Chapter 869
All they saw was that Yu Changhao’s face had disappeared . No, more accurately, it was hidden by a brick .
This metallic brick was perfectly inlaid on his face . It was right in the middle .
This brick was something Long Chen had obtained in an underground tomb in the Jiuli secret realm . It was made of an extremely hard metal . The majority of them had been given to Guo Ran, but he had kept a few for himself .
When he had dodged Yu Changhao’s attack, he hadn’t even thought about it . He had just randomly thrown it at him, using it as a concealed weapon . As a result, this scene appeared, leaving everyone dumbfounded .
“Leng Yueyan could cut your face to the bone, while I can crush your face to your bone . But I didn’t expect your face to be even bigger than a brick . No wonder you dare to spout such big words,” said Long Chen coldly, standing with his hands clasped behind his back .
With great difficulty, Yu Changhao pulled the brick out of his face . It revealed his square-shaped face .
“Long Chen, if I don’t kill you today, then I won’t be Yu Changhao!”
Everyone was startled . This Yu Changhao was too powerful . Even though his face had been completely deformed, he still let out a heaven-shaking roar . Golden lines appeared on his body, and a terrifying pressure erupted . His wings spread and then slashed toward Long Chen .
Yu Changhao had truly gone berserk . He was using one of his core divine abilities . With his Golden Wing Blood Falcon’s bloodline, this attack’s power was horrifying .
Long Chen’s heart shook . Seeing the runes circulating on his wings, Long Chen didn’t dare to receive it head-on . He hastily shifted to the side .
A terrifying golden light shot by his body . An ear-piercing sound rang out in the air as if the void was being pierced .
BOOM!
That light pierced straight through a wall . The wall was instantly blown to bits, and a rumbling sound continued . It was unknown just how far this attack was going .
BUZZ!
Just as everyone was horrified by Yu Changhao’s attack, space began to shake . Countless runes began to appear, causing everyone to jump and raise their defenses .
Those runes released terrifying spatial fluctuations . The world seemed to instantly become heavy as a great pressure descended on them .
“Heavens, they touched the mechanism! The formation is about to be released!” People let out startled cries as they saw the light barrier over the hill begin to dim .
It grew dimmer and dimmer, and in the end, it exploded like glass . A wild aura surged over them .
“The treasures have appeared!” Everyone hastily charged into the small hill .
Now that the treasures had appeared, Long Chen and Yu Changhao no longer had any desire to fight . They also charged toward that hill . Long Chen also noticed that once that light barrier had disappeared, the formation preventing magical arts had also disappeared .
“Long Chen, let’s split up,” said Yue Xiaoqian . She was already impatient to find her target .
Leng Yueyan had told her the general location of what she needed . She directly rushed off .
Long Chen nodded . This was also good . If they were together, it would make them appear too conspicuous . If they found a true treasure, it was all too easy for others to get jealous and bring trouble for them . Not revealing wealth was the way of the king .
Long Chen cursed Leng Yueyan inside . Before leaving, she had only told Yue Xiaoqian something, but not him . Truly unjust . Long Chen trusted that Leng Yueyan’s Voidpiercing Eyes had seen through many secrets, but she refused to share them with him .
Once Long Chen rushed over to the hill, he suddenly found that the hill also seemed to be rushing toward him . It was growing bigger and bigger .
Originally, it was just a hill ten meters tall . But only now when they were flying toward it did everyone realize that it was a huge mountain with a diameter measured in the tens of thousands of miles .
Primal chaos lingered around the mountain . An ancient and desolate aura filled the air, giving it an extremely ancient feel . Large mounds covered the entire mountain .
At this time, the cultivators to move first had already reached the mountain . One expert had just arrived in front of one of the mounds and reached toward the coffin .
The coffins had also grown with the mountain, but they still looked like ordinary coffins . They hadn’t changed a great deal .
That person had only just touched the coffin when countless runes on the coffin lit up, releasing a multicolored light . That person didn’t even get a chance to make a sound before he was blown into a blood mist .
“What?! There are more protective formations here?” Seeing that scene, everyone was horrified . They hastily summoned their Cries of the Heavenly Daos, forming layers of protection before they approached the coffins again .
One coffin was pushed open by a Corrupt expert . A soft light surged out, causing everyone to look over . But it was empty inside .
“It’s empty? Someone definitely came before us and took the treasure . ” These coffins were all nourishing treasures . If the treasures inside them were taken away, according to reason, new ones would be put in . But once the Immemorial Path had been shattered, there had been no one to look after them . So it was very likely there were empty ones .
Thinking of that, suddenly, quite a few people rushed toward the coffin that had killed someone .
“Scram! This coffin is mine! I’ll kill whoever comes over!” Suddenly, a large man from the ancient races appeared . He waved his spear imposingly .
He was an innate rank three Celestial . Everyone came to a halt . There was a high chance that a treasure resided inside this coffin . But in front of an innate rank three Celestial from the ancient races, they didn’t dare to continue . They could only try to test their luck elsewhere .
Seeing that no one dared to approach, the ancient race expert slowly touched the coffin . The coffin immediately spat out a multicolored light at him .
He shouted icily, erupting with all his power, blocking the light . He pushed against the coffin’s lid .
Everyone’s expressions changed . That coffin’s lid was heavier than a mountain . It only budged bit by bit . Furthermore, it moved according to a set frequency, only slowly revealing the slightest opening after several breaths .
A desolate aura immediately erupted from that slightest opening, changing the ancient race expert’s expression . The space around him was pressing in on him, seeming to want to crush him .
“OPEN!” he roared, resisting that force . He brought out his full power, trying to see what was inside .
But no matter how he tried, that lid only moved according to a set slow speed . It took over ten breaths before a half-a-foot crack appeared .
“It’s a set of armor!”
From that crack, they finally saw the treasure . That armor should be an extremely powerful Treasure item from the runes and the aura of primal chaos that circulated around it .
Everyone’s eyes immediately turned red . These were Treasure items! And after going through the nourishing of these coffins, their spirituality had to be extremely high . Many of the people here didn’t even have the qualifications to possess a Treasure item yet .
That ancient race expert took a full incense stick’s worth of time before managing to open the coffin by a foot .
He was already impatient and felt that this was already enough . He no longer bothered pushing against the coffin . Instead, he reached in to grab the armor .
But what he didn’t expect was that as he stopped pushing the lid, it suddenly slammed shut .
“AH!” He let out a miserable scream as his arm was squeezed off . A portion of it was now within the coffin . The speed at which the coffin had closed had been too fast for him to react .
As soon as that person was injured, two others rushed over . They were covered with fur and should be from the same race as him . The two of them were previously guarding the outer perimeter . But now they came to give him a hand . With them working together, they quickly opened the coffin again . The rank three Celestial seemed wary and took out a long pair of pliers, carefully reaching it into the coffin to take the armor .
BOOM!
The pliers had just entered the coffin when the lid once more instantly shut . Those Enchanted-level pliers were blown apart, and his own hands turned bloody . The two helping him were sent flying, vomiting blood .
Everyone’s heart shook . It seemed they had to obediently follow the rules of this place and completely open the coffin before taking what was inside .
Although everyone had entered, they had all been watching this fellow as an experiment . What happened to him proved that they had been right to wait . The lessons he had taught them paved their own paths .
Long Chen walked around the entire mountain . There were tens of thousands of coffins scattered randomly throughout the mountain .
He also saw where Yue Xiaoqian was . Since she had known the origin of these coffins, she should also know how to open them . There shouldn’t be any problems .
At this time, all the experts finally set into motion, choosing their own targets . They were smart people, first rushing to the side of the coffin . If no runic attack appeared, then those coffins had to be empty and there was no need to waste time . They moved on .
Yu Changhao had already set into motion . But Long Chen was surprised to see Xue You with his eyes closed . However, his third eye was open, seemed to be sensing something .
“Fuck it, although my luck’s bad, if I don’t do anything, even being lucky wouldn’t have any use . ” Long Chen cursed inside and rushed toward the peak of the mountain . There were slightly fewer people there .
