Indeed. It was a coffin. Lu Yuan could see it clearly.
After entering this ultimate place, everything else seemed entirely normal. It was only that blood-red coffin that felt completely amiss no matter how one looked at it.
In particular, he could feel that the inexplicable aura from before seemed to originate from within it.
Wasn't this supposed to be a land of fortune, a mythological secret realm? Why was there a coffin here? At this moment, Lu Yuan was also filled with doubt, but he had no idea why.
Because this was also his first time entering. His understanding of the Immortal Cave was merely based on hearsay from his past life, knowing only that fortune lay here.
Another point was that some kind of divine object would emerge here. But as to what it was specifically, he was not entirely clear.
So to understand what was going on, he had to take a look. Of course, Lu Yuan was not a reckless person, so he did not act immediately.
He merely opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye to observe the coffin. Unfortunately, he could see essentially nothing.
The coffin was shrouded by a peculiar power, making it impossible to see anything at all.
"What's going on? How can there be a coffin in this ultimate land of fortune?"
"Weren't there supposed to be fortunes here? What's the deal with that coffin? It looks rather bizarre."
"Could it be that the greatest inheritance and fortune are inside it?" At this moment, the extraterrestrial beings all poured in.
Their cultivation realms were at least in the Sovereign King Realm. Many were in the Saint Realm, as they felt only this cultivation level was fit to enter.
After all, nearly everyone subscribed to the principle that opportunity and danger coexisted; without immense strength, how could one have the means to seize an opportunity?
However, once they saw that blood-red coffin, each was dumbfounded, unsure of what was happening.
They felt that this place looked completely unlike a land of fortune; it resembled some kind of burial ground instead, eerie to the extreme.
"What is going on? Won't we know if we just test it?" At this moment, Yu Heng of the Eternal Clan spoke up.
He glanced at Lu Yuan not far away, a look of wariness surfacing in his eyes, but he felt the matter at hand was more important.
Suppressing the various thoughts in his heart, he continued, "Everyone step aside. Let me see what this is about." Having said that, Yu Heng took a stride forward, the divine halo behind his head radiating layer upon layer of light.
In an instant, a Divine Chain of Judgment materialized. It then surged toward the blood-red coffin atop the distant elevated platform.
Clang!
The moment the two made contact, a metallic chime rang out. And in the very next instant, everyone saw that the Divine Chain of Judgment vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
"This..." Seeing this, Yu Heng's eyes brimmed with shock. He had never encountered such a situation before.
The technique he had deployed had abruptly vanished, and he had no idea why.
"Did you discover anything?" Beside him, Lei Xiao also spoke up to ask. His tone carried a touch of courtesy; after all, that was the Eternal Clan.
Standing on par with the Ji clan, they were an existence the Celestial Clan could not afford to provoke.
"There is immense danger here. If we wish to pass safely, it will likely take tremendous effort. I propose that everyone put aside the grudges in our hearts and temporarily unite to first find out what is going on with that blood-red coffin. What do you think?" Yu Heng quickly regained his composure, a smile emerging on his face as he looked around at the crowd and offered this suggestion.
"Of course. We all came for the fortunes; I also believe we truly should unite." Lei Xiao agreed with this proposal, looking toward the blood-red coffin.
To find out what it truly was, one had to approach it. But who could guarantee that there would be no danger in the process?
It was better to unite first and pick out a few cannon fodder. Thus, having spoken those words, his gaze swept across the crowd.
Meanwhile, Yu Heng also looked at the gathered crowd. The Celestial Clan and the Eternal Clan were currently the two most powerful clans that had descended upon Earth—especially the Eternal Clan, whose fame was far-reaching.
Earlier, although Yu Heng had fought Lu Yuan outside and gained no advantage, his combat prowess had still shocked many.
After all, everyone present knew that the human Lu Yuan was extraordinarily powerful, shocking the world every time he made a move.
Under such circumstances, a member of the Eternal Clan had been able to battle him and not only survive, but merely end up at a disadvantage.
Those extraterrestrial beings had finally begun to understand the weight of the name 'Eternal Clan.' After all, the truly powerful figures of this clan had not even fully descended yet.
So very quickly, everyone agreed to a temporary alliance. In a land of fortune, such a coffin had suddenly appeared; anyone would feel unsettled.
"Now, we are temporarily allied, but I fear someone might scoff at this." Seeing everyone agree, Yu Heng turned his head and directed his gaze toward Lu Yuan with an unfriendly glint.
He indeed held wariness toward the man before him, but that did not mean he was afraid. With this remark, his goal was to make Lu Yuan the target of public criticism.
Now, all those who had entered this ultimate place were extraterrestrial beings. Though they held grudges among themselves, there was no doubt they would stand together when facing the human Lu Yuan alone. Sure enough, as his words fell, the extraterrestrial beings present all turned their gazes onto Lu Yuan. The ultimate place possessed the greatest inheritances and fortunes; most of them had descended primarily for this purpose.
Lu Yuan had put too much pressure on them during this period. If given the opportunity to eliminate him, they naturally would not hesitate.
And now that everyone was united, with Yu Heng of the Eternal Clan personally taking the lead, the crowd tacitly drew together.
It was worth noting that there were over a hundred Saint Realm experts present, each extraordinarily formidable.
Adding beings with inherently tremendous talent from the Celestial Clan, the Eternal Clan, and others, once fully united, they would not need to fear even a Great Saint.
Now, it was just one human, Lu Yuan. Some people calculated the odds and concluded that their chances of victory were high. At this moment, those who realized this all cast their gazes over.
"I know full well what you are thinking. If you wish to make a move, then feel free to do so."
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan had also noticed the stir among these people, yet he did not take it to heart at all, his expression calm.
It was not as if he had never faced more perilous situations; the current predicament was nothing to him.
In truth, Lu Yuan had always known that certain great battles were simply unavoidable.
During this period, these extraterrestrial beings had been suppressed by him for a long time. Deep resentment had long accumulated in their hearts, leaving them eager for a fight.
Therefore, Lu Yuan was not surprised in the least. As it happened, he could take this opportunity to fight once more.
Merely a hundred or so extraterrestrial saints.
At worst... he would slaughter them all!
