I'm not just human!

Chapter 380 Another strongest certificate of eternity? Acquired! A massive boost to Xia Fa!

Chapter 380 Another strongest certificate of eternity? Got it! A huge boost for Xia Fa!

"What are the conditions?"

Xia Fa asked directly through his spiritual intuition. Since he was now the only junior member of the "Gluttons" on the surface, he figured it wouldn't hurt to agree on behalf of his elders as long as the conditions weren't too outrageous.

Moreover, this can in turn make the fanatical tomb raiders feel that the "Glutton" values ​​them.

The fanatical tomb raider asked with considerable surprise, "Aren't you going to use some secret technique to contact Lord Gluttony? Can you really make decisions for him?"

Xia Fa smiled and said, "I'll ask him for help when the time comes. As long as it's not too difficult, it's always possible."

The fanatical tomb raider remained silent for a moment: "[Absolute Attack] Little brother, is Lord Gluttony your father or grandfather?"

Xia Fa pretended to choke and coughed twice: "Cough cough, this, um—"

The fanatical tomb raider chuckled, as if suddenly understanding something: "Then I'm relieved, I'm relieved. Actually, my matter isn't difficult; it just requires the assistance of Lord Gluttony's rules. You should know that besides the 'Gluttony' rule, Lord Gluttony can also suppress loss of control, right?"

Xia Fa was taken aback, not expecting that the fanatical tomb raider would even know this.

But then he thought that perhaps the impact of the incident in the City of Ten Thousand Stars was too great. When he appeared in disguise as the "Glutton," he directly helped the millions of residents of the City of Ten Thousand Stars suppress the out-of-control effects brought about by that insane Bound Disciple.

In this situation, the entities of the Entity Redemption Society can easily figure it out with a little research.

Originally, Xia Fa was worried that he might not be able to do what the fanatical tomb raider asked the Glutton to do, such as killing some enemy with the strength of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable or Celestial Venerable. But now it seems that if it is just about suppressing the loss of control, it will be easy to handle. He can just rely on the strange current at the spine and tail.

So, Xia Fa said with certainty, "Yes, when I tried to ascend to godhood, it was my grandfather—um—Lord Glutton who helped me suppress my loss of control."

The fanatical tomb raider pretended not to hear Xia Fa's slip of the tongue, but felt even more certain that the matter was settled. So he smiled and said, "That's good, haha. In about a month, I might try to break through to the Quasi-Celestial Venerable level. When that happens, please ask the Glutton to help me suppress the tendency to lose control during the ascension."

Seemingly worried that the request might be too troublesome, the fanatical tomb raider immediately added, "Don't worry, I can control most of it myself. I'm just afraid that something might go wrong at a crucial moment. It's like asking Lord Gluttony to protect me. I have no choice. Among us, only Lord Gluttony has the ability to suppress things from getting out of control."

"All I need to do is intervene at the crucial moment—" Xia Fa thought for a moment, then, finding no major problems, immediately agreed: "Okay, don't worry, if it's just this kind of situation, Lord Gluttony will definitely agree, I guarantee it!"

The fanatical tomb raider chuckled contentedly, "Then thank you very much, little brother [Absolute Attack]. Don't worry, I'll definitely capture this Mystic Spirit transformed from 'Iron-Blooded Conqueror Paul'."

The two were communicating through spiritual intuition when suddenly, the flying figure of the fanatical tomb raider stopped.

As soon as he stopped, Xia Fa immediately followed suit, and the Crimson Demon Tree and the Philosophy Pencil also stopped instantly.

"What's wrong, big brother, you avid tomb raider?"

The Crimson Demon Tree, ever opportunistic, stopped calling him "Sir" and started calling him "Big Brother" after seeing that he had fought alongside the fanatical tomb raiders.

The avid tomb raider didn't care at all; in fact, he quite enjoyed it. However, when it came to tomb raiding, he kept a serious expression. After grunting "hmm," he immediately said, "We're outside the main tomb."

Main burial chamber?

Everyone was shocked, and at the same time, they admired the tomb raiders' skills even more.

After all, everyone is currently only on that upward tomb passage, surrounded by bare ground with no mechanisms, traces, or murals. Yet, the avid tomb raiders have already discovered the location of the main burial chamber.

If it weren't for the avid tomb raiders, everyone might have just kept flying upwards and missed it.

Of course, if it weren't for the fanatical tomb raiders—in fact, they wouldn't have come down to this extremely dangerous quasi-celestial tomb.

In the utter silence, even the Crimson Demon Tree dared not breathe, holding its breath as it watched the frenzied tomb raiders' next move.

The avid tomb raider took out his treasure-hunting compass again, and after just a quick glance at it from left to right, he aimed it at the south-facing position.

Then, he gripped the pickaxe in his hand and slammed it down on the smooth, fleshy wall.

Despite his large movements, the sound of his tap was minimal, and the fleshy wall instantly turned into gray bricks and tiles, looking quite ancient.

Xia Fa understood that this was the "tomb raiding" rules of a fanatical tomb raider at work, directly changing the material of the tomb passage walls. This tactic was extremely useful when encountering unknown risks.

The avid tomb raider then carefully took out a syringe, which looked like a miniature telescope, and inserted it directly into the gaps between the gray bricks and tiles, seemingly to gain access to the main burial chamber and begin his observation.

Perhaps because of their encounter with the exceptionally powerful Star Spirit, everyone was involuntarily trembling with fear as they approached the main tomb chamber. They dared not disturb the fanatical tomb raider and simply waited quietly for his next instructions.

A few seconds passed, but it felt like hours. Finally, the fanatical tomb raider pulled out the needle-like telescope from the crack in the gray bricks, turned around, and silently nodded to the three of them, indicating that it was still relatively safe inside.

Seeing this, the Scarlet Demon Tree and the others breathed a sigh of relief, while the fanatical tomb raider casually smeared a perfectly round hole in the gray brick wall.

He once again took the lead, stepping directly into the tunnel and crawling inside. The Crimson Demon Tree and the Philosophy Pencil immediately followed, with Xia Fa close behind.

Finally, after crawling through the tomb robber's hole, everyone saw the magnificent scenery of the main tomb chamber of this quasi-celestial being's tomb.

Surprisingly, the main burial chamber is shaped like a peach, and of course, it is still very, very large, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The peach-shaped main burial chamber was divided into several parts by towering walls, but perhaps due to the passage of time, most of these walls had collapsed.

Therefore, everyone could immediately spot the coffin in the very center of the main burial chamber between the collapsed high walls.

The coffin did not appear to be large, similar to the coffins used for ordinary human beings. It was entirely black and gold in color, and its surface was decorated with two major star charts, "Ling Tian" and "Shen Nie," composed of ancient esoteric script.

The Lingtian Star Chart, at first glance, seems like a vast, desolate sky, but there is a figure standing beneath it, with his hands raised, receiving the pattering raindrops.

As for the image of this divine monster, it is quite terrifying. It is a picture of an infant covered with pustules and with an unusually large head, sitting on a river and dancing.

That river represents the "River of Time," which is the mist of time.

It is said that 30,000 years ago, during the age of magicians, the origin and destination of time was the River of Time. However, due to that great event, not only was the Celestial Spirit Realm created, but the River of Time was also transformed into the Gray Mist of Time.

This enormous baby, covered in pustules and with an unusually large head, sat on the river of time, dancing and gesturing, naturally celebrating its newborn birth.

This also represents the tomb owner's wish to be reborn through a process of transformation from a corpse, even if the one who comes back to life is not actually himself.

Just then, the Philosophy Pencil pondered and said, "It looks like a coffin made of Shadow Gold mixed with a lot of Primordial Explosion Secret Uranium. Both the coffin and the two star charts on it are of great research value. Can I have it? I don't want the rest."

The Crimson Demon Tree remained silent. Ever since obtaining that incomplete ancient treasure, it had lost the right to distribute the remaining spoils.

The fanatical tomb raider then looked at Xia Fa, seeking his opinion.

Xia Fa thought for a moment. The Primal Explosion Secret Uranium corresponds to the "Primal Stomach" overlord-level secret contract. Moreover, the Primal Explosion Secret Uranium, which has been contaminated by the corpse of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable for at least ten thousand years, probably can't be absorbed anymore.

As for integrating it into his own [Ancient Treasure: Rhine Dawn Blade Armor], that's even more impossible. Crafting treasures always requires a sense of proportion, and rashly integrating more Primal Explosion Uranium would only damage it.

So Xia Fa shrugged and said, "I have no objection, you can take it, senior."

The fanatical tomb raider said seriously, "Well, in this way, both the [Crimson Demon Tree] and the [Philosophy Pencil] got what they wanted. As for the remaining loot, unless it's something exceptionally valuable, I'll split it equally with [Absolute Attack]. You guys have no objections, right?"

Both the Crimson Magic Tree and the Philosophy Pencil expressed their agreement, and both seemed quite satisfied.

If it weren't for the fact that they would need the help of the fanatical tomb raider to get out, they would really like to leave this quasi-celestial tomb right now.

Of course, the coffin that [Philosophy Pencil] wanted has not actually been obtained yet, which is one of the reasons.

Seeing that no one objected, the avid tomb raider grunted and took the lead, bypassing the collapsed or weathered high walls, and heading towards the black gold coffin in the center of the main burial chamber.

This time, everyone wisely chose not to go. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals, especially since this person was someone who had mastered the rules of "tomb raiding".

In both the real world and the Celestial Spirit Realm, the only ones more professional than the fanatical tomb raiders are probably the Celestial Venerable [Apostle of Knowledge] and the True God [Error Rules].

Of course, if there is danger, the group will still be responsible for fighting, but if there is no danger, they can just watch the fanatical tomb raiders do their thing.

As the coffin was about to be opened, and it was the coffin of a quasi-celestial being, the fanatical tomb raider seemed to thoroughly enjoy the work. As soon as he reached the black gold coffin, a smile appeared on his face.

Above his head, the physical treasure, the golden coffin, immediately appeared, its body turned upside down, and aligned with the black gold coffin.

Immediately afterwards, the golden coffin began to tremble slightly.

The black gold coffin remained unmoved, seemingly unaffected.

The avid tomb raider remained expressionless, as if he had expected it all along. He stepped forward, marking the three astrological positions of "Conjunction," "Separation," and "Opposition."

At that moment, a large number of ancient runes suddenly emerged from his body. The sheer number of runes was like a swarm of bees, all of them burrowing into the golden coffin.

Even the Philosophy Pencil was somewhat dazzled by it, and as for Xia Fa, several strange currents even emerged from his spine, offsetting the knowledge pollution caused by seeing too many obscure and profound ancient esoteric texts.

However, precisely because of this, he was able to discern the meanings of some of the ancient cryptic texts.

"To break the ritual by separating the parts, to gather the secret texts by combining them, and to open the coffin by facing each other?"

"The power of the spirits, capable of reversing divine calamities?"

"What do you mean?"

Xia Fa admitted that his research on astrology was far too little. He was not a signatory to any secret treaties on rituals and magic arrays, and he had never robbed a tomb before, so he had hardly ever come into contact with them.

Just as the ancient inscriptions that had been extracted from the bodies of the fanatical tomb raiders poured into the golden coffin, the coffin began to shake violently, with the lid constantly striking the body of the coffin with a thumping sound.

The black gold coffin below was finally affected and began to shake, and the shaking became more and more intense.

boom!

With a loud bang, countless layers of ritual formations appeared on the black gold coffin in an instant, only to shatter all at once.

boom!

With another loud bang, countless ancient inscriptions overflowed from the black gold coffin and were completely absorbed by the golden coffin.

boom!

With the third loud bang, this time, many strange scenes appeared around the black gold coffin. There were giant octopus-like monsters coiling and attacking, pale white faces silently opening their mouths to utter all sorts of curses, and countless mechanical creations appearing in the void, only to vanish in an instant.

"This quasi-celestial being has really gone to great lengths to protect his coffin. If it weren't for the presence of the fanatical tomb raider, even the most skilled tomb raider from our Philosopher's Attendant might have fallen into his trap."

[Philosophy Pencil] I was amazed by what I read. He was clearly forced to go into the tomb, but he was becoming more and more impressed with this fanatical tomb raider.

Xia Fa also noticed something amiss. Whether it was the layers upon layers of ritual formations, the various ancient inscriptions, or those terrifying and bizarre scenes, they were all traps or methods set up by this quasi-celestial being, specifically to prevent tomb raiders.

Unfortunately, He encountered a physical, fanatical tomb raider who had mastered the rules of "tomb raiding," and he directly cracked the entire system using the physical treasure, the golden coffin.

"Alright, come over here. Let's all see how many good things this quasi-Celestial Venerable has prepared for himself, especially whether he has prepared proof of eternity."

The avid tomb raider then turned around, a clear smile on his face.

Just seeing his expression, especially so different from his previous seriousness, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that there was probably no danger.

So, they all flashed to the side of the black gold coffin.

The avid tomb raider then groped around on the coffin lid with both hands, and then, as if he had found a key, he slapped the coffin with one hand, and rivets immediately popped out of the coffin.

Xia Fa noticed that there were exactly seventy-seven, which matched the number of the celestial constellations.

Then, the fanatical tomb raider pushed with both hands and opened the coffin lid.

Even the most composed person among them, "Philosophy Pencil," couldn't hold back any longer. The book around his neck immediately flew up into the air and peered into the coffin.

Xia Fa naturally wouldn't pretend to be reserved, and he also looked at the coffin. Fortunately, he was quite tall in his Chaos Throne state, more than three meters high, so he could see it with just a peek.

But immediately, everyone present, including the fanatical tomb raider, was stunned.

"What's going on here?"

The Crimson Demon Tree murmured, as if it could hardly believe what it was seeing.

Inside the coffin, there were first and foremost secret contracts piled up. There were more than ten overlord-level secret contracts, but they were all from the "Primordial Stomach," "Star Spirit Master," and "Forge of All Things," with several of each.

In addition, countless high-level and ordinary secret contracts were stacked in a circle like piles of paper, all made of animal hide, and the hides chosen were very thin, seemingly just for easy stacking.

With just a glance, Xia Fa spotted items such as "Ancient Demon Blood Secret," "Master of Astrology," "Swift Wind and Chaotic Shadows," and "Mountain Demon Devouring."

Advanced secret contracts such as "Blood Sea Source Eye" and ordinary secret contracts such as "Tentacle Secret Contract" and "Ice Secret Contract".

At the center of the tightly packed circle of items was a high-quality black bag, a toothbrush, and a piece of iron ore.

This black bag is actually woven from mithril mixed with eternal vortex silicon-aluminum metal threads. The black bag itself is probably worth more than 20 million gold pounds.

As for the toothbrush and the iron ore—Xia Fa clearly felt that the toothbrush gave him a very attractive and intimate feeling, while the iron ore gave him a very repulsive and disgusting feeling.

"There really are two kinds of eternal certificates? However, I can only use one of them—"

The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before Xia Fa turned his attention to the real issue.

The opened black gold coffin was completely empty, containing nothing but the secret contract and the black bag—two tokens of eternity!

That's right, and most importantly, the corpse of that quasi-celestial being was nowhere to be found!

The black gold coffin looked exceptionally clean and tidy, as if no corpse had ever been placed inside it.

This matter is far too bizarre and defies common sense. In this quasi-Celestial Venerable's tomb, disguised as "Lingtian" and with "Divine Evil" as its main burial layout, the body of the tomb's occupant has vanished from the sole coffin in the main burial chamber, despite everything being prepared.

For no apparent reason, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, a cold sweat running down their backs, and a general sense of dread.

Even the most avid tomb raiders were immediately alarmed; their expressions changed drastically, their brows furrowing in a grave expression: "No, no, something's missing, something very important has been overlooked—"

【Crimson Demon Tree】is a bold and straightforward person. Without thinking, he asked, "What was overlooked? Could it be that this quasi-celestial being has already turned into a corpse, but did not ascend to the next level and ran away on his own?"

"Such a thing is possible. If it is just a simple corpse transformation, then it has become a being in the realm of the dead. Although it is still a quasi-celestial being, it may be directly controlled and unable to resist when it encounters the holder of the Eternal Certificate such as [Eternal Death], [Eternal Corpse Transformation], [Eternal Undead], etc."

Not to mention, the undead creatures transformed from the corpses of quasi-celestial beings—whether in the first 20,000 years when the Nine Great Gods ruled the entire universe, or in the third 30,000 years when the false Nine Great Gods appeared, such extremely dangerous beings would be immediately eliminated.

[Philosophy Pencil] then said somewhat speechlessly, "How is that possible? If it really was that quasi-Celestial Venerable who transformed into a corpse and escaped, how come this black gold coffin is still intact?"

The Crimson Demon Tree suddenly seemed to realize something: "That makes sense!"

Xia Fa was also pondering. The main reason was that he was in the tomb of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable, but he couldn't see the body of this Quasi-Celestial Venerable. The thought of this was terrifying. If he couldn't find out the reason, he had no idea what kind of danger he would encounter next.

Involuntarily, the various events that had occurred since he entered this quasi-celestial tomb flashed through his mind.

Each side room was exactly the same, and all were made of piles of flesh and blood, and all were empty.

A tomb passage stained with black blood, its walls flanked by side chambers like these—

The oval-shaped side chamber was covered in wrinkled, fleshy tissue, and submerged in a ghastly green, highly corrosive acid.

This oval-shaped burial chamber leads only to the upper passageway.

And, in the middle section of this smooth passageway leading upwards, once broken open, you'll find the main burial chamber, a peach-shaped main burial chamber—

Furthermore, within this peach-shaped main burial chamber, there are several areas separated by high walls—

All the clues, all the encounters, all the things seen and heard, all came together in Xia Fa's mind at this moment.

"Cells, blood vessels, blood, stomach, gastric juice, esophagus, heart, ventricles —"

As he pondered, he uttered these medical terms.

"What did you say?"

The Crimson Demon Tree seemed completely oblivious and moved closer to Xia Fa: "Little brother, are you about to lose control?"

"What did you say?"

The fanatical tomb raider suddenly turned around, his eyes gleaming, and looked at Xia Fa.

Xia Fa repeated it again: "Cells, blood vessels, blood, stomach, gastric juice, esophagus, heart, ventricles — this place is..."

thump!

thump!

thump!

At that moment, a tremendous heartbeat resounded, as if the entire peach-shaped main burial chamber was shaking.

The collapsed high walls, as if engorged with blood, began to grow upwards, quickly connecting to the ceiling of the main burial chamber, and indeed, they took on a pinkish hue.

The floor, ceiling, and walls of the main burial chamber vibrated in rhythm with the heartbeat, contracting and expanding intermittently.

A thunderous roar, like the rushing of a river, emanated from beneath their feet, carrying with it the sweet, pungent smell of blood.

Accompanying all this was an extremely powerful yet strangely peculiar death aura, as well as the aura of a quasi-Celestial Venerable transforming into a Celestial Venerable, which permeated from all directions.

"This tomb—this tomb is the very corpse of that quasi-Celestial Being! Because of our entry, He is about to undergo a transformation and ascend to a higher realm!"

The fanatical tomb raider finally made his judgment. With a single scoop, he scooped up all the treasures from the black gold coffin. At the same time, he threw the toothbrush-shaped token of eternity directly to Xia Fa, and then let out a loud shout!

"run!"

The golden coffin opened, sucking Xia Fa, the Crimson Demon Tree, and the Philosophy Pencil all inside. The fanatical tomb raider also rushed in. With a "bang," the golden coffin slammed shut.

At that moment, everyone clearly felt that streams of blood, like rivers, gushed up from below the main burial chamber, and the golden coffin instantly transformed into a small boat, floating on the sea of ​​blood.

"Once this quasi-Celestial Venerable truly undergoes a transformation and ascends to the Celestial Venerable realm, we will all be absorbed as nourishment during his transformation. The most urgent matter now is to escape, to escape first!"

The fanatical tomb raider spoke urgently, glancing at the three men at the same time.

"Everyone, I need your help. Just pour divine power into my body."

None of the three asked any further questions; each of them extended a hand and placed it on the back of the fanatical tomb raider.

The Crimson Demon Tree and the Philosophy Pencil immediately sensed an extremely powerful suction force coming from the back of the fanatical tomb raider. The immense power of the Outer God within them instantly flooded into the fanatical tomb raider's body.

Xia Fa's hand had just touched the back of the fanatical tomb raider when the fanatical tomb raider seemed to sense something, let out a "Huh," and turned his head.

"You're wearing a rope of flesh and blood for survival? You actually have such a treasure?!"

The fanatical tomb raider's expression clearly brightened with surprise, as if he had found a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.

Xia Fa immediately replied, "Yes, it was given to me by a senior, this rope of flesh and blood for survival—"

As he spoke, he pulled out the flesh-and-blood survival rope hidden in his platinum arm and handed it directly to the fanatical tomb raider.

The fanatical tomb raider took it with one hand, his eyes shining, and said, "This is a good thing! It's a sealed treasure that can only be formed by chance in an extremely unique tomb environment. With this thing, we can at least escape without any problem. The only question is whether we can escape the pursuit of this quasi-celestial being who is about to successfully transform into a zombie and ascend to the next level."

With a casual flick of his wrist, the rope of flesh and blood, like a whip, snapped in the air with a loud crack, then twisted and rose like a snake, merging into the golden coffin.

Although they were confined inside the golden coffin, their spiritual intuition could still extend outwards, allowing them to be alert to potential dangers at any time.

At that very moment, everyone, including Xia Fa, clearly sensed that the outside of the golden coffin was wrapped with a thick hemp rope, as thick as an elephant's leg. The thick hemp rope extended straight up, reaching the main tomb chamber's blood-red ceiling.

Immediately, the thick hemp rope, seemingly from nowhere, suddenly pulled upwards.

It felt as if an invisible giant had used this rope to lasso the golden coffin containing everyone and was pulling it with all his might!

A strong sense of weightlessness surged up, and Xia Fa felt himself rising rapidly inside the golden coffin, smashing through layers of flesh and blood barriers.

These fleshy barriers had actually come to life long ago, expanding and contracting at their own frequencies. Some of the flesh or blood had transformed into tentacles, trying to entangle the golden coffin, but to no avail.

With a loud "thump," as if they had crashed through some kind of extremely hard bone wall, the thick smell of blood vanished instantly, and Xia Fa and the others inexplicably felt refreshed.

That was the aura of the Protoss Realm, filled with extraordinary power, that I was breathing again.

With a snap, the golden coffin lid opened.

Xia Fa finally got a clear look at the exterior of this quasi-celestial being's tomb.

In the vibrant, oil-painting-like starry sky, amidst countless phantom planets and wandering celestial spirits, there stood a stone sphere comparable in size to a planet.

At first glance, the stone sphere looked like a dodecahedron, with each face displaying a dark gold color and covered with all sorts of strange murals carved on it.

Strangely, only half of this planet-sized dodecahedral stone sphere is exposed in the Protoss Realm, while the other half seems to be hidden in the void.

The next moment, the surface of the stone ball began to crack, and stone slabs fell off one by one.

The massive, planet-like stone sphere quickly had its outer shell peeled away completely, revealing a three-headed giant sleeping soundly with his knees drawn up inside.

Or rather, it's not in a deep sleep, but already dead, but about to undergo a transformation and be upgraded!

The giant was as large as a planet, with grayish-black skin. It not only had three heads, but each head also had three eyes, with an extra one on its forehead.

However, the head in the middle of the sleeve had a small hole in the top of its head, which was the place where the golden coffin containing everyone had flown out.

Just then, the three giants awoke, or rather, completely transformed into zombies, raising their three heads and turning towards Xia Fa and the others.

In that instant, Xia Fa felt a sudden pain in his spine, and an unimaginable amount of strange electric current surged forth, coursing through his entire body, with most of it merging into his cerebral cortex.

This allowed Xia Fa to avoid the consequences of losing control before he even felt them. However, the Crimson Demon Tree and the Philosophy Pencil were not so lucky.

The quasi-Celestial Venerable who was undergoing a transformation from a corpse to a Celestial Venerable only glanced in their direction, and the two Outer Gods suddenly let out a wail and clutched their heads.

Cracks opened in the trunk-like body of the Crimson Demon Tree, and countless white maggots began to emerge. At the same time, fruits began to sprout from the branches and leaves, each fruit resembling a heart, constantly pulsating and emitting an eerie gray-black aura.

As for the "philosophy pencil," it's the pencil that replaces the head, scribbling randomly on the book. Although it looks like random scribbling, it draws the likeness of the three giants.

Only the fanatical tomb raiders could barely hold on, but their faces were turning pale, almost ashen.

Almost before anyone could react, the three-headed giants seemed to have sensed something, roared, and reached out to grab them.

The palm was simply overwhelming, and under the pressure of the Quasi-Celestial Venerable, neither Xia Fa, nor the Crimson Demon Tree, nor the Philosophy Pencil could move at all.

The fanatical tomb raider acted decisively, raising his pickaxe and striking his sleeve.

The hand instantly transformed into the gray brickwork of the tomb, and a large hole was immediately punched through it, through which the group of people passed.

"ah!!!!!"

At that moment, the Crimson Demon Tree let out an even more tragic wail. Its legs, which were originally like tree trunks, sprouted white roots from the soles of its feet, and its body was growing stronger. It seemed that it was about to completely lose control and turn into a large tree!

Although the three giants' attacks didn't hit many people, the uncontrollable effects of their hands whistling past were already unbearable for everyone!

The fanatical tomb raider then took a few quick steps, heading towards the directions of "Horned Constellation," "Spirit Heaven," and "Grain God." His aura suddenly surged, and with a casual wave of his hand, he sent Xia Fa and the other two into the golden coffin, about to close the lid.

"You all go first, I'll hold Him off!"

Before the fanatical tomb raider could finish speaking, the three-headed giant grabbed him again, its hands covering the sky and the sun. This time, all sorts of strange phenomena appeared in its palms, all of which were the abilities of the secret contracts it had signed!

The fanatical tomb raider, however, had a resolute expression and stepped out of the three locations of "Divine Evil," "Great Cessation," and "Scorpion Palace" once again. A dense aura of death rose from his body, and his strength advanced further, actually approaching that of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable.

But the next moment, his expression completely changed.

In the distant starry sky of the Star Spirits, two dazzling lights flashed, accompanied by countless points of light, like shooting stars with trailing tails, and flew swiftly toward the three-headed giants.

Those were—two kinds of eternal certificates and a total of thirty secret contracts, two of which were hegemon-level secret contracts!

This was the true trump card of this quasi-celestial being. In addition to the Eternal Certificate and Secret Contract placed in the main tomb chamber, he also hid the Eternal Certificate and Secret Contract in other places!

In the blink of an eye, these two eternal credentials and the thirty secret contracts were all integrated into his body.

boom!!!

Even though His hand hadn't yet caught the fanatical tomb raider, His aura had already changed from that of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable to that of a Celestial Venerable!

This quasi-Celestial Venerable, who had been plotting for over ten thousand years, actually succeeded in his transformation from a corpse and ascended to the Celestial Venerable level! He has become one of the few Celestial Venerable-level beings of this era!

Xia Fa's heart sank. Although the fanatical tomb raider was a physical entity, if he were killed by a Celestial Venerable, he could not be resurrected by the rules of "tomb raiding" through the help of tomb raiders throughout the universe.

For some reason, the image of Pope Nidhogg's sacrifice resurfaced in my mind once again.

"No, no, no, no, no—"

Having experienced that, he never wants to see anyone or anything he cares about die again!

Absolutely not!

Inside the first and second heart, a burning sensation began to rise, as if kindling had been thrown in.

With a "boom," all the burning sensations burst forth, transforming into colorless, transparent flames that enveloped him.

At the same time, a thick, heavy dark gold color emerged from above his head and instantly covered his entire body.

Xia Fa suddenly regained his mobility, and stepped out of the coffin, his expression filled with determination.

He clenched his fists, and two horse-slaying swords appeared in his hands at the same time.

But it's not enough, far from enough.

Even so, he could only fight outer gods. To deal with a Celestial Venerable, especially one who had undergone a transformation from a corpse, was simply not enough for him to "Call Me—".

For some reason, a voice resounded in his spiritual intuition.

Who?

Xia Fa's gaze sharpened, but he saw no one or anything.

"Call me—"

The voice rang out once more, this time carrying a supreme and solemn meaning, like a majestic and sacred priest.

A name, a vague name, rose in Xia Fa's mind, but then immediately became clear.

The voice rang out again, as if responding to his premonition.

"Calling—my name—"

Xia Fa's mind seemed to go completely mad in that instant. A high-pitched chant burst forth from his throat, a chant that sounded like a mixture of countless men, women, old people, children, angels, and demons.

He called out that name with almost all his might.

"Powder!!!!!"

The next instant, the tall and mighty Iron-Blooded Conqueror Paul, clad in purple armor, appeared behind him, spread his arms, flew towards him, and merged with him.

At the same time, the toothbrush-shaped token of eternity flew out of the black bag on its own, as if it had been sensed by both Shafa and Paul, and flew directly into Shafa's vest.

boom-!!!

A terrifying aura rose up. Xia Fa gripped his saber tightly, his eyes flashing with fierce fighting spirit as he looked at the enormous hand that was already within reach.

"you----"

As if sensing something, the fanatical tomb raider turned around and was instantly terrified. In this life-or-death crisis, he didn't think twice and instantly teleported behind Xia Fa, pressing his palms hard against his back.

The immense power of the Outer God, a mixture of the fanatical tomb raider, the Crimson Demon Tree, and the Philosophy Pencil, instantly flowed into Xia Fa's veins and surged forth, merging into the colorless, transparent, flame-like burning sensation.

"Finally—enough—"

Xia Fa no longer hesitated and unleashed that strike.

Disaster cut off.

An incredibly dense black light rose simultaneously from both swords, instantly merging into a thin black line that shot out rapidly towards the giant gray hand!

The giant gray hand was split in two, but that wasn't all. Before the black thread was exhausted, it wrapped around the wrist again.

The giant gray hand was severed at the wrist, and thick aura of corpse transformation emanated from the cut as it plummeted into the Star Spirit Starry Sky below.

"Um?"

The three giants were clearly unprepared for this turn of events. They narrowed their eyes and looked at Xiafa.

At the same time, His severed wrist began to heal rapidly, growing a new hand, and even the destructive power of the Rhine Dawn Blade Armor had no effect.

"Wait, you're actually—"

The three giants seemed to have realized something; surprise appeared in all nine of their eyes, and then they shook their heads.

"Fine, since that's the case, I'll spare you this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swayed and stepped into the void, as if he were about to leave this place for good.

this----

Although Xia Fa was still barely conscious, the burning sensation was completely exhausted. Not only that, but his divine power and spiritual power were also depleted.

He watched incredulously as the planet-sized, three-headed giant stood up and actually stepped into the void.

The fanatical tomb raiders were dumbfounded. Their counterattack just now was a situation where, if they hadn't fought back, they would have been annihilated under the giant's massive hand.

Even if they retaliate, it only provides them with a brief respite.

But to his utter surprise, the three-headed giant who had successfully transformed into a zombie—actually left without a trace?

Why is that? What exactly did He see in the little brother [Absolute Attack]?

For some reason, the fanatical tomb raider looked at the back of [Absolute Attack].

It was three meters tall, platinum gold in color, covered with lightning-shaped scars, with a lion's mane around its neck, six golden wings, and legs like elephant legs.

"This junior of Lord Gluttony seems even more mysterious than Lord Gluttony himself—"

Xia Fa breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, this life-or-death crisis was finally over.

However, this three-headed giant always gave off an air of being anything but simple.

Putting everything else aside, how did he manage to keep all four kinds of eternal credentials sealed, and even summon them at the moment of their transformation and ascension?

Furthermore, what did He see in Himself that made Him give up on killing Him?

Of course, besides these, there is also a crucial question.

Xia Fa's spiritual intuition shifted, and he looked into his heart at the toothbrush-shaped token of eternity.

"Huh? It's actually—"
