Chapter 2032: Forbidden Formation Bursts, Heavenly Coffin Emerges

~7 min read 1,327 words

He Ping Sheng stopped at the crack of the great formation, staring at the vast little world inside the formation!

In the little world, black corpse fiends kept flying out from that dark abyss, fighting with the countless cultivators who had entered.

Those corpse fiends were also at the Divine Lord realm, just like the cultivators.

But they were all at the peak of the Divine Lord realm.

Moreover, their numbers kept increasing, from dozens to hundreds, then to thousands and tens of thousands.

They were not only ferocious in combat, but also had thick skin and tough flesh.

Someone cursed loudly: "What the hell is this?"

Someone guessed: "These must be the countless cultivators who died trapped in coffins in life, the Heavenly Coffin Daoist?"

"Who knows!"

"Damn it... we don't care about these corpse fiends, let's go look inside the abyss!"

Then someone actually turned into a streak of light and rushed into the abyss.

After a few breaths, a miserable scream came from within the abyss.

Extremely shrill.

After that, no one dared to rashly enter the abyss.

Yu Yingxian said: "Everyone... hurry up and attack, first slaughter all these corpse fiends, then we all go underground to hunt for treasure, this Heavenly Coffin inheritance must be underground!"

The crowd had no choice, so they followed Yu Yingxian's words and first fought the corpse fiends.

Almost all the cultivators outside the great formation entered the formation, only He Ping Sheng himself remained hesitating and observing!

At that moment, He Ping Sheng suddenly saw a black divine light burst forth from within the abyss.

The black divine light filled the abyss's mouth and gushed out, surging wildly in all directions!

Wherever it reached, cultivators were blown flying in all directions.

Even though He Ping Sheng was at the formation's gap, he felt a hint of fear and dread.

This feeling was similar to when the Tai Sui crawled out of the formation earlier.

He Ping Sheng's foot moved slightly, and his body involuntarily retreated several hundred zhang!

The next moment, the golden restriction light membrane before his eyes suddenly burst.

Endless black divine light and black aura surged out in all directions.

Even He Ping Sheng outside the great formation could not dodge.

He wanted to use the Void Swift Movement divine power to escape, but unfortunately his Dao arts seemed to be sealed, preventing him from moving.

Then, He Ping Sheng's body was like a fallen leaf in the waves, tossed about by the surge.

After a few breaths, the black aura that had spewed out seemed to be summoned by something, and was swallowed back into the abyss by a tremendous force.

He Ping Sheng's body was entangled by the aura, wanting to leave but to no avail, he could only be entangled by the aura and black light, inverted and sucked into that black abyss.

Not only He Ping Sheng, but all the cultivators and corpse fiends here were swallowed into that tidal force of exhalation and inhalation.

Boom—rumble—

At the instant everyone was swallowed in, the earth suddenly trembled violently.

A power beyond nature sealed the abyss from its mouth.

Everyone only felt the top of their heads suddenly go dark.

The next moment, beneath the dark abyss, lights lit up layer by layer.

Brightly lit!

He Ping Sheng sucked in several breaths of cold air and looked down, yet saw the tide had vanished, the black aura also gone.

Only a bottomless abyss lay beneath his feet.

The exit above was also blocked by something.

He Ping Sheng's first reaction was not to go down to explore for treasure, but to flee.

Whoosh—

He turned into a streak of light and rushed wildly toward the top.

But he collided with a soft, pliable formation light membrane.

The formation merely trembled slightly, with countless runes flashing.

Many cultivators shared He Ping Sheng's idea, they also flew up and struck the light membrane, but to no avail.

This formation seemed stronger than the previous one.

What to do?

Countless people became agitated.

Someone said: "Everyone... this is clearly a trap!"

"We over ten thousand people can unite to break the formation and escape!"

"Come on!"

"Go go go..."

Many echoed.

But many also held opposing views.

"Since we've come, we must go down and have a look no matter what!"

"Exactly, the opportunity is beneath our feet, to refuse heaven's gift is to invite disaster!"

Then many directly turned into streaks of light and flew downward.

Here divine sense could hardly be used, He Ping Sheng could not see what was below, but he secretly took a divine talisman into his hand.

Seventh-grade divine talisman: Teleportation divine talisman.

Although this thing might be difficult to activate, once danger arises, He Pingsheng feels this is the only thing that can let him escape with his life.

As for now?

Not in a hurry!

I still have things like Severed Arm Survival and Life and Death Dao Tablets on me.

Death is definitely not something that will happen to me.

Just as everyone hesitated, Ancient Guan Changsheng suddenly turned his gaze to Fish Yingxian and asked: "Fish Daoist, what do you say?"

Fish Yingxian coldly snorted: "Not to mention a dead person, even if this Heavenly Coffin Daoist were alive, what could he do to me?"

After saying that, he directly dove headfirst into the brightly lit abyss below!

"Exactly……What do we cultivators have to fear?"

"Go……" Ancient Guan Changsheng also flew down.

Everyone followed suit and flew downward.

He Pingsheng still wasn't in a hurry!

Actually, his mindset was relatively calm; when he first learned this place was the tomb of the Heavenly Coffin Daoist, he didn't even bother researching how to open it—he just flew away directly.

Later, seeing countless people rushing in, he only turned his boat around to come back, thinking nothing more than hitching a ride on their luck to see if he could gain some benefit.

This Heavenly Coffin thing isn't absolutely necessary.

For him, it's optional.

Afterwards, he purely got dragged in.

So now that everyone is rushing down in a crowd, he won't be the first to charge.

Just take a look first, then follow along and hitch a ride—it'll be fine.

After more than ten breaths, seeing that Fish Yingxian and the others had flown into the depths of the abyss without any danger, countless people followed in a swarm.

He Pingsheng followed at the end of the crowd, also slowly flying toward the depths of the abyss.

Here, the range Divine Sense can penetrate is extremely limited; one can only rely on sight.

Looking downward from above, this abyss appears like a hollowed-out cylindrical shape!

On the side walls of the cylindrical shape, at regular intervals, there is a lamp illuminating a section of void!

So at a glance, this abyss actually appears bright.

But although it is bright, because it is truly too deep, one still cannot see what lies at the very bottom.

Whoosh……

He Pingsheng, at the very end of the line, flew downward all the way.

After the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, he stopped in midair.

Because countless people also stopped in midair.

At the exact center of the cylindrical abyss's void, a black coffin hovers.

The coffin is not particularly large—about the same size as those used by ordinary people in the Spirit Realm, less than one zhang in length and only a few chi in width.

Its black exterior is adorned with golden patterns.

It stands upright, hovering there.

The people closest to the coffin are Fish Yingxian, Ancient Guan Changsheng, a woman, and three middle-aged men!

Seeing this scene, He Pingsheng almost certainly concluded that these people had basically all tried already.

But no one had taken the coffin away.

"It can't be taken away, nor can it be opened!" Ancient Guan Changsheng asked: "Everyone, what do you think we should do?"
