Chapter 702: Chapter 589: Ancestor Dragon Imperial Mausoleum, Mountain Coffin Corpse_2

Most people had not noticed.

As more and more groups gathered, countless crimson spots of light suddenly appeared in the direction of West Capital City.

In the blink of an eye, the area around the mausoleum was lit up as bright as day.

The crowd, shocked, had just lifted their heads.

They saw crimson stars streaking across the night sky, hurtling towards them.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The earth trembled, mountains collapsed, and the ground split open.

No matter how skilled or famous the tomb raiders were,

they were instantly blown away by the fierce barrage of Fire Meteors, leaving chaos and heavy casualties in their wake.

When the dust settled, the few lucky ones who survived saw a crimson military banner not far away.

They couldn’t help but scream in horror,

"It’s the Fire Gourd King and his Sun-Holding Army from the All Appearances Dao! Run for your lives!"

They immediately forgot about the alluring treasures inside the tomb.

Turning their heads, they rushed toward the dense forests of Mount Li.

A magician, while casting an Escape Skill, cursed aloud:

"Damn it! Even if the All Appearances Dao has taken over Yong State, do you still want to monopolize the Ancestor Dragon Imperial Mausoleum?

Aren’t you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?

I must spread the news of the mausoleum’s emergence to the world. If I can’t have it, neither can you all!"

However, thousands of Taoist Soldiers had already set up a Heaven and Earth Net on the perimeter, waiting for a long time.

A giant man, clad in a fiery red battle armor and carrying a red gourd on his back, stepped forth from the crowd.

Looking at the fleeing magicians, Earth Scholars, and various scouts, he merely gave a cold shout,

"A bunch of worthless curs, daring to pry into the All Appearances Dao’s treasures, don’t even think about leaving!

Seal off the news, not one leaves!"

At his command, the Sun-Holding Army’s Taoist Soldiers stepped forward simultaneously, raising their shining Crossbow Mechanisms.

"Kill!"

The All Appearances Dao’s Wanxiang Ancestor, activated by the Taoist Inheritance Artifact, commanded three armies: Sun-Holding, Moon Chasing, and Chasing Star,

each led by a Martial Saint.

If the three armies combined, they could launch the extremely powerful Ten Thousand Enemies Skill: Sun, Moon, and Starlight Formation.

Superficially referred to as Sun, Moon, and Stars,

the people of Yong State privately called it: Kill All, Rob All, Burn All.

This speaks volume about the poor discipline within the All Appearances Dao’s army.

The root lies in the characteristics of the "All Appearances Dao" Daoist Skill, where human resources could quickly be converted into combat power, and people were merely materials for practicing Magic.

The encompassing Root Dharma Sect, "Seventy-Two Wonders of Xiangshan" claims:

"Able to ascend clouds above, contract earth below. At the flick of a finger, mountains open and walls split; with a breath, rocks move and sand flies."

"Concealing one’s form and changing faces, making others utterly confused; summoning ghosts and calling spirits, using the void at will. Magic beans and straw horses add awe on all sides in battle formations."

"Paper tigers and entwined snakes, bring forth a miracle during adversity. Wind, cloud, thunder, and rain ready to deploy, immune to water, fire, blades, and spears!"

Those disciples who practiced this Magic, initially elated, sooner or later, most of them became various Magic Artifacts and Deceit Objects embedded in the army.

This Fire Gourd, which the Fire Gourd King relied on for his fame, was cruelly crafted from a thousand disciples who practiced the "Sitting Fire Sun-Holding Skill."

Just as the Sun-Holding Army was about to finish off these scouts from various factions,

a Spell suddenly resounded behind them.

"Central Earth Star, controlling all directions. Yellow center managing Qi, serving the imperial chamber... descend from the heavens, capturing disaster! Imperial decree!"

No sooner had the Fire Gourd King turned around,

Than behind him, not far away, Mount Li suddenly crumbled, rock and mud cascading down like a flood, unstoppable, intent on burying everyone beneath the earth.

"It’s the Mountain Coffin Evil Technique, get out of the way!"

The Sun-Holding Army’s soldiers immediately panicked, dodging hastily.

But because their formation was disrupted, they missed the chance to eliminate all newcomers and prevent the news from leaking.

While others retreated,

the daring Fire Gourd King, carrying a sky of fierce flames, stepped onto the summit.

He immediately spotted a gray-robed Taoist standing on an adjacent smaller mountaintop.

His pupils dilated, he gritted his teeth and said,

"It really is you, Yin Juezhi of the Iron Coffin Dao!

The All Appearances Dao has not invaded Liangzhou, yet you have the audacity to meddle in our matters?

You, the Taoist Master of Iron Coffin Dao, personally get involved in the All Living Beings Tribulation. Aren’t you afraid of getting wrapped up in the tribulation energy and allowing me to smash your Coffin Temple?!"

If Wang Yuan were here, he would certainly recognize the technique just demonstrated.

When he first set foot on the path of Cultivation, he had encountered the Mountain Coffin Evil Technique from an Earth Scholar in Southwest Liangzhou.

[One must consider the "Nayin Five Elements Table" with the Four Pillars of Destiny; only those of earth destiny can practice this technique.

Roadside Soil, City Head Soil, Roof Soil, Wall Soil, Great Post Soil, Sand Soil, among these six soil destinies, "City Head Soil" fits the best; others are also possible.

If those not of earth destiny practice it, within a year they will definitely experience skin cracks, transforming into sand and crumbling to death.]

[Every year on the day of Jingzhe, one must plug one’s ears with earth bee wax and lie in a century-old coffin for a full day, totaling twelve Two Hours.

During this time, do not speak, eat, move, or sleep.]

[The interval between Casting must not be less than two quarter-hours.

Immediately after each Casting, one must consume two ounces of ’Ant Mud’ (main component of ant nests), made of mixed soil, white ant excrement, and saliva to avoid Mutation.]

The Precept Taboos of this Daoist Skill are glaringly flawed and simply second-rate.

If someone catches the opportunity, it’s a sure kill.

In fact, this minor Daoist Skill originates from the "Mountain Coffin Corpse Technique" of Iron Coffin Dao, listed in the "Qing Lu Zi Zhang" of the Earth Department Taoism.
