A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5111

The entrance of the cave was veiled by numerous layers of restriction, and on any given day, only Radmus was able to enter.

The celestial energy was so rich within Abyss Cave that it was almost palpable. Countless Luminous Pearls embedded in the cave walls bathed the entire space in a light as bright as day.

Radmus waved his hand to lift the restriction at the cave entrance, cautiously placing the two coffins at the center of the jade platform inside the cave.

The runes etched on the surface of the coffins flickered under the pearl-like glow, radiating an eerie chill. It was as if they were pulsating with a life of their own.

“Magical items from the ancient ruins...”

Radmus rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with avarice. “That foolish Jared doesn't know the value of what he has. He'd trade such a precious treasure for his life. Unbelievable!”

He had once heard that ancient ruins often contained sacred items of incredible power or immortal pills, typically buried alongside their owners. Given the peculiar nature of these two coffins, he was certain they must be concealing some earth-shattering treasures.

He took a deep breath, channeling all his life's cultivation, and placed his palms on the lid of one of the coffins, intricately carved with a mysterious phoenix pattern.

“Open!”

A surge of energy flowed into the coffin like a tidal wave, triggering the runes to suddenly burst into a blinding red light. The coffin lid creaked and slowly slid open to one side.

A wave of overpowering, nauseating stench of blood instantly filled the air, mingled with the odors of decay and resentment, causing Radmus to instinctively take a half step back.

He forced himself to ignore the discomfort, leaning in for a closer look. Instead of a trove of gold, silver, and jewels, the coffin contained a woman's body, garbed in a tattered phoenix robe.

The woman's corpse had a ghastly, bluish-black complexion. Her long hair was tangled and snaky, while her nails were dark and sharp. Despite being dead for an unknown time, her eyes were still wide open, filled with resentment and bitterness.

What was even more eerie, her body hadn't fully decomposed. It was as if something was squirming beneath her skin, with wisps of black energy seeping out from her pores.

“Is... Is this a blood corpse?”
