Chapter 164: Still Unable to Escape the Sanctions of Fate (3)

"Opportunity?" Ye Kun did not understand what this meant. Rush out and finish off Yuan Hao?

"Help me deal with the sealed entity beneath the abyss, and I will permanently support this abyss! Then nothing can go wrong."

"Permanently support? Senior, what do you mean by this?" Ye Kun could not help but ask.

"Ye Kun, you are still just a child, but do not lose your conviction. My conviction is to see old friends reconcile as they once were, and now that I have seen it, my remaining conviction is to use my utmost ability to protect the people beneath my tree."

Ye Kun probably did not understand this profound truth just yet, after all, he was still too young and lacked experience. A thousand or ten thousand years from now, Ye Kun would look at problems from the perspective of a powerhouse.

"I..."

Before Ye Kun could finish, the Ancient Ginseng Tree said in a deep voice, "Right now, only you can fight that sealed entity. Ye Kun, the lives of tens of millions of people above our heads are in your hands! Remember! Do not make too much of a commotion, otherwise..."

"Alright, I will be careful." Ye Kun turned around to look down into the abyss. Was the sealed entity down there?

"Catch!"

Ye Kun instinctively reached out and caught it. A wave of scorching heat instantly coursed through his entire body, and the Tianxuan magic artifacts on him all turned to ash!

At this moment, Ye Kun felt as if he were being eroded by raging flames, burning with crimson fire. The surrounding temperature rose to a terrifying degree, and even the tree roots beneath Ye Kun's feet began to smoke and ignite!

And in Ye Kun's right hand appeared a sword!

This was a sword made of fire, a formless sword, much like the divine sword held by Ye Ming, both being entirely without fixed shape.

The only difference was that one was formed from clouds and mist, while the other was formed from blazing flames.

"This is the divine sword Yuan Hao has been yearning for, Fire Cloud Burning Heaven! Go quickly and return swiftly!"

Ye Kun was still in a daze. For all his calculation, he had never expected the divine sword to be handed to him in this manner, and he hadn't even had time to utter a couple of cool exclamations...

This had to be the most hasty handover of a divine sword in history.

However, it was better to complete the mission quickly now before any accidents occurred. It was just a pity about the equipment his mother had given him; it was all gone...

"Little Horse, take Ye Kun down."

"Yes, Teacher." The Silver Ancient Steed said respectfully, its body slowly shrinking until it looked just like a silver horse, except its muzzle shape was a bit unsightly; otherwise, there truly wouldn't have been any difference.

Just as Ye Kun was about to leap up onto its back, my Brother Horse suddenly took two steps back and cried out in alarm, "Big Bro, please put out the fire! My front teeth are getting scorched off. Do you really want to burn me to death..."

"Sorry, I'll put out the fire right now." Looking at the Silver Ancient Steed's aggrieved gaze, Ye Kun wanted to laugh, but in this current time and place, it was better to maintain a serious expression.

"Just recite it silently in your mind." The Ancient Ginseng Tree patiently instructed from the side, allowing Ye Kun to quickly adapt to the Fire Cloud Burning Heaven. The vanished Fire Cloud Burning Heaven unexpectedly transformed into a red ring that slipped onto his index finger, looking quite decent.

However, the fire-extinguished Ye Kun truly revealed his true nature. Ye Kun was not shy; after all, the others present were merely Demon Kings and demonic beasts.

Sister Spider gave a light cough, and Brother Horse pursed his lips. This little bald guy was quite well-endowed and could actually hold his own compared to him.

Mounting Brother Horse, the steed leaped forward, though this time without wings.

Ye Kun felt as if Brother Horse was taking revenge on him for the burning, as it suddenly began a steep dive, forcing Ye Kun to grab hold of Brother Horse's horns with both hands.

Brother Horse actually let out an excited whinny, giving Ye Kun goosebumps all over.

Soon, Brother Horse delivered Ye Kun to the very bottom of the abyss. The tree roots here were even thicker and sturdier, resembling rows of towering mountains.

Brother Horse dropped Ye Kun off not far from the sealed entity: "Ye Kun, that is the sealed entity."

Ye Kun looked at the sealed entity three zhang away. It turned out to be a coffin!

Furthermore, it was an extremely ordinary coffin, just like the ones used by ordinary families in Taixi County. The only difference was that a spiritual talisman was pasted on the foot of the coffin.

A method used by exorcists.

Ye Kun jumped down from Brother Horse and asked in a deep voice, "What is this? Is it very powerful?"

"Yeah, this was left here by that despicable villain Yuan Hao. He was the one who turned this place into a massive abyss pit. If we don't get rid of it, Teacher won't be able to hold on much longer. The three of us don't have the strength for it, so we can only rely on you. Bye-bye..." Before my Bro Kun could reply, Brother Horse bolted, running even faster than its dive.

Was it really that terrifying?

Terrifying? Indeed, a little bit, and somewhat creepy too.

Who for no reason would lie inside a coffin? It definitely had to be a corpse, and since even those three demonic beasts were no match for it, its strength must be extraordinary.

Moreover, since he couldn't cause too much of a commotion, he had no choice but to take out the divine sword.

Gently rubbing the ring on his index finger, flames materialized in the palm of Ye Kun's hand. The Fire Cloud Burning Heaven was grasped by Ye Kun, his entire body enveloped and eroded by the raging fire.

So comfortable~

Ye Kun could not help but whisper, feeling as if he were basking in the winter sun, a wave of pleasantness surging from his toes all the way to his scalp.

He raised his hand to look at the Fire Cloud Burning Heaven in his grip. It looked undeniably badass, just like his dad's...

It was just that during the summoning, it lacked that overwhelming aura of dominance his dad possessed. If it had played out with a visual like this, it would have been perfect.

The image that floated into Ye Kun's mind was the firmament being swallowed by flames, transforming into a fiery dragon, which then turned into a sword amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd and flew right into his hand, before his entire body burst into flames as well. Only that kind of scene could rival his dad's entrance.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept past, causing the flames on Ye Kun's body to flicker slightly, as if reminding Ye Kun that he was down here to handle business, not to let his imagination run wild.

Brother Kun also quickly adjusted his mindset. After all, Bro Kun wasn't entirely fearless; he had two main phobias—first, densely packed things, and second, coffins.

Even now, holding the divine sword, Bro Kun's heartbeat felt like a charging fierce tiger.

Walking up beside the coffin, Ye Kun first observed it closely. There was no aura emanating from it, and the coffin was remarkably well-preserved with no signs of decay.

Aside from the spiritual talisman at the foot, there seemed to be nothing else.

It was just that the ground beneath his feet felt a bit abnormal, as if it were slowly sinking.

It seemed the entity inside this coffin was indeed the one that had hollowed out the underground of Ankang Province.

Arriving at the foot of the coffin, Ye Kun looked at the spiritual talisman. He had never seen this pattern before; it must have been drawn by an extremely powerful exorcist.

What on earth was lying inside?! Ye Kun had no confidence at all.

To open it, or not to open it?

That was the question.

As the ground beneath his feet continued to sink slowly, Ye Kun had no extra time to ponder. Right above his head was Ankang Province, home to tens of millions of people!

He slowly brought the Fire Cloud Burning Heaven closer to the spiritual talisman. However, before it even touched it, the talisman was blasted by the scorching heat of the divine sword and instantly burst into flames.

Ye Kun instinctively leaped backward, flinching like someone dodging firecrackers during the Qingyuan Festival.

He watched as the spiritual talisman turned to ash, drifting away in the air.

Ye Kun stared intently at the coffin, swallowing hard as his imagination ran wild, picturing the coffin lid exploding and a corpse leaping straight out.

Just as Bro Kun was letting his imagination run wild, a dull, heavy sound echoed from within the coffin!
