Su Nan rushed in the direction of the Demon Emperor’s Coffin at the fastest speed possible.

As for whether the four Demon Kings would chase after him, he was no longer concerned about it.

As long as he found Zhou Lingyin, what would the four Demon Kings amount to?

He quickly headed south while taking this opportunity to look at today’s tasks.

Just like yesterday’s tasks, everything that should be there, was there, without a single one missing.

Compared to daily tasks, he was more concerned with the mainline tasks.

[Main Quest: Demon Emperor’s Bloodline]

[Second phase: Open the Demon Emperor’s Coffin]

[Task Difficulty: Four-star]

[Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 30 Demon Points, and one random spirit object]

The task of opening the Demon Emperor’s coffin appeared before his eyes.

This was a task he received when he was at the Mortal Level, with a four-star difficulty.

At that time, this level of difficulty was already considered high, aside from the five-star difficulty that could only be encountered when dealing with demon beasts, which was the highest level.

However, looking at it now, the difficulty of this task was far from the actual difficulty.

At the very least, entering the Divine Ruins would definitely exceed a four-star difficulty, let alone opening the coffin. In his previous foresight, he didn’t even get close to the coffin before he died without knowing how.

“The task difficulty must be calculated based on the difficulty of opening the coffin when I completed the first phase of the task.”

“As for the later changes, such as the coffin being involved in a great battle, entering the Divine Ruins, and all other changes, they are not taken into account in the task difficulty.”

If the current difficulty of opening the coffin were taken into account, this task would be at least a four-star difficulty even at the Xuan-level.

The rewards for a Mortal Level mainline quest were quite meager for him now.

Fortunately, the reward was a spiritual object, which made the risk worthwhile for him.

Two hours later.

Su Nan arrived at his destination.

A thousand meters ahead of him was a huge, towering mound.

Just as his foresight had described, it was more of a great tomb than a mound!

“Could this really be a massive tomb?”

Su Nan was shocked, for if it were a mountain in front of him, it wouldn’t be a big deal and could even be considered small.

If it were a tomb, however, it would be enormous.

Even the colossal Demon Emperor’s sarcophagus would appear like a relatively large stone on the mountain.

“Foresight.” Su Nan decisively began his foresight.

In his previous foresight, he didn’t even know how he died, and he had to figure this out now. At the same time, he hadn’t found Zhou Lingyin last time, so he wanted to try searching for her again.

[You found the ancient Demon Emperor’s sarcophagus that was once in Sky Wolf Valley and prepared to try opening it.]

[You controlled your avatar towards the small hill where the sarcophagus was located. One minute later, you arrived at the foot of the small hill, and upon closely examining the hill, you noticed that the mud on the hill was reddish- brown, as if it had been irrigated by fresh blood.]

[You didn’t immediately climb up the hill but instead circled around the foot of the hill, examining all sides of the hill.]

[Three minutes later, you had observed all sides of the hill without finding any abnormalities, and only then did you prepare to climb the hill.]

The end of the first prediction, beginning of the second one.

[Cautiously stepping onto the small hill, your strength was instantly suppressed, and you realized that it was the power of the hill beneath your feet.]

[One minute later, you reached halfway up the hill, with only a tenth of your strength remaining.]

[Two minutes later, you reached the summit and didn’t immediately head towards the nearby sarcophagus. Instead, you took this opportunity to gaze into the distance, hoping to find traces of Zhou Lingyin.]

[To your disappointment, there was no trace of Zhou Lingyin within dozens of miles, nothing but desolation.]

[Helplessly, you continued towards the Demon Emperor’s sarcophagus, and the moment you approached it, you died.]

Second death.

Just like the last time, Su Nan still couldn’t figure out how he died, and foresight didn’t provide any clues.

Most importantly, Zhou Lingyin wasn’t found in his foresight!

“How could it be? Zhou Lingyin isn’t around here?” Su Nan’s face darkened; if Zhou Lingyin wasn’t here, then all his efforts would be in vain.

“No, there seems to be one place I haven’t searched.”

Su Nan’s eyes flickered, landing on the small hill beneath the sarcophagus.

“In the foresight, it is said that this small hill is like a large tomb. Could this really be a tomb, and is it possible that Zhou Lingyin is inside the hill?”

Su Nan looked at the small hill, which was like a massive tomb, and an idea formed in his mind.

“My adventure was triggered here, but that doesn’t mean it’s related to the Demon Emperor’s sarcophagus. It could be in the hill.”

“If this is really a huge tomb, can I start looking for a way from inside the tomb?”

Without hesitation, he predicted again.

This time, he tried to search for cave-like entrances on the hill.

However, after using foresight twice, he searched every corner of the hill but found nothing.

Eventually, he still died in front of the sarcophagus.

“No entrance, could this just be an ordinary small hill?”

Su Nan furrowed his brows but very quickly dismissed the idea.

There were three reasons: firstly, the previous death foresight mentioned that this was the only small hill in this space; having a small hill in this desolate place was already unusual. Secondly, this hill possessed the ability to suppress strength. Thirdly, the Demon Emperor’s sarcophagus was situated here!

“Not having an entrance is not a problem.”
