236: Live too long, your life will end
“Hmm?”
Xie Weilou sensed the ominous power overflowing from the coffin, and his gaze sharpened. Without the slightest hesitation, he clutched the metal token and rushed towards the hall's entrance.
Buzz!
The metal token, pulled by some force, suddenly vibrated and flew out of his hand towards the coffin. The entire hall was immediately sealed by a mysterious power.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The shattered chains instantly floated up and shot towards him, their broken gleam like cold blades, carrying powerful destructive force.
“...”
Xie Weilou’s body blurred into afterimages as he rapidly dodged. The chain fragments struck within the hall, emitting sounds of explosions.
Boom!
The coffin vibrated, and its lid slammed towards him, moving faster and with more terrifying pressure. The immense power sealed off his surroundings, making it difficult for him to dodge.
Seeing no escape, Xie Weilou’s eyes turned cold, and he punched the coffin lid.
Bang!
The coffin lid exploded, and the powerful force sent Xie Weilou staggering back over ten meters.
Xie Weilou flipped, stabilized his body, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his face somewhat pale. He wiped the blood from his lips, his expression grim as he stared at the coffin on the altar.
The thing inside the coffin was finally about to emerge. He looked at the metal token; it was now flying towards the coffin. Without this token, he feared he wouldn’t be able to leave the Xu Tian Hall.
“So many years have passed, and finally someone has come to the Xu Tian Hall. My efforts haven’t been in vain.”
From within the coffin, a hoarse voice sounded, and then an old man, full of deathly aura, crawled out of the coffin.
He was like a dried corpse, as thin as firewood, with decaying marks on his body. His eyes were incredibly deep, flickering with a ghostly light that caused an inexplicable sense of dread.
And the aura emanating from him was terrifying, similar to the aura from Ye Gucheng and others; he was definitely a Divine Court Realm existence.
“Divine Court Realm…”
Xie Weilou stared at the old man, a guess forming in his mind.
How powerful was the Void Heaven Sword Arena? There must have been many Divine Court Realm experts.
Although this old man in front of him was strong, he shouldn't be the key factor that caused the Void Heaven Sword Arena to abandon its sect!
There must be another terrifying entity hidden within this Void Heaven Sword Arena.
The old man casually reached out, and the metal token was clasped in his hand. He said indifferently, “Back then, I used all my strength to send out this Void Heaven Token, hoping that a fated person would come here. After long years, I have finally waited for the fated one!”
He then looked at Xie Weilou, scrutinized him, and nodded slightly, saying, “Mastering the power of the Demon Race and being able to refine the Taixu Spirit Fire, you are indeed extraordinary.”
Xie Weilou took a step back, cupped his fists, and bowed, “Junior Fan Wujiu greets Senior. May I know Senior’s esteemed name?”
“Fan Wujiu? What a peculiar name!”
The old man stared at Xie Weilou, then sat on the coffin and said calmly, “This old man is the Grand Elder of the Void Heaven Sword Arena, Grand Elder Xie Yuan.”
“Greetings, Senior Grand Elder Xie Yuan.”
Xie Weilou retreated another step.
Grand Elder Xie Yuan saw his reaction and sneered, “Boy, you don’t need to be so wary of this old man. Everything in this Xu Tian Hall is under this old man’s control. If I wanted to kill you, it would only take a thought. Since you could come here, you are fated with my Void Heaven Sword Arena. A millennium has passed, and the people of the Void Heaven Sword Arena have already withdrawn from this place, but some inheritances remain. This old man’s lifespan is short, and I cannot bear to see the inheritance severed, so I can bestow upon you a great fortune.”
“Lifespan is short?”
Upon hearing this, Xie Weilou became even more cautious, ready to summon the ten thousand souls banner at any moment, though his face showed no unusual expression.
“May I ask, Senior, why did the Void Heaven Sword Arena abandon its sect?”
Xie Weilou inquired.
Grand Elder Xie Yuan said in a deep voice, “Because of a great fiend!”
“A great fiend?”
Xie Weilou stared at Grand Elder Xie Yuan.
Grand Elder Xie Yuan said with a complex expression, “This matter is my fault. Back then, I brought back a strange stone, but I never expected there to be a great fiend inside. When the great fiend emerged, countless people of the Void Heaven Sword Arena were annihilated. In the end, we joined forces to seal that great fiend, but alas, with the great fiend here, the Void Heaven Sword Arena had no choice but to withdraw. As for this old man, having committed a grave mistake, I can only remain here to atone.”
“So that’s how it is!”
Xie Weilou showed a look of understanding after listening.
Grand Elder Xie Yuan sighed, “This old man has lived too long, and my lifespan is nearing its end. Fortunately, that great fiend has been worn down by time. Come closer, boy, and this old man will bestow upon you the supreme inheritance of the Void Heaven Sword Arena.”
“Alright…”
Xie Weilou lowered his head and walked towards Grand Elder Xie Yuan.
As Grand Elder Xie Yuan watched Xie Weilou approach, a faint ghostly light flickered deep within his eyes.
Boom!
The moment Xie Weilou neared Grand Elder Xie Yuan, he unleashed the Heaven Mending Art, and his cultivation instantly surged. He summoned the ten thousand souls banner and directly suppressed the opponent.
Clang!
At the same time, the burial flower sword appeared in his hand. The Taixu Spirit Fire covered the burial flower sword, and the longsword was unsheathed, black light flickering, as it suddenly slashed towards Grand Elder Xie Yuan.
This sudden turn of events caused Grand Elder Xie Yuan’s face to sink. He flipped over, landing behind the coffin, then kicked it out, sending the coffin instantly slamming towards Xie Weilou.
Boom!
Xie Weilou slashed with his sword, splitting the coffin in half, and the ten thousand souls banner’s pressure fully erupted, directly suppressing Grand Elder Xie Yuan.
Grand Elder Xie Yuan formed a hand seal, and a gray light emerged, forming a seal array to resist the ten thousand souls banner’s pressure. Then, he struck Xie Weilou with a palm, and a terrifying gray palm print surged forth.
Xie Weilou quickly summoned a jade talisman to block.
Boom!
The jade talisman exploded, and Xie Weilou, along with his sword, was sent staggering back over ten meters.
“Boy, this old man kindly offers you a great fortune, what is the meaning of this?”
Grand Elder Xie Yuan glared at Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou sneered, “To hell with your kindness! You old geezer, since you sealed yourself here, why would you go all out to send out this so-called Void Heaven Token? I think you were sealed here by someone, and sending out the Void Heaven Token was just hoping someone would come to release you.”
Grand Elder Xie Yuan’s eyes turned cold, “Boy, how dare you betray this old man’s kindness! You truly don’t know what’s good for you! With this old man’s Divine Court Realm cultivation, killing you is as simple as crushing an ant.”
Xie Weilou said indifferently, “Old geezer, stop bragging. If you were truly that powerful, you would have made a move just now. Why bother with so much nonsense? I think you don’t have full confidence, do you? An old fellow with little lifespan left, trying to seize a body and cultivate anew, right?”
As he said this, he suddenly threw six attack jade talismans. The talismans flew towards Grand Elder Xie Yuan and immediately exploded, unleashing terrifying Restriction power. They were all rank six offensive Restriction, their power not to be underestimated.
This old fellow is not in good shape and probably can’t exert his full strength, but a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, so he should still not be underestimated. It seems it will take some effort.
“You…”
Grand Elder Xie Yuan’s face became incredibly grim, and he immediately dodged.
This boy is so cunning, even more cunning than this old man who has lived for a thousand years, truly like a thousand-year-old fox.
“Shattering Void Finger!”
Xie Weilou’s eyes were cold as he unleashed a finger strike. The finger print erupted, covered in demonic energy, filling the entire hall, causing the hall to vibrate and become even more terrifying…
