Chapter 22: Copper Coffin Town's Demon
Everyone's spirit was exhausted, and their soul almost left their body just now. The roar of that extraordinary alligator had an unimaginable power, as if it could capture people's souls.
If it weren't for the ancient bronze coffin emitting a strange metallic vibration, perhaps the fate of those present would have been unpredictable.
A dreadful aura came from afar, spreading across the sky like a tsunami. The great demon that had escaped from the underground of Dairen Temple, although it no longer advanced and stopped there, still emitted an aura that made people unbearable, their souls trembling with fear.
Dark energy surged and churned, shaking the vast expanse of sky. The sandstorm paused momentarily because of it. There, a dark aura filled the air, and in the darkness, two lantern-like blood-red eyes stared unblinkingly at this place.
Can't see its true body, where dark clouds are surging, covering the stars and moon, shrouding the sky.
Although it didn't approach them, the aura of this peerless demon ancestor was still unbearable for ordinary people. Many people on the five-colored altar almost fell to the ground, and even those holding divine artifacts in their hands couldn't resist.
Is this the great demon that was subdued by the Buddha himself? Originally a mythical existence, it actually appeared in reality, and it really appeared not far away, just like a dream.
As a modern city dweller, who has ever seen such a terrible scene? Everyone feels so unreal. What is seen and heard at this moment is really shocking!
The crocodile ancestor has now escaped, and countless years have passed. The heavens and the earth have changed, the Heavenly Palace has collapsed, and the Daluo Temple has long been abandoned. Everything is different, the gods are gone, who can still suppress it?
"Ahhh..."
Suddenly, the alligator ancestor let out a deafening roar like thunder, as if there were thousands of shocking thunders ringing in their ears. Among the people present, some immediately fell to the ground. It was not a real attack, just the vibration of sound waves, but even so, it made people unbearable, and many people's ears and noses were bleeding profusely.
"The rustling sound came, outside the five-colored altar, densely packed, a large number of divine alligators gathered, quickly breaking through the light curtain, rushing onto the five-colored altar. It was the Ancestral Alligator giving orders to these small alligators, it itself seemed to have some apprehension towards the copper coffin, letting its descendants come to probe."
"Get up, hurry up!"
Several classmates who had fainted and were bleeding from the ears and nose were exhausted, unable to move, and could barely hold onto their Buddhist instruments, which gave an idea of just how terrifying that roar was.
In the midst of everyone's cries for help, a few people finally stood up, but two were still a step too late. The divine alligator rushed over like a tidal wave and drowned them.
No miracle occurred, two dull hums sounded, the divine relic fell from his hand, and in the blink of an eye, two lives disappeared forever. Blood splattered everywhere, the divine crocodile scrambled to drill into their torso and skull, red blood, white brain pulp, especially piercing to the eyes
Others didn't even have time to rescue them, they were surrounded by thousands of divine alligators, each one was busy saving themselves.
So far, thirteen people have lost their lives, and the remaining seventeen are also in a precarious situation. Life is unpredictable, and death can come suddenly at any time.
Glittering light, everyone is waving the divine relics in their hands to resist the cold-blooded killers around them, trying to break through a way out. Even the naturally weak female classmates have long forgotten to cry and shout, and they can't help but fight desperately at this moment.
But the most dangerous thing still happened, anyone who used Buddhist instruments fell into danger, was not flexible and free, and was restrained.
"Roar......"
In the distance, the Crocodile Ancestor let out a loud roar. Seeing that the bronze coffin had no unusual reaction, it became even more arrogant, spewing clouds and mist as it slowly approached. Its blood-red eyes, which were as large as basins, shone brightly in the darkness, like two bloody suns hanging in the sky.
When it presses close, everyone finds it hard to stand upright. The kind of miserable breath is absolutely the condensation of killing thousands of lives, making people's three souls and seven spirits tremble, wanting to rush out of their flesh shells.
The distance was no more than ten meters away, but it was still impossible to see its true body, only two wheels of blood pupils could be seen, and everyone almost lost hope.
"Wooo..." Suddenly, a gust of eerie wind swept through the sky and earth, like a ghostly wail, several times more ferocious than the sandstorm earlier, as if millions of thunderbolts were tearing the sky apart.
In the dark fog of that vast sky, a large black hand stretched down, reaching towards the five-colored altar, its shape almost identical to that of a human hand, except it was too big, with fingers alone being seven or eight meters long, black and shiny yet eerie, frightening many people out of their wits.
This is the Great Demon of the World that was personally subdued by the Buddha!
Although suppressed for endless years, as soon as it was born, it shocked heaven and earth, and its power was unmatched.
At this time, the Taiji Bagua diagram in the sky finally took shape, which was completed by the divine power contained in the crocodile's blood. The eight trigrams shone at the same time, emitting dazzling light, and the Star Gate reappeared.
Boom
A dull vibration sounded, and the Taiji Bagua diagram opened up like a door, revealing a mysterious and massive passageway that seemed to lead nowhere, with an inky blackness inside.
The large hand that had reached out was pushed aside by a mysterious force, and at the same time, nine massive dragon corpses that were originally still and silent suddenly began to tremble.
Even though the dragon that stood with God had become a cold corpse, it still didn't allow any disrespect. A powerful dragon aura emanated from it, causing all the divine crocodiles on the five-colored altar to tremble with fear, prostrating themselves on the ground. Their bodies were like sieves, completely intimidated. In the end, they retreated rapidly, like a receding tide.
The altar was left with alligator corpses scattered all over the ground, along with a few human corpses, and suddenly became clean.
"Go, into the copper coffin!" Ye Fan was the first to stand up, and then helped Pang Bo up.
It's not that they're not good enough, but the extraordinary demon is truly exceptional. The aura alone is enough to be fatal to ordinary people, and the demonic energy can completely shock a mortal to death.
Everyone stood up, swaying their bodies, and the crowd agreed to enter the bronze coffin. The Starry Sky Gate has been opened, and relying solely on physical strength may not be able to move forward on the ancient starry sky road. Entering the bronze coffin is a helpless choice, the copper coffin is eerie and unsettling, but for now, it can't be helped but to rely on it.
In the darkness, the eyes of the Crocodile Ancestor grew even colder, its blood-red pupils like a red sun hanging in the sky. Suddenly, it shot out two piercing beams of bloody light, intersecting and sealing off the Taiji Bagua diagram in the sky.
Everyone's face changed color at this scene!
This powerful demon refused to give up, displaying the Heavenly Demon's Mystical Method. It attempted to seal off the Ancient Starry Sky Road, blocking everyone's path. At the same time, that large black hand reached down once again, easily breaking through the dim light shield and grabbing towards the altar.
The crowd was shocked and quickly retreated into the copper coffin, "Deng Deng Deng". A dark big hand reached down, its target was not the crowd, but this bronze ancient coffin!
Clang
A large black hand grasped the bronze giant coffin, making a "clang" sound, and everyone's heart sank. This ancestral method of the crocodile was overwhelming, and it was difficult for even Buddha to suppress it. If the mysterious bronze coffin did not have any abnormal reaction at this moment, then everyone really had no way out.
When everyone felt a chill, the black giant hand of Crocodile Ancestor flew away as fast as an escaping snake, and between his palms, there was a flow of bright, eerie blood, like a small river falling onto the altar, bursting into rays of bloody light, as if his palm had been injured by the bronze giant coffin.
However, the ancient coffin remained still, quietly lying on the altar. A chilling laughter echoed from a distance, it was the Alligator Ancestor gritting its teeth, the sound sent shivers down one's spine.
"What to do? The ancient starry road has been sealed off by this giant demon, how can we leave?" Many people were terrified, seeing a glimmer of hope for escape, only to have their path blocked, leaving them shocked and anxious.
"Energy... Now requires mysterious energy to open the Starry Sky Ancient Road!"
"What's going on? The divine artifact in our hands is losing its holy glow..." someone cried out.
At this moment, whether it was Ye Fan's bronze ancient lamp, or Pang Bo's Dairen Temple copper plaque, or Zhou Yi and others' alms bowl, the divine light contained within them all flowed out continuously and converged together.
Suddenly, a cold laughter like the night owl's cry echoed, and a figure of nearly two meters tall appeared abruptly outside the bronze giant coffin. Everyone was shocked, and the divine light flowing out of various divine artifacts was rushing towards this place.
A figure emerged, with a demonic aura that pierced the sky. The surrounding black fog churned and billowed, making it impossible to discern its appearance. However, everyone could sense that it was undoubtedly the Crocodile Ancestor from earlier! It had actually materialized on the altar, intending to enter the bronze giant coffin. Ignoring the crowd, its two blood-red eyes stared straight into the coffin.
This is a figure who has fought with the Buddha, from mythology to the eyes of the people, this scene is unforgettable and shocking.
Boom
Confronting the demonic aura of Gai Shi Crocodile Ancestor, all the divine artifacts seemed to have burst into flames, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance, gathering together to envelop the Crocodile Ancestor.
At the same time, all Buddhist instruments such as bronze ancient lamps, Tongyun Temple copper signboards, alms bowls, Vajra pestles and fish drums burst into splendor, rising to the sky on their own and then heading towards Crocodile Ancestor to suppress it!
A chilling and eerie cold laughter echoed, piercing to the bone, causing Gai Shi's body to slightly tremble. Suddenly, a dark light burst forth, and demonic flames filled the sky.
All the Buddhist objects were fixed in front of him, and several Buddhist objects such as meditation cushions and incense sticks made cracking sounds one after another. With a "puff" sound, the meditation cushion shattered first, followed by the incense stick and others. Four divine relics turned to dust in succession.
Four Buddhist instruments transformed into four dazzling rays of light, all dissipating on the five-colored altar, providing a powerful mysterious energy for the Starry Sky Gate.
Nine massive dragon corpses all shook and then emitted a rumbling sound, slowly rising into the air!
The crocodile ancestor was shocked, avoiding the bronze ancient lamp and several other divine artifacts. It rushed into the sky, its right hand rapidly expanding to cover the heavens and earth, grabbing towards the nine giant dragon corpses nearby.
At this moment, the bronze ancient lamp and the copper plaque of Dalai Temple seemed to have a spirit, each bursting out a most intense divine light, dazzling people's eyes, and sweeping towards the Crocodile Ancestor.
In the sky, endless rays of light flickered, dazzling to the extreme, making it impossible for anyone to gaze directly at them. No one could see clearly. The nine dragon corpses were temporarily stopped by the Crocodile Ancestor.
"When", "When"......
The altar uploaded a clear and crisp sound, the Buddhist relics, the bronze plaque of Dalai Temple, the alms bowl and other things all fell down, dark and dim, even the ancient bronze lamp went out.
"Nine dragon corpses were blocked, what to do?" The crowd was anxious.
The bronze giant coffin did not rise into the air, and the nine dragon corpses were blocked in mid-air, unable to enter the Starry Sky Gate.
Everyone walked out of the copper coffin and quickly picked up those dim Buddha utensils, while Pang Bo also collected the mineral water bottles on several corpses very quickly.
Yefan took off his top and collected a large package of alligator corpses on the ground.
Just then, a loud crash came from the sky, and everyone was shocked. They rushed back to the bronze coffin in a hurry.
The bronze giant coffin emitted a metallic tremolo, and the nine dragon corpses actually shook their huge tails. With a loud crash, they were all drawn into the black large hand of the crocodile ancestor, causing it to retreat.
Boom
A loud rumble echoed through the sky, and nine massive dragon corpses slowly rose towards the Starry Sky Gate. With a "clang", the bronze giant coffin shook violently, flipping over, and everyone suddenly felt dizzy as if the heavens were spinning around them.
The bloodthirsty gaze of the crocodile ancestor was extremely cold, and before the coffin lid closed, he actually rushed in, still targeting the inner coffin!
But at this moment, the ancient totems and divine carvings on the copper-plated coffin wall, as well as the bronze patterns of the primordial ferocious birds and beasts, all emitted a faint glow, causing the Crocodile Ancestor to stop in its tracks. It was as if it had suddenly remembered something, and two icy blood lights burst out from its eyes, "Tap tap tap" quickly retreating several steps in mid-air.
A loud "clang" sounded, the bronze coffin lid closed, and nine huge dragon corpses slowly rose into the air, pulling the bronze coffin with them, breaking through the blood-colored seal cast by the Crocodile Ancestor, and disappearing into the Starry Sky Gate.
