"Haha, it looks like you were wrong."
"A grandmaster is still a grandmaster in the end. A grandmaster's predictions are not something you have the right to question."
At that moment, numerous people began to mock the mother of the Four Emperors of the Boundaries.
"The grandmaster's predictions are naturally accurate, but I still refuse to believe that little trash
"With his strength, he wouldn't even be able to make it this far. On what basis could he obtain Grandmaster Kaihong's inheritance?"
"Could it be that Grandmaster Kaihong would suddenly appear and personally deliver his inheritance to that Chu Feng?" the mother of the Four Emperors of the Boundaries said.
"That does make some sense. Although the grandmaster's predictions are very accurate, Chu Feng is still a junior after all. Even if he managed to trigger changes in these ruins, it would still be very difficult for him to snatch anything right in front of us," the crowd chimed in.
"Indeed. At a time like this, what's being tested is strength."
"The capable shall reap the rewards."
Suddenly, a peak Martial Ancestor powerhouse gripped a massive ancestral weapon axe, unleashed a movement martial art, and shot toward the coffin, intending to cleave it open with a single swing.
"Don't even think about getting to it first!!!"
Seeing this, the other peak Martial Ancestors present also sprang into action, unveiling their signature techniques as they raced to break open the coffin and seize the so-called Key to the Gate.
In an instant, a variety of powerful methods converged, all striking toward the coffin at once.
Boom—
However, before any of that formidable energy could even get close to the coffin, it was blocked by the grand formation.
"How is this possible?"
At that moment, everyone was dumbstruck.
Those who had just attacked were all peak Martial Ancestors — true Rank Nine Martial Ancestors, only a single step away from becoming true Immortals.
Moreover, in their haste to seize the Key to the Gate from within the coffin, none of them had held back. Not only had every one of them wielded powerful ancestral weapons, but some had even gone so far as to deploy Imperial Forbidden martial arts.
Such an assault could have destroyed heaven and earth, could have slaughtered countless living beings in the blink of an eye — it was genuine apocalyptic power.
Yet even this level of power had been completely deflected by the guardian formation. How could the experts of the
"You've got to be kidding me. That gate is hard to break through, and now this formation turns out to be hard to break through as well?"
"Even if there's supposedly a key inside that formation, what good does it do us if we can't open it?"
After a round of fruitless attacks, the experts couldn't help but voice their frustrations.
"Since it's a formation, it can naturally be cracked. It's not like there aren't any Spirit World Masters here," a peak Martial Ancestor from the Sword-Wielding Immortal Sect said.
"That's right. With so many Immortal-Robe Spirit World Masters present, how could we possibly fail to break through this formation?" Everyone's eyes turned toward the mother of the Four Emperors of the Boundaries, along with several other notable figures present.
In truth, the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm did not have many Immortal-Robe Spirit World Masters, but Grandmaster Kaihong's ruins had drawn roughly seventy percent of them. Among them were nine Worm-Etch Immortal-Robe Spirit World Masters and five Serpent-Etch Immortal-Robe Spirit World Masters.
And these Spirit World Masters were not only well-versed in the art of boundaries — their cultivation was also extremely formidable.
"We're willing to break the formation, but once it's open, how will the treasures left behind by Grandmaster Kaihong be divided?" the mother of the Four Emperors of the Boundaries asked the crowd.
"You're not the only Immortal-Robe Spirit World Master here. If you want to act, act. If you don't, then step aside," said a snow-white-haired elder, slinging a sharp sword across his back before unleashing the power of boundaries to begin setting up a formation-breaking array.
This elder was one of the five Serpent-Etch Immortal-Robe Spirit World Masters present, hailing from the Sword-Wielding Immortal Sect.
Following him, the three Serpent-Etch Immortal-Robe Spirit World Masters from the
"Masters, though our abilities are limited, please allow us to do what we can to assist you."
Upon seeing this, the nine Worm-Etch Immortal-Robe Spirit World Masters likewise stepped forward.
