The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 661

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 its weird atmosphere.

Austin unleashed his spiritual sense to go as far as it could so that he could investigate more about the mysterious place. After a while, a look of surprise came over his face.

He was getting more ideas about this strange place. First, there was vital energy in literally every corner of the place, like air which filled a balloon.

Second, it seemed to be an isolated and closed space which was about the size of a town. It was about 100 kilometers long and 100 kilometers wide, which by no means was a small area.

Besides, there were thick stone walls standing on the edge of that place. There were also stones about a dozen meters above Austin's head which made up the ceiling. When he looked down, he realized that the floor too was made of the same kind of stones. It was strange but it seemed to him like he was standing in a huge box of stones.

A stone box about the size of a town. This was really mysterious!

The next thing he discovered was that the place was guarded by various dangerous spell formations, restrictions and traps, which gave off a smell of hidden force and killing intent. One would have to face ruthless and horrible attacks if one unfortunately touched them.

The last thing he found there was terribly creepy. It gave him shivers. There were a large number of coffins placed in the stony space. They were scattered around like stars in the dark night sky, but in a spine-chilling way.

One by one, and row after row, there were coffins of huge size. These coffins were placed on the cold ground. It would be fair to say that the place was densely packed with those coffins. All those countless coffins.

But that wasn't the end of it all. There were other things too. The ground beside the coffins was littered with bones, probably it would be right to say there were skeletons. The flesh had already dropped from them and rotted. Clothes that once covered them had now turned into dust, except for a few stranded, tattered pieces clinging onto the bones.

From the look of them all, Austin could make out that those skeletons belonged to people who had died there a long time ago. Most of them were still in their skeletal shape, but one could imagine that they had long been weathered. The slightest touch would crumble the bones into powder.
