Yang Jian was the first to reveal a puzzled expression and said, "Empty?"
"Indeed, it is empty. There's no corpse of Haotian here, just a resentful spirit. It's quite strange. Could it be that Haotian is still alive?"
Sun Wukong also sensed that the bronze coffin was empty, devoid of any corpse.
A powerhouse like Haotian, even in death, his body would be everlasting and not just disappear.
Moreover, nourished by ninety-nine dragon veins, it's even less likely to have dissolved.
There are only two explanations: one is that Haotian never died in the first place. Despite the presence of a resentful spirit, it could be something he deliberately created himself to deceive living beings.
The second possibility is that Haotian did die but was reborn after death, and escaped from the tomb, having already left the place long ago.
Given the strength of the resentful spirit now, Haotian's power should not be weak.
