Chapter 1573: Abnormal Heartbeat
According to the directions of the young man in yellow, Su Mo proceeded in that direction. After about half a day, he finally arrived at the so-called Skeleton Heart Valley.
Flying in the sky, Su Mo saw that far away, a hollow basin had appeared in the land before him.
The basin was elliptical, with a radius of more than a hundred miles, and it was hundreds of feet deep in the ground. It looked like a valley surrounded by mountain.
There was a lot of fascinating light in the basin. Su Mo looked at it and saw that actually all of them were Sky Treasures that were like Black Demon Flowers.
In addition to Demon Flowers, there were many other types of treasures.
For example, there was a black spiritual fruit that was the size of an egg, a Red Ganoderma that was the size of a lotus and crystal clear grass.
Every kind of Genius Ground Treasure exuded a misty glow which fluctuated with amazing Ghost Force. With a glance, one could tell that it was an extraordinary item.
These Sky Treasures were grown in the basin and, at a glance, there were roughly five or six hundred of them.
What surprised Su Mo the most was that in the middle of the basin, there was a ten-foot-tall ancient tree with nine blood-colored fruits growing on it.
These nine blood-colored fruits were each the size of a fist. They were blood red in colour and were bright and colourful.
The shape of these nine fruits was akin to the structure of a heart.
“This is the Ancient Demon’s Heart?” Seeing this, Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat and his eyes lit up instantly.
However, doubts were raised in his mind. How could the Ancient Demon’s Heart grow on a tree? And how could there be so many of them?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Su Mo carefully scanned the entire basin. There were many disciples inside.
At a glance, there were about less than five hundred disciples from the other Super Forces. There was almost one-third of all the trial disciples present there.
Leng Xie and Yun You You were there. Bei Jing, of Level 5 Martial Honoured Realm in the Sun Moon Tribe, as well as more than half of the other masters who were of Level 4 Martial Honoured Realm, were present.
Sky Wolf, Yi Wei and the others who had previously left Demon Head Mountain were all there.
Among the other forces, the Level 4 Martial Honoured Realm Genius of the Black Flame Tribe, The Flame, Level 4 Martial Honoured Realm Genius Swordsman of the Imperial Sword Faction as well as the Level 4 Martial Honoured Realm Geniuses of the Shining Spiritual Tribe and Thundercloud Birds Tribe were all present.
It could be said to be a gathering of the elites in the basin.
At that moment, everyone was scattered at the edge of the basin, moving slowly towards the centre of it, as slowly as a turtle crawling.
“What is so mystical here?” Seeing this, Su Mo’s curiosity was piqued. These people were definitely not taking a stroll here. There was definitely something that was stopping them from obtaining the Sky Treasures.
As Su Mo was thinking, he finally arrived above the basin and just at that moment, a strange thing happened.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He felt his heart suddenly thumping violently, as if it were a gong and drum, wanting to shatter his chest and jump out of it.
In an instant, the intense heartbeat caused Su Mo’s face to turn red.
“What is happening?” Su Mo was shocked. He immediately stopped his body and tried his utmost best to suppress his heartbeat.
After a while, his heartbeat finally recovered a little. It was no longer as violent and Su Mo’s face returned to normal.
In the basin, many had seen Su Mo’s appearance and sneered silently. When they first arrived, the same thing had also happened to them.
Furthermore, there were some people who did not know what was going on and flew too quickly. Their hearts directly exploded, annihilating their bodies, and their Fighting Souls were killed.
However, considering Su Mo’s strength, the faces of many started to turn serious.
Su Mo’s arrival had undoubtedly resulted in the addition of another opponent for them.
“You’d better not provoke me again!” Leng Xie glanced at Su Mo, sneered and paid no further attention to him.
His goal was the Blood Heart Fruit. If anyone dared to stop him, they would be courting their own death.
Previously, he had let Su Mo off once. If Su Mo did not know how to be tactful later, Leng Xie would not mind killing him.
“Su Mo!”
Many Empty Sky Sect Disciples saw that Su Mo had come and their faces changed.
Su Mo’s Cultivation had broken through these few days. The situation of him slaying Li Hentian and a large number of Empty Sky Sect Disciples had already spread throughout the Ancient Demon Cemetery.
The remaining Empty Sky Sect Disciples were shocked and angry upon hearing the news.
However, their strength was limited and they were unable to deal with Su Mo. They could only wait until the end of the trial to report the matter to the Sect Elders.
Now that Su Mo was in Skeleton Heart Valley, the people of Empty Sky Sect could not help but worry. Was Su Mo going to kill them as well?
In the high sky, after Su Mo suppressed his intense heartbeat. His body slowly descended and landed at the edge of the basin.
This place was so strange. He did not dare to continue to fly over and could only descend to the valley to check out the mysterious place then.
Standing on the ground, Su Mo scanned his surroundings. There were all sorts of Sky Treasures in the valley that was located close to the centre of the valley. Everyone was scattered around and walking towards the Sky Treasures.
Everyone was walking very slowly, taking a step and then stopping for a while. For those who walked quickly, they could only take at most three steps before stopping.
Among them, Leng Xie and Bei Jing walked the fastest as they were located closer to the centre.
As for Yi Wei, Sky World, the Flame and the others of Level 4 Martial Honoured REalm, they were only slightly behind and were further away from the centre.
Yun You You was an exception as she was about the same distance away from the centre as Yi Wei and the others.
“Can you only proceed slowly?” Su Mo thought to himself. However, it was already late. Others like Leng Xie, Bei Jing had already covered more than half the distance and were less than fifty miles away from the fruit tree in the centre.
As for himself, he was now about a hundred miles away from the centre. It was going to be difficult to catch up!
However, this place could be related to the Ancient Demon’s Heart. He could not give up.
After a moment of silence, Su Mo tested by stretching out his palm, morphing out a Dark Force Plan that volleyed forward.
He was not trying to snatch the Spiritual Fruit in front of him, he only wanted to test if he did not have to go forward and if he could obtain the spiritual fruit from a distance.
Of course, he knew the possibility of doing so was very low, otherwise, these people would not be proceeding so slowly.
Sure enough, as he stretched out his Dark Force Palm, his heart suddenly thumped violently. The further his Dark Force Palm stretched out, the more violent the heartbeat.
Swoosh!
Without hesitation, Su Mo immediately retracted his Dark Force Palm.
It seemed that it was impossible to get Sky Treasures from the sky. With the violent thumping of his heart, he gauged that he would only be able to stretch his Dark Force Palm for another ten miles before his heart burst out of his chest.
“He he, Su Mo wants to snatch the treasure from the sky?”
“Ridiculous!”
“He is courting his own death!”
Seeing that Su Mo had stretched his hand out, many disciples of the other forces could not help but sneer. If it were so easy to obtain these treasures, would they still be walking slowly?
