Chapter 170 Backstab Reappears, This Halberd - Beware of Arrogance and Impatience!
Inside the Burial Coffin.
"Finally, have we arrived?"
Wei Yuan was filled with anticipation.
He looked forward to finally emerging from the Burial Coffin.
He also looked forward to the rewards from the heavens.
Although the Burial Coffin was Wei Yuan's martial soul, it was fundamentally different from ordinary martial souls.
Ordinary martial souls were simply categorized as weapon martial souls or beast martial souls.
Even more subdivided, they could be classified as healing, food, power attack, agility attack, and so on.
Or, one could say, a body martial soul.
Further subdivided, there were also martial souls like Yu Xiaogang's separated-body martial soul, Luo Sanpao.
Wei Yuan's Burial Coffin martial soul was awakened under near-death circumstances.
Essentially, the Burial Coffin was a condensation of the annihilation attribute in the universe.
After Wei Yuan condensed the Annihilation God Core, he rose from the coffin and became a God King.
This Burial Coffin would naturally become a super artifact for his position as the God of Annihilation, just like the five great enforcers of the God Realm.
Everyone has a matching super artifact.
If Wei Yuan's previous assumption was that he could condense a super artifact after creating his own godhood and becoming a god-king, then his previous reward from the Heavenly Curtain—the Purple-Gold Dragon Pill condensed from the origin of his second martial soul, the Purple-Radiant Heaven-Slaying Dragon, combined with the Purple-Radiant Heaven-Slaying Dragon divine core—and the creation of the Purple-Radiant Heaven-Slaying Dragon avatar, made it certain.
However, the divine position of the Purple-Radiant Heaven-Slaying Dragon already existed.
(The original description of the Beast God's divine position wasn't very detailed, so the Purple-Radiant Heaven-Slaying Dragon was simply named after it.)
After the Heavenly Curtain rewarded him with the peak-stage Purple-Radiant Heaven-Slaying Dragon divine core, the condensed divine position remained unchanged, so there was no question of condensing a super artifact.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Curtain rewarded him with the matching Purple-Radiant Extinction Blade.
As for whether it was the 'original match' of the Purple-Radiant Heaven-Slaying Dragon, Wei Yuan didn't care.
"I'll soon have the Burial Coffin artifact, as well as the divine position and divine core."
"I wonder what kind of reward the Heavenly Canopy will give. It can't be a copy of the previous ones like the Annihilation Dragon Halberd or the Trident of the Sea God, can it?"
Wei Yuan wondered to himself.
Meanwhile, after the Heavenly Canopy announced the number one ranking of the Ten Peak Martial Souls, the entire Douluo Star fell silent!
Number one, again, Wei Yuan?
Inside Heaven Dou City, Qian Lin was still in seclusion refining his divine core, unaware of the changes outside.
But Qian Daoliu and Jin E, who were protecting him outside, looked up at the sky and saw it clearly. Qian Daoliu and Jin E were stunned, their breath catching in their throats.
"This... what is going on?!"
Qian Daoliu suddenly looked up, staring intently at the sky.
His voice trembled with extreme shock.
His usually dignified face, unmoved even by the collapse of Mount Tai, was now filled with disbelief and absurdity:
"Ancestor Wei Yuan... wasn't he just reviewed by the Heavenly Canopy?"
"The third-ranked martial soul on the top ten list, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon! Back then, the Heavenly Curtain directly rewarded him with a peak-stage God-King level divine core, a super artifact, and even a first-level godhood!"
Qian Daoliu felt his understanding crumbling, his hands trembling involuntarily:
"Possessing such a heaven-defying martial soul is already an incredible stroke of luck, enough to sweep across the God Realm.
(Qian Daoliu's idea of sweeping across the God Realm meant being invincible in one-on-one combat, not one person taking down the entire God Realm \(^o^)/~)
But now... this number one ranked 'Heavenly Burial Coffin' actually belongs to Ancestor Wei Yuan?!"
"Twin martial souls? And both martial souls are ranked in the top three of the top ten martial souls?! How is this possible?! How could there be such an illogical existence in this world!"
Jin E, standing beside him, was equally shocked.
But after a brief moment of stunned silence, a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had grasped some crucial clue.
Jin E took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and tentatively looked at Qian Daoliu, saying in a deep voice, "Brother, don't be hasty. Although this sounds unbelievable, I think it might solve a mystery that has been lingering in our hearts for a long time."
"A mystery?"
Qian Daoliu turned his head, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.
"That's right."
Jin E pointed to the ancient black coffin on the sky, which exuded an aura of annihilation.
A glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes as he analyzed, "Brother, is it possible that Ancestor Wei Yuan was betrayed by Poseidon, the Sea God, twenty thousand years ago, suffering severe injuries and even near death? The reason he's survived to this day is because of this Burial Coffin Martial Soul?"
Seeing Qian Daoliu seemingly lost in thought, Golden Crocodile Douluo continued, "Although we don't know the specific abilities of this Burial Coffin Martial Soul, considering Ancestor Wei Yuan's past experiences, the domineering name 'Burial Coffin,' and the characteristics of the third character 'coffin'..."
"A coffin is a place of concealment. It's both a burial ground for the dead and a final refuge to isolate life and seal oneself for longevity."
"This seems to be a trump card specifically used to save one's life, even allowing one to 'feign death' in dire situations to avoid the erosion of time?"
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted sharply, as if struck by lightning.
He recalled the twenty thousand years since Ancestor Wei Yuan disappeared, with no news from either the Douluo Continent or the Sun Moon Continent.
The more he thought about it, the more reasonable Golden Crocodile's speculation seemed.
"Second Brother, what you said might actually be true!"
Qian Daoliu's beard trembled with excitement, his eyes gleaming with unprecedented brilliance:
"If that's the case, then everything makes sense! The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Lord destroys and slaughters, while the Burial Heaven Coffin Lord is annihilated and sealed. One attacks, one defends; one lives, one dies. Ancestor Wei Yuan has long since mastered the laws of life and death!"
Meanwhile, a thousand miles away in Martial Soul City, Bibi Dong, along with Ghostly Charm, Moon Pass, and other titled elders, as well as the few guardians remaining in the Hall of Worship, were no less shocked than Qian Daoliu as they watched the scene on the sky.
"First place...it's him again?"
Bibi Dong gripped her scepter tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
She too possessed twin martial souls, confident in her unparalleled talent, a rarity throughout history.
But now, looking at Wei Yuan's twin martial soul configuration, dominating the first and third spots on the rankings, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up within her.
Were there really so many prodigies in this world?
One person occupying two rankings.
Besides these, most of the remaining eight people are related to Wei Yuan.
Qian Lin is Wei Yuan's biological son.
Ji Ruxue is the wife of Wei Yun, a descendant of Wei Yuan.
Wei Linglong is a descendant of Wei Yuan and Wei Yun's great-grandfather.
Qian Renxue is a descendant of Wei Yuan and Qian Yuhan. Wei Tianchen is a descendant of Wei Yuan.
Long Lingfei is the Grand Elder of the Sun Moon Empire's Hall of Worship, so he can barely be considered related to Wei Yuan.
Apart from these, there are only Tang Chen and Poseidon, this ill-fated couple.
This world is truly unjust!
"The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon is already at the God-King level, so if the Burial Coffin can rank first, what terrifying level must it be?"
The entire Spirit Hall fell into a deathly silence at this moment.
Then, an uncontrollable fervor and awe erupted.
It was absolute worship of their ancestor's strength!
The sky changed.
A familiar scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
On the boundless sea.
Wei Yuan was utterly exhausted, having just slain the Xuanming Sea Dragon King, who possessed nearly a million years of cultivation.
