Austin found a lot of valuable things after raking through the coffins of past leaders of Veritable Demon Sect.
It took him a while before coming to the last coffin which was located in the innermost part of that place. Unlike other coffins, this one was tightly closed with some traces of taboo energy that disabled his sense.
Something was wicked about it. He was more than sure of that when he felt his blood rushed through his veins faster and his heartbeat went wild. It was as if something in the coffin was pulling all the blood in his body.
A frown showed on Austin's face as he shook his head. The disabling energy inside the coffin was stopping him from sensing what was inside it.
Nevertheless, it was the only coffin which was closed this tight. It was more than obvious that whoever Sect Leader who was inside it didn't want anyone to open his coffin and investigate it.
What a counter-productive act since that only made Austin even more curious. There should be something special about it. All the other coffins there were not protected by the disabling energy. Thus, making this extra special.
Just that thought made Austin's curiosity fired up even more. He could no longer suppress it.
After some minutes of staring at it, he raised his hand and gave the coffin a mild tap. His vital energy spurted out from his palm and went straight to the source of the disabling force inside the coffin.
However, Austin couldn't match the power of this Sect Leader of the Veritable Demon Sect. He wasn't able to crack the coffin's disabling energy at all! This particular Sect Leader had been dead for God knew how long. Regardless of how strong this leader's power was, it was also evident that the disabling energy he cast on this cave had already declined.
In less than half an hour, Austin destroyed the disabling energy.
The light of the disabling energy dimmed, and the disabling energy on the coffin lost its effect. Austin took a deep breath and reached out to open the top cover.
There was a corroded skeleton inside it. Shock flooded Austin unintentionally upon giving the skeleton a stern once-over.
Almost all its bones were broken and crashed.
Damn! What happened?
Every Sect Leader of the Veritable Demon Sect who was there had a cultivation base beyond Austin's ability. Thus, he knew that this Sect Leader was no exception. Moreover, the Veritable Sect was known to specialize in body cultivation. Anyone who became the Sect Leader was for sure hundred folds physically stronger than any one of the same level who cultivated the vital energy. There were only really few attacks that could cause his whole body to break.
It was more than evident the Sect Leader before Austin fought with something very powerful. Nobody knew if this Sect Leader won or lost. One thing for sure though was that he was badly beaten and must have died because of his injuries.
What kind of being could break the bones of a Sect Leader of Veritable Demon Sect?
Lost in his thoughts, Austin's gaze was drawn to a dark bottle placed at the sternum of the skeleton.
It seemed that the Sect Leader had put his hand over his chest just before he died. The bottle was cast with disabling energy as if to protect what was inside it.
Terrible evil energy emerged from the bottle and Austin suddenly felt his body and mind getting painfully affected by it.
Click, click...
A cracking sound echoed from the bottle, denoting that Austin broke the enchantment that was once wrapping the coffin. Before he knew it, the bottle started shaking violently as if something was trying to rush out of it.
