Chapter 13 The Legacy of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!

As the light of the five-colored altar converged, the Taiji Bagua diagram in the sky became increasingly clear and brilliant, as if cast from metal, with its brilliance constantly flashing.

The eight symbols of the Bagua flickered uncertainly, and after changing countless times in a complex sequence, they were about to light up completely, opening the ancient star-road.

However, right at this moment, a tragic aura soared into the sky from the Dalei Yin Temple, the ground completely split apart, and a behemoth surged into the sky, shaking the firmament.

Two giant blood-red eyes like lanterns approached rapidly from afar in the darkness.

Everyone's heart instantly leaped into their throats.

This was a terrifying great demon suppressed by the Buddha in myths and legends, and now that it had broken free, who else in this world could suppress it?

Fortunately, at this moment, the Taiji Bagua diagram in mid-air had already taken shape, and the eight trigram symbols shone simultaneously, emitting a dazzling light as the door to the starry sky reappeared.

The nine dragon corpses in front of the bronze ancient coffin, which had originally been motionless, also began to tremble at this time.

"Quick, get inside the coffin!"

Everyone scrambled and rushed into the bronze ancient coffin.

The coffin lid that had overturned on the ground also flew up into the air, heavily slamming back onto the ancient coffin.

Inside the ancient coffin, the vision of Lu Chen and the others plunged into darkness once again, but everyone felt unusually at ease at this moment.

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

Seeing the nine dragons pulling the coffin rising into the air, the Crocodile Ancestor let out an enraged roar, extending a giant hand that blotted out the sky, trying to stop this nine dragons pulling the coffin.

However, right at this time, a trace of imperceptible light suddenly bloomed on the surface of the bronze ancient coffin.

The moment the Crocodile Ancestor's palm came into contact with this light, it was directly repelled, and brilliant demonic blood sprinkled across the sky, falling onto the bronze ancient coffin, making the light on the surface of the ancient coffin glow a bit brighter.

Suffering a silent loss, the Crocodile Ancestor was so enraged that it roared in place, but it dared not strike rashly again.

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

Inside the ancient coffin.

Everyone's face carried the relief of surviving a disaster, rejoicing that they had actually managed to escape alive from the hands of a great demon like the Crocodile Ancestor.

After letting go of their tense emotions, exhaustion instantly struck everyone, and they all collapsed weakly onto the ground from fatigue.

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

"Lu Chen, thank you very much!"

"Return this to you."

Lin Jia also walked over to express her gratitude and prepared to return the pestle to Lu Chen.

"You guys keep holding onto them first."

"Who knows if there will be any danger next."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said.

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

Aside from Lu Chen and his group, it also concealed the divine fetus of the Crocodile Ancestor, the divine ghost-thought of the Major Achievement Sacred Body, and a small divine crocodile.

This time, under Lu Chen's organization and command, the light of the five-colored altar was not breached. That small divine crocodile probably did not sneak in, but the divine fetus of the Crocodile Ancestor and the divine ghost-thought of the Major Achievement Sacred Body definitely followed along.

In fact, it was mainly because Lu Chen didn't really care much about these two broken Buddhist artifacts.

After all, they were originally broken items, and in the battle just now, ninety percent of their might had already been depleted.

Moreover, next, they would be absorbed by this bronze ancient coffin, and by then they would be no different from scrap metal.

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

Ye Fan and Pang Bo also followed and sat down beside Lu Chen.

The other classmates felt that this small bronze coffin was unlucky, but Lu Chen knew clearly that this was the truly safe location.

Whether it was the divine fetus of the Crocodile Ancestor or the divine ghost-thought of the Major Achievement Sacred Body, none of them dared to approach this small bronze coffin.

Afterward, the three of them decided to take turns resting.

In such an environment, even though they were classmates, they still maintained their vigilance.

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

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

Lu Chen glanced around and found that no one had died, so it seemed that the small divine crocodile from the original novel truly hadn't sneaked in.

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

Ye Fan spoke in a low voice.

"Mhm."

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"Aiya, now that my parents find out I'm missing, they're probably going to be worried sick."

Pang Bo, who was always carefree, also showed a look of melancholy at this moment.

"Rest assured, someone will take care of your parents for you."

Lu Chen said with a faint smile.

"Ah?"

"Could it be that Brother Chen, you already arranged for someone in advance?"

Pang Bo said with some surprise.

Even the thick-skinned Pang Bo, after the experiences along this journey, already knew that Lu Chen must have known something in advance about their encounter today.

However, neither Ye Fan nor Pang Bo asked too many questions.

They only knew one thing: Lu Chen was their good brother and would certainly not harm them.

"Brother Chen, when can we return to Earth?"

Ye Fan spoke in a slightly low voice.

At this moment, a hint of regret welled up in Ye Fan's heart.

Regarding his parents, Ye Fan wasn't too worried for now.

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

What made Ye Fan feel regretful was another person, his current prospective girlfriend Xu Qiong.

Earlier at Mount Tai, after Ye Fan sent a message to his parents, he subconsciously sent a message to Xu Qiong as well.

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

Now, after truly understanding their current situation, Ye Fan didn't dare to be certain how long it would take for him to return to Earth again?

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

Lu Chen saw the worry on Ye Fan's face, reached out to pat Ye Fan's shoulder, and said:

"Don't think too much!"

"Rest assured, it won't be too long before we go back."

Lu Chen didn't say this just to comfort Ye Fan; rather, he indeed had plans in this regard in his heart.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ye Fan raised his head, smiled, and just as he wanted to say something, he suddenly froze in place.

"Did you guys hear any sound?"

"What sound?"

Pang Bo looked around with a blank expression.

Lu Chen naturally knew that this voice was a special lesson prepared by the beast-milk Heavenly Emperor exclusively for Ye Fan.

Then at that moment, an ethereal and grandiose Heavenly Sound of the Dao also rang in Lu Chen's ears.

"The Dao of heaven diminishes the excessive and replenishes the deficient…"
