Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 422: Unknown Region Mystery

The Fiend Emperor frowned. He seemed to have realized a certain possibility.

Sharky chuckled and said, "Fiend Emperor, it looks as if your son really doesn’t want you to obtain immortality."

"That is not true at all! Do not speak nonsense!" the Golden Crow Crown Prince exclaimed, feeling shocked and furious. He hadn’t expected Sharky to instantly see through his thoughts! He quickly looked at the Fiend Emperor in alarm.

The Fiend Emperor just happened to give the crown prince a long and deep look at that moment. When he saw that, the Golden Crow Crown Prince began to lose all confidence.

He knew better than anyone else just how vicious and merciless the father he loved and respected could be.

He quickly explained, "Father emperor, I was just worried that these people would fabricate some lies, and use that to escape! Father emperor, your respected self might also be in danger..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Danger?" The Fiend Emperor sneered. "In this entire world, not even Henry could injure me. What danger would I need to be scared of?"

"Father emperor’s skills are unmatched! It was this subject who thought too much..." The Golden Crow Crown Prince trailed off, covered in cold sweat. He didn’t dare to say anything else, worried that his father would suspect his motives.

"What else do you know about Unknown Regions?" the Fiend Emperor asked, looking at Sharky.

Even though he had confidence in himself, he wasn’t stupid. He had heard many rumors about the dangers surrounding Unknown Regions, so the more he knew, the more certainty he would have.

Sharky hesitated, wondering whether he should reply or not. He initially planned to take the chance to ask the Fiend Emperor to let the three women go, but then again, they wouldn’t necessarily be willing to accept that.

Furthermore, the Fiend Emperor could realize how much he cared about them and use them to threaten him.

Suddenly the man who came with the Fiend Emperor said, "I know, I know!"

"You know?" the Fiend Emperor asked, looking at him in shock. Forget about him, even Sharky’s group stared at Wendy.

"Yes your majesty, since you gave me the duty of taking care of the Imperial Tomb, I began to feel that its layout was quite strange. It seemed to carry a sense of disharmony. Since it is the Imperial Tomb, however, the one who constructed it must have been one of the greatest talents at the time, so how could that kind of person make such a mistake?" Wendy explained.

"The earlier disturbance allowed me to finally realize why. It’s because the Imperial Tomb just happens to be built atop an Unknown Region! Previously, because the Unknown Region hadn’t manifested in the tangible world, there were no abnormalities. As of late, though, the Unknown Region is showing signs of awakening again, which is why it’s begun to clash with the Imperial Tomb."

"So you are saying that the Unknown Region is underground?" the Fiend Emperor asked, staring at Wendy.

Wendy chuckled and replied, "Yes, your highness. If I’m not mistaken, the fiend races’ Imperial Tomb has formed a spacetime distortion, intersecting with an ancient Unknown Region. That series of events has formed a special phenomenon in this tomb: A Yin Yang Tomb."

The Fiend Emperor frowned, asking, "What is a yin tomb, and what is a yang tomb?"

"In this case, the yang tomb is none other than this Imperial Tomb, the underground palace that everyone can see. The legendary Yin Yang Tomb uses the yang tomb as a pretense to draw the attention of various tomb raiders. Of course, there are many precious burial objects inside such tombs," Wendy explained.

He continued, "However, the true ruler of the tomb is hidden in the yin tomb. That way, using the yang tomb, his peace won’t be disturbed by others after his death."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince was about to say something else, but the Fiend Emperor stopped him. He released a deep sigh and said, "Even with my abilities, I was never able to find a single Unknown Region. Now, it seems that these legendary lands are all hidden extremely well after all. No wonder I could never find them."

Wendy continued, "Your majesty the Fiend Emperor, have these abnormalities happened at all in the Imperial Tomb in previous years?"

The Fiend Emperor thought for a bit, but then shook his head and said, "They have not. According to what I know, there have never been any records of such a thing in the royal family."

"That makes sense. If there were any records, this Unknown Region would have already been discovered by another Fiend Emperor in the past," Wendy said. He formed a hand seal as if he were calculating something, continuing, "If my suspicions aren’t wrong, it’s because a certain special condition was satisfied. Perhaps it was a designated time, or perhaps it has something to do with the alignment of astrological signs, but only now has the Unknown Region revealed itself. If we miss this chance, the next time it appears might be tens of thousands of years later."

The Fiend Emperor began breathing heavily with excitement. He thought to himself, Could it be that I really am blessed by the heavens?

So many of the previous Fiend Emperor ancestors had missed such a chance, and yet he was actually presented with the opportunity while he was experiencing heaven and man deterioration.

"As expected of the Pangolin race, you know many things, it was good that you were appointed here," the Fiend Emperor praised and satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"It was your majesty’s generosity, that you understood my abilities, and put me in that place," Wendy replied, bowing at the Fiend Emperor.

The Fiend Emperor then looked towards Sharky’s group and asked, "Who sent you here?"

Sharky thought something, and replied, "It was the Second Imperial Prince, the prince!" Afterall, he can’t talk about the Second Empress. And the Second Imperial Prince has also tried to attack the Crown Prince, so it was a good excuse.

"It was him after all! That bastard has the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog!" the Golden Crow Crown Prince cursed.

"Who are you cursing?!" the Fiend Emperor snapped, shooting him a cold look.

Only then did the Golden Crow Crown Prince remember that the Second Imperial Prince was also his father’s son. Wasn’t that cursing his father too, then?

He quickly said, "The second brother’s schemes have harmed your first son greatly. Father emperor, you have to seek justice for me!"

The Fiend Emperor said with a cold snort, "This kind of thing is extremely common. Even if it had been you or me, if we had been in his position, as long as we had some ambition, we would be unwilling to accept our fate. We would similarly put in our all."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince muttered resentfully, "But he almost killed me..."

The Fiend Emperor said indifferently, "Our fiend races are different from the weak humans. We care about competition. The previous Fiend Emperors all rose up through cruel competition between their brothers and sisters. Only that way have we been able to ensure that every single Fiend Emperor is powerful and outstanding, that our fiend races would not come to ruin at the hands of trash."

Sharky was alarmed. No wonder the fiend races were filled with brave fighters. So that was something inherited through generation after generation of competition!

"I have benefited from my father’s emperor’s instruction," the Golden Crow Crown Prince said, lowering his head. However, inwardly, he was filled with killing intent.

Sensing his dissatisfaction, the Fiend Emperor said, "One day, when you ascend to the throne, you must treat your brothers well. Siblings can compete against each other over the throne, but once you become the Fiend Emperor and have already secured your position, they will become your most reliable allies."

"Yes, I will definitely treat them well," the Golden Crow Crown Prince replied. Inwardly, he sneered, but on the outside, he didn’t show anything.

The Fiend Emperor frowned slightly. With his understanding of his son, how could he not tell what he was thinking? He wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he reasoned that if he received the method to immortality in the Unknown Region, he would then be able to remain the Fiend Emperor. With him there, the brothers wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble anyway.

Just then, he sensed that many powerful cultivators and armies had rushed over. They had clearly all sensed the irregularities taking place in the Imperial Tomb. As such, he sent out his spirit. A golden figure left his body and passed through the entire mountain, appearing above the Imperial Tomb.

The massive projection looked at the people rushing over and said indifferently, "Pass down the order to guard every single major road. No one is allowed to approach the Imperial Tomb; all those who do are to be executed without exception."

Previously, Ferry had still been a bit suspicious of whether the one who had gone inside was the Fiend Emperor. When he saw that, he felt relieved. It really was him after all! Thank goodness I didn’t act on an impulse, or else I would be done for.

When he thought about how the Fiend Emperor knew that he knew about the affair with his wife, he felt nervous and hurried to prove his worth. As such, he quickly stopped the forces that rushed over and didn’t allow them to approach.

The Fiend Emperor was a bit confused. This guy was normally the most loyal to the crown prince. He had thought that Ferry would ask some questions, but he was actually so obedient today. Even so, he didn’t overthink it. After giving the order, he returned to the Imperial Tomb. He gave Charlotte and the other women a cold look.

Sharky was alarmed. The Fiend Emperor was already displaying killing intent.

Meanwhile, the various forces that had gathered outside the Imperial Tomb were stopped by Ferryi and his troops. No one suspected him of falsifying an imperial decree. However, they all had their own thoughts as to why the Fiend Emperor would appear in the Imperial Tomb.

The most nervous one was none other than the Second Imperial Prince. He had put a scheme in play. He hadn’t hesitated to expose the important pieces he planted at the crown prince’s side.

However, his father, the emperor, had suddenly appeared in the Imperial Tomb. Was it because the crown prince had died and he rushed over to stop the news from leaking out, or was it because he had actually been in the Imperial Tomb to begin with, causing the plan to fail?

That didn’t make sense! Hadn’t his father still been in the palace not too long before? He had no way to be absolutely certain of that, though. After all, with the Fiend Emperor’s strength, his subordinates wouldn’t necessarily be able to keep an eye on him.

On top of that, what was that disturbance in the Imperial Tomb? Could it have been caused by his subordinates and the crown prince? He was extremely worried because he really cared about that matter.
