Chapter 1535: Black Coffin

Chapter 1535: Chapter 1535: Black Coffin

"With us here, the Corpse Emperor Gate is not going to succeed."

Ye Yun smiled faintly.

If the Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor hadn’t had a grudge with him, then this operation of the Corpse Emperor Gate would probably have succeeded.

"Alright, then let’s hurry into the Tomb of the Immortal as well. I want to see what Immortals look like..."

Leng Youyue gave a bewitching smile, curiosity shining in her beautiful eyes.

"Let’s go."

Ye Yun waved his hand.

Little Color piloted the Celestial Boat and followed along.

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor and The Nineteenth Ancestor and the others flew rapidly all the way, passed through a long and narrow burial passage, and then entered a grand and imposing great hall.

This great hall was vast in area, incomparably deep.

Stars filled the sky, radiating starlight, covering the entire dome above.

Below, there was a giant pool, and inside the pool was entirely black liquid.

"Emperor Ancestor, could the black liquid in the pool be from the Iron Vortex?"

The Big-headed Boy said.

"It should be."

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor’s eyes burned hot, he licked his lips and slowly walked toward that enormous black pool.

The liquid in the pool did not flow; it reflected the myriad stars, looking extraordinarily gorgeous from afar.

Everyone walked to the edge of the pool.

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor’s gaze flickered, strands of divine light shot out, probing the bottom of the pool.

"There’s a coffin!"

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor laughed, joy appearing on his face.

Buried in the coffin was certainly an Immortal.

At this moment, the Immortal Aura around the pool was already incomparably dense.

This kind of powerful Immortal Aura, if one’s cultivation base was below the God-Emperor Realm, one simply could not endure it.

"Everyone, let’s haul it up!"

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor ordered.

"Yes, Emperor Ancestor."

The Nineteenth Ancestor all took action; the Bronze Coffins behind them floated above the pool, and from them stretched out thick Bronze Chains.

The Bronze Chains plunged into the black liquid like swimming dragons, sinking all the way to the bottom, tightly binding that coffin.

"Rise!"

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor suddenly shouted.

Hum—

All the Bronze Coffins simultaneously burst out with cyan light, the Bronze Chains went taut, clanking as they began to slowly retract.

"So heavy, worthy of being an Immortal’s coffin!"

The bewitching beauty exclaimed in surprise.

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor did not move; even with the Nineteenth Ancestor joining forces, they only managed to shift the coffin a tiny bit.

Bang!

A thick Bronze Chain fell from midair, coiling around the coffin and violently dragging it.

At this moment.

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor had made his move.

With the Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor of Half-step Immortal Boundary helping, the coffin began to be slowly dragged.

After the time of one incense stick.

With a crashing sound, as the black liquid surged, a black coffin emerged above the pool.

"Hahaha, an Immortal!"

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor laughed loudly and rushed toward the black coffin.

The Nineteenth Ancestor also quickly gathered around.

The black coffin radiated powerful ripples, but with everyone working together, it posed no obstacle.

"Emperor Ancestor, please open the coffin. We also want to see what an Immortal looks like..."

The Big-headed Boy said with a smile.

"Alright."

The Nine Calamaties Emperor Ancestor’s expression suddenly turned solemn; he placed both hands on the coffin lid and pushed hard.

The coffin lid was slowly pushed open.

A man in a black robe appeared within everyone’s sight.

At the same time.

Whoosh—

A powerful Immortal Aura surged forth; The Nineteenth Ancestor were battered and stumbled by this aura, some even retreating.

Only the Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor remained unmoving; his eyes burned hot as he stared fixedly at the black-robed man inside the coffin.

"Such a fine prize, our painstaking efforts were not in vain..."

The Nine Calamaties Emperor Ancestor murmured to himself.

Somewhere above the pool, on a Celestial Boat, Ye Yun and the others were also observing this already dead man inside the coffin.

"So this is an Immortal from the Three Immortals Sea..."

Leng Youyue stared unblinkingly, her heart extremely shaken.

"Half-step Immortal Monarch?"

Ye Yun examined him for a while, a hint of shock appearing on his face.

The person in this coffin was actually not a mere Immortal Boundary cultivator, but had already reached the Peak of the Tenth Layer of the Immortal Realm.

Half-step Immortal Monarch Boundary.

Such a cultivation base was even a slight notch higher than Little Flower.

Little Flower was at the Tenth Layer of the Immortal Realm.

"Master, there’s another coffin beneath the pool..."

Little Flower’s gaze flickered, and she suddenly lowered her voice.

"Another one..."

Ye Yun glanced over, shock once again appearing on his face.

Right below the original coffin, there was yet another coffin.

Only, this coffin was sunken into the pool bottom; if the upper coffin wasn’t moved, one simply could not see that another was pressed beneath it.

Gurgle gurgle...

A sloshing sound echoed; that coffin actually floated up on its own.

"What is this..."

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor, who was examining the Immortal Corpse, suddenly spotted another coffin surfacing, drifting atop the black liquid, and was frightened out of his wits.

This coffin was also black.

The two coffins were identical in size.

The strange thing, however, was that this coffin had no Immortal Aura.

The Nineteenth Ancestor slowly approached.

The bewitching beauty called out, "Emperor Ancestor, why is there another coffin here?"

"No idea."

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor shook his head.

A withered old man hesitated and said, "Should we open it and take a look?"

"Let’s see. Maybe there’s another Immortal Corpse inside!"

The Big-headed Boy said with a grin.

Every extra Immortal Corpse meant one more chance for The Nineteenth Ancestor.

"Open it and take a look."

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor also nodded.

The Big-headed Boy reached out to push the coffin lid, but the instant his hand touched it, the coffin abruptly lit up with a layer of black light, beneath which appeared a layer of strange runes.

"Ah..."

The Big-headed Boy screamed miserably and jerked his hand back; his palm had turned pitch-black, as if it had been charred.

"Damn it, this coffin has a forbidden seal..."

The Big-headed Boy said bitterly.

The old crone said in a deep voice, "Let’s work together to break this seal..."

The others all nodded.

For a time, The Nineteenth Ancestor unleashed attacks on this second coffin.

After a storm of bombardment, about the time of one incense stick passed, and that layer of runes was finally broken.

"I’d like to see just who is lying in this coffin!"

The Big-headed Boy took the lead; this time he didn’t dare use his hand and instead drove his Bronze Ancient Coffin, forcibly pushing open the coffin lid.

The coffin lid opened.

Inside, there wasn’t a complete person, only a pair of hands and a pair of feet.

"How could this be?"

The Big-headed Boy’s eyes bulged as he spoke in disbelief.

The other Nineteenth Ancestor were also dumbfounded.

How could such a thing appear in this coffin?

Only hands and feet—then where was the body?

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor came over.

He carefully examined the hands and feet, his brows knitting as he slowly analyzed, "This doesn’t seem to be an Immortal..."

The old crone asked, "Emperor Ancestor, if it’s not an Immortal, then what is it?"

"Hard to say, but it gives me a sense of closeness."

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor said slowly.

"Now that Emperor Ancestor says so, I seem to feel the same..."

The bewitching beauty said.

"That makes it even stranger. Just whose hands and feet are these inside the coffin?"

The old crone muttered in thought.

"Put it away for now..."

The Nine Calamaties Corpse Emperor ordered.

The old crone flicked her hand, raising the Storage Ring on her hand, preparing to store away this coffin.

Boom!

The Storage Ring instantly exploded.
