The bronze coffin lay quietly on the ground, surrounded by black gas. Only the place where the Empyrean Fairy stood was free of the black gas.
The giant viciously attacked the Empyrean Fairy, forcing her to leave the bronze coffin. Tang Zheng and Ling'er were the only ones who could move freely.
"Ling'er, watch from the side. I'm going to activate it," Tang Zheng said in a deep voice.
Ling'er worriedly warned, "Master, be careful."
Tang Zheng nodded his head heavily, but he did not touch the bronze coffin with his hands. Instead, he raised War Soul and pierced it into the gap.
Whoosh!
The black gas was like a cat that had smelled the fishy smell of fish. It quickly scurried over and directly rushed towards the War Soul Sword.
Tang Zheng's spirit trembled, he quickly circulated his Qi, his True Qi surged, his Sword Qi was abundant, it intertwined with the black Qi, they were equally matched.
Tang Zheng could clearly feel a bone-chilling power coming from the black Qi, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He thought to himself, I don't believe that I can't deal with you.
With a sudden burst of strength, the bronze coffin actually loosened a little, and an earth-shattering Yin Qi seeped out, making Tang Zheng feel as if he had fallen into an endless ice cave.
He forced himself to endure the trembling of his soul and muttered to himself, "What's inside? It's so cold. Could it be a corpse? This Prehistoric Heavenly Tomb is a product of the Ancient Era. If it really was a corpse, it would have already rotted. "
No, he immediately remembered the Beast King and Qin Shihuang. These powerful cultivators had ways to preserve their bodies, so there might be a lifelike corpse inside.
Xiao Bai sensed Tang Zheng's abnormality and bared his fangs at the bronze coffin as he growled, as if declaring his authority.
Then, it opened its little mouth and spat out a stream of flames, which immediately enveloped the bronze coffin.
"Ah —!"
Tang Zheng was shocked. He didn't expect Xiao Bai to be so bold as to spit fire.
Needless to say, as soon as the flames appeared, the bone-chilling feeling disappeared by a lot. The key was that the black gas seemed to have met its nemesis and retreated with whooshing sounds.
Tang Zheng suddenly had an idea and said, "You still want to escape? Xiao Bai, trap this black gas. "
The Giant Bronze Coffin was related to Tian Chanzi's life and death, so Tang Zheng couldn't be careless. After giving the order, Xiao Bai spat out a few more balls of flames, trapping all the black gas.
The black gas struggled left and right in the flames, but it was unable to break through the defense of the flames. It was like a trapped beast, struggling futilely.
Without the restriction of the black Qi, Tang Zheng's strength increased greatly. With a 'ding' sound, the War Soul Sword bent slightly and finally opened up a large crack.
The flames on the bronze coffin had already disappeared, so Tang Zheng held the coffin lid with both hands and let out a low roar. The coffin lid was as heavy as a thousand catties.
"Rise!"
Tang Zheng used his strength and the coffin lid moved bit by bit.
"Stop!" Tian Chanzi shouted with all his might. His voice was completely different from usual, giving off a creepy feeling.
Before he finished speaking, he had already abandoned the Hundred Change Star Lord and attacked Tang Zheng. The black gas in his hand changed shape and turned into a long spear.
Whiz!
The air surged and automatically divided into two rows. The long spear shot towards Tang Zheng's back. Ling 'er hurriedly shouted, "Master, be careful!" Then, she bravely blocked Tang Zheng's back.
Tang Zheng had an idea. He shouted and used all his strength. The War Soul Sword bent to the limit and was about to break.
Bang!
The coffin lid flew up and hit the cliff with a muffled sound.
Seeing that the long spear was about to pierce through Ling 'er's chest, Xiao Bai quickly transformed. His feet stepped on flames and even his body was burning with raging flames.
Boom!
A monstrous flame wrapped around the long spear. The long spear's attack decreased sharply and stopped in front of Ling 'er, unable to advance any further.
Ling 'er's face was filled with determination. Even if the long spear did not stop, she would definitely not retreat half a step.
The coffin lid opened and Tian Chanzi let out a blood-curdling scream. The long spear directly exploded and turned into nothingness.
No one expected this scene. They could not help but be shocked. Even the Hundred Change Star Lord was dumbstruck. He stomped his feet hatefully: "He actually beat me to it."
Tang Zheng could no longer care about the situation behind him. He stretched his neck and looked into the bronze coffin. When he saw the situation inside the coffin, his face changed greatly. His eyes widened and he was flabbergasted. It was as if he had seen a ghost. He took a few steps back before stopping.
Everyone looked at his reaction in disbelief. They could not help but mutter in their hearts. What exactly did he see in the bronze coffin to have such a big reaction?
Furthermore, it was obvious that he was frightened.
"Tang Zheng, what's wrong with you?" Empyrean Fairy pushed back the giant and asked curiously.
Ling 'er also stared at Tang Zheng, wondering why her master had such a big reaction.
Even the Hundred Change Star Lord was not in a hurry to rush over to take a look. He wanted to know what was inside. In fact, he only knew a little about the situation inside the bronze coffin and did not know the details.
Last time, when he was on the Island nation, he used the Mountain River Blood Sacrifice Array to welcome the return of the Devil Clan. Although there were only a hundred of them, their cultivations were not weak. Furthermore, they brought him an unexpected news.
It turned out that the return of the Devil Clan this time was to prepare for the return of the entire Devil Clan. Back then, when the Devil God returned, it did not have much of an effect. Therefore, the Devil Clan finally found a glimmer of hope this time.
It turned out that the Devil Clan had accidentally discovered a secret of the Devil Clan's ancestor, and that was a huge bronze coffin. This huge bronze coffin was buried in the Prehistoric Heavenly Tomb in the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains.
There was no reliable evidence as to who was buried in this huge bronze coffin, but one thing was certain. There was a huge secret hidden within, a secret that was enough to change this world.
Originally, the Hundred Change Star Lord did not believe the words of the Devil Clan, but after the other party swore and even sent an elite to follow him back to the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains, he gradually believed it.
As for the Devil Clan on that ship, it was just bait. The Hundred Change Star Lord had long since had a certain understanding of this modern society, and knew that his actions in the Island nation could not be hidden from the authorities. Thus, he might as well build a plank road and secretly send those Devil Clan s to their deaths, while he brought an elite Devil Clan s to quietly return to the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains.
The two sides worked together and investigated the entire way. In the end, they found this canyon in the Prehistoric Heavenly Tomb. The Devil Clan was certain that the bronze coffin was right below.
However, legend had it that the bronze coffin was as heavy as Mount Tai. Even the Hundred Change Star Lord was unable to bring it up by himself.
The Hundred Change Star Lord had raised a question. Why couldn't they just go down to the bottom of the canyon and open the bronze coffin? Why did they have to go through so much trouble to get the bronze coffin out?
The Devil Clan was clearly prepared and gave a convincing answer.
It turned out that there was a mysterious power in the canyon. This power not only protected the bronze coffin, but also imprisoned it.
It was as if this was an arrangement made by someone back then. They wanted the bronze coffin to remain silent at the bottom of the canyon, and no one would care about it.
If the bronze coffin was opened in the canyon, it would cause a huge reaction. All the people in the canyon would die, and not a single one would be left alive.
Only by taking the bronze coffin out and losing the restriction of that mysterious power would the true secret of the bronze coffin be discovered, and there would not be any negative reactions.
Therefore, when the Hundred Change Star Lord said that he would definitely die after opening the bronze coffin, he was not just trying to scare him.
But now that things had come to this, what was done was done, and there was no turning back.
Seeing Tang Zheng retreat as if he had seen a ghost, the Hundred Change Star Lord also wanted to take a look at what was inside. But when he remembered the instructions of the Devil Clan, he hesitated.
Those Devil Clan members had already died at the hands of Tian Chanzi, so they would not be able to see this scene, let alone use this opportunity to let the Devil Clan return.
The Hundred Change Star Lord did not care about the demands of the Inner Demons. Now, he only had eyes for the bronze coffin.
"How could this be? How could this be?" Tang Zheng muttered to himself, as if he was possessed.
The Empyrean Fairy and Ling'er stood on either side of him worriedly. They shook his arm and asked, "What did you see?"
Tang Zheng turned a deaf ear to them and continued to exclaim, "Too inconceivable, too inconceivable!"
The Hundred Change Star Lord finally could not take it anymore. His heart felt like it was being clawed by a cat. In a flash, he rushed toward the bronze coffin. The Empyrean Fairy also wanted to rush over, but she was half a beat slower.
The Hundred Change Star Lord also stood in the air above the bronze coffin. A pair of big eyes stared at it without blinking.
His whole body shook violently, and his face became extremely ugly. He muttered to himself, "How could it be me? How could it be me?"
The Empyrean Fairy was confused. Finally, she rushed over and took a closer look. A familiar face came into view.
There was a person lying in the bronze coffin. She was very lifelike, and her face was ruddy. The most inconceivable thing was that she was the Empyrean Fairy.
The Empyrean Fairy felt like she was looking into a mirror. Seeing a person who looked exactly like her lying in the bronze coffin, she was afraid that anyone would be stimulated.
She was alive and well, so why was she lying in the bronze coffin?
Moreover, this bronze coffin had been buried here for many years. If someone had found an identical person and placed her inside, it could not be so coincidental.
The Empyrean Fairy shook her head and took a few steps back. She muttered to herself, "Impossible, what is going on?"
Tang Zheng, the Empyrean Fairy and the Hundred Change Star Lord all had the same reaction. Ling 'er also wanted to go over and see what was going on, but Tang Zheng stopped her and said, "Don't go!"
Ling 'er stared at Tang Zheng with her big black eyes and asked, "Master, what is inside that made the three of you have such a big reaction?"
Tang Zheng swallowed his saliva and hesitated for a long time. Then he said, "There is a person who looks exactly like me inside."
Tang Zheng suspected that one of them was a Celestial who just so happened to look exactly like him. But there was no such coincidence in this world.
Ling 'er covered her mouth and cried out in alarm, "Master, you are alive and standing here, how can it be you inside?"
