Chapter 1047: Chapter 454: The Whole World as an Enemy

The storage ring left by the Mountain Ancestor contains three layers of space.

Ning Qi’s spiritual sense explored the innermost layer, which was the core space, completely pitch-black with occasional bright flashes, resembling a starry sky.

At the center of this starry sky, a moldy green glow flickered gently.

When Ning Qi looked closely, he realized it was a moldy green Bronze Immortal Coffin.

The Bronze Coffin was utterly solitary, its age unknown, covered in patches of verdigris, faintly revealing intricate patterns beneath.

As soon as Ning Qi entered, he was drawn to it, sensing the Immortal Dao Aura emanating from within.

"Another Immortal?"

Ning Qi remained cautious, and his spiritual sense reached out to the Bronze Immortal Coffin.

However, upon contact, the immortal radiance emanating from the coffin flickered even more intensely.

Ning Qi struck out with his palm.

The spiritual sense condensed into a giant palm, reaching across space to grasp the Bronze Immortal Coffin instantly.

Surprisingly, the Bronze Immortal Coffin remained completely immobile, unaffected!

Ning Qi found it hard to believe.

Not sensing any immediate danger, he decided to try with all his might.

The giant palm created by his spiritual sense tightly gripped the Bronze Immortal Coffin, emitting a low thud upon contact.

A thread of Immortal Dao Power from the Yin Yang Dao Map within Ning Qi’s soul supported the giant palm, continuing to pull the bronze coffin.

However, the bronze coffin was like a stubborn stone stuck in the ground, refusing to budge.

"Even with Immortal Power, it doesn’t work?"

As Ning Qi pondered in confusion, he suddenly felt the Immortal Power in his hand rapidly dissipating, as if absorbed by the Immortal Coffin.

"Is this coffin siphoning my power?"

Ning Qi immediately ceased the supply of Immortal Power, but bizarrely, the Bronze Coffin seemed like an activated abyss, making it impossible for him to withdraw the power.

Even at this moment, the spiritual sense’s giant palm was adhered to the surface of the bronze coffin, unable to detach.

A continuous stream of Immortal Dao Power was relentlessly being absorbed into the Immortal Coffin.

Ning Qi’s expression inevitably changed.

Fortunately, he hadn’t used his full strength earlier; he had only probed with the Immortal Dao Aura within him, which contained another kind of power that was entirely opposite!

In an instant, the yang fish within Ning Qi’s soul moved, releasing a wisp of Infinite Evil Qi, swiftly transferring it to the Bronze Immortal Coffin.

With the addition of the Infinite Evil Qi, the Bronze Immortal Coffin, which had been absorbing Ning Qi’s Immortal Power, began to tremble within moments.

The verdigris on it faintly trembled, shaking off quite a bit.

The entire Immortal Coffin seemed as if poisoned, and the next second, it spewed out a large amount of Immortal Power.

It seemed to have swallowed something foreign and had no choice but to expel it.

Ning Qi instantly noticed that the giant palm formed by his spiritual sense was no longer stuck to the Immortal Coffin, finally allowing for a retreat.

Instead of stepping back, Ning Qi took a step forward, arriving directly in front of the Immortal Coffin.

He slightly cupped his right palm, scooping through the void like a spoon.

The large amount of Immortal Power spewed by the coffin was instantly gathered by Ning Qi into a mass.

Looking at the Immortal Power in his hand, Ning Qi found it different from the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Power.

The Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Power was like the radiance of a full moon, pure to the extreme, whereas the Immortal Power expelled by this Bronze Immortal Coffin surprisingly also took on a bronze hue.

Ning Qi instantly connected it to the Bronze Door that had appeared when the Mountain Ancestor became immortal.

"Could it be that within this Immortal Coffin lies an Immortal Body, whose gathered Immortal Door was a Bronze Door?"

Ning Qi could only speculate as such.

After the earlier tremor, the Immortal Coffin immediately returned to tranquility.

Even when Ning Qi stood before it, there was no further reaction.

"You inside, come out!"

Ning Qi shouted coldly at the Bronze Immortal Coffin.

"Playing dead, are you!"

Ning Qi sent another wisp of Immortal Power into it, but the coffin remained unresponsive.

"Not absorbing anymore?"

Ning Qi transformed his power into Infinite Evil Qi and continued to direct it towards the coffin.

The Immortal Coffin still showed no reactions.

Ning Qi couldn’t help but frown.

This damned thing was utterly resistant now?

In the next moment, he merged the two powers together and attempted to lift the coffin lid. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Based on its previous reactions, there might be something alive inside this Bronze Immortal Coffin.

Bang! Bang!

Ning Qi tried vigorously, yet couldn’t lift the lid at all.

Considering that the merged powers were enough to slay the Mountain Ancestor after becoming an immortal, failing to even budge the Bronze Immortal Coffin was puzzling to Ning Qi.

Ning Qi developed a sense of curiosity.

What exactly lay within this Bronze Immortal Coffin, a human, a ghost, an immortal, or something else?

Why was there no longer any reaction?

Logically, if an Immortal resided within, their strength would likely be no greater than that of the Mountain Ancestor.

Yet Ning Qi was unable to open the coffin lid, leaving him perplexed.

Ning Qi stepped back slightly and suddenly breathed a Dao Flame onto the coffin.

The flame enveloped the Immortal Coffin, causing the verdigris to crackle as it burned away.

Gradually, the entire coffin shed its verdigris, revealing even more prominent inscriptions.

The inscriptions covered the coffin, leaving a circular pattern at the top of the lid.

Within the circle was engraved an extremely ancient script, which Ning Qi found himself unable to recognize.

"What does this mean, and what exactly is this thing that is so tightly sealed?"

Ning Qi, feeling helpless, could only temporarily give up exploring the Bronze Immortal Coffin.

He glanced around; in this core space, besides the Immortal Coffin, some peculiar decorations were scattered.

To the east of the Immortal Coffin stood a bronze, tree-like figure.
