The golden light was so intense that Elder Longbrow felt his eyes might go blind. He couldn’t make out what it was at all. Turning, he saw Ye Qiu’s expression was extremely grave.
“Little monster, what is that golden light?” Elder Longbrow asked.
Ye Qiu’s voice was low. “A coffin. A golden coffin!”
Elder Longbrow was stunned. “A golden coffin?”
Lin Da Niao overheard them and found it unbelievable. “No way… the supreme opportunity is a golden coffin?”
Mo Tianji, curious, asked, “Big Brother, what kind of coffin is it?”
Ye Qiu answered, “Sacred beyond words, supreme and majestic… It defies description. You’ll understand when you see it.”
BOOM!
Suddenly, a heaven-shattering explosion rang out from the thick black mist.
The golden light shot skyward, shaking heaven and earth.
The black mist instantly dispersed. In the next moment, a golden coffin hovered in the void.
“This coffin is no ordinary object,” Mo Tianji said gravely.
“Ordinary coffins give off a sinister aura, but this one radiates vast majesty, like an unrivalled sovereign.”
“I feel the same,” Ye Qiu said.
At that moment, Ye Qiu no longer saw a mere coffin. He saw a supreme ruler high above, like the Emperor of Heaven commanding billions of lives, brimming with boundless authority.
“Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, that golden coffin is the supreme opportunity?” Elder Longbrow asked.
The little white fox nodded. “Correct. That coffin is the supreme opportunity.”
“Fantastic!” Elder Longbrow laughed loudly. “I never imagined the supreme opportunity would appear so easily!”
“Little monster, it’s right in front of you. You’re not tempted?”
“Your face may be calm, but your heart is moved. I can tell.”
“Let me tell you, desire is less than action. Hurry and seize it!”
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes. “Why don’t you go get it?”
“What, you really don’t want it?” Elder Longbrow grinned. “If you don’t, this poor Daoist won’t stand on ceremony!”
In truth, Elder Longbrow had been itching to act for a while but feared Ye Qiu would compete with him. Seeing Ye Qiu apparently uninterested, he was overjoyed.
Whoosh!
Elder Longbrow shot into the sky toward the golden coffin, shouting excitedly, “Supreme opportunity, here I come…!”
BOOM!
A terrifying pressure erupted like a tsunami, sweeping across heaven and earth, making souls tremble.
Elder Longbrow, at the forefront, had his body instantly shattered. Only his primordial spirit fled in panic.
“Little monster, save me—!”
He was scared out of his wits.
Ye Qiu used One Step, One Hundred Li, grabbed the primordial spirit, and retreated to safety.
At that moment, the horrifying pressure spread in all directions like a flood.
The little white fox quickly hid behind Ye Qiu, its emerald eyes filled with terror.
Thud… thud…
The disciples of Green Cloud Sword Sect collapsed to their knees, unable to even lift their heads under the pressure.
Even Ye Qiu felt his body was about to crumble. His current physique was incredibly tough; ordinary pressure should not affect him like this.
He immediately circulated the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Art. Golden light blazed around him, but the pressure still left him gasping, feeling his body might explode at any moment.
At the critical moment—
Hum!
The War God Armor, since its activation, had runes leaping across its surface. Only then did Ye Qiu’s breathing ease slightly.
Yet even with the War God Armor protecting him, his body was racked with pain, as if an unrivalled divine blade were endlessly slicing his flesh.
His primordial spirit ached unbearably.
“Retreat! We can’t withstand this pressure!” Ye Qiu shouted.
“Little girl of Green Cloud Sword Sect, quickly use the sacred sword!” the little white fox urgently reminded.
Yun Xi immediately summoned the Seven-Colored Blazing Sun Sword.
Clang!
A sword cry shook the heavens.
The Seven-Colored Blazing Sun Sword soared out, transforming into a colossal blade that draped sword qi over everyone present.
Yet no one expected that not only did the sword fail to block the pressure, it seemed to provoke the golden coffin. An even greater pressure descended.
Clang!
The golden coffin vibrated lightly. A single strand of golden light shot out and, at an inconceivable speed, struck the Seven-Colored Blazing Sun Sword.
Crack!
The sacred sword shattered into dust on the spot.
“Pfft—”
Everyone protected beneath it spat blood and was sent flying a thousand meters.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
They crashed to the ground, too injured to move, staring in horror at the golden coffin in the void.
“What on earth is that coffin?”
“How can it be so terrifying?”
“Just a wisp of golden light destroyed a sacred sword. It’s too dreadful!”
“…”
Yun Xi’s face was ashen.
She had never imagined that the sacred sword passed down through generations of Green Cloud Sword Sect masters would be destroyed so easily.
“The Seven-Colored Blazing Sun Sword was our sect’s sacred artifact. A single strand of light destroyed it. That golden coffin is very likely a divine artifact.”
“We cannot withstand it.”
“Retreat at once.”
As the group prepared to flee, the little white fox’s voice rang out behind Ye Qiu.
“Ye Changsheng, didn’t you come for the supreme opportunity? It is right before you. Are you willing to leave just like this?”
This…
Ye Qiu hesitated.
He had long seen that the golden coffin was extraordinary, but the pressure it released was too terrifying.
Even the peerless sacred sword had been obliterated. They were mere mortals. Staying would likely meant being crushed to death by the pressure.
“I sacrificed a drop of essence blood to reveal this opportunity for you. You’re not going to let it go to waste, are you?”
The little white fox continued, “The supreme opportunity has appeared, which means its fated one has arrived.”
“Ye Changsheng, have no fear.”
“It is powerful, but it will not take lives.”
“Go boldly and seize the supreme opportunity!”
There was a strange, rousing magic in the fox’s voice. Everyone who heard it felt their blood boil, an irrepressible urge rising within them to claim the golden coffin.
Especially the disciples of Green Cloud Sword Sect, mostly at the Golden Core realm. After hearing those words, their eyes burned with fervor as they stared at the coffin.
“The supreme opportunity is within reach! What are you all waiting for?” the little white fox urged again.
Finally, the Green Cloud Sword Sect disciples, unable to hold back, rushed toward the golden coffin in a frenzy.
