Chapter 598: Chapter 461: The power to rule the world (6th Update)

Ada hummed in agreement, saying, "Very likely indeed. If this is the case... I have no idea what those guys are planning, but since we’ve bumped into this, let’s go and take a look. Given that this iron fragment was a reward from the trial, it should bring some benefit."

Soon enough, the group made up their minds. Under Ada’s guidance, they ventured back into the ruins of the shrine under the cover of darkness. Ada held the ancient parchment in her claws, observing it and giggling, "It’s quite coincidental. The City Lord of the Great Landlord City, Anhuan, somehow acquired this blueprint but lamented over the lack of a key. Finally, when he got the key, it was only to pave our way. He probably died without knowing how it happened."

Su Yu thought of how Anhuan was instantly blasted into a pulp. Indeed, he probably died without understanding what had transpired. The Demon God dormant within the little girl Feng’er was truly horrifying.

Soon, under Ada’s guidance, Su Yu and Lei Leian returned to the mostly collapsed Merit Monument. Ada instructed Su Yu to dig behind the monument. His black-scaled claws emerged, quickly digging a deep hole.

With continuous digging, Su Yu and Lei Leian noticed the monument’s buried portion was extremely large. A peculiar-shaped notch was embedded on its surface. Upon seeing this notch, Su Yu immediately realized that its shape closely resembled the iron fragments he possessed.

Ada picked up the two iron fragments, processing her thoughts. She attempted to fit one into the slot, but it didn’t match, so she hurriedly tried the other one.

This time it fit perfectly. The fragment sank into the hole flawlessly.

As the iron fragment melded into the hole, they could clearly see the glowing runes etched into the fragment. This glowing light spread quickly. Before long, the entire ruin began to tremble.

Le Leian couldn’t help but tighten her grip on Su Yu, excitement flashing across her face. Born curious and fearless, the unfolding spectacle before her eyes ignited her thrill rather than fear.

The ruins of the shrine, already mostly collapsed, continued to shake. As they watched, the earth parted, revealing a gigantic chasm at the center. Within the chasm was a flight of stairs leading downward.

The quake subsided within seconds. Su Yu and Lei Leian exchanged glances, quickly rising to their feet and heading toward the gaping chasm. Peering in, they could only see darkness, with faint hints of stair steps leading down into the abyss.

Su Yu activated the ’Radar Wave’ to explore inward. He didn’t sense any living beings. Lei Leian pulled out a small spherical gadget from her storage bracelet, which emitted bright light when activated. The device revealed a staircase ascending down into the depth, which was too deep for the light to illuminate fully.

"Let’s go. Let’s see what’s down there." Ada hopped onto Su Yu’s shoulder and signaled him to descend.

"Okay." Perceiving no danger through the ’Radar Wave,’ Su Yu accepted the Light Sphere from Lei Leian and took the lead, descending the stairs.

Following behind, an excited Lei Leian remarked, "Who would have thought that under just another ruined shrine, there would be a hidden mystery? If those folks from the Great Landlord City hadn’t shown up, we really would have missed it."

Ada smiled, "Even if we didn’t have the key fragment, I suspect that we wouldn’t be able to open this fissure. Did you notice the composition of this staircase? If I’m not mistaken, it is made of the strongest quartz material in this world, indestructible by brute force."

Amazed, Lei Leian marveled, "A staircase made of quartz? What kind of power would that require?"

Matter-of-factly, Ada responded, "The Power of Rules."

Lei Leian paused in surprise.

After descending the steep flight of stairs by about thirty meters, Su Yu finally reached the bottom, which was completely covered in smooth metallic walls. The cavity was enclosed in walls for about twenty meters, its space not too large. In the heart of this dark room, there was a stone coffin.

"The Imperial Coffin..." Ada murmured, examining the parchment. Su Yu, holding the illuminating Light Sphere, proceeded directly towards the coffin.

The stone coffin was about two meters long and sixty to seventy centimeters high and wide, resembling an ordinary coffin in size. However, it was made from the strongest quartz material in the world, covered in intricate enchantments. Aside from that, it appeared fairly ordinary. Could this really be the legendary ’Imperial Coffin’? Was it true that the one who opened the ’Imperial Coffin’ would possess the power to rule the world?

Holding onto the blueprint, Ada pondered. She had sensed the coffin for a while, but it felt as if it was empty as if nothing existed inside. Could it be that the blueprint was just a vicious prank?

"Su Yu, Open it and let’s see what’s inside." Frowning, Ada instructed. Ever since they entered the Demonic Forest, her potent perception had been severely distorted. Although she didn’t sense anything special about the coffin, she suggested that Su Yu open it. After all, she did not have much faith in her perceptions anymore.
