Chapter 1526 - 635: Blood Sacrifice Begins, Fragmented Soul of the True Monarch

Chapter 1526: Chapter 635: Blood Sacrifice Begins, Fragmented Soul of the True Monarch

The face of the elder in the purple robe showed a sickly flush as he murmured to himself.

Even those from the "Profound Ice Hall" instinctively shifted their steps upon seeing him, moving slightly away from this madman.

The elder in the purple robe held a Blood Blade, walking on the altar like a ghoul seeking souls.

Each time he passed a bound cultivator, he mercilessly slit their chest open, collecting the essence blood from their heart.

"Ah!"

A young female cultivator screamed in agony, her chest quickly soaked with blood.

The elder, however, turned a deaf ear, focusing solely on the Jade Bowl taking the blood.

When a hint of green light appeared in the bowl, his eyes filled with ecstasy: "Another Wood Spirit Body!"

Li Yunjing’s fist, hidden in the grass, clenched tightly, making a cracking sound.

These captives were elite young cultivators from various sects, now reduced to livestock awaiting slaughter.

"This old bastard is truly ruthless!"

Li Yunjing lowered his voice, "As soon as the secret realm’s passage opens, I’ll be the first to slay this old thing!"

"The enemy has over twenty Golden Core Cultivators, and that half-step Nascent Soul monster!"

Zhao Qi nervously pulled at him: "There might even be Nascent Soul Realm Masters who haven’t shown themselves yet! Can you do it?"

"I have a plan!"

Li Yunjing sneered, "Our sect’s Five Elements Master rewarded me with a lifesaving treasure, comparable to three strikes from a Great Perfection Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm! We’ll see who can withstand it!"

He understood that under normal circumstances, the bigwigs of the "Profound Ice Hall" would be too proud to intervene.

Otherwise, it would be disgraceful!

Who among the righteous Sect Leader Venerables uses blood sacrifices?

Hypocrites through and through! That’s the way of the "Profound Ice Hall."

Li Yunjing knew these pretenders too well.

Since the bigwigs of "Profound Ice Hall" are feigning ignorance, it makes things easier.

With his combat power and his ace, he was confident he could kill everyone here associated with the "Profound Ice Hall."

"But there are so many of them. If they’re not killed and the news gets out, reinforcements from the ’Profound Ice Hall’ will come."

Su Muqing warned, her face pale.

"That’s why I’ll give you all enough Talismans later!"

Li Yunjing’s eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, "When the time comes, everyone here will be eradicated, leaving no one alive!"

As he spoke, Li Yunjing took out over a hundred "Five Elements Divine Thunder Talismans" from his Storage Ring, placing them in Zhao Qi and Su Muqing’s hands.

The two women looked at these Talismans emitting a dangerous aura, feeling reassured.

The three shared a glance, gripping the Talismans, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

After a long time, ninety-seven geniuses lost too much blood and were locked aside by the "Profound Ice Hall" people for careful keeping.

These people still had uses.

Whether for possession or refining into puppets, they were top-grade materials.

The "Profound Ice Hall" had no intentions of killing them to silence them.

Imprisoned deep in the "Profound Ice Hall," the Outer World would never know the truth.

Even later, if blood for the ritual ran short, they could continue extracting from these individuals until the secret realm inside the "Jade Water Cold Pool" was opened.

The elder in the purple robe stood at the center of the blood-stained altar, weaving spells with both hands and reciting ancient and obscure incantations.

The altar’s patterns under his feet gradually brightened with a scarlet glow, as the blood of over ninety prodigies flowed through the grooves, outlining a bizarre totem on the altar.

"Using blood as the lead, sacrificing the soul!"

The elder suddenly raised both arms, his voice turning hoarse and terrifying, "Gate of Dark Yin, open!"

The blood on the altar suddenly boiled, emitting wisps of black smoke.

Li Yunjing fixed his gaze on this scene, the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Talismans" in his hands ready to strike.

With over a hundred "Five Elements Divine Thunder Talismans," it was enough to blast the entire lake surface away.

He was already prepared to strike down "Profound Ice Hall" members mercilessly.

Li Yunjing could sense the "Profound Ice Soul" beneath the altar crazily absorbing the blood aura, as a blood-red pattern began to appear within the blue crystal stone.

"Still not enough!"

Suddenly, the elder in the purple robe shouted and took out a small black banner from his sleeve.

On the banner were embroidered nine grotesque ghost heads, which, as the elder shook it, released nine streams of black gas that drilled directly into the skulls of nine genius cultivators!

"Ah..."

The nine immediately rolled their eyes white, their bodies convulsing violently.

In just three breaths, their souls were forcibly extracted and transformed into nine nebulous mists swallowed by the black banner.

"Nine Netherworld Soul Guide, Dark Yin Emerges!"

The elder placed the black banner into the altar’s center, causing the altar to shake violently.

The "Profound Ice Soul" finally turned completely blood-red, emitting a crisp "crack," with countless fine lines spreading across its surface.

"Now is the time!"

Li Yunjing shouted, and the three acted simultaneously!

Over a hundred "Five Elements Divine Thunder Talismans" transformed into streams of light, shooting towards the disciples of the "Profound Ice Hall" around the altar.

"Boom!"

In a series of earth-shaking quakes, the Golden Core Realm elders and disciples hadn’t yet reacted when they were struck by the sudden thunderbolts, turning them into ashes!

"Who goes there?!"

The elder in the purple robe was both shocked and enraged, prepared to unleash his magical treasure when he saw a brilliant Sword Light already descending upon him!

"Old Vulture, meet your end!"

Li Yunjing’s "Boundary-Breaking Sword," carrying the force of tearing the void, forced the elder back three steps!

In haste, the elder summoned an Ice Crystal Shield, but it was promptly scarred with cracks by the Sword Light.

His expression changed dramatically: "Golden Core Realm Fourth Heaven? No, this power... it’s comparable to a half-step Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator!"

Li Yunjing gave him no time to think, as his Sword Momentum shifted, nine Sword Lights surged like flood dragons, encircling the elder completely.
