Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Catching Turtles in the Jar

Just as they burst out of the Dragon Temple, innumerable ferocious beams of sword light filled the void, forming a sword cloud that rained down on them.

At this moment, at least seven or eight Eternal Realm Cultivators had launched an attack on Big Black Horse. This group of cultivators worked in perfect concert, some guarding the exterior while others coordinated from within.

After bursting out from the Dragon Temple and being freed from the constraints of the black light, Big Black Horse’s body suddenly returned to normal. He raised his golden axe, and from its surface, Rebirth Thunder surged wildly, forming a golden ocean of lightning that roared as it surged towards the sword light.

BOOM!

The Rebirth Thunder destroyed the frenzied sword light. With unstoppable momentum, it furiously swept towards those Eternal Realm Coffin Carriers.

”Coffins, come!”

The few Coffin Carriers roared, and their bodies were instantly enveloped by black coffins.

WHOOSH!

The surging Rebirth Thunder crashed against the black coffins, CRACKLING loudly, but the coffins seemed undamaged.

Big Black Horse was inwardly alarmed.

The Coffin Carrier Clan truly is bizarre. Each one of them possesses a coffin-like Dharma treasure.

To think they could actually block my Rebirth Thunder!

Although breaking through the assault of sword light had weakened the Rebirth Thunder somewhat, the fact that these black coffins could withstand it attested to their extraordinary nature.

Big Black Horse didn’t know that within the inner walls of the coffins, there was a small Seven-star formation.

When the Rebirth Thunder struck a coffin, this small Seven-star formation would flare with silver light.

Mysterious silver light spread from the inside to cover the entire coffin, allowing these coffins to withstand the Rebirth Thunder’s assault without any damage.

It had to be said that these black coffins, empowered by the Seven-star formation, possessed an incredibly formidable defensive power.

After continuously unleashing the Rebirth Thunder from the golden axe, Big Black Horse glanced at the axe and saw it had become somewhat ethereal.

He couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

This was a treasure gifted to me by Master. To save my life, I had no choice but to activate it twice in succession.

Each activation was at maximum power.

The Eternal Realm Coffin Carriers from within the Dragon Temple, seizing the opportunity while Big Black Horse was momentarily dazed, suddenly charged out and attacked him once more.

The old Clan Leader pointed a finger towards the void. A streak of black light flashed, and a pitch-black coffin appeared, instantly sucking the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon into it.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon was currently extremely weak and couldn’t resist at all.

Just as Big Black Horse snapped back to his senses and was about to flee, the Eternal Realm Coffin Carriers from the Dragon Temple suddenly swarmed him again.

Most of these Cultivators were in higher realms than Big Black Horse.

Thus, for Big Black Horse to escape was incredibly difficult, almost unimaginable.

”ROAR!”

Big Black Horse roared in fury and, at that moment, finally transformed into his true form.

A black Giant Dragon, tens of thousands of zhang in length, suddenly appeared in the void.

Its massive Dragon Mouth clenched a small golden axe.

Blue lightning erupted from its entire body, accompanied by a continuous series of LOUD CRACKS.

”Another dragon?” an old man in white robes shouted excitedly.

In an instant, they had surrounded this Black Dragon.

At this moment, all the Eternal Realm Coffin Carriers had black coffins floating behind them, seemingly ready to provide immense defensive power at any moment.

It looks like escaping today will be incredibly difficult. Big Black Horse looked at the dozen or so powerful Eternal Realm Cultivators surrounding him. Each carried a black coffin and wielded a Longsword, and every one of them emanated a terrifying aura. A sliver of despair crept into his heart.

Although I am exceptionally talented and possess the Rebirth Thunder axe given to me by Master, there are simply too many Eternal Realm Cultivators from the Coffin Carrier Clan. Many of them are in higher realms than I am. Moreover, they have those black coffins to defend against my Rebirth Thunder. This leaves me with no options.

Wait, how could I forget about the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye? Big Black Horse suddenly muttered in annoyance.

My Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye is only at the rudimentary level. Although its power is limited, it might just be enough to make them hesitate for a moment.

With this thought, Big Black Horse’s eyes widened. He circulated Mana to his pupils and immediately activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye.

The wind in the void seemed to stagnate for a second. The Coffin Carriers attacking Big Black Horse paused, their minds momentarily dazed.

Big Black Horse swiftly transformed into a streak of black light and tore through the void to escape!

I must hurry back and get reinforcements. I have to tell Master everything that happened here. The bizarre Faceless God Statue, the Black Mirror that weakens Divine Dragons, the black coffins carried by the Coffin Carriers, and the mysterious container that will be born in the Dragon Cave... all of it... I must tell Master. These mysteries are too important. I absolutely cannot die here at the hands of the Coffin Carrier Clan on Moon Star!

「In the Dragon Temple.」

Seeing the Black Giant Dragon attempting to flee, the old Clan Leader’s expression shifted slightly. Without hesitation, he took the Black Mirror down from the god statue.

The very next moment, he appeared in the void.

He held the Black Mirror high, aiming it in the direction Big Black Horse had fled.

A beam of black light abruptly shot out from the mirror. It pierced through the void with unbelievable speed, striking Big Black Horse in an instant.

”Damn it all to hell!” Big Black Horse suddenly felt his body go limp; he could barely even circulate his Mana. He couldn’t help but curse aloud.

A figure flashed, and the old Clan Leader appeared in the void, holding the Black Mirror.

”You insignificant Little Dragon, merely at the fourth layer of the Eternal Realm, think you can run?” the Clan Leader said indifferently.

His expression was cold, the Black Mirror in his hand still emitting black light that completely enveloped Big Black Horse.

Figures flickered continuously as numerous Eternal Realm Coffin Carriers gathered around.

”Clan Leader, where did this dragon come from? We haven’t seen an Eternal Realm Divine Dragon on the Cangnan Continent for many years,” an elder in a white robe said with a smile.

”Indeed! I wonder if this Black Dragon is a native. If so, it’s quite a treasure,” another elder remarked.

”Let’s Seal it first,” the Clan Leader decided immediately after a moment of thought.

Capturing two Eternal Realm Divine Dragons at once was an unimaginably huge gain for them. It was also an important clue. This indicated that Eternal Realm Divine Dragons might still be alive on the Cangnan Continent, perhaps having escaped from some Secret Realm. If they could follow this lead and capture all the Divine Dragons in that Secret Realm, the Dragon Man God would surely reward them generously, bestowing upon them even more high-quality cultivation resources.

”You want to Seal me? Give up that dream!” Hearing the Clan Leader’s words, a cold sneer spread across Big Black Horse’s face.

The golden axe made of Rebirth Thunder, still in his Dragon Mouth, had grown even more ethereal, no longer as solid as before.

After all, being activated twice in rapid succession, the Rebirth Thunder within the golden axe is also running low.

”You’re already a turtle in a jar. What other tricks can you possibly have?” With a cold smile, the Clan Leader slowly raised his hand and pointed gently into the air.

Black light flickered in the sky, and another black coffin appeared.

WHOOSH!

The coffin lid flew off. The pitch-black opening of the coffin, like the suddenly appearing maw of a monstrous beast, spewed forth a chilling beam of black light that descended.
