Chapter 629: The Slumbering Emperor Coffin, Wherever the Coffin Shall Pass, There Shall Be Nothing but Death

Chu Kuangren had defeated the Wang clan's Great Emperor apparition with just a single punch!

His terrifying power shocked every cultivator of the Wang clan!

Even the Wang Clan Matriarch was sent flying by the shockwaves from that terrifying attack. Her peacock mount hurriedly flapped its wings and fled in fear.

"The Wang clan's Ancestral Land Foundation, are you going to hand it to me, or shall I go and take it by force?!"

Chu Kuangren glared at the Wang Clan Matriarch and said.

"Chu Kuangren, you've gone too far!"

"I've heard the same thing countless times over. Now, my patience is running out. If you won't give it to me, I shall plunge the Wang clan into chaos!"

"You..."

The Wang Clan Matriarch was red with anger as her chest heaved.

In the end, she had no choice but to yield.

Since their strongest trump card, the Wang clan's Great Emperor apparition, had been blown up by their enemy, what else could they possibly do?!

Not long after, the Wang clan's Ancestral Land crumbled as their Foundation was taken!

Meanwhile, news of Chu Kuangren blowing up the Wang clan's Great Emperor apparition with a single punch had spread far and wide. Stunned, everyone started to take a guess at how unbelievably powerful he had become.

Soon after, the Bai clan, the Archaic Bull Demon Tribe, Nine-Headed Snakelet Tribe...

One by one, those archaic ancient orthodoxies were visited by Chu Kuangren and had their Ancestral Land Foundations taken away. Despite some attempts to go against Chu Kuangren during the acquisition process, none of them had succeeded. As of now, Chu Kuangren was unstoppable!

About half a month later.

Chu Kuangren had taken away all the Ancestral Land Foundations from the archaic ancient orthodoxies that had attacked him at the Seven Emotions Sect.

When gathered, these Ancestral Land Foundations were an incredibly terrifying resource. After all, any one of them was valuable enough to cause a ton of bloodshed.

However, these treasures were now placed before Chu Kuangren.

"Thousand Swords Essence, Sword Emperor's skeletal remains, Heavenly Golden dragon qi, Leyline Essence, Dark Shadow Crystal, Yin Yang Granule... Looks like these items shall take me a long time to refine and absorb." Chu Kuangren smiled at the pile of treasure with satisfaction.

Soon, he found a place. After placing numerous seals and restrictions around it to make sure that even a Sovereign would not be able to break through, he started his closed-door meditation.

...

While Chu Kuangren was in his closed-door meditation.

The world was still in chaos.

Inside the ancient Forbidden Barren Wasteland's Core Area, a land of black soil that had an unsettling aura around it began to tremble.

A surge of incredibly strange and creepy energy gradually spread outward before countless hands burst out from the land of black soil, one by one.

As these ancient beings crawled out from the ground, their terrifying aura erupted, and almost all of Emperor Road shook.

"We're... alive!"

A middle-aged man in broken armor let out a long roar, his violent and tyrannical aura instantly surging through the skies, causing the clouds to disperse.

He was not the only one.

Within the black soil, powerful beings from either the past ancient or archaic ancient times awakened from their slumber. Their immense might spread far throughout the whole Emperor Road.

All of the orthodoxies and forces within the Emperor Road had sensed it.

For a moment, all of the great ones looked towards the Core Area of the Forbidden Barren Wasteland with a surprised gaze.

"Something is happening in the Forbidden Wasteland. It has this weird and unsettling atmosphere as well. What the h*ll is going on?! Has something appeared within the Forbidden Wasteland?"

"The Forbidden Barren Wasteland's Core Area has always been a place of death for countless years. None of the people who entered it have come out alive. What's happening now?"

"Hold on a second. What is that?!"

Just when the many great ones were shocked, they saw a black ray of light soaring into the sky from the Forbidden Barren Wasteland's Core Area.

Soon, the creepy and unsettling atmosphere grew stronger.

Along with that, the countless seals and restrictions surrounding the Core Area shattered.

When the black light dissipated, everyone was greeted by... a gigantic bronze coffin with countless mysterious patterns engraved on it!

The gigantic coffin hovered in the air, emanating surges of treacherous qi. Once the spiritual thoughts of the great ones came into contact with it, all of them screamed in pain as their spiritual thoughts were shattered by a powerful surge of dreadful aura.

"I-it's the rumored Slumbering Emperor Coffin!!"

One of the great ones who possessed impeccable knowledge was shocked to recognize that gigantic coffin that had risen from the ground in the Forbidden Barren Wasteland.

No one knew where the Slumbering Emperor Coffin came from as there were only a few records of it in the ancient records.

Even for the Sovereigns, who had lived for thousands of years, the Slumbering Emperor Coffin was still an item of rumors. This was the first time they saw it.

While everyone was still stunned by the Slumbering Emperor Coffin's appearance, the Slumbering Emperor Coffin began to move.

The Slumbering Emperor Coffin trembled lightly, and a dark green light lit up across the countless strange patterns engraved on its surface. Following that, several black chains stretched out from the coffin, one by one, in all directions.

Upon seeing those black chains, the powerful ancient beings that had crawled out from the black soil had a drastic change in expression. All of them felt a terrifying fear and immediately tried to escape from it.

However, their surroundings were encased by an invisible energy field that came from the Slumbering Emperor Coffin. Even the powerful ancient beings could not escape from it.

One by one, the black chains caught up to them. It wrapped and formed a collar around their neck, causing them to let out a miserable cry.

The terrifying and dreadful scene of the hundreds of powerful ancient beings screaming and wailing horrified the Sovereigns in the Emperor Road.

After a while, the screams from the powerful ancient beings gradually stopped as they all stood up from the ground. However, their gazes had become hollow.

These powerful ancient beings started pulling the chains that were trapping them, dragging the copper Slumbering Emperor Coffin towards the outside of the Forbidden Barren Wasteland.

"This is bad!!"

Upon recalling something, one of the Sovereigns became horrified.

The hundreds of powerful ancient beings dragged the Slumbering Emperor Coffin to a city, where the hundred-strong powerful beings attacked all at once. As such, an immeasurable burst of violent energy erupted and wiped out the whole city like a storm!!

Every living being within that city was killed in an instant!

Those dead living beings were eventually turned into countless blood-colored bundles of energy that surged towards the Slumbering Emperor Coffin, which absorbed it.

A blood-red streak soon appeared on the copper green exterior of the Slumbering Emperor Coffin while the treacherous qi around it grew stronger.

"The Slumbering Emperor Coffin is the source of all calamities. When it appears, this means that something bad is going to follow. A great catastrophe is coming to the Emperor Road!"

"Wherever the coffin passes, there will be nothing but death!!"

One of the Sovereigns said in horror.

Those powerful ancient beings were once people who had ventured into the Forbidden Barren Wasteland's Core Area. However, they were caught in the Slumbering Emperor Coffin's influence and entered an eternal slumber within black soil.

However, these powerful ancient beings were now awakened by the Slumbering Emperor Coffin. They were turned into slaves to drag it anywhere, killing and slaughtering innocents to gather energy for their master.

The appearance of the Slumbering Emperor Coffin and its slaves shocked the whole of Emperor Road like never before. Everyone was deeply horrified by this.

Not only the Emperor Road but even the Emperors in the Nine Heavens had noticed the Slumbering Emperor Coffin's appearance. All of them were feeling uneasy about this too.

"D*mn it. Of all the times that thing could awaken, why does it have to be now? This is going to be very troublesome."

"Wherever the coffin passes, there will be nothing but death. The Emperor Road is doomed."

"We can't allow this to happen. If the Emperor Road falls, there will be no new Emperors in this era. The Heavenly Dao will thus remain incomplete. We've been waiting so many years for a chance to restore the Heavenly Dao. How can we let it slip by like that f? I have no patience waiting until the next era, that's for sure."

"What should we do then? With the incomplete Heavenly Dao, Emperors like us won't be able to enter the Emperor Road and help with stopping this calamity."

"Let's continue to observe the situation."
