The Tomb of the Female Heavenly Emperor Unearthed

【“Look, isn’t the sky over Firelight Star tinged red today?”】

【“It is, it is!”】

【“Legend has it that the Female Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenfire Mystic Maiden, was born right here on Firelight Star!

After she passed away peacefully at the end of her life, she naturally returned to her homeland to be buried.

But the power of a Heavenly Emperor is simply too great!

Even after her death and countless ages have passed, the power naturally radiating from her corpse still affects this planet.

Heavenfire Mystic Maiden—just hearing that name tells you that the Dao she cultivated was related to fire.

That’s why our planet looks reddish.”】

【“She was really that amazing…”】

【“Of course she was! Learned something new, didn’t you? Hehe, you ignorant human!”】

【“By the way, what race did the Heavenfire Mystic Maiden belong to?”】

【“The human race.”】

【The conversation ended awkwardly.】

【Actually, you had one more question you wanted to ask them: If a Heavenly Emperor was so powerful, why hadn’t she truly become an immortal and achieved eternal life?】

【They probably wouldn’t know even if you asked.】

【The Heavenfire Mystic Maiden’s cenotaph was not far from here, so you headed in that direction for a while.】

【You hadn’t gone far when the “Treasure-Seeking Wonder Nose” reacted.】

【In the Void Realm, even immortal artifacts could be identified as treasures by the “Treasure-Seeking Wonder Nose.” However, Void Realm immortal artifacts were merely high-grade magical artifacts in the real world. They were not common enough to be found everywhere, but neither were they particularly rare.】

【Therefore, the “Treasure-Seeking Wonder Nose” no longer classified them as supreme treasures.】

【The entry adapted itself to the environment. The supreme treasures detectable by the “Treasure-Seeking Wonder Nose” in the real world were naturally of a much higher level.】

【Back at the Skydemon Sect, the “Treasure-Seeking Wonder Nose” had not reacted at all.】

【That was one of the three most powerful sects on Firelight Star. Surely it possessed a few treasures capable of suppressing the sect, right?】

【Now, the scent of a supreme treasure was drifting from the Female Heavenly Emperor’s cenotaph. It had to be an exceedingly rare treasure in this world!】

【“I have to go! Remember the time and place. Even if I can’t get it this time, I can come back ahead of everyone else next time and claim it. Hahaha!”】

【This was what you liked most about the “Simulator.”】

【You rode the Thunderhawk in the direction from which the supreme treasure’s scent was coming.】

【As you drew closer to the Female Heavenly Emperor’s cenotaph, you saw two groups of people traveling in opposite directions.】

【One group consisted of cultivators. Their eyes were filled with longing and greed as they hurried toward the cenotaph.】

【Most of them had no means of flight. Some rode horses or exotic beasts on the ground, while others leaped wildly from treetop to treetop.】

【The other group consisted of ordinary people. Most of them were humans who had fled from the towns near the cenotaph and were now desperately running away from it.】

【Their faces were filled with panic, and they were dragging their families along with them.】

【Looking up, you saw that in the direction from which they had fled, dark clouds blotted out the sun and countless bolts of lightning flashed. From time to time, pillars of fire shot into the heavens, only to be buried beneath mountains of ice a moment later.】

【Spells and killing techniques clashed.】

【Countless divine patterns intertwined in the sky.】

【The top cultivators on Firelight Star were battling fiercely over whatever lay inside the cenotaph.】

【The slightest remnants of power leaking from their clash were fatal to ordinary people.】

【Naturally, the mortals had to run.】

【No one knew how many had already died after being caught in the aftermath. Those who had made it this far were the ones who had fled from the area at the very beginning.】

【The two groups met in this area. Many cultivators ignored the mortals and rode their mounts straight through them, trampling numerous people into bloody pulp.】

【Seeing this, an inexplicable fury rose in your heart.】

【You thought of the cultivators of the Human Realm, who fought bloody battles to defend their homeland, advancing one after another without fear of death.】

【Yet the cultivators of the real world treated ordinary people as nothing more than ants, trampling them at will.】

【The contrast between the two sides was truly astonishing.】

【You leaped down from the Thunderhawk.】

【“Boom!”】

【Your iron fist, specially effective against foreign races, slammed into a Greenhide cultivator.】

【The Greenhides looked similar to humans, but their skin was dark green and covered in a thick layer of keratin. They were also roughly twice as tall as humans, with extraordinarily developed muscles, resembling bodybuilders one and all.】

【This Greenhide was riding a giant boar more than five meters tall and was just about to trample a group of human refugees beneath its feet.】

【You sent him flying with a single punch, then stomped down hard on the giant boar’s head, bringing it to an immediate halt and killing it on the spot with brain death.】

【Standing atop the giant boar, you tossed the refugees a low-grade, knife-shaped magical artifact.】

【“This pig is yours. Divide it up and eat it!”】

【Though the humans of Firelight Star had not been reduced to slavery like those on Fortune Star, they were still at the very bottom of society. Under normal circumstances, they hardly ever had a chance to eat meat.】

【The refugees were both astonished and delighted. They immediately knelt and kowtowed.】

【“Thank you, hero! Thank you, hero!”】

【You let out a sharp shout.】

【“No kneeling! You don’t need to kneel before anyone!”】

【Your old occupational habit from when you had been the leader of a rebellion on Fortune Star had resurfaced.】

【Just then, the Greenhide you had punched rose to his feet.】

【“Bastard! Who the hell are you?! How dare you hit me, Know-It-All, and give my mount away as meat?! You’re looking for death!”】

【Know-It-All?】

【That was clearly not his name, but rather a nickname used in the underworld.】

【Anyone bold enough to call himself that was probably like “Hundred-Knowing Scholar”—someone who claimed to know everything about everything.】

【The corners of your mouth curled upward slightly as you began plotting.】

【Know-It-All pulled out a magical mace studded with spikes and launched a killing move at you.】

【Your apparent cultivation was at the third revolution of the Core Formation Realm. Though you lacked divine sense, you possessed the embryonic form of it—spiritual perception—so you could determine that Know-It-All’s cultivation was roughly at the seventh revolution of the Qi Transformation Realm.】

【You did not even need the power of an entry to toy with him as easily as you would with a puppet.】

【Know-It-All was a Greenhide, and the innate talent of his race was immense strength.】

【You casually copied that talent from him.】

【Greenhide Talent—Innate Divine Strength: Greenhides are born with well-developed muscles and can lift ten times their own body weight. Through training or cultivation, this strength will continue to increase.】

【As your true cultivation reached the late stage of the Qi Transformation Realm, “Calamity of Ten Thousand Races” could simultaneously carry ten foreign-race talents!】

【On Firelight Star, you could come into contact with countless foreign races. All you had to do was touch someone, and you could obtain their talent.】

【Each additional talent was comparable to gaining another entry, though some were stronger and some weaker.】

【This was the first time you had obtained the Greenhide talent.】

【You rather liked it, because it meant you could stack even more strength!】

【“Boom!”】

【Another punch!】

【This time, you knocked eight of Know-It-All’s teeth out. His entire body flew dozens of zhang through the air, smashing through more than a dozen trees before finally coming to a stop.】

【“H-How did this human become even stronger?”】

【Seeing that you were human, Know-It-All had instinctively underestimated you. Only now did he realize that he had kicked an iron plate.】

【He decisively turned and fled.】

【“Smack!”】

【You used the Starry Sky Seven Steps, which had reached the Return-to-Originality Realm. Moving like a swift meteor, you easily caught up with him and stomped him beneath your foot.】

【“Senior, please spare my life! Know-It-All was blind and offended you without realizing your stature! Since you’re human, please let me go!”】

[The way they begged for mercy is enough to completely shatter your worldview.]

[What kind of phrase is “considering you’re human”? Don’t people usually say “considering who you are” or “for so-and-so’s sake”?]
