Chapter 6: The First Offspring

"Seeking death!"

As the words fell, a surge of rage ignited in the eyes of the wild boar cavalry, who let out a low, muffled roar.

Mere southern barbarians dared to strike their sore spot right to their faces.

Even after the transformation, this remained the greatest shame of the Wang Ting of Corpse Release!

Crack-crack-crack!

The coffin lid continued to open, a terrifying aura spreading outward, completely igniting the panic of the wild boar cavalry; their severed limbs and hooves instinctively retreated.

"This fellow must be a Taoist priest who sacrificed his life to exchange for power; we absolutely cannot let whatever is inside come out, or we will all die!"

One of the wild boar cavalry roared, rallying his companions' morale, while at the same time six severed limbs and hooves stomped the ground violently, shattering the bluestone floor beneath them, and their forms shot out like cannonballs, striking first!

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

Catch the ringleader first!

Although it did not know how a mere mortal could summon such bizarre abilities, the cost must have been great; as long as it killed him, the problem would be solved effortlessly.

"Om Mani Padme Hum... Vajra Varahi, bless my body!"

Holding a Finger Seal in its left hand and chanting obscure scriptures, its originally huge body expanded by another third; the original fat was stretched, turning into coiled muscles.

The filthy grease adhering to its skin surface solidified, and a faint, dirty golden light appeared; a continuous flow of power surged within its body, so it swung a large blade with its right hand, whipping up a gale to strike at Jiang Yan's head.

The wild boar cavalry's gaze was cruel; it had also killed Taoist priests before. They shared a common trait: although their arts were bizarre, their physical bodies were extremely fragile; once brought into close combat, they were just a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Die!"

Accompanied by a roar, two more wild boar cavalry charged from the left and right, also using the Vajra Varahi blessing to form a strangulation battle formation; their momentum was vast, like rolling war chariots crushing every living creature standing in their path.

The remaining six wild boar cavalry leaped up suddenly, preparing to pin down the coffin lid in mid-air to prevent whatever was inside from escaping.

Coordination... Suppression... Decapitation...

They displayed the elite cavalry prowess expected of the peak of the cold weapon era of the Qing Dynasty.

After all, the Great Qing had once seized the empire from the Great Ming relying on the Eight Banners cavalry.

However, just as the six wild boar cavalry approached the coffin, ready to form a Finger Seal, they saw a pair of crimson eyes appear on the side of the coffin, with mysterious blood-colored runes swirling deep within the pupils.

"Those who see Grandpa Coffin... will get rich!"

As the words fell, an invisible wave of fear swept away like ocean waves, instantly striking the six wild boar cavalry.

In that moment, they saw endless graveyards surging toward them; the fear of death enveloped their hearts, causing a brief lapse in consciousness.

"Not good, it's an Illusory Realm!"

Fortunately, their combat experience was rich; they stabilized their minds in just one breath and quickly retreated, attempting to create distance, but...

It was too late!

Whoosh!

The coffin lid, unknown when it had been flung open, was thrown toward them, exploding instantly into a dense swarm of bone spikes that whistled through the air; at the same time, fresh blood gathered inside the coffin, transforming into countless blood threads that swept forward.

"Damn it!"

Because the six wild boar cavalry's attention was focused entirely inside the coffin, plus the momentary lapse in consciousness, they had no time to form a Finger Seal; they could only rely on powerful combat instincts, raising their large blades to block some of the bone spikes.

But the number of bone spikes was truly too great, the explosion distance was too close, and they were intentionally aimed at their eyes; they were directly stabbed blind in the eyes, necks, and other vital spots not protected by armor.

Under the excruciating pain, they could not concentrate, and were quickly pierced through the heart and head by the blood threads that followed closely behind, losing their breath of life.

There was actually nothing inside the coffin; the true danger was the coffin itself!

After doing all this, the Blood Crystal Coffin shouted loudly:

"Master, mission accomplished!"

"Excellent!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yan unclenched his tightly closed fists, and the heavy stone in his heart fell away.

It's stable!

Since his spiritual essence could be chosen by the River of History, and his blood could even awaken the Rat Guards, then after accepting the Dust of History and awakening his talent, he himself should also belong to the category of Extraordinary Materials.

Therefore, using part of his own flesh and blood, part of his bones, wisdom teeth, appendix, and other useless organs, without harming his life, he almost emptied half of himself to nurture his first offspring.

【Spirit of the Burial Coffin】

【Level: Early Extraordinary】

【Quality: Excellent (Common, Excellent, Perfect, Epic, Legendary, Mythic)】

【Description: Nurtured by the Master of the Demon God Embryo through the sacrifice of flesh, bones, etc., containing a strong desire for survival and slaughter, finally condensing into the form of a coffin to bury all enemies threatening its life.】

【Skill: Blood Coffin Curse Threads (Can manipulate its own blood to change form for attack, possessing extremely high destructive power; upon contact, it can corrode flesh and blood.)】

【Coffin Spirit Eyes: As a carrier of death, it naturally exerts a terrifying effect on living beings; making eye contact triggers a mental judgment; the stronger the will, the weaker the effect; the effect is doubled against creatures resurrected from the dead.】

【Bone Spikes (Can condense bone spikes for attack, unleashing powerful lethality; after consumption, they must be re-condensed; devouring bone can shorten the condensation time.)】

【See Coffin, Get Rich (Can bury killed lives inside the coffin, digesting their life essence to improve the coffin's quality; there is a very small probability of nurturing special Nether Treasures.)】

【If not successful, then become... a dead person!】

In the past, Zuo Zongtang went to war carrying a coffin; today, Jiang Yan creates a coffin to welcome great enemies!

Fortunately, the born offspring did not disappoint Jiang Yan's expectations; it possessed four powerful skills from birth, but dealing with ten elite wild boar cavalry was still somewhat difficult.

Anyone who often plays games knows that once trapped in a mob of wild monsters, even if you have become the Elden King, you will be besieged to death.

In reality, even a professional boxer surrounded by ten, oh no, more than five adult strong men, could only turn and run.

So Jiang Yan struck first, creating a powerful sense of oppression from the Burial Coffin, using himself as bait to make the enemy voluntarily disperse their formation, while simultaneously using preconception to fabricate a lie, attracting their attention to the inside of the coffin, then taking the opportunity to shock their spirits, smoothly killing six wild boar cavalry with a smooth combo.

"However, it is not over yet..."

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

The wild boar cavalry's gaze was fierce; wielding their angry large blades, they pressed forward relentlessly; even the Spirit of the Burial Coffin could not arrive in time to support.

Death was right at the doorstep!

Jiang Yan's expression was calm; with his left hand forming a Finger Seal, he smiled lightly and said:

"Vajra Varahi, bless my body!"

Hum!

In an instant, golden light surfaced on his body, emitting the sound of clashing metal, blocking the wild boar cavalry's slashing strikes. His body used the force to fly backward, sliding several meters on the ground before stabilizing his stance.

Although the golden light covering his body was cracked everywhere and might collapse at any moment, his true body remained unharmed, and he had thereby created a safe distance.

"How is this possible... how do you know the Vajra Varahi Finger Seal? And you can use it so skillfully..."

The leader of the wild boar cavalry, his expression filled with disbelief, roared repeatedly!

They had to sacrifice to Vajra Varahi day and night to gain power, combining numerous secret pills, burning their own bodies, and through diligent and arduous cultivation, enduring thousands of hardships, suffering from bodily mutations day and night, only to possess their current strength.

Yet this opponent clearly had no aura of Buddhist secret pills, could use the Vajra Varahi Finger Seal at will, showed no bodily mutations, and bore no cost whatsoever.

This fellow...

Could he be a natural-born Buddha's child!?

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

"No need to be surprised."

Jiang Yan comforted him kindly: "Human growth always sprouts from death."

"Of course... your death!"
