Austin found a lot of valuable things after raking through the coffins of past leaders of Veritable Demon Sect.
It took him a while before coming to the last coffin which was located in the innermost part of that place. Unlike other coffins, this one was tightly closed with straces of taboo energy that disabled his sense.
Something was wicked about it. He was more than sure of that when he felt his blood rushed through his veins faster and his heartbeat went wild. It was as if something in the coffin was pulling all the blood in his body.
A frown showed on Austin's face as he shook his head. The disabling energy inside the coffin was stopping him from sensing what was inside it.
Nevertheless, it was the only coffin which was closed this tight. It was more than obvious that whoever Sect Leader who was inside it didn't want anyone to open his coffin and investigate it.
What a counter-productive act since that only made Austin even more curious. There should be something special about it. All the other coffins there were not protected by the disabling energy. Thus, making this extra special.
Just that thought made Austin's curiosity fired up even more. He could no longer suppress it.
After sminutes of staring at it, he raised his hand and gave the coffin a mild tap. His vital energy spurted out from his palm and went straight to the source of the disabling force inside the coffin.
However, Austin couldn't match the power of this Sect Leader of the Veritable Demon Sect. He wasn't able to crack the coffin's disabling energy at all! This particular Sect Leader had been dead for God knew how long. Regardless of how strong this leader's power was, it was also evident that the disabling energy he cast on this cave had already declined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn less than half an hour, Austin destroyed the disabling energy.
The light of the disabling energy dimmed, and the disabling energy on the coffin lost its effect. Austin took a deep breath and reached out to open the top cover.
There was a corroded skeleton inside it. Shock flooded Austin unintentionally upon giving the skeleton a stern once-over.
Almost all its bones were broken and crashed.
Damn! What happened? Every Sect Leader of the Veritable Demon Sect who was there had a cultivation base beyond Austin's ability. Thus, he knew that this Sect Leader was no exception. Moreover, the Veritable Sect was known to specialize in body cultivation. Anyone who becthe Sect Leader was for sure hundred folds physically stronger than any one of the slevel who cultivated the vital energy.
There were only really few attacks that could cause his whole body to break.
It was more than evident the Sect Leader before Austin fought with something very powerful. Nobody knew if this Sect Leader won or lost. One thing for sure though was that he was badly beaten and must have died because of his injuries.
What kind of being could break the bones of a Sect Leader of Veritable Demon Sect? Lost in his thoughts, Austin's gaze was drawn to a dark bottle placed at the sternum of the skeleton.
It seemed that the Sect Leader had put his hand over his chest just before he died. The bottle was cast with disabling energy as if to protect what was inside it.
Terrible evil energy emerged from the bottle and Austin suddenly felt his body and mind getting painfully affected by it.
Click, click...
A cracking sound echoed from the bottle, denoting that Austin broke the enchantment that was once wrapping the coffin. Before he knew it, the bottle started shaking violently as if something was trying to rush out of it.
The movement inside the dark bottle was so strong that the glass couldn't take the impacts and began to crack everywhere. The light of the disabling energy pouring out of the bottle strangely alternated between dim and bright.
Austin remained staring at the dark bottle without blinking. It was more than obvious that whatever was inside the bottle must not be easy to handle.
Nervousness flooded Austin upon realizing the terrible energy the bottle was holding.
Click, click...
One last cracking sound and the bottle exploded into pieces. A golden light instantly covered the whole tomb, making it bright against its dark background.
Then, the fierce evil spirit at the center of the golden light swept around the area, causing the nearby coffins to burst into dust! The skeletons inside the coffins turned to pieces in a flash.
Austin stared intently at the golden light. His shock was written all over his face as his spiritual sense tightly locked with the center of it. A few seconds after and his eyes widened in shock that he couldn't help but shout, "A drop of gold blood!" He couldn't be wrong! The bloody smell coming from the golden light was indeed the scent of glittering gold blood. It was dazzling as melted gold and it was filled with energy enough to made Austin tremble.
That was when a powerful vitality, as endless as the ocean burst from the gold blood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStill shocked about what was going on, Austin couldn't believe that a certain Sect Leader of the Veritable Demon Sect sealed a drop of gold blood in a bottle and chose to have it buried with him.
Whose blood was it? It was more than obvious that the Sect Leader of the Veritable Demon Sect valued this gold blood so much.
However, Austin could easily tell that the blood wasn't human blood at all.
It was just that he couldn't figure it out yet.
The drop of gold blood seemed to have a mind of its own. It remained floating before him for a while as if gauging his target. Then without any ado, it rushed to the spot between his two eyebrows and disappeared.
The next moment, a ferocious look appeared on Austin's face.
He felt every drop of blood inside his veins began to boil and growl. It seemed that the gold blood that entered his body exploded within him. The power of terror it produced was circulating in his energy meridian and flesh. Just a split second and Austin's body was fully covered with bruises! He was burning from within and the pain was unbearable.
The dazzling golden light shrouded Austin. Austin could not help but scream, making the Holy Tomb teem with a strange atmosphere of gold and bloody red.
He could feel his bones dislocating and creaking. There was a pale light above his head that was alternately changing from gold to crimson red.
It was only then that Austin realized that the gold blood was removing all the normal blood from his body.
Half an hour after and the Holy Tomb that was once illuminated by golden and red lights turned dark. Austin couldn't see anything! He shuddered and gritted his teeth. His skin was cracked all over and his blood was dripping from his body, wetting the ground.
He was in total pain! However, amid the darkness, Austin seemed to begin seeing visions unfolding right before his eyes. He saw an earth-shattering battle happening.
