Xia Chen was stunned. The formation he had set up was meant to seal the death energy, but what came out was actually chaotic energy.
Fortunately, Xia Chen reacted quickly. He formed a hand seal and summoned hundreds of talismans, replacing the original ones to form a shield that firmly locked in the chaotic energy that surged out.
"How could it be chaotic energy?" Xia Chen exclaimed in shock.
Fortunately, he acted quickly. If so much chaotic energy had flowed out, people outside would surely have noticed.
"I don't know either!"
Mo Nian wiped the cold sweat from his brow. He had concluded that this place must be buried with Underworld experts, but he hadn't expected chaotic energy to erupt out.
But his Thousand Illusions Spirit Coffin had no protective function; it could only be used for disguise and couldn't seal the chaotic energy. If exposed, all his efforts would be wasted.
Fortunately, Xia Chen was strong and reacted quickly. The chaotic energy was sealed, and the four of them felt completely comfortable within it.
"Guo Ran, you can't absorb the chaotic energy right now, or else once you activate the Heavenly Dao King Crown, you'll be exposed." Seeing Guo Ran unconsciously absorb the chaotic energy, a crown-shaped image appeared above his head, startling Mo Nian.
Guo Ran hurriedly stopped absorbing the chaotic energy, and only then did the Heavenly Dao King crown slowly disappear. At this moment, Guo Ran was just one step away from condensing the crown, ready to do so at any moment.
Here, chaotic energy surged violently. Mo Nian and the others were overjoyed. As soon as they pried open the coffin, they received a grand gift.
Mo Nian, Yue Xiaoqian, and Xia Chen were all desperately absorbing it, while only Guo Ran watched eagerly.
Looking outside, seeing that no one noticed anything unusual here, Mo Nian slowly pushed the coffin open, creating a gap that could pass through. Everyone peeked inside.
When they saw what was happening inside, the four of them gasped in shock. The coffin had its own world, and within tens of thousands of miles of space, a massive figure sat cross-legged.
That enormous figure almost filled the entire space; it was the first time the group had seen such a massive figure.
"Guo Ran, please make it difficult for us to keep watch. Let's go in and take a look." Mo Nian said to Guo Ran.
"Don't worry, leave this to me." Guo Ran said very readily.
He knew that here, his use was minimal, so it was better to stay here and keep watch for everyone.
Only then did Mo Nian and the other two carefully slip into the coffin. When they reached the massive figure, they discovered it was a three-eyed creature, covered in black scales, and where its third eye lay a longsword.
Clearly, this was a fatal blow, killing the three-eyed monster. Although it was dead, the pressure from its body was so intense it made Mo Nian and the others' souls ache. As they approached, they felt as if some force was pressing down on them, making it hard to get close.
"What kind of creature is this? It's dead and still so terrifying?" Xia Chen said in shock.
If this terrifying creature were alive, it probably wouldn't need to fight—just a sneeze. No one in this Land of Heavenly Burial would survive, right?
"This should be the legendary Three-Eyed Giant from the Santong clan of the underworld. In ancient times, they were a race that shook the heavens." Yue Xiaoqian carefully examined the three-eyed giant, a trace of shock in her eyes. She couldn't believe that such a terrifying existence was buried here.
"Sister Xiaoqian, what is the Santong clan?" Xia Chen couldn't help but ask. Yue Xiaoqian was so knowledgeable, there was almost nothing she didn't know.
The Santong clan refers to a race with three arms, three eyes, and three heads. Here, 'three arms' refers to having three pairs of arms.
The Three-Armed Clan possesses formidable physical bodies, said to support the sky with three arms, capable of carrying mountains and seas, chasing stars and moons.
The Three-Eyed Clan possesses formidable magical power, known as the Three Eyes reaching the heavens, with boundless power. Each of their three eyes contains three different laws and possesses terrifying ocular techniques.
The three-headed clan is said to be immortal and indestructible, existing with the universe and living as long as heaven and earth.
Whether it's the Three-Armed Tribe, the Three-Eyed Three-Eyed, or the Three-Headed Tribe, each is divided into many branches. The Three-Eyed Giant Clan is one of the three-eyed races.
They not only possess terrifying ocular techniques, but also possess powerful physical bodies—truly formidable. Yue Xiaoqian looked at the corpse of the Three-Eyed Giant.
"Don't look into his eyes..." suddenly Yue Xiaoqian exclaimed.
"Pfft!"
But Yue Xiaoqian was still a step too late. Xia Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and Yue Xiaoqian hurriedly waved her jade-like hand, creating a white light screen that shielded Xia Chen.
"Wow...
Mo Nian was also affected, bending over and retching nearby, almost vomiting.
"What's going on?" Mo Nian's face turned pale with fear.
"The Three-Eyed Giant's eyes are closed, but there is a life-bound blood talisman on his eyelid. If you stare into his eyes and use your soul power to probe, it will trigger its power to counterattack." Yue Xiaoqian said.
"Can't even glance at your eyelids?" If I open my eyes like this, wouldn't I be doomed? Xia Chen's face turned pale with fear; this was a terrifying existence he could not comprehend.
"Damn, I got caught too. This is a bit strange. Logically, a dead being, even if their bodies are immortal and their bloodlines have solidified, shouldn't have any thought of fighting back. This is definitely not normal." Mo Nian said fiercely. He had just been struck by a vision and saw something extremely disgusting, almost vomiting on the spot.
"This three-eyed giant is probably a terrifying existence we've never seen before. We should be careful." Yue Xiaoqian was also somewhat alarmed; the realm of this Three-Eyed Giant was probably beyond their understanding.
"Forget about all that. You two keep an eye on things. I'm about to start the archaeological work."
After Mo Nian finished speaking, she took out a pair of gloves and a belt. The belt was covered with grooves, embedded with tools like axes, chisels, pliers, brushes, and tweezers.
Mo Nian put on a strange set of chainmail. Once she put it on, she was unaffected by the Three-Eyed Giant's pressure and climbed directly onto its shoulder. Then, to the shock of Yue Xiaoqian and Xia Chen, she took off one of the Giant's earrings.
Then there were the wrist guards, heart protection goggles, and a huge spiked club beneath its butt. It had to be said, Mo Nian was truly capable—he had all kinds of tools on him, and even lifting the giant of the three-eyed giant's massive body was effortless—everything was handled with ease.
After he put away these treasures, he began studying the sword at the center of the Three-Eyed Giant's brow. But after much time, he still didn't dare touch the sword.
"What a pity, I don't dare accept this corpse. If Long Chen saw it, he'd definitely drool. Forget it, I'll let him collect it later." Finally, Mo Nian looked at the corpse of the three-eyed giant and couldn't help but say helplessly.
Long Chen loved collecting all kinds of corpses, and everyone knew that. Unfortunately, no one dared to collect such corpses, so in the end, they had to give up.
The three of them spread their own visions and rapidly absorbed the chaotic energy here. Soon, all the chaotic energy was absorbed, and only then did the three crawl out of the coffin.
"Boom!"
The three had just crawled out of the coffin when a deafening explosion erupted. A figure shot toward them—it was Long Aotian.
