Facing an ancient mystery was a difficult choice that filled one with the desire to explore but at the same time filled their hearts with fear. Those from the Eternal Lord Star naturally wanted to uncover the reason for the mysterious deaths of their ancestors.
Now, the boundless dark void had disappeared and only a giant coffin had appeared. This made their thoughts even stronger.
"That's right. Perhaps we can blow away the fog and restore the truth of the past. The terrifying crisis is most likely over," another noble responded. This was a major event that transcended the ancient times. If they could find out the truth, it would bring them great prestige and benefits.
The eyes of some arrogant nobles flickered. A hundred thousand years ago was an ancient and mysterious era. There must have been a reason for four great saints who could sweep through the starry sky to make a move and muster such a large force.
It wasn't that the four Great Sages didn't reap any rewards. They locked the ancient coffin and embarked on their return journey. That was the item they were escorting, and it might be a priceless immortal item.
Of course, the danger was obvious, but it was worth the risk. If they could gain something, it would most likely have a profound impact that would shake this era.
"You guys go and investigate!" A noble ordered a few suicidal warriors to go forward and investigate with their lives.
Among all kinds of terrifying legends, there was no such thing as the ghost ship taking the initiative to attack the spectators. Sending a few suicidal warriors to investigate shouldn't bring disaster to the fleet.
Regardless of the era, there was no lack of people who walked on the edge of a blade and lingered between life and death. Their choices determined their fate. Different lives had different manifestations.
The strength of these black-clothed people wasn't weak. Two of them had already severed their paths. Of course, this was also the reason why they were willing to become suicidal warriors. Only by receiving the nurturing of the ancient undying clans could they obtain precious medicines and evolution fluids to advance. Now, the time to show their value had arrived.
Without a sound or a single word, they flew towards the huge black mass of ships. This was a tomb of death built from a forest of steel. It had existed in the universe for a hundred thousand years.
The ancient saints and nobles were all paying close attention. Everyone held their breath as they watched the suicidal warriors enter the fleet. Perhaps they could unravel the eternal mystery.
More importantly, if there was no danger, this would be an unimaginable amount of wealth. Whoever obtained it would immediately become an overlord of a region.
The four Great Sage level motherships, the boundless corvettes, could sweep through the star domain a hundred thousand years ago, and now, they still could, not damaged.
Soon, the six deathsworn approached the four twenty-thousand-meter-long Great Sage -class ships and entered the space where they clustered.
"They're getting closer. Nothing unexpected has happened!"
Everyone became excited, and even some nobles couldn't hold themselves back anymore. If there was no danger, they would rush over to receive this batch of peerless saint artifacts.
If the four Great Sage's corpses were still there, there must be divine treasures left behind!
"Quick, let's see what's different about that coffin!" A Royal Noble impatiently said.
The most uncertain factor was naturally the huge coffin. Perhaps all the danger was coming from it. Otherwise, why would the four ancient Great Sage tie it up?
The death warriors were very careful. When they were three kilometers away, they circled around the coffin and gestured to this side. They didn't discover any danger.
Suddenly, a person's expression seemed to shake, causing the cultivators on this side to become nervous. They all looked in the direction he was pointing.
"We can't see it from this angle. Move the mothership and go around to take a look!" An ancient saint said.
Everyone began to move to another part of the starry sky to take a look. Ye Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. After changing the angle, he further discovered the secret of the ancient coffin.
The other corner of the coffin had a crack moved. To be more precise, there were several cracks. There was a coffin inside, not just one layer, but several layers of coffins made of the same material.
"One, two, three …"
Eight layers of the ancient coffin had been moved away. When it reached the ninth layer, it was stopped and couldn't move. Because the angle of the movement was very small, one wouldn't notice it if they didn't look carefully. Only the last layer of the coffin was undamaged. It was like a solid body without a single crack.
Divine Nine Layer Coffin!
Ye Fan was shocked. Just as he guessed, this huge coffin was not simple at all. It was the coffin of a deity from countless years ago, and it should have been buried above the nine heavens.
At this moment, he finally understood why the Eternal Kingdom mobilized so many people and sent out the four world-shaking Great Sage 100,000 years ago. It was because what they wanted to do was not ordinary.
They actually crossed the nine heavens and stole the coffin of a deity!
"The four Great Sage forcefully opened the eight layers of the coffin, but when they truly touched the ninth layer, they encountered a devastating disaster!"
That was the ancient Great Sage, invincible in the heavens and earth. In the era when the ancient emperors didn't appear, who could compete with him? He swept through the nine heavens and ten earths with no opponents.
However, the four Great Sage worked together and led this boundless fleet to deal with a dead deity, but they were completely annihilated.
Ye Fan's body was cold from head to toe. It wasn't the first time he saw the Nine Layer Coffin of the Mythological Era. This was because he had one in his cauldron. Killing Saint Qi Luo and the others suggested that he throw it away and bury it in the universe, but he didn't and still kept it by his side.
Back then, he used his golden divine blood to open the outer layers of the coffin. Thinking about it now, he felt a chill run through his body. If he continued to open it like these Great Sage, he would probably have died many years ago, right?
A deity had died a long time ago, but it still couldn't be touched by the stunning Great Sage. What kind of extreme combat power did this represent?
"Go to the Great Sage's ship and take a look," a noble ordered.
Two deathsworn boarded a magnificent ship. Even though time was merciless and time flew by, the Great Sage -level ship was still intact and flowing with a dim luster.
The two deathsworn boarded, and not long after, someone came out and waved excitedly at them, telling them that there was an important discovery inside.
"The physical body of the Great Sage is undamaged!"
There were only eight words, but they seemed to have a strange magical power. Both the nobles and the ancient saints couldn't sit still and were all excited.
The value of that mysterious coffin was definitely immeasurable, but they couldn't determine its level yet. However, the divine treasury of the Great Sage could be seen. It was easy to imagine that it was worth it to obtain a corpse. There must be a top secret within their bodies.
Perhaps they could find the seventh or even the eighth stage of the evolution fluid. One had to know that 100,000 years ago was a glorious peak that produced many Great Sages. It was inseparable from the most powerful evolution fluid. Those four were the rulers of that time, so how could they not have immortal elixirs?
There was a commotion!
An ancient saint spoke, forcefully suppressing everyone's impulses. Even though the crisis seemed to have been resolved and the ghost ship didn't devour lives like it did in ancient times, they still couldn't be careless.
The giants discussed for a while, and finally, an ancient saint brought a group of people over to board the Great Sage's ship to move the divine treasury.
The deathsworn soldiers that went over earlier couldn't even get close to the body of the fallen Great Sage. They were stopped by the terrifying supreme being dao marks, and if they took another step forward, their bodies would be crushed to pieces.
An ancient saint personally led the group, but they didn't immediately enter the forbidden region. Instead, they stopped at the side of the dark mass of ships for a long time. Only after seeing that there were no problems with the deathsworn soldiers inside for a long time did they feel at ease.
Over a hundred people boarded a Great Sage ship. Soon after, loud laughter sounded. It was clear that they were extremely excited after seeing the world shocking divine treasury.
"Haha … perhaps we can obtain the Great Sage level evolution fluid. Everyone, there is no danger here. All of the warships and motherships are ours!"
A half saint laughed loudly as he walked out from the ancient ship. This type of news immediately made everyone excited, their bodies all trembling.
Forget about everything else, if they could obtain this type of glorious fleet, then it would be worth it. The twelve great king clans' strength and backing would advance by leaps and bounds!
"Four Great Sage level ancient ships, as well as many saint king level warships, and there are even exceptional mechas!"
Everyone immediately erupted into chaos, all of them becoming stupefied. Then, they almost went crazy, all of them wishing to rush forward.
Suddenly, an ancient saint's expression changed, hurriedly shouting, "Not good, disaster has reappeared, hurry and return!"
His face was snow-white, veins jumping on his forehead. He roared loudly, truly wishing he could rush over and bring everyone out.
"What happened? What happened?" Everyone was confused, all of them looking forward.
"What did they touch? Why did the ancient coffin become dark, unable to see through it, turning into an expanse of primal chaos?" Everyone was alarmed.
In the past, wasn't the ancient ghost ship just like this? The four Great Sage ships were covered in darkness, a boundless void, representing death and loneliness.
Now, this type of situation reappeared!
"Hurry and return!"
Everyone cried out loudly, not even the saints able to calm down. Divine light erupted from their eyes, staring rigidly forward.
However, everything was too late. The hundred or so individuals all lost their auras, entering the ancient ship, thus disappearing.
"No!"
Many giants cried out loudly. The terrifying legend of the ancient ghost ship reappeared, even devouring a saint, cutting off his path of life.
Weng!
Suddenly, the void trembled, a figure rushing out from the Great Sage ship. That ancient saint appeared, doing everything he could to struggle, wishing to escape. His face was full of fear, unknown what he had encountered.
"Save me …" He reached out his hand with difficulty, rushing out from the ancient ship, wishing to break free from the fleet.
Outside, an ancient saint saw this, quickly lending a hand, because that saint was only a dozen or so steps away from the ghost ship region. Even though each step was difficult, he was still going to break out.
However, something even more terrifying happened. It was as if there was an invisible large hand pulling at that escaping individual, slowly pulling him backwards, unable to come out.
Meanwhile, the ancient saint who rushed to the ghost ship also released a great cry of fear, his face devoid of all color, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing.
He himself couldn't budge an inch, as if he was pulled by an invisible hand, entering the ghost ship region. Then, his facial features distorted, silently disappearing into the void.
Everyone's backs were drenched in cold sweat. These were two saints! To them, they were unrivalled existences that could sweep through an ancient star!
Yet at this moment, they seemed so helpless and weak, being taken away just like that. This was an absolutely terrifying scene!
"Why? What exactly is going on?" Many kings were trembling.
However, this was not the end. A strange fluctuation spread out, sweeping towards everyone. They were about to become a part of the ghost ship!
"No!" Everyone was terrified, and they roared in anger.
Ye Fan's heart was even more shaken. Others didn't know, but he felt it the clearest. This terrifying fluctuation actually contained a wave of void power, similar to the Ji Clan's great dao of void, and it was coming for him!
"Void Emperor, he is … Void Emperor!" Ye Fan was astonished. The Divine Nine-Layered Coffin buried above the nine heavens might belong to the Void Emperor.
"No, there are two other types of terrifying power, not any weaker than this void power. They are tangling with it." His heart surged with monstrous waves.
Three ancient emperors, their powers were tangling with each other!
After thinking of this possibility, Ye Fan was shocked to the extreme. How was this possible? But … it was indeed true!
"It's over, we are also going to become a part of the ghost ship!" At this moment, many kings were in despair.
