The Foreign Being in the Ancient Coffin and the Corrupted World Origin

Seeing that Gu Xuanjin had finished his business and was preparing to investigate the strange coffin,

Zhou Feng and the others standing nearby tactfully realized it was time for them to leave.

Besides, if Gu Xuanjin and his companions had not intervened just now,

they would all have lost their lives to Lu Jun, the third prince of the Myriad Demon Divine Court.

So they came forward one after another to thank Gu Xuanjin.

Then they left the great hall.

After everyone had left,

Gu Xuanjin and his two companions flickered into motion.

They arrived beside the ancient bronze coffin, which exuded a dense, eerie presence.

Gu Xuanjin raised his hand and unleashed a silver-white sword beam of unparalleled sharpness and ferocity.

Clang-

The sword beam struck the divine chains, setting them swaying and clattering.

But the attack, which even an ordinary Void God Realm expert would have struggled to withstand,

left only a few faint sword marks on the chains!

Ji Song reached out and tugged at them a few times as well.

But even he could not break the divine chains.

He could not help wondering what lay inside.

"I wonder what's sealed inside this coffin.

It actually made the Heavenly Peng Demon King personally set up so many divine chains of law to restrain it."

Gu Xuanjin walked around the ancient coffin, examining it closely.

The patterns covering its sides, which resembled the Nine Nether Hell,

seemed to proclaim its eerie and extraordinary nature.

Before long,

Gu Xuanjin spotted some different patterns in the lower right corner of the coffin's left wall.

These patterns were just as eerie.

They appeared

to depict a fragment of the heavens falling from the sky,

with two beings fighting beneath it to claim it.

One of the beings seemed to be a golden-winged great peng.

The other looked like a foreign being that was difficult to make out.

"This golden-winged great peng should be the Heavenly Peng Demon King.

Since the coffin is here,

it seems the foreign being who fought the Heavenly Peng Demon King is sealed inside it.

Whatever they were fighting over is most likely in here too."

It was something even a Peak Quasi-Emperor great power had cared deeply about.

Gu Xuanjin grew interested as well.

Gu Xuanjin did not ask Gu Beimo and the others to act.

Instead, he directly drew on the power of his Supreme Sword Bone.

From his chest,

dazzling silver light suddenly burst forth!

Sword Qi, sharper than the limits of the world, surged out like a flood.

An ethereal, mysterious and supreme sword intent surged and churned like a tide.

Before Gu Xuanjin, they gathered into a divine sword ablaze with silver light.

Boundlessly sharp and overwhelmingly powerful!

The supreme power within it could grind all things in heaven and earth to nothing and pulverize the sun, moon, and stars.

It made the void rumble incessantly.

Amid a piercing whistle,

the silver divine sword crashed down upon the chains!

The next moment,

the sounds of divine chains snapping rang out one after another.

Those indestructible chains proved unable to stop the silver-white divine sword.

In moments, every last one had been severed!

Boom-

With a dull thud,

the ancient coffin crashed heavily to the ground.

There had originally been a sealing formation on the coffin too,

but after all these years, its power had been exhausted.

Lü Yifei swung the Ghost God Sky Piercer and smashed the formation apart with overwhelming force.

After breaking the formation,

Lü Yifei opened the coffin lid,

revealing what lay inside.

A foreign being lay within, its flesh and blood withered and decayed, its features savage and grotesque.

It faintly exuded an eerie, ominous presence.

Its oppressive pressure was no weaker than that of Peak Quasi-Emperor great powers like Gu Beimo.

It could not help but make one's heart tremble.

Yet the instant the coffin was opened,

the being's tightly shut eyes

snapped open, revealing unnerving white pupils.

They were utterly vacant, however.

Clearly, its self-awareness had already been erased, leaving it an empty shell, a walking corpse.

After sensing Gu Xuanjin and his two companions,

apparently acting on instinct,

the being leaped straight out of the ancient coffin.

Its massive frame, four or five zhang tall, lunged fiercely at the three of them!

Its baleful aura soared to the heavens, sinister and bone-chilling!

Gu Xuanjin stopped Ji Song, who had been about to act.

"This thing has been sealed away for so many years.

Its power has long since been almost completely worn away.

But its physical strength is still formidable.

It's just right for this divine son to practice on!"

Before his words had even faded,

the magic power around him had already begun to boil and surge.

The Law of the Sword Dao swept forth like a mighty river.

The clear, piercing ring of swords echoed out.

Boundless Sword Qi swept across the surroundings.

Wisps of silver-white divine light drifted about, vast and sharp, surging and churning like an ocean.

In an instant, they formed an enormous sword dao barrier permeated by a terrifying power that could annihilate everything!

It sealed heaven and earth, unfathomably profound and infinitely changeable!

Everything inside came to a standstill.

The being was enveloped within it.

Its enormous body was even frozen in midair, unable to move or struggle!

As the terrifying sword formation began to operate,

the foreign being's

body was ground to pieces by an abyss of endless silver-white Sword Qi!

A moment later,

every trace of the foreign being's existence had been utterly annihilated!

Gu Xuanjin was somewhat surprised.

This was his first time using the forbidden divine ability Sword Dao Pagoda.

He had not expected its power to be so formidable and domineering.

Although the foreign being had been weakened to an extreme,

it had once been a Peak Quasi-Emperor great power capable of contending with the Heavenly Peng Demon King.

Yet it still could not withstand the Sword Dao Pagoda's crushing force!

After the foreign being was destroyed,

it left behind a cluster of mysterious origin power.

Strange black light was interwoven with its pure, luminous white divine light.

Gu Xuanjin's eyes flickered slightly.

This was what the Heavenly Peng Demon King had once sought to claim.

He raised a hand and beckoned, and the origin power appeared in his palm.

Gu Xuanjin's expression shifted slightly.

What he held appeared to be a cluster of world origin power.

But something about it seemed wrong!

Through the cluster of world origin power, he saw a vast world.

But the sky there was exceedingly dark.

Foreign beings corrupted by a strange power were everywhere.

Their oppressive pressure was tremendously powerful and heavy.

Yet they gave off an evil, dark presence.

Gu Xuanjin frowned.

To obtain this world origin power in the Demon King's legacy,

he should have been quite lucky.

But this world origin power was abnormal and could not be used directly.

Just as Gu Xuanjin was lamenting the loss, a system notification sounded.

[World origin power (strange):

After the host refines it,

he can incorporate it into his inner world when he forms it.

It will strengthen the world's foundation and raise its level.

However, the strange power within this origin power will corrupt and erode him.]

[The host may spend 39 million Villain Points to purify it.]

"Purify it!"

The system's words filled Gu Xuanjin's heart with joy.

Although he had just lost nearly forty million Villain Points, it was worth it.

Inside the System Space,

after being purified by the system's supreme power,

the corrupted world origin power had become pure and flawless once more.

It radiated a dense, boundless sacred light!

When cultivators broke through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm,

they would form a world within their bodies.

The stronger the world origin power,

the higher the potential of their inner world, and the more vast the power of that world they could wield!

Moreover, the mark of a Quasi-Emperor Realm great power

was the ability to merge with heaven and earth and wield their mighty power!

Because they themselves were already a world of their own!
