“In the distant past, countless corpses of dark creatures were buried here. Among them were even dark creatures of the Saint Realm and Even the Great Emperor Realm. With such power… It seems quite normal,” Su Chen said casually.

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Chen’s divine sense expanded, covering an area of nearly a thousand miles. However, he couldn’t sense any presence of dark creatures.

“The locations where dark creatures choose to descend are usually very secretive. They might not appear in this territory,” Su Chen remarked.

“Master, should we explore the outskirts first?” Long Wu suggested as she gazed at the dark mountain range before them.

“Very well,” Su Chen agreed after some contemplation.

He then surveyed the mountains ahead and couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. His intuition told him that if the dark creatures had arrived in this area, they might not remain on the outskirts. They could even be deep within the Demon Slaying Altar.

After all, this place was a perilous land for the world’s inhabitants, but it could be a treasure trove for dark creatures. After all, their ancestors were buried in its deepest depths.

Just as Su Chen and Long Wu were preparing to leave the area, Su Chen’s storage ring suddenly vibrated. His expression changed, and he retrieved a jade slip from it. After scanning its contents with his divine sense, he couldn’t help but wear a meaningful smile.

“Master, what’s happening?” Long Wu asked, her curiosity piqued.

“It’s nothing,” Su Chen replied with a light smile. He put away the jade slip and said, “It’s just that a major battle is about to begin.”

Qin Hao had left the Dachu Empire’s territory for the Spirit Race, and it seemed that he was taking things seriously this time. Once the Spirit Race was dealt with, it would likely be Qin Yuan from the Qin family’s turn to face him. Thinking of this, Su Chen felt a sense of anticipation.

“Master, aren’t you going to check it out?” Long Wu asked, her eyes filled with excitement.

Su Chen shook his head and looked at Long Wu, raising an eyebrow. “Do you want to go?”

Although Long Wu was powerful, she was still considered young among the True Dragon clan, akin to a human eighteen-year-old. It was understandable that a young girl of her age would be curious.

“If Master is going, then I’ll go too,” Long Wu replied with a slight pout.

“Don’t worry.” Su Chen reassured her with a chuckle. He flew ahead, saying, “There will be opportunities.”

Qin Hao’s journey from the Dachu Empire to the Spirit Race’s headquarters would take some time, even with Cao Yun accompanying him. During this period, Su Chen had ample time to deal with the dark creatures in the Demon Slaying Altar.

Three days passed quickly.

Outside the Demon Slaying Altar, Su Chen and Long Wu walked together through the dark mountains. Their expressions were much graver than before. In these three days, they had circled the Demon Slaying Altar, but they hadn’t come across any traces of dark creatures. This was a situation that was far from ideal.

This was the last thing Su Chen wanted to see. The dark creatures that had crossed over didn’t seem to be on the outskirts of the Demon Slaying Altar but possibly deep within it.

“It’s one thing not to find any traces of dark creatures, but why can’t we even spot the Spirit Race?” Su Chen mused as he looked into the depths of the Demon Slaying Altar with a serious expression.

The Spirit Race and other factions had invested a lot to bring him to the Demon Slaying Altar, and now there was no sign of them. Su Chen couldn’t believe they were still en route.

“Since we’re already here, let’s go in and take a look!” Su Chen decided.

As he spoke, he stepped into the Demon Slaying Altar. Exploring the outer periphery posed no significant danger. The core area of the Demon Slaying Altar was a vast arena, with a continuous mountain range surrounding it. However, these mountains were all a single color, black. Even the flora and fauna here were ebony, with no other colors in sight.

Su Chen and Long Wu soon felt a disturbing aura as they entered the Demon Slaying Altar. With every step, the aura grew more unsettling, as if they were approaching an extremely terrifying presence. It was only after they fully entered the Demon Slaying Altar that they realized the grandeur of the mountains here. It was as if these mountains had been here since the dawn of time, with each one towering tens of thousands of feet into the sky, like divine pillars.

“Master, this place is incredibly strange. My divine sense seems to be suppressed,” Long Wu said gravely.

Su Chen had already warned her to be cautious of dark creatures and the lingering obsessions of the deceased dark creatures within the Demon Slaying Altar. However, now both their divine senses were suppressed, leaving them blind and deaf to potential dangers hidden in the area.

“If our divine senses are suppressed, it’s possible that theirs are as well,” Su Chen speculated as they continued forward. After a while, they reached a range of continuous mountains. There were forty-nine peaks connected to one another. Each one was as black as ink, shrouded in black mist, and blocked their path.

Upon reaching this area, it seemed that the laws of the world had undergone a transformation. Unusual spiritual herbs that didn’t belong to this world grew here as if it were a realm inhabited by dark creatures.

Su Chen raised his hand and shattered a distant hill to retrieve a black stone. Examining it carefully, he came to a realization.

“As expected! This place was created by the burial of numerous dark creatures in the past. After their bodies dissipated, they merged with this world, turning the surrounding thousand kilometers into an almost independent small realm,” Su Chen deduced.

The black stone he had retrieved was the rudimentary form of a Black Blood Stone. It wasn’t even a low-grade Black Blood Stone, as the blood essence power inside was incredibly mottled and couldn’t be absorbed.

However, this confirmed that this place could nurture a Black Blood Stone mine!

“Since there are mottled Black Blood Stones here, could the Black Blood Stones in the deeper parts of the Demon Slaying Altar be capable of producing middle-grade or even high-grade Black Blood Stones?” Su Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up as he murmured to himself.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the black mist in front of them suddenly surged towards them..
