Hoo~~ hoo~~
The peaceful, boundless land was suddenly swept by gusts of malevolent blood wind, emanating from deeper within.
That mysterious blood glow continued to flicker faintly. At one moment, hundreds of pale green divine lights suddenly flashed around it, like a hundred ghosts welcoming the malevolence, an extremely terrifying sight.
About an hour later, the hundreds of pale green divine lights vanished, leaving only the original deep red blood glow still flickering.
"Ding-dang-dang~~"
The chains, stirred by the malevolent blood wind, swayed slightly. Perhaps they struck something, emitting bursts of crisp sounds.
Three hours later, the two stood up and continued to walk towards the depths, step by step. Under the pressure of the White Tiger and the Gluttonous Beast, the blood threads no longer seeped into their flesh, but madly devoured their spiritual energy, incessantly hindering their progress.
Ten zhang further on, it felt as if they had traversed a millennium, making it extremely difficult. Within the twelve divine fires, four were completely consumed, leaving only the crimson-gold divine fires flickering faintly.
"What is that?"
Ten zhang ahead of them, a blood coffin, a thousand zhang in size, lay quietly in the void. Thick black chains at each of its four corners held it firmly locked in the air ten zhang above the ground. The four chains extended in four directions to the ends of the dark night.
"Blood Sea Suspended Coffin!!"
The two stood frozen, not daring to move, silently gazing at the enormous blood coffin, too awestruck to speak.
The blood coffin remained motionless, yet it unleashed an ancient, desolate aura of immeasurable distance. As this aura swept past, it easily tore through their armor, armor that was blessed by divine beasts.
A mere gust of ancient desolation air shattered it like paper!
The blood coffin was colossal, especially with wisps of black and void energy flickering on its surface, emanating a terrifying aura of supreme divine power, making the two tremble with fear.
The faint aura emanating from within the blood coffin far surpassed their understanding of current cultivation realms. They had no idea what realm that aura belonged to, nor what terrifying being was suppressed within this blood coffin! Su Dan Novel Network
A stone tablet lay tens of thousands of miles away, intercepted by an endless blood sea, and the mysterious blood threads on their bodies, all hinted at the terror of this place.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the massive coffin trembled. Endless black lightning flashed out from the blood coffin, shooting towards the ends of the boundless land.
"What in the world is this?"
Shang Shitu's expression was one of horror. His face pale, he stared at the giant blood coffin. His entire body, as well as Hu Yan Zan's beside him, felt their spines being pressed down, as if they were two hunched old men, unable to stand straight.
"No, quickly sit down and suppress your spiritual energy!"
Hu Yan Zan roared. The pressure here was too terrifying to resist directly; there was a constant danger of their primordial spirits scattering.
"Quick!"
The two once again drew upon the nether-fire from two of the crimson-gold divine fires, pouring the surging energy to replenish their spiritual energy consumption. Hu Yan Zan slightly opened his eyes, casting a glance at the mysterious blood coffin. He knew that all the secrets of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin lay buried there.
But the blood coffin was right before him, and he was powerless. The terrifying, colossal blood coffin, merely a gentle tremor from its exterior, was something he could not withstand. To advance another ten zhang, to examine the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin up close, would be impossible for him and Shang Shitu, even if they exhausted all their nether-fire.
"Puff!!"
"Puff!!"
The world before their eyes instantly changed. Hundreds of peak, masterless primordial spirits' nether-fires, a multitude of hundreds, flashed around the blood coffin. The pale green divine light, combined with the faint deep red glow, caused this space to tremble slightly!
"Nether-fire!"
"That's peak, masterless primordial spirits' nether-fire!!"
Shang Shitu, looking at the hundreds of nether-fires, felt a surge of inexplicable excitement. Traversing the ancient jungle for tens of thousands of miles, he had only encountered thirty to forty peak, masterless primordial spirits' nether-fires. Here, there were hundreds!
How many years would it take to cultivate such a quantity!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the colossal blood coffin trembled again.
"Dong~~"
"Dong~~"
"Dong~~"
...
Sounds akin to a heartbeat emanated from within the blood coffin. The sound was weak, sometimes vibrating, sometimes fading.
"It!!"
"It's still alive!!"
Shang Shitu stared at the blood coffin, his lips trembling.
It wasn't that Shang Shitu was cowardly, but everything here was too terrifying. If they hadn't stored enough nether-fire within them, they would have perished a hundred zhang ago.
Recalling everything that had happened since the colossal coffin, their ability to reach this point was a miracle.
"Crack crack~~"
The blood threads wrapped around their bodies began to recede, disappearing into the darkness of the night.
"Hmm?"
"It's back to normal!"
Hu Yan Zan stood up, feeling the changes in his body. The blood threads had vanished, and the terrifying pressure had also subsided.
The entire world returned to its usual state, with no more oppression!
"Inconceivable!"
Shang Shitu stood up, clenching his fists, feeling his normal body, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"What exactly is suppressed within here?"
"To go to such lengths, with the layers of seals outside the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin!"
"I don't know!"
"Perhaps everything about this place is contained within this blood coffin!"
Hu Yan Zan stroked his cracked White Tiger armor. The armor, blessed by the White Tiger divine beast, could not withstand even a slight tremor from the blood coffin.
Just a gentle tremor!
The White Tiger armor had been defeated!
Then how terrifying must it be within this blood coffin, and that heartbeat-like sound!
The two lingered for a long time, neither daring to step forward. Although the pressure and blood threads had dissipated, the blood coffin remained before them.
The blood coffin was even more terrifying than the pressure and blood threads!
"Dong~~"
"Dong~~"
"Dong~~"
Another series of heartbeat-like sounds. With this brief pulsation, the colossal blood coffin fell silent again!
"Chih chih~~"
"What sound is that!"
The two suddenly became vigilant, leaning back-to-back, watching their surroundings. The grating sound was particularly jarring.
"Weng~~"
"Crack crack~~"
"Not good!"
"It's that blood coffin!!"
Hu Yan Zan roared. Shang Shitu quickly turned his head. In their sight, the lid of the colossal blood coffin began to tremble.
It wanted to open but couldn't, struggling immensely. In the next moment, the four thick chains unleashed a terrifying ancient, desolate aura, forging a massive, pitch-black net that firmly sealed the surging blood coffin once more!
"Boom!!"
The blood coffin, unwilling to yield, swept out divine light again. Under the continuous impact of the blood glow, it tore open a corner of the pitch-black net.
