Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

The awe-inspiring roar of the dragon echoed in the minds of every extraordinary individual in Kyoto, lingering for a long time.

All the extraordinary beings in Kyoto were shocked, not knowing what had happened.

Ordinary people, however, cannot hear that sound at all and continue to be busy with their own lives.

The Black Sun Demon Lord's eyes flashed.

"Azure Dragon?!"

"Heh, just as I expected!"

With a flash of black energy, the Black Sun Demon Lord appeared immediately at the location where the dragon's roar had come from.

Beneath the palace, at the entrance to the imperial mausoleum!

At this moment, the entrance to the imperial mausoleum was a mess, filled with dust. It was covered in ancient dust that had been there for thousands of years, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

There had clearly just been a fierce battle here.

The ground was ravaged, with long cracks everywhere and rubble everywhere. Hundreds of human soldiers lay dead in pools of blood, their bodies mangled and broken.

The stone door that originally led into the underground palace has now been closed again.

The human emperor, Long Hai, lay motionless in a corner, his imperial robes stained with blood. He lay on the ground with his eyes closed, barely alive.

Several surviving guards rushed over in a panic and helped Long Hai up from the ground: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Your Majesty, how are you?"

"Get His Majesty out of here immediately!"

"Quickly summon a healing-type support superhuman to provide emergency care for His Majesty!"

"..."

On the other side, Priestess Ji Lian was also covered in wounds and was leaning against another corner, panting heavily.

Her near-perfect face was deathly pale. Her once pure and unapproachable aura now appeared somewhat disheveled, her hair disheveled, her divine robes tattered. The battle-worn goddess priestess possessed a poignant beauty. Her fair right hand, peeking out from the sleeve of her right priestess robe, trembled slightly, a faint divine light flickering in her palm like a candle flame about to go out in the darkness—a sign that her divine power was exhausted.

Ji Lian felt dizzy, and the scene before her eyes turned black and blurry in an instant. She staggered and quickly reached out to hold onto the wall next to her to prevent herself from falling.

"Master Priest!"

A female guard rushed over, helped her up, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Ji Lian gently shook her head and bit her lip: "I'm fine, I'm just exhausted... help me back to rest."

Female guard: "Yes."

The Black Sun Demon Lord glanced at them a few times.

He looked at Ji Lian with great interest for a while longer.

How could there be priests among such a weak race as humans who could control divine magic?

Ji Lian and the other soldiers withdrew from the imperial mausoleum.

Everyone left.

The Black Sun Demon Lord slowly walked to the bronze-cast stone door.

This is clearly the entrance to the underground palace.

"It seems this is where the Azure Dragon's remains are buried."

The Black Sun Demon Lord chuckled with amusement.

"The First Emperor of the Human Race was quite clever. He actually built the place where the Azure Dragon Treasure was buried together with his own imperial mausoleum. Moreover, I don't know what kind of seal he used, but even I can't sense it."

The Black Sun Demon Lord reached out and gently stroked the exquisite blue dragon carving on the stone gate.

As he touched it, his blood-red eyes suddenly narrowed.

"boom--!"

Terrifying magic erupted from his hands, easily shattering the stone door at the entrance!

The Black Sun Demon Lord strolled in leisurely.

After entering through the main gate, there is a spacious square hall with a stone door exit on each of the four sides. In the middle of the path just inside the entrance stands a terracotta warrior statue, which looks like a soldier guarding the hall.

"This should be the front hall of the underground palace."

The Black Sun Demon Lord thought to himself, and then he slowly walked up to the terracotta warrior statue and looked it in the eye.

He asked dismissively, "Are you going to stop me?"

Terracotta warrior statue: "..."

No answer.

The Black Sun Demon Lord snorted coldly and walked right past it.

"Rumble, rumble..."

At that moment, the ground began to shake violently.

The Black Sun Demon Lord suddenly turned around and saw that the stone door he had smashed, with all the scattered rubble, had actually been gathered together and reassembled, returning to its original appearance!

They've blocked his escape route!

At the same time, the terracotta warrior statues suddenly came to life!

The stone eyes, which were originally dull gray, now gleamed with a faint bluish light, like jade stones shining through the stone's surface.

The heavily armored terracotta warriors gripped and raised their long-handled halberds with both hands, and with a "whoosh," swung them across the Black Sun Demon Lord!

Black Sun Demon Lord casually raised his hand to block.

The sharp halberd was blocked in mid-air by an invisible demonic aura, stopping at the side of the Demon Lord, unable to get any closer.

"Hmph... The shrimp soldiers and crab generals created by the First Emperor of the Human Race dare to try to stop me? They are overestimating themselves."

The Black Sun Demon Lord snorted disdainfully.

He raised his hand again, and a burst of dark magic struck the terracotta warrior's chest armor.

"Boom--!"

The terracotta warrior was pushed back seven or eight meters before stopping, its heavy armored boots leaving a long trail on the ground.

"!?!" The Black Sun Demon Lord's expression changed.

This heavily armored terracotta warrior actually managed to block one of his attacks?!?

Even a Saint Realm expert would be instantly vaporized by the dark energy of the demonic aura if struck head-on by his palm!

The heavily armored terracotta warrior slowly raised his long-handled halberd again, its tip aimed at the Black Sun Demon Lord.

As a stone statue, apart from the eyes having a faint bluish luster reminiscent of jade, its face is expressionless.

The Black Sun Demon Lord was completely unable to sense the life and level of the terracotta warriors.

This thing is probably just a stone statue, not a supernatural being, and it doesn't have any level.

As a stone statue, its material is not even extraordinary; it's just the most ordinary stone... But how could a stone possibly withstand an attack from him as a demon lord?

The Black Sun Demon Lord narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So that's it, the terracotta warrior statue has the aura of a blue dragon."

"Was it the power bestowed by the Azure Dragon...?"

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble..."

The ground then began to shake again.

The remaining hundred or so heavily armored terracotta warriors in the main hall also awoke.

The bodies began to move stiffly, but then their movements became more and more agile, and they picked up the long weapons beside them.

They resembled a well-trained army; their heavy stone bodies moved swiftly, and they quickly surrounded the Black Sun Demon Lord.

"..." The Black Sun Demon Lord suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
