"Okay, I'll do it!" Chu Qin said with a calm smile, and without another word, he entered the Nether King Soul Guide Device.
"Eh, young friend Chu Qin, where did you get this thing from?" Shi Tian Di exclaimed in surprise.
Chu Qin didn't explain much to Shi Tian Di. Driven by his will, the Nether King flew straight toward the Cang Qiong. He then gathered all his Divine Power and pushed it above Pixiu City.
Supreme Gods can usually move stars with a wave of their hand, but the Nether King seemed to have some difficulty moving Pixiu City.
Nevertheless, it was eventually moved.
And so, Chu Qin, piloting the Nether King, pushed Pixiu City until it finally landed on the ground with a thunderous sound.
Next, the Star Stone shone brightly, forming a Dimensional Vortex!
"We did it!" Everyone was exhilarated, and Xiaowu hugged Chu Qin excitedly.
"Inside should be the Pixiu Tomb. According to the inscriptions on the Star Stone, there are no more formations or mechanisms below; we can safely enter," said Luo Yiyi, thrilled.
"Good, I'll take the lead!" Chu Qin said with an easy smile.
"Thank you all for leading the way, but the Pixiu Treasure and the Pixiu Corpse Driver are now mine!" However, just then, a ghostly voice echoed from nowhere.
The voice carried terrifying energy fluctuations that caused everyone's eardrums to throb in pain.
"Who is it!" Chu Qin's pupils contracted slightly as he spoke.
No sooner had Chu Qin spoken than the Void in front of them was torn apart, and an old monk appeared.
He was dressed in a black monk's robe, holding prayer beads, looking majestic with a dignified halo around him, and strangely, his pupils were purplish-black. Furthermore, his bald head didn't bear the usual scars of vows; instead, it was lined with demonic patterns that looked extremely sinister!
"The Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family, the Ever-young Monk!" Luo Tianyun recognized the person in an instant.
"The Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family!" Including Chu Qin, everyone present gasped in shock.
"The Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family was once one of the Ancient Families, but they fell from grace when the seals of their cursed lineage were broken, releasing a great calamity. By rights, they should have been annihilated by our Ancient Families long ago. How could they appear here!" Luo Yiyi explained, "It seems he has been following us all along, and those destroyed warships outside must have been his doing."
"Haha! You all overestimate the strength of your Ancient Families!" retorted the Ever-young Monk. "With that great being supporting us, not only can your Ancient Families not destroy us, but even the people from the Supreme God Court couldn't muster it. Enough talk, Luo Tianyun, you haven't yet overcome a calamity; you're no match for me!"
"As for you," the Ever-young Monk turned to Chu Qin, "you too will perish under my Buddha Palm within ten moves."
"Ten moves? You think too highly of yourself!" Chu Qin's gaze sharpened as he spoke.
The Ever-young Monk smiled faintly, and ten crimson halos lit up behind him.
The next second, a vast and terrifying energy burst forth, instantly replacing the clear blue sky and white clouds with dark demonic clouds, and within those clouds emerged a gargantuan demonic silhouette, as imposing as a star!
The sight was dreadfully shocking, shaking the soul of every observer!
"This is bad, he has also transcended the Second Calamity and is not bound by the formation!" exclaimed both Shi Tian Di and Luo Tianyun in surprise.
"Second Calamity, so what!" Chu Qin said with a dismissive smile, "I've faced greater challenges before!"
"Young friend Chu Qin, if your Divine Power weren't restricted, perhaps you could fight him. But as you are now, it's impossible for you to defeat him," Shi Tian Di said.
"Senior Shi Tian Di, are you suggesting...!" Chu Qin understood what Shi Tian Di was implying.
"I had hoped to see the day you would dominate the universe, but it seems that this old man has to leave you ahead of time," Shi Tian Di sighed.
It was evident that Shi Tian Di intended to use his last ounce of strength to confront the Ever-young Monk.
"Great Ancestor!" Shi Yao cried out in deep sorrow.
Shi Xun Dao and Shi Xun Xian, among others, seemed to have realized something as well, showing a look of sorrow.
"Yao Yao, Chu Qin is an exceptional man; live well with him!" Shi Tian Di said with a light smile.
As soon as Shi Tian Di's voice fell, he had already transformed into a beam of thousand-zhang golden light, leaving Chu Qin's body.
Within that beam of golden light, the figure of Shi Tian Di appeared, identical to when Chu Qin had first seen him, no less than the demon shadow created by the Immortal Buddha!
"To think a super powerful entity was hidden!" exclaimed the Immortal Buddha, taken aback.
"Chu Qin, you all should enter the tomb!" Shi Tian Di looked at Chu Qin and smiled.
Chu Qin clenched his fists, his eyes rimmed with red.
Men do not shed tears lightly.
But Chu Qin had reached a point of heartache.
Shi Tian Di was both a mentor and friend to him; Chu Qin knew that if he stepped into the tomb, he would never see Shi Tian Di again!
"Gulp gulp gulp!"
Just then, a crisp sound of wine being savored rang out, followed by a lazy voice, "Partings in life and death, those are what I dislike the most!"
Everyone was startled and looked toward the sound, only to see that in front of them, an unkempt old man dressed in plain clothes, drinking from a gourd, had appeared out of nowhere.
This person was none other than the Gluttonous Ogre.
"It's you, senior!" Chu Qin exclaimed with joy.
"Hahaha! Chu Qin my friend, I've come to repay my debt!" the Gluttonous Ogre laughed loudly, "Last time it was for the debt of the sugar gourds, and this time, naturally, it's for the debt owed because of that pig's trotter!"
"You should go back!"
As soon as the Gluttonous Ogre finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and Shi Tian Di, who had turned into a golden body of ten thousand zhang, was pressed back, falling back into Chu Qin's body.
"I, I've been saved!" Shi Tian Di was incredibly shocked.
Everyone, including Chu Qin, was stunned; the divine might to press down a Second Calamity Supreme God with one finger, what a terrifying power that was!
"Who are you!" The Immortal Buddha, seeing this scene, cried out in horror.
The Gluttonous Ogre paid no mind to the Immortal Buddha and turned to Chu Qin, "You all hurry inside. The scene to come will be very violent and bloody, not suitable for your eyes."
"All right then, senior, I leave it to you!" Chu Qin said, thrilled, "Xiaowu, Yi Yi, Yao Yao, Senior Tianyun, let's go into the tomb!"
"Okay!" Although the crowd did not know who this old man was, they trusted Chu Qin greatly.
Following that, under Chu Qin's lead, everyone rushed into the Dimensional Passage.
"Stop!" the Immortal Buddha shouted.
But the Gluttonous Ogre stood in his way, hanging the wine gourd at his waist, and said lazily, "Haven't eaten in a long while, I'm a bit hungry!"
What followed was the most horrifying scene the Immortal Buddha had ever seen.
And it was also his last scene!
The Immortal Buddha was devoured, leaving not even residue behind!
