Chapter 2678 - 2677: The Elder in the Coffin, Qiu Baiyin’s Objective

On Ancestor Chaos's side, the numbers were clearly much smaller.

Aside from Ancestor Chaos, there were also Black Feather Daoist, Emperor Qin, Innate Fool, and Molten Rock Venerable.

Altogether five people.

Ancestor Chaos even glanced at the Thousand-Eyed Buddha Master beside him.

Because the other party was incredibly powerful.

If he could lend a hand, their chances of winning would greatly increase.

The Thousand-Eyed Buddha Master was not courteous.

He said directly, "I can help, but once the inheritance is found, I must be the first to choose."

"No problem," the group exchanged glances and finally agreed.

The Thousand-Eyed Buddha Master initially didn't want to get involved in such battles.

After all, these were people from the outside world, unrelated to his peculiar affairs.

But there was something within the inheritance that he needed.

He had only recently received the information, but ultimately he realized he was still a step late.

Subsequently, the entire battle began in earnest.

The eight Great Elders of the Black Dove clan, each one strong and reaching True Fate Completion.

They were only a step away from comprehending Cosmic Force.

Such strong individuals numbered eight.

Which showed the depth of their strength and heritage.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so arrogant.

At this moment, outside Black Mountain, cries for slaughter resounded throughout the heavens.

Some people even seized the chaos to rush into Black Mountain, hoping to fish in troubled waters.

And blood and screams filled the entirety of Black Mountain.

But that wasn't all.

Clashes between several strong individuals turned the sky dark and the earth dull, barriers shattering, and the ground sinking.

Seeing the chaos among the crowd, Qiu Baiyin observed the surroundings, noticing no one paying attention to him.

Qiu Baiyin murmured an incantation, clasped his hands, and in the next moment, his figure became invisible.

Not long after he vanished, Xu Zimei and Zhou Yanjun arrived.

"Did you see clearly just now?" Xu Zimei asked Zhou Yanjun.

Previously at the Dragon God Sect, Qiu Baiyin had used this method to leave amid the chaos.

Xu Zimei hadn't really paid attention back then.

Now being more cautious, he knew that Qiu Baiyin definitely harbored ill intentions.

"It's the Dragon God Sect's skin-shedding technique."

Zhou Yanjun understood at a glance.

"The true body and the false body coexist, allowing one to use space as their skin, masking themselves."

"It's another use of genetics; once you see it, it won't be surprising."

"It is said that the Dragon God Sect's crocodile dragons evolve once every period.

And during the evolution period, they are at their weakest."

"To prevent accidents, they studied this deceiving skin-shedding technique."

"I didn't expect Qiu Baiyin to have learned such a wide range."

"Can you find him?" Xu Zimei asked.

This genetic method indeed has unique qualities.

At least after he vanished, Xu Zimei's Divine Soul couldn't detect anything.

"Watch me," Zhou Yanjun said.

He murmured, and genetic patterns began to appear on his body's surface, constantly shifting.

Before long, a string of numbers appeared in the heavens and earth.

"I'm directly tracking his genes; no matter how he changes, it won't work."

Zhou Yanjun confidently stated.

"Then let's chase and see. I always feel something's amiss here," Xu Zimei said.

...…

Inside Black Mountain, this was the lair of the Black Dove clan.

Since they took over Black Mountain, no one had ever come here again.

No one knew what it had become now.

When Qiu Baiyin arrived here, he surveyed the surroundings, confirming no one noticed him.

Deep in Black Mountain appeared like a gorge.

On the sides of the gorge, countless caves existed.

The Black Dove clan typically lived in these caves.

Qiu Baiyin discerned the direction.

He took out an object resembling a compass from his hand.

Seemingly searching for something.

...…

He walked for about an hour.

Qiu Baiyin arrived in front of an ancient tomb.

This should be the burial place of deceased Black Dove clan members.

As far as the eye could see, it was filled with all sorts of graves.

Qiu Baiyin walked to a particular grave.

It was the one closest inside and appeared to be the largest in scale.

The compass in his hand began to spin violently, as if something was attracting it.

Qiu Baiyin slowly closed his eyes, seemingly sensing something.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, a patrolling member of the Black Dove clan spotted Qiu Baiyan.

Although the Black Dove clan outside was experiencing a battle, some of them remained within Black Mountain to guard the places crucially important to them.

Now seeing Qiu Baiyin, they attacked without a word, directly soaring towards him.

But Qiu Baiyin simply raised his hand.

Instantly, countless energy arrows were condensed and emitted from his hand.

A thousand arrows fired simultaneously.

Killing all the Black Dove clan members in an instant.

Then, Qiu Baiyin raised his hand once more.

The entire grave was flipped open.

"Boom—"

Inside the grave, a coffin was revealed.

The coffin was enormous, at least five to six meters tall, five to six meters long.

Above it was pure black, with golden adornments around.

Clearly, it was extraordinary.

Qiu Baiyin's large hand fell on the coffin, forcefully lifting the lid, revealing the interior scene.

Inside the coffin sat an elder cross-legged.

This elder was also from the Black Dove clan.

However, his body was grayish in color.

Sitting motionless as if he had died in a meditative state.

The elder's hair was several meters long, enveloping his entire body.

In front of the elder lay a sphere.

Its surface was also black.

The sphere floated in the void, emitting black gas which entered the elder's body.

This scene looked quite bizarre.

Clearly, it was a coffin meant for a corpse, yet such a scene unfolded.

"Found it, finally found it."

Qiu Baiyin's face showed a smile.

He walked step by step towards the coffin.

Suddenly, when he touched the coffin.

Countless black mist enveloped him.

As if wanting to corrode his body.

Qiu Baiyin slightly frowned, the surging power around him trying to dispel the black mist.

But at this moment, the corrosive mist feared none of Qiu Baiyin's power, erupted violently, and struck Qiu Baiyin's chest fiercely.

He himself didn't expect the black mist to be so brutal.

In the next moment, the coffin vibrated.

The elder, who had been motionless inside, began to rise.

His movements were slight, even giving off an impression of an old body, ready to fall apart at any moment.

The elder's sighs echoed.

"Thousands of years."

"I still couldn't comprehend the secret within."

"Could it be that this thing is truly unrelated to me?"

The elder spoke as he slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes had seen the vicissitudes of life, weathered countless storms.

It was difficult to describe what he had truly experienced.
