"Cao Ya doesn't rely on heaven or earth, he only relies on himself!"
"Cao Ya doesn't have any cheats!"
Facing the countless gods and buddhas, Cao Ya spoke withou...
On the horizon, a bronze coffin, pulled by nine enormous skeletons, stretched across the top of the sky, displaying supreme divine power and shaking the great world.
Although they were separated by tens of thousands of miles, the oppressive aura and terrifying presence seemed to penetrate the vast void and be directly imprinted into Cao Ya's heart, causing him to tremble.
"Nine dragons pulling a coffin?!" Cao Ya's pupils constricted, and he cried out in shock.
It's no wonder he reacted this way; those things floating in the sky were simply too terrifying, whether it was the Perfect World universe or the later Shrouding the Heavens universe.
Of course, "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" is a name from later times; in previous eras, it should be called "Three Generations of Bronze Coffins"!
Legend has it that this is a coffin that buries the past, present, and future. Every era has its own version, though they differ in details, they are generally the same.
Even in the later era of the "Holy Ruins," this item still existed.
Of course, Cao Ya also knew that although this bronze coffin was very mysterious and strange, it didn't really matter if he made appropriate contact with it or even tried to open one or two layers, as long as he was strong enough.
So when Cao Ya saw the bronze coffin of the three generations, after the initial shock, he was actually somewhat relieved.
However, he still managed to escape tens of thousands of miles away, activating his divine sense to observe from afar. The more he gazed, the more his heart pounded with fear.
All sorts of auras shook the heavens, and the bronze coffin of the three lifetimes hung in the air, rising and falling, with chaotic energy permeating the air.
The bronze coffin was large and covered with mottled patina, as if bearing witness to the vicissitudes of countless ages.
Undoubtedly, in front of the bronze coffin were nine enormous skeletons, glowing and radiating an aura of immortality, covered with runes, resembling a supreme being—a true dragon!
He was certain that those were the bones of a dragon.
In the Perfect World universe, the True Dragon ranks first among the Ten Ancient Fiends, possessing extreme power.
"It really is a coffin pulled by nine dragons," Cao Ya murmured.
The lid of the Three Generations Coffin was partially opened, and chaotic energy was seeping out from within.
Those many flickering images also appeared because of this.
At the same time, he used his divine power to see that through the slid-open coffin lid, there was another small coffin inside, also made of bronze, equally ancient, with faint echoes of endless chanting.
It's called a small coffin, but that's only in comparison to the large coffins outside; in reality, it could easily fit a person.
Although Cao Ya had some knowledge of this thing, he still couldn't help but feel a chill. He swallowed hard, gave up the idea of exploring it, and prepared to flee.
boom!!!
Suddenly, the chaotic energy expanded, and in an instant, it swirled for millions of miles, enveloping the entire wilderness.
Cao Ya instantly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. Every wisp of chaotic energy was far heavier than a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain. If it were an ordinary cultivator, he would probably have been crushed into mincemeat.
Even Cao Ya felt immense pressure, overwhelmed by the profound mysteries of the laws, struggling against the chaotic energy.
With a loud crash, he fell from the sky, creating a large crater, covered in dust and looking quite disheveled.
However, at this moment, the bronze coffin of the Three Incarnations was shaking. The coffin lid, which had already slid open a bit, was lifted up again by a mysterious force. In an instant, a hazy glow bloomed, like a dazzling celestial light, illuminating eternity.
At the same time, terrifying images surfaced, impacting Cao Ya's mind and causing him to tremble with fear.
In a daze, he saw a brutal war that affected billions of worlds, with countless living beings fighting each other, the worlds collapsing, and finally, the surging aura of destruction annihilating that great world.
However, even if the world collapses, many lives still fight. They are too powerful and unfathomable. They roam the world and can turn the world upside down in the blink of an eye. A single thought is enough to shatter stars. Their power is boundless.
Supreme Being? True Immortal? Immortal King?
Cao Ya held his breath. In this scene, those experts of that caliber appeared as if they were ordinary true gods or celestial beings, countless in number, densely packed, appearing in large swaths, and also falling in large swaths.
Within the Boundary Sea, the boundless universe surged, and countless creatures roared in despair before finally annihilating, leaving the universe in ruins.
Then, a wisp of black smoke drifted by, engulfing everything and leaving nothing behind.
The scene faded away, and in the end, Cao Ya only saw the Three Generations Coffin being pulled by nine dragons, seemingly leaving the Boundary Sea and entering a vast, boundless, and endless river.
That is the long river of time in this vast universe.
The bronze coffins of three generations traversed the river of time, stirring up towering waves.
Finally, the image disappeared completely, nothing was left, and light returned.
Cao Ya was terrified and jumped out of the pit, deeply shaken.
What the Three Incarnations Coffin revealed—was that the Great Calamity of Darkness? Dark beings unleashed their power, slaughtering countless cosmic beings and annihilating numerous great realms… The source of this Great Calamity, however, was that Corpse Immortal Emperor…
Cao Ya let out a breath and sighed.
If he could resolve the calamities of the eight lower realms, and even try to overcome the disasters of the nine heavens and ten earths of the upper realm, then before the true final calamity, he would be nothing more than an ant if he did not become an Immortal Emperor.
Even a Celestial King is nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
There is a vast difference between those who are Immortal Emperors and those below them.
This is not only true for the Perfect World universe, but also for other universes where there are seven-star entities. Needless to say, the world between seven-star and lower-level entities is completely different.
For example, the seven-star level in the [Primordial] universe is the Primordial Saint, while the seven-star level in the [Supreme Being of the World] universe is the Other Shore.
"Are the three bronze coffins witnessing history?" Cao Ya murmured.
Suddenly, the chaotic energy receded, and the Three-Life Coffin rose into the air, its nine skeletons glowing brightly. Instead of a dark and eerie aura, they appeared sacred and peaceful.
With a loud boom, the Three-Life Coffin tore through the void and left the no-man's land, its destination unknown.
Cao Ya didn't dare to follow. Firstly, the Three-Life Copper Coffin was too fast for him to keep up with. Secondly, he had many concerns. What if the Three-Life Copper Coffin reached some kind of deadly place, a place of overwhelming malevolent energy and pervasive laws of destruction, which would end all living beings? The Three-Life Copper Coffin would be unaffected, and nothing could destroy it, but he would be unable to withstand it and would die violently in such a place.
"If I really stay inside the Three-Life Coffin, relying on my immortal lifespan, can I survive this chaotic ancient era and go to those eras in the [Covering the Sky] universe?" Cao Ya suddenly pondered.
The Three Generations Copper Coffin underwent some minor changes after the era of "Covering the Sky," but its overall structure remained largely unchanged, demonstrating that numerous calamities did not significantly affect it.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Ya shook his head. He didn't need to do that, because there was already a Cao Ya in the [Covering the Sky] universe.
Moreover, if one wants to become a supreme being or even an immortal, this approach will not lead to enlightenment.
After accidentally stumbling upon the bronze coffin of the Three Generations, Cao Ya encountered many terrifying scenes over the next few months.
For example, when the Supreme Being of Humanity undergoes the Tribulation of Immortality to become an immortal, he is a man in blue robes, gazing up at the heavens. His gaze and demeanor are so captivating and indescribable.
Billions of bolts of lightning descended from the sky, but were swallowed whole by this person, like a gluttonous beast.
No matter what kind of calamity it was, it was all dismantled by that man in blue. His power was unimaginable. His hair was flying, and he looked to be around thirty years old. His eyes were deep and had a sense of vicissitude and antiquity. In reality, he was definitely older than Bai Wansui.
However, he possessed a grand and domineering air, as if he looked down upon the heavens and the earth and believed himself to be the only one worthy of respect.
Boom!!!
He shattered the heavenly tribulation lightning and was on the verge of becoming an immortal. He leaped up, stepping out of the human realm and half a foot into the immortal realm. However, at this moment, the universe cracked open, spilling out wisps of black mist that engulfed the starry sea and shrouded the sky, making everything seem lifeless. The man in green roared and punched the sky, but it was useless, leaving only immortal blood staining the blue sky.
In the end, the man in blue perished; despite surviving the celestial tribulation, his efforts were ultimately in vain.
"An ominous sign?!"
