Chapter 1509: Something Terrifying Is Hidden In This Coffin

The coffin soared into the sky. Instantly, the ancient mountain range was covered by a layer of death energy. Countless living beings were killed, including the poisonous bugs and plants. Fortunately, the Wumo Pass was known as a forbidden zone and had very few visitors. Thus, the casualties weren’t too bad.

However, the death energy kept spreading. Before long, it occupied an area the size of a province. Some nearby towns and cities started suffering from the death energy, and countless people started aging. Mortal or cultivator, nobody was immune to death energy.

“Why am I aging so quickly? It feels like something is devouring my life away.”

“I-is this a curse? I don’t want to die! Help me! Please!”

“This is death energy! Run! All of us will die if we stay!”

“Look, what’s that in the sky? It looks like a coffin. All the death energy came from that coffin!”

…

The ancient coffin instantly transformed an area the size of a province into a land of death. Countless lives withered, causing a massive commotion among the civilized world. Even the Gods of the Western Desert were alarmed. The likes of the Yu Clan, the Chongshan School, the Taiqing Sect, and the newly risen Di Clan all sent their representatives out to figure out what was happening.

Even the Guardians Guild, who had remained inactive for so long, sent some people over. Those they sent were only members of their branch guild. Their headquarters was not located in the Western Desert.

The Wumo Pass became a center of attention.

Some Gods discovered that the ancient coffin was made of undying divine wood and were instantly filled with greed. The undying divine wood possessed the undying property. If one could refine one such wood, one would stand a chance at mastering the Death God Technique and gaining eternal life and inconceivable abilities like the Undying Devil Clan.

One of the Gods immediately rushed toward the ancient coffin. As a result, that God suffered a tragedy. The miserable fate of that God shocked all the Gods present. They knew that the coffin definitely had an owner. Thus, it definitely wasn’t something they could easily obtain.

Some Gods shrank after witnessing the first God’s fate, but some were still courageous enough to rush over with god-grade weapons in hand. However, all of them suffered the same fate as the first God.

“This coffin came from the Wumo Pass. The death energy it emanates is extremely powerful. Only someone with the power of extreme yang can get near it,” said a God.

“Both the Yu Clan and the Di Clan are cultivators of such power, right? They both have impressive trump cards. Perhaps they will be able to get something out of the coffin,” said a different God.

At this time, someone exclaimed, “A lord from the Guardians Guild is approaching!”

Sure enough, an old man in a hemp garb was approaching the ancient coffin one step at a time. His entire body was shrouded in a thick layer of red flame, preventing the death energy from approaching his body. As he raised his hand, he sent a massive flaming palm akin to a sea of flame toward the coffin.

The raging flame was incredibly domineering. It did not take the fiery palm long to reach the coffin. Abruptly, a thick current of death energy surged out and extinguished the fiery palm, shocking all onlookers.

The flame of extreme yang was supposed to be the bane of death energy. However, the collision everyone had just witnessed had progressed in the completely opposite direction. That only served to prove how terrifying the ancient coffin was.

“Whatever evil being you are, do not think of creating trouble in the dominion!” roared the old man from the Guardians Guild as flaming armor appeared around his body. As he waved the flaming flag in his hand, the weather changed, and he created a world of flame out of nothing. The ocean of flame pierced through the death energy before heading toward the coffin.

As this attack was much stronger than the previous flame attack, all the Gods present waited expectantly. However, when the flame reached the coffin, the coffin’s lid suddenly slid open. Everyone instantly felt like a concentrated clump of primal chaos energy was being released. Before they could even see what was going on, all the flame was absorbed into the coffin before the coffin’s lid slid back on. Everything returned to how it was before, as though nothing had happened at all.

Generally, fiendish beings should be terrified of fire. However, the ancient coffin before them had actually voluntarily opened the coffin to absorb the flame around it. That was truly inconceivable.

Nobody knew how it happened, but the coffin suddenly appeared before the God from the Guardians Guild. The coffin knocked against the God, spilling his blood everywhere. Before the God could react, the coffin slammed into him, crushing the God into a pile of mincemeat. Not even a God could escape the coffin; his body and soul were destroyed.

The surrounding Gods retreated in fear as they all hissed in shock. Something terrifying was hidden in that ancient coffin!

A different Guardians Guild member shouted, “Everyone, work together! We need to destroy this fiend, or it will be disastrous for the Western Desert!”

Someone else said, “That’s right. Let’s join hands against this evil being. Otherwise, everyone will suffer.”

The more than 10 Gods present thus joined hands and bombarded the coffin with attacks. Among the attackers, some were Gods while some were pseudo-Gods. They were all important members of various organizations. Working together, they sealed the surrounding area before working to decimate everything within it.

The Zombie God within the coffin naturally wouldn’t sit around and do nothing as they plotted his death. The coffin started spinning, forming a massive tornado of death energy that spread toward the surrounding Gods.

The Zombie God was too terrifying. Under his attack, the attacks of all the surrounding Gods were pulverized. A large amount of death energy shot toward the Gods, instantly turning several people into piles of mincemeat. Others suffered grave injuries.

An absorption force erupted from the coffin and dragged the pseudo-God corpses into the coffin. Everyone’s expressions turned unsightly. Some of the Gods even started escaping, not daring to stay around the coffin.

“We need an even stronger expert to suppress this ancient coffin,” someone said.

“The coffin must contain a terrifying zombie that had forged an indestructible body. Only a top-tier god-grade weapon can harm this zombie,” said someone else.

None of them was a match for the coffin. Thus, when the coffin moved yet again, they all tore open space and escaped through the void.
