmen from Atlantis come.

Treasures from the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons?

After stowing away various treasures like the Space Ring, the Ring of the Earth, and the Teleportation Portal on the Pharaoh King's body, Yang Ling looked at the Teleportation Portal carved with runes and looked at the astonishingly powerful Ring of the Earth. After being overjoyed, he was filled with doubt.

According to the Pharaoh King Mobli's memories, the first-generation Pharaoh King was not someone that an ordinary Divine-level Expert was a match for, not to mention the Golden Roc Magical Beast that was astonishingly powerful even within Atlantis itself. The power and capabilities of a Divine-level Magical Beast that could break and fly through the currents of space and time were something that could not be overlooked. Compared to Elder Brent, who had been trapped in the Underground Tomb for thousands of years, it was definitely many times more powerful!

Although there were only a few soldiers left back then, the first-generation Pharaoh King and his party were still able to rule the whole of Tailun Continent and build the great Thebes Empire. He could only imagine how powerful they were at the height of their power, but they were still gravely injured by the mysterious elder!

He had a Teleportation Portal that would allow him to come and go from the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons freely, and he could challenge hundreds of Atlantis warriors by himself, and seriously injure the powerful Pharaoh King and a Divine-level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc …

If Yang Ling was shocked by a head poking out of the Teleportation Portal and by how an evil demon was almost sent over to the Underground Tomb by the Teleportation Portal, then the mysterious elder within the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons had truly astounded him. He was unable to imagine exactly how terrifyingly powerful the mysterious elder might be!

The scope of this world and how complicated things were far exceeded his own imagination!

Shaking his head, Yang Ling wore the Ring of the Earth and kept the Teleportation Portal in the Space Ring, then carefully examined the huge crypt. After coming into contact with Elder Brent and gaining access to the Pharaoh King Mobli's memories, he realized that there were still many things he did not know in this strange world.

The whole underground crypt could be divided into three zones. One zone was used to store thousands of years' worth of accumulated fortunes of the Thebes Empire, one zone was used to store the ice-cold crystal coffins, and the largest zone was where the Divine-level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc, laid unmoving.

After ruling the continent for thousands of years, the successive generations of Pharaoh Kings had accumulated an astonishing amount of fortunes. There were countless gemstones, huge amounts of top-quality crystals, and even countless boxes of strange items… Even if he wore Space Rings on all ten of his fingers, Yang Ling guessed that he would not be able to fit everything in. Thankfully, he still had a Wizard Pagoda's Space with a broad expense of land. He would not reject anything. The more the merrier.

There were not many of the Tribesmen who came with the first-generation Pharaoh King to the Tailun Continent. Many of them who settled in the Tailun Continent only had one child to carry on the line. Many of them did not leave any descendants behind. But, after a few thousand years, the combined number of them were not few. The transparent crystal coffins were densely packed across a large area.

Every coffin was filled with an inky green fluid; they had a light scent of formaldehyde. If he had guessed correctly, this was why the corpses were so lifelike even after ten thousand years. It was vastly different from the rumors that were being spread on the outside.

According to the memories of the Pharaoh King Mobli, all the clansmen who had died would be soaked in a solution like this in the hopes of being resurrected one day on the altar in Atlantis. Only the servants or soldiers who were buried together would have their organs removed, be bandaged with cloth, and become dried-out mummies.

The underground crypt was huge, but just the Divine-level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc, took up half the space by laying on the floor.

Looking at the Golden Roc laying on the ground like a mountain that was more than ten stories high – a body that was fully covered with hard scales that even the Blood Elf Dagger could not stab through – and looking again at the cold light glinting off its giant claws, Yang Ling was astounded beyond belief. He could not imagine how powerful its attack abilities would be if it were resurrected!

If he had such a strong, top-level Magical Beast – not to mention the Church's vengeance – it definitely would not be a problem for him to directly attack the holy city and destroy the entire Church!

Whoosh…

Just as Yang Ling was preparing to circle a few times around the Golden Roc, the ground suddenly started to shake. The gemstones and crystals, which were piled high into a small hill, started to slide down with rustling sounds. Dust started falling away from the walls, and pieces of rocks started falling from above him…

Earthquake, or…?

After feeling that the ground was sinking bit by bit, Yang Ling looked grave. In that moment, he did not know if it was an earthquake he encountered by coincidence, or he had accidentally triggered some ultimate restriction of the Underground Tomb. The structure of the Underground Tomb was unique. The Underground Tomb could collapse in an instant. If he could not escape in time, Yang Ling feared that he really would be buried alive with the Pharaoh King! In great shock, he had no time to look at everything in detail and just used the Object Assimilation Restriction to stow away all items of value, including gemstones and crystals.

After swallowing a few handfuls of Magical Beasts Blood Orbs and emptying all the accumulated fortunes of the successive Pharaoh Kings in batches, Yang Ling had no time to rest. He quickly walked around the underground crypt to see if there were any treasures he might have missed. The Thebes Empire historically controlled a huge expanse of land. At its peak, it ruled over half the people on the continent. Surely the items that the successive Pharaoh Kings had kept into the underground crypt were all rare treasures. Naturally, he could not let an opportunity like this pass.

Rumble…

The shaking in the Underground Tomb was getting stronger and stronger. Piece after piece of huge rocks smashed downwards one after another. The ground was slanting more and more. After turning his body sideways to avoid a huge rock that brushed past him, Yang Ling looked at the Divine-level Magical Beast, the Golden Roc, which laid unmoving on the ground. He gritted his teeth, then expanded a huge amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy to stow away this Magical Beast into the Wizard Pagoda's Space, regardless of consequences. He then used the Earth Evasion Spell to teleport out of there. The Underground Tomb was filled with pulses of hidden energy, so he was unable to teleport directly to the surface, but he should not have much trouble teleporting to the third level of the Underground Tomb.

There were treasures everywhere in the underground crypt. Not to mention everything else, the crystal coffins the successive Pharaoh Kings slept in were no ordinary items. Unfortunately, after using the Object Assimilation Restriction a few times over a large area, Yang Ling's Wizard Power and Mental Energy were at a low. If he were to forcefully attempt to stow away the crystal coffins, he was afraid that he might not have enough Wizard Power left to cast the Earth Evasion Spell to teleport out. Furthermore, the Underground Tomb was collapsing at a faster rate. If he did not quickly get out of there, he really might have to be buried alive together with the previous generations of Pharaoh Kings!

"Not good!"

The Underground Tomb kept collapsing. Huge stones fell like rain. Unfathomably deep cracks formed on the ground. Water gushed in huge amounts from many of the cracks. After teleporting to the third level, Yang Ling saw that a nearby Teleportation Formation was about to be destroyed by a falling giant rock that was lightning fast. Yang Ling was stunned and teleported straight over while gritting his teeth. Just as he used the Teleportation Formation to teleport out, a loud bang was heard from behind him. He was nearly buried alive in a pile of rocks.

One formation, two formations, three formations…

Each time he got out of a Magical Formation, Yang Ling immediately teleported to the next Teleportation Formation like mad, teleporting out of there one formation at a time, and swallowing Magical Beast Blood Orbs a handful at a time to replenish lost Wizard Power and Mental Energy. Each time was a close call; he was rushing to leave before the Magical Formations were completely destroyed. Just as he reached the surface, the whole Underground Tomb sunk completely with a rumble, revealing a large hole as if it had been hit by a meteorite. Maybe there was a hidden river running underground, or maybe there was a huge spring deep within the Underground Tomb, but within a short period of time, huge amounts of water gushed out into the hole. It filled up more and more, slowly forming a huge lake.
