220: The Emperor's Coffin Appears in the Ruins of Guixu

Three days passed in a flash.

Above the Pill Tower Holy Domain, space… violently… twisted! A… massive spatial passage… slowly… formed, constructed jointly… by Chaos Qi and Power of Starlight!

The other end of the passage was not… ordinary… void, but… a dead, pitch-black expanse… that seemed to swallow even light—absolute darkness!

Only the faint glow from the incomplete coordinate in Xiao Chen’s hand, like a flickering candle in a strong wind, stubbornly guided their direction!

Xiao Chen, dressed in a green robe, stood before the passage.

Behind him, Yan Huang, Dragon Emperor (his true form present! His ten-thousand-foot dragon body shrunk to one hundred feet, but his dragon might was greater than ever!), Flower Without Shadow, and Miao Yin… stood solemnly.

These four… were the entire core combat strength for this journey!

Venerable Feng, leading the Starfall Pavilion elites and a portion of the Dragon Guards and Yan Clan's Fire Dragon Army, formed a supporting array outside the passage.

“This journey’s outcome is unpredictable,” Xiao Chen said, turning to sweep his gaze over everyone, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.

“Once you step into this passage, there will be no turning back.

If any of you are afraid, you may withdraw now.”

“Haha! Emperor Xiao, why the extra words!” Yan Huang burst out laughing, flames raging around him!

“My Yan Clan only has valiant souls who die in battle, not cowards who retreat!”

“The Dragon Clan is the same!” Dragon Emperor let out a deep dragon roar, his dragon eyes filled with towering battle intent!

Although Flower Without Shadow and Miao Yin did not speak, the determination in their eyes said it all!

“Good!” Xiao Chen nodded, no longer speaking.

He turned and stepped into that pitch-black spatial passage!

Yan Huang and the others followed without hesitation!

“Om—!!!”

The moment they stepped into the passage, an indescribable, terrifying pressure instantly descended!

It was as if countless invisible hands were frantically tearing at their bodies and souls from all directions!

Moreover, a strange power, capable of eroding everything and returning all to nothingness, constantly tried to penetrate their protective energy!

“Be careful! This is the power of Guixu!” Xiao Chen shouted, his Chaos Emperor Domain silently unfolding around him, enveloping the four.

The terrifying pressure and erosive power immediately greatly diminished!

But even so, Yan Huang and the others still felt as if they were carrying mountains as they advanced!

Their Dou Qi consumption was astonishing!

“Stay close to me!” Xiao Chen’s gaze was sharp, following the guidance of the coordinates, as he struggled forward through this seemingly endless dark void!

Around them, spatial fragments, like sharp blades, swept by from time to time!

There were also fleeting projections of distorted, ruined worlds, emitting eerie wails that made their hearts palpitate!

They advanced for an unknown duration.

It felt like an instant, yet also like ten thousand years.

Suddenly—

In the endless darkness ahead, a faint, dark-red light appeared!

“We’re here!” Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed!

His speed suddenly increased!

“Boom—!!!”

Everyone felt their bodies lighten!

It was as if they had broken through an invisible membrane!

Their vision suddenly cleared!

However, the scene that greeted their eyes made everyone gasp, their minds violently shaken!

This was an enormous space, indescribable in words!

The sky was dark red, without sun, moon, or stars, only countless shattered world barriers hanging like scars!

The ground was pitch black, covered with bottomless Rift Valley!

The air was filled with an impossibly thick scent of blood, and a kind of dead silence and despair that seemed to have settled for eons!

And in the very center of this space, a huge, unimaginably vast, dark-red coffin hung silently in the air!

The coffin itself seemed to be carved from some living, dark-red crystal!

Its body was covered with countless twisted, struggling souls in relief!

The coffin lid was not completely closed, revealing a gap!

From that gap, a terrifying Emperor Might that could freeze one’s soul continuously emanated, along with a malevolent will that seemed to want to drag the entire world into eternal annihilation!

The burial emperor coffin!

And it was a nearly complete burial emperor coffin!

Around the coffin, eight towering, dark-red stone pillars stood prominently!

At the top of each pillar, a phantom of an artifact radiating Emperor Might of a different attribute floated!

These were precisely the coffin components refined in the eight ancient pagodas that Xiao Chen had previously destroyed!

Now, through the stone pillars, they were continuously injecting immense energy into the main coffin in the center!

“Did we still arrive a step too late?” Yan Huang said, his face grim.

“No… it hasn’t completely succeeded yet!” Xiao Chen’s gaze was fixed on the gap in the coffin, “The coffin lid isn’t closed… the Emperor corpse isn’t asleep! We still have a chance!”

“Hehehe… as expected… you still found your way here…” A cold, hoarse voice, like metal grating, suddenly sounded from behind the burial emperor coffin!

A figure shrouded in thick black mist slowly emerged!

The aura emanating from him was actually several times more powerful than the previous Pavilion Master Tianji!

He had clearly reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and even half a foot had already stepped into the true Emperor Realm!

“Are you… the ‘master’ behind Pavilion Master Tianji?” Xiao Chen asked coldly, the Chaos Emperor Power within him already beginning to circulate wildly!

“Master? No… I am merely a humble ‘Coffin Guardian’ under the master’s command.” The black figure let out an unpleasant laugh, “However… to deal with you few ants… this venerable one alone is enough!”

“Today… let your blood and souls… be the final sacrifice for the Emperor Coffin!”

“Roar—!!!”

The black figure’s words had just fallen!

The burial emperor coffin suddenly vibrated violently!

From the gap in the coffin lid, a blood-red light burst forth!

A terrifying existence, as if it had slept for eons, seemed to be awakening!

The final decisive battle finally began!
