Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 417: Turn Into Fiend Emperor

Alina quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, alright, what’s most important right now is entering the Imperial Tomb first."

Charlotte and Diana were both some of the world’s most powerful individuals. Even though they had constant petty arguments, it wouldn’t reach a point where they would forget more important matters.

Sharky quickly changed into a new set of clothes. The group coordinated what they were going to say, and they strutted over to the Imperial Tomb.

The group didn’t hide at all, so Ferry’s subordinates noticed them quickly. They all drew their weapons and surrounded them, calling out, "Show yourselves!"

Ferry, who was seated in front of the entrance in meditation, sneered. The Crown Prince had ordered him to guard the entrance precisely because he was worried that someone would try to interfere with the succession process.

Who would have thought that there really would be people who weren’t scared of death?

The Black Teeth race was going through some trouble. First, Ellis had been implicated in the crown prince’s assassination, almost shaving a layer of skin off the Black Teeth race.

Then, that grandson of his from a branch family, Jolly, had disappeared mysteriously. Every detail available about that event pointed at a disaster.

The key was that today, the crown prince hadn’t let Ellis follow him into the Imperial Tomb. Even though the crown prince had told him that he was the only person he trusted and that he needed help guarding the entrance.

Ferry knew that because of the assassination, the crown prince was already on guard against the Black Teeth race.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince had only brought his trusted aides, who had already served him for many years. Furthermore, whether it was intentional or not, everyone he had brought had lower cultivation than himself.

He was clearly worried that there could be something wrong with them; if that were the case, he would be able to subdue them at once.

Meanwhile, Ferry’s cultivation was higher, which was why the crown prince didn’t feel safe bringing him in as well.

Is the crown prince muddled? I’m his uncle! If he doesn’t trust me, who can he trust? He thought.

That was why he had been quite upset the entire time and wanted someone to take his anger out on. When he opened his eyes and saw Sharky, however, he almost pissed his pants.

He had been overbearing a moment before, but the next moment, he was already kneeling on the ground and calling out, "I greet your majesty the Fiend Emperor!"

The other guards also prostrated with fear, especially the ones who had shouted previously.

Sharky nodded and reached out his hand to gesture for them to stand up.

Diana said coldly, "Step aside; his majesty is going to enter." With her cultivation, mimicking the voice of a man wasn’t too difficult.

Even Charlotte nodded. Only this witch could speak in such a cold and dignified manner. If it were her or Alina, they couldn’t mimic such a proud and aloof nature.

Sure enough, when Diana spoke, Ferry’s subordinates moved aside out of shock. Even Ferry instinctively stepped aside.

Sharky nodded and walked in with an indifferent expression.

As he watched Sharky’s back recede, Ferry gritted his teeth and called out, "Wait!"

Sharky and the others were alarmed. Were there any openings somewhere?

Diana turned around and asked with a frown, "What is it?"

Ferry braced himself and said, "Your majesty, the crown prince is currently undergoing the trial of the previous Fiend Emperors’ heroic spirits. What is your majesty doing entering now?"

The question was something he had to ask because he was the Golden Crow Crown Prince’s uncle, the one who had been the most loyal to the crown prince’s faction for so many years. His own clan’s success depended greatly on the crown prince’s success.

The crown prince was undergoing his trial without any issues, and yet the Fiend Emperor had suddenly appeared. That was the greatest variable; who knew what he was thinking?

The Fiend Emperor’s doting on the Second Empress was something everyone knew about. There were even rumors that the Fiend Emperor had thought about passing on the throne to the Second Imperial Prince.

Unfortunately, the Second Imperial Prince was too young, and the Fiend Emperor couldn’t last that much longer. Thus, that hadn’t come true.

However, if the Fiend Emperor went in now, didn’t that mean the Fiend Emperor had still been bewitched by that lowly woman after all, and that he was going to change successors?

"Does his majesty need to explain his decisions to you?" Diana berated Ferry. One had to admit that her performance was already perfect.

Unfortunately, Ferry was also extremely sharp. He stared at Sharky with suspicion, asking, "Your majesty, why aren’t you speaking?"

The women all felt a Thud! go off in their minds. They hadn’t expected to not be able to avoid the problem in the end. It seemed they had to fight after all.

Charlotte and Diana exchanged a look. As old enemies, they had already developed a kind of tacit understanding. They communicated with their eyes that they would make their move together to see if they could instantly subdue the enemy.

Sharky turned around and gave Ferry a look. Ferry’s entire face immediately turned completely red, and he even began breathing heavily.

The three women thought that the man had seen some gaps and was about to make a move, but instead, Sharky was already taking large steps toward the Imperial Tomb.

The three women were stunned and quickly followed along. Meanwhile, Ferry didn’t do a thing the entire time, only standing there while shaking slightly, as if he had seen something infuriating, yet also terrifying.

---

When they entered the Imperial Tomb, Diana finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. She asked, "Sharky, why did he suddenly become obedient?"

Sharky’s expression became strange as he said, "It might be because he thinks that his own wife and the Fiend Emperor had an affair, and that the Fiend Emperor might silence him."

The three women were flabbergasted. What kind of reply was that?

How could they have known that in the moment of crisis, Sharky had looked towards him with disdain, after knowing that the Fiend Emperor had toyed with his wife.

In Ferry’s mind, the scene of the Fiend Emperor and his own wife going back and forth had immediately appeared.

Most importantly, the Fiend Emperor had been quite outstanding in his youth. When he was younger, he had tried to seduce Ferry’s wife. That was something he had only learned about from a coincidence.

However, the other party was the Fiend Emperor, and his cultivation was so high! Even though Ferry knew about that, he could only submit to the humiliation.

The Fiend Emperor had returned the favor as well, granting him all manner of glory and wealth. That was how the matter had been settled.

However, when he exchanged a look with Sharky, the scene of his wife screaming in pleasure under the Fiend Emperor had appeared in his mind. No matter how generous he was, seeing it for himself was something completely different.

Even though he felt anger, he felt even more fear. He was worried that the Fiend Emperor knew that he knew, and would want to silence him. How could he still be in the mood to stop him?

Sharky knows about this truth from the Second Empress. So, he just gave the same look, which the Fiend Emperor used to give him.

---

The group quickly headed into the Imperial Tomb. However, Sharky suddenly stopped, his expression serious as he called out, "Be careful! There’s something in the walls!"

When he entered the Imperial Tomb, Sharky reverted to his usual appearance. Continuing to pretend to be the Fiend Emperor there was pointless and would just intimidate the three women.

The group then continued inside, while examining their surroundings. The passage they entered was extremely wide and spacious. It wasn’t as gloomy and cramped as the previous ones, and every few meters, there was a small golden crown-shaped lantern that lit up their path like sacred flames.

Alina said in praise, "As expected of the Imperial Tomb. The fuel for these lanterns is from deep sea fish; it lets out no smoke when burned. It’s rumored that they can support flames for a thousand years without burning out."

"Mermaid oil?" Sharky asked. He had heard of a similar rumor before.

"No way. The Mermaid race’s status among the Ocean races is too high." Alina explained, "This is oil from a kind of whale. It’s extremely precious even in the Ocean races. I’m pretty certain that this is something that the Ocean races offered to a Fiend Emperor as tribute."

"You seem to know quite a bit," Sharky said, but he wasn’t surprised about this, after all Alina was expert in this.

Just like that, the group continued to head in deeper. When they arrived at a fork, Alina pointed straight ahead and said, "I think the Golden Crow Crown Prince is most likely going through the previous Fiend Emperors’ trial inside.

"Then let’s go this way," Sharky said, choosing the other way. Others nodded with him.

They couldn’t help but be surprised. They had come for the Unknown Region this time, and every single Unknown Region was a place countless people yearned for. If news of that got out, all of the world’s powerful cultivators would swarm over.

The map he had gotten from the Unknown Region only gave him a rough idea of where the Unknown Region was. As for where its actual location was, it didn’t mark that. Still, that made sense.

The map had already existed far earlier than the fiend races’ Imperial Tomb. Back then, the place hadn’t been the Imperial Tomb, so the surrounding terrain had already completely changed. That had made the map lose much of its meaning. They had to look for the rest themselves.

The group looked around along the way to see if there were any special places.

Charlotte was skilled in formation runes. She constantly looked around, but even though she found some hidden mechanisms, none of them had anything to do with the Unknown Region.

Suddenly, the view before their eyes changed. The space in front of them gave way to a wide open area. They were all surprised. At that instant, they almost thought they had already left the Imperial Tomb. There was a sun, moon, and stars above them, while beneath those were rivers and lakes.

"This is..." Diana trailed off, her mouth hanging open in shock.

Alina was shocked too, but she explained, "This is a miniature version of the world."

She specialized in art, and her treasure was World Painting. She was extremely familiar with the lands and waters of the world, so she immediately recognized the scene before her.

"On top of that, it’s a depiction of when the fiend races were at their peak," Diana said with a sneer. "Right now, most of the mountains and rivers have already been seized by the human race. The fiend races seem to still be living in their own fantasies."

Sharky had read about the tomb of the first emperor being a city that contained a sun, moon, and stars, as well as mountains, lakes, and seas. He hadn’t expected to experience the same thing in the fiend races’ Imperial Tomb too.
