Ch 689: The Black Coffin
It wasn’t just the cultivator holding the jade flute.
Including the others present, everyone suddenly looked towards him.
The cultivator, full of doubts, turned around and was immediately startled.
He saw that the Spirit Heart Fruit Tree, which had originally been lush and leafy, had suddenly changed.
The green branches and leaves were turning withered and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing a grayish-black color.
“The Spirit Heart Fruit Tree is withering?”
Seeing this, the cultivator’s eyes were full of surprise.
Soon, the Spirit Heart Fruit Tree completely lost its vitality, finally turning into a wisp of smoke, which dissipated with a passing breeze.
“How could the Spirit Heart Fruit Tree dissipate?”
Everyone present looked at this scene with a dumbfounded expression, utterly baffled.
It couldn’t be that they had taken all the fruit from the tree, causing the Spirit Heart Fruit Tree to change like this, could it?
But even if that were the case, it was still very strange.
As a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, how could the Spirit Heart Fruit Tree be so fragile?
Before they could figure it out.
Boom!
With a loud roar, the Heaven and Earth above the sky dome, which had been clear for thousands of miles, suddenly became incredibly dark.
Everyone looked up in astonishment.
Above the sky dome, it was as if an invisible hand gently grasped it, the space instantly collapsing, and the entire azure sky was instantly torn open with countless openings, revealing a deep darkness.
Then another booming sound.
The ground violently shook, cracking into cracks thousands of miles long and unfathomably deep.
The sudden change immediately startled everyone.
All the cultivators present flew into the air, gazing at the ground and sky full of cracks, their faces darkening.
“What exactly is going on?”
Everyone was very surprised; first, the Spirit Heart Fruit Tree suddenly dissipated, and then the entire Secret Realm seemed to be about to shatter.
All of this was too weird!
“Up there… meteorites?!”
At this time, someone looked up at the sky and exclaimed.
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked up, and saw countless meteorites falling from the torn sky.
Countless sparks appeared on the surface of the meteorites, instantly turning into a raging flame, wrapping the meteorites and falling towards the ground below.
Boom!
After a few breaths, the meteorites fell directly to the ground.
Instantly, dust rose, fire spread, and wherever the meteorites fell, everything there was completely destroyed by the terrifying power contained within them, turning into ruins.
Countless meteorites fell directly towards the location of everyone present.
Faced with this scene that seemed like the end of the world, everyone’s faces changed drastically, and they all used their own methods to try to avoid them.
“Form a formation!”
The Qixia Sect cultivators raised their hands and sent out several talismans. The talismans immediately emitted a clear radiance, transforming into a highly defensive formation that enveloped them.
Some cultivators controlled spirit artifacts, emitting powerful fluctuations, attempting to split the falling meteorites; others simply escaped into the ground to avoid the falling meteorites…
However, when the meteorites descended into the air, a look of terror appeared in their eyes, and they instantly regretted it.
The meteorites were much larger than what they had observed with the naked eye, and the power they contained during their descent was terrifying.
Bang!
Some cultivators with only Nascent Soul Stage cultivation level did not even utter a scream before they were crushed by the meteorites, and their Nascent Souls did not even escape their bodies before they completely perished.
“Come here!”
Seeing this, Moon Howling Old Ancestor’s expression turned serious, and he waved his hand.
Countless cold airs emanated from his body, enveloping the cultivators of his sect.
When meteorites fell and touched the cold air, they were instantly frozen, then shattered from the inside, turning into large pieces of ice crystals that scattered.
Gu Yingxue also gathered the cultivators of her Yaohua Immortal Sect together.
When a meteorite fell towards them, a five-colored halo instantly emanated from Gu Yingxue’s body.
This five-colored halo rippled outwards, and the moment it shone on the meteorite, the meteorite instantly collapsed.
Ji Mansion Old Ancestor waved a set of formation flags, condensing a killing formation, continuously annihilating the falling meteorites.
Qin Luotian looked up at the sky dome, his expression calm as he threw a punch. The fist light was dazzling and brilliant, directly shattering the meteorites bombarding down from the sky dome.
Meteorites that were enough to kill Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were insignificant in front of these four Body Integration Stage cultivators.
Within Baoding Cave Heaven.
Li Hanzhou, witnessing this scene, was also incredibly shocked.
This Secret Realm suddenly undergoing such a huge change was simply too strange.
Fortunately, he hadn’t gone out; otherwise, the falling meteorites alone would have been enough for him to deal with.
“But why did this Secret Realm change into its current appearance without warning?”
It wasn’t just him who was curious about this question.
All the cultivators in the Secret Realm, watching this devastating scene, also had bewildered expressions.
“Could it be that we touched some taboo within the Secret Realm, and that’s why we encountered such a disaster?”
“But the problem is, from the time we entered until now, we only picked all the Spirit Heart Fruits from this Spirit Heart Fruit Tree. Besides that, we didn’t do anything else!”
“……”
Everyone discussed animatedly, but they couldn’t come to a conclusion.
Although they didn’t know why the Secret Realm had undergone such a change, in other areas of the Secret Realm, after the meteorites swept through, it is estimated that many of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures growing there would also be eliminated.
And at this moment.
A black spot suddenly appeared in the distance.
The black spot expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming larger and larger until it attracted everyone’s attention.
“Is that a mountain?”
The cultivators present looked at the black spot with apprehensive expressions. From their perspective, it was a huge black High Mountain.
And this High Mountain seemed to have emerged from the ground, and was still expanding at this moment.
However, after Moon Howling Old Ancestor, Ji Mansion Old Ancestor, Gu Yingxue, and Qin Luotian, the four Body Integration Stage cultivators, carefully looked at the High Mountain, their faces instantly became extremely solemn.
“That’s not a mountain!”
Gu Yingxue shook her head, her brows furrowed.
Qin Luotian took a deep breath and then said, “If I’m not mistaken, that should be a giant coffin!”
“What?”
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked towards the ‘High Mountain.’ As the High Mountain grew larger,
they were able to see the ‘High Mountain’s’ full appearance. As Qin Luotian said, it was clearly not a mountain, but a coffin.
But why would there be a coffin in the Secret Realm?
This was truly incredible.
The coffin was incredibly huge, almost occupying the entire Secret Realm.
And on the black exterior of the coffin, many twisted and weird runes were engraved, looking extremely mysterious.
When the entire coffin was completely revealed before everyone,
a faint aura emanated from the coffin, instantly permeating the entire Secret Realm.
This aura was vast, like the scorching sun standing in the sky, impossible to look directly at.
Everyone present, regardless of whether they were Divine Transformation Stage cultivators or the four Body Integration Stage cultivators like Qin Luotian, when they sensed this aura, their bodies instantly stiffened.
A strong sense of crisis arose in their hearts, as if when facing this aura, they themselves were as small as ants.
They couldn’t even muster the will to resist.
The four Body Integration Stage cultivators, Qin Luotian and the others, exchanged glances; they seemed to have thought of something, and their faces were full of horror.
“This isn’t a Secret Realm at all; it’s an Immortal Tomb!”
