Hum!
A terrifying pressure came from the coffin, and the whole sky was soaked in bright yellow light. Circles of ripples spread out, causing the bodies of the Crossing Calamity Stage cultivators to sway slightly, not to mention the Great Vehicle Stage cultivators. Under this pressure, they could only bitterly hold on.
Everyone could clearly feel that the aura coming from the coffin wasn't just the aura of cultivation, but also the aura of a ruler. This aura signified the return of the Empress.
Whoosh!
The Nine-Emperor Cauldron that was originally floating beside Sage Nakagawa flew out and came to the side of the coffin. It emitted waves of black mist that merged with the aura of the coffin and swept out in all directions.
Boom!
At this moment, it was as if the entire Nakagawa Continent was prostrating under Empress Yao Guang's skirt.
Mu Li clenched his teeth, and the white runes of the Buddha's Scripture flew out and turned into a pagoda that covered his entire body. Only then did he manage to resist the aura of Empress Yao Guang.
The Eye of Creation in between Lin An's brows emitted rays of light that spread out in the surroundings, blocking the Empress' aura from affecting him. However, his slightly swaying body showed that it wasn't easy for Lin An to do all this.
"Empress Yao Guang … She can't still be alive …" Mu Yunshu revealed a shocked expression.
He had experienced the era of Empress Yao Guang. However, at that time, he was only a core disciple of the Sky Solitary Sword Sect. Compared to Empress Yao Guang, he didn't have any reputation at all.
However, because of this, Empress Yao Guang's strength was a shadow in Mu Yunshu's heart that could never be erased.
He once saw with his own eyes that the Empress came to the Western Creek Continent and fought with the Tribulation Stage Grand Elder of the Sky Solitary Sword Sect.
In that battle, rays of light filled the sky and sword aura swept out, shattering the endless mountains and rivers of the Western Creek Continent. In the end, Empress Yao Guang broke through the sword array and appeared in front of countless cultivators of the Western Creek Continent without any injuries. However, the Tribulation Stage Grand Elder of the Sky Solitary Sword Sect was severely injured. From then on, the entire Western Creek Continent was under Empress Yao Guang's rule.
She swept through the world and used her own strength to make the entire Cultivation World bow down to her. No one dared to disrespect her.
And that grand battle back then had become the shadow of Mu Yunshu's life.
Even though Empress Yao Guang had disappeared in the end and the Western Stream Continent had returned to the control of the Sky Yi Sword sect, Mu Yunshu was no longer the insignificant cultivator of the past. He had reached the peak of the Tribulation Passing realm, but he still couldn't help but tremble when he faced Empress Yao Guang.
It wasn't just Mu Yunshu. Mu Chen's expression was ugly as well. Like Mu Yunshu, he had experienced the reign of Empress Yao Guang. Thus, he felt fear and respect from the bottom of his heart. Even though he had reached the Tribulation Passing Stage, he couldn't stop himself from trembling.
On the other side, Venerable Shangyuan of the Sky Origin Sect, as well as Lin Xuan, Lu Chen, and Shangguan Hong of the Sanqing Sect all had ugly expressions.
As people who stood at the peak of the cultivation world, they had grown up during the era when Yao Guang Empress was in power, so they knew how terrifying this Empress was.
Some shadows would last a lifetime. Even if they had grown up and become Tribulation Passing cultivators, they would still feel very weak in the face of the former king.
"I really didn't expect the royal family to have such a trump card. Empress Yao Guang is actually still alive in this world." Venerable Shangyuan's gaze was fixed on the bright yellow jade coffin.
Through a secret technique, he could clearly sense the existence of life aura in it, and it was very familiar.
This kind of familiarity was a bone-deep awe.
Lin An and Mu Li looked at each other and saw a touch of shock in each other's eyes.
They didn't know about Empress Yao Guang's trump card before, and the Akatsuki organization didn't receive any information either. This sudden situation completely disrupted their original plan.
"There's another Tribulation Passing cultivator, and it's the once famous Empress Yao Guang. This battle won't be as easy as we thought." Lin An said.
"Is this Empress Yao Guang not dead, or has she been sealed?" Mu Li frowned and stared at the bright yellow jade coffin.
"She should be sealed. Isn't this a show reserved by the Tai Yi Clan?" Lin An said.
The three Divine Ancestors of the Tai Yi Clan were still fresh in everyone's minds. Their existences were almost the same as Empress Yao Guang.
But obviously, Nakagawa's royal family's methods were far inferior to the Tai Yi Clan's.
Tai Yi Si Ming's group was a Divine Ancestor who had survived since ancient times, a terrifying big shot who had sealed themselves in the World of Immortals.
But now, Nakagawa's royal family had only summoned Empress Yao Guang from several thousand years ago. Although this empress was indeed powerful and could be considered a stunning existence in history, in the history of the Nakagawa Empire, there were many people stronger than this empress, but those people were existences from long ago.
If Nakagawa's royal family's methods could really reach the level of the Tai Yi Clan, then what they summoned today wouldn't be Empress Yao Guang alone, but dozens of famous emperors in the history of the Nakagawa Empire.
Weng!
Just as the empress's coffin shone brightly, the space around it shattered again.
This time, a dark gold coffin appeared in the sky.
It didn't shine as brightly as Empress Yao Guang's coffin. This coffin's light was completely hidden, and its aura was very stable. It wasn't as grand as Empress Yao Guang's coffin, but it gave off an unfathomable feeling.
"There's more?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the coffin, everyone's expression changed.
But this time, no one was able to recognize the owner of the coffin. Even the owner of the Great Symphony Pavilion frowned at this moment.
One should know that this coffin was in the same space as Empress Yao Guang, and now it was released together. It couldn't be an ordinary existence, but they couldn't tell who it was from the coffin's aura.
"Judging from the aura, this is a terrifying expert on par with Empress Yao Guang. But is there anyone like this in the royal family's history in the past few thousand years?" Lin An frowned and muttered to himself.
"Could it be a rogue cultivator, like the Peony Alchemist?" Mu Li asked.
"I don't think so. Look at the pattern on his coffin, there's the mark of the Red Spider Lily. Only the direct descendants of the royal family can use this mark." Lin An shook his head.
"Could it be a prince?" Mu Li frowned.
Just as the two were guessing, the bright yellow jade coffin suddenly shook.
In the next moment, under everyone's gaze, the yellow coffin lid slowly flew up, and a pair of slender white hands reached out from the coffin.
