Chapter 3025 Ancient Tomb

Li Yao scanned the surface of the entrance of the ancient tomb carefully, but he found nothing except for his own clear reflection. Just like Li Linghai, he did not know what the so-called 'entrance' was. Was it a man-made celestial body, a super teleportation array, or was it because the 'black wall maker' captured one wormhole or a hundred wormholes and condensed them together? Li Yao's attention was completely occupied by the entrance of the tomb. He could not help but manipulate the Giant God Soldier to touch the mercury-like surface.

Ripples immediately spread out on the surface of the entrance of the ancient tomb, as if it were a tunnel leading to the unknown. Before Li Yao was ready, an inexplicable attraction force pulled him and the arsonist in.

It was not a simple absorption. A lot of 'mercury' that seemed to be alive surged out and enveloped, melted, and melted the giant soldier god.

The feeling was similar to the space jump, which was a three-dimensional breakdown of the space jumpers.

But compared to the simple and crude technology of space jumps, which had tremendous side effects, the technology employed by the 'Black Wall Makers' was much more advanced. The entire process was very warm, gentle, and comfortable. The warm 'mercury' not only enveloped the Giant God Soldier, it also enveloped Li Yao's skin and every cell in his body, giving him maximum protection. Without him knowing, he had passed through the barrier of time and space and arrived at -

Li Yao felt that he was falling rapidly.

He seemed to have appeared out of thin air among the blue sky and white clouds, falling towards the lush land.

Pu! Pu pu pu pu! The power spurts of the Giant God Soldier emitted an ugly noise. The intensity of the power unit, the metal fatigue of the overall structure, and the consumption of fuel had all reached the limit. Li Yao could not even activate the anti-gravity unit. He could only spurt out a few feeble flames. Together with his own gravity manipulation technique, he was able to help the Giant God Soldier decelerate. In the end, he fell to the ground with a "Bang Bang" and fell flat, creating a human-shaped crater.

Thankfully, it was not hard metal or concrete below but soft soil, which reduced the impact by more than 90%. "Chi…"

The protective cover of the spiritual residence opened automatically. Li Yao crawled out on all fours.

Little Black, who had followed him since childhood, had also condensed into a form suitable for high-speed movement and exploration. It was a fat ball that looked like a ball made of black sesame seeds and sticky rice. It flapped its short wings and circled around Li Yao's head.

"Is this the legendary… Tomb of the Supreme Emperor, the Gold Throne, and the Firmament Sector?"

Li Yao scratched his messy hair and tried to open his swollen eyes. He sniffed the air and felt that… something was wrong.

This was a somewhat successful landing. Although the appearance of the Giant God Soldier was terrible, at least its main structure was not damaged. With the right materials and fuel, Li Yao could restore more than 70% of its fighter jet energy. The gravity inside the ancient tomb was somewhere between the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Empyrean Terminus Sector, which was the most suitable for the survival of the two-meter-long, carbon-based intelligent life forms. In the meantime, although the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of sulfur, the composition of the poisonous gases such as sulfur dioxide was still within the tolerance of ordinary people for a short period of time. There were no earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, or tornadoes. The humidity of the air made Li Yao believe that there should be lakes, oceans, or water systems nearby. Generally speaking, this place could be called a paradise for carbon-based intelligent life. It wouldn't be strange to say that the first carbon-based intelligent life originated from this place.

And that was exactly what happened.

This place was full of vitality. No, the word 'lively' was not enough to describe the abundance of creatures here. A great explosion of creatures had just taken place!

As far as one's eyes could see, there were primitive forests everywhere. The plants dozens of meters tall were tied up by vines and weaved into a complicated three-dimensional ecological network. From the depths of the forest came the howls of various animals and the cries of birds. Even in the transition zone between the forests, which was Li Yao's landing point, there were large areas of grassland.

The grass here was different from any other plants that Li Yao had seen on any planet. Their moisture content was shockingly high. With a light step, they would spurt out thick and dense sap, filling the air with a fresh and sweet smell. The cracks would even grow at a visible speed and soon recover to their original state, becoming even more robust. Even though the Giant God Soldier had fallen from the sky and burnt a large area of the prairie to death five minutes ago, more grass was wriggling to cover the Giant God Soldier right now. Good heavens! They were even extending their roots from the wet soil, trying to climb onto the body of the Giant God Soldier and drown him!

"How did this happen?"

Li Yao could not figure it out at all.

He flew to the sky with Little Black and looked down at the land from a height of approximately 200 meters. As far as his eyes could reach, there was nothing but colorful, lush green, and covered by primitive jungles and boundless grasslands. As far as the eye could see, it was the same even to the end of the horizon.

But—but it was impossible! Li Linghai had told Li Yao and everyone else very clearly that, although the environment inside the tomb of the Supreme Emperor was suitable for the survival of human beings, it was definitely not as vigorous, primitive, and natural as this. Instead, it was full of man-made traces.

According to Li Linghai's speculation, ten thousand years ago, at the peak of the Star Ocean Imperium, the Supreme Emperor had wanted to gather the strength of the entire civilization to explore this ancient tomb. Therefore, the Supreme Emperor had spared no expense and transported a large number of warships, carriers, shield machines, mobile laboratories, military camps, and even metal smelting bases as well as fully-automatic puppet production lines, turning this place into a copper-cast, iron-cast, and armed forward base.

When the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God suffered heavy losses and he was ready to hibernate in the depths of the ancient tomb, he should've brought a lot of people with him. It was not like he had only one commander, was it?

Li Linghai should not have lied about the matter.

Even if she wanted to sabotage Li Yao, it was unlikely that she would sabotage her own son, Li Jialing, too.

Besides, Li Yao and Li Jialing had both inherited part of Wu Yingqi's remaining soul, which had wandered in the tomb of the Supreme Emperor for hundreds of years. Therefore, Li Yao and Li Jialing both had vague memory pieces and flashbacks, which proved that Li Linghai was not lying.

Li Linghai had excavated a lot of treasures from the tomb of the Supreme Emperor, such as 'Emperor Flame Beads'. In fact, they were all retrieved from the forward operating base. They were all pure gold and could not be faked.

But right now, right in front of Li Yao's eyes, the forward base of the Supreme Emperor Era, as well as the forward base that Li Linghai established in order to explore the tomb of the Supreme Emperor, were all gone. Or rather, it had been swallowed by the primitive forest.

It was a clear blue sky with white clouds. Yet, Li Yao felt gloomy and miserable.

"Ding Lingdang, Li Linghai, Boss Bai, Long Yangjun!"

Li Yao screamed hysterically in the communication channel.

However, noises were echoing nonstop in the communication channel. The interference was too serious.

The magnetic field here was in an extremely disordered and disordered state. Even the electromagnetic frequency was fluctuating. It did not seem to be a natural magnetic field at all. Not only was it difficult to conduct electromagnetic or electromagnetic communication, it was also hundreds of times more difficult to manipulate spiritual energy and trigger spiritual flames. In other words, any expert who came to this place would be significantly weakened.

"It doesn't make sense. It's been less than thirty years since Li Linghai last visited the tomb. How could such drastic changes have taken place in the tomb in such a short time?"

Li Yao pondered for a long time before he turned around and asked Black Wing, "Little Black, if you were really brought out of this place by foster father a hundred years ago, then do you still remember what this place was like? It was also like today… lush, verdant, primitive, and boundless?"

Black Wing desperately flapped its wings as a crooked "8" flew out.

Li Yao and Black Wing had known each other for a long time. He immediately knew that Little Black was expressing 'no'. "No. In other words, Li Linghai was not lying. There were indeed a lot of man-made traces inside the tomb of the Supreme Emperor. There were not so many… animals and plants in the forward operating base left by the Supreme Emperor."

This time, Little Black drew a giant circle to express its affirmation. "Then what's going on? Where did Ding Lingdang, Li Linghai, Boss Bai, and Long Yangjun go? Those people are all seasoned warriors. They cannot have been swallowed by the forest without leaving anything behind. Also, what about their starships? Li Linghai said that the entrance of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor could accommodate warships several kilometers long. There were no traces of starships outside, either. Therefore, they must've driven dozens of starships in. Where are they hiding?"

Ten thousand question marks popped up in Li Yao's head.

Naturally, his first thought was that Lu Qingchen had set up a trap inside the tomb of the Supreme Emperor and killed Ding Lingdang and Li Linghai.

However, Lu Qingchen had left the five supreme battle fortresses outside. Li Yao did not think that he had the capability to annihilate Ding Lingdang, Li Linghai, Li Jialing, Yan Liren, Boss Bai, and Long Yangjun's splendid lineup without alarming anyone.

Even if a fierce battle had taken place, the traces had already been swallowed by the crazily growing plants.

So

Li Yao sighed and looked at the world in confusion.

Then, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Li Yao discovered something. Something terrible, serious, and weird.

The entrance to the tomb was gone.
