Stone Pillar Forest.

At this moment, Ming He was holding a Spiritual Jade Tripod in his hands, walking step by step towards the central area of the Stone Pillar Forest.

As he gradually approached the center of the Stone Pillar Forest, the density of the Dark Demon Qi here was at least ten times higher than on the outskirts.

However, such dense Dark Demon Qi did not form the slightest interference with Ming He.

All the Dark Demon Qi surging towards him were instantly devoured upon touching the spirit light emitted from the Spiritual Jade Tripod, then transformed into pure Spiritual Energy absorbed by Ming He.

Ming He was beyond excited at this moment.

One must know, he was at the Ancestor Realm in cultivation. On normal days, despite a decade of diligent cultivation outside, his cultivation might not even see the slightest increase.

But now, within this Stone Pillar Forest, his cultivation had significantly increased in less than an hour.

If it continued at this rate, if he could devour all the demonic qi in the Stone Pillar Forest, he would undoubtedly break through to the Ancestor Realm Peak.

At that realm, who in the world could be his match?

Just thinking of this made Ming He unable to contain his excitement, and even his blood began to boil.

Yet, he paid no attention to the fact that even in such a dense Dark Demon Qi region, not a single Demon General appeared, nor had he seen even one Demon Weapon...

Soon, Ming He arrived at the central area of the Stone Pillar Forest.

Upon arriving here, he was stunned.

In the center of the Stone Pillar Forest was surprisingly a large open space.

In the center of the open space stood an altar-like structure.

At the top of the altar, there was a long sword, covered entirely in rust.

The sword tip and half of the sword body were embedded in the altar.

Only the hilt and a small part of the sword body were exposed.

The whole Stone Pillar Forest, all the demonic qi, was gushing out from the center of that altar.

Even from a hundred meters away, Ming He could clearly see the demonic qi gushing from the altar's top. It could hardly be called demonic qi anymore; it was practically a Demon Spring.

The density of the demonic qi there had practically liquefied, forming a fountain, continuously gushing from beneath the altar.

At this moment, Ming He felt his blood boiling, trembling with excitement.

He hadn't expected there to be such a dense source of demonic qi at the center of the Stone Pillar Forest.

To others, this place would surely be a death trap.

They would likely be demonized long before reaching this place.

But to him, possessing the Green Spirit Tripod, this place was simply the top cultivation haven in the world.

One day of cultivation here could probably equal ten years outside.

A strong urge uncontrollably emerged in Ming He's mind: Go forward.

Go forward!

Cultivate right here!

Just ten days or half a month, and he could be invincible in the world!

Driven by such urgent and fervent thoughts, Ming He couldn't wait and walked toward the altar.

But just when he came within less than ten meters of the altar, Ming He suddenly halted.

In his fervent mind, a sudden clarity emerged.

He suddenly realized that the rusty long sword on the altar's top had a faint scarlet glow flickering on its exposed blade.

Moreover, the sword hilt was trembling slightly.

This scene suddenly gave Ming He a bad premonition.

This bad premonition instantly extinguished more than half of the fervor in his mind.

As an Ancestor Realm expert, Ming He's experience and knowledge were top-tier in the Martial Arts World.

He immediately sensed something was wrong.

Without thinking, he attempted to withdraw.

However, at this moment, a ghastly voice echoed in his mind.

"Keep going forward!"

"Keep going forward, and you will get everything you desire."

"You can become the ruler of this world."

"You can dictate the entire world."

"Everyone will crawl beneath your feet..."

Hearing this voice, Ming He's backward step abruptly stopped, and then he continued toward the altar.

Yet, Ming He's heart seemed to be in madness.

He desperately tried to control his body, to make his steps halt.

But, this voice had a bizarre magic power, controlling his body to keep moving toward the altar.

No matter how he resisted, it was in vain.

At this moment, Ming He was utterly panicked.

Could it be that the Dark Demon Emperor sealed by the Blood Sky Sword God was still alive?

Ming He also knew about the Dark Demon Emperor.

However, before this, he hadn't been the least bit worried.

Because, in his view, the matter of the Dark Demon Emperor was something that happened in the Ancient Era thousands of years ago, and the true situation was still uncertain.

The current news circulated exaggerated the Dark Demon Emperor, which Ming He found unbelievable.

After all, people nowadays favored the ancient over the present.

Moreover, even if the Dark Demon Emperor truly existed, after thousands of years of sealing, he would have already turned to dust, regardless of being an Ancestor Realm expert, how could he still be alive.

Besides, he wasn't coveting the Secret Treasure left by the Blood Sky Sword God.

He merely wanted to devour some Dark Demon Qi to enhance his cultivation.

From any angle, he wouldn't be in any danger.

It was this mindset that drove him to step by step come here.

But now, as soon as that ghostly voice echoed in his mind, he realized something was wrong.

The Dark Demon Emperor might really be alive!

And, sealed beneath this altar.

At this time, he desperately wanted to leave, but abruptly found that at the moment that voice sounded, he had completely lost control over his body.

In a flash, he was controlled by that ghostly voice, reaching the edge of the altar.

"No!"

"Don't step on the altar!"

Ming He screamed madly in his heart.

He knew if he didn't stop, he would surely die.

Ming He was also a ruthless character.

In life and death moments, a madness flashed through his eyes.

Self-destruct!

He was an Ancestor Realm expert, self-destructing his body could let his Primordial Spirit escape, but if he continued to be controlled by this voice, he would be completely annihilated.

Thinking of this, Ming He immediately activated his cultivation technique, and the next moment, his physical body began to inflate rapidly...
