Chu Jun and Shen Xiaobao continued to slowly fly towards the depths of the Dark World. Their divine senses were constantly paying attention to the movements in the surroundings. There were all sorts of strange and evil creatures hiding in the mountains and ravines. Some of them seemed to possess extremely powerful auras. However, if they did not come to cause trouble, Chu Jun and Shen Xiaobao naturally would not provoke them on their own initiative.

As they went deeper, the surroundings became darker and darker. The evil aura became denser and denser, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Shen Xiaobao frowned and said, "What the hell is this place? It's not human at all. It doesn't even have spiritual energy. It's weird to have heavenly materials and earth treasures. This time, it's a waste."

Chu Jun raised his index finger to his lips, signaling for Shen Xiaobao to shut up. Seeing Chu Jun's solemn expression, Shen Xiaobao hurriedly shut his mouth and increased his vigilance. Chu Jun turned around and flew in another direction.

Very quickly, a huge monster appeared in front of the two of them. It was just a corpse. It had been dead for a long time, and parts of the place had already started to rot, emitting an unpleasant stench of decay.

Chu Jun and Shen Xiaobao were hovering above the corpse of the monster. They looked at each other in surprise, because this huge fellow was nearly twenty meters tall, and its stomach was very large. Its limbs were short and sturdy like pillars. From the looks of it, it was obvious that it was the same species as the scarlet skeleton outside. What surprised Chu Jun and the other two the most was that this enormous monster was sliced into two halves from the middle. Furthermore, there were no other injuries to the monster's body. That was to say, in just one move, this big monster was completely instantly killed.

Although this monster was dead, it could still be seen from its strong evil aura that it was extremely powerful. It was much stronger than that silkworm monster. Shen Xiaobao couldn't kill it instantly even if he asked himself.

Shen Xiaobao stared at the flat wound and said with a serious expression, "Amazing!"

However, Chu Jun frowned. This wound was straightforward and neat. It did not look like a beast's style, but rather more like a human's. This monster should have died less than two days ago, right? Could it be that someone had entered before?

"Is there anyone else here?" Shen Xiaobao asked doubtfully.

Chu Jun shook his head and said indifferently, "Perhaps he is not a human!"

Shen Xiaobao curled his lips and said, "Impossible. If it was done by other monsters, it wouldn't be so straightforward and beautiful. This wound is more like a sword cut. Perhaps someone has already entered before us. Damn it, it's dead. Even if there is any treasure, it will be taken first!"

The two continued to fly forward. Along the way, they encountered a lot of corpses. All of them were killed instantly with a single move. Moreover, the wounds still smelled of burning. This time, Shen Xiaobao was even more certain that someone had won first. Moreover, this person was cultivating a fire type cultivation technique.

Chu Jun's expression became even more solemn. A skeleton bone holding a golden broadsword appeared in his mind, and a dazzling golden light flashed in the eye bone socket.

Chu Jun extended his divine sense far away and scanned it over and over again. If there were really divine puppets here, then it would be troublesome. If it was only one or two of them that he could handle, then he would only be able to run away.

Fortunately, after searching for a few times, he did not discover the divine puppet. Chu Jun heaved a sigh of relief and continued forward.

After flying for more than a hundred li, a beam of light shot up into the sky and entered their line of sight. The two of them simultaneously flew towards the direction of the beam of light.

A beam of brilliant light shot out from between the nine mountain peaks. It was extremely dazzling in this dim world, but at the same time, it looked extremely strange.

Chu Jun and Shen Xiaobao crossed the mountain peak and discovered that there was a flat ground between the nine mountain peaks. On the flat ground was a tall altar, and the pillars of light shot out from the altar.

The two carefully landed on the ground and walked towards the altar. As soon as they entered a hundred meters range, they immediately felt an incomparably dense evil aura enveloping them. With Shen Xiaobao's cultivation, they couldn't help but shiver. They hurriedly circulated their spiritual energy to resist before slowly calming down.

"What is it?" Shen Xiaobao asked in shock.

Chu Jun did not answer. He strode towards the altar and Shen Xiaobao followed curiously.

This altar was built with great momentum. The altar was probably ten meters high, and stone steps had been built in all directions. Moreover, there were nine fierce dragons carved on the edges of the altar. The dragon bodies coiled around each other, and the dragon head appeared at the edges of the altar, forming nine dragon-headed pillars with great momentum.

Chu Jun climbed up the stone steps. When the two of them reached the altar, Immediately, the evil aura became even more intense. In the middle of the altar, there was a large pattern made up of gold and silver semicircles. At first glance, it looked a little like the Taiji Yin Yang Fish pattern. However, the middle line was straight, and there was a small gap in the middle. The golden and silver pillars of light shot out from the gap.

Seeing this, Shen Xiaobao's eyes couldn't help but shine. If there was a treasure, then it must be here. He quickly walked to the center of the altar. Before he could observe it carefully, his scalp felt numb. He couldn't help but look around with fear. The nine dragon heads around the altar were staring at him, as if they would come back to life and tear him apart in the next moment.

Shen Xiaobao let out a strange cry and hurriedly took a few steps back. The hairy feeling disappeared.

"Damn, what the hell, these nine dragons are weird!" Shen Xiaobao shouted solemnly.

Chu Jun said, "Naturally, there is something strange. Didn't you discover that these nine dragon carvings are actually an extremely powerful formation?"

Shen Xiaobao observed carefully and found that the nine peaks around the altar were exactly the same as the nine dragon heads on the altar. This was obviously not a coincidence, but someone had deliberately set them up like this.

"If this is a spell formation, then why haven't we activated the altar yet?" Shen Xiaobao asked doubtfully.

"This array isn't a killing array, it's just a trapping array … or a seal!"

"Seal? No way, is there really a powerful evil being sealed here?"

Chu Jun nodded and said, "This is possible!"

Shen Xiaobao couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "Then what the hell are you doing? Let's slap our butts and leave. Maybe we can release the evil creature and we won't be able to eat it!"

Chu Jun smiled and said, "What if there is a Nine Dragons Cauldron under the seal?"

Shen Xiaobao's eyes immediately lit up. He opened his eyes wide and said, "No way, Chu Jun, don't fool Yours Truly!"

Chu Jun shrugged his shoulders and said, "It could be a powerful evil creature, or it could be a Nine Dragons Cauldron!"

"Do you want to open it?" Shen Xiaobao asked.

"What do you think?"

Shen Xiaobao hesitated for a moment. In the end, he couldn't resist his curiosity. He gritted his teeth and said, "You can't come all the way back empty-handed … But how should I open this seal?"

Chu Jun took out a sword from his interspatial ring. This was a very ordinary black longsword, and he didn't know what material it was made of.

Back then, Ding Tiangang gave this sword to Chu Jun. At first, Chu Jun didn't think so when he said that he had accidentally obtained it from the underwater ruins. However, when he discovered that the sword wasn't afraid of the Demon Sealing Stone, he realized that the sword was extraordinary. Later, Lin Yueyi confiscated the Demon Sealing Stone and the sword. Only when she placed her primordial spirit on the Golden Lotus of Fortune did she return the Demon Sealing Stone and the sword to Chu Jun.

Chu Jun remembered that Ding Lei had said that this sword was a key, so he took it out. His instinct told him that if this sword was really a key, it must be used to open this seal.

When Shen Xiaobao saw Chu Jun take out a pitch black sword without any spiritual pressure fluctuations, he couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Are you going to forcefully break this seal?"

Chu Jun smiled mysteriously and walked to the middle of the altar with the black sword in his hand. He carefully stabbed into the gap where the golden and silver pillars of light shot out. It was neither big nor small, just right.

The black sword pierced into the gap and stabbed into the hilt of the sword. With a crisp cracking sound, it sounded as if it had triggered the sound of a machine. Chu Jun was delighted in his heart. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. He quickly stood up and took a few steps back.

The gap was blocked by the black sword, and the golden and silver pillars of light also disappeared. The eyes of the nine dragon heads around the altar shone brightly, as if they had suddenly come to life.

Shen Xiaobao opened his eyes wide and said, "Is it that simple?"

Chu Jun's expression changed drastically, because he felt the aura of the nine dragon heads rise rapidly. A terrifying killing intent soared into the sky, and it didn't seem like he was going to open the seal at all. His heart trembled as he secretly cried out for trouble and pulled Shen Xiaobao away from the altar at the fastest speed possible.

The two of them had just escaped from the altar when a barrier buzzed up around the altar. At the same time, nine ferocious dragon heads opened their mouths at the same time. Nine terrifying flames sprayed out, and the barrier instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Both Chu Jun and Shen Xiaobao were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. If they had retreated half a second earlier, they would probably have turned into barbecue meat by now. Even Chu Jun was not confident that he could withstand that terrifying flame.

The high temperature flames sprayed by the nine dragon heads lasted for two cups of tea before they ended. The barrier around the altar disappeared, The black sword stabbed into the sword hole soared into the sky and fell several hundred meters into the air. With a thud, it landed on the ground nearby. The originally pitch-black sword was burned crimson red. After falling to the ground, it sank directly into the soil. Because the temperature was too high, the stone and the sword immediately melted into lava.

Shen Xiaobao couldn't help but be speechless. He used the Water Ball Technique more than a dozen times before lowering the temperature of the sword. The air was filled with a layer of white water vapor.

Chu Jun picked up the incomparably hot black sword and said with a puzzled expression, "Impossible! Where exactly did something go wrong?"

Shen Xiaobao couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "What's impossible? I believe it was almost a roasted lamb just now!"

Chu Jun flew to the top of the altar. He frowned and observed carefully for a while. Suddenly, he saw that there seemed to be something missing from the mouths of the nine dragon heads. He couldn't help but think, "Could it be that other than this sword, there are other things that are needed?"
