Invincible Dad-Chapter 722: The Person in the Coffin_1

Golden Holy Bones.

They signified that the deceased had been a Quasi-Emperor Realm Cultivator in life.

Xu Lai teleported over, his brow furrowing slightly a moment later.

On the seabed, his teleportation was far less effective. He could only travel ten thousand miles with each jump and had to teleport five consecutive times to get close.

What is the origin of this coffin, before which thirty-seven Quasi-Emperors are kneeling?

His Divine Sense swept over it.

Xu Lai let out a soft sound of surprise.

He saw that the Bronze Coffin was engraved with a multitude of strange symbols. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Although they were ancient and some had become indistinct with time, Xu Lai still managed to find clues. The style of the strange, engraved characters had an uncanny resemblance to those on Emperor Wanyun's Bronze Coffin.

That coffin was truly extraordinary. It had firmly suppressed a wisp of Wan Yun's lingering will after his death.

Who's buried inside?

Xu Lai's eyes flickered, and he felt an urge to lift the coffin lid for a look. His main motivation was the opportunity to study the strange characters on the coffin, along with the tomb occupant's identity and origins. Using this as a foundation, he could deduce where Emperor Wanyun's Bronze Coffin had come from.

However, after careful consideration, Xu Lai decided against it.

No matter what, the dead deserved respect. Besides, this coffin wasn't the reason Xu Lai had come to the depths of the Sea of the Boundless.

His Divine Sense continued to probe the surroundings.

One breath.

Three breaths.

Five breaths.

For a full five breaths, aside from the coffin and the Golden Holy Bones of the Quasi-Emperor Realm Cultivators before him, there was no other sign of life within a fifty-thousand-mile radius. Forget life; there wasn't even another corpse or any debris to be seen.

CRACK.

CRACK.

CRACK.

In the profound silence of the seabed, a crisp, strange sound reached Xu Lai's ears.

His gaze fell directly upon the Bronze Coffin.

He couldn't help but sneer. "Dead for who knows how many years and you still dare to cause trouble. Truly ridiculous."

CRACK.

CRACK.

Amidst the strange sounds, two Quasi-Emperor skeletons stood up. Their flesh and clothing had long since corroded away, leaving only their unblemished Golden Holy Bones. Their skeletons indicated that they had been two male cultivators in life, with physiques almost identical to the Human Race, though subtle differences were still discernible.

WHOOSH!

Within the eye sockets of the Quasi-Emperor skeletons, two clusters of eerie green flames ignited. In life, both had been at the Fourth Layer of the Quasi-Emperor Boundary, and now they stared intently at Xu Lai. An ordinary cultivator would have been scared out of their wits.

But as for Xu Lai…

Not only was he unperturbed, but he even offered a pleasant smile. "You provoked me first," he said. "Don't blame me for being ruthless when I open your coffin."

BANG!

BANG!

As Xu Lai spoke, the two Quasi-Emperor skeletons exploded before they even had a chance to attack.

And it wasn't just them.

The thirty-odd Quasi-Emperor skeletons kneeling before the Bronze Coffin were also dispatched by Xu Lai in one go, as fragile as paper dolls.

So much for the small fry.

Xu Lai placed his hands on the edge of the coffin. He then carefully inspected the strange symbols engraved upon it and finally confirmed his suspicion.

The two coffins weren't made by the same person, but they must have come from the same place.

"Alright then," he muttered, "let me see your true face."

Xu Lai abruptly heaved the coffin lid upward.

To his surprise, his action didn't activate the symbols on the coffin. The engraved Formation and its restrictions remained completely inert.

This one certainly isn't as dependable as Emperor Wanyun's coffin.

Xu Lai glanced over, intending it to be a casual look, but his pupils contracted sharply. His gaze froze, fixed upon the face of the corpse in the coffin.

In the coffin lay an exceedingly beautiful woman. Her eyes were closed and her hands were crossed over her abdomen, giving her the appearance of someone who was merely asleep.

Xu Lai was so stunned because the woman lying in the coffin was Ruan Tang.
