Thud, thud, thud …
In the quiet and decaying hall, a red human-shaped skeleton extended its bone claws and placed them on the lid of a blood-red bronze coffin. It seemed to be using all its strength to pry open the coffin lid.
Kacha …
However, the coffin lid and the bronze coffin seemed to be stuck tightly together. No matter how hard it tried, it could not move the coffin lid at all. Instead, one of its bones broke.
Seeing that, the red human-shaped skeleton jumped up and down anxiously, as if there was something extremely tempting in the coffin.
Thud, thud, thud …
At that moment, footsteps slowly came from the other end of the hall.
In an instant, the red human-shaped skeleton turned around abruptly. It turned its pair of white and sunken bone eyes and looked straight at the source of the sound. The red flame between its brows faintly emitted a terrifying aura.
The Patriarch of Hell, who was less than three thousand meters away from the main hall, said as he walked, "Damn toad, are you sure that skeleton is here?"
"Grandpa is sure that it's here."
The toad on Ye Chen's shoulder glanced at the patriarch in disdain, "That silly skeleton must have taken a fancy to the soul fire of the Martial God's body. It wants to absorb it to transform itself."
Ye Chen, Ye Wushuang, and the rest secretly shook their heads when they saw the man and beast arguing non-stop. The man and beast had been bickering since they came here.
Yang Hao suddenly pointed, "It's over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and they immediately saw that there was a red human-shaped skeleton staring at them from a thousand feet away.
The blazing soul fire between the red human-shaped skeleton's brows gradually returned to normal when it saw that it was Ye Chen and the rest. It seemed to have put away its hostility.
When everyone approached, they noticed the ten bronze coffins in the middle of the hall. Song Qiye cast a fireball to illuminate the surroundings.
"Why are there ten coffins here?"
Luo Tianya was shocked at first, then he seemed to have thought of something and could not help but say, "Could it be that this is the main tomb, and the master of the tomb is buried here?"
Yang Hao was a little nervous as soon as he finished speaking. Ever since he entered the tomb, everything he had seen and heard along the way had made him respect and fear the master of the tomb.
Now that he was in front of the coffin, he was really afraid that the other party would suddenly jump out and attack everyone.
"Nine Coffins Encirclement!"
Old Ancestor Yellow Spring's unruly expression disappeared. He stared at the ten bronze coffins and said, "Nine is the highest. This person must have been a supreme figure when he was alive."
"No!"
However, Ye Chen denied what he said. He looked at the ten giant coffins and said, "This should be the Soul Suppressing Formation. Each of the ten coffins is used to suppress a person's soul."
Patriarch Yellow Spring's expression turned slightly solemn. "Are you saying that the person who created this formation refused to reincarnate and wanted to prevent his soul from dissipating? In exchange for a chance at eternal life? "
"It's also possible that the other party was suppressed here by his enemies, causing him to be unable to transcend forever," Ye Chen said.
Even the old ancestor could not help but gasp, "If that's the case, then this method is too cruel and vicious."
After saying that, he walked around the ten coffins and examined them. Finally, he said to Ye Chen, "All ten coffins have formations that seal souls. It seems like you've guessed correctly, Fellow Ye."
"Could it be that the person being suppressed is the master of this tomb?"
Song Qiye's expression changed slightly as he said, "The master of the tomb is a Martial God, an existence that has reached the peak of the Martial Dao. There's actually someone who can suppress him here?"
As soon as he said that, everyone realized the problem.
Yang Hao said, "Toad, you know Yinxu the best. Tell me, who exactly is suppressing a Martial God here?"
"I don't know either."
The toad pondered for a moment and said seriously for the first time, "I was born in the Forbidden Land of Yinxu. I'm haunted by the curse of the forbidden land, so I can't remember things from too long ago."
At this moment, the red human-shaped skeleton suddenly pointed at the bronze statue that was being guarded by the mouth and started to dance with joy.
Yang Hao now had some understanding of the former's actions and language, so he explained to everyone, "This silly skeleton wants us to help him open that blood-red bronze coffin."
"The coffin can't be opened."
Luo Tianya was the first to object, "This is the resting place of a senior. We're already disturbing him by barging in. If we forcefully open the coffin, it'll be disrespectful to him."
"Are you stupid, brat?"
The Patriarch of Hell glanced at him in disappointment, "I've already told you that the master of this tomb is suppressed here. If we open the coffin lid, we'll be saving him instead. If he's in heaven, he'll be grateful to us."
As soon as he said that, the red humanoid skeleton nodded immediately as if it understood what the patriarch said. Moreover, it agreed with him.
"Wait, something's not right …"
Yang Hao suddenly said, "Look at this blood-red bronze coffin. Why are there so many moss on it? Is it moldy?"
"It's green hair …"
What Ye Chen said made him shudder, "Clearly, the existence in this coffin has turned into a zombie. Once we open it, we might encounter a Martial God's body that has turned into a zombie!"
"What? Turned into a zombie? "
Yang Hao's face turned pale as soon as he said that. He leaped far away like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on, staying far away from the blood-red bronze coffin.
"Why is it this thing again …"
He gulped and said to Ye Chen and the Patriarch of Hell with great difficulty, "Uncle Ye, why don't we go back? I'm afraid of this thing the most."
"Look at you. You're much more cowardly than your father."
The Patriarch of Hell glanced at him in disdain before turning his head to the toad and saying, "How powerful is a Martial God exactly?"
Everyone looked at the toad immediately.
Even though they were in the Martial God's tomb now, they still did not know much about Martial Gods. The only thing they knew was that so many forces were mobilized for this Martial God's tomb.
"Martial God is a title for ancient martial artists on Earth. It's not a realm. Having the title of Martial God means that one has reached the peak of the Martial Dao."
The toad said with a solemn expression, "If we must use realms to measure them, then the Martial God Realm is comparable to the Void Training Realm. To be more precise, the Martial God Realm is unrivaled in the Void Training Realm. Their strength alone is enough to break through all techniques. They can even traverse the vast ancient starry sky with their physical bodies."
As soon as he said that, the Patriarch of Hell's face twitched slightly.
The Patriarch of Hell's face twitched slightly. Clearly, he was shocked. He could not help but gulp and look at Ye Chen as he said, "Fellow Ye, you're the most powerful among us. Do you want to open it or not?"
Ye Chen looked at the blood-red bronze coffin before him as he met everyone's gaze. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
In the dead silent hall, two auras suddenly rushed over and landed in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
