Chapter 1270: The Divine Dark Dao Sect Experimentation Venue

An Lin was given a fright by this sudden development, and he retreated a couple of steps before raising his head to look up at the Sky Sealing Dark King.

The Sky Sealing Dark King’s entire body began to tremor, as if it had been awoken by An Lin’s kick to the knee.

Rumble…

The Sky Sealing Dark King statue turned slightly to face An Lin.

An Lin immediately extended a greeting.

“Hi there, I’m the new sect leader of the Divine Dark Dao Sect…”

Before he had a chance to finish his sentence, the Sky Sealing Dark King clapped its hands together, and a black, rhomboid crystal appeared in mid-air while exuding bursts of divine light.

An extremely mechanical voice sounded, “Congratulations on reaching the Dark King Palace. This is the core technique I used to rule over the Kingdom of the Nine States, the Sky Sealing Technique!

“I hope you can accept this inheritance and revitalize the Divine Dark Dao Sect to fulfill my wish of conquering the entire continent in my stead!”

After that, the Sky Sealing Dark King fell stationary again.

An Lin faltered for a moment. So this was just a low-level artificial-intelligent statue that was only capable of delivering a verbal message.

He positioned the black rhomboid crystal in the center of his palm.

“How do I use this?” An Lin muttered to himself as he held the crystal.

Divine Inspection Technique!

A string of information instantly appeared in his mind.

[The Sky Sealing Dark King’s Sky Sealing Technique inheritance crystal: A crystal manifested by the Sky Sealing Dark King’s power before his death. It contains a spell technique inheritance. The inheritance requires one to be at the Return to Void Stage, and one would only need to crush the crystal in order to accept it.]

An Lin: “…”

He had to reach the Return to Void Stage first?

F*ck off!

What a load of bullsh*t?! And to think that he had worked so hard to gather all those Dark Beads!

An Lin almost threw up a mouthful of blood from rage.

He kicked the Sky Sealing Dark King’s knee a few times, but there was no reaction.

An Lin was unwilling to give up. He aimed a few more vicious kicks at the knees of the Bitter Blood Dark King and the Infernal Earth Dark King, but they didn’t yield any reactions either.

During the ensuing period of time, he was like a curious husky, prodding and examining the bodies of the three Dark Monarchs to try and tease out a reaction.

In the end, the three Dark Monarch statues were reduced to piles of rubble, but he received nothing else.

“Sigh, so there’s only a Sky Sealing Technique here?” An Lin heaved a sigh of disappointment.

If the other Divine Dark Dao Sect cultivators were to hear this, they would probably go mad with rage.

What did he mean by “only” a Sky Sealing Technique?! This was a spell technique that was sought after by countless Divine Dark Dao Sect cultivators! In fact, this was a spell technique that even the two Dao Integration Stage Dark Monarchs yearned for!

An Lin left the Dark King Palace with an expression of disappointment.

Elder Xiang Ling hurriedly made her way toward An Lin with wide eyes. “Sect Leader An Lin, what did you see in the Dark King Palace?”

“I saw statues of the three Dark Monarchs,” An Lin replied.

“Statues of the three Dark Monarchs!” Xiang Ling’s cheeks were flushed from excitement.

She was a devout worshipper of the three ancient Dark Monarchs, and her heart rate accelerated upon hearing that there were statues of them within the palace.

“Ah… The three mighty Dark Monarchs must be very imposing and gallant, right?” Xiang Ling was panting slightly as she spoke in a mellow, seductive voice.

“That’s right, they were very imposing and gallant,” An Lin replied with a serious expression.

He was telling the truth. They “were” indeed very imposing and gallant. The only thing was that they were now piles of rubble…

“Then, when you were inside…” Xiang Ling stared at An Lin with a transfixed expression.

“I received an inheritance, but I can’t use it yet,” An Lin spoke with a calm and collected expression.

Xiang Ling shuddered, and her eyes were practically glowing. Her breathing accelerated further while the snowy-white peaks on her chest rose and fell drastically. “You really are the true leader of our Divine Dark Dao Sect! You are the future of the Divine Dark Dao Sect!”

Xiang Ling looked as if she wanted to jump on him and have his babies! An Lin was unable to bear her scorching gaze and immediately changed the subject. “Let’s continue with our tour of the sect.”

“Yes!” Xiang Ling nodded obediently as she led the way.

She had been completely won over by An Lin and no longer had any doubts about him.

“This is our battle simulation chamber

“This is where we rest.

“This is the mystic realm, the Infernal Blood Demon Cave…”

As they continued onward, An Lin became more and more familiar with the Divine Dark Dao Sect.

In the end, Xiang Ling led them to a large black gate.

“This is the most important place in our Divine Dark Dao Sect!” Xiang Ling spoke with an excited expression, and she licked her lips with yearning. Her action was almost involuntarily.

“I’ve saved the best for last. I’m sure you’ll like this place!”

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were both a little curious. What kind of place could be even more important than the Spring Sun Palace and the treasure vault?

The gate slowly opened.

Bloodcurdling cries instantly swept toward them.

They converged to form soundwaves that assaulted An Lin’s eardrums.

The odor of blood was so pungent here that it struck one with the urge to throw up everything in their stomach.

Xiang Ling took a deep breath with an intoxicated expression on her face. “This is our Divine Dark Dao Sect’s experimentation venue. Please follow me.”

As they continued onward, they were greeted by the sight of nude humans trapped in cages, all of whom possessed despairing, dead eyes that were completely devoid of any lives or emotions.

The experimentation venue was massive. There were more than a hundred thousand humans trapped within cages as well as thousands of sect disciples completing various tasks and duties.

A sect disciple opened one of the cages before pulling out a naked man from within like a dirty rag. “Hurry up! What are you stalling for?!”

He dragged the man out and materialized a ball of black energy on his hand before pressing it to the man’s head.

“Ahhh!” The man howled in agony, and his face quickly crumbled as his flesh and blood evaporated. Soon, he was reduced to a corpse that consisted of only a skeleton in a bag of skin.

The disciple threw the corpse into a massive black pit, which was too dark for anyone to see what was going on in there. However, there was an audible chewing sound coming from within, making one’s flesh crawl.

Another sect disciple pulled out a female cultivator and occasionally sliced into her skin, completely ignoring her ghastly wails of despair. The wounds on her body quickly rotted and melted away. He continued to slice one wound after another into her body while pondering to himself the entire time, as if he was evaluating his own ability.

The female cultivator was reduced to an unrecognizable mass of blood before falling dead to the ground.

A disdainful expression appeared on the disciple’s face, and he tossed the corpse into the dark pit to feed the creature inside.

Similar heinous acts were taking place with extreme regularity across this vast experimentation venue.

All of the humans in cages sobbed and wailed in pain and despair. Meanwhile, all of the demonic cultivators were either in deep thought, extremely pleased, or sadistically excited as they tormented their human subjects through all manners of inhuman techniques.

One corpse after another was thrown into the dark pit.

Blood flowed like a river as wails of despair erupted relentlessly in this cesspool of unspeakable terror. All of the disciples seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere here.

This place was hell on earth.
