I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3077: Chapter 1585: The Sacrificial Technique in the Coffin Opens the Heavenly Realm, Devouring Spirits and Swallowing Intent to Subdue the Cursed Yin_3

Xu Xiaoshou had witnessed the whole Arena and knew all too well what was sealed inside the Godhood-Sealing Coffin.

It was the Ancient Sword Saint, whose spirit and intent had been easily sealed by Mo Mo with the help of his single sword strike!

It was the enigmatic soul within the coffin that not even Elder Sang or Water Ghost Saint Thought could probe after the bizarre emergence of life!

Was the coffin left unchecked under the darkness of Feng Yujin’s Jin Lamp after searching most of the First Heavens?

Could Mo Mo’s sealing aura isolate the influence of life force, just like the coffin that had once obstructed and cut off everyone’s investigation into the roots of the trickery?

Yue Gongli, imbued with the Power of Three Ancestors, was able to remain unaffected by the possessing shadows, the Six Marrow Corpse King, with the Power of the First Generation Holy Divine, wasn’t the target of the Di Ying Holy Plant; Hua Yuan’s Soul Body had already been infiltrated back in the Eighteen Heavens?

...

“You…”

Xu Xiaoshou hesitated and glanced at Hallmaster Dao, “Are you sure?”

Hallmaster Dao gave a non-committal response, “Open the Godhood-Sealing Coffin, and we’ll know at a glance.”

“My advice is no!” Bai Zhou hurriedly waved his hand, pointing at the Life Forbidden Zone, “It can isolate the influence here.”

“But what about after that?” Hallmaster Dao looked askance, “If you’re focusing on the present, do you also believe that by simply waiting here, the Divine Relics will open by themselves to let us out, and the Di Ying Holy Plant won’t escalate to the point where not even my Life Forbidden Zone can resist its power?”

Bai Zhou was speechless. Was this sarcasm?

Fine, fine, I was short-sighted, then you all discuss it yourselves!

He grabbed his gourd, stepped into the Life Forbidden Zone with one foot, wearing an expression that said he was washing his hands of the matter.

“I’ll open the coffin!”

Xu Xiaoshou furrowed his brows, drew his Dragon Painting Spear, and proceeded to go over.

Everyone looked on in anticipation, indeed, at the critical moment, it was up to the daring Lord Shou.

But at that moment, Lord Shou stopped, turning his gaze to Yue Gongli.

Yue Gongli shuddered, “What, what is it?”

“You said it before, right? Spare your life, and you’ll lead the way?” Xu Xiaoshou tilted his head, recalling the moment.

Yue Gongli was instantly overwhelmed; his lips trembled with anger.

It was just a saying!

Did you actually take it seriously?

“Go on.”

Xu Xiaoshou smacked him on the bottom with the Dragon Painting Spear, too lazy to say more, and the latter could only scurry away, flustered.

“Huff, huff…”

Sand flew in the air.

The Godhood-Sealing Coffin standing in the middle of an empty and chaotic battlefield was tinged with a unique shade of gloomy color from the Divine Relics.

Everyone watched—Xu Xiaoshou, Hallmaster Dao, Mo Mo…

Yue Gongli, having made up his mind in front of the coffin, gritted his teeth, jumped up, and grasped the lid of the Godhood-Sealing Coffin, kicking wildly with his legs.

The vertical coffin, which sealed away the Holy Power of any contactor, was easily pried open by the mortal physique of Yue Gongli, using the inertia of a falling human body.

It was as if…

Someone inside was cooperating in opening it.

“Bang!”

When the lid of the coffin slammed heavily onto Yue Gongli and onto the ground, everyone was no longer able to hear the fox’s agonized screams, their eyes collectively swishing toward the interior of the coffin.

“How is it? What do you see?”

Yue Gongli pushed the lid that was oppressing him, quickly got up, and ran while glancing back.

He was the first to see the expressions of the countless people in the Life Forbidden Zone freeze, then while turning around, tripped over the air and tumbled forward.

“What is this…”

In the Godhood-Sealing Coffin, where was Hua Yuan’s Soul Body?

It was a clump of intricately tangled black branches, which sketched out the silhouette of a seductive Tree Mother.

Her six arms reached towards the sky, each forming different hand seals.

Her root-like tendrils, resembling hair, were embedded with numerous demi-saint positions, casually counting no fewer than twenty.

Her branches spread out, suspending various Soul Bodies that had been consumed by her, including that of Hua Yuan!

“Hua Yuan—”

Yue Gongli let out a wail.

Compared to the countless instances of feigned weakness and deception, at this moment, Moon Fox fell onto the sandy ground, his eyes truly reddened.

The soul body of Hua Yuan that hung from the branch showed no pain on its face, as ordinary as the familiar demi-saints beside it, with tranquility in its drooping eyelids, lifelike in its repose.

Yet it was precisely because of this that Yue Gongli understood all the more…

Hua Yuan had fallen.

He had fallen in utter silence.

At the moment when he still believed that opening the God-Sealing Coffin might leave room for reversal.

Hua Yuan was the shadow of Sword Deity Hua.

He, Yue Gongli, was the shadow of his big sister, Yue Gongnu.

Sword Deity Hua was of a proud and aloof temperament, never caring for the fate of his younger brother, leaving Hua Yuan to spend his lifetime in the Yunshan Emperor realm.

Yue Gongnu, despite her harshness, would cover for him whenever Yue Gongli wanted to sneak out of the Cold Palace Emperor Realm to play on the continent.

He was almost a carbon copy of himself, yet more unfortunate!

To tell the truth, Yue Gongli had fewer interactions with Hua Yuan than with other descendants from the five great aristocratic families of the Holy Emperor.

After all, that was just a shadow.

But a shared misfortune always has a way of kindling a special bond between souls.

This was why, in the Fate Temple, Yue Gongli had eagerly engaged Hua Yuan in deep conversation upon their first meeting.

The memories of drinking and reminiscing were still vivid; while I’m outside the coffin, Hua Yuan had already been hanged on the tree…

“Swoosh—” @@novelbin@@

A mournful cry, like that of a dying eagle, rose up the moment everyone laid eyes on the Di Ying Holy Plant.

That cry reverberated, numbing the minds of everyone within the Life Forbidden Zone, including Xu Xiaoshou.

Upon regaining his senses, the Di Ying Holy Plant within the coffin shook its skirt, flinging out countless black branches.

Yue Gongli, who bore the brunt, was impaled and eviscerated with a sizzle, fury boiling over as he glanced at Hua Yuan’s soul body, with his eyebrows stern and the moonlight reflecting in his eyes, just about to explode.

“Sizzle!”

He chopped off an Ancestor Tree Branch with his axe and turned towards the Life Forbidden Zone, lunging in desperation:

“Lord Shou, save me~~~”

Where could Xu Xiaoshou care for the gutted man?

When he came to his senses, the majority of the spoils he had claimed on the Eighteenth Heaven from the Twelve Holy Lords and Taizai Ci, along with the demi-saint positions, had all been summoned by the branches of the Ancestor Tree.

“So many demi-saint positions?”

The appearance of this long string of crystal gems left everyone within the Life Forbidden Zone agape.

Lord Shou killed all the demi-saints who entered the God’s Relics?

“My treasures, you dare to steal?”

Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes were nearly bursting with rage, it was one thing to meddle with him, but how dare they touch his demi-saint positions, the result of so much effort?

Brandishing the Dragon Halberd, he charged out to sever the branches of the Di Ying Holy Plant, but before he could even think…

Boom.

The entire world plunged into darkness.

The Heavenly Realm shattered, raining down countless Ancestor Tree branches that suspended and impaled the scattered Spiritual Cultivators up in the air.

The ground burst open, blasting out numerous black vines that sent everyone in hiding within the Divine Relics flying.

All the Spiritual Cultivators in the world were hung up, in an instant, their flesh and blood were utterly devoured, save for the Life Forbidden Zone.

Having stepped just outside the Life Forbidden Zone, Xu Xiaoshou heard the wails of countless pitiful souls.

The First Heavens had become a massive sacrificial array!

His flesh rapidly disintegrated…

His soul swiftly evaporated…

The various passive skills inside his body went into overdrive, barely resisting the sacrificial power.

“Damn!”

Xu Xiaoshou yanked back his foot, retreating again and again, pulling Yue Gongli to his side.

Inside the God-Sealing Coffin, the alluring Tree Mother swallowed the flesh of the whole world, blossoming forth, transforming into the World Tree, towering to the skies.

Wu Nong’s soft murmurs softened the hundreds of life forms inside the Life Forbidden Zone:

“With the spirits of this realm, truly open the heavens!”

“With the intent of all beings, invoke the Cursed Yin!”
