Prime Originator

Chapter 700 - Eternal Night Demon Emperor

Aria and Darlene shortly appeared beside Leon before they glanced inside the tomb entrance curiously.

"To think that the tomb entrance was this close to us. With this much distance between us, we could have broken inside with force if we knew," Aria said with surprise.

??

"Un, yeah," Leon nodded before he suddenly said, "Except, like I said earlier, there could be hidden mechanisms to destroy the tomb if we had forced our way in."

"In the records of tomb raiding, the instances of hidden tombs collapsing due to forceful entries that do not conform with the rules of the tomb are quite common."

"True…" Aria nodded.

There does seem to be information such cases within Aria White's memories as she silently perused them.

"These fallen experts are already dead, yet they go through to such lengths just to keep others from getting their hands on their treasures. I must say that they must have all been greedy people when they were alive," Aria spat.

Leon smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps."

"However, some of these tombs are designed with challenging trials—not to keep others away from their treasures but to find successors worthy of inheriting them."

"Anyway, let us head inside and see what awaits us ahead," Leon shortly urged.

"Mm."

"Okay!"

The party of three shortly took the flight of stairs leading down into the darkness of the tomb entrance.

Swish, swish~!

Two rows of green ghostfire suddenly burst into life, hovering on either side eerily and illuminated the passage while giving it an ominous and gloomy vibe the moment they step foot inside.

Darlene subconsciously moved closer to Leon and held onto the right side of his clothes.

When Aria noticed this small action of hers, even though she was not afraid, she also moved closer held the left side of Leon's clothes.

At the same time, Leon glanced left and right at these two before he smiled wryly without speaking a word, thinking it was not a good situation to say anything.

In another part of the Eternal Night Secret Realm, the surroundings were similarly filled with Nethergrass across the field.

However, the Battle God Palace group in the area headed north under the lead of their young master, passing several tombstones that did not seem of interest to them—or at least, to their young master.

"Young Master, these are all tombs with hidden treasures inside of them. Are we going to ignore them all?" an Extremity-rank Battle Master asked, seemingly reluctant to leave so many goods behind and unexcavated.

"According to the palace's records, these tombs only belong to the lowest level of demon servants and subordinates that followed the Eternal Night Demon Emperor. Therefore, there's no need to waste our time on their tombs," Zion stated calmly with hands linked behind his back.

When the Extremity-rank Battle Master heard this, he smiled wryly.

"Even the lowest level of demon servants and subordinates under the Eternal Night Demon Emperor were all Arch Demons, Young Master," the Extremity-rank Battle Master mentioned.

However, the young master remained uninterested.

"The inheritance of Arch Demons are only worth looking into if you only want to reach the Battle King Realm. However, my ambition is much greater than that. Only a Demon Lord-level tomb or higher will interest me."

"Since there is someone back at the Battle God Palace who seeks to harm me, it is imperative that I grow much stronger—as to not fall for their schemes again. These Arch Demon-level tombs are only a waste of my time and talents," Zion stated, narrowing his eyes with a cold glint.

He had always been well-behaved and friendly to everyone in the Battle God Palace, yet he was still harmed by someone, whether it was due to jealousy of his talents or for something much bigger.

Either way, the person was malicious and had to pay for their deeds.

"Young Master is right," the Extremity-rank Battle Master was surprised before he nodded subserviently in agreement and said, "It was this subordinate who was being short-sighted."

"Each time the Eternal Night Secret Realm is opened, the amount of time spent inside is all different. However, one thing we can be sure about is that our time here is limited. As such, we should be going after the best treasures and resources here."

"Right," another Extremity-rank Battle Master agreed before mentioning, "We also have the demons to worry about. If they find the Demon King-level tombs or even the Eternal Night Demon Emperor's tomb first, we would not be able to get close."

"But if the Demon King-level and Demon Emperor-level tombs are all surrounded by demons, we will not be able to escape. We might even be forced to leave empty-handed if they get there first," said an Extremity-rank Battle Master wearing a horned helmet.

The Extremity-rank Battle Masters began debating between the pros and cons of going after the highest level tombs back and forth while their young master listened silently.

"Enough."

After some time, Zion demanded silence before the group of Extremity-rank Battle Masters quickly stopped speaking and shifted their attention to their young master.

"It seems that promised treasures within this Eternal Night Secret Realm have blinded you all from the most important point here," Zion gazed at his subordinates solemnly with the flair of a natural leader.

"It's not up for debate whether we are going for the highest level tombs or not. We ARE going for them. Do not forget that we are from the Battle God Palace, the strongest power in the Infertile Plains."

"While it is not our duty to safeguard humanity, I do believe we all have a certain level of responsibility to carry it out. As such, we are not just going after the Eternal Night Demon Emperor's inheritance. We are also trying to stop the demons from claiming it and become a huge threat to everyone! Understood?!"

"Yes, Young Master!" the group of Extremity-rank Battle Masters answered in unison with respect and veneration after they were enlightened.

Their young master understood the bigger picture.
