The crowd moved into action, and in a short time, Skyreach Peak had been decorated beautifully. Now everything was ready, just waiting for Lady Sikong's arrival.
While everyone was waiting, Qin Chen and his party finally arrived at the Decomposing Blood Grave.
“What is this…” Upon sensing the Decomposing Blood Grave from afar, the divine phoenix fairy and others could not help but feel secretly shocked, their faces filled with excitement.
Because they sensed the aura of the supreme level.
“Is it the Decomposing power of a half-step supreme level Dark powerhouse?”
Qin Chen, with his fiery eyes and golden vision, immediately saw through the essence of the Blood Grave ahead.
The Dark Clan was formidable, and the Dark Clan member Gu Yi, whom Qin Chen had killed at the entrance of the Eternal Abyss of Demons, was at the half-step supreme realm but possessed the power of the supreme level.
Dark Clan members were generally more terrifying than both the human race and the Demon Tribe.
However, the half-step supreme level didn’t mean much to Qin Chen; what he was truly interested in was the Dark Source within those Dark Clan members.
But when Qin Chen looked towards the Decomposing Blood Grave, his expression changed slightly.
“This is…” The Decomposing power continued to dissipate into the void, far more bizarre than the aura of the half-step supreme he had previously slain. Within that Decomposing power, besides the Dark Source, there was also a faint trace of another force dispersing.
This made Qin Chen's expression change.
Because this force was extremely special, faintly merging with the heavenly dao of this world.
“Something’s not right; the Blood Grave in this Dark Ancestor Land isn’t naturally decomposing.”
Qin Chen focused his gaze. He vaguely saw a terrifying restriction surging within the Blood Grave, which accelerated the Decomposing process.
This shocked Qin Chen because he had learned from the divine phoenix fairy and others that the Decomposing of the Blood Grave was a natural phenomenon, the result of the Dark Clan powerhouse who fell long ago naturally merging with the heavens and earth over time.
But now, Qin Chen faintly saw a terrifying restriction deep within the Blood Grave, which was clearly not a natural phenomenon but intentionally caused by a powerful person.
Who could it be?
A flash of insight crossed Qin Chen's mind, and he had a sudden suspicion.
Only a few major rulers of the Black Jade Continent could set down such a restriction in this Dark Ancestor Land.
“Is it Sikong Zhen?”
Qin Chen turned to the divine phoenix fairy, “You mentioned before that whenever the Decomposing Blood Grave appears, there would usually be a Blood River nearby?”
The divine phoenix fairy was momentarily stunned, then nodded, “I can’t say there will always be a Blood River, but when the Blood Grave decomposes, the probability of a Blood River appearing increases significantly.”
Qin Chen's eyes flashed.
That’s it.
The Sikong Sacred Ground has a palace in this Dark Ancestor Land, and every time Sikong Zhen's palace appears, there would be a Blood River nearby, and the Decomposing Blood Grave would be inside the Blood River. Could this be a coincidence?
Absolutely not.
It seems that the Decomposing Blood Grave is related to the so-called Lord Sikong, but what could his purpose be?
Qin Chen felt that he was perhaps touching upon something significant.
“Over there…” Qin Chen turned his head and saw Skyreach Peak in the distance.
“My lord, that is Skyreach Peak. From the top of Skyreach Peak, one can see most of the depths of the Dark Ancestor Land. Many times, when our Dark Clan powerhouses come to the Dark Ancestor Land, they rest at Skyreach Peak because once the Blood Grave completely decomposes, there is a high probability of seeing it from there.”
The divine phoenix fairy explained.
“Let’s go to Skyreach Peak.”
Originally, Qin Chen wanted to rush directly into the Decomposing Blood Grave to investigate what the Decomposing Blood Grave was truly about.
