CHAPTER 754: CHAPTER 754: THE CURSE

Eight majestic characters, with a sovereign might comparable to the heavens!

This made Lin Yi’s heart tremble!

Without a doubt, the owner of this black copper coffin before him was that very Heavenly Destiny Emperor!

Lin Yi rejoiced, but just as he was about to make his move and rush towards the black copper coffin, he unexpectedly sensed a killing intent from behind him!

It was overwhelming!

Lin Yi’s face suddenly changed, and he immediately stopped advancing to see that Emperor Kun and his men had appeared behind him, staring at him with murderous intent.

"Let’s fight!"

"That is the corpse of a Great Saint, there can be no concessions!"

Little Jin’s eyes surged with a fighting spirit, and after acquiring the Saint Mecha, his desire to fight had become much stronger than before. If he could act, he wouldn’t hesitate!

Lu Qingcheng also nodded her head solemnly. Young Supremes, fearsome characters of the Quasi-Saint List, they no longer mattered to her now; should a battle be necessary, she would not shy away from it!

"Wait!"

However, Lin Yi suddenly stopped them, leaving both Little Jin and Lu Qingcheng somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Lin Yi would want to stop them.

"There might be a problem, let’s see!"

Lin Yi seemed to have noticed something, his eyes suddenly flashing with sharp insight.

Little Jin and Lu Qingcheng’s pupils contracted slightly. Could it be that Lin Yi had spotted something amiss?

This time, while everyone’s attention was mainly on guarding against the trio of Lin Yi, Emperor Kun ultimately took the opportunity to use a secret technique and break through, satisfyingly becoming the first to reach the vicinity of the black copper coffin!

"Ha ha ha, the body of this Heavenly Destiny Emperor is mine now!"

Emperor Kun laughed loudly, well aware of the maxim that fools die from talking too much. He acted swiftly, blasting open the coffin lid!

Inside the copper coffin, indeed, lay a lifelike corpse—an old man dressed in an Emperor Robe, his body covered with red hair, emanating a sinister fluctuation!

Upon seeing this corpse, Emperor Kun was initially overjoyed, but the next second, his face dramatically changed!

"Not right!"

"This isn’t the Heavenly Destiny Emperor!"

Emperor Kun, a man attentive to detail, naturally recognized that the one inside the copper coffin was not the Heavenly Destiny Emperor but someone else entirely!

Sensing misfortune, Emperor Kun immediately retreated, fearing that there was a significant problem at hand!

However, just as he had retreated, the old corpse in the coffin suddenly "swooshed," opened its eyes, and revealed an extremely eerie smile.

The body was surprisingly agile, and it leaped directly out of the copper coffin, pouncing onto Emperor Kun, and bit down on him viciously!

Ah!

Emperor Kun screamed in agony; even with his strength as the top of the Quasi-Saint List, his meat body was pierced by the bite of the old corpse. Instantly, the bitten area turned black as if poisoned, rapidly spreading across his body!

Emperor Kun struggled to knock the old corpse away, but the blackened part of his body quickly rotted, and in no time, a large area of his body had decayed, turning into an unrecognizable rotting corpse!

"It’s a curse!"

"Moreover, it’s a terrifying Ancient Curse, difficult to eradicate!"

Little Jin’s eyes revealed a trace of palpable dread. The Ancient Curse inspired fear even in him; if it landed on his meat body, the odds would likely be grim!

However, the Red-haired Corpse, after biting Emperor Kun, did not stop. It maintained a high level of agility as it darted about in the Emperor’s Tomb, causing a outright bloodbath!

Screams rose and fell in succession; many powerful experts were bitten one after another, afflicted by the curse, their bodies starting to decay. Even the ingestion of Holy Medicine was unable to reverse the effects!

"Go, get out now!"

"This isn’t the tomb of the Heavenly Destiny Emperor at all, but a trap containing the horrific Ancient Curse!"

Fear was evident in everyone’s eyes, the curse was so terrifying that it sent shivers down their spines!

This Emperor’s Tomb was clearly a deathtrap, using the Emperor Corpse as bait to lure those coveting it!

"Damn it! A Great Saint Emperor resorting to such despicable methods to plot against those who came after?"

One expert cursed by the Ancient Curse let out a despairing roar as his body rotted away bit by bit; no amount of medicine was of use, and he was on the brink of death.

He was unwilling to accept this fate. Having arrived at the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty Ruins, he found nothing and was now facing such a tragic end!

Lin Yi, however, didn’t believe that the Heavenly Destiny Emperor would do such a thing. It was more likely that this curse had little to do with the Heavenly Destiny Emperor, but was the work of someone else’s scheme!

This plot was designed for those who coveted the Emperor Corpse!

Perhaps, the one who laid the trap wasn’t targeting them, who had entered the Emperor’s Tomb thousands of years later, but rather the enemies who had destroyed the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty!

At this moment, everyone was desperately trying to flee the Emperor’s Tomb, and Lin Yi and his companions were no exception!

The Red-haired Corpse was too powerful; in life, it must have been an unparalleled mighty figure. By some secret technique, it had become the source of the curse. Who among those present would dare to engage it?

If they were tainted by the curse, danger would likely outweigh any chance of fortune!

But just then, the black Copper Coffin suddenly started to shake violently, and beneath it streaks of golden light shone forth, transforming into mini Jin Longs, the Power of National Fortune of the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty!

Such vigorous National Fortune was suppressed under this Copper Coffin, immediately drawing Lin Yi’s attention.

"Could it be that the Jade Seal is sealed beneath this Copper Coffin?"

Lin Yi’s gaze twinkled. The Heavenly Destiny Dynasty had been ruined for tens of thousands of years, and its National Fortune had long dissipated. The remaining Power of National Fortune was all within that Jade Seal.

Under the Copper Coffin, there had to be the Jade Seal!

Right at that moment, Lin Yi immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Little Jin, help me distract this Red-haired Corpse for a moment!"

Lin Yi communicated to Little Jin, whose Saint Mecha was tough enough not to fear the corpse’s biting, at least it would not be cursed in a short amount of time.

"Damn, you really know how to delegate tasks!"

Little Jin glanced at the Red-haired Corpse and instantly felt goosebumps all over its body. Without even engaging it, just two glances were enough to chill it to the bone. If it wasn’t for Lin Yi asking, it wouldn’t want to look at this thing twice!

But there was no choice, reluctantly Little Jin had to bite the bullet and act, as it was the only one among them capable of physically contending with the Red-haired Corpse!

"Old Redhair, look over here!"

Immediately activating the Saint Mecha, Little Jin burst forth, firing directly at the Red-haired Corpse and blasting it away!

"Qingcheng, cover me!"

Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Lin Yi signaled to Lu Qingcheng, and almost simultaneously, they rushed toward the Copper Coffin!

Lin Yi swung his arm and struck the Copper Coffin, flipping it over. In the next instant, a Jin Long phantom emerged from beneath the Copper Coffin, soaring into the sky. Wrapped in that golden glow was a Jade Seal, shimmering with multicolored Divine Light!
