Outside the passage, the group arrived at a very large tomb chamber.
The tomb chamber on this level is not decorated much; there is only a high platform, below which are hundreds of steps.
Atop the high platform stood a massive coffin.
Around the coffin, there are lifelike sculptures of the four mythical beasts: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, as if they still possess life and are constantly releasing their oppressive power.
Everyone stared solemnly at the enormous coffin that was tightly bound by chains.
Just by staring at them, it felt as if an immense pressure was descending upon them.
Tan Ning said with a grave expression, "It has been dead for millions of years and suppressed under this coffin for so long. Yet it can still release such a powerful aura. Just how powerful was it in life?"
No one answered.
No one could provide an answer.
This only proves how powerful the Chaos Divine Dynasty was back then, that even a small princely kingdom under its rule could be so terrifying.
Moreover, it seems this isn't even the main burial chamber. If the prince's subordinates possess such power, what about the prince himself?
A sense of unease settled over everyone, but at the same time, a tremendous greed ignited within them.
With such power, the treasures and heritage within this prince's tomb must be countless!
At this moment, Sha Yuansheng suddenly said, "There must be a treasure here, and judging from the tightly closed door behind us, we probably need to obtain that treasure to continue."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Sha Yuansheng.
Sha Yuansheng continued, "And judging from the surrounding area, there seems to be nothing else. The item of inheritance is probably related to the coffin on that high platform."
"So what?" Tan Ning frowned slightly, feeling that Sha Yuansheng's words were definitely not going to be anything good.
Sha Yuansheng grinned maliciously and looked at Shi Sheng, who was meditating to recover his Power of the Stars, Shi Sheng, "So someone has to go to that coffin. And someone didn't contribute much in the tomb passage, so it makes perfect sense to send him, doesn't it?"
Following Sha Yuansheng's gaze, everyone's eyes fell on Shi Sheng, who was meditating.
Fang Qiong's expression darkened.
Tan Ning angrily retorted, " Sha Yuansheng, are you blind? If Shi Sheng hadn't exhausted all his strength to find the mechanism for us, we'd probably still be trapped in the tomb passage!"
Sha Yuansheng sneered, "It's only a matter of time before we find the mechanism, but what did he do when we were fighting off those beetles? What are those thirty-odd dead men supposed to think about that?"
"You!"
Everyone present remained silent and offered no comment.
However, they all knew in their hearts that Sha Yuansheng was just making up a ridiculous excuse to make someone a cannon fodder.
Everyone knows that the coffin is definitely dangerous, and no one wants to be cannon fodder. Since it doesn't concern them, they might as well just watch from the sidelines.
Only the people from the Chaotic Spirit Academy and the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty glared angrily at Sha Yuansheng.
Shi Sheng then opened his eyes and looked at Sha Yuansheng, saying calmly, "I must say, your excuse is rather crude."
At this moment, Shi Sheng's Power of the Stars had recovered. He slowly stood up and stared at Sha Yuansheng, saying, "Do you think it's still useful to play this game now?"
Sha Yuansheng shook his head and said, "Just talking about it is useless, but... what if I force you with my strength?"
At this point, Sha Yuansheng unleashed a surge of the Ancestor Realm power, directly suppressing Shi Sheng!
Just as Shi Sheng was about to unleash the Power of the Stars, Tan Ning took a step forward and appeared in front of Shi Sheng. He also unleashed his Ancestor Realm strength, completely resisting the pressure from the Ancestor Realm.
" Sha Yuansheng, do you think my Chaotic Spirit Academy has no one to rely on?" Tan Ning coldly stared at Sha Yuansheng. "If you dare to do this, I guarantee that if your Sand Sea Sect dares to step out of the desert, our Chaotic Spirit Academy will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
"Hahahaha! Do you think this kind of threat will work on us?" Sha Yuansheng laughed mockingly. "Furthermore, ask everyone here, including those from outside forces, if they agree with my plan?"
Tan Ning looked around at the people. Apart from the people from the Chaotic Spirit Academy and the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty, everyone else was staring at Shi Sheng.
This made Tan Ning's heart sink.
It is said that external forces and desert forces are irreconcilable enemies.
However, if such a situation arises, they will still support the other side.
This is the Chaos Realm.
Sha Yuansheng opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could utter the first word, his gaze was drawn to something that seemed extremely terrifying. He opened his mouth, raised his head, and looked towards the high platform. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably!
Those nearby noticed Sha Yuansheng's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask him questions while following his gaze.
"What's wrong with you?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's face gradually stiffened with horror.
One tells ten, ten tell a hundred.
Gradually, everyone's attention turned to the high platform.
Shi Sheng and Fang Qiong also became serious.
On the high platform, atop the coffin, the chains of the enormous coffin remained unbroken. A woman in a red dress sat upon it, legs crossed, elbows propped on her thighs, back bent, chin resting on her palm. She watched them with keen interest, as if looking at ants!
"Hey, what are you looking at me for? Keep going, keep going! We haven't seen a show like this in a million years, so don't stop."
The woman in the red dress didn't exude any aura; her red dress was as vibrant as blood, and her stunningly beautiful face could drive even the most powerful men mad.
However, in this situation, no one would appreciate such allure; all that could be felt was a chill running down their spine, and their entire body was instantly drenched in cold sweat!
When did it appear?
Where did it come from?
All eyes were drawn to the coffin, even though the chains were still fastened...
Under the gaze of the woman in the red dress, everyone present seemed frozen in place, unable to move even if they tried to move!
Only his eyeballs could move with difficulty.
The woman in the red dress walked barefoot down the platform, saying as she went, "Ah, I haven't seen a living person in millions of years. Why aren't you moving? This is no fun. If it's no fun, then death is the only option."
After speaking, the woman in the red dress instantly descended the hundred-step staircase and arrived in front of one of the geniuses from outside forces. Her blood-red fingernails lightly touched the genius's brow.
The fingernail pierced the space between the eyebrows without any resistance. Under the extremely terrified gaze of the prodigy, his mouth kept opening and closing but he couldn't scream.
In the end, those wisps of divine soul power wrapped around the woman in the red dress's fingernails and were then pulled out.
He put it in his mouth, sucked on his nail, and licked his lips, saying, "It's quite delicious."
