This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

As soon as a corner of the coffin lid was lifted, an intense oppressive force suddenly burst forth from that corner of the coffin.

Under this oppressive force, the eyes of all the Underworld Cultivators beside the huge coffin abruptly lost their luster, and their bodies began to sway uncontrollably, just like the previous Underworld Cultivators, they fell into the giant coffin against their will.

A few breaths later, more than a dozen Underworld Cultivators were completely swallowed by the giant coffin.

Afterward, the densely packed patterns carved on the surface of the giant coffin emitted a hissing and eerie sound, as blood-red divine light flickered in all directions.

Boom, boom, boom.

The giant coffin began to shake violently.

A hint of delight appeared on Li Venerable's face.

Indeed, just as he had thought, once all the patterns on the surface of the giant coffin started to flash with the blood-red divine light, a change would occur.

But before he could recover from his shock, a thunderous boom suddenly erupted from the interior of the giant coffin, causing everyone's spirits to tremble.

The crimson blood-colored luster burst out like a volcanic eruption, radiating endless dazzling lights.

Thud, thud, thud!

The dull sound of a heartbeat resonated, each beat shaking the Underworld Cultivators' Qi-Blood and causing dizziness.

Powerful demonic power surged out from the giant coffin like a tsunami, charging in all directions, and with a bang, the lid was blown off.

The fierce demonic power impacted against the walls of the ancient temple, making a continuous barrage of pounding noises, and the entire ancient temple began to tremble and sway under the force of this demonic power.

And a portion of the demonic power charged out from the open temple doors, the Underworld Cultivators swayed helplessly like reeds in the wind under the influence of the blood-red power.

In the distance, Lu Qingshan and his companions were equally horrified.

"What in the world is this Demon Spirit Tomb, so eerily abnormal!" Xian Huaibi felt somewhat terrified.

It was indeed strange; the Gengjin Tiger King had fallen so long ago, yet the leftover coffin was still so terrifying. One could imagine how intimidating and supreme the Gengjin Tiger King was during his lifetime, no wonder he was able to unite the Demon Clan of Qing State under his rule.

The sinister crimson aura rolled out from the coffin like a tide, flowing outward.

The Underworld Cultivators standing outside the temple doors couldn't evade or resist the penetration of the aura, and their eyes were immediately tainted with a layer of crimson.

They were more seriously contaminated by the aura, but at that moment, Li Venerable seemed oblivious to these changes, greedily fixing his gaze on the wide-open giant coffin.

Inside the giant coffin, a blood-red Great Formation emitted light, with intricate Taoist Patterns outlined and emerging. A dozen or so withered corpses lay across it, clothed in the garb of the earlier fallen Underworld Cultivators.

And at the center of the Formation, a massive creature was unmoving.

It was a tiger corpse, its whole body golden, its fur shiny and flowing with an otherworldly luster. Its eyes were tightly shut, but it still exuded a commanding presence even without showing anger.

The blood-red Great Formation nurtured rich Blood Light, all of which was poured into the chest of the tiger corpse.

There, a blood-red orb was gleaming and vibrated continuously — the soul-shaking heartbeat was coming from it.

"The blood of the Four Spirits, it truly is the blood of the Four Spirits!" Li Venerable's eyes were bloodshot, overwhelmed with ecstasy.

Only the powerful bloodline of the Ancient Four Spirits could after the death and soul dispersal of the Gengjin Tiger King, still support the immortality of the body and even maintain the vitality of the heart, allowing it to beat again with the force of Qi-Blood.

The Gengjin Tiger King had died, but his body was still alive!

Unable to restrain the excitement in his heart any longer, Li Venerable moved swiftly, braving the intense negative energy to break into the temple. With a flash of Spiritual Light, the enormous body of the Gengjin Tiger King was stored inside his Storage Ring.

Everything went very smoothly, with not the slightest complication.

"Got it!" Li Venerable exclaimed, ecstatic like a madman.

...

Whoosh!

All the while keeping an eye on the Underworld Cultivators, Lu Qingshan and his party of four swiftly sprang into action the moment Li Venerable entered the Ancient Temple, charging towards the Underworld Cultivators at a rapid pace.

Their mission on this journey was to pursue and kill Li Venerable as well as to thwart the Netherworld's years of planning.

At such a moment, they of course wouldn't allow Li Venerable to get his way.

In his prime state, Xian Huaibi's skin turned into hard rock, leading the charge at the forefront.

And it was the tremendous noise that they made as they moved which finally alerted the Underworld Cultivators to their presence.

The faces of the Underworld Cultivators changed, and Dharma Cultivators all began to form seal gestures swiftly, with dozens of spells being cast instantly, shooting towards Xian Huaibi.

Xian Huaibi was not at all afraid, his body glowing with Spiritual Light, using his physical resilience to counter these spells head-on.

"Boom!"

Xian Huaibi was engulfed by dozens of spells, with Spiritual Power light scattering everywhere, but then a roar followed closely behind.

He burst forth from the rain of spells.

"That's it? That's all you've got?" Xian Huaibi provocatively taunted, his hair flying wild, his manner ferocious and mad, exhibiting a state of unrestrained wildness that he had never shown before.

Unbeknownst to anyone, one half of his eyes had already been tainted with blood red.

The Cultivation level of the Underworld Cultivators was uneven, but on the whole, Foundation Establishment Cultivators were still in the majority.

Moreover, due to the use of Secret Techniques which caused an outburst of power, their strength had plummeted to an all-time low, which is why this combined attack was actually blocked by Xian Huaibi without him sustaining any injuries.

Howl!

Dantai Qingrun, holding twin swords, draped in an elegant Golden Sword Apparel, followed closely behind Xian Huaibi to attack the Underworld Cultivators.

Clang clang clang!

Accompanied by a flurry of metallic clashing sounds, Lu Qingshan's body also manifested cyan and deep blue Sword Armor, his hand wielding the Dragon Sparrow Sword as he too swiftly advanced forward.

However, just as Lu Qingshan's figure neared the Deep Pool above the plaza.

That always tranquil Deep Pool suddenly started to churn violently, as if boiling.

Not only did the thick and extremely blood-red malevolent aura on the surface start to roll, but the water in the pool at that moment also turned into the color of blood, startlingly vivid, with skies of Blood Light surging up.

"Lu Qingshan, that beckoning voice is getting stronger and stronger." It was in the moment when the Deep Pool underwent a drastic change that the King of the Western Rats, in extreme agony, struggled to cover its ears, trying to block out the call that only it could hear, but to no avail, "It's beckoning me over...."

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

As the boiling water of the pool surged, a blood-red pearl emitting streams of rolling malevolent aura emerged, rising and falling in the Deep Pool.

The pearl shone brilliantly, with wisps of blood-red malevolent aura moving across it, while inside the pearl, countless dense and mysteriously complicated characters fluttered about.

"That's Ancient Demon Script," Lu Qingshan murmured upon seeing this sight.

"The Demon Spirit Tomb on the surface is the burial ground of the Gengjin Tiger King, but in reality, it's also the place where he left his inheritance," seeing this scene, the knowledgeable he already understood the whole situation, "This is actually a Yin Yang Twin Tomb!"
