Wei Huo checked it out. The person buried inside was an ordinary person. However, the various armor and jade items he was wearing were not ordinary. The armor and jade items were made of rare materials. They were filled with inner Qi and could continuously replenish the corpse’s Qi to ensure that the corpse would not rot.
However, as time passed, everything would die. The inner Qi in the jade items was the same, and so was the corpse of the mortal.
The corpse had just sat up. Regardless of whether it had developed intelligence or not, it could not do anything to the two Legendary creatures. Hence, it seemed like it knew this and gradually collapsed back into the coffin.
The golden armor was no longer afraid. It flew up and checked the various items in the coffin carefully. Then, it said, “It’s not my style to return empty-handed from a treasure mountain. It won’t be long before I leave Kunlun Mountain and travel the world. How can I not have some starting capital?”
Wei Huo had not expected it to be lecherous, timid, and greedy. He glanced at the golden armor and said, “Are you really a piece of armor?”
The golden armor said, “I’m not battle armor. Am I human?”
As it spoke, it took out the burial items that were in the coffin. It did not find it difficult. It took off the two pieces of jade around the corpse’s waist and hung them around its waist. It also took a pearl from the corpse’s crown and stuffed it into its helmet. The pearl floated on its helmet and kept glowing.
“Pretend that this is my main body to draw the enemy’s firepower.”
Wei Huo found another tunnel in the tomb and walked inside. The golden armor followed him hurriedly. At that moment, the sound of a woman crying came from the tunnel. The golden armor was terrified. “What is crying? It might be something foul.”
Wei Huo strode forward. No matter what was inside, even if there were ghosts, they were just powerful spirits. He was used to them. Humans were afraid of such things because they were too weak. They would not be afraid if they became stronger.
Wei Huo moved forward while the golden armor followed him closely. Soon, Wei Huo saw a glimmer of light. The further they walked, the brighter the light became. When they walked out of this cave, they saw a huge underground cave. There was a majestic palace in the cave. The light was coming from the palace.
There was an enormous gate in front of the palace. On either side of the gate were two huge stone statues. The stone statues were not lions as people knew them to be. They were special animals. They had lion bodies, python tails, bat wings, and human heads.
The statues were very weird and unusual.
There was a plaque on the gate. On the plaque was the word ‘Netherworld’.
Wei Huo walked forward as if he wanted to open the gate of the Netherworld. However, the stone statues on either side came alive and tried to attack Wei Huo with their fangs and claws. Wei Huo suddenly emitted the Nirvana Domain. As soon as this domain was emitted, the two stone statues stopped.
They looked at each other and retreated without saying anything. They sat back on the ground obediently and stared ahead. However, they would occasionally turn their eyes to steal glances at Wei Huo.
The golden armor looked down on them. “These two are really cowards. They didn’t dare attack when they realized that we were at the Legendary stage.”
Wei Huo looked at the plaque on the gate and said, “I’m afraid that’s not the case.”
The Nirvana Domain kept expanding, and the aura of nirvanic extermination shrouded the cave. The door of the Netherworld suddenly opened, and a few spirit bodies in butler uniforms floated out. The spirit bodies made way and lowered their heads as if they were welcoming their owners back.
Wei Huo finally understood that his aura of nirvanic extermination was too strong. These spirits treated him as the owner of the Netherworld.
The golden armor was shocked. “There are really ghosts in this world. It’s unbelievable. So that’s what they look like.”
The ghosts in the Netherworld did not dare move amid Wei Huo’s aura of nirvanic extermination. That was why the golden armor was braver.
Wei Huo strode in. His intuition told him that the fifth level was still related to Qi Cultivation. It was best to figure it out.
