Chapter 56 The Coffin Puller
"Help me."
From behind, came the cries of terror.
There were cultivators enveloped in the black fog, crying out for aid,
hoping that someone might save them.
But now,
everyone was struggling to save themselves.
Who would go to rescue others?
Bang bang bang...
The sounds of exploding flesh rose one after another.
The blood fog was all swallowed by the ancient stone coffin.
Nobody knew what exactly was inside the ancient stone coffin, something so sinister.
"Damn it, I told them the Ice Plateau Pulling Coffin was extremely strange and not to mess with the ancient stone coffin. They wouldn't listen, and sure enough, trouble follows," Lin Feng cursed under his breath.
For someone like Lin Feng, who had no intention of touching the ancient stone coffin from the beginning,
this was nothing but an undeserved calamity.
Many people died miserably,
all because they were implicated by those others.
Lin Feng spread his Golden Body Feathered Wings and flew rapidly towards the distance.
However,
fierce winds swept through the area,
greatly affecting his speed.
Therefore, as the black fog surged behind him, it grew ever closer to Lin Feng.
"I don't want to die,"
a cultivator screamed in fear.
They even resorted to using secret techniques of escape, which took a huge toll on them,
but they still couldn't successfully break free to safety.
All of them were devoured by the black fog,
and one by one, the cultivators exploded into pieces.
"Demon Monarch, save me,"
Lin Feng communicated with the Demon Monarch.
But he received no response from the Demon Monarch.
The Demon Monarch sat atop a solitary grave,
his eyes piercing the void,
looking towards the coffin puller and the ancient stone coffin.
"Burial Heaven Coffin,"
the Demon Monarch murmured, "Even for ten drops of Undying Divine Blood, I'd not intervene. Should I do so, I too would be buried by the Burial Heaven Coffin."
Immediately after, the Demon Monarch sat there with a very melancholic expression, unmoving.
His eyes deep.
Nobody knew what the Demon Monarch was thinking.
...
Crack crack.
The flesh began to fissure.
Lin Feng's face turned deathly pale.
He frenziedly channeled the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique,
but still could hardly withstand the terrifying condition of his cracking flesh.
"Bronze Mirror, come forth,"
Lin Feng shouted low.
He activated the Bronze Mirror.
Instantly, the Bronze Mirror emitted a ray of bronze light, shielding Lin Feng.
The Bronze Mirror possessed not only formidable offensive power but also formidable defensive power.
This was a treasure that Lin Feng had obtained from the "Mochou Cave Mansion."
He remembered,
the unparalleled fairy-like woman, who quietly guarded in wait for her lover's return,
until her youth was no more,
her beauty aged,
and she never got to see her lover return.
With endless longing, sorrow, and memories,
"Mochou" left this world.
This Bronze Mirror, a supreme treasure of "Senior Mochou," was astoundingly powerful. As it protected Lin Feng,
his physical body finally stopped cracking apart.
Lin Feng wanted to seize this opportunity to escape the black fog,
but,
the ancient stone coffin was too bizarre.
It seemed to have sensed Lin Feng's attempt to flee,
within the black fog,
a thick chain condensed into existence.
Then,
it swept towards Lin Feng.
Bang.
Lin Feng was swept out by the black chain,
his body moving sideways through the air,
his face pale as paper,
his expression gloomy,
his countenance extremely grim.
The attack from the black chain was too strong; even the protective light shield formed by the Bronze Mirror was about to shatter.
Lin Feng got up from the ground and didn't dare to stay put, flying quickly towards the distance.
At that moment, the pitch-black chain came sweeping towards Lin Feng again,
even more powerful.
Emanating,
waves of energy capable of destroying heaven and earth,
almost suffocating Lin Feng.
Lin Feng naturally knew that he couldn't escape by fleeing alone.
He held the Bronze Mirror in hand,
invoking its full power.
The Bronze Mirror emitted beams of bronze light, sweeping towards the black chain.
Bang bang bang...
The fierce sound of collision.
Suddenly, it rang out.
The light shot out from the bronze mirror was shattered by the black chains vibrating violently.
The power of the black chains was absurdly strong.
They grew larger and larger.
Eventually, they transformed into a mountainous mass, crashing down towards Lin Feng.
"It's over."
Lin Feng's face turned deathly pale.
He was not willing to die just like that.
Lin Feng immediately began burning his life span to stimulate the bronze mirror.
Generally, powerful magical treasures could be enhanced by burning life span.
Lin Feng had burned fifty years of his life span.
The tremendous power obtained from burning his life span surged into the bronze mirror.
Hum.
The bronze mirror emitted an even more powerful aura.
Within the bronze light,
Faint and hazy,
A figure appeared.
It was impossible to see the figure clearly.
The figure vanished as swiftly as it came, disappearing in an instant.
The bronze mirror collided with the black chains.
The bronze mirror temporarily held off the attack of the black chains.
But clearly,
It couldn't hold out for much longer.
The black chains were simply too powerful.
The resultant destruction
Was beyond imagination.
Crack, crack.
Before long,
The defensive system constructed by the bronze mirror started to crumble again.
"Am I really going to die here?"
Lin Feng's face was incredibly grim.
Something Lin Feng didn't expect happened.
The coffin carrier, who had been struggling to move forward,
Actually turned his head when the bronze mirror was activated.
Lin Feng saw a pair of eyes.
These were eyes filled with endless confusion, as if lost in an unknown world.
Now, those confused eyes regained a glimpse of clarity.
Boom.
The coffin carrier struck out, his palm landing on the stone coffin.
The stone coffin vibrated, the chains shattered.
The black mist also began to dissipate.
But soon, an even more formidable aura emanated from the stone coffin.
Boom, boom, boom...
The ancient stone coffin vibrated, as if the void itself would shatter.
The lid of the stone coffin seemed to be pushed open by something.
"My God, what exactly is buried in the ancient stone coffin? Could it really be a Divine Spirit? It's struggling—wanting to break out of the ancient stone coffin. Could it be that it didn't die?"
Lin Feng's heart was filled with shock.
The ancient stone coffin was far too sinister.
The coffin carrier's lips writhed.
As if chanting a curse.
Then.
Sequences of mysterious Array Patterns on the stone coffin twisted.
A total of nine Array Patterns.
Those nine Array Patterns turned into nine-headed True Dragons.
The nine-headed True Dragons roared at Heaven and Earth.
Then.
The nine-headed True Dragons turned into nine chains, wrapping around the stone coffin.
The being within the stone coffin.
Stopped struggling.
All returned to calm.
The coffin carrier only regained a moment of clarity.
Soon, he became dazed again.
Aimlessly,
Struggling,
He pulled the stone coffin.
Advancing through the wind and snow.
Boom, boom, boom.
The ground trembled.
The Ice Plateau Pulling Coffin.
Gradually drifted away.
Lin Feng watched the back of the coffin carrier,
Yet found it hard to calm the turmoil in his heart.
Who is he?
Was he really cursed?
Why is he pulling a coffin here?
The rumors say he is a sinner.
Is he truly a sinner?
Why, then, did he help me?
This is what Lin Feng most wanted to know.
Could it be?
The bronze mirror?
Lin Feng looked at the now dim bronze mirror in his hand.
In the midst of the wind and snow, he stood for a long time, motionless.
Until the coffin carrier, pulling the ancient bronze coffin, disappeared into the endless extremity of the ice plateau,
Lin Feng finally snapped back to reality.
Yet for some reason, when he looked down at the bronze mirror again, an inexplicable sorrow arose in his heart.
