Guili Heavenly King said, "You all need not be so afraid. Since it hasn't been fully opened, it won't unleash a great terror."
This finally allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if a Divine Spirit were to unleash its power, it would truly be a cataclysmic disaster that could shatter the heavens and earth, destroying everything.
However, after relaxing slightly, a Saint Lord inquired again, "What about the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin?"
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Coffin is only slightly inferior to the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin," Guili Heavenly King explained. "Because the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin is only suitable for burial by existences like Emperors, beings who can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Heavenly Dao. If one doesn't reach that level, the ancient corpse would be annihilated by the Heavenly Dao, suffering divine retribution."
"I had some doubts before, but now I'm basically certain. This is indeed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Coffin. Look at what is carved inside those coffin lids that were blown open."
Following Guili Heavenly King's direction, everyone could see that the inner side of each coffin lid bore ancient diagrams and texts. For instance, the first coffin lid was divided into eighteen layers.
Each layer depicted numerous ghosts undergoing various degrees of vicious torment, resembling the eighteen layers of hell.
This was the Hell Path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The eighteen layers of hell were: Tongue-Plucking Hell, Scissors Hell, Iron Tree Hell, Mirror of Karma Hell, Steamer Hell, Bronze Pillar Hell, Mountain of Knives Hell, Ice Mountain Hell, Cauldron of Oil Hell, Ox Pit Hell, Stone Press Hell, Mortar Hell, Blood Pool Hell, Unjust Death Hell, Dismemberment Hell, Volcano Hell, Millstone Hell, and Saw Hell.
The second coffin lid depicted various hungry wraiths and ghosts, representing the Hungry Ghost Path, unable to eat anything and suffering endless hunger.
...
The four coffin lids that had been blown open earlier were all inscribed with ancient diagrams and texts, arranged according to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Guili Heavenly King said with a grave expression, "The so-called Six Paths of Reincarnation Coffin aims to use the power of the Six Paths of Heaven and Earth to seal oneself, not to enter the cycle of reincarnation and rebirth, but to seek a sliver of vitality for resurrection. However, the power of the Heavenly Dao is not so easily borrowed. Once opened, it might trigger the most terrifying backlash."
Finally, Guili Heavenly King, with a solemn expression, advised against opening it. On the contrary, he suggested using Immortal Ancient Weapons to send this mysterious ancient coffin into the starry sky. Otherwise, if opened, it might trigger the most dreadful disaster.
Although many were unwilling, at this point, there was nothing they could do.
Soon, someone borrowed Immortal Ancient Weapons, and not just one. Among them, Guili Heavenly King personally wielded one, all to prevent the most terrible disaster from occurring.
*Thump—*
Suddenly, a terrifying sound rang out, startling everyone.
It wasn't any ordinary sound, but a heartbeat. And it didn't come from anywhere else; it originated precisely from within the mysterious Six Paths of Reincarnation Coffin, causing everyone's expressions to change.
Could the being inside this mysterious stone coffin still be alive?
In an instant, the three Great Power-level Immortal Ancient Weapons that had been prepared long ago were all aimed at the Six Paths of Reincarnation Coffin. Guili Heavenly King did the same, already beginning to awaken the Great Power-level Immortal Ancient Weapon he held. The ancient might of a Great Power began to bloom, his expression grave, ready to strike at any moment.
*Thump— thump—*
*Thump—* ...
The heartbeat sounded again. As time passed, the beats became more frequent and increasingly powerful.
Each beat caused the heavens and earth to tremble, making mountains and valleys shake, filled with boundless power that shocked the mortal world!
Moreover, any cultivators who were slightly closer, as long as their cultivation was somewhat weaker, would be shaken by the heartbeat sound until they suffered internal injuries, their auras disrupted by the beats.
It was as if the heartbeat synchronized with the pulse of heaven and earth, influencing the very fabric of the world. Just what kind of invincible being was buried within this Six Paths of Reincarnation Coffin? Such a terrifying heartbeat indicated it must have been an invincible existence in life.
But a full day and night passed, and the existence within the mysterious stone coffin had yet to emerge. However, as time went on, the heartbeat from within the stone coffin grew louder, thumping incessantly. The giant pit trembled, and the surrounding mountains and valleys beyond the pit began to shake along with it.
This increasingly bizarre scene attracted more and more powerhouses. Not only did experts from the various Immortal Sacred Lands of the five nearby domains arrive, but even supreme sacred lands and imperial clans from the Myriad Domains Center heard the news and came to witness it.
A full five days passed like this. By now, more and more major forces kept arriving, including those from supreme sacred lands in the Myriad Domains Center. Even powerhouses from peerless imperial clans came, arriving on massive divine ships emerging from long-distance teleportation domain gates.
Even Heavenly Kings, who were considered legendary figures in the eyes of the world in Feixian Domain, arrived—twelve of them at this moment.
Especially among them, the Heavenly King from an imperial clan—he was a Heavenly King from the Ye Family. Upon seeing the mysterious stone coffin, he couldn't help but be startled. Then, he suddenly thought of a certain speculation and immediately prepared to send a message to his clan, requesting the appearance of a Ye Family Great Power.
The Heavenly Kings from the Qin Family, Myriad Worlds Palace, and Tai Chu Sacred Land did the same, sending messages immediately, as if they all knew some astonishing truth.
If their speculations proved true, it would likely stir up another massive storm across the myriad realms, with an especially great impact on certain individuals.
However, before those ancient Great Sages could arrive, the mysterious stone coffin began to undergo a strange transformation.
*Clang!*
The coffin lid flew open, shattering vast stretches of void.
Fortunately, the powerhouses had long since retreated far outside the giant pit. Otherwise, that terrifying fluctuation would have annihilated even Saints.
The various major forces watched closely. Naturally, the Heavenly Kings from each clan aimed their Immortal Ancient Weapons at the Six-Layered Reincarnation Coffin.
*Clang!*
Another coffin lid flew open, revealing a slightly smaller stone coffin inside.
The clanging sounds continued without end as coffin lids were blown open one after another. The powerhouses grew increasingly solemn, even beginning to awaken their Immortal Ancient Weapons, their terrifying might slowly being released.
Finally, it reached the sixth coffin—a stone coffin only one zhang tall. Yet, precisely because of this, everyone needed to brace themselves, focusing their spirits to the utmost. They could hear the heartbeat from within, now several times louder. Each beat resonated with heaven and earth, tearing the void.
*Clang!*
Finally, the sixth coffin lid opened. No seventh stone coffin appeared. Instead, an extremely terrifying aura began to emanate from within.
The moment it bloomed, everyone's expressions changed, including the twelve Heavenly Kings. They felt an unparalleled pressure slowly spreading from the sixth stone coffin, overwhelming heaven and earth, as if the most terrifying great evil was about to emerge.
*Boom—*
Within the sixth ancient coffin, terrifying primal chaos ancient energy surged and billowed, instantly engulfing heaven and earth, capable of shattering everything.
This caused everyone at the edge of the giant pit to change color, instantly retreating rapidly.
Faintly, it seemed a majestic figure could be seen emerging...
