Humans, starting with chat groups, rampage across the heavens.

As the light from the five-colored altar converged, the Tai Chi Bagua diagram in the sky became increasingly clear and dazzling, as if forged from metal, its brilliance constantly shining.

The eight symbols of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) flicker on and off, changing countless times in a complex sequence, before they will all light up, opening the ancient path through the starry sky.

But at that very moment, a tragic aura surged into the sky from the Great Thunderclap Temple, the earth completely shattered, and a colossal creature rose into the sky, shaking the heavens.

Two enormous, lantern-like blood-red eyes approached rapidly from afar in the darkness.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

This is a terrifying demon that was suppressed by the Buddha in mythology. Now that it has broken free, who in this world can subdue it?

Fortunately, at this moment, the Tai Chi Bagua diagram in mid-air had already taken shape, with the eight trigram symbols shining simultaneously and emitting dazzling light, and the Gate of Stars reappeared.

The nine dragon corpses that had been motionless in front of the bronze coffin began to tremble.

"Get inside the coffin quickly!"

Everyone rushed into the bronze coffin.

The coffin lid, which had overturned on the ground, flew up into the air and slammed down on the ancient coffin once more.

Inside the ancient coffin, Lu Chen and the others' vision went dark again, but at this moment everyone felt unusually at ease.

At this moment, the Crocodile Ancestor had already arrived near the altar.

Seeing the nine dragon corpses dragging the bronze coffin into the air, Crocodile Ancestor roared furiously and stretched out a huge hand that blotted out the sky, trying to stop the nine dragons from pulling the coffin.

However, at that moment, a faint, almost imperceptible light suddenly emanated from the surface of the bronze coffin.

The moment Crocodile Ancestor's hand came into contact with the light, it was directly repelled, and its bright demonic blood splattered into the sky, landing on the bronze coffin, making the surface of the coffin shine even brighter.

Having suffered a silent loss, the Crocodile Ancestor roared angrily on the spot, but dared not make another move rashly.

They could only watch helplessly as the nine dragons pulling the coffin through the starry sky portal disappeared from sight.

Inside the ancient coffin.

Everyone's face was filled with relief at surviving such a terrible disaster, thankful that they had managed to escape from the clutches of a powerful demon like Crocodile Ancestor.

After letting go of their tension, exhaustion instantly overwhelmed everyone, and they all collapsed onto the ground, completely worn out.

At this moment, Zhang Ziling came to Lu Chen, handed him the wooden fish, and said:

"Lu Chen, thank you so much!"

"Here, take this back."

Lin Jia also came over to express her gratitude and prepared to return the vajra to Lu Chen.

"You can take them first."

"It's hard to say whether there will be any more dangers next."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said.

In the original story, the inside of this bronze coffin was quite lively at this time.

Besides Lu Chen and his group, there was also the crocodile ancestor's divine embryo, the divine thoughts of the Great Accomplished Holy Body, and a small divine crocodile.

Under Lu Chen's organization and command, the light of the five-colored altar was not breached. The little divine crocodile probably did not sneak in, but the divine embryo of the Crocodile Ancestor and the divine thoughts of the Great Accomplished Holy Body must have followed.

The main reason is that Lu Chen really didn't care much for these two broken Buddhist artifacts.

After all, it was already a broken object, and in the battle just now, ninety percent of its power had been depleted.

Moreover, it will be absorbed by this ancient bronze coffin, at which point it will be no different from broken copper and scrap iron.

After the battle, Lu Chen felt quite tired, so he walked to the small bronze coffin in the middle and sat down with his back against it.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo also sat down next to Lu Chen.

Other classmates thought the small bronze coffin was unlucky, but Lu Chen knew very well that this was the truly safe place.

Neither the crocodile ancestor's divine embryo nor the divine thoughts of the Great Accomplished Holy Body dared to approach the small bronze coffin.

Lu Chen and the other two then decided to take turns resting.

In such an environment, even classmates remain vigilant.

After the three of them took turns resting for a while, about five or six hours had passed.

Not long after, the other students also woke up one after another.

Lu Chen glanced around and found that no one had died, so it seemed that the little divine crocodile from the original story had indeed not infiltrated.

"Brother Chen, is the next stop Beidou Star?"

Ye Fan spoke in a low voice.

"Um."

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"Oh dear, now that my parents have found out I'm missing, they're probably going to be terribly worried."

Even the usually carefree Pang Bo showed a look of melancholy at this moment.

"Don't worry, someone will take care of your parents."

Lu Chen spoke with a faint smile.

"what?"

"Did you already arrange for people in advance, Brother Chen?"

Pang Bo asked, somewhat surprised.

Even the oblivious Pang Bo, after all the experiences along the way, already knew that Lu Chen must have known something about their predicament today.

However, neither Ye Fan nor Pang Bo asked any further questions.

They only knew one thing: Lu Chen was their good brother and would never harm them.

"Brother Chen, when can we go back to Earth?"

Ye Fan spoke in a slightly low voice.

At this moment, Ye Fan felt a pang of regret.

Ye Fan isn't too worried about his parents right now.

After all, he had already sent a message before leaving, and Ye Fan believed that Lu Chen would arrange for someone to help take care of his parents.

What made Ye Fan regret his actions was someone else: his current girlfriend, Xu Qiong.

Previously in Mount Tai, after sending messages to his parents, Ye Fan subconsciously sent a message to Xu Qiong as well.

The message didn't say much, just four words: "Wait for me to come back."

Now that he truly understood his current situation, Ye Fan was unsure how long it would take for him to return to Earth.

Therefore, Ye Fan only hoped that Xu Qiong would ignore his message, otherwise he would feel too sorry for her if she kept waiting.

Lu Chen noticed the worry on Ye Fan's face, reached out and patted Ye Fan's shoulder, saying:

"Don't overthink it!"

"Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

Lu Chen's words weren't just to comfort Ye Fan; he genuinely had such plans in mind.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Ye Fan raised his head and smiled, about to say something, when he suddenly froze in place.

"Did you hear anything?"

What was that sound?

Pang Bo looked around blankly.

Lu Chen naturally knew that this voice was a special gift that the Beast Milk Emperor had given to Ye Fan.

Then, at that moment, Lu Chen also heard a vast and ethereal Daoist voice.

"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little..."
