Many cultivators fled for their lives, and many were almost scared out of their wits. These two insects lived up to their name of killing gods, and they were probably not too far away from pure-blooded ancestral insects. They had the cultivation of a Saint, and their bodies were even more powerful. They could definitely kill Saints, and no one could defeat them!
"Run!" Everyone left without looking back, fleeing toward the small world of the temple on the 32nd level. They planned to leave this place completely and not go any deeper.
At this time, it was difficult to have a Saint Weapon, and those who entered would probably all be killed. Only by using a Sovereign Weapon could they save their lives, but only a few Divine Dynasties and Holy Lands had one.
However, when everyone fled, some people went the opposite way, directly rushing toward the small world of the temple on the 34th level, disappearing into the stone door in the blink of an eye.
People's thoughts were different, and it was impossible for them to be the same. No matter what the situation was, there would always be lunatics who did not fear death.
In the blink of an eye, the small world of the temple on the 33rd level was quiet. Everyone had fled, and even someone as powerful as Qi Luo, a Half Saint, fled madly, not daring to pretend to be deep.
"I say, leader of assassins, with your fearless spirit of assassination, you can take the chestnut from the fire now, and bring out that heaven-defying stone box," the large black dog urged.
Everyone saw that there was a celestial material on the altar — Celestial Tear Green-gold. Who knew what even more heaven-defying thing was in the stone box, because there were two Saint Grade divine insects guarding it.
Qi Luo did not say anything, and sat on the bull-like Black Emperor. He stopped running, and treated it as a mount, almost making it kneel down.
"Woof, you rotten old man!" The Black Emperor barked.
Qi Luo did not want to be targeted by this black dog that could carve the Great Emperor Formation, so it was not too much. He pushed off its body, and leaped forward.
"Grave robber, don't you have a unique skill? You can also try." The large black dog did not give up, and moved closer to Duan De.
Duan De's heart moved, and he actually wanted to stop, thinking.
"Fatty, don't tell me you're really tempted. That thing even eats primordial spirits, and if you're caught, your body and soul will be destroyed," the old blind man warned.
"I feel that stone box is really like a small coffin. Although it is only the size of a palm, its style is very similar to the legendary ancient coffin of the gods," Duan De said to himself.
"Are there palm-sized gods?" The monkey sneered. He had survived since the Immemorial Era, so he knew more about the legends of the gods than everyone else.
"Although it is too small, the style is right. I have studied ancient coffins a lot." Duan De pondered.
"Let's go!" Qi Luo kicked his butt. Now was not the time to be absent-minded, because his life could easily be in danger, and even he could not deal with it.
"That's not right. Those two dragons or divine insects are dead. They aren't living creatures!" Dongfang Ye suddenly opened his mouth. He had lived in the deep mountains all year round, so he was very sensitive to the Qi of all kinds of wild beasts.
The few of them were startled. The two God Slaying Bugs did not chase after them. This was indeed illogical. That kind of existence that was even more powerful than the Primordial Vicious Beasts would destroy the heavens and earth once it unleashed its might.
At first, there were four Half Sage level God Insects that had revived and rushed out, giving people the impression that the two True Dragon-like God Slaughtering Insects were also alive.
At this moment, they had already flown out of the thirty-third floor. The stone door was still closed tightly. Looking inside, they did not see the two Saint level God Slaughtering Insects.
"It is very risky to go back like this. If they are alive, we will die for sure," Qi Luo said.
"I will go back. Otherwise, I will also think of a way to go to the deepest part of the ancestral temple." Ye Fan said.
"I am confident that the two divine insects really do not have life fluctuations." Dongfang Ye said with certainty.
"Savage's intuition has always been very accurate. He has been in contact with wild beasts all year round, so he is most likely not wrong. There is no time now. Maybe the others will figure it out later." Duan De said.
"How about this, don't all go in, just in case." Ye Fan said.
In the end, he and Qi Luo carried the Heaven Devouring Evil Jar with them and prepared to go in. At the same time, Ji Ziyue would not leave no matter what. She wanted to stay by Ye Fan's side. The others were waiting outside.
The stone door was not closed. After Ye Fan and the other two went in, they began to imitate all kinds of miserable cries. It sounded very mournful and transmitted into the small world of the temple on the thirty-second floor.
The people who were running heard the mournful cries coming through the stone door. They were frightened and ran even faster. They were scared out of their wits. They knew that even the ancient saints would die with a grievance. As long as the two God Slaughtering Insects were alive, they would definitely be invincible!
Ye Fan, Qi Luo, and Ji Ziyue used the Heaven Devouring Evil Jar together and let it hover above their heads. Black light fell down and tightly protected them.
They returned to the front of the altar. Although the stone had been split open, the blood in the stone trough was still flowing. It formed an ancient and strange pattern and fell into the altar.
The one meter tall stone palace was almost perfect. It could be said to be the work of the gods. If it was magnified a thousand times, it would definitely be a towering Immortal Celestial Palace.
The two God Slaughtering Insects coiled around. Their whole bodies were shining. They were as domineering as real dragons. Their bodies were vigorous and powerful.
"They're really dead!" Qi Luo said.
Ye Fan carefully observed and heaved a sigh of relief. There were two holes in the divine source that sealed them. He didn't know which era it was from, but they must have come out before. Although they went back in later, the seal was broken in the end.
Qi Luo broke open the divine source block and took out the two God Slaughtering Insects. They were dead but not broken. Although their essence had almost dissipated, there were still traces of saint might.
If not for the Heaven Devouring Evil Jar, ordinary people wouldn't be able to approach the two divine insects the moment they left the divine source block. This was the power of the dragon-like divine insects.
"This is really good stuff. The ancient saints would usually return to the dao after they passed away and refine themselves in the heaven and earth. Very few people could preserve their corporeal bodies."
Qi Luo's one eye shot out a bright divine radiance. This was a rare divine material that could be used as an incarnation. One had to know that the corpses of the two divine insects were much more powerful than the bodies of the ancient saints. To the old killer, it was like a pair of divine wings.
"This really does look like a small coffin," Ji Ziyue said curiously as she took the stone box into her hand.
The three of them carefully observed for a while and were all shocked. The blood dripping from the blood grooves would fall into the stone palace and then converge on this small stone coffin along the illusionary lines inside the stone palace.
This was really strange. Were they going to use blood to water this peculiar small coffin? What was the use of this? They couldn't figure it out no matter how they thought about it.
"In the past, someone had once used blood to water it. Moreover, it was at least the blood of a saint! " Ji Ziyue said. She used her delicate hand to caress the stone box. There were indeed traces of blood on it. Even though more than two hundred thousand years had passed and the essence had long dissipated, it was still the blood of a saint after all. It was still dark red and dried up on the surface.
Ye Fan and Qi Luo felt their scalps go numb. What was this thing that actually wanted to use the blood of a saint to water it? Then, they immediately understood. The blood grooves on the destroyed sacrificial altar had a great use. It was not an ordinary living sacrifice at all!
"The blood grooves are flowing with saint blood …" Even Qi Luo shivered.
Could it be as Duan De said, that this was a divine ancient coffin with something heaven-defying inside? Looking at the ancient carvings and patterns on the stone box, they felt a sense of vicissitudes.
"Let's leave this place first and find a place with no one around to open it," Ji Ziyue said.
They turned into three beams of light and left this place. Very soon, they met up with the monkey and the others. Then, they entered the rainy night and disappeared into a corner.
The small world of the thirty-second level was dusky. The ground was dry and hard, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and there were ribbon-shaped black mists lingering about. This was an incomparably dangerous world. Heavenly generals roamed about, all of them having already severed the dao. They were silent and powerful beyond compare. It was unknown how many people had died in this trial.
Ye Fan and the others had just concealed themselves when many people rushed back. The holy lands had returned and actually brought back reinforcements. The might of emperor weapons were overflowing.
"Dao friends, the situation has changed. The sects in the outside world have discussed with each other and have come to rescue everyone!"
Someone shouted loudly in the small world and spread this kind of news. He told everyone that the people from the various sects were no longer limited to two or three people.
"This is clearly a large-scale attack. Are they using emperor weapons?" The monkey was bewildered.
"Hong!"
Soon after, a strand of emperor might rose, passing through the stone door and coming from the small world of the thirty-third level. Ye Fan and the others saw an immortal sword that looked like an ancestral dragon floating in the air. It had an aura that could suppress all worlds, as if it could shatter the past, present, and future.
Tai Sovereign Sword!
This was the Tai Sovereign Sword of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty. A group of people went up and pushed down the blood sacrificial altar. They inspected the inside and outside but found nothing. They all looked at each other in dismay.
"The danger of the ancestral temple is beyond imagination. The four great divine dynasties and the Yaoguang Holy Land are all worried. They are seriously negotiating with the various sects."
"The last few levels will most likely be even more dangerous. Without emperor weapons, it will be difficult to advance."
Everyone knew that the crucial moment had arrived. Now, the various sects didn't hesitate to use their trump cards. Who knew what would appear in the last few levels of the ancestral temple?
Duan De fiddled with the stone box, turning it over and over. A strange expression appeared on his face, and then it became serious.
When Ye Fan returned, he handed the stone box to the 'professional' and watched it from the side. It could be called a coffin, but it didn't have a lid. It was refined into a whole body and seemed solid, as if it had been carved by someone.
"This really is … a seamless divine coffin!" Duan De's expression was extremely serious. He had raided tombs all his life, but this was the first time he had seen such a legendary coffin. His hands couldn't help but tremble.
According to what he said, this coffin was terrifyingly old and was most likely something from the archaic era. The engravings on it were ancient, and there were things that looked like flowers, birds, fishes, and bugs.
The monkey shook his head and refuted. There were almost no coffins in the archaic era, and the people of the various races didn't use coffins for burial. It shouldn't be something from that era.
"I don't know as much about the ancient races as you do, but I know much more about coffins than you do. There is no coffin from ancient times that I don't recognize. I only need to smell it to know what's going on," Duan De said proudly.
He said that it wasn't that they didn't use coffins in the archaic era, but only those who were close to deities would have them. These people would occasionally use coffins to seal their subordinates who died in battle.
Coffins seemed to have a special meaning to those who were close to deities.
"I dare say that when your old man, the Emperor of Fighting, buried himself, he must have used a different coffin. It might even be more gorgeous than the Eternal Heavenly Emperor's Enlightened Tea Tree Coffin," Duan De said. His words made everyone speechless. Even the monkey couldn't find a reason to beat him up.
"Which one of you has seen such a small divine coffin? It's not even the size of my palm," Pang Bo sneered.
"That's true. How could a divine being use such a small coffin? But … why use two divine insects to guard it? Could it be that there is some kind of artifact comparable to a divine being? " Duan De muttered to himself. He then stroked the patterns and was incomparably shocked. He saw some clues and said, "This is indeed an ancient coffin of a divine being, and it's the kind with a great origin. It should be buried above the nine heavens!"
No one could remain calm. In the end, they decided that they should open it and take a look. If there really was a problem, they could directly throw it over to the Tai Sovereign Sword.
