Chapter 6: The First Offspring

"Seeking death!"

As the words fell, a surge of rage rose in the eyes of the wild boar cavalry, and they let out dull, low growls.

A mere southerner actually dared to poke at their sore spot to their faces.

Even after the mutation, this remained the greatest shame of the Corpse-Dissection Royal Court!

Click, click, click!

The coffin lid continued to open, and a terrifying aura spread out, completely igniting the panic of the wild boar cavalry; the severed-limb hooves subconsciously retreated.

"This guy must be a mystic who sacrificed his life to exchange for power. We absolutely cannot let the thing inside come out, otherwise we will all die!"

One of the wild boar cavalry roared, rousing the morale of its companions. At the same time, its six severed-limb hooves slammed into the ground, shattering the bluestone floor beneath it, and its figure blasted out like a cannonball, striking first!

However, the target was not this mysterious coffin, but Jiang Yan.

To capture the bandits, first capture the leader!

Although it did not know how a mere mortal could summon such a bizarre ability, the price must be high. As long as it killed him, the problem would be solved.

"Om, zhabeiruozha, niyehalinisa... Vajra Varahi, bless my body!"

It held a seal in its left hand and chanted obscure scriptures in its mouth. Its already massive body expanded by another third; the original fat was stretched, turning into coiled, knotted muscles.

The filthy grease adhering to the surface of its skin solidified, and a faint, foul golden light emerged. A continuous stream of power surged within its body, so it swung its great blade with its right hand, whipping up a gale as it slashed toward Jiang Yan's head.

The wild boar cavalry’s gaze was cruel. It had killed mystics before, and they all shared a common trait: although their techniques were bizarre, their physical bodies were extremely fragile. As long as one got close, they were just a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Go to hell!"

Accompanied by a roar, two more wild boar cavalry charged in from the left and right, also using the Vajra Varahi blessing to form a strangulation battle formation. Their momentum was vast, like a rolling war chariot, crushing every living thing that stood in their way.

The remaining six wild boar cavalry leaped up suddenly, preparing to pin down the coffin lid in the air so that the thing inside could not escape.

Coordination... suppression... decapitation...

They displayed the elite cavalry strength that the Great Qing dynasty should have had at the peak of the cold-weapon era.

After all, the Great Qing had relied on the Eight Banners cavalry to seize the empire from the Great Ming.

However, the moment the six wild boar cavalry approached the coffin and prepared to form their seals, they saw a pair of crimson eyes emerge on the side of the coffin, with mysterious blood-colored runes swirling deep within the pupils.

"Those who see the Coffin Master... shall get rich!"

As the words fell, an invisible wave of fear washed out like a tidal wave, instantly impacting the six wild boar cavalry.

At this moment, they saw an endless graveyard spreading toward them, the fear of death shrouding their hearts, causing a momentary lapse in focus.

"Not good, it's an illusion!"

Fortunately, they were rich in combat experience; they steadied their minds in just a single breath and retreated rapidly, attempting to put some distance between them, but...

It was too late!

Whoosh!

The coffin lid was thrown at them before they knew it, exploding instantly and turning into dense bone spikes that whistled through the air. At the same time, the blood inside the coffin gathered, turning into a large amount of blood threads that swept over them.

"Damn it!"

Because the six wild boar cavalry had their attention on the inside of the coffin, and coupled with the momentary lapse in focus, they had no time to form their seals. They could only rely on their powerful combat instincts to raise the great blades in their hands to block some of the bone spikes.

But the number of bone spikes was simply too great, the explosion distance was too close, and they were intentionally aimed at vital areas not protected by armor, such as their eyes and necks, directly stabbing them blind.

In extreme pain, they could not concentrate, and were soon pierced through the heart and head by the blood-colored threads that followed, losing their life force.

There was nothing in the coffin; the truly dangerous thing was the coffin itself!

After finishing all this, the Blood Crystal Coffin shouted:

"Master, mission accomplished!"

"Very good!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yan unclenched his fist, and the heavy stone in his heart fell.

It was secure!

Since his spiritual essence could be chosen by the River of History, and his blood could awaken the Great Rat Guards, then after accepting the dust of history and awakening his talent, he himself should also belong to the category of transcendent material.

Therefore, he used a portion of his own flesh, bone, wisdom teeth, appendix, and other useless organs, without harming his life, and almost hollowed out half of himself to gestate his first offspring.

[Spirit of the Burial Coffin]

[Grade: Transcendent Initial Stage]

[Quality: Excellent (Common, Excellent, Perfect, Epic, Legendary, Mythical)]

[Description: Gestated by the Master of the Demon God Embryo through the sacrifice of flesh, bone, etc., it contains a strong desire for survival and slaughter, finally condensing into the form of a coffin to bury every enemy that threatens its life.]

[Skills: Blood Coffin Curse Threads (Can manipulate its own blood to change form for attacks, possessing extremely high destructive power; contact can corrode flesh.)

Eye of the Coffin Spirit (As a carrier of death, it naturally has a deterrent effect on living beings. Making eye contact with it will trigger a mental check; the stronger the will, the less the impact. The effect is doubled on resurrected creatures.)

Bone Spikes (Can condense bone spikes to attack, unleashing powerful lethality. Requires re-condensation after consumption; devouring bones can shorten the condensation time.)

Seeing the Coffin Brings Wealth (Can bury killed lives in the coffin to digest their life essence, improving the quality of the coffin. There is a very small probability of gestating special Underworld Treasures.)]

[Success, or become... a dead person!]

In the past, there was Zuo Zongtang marching with a coffin; today, there is Jiang Yan creating a coffin to face a great enemy!

Fortunately, the born offspring did not let Jiang Yan down, possessing four powerful skills at birth, but it was still somewhat difficult to deal with ten elite wild boar cavalry.

Anyone who plays games often knows that once you are surrounded by wild monsters, even if you have become the Elden Lord, you will be besieged to death.

In reality, even a professional boxer, if besieged by ten—no, five or more adult men—could only turn and run.

Therefore, Jiang Yan took the initiative to create a powerful sense of oppression with the Burial Coffin, used himself as bait to make the opponent voluntarily disperse their formation, and at the same time used preconceived notions to create lies, attracting their attention to the inside of the coffin, then seized the opportunity to shock their spirits, successfully trapping and killing six wild boar cavalry with a smooth combo.

"However, it's not over yet..."

Jiang Yan looked at the three wild boar cavalry charging in front of him. The blade edge was close at hand, and he could clearly hear the hissing sound of it cutting through the air; his cheeks stung faintly.

The wild boar cavalry’s gaze was fierce, and the angry great blade moved forward without hesitation, even the Spirit of the Burial Coffin could not support him in time.

Death was close at hand!

Jiang Yan’s expression was calm; he formed a seal with his left hand and chuckled:

"Vajra Varahi, bless my body!"

Hum!

In an instant, golden light emerged on his skin, emitting the sound of clashing metal, blocking the wild boar cavalry’s strike. He borrowed the force to fly backward, sliding several meters on the ground before steadying his figure.

Although the golden light on his body was covered in cracks and could collapse at any time, his physical body was not injured, and he had used this to open up a safe distance.

"How is it possible... how do you know the Vajra Varahi Seal? And you are so proficient..."

The leading wild boar cavalry’s expression was one of disbelief, and it roared repeatedly!

One must know that in order to obtain power, they sacrificed to Vajra Varahi day and night, combined with many secret medicines, burned their own bodies, and through diligent hard work, experienced thousands of hardships, and were tortured by body mutations day and night, only then did they possess their current strength.

But the opponent clearly had no aura of any Buddhist secret medicine, could use the Vajra Varahi Seal at will, and his body had no mutations, so he did not have to bear any price.

This guy...

Could he be a natural-born Buddha child!?

'Buddha Mother, you say all living beings are equal, but why is it so unfair!' The wild boar cavalry’s eyes turned red with jealousy, and the faith in its heart began to waver.

"No need to be surprised."

Jiang Yan kindly comforted it: "Human growth always sprouts in death."

"Of course... it is your death!"
