Upper World warriors arrive to capture Ye Chenfeng and his allies. As Old Bai and Old Hei prepare to fight, a mysterious black coffin begins to tremble and emit energy. Two warriors are killed when the chains binding the coffin break, and a powerful force erupts, trapping everyone in the burial chamber.

Even He Zhonghai and He Dongfu temporarily couldn’t pay attention to Ye Chenfeng, Old Bai, and Old Hei.

The two Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm experts had mysteriously died under the broken chains.

This made the others hesitant to approach, but just getting a bit closer would allow them to see inside the coffin.

Inside the coffin lay an impeccably preserved body, its flesh full and even the complexion on its face showing a ruddy hue, aside from the lack of breath, it was indistinguishable from a living person.

The body was clothed in a black long robe, from the surface resembling a middle-aged man with closed eyes appearing very peaceful.

Upon seeing the person in the coffin, Skyhawk immediately transmitted to Ye Chenfeng: "Master, this is the Chaos Demon Emperor, I’ve seen him once before."

Ye Chenfeng nodded slightly, and with the precedent of the two Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm experts being killed, the remaining experts dared not act rashly, let alone approach the coffin.

For quite a while.

In this main burial chamber constrained by Space Law, there wasn’t even the smallest sound, only the echo of breathing resounded.

The Chaos Demon Emperor in the coffin was undoubtedly dead, yet immense energy continually seeped from his body.

Many Upper World experts, after pondering for moments, all had unusual glows in their eyes.

Even though some present didn’t know the tomb belonged to the Chaos Demon Emperor, they were aware it originated from the Chaos Era.

The body within the coffin was preserved so intact, even indistinguishable from a living being; surely, there were treasures on it.

Moreover, how could energy seep from a dead person’s body? It must be some treasure on the Chaos Demon Emperor that’s causing it.

Ye Chenfeng, Old Bai, and Old Hei had similar thoughts but didn’t intend to act, even if they dared approach the coffin for investigation, they’d be targets for everyone present who wouldn’t let them off.

Furthermore, Ye Chenfeng and the others felt something unusual; as a prominent figure from the Chaos Era, the Chaos Demon Emperor’s coffin might not be that simple.

He Zhonghai spoke, "Everyone, standing here won’t solve anything, we must work together to obtain the treasures within the coffin. Judging from the attack strength of the chains just now, anyone with Post-Stage Divine Emperor Realm cultivation should be able to withstand it."

"How about this, three people with Post-Stage Divine Emperor Realm cultivation step forward, the others keep an eye on Wu Fengxian and company, after investigating the coffin, then we capture them."

After He Zhonghai spoke, the other Upper World experts showed hesitation, especially those in the Post-Stage Divine Emperor Realm; who knows what dangers await near the coffin?

"Everyone, our family, the Hes, always repays tenfold to those who have been kind to us, and with the Space Law here constrained, do you want to stay here forever? The only breakthrough now is the coffin." He Zhonghai continued.

Finally.

Three old men stepped forward, all in the Post-Stage Divine Emperor Realm.

Seeing this, He Zhonghai smiled and said, "Thank you three for stepping forward, I, He Zhonghai, will remember this."

"Rest assured, I will also approach the coffin with you."

What He Zhonghai said wasn’t wrong; they couldn’t leave here now, the only breakthrough was the coffin.

If they stepped forward now, they could also gain favor with the Hes, so after consideration, these three old men stepped forward.

The three old men proceeded toward the coffin, and He Zhonghai followed on the far side.

He Dongfu didn’t move forward, his gaze fixed on Ye Chenfeng and the others, smiling: "Let’s patiently wait a while longer, think carefully, there’s still a chance to surrender before we act; afterwards, you might face broken limbs, why trouble yourselves?"

Ye Chenfeng and the others completely ignored He Dongfu’s words; they felt something unusual about the coffin, their gaze steady on it.

The three Post-Stage Divine Emperor Realm old men were near the coffin; this time, the broken chains showed no response and there was no attack from within, giving them temporary relief.

He Zhonghai, following on the far side, relaxed somewhat in front of the coffin.

Despite their hesitance, the three Post-Stage Divine Emperor Realm old men’s hands reached into the coffin simultaneously, their nerves tense as their palms touched the Chaos Demon Emperor inside, feeling almost like touching a living person, in terms of skin elasticity and smoothness.

After touching the Chaos Demon Emperor’s body, nothing happened, making He Zhonghai, standing by, want to reach in.

But just then.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

From the throats of the three Post-Stage Divine Emperor Realm old men burst forceful screams, as their flesh rapidly decayed from their palms.

In just two seconds.

The three Post-Stage Divine Emperor Realm old men were left with only skeletons.

He Zhonghai, who had just intended to reach out, broke into a cold sweat.

As everyone failed to recover from panic, the eyes of the Chaos Demon Emperor lying in the coffin suddenly snapped open.

Seeing this, He Zhonghai retreated continuously.

"Bang!"

The entire coffin abruptly stood upright, and a red light shone from the Chaos Demon Emperor’s eyes.

Once the red light lit up.

The four lifelike statues in the main burial chamber, formerly the four death gods under the Chaos Demon Emperor’s command.

Their eyes also flickered with a red light.

Immediately.

From each statue of the four death gods emanated the powerful aura of the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, while layers of stone chips continuously fell from their bodies.

Could these statues not be mere statues? Could they come back to life? Were they truly the four death gods once under the Chaos Demon Emperor’s command?

It’s known that when the four death gods join forces, their combat power can rival the Chaos Demon Emperor.

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Old Bai and Old Hei. If He Zhonghai and company prove difficult to deal with, if the four death gods under the Chaos Demon Emperor revive, their current power would lead only to a dead end.

Is it really over?
