Chapter 1268: Killing the Zombie Emperor
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
"Zombie Emperor, I'm going to smack you back into your sh*tty coffin today." Qingfeng Li looked at the Zombie Emperor, intense killing intent in his eyes.
"You don't know your place! As a mere Spirit King Realm fighter, you're overestimating yourself if you think you can kill me." With the black bottle in hand, the Zombie Emperor looked at him with disdain.
Swoosh!
He aimed the bottle opening at Qingfeng Li and shot out a beam of black light.
Qingfeng Li's right hand pushed forward and shot out a gold flame which burned the black light beam into nothing.
"What?! You burned the light from my black bottle spiritual treasure." The Zombie Emperor's expression changed to astonishment.
The fact was that ordinary fires were useless against the Zombie Emperor and it was natural for him to be astonished when his powerful spiritual treasure attack was blocked by the fire from Qingfeng Li.
"Such powerful fire." A trace of amazement appeared on Linger Yao's charming face.
The golden flame continued its course, and, like a golden lightning bolt, it scorched a big hole in the chest of the Zombie Emperor in a blink of an eye.
Ahh!
The Zombie Emperor screamed pathetically, eyes full of pain. He couldn't withstand the extremely high heat in the golden flame.
"Damn it! It is the flame of the Golden Saint. How did you get it?" the Zombie Emperor was stunned when he recognized the flame.
The golden flame was very famous on Earth as one of the top 100 powerful flames in the universe. Its name had awed the whole Earth during the ancient era, and many powerful self-cultivators had heard about it.
The Zombie Emperor had heard about the fire and even read a detailed introduction of it in an ancient book.
The golden flame didn't go out, instead spreading from the Zombie Emperor's chest to his belly, neck, head, and four limbs until nothing was left.
The unrivalled cultivator, the Zombie Emperor, met his natural enemy in the golden flame, against which he had absolutely no resistance. He was burned into a pile of ash.
With a thought, Qingfeng Li retrieved the golden flame back into his body.
At this time, Black Puppy walked over and said, "This is the Spirit Emperor Cave but why didn't we find any treasures here?"
Linger Yao walked over, her charming face also full of bafflement.
As a supreme existence and the unrivaled figure in the self-cultivation world, the Spirit Emperor Cave was supposed to have many treasures. But besides the Zombie Emperor and a black coffin, nothing was in there. It was truly unbelievable.
Qingfeng Li was deep in thought. He didn't think there would only be a coffin in the tomb of a Spirit Emperor Realm master.
And, he had a feeling that the Zombie Emperor was not the real Spirit Emperor Realm master or the owner of the cave. The owner must have been someone else.
Ignoring the pile of ash which was the remains of the Zombie Emperor, Qingfeng Li walked towards the black coffin.
He thought it was not a simple black coffin since he sensed a special presence from it. He extended his right hand and felt the surface of the coffin.
It was almost the same as an ordinary coffin except it was longer and bigger. Besides, it was made with special meteorite and on the surface of it was engraved many complex and mysterious patterns of demonic beasts and plants.
When his fingers touched the patterns, Qingfeng Li was surprised to sense vital essence fluctuations. The coffin was very unusual.
Flower Fairy asked, "Big Brother Li, did you find anything?"
Qingfeng Li nodded, saying, "There are vital essence fluctuations in the coffin. I suspect there is some trick hidden inside this coffin and there is more in the cave."
Qingfeng Li had this suspicion because he thought it was not the burial tradition for a Spirit Emperor Realm strong master to have nothing in the coffin.
Like the ancient emperors, a Spirit Emperor Realm master would put many treasures in his coffin. While the burial objects for the emperors were pearls, jade, and gold, a Spirit Emperor Realm master would have cultivation technique scrolls, spiritual treasures, and spiritual devices buried with him.
Qingfeng Li had a feeling that the Zombie Emperor was not the owner of the cave abode but a self-cultivator who had turned into a corpse and absorbed vital essence here. The burial place of the true Spirit Emperor Realm master should be somewhere else.
Black Puppy walked over and nodded. It agreed with Qingfeng Li and found the place quite unusual too.
Qingfeng Li and the others surrounded the coffin, touching its surface carefully with their hands, trying to find a clue.
Xianzhi Qin frowned slightly at the patterns on the black coffin. She felt she had seen them somewhere but couldn't remember where.
Qingfeng Li noticed her puzzlement and asked, "Miss Qin, what did you find?"
After a moment's consideration, Xianzhi Qin said, "I find the patterns on the coffin quite familiar but can't understand why."
At her words, Qingfeng Li looked at where she was staring at.
On the front and back of the coffin engraved many patterns of demon beasts, plants, mountains and rivers, just like the pictures one saw on Earth. It was quite natural that Xianzhi Qin had seen them before.
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li's eyes sharpened. He looked closely at one pattern of mountains and river and found it similar to the scenery of Tai Mountain.
Among the eight famous mountains in Huaxia, Tai Mountain was the most well-known one.
In the ancient times, that was the place where powerful and able emperors worshipped and offered sacrifices to the heaven.
Tai Mountain was a symbol of Huaxia and there were many myths and legends related to it.
In the ancient times, some immortals lived and cultivated there while some emperors set up sacrificial altars there to worship the heavens.
And it was natural for Qingfeng Li to be astonished that a picture of Tai Mountain had been engraved on the surface of a black coffin.
Black Puppy walked to Qingfeng Li and asked, "What did you find?"
Qingfeng Li pointed at the picture on the coffin, saying, "The mountain picture on it is the same as Tai Mountain.
Black Puppy took a good look of it and a trace of surprise appeared in its eyes. It found the mountain picture was indeed the same as Tai Mountain since it had been there before.
