All nine empresses betrayed me, why am I crying after being reborn as a saint?

"Just in case there are still some poisonous insects in here, I will spray some Hundred Insect Powder into the gap first. When the insects are almost dead, I will open the coffin door."

The thin Taoist priest held the Hundred Insect Powder in his hand and sprayed some of it into the gap of the coffin.

After a moment, the fat monk couldn't wait any longer and said this.

"Oh, we've waited almost enough, let's open the coffin and see what treasures are inside."

The thin Taoist priest said, "Okay, then you go ahead."

"Hey, you are just being sarcastic, this coffin is so heavy, how can I open it by myself? The three of us must work together to open it."

The fat monk tugged at the Buddhist beads hanging around his neck and spoke anxiously.

"Okay, it's almost time. Let's three open the coffin quickly." Chen Yuan said hurriedly, calling the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest to come and help.

The three of them stood at each side of the coffin.

"Three, two, one, hard!"

Chen Yuan exerted force with his arms, gathered all his strength in his hands, and pushed hard towards one side of the sarcophagus.

At the same time, the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest were also strong men on the other side pushing the coffin hard.

With the joint efforts of the three people, the cover of the sarcophagus slowly moved, revealing the dark space inside.

The air was filled with an even more stale and decayed smell, but the three men did not stop.

As the sarcophagus was completely opened, an even stronger smell of decay filled the air.

As the coffin was pushed aside.

When they finally plucked up the courage to look inside the coffin.

The first thing that caught the eye was a male skeleton dressed in rotten silk, lying quietly on top of numerous jade stones, with jade in the mouth of the skeleton and very empty eye sockets.

The skeleton was still tightly grasping a rusty sword.

Scattered next to it is a bronze alchemy furnace. After years of baptism, the surface is covered with a layer of light green copper rust, and the furnace body is round and full.

There is a red gem inlaid in the center of the alchemy furnace, which is obviously an extraordinary object.

"Wow, this alchemy furnace is a treasure at first glance."

The fat monk said excitedly.

"Ancient books record that the Jiuye Alchemy Furnace is made of bronze, with a high roof and a dazzling gem inlaid in the center, red as a flame. I think this is the Jiuye Alchemy Furnace."

The thin Taoist priest was obviously well-informed and spoke quickly.

"Also, you can see there are many jade stones under the skull. They also look extremely priceless."

"In that case, let's take them all away."

Chen Yuan nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, Chen Yuan is right. We have gone through so much trouble to come here just to take all these treasures away. But how do we divide them?"

Right after the fat monk finished saying this, before the three of them could react, they suddenly felt the ground next to the coffin shaking.

The ground shook, and a huge figure slowly swam out from deep underground. It was the legendary giant sky-swallowing python.

It has a huge body, its scales gleam with a cold light, and its eyes flash with a bloodthirsty light, as if it can see into people's hearts.

"Hiss, I have been in seclusion for a long time. I didn't expect that someone would come and steal my old master's relics. Today, I will let all of you greedy humans die in my stomach!"

The sky-swallowing python spoke in human language.

Instead, it shocked Chen Yuan, the thin Taoist priest, and the fat monk who were standing nearby.

"Oh my god, this is definitely the legendary giant python. It can even speak. It looks like its strength is no less than that of a Nascent Soul."

The fat monk was so frightened when he saw this.

"I saw this giant python, it looks a bit like the Sky-Swallowing Python. I suspect the owner of this ancient tomb is Zhang Yizhan, a sword cultivator in the Tribulation Period five hundred years ago. I heard that Zhang Yizhan five hundred years ago held the Sword of Relief and fought against the Sky-Swallowing Python, beheading countless cultivators with his sword, but I didn't expect that he would die here.

The thin Taoist priest analyzed carefully.

When Chen Yuan heard what the thin Taoist said, he subconsciously looked at the skeleton in the coffin from a distance. As expected, when a person dies, it is like the extinguishing of a lamp. Even Zhang Yizhan, a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, was buried here after his death.

And he was already a Saint King in his previous life. If he had not been disturbed by the Nine Ladies during their tribulation period, he would not have self-exploded and died.

Fortunately, he has the opportunity to start over.

"You guys stand aside and hide. I will fight this so-called Sky Devouring Python and give it a try."

Faced with this powerful giant python, Chen Yuan did not retreat.

He drew out his sword, took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body surged, and a faint spiritual light suddenly appeared on the sword.

"Die, damned monk."

Seeing this, the giant sky-swallowing python roared angrily.

Chen Yuan stretched out his body, like a crane spreading its wings, and leaped lightly into the air.

He took the initiative and pointed his sword directly at the giant python's vital point.

The giant sky-devouring python also opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a smelly green mist, trying to cover Chen Yuan.

"Damn, will Chen Yuan be in danger? I think the attack of this Sky-Swallowing Python is very powerful."

The fat monk was a little worried and wanted to go up and help Chen Yuan.

"Don't be afraid. I think Chen Yuan should be able to deal with it. Since Chen Yuan just told us not to help, let's not go up yet. Let's pick up these treasures and put them in the storage bracelet."

The thin Taoist priest opened the storage bracelet and put the rusty sword and the Jiuye alchemy furnace into the storage bracelet.

Then, he and the fat monk picked up a lot of priceless jade stones under the skeleton.

Chen Yuan was prepared when he saw the green mist spewed out by the Sky-Devouring Python. He turned around and cleverly avoided the invasion of the green mist.

"break--"

At the same time, the long sword was swung out, and the sword light cut through the air like a silk thread, heading straight for the head of the giant sky-swallowing python.

"Ah, damn monk, get out of my way."

The Sky-Devouring Python felt pain and twisted and tumbled its huge body in the air, trying to throw Chen Yuan off.

But Chen Yuan was agile and followed the giant python like a shadow, always keeping close to it, looking for flaws in his attack.

He used the sword techniques he had learned, condensing his spiritual power on the tip of the sword, and every time he swung the sword was accompanied by a deafening roar.

Wherever the sword light passes.

The scales of the Sky-Devouring Python fell off one after another, and blood splattered everywhere.

The battle gradually became more intense, and every clash between Chen Yuan and the Sky-Devouring Python caused the ground beneath the ancient tomb to tremble.

"I don't care if you are a giant python that swallows the sky. Today, you have me here, so don't even think about causing trouble."

Chen Yuan knew very well that in order to completely defeat this giant python, he must find its fatal weakness.

So he concentrated his attention, observing the Sky-Devouring Python's every move, looking for that fleeting opportunity.

Finally, during a fierce confrontation, Chen Yuan discovered that there was a slightly concave area on the belly of the Sky-Devouring Python, which was where its heart was located.

Chen Yuan was delighted and immediately adjusted his attack, gathering all his spiritual power into one sword and stabbing it fiercely into the belly of the Sky-Devouring Python.
