The coffin was still that coffin.
But its aura had completely changed.
In the blink of an eye, the originally unremarkable anhun coffin was forcefully transformed into a powerful, naturally divine and awe-inspiring rule-based artifact right before Mingxi's eyes!
"Master, it's done!! It really is the anhun yin-yang smelting coffin! I wonder who it was? To be able to use strength against strength to such an extent, it's incredible!"
Guangguang didn't get to hear the rest of her master's 'and', but through Mingxi's vision, it clearly saw the transformation of the anhun coffin.
It couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
This anhun yin-yang smelting coffin has only appeared once since ancient times; it is truly an artifact that can only be refined by seizing the creation of heaven and earth.
And it has only one function: to melt all things, regardless of life or death.
Unless it's a divine artifact.
As the anhun yin-yang smelting coffin was successfully refined, Mingxi could clearly feel the vibration of the jade box in her hand, as if it was trembling in fear.
"Master, quick, quick, quickly put the jade box into the furnace."
Mingxi didn't hesitate or waver; no matter what was inside this jade box, she couldn't risk opening it. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Even if everything she imagined was an overthinking, even if the contents were beneficial and harmless to her.
Some opportunities are not for mortals to touch!
"Bang."
She threw the jade box into the now-quiet coffin furnace.
The moment the jade box was thrown into the furnace, an invisible air pressure condensed within the coffin, and chains appeared out of thin air.
These chains varied in form; some resembled ice picks, some vines, and others lightning bolts...
In an instant, they tightly wrapped and bound the frantically trembling jade box.
The smelting began.
It was at this moment that an unexpected event occurred.
Mingxi and Bright Crystal, and even Guangguang, had almost all of their attention focused on the Yin Yang Furnace Coffin.
So when a figure swiftly flew down from the 'tomb raider's tunnel', bringing with it an overwhelming killing intent and striking at Mingxi, they were truly startled.
"Lingyan!"
Flight-type Heavenly-Rank skill, Doomsday Eye of the Storm.
It turned out that Ni Heta and his Saint-level Pet Beast, Lingyan Dragon Lion, had returned to this great tomb one step earlier than Mingxi.
But they did not return to the main burial chamber, but were plundering nearby burial chambers.
Why wasn't the anhun coffin moved?
Because the anhun coffin has a particularly overbearing characteristic, and it only appears after its death.
It's called 【Burial of the Soul into the Coffin, Heaven and Earth Immovable】.
This means that after a corpse is placed inside and the coffin is closed, the anhun coffin automatically becomes the core of the tomb, and no one can move it an inch unless heaven and earth are destroyed.
Of course, the saying is a bit exaggerated.
If someone truly wanted to take it, they wouldn't need to destroy heaven and earth; they would just need to destroy the entire great tomb, and that would be enough.
But the value of the anhun coffin is both high and not so high; ultimately, it can only be used for the dead.
Most of these support offerings are capable individuals and truly don't care for a mere anhun coffin, which is why no one touched it.
This was also why Mingxi was certain the anhun coffin was still in its original place. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Ni Heta's return to the great tomb was not for the anhun coffin.
It was because, during the pursuit of Mingxi leaving the great tomb, Lippert informed him of something: he had once discovered a Soul-Returning Grass in a certain burial chamber of this great tomb.
This Soul-Returning Grass, of course, was not some immortal herb that could bring people back from the dead.
Its function was very simple: it could restore the brain region of Beast Tamers who had suffered backlash.
Therefore, its value was actually very high.
But the Soul-Returning Grass has a characteristic: it will wither and die soon after being pulled from its original growing area.
So, in this world, there only exist freshly growing Soul-Returning Grasses, but no Soul-Returning Grasses that can be perfectly preserved.
Normal Beast Tamers wouldn't bother to pick it even if they found it.
Lippert noticed that Ni Heta's brain region had been severely damaged not long ago, so he used this information to do the other party a favor.
Or rather, at that time, he didn't want Ni Heta to follow him!
Lippert indeed didn't lie to Ni Heta; Ni Heta did find a Soul-Returning Grass in the great tomb, picked and consumed it on the spot, and was just about to go back to settle scores with Mingxi when he unexpectedly discovered Mingxi sneaking back.
His Lingyan Dragon Lion was, after all, Saint-level; although it wasn't Ghost-type, it could easily temporarily conceal their aura with a few tricks.
So he not only saw the transformation of the anhun coffin but also seized the opportunity when Mingxi and her Pet Beasts were focused on the Yin Yang Furnace Coffin, preparing to deliver a killing blow and, incidentally, take the Yin Yang Furnace Coffin, which was clearly a powerful artifact, for himself.
He envisioned it beautifully.
Reality, however, was harsh.
Most of Mingxi's attention was indeed focused on the Yin Yang Furnace Coffin, but wasn't there still a small portion left?
In a place like this, where powerful, unfamiliar Beast Tamers were everywhere and accidents could happen at any moment, if she could relax her guard, she would have died a hundred times over already.
Although Ni Heta's appearance here was indeed beyond her expectations.
"Clang."
shen guan lit up again, and the Golden Bell phantom automatically protected its master.
But shen guan was not yet fully repaired and was not a true divine artifact.
The Golden Bell phantom dissipated after blocking the Saint-level Pet Beast's full-strength attack, and at the same time, most of the energy shen guan had just accumulated was consumed.
It would be unable to use this phantom for protection again in a short time.
Unless the shen guan itself was used.
"Taiyi! Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain!"
Seeing that the first strike failed, Ni Heta gritted his teeth and roared with a ferocious expression.
Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain is a relatively famous combination skill in the Beast Tamer world, formed by the combination of the high-level wind-attribute skill Storm and the high-level fire-attribute skill Fire Tornado.
Because the skill's power is very strong and it is a relatively easy combination skill to master, it often appears on Beast Tamer battle stages, especially in team battles.
"Guwo!"
Bright {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Crystal instantly became enraged when it realized Mingxi was being ambushed right in front of it.
Its small body charged forward like a wild ox; by this time, the side effects of its Scarlet Berserker skill had worn off, so it showed no fear of the opponent's much higher strength.
Flying Kick, Stone Head with Headbutt, Heavy Punch, All-out Attack...
A series of close-quarters combat skills were used in a seamless flurry.
Even though Lingyan Dragon Lion was powerful, it was so overwhelmed by Bright Crystal's fearless and violently wild fighting style that it had to temporarily halt its attack on Mingxi.
It focused all its efforts on dealing with the troublesome little fierce beast.
"Tai'er, Tai'san, you go!"
Ni Heta had lost a General-level Pet Beast, but because he was lucky enough to take the Soul-Returning Grass in time, he successfully alleviated the collapse of his brain region.
Therefore, his other Pet Beasts were not affected.
He didn't just have Lingyan Dragon Lion as his only Pet Beast, and just as he and his Pet Beasts were sharpening their blades for Mingxi —
"Ming Ye."
"Yin He."
In the confined, narrow space, a perfectly majestic and powerful figure, like a war god, stood in front of Mingxi, with a dangerously aura-filled thunderbird perched on its shoulder.
Undoubtedly, it was Golden Yuanbao and Scarlet Jade who had arrived.
Mingxi looked excitedly at Scarlet Jade standing in front of her; its current form indicated that it too had completed its evolution.
