Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique-Chapter 387 - 39: Devouring and the Unknown Entity

Everyone felt a chill down their spine, including the fifteen "distinguished figures" who were currently opening the Stone Coffin.

They had never encountered something so eerie and terrifying before—the Stone Coffin wasn’t open yet, but blood had already flowed out.

The blood was so balefully odd.

"Hehehehe," the Mad Demon laughed, his laughter so sinister and horrifying.

This made many people even more fearful and moved, as the Stone Coffin was terrifying, probably containing something that could shake anyone’s soul.

"What semblance of evil sorcery can disrupt my heart? My fellows, even if a Divine Spirit is buried within this Stone Coffin, they have been dead for who knows how many years. What harm could they possibly do to me?" a distinguished figure said coldly.

"This is Woo Shiao from the Sky Gazing Sect, a formidable figure with terrifying Cultivation," someone remarked.

Lin Feng stroked his chin—it was someone from the Sky Gazing Sect. He hadn’t seen any of the Sky Gazing Sect disciples he had clashed with in the cave earlier. Could it be that they had all been killed by the Mad Demon?

"Brother Woo is right. With so many of us gathered here, we should naturally be fearless," another distinguished figure said.

Which of these distinguished figures hadn’t endured many trials?

They had long been capable of dealing with all manner of difficult situations.

They steadied their hearts and continued to pull out the Stone Nails.

"Eh, look quickly, the blood has disappeared," someone pointed at the Stone Coffin and exclaimed in surprise.

The blood that had flowed from the Stone Coffin had vanished without a trace, as if everything everyone had seen before was illusory.

Many people frowned, wondering why the blood had inexplicably disappeared, and moreover, it had disappeared so mysteriously that no one had even noticed how it had gone.

Woo Shiao sneered, "I told you earlier, it’s an Evil Technique designed to disturb us. Now it’s as I said, this blood from the Stone Coffin is nothing but an Illusion Technique; we are determined to open this Stone Coffin."

He appeared somewhat smug, even taking on the air of an expert, but his capability was indeed strong, and the rest of the distinguished figures nodded in agreement.

"Hehehehe!"

The Mad Demon laughed again, causing many to feel goosebumps crawl over their skin as they quickly moved away from the area where the Mad Demon stood.

Lin Feng looked at the Mad Demon and noticed that his gaze was firmly locked on Woo Shiao, which made Lin Feng slightly frown. There was something unsettling about the Mad Demon’s gaze.

But he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

The Mad Demon seemed to notice Lin Feng’s stare and looked back at him. Lin Feng immediately felt as if his body was freezing up, as if falling into an Abyss. The Mad Demon was too frightening. Lin Feng quickly withdrew his gaze and only then did he start to feel slightly better.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze and attention were fixed on the Stone Coffin, as the Stone Nails were being pulled out one by one. Out of eighty-one nails, only the last six remained.

"Phew..."

Even the distinguished figures could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Removing a Stone Nail required a great deal of Mana since the nails were connected to the Array Patterns on the Stone Coffin, making it no easy task for them.

But now, the distinguished figures were very excited because soon all the Stone Nails would be removed.

"Finally, the Stone Coffin is about to be opened. I wonder whether the Coffin houses any Divine Spirit Daoist Legacies?"

Many people’s eyes were glued to the Stone Coffin, as the critical moment now approached.

Lin Feng touched his chin and muttered to himself, "If there really is a Divine Spirit Daoist Legacy, once it’s opened, I guess these distinguished figures are likely to fight to the death over it, right?"

Such things were all too common in the Cultivator World—an alliance at one moment could turn into undying enemies the next.

In the end, it all came down to interests driving actions.

This was the law of the Cultivator World.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest: talk of interests, not of relationships.

...

Crack.

Another Stone Nail was pulled out, leaving only the final five.

But at that moment, from the loosened Stone Coffin, strands of dark energy occasionally emerged.

"Black mist, what a sinister stone coffin,"

Someone’s voice trembled slightly upon seeing the black mist that was dissipating.

Woo Shiao remained indifferent and said, "It’s just another evil technique meant to disturb us."

The fifteen powerful figures continued to pull out the remaining five stone nails.

Finally, all five stone nails had been removed.

These powerful figures also heaved a sigh of relief.

What followed was the opening of the stone coffin.

The fifteen powerful figures’ eyes flickered, clearly having some different thoughts at this final step.

Even those elite young contenders with immense strength were quietly gathering momentum.

"Those heavenly prides are about to make a move," Lin Feng’s mind stirred slightly.

Certainly, these young prides, although youthful, had extraordinary strength and naturally would not miss this opportunity.

Besides these heavenly prides, there were also other powerful figures who had hidden their strength and were eager to act.

"Push open the stone coffin!"

Woo Shiao said.

The rest of the figures nodded, then all fifteen powerful figures pushed against the stone coffin together.

Everyone was shocked; the coffin lid was incredibly heavy, fifteen powerful figures working together couldn’t even budge the stone coffin’s lid.

"Good heavens, what is it made of? It’s just the lid of a coffin and it’s already so heavy, one can hardly imagine how heavy the entire coffin must be," frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

someone exclaimed in surprise.

The fifteen figures shouted loudly as they exerted their divine power.

Crack, crack...

Finally, the lid of the stone coffin began to move slowly.

A gap appeared.

"It’s about to be opened, everyone put in more effort," Woo Shiao shouted loudly, his eyes twinkling, ready to seize the moment to act; as soon as the stone coffin opened, he would definitely move first to snatch whatever was inside.

But at that moment, something terrible happened.

From that small gap, a powerful force of devouring suddenly burst forth, enveloping Woo Shiao. His body uncontrollably began to shrink rapidly, being sucked towards the stone coffin.

"Break!" Woo Shiao roared.

He struggled hard, trying to free himself from the devouring grip of the stone coffin.

But no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break free.

"No, save me..." Woo Shiao let out a cry of terror, his earlier arrogance now replaced by deep fear as he loudly pleaded for help.

But it was already too late for others to save him,

Whoosh.

In the end, Woo Shiao was devoured by the stone coffin.

"Ah!" Soon after, the screams of Woo Shiao came from inside the stone coffin.

After that scream, there was no more movement from Woo Shiao.

"Good heavens, has Woo Shiao died?" Many people exclaimed in horror.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Inside the stone coffin, it seemed as if something was trying to push the lid off.

An incredibly terrifying aura exuded from the gap.

"Quick, seal the stone coffin!"

The remaining fourteen figures shouted in terror, the stone coffin was too terrifying; Woo Shiao was a top-level figure and he had been instantly devoured by the stone coffin.

But it was too late, a terrifying force of devouring was emanating from inside the stone coffin, and all fourteen powerful figures were enveloped, their bodies rapidly shrinking, about to be devoured by the stone coffin.

"Isn’t this too terrifying? Are all fifteen figures going to be swallowed by the stone coffin?" Everyone’s faces turned extremely pale, the stone coffin was mysterious, and they did not know if an unknown and terrifying being was buried within, ready to devour these powerful figures.
