2003 Dimension Inside the Sarcophagus (1/2)

For a time, all was quiet atop the stone platform. Everyone was silent and still, gazing ahead without a word.

They had all been stunned by the green light that had shot out from the Bronze Sarcophagus.

Although the self-cultivators gathered around didn't know what this green light was, they all knew how powerful the Crimson Fire Monarch Sword was. It was no doubt the most powerful sword in all of the Crimson Fire Continent. Once, it had been the sword of the ruler of the planet, carrying with it the fate of the entire planet.

But now, a large hole was shot through the Crimson Fire Monarch Sword by a simple beam of green light. It only stood to show how powerful the Bronze Sarcophagus must have been.

Spreading his spirit energy outward, Qingfeng Li touched the Bronze Sarcophagus. He wanted to scout inside and see what material the thing was made from.

However, the next moment, a wave of boundless spirit energy came from within. This spirit energy was greater than that of any self-cultivator Qingfeng Li had encountered before and, immediately, he was forced back a couple of steps.

Qingfeng Li's face drained to a deathly pallor. A small stream of blood leaked out from the corner of his lips as he stared at the Bronze Sarcophagus in shock. This was not the kind of power he could deal with; it was at least at the saint level.

An impossible thought surfaced in Qingfeng Li's mind: could this Bronze Sarcophagus be forged from saint level materials?

Within his mind-space, the voice of Dark Night Emperor spoke to him, ”Little One, if my guess is correct, the Bronze Sarcophagus before us was forged from obsidian saint steel.

Obsidian saint steel was a rare and valuable material even in the Ancient Ages. I'd never thought I'd see so much of it here. A sarcophagus made from obsidian saint steel, what a sight to behold.”

Hearing Dark Night Emperor's commentary, a hint of awe appeared over Qingfeng Li's eyes. Although he had seen and held many Dharma treasures before, at most, they had been made from half-saint Level materials. He had never encountered saint level materials until today. In addition, he could clearly see that this Bronze Sarcophagus before him had developed its own consciousness and was able to attack on its own accord.

The Bronze Sarcophagus knew that the Crimson Fire Monarch was its enemy. This was why it had attacked the Crimson Fire Monarch Sword, blowing a large hole through it.

Tssssssssss…

Suddenly, a green smoke wafted up over the Bronze Sarcophagus, filling the entire space and enveloping everything within.

All the people standing around were covered by this green smoke. Then, as they all watched in shock, the lid of the Bronze Sarcophagus opened up and three beams of light shot out from within.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The three beams of green light flew into Qingfeng Li, Huozhu Chi, and Linglong Xue and drew them into the Bronze Sarcophagus. Then, the lid closed once more. The three of them had disappeared.

Seeing this, the self-cultivators behind him were all overcome with shock.

They were clearly aware that buried within the Bronze Sarcophagus was the body of the Sun Monarch. Whoever entered would be able to obtain the Sun Monarch's legacy. Everyone wanted it, but they didn't expect that, now, only Qingfeng Li, Huozhu Chi and Linglong Xue were allowed inside.

Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, and the others were relatively weak. They had only climbed to the hundredth step before realizing Qingfeng Li had been drawn into the Bronze Sarcophagus. Their expressions instantly changed.

Xue Lin hurried toward the Bronze Sarcophagus. Reaching out, she tried to push the lid open.
