Chapter 713: Chapter 375: The Function of the Coffin
[You know, using the Life and Death Mirror to reassemble Cave Immortal’s fate might not necessarily bring you any benefits. On the contrary, it might backfire.]
[You decisively gave up on helping Cave Immortal and turned to using the Art of Fate, intending to strangle the potential danger in the bud.]
[With the consumption of 200 points of the Demon Race’s Luck, your Art of Fate works effectively, reversing life and death, defying the laws of heaven and earth. Even with the coffin isolating Heavenly Secrets, Cave Immortal’s tribulation still arrived in advance.]
[There is calm all around and nothing special is happening, but you know that there must be astonishing changes happening inside the coffin at this moment. You silently watch as the cause and effect between you and Cave Immortal disappear completely.]
[You know that Cave Immortal has completely gone through life and death by now, but there is still a strand of demonic thought in the coffin, so you can’t be careless and wait quietly.]
[A minute later, there is no movement in the coffin, and you keep waiting.]
[Two minutes later, everything around is still, and no danger has occurred.]
[Three minutes later, when it is confirmed that there won’t be any accidents, you prepare to take action and then approach the coffin, intending to open it.]
[The first foreknowledge ends, do you wish to continue?]
“Isolation from Heavenly Secrets? This coffin also serves this purpose.”
“No wonder the resurrection process would be interrupted as soon as the coffin was opened. It seems that reversing life and death like this is most taboo against being detected by Heavenly Secrets.”
Su Nan suddenly understood. Previously, when he saw in the foreknowledge that only opening the coffin would allow him to use the Life and Death Mirror, he realized that the coffin was no ordinary object.
The current foreknowledge thoroughly confirmed his guess.
“If I hide inside this coffin, wouldn’t I be able to resist the power of destiny from the Heavenly Race?”
Su Nan suddenly had another idea.
If the coffin was sturdy enough, perhaps he could use it as a shell to protect himself.
By just hiding inside, he could wait until the Heavenly Race’s power was exhausted and win without a fight.
Even if the Heavenly Race noticed the anomaly of the coffin and didn’t attack continuously, as long as their first or second attack could be consumed, it would still have a significant effect on him.
Thinking of this, Su Nan became excited.
“Continue.”
[Under your Art of Fate, Cave Immortal silently perishes within the coffin. You then approach the coffin, ready to open it.]
[The coffin is not protected by any particular power and is easily opened by you. With the opening of one corner of the coffin, a surge of demonic energy bursts out, transforming into a middle-aged man.]
[You know that the middle-aged man is the demonic thought within Cave Immortal. Seeing you, the middle-aged man is very surprised, then becomes furious, questioning what you did to ruin Cave Immortal’s resurrection process.]
[From the demonic thought’s words, you learn that after ten thousand years of silent erosion, the middle-aged demonic thought has unknowingly eroded most of Cave Immortal’s soul and physical body.]
[As soon as Cave Immortal was successfully resurrected, the demonic thought planned to seize him completely, but your appearance thwarted his plan, and his ten thousand years of effort went down the drain.]
“Cave Immortal’s soul and physical body have mostly been eroded?”
“By this logic, even without me, it would be difficult for Cave Immortal to resurrect!”
Su Nan was shocked and couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he changed his plan to destroy Cave Immortal’s resurrection.
If he had allowed it to continue, and Cave Immortal had really resurrected, he would have been helping the enemy instead. Moreover, a Saint Level demon instead of a Saint of the human race would have emerged!
This also explains why in the previous foreknowledge, Cave Immortal was so shameless and wanted to control him directly. His soul and actions were influenced by the demon.
[The demonic thought harbors murderous intent towards you. You react swiftly, and your avatar attacks immediately, but unfortunately, the demonic thought is far more powerful than you imagined. With a Peak Emperor-level strength, you are no match for it.]
[The demonic thought is furious but doesn’t kill you immediately, still wanting to know how you managed to ruin Cave Immortal’s resurrection.]
[You are no match for the demonic thought, and you die.]
“A Peak Emperor-Level demon!”
Su Nan’s heart sank. There was no doubt that his previous plan was doomed to fail.
Not long ago, he had witnessed a Peak Emperor-Level Demon God exchange blows with a demon saint!
It seemed reasonable. An existence that could cause a Saint Level expert headache, and require constant suppression, couldn’t be ordinary.
It could even be confirmed that the peak strength of the demonic thought was the same as that of Cave Immortal, which was Saint Level.
“This is difficult.”
Su Nan pondered for a moment and wasn’t sure what to do.
Like the King Level, the gap between each Emperor level is immense.
The gap between Early Stage of Emperor Level and Middle-stage Emperor Grade is as significant as the gap between King Level and Emperor Level. The difficulty of defeating a higher-level enemy is immense, especially when facing a demon.
Even with his numerous techniques and full effort, it wouldn’t be guaranteed he could defeat a Middle-Stage Emperor Level.
When facing a Peak Emperor-Level, he could be killed instantly.
“This coffin is very special; it seems as long as I don’t open it, the demonic thought can’t come out.”
“If that’s the case, perhaps I can take the coffin away directly and wait until I have enough strength to open it.” Su Nan thought.
In the foreknowledge, he waited for two minutes before opening the coffin, then the demonic thought came out. Given the demon’s strength, it must not have been waiting for someone to open the coffin and then ambush them.
In this case, there was only one explanation.
Without a doubt, Su Nan suspected that was set up by Cave Immortal himself to prevent the demon from leaving his body after occupying it.
