Chapter 391: Chapter 391: The Monster that Devours Heaven and Earth!

Did they dig up a monster?

“Where? Let me see,” Yang Yan said calmly.

He possessed the Emperor Body, so how could he fear a mere monster!

“There!” Mountain Piercing Escape pointed into the distance.

Yang Yan’s eyes shifted slightly, piercing through the hidden to look ahead.

He saw a stiff figure flying toward them in the shadows.

The figure wore a hat, had protruding eyes, and sharp teeth.

Its entire body was golden copper in color, with a pair of white fur-covered wings!

It was a Flying Bronze Corpse!

“Roar!”

It let out a roar at Yang Yan!

As it opened its mouth, a blood-red breath spewed forth.

“They indeed dug up a copse demon, but it’s not very powerful,” Yang Yan said quietly.

This Flying Bronze Corpse was significantly inferior to the Giant Copper Corpse he had collected before.

“Master, the monster I mentioned isn’t that Flying Bronze Corpse.

That’s just a minor monster I dug up!

The real big monster is above it!”

There was another monster?

Yang Yan looked up, but saw nothing but darkness, no monster at all.

But Mountain Piercing Escape was his servant; he would not deceive him, nor dare to!

“A monster that knows how to hide?”

He activated the True Profound Immortal Pupil, finally seeing the big monster Mountain Piercing Escape spoke of.

It was not a hidden monster, but a special monster!

In his eyes, a terrifying and massive shadow devoured the hidden, devoured the void.

It covered half the sky, coming closer to them.

“What the hell is it!” Yang Yan furrowed his brows.

Even with his True Profound Immortal Pupil, he couldn’t discern what kind of monster it was.

He couldn’t even see the entity; all he saw was darkness, a void.

It seemed as if it didn’t have a physical form at all!

But he was sure that thing was definitely a monster!

Heading their way!

He recalled carefully again, realizing there was no record in the Divine Dao Heavenly Book of such a monster that could devour the void and devour the hidden.

“From where did you dig up this monster?” Yang Yan asked in confusion.

Mountain Piercing Escape scratched its head with a paw.

“I’m not sure where, but it was some Demon Sect around a volcano.

I dug up the foundation of this sect, searching down to the deepest part inside the volcano.

In the lava of the volcano, I saw an elusive Xuan Tie Coffin.

I thought it was some valuable treasure and cheerfully went over.

Who knew when I opened it, there was still another coffin inside.

I didn’t give up and kept opening them.

Layer after layer after layer…

I opened more than a hundred layers, almost losing patience.

Finally, I persevered and reached the one-hundred-fiftieth layer, seeing the deepest part.

The deepest layer was a palm-sized coffin, and when I opened it,

I saw a deep dark void, completely empty inside.

I even reached my paw inside to feel around, but found no treasure!

Feeling disappointed, I left.

Not long after I came out, I found the entire sect was gone.

At first, I didn’t notice anything unusual, thinking maybe it was just fog or an array that hid the sect’s existence.

But after a closer look, I realized the sect wasn’t hidden but swallowed!

It was that monster behind us that swallowed it!

Then it came after me, and still is after me now!

Damn monster, I rescued it, and it just keeps following me like a bad omen!”

Mountain Piercing Escape seemed quite frustrated!

No treasure gained, instead being chased by a monster.

“Well, let’s not rush to leave first.”

“Let me try, see if I can subdue it!”

Though the monster was strange, Yang Yan was not worried.

Because its speed was not very fast.

He only needed to perform the Innate Dao Skill, Near and far,

and it would never catch up to him!

And this monster’s peculiar ability seemed quite formidable,

making Yang Yan consider if he could make use of it.

As he spoke, Yang Yan clenched his fist and punched toward the monster.

A terrifying force, entwined with sword-like Profound Qi, blasted toward the monster.

The opponent didn’t dodge at all, letting Yang Yan’s punch land.

Yet, the powerful force hit the opponent, along with the Profound Qi, without causing even the slightest ripple.

It was as if it had been swallowed by a black hole, the strength consumed by the thing!

“Try again with Divine Thought!” Yang Yan released his Divine Thought.

The Divine Thought, like a Golden Sword, pierced through the sky and struck the monster.

But again, it was useless, like striking a black hole!

Not even a ripple, no sign of any disturbance at all.

Profound Qi, strength, Divine Thought!

None of these methods had any effect on the monster.

“Master, this monster is too strange, we should run now.” Mountain Piercing Escape hurriedly said when Yang Yan’s attacks had no effect on the monster.

It had no solution against the creature either.

Yang Yan nodded.

“It really is strange, it has no substance, not even a virtual form.

It seems to both exist in this world and transcend it,” he said.

“If this creature can be subdued, it would be quite nice.

Let’s go!

We will leave here for now but not completely depart!

Let’s see what it really is in the daylight.

Perhaps the night hides its real form, while daylight might reveal it in the sun.”

“Alright, I’ll follow your orders,” Mountain Piercing Escape replied.

By this time, the Flying Bronze Corpse had already reached them.

It opened its mouth, attempting to bite Yang Yan.

Yang Yan raised his hand and flicked a finger at the corpse’s head!

Bam!

The head of the Flying Bronze Corpse exploded with his finger flick!

Along with it, a bit of Profound Qi entered the Flying Bronze Corpse’s body, absorbing its physical power.

“Dealing with the Flying Bronze Corpse only took a finger, but a punch was useless against that monster,” Yang Yan thought.

That creature was anything but ordinary!

He picked up Miao Yin, moving among the trees.

The speed was neither fast nor slow.

Mountain Piercing Escape followed beside him, both occasionally glancing back at the monster devouring the heavens and consuming the void.

The monster persistently followed Yang Yan and Mountain Piercing Escape, not going anywhere else.

“Mountain Piercing Escape, with your speed, you should have been able to evade it!

Could it be that it left some scent or mark on you that allows it to follow?” Yang Yan asked.

Mountain Piercing Escape pondered.

“Could it be my claws?”

It had once used its claws to explore inside the coffin.

“It’s possible, but are you sure that monster was released from the Hundred layered Coffin?” Yang Yan continued to ask.

He asked this because he wanted to trace back to the source.

Perhaps he could find a way to restrain the monster!

Moreover, the monster had only been observed by Mountain Piercing Escape after it left the sect.

This meant the monster might not have been released by Mountain Piercing Escape!

Mountain Piercing Escape considered for a moment.

“I’m fairly certain, because I sensed an aura on the monster similar to that inside the coffin.

And within the sect’s foundation, apart from the Hundred layered Coffin, there wasn’t anything special.

Oh, and Master, I brought the coffin out with me.”

As it spoke, it produced a coffin.

“…” Yang Yan glanced at the coffin. “The coffin is sealed. You brought the coffin out, so how did it get out?”

Mountain Piercing Escape clicked its tongue.

“The innermost coffin was too small, so I just left it behind.

I only brought out the outer coffin.

Such a small coffin couldn’t even fit me, so it was of no use to me.”

It took the Hundred layered Coffin to store itself?

“Master, this coffin is truly exquisite.

In all my grave robbing years, this coffin feels the safest.”

As it spoke, it stowed away the Hundred layered Coffin and took out another coffin.

“Take a look at this one.”

A completely golden coffin was presented before him.

“This was the coffin containing the Flying Bronze Corpse earlier, though it appears splendid and grandiose.

Yet, compared to the Hundred layered Coffin, it’s vastly inferior!”

“In what way is it inferior?” Yang Yan couldn’t see much difference.

“The material and the texture.

I dare say, lying inside the Hundred layered Coffin is definitely more comfortable than lying in this one!” Mountain Piercing Escape remarked with utmost seriousness.

Yang Yan was speechless; he almost wanted to bring out the Emperor’s Coffin that housed the Sword Dao Emperor’s corpse for Mountain Piercing Escape to review.

To see which coffin was more comfortable to lie in.

Before long, the sky began to brighten gradually.

Yang Yan and Mountain Piercing Escape turned back to look and suddenly halted in their tracks.
