Chapter 191 - 187: The Heaven-Avoiding Coffin Hidden in the Scroll
The tale speaks of how Daoist Equal to Heaven battled with Huang Tuqiu in the Flat Peach Garden, driving him to a state of utter disarray, with a single palm strike nearly shattering all his internal organs.
As Huang Tuqiu struggled to his feet, Daoist Equal to Heaven’s face darkened, and he barked, "Will you release the captive or not? If not, do not blame me for being merciless!"
Huang Tuqiu would never consider returning something already within his grasp, and besides, those Seven-Colored Flat Peaches were truly rare treasures. Eating just one had unimaginable effects, and if he could refine Tao Yao, he would naturally reap tremendous benefits. However, Tao Yao possessed an amulet, and with his mana, the refining process would still be too difficult.
Huang Tuqiu cried out, "Help! Someone is forcibly entering the Peach Garden!"
Daoist Equal to Heaven chuckled coldly, "This place has already been enveloped by my mana rules; your cries will not carry beyond it!"
Huang Tuqiu’s complexion shifted. After clashing with Daoist Equal to Heaven a couple of times, he knew he was no match, and that continuing the fight could prove perilous.
"Fine, if you press me so relentlessly, then I’ll have to unleash my killer move!" Huang Tuqiu gritted his teeth.
He truly did not wish to release the prisoner, preferring to sacrifice an uncontrollable killer move rather than let go of this great opportunity to become a Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal. Consuming those nine peaches could likely lead to an immediate ascension to Mixed Yuan Golden Immortality. Such treasures were practically defying the heavens, and having the Creator’s mana wasn’t an impossibility! While the realm could be slowly cultivated, with terrifying mana at his disposal, would he have to worry about losing to others?
With a flick of the scroll in his possession, Huang Tuqiu unleashed it, and with a thunderous boom, a majestic authority emerged. A pitch-black coffin tumbled out from the unrolled scroll.
The moment Huang Tuqiu unveiled the coffin, he quickly distanced himself, fearful of its contents. It had always been hidden within the scroll since the day he found it. Once, when he was being pursued, he summoned the coffin, and the very pressure from it crushed his pursuer to death - Huang Tuqiu barely survived, protected only by holding the scroll. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he would never summon the coffin.
"What is this thing?" Daoist Equal to Heaven was startled. The crushing pressure was even more horrifying than the fists of the Mahoraga.
