Chapter 445: Returning in Defeat

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Haha…” Su Chen laughed upon hearing this, ignoring the white jade divine elephant’s final words. With a smile, he said, “In that case, we shall wait and see!”

As Su Chen finished speaking, he gently waved his palm. The floating quasi-emperor’s coffin nearby was instantly pulled over, wrapped in chaotic Qi with a suppressive might that spanned the ancient heavens.

At that moment, all present had the illusion that the coffin’s occupant had not perished but merely fallen into a deep slumber.

Strands of Quasi-Emperor Realm pressure seeped from the bronze coffin like flowing water, enshrouding the void. Even the white jade divine elephant beneath Su Chen’s feet felt tremendous pressure, its mind quivering.

“This is… May I ask, what is this…” The White Jade Divine Elephant’s heart shook as it swallowed its saliva and asked curiously. It had noticed this peculiar bronze coffin long ago since just a wisp of its aura was sufficient to make it feel fear.

Without a doubt, such an item was a treasure! By its reckoning, for the coffin to inspire its own dread, it had to be at least a saint king’s relic…

Only saint king or quasi-emperor’s relics could accomplish this. If it obtained the coffin, breaking through to the long-yearned Great Saint Realm would surely pose no issue.

“It’s nothing special, just a quasi-emperor’s coffin.” Su Chen looked at the coffin casually as he responded.

“What?” The White Jade Divine Elephant cried out at this in disbelief, its massive pupils filled with incredulity. “A quasi… quasi-emperor’s coffin?

Then…the opportunity left by that Quasi-Emperor Realm expert was actually…obtained by you…”

The White Jade Divine Elephant swallowed, face shaking as it murmured in shock. It knew a little about the inheritance a quasi-emperor had left in the Chaotic Sea Star Region.

Yet by its own ability, succeeding there was a sheer impossibility. Recklessly striving for it would only lead to total loss. Never did it imagine sighting that ancient coffin here in a human’s possession.

This was truly unbelievable. Did it not signify that the myriad races’ great saints who went seeking the quasi-emperor’s opportunity had returned defeated?

At this thought, solemnity rose within. This human on its back was clearly not to be slighted! One must understand – several races had sent their great saints, yet this man could wrest the coffin from their grasp… His strength was surely outstanding.

Considering this, notions of escape were promptly extinguished.

“Haha… It appears your intelligence remains lacking!” Su Chen chuckled and passed the coffin to Mu Qingxue. “Junior Sister, this shall belong fully to you henceforth!”

“Hmm? Giving…this to me?”

Mu Qingxue was initially stunned, then greatly shocked. She had been very happy when her Master first mentioned the quasi-emperor’s opportunity in the Chaotic Sea Star Region, but upon arrival swiftly realized the opportunity was more trouble than it was worth.

By her capability, obtaining it would be hard enough without even considering keeping it safe – that posed tremendous uncertainty. In her opinion, only someone of Senior Brother Su Chen’s stature could wrest this coffin from the various experts.

Just as she considered asking his assistance in rescuing her Master, this sudden bequest left her dumbfounded – never did she expect Senior Brother to bestow her the quasi-emperor’s coffin!

One must understand this was a genuine quasi-emperor’s relic! Within likely lay cultivation methods and weapons of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. While inferior to Great Emperor Realm weapons, still extraordinarily precious – at present, even the entire Great Mystery Sacred Sect possessed no Quasi-Emperor Realm weapons, let alone Great Emperor Realm weapons!

“No…Senior brother, I cannot accept this! This coffin is far too valuable, I cannot take it.”

Having collected herself, Mu Qingxue swiftly declined. All along this journey, Senior Brother’s aid had been invaluable. This sudden windfall of a quasi-emperor’s coffin was a kindness she truly could not fathom how to repay. Even lifelong commitment could hardly match this boon!

“Haha… It is but a quasi-emperor’s leftover coffin, hardly of much use to me. Junior Sister, please take it. Besides, things I’ve given have never been reclaimed,” Su Chen said casually.

“I…” Mu Qingxue was rendered speechless. What senior brother said held truth, he never did ask for returns. But this time was different! This was a quasi-emperor’s coffin… She truly could not bring herself to accept it.

For a time, she found herself at an impasse.

Witnessing her struggle, envy burned in the White Jade Divine Elephant’s eyes. This was a genuine quasi-emperor’s legacy! Whether for the myriad races or humans, it was a massive treasure horde. Yet this girl was actually still hesitating over such opportunity? Utter foolishness!

If it were given the coffin, any delay would have been deep disrespect. What pity the destiny wasn’t its own! At this moment, the White Jade Divine Elephant really wished it were that girl.. Why didn’t it have such a nice senior brother?
