Chapter 1263 The Mysterious Coffin

At the bottom of this huge, square pit was an altar suspended in the air by four huge chains .

These chains were all ten meters thick and flowing with energy . They were like four black dragons connected to the altar .

There was a huge amount of energy slowly flowing from the chains into the altar . Divine runes floated around the altar, and its terrifying aura made Long Chen, Bao Buping, and Chang Hao’s hair stand on end .

“What d.a.m.n thing is this?!” Bao Buping and Chang Hao became covered in cold sweat .

“It’s probably connected to the corpses in the notches . Let’s go take a look,” said Long Chen .

“Don’t you think we’ll startle this world’s creatures?” asked Chang Hao gravely . They couldn’t help but feel terrified in front of this altar . That was a feeling that came from the core of their souls .

“Since we’ve come, we have to take a look . ” Long Chen suppressed his aura as much as possible and carefully stepped onto one of the chains . The chain didn’t react to him at all .

Long Chen felt like he had stepped onto a powerful current . He could sense boundless energy pouring into the altar .

“This current of energy is extremely complicated . Looks like the corpses on the walls really only exist for this altar,” muttered Long Chen .

Bao Buping and Chang Hao exchanged a glance . Clenching their teeth, they also stepped onto the chain .

The chain was so huge that the three of them were like four ants crawling along it . It took them six hours to walk across .

As they got closer, the pressure grew more terrifying . When they reached the divine runes, they were blocked from getting any closer . The divine runes blocked their sight as well .

“Now what?” Bao Buping and Chang Hao were dumbfounded . It had taken so long to reach this point, but it had been for nothing?

Long Chen looked at the divine runes and sank into thought . He slowly moved the black pot closer to them .

Long Chen was also extremely nervous . These divine runes were clearly some kind of formation . If they touched them directly… probably the three of them would be instantly killed by the formation even before this world’s lifeforms sensed them .

The only thing that could possibly work was the black pot . This mysterious treasure had to have its own miraculous abilities . After all, it came from that mysterious expert from the Four Nations Ancient Remnant .

Seeing Long Chen get closer to the formation, Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s hearts rose into their throats . Even if they were unafraid of death, to say they could be fearless in front of such a formation and in such an oppressive environment would be nonsense .

Death wasn’t to be feared . But a meaningless death would be too stupid .

When the black pot got close to the formation, the formation quivered ever so slightly . Seeing this, Long Chen sighed . There was no way this would work . The formation was already starting to react even at this distance .

Although the pot was strange and didn’t unleash any aura, it was still unable to hide from the formation’s senses .

Just as Long Chen was preparing to give up, the pot shook slightly and a small burst of particles flew out of it . Those particles were like the rust that formed on the bottom of a pot .

That ‘rust’ flew out and merged into the formation’s divine runes . A small opening a few feet wide opened up, delighting Long Chen .

“The pot really is mighty . ” Long Chen praised the pot inside . It was truly worthy of being a treasure left behind by a transcendent power . It had boundless, marvelous uses .

“Let’s go . ” Long Chen beckoned to the two of them . They slowly walked through the opening the pot had formed for them . Once they were inside the formation, Long Chen put the pot away, and the formation returned to normal .

Once they reached the altar, the first thing they saw was an eight-sided formation of divine runes covering a huge coffin .

“Let’s check the coffin . ” Long Chen directly jumped and flew over to it . Bao Buping and Chang Hao nervously followed, now realizing that when it came to guts, they weren’t on the same level as Long Chen .

Once he reached the coffin, Long Chen realized it was sealed and he couldn’t tell what was happening inside . “It’s sealed tight . Come and help me open it . ”

Bao Buping and Chang Hao jumped in fright . “Long Chen, what if there’s some terrifying existence inside…?”

“It’s fine, just open it . Otherwise, we’ll never know what secrets are within . ” Long Chen took out a King item spear and slowly inserted it between the coffin and its cover .

The cover was too heavy . On his own, he was unable to move it . Bao Buping and Chang Hao looked at each other . Taking out the broadswords on their backs, they also jammed them in .
