Qin Chen had thought of countless possibilities regarding the deep pit below.
For instance, it could be sealing a powerful ancient foreign tribe expert.
Or perhaps it sealed a terrifying demon creature.
Alternatively, it might be sealing something else entirely.
However, he could never have imagined that when the black mist at the bottom of the pit dissipated, what appeared before his eyes was actually an empty altar.
The altar was completely bare, with nothing on it, completely overturning Qin Chen's expectations.
"Impossible!" Qin Chen frowned.
The feeling of heart palpitations he had just experienced didn't seem fake at all. If the altar was indeed empty, then how could he have felt that kind of heart palpitating sensation earlier?
Or rather, why did those souls suddenly rush into the pit, being devoured by an invisible force?
"You, go down and take a look!"
Turning to look at Bloodhand King, Qin Chen said coldly.
What?
Bloodhand King jumped in fright, looking at Qin Chen in disbelief, his eyes revealing a fierce light, as if to say, you want me to go down?
"What's wrong? Unwilling?" Qin Chen glanced over indifferently.
Bloodhand King felt a chill run down his spine under Qin Chen's gaze, cold sweat instantly breaking out.
It suddenly dawned on him that the current Qin Chen was no longer a genius from the Great Wei Dynasty, but a peak seventh-level master who could easily kill him.
"This... Young Master Chen, you said earlier that the ruins below are a seal. If I go down, I'm definitely going to die."
Bloodhand King looked pitiful, gazing at Qin Chen with a woeful expression, as if he were a wronged little wife, pleading.
"Going down means going down, stop talking nonsense, or do you want me to kick you down?" Qin Chen snorted coldly.
He had already scanned the altar below with his soul force and found that there was indeed nothing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Bloodhand King to go down to his doom.
However, to be cautious, he could only let Bloodhand King scout the way first.
"Fine, I'll go, I'll go, is that enough?"
Feeling Qin Chen's icy gaze that seemed to cut through him, Bloodhand King shivered, cursing in his heart, wishing he could curse out Qin Chen's ancestors for eighteen generations, but still had to feign innocence as he swooped down.
Swish!
As a peak seventh-level master, Bloodhand King's speed was astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the bottom of the pit. But at that moment—
"Bloodlight Escape!"
A hazy blood light suddenly ignited on Bloodhand King, and a dense aura erupted violently from his body.
Boom! In the next moment, he emitted a terrifying aura, instantly transforming into a streak of blood-red light that shot toward the ruins outside, moving so fast it was as if his backside was on fire.
"Hahaha, you brat still want this king to help you scout? What a pipe dream! Just wait, I’ll go find my ancestor right now, and when that time comes, I will definitely make my ancestor shatter your corpse into pieces!"
A venomous laugh escaped his lips, as Bloodhand King's true essence and blood burned to the limit. Boom! In an instant, his speed increased several times, and he was about to burst out of the ruins.
"I knew you would have this trick, Sky Seal!"
Qin Chen sneered, unfazed, raising his right hand. The black seal appeared out of nowhere in the void, spinning and instantly expanding to the size of a mountain, crashing down toward Bloodhand King.
"Boom!"
Bloodhand King never expected Qin Chen to be prepared. He watched helplessly as the massive black mountain appeared before him and collided violently.
With a thud, that black seal, which could easily obliterate a seventh-level treasure, failed to pierce through, how incredibly hard was it? It sent Bloodhand King spinning and dazed, his head buzzing as he fell onto the altar, unable to get up for a long time.
After observing carefully for a moment and finding nothing unusual, Qin Chen put away the Sky Seal and jumped down beside Bloodhand King.
"Hmm? There was definitely something here before!"
