In that lifeless tomb, Su Zimo's spirit perception did not seem to be of much use.
However, the moment he caught sight of the tomb chamber, he sensed a hint of danger that vanished right after.
Legend has it that ancient Mighty Figures possessed boundless Dharmic powers and could even hide from the heavens with their methods, let alone Su Zimo's spirit perception!
"It's fine, follow me."
Little Fatty smiled and walked towards the seventh tunnel.
Su Zimo and the others followed closely behind.
Linghu looked around with shifty eyes.
"Bro, Fatty, those four coffins look rather old and no one has opened them before. Let's go and pry them open. There might be treasures inside."
Linghu chuckled.
"Don't go!"
Su Zimo shook his head with a sharp gaze.
Linghu quietened down after being glared at by Su Zimo and did not dare to have any other thoughts.
Right then, a commotion came from the four corners of the tomb chamber!
Crack! Crack!
The sound was extremely ear-piercing, as though the coffin lids were being slid against the coffins!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! The next moment, an even more sinister sound echoed in the tomb chamber.
Everyone turned towards the sound instinctively.
The four coffins at the sides of the tomb chamber seemed to be pushed by someone as gigantic openings appeared. Dense shadows crawled out from within at an extremely fast speed, encircling everyone like a tidal wave!
"Corpse Bugs!"
Little Fatty exclaimed.
The shadows were a swarm of black Corpse Bugs!
Every single Corpse Bug was pitch-black and larger than an adult's palm. They had a thick carapace on their backs and waved six scarlet claws that were incomparably sharp. Even though they had no eyes or ears, they could sense everyone's location clearly!
Everyone's faces were pale.
Little Fox was so scared that she hid in Su Zimo's embrace, not daring to raise her head.
"Hurry, let's go!"
Su Zimo hollered.
Everyone soared into the air and charged towards the seventh tunnel.
This group of corpses actually leaped into the air like a black torrent, surging from all directions, sealing off all exits!
Su Zimo was about to make a move when Qing Qing reverted to her true form and howled into the skies. She channeled her bloodline and the temperature around her soared!
Qing Qing opened her mouth and spat out a jade-green flame. She turned her head and burned in all directions!
The dark green flames condensed into an impenetrable light shield!
Although Corpse Worms were ferocious, all living things had their weaknesses. They also had things that they were afraid of.
That was the flame of a Divine Beast!
The fire that Qing Qing used her bloodline to activate was no ordinary fire.
That was the flame controlled by the divine bird, Bi Fang – it was not inferior to the flames of the Soaring Serpent!
The black torrent formed by corpse bugs surged forward and crashed into the emerald light barrier. Countless corpse bugs screamed, fell, and struggled in the flames before finally turning into ashes.
Everyone was shocked.
With the Bi Fang's Flame, they would definitely be able to break through the obstruction of the corpse worms and enter the tunnel on the other side!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Right then, four deafening bangs sounded from the four corners of the tomb. A shuddering aura descended instantly and filled every single corner of the tomb.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat!
Against that aura, the initially blazing Bi Fang's Flame even showed signs of extinguishing!
"So strong!"
Su Zimo gasped and did not have time to think. He channeled his Jin Dan to its limits and released the Jin Dan phenomenon instantly!
Rumble!
Boom! The firmaments split open and lightning flashed.
Countless stars and meteors fell and a torrent surged!
A gigantic demon beast descended and suppressed the raging torrent with its four legs. Its shell supported the shattered firmaments and protected everyone beneath it. It reared its head and roared into the skies with a clear gaze that could not be stared at!
The Primordial Divine Turtle had arrived!
At the same time, four powerful auras had already broken through the corpse bugs and Bi Fang's Flame, arriving before everyone.
They were four skeletons!
To be precise, they were four skeletons from tens of thousands of years ago!
The fact that their bones did not decay after 10,000 years meant that the owners of the four skeletons must have been Mighty Figures of the Conjoint Body realm in the past!
Only the bones of Conjoint Body Mighty Figures that had been cultivated for 10,000 years and were permeated by Dharmic powers would not decay.
Snap!
Against the Primordial Divine Turtle, the four skeletons were expressionless and their glabella shone with a strange light. They attacked at the same time and shattered the Divine Turtle instantly.
The Jin Dan phenomenon dissipated the moment it was formed!
Although they were only four skeletons that had lost their Dharmic powers, the power contained within the bones could shatter the Jin Dan phenomenon with ease!
Not to mention four skeletons, even if there was only one skeleton, it would be enough to kill everyone here!
Su Zimo's Jin Dan was connected to the Primordial Divine Turtle after it shattered and was shaken. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his mind raced as he thought of a countermeasure.
The scarlet light in monkey's eyes surged wildly and he could go berserk at any moment.
Little Fatty seemed to be frozen in shock and no one knew what he was thinking.
The others were pale and despair filled their eyes.
Against the skeletons of Mighty Figures, everyone's strength was as insignificant as ants!
"Ouch!"
All of a sudden!
As though he thought of something, Little Fatty exclaimed and bit the tip of his tongue gently, spitting out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he chanted a series of strange and complicated incantations.
With the augmentation of the incantations, the mouthful of blood floated in midair without dissipating.
As for the four skeletons, they stopped attacking as well.
However, the glabella of the four skeletons continued to flicker.
The incantations became more hurried and concentrated.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Little Fatty's forehead as well.
Gradually, the mouthful of blood split into four droplets that arrived at the heads of the four skeletons and dripped down slowly.
The glowing glabella of the four skeletons extinguished slowly.
The four Mighty Figure skeletons turned around slowly and returned to the coffin in the corner of the tomb chamber. They crawled in and closed the lid casually.
The black tide formed by the Corpse Bugs around them retreated gradually as well and returned to the coffin, vanishing before long.
There was a loud rumble!
The coffin closed once more.
Peace returned to the tomb chamber once more.
If not for the fact that the Corpse Bugs were still emitting black smoke on the ground, Just Now, it would have seemed like an illusion.
"W-What is that?"
Shi Jian was drenched in cold sweat as he asked while panting.
"Those four coffins are a backup plan left behind by the tomb master. If outsiders barge in, they'll alarm these existences and kill them!"
Little Fatty explained with a lingering fear as well.
Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Just Now, that incantation is from Tomb Sect's supreme classic, the Dragon Quake Sutra. Every legacy disciple has to memorize it. No one knows what it's used for and no one has used it before either. "
"However, master once mentioned that this incantation can prove one's identity as a disciple of Tomb Sect at critical moments!"
Normally speaking, the tombs of other cultivators would not have such a terrifying killing move as a backup plan.
Naturally, that incantation was not of much use and was of little value most of the time.
However, the owner of the tomb before them had set up layers of restrictions so that those of Tomb Sect could obtain his inheritance.
That was where the incantation came in handy.
This time round, Shi Jian understood and said with lingering fear, "No matter what, I'm not going to return to the tomb of Tomb Sect anymore."
Right then, Su Zimo suddenly said, "We'll talk about this later. Little Fatty, hurry and find the main tomb. Just Now, there's movement in the depths of the tomb. There's someone else inside! "
"You mean …" Little Fatty's eyes lit up.
There was a high chance that his senior brother had arrived before him and had yet to leave!
