5: The coffin lid cannot be opened
Jiang Qingchen roared, leapt up, and smashed his fist into the terrifying giant palm.
Rumble...
Two terrifying energies collided with a thunderous crash.
In an instant, the energy storm generated by the impact swept across the entire Gods and Demons Cemetery, layer upon layer of space constantly collapsing and annihilating, and the world grew dim.
The immortal beings deep within were trembling with fear at this terrifying power, the powerful pressure rendering them immobile!
Even the powerful existences on the Xuan Yun Continent watched this scene with shock, unable to calm down for a long time.
Although the sky-covering giant palm was terrifying, Jiang Qingchen's fist was even more so.
He pushed with all his might, and with a cracking sound, the giant palm began to show cracks, then it disintegrated with a boom, turning into a sky full of shimmering light that dissipated between heaven and earth.
"Hoo..."
Jiang Qingchen landed steadily, exhaling a heavy breath, and the muscles on his Physical Body gradually receded.
He stared upwards, his brows tightly furrowed; the moment the giant palm disappeared, he seemed to sense an even more terrifying aura flash across from beyond the ancient star river.
With a thought, he unleashed terrifying leaping power, and with a boom, his figure instantly vanished from its original spot, leaving behind a giant pit hundreds of meters deep, and the entire Gods and Demons Cemetery trembled incessantly.
At this moment, he appeared in the starry galaxy hundreds of millions of miles away, constantly shattering the Void Realm, his figure leaping through the star river, preventing himself from falling down.
He saw a terrifying scene: above the galaxy, countless chains seemed to hang down from the starry sky, connecting to the surroundings of the Xuan Yun Continent, forming a giant birdcage.
These massive chains were covered with dense runes, seemingly suppressing some kind of aura from entering the Xuan Yun Continent.
The mysterious runic patterns on the chains were almost identical to the aura on the blood coffin in the Gods and Demons Cemetery, except these runes were more intricate and numerous.
"It seems there's a huge secret on this Xuan Yun Continent."
He stepped on the star river, his figure instantly appearing at the end of the top chain, he pulled hard, directly tearing open one end of the chain, creating an opening.
At this moment, he turned his head to look into the depths of the star river, and a familiar aura reappeared.
"Hmph, I finally found you!"
He snorted coldly, instantly arriving in the depths of the star river, and saw a strange figure fleeing.
That person also seemed to sense Jiang Qingchen's aura and immediately fled frantically.
Unfortunately, Jiang Qingchen wouldn't give him a chance, directly killing the opponent with a single punch, and black, demonic blood splattered across the star river.
After dealing with the owner of the giant palm, he looked at the chains above the star river, wondering whether to dismantle them all.
System Maid stopped him.
"Host, if you don't want the Xuan Yun Continent to turn to ashes, then don't touch those chains for now."
"Why?" Jiang Qingchen asked, puzzled.
But System Maid did not reply to him at this moment.
He took a deep look at the torn chain location, vaguely sensing that there seemed to be some extremely terrifying auras outside; these chains seemed to be locking down the Xuan Yun Continent, and even more so, resisting those auras.
Perhaps, that was the reason System Maid stopped him.
After a moment of thought.
His figure flickered a few times, and he returned to the Gods and Demons Cemetery again.
He turned his head to look around and was immediately startled.
"Holy crap, was the power that terrifying!"
"It's like it was hit by a nuclear bomb!"
This hundred-mile radius had all been leveled, and even the blood lake was gone.
"Eh?"
When his gaze shifted behind him, his eyes narrowed.
Evil, too evil.
Such a terrifying energy impact, yet that blood-colored coffin was completely unharmed!
At this moment, the blood-colored coffin still emitted a strange aura and a faint red light, making one's heart pound.
He felt as if there was a terrifying existence in that coffin, staring at him!
Gulp.
Jiang Qingchen felt a chill down his spine, his throat couldn't help but move, swallowing, this was all a natural human reaction.
He thought about it and decided to open it and see what was inside; if it was some evil thing, he would just destroy it incidentally!
He placed his hand on the coffin lid, preparing to push it open.
But he found that.
The coffin lid was very tight, not moving an inch.
"Oh, I don't believe it, a dead object, and I can't do anything to you!"
He didn't believe in this evil, and immediately used all his strength, wanting to lift the coffin lid!
But the result proved that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it.
Even the ground was shaken into a deep pit!
In response, Jiang Qingchen gave it a firm middle finger of disdain.
"Tsk, being tightly sealed makes you impressive, huh?"
"Absorbing such vast blood-fiend Qi for nourishment, it's either a great evil or a great malevolence; I can't let you stay."
"Since I can't open it, then I'll smash you to pieces, lest you harm more people!"
Rumble!!
Rumble!!
Jiang Qingchen laboriously punched the blood-colored coffin again and again.
Finally, he found that.
Even if space collapsed and the earth cracked, he couldn't cause any damage to the coffin.
Even when he finally used the Profound Yellow Tower to smash it, it had no effect.
What the hell is this thing!
He was furious, panting, and collapsed onto the ground.
"System Maid, you better come out, I want a refund, a refund!"
What about the invincible Physical Body you promised?
Now he can't even deal with a small coffin.
Are you fooling ghosts?
This...
The System was also dumbfounded.
Damn it.
How could something beyond a Dao Artifact appear here!
It also wanted to curse.
Which scumbag put this thing on the Xuan Yun Continent? Isn't this beyond the scope!
It suspected that a major change must have occurred during the two hundred years it was out having fun?
But now it could only brace itself and stabilize Jiang Qingchen first.
"Host, this thing has a mysterious origin, it's not a product of this world, and it's protected by some great Dao, so it's normal that you can't break it!"
"But don't worry, apart from this thing, your Physical Body is still invincibly awesome in this world, so there's no need to panic at all!"
According to the Host's Physical Body strength, it is absolutely invincible in this world, there is no doubt about that.
"What did you say? It's not from this world?"
Jiang Qingchen was immediately startled.
The System replied with certainty.
"Yes, Host."
So that's how it is!
Jiang Qingchen suddenly understood, then fell into thought.
He thought of the strange figure he had just killed and the terrifying aura outside the starry sky; perhaps they were people from another world?
"System Maid, does that mean there are many powerful figures in the outside world?"
The System said.
"Indeed, but don't worry, they can't come down, and even if they did, they wouldn't be enough for you to fight!"
Not worried?
Pfft!
Is that what I'm worried about? I'm worried about them destroying this world.
Jiang Qingchen didn't think that way.
Every world has its own rules, which most people must abide by.
But when a person's cultivation reaches a certain Realm, they can ignore the rules.
Web novels he had read in his previous life were full of such types.
Extremists would directly destroy a world, or even a Universe, with a single sword strike!
So, roughly speaking...
If this world is destroyed, what will he play with?
Can't be reckless, can't be reckless.
Jiang Qingchen shook his head like a rattle-drum.
Although the System guaranteed it with certainty, what if bad luck struck and he encountered one of those big shots who disregarded rules, acted without martial ethics, and suddenly launched a sneak attack, destroying this world...
No, no.
Absolutely not!
I need to be low-key, stay calm, and not be reckless.
Even if I don't stay at home, I must never act easily when I go out in the future!
At the very least, I need to investigate the situation clearly before acting.
Hmph hmph.
At the peak of Immortals, only the Dao of Cowardice reigns supreme!
Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the blood-colored coffin again, then he chuckled.
Although he couldn't destroy this coffin for now, carrying it away was no problem!
No sooner said than done!
He rolled up his sleeves and directly hoisted the blood-colored coffin onto his shoulder.
"Let's go, System Maid, let's go do something big!"
System Maid: "What do you want to do???"
...
Another few days passed in a flash.
Jiang Qingchen searched for Han Qianfan's whereabouts in the Gods and Demons Cemetery.
However, he didn't gain much; instead, there were a few strange places deep within the Gods and Demons Cemetery that he could never clearly see.
Those places were too bizarre; entering rashly might alarm those formidable existences, and then the Xuan Yun Continent would still be in danger.
At this moment.
Carrying the blood-colored coffin, he planned to leave the Gods and Demons Cemetery first, then figure out a way to find his Revered Master.
Just as he reached the outer perimeter, he found that the area outside the Gods and Demons Cemetery was completely surrounded.
"What's going on? Are these people crazy, surrounding this place for what!"
"They really have nothing better to do after eating!"
He was very frustrated, unable to understand what was wrong with these people.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he retreated and turned to walk in another direction.
Although the Gods and Demons Cemetery only had one entrance and exit, other areas were powerful Restrictions and could not be Transmigrated.
But for Jiang Qingchen, it was as easy as drinking water.
He directly punched through a Restriction and left the Gods and Demons Cemetery gracefully.
After coming out, he didn't immediately return to Immortal Seeking Sect.
Instead, he rode a fairy crane, traversed several more large domains, and spent ten days arriving at another forbidden zone on the Xuan Yun Continent — the Nether Sea!
He stood by the Nether Sea, forcefully threw the blood-colored coffin into the depths of the Nether Sea, and then left contentedly!
Hehe.
This way, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?
Perfect!
