# Chapter 682: Bronze Coffin Versus Void Mirror
"Could it be that the old ancestor is failing?" Ji Ziyue muttered, her expression also changing, as she had not yet sensed that killing intent.
There was an old ancestor of the Ji Family who had only one last breath left and was about to pass away. Unless there was a major event or he summoned them, this bell would never be rung.
The important elder figures of the Ji Family had all left, leaving only some old cultivators of not very great cultivation to keep the guests company.
When everything calmed down, a tremor came from outside the hall. A middle-aged man walked in, holding a white bone banner, wearing hemp clothes, a white band tied around his head, dressed entirely in mourning clothes. He arrived at the entrance of the hall.
"Sacred Body, come out and present your head!" The killing intent was like a blade, bone-piercingly cold. Behind him was a large crowd, men and women, old and young, a dense mass of people, all radiating murderous intent.
From their attire, they were all members of the Ji Family, and moreover, they were all from the direct line, their status extraordinary.
Ji Ziyue's expression changed. She suddenly understood and said, "Little Leaf, leave quickly."
Then, she moved forward gracefully, her expression sacred, like a moon goddess, flowing with hazy radiance, blocking the entrance of the hall, and said, "What are you doing?"
"Ziyue, step aside. I want to slay this villain and avenge your grand-aunt!" The middle-aged man's expression was sinister.
The leader was Ji Hui's eldest son, and the others were all her blood relatives. This was clearly premeditated. As soon as the Ji Family Saint Lord and others had left, someone came to kill Ye Fan.
The more powerful and ancient the aristocratic clan, the more intense the power struggles. The Ji Family was no exception, divided into several factions, intertwined and very complicated. Back then, even Ji Ziyue herself had almost been killed by certain people in the family, and the mastermind was her cousin Ji Biyue.
"This is not the Patriarch's decision. What you are doing violates the family rules." Ji Ziyue blocked them.
"Ziyue, you are wrong. This is the will of the entire clan. Step back quickly. Today, the Sacred Body must die!" The middle-aged man's expression was terrifying.
"Swish"
A wisp of sacred light appeared in the sky. It was the Ancient Void Mirror rising and falling. Someone was activating a wisp of Extreme Imperial Might. They were determined to eliminate Ye Fan.
In the hall, it was deathly silent. This was all too sudden. Was it really the decision of the entire clan?
For a powerful Primordial Aristocratic Clan, if they took out their Extreme Imperial Weapon and the entire clan wanted to kill someone, unless that person transcended the world and became a Sage, even escape would be impossible!
"This... the Ji Family has chosen to strangle the Sacred Body!"
"It's really too sudden!"
The crowd was in an uproar. Such an event had happened, catching everyone off guard.
"I don't believe it. You are acting on your own. Aren't you afraid the Patriarch will punish you?" Ji Ziyue's voice was crisp, like pearls falling on a jade plate.
"This is the will of the clan. Ziyue, get out of the way. Don't bring ruin upon yourself!" The middle-aged man's expression was cold and gloomy.
The hall was in chaos. People were retreating. If the Extreme Imperial Might descended, no one could withstand it.
By now, everyone knew that there was definitely a powerful faction within the Ji Family that wanted to eliminate Ye Fan. They had even managed to send away the Saint Lord and others, showing their strength!
"The so-called Sacred Body is nothing before it has reached Great Accomplishment. Killing it is just killing it!" A powerful elder of the Ji Family spoke, his voice cold and gloomy, coming from high above.
Then, the Ji Family Eighth Ancestor was the first to descend, with an endless cold smile, hands behind his back, standing on the high platform looking down at Ye Fan, and said, "Killing my descendant, running wild in my Ji Clan, what do you take this place for? Even if you haven't reached Great Accomplishment, even if you had, entering the Ji Family would make it hard for you to leave. Under the Void Mirror, no soul lives!"
Ye Fan sighed and placed the bronze coffin in front of him. There was nothing to say now; he could only block the power of the Imperial Weapon.
"I won't allow you to do this!" Ji Ziyue stepped back, standing in front of Ye Fan, spreading her arms, looking up at the sacred light in the void, where an ancient mirror was faintly visible.
"Old Eighth of the Ji Family, what you are doing is too unscrupulous!" Red Dragon Daoist spoke, his expression heavy.
"Boom"
The monkey's black gold great staff struck the ground, causing the entire ancient hall to tremble. He said, "Does your Ji Family really think you are number one under heaven?"
The Fifth Great Bandit Wu Dao sighed and said, "You must know, your Ji Family is not the only one in the world with an Extreme Imperial Weapon. Plant a cause today, and there will be an effect another day."
"My Ji Family killing the Sacred Body has nothing to do with you all, right?" The Ji Family Eighth Ancestor sneered.
"Do you really want to kill me that badly?" Ye Fan was very calm, not afraid even in the face of the famous Void Mirror that had moved through the ages. He faced them with equanimity.
"Yes, I really want to kill you. Killing you would settle everything once and for all. There would be no future suspense, no need for any apprehension. My Ji Clan does not need a powerful Sacred Body to emerge." The Ji Family Eighth Ancestor's voice was condensed into a line, not wanting too many people to hear.
"Are you sure you can kill me?" Ye Fan spoke calmly.
"Ridiculous. Even if an ancient Sage came, it would be useless. Killing you is no different from stepping on an ant!" The Ji Family Eighth Ancestor was full of confidence.
"Eighth Ancestor, you are going further and further down this path. Not to mention the Patriarch, even the other elders will suppress you afterwards." Ji Ziyue said.
"Child, you are still young. The strength of our clan does not rely on outsiders. Even if the Sacred Body truly achieves Great Accomplishment, so what? We are descendants of a Great Emperor. Do we need his protection? Killing him is the simplest way." The Ji Family Eighth Ancestor said, also transmitting his voice secretly this time.
"Eighth Ancestor, you are acting out of selfishness, wanting to avenge Grand-aunt Ji Hui. This violates the great taboo. The other elders will not agree." Ji Ziyue wanted to buy time.
"Ziyue, you are wrong." Just then, two figures appeared. Two elders of the Ji Family walked out and stood behind the Ji Family Eighth Ancestor.
"You..." Ji Ziyue's face changed color. Then she stood in front of Ye Fan, her words extremely resolute, and said, "If you want to kill him, then destroy me under the Void Mirror as well."
Red Dragon Daoist quickly carved array patterns. Light flashed, and he wanted to teleport Ye Fan away. However, this ancient hall was very peculiar, sealing all Dao patterns.
"Boom"
The monkey was furious. His fiery golden eyes shot out two beams of golden light, piercing through the void. At the same time, his great staff swept horizontally, wanting to use the Battle Saint Ape clan's methods to open a spatial passage.
However, the hall made of refined gold shook violently, and the path could not be opened.
Pang Bo shouted, "Do you want to be enemies with my Demon Clan?"
"Hum"
The ancient hall trembled. A patch of sacred light scattered down. Even as strong as Red Dragon Daoist and the monkey, they could not move. They were all swept away and sent out of the battlefield.
At the same time, Ji Ziyue also disappeared into thin air, swept away by the light emitted by the ancient mirror to who knows where.
In the center of the field, only Ye Fan remained. No one could get close. The ancient hall rumbled and soon turned into a martial arts arena, located in a strange space.
Everyone else could see but could not approach. They watched from afar, marveling at the Ji Family's understanding of spatial arts, which was unparalleled in the world.
"Youngster surnamed Ye, tell me, should I shine you to pieces under the ancient mirror, or let you be riddled with holes and die slowly?" The Ji Family Eighth Ancestor stood high above, looking down with an air of composure.
"I said you cannot kill me, and you will bring about your own destruction!" Ye Fan's voice was firm and forceful.
"Is that so?" The Ji Family Eighth Ancestor shouted coldly. An ancient mirror rose and fell in the void. A wisp of Extreme Imperial Might scattered down, a hazy patch of light, sacred and noble, but also with pressure like the universe collapsing.
"Boom"
Everyone was terrified. Even those outside that special space felt the threat of death. The Imperial Weapon was invincible, impossible to resist.
A patch of hazy light pressed down. Even though it was still infinitely far away, Ye Fan was almost suffocating, his body about to crack. He quickly placed the ancient coffin above his head.
"Hum"
The void trembled. The sacred light pressed down. The bronze coffin rippled. The patterns on it fluctuated continuously, surging upward to resist the overwhelming might.
Something jaw-dropping happened. A wisp of Imperial Might flowed into the bronze coffin like water, but did not pierce through it.
"Heavens, what happened? It... blocked the Imperial Weapon!"
"This is against the heavens! Unbelievable! Although it was only a wisp of Extreme Imperial Might, it was still beyond human power to resist. How did it withstand it?!"
"An Imperial Weapon! The weapon of Emperor Void! It was actually blocked by that bronze coffin!"
The outside was in an uproar. Almost no one could believe it. A rusty bronze coffin had absorbed a wisp of Imperial Might without being damaged itself.
"What is this?" The Ji Family Eighth Ancestor found it hard to believe. He thought killing Ye Fan here would be effortless. Using the Void Mirror, he could crush him with a backhand.
"This bronze coffin is too strange!" Another elder said in a deep voice.
"I don't believe it can really block the Void Mirror." The Ji Family Eighth Ancestor shouted, and then he exerted force to activate it. This time, it was not just a wisp of Imperial Might, but a beam falling down. Even an ancient Sage would be instantly pierced if hit.
This was a vast oppressive force, like billions of stars in the universe converging together, transforming into a destructive beam of light, indestructible, directly piercing through heaven and earth.
This fluctuation caused the clouds in all directions to instantly scatter, the void to twist completely, piercing through who knows how many dimensional spaces and penetrating many small worlds.
Ye Fan hid under the bronze coffin, using it to resist the heavens. The beam of light pressed down, hitting the bronze coffin, but still did not pierce through. The small coffin, like a whale drinking or a cow drinking, quickly absorbed it.
At this moment, it was deathly silent. Everyone held their breath. It was not until the divine light in the sky disappeared, all absorbed into the bronze coffin, that the crowd erupted.
"Extreme Dao!"
"This is an Extreme Dao Weapon!"
"Heavens, it's unbelievable! Another Imperial Weapon has appeared in the world, unheard of! It withstood the light of the Void Mirror!"
...
This was all too crazy, suffocating. The bronze coffin that Ye Fan had carried on his back turned out to be so terrifying. Not long ago, some people had dismissed it, and the Ji Family Eighth Ancestor had even mocked it, never expecting it could block Imperial Might.
"Brother, do you know what that is?" Qi Huoshui asked. She had heard that the Southern Demon had seen the vision of Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin at the Demon Emperor Hall.
The Southern Demon's expression was grave. "It is something from beyond the domain. The formidable thing is not the bronze coffin, but what is buried inside!"
"Is it a corpse, or something else?"
"I don't know."
As for the others, they were even more shocked beyond measure. This was all too unexpected, impacting the imagination.
Many people felt they were in a dream. A bronze coffin could resist an Imperial Weapon, like something out of a fantasy novel. Remember, this was something Ye Fan had carried in like a sack on his back. No one had paid it any attention or importance just now.
"You little wretch, no matter what you have brought, death is inevitable. There is no weapon in this world higher than an Imperial Weapon." The Ji Family Eighth Ancestor said coldly and gloomily. "Revive the Imperial Weapon! Let him be utterly destroyed, never to be reborn! Refine this bronze coffin into my Ji Family's ancient mirror!"
What had just happened was the natural aura emitted by the Void Mirror. Now, they wanted to awaken the deity within the ancient mirror, unleashing the power of an ancient Great Emperor.
"Boom"
That ancient mirror appeared from the void, becoming somewhat more real, beginning the process of revival, emitting an aura of opening up heaven and earth, like an ancient universe evolving.
The Void Mirror must not be allowed to revive! Ye Fan thought to himself. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to a strike from an ancient Great Emperor, which was unimaginable.
"Clang"
He exerted all his strength, activating the Weapon Art, and using his supreme brute force to push, wanting to forcefully open the ancient coffin.
"Rustle rustle"
He wrapped himself in the Immortal Treasure Diagram scroll he had obtained from the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, then summoned the Primordial Qi Cauldron and took himself inside.
It was extremely difficult. Ye Fan was drenched in sweat, his body about to split apart. He opened the lid of the bronze coffin a crack, emitting a section of Great Dao Divine Sound!
What was in the bronze coffin? This was what everyone wanted to know. Could it truly oppose the reviving Imperial Weapon? People were almost suffocating, wishing they could immediately see everything inside the coffin!
