The old man listened and then killing aura surged from his palm: "In that case, there's no use in keeping you alive anymore, die."

"Wait a minute!"

The Black Feathered Chicken quickly shouted: "This Purple Gold Box requires a spell to open. If you kill me, no one in the world will know this spell."

The old man's face turned cold: "What spell?"

The Black Feathered Chicken shook its head and said: "I'm really sorry, if I tell you, you will probably kill us right away. I can only stay silent to keep my bargaining chip alive. After all, I'm the only one who has seen the Ancient Scroll, and now that the Ancient Scroll has been destroyed, no one else knows the spell to open the Purple Gold Box."

"Even if you don't say it, I'll still kill you." the old man shouted.

The Black Feathered Chicken shook its head and said: "Senior is indeed strong, but without the spell, it would be very difficult to open the Dragon Emperor's Purple Gold Box. Killing me won't benefit you at all."

The old man snorted coldly and said: "Fine, I promise not to kill you, tell me what the spell is."

"That's not possible."

The Black Feathered Chicken pointed to the entrance and said: "How about this, when you find the Purple Gold Box, let's go out, and then you seniors promise in front of the world not to kill us, and I'll tell you the spell to open the Purple Gold Box."

The old man angrily said: "You dare to bargain with me?"

"Dare not, dare not, the little chicken just wants to survive."

The Black Feathered Chicken smiled cheekily, but in its heart, it cursed, if I still had my cultivation from back then, I'd peck this old thief to death.

The old man was silent for a while, then looked at the blue-robed old man beside him and said: "Junior Brother, you take a few disciples to explore first."

"Okay!"

The blue-robed old man led three middle-aged disciples towards the entrance.

Looking at the blue light screen of the entrance, the blue-robed old man took a deep breath and led the three Earth Penetration High-level disciples inside.

Within two seconds—

"Ugh ah!"

A tragic scream was heard.

The blue-robed old man, covered in blood, along with the three middle-aged disciples, were thrown out of the light screen.

All four were barely alive, even the blue-robed old man with Heavenly Passage cultivation showed panic, his eyes filled with fear.

The two remaining old men quickly went forward: "Junior Brother, what happened?"

The blue-robed old man trembled as he raised his hand, pointed at the blue light screen, opened his mouth, and after a moment, uttered a word: "Dragon... Dragon... Dragon..."

He kept saying the word dragon, but never got to the point.

"Dragon what? Junior Brother, what are you trying to say?" the old man impatiently asked.

The blue-robed old man kept opening his mouth, and finally, with a "puff," a force from his dantian surged throughout his body, causing it to explode. His remains scattered on the ground, and his Nascent Soul shattered.

At the same time, the Nascent Souls of the three Earth Penetration High-level disciples also shattered, their bodies torn apart.

"Junior Brother!"

The two old men screamed hoarsely.

"This light screen cannot be entered at all, you dared deceive me, causing the death of my Junior Brother and three disciples!" The old man, full of killing aura, looked at the Black Feathered Chicken.

The Black Feathered Chicken quickly said: "This was purely an accident, calm down, calm down, Senior!"

"It seems that the so-called Ancient Scroll is all lies, die!" The old man's fists glowed, ready to strike at them.

"Damn, you big idiot, Grandpa Chicken will kill you sooner or later!"

The Black Feathered Chicken cursed loudly, having nowhere to hide, and with Chen Nan, they desperately rushed into the blue light screen.

Although it was very likely that they would end up like the four people earlier, facing certain death if they stayed, risking this nine-in-one chance of survival was better than standing there waiting to die, given that they could not withstand the strength of a Heavenly Passage Expert.

At the moment they entered the light screen, Chen Nan and the others were stunned.

The chamber was only a few square meters in size, with a stone platform in the center. On the stone platform were two items.

On the left, was a bloody heart, the blood light on it still vibrant, appearing full of life, and the heart was as large as a human head, clearly not human.

Could the heartbeat sound earlier have come from it?

This was the Divine Dragon's Heart!

Everyone thought as much, not understanding what killed the Corpse-controlling Sect members earlier.

Beside the huge heart was a golden orb the size of a fist, its surface glowing, looking exceedingly sacred and emanating an extremely powerful energy wave.

The Black Feathered Chicken exclaimed: "This is the Dragon Essence!"

This Dragon Essence was the source of the Divine Dragon's power, equivalent to a cultivator's Nascent Soul.

Seeing Chen Nan and the other three rushing toward the Dragon Essence, the Black Feathered Chicken shouted: "Don't touch it, that thing is deadly. The Corpse-controlling Sect members probably died because they touched the Dragon Essence."

"Dong..."

The Dragon Heart beat like thunder, shaking the entire chamber.

Whether it was Chen Nan and the other three or the Black Feathered Chicken, they all covered their ears instantly, falling to the ground, nearly fainting, the Divine Dragon's Heart was truly terrifying.

Moments later, everyone managed to get back up.

"My goodness, this is going to be the death of Grandpa Chicken!" The Black Feathered Chicken shook its head and stood up, its ears still buzzing.

Meanwhile, in the other chamber outside.

The two old men and the remaining seven middle-aged men all had grim faces, staring intently at the blue light screen.

They didn't understand what was happening inside because of what happened earlier, they didn't dare enter either, and not seeing any bodies flying out, they didn't know if Chen Nan had died inside.

At this moment, their minds were extremely conflicted.

"Let's wait, if they're not dead, they'll come out eventually." The old man said.

…

Meanwhile, inside the chamber.

Chen Nan and the rest had already discovered a stone coffin, quietly lying behind the central stone platform.

The three people and the chicken slowly approached the stone coffin, the Black Feathered Chicken said: "The Divine Dragon's body is enormous, such a small stone coffin can't possibly contain the dragon corpse."

"Then what could be inside?"

"If you're not afraid of dying, open it and find out." The Black Feathered Chicken said.

Chen Nan glanced at the entrance covered by the blue light screen and said: "Going out now is certain death, and if we wait too long, they'll likely try to come back in, either way it's death. Why not open the stone coffin and see, maybe there's some treasure inside."

Hua Xian'er and Zhao Han both nodded in agreement.

The Black Feathered Chicken flapped its wings: "Then let's do it quickly!"

The stone coffin lid was very heavy, and even with their combined strength of such level of cultivation, it took great effort to push it open.

At the moment the coffin lid opened, a golden light surged out of the stone coffin, forming a Divine Dragon Illusion in mid-air, about ten meters long, although it was just an illusion, it emitted a terror far stronger than that of a Heavenly Passage Expert.
