"This person is a powerful figure ranked 175th on the Investiture of the Gods, named Zang Qianchuan. It is said that his cultivation technique is mysterious and unpredictable, allowing him to manipulate Yin and Yang energies, making his strength extraordinary! Especially his physical body, which is extremely terrifying!"

The Celestial Saintess said in a low voice.

Xu Xiwang nodded, "This person's physical strength is formidable. For this stone coffin to force him to this state, it must be the coffin of some powerful being!"

Cang Qianchuan's strength was indeed formidable, but at this moment, the thing inside the stone coffin seemed to have fully awakened, and an extremely powerful aura burst forth from within.

Zang Qianchuan gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the stone coffin's attack, but faced with the powerful aura inside the coffin, his body swayed precariously.

The powerful aura within the stone coffin grew increasingly intense, and wisps of dark mist emerged from it, forming eerie black lines that intertwined in the sky and coalesced into a hideous and terrifying face.

"ah!!"

Cang Qianchuan roared to the sky, and suddenly a huge phantom of a bull appeared behind him.

"roar!!"

The phantom bull roared to the sky, opened its blood-red maw, and pounced on the stone coffin.

The stone coffin emitted a dull thud, wisps of black smoke rose up, and a faint film of light appeared on the stone coffin.

The illusory image of the bull lunged at the stone coffin, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea; it was instantly swallowed up by the stone coffin, and Cang Qianchuan's flesh and blood were also swallowed up and disappeared without a trace.

"Zang Qianchuan was killed just like that?"

The Celestial Saintess was dumbfounded. "It seems like she died a rather unjust death..."

Xu Xiwang shook his head. "It's just fate."

"But now that the coffin has been disturbed, it seems we can't get through..."

The Celestial Star Saintess asked.

Xu Xiwang pondered for a moment, "There must be some evil thing being suppressed in this coffin."

Zang Qianchuan's strength had reached the level of a Great Emperor, yet he still couldn't withstand the power of this stone coffin!

Xu Xiwang guessed that the stone coffin had an extraordinary origin.

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of dark energy surged out of the stone coffin again, sweeping towards Xu Xiwang.

Xu Xiwang dodged rapidly, but still couldn't escape the aura.

A dark aura enveloped the two people and the ox.

Boom!

The black light curtain shattered, and a skull slowly rose from the stone coffin. The skull's pupils, no bigger than mung beans, gleamed with a cold, eerie light as it stared lifelessly at Xu Xiwang.

The next second, a withered claw stretched out and reached for Xu Xiwang.

"I'm not fully grown yet, don't eat me!"

The ox hurriedly hid in a corner, trembling with fear.

"You good-for-nothing!"

The Celestial Star Saintess cursed and used the Celestial Star Diagram to defend herself.

Xu Xiwang stared quietly at the skull, her eyes calm.

"The Chaos Divine Body, what a treasure!"

The skull emitted a hoarse, sinister voice, as if it came from the deepest hell.

Xu Xiwang said calmly, "No matter how good something is, it has nothing to do with you. If you dare to lay a hand on me, you will have to pay a heavy price."

What nonsense are you spouting?

The skull sneered, "You mere Holy Emperor? I could crush you with one hand!"

"Heh...you should try it..."

Xu Xiwang smiled faintly, "If you could really kill me with one slap, it would prove you truly have that kind of power..."

"court death!"

The skull let out a cold shout, and a powerful suction force emanated from within its head.

Perhaps it is hoped that he will stand still and not move an inch.

Is that all you've got?

Xu Xiwang's voice was cold.

"impossible!"

A mournful wail emanated from within the skull, but it did nothing to extinguish Xu Xiwang's fears.

Xu Xiwang looked at the skull and said indifferently, "Although you are powerful, you are still a little lacking. If you could comprehend an extremely powerful Dao, perhaps you could barely contend with me."

"you..."

The skull trembled with rage.

The Celestial Saintess stared at Xu Xiwang in shock.

She hadn't expected Xu Xiwang to be so confident, managing to knock the skull off its head with a single move.

The Heavenly Star Saintess knew that Xu Xiwang's strength was probably already comparable to the top fifty prodigies on the Investiture of the Gods list!

Xu Xiwang's potential is simply astonishing!

The Heavenly Star Saintess sighed inwardly, thinking: This guy's talent is simply too heaven-defying. If he were given a little more time, he might really have a chance to become a True Immortal!

"snort!"

The skull sneered, "I indeed cannot kill you, but I am not the only powerful figure ahead. Just wait to be haunted by endless vengeful spirits!"

After saying this, his body gradually merged into the surrounding dark air currents and disappeared without a trace.

As he continued forward, Xu Xiwang saw the corpses of many prodigies.

The Celestial Saintess had seen the corpses of several monstrous geniuses, but the corpses before her were even more mangled and broken. Some of the bodies had long since turned into a puddle of pus, leaving only a pile of white bones.

Moreover, because this place has been eroded by darkness for many years, the air is filled with a fishy stench.

Moreover, various bizarre and terrifying creatures can be seen appearing in this area from time to time, making one's scalp tingle.

But the further she went in, the more Xu Xiwang felt her heart trembling.

Because the dark energy here is even stronger than outside, and can even corrode the soul.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Star Chart within Tianxing's body was frantically absorbing the dark energy here, which allowed her injuries to heal rapidly.

"Frost!"

As the sounds of battle and explosions continued to echo from ahead, Xu Xiwang finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.

But the fighting ahead was getting louder and louder, and screams could be faintly heard.

Xu Xiwang's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed inside.

A group of prodigies were seen fighting against dozens of strange men clad in armor.

Meanwhile, Ning Hanshuang, Han Yijian, Xu Xingchen, Su Yueyao, and others were being hunted down by countless powerful figures.

Xu Xingchen was cleaved away by several sword energies, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He coughed up blood repeatedly, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

Han Yijian transformed into ten thousand swords, attempting to annihilate the dozens of sword energies, but in the end, he could only barely block them. Bloodstains appeared on his body, making him look utterly disheveled.

Ning Hanshuang was covered in ice flames, and a giant ice-blue blade slashed through the air, shattering several sword energies.

She was also covered in blood, her pretty face turned pale, but instead of retreating, she advanced, wielding a huge ice-blue blade, and charged towards the group of enemies in front of her.

"Hahaha, Ice Phoenix, let's see where you can run to!"

"My Frost Goddess, return!"

Several powerful figures appeared, blocking Ning Hanshuang's path.

Ning Hanshuang's pretty face was covered in frost, and her icy blue eyes were filled with raging fury.

"Ice Phoenix, surrender obediently, or we'll turn you into a puppet!"

A sinister laugh rang out, making Xu Xiwang's heart tremble.

The leaders were the Underworld Emperor and the God King, and even the five ancestors of the ancient imperial clan were among them!

For the sake of the great medicinal herb, Ice Phoenix, several of them joined forces!
