"A coffin?!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"I wonder what cultivation level the corpse inside has!"

"Perhaps this secret realm is actually just someone's graveyard?"

Mu Jinyu looked at the decaying coffin placed at the center of the desolate land, his expression changing, whispering in his heart.

"Whiz, whiz, whiz..."

At this moment, Mu Jinyu noticed the movements of the Three-Leaf Youlian were growing more intense, filled with a desire to plunge its roots into the decayed coffin.

"Hmm..."

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu pondered slightly and finally chose to release his control over the Three-Leaf Youlian, allowing it to act on its own.

Although he felt this place was very dangerous, making his whole body bristle, his heart filled with various uneasy, suspicious emotions.

However, the Three-Leaf Youlian should not undertake uncertain actions that could damage its cultivation.

Therefore, Mu Jinyu did not stop it.

"Bang!!"

With Mu Jinyu fully releasing his control over the Three-Leaf Youlian, its roots instantly spread out crazily, and in no time, they rooted in the decayed wooden coffin, devouring it frantically.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

In no time.

The decaying coffin, along with the intact small coffin inside, was completely devoured by the Three-Leaf Youlian.

"Splash..."

Afterward, a pool of scarlet corpse water flowed down.

Immediately after, a body wrapped in a whitish-yellow corpse-wrapping cloth also fell from it, landing in the pool of corpse water.

It didn't make a splash.

It seemed the body was very light.

"Boom!!"

As the Three-Leaf Youlian devoured the coffin and the casket, exposing the body and the corpse water, suddenly, wisps of black and gray energy began to spread outward at a visible speed!

Filled with ominous and eerie vibes.

Mu Jinyu, seeing this, shivered, with all his hair standing on end.

Thankfully, under the protection of the Three-Leaf Youlian and the Earth Emperor's Tome, he wasn't affected by the ominous aura.

But he guessed the spread of ominousness might be accompanied by an even more terrifying stench of decay?

Fortunately, the Three-Leaf Youlian provided him with a breath of fresh air; otherwise, he would have despaired.

"Rustle, rustle..."

At this moment, Mu Jinyu noticed that after devouring the coffin board, the Three-Leaf Youlian quieted down, no longer restless and uneasy, exuding an even stronger and more vivid ghostly glow within him.

This feeling was as if the Three-Leaf Youlian had consumed some great elixir, about to ascend.

"I've never seen such a situation; even when encountering something good before, the two divine plants would devour but never with such urgency. Could it be that the coffin board was actually made from some divine plant?"

Mu Jinyu pondered speculatively.

After all, the stench of decay was extraordinarily terrifying, and its gray mysterious substance could even enhance the Earth Emperor's Tome.

Obviously, the owner's cultivation was incredibly profound, possibly even at least an Emperor Level, if not higher!

Most likely an Emperor Level.

Otherwise, the Earth Emperor's Tome wouldn't have undergone such a transformation!

Thus, for someone of this stature to use a divine plant to craft their coffin, while a bit exaggerated, is not impossible!

If that's the case, it's no wonder that the Three-Leaf Youlian would be so eager to devour it.

As for why the mystical little tree had no reaction but seemed a bit scared, perhaps their attributes didn't align!

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

The river surged violently, pulling Mu Jinyu's thoughts back; he no longer observed the changes within the Three-Leaf Youlian and instead glanced at the River of Oblivion beside him.

The gushing sounds just now emanated from it.

"Hmm? Do you want something too?"

Mu Jinyu looked at the River of Oblivion, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Then he looked at the pool of scarlet corpse water on the ground...

He then glanced at the ancient yellow color of the River of Oblivion, with endless corpse bones struggling inside it.

"Do you want this corpse water?"

Mu Jinyu asked.

"Rustle, rustle..."

The River of Oblivion, though not verbally communicating with him, was an artifact spirit that managed to convey its general idea.

"Can you withstand the corpse water of an Emperor Level being?"

Mu Jinyu asked, slightly worried.

After all, the River of Oblivion was a significant setup in the Earth Emperor's Tome, serving multiple purposes like brainwashing enemies.

If it got destroyed because it devoured an Emperor Level entity's corpse water...

It would be too regrettable.

Most importantly, the entire Earth Emperor's Tome would downgrade from Ancestral Weapon Level!

The loss would be immeasurable!

"Rustle, rustle..."

The River of Oblivion surged fiercely, indicating it wouldn't come to harm.

"Alright..."

Mu Jinyu pondered for a moment, eventually daringly releasing control over the River of Oblivion.

"Splash!"

Instantly, the River of Oblivion, like a yellow dragon, darted out, leaping towards the pool of scarlet corpse water.

However, it moved cautiously, like a fawn standing by a river, daintily sipping water.

It approached the corpse water, gingerly sipping it.

Seemingly trying to avoid coming into contact with the mysterious corpse wrapped in the corpse-wrapping cloth.

"Phew, phew..."

After consuming about half of the corpse water, the initially ancient yellow river water suddenly became close to the scarlet color of the corpse water.

As if it had been completely assimilated!

But its power enhanced dozens of times!

"It seems this really is a supreme supplement!"

"Back when the Earth Emperor was refining the Earth Emperor's Tome, perhaps he didn't use Emperor Level corpse water, causing it to yearn for it now..."

Observing this transformation, Mu Jinyu whispered softly.

"But..."

Continuing, Mu Jinyu furrowed his brows tightly, his eyes filled with doubt as he gazed at the mysterious corpse wrapped in the corpse-wrapping cloth.

"If this truly is the body of an Emperor Level entity, why did the Three-Leaf Youlian easily consume the coffin board, and why did the River of Oblivion easily drink the corpse water? Why is it so simple, something's not right..."

Mu Jinyu felt something was amiss.

After all, he had seen the Earth Emperor before.

Understanding the terror of Emperor Level beings!

At that time, the Earth Emperor was just a skeleton, with much of its strength dissipated, leaving only the last remnant of bone qi.

Yet it could remain unscathed under the Divine Primordial Light.

Dominating cultivators in the Life and Death Realm.

For over a month afterward, it battled with numerous kings of the Foreign Race.

Until the bone qi fully collapsed, then it was destroyed.

That is to say, if he didn't inherit the Earth Emperor Bone Qi at that time, the Earth Emperor might have taken down a few more kings of the Foreign Race...

The Earth Emperor's skeleton was already so daunting, someone who perhaps crafted their coffin lid from a divine plant shouldn't be this effortlessly handled by the River of Oblivion...

If their body was preserved in good condition, he probably couldn't even approach!

"Could it be, this is also a Human Emperor? That's why it took care of me?"

Mu Jinyu thought long and hard before arriving at such a conclusion.

Believing that if not for this, he had no reason to stand here unharmed, taking over this great fortune.

"Splash..."

Soon, after the River of Oblivion finished drinking the corpse water, it swiftly retreated into the Earth Emperor's Tome like a frightened fawn, silently digesting.

With the disappearance of that pool of corpse water, an astonishing scene unfolded before Mu Jinyu.

The mysterious corpse wrapped in the corpse-wrapping cloth seemed to lose all support and strength, the cloth unraveling on the spot.

Revealing the emptiness within it...

Turns out, inside the corpse-wrapping cloth, there was nothing, not even a piece of decayed flesh or a bone...

This, it turned out to be just an empty tomb!
