Tiandu Guard, Ministers, subordinates…

The silence was profound.

Everyone swallowed hard, their hearts palpitated as they looked at the endless abyss.

Because…

Over a thousand years ago, the Dragon Emperor also seemed to have fallen from here into the abyss.

To confirm if one could survive the fall, Empress Ziwei once ordered experts of Supreme Heavenly Rank to climb down.

Regrettably…

None returned.

More than ten Supreme Heavenly Rank experts climbed down, but not a single one came up.

It was ultimately determined that this abyss was the Abyss of Death.

Therefore.

When Fang Yu fell down the cliff.

Empress Ziwei didn't even look nor checked, she directly ordered the sealing of the mountain behind.

The remaining people grandly returned to Tiandu Hall.

…

Tiandu Hall.

Empress Ziwei sat upright on the Dragon Chair, her gaze sharply swept over the crowd.

"The Master of Ice Divine Hall has fallen; now the Ice Divine Hall has been controlled by those old creatures. According to the scouts' report, there are individuals of Fire Attribute at Supreme Heavenly Rank, and they have mastered multiple Ancient Battle Techniques, defeating the Master of Ice Divine Hall."

"Wind Divine Temple, Dark Temple, Killing God Temple, and Bright Temple are still struggling to hold on."

Upon hearing this set of reports.

Empress Ziwei's expression was indifferent, she said nothing.

Maid Xia'er spoke sharply: "The Five Great Divine Palaces have many Supreme Heavenly Rank experts stationed; even if those old creatures regained their strength, they shouldn't be able to force the Five Great Divine Palaces into incompetence, what exactly is going on?"

"Re… Replying to Your Majesty…" the reporting person, already sweating profusely, spoke incoherently, "those people, seem, seem to have brought modern weapons…"

"Modern weapons?" Ziwei finally spoke.

"Yes, modern weapons."

A moment later.

Ziwei waved her hand and said, "Within two hours, I need the most comprehensive information regarding modern weapons."

"This…" the subordinate below showed an embarrassed face.

"What?"

"Replying to Your Majesty… Complete information on modern weapons, I'm afraid… might not even fit in a cartload..."

Empress Ziwei slightly frowned.

Maid Xia'er on the side said: "Then find a summary of the information."

"Yes!"

The subordinate quickly left the hall.

"Your Majesty… This incident happened too suddenly. Xia'er finds it strange, Fang Yu suddenly rescued those old creatures, those creatures have suddenly regained their strength. Now they have suddenly launched an attack on the Five Great Divine Palaces… If there was no premeditation, how could they reach a consensus in such a short time? This is very suspicious."

Hearing this.

Empress Ziwei blandly said, "Arrange two things. First, send someone to investigate Fang Yu's background; second, dispatch Tiandu Guards to support the Five Great Divine Palaces, those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish; third, any subordinates of the Dragon Emperor, kill them all, without exception."

"Yes!"

…

…

At the same time.

Tiandu Hall's rear mountain.

In the bottomless abyss.

In the dim, dense forest.

Apart from these bizarrely lush plants, there is no sign of life.

Under the trees, a ground full of skeletons…

Some are shattered into pieces, some are smashed terribly.

On the tree branches.

A puff of purple light, in a fragmented state.

Drip-drop.

A water droplet hit the purple light, which then disappeared.

This purple glow was the Dragon Trace Sacred Armor.

Plop!

Fang Yu fell down.

"Ouch, damn… how deep is this thing exactly? I almost couldn't hold it even with the Dragon Trace Sacred Armor!"

Fang Yu rubbed his [i]butt[/i], and stood up.

He looked around for a moment.

And the skeletons on the ground.

Startled him.

"There really are quite a few people who jumped down here!"

Glancing around for a moment.

The nose twitched—

"The Spiritual Energy is so rich! Almost the same as in the Ancient Times." Fang Yu exclaimed.

But what made him uncomfortable was the heavy dampness around.

No one could guarantee what kind of monsters were growing inside.

"With so many experts of Supreme Heavenly Rank falling off the cliff, is there not a single survivor?"

Fang Yu walked forward.

There were plenty of skeletons.

Scattered all around.

After walking less than fifty meters, Fang Yu saw a stele.

"A stele? Are there people here?"

Fang Yu was puzzled and hurried over.

He thought he would find some clues on the stele, but there were no inscriptions.

Upon closer inspection, he found that the stele was engraved with strange patterns.

"What is this?" Fang Yu cursed under his breath.

Due to the rich Spiritual Energy, Fang Yu felt his breathing become somewhat strange... Under normal circumstances, one should cultivate immediately upon encountering such an abundant Spiritual Energy environment, but how could he cultivate without being sure of the safety of the environment?

Fang Yu continued forward, and after walking less than ten meters, he saw another stele.

"The same patterns?"

This was really odd.

He kept walking.

Another twenty meters on, Fang Yu saw the third stele, next to which there was a cave.

"Could these steles be guiding the way?"

Fang Yu arrived at the mouth of the cave.

Just as he was about to enter, he heard the whooshing of wind.

That was the strange noise made by the wind at the cave's entrance.

The surroundings were still extremely quiet.

Just as Fang Yu was puzzled, he suddenly felt a heat surge in his chest.

"Huh?"

Fang Yu immediately grabbed the memory fragments on his chest.

Sure enough, the memory fragments were heating up.

"Could there be other memory fragments here?" Fang Yu was overjoyed!

He never expected to find memory fragments here.

This meant... the Dragon Emperor had once been here.

Relying on the induction from the fragment, Fang Yu found that the direction was inside the cave.

He started walking into the cave... It took a while before he felt the end of this cave.

Fang Yu raised his hand.

A flame ignited on his palm, lighting up the surroundings.

"Damn it! What is this..."

At the end of the cave, there was actually a complete skeleton sitting there!

Fang Yu frowned and looked around.

There was a stone bed.

And some half-burned firewood. However, due to the passage of time, this firewood had already decayed.

Then, Fang Yu's gaze fell on the skeleton.

There was nothing else around, just this thing.

The skeleton was sitting cross-legged.

On its leg bones, there was a Brocade Box... the index and middle fingers were placed on it.

"Could this be the memory fragments? Impossible... Is this the Dragon Emperor?!" Fang Yu was greatly shaken.

He couldn't help but think, and the thought made his flesh crawl.

Just imagine.

Beneath a boundless cliff, in a pitch-dark cave, seeing one's own bones from a past life.

This...

It would be hard for anyone to accept.

To confirm his thoughts.

Fang Yu bent down and picked up the Brocade Box...

With a snap.

The Brocade Box had also decayed from over a thousand years, no longer in its original form.

It instantly turned into powder.

Three crystal-clear, glowing memory fragments fell into the palm of Fang Yu's hand.

This made his heart race and his face filled with shock—

"It's really the Dragon Emperor!"
