Chapter 1048 The Time Has Come
Despite being skeletons whose owner could not be identified at all, Ye Wanxi and the others inexplicably felt a chill run through their bodies.
Especially Ye Wanxi, the moment she saw the skeleton, she felt as if the blood in her body had frozen, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"These bones..."
“Impossible…impossible…” Feng Tianyu stared at the white bones inside the transparent coffin, his eyes suddenly turning blood red, and his aura suddenly becoming gloomy and cold.
"Senior Brother!" Ye Wanxi's expression changed slightly. She never expected that such a skeleton would cause her senior brother to show signs of demonic possession. She hurriedly grasped Feng Tianyu's hand and said, "Calm down, it's just a skeleton."
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's voice, the surging demonic energy around Feng Tianyu paused for a moment before gradually calming down and returning to stillness.
That's right, it's just a skeleton. If he could kill him once before, he can kill him a second time now.
Feng Tianyu was so shaken because it was unexpected that Wu Yequan would still have a skeleton left behind.
He had clearly already reduced him to ashes long ago, so there wasn't even a trace of bone left, let alone a complete skeleton.
What's going on with these remains now? Are they real or fake? If they're fake, why do they bear Wu Yequan's aura? But if they're real, then was the person he killed back then... really Wu Yequan?
"What's going on? These bones give off a creepy feeling, like a cold wind blowing into the cracks between the bones..." Qi Yingxuan originally wanted to try to throw a few fish-blasting arrays on the underwater array and see if he could blast these things that floated up back to the seabed.
But when he saw the coffin and the skeleton inside, he instinctively wanted to back out.
It was his intuition warning him that something extremely dangerous lay in the coffin.
"What the hell is this thing? It's so weird!"
Jun Wuduan narrowed his eyes dangerously: "No matter what it is, just from the fact that it easily absorbed the yin energy of hundreds of thousands of wronged souls, we can tell that it is definitely not a good thing! We absolutely cannot let it see the light of day, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
As soon as Jun Wuduan finished speaking, Jiang Lin and Xiang Yueqi exchanged a glance and rushed towards the glass coffin.
The black dragon, which had just been brutally beaten by Jiang Lin, rushed out without hesitation upon seeing this, encircled the glass coffin with its body, opened its mouth wide, and roared threateningly at the group.
Jiang Lin had already guessed the identity of the skeleton's owner based on Feng Tianyu's reaction when he saw it. Now, seeing how nervous the black dragon was about the glass coffin, he felt that his guess had been confirmed, and his gaze toward the stone coffin grew even colder.
He drew his sword and began slashing wildly at the black dragon, which was already severely injured in the previous battle.
It was no match for Jiang Lin at all. After a few sword strikes, it was sent flying and landed on the sea beneath Wu's feet with a splash, creating a huge wave.
Looking down at the disheveled black dragon, Wu showed no concern or worry, only mockery and sarcasm.
"waste."
The black dragon, which was already on the verge of death, almost turned on him with its tail when it heard his mocking words.
Without the protection of the black dragon, the glass coffin had fallen into the hands of Jiang Lin and the others. Jiang Lin raised his sword and slashed at the glass coffin, only to find that his all-out attack had not left a single mark on the coffin.
A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Lin's face. Xiang Yueqi thought he wasn't using enough force and couldn't help but remind him, "Fourth brother, put in some effort."
Jiang Lin: "..."
Just as they were about to try again, they suddenly heard Qi Yingxuan shout, "Second brother, fourth brother, come back quickly! There's something wrong with that coffin!"
Xiang Yueqi was slightly taken aback. Before he could react, he felt a powerful force emanating from inside the coffin. Then he felt a tightness on his shoulder and was pulled backward and thrown out.
"Second Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother!" Ye Wanxi had just calmed down the distraught Feng Tianyu when she saw this scene, and her expression changed slightly.
Fortunately, Qi Yingxuan's reminder came in time, and Jiang Lin reacted quickly, grabbing Xiang Yueqi and retreating swiftly.
When the two landed, they felt their blood surging in their chests and vomited blood. They were slightly injured by the sudden burst of powerful force, but their livers were not damaged, so they were not in any major problems.
Xiang Yueqi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a breath and said, "Luckily, Fourth Brother reacted quickly, otherwise he might have died here in a daze today."
Seeing that the two were injured, Jun Wuduan's expression grew even more serious: "What's the situation with the coffin?"
"That coffin itself should be a formation, a protective formation that gathers the owner's power into it. I guess the owner of this coffin should be the skeleton inside. When I was learning formations from my master, I heard people say that some evil cultivators, unable to ascend to immortality due to insufficient cultivation, would deliberately set up formations to seal themselves in order to achieve immortality or to leave themselves a chance to be resurrected in the future. This would allow future generations to retrieve them and help them deceive the heavens and be resurrected."
"However, such an approach is very risky, because no one can guarantee that his descendants will still be alive a hundred years from now and will be willing to resurrect him. Moreover, too many things can change in a thousand years. If he is discovered by others and his body is destroyed before his descendants can find him, all the previous efforts will be in vain."
"To prevent such a situation and ensure absolute safety, the other party will often pour all their power into the formation that seals them, ensuring that those weaker than them cannot open the formation and damage the remains they used to resurrect."
Qi Yingxuan paused, his expression complex, and said, "The owner of this glass coffin is probably no ordinary person to be able to set up such an array. Moreover, the skeletons inside the coffin just absorbed the yin energy of hundreds of thousands of dead souls, and their magical power was greatly increased at that time. Naturally, the array on the glass coffin would also be..."
Before Qi Yingxuan could finish speaking, a figure suddenly rushed towards the glass coffin.
The group was slightly taken aback. After recognizing the other person, they instinctively called out, "Senior Brother."
The bright, dazzling spear was raised high, like an unsheathed blade, and then slammed down hard.
The spearhead, gleaming with golden light, landed on the transparent glass coffin lid. With a crack, the glass coffin, which Qi Yingxuan believed to be forged from the full power of the skeleton's owner and was incredibly sturdy, began to crack, with fine lines appearing around the spear.
The dark eyes in the distance darkened slightly, and a twisted smile unconsciously appeared on his face. He said in a trembling voice, enunciating each word clearly, "The time has come."
