Chapter 5110 Terrifying Altar
Chapter 5110 Terrifying Altar
The elder’s words almost made Long Chen jump. The way the elder looked at him… it felt as though he was about to take a bite out of Long Chen at any moment.
Brothers, please calm down! Don’t be rash! Long Chen pleaded silently.
If these two really wanted to eat him, he would have to fight back. However, even with Lei Linger and Huo Linger’s aid, he had no confidence in silently killing two three-vein Heaven Saints simultaneously. Any disturbance would alarm the six-vein Heaven Saint, and there could be even more powerful beings present—perhaps even a Human Emperor.
The elder pushing the car seemed tempted and gulped hard. Long Chen instantly felt a chill.
Fuck.
“What are you two doing? Dawdling?”
Just then, two more elders appeared, transporting a cart as well. This cart was packed with even more people than Long Chen’s, indicating that it had also been recently transported by a vortex.
The two elders quickly started moving their cart forward, joining the procession. As Long Chen observed, he noticed over ten additional carts accompanying them, all filled with Heavenly Chosens.
Passing by a mountain, Long Chen saw a large coffin. He had previously seen this coffin with the violet crystal heavenly eye, but seeing it up close revealed its true enormity—it was like a world unto itself. Most of it was buried in the mud, with only the lid exposed. Long Chen’s cart was soon brought to the central area of the lid.
The cart quivered as a large hole appeared in its base. Before Long Chen could react, the two elders hurled everyone and their cart into the hole.
The hole was a passageway leading straight down, and the cart tumbled after Long Chen. It landed with a splash in some kind of liquid. Long Chen managed to jump out just before impact, hovering in mid-air. As he surveyed his surroundings, his heart raced.
The inside of the coffin was filled with a sea of blood, and the pungent smell made him feel nauseous. The cart and its contents floated aimlessly in one direction, and the slumbering experts slowly drifted over.
This place was pitch-black, but Long Chen didn’t dare to use his divine sense. He lightly stepped onto an expert, floating along with it. After a bit, Long Chen’s eyes grew accustomed to the darkness, and he saw a strange building at the center of the blood sea.
He quickly realized what it was—a sacrificial altar. It was perfectly square, and every corner had a giant fiendish devil skull on it.
At the heart of the altar was a stone fetus, and Long Chen’s heart shook when he saw it.
“There’s more than one!” Long Chen was astonished. The previous stone fetus had been exposed outside, not concealed within a coffin. Moreover, this stone fetus was entirely different from the one Long Chen had seen with the violet crystal heavenly eye. The shape and the veins on its shell were distinctively different.
“This stone fetus seems to contain something stronger!” said Long Chen, his excitement growing as he observed it.
However, he didn’t dare to be rash. Slowly floating over to the altar, he was at the center of the floating bodies. Some people were only a few meters away.
Long Chen suppressed his aura and focused his mind. When the first body touched the altar, it exploded, and the altar quivered slightly. Long Chen saw wisps of white energy being devoured by the four devil skulls.
“Damn, their essence, qi, and spirit are all absorbed,” muttered Long Chen. Suddenly, he realized that these four skulls seemed to have some life fluctuations. When they absorbed the energy from the first body, Long Chen’s soul quivered.
“These heads must have belonged to six-vein Heaven Saints when they were alive!” Long Chen’s jaw dropped. The fluctuations emitted by the skulls carried a terrifying aura reminiscent of the elder he had seen outside.
As the bodies of the Heavenly Chosens struck the altar, they were blasted apart by an invisible ripple, and their energy was drawn into the four skulls. The stone fetus, which had previously remained still, now displayed flowing runes. From a bird’s-eye view, the altar resembled a four-headed monster, with the stone fetus at its core.
“Essence blood, spiritual qi, soul essence, Doyen energy—all are being absorbed without a trace left behind… and it’s specifically targeting Heavenly Chosens. What could be inside this stone fetus?”
More and more experts died in their slumber just like that. At this moment, Long Chen realized that the vortices that the devil creatures were generating actually borrowed power from this altar.
The altar seemed to control the souls of the sacrificed, keeping them unconscious even in death. However, Long Chen noticed that this power had no effect on him. He quickly took out a dozen medicinal pills and tossed them toward the altar. They exploded into powder upon contact. He tried two more pills, but the same thing happened. The altar was covered in a mysterious energy that disintegrated anything coming into contact with it.
“There’s no way to get close…” Long Chen’s expression grew grim. No wonder no one was watching this place. Everyone in the blood sea would be pushed to the altar, and no one could resist the altar’s power. They would all die. freёwebnoѵel.com
Long Chen suddenly had a thought, and his mind sank into the primal chaos space. Previously, Long Chen had tossed a three-vein Heaven Saint devil creature onto the black soil. While most of it had been devoured, one of its legs was still sticking out.
Long Chen quickly grabbed a rotting leg from the floating bodies, managing to catch it before it completely disintegrated. He then tossed the leg onto the altar, and to his relief, it stuck to the surface without provoking any reaction from the altar.
Long Chen was delighted by that. At this moment, the body he was one was about to touch the altar, so he jumped off, landing on that leg. Just then, the body he had been on exploded, leaving Long Chen standing on the altar.
In an instant, a vast divine might crashed down on him, causing his entire body to tense and his hair to stand on end.
