Chapter 25: Killing Tathagata (Ch 25)

The three of them moved forward step by step towards the depths of the ancient road.

The only sounds I could hear were footsteps and a strong heartbeat.

The longer Zi Yuan stayed in the dark, the more frightened she became, and the tighter she gripped Lin Ye’s clothes.

call……

Just when the three thought that the darkness would never end, suddenly, balls of fire appeared on the walls on both sides.

The flames were not the usual red color, but a seductive blue. The appearance of the flames did not bring warmth, but added a bit of chill to the surroundings.

The fire led all the way to the unknown depths. Was it kindly leading the way for a few people? Or was it leading people to the abyss?

For some reason, Lin Ye felt that something deeper inside seemed to have some intimacy with him.

The black golden elixir in the qi sea began to tremble slightly at this moment.

Following the path emitting blue light, the three of them soon arrived at a secret room.

But compared to a secret room, this place is more like a tomb.

The rotten smell that I smelled above was pungent enough, and the smell of the corpse at the source was even more dizzy.

In the front stood a huge coffin, which seemed to be made of bronze and was engraved with complex runes.

The fluorescent blue light adds a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the entire tomb.

“ah!!!”

Zi Yuan exclaimed.

It turned out that when Luo Weiyu’s crystal stone used for lighting lit up the tomb, a pile of charred corpses could be seen around it.

Those corpses were not dry bones, they seemed to have flesh and blood, but they had all turned charred black, as if they had been burned by fire.

Sitting, standing, and lying, the corpses were in various shapes and forms. The only thing in common was that, as could be seen from their charred faces, the corners of their mouths were raised.

In other words, these people died with a smile on their faces.

Lin Ye felt that this scene was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that this was exactly the scene depicted in the mural on the wall when entering the tunnel.

When Luo Weiyu saw the bronze coffin, he immediately walked forward excitedly to take a closer look.

Lin Ye came to the tombstone next to the Bronze Hall, stretched out his hand and waved it gently. A stream of spiritual power blew away the dust on the tombstone, revealing the words engraved on it.

The Buddha’s light saves all living beings from sorrow, while ghosts wail and gods howl, ushering in paradise.

Good and evil have never been their true nature. Killing lives and destroying one’s heart are evil.

Only these four short lines of poetry were left on the tombstone.

Tathagata?

As a time traveler, Lin Ye was naturally very familiar with this Buddhist name, but the evil Tathagata…

Is this tomb Tathagata’s?

Absolutely impossible!

The bronze coffin suppressed evil spirits, but if the person in the coffin was Tathagata, then they would not be able to enter the tomb at all.

In this bizarre world, even the corpse of a strong man possesses the divine power he had when he was alive. There is also a legend that the corpse of the emperor that was buried in the void came back to life and turned the world into a wasteland.

Although I don’t know what kind of powerful person the evil Tathagata in this poem is.

But just from the bloody verses one can tell that this man is definitely an unrivaled strong man.

“Finally found it! Finally found it!!!”

Luo Weiyu reached out and stroked the bronze coffin, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty.

It took me a long time to come back to my senses.

He regained his gentle and elegant temperament and came to Lin Ye: “Brother Dao, I said before that the opportunity here is 50-50 between you and me. You may not know that both this bronze coffin and the things in the coffin are rare opportunities.”

“If you don’t mind, I’ll take this bronze coffin away, and the things inside will be given to you, Brother Lin.”

Zi Yuan, who should have stood up and said why we should give him the opportunity and leave him with a broken coffin, was unusually silent at this moment. I don’t know if it was because of fear, or because she had been pinching the corner of Lin Ye’s clothes on the way here, which produced the so-called companion effect.

“Give me the opportunity in the coffin?”

Lin Ye looked at Luo Weiyu with interest.

The latter made a resolute expression: “That’s right! Although this opportunity came easily, Brother Lin, believe me, the opportunity here is absolutely unimaginable. If I hadn’t found the map here, and if I hadn’t had the seal-breaking talisman in my junior sister’s hand, I’m afraid this opportunity would have been buried underground forever.”

“Oh, you are right, but how about this, let’s switch, I want this bronze coffin, how about you want the opportunity inside?”

Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Luo Weiyu’s face stiffened slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant: “Okay, Brother Lin, you have the final say, then the opportunity inside belongs to me, and this bronze coffin belongs to Brother Lin.”

“good.”

Lin Ye nodded and continued, “Then you go and take the opportunity inside, and I will carry the coffin away.”

“This…” Luo Weiyu’s expression suddenly became embarrassed.

“Is there any danger after opening this coffin? Brother Luo, you won’t plot against me, right?”

“…”

Seeing Lin Ye winking at him, the veins on Luo Weiyu’s forehead bulged, but he still suppressed them and said with a forced smile: “How could that be, Brother Lin, you underestimated me a little. If I really wanted to hurt you, why would I bring you here?”

“That’s true.”

Lin Ye walked towards the coffin and placed his hand on the bronze coffin.

As soon as he touched the bronze coffin, a strong sense of decay enveloped his whole body.

That feeling makes one’s soul tremble and one’s qi sea shakes.

But Lin Ye acted as if nothing had happened and just felt the rotten smell.

In a moment, Lin Ye used his palm as a finger and pointed a sword at the coffin.

clang!!!

The white sword light shone through his body and hit the bronze coffin with a loud bang.

Boom!!!

The entire tomb began to shake.

Zi Yuan was so scared that she quickly ran to the corner, while Luo Weiyu’s face was a little dark at this moment. He slowly came behind Lin Ye, and his eyes hidden in the darkness were like a predator staring at its prey.

“The material of this bronze coffin is really good. Brother Luo, what do you think of using it as your permanent residence?”

Lin Ye turned his head suddenly and clamped the attacking spiritual sword with two fingers.

At this time, Luo Weiyu’s face was ferocious. Holding the magic sword, he wanted to attack Lin Ye from behind, but he didn’t expect that the other party turned around at this time.

“Brother Lin, I brought you here with good intentions to seek opportunities, but you repeatedly abused me. This is intolerable. So let me use your blood to open this bronze coffin!”

After saying that, the magic sword in Luo Weiyu’s hand shook and broke free from Lin Ye’s fingers.

Then he pinched the magic formula with one hand.

The spiritual sword shone brightly, and the sound of the sword echoed throughout the entire tomb.

“Go to hell! Lin Ye!”

Luo Weiyu’s face became more and more ferocious. He thrust the magic sword forward and then continued to grow larger in the air. The sword cut through yin and yang, and a pure white light flashed on the sword body, like a silver dragon rushing towards him.

The silver dragon opened its huge mouth, wanting to swallow Lin Ye into its stomach in one fell swoop.

If he were swallowed by the silver dragon, there was no doubt that the sharp sword energy would tear him into pieces.
