Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

Chapter 124 The Old Royal Tomb Opens, Chu Coffin Reaches Out

A pale hand reached out from the coffin.

That hand was very thin and dry.

Long finger bones.

There was no color on the back of my hand.

However, it was covered with dark red door patterns.

Chu Jinglan stood before the coffin, his eyes as cold as ice at the bottom of the sea.

"Ancestors."

"I'm sorry."

The vast ocean realm unfolded with a roar.

The deep blue sea surged through the old royal tomb, but did not touch any of the other bronze coffins.

Chu Jinglan maintained perfect control.

All the force was directed at Chu Tianhe's coffin.

But that pale hand only clenched it gently.

The sound of the ocean tide suddenly stopped.

Xue Li's expression changed.

"Not sixth rank."

Lu Qingshan said in a deep voice:

"A seventh-order remnant body."

The white-haired old man raised his hand, and the aura of a seventh-tier peak descended, sealing the entire old royal tomb.

"Everyone, stand back."

Chu Jinglan did not retreat.

Shen Ye did not back down.

Because the Heavenly Punishment Eye on Jie Chen's forehead had already locked onto that coffin.

Inside the coffin was not only Chu Tianhe's mangled body.

There is also the blood body of the Blood Ancestor Priest.

The bronze coffin lid was lifted little by little.

Inside the coffin, a figure sat up.

He was a middle-aged man.

He had heroic features and wore tattered armor.

Even eighty years after his death, his bone structure still exudes an aura that can suppress mountains and rivers.

But his chest was pierced by a black door nail.

Dark red bloodstains spread out in concentric circles around the door nails.

His eyes were closed.

But on the nail in the chest, a small, bloody eye opened.

The bloodshot eye looked at Shen Ye.

The sound came from Chu Tianhe's mangled chest.

"The Night King"

"You found it very quickly."

A long halberd appeared in Chu Jinglan's hand.

"Leave the body of my ancestors."

Bloodshot eyes chuckled lightly.

"A descendant of the Chu family?"

"good."

"The bloodline of the Azure Sea Demon Whale is of very high purity."

"If it's made into a blood-based body, that'll be enough."

boom!

Chu Jinglan brought down his halberd.

The tidal wave transformed into immense pressure, crashing down on the bronze coffin.

But Chu Tianhe's mangled body raised his hand to block.

Just one palm strike.

Chu Jinglan was forced back three steps.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

It's not that he's not strong.

Rather, it was the body opposite that was once too powerful.

He was ranked first on the list of kings eighty years ago.

He died in battle at the seventh rank.

Even if it's just a mangled body, it's not something a fifth-tier being can withstand.

Shen Ye took a step forward.

"Dust of Calamity".

A burst of gray-white lightning erupted.

The Heavenly Punishment Eye shone on the door stud on Chu Tianhe's chest.

The bloodshot eye contracted for the first time.

"Divine punishment."

"Your beast taming is really annoying."

Shen Ye said:

"This means it's useful."

He slashed at the door stud with his sword.

Chu Tianhe's mangled body suddenly moved.

It was moving so fast that it was almost impossible to see.

A palm strike came down.

In the palm of his hand, the power of the vast ocean surged back.

It's not the power of vampires.

It was Chu Tianhe's battle tactic during his lifetime.

Chu Jinglan's expression changed drastically.

"The Master of Canghai Town!"

Shen Ye parried with his sword.

boom!

He was sent flying and crashed into a stone pillar in the mausoleum.

The stone pillars' array patterns lit up, preventing them from collapsing.

Shen Ye felt a sweet taste in his throat and swallowed blood.

The system prompts an error.

[Target: Chu Tianhe's remains.]

[Status: Remains of the Old King, tainted by the Blood Gate Nail.]

[Manipulator: Blood Priestess Blood Body.]

Danger Level: Extremely High.

[Note: Do not destroy the remains, otherwise the Heroic Spirit Array will be damaged.]

Shen Ye's eyes darkened.

The corpse must not be destroyed.

The nail needs to be removed.

This is much harder than killing.

Chu Jinglan walked to his side.

"I'll take the lead."

Shen Ye glanced at him.

"You can't handle it."

Chu Jinglan said:

"That was also an ancestor of my Chu family."

Shen Ye did not try to persuade him further.

"I'll pull out the nail."

Chu Jinglan nodded.

The next moment, he charged out again.

The phantom of the Azure Ocean Demon Whale appeared behind him.

The deep blue tides pressed down on Chu Tianhe's mangled body, layer upon layer.

Chu Tianhe slowly raised his hand from his mangled body.

It is also the vast ocean.

But older.

It's heavier.

Even more domineering.

Two vast ocean realms collided within the old royal tomb.

Chu Jinglan was suppressed almost instantly.

But he gritted his teeth and refused to back down.

"Ancestors."

"Chu Jinglan, a descendant of the Chu family."

"Please wake up for a moment!"

He swung his halberd down.

It's not a killer move.

It is the Chu family's Soul-Summoning Battle Ceremony.

The halberd's edge fell before the bronze coffin.

hum!

A faint blue light suddenly appeared between the eyebrows of Chu Tianhe's mangled body.

Only for a moment.

But that's enough.

Shen Ye seized the moment, and Zhu Jiu emerged from the shadows.

Cleanse your soul from the Nine Netherworlds!

A deep blue light fell on Chu Tianhe's chest.

The bloodstains on the outer layer of the blood gate nail were washed away by an inch.

The Heavenly Punishment of Calamity followed closely behind, its gray-white lightning pinning down on the bloodshot eye.

Xueyan said angrily:

"The Night King!"

Shen Ye has arrived.

He pressed his left hand against the shoulder of Chu Tianhe's mangled body.

He thrust his black and gold short sword at the edge of the door stud with his right hand.

It's not a slash.

It's a choice.

Click.

The door nail loosened slightly.

The entire old royal tomb shook violently.

The soul lamps in front of the surrounding bronze coffins swayed simultaneously.

The white-haired old man's expression changed slightly.

"quick!"

"We mustn't let it disturb all the remains of the old kings!"

Blood Eyes suddenly laughed.

"It's too late."

It let out a sharp screech.

Deep within the mausoleum, the three soul lamps instantly turned red.

Three more bronze coffins began to tremble.

Lu Qingshan's eyes turned cold.

"Stop!"

Three seventh-tier experts attacked simultaneously, pressing down on the three bronze coffins.

However, the remains in the old royal tombs are all those of powerful human warriors who died in battle in the past.

No one dares to forcibly destroy it.

They can only suppress, not kill.

The Blood Ancestor Priest knew this, which is why he dared to hide his blood body here.

Xue Li gritted her teeth and said:

"He's stalling for time."

"Once the remains of other former kings are contaminated, the capital will be in chaos."

Shen Ye's eyes grew even colder.

"Chu Jinglan".

Chu Jinglan was covered in blood, yet he still stood in front of Chu Tianhe's mangled body.

"explain."

Shen Ye said:

"Call the soul back once more."

Chu Jinglan took a deep breath.

"it is good."

He gripped the halberd with both hands and thrust it fiercely into his palms.

Fresh blood flowed down the shaft of the halberd.

The bloodline of the Chu family is burning.

The deep, resonant cry of the ocean whale echoed behind him.

"Chu Jinglan, a descendant of the Chu family."

"Let us plead with our ancestors with our blood."

"Awake!"

boom!

A blue light suddenly shone from between Chu Tianhe's brows, revealing his mangled body.

This time, it wasn't just a fleeting moment.

His eyelids trembled slightly.

Blood was seen on his chest, and his face changed drastically.

"Damn it!"

Shen Ye didn't give it a chance.

Night Feather Black Sun Netherfire burned away the blood-stained surface of the door studs.

The Nine-Nine Netherworld Cleansing Technique protects Chu Tianhe's remaining soul.

Long Yuan took a step forward and pressed his hands down on Chu Tianhe's mangled arms.

The Heavenly Punishment of Calamity locks the Blood Eye in death.

Shen Ye gripped the sword with both hands.

"come out."

With a flick of the sword's edge.

Click!

The black door nail was forcibly pried out in half.

Bloodshot Eyes struggled frantically.

"You dare to pluck my lifeblood!"

Shen Ye said:

"You've hidden in the wrong coffin."

He stepped on the edge of the bronze coffin.

He pressed down with all his might.

The sword blade slashed upwards again.

puff!

The black door nail was completely pulled out.

A blood-red, filthy light shot into the sky.

Chu Tianhe's mangled body shuddered violently, then fell backward back into the coffin.

The blood-red eye on its chest detached from the remains, transforming into a black and red blood shadow, attempting to escape into the earth's veins.

Jie Chen had been waiting for this for a long time.

It opened its mouth and took a bite.

It bit directly into half of the blood shadow's body.

The blood-red figure let out a piercing scream.

"Heaven will punish this beast!"

Shen Ye raised his hand and swung his sword.

The remaining half of the Blood Shadow was severed.

Jie Chen swallowed the part it had bitten.

A system notification sounded.

Destroy the Blood Ancestor Priest's Blood Body in the Imperial Capital.

[Devouring the remnants of the blood-soaked body.]

[Clue obtained: Countdown to the opening of the Second Blood Gate Altar.]

[Remaining time: 7 days.]

In the old royal tomb, the three red-tinged spirit lamps have returned to normal.

The soul lamp in front of Chu Tianhe's coffin also turned from blood red back to deep blue.

Chu Jinglan staggered to the coffin and knelt on one knee.

"Ancestors."

Inside the bronze coffin, Chu Tianhe's remains lay quietly back in their original position.

The blue light did not dissipate immediately.

A faint trace of lingering sorrow emanated from the soul lamp.

"The Chu family..."

"Still there?"

Chu Jinglan's eyes reddened.

"It's still there."

"very good."

The regret paused for a moment.

It seemed as if she was looking at Shen Ye.

"The Night King..."

"Blood King City..."

"There's an underground sea..."

The sound dissipated.

The soul lamp returned to silence.

Chu Jinglan lowered his head and bowed deeply.

Shen Ye stood aside, not disturbing the conversation.

Lu Qingshan stepped forward, looked at Chu Tianhe's bronze coffin, and said in a deep voice:

"Reseal the old royal tombs."

"The Heroic Soul Formation has been upgraded to its highest level."

The white-haired old man nodded.

"Do it immediately."

Xue Li looked at Shen Ye.

"Seven days."

"The Second Blood Gate Altar will open in seven days."

The ancestral blood mark on Shen Ye's wrist has quieted down considerably.

But it did not disappear.

After Jie Chen swallowed the remnant core of the blood body, a dark red light appeared in the eye of the Heavenly Punishment Tribulation on his forehead.

It burped.

Then it points northwest.

Xue Li's face turned pale.

"In the direction of Blood King City."

Shen Ye looked at her.

"What does Chu Tianhe mean when he says there's an underground sea?"

Xue Li remained silent for a moment.

"There is no sea beneath Blood King City."

"Only a sea of blood."

"The Second Blood Gate Altar is located beneath the Sea of Blood."

Chu Jinglan stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"I'll go."
