Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1055 - 1053: The Nine Dragons King’s Coffin [Second Update]

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1053: The Nine Dragons King’s Coffin [Second Update]

In the vast tomb chamber.

Nine stone coffins quietly floated in mid-air, connected by thick black iron chains.

The stone coffins were heavy and majestic, with mysterious runes carved all around them. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Quietly suspended, they blocked everyone’s way forward.

Amongst them, one coffin lid had already been opened, leaving it empty inside as if whatever had been there had long since disappeared.

Ning Delun’s face was grave and complex as he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "It was here that we arrived back then, unwittingly triggered a mechanism that nearly led to our entire force being wiped out. And this eye of mine came from the coffin that was opened!"

Everyone looked together at the nine stone coffins in front of them.

The runes on the coffins were ancient and full of vicissitude.

They did not recognize the meaning of the runes.

But Xiao Yi understood the significance of the nine stone coffins from the runes.

After all.

Among the inheritances he had received were several from legendary figures who lived in Ancient Times.

These runes were the long-lost ancient texts!

The content recounted the life stories and significance of the beings buried within the nine stone coffins.

"You should feel fortunate; not only did it allow you to escape with your life, but it also granted you an eye of an Ancient Sky-Devouring Dragon..."

Looking at Ning Delun, Xiao Yi then said, "These nine stone coffins are known as the Nine Dragon Kings’ Coffins, each containing the remains of a Dragon Clan monarch. The coffin that you opened contains the eyeball of a Taigu Sky-Devouring Dragon, and the remaining eight coffins each intern fragments of the eight other Dragon Clan monarchs’ remains..."

Xiao Yi’s gaze swept over the Nine Dragon Kings’ Coffins.

Eight stone coffins.

Buried therein were the Golden Dragon’s claw, the Black Dragon’s horn, the Demon Dragon’s tendon, the Heavenly Dragon’s reverse scale, the Sea Dragon’s tail, the Earth Dragon’s bone, the Fire Dragon’s lung, and the Azure Dragon’s skin...

Together with the eye of the Taigu Sky-Devouring Dragon.

They composed the Nine Dragon Kings’ Coffins.

Linked together, they connected the auras of the nine Dragon Clan monarchs to one another, serving as the final barrier to the main entrance of the Dragon Emperor Tomb.

To pass the Nine Dragon Kings’ Coffins, one must simultaneously open all nine coffins and subdue the bodies of the buried Dragon Clan monarchs within.

Only then could one create the key to unlock the main tomb chamber.

Opening any single coffin would disrupt the balance of energy within the Nine Dragon Kings’ Coffins, triggering destructive mechanisms and traps to utterly annihilate the intruders.

The reckless opening of just one coffin by Ning Delun and his group in the past had caused an energy imbalance in the Nine Dragon Kings’ Coffins, encountering a catastrophic disaster.

Ning Delun was also one with defiant fortune to have escaped with his life in such a situation.

Listening to Xiao Yi’s explanation, Ning Delun’s face showed a look of astonishment as he bitterly smiled and said, "So that’s how it is, we must subdue the interned Dragon Clan monarchs by simultaneously opening all nine coffins; otherwise, no matter which one we chose, it would’ve been the wrong choice. Our failure back then was not because we chose the wrong coffin; regardless of our choice, the outcome would have been the same..."

Ning Delun felt as if a shackle in his heart had shattered with a clinking sound.

It was he who had made the choice to open that coffin that year!

Over these years...

He had been blaming himself for the choice he made back then, believing it was his decision that led to everyone’s death.

Now, hearing what Xiao Yi had said, it seemed that no matter which they had chosen, the result would have been the same.

Qiu Yiyun said, "Lord Xiao, you say that to enter the main tomb, we must simultaneously open the nine stone coffins and subdue the interned and suppressed remains of the Dragon Clan monarchs to transform them into a key. But now that Ning has the Ancient Sky-Devouring Dragon’s eye, would opening another coffin still cause an imbalance in the Nine Dragon Kings’ Coffins and trigger the mechanism?"

Xiao Yi nodded slightly: "That is certain, all nine Dragon Clan monarchs’ remains need to be suppressed at the same time."

Qiu Yiyun’s face showed a slight change of expression, opening her mouth as if to speak, but then she stopped herself.

Seeing her reaction, Ning Delun smiled and said, "Isn’t it just a matter of taking out the Taigu Sky-Devouring Dragon’s eye? This thing has followed me for so many years; it’s time to return it!"

"Ning, you..."

Qiu Yiyun frowned and looked at him.

Ning Delun chuckled heinously, his mouth full of yellow teeth appearing particularly lewd: "What is predestined will eventually come to pass; what is not, cannot be forced. Lord Xiao has unraveled the puzzles in my heart, and besides, this Taigu Sky-Devouring Dragon having only a left eye, without finding its right eye, would be a burden to carry with me. Lord Xiao, let’s get started!"

His face was filled with acceptance.

That caused Qiu Yiyun to forcibly swallow back the words she was about to say.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Worry not, it’s just the left eye. I’ll find you another eye to install later!"

"Thank you, Lord Xiao!"

Ning Delun grinned, his hand already on his eye, ready to dig out the left eye at any moment.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, and with a fierce wave of his hands.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Eight divine forces of sealing transformed into massive palms, grabbing the eight stone coffins and suddenly exerting force.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

All eight stone coffins were lifted into the air at the same time.

Almost simultaneously...

Ning Delun’s fingers violently plunged into his eye socket and with a gory squelch, gouged out his left eyeball.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh...

Nine rays of light shot up into the sky.

Transforming into nine pillars of light.

Within those pillars of light...

The claw of the Golden Dragon, the horn of the Black Dragon, the tendon of the Demon Dragon, the reverse scale of the Heavenly Dragon, the tail of the Sea Dragon, the bone of the Earth Dragon, the lung of the Fire Dragon, the hide of the Azure Dragon, and the eyeball of the Taigu Sky-Devouring Dragon all ascended into the air together.

Majestic...

A series of loud, ear-splitting dragon roars echoed, majesty shaking the heavens.

Golden Dragon, Black Dragon, Demon Dragon, Heavenly Dragon...

Nine dragon spirits circled in the mid-air, their cold and imposing gazes fixed unwaveringly on Xiao Yi and his group, and the nine dragon spirits spoke in unison: "This is the resting place of the Dragon Emperor. Those who trespass—shall die!"

Their majestic voices thundered like a storm shaking the heavens, deafening all listeners.

Xiao Yi’s lips curled into a mocking cold smile: "Presumptuous remnants dare to be so arrogant? You cannot stop me, be suppressed by me!"

Xiao Yichong soared into the sky.

He stood alone against nine!

Facing the residual spirits of nine Dragon Clan monarchs, he showed not the slightest hint of fear.

With the speed of lightning and carrying the force of thunderous ferocity, he acted decisively.

His figure suddenly split into nine avatars.

Invincible King Fist!

Infinite Sword Canon!

Four Symbols Heavenly Imprisoning Finger...

Xiao Yi’s assaults were fierce and violent, under his relentless barrage of attacks.

The nine dragon spirits were shattered.

They turned into nine fragments of residual bodies, suspended mid-air.

Xiao Yi reached out with one hand towards the void: "Converge for me!"

Hum!

The force of sealing swirled around, forming a vortex.

Encircling the nine fragments and spinning continuously, they collided with each other and finally merged into one.

Crack!

A dragon-shaped key floated in mid-air.

With a wave of Xiao Yi’s hand.

The dragon-shaped key whizzed and fell into Xiao Yi’s hands.

This key, cool to the touch, was indeed the sole credential for unlocking the main chamber of the Dragon Emperor Tomb!

"As expected of Lord Xiao, to face the assault of nine dragon spirits comparable to the Heaven Venerate Realm so effortlessly!"

"We’ve finally gotten our hands on the key to the main chamber of the Dragon Emperor Tomb; we can now witness the true face of this Dragon Emperor Tomb!"

Everyone spoke excitedly.

But just at that moment...

A crisp slap sound came from behind, followed by Long Yi’s voice, containing suppressed excitement: "You even managed to break the Nine Dragon Kings’ coffins; no wonder you were able to reach here first and claimed all those treasures along the way. However, your good luck ends here. Hand over the key, and you can quietly meet your death, Xiao Yi..."
