Xiao Ping'an opened his Heavenly Eye to observe carefully, but found that he could not see through the scene inside; it was all shrouded in mist.
He lightly touched the coffin with his White Bone Saber, producing a metallic clang.
The coffin exuded a mysterious aura and appeared very sturdy.
"This coffin isn't made of any special material. It looks like it could be used not only to forge Extreme Dao Weapon, but perhaps even Immortal Artifact."
"Could it be another treasure that fell from the rift in the Immortal Domain and ended up in the hands of that Dark Weird?"
Xiao Ping'an controlled the White Bone Saber, trying to gently push open the coffin lid, but found that the lid did not move at all, as if it were a single piece.
Unable to contain himself, the Hundun Heavenly Venerable slapped the coffin lid with his palm, unleashing countless Great Daos of Heaven and Earth and boundless Hundun Divine Hundun Heavenly Art.
With a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created.
In the previously silent little world, a huge sound like thunder suddenly erupted, as if the whole world was about to explode.
To everyone's astonishment, the coffin was incredibly sturdy. Even with the power of the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, he couldn't break it or even budge the lid.
Xiao Ping'an frowned as well. This coffin was so sturdy; could it be something special?
If the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin were impossible to open, that would be understandable. But why is this coffin, which looks like Shitou, so incredibly hard?
With their current strength, they could easily shatter Extreme Dao Weapon and even leave their finger marks on Immortal Artifact.
But when Hundun Heavenly Venerable slapped the coffin hard, he didn't even leave a handprint, which was truly astonishing.
Just as the two were discussing how to open the Shitou coffin, they heard a crackling sound, and the coffin lid began to vibrate slightly and slowly open on its own.
Countless Hundun surged forth from within, illuminated by Chaos Immortal Light, causing this world to rumble and roar.
Xiao Ping'an held the White Bone Saber in his hand, with the Overlord Heaven Bell above his head.
The Hundun Heavenly Venerable held Bronze Immortal Palace in his hands, and a huge Chaos Cauldron was above his head.
They were all carefully observing the strange changes within the Shitou coffin.
To their astonishment, the aura emanating from the coffin was one of sacred peace and tranquility, without the slightest hint of anything eerie.
An invincible aura, capable of suppressing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and looking down upon all heroes under heaven, emanated from it.
Countless Hundun and celestial lights were shining.
Xiao Ping'an's Heavenly Eye directly pierced through the Hundun and saw the true scene inside.
Inside the coffin lay a person.
When Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable saw the man's appearance, they were greatly shocked; it was actually the corpse of Emperor Venerable.
Yes, it was a corpse, a lifeless corpse.
Despite his lifelike appearance and unparalleled domineering aura, as if he could kill all living beings in the world with a single gesture, he was confident and arrogant.
But he was already dead. The aura emanating from his body clearly indicated that he was a corpse, and the flame of his primordial spirit had long been extinguished.
"This is the Emperor Venerable's fifth incarnation."
"What? Could it be that the Emperor Venerable has already lived through his sixth life?"
Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable carefully examined the Emperor Venerable's body, confirming that it was indeed the body transformed from the Emperor Venerable's fifth incarnation.
" The Emperor Venerable truly has remarkable abilities; he has already lived to his sixth incarnation!"
"Could it be that the strange thing helped him transform? But this body isn't the Dark Weird one."
Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable observed carefully, trying to find any clues.
Looking at the coffin, Xiao Ping'an's face showed a strange expression.
The origin of the coffin was clearly stated on the inner wall of the coffin.
It turns out that it was a coffin that the Desolate Heaven Emperor had crafted to bury eight hundred veterans.
It allows them to transform and be elevated within it, so that one day they can be resurrected and return.
As the Desolate Heaven Emperor grew stronger, the coffins he casually crafted became increasingly incredible.
This coffin somehow ended up here, and in the hands of the Emperor Venerable.
It is indeed quite normal for this Emperor Venerable to be able to live a new Lifetime in this coffin.
After all, everyone believed in the power of the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
But the coffin is here; what about the remains of one of the eight hundred veterans?
Then the two of them soon saw the scriptures left by the Emperor Venerable on the wall of the coffin.
Looking at the handwriting, Xiao Ping'an's expression became even more strange.
Judging from the handwriting, it was indeed the work of the Netherworld Venerable.
It turns out that the Netherworld Venerable also found this place, saw the coffin, and also saw the corpse.
Why would he leave behind the Emperor Venerable's scriptures instead of his own?
Could it be that the intention was to prevent people from ending up empty-handed while searching for treasure, and from becoming enraged and damaging the Emperor Venerable's body, thus handing over this scripture?
One of the coffins that the Desolate Heaven Emperor left for his eight hundred veterans has actually fallen into the hands of the Emperor Venerable.
The Emperor Venerable lived a new Lifetime within this coffin.
And the old ghost, the Netherworld Venerable, actually found this place. It seems he even cultivated and meditated inside this coffin before.
I wonder if the Emperor was both shocked and furious when he sensed the aura of the Netherworld Venerable Emperor Venerable completing his transformation.
" The Emperor Venerable's strength was so great, from the Ancient Era to the Mythological Era, and then to the late stage of Shrouding the Heavens, he was the first strong person to become Mortal World Immortal during this period, yet he ended up being an unlucky fellow."
"After being corrupted by Dark Weird, it stayed with him for life, until he was finally killed by Ye Fan and the others. He never found release. What bad luck."
The two carefully examined the Emperor Venerable's corpse, trying to understand how he had lived out a new Lifetime.
The two had made up their minds to take the coffin with them.
If this thing can give someone a new Lifetime, then it is incredibly precious.
Even if it can only be used to live through the previous few lifetimes, it is still extremely precious.
Although the Emperor Venerable's body exuded endless killing intent, it posed no threat to Xiao Ping'an'an and the others in their current state.
The two examined the corpse carefully, trying to find out what secrets it held.
The two men quickly frowned, for they had discovered something astonishing.
They discovered that the seemingly flawless body, along the contours of his abdomen, had once nurtured something, much like a pregnant woman's placenta.
Now that thing has crawled out of my stomach and escaped, or rather, it has left.
Xiao Ping'an's mind went blank for a moment, then he realized something.
"Could that Dark Emperor Venerable have been conceived within the body of this fifth incarnation of the Emperor Venerable?"
"It wasn't that the Emperor Venerable lived a sixth life, but rather that the Dark Weird forcibly seized the Emperor Venerable's fifth incarnation and used it as its own cradle."
No wonder the Dark Emperor Venerable was so hard to fathom; it turns out he had been hiding in the coffin personally crafted by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
Although the Desolate Heaven Emperor may not have been that powerful at that time, this coffin was already quite miraculous.
That Dark Weird creature possessed an almost endless lifespan.
After arriving in this world and possessing the Emperor Venerable, he actually began to attempt to cultivate the Five Great Secret Realms Method.
I wonder if the corruption of the Five Great Secret Realms Cultivation Method in later generations is related to this Little Black?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping'an became even more determined to kill that Dark Emperor Venerable.
The Dark Emperor Venerable has been resurrected, but where is the true Emperor Venerable? Is he truly dead?
Or perhaps the Emperor Venerable who was killed back then was truly just the Emperor Venerable was killed.
That Dark Weird —was it a cicada shedding its shell?
Regardless of the circumstances, this Dark Emperor Venerable is, after all, the source of all evil in this world. If he is not eliminated, he will threaten everyone.
Regardless of how the Emperor Venerable became Mortal World Immortal, this Dark Weird remained lurking within the Emperor Venerable's body in the original story until the later stages of Shrouding the Heavens.
This damned Dark Weird has given me a complete understanding of how to become Mortal World Immortal in this world; it's just too poisonous.
This Dark Weird, having glimpsed the immortal techniques of the Mortal World Immortal, probably also understood just how extraordinary this training ground truly was.
The fact that this place was later discovered to have been destroyed may also be related to this Dark Weird.
Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable wore solemn expressions.
I wonder what kind of power this Dark Emperor Venerable possesses now? Could he have the power of the Sixth Emperor Venerable?
If that were the case, the two of them would likely be outmatched in a fight against the Emperor Venerable.
They even face the danger of perishing.
Although the two were already powerful enough, the addition of the Dark Weird element surrounding the Emperor Venerable meant they had to consider the worst-case scenario.
We can't keep thinking about killing the Dark Emperor Venerable the moment we meet him.
Imagine living six lifetimes on the Red Dust Immortal Path —how terrifying that must be. Think of how powerful Ye Fan was in his sixth incarnation.
Xiao Ping'an said, "I once fought against Dark Emperor Venerable, and it felt like he was only at the level of an ordinary Supreme, not as strong as I had imagined."
"We're not as powerful as a sixth incarnation; perhaps we're just scaring ourselves."
"Yes, that's true, but we also need to be wary of the Dark Emperor Venerable deliberately feigning weakness."
"That Dark Weird; judging from all the signs, he desperately wanted to enter the Immortal Domain."
"Perhaps we can take advantage of this."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping'an directly suppressed the Emperor Venerable's body into the stone tablet refined by the Desolate Heaven Emperor. No matter what trouble he caused, he would just suppress it all.
As for this mysterious Shitou coffin, the Hundun Heavenly Venerable suppressed it inside the Bronze Immortal Palace.
Let's look into it when we have the chance later.
The two touched the Emperor Venerable's corpse and the mysterious Shitou coffin, and immediately, as if triggering some signal, the whole world suddenly changed.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
That terrifying aura was like something that could destroy the heavens and the earth.
Suddenly, countless black Great Dao Runes appeared throughout the world, connecting it to the outside world and forcibly transforming this world into a prison.
According to Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, the spacetime coordinates of this world instantly became disordered, clearly indicating that it had plunged into the Chaos Sea.
How could Xiao Ping'an possibly sit idly by and wait to die? He immediately took up the White Bone Saber and was about to shatter this world.
Before Xiao Ping'an could even launch his attack, the entire world suddenly exploded.
The world was plunged into darkness, with countless corpses suspended in the terrifying black mist.
A vast, eerie black mist surged and billowed, carrying a terrifying and sinister aura.
Above this world, crimson rays of light flowed slowly, and a blood-red immortal sword appeared there.
This immortal sword is actually the same immortal sword that fell into the hands of the Ruthless Great Emperor in later generations. It is another Immortal Artifact besides the Desolate Pagoda, the Kunlun Immortal Bell, the Bronze Immortal Palace, the Immortal Heaven-Penetrating Nether Treasure Immortal Ascension Cauldron, and the Heavenly Nether Treasure.
Yes, Xiao Ping'an was absolutely certain that it was that immortal sword.
Xiao Ping'an had repeatedly deduced the location of the immortal sword but had been unable to find it. He never expected it to fall into the hands of the Dark Emperor Venerable.
Moreover, the immortal runes emanating from it further convinced Xiao Ping'an.
At this moment, the Dark Emperor Venerable wore a jet-black imperial crown and a jet-black Daoist robe. Apart from his appearance being exactly the same as the former Emperor Venerable, his aura had long since changed.
He looked at Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable, who were imprisoned in the world's cage, and roared angrily.
"Damn it, how dare you steal my body and coffin! Die!"
An endless stream of murderous intent emerged throughout the world.
Countless crimson rays of light swirled, and the blood-red immortal sword hummed loudly.
A terrifying burst of light erupted, as if to tear this world apart.
At this moment, the Dark Emperor Venerable showed no fear in the face of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, and directly attacked.
His strength is indeed formidable.
The Dark Emperor Venerable truly possessed the power of his sixth incarnation, and the worst-case scenario predicted by Xiao Ping'an and the others had materialized.
Sword light crisscrossed billions of miles, and Hundun energy surged and roared, unleashing a frenzied and incomparably deadly killing intent.
This immortal sword, its sword light is like a series of Red Dragon, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
They are hidden in the vast Hundun and the eerie black mist, ready to kill Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable at any moment.
Facing the imposing Dark Emperor Venerable, Xiao Ping'an showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he was eager to test just how powerful the sixth incarnation of the Dark Emperor Venerable truly was.
He also possessed Immortal Artifact, so he was naturally not inferior in terms of weaponry.
But when it comes to their physical bodies, and seeing whose body is stronger, Xiao Ping'an really wants to try.
After all, he possessed a Great Accomplished Tyrant Body physique, having defied the heavens to attain enlightenment. His physical constitution was inherently exceptional. Although the Emperor Venerable did not know what extraordinary encounters he had experienced, Xiao Ping'an was confident that he would not be at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength.
Rumble.
Xiao Ping'an's body moved with incredible speed, his hands constantly drawing, one hand drawing spatial runes and the other drawing time runes.
At the same time, its Five Great Secret Realms resonate together, radiating a mysterious brilliance.
The sound emanating from his body was so loud it was like thunder.
As he evolved the supreme Spacetime Great Dao, even the Dark Emperor Venerable's face showed a solemn expression.
He was very surprised.
Seemingly surprised that Xiao Ping'an was able to comprehend both the Time Great Dao and the Space Great Dao, two top-tier Daos, simultaneously.
Immersed in the profound mysteries of forbidden techniques of time and space, Xiao Ping'an's combat power rapidly increased. He fused the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist with his Tyrant Fist, and in a trance, six worlds appeared, within which time and space underwent an incredible sublimation.
This cage of the world cracked and sputtered, as if it couldn't bear the pressure and was about to collapse at any moment.
Rumble.
Xiao Ping'an moved at will, using the secret techniques of time and space, his aura growing stronger and stronger.
The mysterious black mist that shrouded this world gradually dissipated, like ice and snow melting away.
Even that cage of the world was forcibly shattered.
The spacetime Great Dao Runes drawn by Xiao Ping'an struck the immortal sword with a loud clang and a tremendous booming sound.
Like the sound of metal clashing, it exploded with a deafening roar.
The crimson immortal sword was almost broken, and it flew into the Hundun in a sorry state.
Although he didn't completely destroy or kill the weapon deity, Xiao Ping'an's current cultivation level is enough to make him proud.
The Dark Emperor Venerable waved his hand, forcibly summoning the crimson immortal sword back.
The immortal sword rang out with a clang, the weapon deity, enraged, unleashing an even more powerful aura, determined to fight Xiao Ping'an to the death.
Meanwhile, the Dark Emperor Venerable, his eyes flashing with black flames, stared intently at Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
It seems they wanted to deduce the origins of the two individuals.
"It was you. You were the one who killed me."
After a simple deduction, the Dark Emperor Venerable immediately understood that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable before him was actually the one who killed his original self back then.
Although it was precisely because Xiao Ping'an killed the original body that he was able to become the new body, the Dark Emperor Venerable would not be grateful to Xiao Ping'an.
All he wants now is to kill Xiao Ping'an completely and avenge himself.
He would never forget how he had suffered a great loss at Xiao Ping'an's hands.
Originally, after parasitizing the Emperor Venerable in this world, it almost swept away everything, maximizing all kinds of emotional value.
But after meeting Xiao Ping'an, it was as if she was being restrained; whenever she had anything to do with him, everything would go wrong.
This Dark Weird and eerie creature, yet it also worried that there might be some unseen cause and effect at play, something it didn't understand, which was why it was constantly being restrained.
He once tried to storm the Heavenly Venerable's door when the Overlord Heavenly Venerable was proving his Dao.
Even before that, they wanted to flatten the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star, but were stopped by a mysterious force.
Now that enemies have met, their eyes are filled with intense hatred.
He has been lying in wait for so many years; today, he is determined to kill the Overlord Heavenly Venerable no matter what.
Feeling the Emperor Venerable's murderous gaze, Xiao Ping'an said, "You damned thing, go back to where you came from! What are you doing in our world?"
"You wicked thing, you're absolutely wicked." Xiao Ping'an glanced at the Dark Supreme and said dismissively.
The black flames in the eyes of the Dark Emperor Venerable trembled violently, clearly indicating that he was extremely agitated.
However, he ignored Xiao Ping'an and instead looked at Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
After observing carefully, he seemed to have figured something out, but he still looked completely bewildered.
"You're a very peculiar person. You're clearly already an incomparably powerful Heavenly Venerable, so why do I feel something's off?"
"I can't even deduce your origins. It seems to be formed from the will of countless people. Could you also be a monster? Did you devour billions of living beings to achieve your own Great Dao?"
The Dark Emperor Venerable muttered to himself, saying something in an ancient and peculiar language, possibly the common language of Weird Race.
