The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 2125

There were too many skeletons around. If he wanted to so much as take a single step around this place, he would have to step on them, or stay completely still. There was no third option.

But it wasn't all that bad; various kinds of magic treasures and weapons were also scattered everywhere on the ground. No, wait, they were worthless now!

Too much time had gone by since the weapons had been taken care of. Now, they had lost their spiritual energy and rusted. They were just worthless metal scraps and when he tried to pick one up, it turned into powder at his touch.

"This looks like an ancient battlefield!"

Brady, as ancient a man as he was, was still shocked by this horrific scene.

So many creatures had died here that the skeletons were scattered all over the ground. After so many years, the resentment of the dead still didn't dissipate, turning into terrible evil energy and flooding over this area.

Thump, thump...

Just as Austin and Brady were gazing at the ancient battlefield around them in shock, a huge bang rang out from the very depths of the palace, making their hearts skip several beats at once.

"Is someone still alive in here?"

Both Austin and Brady were shocked.

Thump... Thump...

Yet, the same sound echoed again, like a drum was beating hard far away from them. The strangest thing was that the sound was incredibly dull, and somehow made their blood accelerate every time. It emanated a sort of pressure that could, somehow, put pressure right on your blood vessels.

"I have a strange feeling that it sounds like the heartbeat of a powerful creature. Am I delusional or what?"

Austin remarked with surprise and doubt in his voice.

'If it really is the heartbeat of some creature, then it must be scary and humongous in size!' he thought

Driven by curiosity, Austin and Brady began searching for the place where the sound seemed to be coming from. They were both excited and afraid of what they would find.

After searching for an hour, they seemed to be getting close as the sound was much clearer now.

Austin released all of his physical strength to protect his heart.

And Brady also released some sort of secret technique to seal off his body from external interference.

Even so, each time the two heard the thumping sound, their hearts still beat wildly in response. Whatever this thing was, it was remarkable.

A moment later, they stopped dead in their tracks, shocked by the scene in front of them.

A five-colored sacrificial altar was floating in the air ahead of them, as if suspended by magic.

On the altar were nine tall stone pillars. Each of these pillars had metallic chains thicker than a bucket wrapped around it, with each of them larger than an average cupboard.

These chains extended all the way to the center of the altar and had been used to lock up a pitch-black large heart.

It was easily as large as a house, and much scarier and gruesome than a ghost.

A tremendous amount of thick evil energy was lingering around it.

A giant heart trapped by nine huge chains! Now they had really seen all!

Both Austin and Brady were shocked by this scene and became speechless.

As if that weren't enough, the altar was piled with thousands of skeletons, the pile of which had turned into a mountain. The bones were of humans, beasts, demon races, birds, and whatnot!

Thump, thump, thump...

Somehow, even after being separated from its body, the heart was still alive and constantly beating.

"Ho, ho...

This is a sight for ages! Two little creatures broke in here. Interesting! Very interesting! Ho, ho..."

Just as Austin and Brady were trying to recover from their astonishment and disbelief, they suddenly heard a burst of weird laughter emanating from the pitch-black heart.

'This heart is alive indeed!'

Austin and Brady exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Luckily, it seemed like the heart was completely locked up by the nine red chains around it and couldn't leave the altar, so the two didn't turn around and run away.

"You two little guys, come up to the altar at once!"

The voice sounded again.

At the same time, a fierce wind, as malicious as a sharp, invisible blade, and as dangerous as the heart in front of them, suddenly blew towards the duo.

Under Austin's command, his demonic avatar rushed out and stood in front of him, releasing a monstrous aura to block the wind.

"What?
