When the old man said this, Long Chen was so frightened he nearly jumped up, because the guy was baring his teeth and staring at him. The guy's eyes were green, as if he could come up and bite Long Chen at any moment.
"Bro, don't mess around, don't be impulsive, stay calm." Long Chen silently prayed that if these two really wanted to eat him, Long Chen would definitely resist.
But even with the help of Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er, Long Chen wasn't confident he could quietly take out two Three-Vein Heavenly Saint-level experts at the same time.
If even the slightest commotion occurred, it could alert that Six-Vein Heavenly Saint. Besides, who knows how many Six Veins Heavenly Saints are here, or even if there are even more terrifying Human Emperor-level beings.
"Gulp."
The old man pushing the cart behind seemed tempted by the words, swallowing hard. Long Chen immediately felt a chill run down his spine and cursed to himself, "I'm doomed."
"What are you doing? Dragging your feet? At
that moment, in the distance, two elderly men were also pulling a large cart. There were far more people on the cart than Long Chen's side, clearly having just been teleported here by the vortex.
The two elders shouted sharply, and the two people here trembled in fear. They hurriedly pushed the cart and continued forward.
"Creak, creak... As
the carts moved forward, Long Chen noticed more than a dozen carts being pushed around. Looking at all the carts, they were packed with people, and each one was at the Child of Destiny level.
As they passed through a mountain hollow, Long Chen saw a massive coffin. He had previously seen this coffin with his Purple Crystal Heavenly Eye, but only when he got close did he realize it was actually tens of thousands of miles in diameter.
Most of it was buried in the soil, with the coffin lid outside. Soon, Long Chen's wooden cart was pushed to the center of the lid.
"Buzz"—
The coffin trembled slightly, forming a huge hole a hundred zhang in diameter at the center. Before Long Chen could react, the two elders pushed both the man and the cart into the hole.
"Rumble rumble...
That large hole was a slanting downward passage. Due to immense inertia, the wheels spun rapidly, and Long Chen roared down along the passage.
"Thud!"
The large cart fell into the water, but Long Chen jumped up before it could sink, his body suspended in midair. He looked around, his heart pounding wildly.
Inside the coffin was a sea of blood, the pungent stench nauseating. After the cart fell into the water, it drifted in one direction, while the sleeping experts were floating on the surface, slowly moving toward the central area.
It was pitch black here, and Long Chen didn't dare use his spiritual sense lightly. He gently stepped on the body of a powerful figure and floated alongside them. After a while, his vision gradually adjusted to the darkness. He saw a strange building in the center of the blood sea.
Soon, Long Chen saw clearly—it was an altar, square-shaped, and in every corner was embedded a massive demon skull.
Among the four massive demon skulls, a stone embryo was inlaid inside. When Long Chen saw the stone embryo, his heart skipped a beat.
This stone base was completely different from the one he had seen with his Amethyst Heavenly Eye; both the shape and the patterns were distinct.
"Not the same one,"
Long Chen's heart stirred. The stone embryo he saw with his Purple Crystal Heavenly Eye was not so concealed, and it was exposed outside, not inside the coffin.
"It seems this stone embryo is even more incredible!" Long Chen looked at the massive stone embryo, feeling a bit excited.
However, Long Chen dared not act rashly and slowly drifted toward the altar. Long Chen was in the center of the crowd, and some people were now only a dozen zhang away from the altar.
At this moment, Long Chen held his breath and focused, quietly observing.
"Pfft"
The moment a person's body touched the altar, the person suddenly exploded. The altar trembled slightly, and Long Chen saw countless streams of white energy being absorbed into the mouths of the four demon heads.
"Wow, all my essence, energy, and spirit have been drained." Long Chen's heart pounded wildly. Only then did he realize that the four demon heads seemed to have life fluctuation. The moment they absorbed the energy, Long Chen felt his soul tremble.
"Wow, this head must have been a Six-Vein Celestial Saint before he was alive!" Long Chen's mouth dropped open because he sensed an extremely terrifying aura from the fluctuations of the demon's head, similar to the old man outside.
"Puff puff puff...
When these people's bodies touched the altar, an invisible ripple shattered them, and all their energy was absorbed by the four massive heads.
The stone embryo had shown no reaction before, but now strange runes flowed on it. Only then did Long Chen notice that the altar, viewed from above, looked like a monster with four heads, while the stone fetus resembled its heart.
"Essence blood, spiritual energy, soul, and destiny power—not a single bit was wasted, all absorbed, and it was specifically consumed by the Child of Destiny level. What exactly is hidden inside this stone embryo?" Long Chen's heart pounded wildly.
"Puff puff puff...
More and
more people were shattered and devoured, dying in their sleep. Suddenly, Long Chen understood that the vortex formed by those demons was harnessing the power of this altar.
This altar holds the souls of these people, preventing them from awakening until death. However, this power is ineffective against Long Chen.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen waved his hand and threw out more than a dozen pills. When these pills touched the altar, they shattered into powder.
Long Chen threw out two more swords, and it was the same. The entire altar was enveloped by a strange force, and any touch would shatter it to pieces.
"Can't get closer."
Long Chen's expression changed. No wonder there was no one guarding this place. This sea of blood would push all the living toward the altar. No one could resist its power, and everyone would be killed.
Suddenly, Long Chen had a thought. He hurriedly sent his divine sense into the black soil of the chaotic space. The three-veined Heavenly Saint-level demons he had thrown in earlier had all been devoured, but one leg still hadn't been devoured yet.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen hurriedly took out the leg. Most of it was already rotten, but luckily Long Chen acted quickly. If he had been any later, the leg would have disappeared.
Long Chen threw that leg onto the altar, and with a smack, the leg stuck to the altar, but it didn't trigger the altar to fight back.
Long Chen watched with great joy. At this moment, the body beneath his feet was about to touch the altar. He jumped up and landed on that broken leg.
"Bang!"
At that moment, the body Long Chen had been standing on had already exploded with a thunderous crash.
Long Chen landed on the altar, and the moment he landed, a vast divine might swept over him. Long Chen immediately felt his whole body tighten and his hair stood on end.
