Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

At this moment, White Feather’s aura was chaotic.

Although the strongest of those flying beasts only had the combat strength of the Late Stage of Perceiving Dao Realm, their numbers were overwhelming.

After a fierce battle, White Feather’s combat strength had dropped by thirty to forty percent, while there were still four to five hundred flying beasts left.

Without assistance, it would be extremely difficult for White Feather to kill all these flying beasts.

However, with Billy’s involvement, these flying beasts were clearly no match.

The entire battle lasted for about half an hour. Thousands of flying beasts were slain, and the remaining ones fled in all directions.

Billy and his team did not pursue them, allowing them to scatter.

“We’ve struck it rich this time!” After a brief rest, Stout began harvesting beast cores.

Due to the sheer number of beasts, Azure Dragon and Azure Fang joined Stout in the task.

They ignored beast cores from beasts with only initial Entering Dao Realm strength, deeming them unworthy.

Even so, it took them half an hour to finish. Looking at the pile of high-level beast cores on the ground, their eyes lit up.

“Boss, what should we do? Should we refine them first?” Stout asked Billy.

“Put them away for now,” Billy replied. “That bird seems to have brought us to this village for a reason. Let’s see what’s going on first.”

“Got it!” Stout responded and stored all the beast cores in his storage ring.

At that moment, the bird chirped and flew into the village.

“Let’s follow it!” Billy said, leading the group after the bird.

Soon, they arrived at a cave behind the village. Even standing outside, they could feel an eerie aura emanating from within.

The bird flew straight into the cave without stopping.

“Stay behind me and be careful,” Billy said, holding his kylin blade as he stepped inside. The others followed closely.

As expected, the eerie aura grew stronger as they ventured deeper, sending chills down their spines.

After about fifteen minutes of walking, they reached a medium-sized space.

The area was filled with jagged rocks, and in the center stood a tightly sealed stone coffin with nothing else around it.

The bird perched directly above the stone coffin.

It was clear that this stone coffin was its destination.

Billy released his spiritual power to probe the contents of the coffin, but to his surprise, his spiritual power dissipated as soon as it touched the coffin, as if absorbed by something.

Casey and Harleen faced the same issue; no one could detect what was inside.

“This is intriguing. I want to see what’s inside!” Stout said, walking up to the coffin and attempting to push the lid.

“Be careful, Stout!” Night Orchid warned.

“It won’t budge!” Stout replied with a slight twitch of his mouth.

“Won’t budge?” Judge and Soul Chaser joined him.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

The three of them exerted their strength together, but the lid didn’t move an inch.

Then, White Tiger and Black Tortoise also helped, but there was no change.

“Boss, should we try blasting it open?” Stout asked Billy.

“I doubt that will work,” Billy replied thoughtfully.

“I don’t believe it!” Stout said, asking everyone to step back.

The bird seemed to understand Stout’s intention and flew away from the coffin, landing on the ground nearby.

Next, Stout gathered his full strength and struck with his Mysterious Polar Fist.

A dull sound echoed through the space, causing the cave to shake.

Debris fell from the walls, and the rocks around the coffin turned to dust. However, the coffin itself remained completely unaffected.

Seeing this, Azure Dragon and the others couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

Stout’s punch could shatter even iron walls, yet the coffin was unscathed. It was truly remarkable!

“Boss, why don’t you try using your Cracked Sky Blade Technique?” White Tiger suggested to Billy.

“It won’t work,” Billy shook his head. “This coffin can’t be opened by brute force alone.”

“Billy Boy, is there an array on this coffin?” Amber asked Billy.

“There shouldn’t be,” Ivy answered for Billy. “I can’t sense any formation lines.”

“I can’t sense anything either,” Billy confirmed.

“Then what’s going on?” Amber frowned slightly.

“The bird probably knows,” Billy said, looking at White Feather. “White Feather, ask that bird what’s inside this coffin and how to open it.”

White Feather chirped and approached the other flying beast. After some chatter between them, White Feather moved to the back of the coffin and looked at it before chirping at Billy.

Soon, everyone gathered around White Feather. They saw a handprint indentation on the coffin wall but nothing else unusual.

“White Feather, what does this mean?” Stout asked White Feather.

White Feather didn’t answer directly but pointed at the handprint and chirped again.

“White Feather, are you suggesting we place our hands on it?” Harleen asked.

White Feather nodded in response.

“Will that work?” Stout placed his hand on the indentation but nothing happened after a while.

“Is this a joke?” Stout looked at White Feather with a pout.

White Feather shook its head and looked at Stout with a disdainful expression.

“Let me try,” Judge said as he placed his hand on the handprint. After waiting for a while, there was still no reaction.

Then everyone from Azure Dragon took turns trying, but the result was the same each time.

“Boss, why don’t you give it a shot?” White Tiger suggested to Billy.

“Alright,” Billy nodded and placed his hand on the indentation.

To everyone’s surprise, as soon as Billy’s hand touched it, the coffin began to shake and its frequency increased rapidly.

Seeing this, the bird chirped happily.

“What is happening? Does this coffin recognize people?” White Tiger exclaimed.

“It might be related to Mr. Billy’s physique or bloodline,” Aubree speculated thoughtfully.

“That could be possible,” Amber agreed with a nod.

“A cold handprint can determine someone’s physique? That’s too far-fetched,” Soul Chaser commented.

“In this vast universe, strange things happen all the time. Haven’t we encountered many miraculous events on our journey?” Opal remarked.

“That’s true,” Soul Chaser nodded in agreement.

As they conversed, the shaking of the coffin gradually subsided until it returned to its original state. And then… nothing happened!

“What just happened? Is that it?” Bob exclaimed at the coffin.

Casey and the others were equally puzzled, including the bird which also seemed deflated.
