Everyone's eardrums ached from the loud impact, and many of them slammed into the stone walls, grimacing in pain.

"What happened?" Ma Heng asked. He had suffered the strongest impact and dislocated his arm.

Then, another impact crashed into the entire stone chamber. This time, everyone had anticipated it and braced themselves by grabbing the cracks to stabilize themselves against the second impact.

When the aftershocks faded, a massive crack appeared on the stone wall and began draining the water inside the chamber. The water level dropped rapidly as everyone returned to the ground.

"There's a crack here!" Tang Yang yelled. He saw a massive fissure not far ahead, draining all the water.

"A coffin!" Everyone could see a massive coffin on a platform through the crack, with nothing else in that chamber aside from it.

"Let's go quickly!" Ma Heng took the lead and rushed over, ignoring the injury to his arm. He feared that he would gain nothing if he entered late. Such a massive ancient coffin had to contain countless treasures, and he would be satisfied if he could get his hands on even one.

As the crack widened, it became easy for everyone to enter, since the water had already seeped underground.

They rushed into the chamber, including Liu Wuxie. This was the tomb's main chamber.

The coffin was massive, and Liu Wuxie had never seen one this large in his life. It was about fifty meters long and thirty meters wide. This massive coffin could easily hold over a hundred people.

The coffin rested on the platform, with nothing else around it.

"This is strange. Logically speaking, they should've placed the Gloomwood, the Yellow Springs Water, and the Limitless Ice in the three realms around the coffin."

The heaven realm was the head, the earth realm was the feet, and the human realm was the area above the coffin.

A cold wind swept through, sending a chill down everyone's spine. No one could comprehend what was going on, and after the wind swept past them, one person in the group had vanished.

"Old Sun, where are you?" A fifth-level Heavenly Immortal yelled when he noticed that his companion had mysteriously disappeared along with the cold wind.

Everyone's hearts tightened, including Liu Wuxie's. He began mustering his strength secretly, not daring to be careless. He had poised himself to strike at a moment's notice.

Everyone instinctively formed a circle, standing back-to-back. This ensured that they could detect the cold wind immediately, no matter which direction it came from.

With a loud crack, a skeleton fell from above and landed before everyone. It was the remains of the immortal who had disappeared earlier.

Everyone immediately looked up. Since entering the chamber, they had fixed their attention on the coffin and had not noticed their surroundings.

When everyone saw three clusters of cold wind, even Liu Wuxie could not help drawing a deep breath. He felt a surge of chill rising from the soles of his feet to his skull.

The three clusters of cold wind kept shifting their forms, from a piece of wood to a ball of water, then to an ice mountain.

"They are manifested from the Gloomwood, the Yellow Springs Water, and the Limitless Ice!" Deng Jun said.

After so many years, the three treasures had developed spiritual power, and they were the ones who had attacked the stone chamber earlier. They had probably formed their spirituality not long ago, but their bodies remained unstable, and their intelligence was low.

If they could devour these cultivators, the three treasures could undergo another evolution. By then, they would be able to flee this place and continue plundering, gradually evolving into even more powerful existences, perhaps even surpassing immortals.

"What should we do?" Ma Heng began trembling in panic. As for his arm, he had already popped it back into place.

"What else can we do? We need to find a way to kill them!" Shi Minghuo said. He regained his composure rapidly. They could not leave, as they were incapable of flight in this world. Even if they returned to the stone chamber, it would also be a dead end.

Moreover, the stone chamber was too small for them to fight, and they would still have at least a sliver of hope if they fought here.

Tang Yang stood to Liu Wuxie's right, wearing a grave expression.

"Wuxie, what should we do?" he asked. He had lost his composure at this point and pinned all his hopes on Liu Wuxie.

"Let's just wait and see how this plays out," Liu Wuxie replied. His gaze remained glued to the three clusters of cold wind. They were manifestations of energy from heaven and earth. If he could refine them, he would be able to reach the fifth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm.

As for the things in the coffin, he could not care much about them.

The Gloomwood suddenly vanished and charged into the crowd once more, followed by the Yellow Springs Water and the Limitless Ice. They had fought for countless years, and none of them could defeat the others. They all represented extreme cold treasures. If they devoured one another, they would be able to grow stronger.

However, they had restrained one another over the years, achieving balance and maintaining equilibrium.

When the Gloomwood attacked the Limitless Ice, the Yellow Springs Water would interfere. If the Yellow Springs Water attacked the Limitless Ice, the Gloomwood would interfere as well. Among the three, the Limitless Ice was relatively weaker.

The Gloomwood and the Yellow Springs Water knew that if they could devour the Limitless Ice, they would be able to advance in strength and devour the remaining one.

The Gloomwood turned into a cloud of mist and swiftly descended, making everyone feel as though they had fallen into an ice cavern. They stiffened. All kinds of immortal arts began clashing in midair, but none of them could inflict any damage on the Gloomwood.

None of the attacks landed as the targets lacked physical form. Then came the Yellow Springs Water, which transformed into a cloud of black miasma and descended from above.

Ma Heng lost control of his body and was enveloped by the Yellow Springs Water, vanishing at a rapid pace. He turned into a skeleton in an instant, with all his flesh and blood devoured.

After the Yellow Springs Water devoured the energy and laws in Ma Heng's body, its aura grew even stronger than before.

The ghost immortal flew out, summoning a jar-like artifact that released a powerful suction. Under that suction force, a portion of the Yellow Springs Water instantly lost control and burrowed into the jar.

He mainly used this artifact to collect yin energy for his cultivation, and he had not expected it to become useful at this moment.

The Limitless Ice attacked next, targeting Liu Wuxie and Tang Yang. The three extreme yin treasures had their own targets as they attacked and cooperated.

Tang Yang soon became somewhat flustered. He was an immortal, but he had never encountered something like this before. Treasures like the Gloomwood and the Limitless Ice should never have appeared in the mortal realm to begin with.

Deng Jun and Shi Minghuo were fighting furiously with the Gloomwood, trying to collect it. They had descended from the celestial realm, but they had come almost empty-handed, as they could not bring many items to the mortal realm. They only had immortal arts stronger than the ghost immortals'.

Liu Wuxie knew that he had no choice but to act now. If he continued waiting, the situation would become even more unfavorable for him. The ghost immortal had already collected a portion of the Yellow Springs Water, while Deng Jun and Shi Minghuo had acted against the Gloomwood.

"Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron!" Liu Wuxie summoned the ancestor of devouring. After all, no devouring ability could compare to the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron.

The moment the cauldron appeared, it manifested as a massive black hole that devoured the Limitless Ice.

"It's Liu Wuxie!" The moment Liu Wuxie summoned the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, everyone recognized him. Then again, they had not expected Liu Wuxie to be hiding among them.

Shi Minghuo and Deng Jun were the most shocked among the group.

"Liu Wuxie, die!" Deng Jun and Shi Minghuo gave up on the Gloomwood and attacked Liu Wuxie together. They each cast an immortal art, sending the Gloomwood flying without hesitation.

Then again, these were only phantom forms manifested by the treasures. If they had physical forms, even a Profound Immortal would not be able to do anything to the Gloomwood and the Yellow Springs Water.

Liu Wuxie sneered. "You think you two pieces of trash can kill me?" He cast the Great Five Elemental Immortal Art on the two.

"Help us to kill Liu Wuxie! After we collect the treasures here, we'll share them with everyone. We will even take you to the celestial realm with us!" Deng Jun yelled. He knew that just the two of them would not be able to kill Liu Wuxie.

After all, they had already struggled to suppress Liu Wuxie when he had only been at the second-level Heavenly Immortal Realm. Now that he had become a fourth-level Heavenly Immortal, killing him would be even harder than climbing to the heavens. They knew they would stand a chance only if they pooled everyone's strength.

However, strangely, none of the immortals moved. They had all witnessed Liu Wuxie's terrifying strength.

Except for one person, who launched a sneak attack on Liu Wuxie while he was unprepared. The ghost immortal had chosen to attack Liu Wuxie from behind.

"Ghost Immortal, you've gone way too far!" Tang Yang intervened, striking the ghost immortal with his palm.

Though Tang Yang was a seventh-level Heavenly Immortal with cultivation inferior to the ghost immortal's, keeping him busy for some time was not a problem. He could buy Liu Wuxie enough time to kill Deng Jun and Shi Minghuo before helping him deal with the ghost immortal.

"Get lost!" The ghost immortal unleashed his ghost art, further triggering the Gloomwood and the Yellow Springs Water. The yin energies allowed the two treasures' strength to rise rapidly.

"ARGH!" Three immortals vanished, devoured to the point that not even their bones remained.

The more they struggled, the stronger the treasures became. It did not take long for the human side to lose its advantage, and only half of them remained in the blink of an eye.

The slaughter continued, and Liu Wuxie had no time to care about the life and death of those immortals. Deng Jun and Shi Minghuo were extremely cunning, adopting a kiting approach to maintain their mobility and wear him down.

He knew that these two were stalling for time, waiting for Gan Xingzhou and the others to arrive. Once Gan Xingzhou arrived, they would be able to use their trump card against him.

Meanwhile, Tang Yang fought fiercely with the ghost immortal. Their cultivation was close, making it difficult for the ghost immortal to kill Tang Yang.

With a loud rumble, the Great Five Elemental Immortal Art locked onto Shi Minghuo and Deng Jun, sending them flying away.

However, the two possessed formidable physiques, as expected of immortals from the celestial realm. His attack only inflicted heavy injuries on them and failed to kill them.

Right at this moment, the Gloomwood and the Yellow Springs Water charged toward Liu Wuxie, who radiated the strongest energy among everyone present. Most of the other immortals had died, and yin energy had enveloped those who survived. Death was only a matter of time for them.

"I was just worried that you both wouldn't come. Since you both have come, I'll collect you two as well," Liu Wuxie said to the two clouds of mist, preparing to collect them.

The two clouds of mist had grown even stronger after killing most of the surrounding cultivators, making their phantom forms even more realistic.

"Let me die! Kill me!" the cultivators whose bodies were invaded by the yin energy wailed as they lay on the ground.
