Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 64: The Coffin Breaking Through the Earth
"The ancestral tomb?"
"Exploded?"
Xu Yang’s jaw dropped in shock.
Even with his unshakeable composure, his mind was buzzing at this moment.
The Kunwu Division’s ancestral tomb exploded?
He snapped his head down to look at the Demon Dragon Saber in his hand.
The saber continued to surge in his palm, with no resistance, yet an indescribable ripple was spreading out from it.
Could it be excitement?
Xu Yang furrowed his brows deeply.
What the hell is going on?
Swish, swish, swish!!
Figures streaked through the manor like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of people appeared nearby, all staring dumbfounded at the commotion in the dense woods.
"What happened?"
"Dammit, that’s the ancestral tomb!"
"The ancestral tomb exploded??"
"Don’t let anyone get close!" Wuo Longyue roared, face ugly.
Even if there was no accident, the ancestral tomb erupting without reason was never a good sign!
He instinctively glanced at Xu Yang and the other two.
"Shouldn’t have anything to do with him, right?"
Truth be told, Wuo Longyue wasn’t entirely certain.
Suddenly, when he saw the Demon Dragon Saber in Xu Yang’s hand, his pupils contracted and his mind went blank for several seconds.
"That—that’s the Demon Dragon Saber?"
Wuo Longyue’s eye twitched madly.
To be honest, although the treasures Xu Yang had seen in the treasury were no doubt impressive, that’s all they were.
The true artifacts representing the heritage of the Kunwu Division were all hidden away.
But among them, even among the real treasures, the Demon Dragon Saber was top-tier.
It’s just, no one could wield it, so it was practically useless!
Xu Yang had mastered it?
Boom!
The woods trembled.
A towering phantom suddenly tore through the sky.
"Chief—Chief, look there!" a clan elder screeched in terror, as if he’d seen a ghost.
Wuo Longyue instinctively twisted around, instantly frozen in shock!
At that moment, it wasn’t just him; everyone present looked as if they’d seen a ghost.
Because—it was a coffin!
There was even earth still clinging to its surface.
It strode boldly through the air towards them.
Even in broad daylight, everyone broke out in cold sweat, hearts pounding!
Nothing so bizarre had ever happened before.
And in that section of the forest, only the elders of each generation were qualified to be buried there.
Inside this coffin was at least an elder—maybe even a chief of a previous era!
"This is Chief Wulong Saber’s coffin."
Wuo Longyue recognized the coffin’s owner.
A former chief, Wulong Saber, who in life was even stronger than he was!
"Wait—the coffin seems headed straight for Xu Yang." Wuo Longyue’s face twisted again and he gasped sharply.
"Demon Dragon Saber!"
"No one move!"
Wuo Longyue barked, signaling everyone not to act.
At that moment, every clan elder stared wide-eyed at the Demon Dragon Saber in Xu Yang’s hand—then at the coffin.
"That guy actually mastered the Demon Dragon Saber? How is that even possible?"
"Did Chief Wulong leave something inside the Demon Dragon Saber back then?"
"But that can’t be right—none of the previous wielders ever triggered anything like this!"
All were shocked and confused, unable to figure it out!
But for now, it was best to watch and see.
Xu Yang, confronted first and foremost, after his initial bewilderment, listened to the speculation and gradually understood.
The person in the coffin was the creator of the Demon Dragon Saber!
But was this a blessing or a curse?
At his side, Wuo Huai and the guardian elder immediately withdrew a safe distance, faces full of dread.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Xu. Perhaps Chief Wulong left behind some legacy within the Demon Dragon Saber, which requires special conditions to awaken."
"When you controlled the Demon Dragon Saber, did you notice anything unusual?" Wuo Longyue called out loudly, curiosity burning in his eyes.
Just what had Xu Yang done?
Hearing this, Xu Yang pondered.
He knew perfectly well that his mastery of the Demon Dragon Saber was different from the others before him.
The nine Heaven-Locking Divine Chains—sealed inside the Demon Dragon Saber—the most terrifying dragon soul, the source of the saber’s power!
Suppressing it...
Was this the reason?
"Chief, none of the previous wielders ever caused something like this?" Xu Yang asked.
"Never!" Wuo Longyue shook his head.
Not getting an answer from Xu Yang, a shadow flashed through Wuo Longyue’s gaze, but he quickly returned to normal!
Now was not the time for conflict with Xu Yang; having him focus on alchemy was key!
To achieve great things, one must bend and endure, never mind trifles!
This was nothing compared to that!
Boom!
The coffin finally stopped an arm’s length before Xu Yang.
An invisible ripple spread out.
Xu Yang’s face drained of color—he felt immense pressure.
Just a coffin!
The person inside had died years ago, yet still retained such presence—unbelievable!
Xu Yang’s hair stood on end; he forced himself to stay calm, but to say he wasn’t scared would be a lie!
If Wuo Longyue were suddenly faced with this, even he’d panic!
Xu Yang watched the coffin warily, feeling the Demon Dragon Saber in his hand trembling so violently it nearly slipped away.
Bang!
The coffin lid split open suddenly.
A shriveled skeleton, devoid of flesh, stepped out.
The skeleton was wreathed in thick evil qi, making it impossible to see its features.
But as soon as it emerged, the entire area seemed sealed off, frozen by the terrifying evil qi!
Even Wuo Longyue and the others went pale, hearts pounding with dread!
Facing the skeleton, Xu Yang began to tremble uncontrollably.
The skeleton before him seemed like an endless abyss!
The skeleton took step after step toward Xu Yang.
Snap!
Xu Yang grunted, the skin between his thumb and forefinger splitting as blood dripped down.
The Demon Dragon Saber tore itself from his grasp and hovered before the skeleton.
Before Xu Yang could react, he saw the furious evil qi twining around the skeleton pouring into the Demon Dragon Saber.
"..."
Xu Yang’s eyes bulged in disbelief.
The Demon Dragon Saber was terrifying enough on its own, and now more power?
Its master’s own accumulated evil qi surged in...
If the seal was broken all at once, with his current control over the Heaven-locking Seal, he might not be able to subdue the dragon soul at all!
Damn!
Xu Yang’s face darkened, yet he was helpless.
Bang!
Bang!
Sharp shattering sounds blasted through the sky.
The Demon Dragon Saber shrieked as seal after seal on it shattered in succession.
Evil qi soared, magic might overwhelmed the world.
The skies above the manor thickened with ominous clouds, chilling every heart!
"Damn it."
Wuo Longyue’s face changed, grinding his teeth: "Everyone, prepare yourselves! As soon as Chief Wulong leaves, strike to reseal the Demon Dragon Saber!"
"Yes!"
All the clan elders answered, faces grave, as if facing a dire enemy.
Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief at that.
With so many experts, even if the Demon Dragon Saber grew stronger, they could seal and suppress it again!
Several breaths later.
The skeleton’s evil qi was exhausted.
The Demon Dragon Saber’s markings reawakened; a spectral dragon shadow rose, circled the skeleton once, then let out a mournful cry before returning to the blade.
Xu Yang’s heart jolted, eyes wide in disbelief at what he was seeing.
The dragon soul was mourning for its first master?
What did this mean?
It meant the dragon soul possessed consciousness and feeling; that between the Wulong Saber and the dragon soul, it wasn’t about absolute domination, but a master-servant bond.
In other words, the Wulong Saber was so strong it didn’t fear the dragon soul’s erosion, and hadn’t erased its consciousness completely!
Years of companionship, as if partners!
He had conquered both the dragon soul and the Demon Dragon Saber!
Thinking this, Xu Yang couldn’t help but swallow nervously, gazing at the skeleton with awe and admiration!
Swish!
The Demon Dragon Saber suddenly flew back into Xu Yang’s hand.
The skeleton vanished instantly.
Xu Yang felt his entire body tighten; the space around him surged with waves of evil qi, smothering him like an ocean—leaving him gasping for breath!
He watched as the skeleton tapped a finger to his brow, his mind crystal clear, yet he felt all control over his body slipping away!
Boom!
An intense pain struck, and a flood of vast information poured violently into him.
