Chapter 1637: Chapter 1657: Feather Emperor’s Tomb

As Lil Whiteness floated and spun on its own, shedding its fur, Yusuf Zuck casually picked up an arm. To his surprise, there was a ring still on one of its fingers.

When this Prime Minister died, his ring hadn’t been removed, so it remained worn.

Moreover, there was a colossal coffin in the burial chamber, and something inside it was gleaming.

After slipping off the ring, Yusuf Zuck held it and walked step by step towards the gigantic coffin!

"Huh? Is there really one here?" As soon as he glanced inside the coffin, he spotted a Faith Divine Stone inside.

Of course, there wasn’t only the Faith Divine Stone; there were also other gemstones, like diamonds and sapphires, all meant as burial imports!

After considering for a moment, Yusuf Zuck decided not to take those gemstones, as they were merely ornaments, neither edible nor drinkable, so he only picked up the Faith Divine Stone!

In the past, as soon as he got hold of a Faith Divine Stone, it would instantly be absorbed by the Purple Blood Beads. But now, there was no response in his mind!

Yusuf Zuck gave a bitter smile, then tucked the Faith Divine Stone away and finally opened the ring he was holding!

"Huh? It’s not there?" Yusuf Zuck was stunned because the ring didn’t contain a Faith Divine Stone; instead, it had some Magic Treasures books, stones, and potions, but no Faith Divine Stone!

"Whew~" Yusuf Zuck breathed out heavily, muttering to himself, "It seems Faith Divine Stones aren’t ubiquitous even in this world; they are indeed precious!"

With that said, he turned to look at Lil Whiteness!

At this moment, after shedding all its white fur, Lil Whiteness grew a new layer of white down and its body shrunk a little!

Yes, it actually shrunk rather than grew larger!

Yusuf Zuck was amazed, as he had thought Lil Whiteness was about to transform into a human; it turns out it was merely shrinking and shedding, its fur still white, but it seemed different from before!

Yusuf Zuck circled around it twice but found no other peculiarities, nor did it show any sign of formidable, fearsome, or sanguinary aura; it remained as dainty and adorable!

"Meow~" Lil Whiteness opened its eyes, meowed, and leapt into Yusuf Zuck’s arms, rubbing its little head against his chest as if being coquettish!

Yusuf Zuck chuckled and muttered to himself, "I don’t want you to become human, I just want you to stay adorable forever!"

"Meow~" Lil Whiteness meowed again, its eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement, not understanding why Yusuf Zuck said that.

Of course, Yusuf Zuck wouldn’t explain anything to it.

"Let’s go!" Yusuf Zuck hugged it tightly and strode out of the stone chamber.

Moments later, the two of them reached the bridgehead of the Prime Minister’s Tomb. Crossing the bridge led to the eighth level, which was inside the tomb, though instinctively, Yusuf Zuck felt the bridge was unusual!

There was no river or water beneath, and under the bridge was still a smooth road surface, yet people had to walk over a bridge built here.

Thus, this was clearly redundant, hence the bridge must have its unique purpose!

It is often said that the Tomb of Gods is hard to enter, each level being more perilous than the last, and these perils come both from inside the burial chambers and the portals before them; this bridge clearly is such a portal!

"Hide yourself well in my arms!" Yusuf Zuck pulled out the Epoch Etching Blade once again, his whole body shuddering as the Golden Body emerged.

Now, with the Golden Body unveiled, he appeared like a golden statue, his body truly unaffected by water and fire, unharmed by any element!

Yusuf Zuck took a step forward, stepping onto the first tier of the bridge.

However, the moment he set foot on the first tier, his expression twisted suddenly as his body automatically grew twenty centimeters taller!

No, it wasn’t growing taller on its own; rather, spikes emerged from the bridge surface, piercing into the soles of his feet.

Anyone else might have had their soles punctured, but he had the Golden Body, so the spikes merely hoisted him up without actually injuring him!

Naturally, what made Yusuf Zuck’s face change drastically was the enormous Gravity on the bridge; the instant he stepped on it, it felt like a mountain was pressing heavily upon him.

Due to this Gravity, you couldn’t detach from the bridge; you couldn’t fly, only cross it by foot!

Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath and moved onto another tier!

"Screech~" Once again, spikes appeared under his feet. This time, the spikes reached a meter in length, and the Gravity doubled!

Yusuf Zuck proceeded for a third step, spikes emerged again, measuring two meters this time, meaning that if you survived the first tier, reaching the third would see spikes stabbing your head into a sieve.

Continuing across eight steps, the spike lengths multiplied, after the eighth step reaching over sixty meters, and the spikes hoisted Yusuf Zuck into midair.

Suspended in air, Yusuf Zuck took another step forward; on this ninth step, the spikes vanished, replaced by the glint of interlocking blades!

The glint of blades, indeed, formed a dense criss-cross, slicing toward the ninth tier!

Yusuf Zuck stood immobile on the step as the criss-crossing blade light swept over him, emitting the sound of metal clashing!

"So terrifying!" Yusuf Zuck inhaled deeply at this moment; without the Golden Body, even at his Immortal Emperor level, he would have been sliced into pieces directly, and even gods would require supreme defense Magic Treasures to pass, not bypassing the special methods on this bridge!

The tenth tier was also bathed in blade light.

Yusuf Zuck crossed all eighteen tiers smoothly, yet glanced back with lingering fear at the seemingly ordinary bridge, which in truth was filled with deadly traps – a bridge of doom!

"Meow~" At this moment, Lil Whiteness meowed again, then jumped out of Yusuf Zuck’s embrace, darting quickly into the tomb!

Yusuf Zuck gave a bitter smile and shook his head; were there zombies inside? Had this little creature become addicted to them?

Yusuf Zuck was quite certain that God stiff held a greater than usual allure for Lil Whiteness and might boost its Cultivation Level, rendering it stronger or allowing rapid evolution!

He followed Lil Whiteness, wandering bewilderedly inside the burial chambers, where each chamber lay open, with chaotic footprints inside, and traces of countless rummages.

Each stone coffin in the burial chambers also lay open and predictably empty, fears that even divine bone fragments had vanished, as divine bone fragments serve as medicinal materials, highly beneficial to certain people!

This Prime Minister’s tomb was far larger than the Prime Minister’s Tomb, so the two walked nearly two hours before reaching the deepest part of the tomb, just outside the main burial chamber!

And above this burial chamber were mirrors and talismans, even more talismans than previously!

"Meow!" Lil Whiteness meowed at the interior, signifying there was more inside!

"Let’s find our escape route first, then open this up!" Yusuf Zuck smiled.

"Meow!" Lil Whiteness meowed at an angle behind Yusuf Zuck, and when Yusuf Zuck glanced back, he burst into laughter as well, for diagonally opposite him lay another open burial chamber, through which stood another bridge, at the end of which were tombs and a stele, inscribed with ’Emperor Feather Tomb’!
