The big scorpion spoke in the human language. Its eyes were fierce as it stared at Qin Chen, trying to drive him away.
Qin Chen had traveled thousands of miles before finally finding the Demon Emperor Tomb. Naturally, he would not leave just like that. He said in a deep voice, “Senior, it wasn’t easy for me to get here. If I can’t go to the Demon Emperor Tomb to take a look, I will never leave.”
“The Demon Emperor Tomb is the Demon Emperor’s resting place. How can you enter as you please? Leave quickly, or die here!” The big scorpion shouted coldly. Its Supreme Sage aura gushed out, attempting once more to drive Qin Chen away.
Qin Chen’s eyes turned solemn. Now that success was within his grasp, he would definitely not leave. Since he could not convince the other party, he could only charge in.
With a thought, he activated the Moving Secret Technique. With extreme speed, he rushed forward in a flash.
“You’re seeking death!” The giant scorpion roared in anger. It raised its ten-thousand-foot-long tail where its poisonous stinger was attached and struck at Qin Chen.
Qin Chen stopped in his tracks and activated the Chaotic Holy Body. Chaos energy surrounded him as he roared and jumped high. Then, he punched the scorpion’s tail, and a terrifying force exploded. Green blood spurted out as the scorpion raised its pincers and screamed in pain.
“Human, how dare you hurt me!” The big scorpion was furious, and its aura became even more terrifying. It raised its iron pincers and aimed them at Qin Chen’s head. The power of this attack was extremely terrifying, and even a Supreme Sage would find it hard to resist.
“Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon!” Dragon roars sounded from Qin Chen’s body. One hundred and eight streaks of dragon qi materialized to protect him. Although it was only dragon qi, it still brought great pressure on the big scorpion.
“Bang!” With an explosion, the big scorpion’s iron pincers were bounced off by the dragon qi, and it was also forced back a few steps. Its eyes were full of surprise. It didn’t expect that with its cultivation of the Supreme Sage realm, it would still be unable to deal with a Sage King human. What surprised it even more was that the supernormal knowledge that this human had unleashed contained dragon might!
The dragon race was one of the most powerful races among the demons. They were worshipped as gods by all the demon races. This was not only suppression through strength but also by bloodline. Under the dragon’s might, even a demon expert in level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm would find his strength greatly reduced.
“What’s your relationship with the dragon race?” The big scorpion did not dare to offend the dragon race, so it asked with a look of fear.
Qin Chen did not attack again. He touched his chin and said, “One of my little brothers is a dragon.”
“How arrogant! How can a dragon race expert become your little brother? Nonsense, let’s see if you’ll tell the truth after I suppress you!” The big scorpion shouted coldly. It did not believe Qin Chen’s words. It waved its pincers again and smashed them toward Qin Chen.
The corner of Qin Chen’s mouth rose, revealing a disdainful smile. After the short exchange just now, he found that although this scorpion’s cultivation was in the Supreme Sage realm, its strength was indeed much weaker than the Supreme Sages he had fought before. Even if he could not use the Desolate Divine Halberd, he could still suppress it.
He circulated Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon with all his might. The dragon roars were unceasing as the dragon might overflowed, attacking the big scorpion directly. Perhaps it was because of the dragon’s might, but after a few rounds, the big scorpion showed signs of defeat. In the end, it retreated step by step and raised its pair of big iron pincers in surrender.
“No more, no more. I’ll just let you pass!” The big scorpion shouted, and its body shrunk. In the end, it turned into a human with a scorpion head.
Qin Chen was not in a hurry to go into the Demon Emperor Tomb. Instead, he came to the side of the big scorpion and asked, “Are you the demon that guards the Demon Emperor Tomb?”
“Probably. I was born here. However, I have never entered the Demon Emperor Tomb before,” The big scorpion shook its head. It seemed quite lonely. Although it was born here, it knew nothing about the Demon Emperor Tomb. It wasn’t even sure if it was the demon tasked to guard the place.
“You were born here, yet you didn’t go into the Demon Emperor Tomb to take a look?” Qin Chen was incredulous. To think the scorpion could silently cultivate and reach the Supreme Sage realm after staying here since birth. One could imagine how extraordinary this place was.
Furthermore, the Demon Emperor Tomb was the burial ground of the Demon Emperor. He did not believe that the big scorpion could remain untempted.
The big scorpion shook its head and did not reply to Qin Chen. Instead, it turned around and walked in the direction of the Demon Emperor Tomb. Qin Chen was puzzled as he followed with big steps.
After walking for a few minutes and passing through a sand field, a large blood-red desert appeared before Qin Chen’s eyes.
“The Demon Emperor Tomb is buried here. You are not the first person who wants to enter, but those who have gone in have all died.”
Qin Chen’s expression changed when he heard the scorpion’s words. According to the historical records in the outside world, no one had entered the forbidden grounds for a million years. In other words, someone had come here a million years ago, but all died and even dyed the desert red.
Looking at the blood-red desert in front of him, Qin Chen was shocked. The desert was at least a million miles wide. It was hard for him to imagine how many people had died here to dye it entirely red.
“How did they die?” Qin Chen asked.
The big scorpion looked at the blood-red desert and shook its head, “At that time, I had just been born, so I only dared to hide at the side. Not long after they went down, the desert became like this, and no one has come out until now.”
“You stayed here all this time? Have you never gone out?” Qin Chen frowned. He was curious about how the big scorpion had survived all these years.
The big scorpion pointed outside with its pincers and said, “Other than this place, the rest of the desert is filled with demonic winds. I want to leave, but I have to be able to do so! For so many years, I have been staying here, relying on the pills and corpses that fly out of the Demon Emperor Tomb to survive.”
“Pills that fly out of the Demon Emperor Tomb?” Qin Chen was confused. At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and the blood-red sand in the center of the desert poured out, revealing a small hole the size of a well.
Before Qin Chen could react, a gust of demonic wind blew out of the hole, and a bunch of random things was blown out. There were pills, weapons, spatial artifacts, and even a human skeleton.
The big scorpion found a leather bag from somewhere and put all these things in it. It even stared at Qin Chen with vigilance and said, “These are all mine,”
Qin Chen was speechless. Did this guy think that he would snatch those things?
The big scorpion carried the leather bag and brought Qin Chen to a sand pit not far away. There was a bonfire burning in the sand pit and an extraordinary tent with ancient Sage runes. It was no less mystical than a Sage weapon. It should be something that the scorpion picked up outside the blood-red desert.
At this moment, Qin Chen’s eyes were attracted by a big black pot. The pot was completely black with many stains. However, what surprised Qin Chen was that the array text on the big black pot was somewhat similar to the array text on the Desolate Divine Halberd.
Could it also be Emperor runes?
