Chapter 875: Opening the Main Tomb

Based on the situation before him, Xu Yang quickly deduced that this place likely contained traces of Yun Wangji's descendant bloodline.

Otherwise, the Jade Bone Divine Sword in his hand could not have been so easily attracted by a certain power.

Moreover, this power was incredibly formidable, even capable of completely breaking the Jade Bone Divine Artifact free from his control.

With such an aura present, Xu Yang grew even more eager to open the core area of the main tomb in this desert.

Finally, Xu Yang ascended into the air, summoning all five golden keys. They floated around his body, each emanating an incredibly powerful aura.

Undoubtedly, these five golden keys contained a portion of the Five Elements Formation's power, serving as the sole means to unlock these colossal tomb-prisons.

As expected, with the simultaneous appearance of the five golden keys, a remarkably dense sinister aura began to emanate from the opening of the Western Emperor's Main Tomb beneath Xu Yang's feet.

Xu Yang was no stranger to this aura; powerful, gloomy energies often gathered deep within sealed crypts that contained top-tier treasures.

Without hesitation, Xu Yang merged the five keys into one. With the intervention of his powerful spiritual energy, the combined key began to gradually penetrate the opening of the Western Emperor's Main Tomb below, and an immense pressure furiously disintegrated all surrounding sealing mechanisms.

Before long, the ground below began to tremble violently, undulating as if an ancient, slumbering gate to hell was slowly opening on both sides.

It was at this moment that Xu Yang finally saw an incredibly eye-catching golden light emanating from the central crack of the opened hell gate.

The powerful aura contained within this light momentarily astonished Xu Yang.

"This is a Tai Chi Totem!"

Xu Yang was familiar with this, as the first law he had independently developed on the Continents of All Heavens was the law of the Tai Chi Totem.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yang immediately unleashed his own Tai Chi Totem, attempting to create a resonance with the entrance to the Western Emperor's Tomb below. However, Xu Yang quickly realized that his Tai Chi Totem and the tomb entrance did not produce the expected resonant effect.

This was merely a portal, with no other elements mixed in!

However, just as Xu Yang was about to withdraw, an endless horde of nether soldiers silently surged out from the depths of the opened earth-wood gap.

At that moment, Xu Yang felt as if he were in the deepest part of hell. Seeing these nether soldiers surrounding him, he couldn't help but gasp.

The soul forms of these nether soldiers were distinctly different from the pure life forms condensed from sinister energy outside. Each nether soldier appeared to possess its own independent soul.

In other words, although they were in soul form, condensed from different elemental origins, they were independent, complete life forms, not mere energy-composed killing machines for the battlefield. Nether soldiers with independent souls were far more powerful in combat.

Without further hesitation, Xu Yang's Jade Bone Divine Sword once again soared into the air, unleashing endless, sharp sword gleams in all directions, relentlessly slaughtering the soul forms of the nether soldiers on the battlefield.

The slaughter was, of course, effective.

However, Xu Yang soon realized that while his offensive power was strong enough to eliminate every targeted individual instantly, his killing speed was far outpaced by the influx of new nether soldiers pouring out from the depths of the cave below.

Killing them wasn't as fast as their appearance, meaning that no matter how Xu Yang attacked, more and more enemies would emerge!

This was a dead end. Xu Yang absolutely would not allow such a situation to continue before him. Finding a way to curb the endless emergence of these nether soldiers was his most pressing task.

Just when he couldn't think of a better solution, the Moon Goddess's soul voice reappeared in his mind.

"Master, you can completely leverage the power of moonlight to summon the Elf Corps. Moonlight's unique purification attribute can perfectly suppress the soul forms of these nether soldiers."

Guided by the Moon Goddess, Xu Yang unhesitatingly followed her instructions. Soon, an endless stream of moonlight elf warriors emanated from behind him.

These little elves appeared transparent and charming, but once they entered the battlefield, their incredibly powerful evolutionary ability to devour all darkness and evil astonished Xu Yang.

Every life form shimmering with silver moonlight possessed an unimaginable ability to purify darkness.

These nether soldiers, without a doubt, were now targeted by these irresistible adversaries.

Wherever the elf contingent passed, vast numbers of nether soldiers met their demise. Once embraced by these moonlight elves, the nether soldiers were utterly powerless to resist, disintegrating into ashes and vanishing into the void.

With the aid of the Elf Corps, Xu Yang no longer needed to fear the ceaselessly emerging nether soldiers. He swiftly completed the purification of the Western Emperor's Tomb entrance, which was shaped like a Tai Chi pattern.

After completely annihilating the nether soldiers, Xu Yang calmly walked towards the cavernous crypt entrance below.

Darkness enveloped him. After a long period of silence, Xu Yang regained his five senses and his perceptive abilities, slowly advancing deeper into the Western Emperor's Tomb.

He continued until he saw a dark-golden ancient coffin suspended in mid-air. An invisible pressure silently gathered around the coffin.

The intensity of this oppressive aura indicated the most powerful sealing force Xu Yang had ever encountered on the Yingzhou Continent.

In such a short time, it was impossible to discern who was behind this terrifying power.

Xu Yang smirked coldly. With a raise of his hand, he simultaneously activated the nine energy vortices within his body, releasing such a powerful aura that it almost caused the entire crypt to tremble.

"Heh, today I'd like to see if even your formidable seal can withstand my power!"

As Xu Yang finished speaking, an incomparable primal power condensed within his fists, erupting with a thunderous roar!

Two precise fist strikes slammed directly onto the main seal of the Western Emperor's Coffin, shattering the sealing light curtain before him into countless crack patterns.

As several cracks appeared, a peculiar aura seemingly sealed within the Western Emperor's Coffin resonated with a broken ancient jade pendant hanging around Xu Yang's neck, causing the jade's faint glow to intensify.

This further solidified Xu Yang's conviction: a secret related to the ancient jade was undoubtedly sealed within this ancient coffin!
