Chapter 1262 A Ghastly Sight

There was a black chain stabbing the corpse through its spine . The chain was extremely strange, but the most shocking thing was that this chain seemed to be alive, as if it was pulsating flesh . It contained its own living aura .

It was like the chain was growing out of the corpse’s back . It connected to the stone wall behind him, and they could clearly sense the corpse’s energy slowly being extracted .

Long Chen, Bao Buping, and Chang Hao’s scalps turned numb . This sight was simply appalling . They continued downward and quickly saw another notch with another corpse .

This corpse was of a female, and its aura was even stronger . She had fire-red hair and was very beautiful . There was a scale growing on her forehead .

“It’s an ancient race expert,” whispered Bao Buping . She possessed the specific aura of the ancient races, and it was easy to recognize her just from her appearance .

She was also a rank seven Celestial and had reached the Soul Transformation realm . If she had been alive, her power would have been terrifying .

“Are these corpses from the dark era?” asked Chang Hao .

Long Chen shook his head . “Her robes don’t look like they come from that era . And based on the texture of her hair, this corpse’s age must be under ten thousand years . ”

As an alchemist, he had to be knowledgeable about the corrosion of time . It was a fundamental skill for alchemists when distinguis.h.i.+ng the ages of medicinal ingredients .

“How is that possible? If she only entered once the Sovereign seal weakened, how could her cultivation base be above the Jade Core realm?” said Bao Buping .

It was only after Devil Spirit Mountain’s Sovereign Blood Seal had weakened that the Martial Heaven Continent’s experts had been able to probe Devil Spirit Mountain . Basically everyone who went in never came out . It was unknown how many heavenly geniuses had been devoured .

Long Chen looked at the two of them . “The only possibility is that she broke through to the Soul Transformation realm after becoming a corpse . ”

Their expressions changed . Such a thing was too bizarre . Sensing the woman’s aura, it was like she was meditating . Then looking at the chain behind her, they were unable to refute this theory .

Long Chen’s expression was also grave . Devil Spirit Mountain was even stranger and more dangerous than he had expected . Once more warning the two of them to absolutely not touch the black marks, they continued downward .

As they continued descending, they saw more and more notches in the walls with corpses . The atmosphere was so tense that it was hard for them to breathe .

These corpses were all young and powerful Celestials . Seeing them stabbed through the back by chains in the wall was a ghastly sight .

The notches were lined up in even rows . There would be one every three hundred meters .

The majority of the notches had corpses in them, but some were empty with only a chain inside .

Seeing this, Long Chen’s heart sank . This square-shaped giant pit was like a deep well . If these notches continued in this pattern, then just how many notches did there have to be within this pit? Just how many corpses?

As they went deeper, they noticed that the corpses actually grew stronger . There were rank eight Celestials amongst them .

Seeing rank eight Celestials had been turned into corpses, Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s hearts pounded . These were existences on the same level as them .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, this is a senior of our Heaven Splitting Battle Sect!” As they continued downward, Bao Buping and Chang Hao suddenly saw the robes of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect . Their killing intent immediately soared .

But before they could reach out to sever the chain, Long Chen held them back . “Now isn’t the time to save them . ”

“Unacceptable! I won’t allow these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds to blaspheme the corpse of my Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s senior!” raged Bao Buping .

Long Chen furiously replied, “Do you still remember why we came here?! If you sacrificed all our lives to save a corpse, just how stupid would you be? Since they’ve come to Devil Spirit Mountain, all of these people knew what they were getting themselves into . Our goal is the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet and Devil Spirit Mountain’s secrets . If you cause our deaths here, will you be able to face the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s ancestors in death?”

“Buping, the old man already told us to listen to Long Chen . And he’s right . ” Chang Hao was equally infuriated, but he still retained some of his rationality .

Bao Buping gradually calmed down as he stared at Long Chen’s iron-stiff expression . Looking at the corpse, killing intent raged in his eyes, but he didn’t say any more .

Just at this moment, the sound of the wind changed . They immediately recognized it to be something flying through the air .

“What now?!” Bao Buping and Chang Hao were both caught off-guard . This sound was clearly not just one person . There had to be several of this world’s creatures flying over .
