Chapter 457
Chapter 457
In the Martial Desolate Land, powerful beasts were only on the level of that dragon and heavenly lion. At the very most, they could be considered Martial Emperors.
As for the beasts guarding the tomb, they were probably only at the level of the Ghost King, so Wu Mingxu found them easy to deal with.
Of course, the beasts that were placed here to guard the tomb were not so easy to deal with. Even if he was killed, it would be hard to deal with.
For example, after death, giant poisonous crocodiles would release even more powerful poison.
Qin Yun and company carefully followed behind Wu Mingxu. They were all keeping their distance from Wu Mingxu and this was also what Wu Mingxu had requested.
Wu Mingxu was strong and he could handle any sudden situation. Therefore, with him at the front, the journey would be a safe one.
Mu Feng said, “It’s a good thing that Senior Wu is here. Otherwise, even if we knew how to get to the main tomb chamber, we wouldn’t be able to get there safely! There are too many dangers lurking in the shadows!”
Shui Tianzi laughed, “It seems that the group of martial kings have underestimated this immortal tomb. I don’t think that many of them will be able to return home!”
“Fatty Mu, a Martial King came from your Inscription Palace as well. If he died, would it be a great loss to your palace?” Zi Qingcheng asked.
It was also because Wu Mingxu was in front that they didn’t have to worry about this and thus dared to talk casually.
Mu Feng laughed. “That Martial King is not a good person! Even if he dies, the Inscription Palace will only feel heartache for him for a moment at most!”
The Inscription Palace was an ancient power with a long history. Losing a Martial King meant nothing to them.
BOOM!
A loud sound suddenly came from the front. It wasn’t Wu Mingxu attacking but a mass of purplish-gold flames that flew over and exploded!
Fortunately, Wu Mingxu managed to burst that ball of fire in time.
After the flames exploded, it set off a wave of scorching air currents, causing the wide passageway that was damp and cold to suddenly become sultry.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Another massive purplish-gold fireball shot over from afar!
Wu Mingxu shouted, “You guys take care in this area; it is more dangerous because it’s close to the main tomb!”
Qin Yun and company immediately turned vigilant.
Shui Tianzi suddenly shouted, “Look at the stone wall!”
There were purplish-gold flames everywhere and the dark tunnel was also illuminated by the purplish-gold light. Under the purplish-gold light, ghost beasts suddenly appeared one by one on the stone walls!
“What’s going on? How did these ghost beasts come out?” Mu Feng shouted in surprise.
Qin Yun thought of his penetration divine art and felt that there must be some extraordinary power that allowed the sleeping ghost beasts to escape from the stone wall.
These ghost beasts were different than the ones outside. Their bodies were covered in purplish-gold flames!
Thankfully, Qin Yun and company had Ghost Suppression Talismans in their hands, so they were not afraid of these ghost beasts.
Mu Feng took out a knife and rushed forward to chop it down. After he killed a ghost beast, the ghost beast immediately exploded and sent his heavy body flying, crashing into a wall!
“The soul of a ghost beast will self-destruct, be careful!” Qin Yun shouted before looking at Mu Feng with a smile. He asked, “Fatty Mu, are you alright?”
Mu Feng rushed to Qin Yun and company’s side. With a solemn voice, he said, “I’m at the Xuan Martial Realm. It’s fine if I get blown away but you are different. You must be careful!”
Wu Mingxu was also very busy, dealing with the giant fire scorpions that were shooting out the flames.
Those Flame Scorpions all had extremely thick armor that could block Wu Mingxu’s terrifying sword Qi.
Qin Yun and company were surrounded by many ghost beasts.
“Use the Rain Talisman!” After Mu Feng finished talking, he took out a few talismans and threw it out. Then, the talismans brought out heavy rain and sprinkled on the burning ghost beasts.
The Rain Talisman’s effect wasn’t too good.
“Let’s retreat!” Qin Yun shouted, “I’ll use the Xuan Royal Cannon to blast it!”
Mu Feng, Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi immediately unleashed a powerful inner force and forced the Fire Ghost Beasts to retreat, opening up a path for them to retreat.
Following that, Qin Yun threw out a few Ghost Suppression Talismans to stop the ghost beasts and slow them down.
After a distance of more than a thousand meters between them and the ghost beast, Qin Yun took out the Xuan Royal Cannon and shot it at the Ghost beast!
Boom! Boom! Boom!…
The oil contained within the Xuan Royal Cannon was extremely powerful. Even the Fire Ghost Beasts were unable to withstand it and after being hit, their Soul Essences would explode.
The dozen or so flaming Ghost Beasts also detonated in an instant, emitting a series of vibrations. The flames that exploded out brought along powerful shockwaves as they charged toward the two sides of the passageway.
Zi Qingcheng, Shui Tianzi and Mu Feng hurriedly used their strongest energies to form a wall to protect Qin Yun from the shockwave.
More than two hundred of the ghost beasts that had emerged from the stone wall had been destroyed by Qin Yun in a few rounds!
After Wu Mingxu killed that powerful fire scorpion, it would also cause a strong explosion.
The explosions of the scorpions were even more terrifying. The force they generated pushed Qin Yun and company to the starting point.
At this moment, the passageway became extremely stuffy and the black stone walls were scorched red!
Wu Mingxu was hit by the force as he rushed towards Qin Yun and company.
“I finally killed those things!” Wu Mingxu sighed, “I never thought before that there would be so many ghost beasts guarding the tomb!”
“I wonder if there’s more ahead!” Qin Yun thought back to what happened and felt a lingering fear. If Wu Mingxu was not here, they would definitely have been killed by those scorpions.
“It should be gone. Let’s continue!” Wu Mingxu laughed, “After being hit, you’ll have to walk a bit longer!”
If the front was safe, they would be able to move quickly.
This passageway was very long winding. After they left the place where they fought the Flame Ghost Beasts, it once again became cold and gloomy.
After traveling for more than half a day, they had finally reached the end of the passageway!
At the end, there was a red-black door.
Two beast heads were drawn on the large door. The door was also engraved with terrifying runes, making it look as if all sorts of evil spirits were baring their teeth.
“The main tomb is inside!” At this moment, Wu Mingxu’s expression was also solemn and there was a trace of fear on his face, “I suddenly feel that there’s something terrifying inside the main tomb!”
Mu Feng asked, “Then, should we go in or not?”
Wu Mingxu said, “Since everyone is here, let’s go in and take a look!”
The door was over twenty meters tall and was suspended in the air. Wu Mingxu needed to float in order to pull the trigger.
“I can’t open it!” Wu Mingxu was so strong that he couldn’t open the door.
He landed on the ground and said, “Qin Yun, let that fairy try breaking them. This door should have been sealed by runes!”
Qin Yun immediately let out Mo Mo.
After Mo Mo came out, she looked at it
She looked at the door and said, “There is a totem seal!”
Mu Feng and Wu Mingxu were shocked!
“Totem seal?” Qin Yun did not understand but he knew that it was very powerful.
“Then should we still go in?” Mu Feng asked.
“If it can be broken open, of course we have to go in!” Wu Mingxu looked at Mo Mo and asked, “Little Fairy, can you break the totem seal?”
Mo Mo nodded. “Sure but I need some time! I’ll go start now!”
Wu Mingxu said, “The totem seal is the strongest type of seal! It’s usually used to restrain people. What kind of totem is this?”
“Ancient fire totem! But it’s not complete. I can’t see it clearly either!” Mo Mo replied.
Qin Yun said, “Normally, the ones restrained by fire should have ice and wood element!”
Wu Mingxu nodded, “The ghost beasts that we met earlier were all made of fire! And this passage is completely cold, it seems like the immortal corpses sealed inside should be ice type!”
Qin Yun and company were secretly alarmed. With such a large array sealing an immortal corpse, it had to be something extraordinary.
Half an hour later, Mo Mo finally destroyed a small part of the totem rune, causing the entire totem seal to temporarily lose it’s effect.
After Qin Yun placed Mo Mo into his storage space, Wu Mingxu immediately floated over and opened the door!
After the door opened with a crack, a burst of cold air rushed out.
Qin Yun and company hurriedly used their energies to withstand the cold air.
Qin Yun had the bloodline of a Heavenly Lion, which was why he was able to withstand it with his cultivation of a Martial Dao Realm. If any other third level Martial Dao Realm cultivator were here, they would have instantly turned to ice!
Wu Mingxu landed on the ground and looked inside.
The main tomb was incredibly bright, as if it had been carved out from a giant block of ice. The four sides were covered with ice that emitted bright light.
This tomb was circular in shape and was only a few dozen meters wide. It could be considered small.
There was a round black box about two meters wide in the cold circle of the tomb.
“The coffin in the main tomb is really special!” Mu Feng said, “That immortal corpse should be inside!”
Qin Yun said, “Since it’s sealing the person, there shouldn’t be any funeral objects, right?”
Wu Mingxu walked in front and looked at the round box, saying, “There is also a seal on this side! But it’s too cold to let that little fairy out!”
After he finished speaking, he used his life sword to continuously chop at the round box, producing a rumbling sound.
“Senior Wu, can you really open it like this?” Qin Yun asked.
“It shouldn’t be a problem, it’s just a matter of time!” Wu Mingxu madly hacked at the round box.
Qin Yun and company were hiding far away. If the box was destroyed, the immortal corpse inside would definitely be very strong.
“Senior Wu is too kind!” Mu Feng frowned and said in a low voice, “Obviously, that round box is a coffin. The things inside must be very strong!”
After a series of fierce slashes from Wu Mingxu, the lid finally loosened a little. He quickly inserted his sword into the crack and used all his strength to pry it open.
“Because it’s been too long, the power of this seal is very weak!” Wu Mingxu laughed.
As he spoke, the lid flew off.
It really opened!
“Come and take a look at this immortal corpse!” Wu Mingxu shouted in surprise.
Qin Yun and company gathered their courage and rushed over.
