Peerless Immortal God (Beyond The Dao)

Chapter 164- Yan jian and Li Yue'er

Chapter 164

In the core area of the Yin ghosts forest, a thousand meters around the very center of the Yin ghosts forest, there was a huge area completely devoid of trees, beasts and any other life form. This was due to the unbearably dense Yin energy which had condensed into thick fogs and liquid in this thousand meter space. Even ordinary Yin ghosts would be unable to survive in this area for a long time.

At this moment, in this thousand meter area, at the very center of the forest where even the eye sight of an imperial master was limited to a few feet, twelve tall figures stood around a large coffin. The coffin was at least five times larger than a grown human, and it was covered with mystic runes which seemed to contain infinite profoundness.

The coffin was held down by nine massive divine chains which extended into the thick fog and vanished from sight. The chains were also covered in runes and gave off a time worn aura.

Moreover, it could be noticed that the endless ghost energy which pervaded the Yin ghosts forest was actually surging out of the cracks in this coffin!

It was unimaginable how the entire Yin ghosts forest was created by the energy seeping out of a single coffin!

As for the twelve figures who stood there, they looked like normal humans, only that they had pitch black eyes and gave off a suffocating ghost aura.

Otherwise, they would be seen as ordinary humans.

But which ordinary human could stand here in the very center of the Yin Ghost forest?

These twelve were not humans. Rather, they were Yin ghosts. Among the myriad Yin ghosts living in this forest, they held high and mighty positions and earned the respect of all. These twelve were the twelve ghost Monarchs of the Yin ghosts forest!

They stood at the apex of the forest and commanded all life forms living here.

Merely by standing here together, they gave off an infinitely majestic aura which overlooked this world.

The twelve monarchs stared at the coffin which was much larger than them silently with great respect in their eyes.

"The seal has weakened, but that is only by a tiny bit. If we keep using these weak humans, we would need a minimum of two hundred years to break the seal, and that is considering the humans are foolish enough to keep entering the forest and sending themselves to their deaths." One of the Monarchs spoke with a thick voice. In this area filled with ghost energy, his voice didn't even echo.

The other monarchs were silent for a minute before another one spoke.
"It doesn't matter. The true plan was to draw those four dynasty's old monsters out here. The shockwaves from the battle should be the final push we needed to open up the coffin. Once we can enter the coffin, the seal will exist only in name. It would be easy to break the seal once we've freed the ancestor from the coffin."

The others nodded. "But we have to make sure they do not notice the ancestor's coffin. The battle will have to take place at the edge of the thousand meter zone. That way, we can hide the coffin and the shockwaves of the battle will still reach here." another monarch added.

"Those from the four dynasties only have a guess on the true secret of the forest, but they have no idea of what it is exactly. This time, we will catch them off guard and break the seal once and for all."

"Talk of those monsters, when are they going to arrive?" A robust monarch asked with a deep voice.

"Five days. They will definitely slaughter their way to the thousand meters zone within five days."

"Send out a summoning order. All Yin ghosts, soldiers and the generals are to gather at the edge of the thousand meters zone in two days. They have two more days to finish replenishing their ghost cores..." A dark skinned monarch with the strongest aura of them all spoke. The others all nodded and began to vanish inexplicably, leaving this area.
