Chapter 679: Copper Coffin Reveals the Emperor's Form

**Chapter 683: The Bronze Coffin Reveals the Emperor's Body**

Ye Fan was in agonizing pain, as if he had been drawn and quartered. He had only used the "Soldier" character technique to lift a corner of the bronze coffin, without even truly touching it, yet it was draining his vital energy.

It was as if a Celestial King's treasure had been opened. A profound divine sound of the Great Dao resonated through heaven and earth, while a hazy aura of treasure light enveloped the bronze coffin, spreading outwards.

Many stretched their necks, observing from a distance, eager to discern what was buried within. Everyone was filled with shock and bewilderment.

However, many soon felt fear, involuntarily prostrating themselves as if before a supreme deity, filled with trepidation.

"Boom!" In the sky, the ancient mirror floated, becoming increasingly real. Previously a mere projection from the void, it now manifested authentically, ancient and majestic, cascading ten thousand feet of chaotic energy downwards.

The sight was utterly terrifying. A vast, white expanse, like ten thousand colossal waterfalls cascading from beyond the heavens, threatened to shatter one's spirit. Many cultivators could not withstand it and knelt down, trembling.

Both ancient treasures exhibited strange phenomena, causing widespread terror. Everyone was filled with profound dread. All sect master-level figures had long since fled unknown miles away, while most others had collapsed, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Even at an immense distance, sect master-level figures felt their hearts pound and were overcome with dread, let alone anyone else. The pressure was simply unbearable.

"Did you see it? What's inside the bronze coffin?" someone asked.

"It's pure chaos, like the creation of heaven and earth itself! Completely unfathomable!" someone exclaimed.

"How can this be? Whose Great Emperor's sacred relic is this, and why have we never heard of it?"

People were astonished to find that both artifacts were incredibly terrifying. No matter the distance, they instilled a soul-deep dread, compelling observers to involuntarily kneel in submission and reverence.

The Void Mirror's revival process was incredibly astonishing. Ten thousand feet of chaos, like a vast curtain descending from the sky, poured down—a boundless, white expanse that submerged everything.

The bronze coffin, conversely, resembled an ancient universe, continuously undergoing creation and collapse. Hazy light and mist obscured it, rendering it impenetrable and unfathomable, like an oceanic expanse of world essence.

"It blocked it! The bronze coffin withstood the Void Mirror's assault!"

"Ten thousand white waterfalls are pouring into the coffin... What's happening?"

"What is the origin of this coffin? How is this possible?"

People were horrified. A mere wisp of aura from the Supreme Ancient Mirror was enough to crush a Saint Lord. Now, with such an immense amount of chaotic light pouring down, no one in this world could possibly block it, yet the ancient coffin absorbed it all!

This sight was incomprehensible, surpassing their wildest imaginations. Was this the terrifying power of Supreme Dao artifacts? They were simply beyond human resistance.

At this moment, Ye Fan wrapped himself in immortal treasures from the Chaotic Dragon Nest and submerged into the Cauldron of Myriad Matter Mother Qi, barely managing to preserve himself. It must be noted that wielding the bronze coffin was also extremely harmful to him.

Presently, it was entirely due to the Void Mirror capturing the ancient coffin's attention. That mirror, having existed since ancient times, possessed immense destructive power, like a Great Emperor awakening, slaying gods and Buddhas in its path.

In the distance, some powerful figures screamed and coughed up blood, unable to withstand the divine energy that could devastate all things in heaven and earth.

It is known that in ancient times, Great Emperors could pluck stars and seize the moon, using Supreme Emperor artifacts to obliterate stars across numerous star regions. Their combat power was unimaginable!

"Ah...!" "How can this be?" someone in the distance screamed, prostrating in terror, coughing blood, and stumbling backward.

Fortunately, the Ji family's ancient divine metal palace was imbued with array patterns that teleported away those who had collapsed, otherwise they would have been pulverized into bloody paste by the invisible pressure.

Such was the power of an ancient Great Emperor's weapon. It had not even fully revived, yet even in the initial stages of its recovery, it exhibited such terrifying might that anything in its path would inevitably turn to ash.

"Let's see how long you can last, boy!" the Ji family's Eighth Ancestor said ominously from the sky. He and two elders stood beneath the ten thousand chaotic waterfalls. The Ancient Void Mirror was under their control, so the three of them were unaffected by the impact. Instead, they were enveloped by chaotic energy, protecting their bodies, making them seemingly impervious and unassailable.

Even a Saint would likely find themselves in trouble. An ancient Great Emperor's weapon, upon awakening, unleashes boundless divine power, possessing immortal and immense strength.

Ye Fan's heart tightened. The Ancient Void Mirror in the sky was reviving, and its power was becoming increasingly fearsome. He had to break the stalemate.

"Clang!" He once again activated the "Soldier" character technique, forcefully pushing open the bronze coffin's lid. The gap widened, as if the world itself was being created!

The first wisp of light shot forth, illuminating all things in heaven and earth. A primal chaos reappeared, and an ancient universe seemed to take form. The first divine sound rang out, like a Celestial King delivering a sermon, with auspicious omens descending from the sky and divine lotuses blossoming on the ground.

It was a terrifying and eerie scene. The bronze coffin was less than halfway open, simultaneously emitting various lights and sounds. A dense, hazy mist filled the area, making it impossible to see through.

"Boom!" Like thousands of galloping horses, all the great chaotic waterfalls cascaded down, rushing into the ancient coffin. It was incredibly terrifying, akin to ten thousand surging waves converging into a single whirlpool.

"It truly blocked the Void Mirror! This is a confrontation between Supreme Dao artifacts!"

The bronze coffin absorbed the chaotic light from the Ancient Void Mirror, continuously drawing it inward. It was like an immeasurable abyss, seemingly impossible to fill.

Ye Fan, being the closest, naturally wanted to peer inside the coffin. However, his divine sense felt like it was being pricked by needles, making it impossible to approach the coffin's interior.

Furthermore, had the Void Mirror in the sky not restrained the bronze coffin, causing its various lights and sounds to surge upward, Ye Fan would likely have been pulverized. Even with his immortal treasures and the Cauldron of Myriad Matter Mother Qi, he would have struggled to resist.

"No, I must see it clearly!"

Ye Fan gathered his divine consciousness and forcefully activated his spiritual perception, attempting to penetrate the ancient coffin to examine its contents closely.

"Ah...!" He screamed, blood dripping from his eyes. His Divine Source Eye was almost blinded, but he finally glimpsed a blurred outline: a corpse lay within!

"Impossible!"

Ye Fan was filled with shock. The corpse was incredibly cold, lying silently at the center of an ancient universe, amidst surging chaos, yet it remained eternally indestructible.

"How is it identical to me?!"

He could hardly believe it. The cold corpse in the ancient coffin was indistinguishable from him; if he were to lie beside it, no one would be able to tell the difference.

"Piercing through three thousand worlds!" In the distant sky, the Monkey King cried out, his Fiery Golden Eyes unleashing two divine rays that pierced the heavens and illuminated the sky before plunging into the bronze coffin.

"Ah...!" In an instant, the Monkey King also let out a pained scream. Blood streamed from his eyes, and he fell backward, utterly shocked, crying out, "Father, how could it be him!"

He saw an old ape whose entire body shone with brilliant golden fur. Although it was now a cold corpse, its aura of being peerless in heaven and earth, unrivalled by anyone, remained undiminished from its prime.

The ancient Emperor, who once looked down upon the world and disdained all ages—the Old Fighting Saint Emperor, famed for his combat and invincible throughout history—possessed an inimitable aura of dominating the heavens and sweeping across the universe.

At the same time, the Southern Demon's eyes shot out two strange lights, piercing through eternity, extraordinarily demonic and peerless, as if a demon god had opened its celestial eye!

Within the Demon Emperor's Palace lay a blood altar from which grew a Worldly Law Eye. With boundless magic power and the Dao power of a Great Emperor, one could use it to see through all the heavens and myriad worlds. The Southern Demon, however, had used this to hone his own Celestial Eye.

"Ah...!" He too let out a pained scream, his eyes bleeding profusely and nearly blinded. He wore an expression of disbelief, trembling as he cried, "How could it be him?!"

"Break through for me, perceive the origin!" the Red Dragon Daoist roared in a low voice. As a living entity, he possessed unparalleled combat power.

Two crimson dragons shot from his eyes, plunging into the ancient coffin as he sought to uncover its secrets. Yet, even someone as powerful as he was not immune; he let out a muffled groan, and blood welled from the corners of his eyes.

"The Demon Emperor!" Old Daoist Red Dragon exclaimed in astonishment, an expression of disbelief on his face. He had seen the supreme Demon Race Great Emperor, clad in green, inside the ancient coffin.

Everyone was greatly alarmed. What exactly was inside the ancient coffin? What each person saw was completely different. Who among them had truly discovered the truth?

"Summon the Great Emperor's phantom!" Just then, the Ji family's Eighth Ancestor roared from the high heavens. They began to activate the ancient mirror, unleashing a forbidden technique.

Once the Ancient Void Mirror was fully revived, an endless array of wondrous techniques would become available. However, being only in the initial stages of recovery, it could only employ forbidden techniques that consumed the least energy. An ancient Emperor then appeared within the mirror, and subsequently stepped out.

"The Void Great Emperor! That's the Void Great Emperor!" someone exclaimed in the distance. Hearing this, everyone was profoundly shocked, staring intently at the sky.

This was a shadow imprinted by the ancient mirror, left by a Great Emperor of old. Although not his true body, it possessed heaven-defying power and would be incredibly terrifying once summoned.

"Supreme Dao artifacts are truly astonishing! This is merely a forbidden technique with minimal consumption, conjuring only a phantom. If the ancient mirror were fully revived, its strike would be unparalleled, like the Great Emperor's true body!"

"Boom!" Even so, that blurry shadow was astonishing. It annihilated all surrounding space, bringing forth surging chaos that rushed toward the bronze coffin.

In the distance, everyone's faces turned pale. This single strike was enough to annihilate all Saint Lords; even combined, they couldn't resist. Such was the pressure of a Great Emperor's might; even as a phantom, it was unbeatable.

"Ah... What?!" the Ji family's Eighth Ancestor cried out in astonishment. He witnessed an incredible sight: the moment the phantom entered the bronze coffin, a star field manifested, and a lone corpse drifted within a dark and cold ancient universe.

"The Void Great Emperor!" His mind reeled, utterly horrified. He had never imagined witnessing such a scene. The Ji family possessed a portrait of the Void Great Emperor, and as an elder of the Ji family, he had naturally seen it.

"This is his Great Emperor's ancient coffin; he has returned from the desolate universe..." The Ji family's Eighth Ancestor was dumbfounded. Were they attacking the Void Great Emperor's coffin with his own weapon?

"Our ancestor buried himself in the endless void. Is this truly his coffin of rest, returning from beyond the realm?" the other two elders also exclaimed.

"Om!" The phantom plunged into the coffin, transforming into chaos and vanishing inside, never to reappear.

The bronze coffin trembled, emitting streams of hazy light and mist, and let out an even grander divine sound that reverberated through the sky, shaking people to their core.

"Plough!" The Ji family's Eighth Ancestor lost control of his mind and was grazed by a patch of light mist. Had it not been for the chaotic light's protection, he would surely have been reduced to dust. Even so, he screamed and plummeted.

"Collect!" Ye Fan drew him into the Cauldron of Myriad Matter Mother Qi. The ancient, vast cauldron, capable of containing boundless void, had ample internal space. Ye Fan descended from the sky, landing with his foot squarely on the Eighth Ancestor's face at the bottom of the cauldron.

"You little fiend, you..." "Pfft!" Ye Fan ground his foot, and the Eighth Ancestor spat out all his teeth, blood gushing forth, rendering him unable to utter another word.
