With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

Lin Yan and his group descended into the narrow, rusty ventilation shaft. The deeper they went, the stronger the pungent, bloody smell in the air became. Twisted, writhing crimson runes crawled along both sides of the passage, like a ferocious blood beast ready to devour its prey.

Through the faint, eerie light, countless broken bones could be vaguely seen piled up on the ground, exuding a murderous aura. This scene caused everyone who saw it to frown and feel a surge of killing intent.

"A bunch of beasts! They all deserve to die!"

"Don't worry, it will be achieved soon."

Before long, Lin Yan's vision suddenly opened up, and a wide stone cave deep underground suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes. In the very center of the place stood a pitch-black altar, surrounded by a pool of boiling blood, with dark red mist swirling around it.

Dozens of Blood Cult members stood on either side of the altar, each with bloodshot eyes, surrounded by eerie aura, and gripping bloodstained bone blades, staring intently at the group of people at the shaft exit.

Clearly, this place had long been occupied by the Blood Sacrifice Cult, which had carried out unprecedented modifications, digging blood pools, building altars, and hiding its followers.

The ten Venerables, clad in heavy black robes and possessing stable auras at the third rank, stood on either side of the blood pool. Upon seeing Lin Yan and his group of prodigies enter, they threw their heads back and let out maniacal laughter, which echoed through the underground space, causing rubble to fall in a flurry.

It's hard to imagine that they have produced so many third-tier Venerables in such a short period of time!

"We've been waiting for you for a long time!" The voice of the Venerable at the forefront was hoarse and grating. "The battle in the East District took too many lives. We thought we'd have to wait a few more days to exact our revenge, but you've delivered yourselves right to our doorstep. Perfect, we can all be sacrificed to Lord Blood Soul Clan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surging blood mist in the center of the blood pool suddenly parted to both sides, and a tall and imposing blood-red figure slowly stepped out. It was none other than the Blood Soul Clan being, Xue Luo, who revealed his form.

His entire body was covered with layers of dark red bone armor, which was engraved with strange runes from beyond the realm. His eyes had no whites, only a murky scarlet color. In his palm, he held a fist-sized bead that was constantly absorbing the blood energy from the blood pool.

Xue Luo's icy gaze swept over Lin Yan and his group without the slightest ripple, as if he were looking at a group of livestock waiting to be slaughtered. His chilling voice resounded throughout the entire area: "You lowly human ants, relying only on this broken world to eke out a living, dare to trespass into my altar? Today, I will offer your blood and essence as a sacrifice to break through the suppression of the rules, open the star passage, and summon my race's army to descend upon Blue Star."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised the Blood Sacrifice Bead high above his head, instantly unleashing an extremely dazzling crimson light. An endless torrent of crimson light poured out from the bead, sweeping across the entire underground space.

"Sacrificing flesh and blood, burning the very essence of life, infusing the body with blood power, breaking through to a higher realm!"

With a deafening roar, the blood pools around the altar dried up at a visible speed, turning into billowing, eerie blood energy. Under the guidance of the Ten Thousand Sacrifice Blood Pearl, a massive amount of heaven and earth energy was poured into the bodies of these dozens of Blood Sacrifice followers.

hum!

Instantly, their blood and qi surged wildly, their bones crackled and popped, and their cultivation levels, which were originally at the second and third tiers, rose steadily. The barriers between their tiers shattered like thin paper, and turbid blood mist swirled around their bodies, forcibly elevating their cultivation to the third and fourth tiers.

In an instant, terrifying pressure swept across, the stone wall cracked inch by inch, and rocks kept falling from the top of the sky. The second-tier geniuses in the group felt their blood surge and their chests ache, and they almost collapsed to the ground.

Just as Elder Li said, the Ten Thousand Sacrifice Blood Bead is the biggest variable. The enemies they will face are no longer ordinary second- or third-tier enemies, but a group of third-tier and ten fourth-tier enemies, as well as at least fifth-tier peak Blood Luo!

"Elder Li, something's not right. Judging from this, it seems the Blood Sacrifice Cult already knew about our specific actions!"

Secretly, one of the fourth-tier experts transmitted a message to Li Cang, his tone grave, indicating that this battle was likely to be difficult.

"We'll investigate everything thoroughly from top to bottom once we get back."

"Next, I'll try my best to deal with these fourth-tier beings first, and then immediately pull that alien away from this battlefield. The rest is up to you."

Before the words were finished, a massive azure hand suddenly pierced through the void, tearing apart the blood-red light, and slammed down on the ten forcibly elevated fourth-tier cultivators. These cultivators, also at the peak of the fifth tier, unleashed their full power, their palms resembling enormous mountain seals, pressing down heavily.

In a mere instant, six of the fourth-tier beings were crushed into dust, vanishing into nothingness in a gust of wind.

"How dare you! Kill them!"

Xue Luo's expression turned cold, and all the runes on his bone armor lit up with a scarlet light. He raised his hand and stirred up a boundless sea of ​​blood, which immediately collided fiercely with the giant mountain seal, intercepting it in time.

A deafening roar erupted, causing the entire underground space to shake violently. Countless fine cracks spread through the void as the two top experts engaged in a deadly battle from afar. The aftershocks caused the surrounding altar walls to continuously collapse, with rubble and viscous blood pool liquid splashing everywhere.

Seeing this, Li Cang knew he could no longer target the fourth-tier Blood Sacrifice Cult members. He soared into the sky, pressing all his aura onto Xue Luo, forcing him to take to the air as well. In the blink of an eye, he reached the ground.

Just as they were moving away from the battlefield, the two fourth-tier martial arts club members also made their moves simultaneously. Each of them fought two opponents at once, completely overwhelming the remaining fourth-tier martial arts club members. Their attacks were all deadly, and they dared not delay, wanting to eliminate one enemy in the shortest possible time.

On the other side, the young prodigies led by Lin Yan and Xiao Qingxuan also faced the group of third-tier geniuses head-on. Apart from a few who had already stepped into the third tier, the other geniuses who were still in the second tier formed formations and marched forward.

Fortunately, these Blood Sacrifice followers had exhausted their potential and forcibly raised their cultivation levels, resulting in unstable realms and combat power that was inferior to normal third-tier cultivators, and only slightly stronger than second-tier cultivators. Therefore, no damage was caused for the time being.

"kill!"

Lin Yan took a step forward, and endless life essence surged in the sea of ​​suffering. Above his head floated the Myriad Dao Stele, and the imperial characters engraved on the stele shone brightly. A single character "Dao" hovered in the air, as if it had spontaneously generated a celestial realm, where various rules and orders were intertwined.

At the same time, he once again unleashed the Devouring Heaven Array Pattern. The Great Dao Treasure Bottle hung in the sky, and streams of violent and heavy Devouring Heaven Power descended, spreading out like water. Wherever it passed, all the strange blood energy was devoured and transformed into pure and gentle life essence, which continuously flowed into Lin Yan's body.

While consuming and replenishing his resources, he even had time to keep an eye on the situation of others and lend a helping hand in a timely manner. In reality, it was all just to "steal monsters" and accumulate primordial runes.
