Chapter 411: Entering the Coffin to Explore the Secrets

Wang Hong was repeatedly insulted in front of others, and he said angrily, "You insisted on coming here, I didn't force you to come! As for whether he ascended to immortality or something else happened, no one can confirm it."

Wang Xiongwu realized the reason and turned to curse: "Pan Zhonghan, that bastard, he still wants to trick me when he is about to die."

Although Wang Hong loathed Wang Xiongwu more and more, he was even more wary of him. He thought, "This guy just entered the coffin and was able to get out. He's much stronger than all the ancestors!"

Cheng Bai suddenly realized, "The coffin hides dangers, yet the Bone Emperor can move freely within it. Could it be... that there is a close connection between the two?"

Master Li questioned the figure in the coffin, "If the scholar's prediction is correct, you are one of the three corpses that Senior Jianyu abandoned here, correct?"

After hearing this, the Bone Emperor laughed wildly and said, "Haha... you're half right. I was separated from my body by the Sword Prison and have been wandering the outer realms for a long time, collecting sword bones from all over the world to cultivate. The immortal flower sealed in the coffin is the main trunk of the Three Corpses. Here, I have gained the essence of the spirit and cultivated for five thousand reincarnations, becoming a saint among corpses."

Cheng Bai speculated curiously, "Immortal flower? Could this coffin contain spiritual roots of plants or trees? Using only the Cloud Stone to refine an immortal artifact is too difficult. If there were immortal-level treasures as the core, it would indeed be feasible."

Bei Tingjun curled his lips and spat, "Hey! I've long suspected that this bone demon is hiding in Qiongqi Continent, secretly establishing the Bone Prison force. There must be some hidden conspiracy. Judging from this background, it's quite powerful!"

A cold and dark light surged in the Bone Emperor's eye sockets. He sized up the five people in front of the coffin and threatened, "Now that I have returned, I have merged with the Immortal Flower. After breaking the seal and exiting the tomb, I will sweep across the world invincible! Considering your cultivation is difficult, please stay away immediately. I will not bother with ignorant youngsters."

Cheng Bai shook his head and said, "That's not right. I heard that you were severely injured by Senior Bo Xuan last time and had to flee in panic. Can injuries inflicted by a saint be easily healed? Don't lie to me."

The Bone Emperor, his true identity exposed, shouted in a deep voice, "Hmph! A bunch of ungrateful ants."

In reality, ever since being struck by Bo Xuan's Flower-Breaking Willow Finger, Bone Emperor had never recovered. He had no choice but to stop collecting sword bones to practice Ten Thousand Swords Bone Tempering, flee to Jing'ao Island, and enter the Bone Prison Three Corpses Demon Tower to seek a solution.

"Bullshit! Big bullshit!"

Wang Xiongwu, seemingly provoked by something, lashed out at the Bone Emperor with harsh words, pointing at him and shouting, "How dare you claim to be invincible? I was merely startled by the Bone Flower in the Demon Tower. Watch me destroy it, and then tear your skeleton to shreds!"

He quickly pointed his finger and used the Pojun sword technique. The sword energy in the sky was like blooming stars and falling meteors, and it was projected towards the Bone Prison Three Corpses Demon Tower.

The Bone Emperor was shocked to see the killing move coming at him so fiercely that he didn't dare to take it head-on. He quickly dodged and hid deep in the coffin.

The violent and raging sword energy approached the demon tower and suddenly dispersed into streaks of light, as if being swallowed by a black hole without a trace left, and all disappeared into the doors and windows of the platform.

Cheng Bai was astonished. "Although Venerable Wang's swordsmanship is still debatable, his Saint-level magic power is truly formidable. It's amazing that he couldn't even damage a coffin."

Master Li looked solemn and said cautiously, "This demonic tower that serves as a coffin was able to force Saint Wang to retreat. It is already qualified to be considered an immortal weapon."

"Hehe! So what if it's a magic weapon? I deliberately let it absorb the sword energy. This time, I'll let you see how powerful it really is!" Wang Xiongwu sneered and lightly pinched his sword finger to pull it. The swallowed sword energy was still under his control and exploded violently inside the coffin.

A shrill roar, like the emanation of a demon from Hell, echoed from the Bone Prison Three Corpse Demon Tower. Accompanied by a chaotic cacophony of "crackling" and "cracking," the entire building shook violently, crackling across its surface and sending debris flying everywhere.

Suddenly, a cold wind howled in the main tomb chamber, and black fog surged. The piercing roar mixed with ghostly screams shook the dome, as if a small world was suffering terrible destruction and was wailing on the verge of destruction.

Cheng Bai was quick-witted and reached out to catch a piece of the flying cloud stone. He happily put it into his pocket and said, "I just happened to be short of this kind of spiritual stone. It would be a waste if I didn't pick it up."

Bei Tingjun was shocked by the change and screamed, "Your Majesty, be careful..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the coffin seemed to be completely enraged, and a terrifying vortex storm was set off in an instant. The huge force sucked in everything around it crazily, and its power was as powerful as turning the world upside down.

Wang Hong was the first to collapse. Before he could even scream, he was gripped tightly by an invisible force and dragged into the building.

"Oh, here you go again." Wang Xiongwu seemed to have seen this before. He moved his neck fearlessly, and his yellow hair glowed with a faint golden light, and he suddenly became immune to all evil.

Then Wang Xiongwu took the initiative to step forward, allowing himself to be swallowed by the strong suction force in the building. Suddenly, he threw out a disdainful threat: "This time, I will make you break your bones!"

Beitingjun was struck by the swirling storm, her delicate body unsteady, her long hair flying in disorder. She hurriedly formed seals with her hands, condensing crystal ice flowers to block the wind, but they were ripped apart in an instant.

Fortunately, Cheng Bai reacted quickly and had already activated the Shengjin Tower to open the elemental barrier. After protecting himself, he also enveloped Beitingjun in it to prevent him from being affected by the coffin.

The terrifying invisible suction force collided violently with the pagoda's defense, and a harsh sound of metal friction was heard, as if two forces were fighting each other.

"It seems that to stop the Bone Demon from causing trouble, we must go deeper into the coffin." Master Li thought for a moment and made a decisive decision, "Saint Lord Baidi, allow the scholar to go in first to explore the way."

With that, Master Li channeled his inner energy to protect himself, and despite the violent pull of the storm, he resolutely leaped into the building. His brocade robes melted into the ink, vanishing in an instant.

Cheng Bai weighed the coffin's power and deduced repeatedly, "It's roughly equivalent to a high-grade immortal weapon, but there are some quirks... With the rank of Shi Chi, Li Tong, and Jiu Yuan, they should be able to handle it. It shouldn't be a problem to go there."

The weapon spirit Jiuyuan, within his sea of ​​consciousness, warned with a hint of warning, "The power of immortal weapons of the same rank is also greatly affected by the strength of the wielder. With the master's current realm, he may not have an advantage against a Nirvana-level expert controlling an immortal weapon."

"Even if the Bone Emperor controls this demon tower, with Wang Xiongwu and Master Li charging ahead, and me carrying three great immortal artifacts, escaping should not be difficult. This opportunity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Cheng Bai pondered over it and came up with an idea. He asked Shi Chi, "As long as we are careful and follow the suction into the coffin, that should be enough to protect ourselves, right?"

Shi Chi pointed out, "The master's plan is still within my control and is relatively safe. Strictly speaking, the tomb chamber outside this coffin can only be called an underground palace. Inside is the true secret realm, or a secret realm within a secret realm."

Cheng Bai was fully prepared and called out to his teammates: "Sister Bei, come and explore the mysteries of this demon building with me."

The Bone Prison's Three Corpse Demon Tower unleashed its might once again, sweeping over with its powerful, absorbing power. Cheng Bai and his companions, carefully shielded, plunged into it, as if leaping into a dark abyss.

When the main tomb chamber finally returned to calm, the building-like coffin was still standing in its original place, intact without a single crack, as if it had never been damaged.

Cheng Bai's vision suddenly shifted as he stepped onto solid ground, transporting him to another world. The interior of the coffin was truly a hidden world, a spooky yet magnificent underground palace.

"This is..." Cheng Bai pondered and looked around.

The four walls and the dome were magnificent, and the stalactite curtain formed by the wispy stone hung upside down like a waterfall, reflecting the gloomy dark red blood light.

The entrance slowly closed behind him as he came in - it didn't look like a door, but more like a huge mouth busy chewing. As it completely closed, the image depicted on a flat mural completely faded away.

On both sides of the road, human skeletons of all sizes lay scattered chaotically among the strangely shaped stalagmites and pillars, some embedded within the stone, others encased like insects in amber. Each of them emanated a cold, faint glow, adding a touch of eerie atmosphere to the silent secret place.

In comparison, the layout of the roads on the ground is so regular that it is almost solemn. The stone steps wind around the majestic rocks and extend to the square coffin in the distance that is as majestic as a mountain.

Bei Tingjun whispered, "The so-called 'Bone Prison Three Corpses Demon Tower' is actually a coffin. Look at the world inside this tower. The stone coffin is even larger than the entire tower visible from the outside! It's the real coffin."
