The crypt was descending into chaos. Countless skeletons on the ground were awake. After scrambling to their feet, they began to hurl themselves at the nearest legacies, authorities, and Grand Emperor treasures. Getting one such reward would be amazing enough. Getting two would be incredible.

Up in midair, the old woman had temporarily been interrupted by the fifth Imperial Sovereign, who was disguised as Lin Kun. As the two of them fought back and forth, magical techniques glittered brightly, and Imperial Sovereign auras flared, sending out terrifying and deadly shockwaves in every direction. Every clash of their different authorities caused ripples in the surrounding natural and magical laws.

Booms rang out constantly. The shockwaves ripped skeletons to shreds. However, there were so many skeletons present that there were always more ready to jump toward the legacies, authorities, and treasures. Those who got close tried to knock them close to the stone door where Xu Qing and Erniu waited.

The old woman proved to be spectacular. As she fought with the fifth Imperial Sovereign, she completely held her own, and even managed to launch quite a few of her own blows. What was more, her absorption efforts hadn’t been completely interrupted. She was still making some headway. The immortal’s corpse was gradually disappearing.

That said, the speed of absorption had been greatly reduced. What was more, with the skeletons hitting all the various legacies, authorities, and treasures, sending them flying toward Xu Qing and Erniu, the entire momentum of the situation had changed. All of this takes a bit of time to describe, but actually happened in the time it takes a spark to fly off a piece of flint.
