Chapter 451: Yin-yang out of order, the seal is broken!
Unfortunately, Donghuang Taiyi did not understand the rules of the Grave Robbers; otherwise, he would definitely have lit a candle in the northeast corner of the tomb chamber. When he approached the coffin, the candle would have gone out, telling him that this coffin was not something that could be touched easily.
It was not strange, after all, the Grave Robbers were a trade that only appeared at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and at the moment, it was still the Qin era.
And even if this trade had existed long ago, Donghuang Taiyi would very likely not have known these rules, as he was not a professional grave robber himself.
The reason he had come to the coffin this time and attempted to open it was merely because since he had come, not figuring out the secret hidden in Yuyuan would truly be a wasted trip.
When Donghuang Taiyi's palm touched the purple coffin, in an instant, the Xun Tree showed a huge reaction. Countless vines came toward Donghuang Taiyi, intending to entangle him and stop his actions.
Donghuang Taiyi sensed all this but felt not the slightest panic.
"Open... for this seat!"
Vigorous energy exploded from his body, instantly breaking the vines of the Xun Tree that were spreading toward him. Afterward, the palm he had placed on the purple coffin felt a unique power emanating from it.
Upon sensing this power, Donghuang Taiyi was slightly dazed.
In a trance, he developed a feeling.
It was as if an extremely powerful force was right before his eyes, waiting for him to open it.
If it were in the past, Donghuang Taiyi would not have cared about such temptation, but now it was different. Having been defeated by Su Xuan twice in a row, and this time seeing Su Xuan ascend Shushan, Donghuang Taiyi's heart had long since developed a deep obsession because of Su Xuan.
With the roots of obsession planted deep, his thirst for power had reached an unprecedented level.
Seeing power before him, not only did he not restrain this temptation, but on the contrary, greed was born.
Once greed was born, his power was also fully operated.
The power of the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital surged out again, instantly rushing toward this purple coffin.
The branches and leaves of the Xun Tree swayed constantly. Vaguely, it seemed as if bursts of mournful cries echoed in the depths of Yuyuan. Unfortunately, Donghuang Taiyi did not pay attention to the warning of the Xun Tree and insisted on opening this purple coffin.
Finally, a small crack appeared on the lid of the purple coffin.
This crack was both due to Donghuang Taiyi's power and the corrosion from the power within the coffin over the years.
Donghuang Taiyi's power was merely the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Even without his power, this seal actually could not have lasted for much longer.
After all, the time it had existed was truly too long.
From ancient times to the present, it had been a full two thousand years.
Even though the one who laid the seal had thought it out well, leaving the Xun Tree in Yuyuan and the Fusang Divine Tree above Yuyuan, using the Fusang Divine Tree to draw in the yang-rigid power between heaven and earth, and using the Xun Tree growing in the darkness to absorb the yin-death power, achieving a situation of yin-yang mutual aid, they could use the two powers of yin and yang to completely eliminate the demonic qi sealed in Yuyuan.
But she had ultimately neglected one thing: the changes in heaven and earth.
The current era was no longer the era of that time.
It seemed that because of that great battle in the ancient era, the vital energy of this heaven and earth had been completely dissipated.
The vital energy of heaven and earth was decreasing. If, in the ancient era, there were still traces of immortals and gods, and legendary divine beasts roaming, then in the contemporary era, it had completely degenerated into a martial arts world.
To put it bluntly, it had entered the Age of Dharma Decline!
In this era, even if the Fusang Divine Tree and the Xun Tree still existed, the power they could gather was unknown how much weaker compared to two thousand years ago.
The seal in Yuyuan had long since reached the moment of teetering on the brink of collapse.
If not for this, just by Donghuang Taiyi, a Heaven-Man, it would have been impossible to shake the seal in Yuyuan in any way.
Even if he had studied the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and realized a portion of power from it!
Accompanying the appearance of a crack on the coffin lid, a red-black airflow instantly surged out from the crack and headed toward Donghuang Taiyi, wrapping around his body.
Donghuang Taiyi realized that this red-black airflow was highly problematic and subconsciously condensed a protective qi shield to resist its erosion. Unfortunately, his protective qi shield was so vulnerable when facing this power.
The protective qi shield shattered instantly, and then, the red-black airflow swallowed his body.
A shrill scream came from Donghuang Taiyi's mouth. In the depths of Yuyuan, the darkness grew even more intense. Through the darkness, one could vaguely see countless wronged souls roaring and wailing.
Several Yuyuan Guards, after recovering their power, rushed toward Yuyuan at the first opportunity.
They arrived at the platform at the entrance of Yuyuan and arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Just as they arrived at the cave entrance, their expressions changed simultaneously.
"The barrier has been broken; that person has stepped into Yuyuan!"
"Should we go in?"
Someone asked.
Yuyuan was the forbidden land of the Shushan tribe and must not be lost.
The person who spoke earlier was quite senior among the Yuyuan Guards and was the existence second only to the Great Elder in the Shushan Shilan tribe. He pondered slightly and soon had an answer.
"We go in!"
"No matter what, Yuyuan must not be lost!"
And so, several Yuyuan Guards stepped into Yuyuan one after another. This cave was very deep, but they had not been here for the first time, and soon, they arrived at the end of the cave, all the way to the side of the abyss, where they stopped.
"How can this be? Why is that person gone? Could it be that he has already stepped into Yuyuan?"
Several people looked at each other, then looked at the abyss ahead, but ultimately did not have the courage to go further; on the contrary, fear arose in their eyes.
"Forget it, we will wait here. If he really entered Yuyuan, he will come out sooner or later!"
Several Yuyuan Guards made up their minds and waited here quietly.
They had great tacit understanding and never approached the abyss.
Time passed slowly.
Just after they had waited for a while, suddenly, a power that made their souls throb and feel fear rose from the bottom of Yuyuan.
"What is this power?"
Their expressions changed drastically, and then, they saw crimson light rising from the pitch-black Yuyuan. As the crimson light dissipated, a slender figure with a pale face appeared in their eyes.
At the same time, at the peak of Shushan, the Fusang Divine Tree swayed again, as if warning!
