Chapter 573: Space (1/2)
The Formation Orb flew out of Lu Yun’s hand while his luopan morphed into an embryonic minor world. There was already a dragon vein here that he could tap into for purposes of adjusting the environment. He’d be able to create the layouts necessary without further manipulation of the vein.
Lu Yun was most familiar with the Enneawyrm Coffinbearers layout as it’d once appeared on Earth. Meanwhile, the Nine-Phoenix Casket and Enneaqilin Coffinbiers were layouts he’d only ever heard of, but never seen with his own eyes.
That was no matter, as all three of those coffins now sat in hell; he could simply create the layouts by tracing their physical manifestations.
……
As soon as Lu Yun’s consciousness entered hell to scrutinize the Enneaqilin Coffinbiers and the Nine-Phoenix Casket, the Enneawyrm Coffinbearers released a beam of black light that enveloped the other two coffins.
Rumble!
A tremor tore through the air, heralding the opening of the Gates of the Abyss amidst a terrifying, thundering din. The three giant coffins flew ponderously out of hell, interrupting Lu Yun’s Dragonsearch Invocation.
“What… what the heck?!” Lu Yun had long noticed that the Enneawyrm Coffinbearers, Nine-Phoenix Casket, and Enneaqilin Coffinbiers could open the Gates of the Abyss at will. Moreover, the Enneawyrm Coffinbearers would charge out from hell to help him whenever he encountered great danger.
The other two coffins had remained quietly in their places up to now, so Lu Yun was highly taken aback to see them all spring to action.
“Just who are the three coffins housing?” He paused and flashed back to guard Jing Dichen, Beicang Qiong, and the Deaf Prince.
At the same time, Yueshen and her bloodcorpses returned to hell. The three coffins seemed to recognize only Lu Yun, so anyone else might be caught in the crossfire if they stuck around.
“If my guess is correct, the Ninefooted Turtle Cist should be in the celestial master tomb as well… Is it in this great treasure?” Lu Yun couldn’t help but speculate.
Bam!
The air trembled violently when the three great coffins landed heavily on the ground. Anguished screams rent the air as countless crystal mountains disintegrated.
“No!” Lu Yun screamed. The mountain trapping Bai Qi, Feng Ruyu, and Lin Yan had collapsed as well under the terrifying power of the three coffins.
Hum.
Before he could do anything, the faint golden light shrouding Lin Yan exploded with the radiance of the sun, deterring the sweeping might of the coffins. Lu Yun gaped in shock, narrowing his eyes against the dazzling glare.
The Tribulation Surrogate Pill!
Such was the pill’s power, and it was the first time Lu Yun had witnessed it since refining it! He knew very well just how powerful the coffins were, yet the pill had completely offset their power!
Bam!!
A great explosion blasted through the air as Lin Yan, Bai Qi, and Feng Ruyu’s bodies rushed toward Lu Yun in a long streak of gold. Lu Yun quickly activated the branch of the Path of Ingress in his body to welcome them. They’d all lost consciousness.
