Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1151 - 1137: The 100,000-Year-Old Corpse

"Holy shit..."

When Xiao Yi saw the scene before him, he couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath, blurting out an instinctive curse.

Before his eyes...

It was a vast black graveyard.

For a hundred miles around, the landscape was desolate, and suspended mid-air were coffins—countless coffins. Each one sealed within it a corpse.

The number of floating coffins was staggering.

A mere glance suggested no fewer than a million.

Beyond this hundred-mile scope loomed a cliff that extended to the ends of heaven and earth. The entire cliffside was jet black, sheer and steep, as if cut clean with a blade. On its smooth, obsidian-like face...

Numerous pitch-black caves held dignified-looking coffins.

These coffins, compared to the floating ones, appeared far more exalted.

The floating coffins were all an inky black, made of wood.

The coffins embedded in the cliff, however, were crafted from bronze.

The higher the coffins were positioned on the cliff, the larger and more elaborate they became in design. Most striking of all were ten special coffins at the summit, arranged in a pyramidal pattern across four rows.

The fourth row had four coffins.

The third row had three coffins.

The second row had two coffins.

At the topmost level stood a lone coffin occupying the entirety of the first row.

Of these ten coffins, nine below were an argent silver.

And the lone coffin at the pinnacle gleamed resplendently in gold.

It was like the king among coffins.

Solitarily perched at the summit of the cliff.

Arrogantly aloof, untouched by worldly concerns.

Overlooking all creation.

The million hovering coffins below, and the tens of thousands along the cliffside, seemed as if merely subjects groveling beneath its dominion.

Swish, swish, swish!

The Jialuo Prison Master and his group also stepped into the Burial Well, appearing beside Xiao Yi. Seeing the scene before them, they too felt their scalps tingle, their bodies covered in a chilling cold: "What the hell is this place?"

"Have we descended into hell?"

"Why are there so many coffins?"

The glow of greed flickered in Jialuo Prison Master’s Primordial Spirit. His eyes burned with fervent desire, though he dismissed the wooden coffins floating in the distant void.

All his fiery, greedy focus was fixed on the golden coffin at the cliff summit. "The Golden Ancient Coffin... This must be the legendary coffin reserved solely for the Hall Masters of the War Hall!"

War Hall Master?

The group was stunned.

The Jialuo Prison Master gulped hard, and with a low voice stated, "It’s said the Hall of Longevity enforces a strictly hierarchical system. Those who might ascend to the position of Hall Master are all at least Sacred Venerate Realm cultivators. Could it be that within the Golden Coffin lies the body of such a formidable Sacred Venerate Realm expert?"

"And those nine silver coffins below it must house Vice Hall Master-level experts. Supreme Venerate Realm beings, no doubt..."

"Just imagine the treasures buried alongside such powerful beings, resting here for eternity!"

"We’re going to strike it rich... absolutely rich this time..."

Their breathing grew ragged and unsteady.

Zhang Ming instinctively began walking toward one of the coffins. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Xiao Yi’s expression shifted, "Be careful!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Ming was startled, but before he could react, his hand had already touched the coffin. Almost simultaneously, a muffled boom resonated from within, and the coffin suddenly shuddered violently.

Hiss!

Zhang Ming drew back his hand reflexively, gasping sharply. He hurried back to stand among Xiao Yi and the others, his face pale with lingering fear as he glanced at the coffin that had returned to its eerie stillness. Clutching his chest, he muttered, "Thank goodness... thank goodness nothing happened—"

Before he could finish his sentence.

Bang! Another muffled boom erupted from the coffin. The entire coffin shook violently, and soon, the adjacent coffins began to tremble in succession.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang...

The eerie booms echoed outward like a curse, spreading rapidly into the surrounding void, infecting the countless suspended coffins within a hundred-meter radius.

The cacophony of bangs became a relentless wave.

The floating coffins began to shake ceaselessly.

Wisps of black mist began to seep out of the coffins one by one.

The sinister sight was enough to freeze their blood, their faces paling: "What the hell is happening?"

"If my guess is correct, these corpses have been forged into magical warriors. The moment a living being touches the coffin, it triggers their awakening."

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, his face grave. While speaking, his gaze shifted to the cliff summit, locking onto the majestic Golden Ancient Coffin, before continuing, "If it’s just ordinary magical warriors breaking free, that’s one thing. But if the corpses in those silver and golden coffins have also been converted, then we’re in serious trouble..."

Magical warriors.

Corpses reforged through dark arts into humanoid killing machines, designed to relentlessly slaughter the living.

The stronger the body was in life, and the longer it was sealed, the mightier its strength as a magical warrior.

Judging by Jialuo Prison Master’s words, the Golden Ancient Coffin contained the remains of a Sacred Venerate Realm expert. After countless years, such a body reforged into a magical warrior would likely possess combat power even surpassing its prime.

At that moment...

The closest coffin to Xiao Yi’s group exploded with a loud bang, its lid torn clean from its place and hurled high into the air.

One after another, the other coffins began ejecting their lids.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Within a hundred miles, countless suspended coffins flung their lids in unison. The flying black lids carried an unnatural and chilling aura that sent shivers down the spine.

Thud, thud, thud!

Clawed hands, dark and wreathed in black mist, reached out from inside the coffins, gripping their edges.

"This is bad, the magical warriors are coming to life..."

Just as Xiao Yi said this, his body darted through the void toward the cliff crammed with ancient coffins. "Run! Before the magical warriors in the top ten coffins awaken, we must claim them for ourselves!"

The Jialuo Prison Master and the others hurried to follow.

But they were a step too slow.

Even as they moved, magical warriors began emerging from their coffins all around.

Some were missing limbs.

Some were only torsos.

Some lacked heads entirely...

Each magical warrior was grotesque and bloodthirsty, charging madly toward Zhang Ming and the others in unending waves.

Bang!

Boom!

Desperate, the group unleashed ferocious attacks on the magical warriors.

But even when cleaved in two, the warriors retained their deadly combat capabilities. The sheer increasing number of undead made Zhang Ming’s hair stand on end. "They won’t die, no matter what!"

"Breaking their bodies doesn’t work..."

"What can we do?"

As panic set in...

Around Xiao Yi, sword light surged and swept outward, carving a path. Wherever the light went, not only were magical warriors destroyed, their coffins also shattered explosively.

With each coffin’s destruction, the associated magical warrior fell lifelessly to the ground.

Xiao Yi shouted, "Destroy the coffins!"

The group paused, then redirected their attacks toward the coffins.

As Xiao Yi predicted, destroying the coffins rendered the magical warriors inert.

Xiao Yi had no time to manage the team. He raced up the cliff at top speed, watching those cliffside coffins beginning to tremble. His face darkened.

Summoning all his strength, he dashed straight for the summit.

Along the way...

The ancient coffins appeared to sense his intent to target the ten special coffins above. Their awakening accelerated.

Finally, as Xiao Yi reached the summit and prepared to take the Golden Coffin...

Bang! A deafening crash resounded.

The Golden Coffin violently burst open. From within, a frigid corpse abruptly sat upright. Its aura was suffocatingly cold. Xiao Yi’s eyes widened, and he sucked in a sharp breath: "A ten-thousand-year corpse reforged as a magical warrior?!"
