Wei Guangming stepped forward.
He silently glanced once more at the blood-dripping words carved on the head of the coffin.
Those not of my bloodline shall die upon touching it!
Should Great Xia fall, open this coffin and let the world be destroyed!
—Wei Tianjun.
Wei Guangming shouted:
“Unfilial descendant of the Wei family, Wei Guangming—”
“—opens the coffin for our ancestor!”
He circulated his vital energy and pushed hard against the coffin lid.
At once, the grating sound of metal rang throughout the underground chamber.
The instant the lid opened a sliver—
A wave of scorching heat swept out.
Wei Guangming jerked his hands back.
The skin on his palms had already been charred black.
From the narrow gap in the bronze coffin came a crimson glow.
The next moment—
Wei Guangming staggered back in horror.
His eyes were filled with shock.
The bronze coffin had turned completely red-hot.
Then, slowly, it began to melt.
Drop after drop of molten bronze dripped down.
To melt bronze required temperatures of at least a thousand degrees.
He simply could not understand it.
What exactly was inside the coffin?
Wasn’t it supposed to be their ancestor, Wei Tianjun?
As the bronze coffin gradually melted away,
the temperature in the underground chamber rose higher and higher.
Drenched in sweat, Wei Guangming could not help retreating toward the entrance.
When half the bronze coffin had melted away,
it revealed a long-haired young man with skin as smooth and pale as jade.
At that very moment,
the dark clouds over the skies of the Sacred Capital inexplicably dispersed.
A heat wave spread from the Sacred Capital in every direction.
The temperature across the entire world began rising sharply.
Those online watching Wang Zun undergo his heavenly tribulation also noticed the strange heat.
“His heavenly tribulation is incredible! Why do I suddenly feel so hot?”
“You can feel it too? I’m in Jiangcheng, and the temperature and humidity monitor at home says it’s almost forty degrees Celsius!”
“It’s only thirty-nine degrees here in Kunlun City. How are you people hotter than us?”
“Are you kidding? It was only thirty-eight degrees during the day. It’s the middle of the night—how can it be hotter than daytime?”
…
As the discussion spread,
people quickly realized that the temperature was continuing to rise for no apparent reason.
Though it was already the sweltering height of summer,
the midnight temperature had climbed higher than the daytime peak.
That was far too abnormal.
Especially in the cities surrounding the Sacred Capital.
Temperatures had already broken forty degrees Celsius.
Even in the Kunlun Mountains,
Su Yuanshan, who had been preparing to strike again and kill Yin Hu,
looked toward the Sacred Capital in astonishment.
For the first time in the mortal world, that wave of heat made him feel a hint of danger.
Yin Hu sensed it as well.
His eyes narrowed as he murmured,
“What a powerful aura.”
Sacred Capital.
In the underground chamber of the Wei family’s old residence.
Before Wei Guangming’s stunned gaze,
the bronze coffin completely melted into a pool of molten metal.
The young man within was fully revealed.
He wore crimson armor that covered his entire body.
At his side rested a scarlet longsword.
The young man suddenly opened his eyes.
They were blood-red.
His body rose upright in a single stiff motion.
He did not bend at the waist or curl his legs.
It was as though he were a rigid statue being pulled to its feet.
Wei Guangming hardly dared to breathe.
Then the young man slowly turned his head, stiffly,
and looked toward Wei Guangming in the distance.
As his neck moved,
a series of cracking bones echoed through the chamber.
“Has Great Xia fallen?”
A hoarse, questioning voice—neither distinctly male nor female—rang out.
Wei Guangming hurriedly shook his head.
“Not yet!”
“But the situation is far from optimistic.”
Hearing that Great Xia had not fallen, Wei Tianjun finally began to recover from his shock and carefully examined his own body.
“So this is the divine jiangshi body the Ancient Sovereign spoke of?”
He raised his somewhat stiff arm.
A series of cracking sounds immediately rang out again.
“Which generation of the Wei family are you?”
The question stumped Wei Guangming completely.
How was he supposed to know which generation he was?
He did not even know from which generation the count should begin.
All he could do was reply helplessly,
“I don’t know either.”
Wei Tianjun shook his head.
He had more or less figured out what had happened.
“Looks like a very long time has passed.”
“Even Great Xia smells different now—so foul and turbid!”
Once he had grown accustomed to this body, Wei Tianjun pressed on.
“What is Great Xia facing that it cannot resolve?”
Wei Guangming hurriedly gave him a brief account of Su Yuanshan’s situation.
Wei Tianjun immediately understood.
“So ten thousand years have already passed!”
He could not help recalling what Gu Banjin had said when he instructed him to swallow the Vermilion Bird’s precious blood and sleep within the bronze coffin.
“I trade the fate of humanity’s martial path for ten thousand years of prosperity for mankind.”
“After ten thousand years, the martial fate shall inevitably return, and Great Xia will face a great calamity!”
“When you awaken once more, you will possess the body of a divine jiangshi and should be invincible beneath the heavens.”
“On behalf of my brother and me, watch over the Great Xia of that age.”
Wei Tianjun walked step by step out of the underground chamber.
When he saw the old residence outside, a sense of familiarity welled up within him.
Yet apart from this old house, everything around it was utterly foreign.
With a single step, he appeared ten thousand meters above the ground.
As he gazed upon the myriad lights of the city and the flourishing vitality of its people, Wei Tianjun could not help but stand there in a daze.
“How prosperous!”
Back when he had assisted the Ancient Sovereign in suppressing humanity’s martial fate, Great Xia had fewer than eight million people.
The populations of other nations had been even more devastated.
On the northern continent, there had not even been a trace of human habitation left.
And now, before his eyes—
The human presence in just one city surpassed that of the entire world in those days.
Wei Tianjun suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Then he turned toward the Kunlun Mountains.
Seeing the Taiji heavenly tribulation there, he froze once again.
“Chaos divine lightning!”
“Who is it?”
“Who is facing the same tribulation as the Ancient Sovereign?”
At the same time, he sensed Su Yuanshan’s icy aura.
As well as Yin Hu’s half-demon presence.
“A Martial God revived from the stone coffin of the Ghost Mound.”
“And that Yin Hu has escaped from the forbidden land as well.”
Wei Tianjun gave the city below one more lingering look.
The Ancient Sovereign had said that while the body of a divine jiangshi was immensely powerful, once a divine jiangshi appeared, not a single drop of rain would ever fall again.
What he needed to do now was stop Su Yuanshan.
At the same time, he had to find a way to revive the twin Ancient Sovereigns.
He could not wait until next year.
The consequences of the entire world going without rain for a year were obvious even without imagining them.
If the divine jiangshi continued to exist, the whole world would become a barren wasteland.
Wei Tianjun wanted only to see what kind of enemy could have forced the Ancient Sovereign, ten thousand years ago, to turn him into a divine jiangshi in order to help Great Xia survive this crisis.
He stretched out his hand and shouted,
“Sword!”
In the underground chamber, the crimson sword that had remained by his side transformed into a streak of red light, burst through the earth, and shot toward the heavens.
Then, like a crimson meteor cutting through the night, it sped toward the Kunlun Mountains.
As the eastern red light drew nearer, Su Yuanshan felt a wave of scorching heat rush toward him.
Meanwhile, Yin Hu was still grumbling,
“If your human race has an expert like this, why didn’t he come out sooner?”
“What a waste of this lady’s dinner time.”
The moment she finished speaking,
the red light had already reached them.
As soon as Yin Hu got a clear look at the figure,
he immediately bristled.
“The War God of Daxia!”
“When did he come back to life?”
Chen Feng was completely bewildered.
From beginning to end, he had no idea what was going on.
He could only stare blankly at Wei Tianjun,
wondering when Daxia had gotten a War God.
Wei Tianjun first glanced at his old acquaintance, Yin Hu.
A murderous glint flashed briefly in his blood-red eyes.
Then he turned to Su Yuanshan.
“You’re Su Yuanshan, the man who wants to overthrow Daxia?”
