Buzz!
This thunder dragon would usually penetrate through the protective barrier and straight into the ancient coffin before disappearing. This time, when it pierced into the protective barrier, it suddenly disappeared. The protective barrier that was supposed to emit soft light was currently sparkling with brilliant radiance as a terrifying aura was released from the barrier. It caused the space within the barrier to start vibrating.
“Not good!”
Ling Clan’s Patriarch cried out as he charged out of the barrier in a frantic manner. He slashed out using the sword on his hand as a sword radiance was shot out, causing surrounding space to split open with tiny cracks like on broken glass. It could be clearly seen how fierce the attack was.
Bang!
What caused Patriarch Ling’s heart to sink was the translucent barrier that he was supposed to be able to get through easily had actually become a real barrier. When Patriarch Ling’s formidable attack collided into the barrier, it only caused a slight tremble before his sword light was extinguished.
Tsk! Tsk!
Another thunder dragon above the sky descended from above and disappeared above the barrier. Patriarch Ling’s expression turned even gloomier. There was certainly a big problem arising which caused this barrier to suddenly change so abnormally.
As expected!
The skeletons at the bottom had all started shaking. All of them were sent flying away as ten black sea vines burst out fiercely towards Patriarch Ling like an inescapable net.
The Patriarch’s soul spirit was jolted as his eyes revealed traces of anger. His gaze penetrated through the sea vines and locked onto the female corpse within the ancient coffin. He had an indescribable feeling that all of these were controlled by the female corpse within.
“Kill!”
At this very moment, what could he possibly do? He wouldn’t be able to break the barrier in a short span of time because it was being further enhanced by the power from the lightning bolts. He could only exert all his strength to repel the sea vines first. Otherwise, if he were to get entangled by it, he would surely end up with a miserable fate.
“Eh?”
Jiang Yi, who was inside the Thearch Palace, was filled with astonishment. Very quickly, it was replaced with exultation. Previously, when he got pulled down, nothing like this had happened to him. Even after Jiang Xiaonu had cut off all the sea vines, this situation didn’t appear either. Could this be done by the female corpse?
“Ha!”
He couldn’t help but admit that the Patriarch’s strength was too powerful. The longsword on him kept on shooting out sword slashes. Although it couldn’t sever the sea vines, it was still able to deter those ten vines from getting closer him.
Tsk! Tsk!
Those ten vines kept on being repelled, but they would quickly come back rapidly, making them look like ten unkillable poison dragons. Ling Clan’s Patriarch brandished his sword as he shot out countless sword lights towards his surroundings like a violent storm. Meanwhile, his heart was in so much grievance that couldn’t be put into words.
He had pursued Jiang Yi for such a long time and was both mentally and physically exhausted. At this moment, he could still defend against the sea vines’ attacks; but how long could he last? Half a day? One day? Three or five days?
His eyes started to swivel around before an idea struck his mind!
Since he couldn’t break apart the barrier or sever the sea vines within a short period of time, the only thing he could do was to kill the one in control behind the scene.
Even though the young woman within the ancient coffin seemed to be dead, Ling Clan’s Patriarch was very sure all of this was caused by her. Lying within an ancient coffin on the seabed was already something very abnormal as it was.
“Ha!”
The power behind his attack suddenly became a lot more violent. How ferocious could a desperate attack from a peak-stage Vajra Realm martial expert be?
The black vines got repelled while wherever the longsword passed by, there would be layers of vibration and series of small cracks. Those surging attacks would also smash onto the barrier unceasingly, causing the barrier to shake. If there was a big mountain in the nearby vicinity, it would have been razed to the ground.
Swish!
He turned himself into an afterimage and swiftly got near to the ancient coffin. Just when he was a few hundred meters away from the ancient coffin, he struck out several sword slashes with lightning speed and repelled all the sea vines that were surrounding him. In the meantime, his other hand lighted up in white rays as he made a palm strike towards the front.
Tsk! Tsk!
All the heaven-and-earth essence force near him coagulated towards his palm frantically as it condensed into an immense palm shadow. The moment the huge palm was condensed, it suddenly disappeared. In the next second, the space 30 meters above the ancient coffin started fluctuating violently as the giant palm shadow which was over 30 meters in size had appeared and smashed down onto the coffin like the Mt. Tai crashing down.
“Ah—!”
Jiang Yi was able to clearly see what was happening outside through the crystal ball. Even when he was within the Thearch Palace, he could still feel the power from this palm strike. This was probably Patriarch Ling’s strongest spatial dao pattern attack. He reckoned that if this palm was to strike down, not even Shui Youlan would dare to receive it head-on. Even Fairy Peak would be turned into dust by this palm strike.
The ancient coffin didn’t seem to have any reaction to this astounding palm strike as the young lady who laid within it seemed to have truly died. It didn’t move at all.
Boom!
The large palm slammed down very quickly, and something happened that stupefied the Ling Clan’s Patriarch and Jiang Yi.
The instant the large palm slammed down, the ancient coffin lighted in a silver-white radiance. A lot of runic patterns appeared on the sparkling and translucent white jade coffin. In each of those runic patterns, it contained a strength that could cause them to feel their heart palpitating. During that moment of contact, Jiang Yi was able to sense those runic patterns contained the power of lightning.
Buzz!
The moment these runic patterns appeared, the whole space was frozen. A world-annihilating aura spread out from the ancient coffin. The aura caused Patriarch Ling and Jiang Yi to feel their soul spirit shuddering in fear.
Tsk! Tsk!
The runic patterns on the ancient coffin started moving like small snakes slithering around in the coffin. Very quickly, a lightning silver dragon shot out from the ancient coffin as it advanced towards Ling Clan’s Patriarch.
“This... this is a god artifact. It contained the strength of a god. This ancient coffin is actually a god artifact! How is this possible? How can there be a god artifact in the Stellarsky Domain? Who exactly is this young woman?!”
Patriarch Ling was suppressed by the terrifying runic patterns to the point that he was rendered immobile. He could only stare at the lightning dragon while it descended. Following which, he howled while his eyes were filled with fright. He stared at the young woman inside the ancient coffin as a pleading expression emerged out from his face.
Tsk! Tsk!
The lightning dragon pierced through the Ling Clan’s Patriarch. During that moment, his body and soul spirit were shivering non-stop as if his whole body just got struck by a bolt of lightning. His body started emitting smoke while his remaining hair got burnt away. His body gave off a smell of burnt meat while he continued to tremble—as though a relapse of epilepsy.
After the ancient coffin shot out a lightning dragon, the runic patterns disappeared rapidly as it returned to its original state. That terrifying palm strike from Patriarch Ling didn’t do any damage to the ancient coffin, and it seemed like the ancient coffin didn’t even shake. Meanwhile, the young lady laid within it peacefully, just like a sleeping beauty.
“Ahh, ahh, ahh...”
Patriarch Ling certainly deserved to be called the strongest expert in the continent. Even such a terrifying lightning was unable to kill him, and it obviously showed how strong his physique was. Despite so, his current appearance was even more miserable than Hundred Blossom Lady before her death. There weren’t parts on his body which weren’t scorched. Even his innards might have been roasted.
Tsk! Tsk!
All the sea vines shot over like a sharp sword. Now that the Ling Clan’s Patriarch body had been inflicted with heavy injuries and after being devastated by the lightning bolt, a majority of his meridians had already been destroyed. How was he going to defend against those sea vines?
He immediately got entangled by the sea vines and was pulled down to the seabed as he knocked onto a pile of skeletons. His body was entangled by more than a dozen sea vines, which wrapped him up like a human dumpling. Since his body was filled with injuries, he started crying out in pain.
“This runic patterns... why do these runic patterns look for familiar?”
Jiang Yi didn’t pay any attention to Patriarch Ling’s death while his eyes were filled with bewilderment. His mind was filled with all the runic patterns that were wandering around the ancient coffin. He could feel that it was exceptionally familiar to him but couldn’t tell where he had seen it before.
“Right! The seals—the seals on my dantian! Those runic patterns on the seals are very similar to the runic patterns on the ancient coffin. It’s too similar!” Jiang Yi smacked his head after realizing it. However, after he started thinking about it, he got even more confused.
Yi Piaopiao had told him before that the seal within his dantian wasn’t made by her. Could the person who sealed it be somewhat related to the owner of this ancient coffin? Or perhaps, could it be this young lady who sealed it?
“Ah, Ah!”
That miserable shriek that originated from the outside pulled Jiang Yi out from his deep thoughts. He shook his head and forced himself to stop thinking about it. He took a glance at the crystal ball while killing intent started rising up from his body. He fixed his gaze onto Patriarch Ling who was entangled by the black vines before revealing traces of cold intention and smiled, “Old man, let me send you off!”
