Chapter 1042, Mysterious Pattern

Inside the underground palace, many warriors are waiting.

Suddenly, Zhou Yan rushed out from the depths of the underground palace, bringing up waves of smoke and dust.

"What about that person?"

Everyone's face changed drastically, and they stood up one after another, looking in the direction where Zhou Yan had just left.

All I saw were the steps leading to the underground palace, which had become potholed and full of cracks.

"Not good... this underground palace is probably about to collapse."

"Run..."

Everyone's heart beat wildly.

In the underground palace, there are too few grottoes for hiding. If the underground palace collapses, everyone will be buried here.

In an instant, everyone fled in all directions, looking for a grotto where they could shelter.

The underground palace trembled violently, as if there was an earthquake.

"Oops!"

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, this underground palace is really about to collapse.

"Here, it's too bad, I have to change to another underground palace to hide!"

He gritted his teeth, exercised enough skills, jumped out, and swept towards the distance.

The rest of the people also followed Zhou Yan and galloped all the way.

...

Tens of seconds later.

A hidden place in the underground palace.

Here, there used to be many grottoes, but now, a huge stone gate has been excavated.

On the stone gate, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, engraved with complex and mysterious patterns.

Zhou Yan pushed the door open and entered, suddenly an ancient vicissitudes of life came to his nostrils.

Here, it is an underground mausoleum with many coffins inside.

In the central area, there is a jade coffin with a length of nine meters, a width of about three meters and a thickness of about three meters.

On the jade coffin, countless obscure and mysterious symbols are engraved.

Zhou Yan observed carefully, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became: "These runes...are actually the legendary inscriptions of ancient sages!"

He recognized that this kind of sage inscription was the text left by the Holy Emperor, which contained the Holy Emperor's understanding of a certain order and rules, and it was powerful.

It is said that the holy emperor's inscriptions were born and formed by the holy emperor himself. A total of 999 pieces of the holy emperor's inscriptions are combined into a pattern.

And this pattern is the key to the Holy Emperor's Tomb.

Zhou Yan had seen records about the tomb of the Holy Emperor in historical materials.

Rumor has it that in the tomb of the Holy Emperor, a Gaidai Holy Emperor is buried. This is a supreme existence that governs all races.

It's a pity that with the passage of time, there is only an empty coffin left in the tomb of the Gaidai Holy Emperor.

Zhou Yan's eyes glowed with bright golden light, scanning the entire tomb of the Holy Emperor.

Suddenly, his eyes froze.

At the bottom of the nine-meter-long and wide jade coffin, there is a crystal clear crystal ball inlaid impressively.

Inside this crystal ball, a dazzling blue-purple light shone.

In this crystal ball, there seems to be a ray of bronze divine fire sealed, burning blazingly, releasing a terrifying temperature.

"Is this the key to the Holy Emperor's Tomb?"

Zhou Yan's eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab the crystal ball.

A dazzling cyan arc suddenly gushed out from the crystal ball and struck Zhou Yan's arm.

"Hmph! What's the point of being a mere Thunderbolt?"

Zhou Yan sneered, his physical body has already reached the perfection state, it can be called a steel and iron frame, and it is not damaged at all.

Bursts of thunder resounded.

Immediately afterwards, purple thunder snakes were cruising in the void.

Each of these Thunder Snakes has the terrifying power to kill Grandmaster Shenhou.

Zhou Yan waved his sharp claws and easily shredded the thunder snakes. His palm firmly held the crystal ball.

In an instant, cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal ball.

"Turn it on."

He whispered, mobilizing the true essence in his body.

The crystal ball vibrated, and there were more and more cracks on it, and finally...

There was a dull explosion, and the crystal ball collapsed, emitting endless blue light from it.

This blue light shines on the whole world.

"Roar!"

The next moment, bursts of roars of dragons and tigers resounded, shaking everyone's eardrums with pain and their heads in a daze.

The cyan brilliance filled the air, and thick and thick cyan chains drilled out from the depths of the ground and wrapped around everyone's ankles and waists.

In an instant, this space fell into chaos, everyone was tied up, and each one lost the power to resist.

"Damn it!"

"what happened?"

"I can't move at all!"

This group of people showed panic and struggled desperately, but it was still to no avail.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, we are all in an ambush!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"Huh? This is... the pattern!"

"This pattern has actually sealed this underground palace!"

Soon, everyone recognized that the pattern that restrained them was an ancient sealing pattern.

This kind of seal pattern is extremely powerful, even a grandmaster would never want to break free.

"Hahaha, we are all trapped!"

"This time, he is dead!"

"He still dared to follow us in, he was sending himself to death!"

Everyone became excited and looked at Zhou Yan with cold eyes, showing mocking and gloating expressions.

They were hunted down before, and they were extremely aggrieved. Seeing Zhou Yan trapped now, they couldn't bear it anymore, and felt happy.

"Huh? Why is this guy so calm?"

"This is the seal of the Holy Emperor, is there a way for him to break it?"

"He definitely doesn't understand formation patterns, as long as we hold him back, sooner or later the true energy in his body will be exhausted!"

Several people looked at each other, and they all saw the determination in each other's eyes.

"Hehehe, Zhou Yan, you are indeed very powerful, even, maybe even stronger than those gods!"

"But so what?"

"Today, even if the gods come, they can't save you!"

Everyone looked at Zhou Yan coldly.

They knew that Zhou Yan was practicing sage skills, and his combat power was extremely tyrannical. If he was allowed to escape, he would definitely become a terrible enemy in the future.

Therefore, they must take advantage of the present to kill Zhou Yan here.

In an instant, they used all their strength to attack Zhou Yan frantically.

However, Zhou Yan ignored them and went straight to the center of the Holy Emperor's Tomb, staring at the jade coffin.

"This tomb of the Holy Emperor is really extraordinary!"

Zhou Yan was amazed.

The Tomb of the Holy Emperor is magnificent and majestic, towering into the sky, like a huge mountain range.

Around the tomb, countless runes are engraved, intertwined into a network, covering the entire tomb.

"The tomb of the Holy Emperor contains the way of saints and sages. If you want to enter it, you can only activate this crystal ball."

Zhou Yan looked at the crystal ball, which was used by the Holy Emperor to protect the Holy Emperor's tomb.

"As expected of the Holy Emperor! Even if he sits down, there are still many arrangements."

He secretly admired.

This crystal ball, although I don't know what magical effect it has.

However, based on its importance alone, it can be seen that the Holy Emperor must be extraordinary.

"Perhaps, there is a secret hidden in this crystal ball, which can improve my strength a bit."

Zhou Yan's mind turned, and he immediately walked to the side of the jade coffin.

He reached out and slapped the jade coffin violently.

The wood of this jade coffin couldn't block his palm at all.

With just a few slaps, the jade coffin was blown apart.

And as the jade coffin shattered, a blood-red bead flew out of it.
