Chapter 2403: Threatened
Meanwhile, Zu An was moving through the seafloor mountains. Even though he didn’t see the grand and magnificent Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, there were still many giant dragon bones buried within. There were many members of the Dragon race standing guard nearby, strictly prohibiting any creatures from approaching.
Zu An changed his appearance a bit to resemble one of the guards patrolling this area. Now that his divine sense had such a wide scope, he was able to avoid most of the guards, so he wasn’t noticed.
After walking around for a bit, he saw that there were many dragon burial mounds, placed in a relatively rough and careless manner. It seemed that whenever one was about to die, they would find a mountain as their place of eternal rest. There were no grand buildings or the like.
“It seems the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons was something built afterward after all,” Zu An muttered. He was already extremely familiar with the tomb. He'd thought that he would be able to match his memories to this place, but reality proved that he had assumed too much.
The world of this age was far larger than that of later generations, which also meant that the topography had changed greatly. Even Zu An’s eyes were becoming a bit sore from all the searching; he couldn’t find any familiar areas, let alone the three great trial regions he'd experienced before. Now that he thought about it, if it wasn’t because the Dragon Palace was just too conspicuous and had all kinds of very special formation energies, he likely wouldn't have even been able to find it amid this boundless sea.
In the end, he gave up on continuing the search for the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, and instead tried to find the terrifying ocean abyss that marked the entrance to the Underworld. There was no way such a huge abyss could just vanish into thin air too, right?
He was the lord of the underworld to begin with, so he was especially familiar with its energy. Thus, he quickly moved within the mountains and arrived at a deep trench. He could sense that the entrance to the Underworld was below. This ocean trench was countless times deeper than the Mariana Trench of his previous world. The terrifying ocean pressure was enough to stop most creatures who approached.
Zu An dove into the trench. The dragon guards he encountered increased in number. He frowned slightly. This pressure was something likely only the Dragon race’s tough bodies could withstand. But why were there so many dragons here?
Shortly after, he was stopped by two dragon guards. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and found some reasons to dispel their concerns. However, he could see more and more dragons below. He realized that if he wanted to head down any further, he would definitely be exposed.
