Chapter 6: Continue Forward

Only then did more than ten black evil beasts suddenly appear behind this female classmate; the black evil beasts were no more than ten centimeters long, about as thick as a finger, covered entirely in black scales, resembling crocodiles, with hideous faces, charging toward the crowd.

"Kill!"

The blade light appeared again, divine light surged within the Broken Precept Blade, and another golden blade light instantly precisely slayed the Divine Crocodile.

"Those without Buddhist Treasures, hurry into the Giant Coffin; those with Buddhist Treasures, step forward." Seeing the crowd momentarily at a loss, Jiang Xuan also let out a breath of relief, quickly organizing them.

At this moment, everyone was at their wits' end; as long as someone took the lead to arrange things, the others would consciously follow the arrangements, especially since the person giving the orders was Jiang Xuan.

Those who found Buddhist Treasures quickly turned around, forming a wall to guard the ground against the approaching Divine Crocodiles, while the classmates who had not found Buddhist Treasures hurriedly ran toward the Giant Coffin, full of panic.

"Buddhist Treasures can be activated automatically; everyone just strike at the demon beasts with the Buddhist Treasures in your hands." Jiang Xuan took the lead in exhaling a breath, a fire light rushed out from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, directly pressing toward the Divine Crocodile swarm, instantly dozens of Divine Crocodiles were burned to ashes.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo saw this and followed suit; Ye Fan picked up the Bowl and shone it toward the Divine Crocodiles, the Bowl emitted golden lights one after another, Divine Crocodiles kept dying, while the Great Thunderclap Temple Plaque in Pang Bo's hand emitted dazzling light on its own, the copper plaque trembled, Buddha Sound shook the heavens, emitting a rumbling sound, the Divine Crocodiles were struck by electric radiance and turned to charcoal.

The other classmates instantly understood, one after another brandishing their Magic Treasures toward the Divine Crocodiles ahead, divine light enveloping, divine light dazzling; for a while, everyone was like Gods descending, not a single Divine Crocodile broke through the defense line.

Jiang Xuan and the others continued to act; at this time, the Buddhist Treasures still contained immense power, a sweep of divine light turned a large area of Divine Crocodiles into Blood Mist; many classmates possessing Buddhist Treasures were no longer panicked, forming a solid defense line, ensuring no casualties among all the classmates.

"Roar!"

Just as everyone continued to block the Divine Crocodiles, a shocking roar came from the Ancient Temple in the distance, echoing across the sky, as if an Ancient Ferocious Beast was about to break its seal.

With this huge roar, there was no other sound between Tian Di, only that rolling surging roar, soul-shaking.

The Crocodile Ancestor was about to break free.

We must speed up.

Jiang Xuan's left hand Eight Trigrams Furnace emitted divine light rushing straight at the Divine Crocodiles, and immediately he slashed out a blade light; seeing which classmate showed signs of fatigue, he would support them with the Broken Precept Blade, ensuring the defense line did not break.

With Jiang Xuan's help, many classmates were very relaxed, even able to chat with classmates beside them while slaying demon beasts.

"This time we really owe it to Jiang Xuan; otherwise many of our classmates would surely have died."

"Yes, if not for Jiang Xuan, we wouldn't even know how to use Buddhist Treasures."

More and more Divine Crocodiles charged from the distance, but they still never broke through the defense line.

Boom!

A sky-shaking and earth-rending vibration sounded; everyone felt the Dadi beneath their feet was about to shatter. A terrifying pressure that shook Tian Di came from the distance, reaching up to Tianqiong and down to Jiuyou, surging through Tian Di and the universe.

As if Tian collapsed and Dadi sank.

Two terrifying eyes like lanterns, crossing through the dark space, appeared in the ruins of the Ancient Temple; the terrifying Mu Guang chose people to devour.

The Great Leiyin Temple erupted like a volcano; chaotic rocks pierced the sky, giant stones as big as mountains split into pieces and fell from high places, the momentum like shocking waves crashing against the shore.

The Crocodile Ancestor has broken the seal!

At this moment, everyone's expression changed.

Merely the aura almost made people unable to breathe.

"Jiang Xuan, what do we do?" Many classmates looked at Jiang Xuan; surely, seeing that they were about to open a new chapter in life, before it even began, they would fall here.

"Keep killing the little demon beasts, fast! We'll be able to break free soon." Jiang Xuan roared loudly, the blade light of the Broken Precept Blade becoming even denser.

Seeing this, the others stopped talking nonsense and waved their Buddhist Treasures with even greater effort.

For a while, more Divine Crocodiles died; the Five-Colored Altar in the distance gradually emitted a hazy radiance.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew Jiang Xuan's words were not empty; they fought the demon beasts with all their might without reservation, wanting to activate the Five-Colored Altar before that Great Demon arrived in the distance.

As if sensing the altar was about to activate, the Divine Crocodile swarm also launched a charge as if risking their lives; more and more Divine Crocodiles turned into blood water, their Essence Qi Spirit absorbed by the altar; the hazy radiance gradually became clear, starlight shining, the Taiji Diagram rotating, and the Star Road passage appeared.

"Boom!"

Just at this time, the lantern-like eyes at the Ancient Temple ruins rose; the Crocodile Ancestor broke the seal and stood atop the ruins; a mountain-like pitch-black hand covered the sky and blocked the sun; in an instant, it broke through a thousand zhang of Void and grabbed toward the altar.

Everyone's thoughts stopped.

This was a very terrifying scene, but that pitch-black hand ultimately did not fall; it was pushed aside by a mysterious force.

Above the altar, the Taiji Diagram emitted shining symbols; nine huge Long Corpses suddenly trembled; an incomparably terrifying Dragon Qi intimidated all directions; the Divine Crocodiles retreated like a tide.

"Return to the Copper Coffin!" Jiang Xuan roared; the Eight Trigrams Furnace was stored into the Treasure Mirror; he held the Broken Precept Blade in one hand.

Everyone knew at this time that the opportunity must not be lost; the Star Gate had already opened; they quickly entered the Bronze Giant Coffin.

The Taiji Eight Trigrams Diagram slowly rotated; the Bronze Giant Coffin was about to set sail.

In the darkness, the Crocodile Ancestor's blood-red Mu Guang became even colder; suddenly, the blood-red Mu Guang sprayed out two rays of light, crossing to seal the Taiji Eight Trigrams Diagram rotating in the sky; the Crocodile Ancestor seemed not to give up; the boundless large hand once again grabbed the Bronze Giant Coffin.

"Clang!"

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats; this peerless demon beast had boundless magic power, only the Buddha Ancestor could suppress it; if the Bronze Giant Coffin could not protect everyone, this journey would end in failure midway.

The imagined boundless collision did not appear; instead, a brilliant Blood Light flowed between the Crocodile Ancestor's palm and fingers, absorbed by the altar, as if his palm and fingers were injured by the Giant Coffin.

Everyone was delighted, but the Bronze Giant Coffin remained motionless.

In the distance, a bone-chilling cold laugh was heard; the Crocodile Ancestor slowly walked over.

"What do we do? Why isn't the Giant Coffin activating?"

"How can we leave?"

"Look, the Buddhist Treasures in our hands are continuously losing their divine radiance!" a classmate exclaimed.

At this moment, the Buddhist Treasures in everyone's hands suddenly shone brightly; the divine radiance contained within flowed out bit by bit, finally gathering together and flowing toward the altar; the Taiji Diagram rotated at extreme speed, emitting black and white divine light.

"Bang".

The lid of the Bronze Giant Coffin closed; instantly it vanished into the Star Road.

Everyone let out a breath of relief; their tense nerves immediately relaxed; they panted heavily.

Jiang Xuan also relaxed slightly; with a thought, he focused his spirit on the Eight Trigrams Furnace within the Treasure Mirror of Hongmeng in his Sea of Consciousness; the divine radiance was still there; it seemed the Giant Coffin could not absorb the power of the Eight Trigrams Furnace through the Treasure Mirror.

When returning to the coffin, he casually put the Eight Trigrams Furnace into the Treasure Mirror; unexpectedly, this casual act brought unexpected benefits.

This time, many of the Divine Crocodiles they slew had their Essence Qi Spirit all absorbed by the altar; there was enough power to support the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin to continue forward, allowing his Eight Trigrams Furnace to retain its power; even if not for the Crocodile Ancestor's large hand blocking at the end, all the Buddhist Treasures might have retained their divine radiance.

He knew that this Eight Trigrams Furnace would be his reliance in the North Dipper Star Domain for a short time.

Thinking this way, his mind and spirit gradually relaxed.

The Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin continued forward.
