They had already felt the suppression of the gravity formation and had to constantly deal with the surrounding stone statues. These stone statues were not affected in the slightest here, and their attacks were still fierce.
Zhou Yan was not too worried about himself. Although he faced the most attacks, his own strength was immense, and this gravity was not a problem.
"Are you all alright?"
Bai Qi and the others had good talent, but they had not been summoned for long and still needed time to grow.
"Don't worry, Lord, we can still handle these stone statues."
"Yes."
Naturally, they could not lose face in front of their Lord. If they couldn't even resist these stone statues, they would likely be mocked by others.
"Hold on a little longer, and we'll reach the destination soon."
Zhou Yan could see that they were under a lot of pressure.
The main reason was that they could only rely on their physical strength to fight these stone statues. Using spiritual energy against them was useless and would even increase their strength.
Zhou Yan attacked rapidly, continuously using the "Tyrant Heaven Spear Technique." Terrifying spear shadows surged like waves towards the stone statues.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Ahead, a wall of stone statues formed two rows. Zhou Yan, holding the Dragon Soul Spear, charged towards the stone statues with supreme divine power. The fierce force directly knocked all the stone statues away.
"Charge with me!"
Zhou Yan rushed forward quickly and stood at the edge of the stone statues, allowing others to pass first, while he blocked all the stone statues outside the formation.
After everyone had entered the range of the sarcophagus, the stone statues indeed stopped moving.
"We've finally broken through this formation," Yan Chixia sighed with relief and panted heavily, saying, "Fortunately, the armor the Lord gave us has strong defense. I was cut a few times, but it didn't break."
"The Lord gives us diamond-quality armor, which is only one tier below spiritual artifacts. Each piece of equipment costs at least hundreds of millions of spirit coins. Only the Lord can equip us with such top-tier gear."
Meng Yi and the others deeply respected Zhou Yan. Although they didn't know about the soldiers under other lords, they believed their Lord was definitely the best to his soldiers.
This was because ninety percent of the soldiers in their entire territory were equipped with diamond sets.
If spiritual artifacts weren't so precious, impossible to buy in bulk on the market, and difficult to forge, their Lord would have directly bought spiritual artifacts to equip them.
"Don't celebrate too early, we still have a big one to deal with," Zhou Yan looked at the sarcophagus in the air.
Although it was very calm now, that oppressive and terrifying aura still lingered above it.
"That's right, the one here is the most terrifying. This should be that unknown emperor, right?"
They all looked at the sarcophagus suspended in mid-air. Although it was calm now, they could all feel the terrifying death aura.
The aura of death lingered above them, making them very uncomfortable.
They were all waiting to see how Zhou Yan would handle it.
"Don't act rashly, let's go forward and check the situation first," Zhou Yan said.
He walked towards the sarcophagus.
Two hundred meters... one hundred and fifty meters... one hundred meters...
Nine chains began to clink, emitting black death energy, as if they could fall at any moment.
"Be vigilant!" Zhou Yan said.
They all felt an explosive aura, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Lord, this aura is so powerful, like the aura of the Lord of Death," Yan Chixia said.
"What are you afraid of? In front of our Lord, any Lord of Death is a joke," Wu Song said.
"Then you go and show the Lord how powerful you are," Yan Chixia said.
"Yan Chixia, do you want to spar with me privately!" Wu Song found that Yan Chixia was always targeting him.
"Enough, let this Lord see what kind of ghostly apparitions this is!"
Zhou Yan stepped forward again. The suspended sarcophagus suddenly began to descend, landing directly on the nine dragon head statues.
Then, a death aura spread from the nine dragon sculptures, and they actually began to move, as if they had come to life.
The legendary Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin was nothing more than this.
The nine stone dragon statues began to pull the sarcophagus towards them.
"Careful!"
"Bang!"
The stone dragons attacked Zhou Yan and the others, who all dodged.
Seeing the nine stone dragon statues, Zhou Yan disdainfully said, "They are just statues. Let me show you what a real dragon soul is like."
Zhou Yan began to unleash the skills of the Dragon Soul Spear. A dragon shadow roared out from the Dragon Soul Spear, then transformed into energy and shot towards the stone dragon statues.
"Rumble!"
With a dragon's roar, the dragon soul directly shattered one stone dragon. Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin was reduced to eight.
Zhou Yan charged forward again, unleashing a surge of spiritual energy that transformed into a heaven-shattering divine spear. He swung it down forcefully.
"Crack!"
Another stone dragon was shattered by Zhou Yan.
On the other side, Bai Qi also unleashed his God of Slaughter Blood Sea, forming a blood-colored giant sword that shattered a stone dragon.
Chen Qingzhi, Meng Yi, Yan Chixia, and Wu Song also shattered a stone dragon each.
The remaining two stone dragons were shattered by their combined efforts.
It was at this moment that the sarcophagus stood upright. The entire coffin lid began to shake violently, and then with a bang, it flew towards Zhou Yan and the others.
Zhou Yan raised the Dragon Soul Spear and swept it forcefully, shattering the coffin lid into powder. Then, a black shadow exuding endless death energy flew out from inside.
He wore dragon robes, his face was pale and bloodless, and his black, blood-red pupils were filled with the terrifying aura of the abyss.
A terrifying aura emanated from him.
"You dare disturb my cultivation, you all deserve to die!" the Corpse Emperor inside said.
Zhou Yan could feel that this corpse's cultivation had reached a very powerful level, at least above the ninety-fifth heaven.
This was why they felt such immense pressure. If the other party were allowed to continue cultivating like this, it was not impossible for them to ascend to godhood.
"Just a dead body, still dreaming of immortality after death. You have killed millions of yin souls to condense yin and death energy for your cultivation. You should have ceased to exist in this world long ago."
He had already seen the crux of the matter: the nine iron chains connected the entire underground palace, allowing them to gather all the yin energy, resentment, and death energy to provide for this Corpse Emperor's cultivation.
"Die!"
The Corpse Emperor roared, unleashing a terrifying death aura from his body, and then charged towards Zhou Yan and the others.
"Kill!"
Zhou Yan unleashed the Yin and Yang energies, forming a Tai Chi shield, and then directed all of this death energy back towards the Corpse Emperor.
He directly swallowed it and grabbed a peerless divine weapon, flying towards Zhou Yan again.
