The headless corpse continued to travel a short distance before collapsing to the ground with a plop. In the end, it turned into a pile of white ash in the flames.
Only then did Liu Ming wave his hand at the pile of white ash.
With a swish, a black metal tablet flew out and landed firmly in his hand.
He only glanced at the metal tablet in his hand a few times before flying back with a movement.
"Fellow, this Iron Plate corpse is …" The black-clothed man beside Liu Ming tried to explain with a stutter as soon as his feet landed on the ground.
However, Liu Ming waved his hand and directly cut him off. He tossed the metal tablet in his hand at him and asked emotionlessly,
"Is this the artifact you're talking about? If it is, then open the seal immediately. I don't want to listen to any more nonsense right now. "
"Yes, this is the item necessary to open the seal. I'll open the seal as soon as I get off the horse." Although Liu Ming did not mention the Iron Plate corpse in the coffin at all, it still made the fat black-clothed man shiver inside. As soon as he received the metal tablet and glanced at it, he answered in a hurry.
Afterwards, he immediately walked to the centre of the cavern and raised the metal tablet high up in the air. He opened his mouth and spat out a clump of essence blood, then began to chant.
The incantation was cryptic and difficult to understand, but it was filled with an indescribable rhythm.
With a pu, the ordinary-looking metal tablet suddenly shone with white light, becoming brighter and brighter. In the end, with a tremble, it broke free from the fat black-clothed man's single hand and shot into the air above the cavern.
With a flash of white light, the metal tablet directly disappeared into the ceiling of the cavern.
In the next moment, countless white inscriptions of light appeared above the cavern. They shot downwards like raindrops, all disappearing into the ground.
Afterwards, there was a muffled rumble from the ground. The entire cavern began to tremble slightly, and another huge, five-colored inscription formation emerged from the ground. With a spin, an extremely terrifying aura of restriction swept out.
At the same time, the ground at the center of the formation suddenly shattered inch by inch, and a large black hole appeared out of thin air. Faint ghostly howls could be heard coming from within.
"This is the entrance to the Aura Pit?" Liu Ming looked at the black hole and a trace of passion flashed across his eyes.
"There should be no mistake." The fat man in black looked at the big hole and said with a trace of excitement on his face.
"If that's the case, you can leave." Liu Ming glanced at the fat man in black and said.
"Fellow Daoist wants me to go down first?" When the fat man in black heard this, his face slightly stiffened.
"What? Do you want me to go down first? But don't worry, I'll let them accompany you down first. "Liu Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Alright, I'll go first then." Fatty seemed to know that he had no chance of objecting, so he squeezed out a smile and replied.
Following this, he carefully approached the black hole on the ground and looked inside. Only then did he bite the bullet and jump in. The Flying Head and the Bone Scorpion naturally followed closely behind.
After a short while, Liu Ming didn't feel anything wrong from the Bone Scorpion and the Flying Head. Only then did he also fly into the black hole in a flash.
The black hole wasn't too deep. Liu Ming felt that he only needed to take a few breaths before he arrived at another cavern with a bright light in front of him.
But other than the small area controlled by the formation where he landed, the other areas were astonishingly filled with thick black Qi, making it impossible for people to clearly see what the cavern looked like.
The fat man in black and the Flying Head and the Bone Scorpion were obediently staying at the center of the formation.
"This doesn't seem to be Pure Aura Qi!" Liu Ming's gaze swept across the thick black Qi outside the formation and his eyebrows furrowed as he spoke.
"I also know that this definitely isn't. But I think that the Aura Pit should be somewhere nearby. Why don't we look around! "The fat man in black looked at the surrounding black Qi and replied with some hesitation.
"Look around? Alright, you can leave this place and see what the black Qi outside is. "Hearing this, Liu Ming gave a cold laugh as he replied.
"Fellow must be joking! Since there is a restriction set up here to block the black Qi, it must be something not to be contaminated. "Hearing this, the fat man in black's face couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed expression.
But at this moment, the originally still black Qi in the surroundings suddenly surged and began to quickly gather in one direction.
In a short while, the black Qi that had originally filled the entire cavern had completely shrunk and gathered in a deep pit with a diameter of seventy to eighty feet not far away from them, forming a huge black ball of Qi.
Within the black ball of Qi, a dazzling golden chair was shockingly floating. There was actually a person sitting on it, who was currently slowly raising his head and looking in Liu Ming's direction.
His gaze was like lightning!
It was a thin and weak looking youth wearing a yellow robe, with a silver long sword hanging from his waist. His face was ordinary, but his facial features were very delicate. Between his eyebrows, there was actually a forty to fifty percent resemblance to the fat man in black.
And that black ball of Qi only spun for a few breaths before completely disappearing into the youth's body.
Witnessing such a strange scene, Liu Ming couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
But before he could react, the fat black clothed man who had been obedient all this while suddenly leaped out from his side without any warning and ran wildly towards the large pit. At the same time, he shouted, "Crown Prince, save me! I'm your descendant! I'm the one who opened the seal! I'm here to let you out!"
Although his body looked fat, his movements were incomparably fast. After a few leaps, he had impressively run only a few feet away from the large pit.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's face darkened.
The Flying Head that remained at the side let out a strange laugh and suddenly shook its head.
The strand of long hair that was still tightly attached to the body of the fat man in black suddenly jumped up.
With a "pu" sound, the fat man in black's heart that was locked by the long hair was immediately crushed, causing him to let out a miserable cry and spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
But other than stumbling for a moment, he unexpectedly recovered and continued to jump as if he was flying.
This situation caused Liu Ming to be unable to help but be dumbfounded.
"Haha, kid, you guys didn't expect this right? I actually have two hearts at the same time. The profoundness of the Beast Transformation Technique isn't something you can imagine. What you've sealed is only the heart of a Monster Beast, and it has long since swapped places with my own heart. And my main purpose for coming here this time isn't for the treasure of the previous dynasty, but to release the crown prince of the previous dynasty who has been here for a thousand years. " With another sway, the fat man in black jumped into the air near the golden chair. Then, he turned around and spoke to Liu Ming with a proud laugh.
Hearing up to this point, Liu Ming's expression became somewhat ugly.
But at this moment, the fat man in black suddenly let out a miserable cry. A seemingly thin and weak hand had actually pierced through the other side of his chest, and between the five fingers was a slightly beating bright red heart.
"How could this be, ancestor, you …" The fat man in black almost didn't dare to believe his own eyes, but after turning his head with difficulty, apart from the thin and weak youth, there was no one else behind him.
The one who had pierced through his heart was also the youth sitting on the golden chair.
"Do you know, you've done two things wrong." The youth's mouth twitched, revealing an extremely strange smile.
"You …" The fat man in black's eyes were wide open, and he felt the strength in his body quickly draining away. He only managed to say one word before he was unable to say anything else.
The thin and weak youth calmly continued to speak:
"First of all, you shouldn't have been so close to me. Do you know, how many years has it been since this body has tasted fresh meat? In this kind of situation, standing so close to me, even if it was my own son, I would still slowly eat him bite by bite. Secondly, I am not the ancestor that you speak of. The original owner of this body, the so-called crown prince of the previous dynasty, had long ago committed suicide because he was too lonely a thousand years ago. I'm just the new owner of this body. Of course, I have also fused with some of the crown prince's memories. However, seeing that you've worked so hard to open the seal, I will let you die a quick death. Otherwise, if it was fresh meat, it would naturally be more delicious to taste it bit by bit. "
The moment the youth finished his last sentence, his five fingers suddenly clenched together, and crushed the heart. Following that, his arm suddenly pulled back, and in one move, he grabbed the fat man in black by the waist and placed him on his knees. Once again, he lowered his head and bit down on the man's neck, and began to crazily drink large mouthfuls of blood.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's expression changed several times. Suddenly, his body moved, and he soared into the air and flew towards the entrance.
"Peng!"
Just as he neared the entrance, a layer of black light suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was not able to defend against it in time.
"Don't waste your time. Unless I leave this place first, this place will automatically seal itself. Of course, with your strength, breaking this restriction won't take too much time, but I will still need to give you this much time. " The skinny youth finally removed his mouth from the corpse, and revealed two large fangs as he spoke to Liu Ming in an understated manner.
"You are a Fiend Corpse?" Liu Ming's face was as gloomy as water, but his gaze looked at the unfathomably deep pit below him, and he slowly spoke.
At the same time, he held the cyan short sword horizontally in front of him, and with a "ding dang" sound from his other sleeve, a silver chain flew out, and began to slowly revolve around his body.
The Flying Skull and the White Bone Scorpion also suddenly had their hair stand up, and their eyes flashed with a silver light. The other lowered its body, and the tail on its back began to shake unsteadily.
"Fiend Corpse! Hmm, this body should be considered one. Back then, my body was destroyed by a great enemy, and even my remnant soul was sealed together with this Fiend Pit. I originally thought that I would not be able to come out, but I never would have thought that there would actually be someone who would open this Fiend Pit again, and even obediently offer up a completely refined Fiend Corpse with both hands. Haha, looks like the heavens have not forsaken me! "Hearing this, the skinny youth suddenly laughed wildly.
