Chapter 40 - 40: The Tomb of the Forgotten King
Darkness enveloped the underground chamber, the air thick with ancient energy.
Li Jun rose to his feet, his senses sharp. The walls were covered in glowing glyphs, pulsating with a faint golden light.
> This isn't just a ruin... It's a sealed domain.
His All-Knowing Eye activated, scanning the area.
[Location: Tomb of the Forgotten King]
Threat Level: Extreme
Energy Presence: Unknown Lifeform Detected
Sealing Formation: Partially Broken
Li Jun's heartbeat slowed.
> Unknown lifeform...?
Something was still alive in this ancient tomb.
A Voice from the Darkness
CLANK... CLANK...
A deep, metallic echo filled the chamber.
Then, from the shadows—
A massive figure emerged.
Draped in a blackened royal cloak, its skeletal frame shimmered with a faint golden glow.
Its hollow eyes stared at Li Jun, radiating an aura of absolute authority.
> "Mortal... You dare set foot in my tomb?"
The voice was ancient, filled with contempt and sorrow.
Li Jun didn't flinch.
> "Are you... the Forgotten King?"
A cold chuckle echoed through the chamber.
> "A title long abandoned. I was once a ruler, a conqueror... But now, I am a prisoner of eternity."
The aura around the figure fluctuated, making the entire chamber tremble.
Li Jun gripped his sword tightly.
> This presence... It surpasses the Demi-God Realm!
The Curse of the Forgotten King
The spectral king raised a decayed hand, revealing a broken jade amulet embedded in his chest.
> "This cursed land is my prison. My power, my legacy... all sealed away by traitors of the past."
Li Jun's eyes narrowed.
> "Why are you still here?"
The king's gaze locked onto him.
> "Because my soul refuses to fade."
His voice grew deeper, filled with bitterness and rage.
> "For centuries, I have waited. And now... you stand before me."
> "A soul reborn. A warrior who once touched divinity."
Li Jun's blood ran cold.
> He knows...
Before he could react, the king's aura surged—
BOOM!
A shockwave erupted, shaking the chamber violently.
> "Prove yourself, child of fate!"
> "Or be consumed by the past!"
A battle with the Forgotten King had begun.
