Eight Great Demon Towers, standing in the void.
Each Demon Tower, just like the Tiger Demon Teng, was over three hundred meters long, all shrouded in black mist, emanating an incredibly powerful late-stage Dan rotation aura.
These eight enormous demons were all late-stage Dan rotation demons!
Ye Chen and the others might have been able to suppress one Tiger Demon Teng, but the sudden appearance of eight demonic creatures of the same level, even if Ye Chen and Yun Luo possessed Heavenly Saint Level techniques, made their complexions change dramatically.
The others, upon seeing these eight immense demons enveloped in swirling black mists and releasing shocking auras, were even more terrified and trembled in fear!
But what shocked everyone even more wasn't these eight great demons.
Ye Chen and his fellow Tomb Explorers all turned their gazes towards the feet of the eight Demon Towers standing in the void, towards the huge black marshland at the deepest part of the tomb, and to the giant black bubbles continually surfacing in the marsh.
In the end, their gazes all converged at the center of the marshland, upon a massive bronze coffin, larger than a small hill, and tightly bound by eight giant chains!
A colossal bronze coffin!
Deep within the tomb, a bronze coffin of such size was unexpectedly hidden!
"Could it be that this is the true owner of the tomb, the Heavenly Saint Mo Ya's coffin?"
That thought arose in the minds of the Tomb Explorers including Ye Chen.
The Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb should certainly have a burial place for a Heavenly Saint!
It was highly likely that this black marsh was the final resting place for Heavenly Saint Mo Ya, and this massive bronze coffin was the sarcophagus containing his corpse!
The thought that inside the colossal bronze coffin might lie the corpse of a Heavenly Saint, and perhaps the ultimate treasure they were seeking—the Law Relic—might be hidden within it, caused everyone's hearts to pound with nervous excitement!
The Law Relic, after all, was the most important treasure left behind by a Heavenly Saint. Every Heavenly Saint would have completely mastered one of the five Heavenly Void Laws of "metal, wood, water, fire, earth." Upon their death, this complete Law would not dissipate but would transform into a Law Relic.
Although this tomb was not the anticipated Heavenly Saint Linghua's tomb, Mo Ya, being a Heavenly Saint as well, there would still be a Law Relic left behind after his death, present within this tomb!
If they could truly obtain Mo Ya's Law Relic, it would still count as a tremendous gain!
However, this thought was merely a fleeting one that crossed everyone's minds before clarity returned.
This was a Demon Sect's ancient tomb, after all, and now they were facing the awakening of the Eight Great late-stage Dan rotation Demon Towers; they still didn't know what Mo Ya's intentions were in luring them into the tomb.
Being able to escape from the tomb and from the clutches of the Eight Great Demon Towers was already a great fortune; to hope for obtaining Mo Ya's Law Relic now seemed far too greedy.
Just as Ye Chen and the others turned their attention to the colossal bronze coffin, and a myriad of thoughts flitted through their minds, the Eight Great Demon Towers standing in the void finally made their move.
The two Demon Towers that lit up behind the Tiger Demon Teng, the Eagle Demon Tower and the Python Demon Tower, turned their eerie demonic eyes directly toward Ye Chen and the others.
Meanwhile, the remaining five Demon Towers—the Lion Demon Tower, the Ape Demon Tower, the Turtle Demon Tower, the Eagle Demon Tower, and the Leopard Demon Tower—did not even glance at Ye Chen and his party; instead, after absorbing countless Demon King black mists and reaching their peak auras, they swooped down from the void and landed beside the massive bronze coffin.
Then, four out of the five Demon Towers began to lift the bronze coffin from its four corners, while the fifth Demon Tower, after the coffin was slightly raised, also began exerting force from below to lift the sarcophagus.
The five Demon Towers were strangely starting to lift the colossal bronze coffin!
The scene of five demons lifting a coffin was eerily unsettling.
Ye Chen and the others observed that as the five demons lifted the colossal bronze coffin bit by bit from the black marsh, numerous Ancient Rune Talismans on five of the massive chains that locked the coffin began to light up brightly.
And as the coffin was gradually raised, countless runes on the outer surface of the coffin started to flicker, with more and more runes shining as time passed!
Although the purpose behind the lifting of the coffin by the five demons was unknown, Ye Chen and his companions understood that the action of the five Demon Towers awakening and lifting the bronze coffin was definitely not a good sign.
"Don't let them lift the coffin!"
Ye Chen instantly voiced out to the others.
He had a feeling that if they allowed the five great demons to lift the colossal bronze coffin, the events that would follow would be even more terrifying, and he was determined to prevent whatever was about to happen.
Ye Chen drew his Black Fire Sword, ready to charge towards the five Demon Towers.
Just then, the other three Demon Towers that had been watching Ye Chen and his companions from the void made their move.
"Little brat, do you really think you can come to the Ultimate Land and still act arrogantly?"
"The master's coffin is not something for a junior like you to approach!"
The one speaking was the Tiger Demon Teng, and as it spoke, it, along with the two other Demon Towers, the Eagle Demon Tower and the Python Demon Tower, violently soared towards Ye Chen and the others.
In the surging aura, these three Demon Towers took the initiative to strike at Ye Chen and his companions.
Out of the Eight Great Demon Towers, while five bore the coffin, the other three directly engaged Ye Chen and the Tomb Explorers, as if there was some unspoken division of labor arranged!
At this moment, Ye Chen and the others had no time to think about anything else: the immediate priority was to eliminate the attacking three Demon Towers, stop the other five from lifting the coffin, and then see what they were plotting!
With this in mind, Ye Chen swiftly drew his Black Fire Sword and met the three oncoming Demon Towers head-on.
Seeing the three Demon Towers attack and Ye Chen advancing to meet them, the Fairy in Rainbow Robes directly called out. Her figure unfurled as she followed along with Ye Chen towards the three Demon Towers.
"This is the final land of the ancient tomb; we need to work together!"
After the Fairy in Rainbow Robes took action, Yun Luo, Liu Yan, and the others also attacked without hesitation. Eventually, all twenty-eight Tomb Explorers surged towards the three Demon Towers.
Even Xue Yue, a disciple of the Demon Sects who was hiding among them, after taking a secretive glance at the bronze giant coffin and the five Demon Towers gradually lifting the coffin, joined the crowd and charged at the remaining three Demon Towers.
"Hmph, Spirit Sea juniors, how dare you be presumptuous in our presence!"
Seeing the swarm of Tomb Explorers attacking, the Eagle Demon Tower with an eagle-headed human body beside the Tiger Demon Tower snorted coldly. It spread its enormous black wings and with an instantaneous sweep, flung a large group of Tomb Explorers far away!
"The ritual has begun; kill their souls, leaving only their flesh!"
Another Python Demon Tower opened its giant maw wide, and from within spat out a magical fan. This fan twirled and transformed into a giant treasure fan a hundred meters in diameter. Then, with a breath from the Python Demon Tower, it fanned towards the void, unleashing a gale of chilling wind that barreled towards Ye Chen and his companions.
Feeling the chilling wind emanating from the fan, Ye Chen and the others' expressions changed drastically.
This huge treasure fan conjured by the Python Demon Tower was indeed a Heavenly Saint Level artifact and an offensive one at that!
After the Tiger Demon Tower had deployed a Heavenly Saint Level defensive artifact like the "Void Great Treasure Cover," the Python Demon Tower, one of the Eight Great Demon Towers, had also produced a Heavenly Saint Level offensive artifact!
Originally, the Eight Great Demon Towers had an absolute advantage in strength.
Now, with two Heavenly Saint Level artifacts in play, even though Ye Chen and Yun Luo also possessed Heavenly Saint Level offensive powers, the situation had turned to their disadvantage.
"Yun Luo and I will take on these two monsters; everyone else, team up against the Eagle Demon Tower!"
Seeing the Python Demon Tower unleash the Heavenly Saint treasure fan, a gleam flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. Holding the Black Fire Sword, he charged directly at the Python Demon Tower, while his voice thunderously reached the others.
Despite being at a disadvantage, it was a moment where they had no choice but to fight. The others naturally wouldn't give up easily; upon hearing Ye Chen's command, Yun Luo pinched a magic formula. The Heavenly Saint flying knife hovering around him flashed through the void, straight towards the Tiger Demon Tower.
The rest, including the Fairy in Rainbow Robes, Liu Yan, and the other Tomb Explorers who had been flung far by the Eagle Demon Tower, rose into the air and, collaborating together, directed their assault against the Eagle Demon Tower!
In an instant, a earth-shattering battle erupted at the deepest part of the ancient tomb!
Meanwhile, the five Demon Towers carrying the bronze giant coffin lifted it higher and higher, and the number of runes flickering upon it also increased. Ultimately, even the entire coffin was covered in shimmering runes!
