Alchemy Master

Chapter 1035, Ten Thousand Coffin Array

Translator: Silavin

*Whoosh!*

Just as Qin Yichen departed from his previous position, a brilliant beam of light suddenly shot forth from the eye upon one of the coffins. In an instant, it pierced through the ground, creating a bottomless hole.

Witnessing this scene, Qin Yichen broke out in cold sweat. Fortunately, he moved quickly. Otherwise, even with his formidable Physique, he would likely have been completely pierced through.

“Hey, Little Grey, hurry up and use whatever abilities you’ve got!”

Observing the powerful fluctuations gathering within the giant eyes on numerous coffins, Qin Yichen’s scalp tingled with dread. He immediately called out to the small beast.

*Yiya!* The small beast seemed to nod at Qin Yichen with partial understanding. Then, under Qin Yichen’s somewhat astonished gaze, its form shot forward like a stream of light, rapidly fleeing towards the distance.

Originally, he had assumed this small beast possessed some special ability that would ensure survival here, which was why he had confidence entering this place.

Who would have known that at this critical moment, without a word, it would flee first?

“Huh?” Seeing the small beast’s actions, Qin Yichen’s mouth twitched. Cursing inwardly, he immediately ran for his life as well.

As the first coffin stirred, it seemed to trigger some kind of restriction. Wherever the man and beast passed, giant eyes manifested upon the coffins.

Brilliant beams of light, each capable of easily penetrating Qin Yichen’s body, continuously shot forth.

*Yiya! Yiya!* The small beast running ahead occasionally called back to Qin Yichen, as if it had determined a specific direction and was rapidly charging towards it.

“Little Grey, slow down, wait for me…”

Qin Yichen was already fleeing with all his might. Along the way, countless spectres were inexplicably obliterated by the beams of light he had attracted.

Several times, even Qin Yichen himself nearly got struck by those beams.

If this continued, he probably would not last much longer. After all, those beams were too fast. The moment his condition deteriorated even slightly, slowing down by half a beat, he would be unable to evade them!

During this frantic escape, Qin Yichen’s expression gradually grew more solemn.

He discovered that the deeper they ventured, the more violently the coffins reacted, as if refusing their entry and desperately obstructing them.

*Whoosh!*

The destructive beams continuously shot forth. Finally, unable to dodge in time, Qin Yichen’s left arm was grazed by one of the beams.

Under this beam of light, his proud Physique offered not even the slightest resistance. Like paper, it was easily torn open.

“*Siii!*… It’s all or nothing!” Qin Yichen gasped sharply from the pain. No longer hesitating, with a thought, a pair of leg guards wreathed in black energy materialized around his feet.

In the next instant, his form had already appeared ten metres away.

Originally, he had feared that activating the Myriad Dao Divine Armour would trigger the Restrictions here. But at this life-and-death moment, Qin Yichen finally dared not hesitate any longer.

If activating the Myriad Dao Divine Armour triggered even more terrifying Restrictions, he would certainly die. However, his current situation was not much better. Better to take a desperate gamble. Perhaps there might still be a thread of survival!

The Myriad Dao Divine Armour’s leg guards truly lived up to their reputation as heaven-defying artifacts. Though Qin Yichen still could not achieve traversal a thousand kilometres with a single thought like Master Lu Ban, compared to his previous desperate flight, his speed had undoubtedly increased several-fold.

“Which direction?” In mere moments, Qin Yichen had caught up with the small beast. Grabbing it, he loudly demanded an answer.

By this time, violent tremors shook the coffins wherever they passed. Qin Yichen didn’t even know whether the powerful beings buried within might bizarrely manifest their might. Retreat was no longer an option. Now, only a desperate advance remained!

The small beast looked at Qin Yichen with some confusion, as if curious how he had caught up so quickly. [Wasn’t he just calling for me to wait?]

How could its prideful self be willing to lose its life in this place?!

*Yiya!* The small beast grinned, its little claw pointing in a certain direction. Then, feeling its vision blur, it had already appeared several dozen metres away.

“Faster…” Qin Yichen thought silently to himself. His form moved like a phantom, continuously flashing towards the depths of the darkness.

His intrusion caused countless coffins to shake violently, as if the things inside wanted to leap out and stop Qin Yichen. That momentum was hair-raising. Countless spectres trembled and prostrated themselves, not daring the slightest movement.

This traversal continued for an unknown duration. Qin Yichen’s Spiritual Energy began to deplete. He no longer dared randomly use teleportation methods, relying only on his legs to continue fleeing. Only when unable to avoid those destructive beams did he grit his teeth and use it once.

*Yiya!* At this moment, the small beast in Qin Yichen’s embrace grew increasingly excited, as if it could barely restrain itself from leaping out and flying towards a certain location.

Finally, at a certain moment, the surrounding coffin clusters began to thin. A hint of light appeared before Qin Yichen’s eyes.

“Light… There’s an exit!”

Seeing that hint of light, a gleam of renewed life burst forth in Qin Yichen’s eyes.

He rapidly ran towards the light…

“This… What is this…”

However, he soon halted his steps.

Because at that source of light, a massive coffin floated suspended in the air!

The light emanated from this enormous coffin.

For some unknown reason, Qin Yichen even felt that the light radiating from this coffin was actually colder than that black energy, making his body involuntarily shudder.

He dared not act rashly.

Looking at the small beast, he discovered its gaze had also settled upon that coffin. It paced back and forth, seemingly wanting to approach that coffin, yet also appearing to fear something.

Qin Yichen’s eyes trembled slightly.

Even the small beast was this cautious and fearful. Clearly, this coffin was absolutely extraordinary.

Surveying his surroundings, he suddenly realized that those tens of thousands of coffins were arranged in a certain pattern, centred around this massive coffin.

It was an Array!

[A Ten Thousand Coffin Array!?]

And the location where Qin Yichen currently stood was the Array Core of this Ten Thousand Coffin Array!

*Dong!* Suddenly, a sound rang out, as if carrying a certain rhythm. Qin Yichen’s heart violently trembled along with this sound.

As he attempted to locate the sound’s source, two more beats sounded…

*Dong dong…*

*Dong!*

*Dong dong…*

Like the sound of a heartbeat, it transmitted with a regular rhythm.

“Not good!”

Qin Yichen’s expression changed drastically as he hastily retreated. He discovered his own heartbeat had been disrupted, forced to beat in synchrony with this sound. That sensation felt as if his heart was about to explode.
