Chapter 2029: The Black Coffin
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Boom, boom…
With an unrivaled strength, the vortex instantly tore through time and s.p.a.ce, reaching mid-air in the blink of an eye. The vortex then absorbed the Underworld Monarch’s Corpse Palm, crus.h.i.+ng it to pieces.
The Underworld Monarch let out a m.u.f.fled huff, clearly surprised. He said, “Kid, I didn’t expect you to possess the Yin-Yang Saint’s Sky Halberd. I haven’t given you enough credit.
As one of the four monarchs of the Crimson Fire Continent, the Underworld Monarch was naturally worldly. With thousands of years worth of living under his belt, he was well-informed of the Yin-Yang Sky Halberd’s legend.
Now that he had seen it with his very own eyes, the sight startled him. After all, even his powerful Dharma treasure was no more than a Half-Step Saint Level item. Qingfeng Li, on the other hand, actually possessed a saint-level treasure, higher than his by a small level. Naturally, his heart was filled with hunger and greed.
Plus, the Underworld Monarch could see that the Yin-Yang Sky Halberd wasn’t fully activated. It was, at most, activated to a third of its full potential.
If it was entirely activated, Qingfeng Li’s previous strike would’ve wounded the Underworld Monarch. After all, the attack from a saint-level item was equivalent to that of a saint. Normal half-step saint self-cultivators didn’t have a chance against it.
At the sight of his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd’s effects, Qingfeng Li looked delighted. He didn’t expect for his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd to be saint level dharma treasure once used by the Yin-Yang Saint. With Qingfeng Li’s prior knowledge of the Yin-Yang Saint Technique, it was the icing on a cake.
Qingfeng Li waved out his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd relentlessly, unleas.h.i.+ng countless rays of black vortices. These black vortices were laced with white light, the juxtaposition of the two colors reminiscent of the beginning of time.
With the powers of Yin and Yang, the black and white light charged forward ferociously. With an unrivaled strength, the cone-shaped tornado instantly destroyed all of the black corpse energy in the atmosphere, tearing into nothingness.
The Underworld Monarch was livid. He said coldly, “Qingfeng Li, you really think I’d be afraid of you just because you have a saint item in your hand?! I will show you my true powers now.”
Black Coffin!
Focusing his energy, the Underworld Monarch took out a coffin. It was entirely black, more than two meters long. It was created by a special type of material and was carved completely with patterns of the undead. These patterns depicted the undead as eerie and as ferocious as could be, ever so frightening, as if they’d been sent from h.e.l.l.
At the sight of the coffin, the black puppy’s expression fell. It said, “The Black Coffin. I can’t believe the Underworld Monarch reached the Black Coffin. Qingfeng Li, be careful. It’s a near-saint level item.
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows as he took a step back. The Black Coffin made him feel cold, the kind of chill that sent s.h.i.+vers down his spine.
Although Qingfeng Li’s Yin-Yang Sky Halberd was a powerful saint item, it was only one-third of its way on being fully activated.
If the Black Coffin was completely activated, its strength would rival his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd.
The Underworld Monarch waved out his Black Coffin, transforming it into a ray of black light. The black light formed into a corpse energy coffin and rushed towards Qingfeng Li ferociously.
Qingfeng Li immediately waved out his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd, marking the air, piercing it forward, and striking it against the Black Coffin.
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud boom came from the sky, blowing apart the surrounding air.
Even the tough grounds of the Underworld Necropolis was left with a ma.s.sive hole. The hole was thousands of meters deep, its bottom nowhere in sight. The surrounding rocks, trees, undead items, h.e.l.l ghosts, zombies, and everything else died in an instant.
Deng deng deng deng…
Qingfeng Li’s body retreated back a dozen steps, his face colorless.
Even his halberd-wielding hand was shaking. He looked at the Black Coffin with a face full of shock. He said, “Too powerful. It’s unstoppable.”
From its previous attack, Qingfeng Li could sense from the Black Coffin a force exceeding 30,000,000 kilograms.
This meant that its strength exceeded that of his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd’s by 10,000,000 kilograms. It was impossible for him to fight.
Luckily for him, Qingfeng Li possessed the Mortal Purgatory Body, making his body as tough as iron, his skin and bones as hard as golden h.e.l.l rocks. This was why the attack didn’t injure him. If it had been anyone else, the attack would’ve shattered their bones.
The Underworld Monarch looked at Qingfeng Li as he said coldly, “Not bad. You were able to block my Black Coffin. That means you are capable. However, you will still be dying today.”
Wielding his Black Coffin in mid-air, the Underworld Monarch unleashed black corpse energy, covering the entire sky with it as he dashed towards Qingfeng Li once more.
Qingfeng Li pointed his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd forward, striking forth relentlessly. The halberd collided with the coffin, sounding a sky-shattering blow.
Countless gashes emerged in the surrounding air as if the sky had been pierced, as if everything had been torn open.
Luckily, Xue Lin had listened to Qingfeng Li’s previous warning of staying far away. Otherwise, she would’ve been blasted by the violent energy as well.
Although the attack forced his body backward and bloodied his hands, Qingfeng Li didn’t suffer too much. He still managed to block the Black Coffin’s attack.
However, he knew that he had to change the situation. For now, the Yin-Yang Sky Halberd protected his body from sustaining injuries, but he would crumble once the enemy attacked with other techniques.
Qingfeng Li’s eyes grew cold as he churned his brain for a solution. I can only use the Golden Flames thrice so that’s not an option. All three uses must be saved for the fight against the Crimson Fire Monarch. He was Qingfeng’s biggest enemy.
For the Underworld Monarch, Qingfeng Li thought it would be better to use other tactics.
Focusing his mind, Qingfeng Li took out the Thunder pearl from his interspatial ring. He knew that other than fires, corpse energy, undead items, and coffins were also afraid of lightning.
Qingfeng Li’s Thunder pearl contained a thousand lightning bolts, with all of them elevated to the middle-grade.
Qingfeng Li channeled his Thunder Chant, unleas.h.i.+ng its thunderous powers. He then held the Thunder pearl tightly in his hand, activating the thunder and lightning from his body.
Pa pa pa pa pa…
Suddenly, a thousand bolts of lightning shot out of the Thunder pearl, unleas.h.i.+ng incredible powers as soon as they appeared in mid-air, leaving cracks in the sky, cleaving towards the Black Coffin with destructive energy.
Zap!
The sound of a thousand lightning bolts striking the Black Coffin gathered into one deafening blow, smas.h.i.+ng open countless holes, rendering its corpse energy useless.
