Chapter 661 The Elder Of Veritable Demon Sect

Austin stepped on the altar to collect those spiritual energy crystals, when a sudden dizziness overpowered him. For the next few moments, the whole world around him seemed to sway before his eyes as if he was caught in a mist whirling slowly.

'Is it... Is it a teleportation array?' Austin wondered. Everything around him seemed to be swirling and he was unable to keep a clear head.

Trying hard to focus, Austin suddenly realized that the whole altar was actually a teleportation array, and he had accidentally activated it.

Austin groaned inwardly at this fact. His doubts seemed true as the altar looked very ancient. Quite understandably no one had ever talked about it or knew its story since it was deserted from a long time ago. He was worried. God only knew where this array was taking him.

Austin couldn't ignore his fear of the unknown. Even though he was a powerful cultivator, he still got butterflies in his stomach while he was being transported. The idea of not knowing where he would land terrified him. He could only wish that his destination would not be a dangerous place.

For moments which seemed like forever, he kept spinning and shaking. Finally he landed on his feet and regained his balance.

Just when he was back to his senses, the passageway of the teleportation array whooshed and closed behind him. Now there seemed to be no way for him to go back. Austin sighed and looked ahead. He found that he was in a dark and spooky place, which was enveloped with an eerie green light. This seemed no place for the living. There was a strange cold wind blowing incessantly. Ghastly cries and screams seemed to be coming from the distance. Austin shuddered listening to those voices and feeling the vibes he got from the place.

'Damn it!' he cursed in his mind. 'Don't tell me, I've been brought to hell.'

He felt utterly uncomfortable and apprehensive.

"Where are we now, master?"

Violet's voice rose in Austin's Soul Sea. Although she was kept in the Illusion Bead, she could sense almost everything happening outside. She was eager to know where they had been brought by the teleportation array.

"I don't have a clue," Austin replied. "Don't come out now. You are not strong enough," he added.

Austin moved around and took a good look at the place.

The light was quite dim, barely bright enough to let Austin see things around. He paid attention to the surrounding and realized that it was filled with vital energy, and the density was incredibly high. It was high to the extent that it started to form white clouds and spread around like thick floating cotton.

"Gee, this is strange!

I bet there is more vital energy than air in this place,"

Austin exclaimed in surprise.

He had been to many places in the Prime Martial World, but none of them had held this amount of vital energy. He had never been to anywhere which could be compared to the place where he had just landed.

It was quite clear that no medicinal pills or even vital energy crystals were needed if one wished to improve his cultivation base here. All he had to do was to absorb as much vital energy as possible from there, and wait for the breakthrough to happen.

It was truly an ideal place for practicing and refining if one didn't care about it

o ashes in the blink of an eye as if a hidden bomb had exploded within.

Austin was stunned. For a moment, he didn't dare to move. He was left shocked by what he had seen. Like other dead bodies in that place, the one he had seen crumble, had spent ages in darkness and become fragile. Naturally, it would turn to dust by the slightest touch or disturbance.

Austin turned himself away to avoid the bone dust that was filling up the air. He started to examine the jade badge carefully.

As expected, a few words were carved on it. They were too small but still recognizable.

Austin read it to himself. It said, "Here lies the third Elder of the Veritable Demon Sect, Eddie". Austin could read the date of his death that was engraved below the name.

'Veritable Demon Sect?'

Austin read those words again. The name rang a bell. He had come across it somewhere.

Suddenly, he remembered that Marwell had once mentioned to him about the Veritable Demon Sect when he was introducing all the sects of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom to him.

Marwell had said that the Veritable Demon Sect was good at transforming human bodies to great strengths and make ferocious men. Those men could be as strong and cruel as beasts, and death was what could be expected if they were in on you in a fight.

Thus, the Veritable Demon Sect was known as the factory of formidable transformed humans in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.

And the fact that it was one of the five top sects in that kingdom meant that it had lived up to its name. It was not just stories and myths, they indeed must have been so powerful to leave a mark in the kingdom.

"That's strange! How come the Elder of the Veritable Demon Sect was laid to rest here?

What exactly is this place?"

Questions whirled in Austin's mind after he read those words on the jade badge.

He looked at it again. This time his eyes were focusing on the date of the Elder's death. He was able to make out something. After a simple calculation, he was shocked to the core.

From what was written on the badge, and if he was not mistaken, the so-called third Elder of the Veritable Demon Sect had died seven hundred years ago!
