Qin Chen was shocked. He immediately used the Thirty-three Heavens to protect himself and awakened his Chaotic Holy Body, punching at the scorpion.

The big scorpion quickly retreated, distancing itself from Qin Chen. Then, it transformed back into its original form and raised its pincers to smash at Qin Chen. Perhaps because of the improvement in its cultivation, the big scorpion was much more stronger than before. If the force of this attack landed on Qin Chen, even if he had the Chaotic Holy Body, he would have been seriously injured.

However, the big scorpion’s weakness was also very obvious. Although its cultivation realm was high, it knew very little supernormal knowledge. Once Qin Chen used Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, it would instantly fall into a disadvantage.

“Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon!” With a shout, the dragon might attacked. Qin Chen controlled 108 streaks of dragon qi and attacked the big scorpion.

However, what surprised Qin Chen was that the big scorpion did not show any fear in the face of the Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon’s dragon might. One should know that this move had always been its nemesis!

The Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon pierced through the scorpion’s body, but not only was it unscathed, it even took the opportunity to strike with its iron pincers, sending Qin Chen flying.

Fortunately, he had the Thirty-three Heavens to protect him. However, Qin Chen could not figure out why the Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon did not work. Since when did the big scorpion become so strong?

While Qin Chen was deep in thought, the big scorpion attacked again. Every attack was aimed at Qin Chen’s vital parts, forcing him into a pinch several times.

“Brat! Brat! What’s wrong with you, kid?” A voice faintly appeared in Qin Chen’s ears. It sounded like the big scorpion’s voice, but the strange thing was that the big scorpion was right in front of him and had never spoken.

“You’re not the big scorpion!” Qin Chen shouted. Whether it was in terms of strength or the degree of eerieness, the one fighting him was definitely not the big scorpion he knew.

The big scorpion still didn’t say anything. It raised its iron pincers high, but just as they were about to fall, its body suddenly became illusionary. In the end, it shattered and turned into dust.

Before Qin Chen could react, everything around him changed. He was still in the blood-red desert, but the difference was that there was a light shield in the distance. Inside the light shield was an underground palace. The underground palace was extremely large and magnificent. It was very likely to be the legendary Demon Emperor Tomb.

“Brat! Brat! Why are you still not awake?” The big scorpion’s voice came from beside him. A ball of Dao fire was lit in its palm, helping Qin Chen to dispel the blood sand that was constantly gathering around him.

Looking at the big scorpion, Qin Chen was confused and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“You’re awake!” The big scorpion cried out in surprise and revealed a smile, “Didn’t you say that you were going to take me away from this damn place? The Demon Emperor Tomb is so dangerous. If you die, who will take me out?”

Qin Chen did not expect that the big scorpion would step into the dangerous place that it had not dared to enter for tens of thousands of years just for him. He could not help but feel some warmth in his heart. He patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll get you out of here.”

The big scorpion coughed and its expression was a little awkward, “I’ve been trapped here for so many years. In fact, I’ve long wanted to come down and take a look. I originally wanted to let you explore the way, but I didn’t expect that you couldn’t even resist the illusion of the blood sand!”

“An illusion!” Qin Chen suddenly realized that he had probably been under an illusion a long time ago. That was why he had no idea that the Demon Emperor Tomb was right in front of him. The big scorpion that he had fought with before had also appeared because of the illusion.

It had to be said that this illusion was really powerful. Even Qin Chen had fallen for it unknowingly. If it wasn’t for the big scorpion, he would probably be immersed in the illusion forever, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Qin Chen was still puzzled. He had been so careful, but he still fell for the illusion, so how did the big scorpion break the blood-sand illusion?

“Why didn’t you get affected by the blood-sand illusion?” Qin Chen asked.

“I’m a Supreme Sage. How can a mere blood-sand illusion fool my sharp eyes? As soon as I entered the blood sand, I discovered something fishy,” The big scorpion had a proud look on its face, and the corners of its mouth were almost raised to the sky.

Qin Chen was speechless. He naturally did not believe the big scorpion’s words, but he had obtained an important piece of information from his words. He said in a deep voice, “So, you already knew about the existence of the blood-sand illusion?”

“O… Of course not. I only noticed it after I entered the blood sand,” After being exposed by Qin Chen, the big scorpion started to stammer. Even so, it did not tell the truth. Instead, it steeled itself and quibbled.

Qin Chen ignored his explanation and continued to ask, “How did you know? What else do you know?”

Seeing Qin Chen’s reaction, the big scorpion lost its confidence and explained, “Although I’ve never entered this place before, I’ve long come into contact with the blood sand. Back then, I was trapped in the illusion for several years before I managed to come out, so I took some precautions when I came down, which is why I didn’t fall into the illusion this time.”

“Why didn’t you tell me about the blood-sand illusion when I came down?” Qin Chen growled and glared at the big scorpion, looking very angry.

The big scorpion hurriedly explained, “You came down too quickly. Besides, I thought you could sense the illusion by yourself. Who knew that you were not as powerful as I thought?”

Ever since it was beaten by Qin Chen, the big scorpion had always regarded him as someone who was far more powerful than itself. But now, it seemed that it had overestimated Qin Chen. It could not help but feel a little disappointed. After all, it was still hoping that Qin Chen would bring him out.

Qin Chen did not make things difficult for the big scorpion. Instead, he looked down at the underground palace and asked, “Do you know how to enter?”

The big scorpion shook its head and said words of retreat, “The Demon Emperor Tomb is extremely dangerous. There must be many traps like the blood-sand illusion in there. Are you really going to enter?”

“I must go in,” Qin Chen said in a low voice, showing his determination. However, he also became more careful. After all, if he fell into a trap again, no one would be able to save him.

After diving next to the light shield, Qin Chen did not enter rashly. Instead, he carefully extended his arm to test it. With a “poof”, his palm passed through the light shield without any resistance.

“I’ll go in and take a look!” Qin Chen said and passed through the light shield. A beam of light suddenly hit him, stunning him. When he opened his eyes again, he was already outside the underground palace.

[Ding–]

[An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?]

[Note: you can repeatedly check in here!]

The system’s cold voice sounded in Qin Chen’s mind. He raised his head and looked at the majestic underground Palace. To his surprise, he saw two large words: Demon Emperor!
