Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

After Fang Qing obtained the identity of the Great Tomb Inheritor, many new thoughts flowed through his mind.

There were many marks on the tomb.

They are scattered throughout the core areas of the great tomb, waiting for those destined to find and acquire them.

Each mark represents a portion of the authority of the Great Tomb, but it also marks an identity—a candidate for "Great Tomb Successor".

What's even more chilling is that, judging from the information subtly conveyed by the markings, the will of this great tomb does not oppose, but rather encourages, different inheritors to fight, kill, and plunder each other's markings.

Because only when all the marks eventually converge on one person can that person truly grasp the core authority of the tomb, uncover its ultimate secrets, and even... become its new master.

This is a blatant form of vicious competition.

Throw all the qualified and strong into this massive arena, let them fight each other, and finally determine the sole victor.

"Killing each other? Seizing the mark?"

Fang Qing shook his head. "That's far too low-level and wasteful."

For other inheritors, it might be necessary to gather marks through killing and plunder, but for Fang Qing, there was no need for such trouble!
His path is the primordial chaos, an all-encompassing path that forges everything. His goal is to establish a divine kingdom that rules over all worlds.

Since the other "inheritors" are also rare powerhouses and resources, why kill them? Wouldn't it be better to subdue them directly and seize their marks, power, and fortune?
Fang Qing's ideas were simple yet domineering.

What he wanted was not just the mark itself, but also the powerful individuals behind it.

By incorporating them all into the Guardian Alliance, we can not only gather their marks, but also greatly enhance our own strength and foundation!
This is true conquest.

Thinking of this, Fang Qing sensed the large tomb mark in his palm.

The mark was slightly warm, vaguely indicating the direction of other similar marks.

In the other core areas of this divine tomb, there were indeed several auras of the same origin but slightly different.

Those must be the inheritors of other great tombs.

One of the auras was particularly powerful and violent, filled with a desire for destruction and conquest. It had clearly begun to actively seek out and hunt down other inheritors, as encouraged by the Great Tomb.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Fang Qing quickly pinpointed the exact location of the first target.

It was a fiery hell plane filled with scorching magma and an aura of destruction.

A terrifying giant, hundreds of feet tall, covered in crimson scales, with a single horn on its head and two wings on its back, was perched on the sea of ​​lava in the center of the plane, unabashedly radiating its terrifying aura filled with the desire for destruction and conquest.

His combat power index reached nearly two thousand points, a level of strength that would make him an outstanding figure even among the "Great Tomb Inheritors".

However, when Fang Qing's figure appeared silently in the sky above this fiery hell plane, the arrogance and violence on the giant demon's face instantly froze.

He sensed the terrifying pressure emanating from Fang Qing, a pressure as vast and unfathomable as the entire universe, which even made his soul tremble.

"Who...who are you?"

The troll's voice was like boiling magma, yet it carried a hint of barely concealed fear.

"The one who comes to take your mark."

Fang Qing's answer was concise and direct.

"dream!"

The troll was furious. Having cultivated to such a level, he was naturally a proud and arrogant person. Even if he sensed the terror of the other party, he would never surrender without a fight.

He suddenly opened his massive maw, unleashing a dark red, destructive breath powerful enough to incinerate galaxies, accompanied by countless laws of destruction, surging towards Fang Qing.

Faced with this terrifying attack that could instantly obliterate an ordinary emperor, Fang Qing simply raised one hand.

"Certainly."

An understatement.

The destructive breath, and all the laws of destruction contained within it, suddenly froze in mid-air, unable to advance even an inch further.

Not only that, the troll's true form was also bound by an invisible force, frozen stiffly on the sea of ​​lava, unable to even move its eyes, with only endless fear spreading in them.

This is an absolute difference in strength!

Fang Qing's control over rules and time and space has reached a point where his words become law and he can control everything.

The next moment, a crimson "Great Tomb Mark" of the same origin as the mark on Fang Qing's palm was peeled off from the troll's brow, turned into a stream of light, and merged into Fang Qing's palm.

With the integration of this mark, Fang Qing clearly felt that his perception and control over the tomb had increased significantly.

At the same time, the troll that had lost its mark and whose aura had suddenly weakened was also subdued by Fang Qing and became another general under his command.

After easily achieving his first goal, Fang Qing did not linger.

He sensed the increasingly powerful mark in his palm, searching for the next inheritor of the Great Tomb.

This process is far more efficient than imagined.

Because Fang Qing not only relied on the instinctive connection between the marks, he also directly unleashed the supreme divine power from the Eternal Realm—the Great Karma Technique!
The Great Art of Cause and Effect manipulates cause and effect, traces the origins, and connects all related things through the thread of cause and effect.

Fang Qing used the great tomb mark on his palm as the cause, and obtained all other marks as the result, directly unleashing this supreme Dao.

In an instant, countless ethereal yet real lines of cause and effect extended from his mark, piercing through layers of spacetime barriers and directly locking onto the existence of all other tomb marks.

Whether these marks are held by someone or hidden in some corner of the tomb as unclaimed property, they cannot be concealed.

This kind of locking ignores spatial and temporal distance, and ignores all restrictions and illusions; it is the most fundamental and direct causal connection.

Fang Qing could even sense that from the other end of some of the causal lines came fear, doubt, and even a desperate struggle to sever the connection. It was clear that other inheritors who held the marks had sensed something was wrong.

But their struggles seemed so futile in the face of such supreme divine power as the Great Cause and Effect Technique.

There are also some causal lines that end in silence, which are undiscovered, ownerless marks.

In addition to the Great Cause and Effect Technique, Fang Qing also incorporated the Great Fate Technique into it.

Fate is a subtle connection.

Under the influence of the Great Path of Fate, those beings who already had a "fate" with Fang Qing became even closer and more inseparable from him, and even felt a sense of destiny that they should gather around him.

Thus began an incredibly efficient operation to collect the marks. Guided by the lines of cause and effect and the lines of fate, Fang Qing led an ever-growing team to conduct precise, targeted cleanup within the Divine Tomb.

Fang Qing often personally takes action against those inheritors who possess the mark, are quite powerful, and are arrogant.

His strength was so overwhelming that he often decided the outcome in a single move, stripping away the marks and subduing the opponent in one smooth motion.

For those inheritors who were slightly weaker or who submitted to him after sensing his aura, he handed them over to his elite subordinates to deal with, and they were just as clean and efficient.

As for those marks that are still unowned and hidden in various dangerous places or secret realms of the Divine Tomb, Fang Qing has even more unique methods.

He once again invoked the power of the gods of the Eternal Realm.

"precious!"

A huge divine character, representing a treasure and the profound mysteries of the origin, flew out from his palm.

The word "treasure" has a natural attraction and appeal to all unclaimed, valuable treasures.

Under the influence of the character "宝" (treasure), the hidden, unclaimed tomb marks broke through the surrounding restrictions and concealment, transforming into streams of light that flew towards the character "宝".

As these marks flew closer, Fang Qing typed out another character – “Soldier”.

The character “兵” represents the fundamental meaning of “weapons”, “control”, and “mastery”.

As soon as this word appeared, the ownerless marks that were about to be attracted by the word "treasure" instantly became more docile and merged into the ever-growing and more dazzling main mark in Fang Qing's palm without any hindrance.

Thus, the Great Cause and Effect Technique and the Way of Fate are responsible for locking and guiding, the character "treasure" is responsible for attracting and summoning, and the character "soldier" is responsible for controlling and mastering.

When these four are combined, it's practically a flawless mark collection production line.

Fang Qing obtained the "Great Tomb Mark" at an astonishing speed.

Almost every so often, the light from the mark on his palm would become even more intense, and his perception and control over the entire tomb would increase accordingly.

He can sense more secret areas of the tomb and mobilize more of its divine power.

As the imprints continued to accumulate, Fang Qing's strength began another round of even more frantic, snowballing growth.

Each new mark not only brought more authority to the Great Tomb, but the divine power and fragments of rules contained within it were also rapidly digested and absorbed by his Great Dao, becoming part of his own strength.

His energy index soared from hundreds of thousands to millions... and showed no signs of stopping!

His infinite multiverse, nourished by the core authority of the Great Tomb, became increasingly stable and vast, allowing for more precise control over the differences in the flow of time within it, and resulting in an even more astonishing rate of energy and resource generation.

In this process, Fang Qing subdued not only the inheritors of those great tombs.

Almost every inheritor who is active deep within the Divine Tomb and successfully obtains the Great Tomb Mark represents a force, large or small, but absolutely elite.

Some are lone, peerless experts, while others are super sects like the Xuan Sha Dao Sect, which have a large number of elite subordinates.

After these inheritors were subdued by Fang Qing, they themselves, as well as the elite forces of their respective factions, naturally submitted to Fang Qing and became part of the Guardian Alliance.

Thus, an astonishing and unbelievable spectacle unfolded deep within the tomb.

Fang Qing's team was like a super snowball that kept rolling and expanding, growing bigger and stronger at an incredible speed.

Each time he finds and recruits a "Grand Tomb Heir", his team size will experience a qualitative leap.

Countless cultivators, powerful individuals, and even entire well-trained and well-equipped legions joined this torrent.

Each of them possesses at least the strength of an "Emperor".

These emperor-level experts come from various ancient families along the Ancient Road to Divinity, are living fossils left over from a hidden era, and are newly emerging peerless geniuses in this golden age...

They have different cultivation systems and master different laws, but without exception, they are all elites among elites, one in ten thousand, one in a billion.

Now, these once arrogant and powerful individuals, each dominating their own territory, have been forced or willingly gathered together under Fang Qing's absolute strength and fortune, branded with the Guardian Alliance, and become part of this massive collective.

As time went on, the number of tomb inheritors subdued by Fang Qing increased, and the number of marks integrated into his palm also increased.

In the end, this even happened.

Fang Qing only needs to linger in a certain area for a short while, revealing the terrifying aura and authority on his body that gathers nearly half of the Great Tomb's marks. Other inheritors who have not yet been found by him or are fleeing and hiding will feel a huge sense of oppression and summoning power from the Great Tomb itself.

It was an absolute suppression that stemmed from authority and legitimacy.

It's like the scattered princes in a country facing the true emperor who holds the imperial seal and gathers most of the country's fortune.

Under such oppression, many inheritors' resistance and fighting spirit quickly disintegrate, and they develop a sense of submission to destiny and orthodoxy, voluntarily appearing and offering their marks to show their allegiance.

This made Fang Qing's process of collecting marks and subduing powerful individuals much smoother in the later stages, with almost no significant resistance encountered.

When Fang Qing found the last causal line representing the successor of the Great Tomb, and took the slightly fearful mark at its end into his palm.

"Boom!"

The entire tomb trembled slightly.

An invisible, vast will awakened from the deepest part of the tomb and briefly focused on Fang Qing.

In Fang Qing's palm, the great tomb mark that had gathered all the scattered marks had become incredibly solid and dazzling.

It presents an all-encompassing chaotic color, within which countless worlds seem to be born and die, and rules flow.

This complete and unique "Grand Tomb Master Seal" signifies that Fang Qing has become the true master of this mysterious tomb.

In an instant, endless information, images, and profound rules flooded into Fang Qing's mind like a burst dam.

That contains the secrets, recorded history, and core control methods accumulated by this great tomb over countless years!
He witnessed the horrific scenes of the ancient war between gods, heard the lamentations and curses of the gods before their fall, and more clearly perceived the precise locations where those ancient divine fragments were buried.

In addition, Fang Qing gained absolute control over some functions of the entire tomb.

For example, he can open or close certain entrances to the tomb at will; he can mobilize the divine power and rules permeating the tomb for attack or defense.

He could more easily transfer the resources in the great tomb, or even some complete planes, directly into his infinite multiverse.

This authority gave him a true sense of being the "master" of this great tomb.

Take off! Take off completely! (End of Chapter)
