Chapter 1271: Devouring the me
Trantor: Noodletown Tranted Editor: Noodletown Tranted
Proud and happy, Qingfeng Li smiled at Linger Yao. This was the first time this demonplimented him.
"Qingfeng, can you break this array formation?" Linger Yao asked him.
After a moment’s thought, Qingfeng Li replied, "I’ll give it a try."
Qingfeng Li could already tell that the fire array formation on this red coffin was very different from the nine array g formations outside the Spirit Emperor Cave.
Using the knowledge in his mind, he observed the red fire array formation carefully.
The red fire array formation was made of 99 me flowers, each with five pedals in the shape of a heart.
A reddish glow was circling these five-pedal flowers like rays of red light.
The defense powers of this array formation were astounding.
Still in awe, Qingfeng Li put his palm on top of the mes and felt its high temperature. It was at least a couple thousand degrees Celsius.
Qingfeng Li’s steel-like Mortal Purgatory Body and Golden mes helped him withstand this incredibly high temperature.
Other self-cultivators would have burnt their hands off if they even dared to ce their palms on top of this coffin.
Swoop!
Red mes shot out of the coffin right at Qingfeng Li.
It was the true mes of the fire array formation; the red bolt of mes carried great power.
Qingfeng Li reached out his right palm and caught the red mes. Grasping it in his hand, he crushed it into pieces, burning out the mes.
These mes were very hot, but they were nothing for him. He extinguished it with a small clench of his hand.
Swoop, swoop, swoop, swoop...
Dozens of red mes shot out of the coffin; the mes transformed into burning pirs and sped towards at Qingfeng Li.
It was like Qingfeng Li had punched a hole in a beehive, and now they were alling after him, hot and angry.
These mes were bloody red and immensely powerful, shocking anyone whoid eyes on them.
Qingfeng Li channeled the energy in his body to create a golden protective veil around his body, hoping to stop the attack of the mes.
These mes belonged to an emperor-level array formation – they easily crushed Qingfeng Li’s golden light veil and aimed themselves directly at his body.
Just as Qingfeng Li was about to use his fist techniques to stop the attack, the Golden me in his body became restless, as if it wanted to swallow the mes up.
Shocked, Qingfeng Li wondered what was wrong with his Golden me. Was it hungry?
Releasing it from his body and cing it on his right palm, he created a streak of golden mes.
Like a giant monster, it opened its mouth and swallowed the red mes in the blink of an eye.
All the mes disappeared into the Golden me’s "body."
Qingfeng Li could feel that the Golden me’s temperature and powers increased significantly as if some mysterious power was awakening. He felt all these changes in his body.
Linger Yao’s expression turned into surprise upon seeing Qingfeng Li swallowing the red mes.
Qingfeng Li’s mes swallowed the mes of emperor-level array formation – this was equivalent to a Spirit-Emperor Realm attack, and not everyone could manage it.
Controlling the Golden me in his right palm, he approached the red coffin.
cing it on top of the coffin so that it could absorb all the energy, the Golden me then swallowed the rest of the red mes.
Although the array formation atop the red coffin was emperor-leveled and discharged mes simr in strength to Spirit Emperor Realm Attacks, it became defenseless in front of the golden me, like an ant that crossed paths with an elephant. It could do nothing but be swallowed by the Golden mes.
The Golden me was one of the top 100 mes in the universe. With boundless energy, it was the mes of the Golden Saint and easily swallowed any red mes.
After swallowing the mes on the coffin, it transformed it into energy for itself.
The temperature of the Golden me rose again, and Qingfeng Li felt the mes be more ustomed to him, making it easier to control.
"Qingfeng Li, you’re so powerful! I can’t believe you cultivated and absorbed an emperor-level array formation," Linger Yao eximed in surprise. This was the second time Linger Yao praised Qingfeng Li.
As the number one cultivator of the Demonic Dao, Linger Yao was the absolute authority and power of her faction.
But now, Linger Yao admired Qingfeng Li from the bottom of her heart.
Qingfeng Li smiled faintly, "I’ve devoured the fire array formation on the red coffin, so you’ll probably be able to open it now."
"Great, let me try." Linger Yao smiled back at him. Holding out a right palm, Linger Yao pushed hard at the coffin lid.
Ka!
With a loud crack, the red coffin’s lid fell onto the ground at Linger Yao’s touch, revealing its insides.
Qingfeng Li and Linger Yao peered into the coffin and saw a red skeleton.
A red skeleton?
They exchanged nces, seeing the surprise in the other person’s eyes.
Dead people’s skeletons were white, turning grey after oxidization, and ck after cremation. No one had ever seen red bones before.
Linger Yao reacted first, "Qingfeng Li, I wonder if the Fire Emperor wasn’t a self-cultivator, nor that of Earth. He might be a self-cultivator of another."
Qingfeng Li said with a frown on his face, "What gave you such an idea?"
Linger Yao answered, "I once read an ancient book that belonged to the Demonic Peacock Empress. The book said that some self-cultivators from outer space had red bones, just like this one."
Qingfeng Li nodded, he knew how big this universe was – Earth was just one of a billion stars.
The bones of dead people on Earth were white, but other extraterrestrial humanoid beings may have red, ck, or even gold bones. Different colors symbolized different characteristics.
Why would an emperor-level powerhousee to Earth? What were his intentions?
Qingfeng Li and Linger Yao would never find out. Their only target, for now, was the treasure inside the coffin.
