Chapter 247 The Strange Coffin

This coffin was so large that it was beyond imagination. Its thickness was much wider than the height of an ordinary person. The golden crystal carbon was so strong that the master who could penetrate it with a single blow with his bare hands must have a very high level of cultivation.

Cheng Bai thought that he could do it even if he transformed into a tyrant giant and used the Six Paths of Bliss Fist to its fullest.

However, shattering the void and connecting two small worlds is completely different from breaking the golden crystal carbon, and there is no comparison between the two.

Yun Juan, who was standing by, understood what was going on and said in shock, "The person who broke the coffin has a much higher level of cultivation than Dabai."

The desire bats hanging on the ceiling have extremely sharp perception abilities, far exceeding those of mortals. They can detect approaching prey from a distance of thousands of miles and wake up four of them one after another.

They curled up into stone balls and spread out their wings that covered their entire bodies, stretching out like two dark clouds, revealing bodies that are roughly human-shaped. The men exposed their arms and the women exposed their vaginas, without wearing a single piece of clothing. Their heads were obviously larger than those of humans, and their faces were extremely ugly, with a mouth full of sharp teeth. They swooped down with flapping wings.

The Desire Demon Bat flew into the Phoenix Force's sensing range. Cheng Bai immediately noticed the unusual movement in the sky. Worried about attracting more enemies, he said, "There are enemies coming. You guys should get into the coffin as soon as possible to take shelter for a while. I will cover your rear."

Four lustful bats, each as big as a house, surrounded and attacked the target on the ground. They could not wait to scream at their prey even when they were still dozens of miles away, sweeping towards them like a raging storm.

Cheng Bai calmly commanded his teammates and mounts to enter the coffin first, then turned around and performed the Eight Immortals Movement Technique, leaving afterimages all over the ground, attracting firepower but hitting nothing.

The Screaming Secret Art seems commonplace now. The sound waves rely on air transmission and are limited by the speed of sound, so their power is far less than that of the Seven Killing Heavenly Sounds.

Cheng Bai easily avoided the attack and fired four sniper bullets with a snap of his fingers. They hit the four desire bats' brows one after another, leaving blood holes and killing them instantly.

Then, Cheng Bai used the rotten wood carving technique, and his figure flashed like a ghost. He quickly approached and stretched out his claws. With four "chi chi chi" sounds, he took out the inner elixir in the chest of the monster.

The four corpses fell straight to the ground with a loud bang. The noise of the battle attracted the attention of dozens of desire bats, which swooped down from the sky.

Cheng Bai had no intention of fighting with him, so he leisurely avoided the battle and jumped into the entrance of the coffin.

The swarms of lustful demon bats did not chase after Cheng Bai and the others. Instead, their target was the remains of their recently dead counterparts. They pounced on them frantically to grab them, dismembered and divided them up in a blink of an eye, and cheered outside the coffin.

"The strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest. I must find a suitable hunting place to accumulate inner elixirs when I have the chance. They are too scarce right now." Cheng Bai thought to himself.

Yun Juan saw him rushing over to join her, so she leaned closer and asked, "What treasure did you get?"

Cheng Bai showed the Desire Demon Bat's inner pill in his hand, winked and whispered, "It's nothing good, four Wuwei Realm Pills."

Where did Yun Juan get such a precious thing? She said happily, "Give me two."

Cheng Bai knew that she was anxious to repair the Ghostly Blade, so he said, "Two will cost 240 million taels of gold."

When Yun Juan heard this, her pouty little mouth was so thick that it could hold an oil bottle. She complained, "It's too expensive. I don't have that much money. We just agreed that I can't keep it all to myself. Everyone who sees it can have a share."

Ningxiang smiled and said, "Even though Juan has no credit, she has worked hard. Why don't I help her out first?"

Cheng Bai just wanted to tease her, so he pretended to be serious and said, "Don't bother with the incense. Just give all four to Juan to repair the sword. It will be much more powerful than before."

With only two Dan Lings, the improvement of the Ghost Light Blade is limited. With four, it is promoted to a higher grade, and the power of the sword is obviously much more considerable.

Yun Juan was secretly delighted, and then she heard Cheng Bai say with a half-smile, "You owe me another favor, so don't forget my kindness."

"I know." Yun Juan snorted, took the four inner pills from him, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

The interior of the coffin was equally quiet and empty, so silent that even the Desire Demon Bats were nowhere to be seen. There was only a smaller coffin parked in the center, which was three hundred miles long, and the view was still shocking.

People were walking around, their figures as small as dust.

After walking around half a circle, I saw a fist mark on the side of the coffin wall, but no other objects were found.

Ningxiang was quite surprised: "The God King's coffin cannot be so deserted. Logically, there should be a lot of burial objects."

Shen Ya carefully examined the traces on the ground and said thoughtfully, "There used to be quite a few things there, but they were looted by those who came first."

Everyone guessed it one after another, but they kept it to themselves and didn't reveal it, which meant that the expedition would end in failure.

Ruan Taoran sighed and said, "We arrived too late. There must have been many guards and precious treasures in the tomb and the coffin. You can imagine how shocking the Divine King's burial objects were."

Li Tong said: "There is more than one door of choice in the tomb outside. Someone may have entered and exited through the Netherworld Road outside the Star Palace. Those who set foot here are extraordinary people."

The Eternal Coffin has existed for an incredibly long time, so it is not surprising that it has been explored by pioneers long ago.

Cheng Bai shrugged and said indifferently: "Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Let's go in and see what's left. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

Yun Juan said: "In my opinion, there is still a coffin inside."

Entering this coffin is like being in a whole new little world. Sure enough, there is another coffin quietly placed there. The material and appearance are almost the same as the previous one, but it is smaller in size and is a hundred miles long.

Cheng Bai became interested and suggested, "Guess how many layers of coffin there are. Is there nine layers in total?"

Li Tong shook his head and said, "The nine-layer coffin is of the Great Emperor standard. Father God King Pu is a top God King with a transcendent bloodline. His status is lower than that of a Great Emperor, but higher than that of an ordinary God King. His coffin should be a seven-layer spirit coffin."

There are still fist-marked holes on the side of the coffin, and judging by the shape, it is obvious that they were made by the same powerful person.

Everyone passed through the fist-shaped hole and entered the coffin again and again. The fourth level was a coffin thirty miles long, the fifth level was reduced to a ten-mile giant coffin, and then there was a three-mile long coffin. The size became smaller and smaller, with coffins within coffins, one layer after another, as if the mystery was about to be solved.

The coffin that finally appeared before his eyes was only one mile long. The material was obviously different from others. It was carefully carved from the trunk of a large tree.

Compared with the six simple and clean large coffins outside, the coffin in front is richly decorated, and is carved with various exquisite patterns such as auspicious clouds in the fairy palace, auspicious beasts and birds, and groups of immortals coming to pay homage. When you look at it, it feels like you are in a fairyland, with an extraordinary aura.

They walked around the coffin and saw that it was intact. Apart from the rich antique charm brought by the long years, there was no longer any big hole with a fist mark.

Li Tong said: "This is the real coffin for burying the eternal divine body bloodline, which is in line with the consistent style of the princes and nobles of the Park father clan."

Cheng Bai looked up at the entire coffin and questioned, "Is there really an Eternal Divine Body hidden in the coffin? Is it the descendant of the Divine King Park's father, or his Qi Sea?"

Shen Ya asked: "Do you want to open it?"

Ningxiang said: "Now that we are here, how can we not take a look?"

The smoker leaped up and lay lightly on the edge of the coffin like a big cat, stretching out his claws to try to push open the coffin lid, but no matter how hard he tried, the coffin lid did not move at all.

He tried to find the weak spot by knocking with his claws, and then used his head and shoulders to push against it. After a while, it was useless. He was deeply surprised and said, "Could it be that this is also a seamless coffin, sealed and connected as a whole?"

With Smoker's current strength, he can control thousands of tons of weight, but he is helpless when facing the coffin and cannot shake it at all.

Cheng Bai could see clearly that the coffin lid was only tightly closed, but not integrated with the coffin body. He smiled and said, "It's not closed, it's just that the coffin lid is too heavy, beyond your ability, come down."

The smoker jumped to the ground and stood still, saying awkwardly, "My Lord, please forgive me for making fun of you. The wood used for the coffin must be the remains of a wood-type spirit that has cultivated into a saint, otherwise it shouldn't be so huge and heavy."

Li Tong said solemnly, "This is the trunk of a large tung tree, a tree of longevity, and its grade is not inferior to that of the Ice and Flame Spring. If used to make a coffin, it will be immortal and incorruptible, and its efficacy is extraordinary. It is not surprising that it contains a small world, but it is surprisingly heavy."

Cheng Bai was eager to try and said, "What a precious treasure! Let me open the coffin." Suddenly his face changed drastically. He stared at the coffin with surprise, as if he had seen a ghost.

A human-shaped shadow suddenly emerged from the gap between the coffin body and the coffin lid. It was so thin that it seemed to have no thickness at all, and floated towards everyone.

Xing Jue cried out in shock: "A ghost has appeared!"

Everyone was shocked and retreated at the same time, trying to avoid the human-shaped shadow. However, no matter how they tried to avoid it, the shadow always followed them and chased them relentlessly, targeting living things.

What’s even more bizarre is that human-shaped shadows emerge one after another from the cracks in the coffins. Their outer contours look similar, but the odd thing is that their facial expressions are different. Some are grinning, some are violent, some are angry, some are resentful, and some are troubled... The eerie atmosphere of the ghosts dancing around is chilling.
