Chapter 2042 ā Tomb Doors
The other four sacred supremes remained seated in their positions, unmoving and devoid of any expression.
Uncontrollable jitters gripped the crowd after Lu Yun needed only a single blow to destroy the Northern Sacred Supremeās projection. Su Muzhou and Suiyue Jinghao fled in disarray, deeply afraid that Yun Tian would come for their heads next. They answered to the Cardinal Sacred Palace banner.
The young man had already declared war on the sacred palace. Any of its members that lingered did so with a death wish. Even representatives from the other four sacred palaces shook with apprehensionāparticularly those of the Northern Sacred Palace. Yun Tian shattering their leaderās projection meant a death feud between their sacred palace and the young man.
The key thing was that the Dragonquake Scripture safeguarded Yun Tian. He was invincible in the absence of a sacred supreme physically present at the tomb. No one dared to throw down the gauntlet.
Peace returned to the scene after the Northern Sacred Supremeās projection dispersed.
āAs I thought, itās still not enoughā¦ā Lu Yun sighed softly. The sacred supreme that heād just killed was a powerful feng shui master. But if it wasnāt for the Dragonspike Litany being too overwhelming, he wouldnāt have been a match for the elder.

He wouldāve lost the match in any other location. Since sacred supremes didnāt dare visit Ancestorās tomb, all of their weaknesses were fully exposed to Lu Yun here. That was why heād succeeded with one blow.
The same went for the Northern Sacred Supremeās projection.
No sacred supreme would be able to shift the layouts at the tomb so long as they werenāt here in person. Neither were they able to harm Lu Yun.
By now, the young man held no reservations and didnāt dither. He simultaneously deployed the Dragonsearch Invocation and Dragonshift Method to determine where the thiefās tunnel should be dug. Directing the dragons as his shovel, he excavated a deep passage that led underground.
His actions surprised the assembly. It wasnāt that they hadnāt thought of digging a tunnel into the tomb, but that only failures marked the board after people gave it a try.
Those that burrowed a tunnel into the ground died very grisly deaths. Seeing that, some employed earthen arts to transport themselves underground, but they met equally gruesome ends.
āWait, the tunnels they dug before were in the wrong spots!ā someone called out. āLegend has it that the Three Thousandās Dragonquake Scripture contains a secret art called the Dragonsearch Invocation. It can pinpoint direction, determine location, and gauge feng shui. This Yun Tian must be using it to identify the proper way to approach Ancestorās tomb!ā
He was an empyrean supremeāthe one that the Disordered Empyrean Supreme said came from the chief worlds.
The Daofire Empyrean Supreme.
But since heād been assimilated by the great daos of this world, his combat arts and dao methods had stagnated. They remained at the same level theyād been when he arrived as a peak grand supreme. Heād come to Ancestorās tomb to search for ways to improve.
Since heād become an empyrean supreme in this world, his own great dao had been sampled by the heaven and earth of the Three Thousand. That created another possibility for himābreak through to sacred supreme.
However, the Daofire Empyrean Supreme was an ambitious person. He didnāt want to become a sacred supreme while stuck in the stage of ethos. He wanted to proliferate his dao into all of creation and ascend at the peak of creation. That would make him the strongest heavyweight within this world.
After seeing how formidable the Dragonquake Scripture was, further thoughts flourished in his heart. If he could practice this method as wellā¦
Greed flashed through his eyes.
When it came to the Dragonquake Scripture, he didnāt share the same reservations held by the others. Although he was from the chief worlds, his great dao was part of this world now. Other than his heart and mind, everything about him was a denizen of the Three Thousand.
While the worldās inhabitants also couldnāt practice the method whenever they wished, the most that would happen was a failure to master the method. There would be no corresponding visitation of misfortune or disaster.
Thus, the Daofire Empyrean Supreme was confident in his chances and course of action. Having formed the intent, he shoved the impulse deep within his heart so he wouldnāt expose himself.
Lu Yun wasnāt the slightest bit interested in the empyrean supreme from the chief worlds and thus paid him no heed. The earth was trembling.
What was incomparably formidable terrain had a tunnel carved into it within a few breaths. It led straight to the tomb.
āHmm?ā Lu Yun paused. His dragons from the Dragonshift Method had split apart into pure energy. It seemed that theyād encountered something extremely hard. He opened the Spectral Eye and peered into the whole, seeing two bronze doors at the end of the tunnel.
Lu Yun went briefly slack-jawed. āLing Qu, letās go!ā
The Disordered Empyrean Supreme remained looking around.
Lu Yun resisted an eye roll and called again, āLing Qu!ā
She continued to be unresponsive.
āLing Qu!ā This time, Lu Yunās voice echoed in her mind.
āOh! Right, Iām Ling Qu.ā The empyrean supreme finally reacted and followed Lu Yun down.
The Daofire Empyrean Supreme followed them after one hundred breaths. He would have everything he wanted, whether it was knowledge and treasure in the tomb or Yun Tianās Dragonquake Scripture!
The rest of the crowd streamed in when no abnormal noises or developments came from below.
The bronze doors were shut, blocking the way. Lu Yun stared off into the air in front of them. He somehow found them familiar, but couldnāt think of where heād seen them before. The doors were just as durable as he thought. He tried to push them open, but failed to budge them.
These were plainly the tomb doors, but they were so sturdy and heavy that he couldnāt shift them, even with the dragons from the Dragonshift Method.
āNo, this isnāt right. According to my calculations, this is the weakest link of the tomb. Itās the safest area, so why is there a pair of such heavy doors here?ā Lu Yun murmured.
āThatās easy. It means these doors are the weakest thing in this tomb,ā the Disordered Empyrean Supreme answered.
āIs there a way in?ā she asked.
āYes,ā he replied confidently. āThe light of great dao! The doors are so sturdy that only the light of great dao from the sacred palace can destroy them. But I donāt know what will happen after theyāre gone.ā
Frowning, the Disordered Empyrean Supreme wondered, āIs there anything like a formation or something similar thatās controlling the doors?ā
āFormation? No,ā Lu Yun responded reflexively, then blinked with a sudden hunch.
He dismissed the Spectral Eye and gave up all cultivator instincts, returning to his origins. He put himself back in the mindset of the invincible commandant of tomb raiders on Earth, studying the doors from the perspective of a mortal tomb raider.
