Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

In fact, this feeling is not limited to the people of the Central Continent; even the cultivators of the Celestial Dao Sect in the Central Continent can sense it.

When Wang Xingzhi and Liu Zongyuan simultaneously looked up at the sky, they sensed the change.

”The full appearance of the array is gradually being revealed...”

Wang Xingzhi furrowed his brow and shook his head as he spoke. Despite their efforts to intercept, why does the other side’s progress keep accelerating?

”Unless Yama Hall has some backup plan.”

At the same time, when several rays of red light suddenly broke through the skies across the Central Continent, it seemed to accelerate this change even more.

Meanwhile, Quan Xiaotong in Sea Stone City received the news immediately. When looking into the locations where the red light emanated, they were all in uninhabited regions.

The only somewhat better location was within the mountains of the Southern Border, but there were no signs of sacrifice there. In fact, none of the places showed any signs of sacrifice, yet the array bases were still activated.

”What exactly is going on?”

The fear of the unknown is most terrifying. If sacrifices were necessary to activate the array bases, they could hope to stop the sacrifices to prevent further downfall of the Central Continent.

But if the array bases can be activated without sacrifices, how can they struggle?

”It’s still the power of sacrifice.”

As Su Xiaoxiao and her group entered the Central Continent, they witnessed one of these events.

”The White Tiger, the Qilin, and several other ancient creatures favored by the world are likely involved.”

Just from a single red light, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to see through its essence.

Except for Wushang Daoist, the three of them looked at her with admiration.

”Because I happen to know they’ve executed these creatures.”

...

”You mean the array bases had already been imbued with sacrificial power?”

Han Yu was also at one of these locations, or rather, he was currently digging on a mountain south of the Eastern Territory.

The soil surged incessantly until a staircase appeared, leading down to a damned passage.

There was no need to enter; Chasing Soul could already provide the answer.

This was one of the points where the red light was triggered, and being such a barren place, it couldn’t have been a temporary sacrifice.

Han Yu, defiant to believe otherwise, entered and soon reached the heart of the underground palace—the altar!

The plaza was lined with stone pillars extending countless iron chains, intertwining within a massive skeleton.

With giant wings on its back, its skull was narrow and long, resembling a bird but not quite.

”This might also be an Auspicious Beast.”

Chasing Soul, looking at the skeleton, had his thoughts confirmed.

The Split Soul, being responsible for the slaughter back then, knew of several array bases and also learned something more.

Yama Hall executed Auspicious Beasts of the world.

Combining this knowledge, Chasing Soul easily deduced it was a long-planned array base. The sacrifice had already been completed, and what was sacrificed was obvious.

”Wait, this scene seems familiar.”

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Artifact Spirit suddenly had a spark of inspiration and exclaimed.

This scene was similar to the place where the White Tiger was executed in the past, located within the mountains of the Southern Border, which also housed such an underground palace.

”So the White Tiger’s remains were also sacrificed back then?”

Han Yu was suddenly startled, realizing he had unknowingly stepped into such a damned array. Thinking about it now, he couldn’t help but feel some creeping dread.

”Array bases that were sacrificed in advance should be different; otherwise, you would have died at the time.”

The Artifact Spirit shook its head, sharing its speculation.

As a matter of fact, it wondered whether the Female Qilin within Lin Fei was also a survivor like the little White Tiger.

”It’s possible!”

Han Yu agreed because, given Lin Fei’s arrogant demeanor, she didn’t seem worthy of being an attractive host.

”Originally, Yama Hall even thought of executing the Five Elements Spirits.”

Chasing Soul searched the memories of the Split Soul, recalling how it once wanted to capture the Fire Element Spirit Body and the Wood Elemental Spirit Body.

Firstly, Yama Hall needed to continue researching innate Divine Techniques, and secondly, they wanted to use such executions as array bases.

”Unfortunately, these Spirit Bodies can’t be killed. Once dispersed, they scatter into the world, and the main body becomes useless, recondensing in another place after many years.”

It’s probably this characteristic of the Five Elements Spirits that saved them from becoming sacrificial offerings for the array bases.

”Is there any use in destroying this place now?”

Han Yu was tempted to destroy it, but Chasing Soul shook its head.

The activation of the array base was for the opening of the grand array; now that the sacrificial power has been given, this array base is already dispensable.

Simply put, whether they destroy it or not, nothing would change now.

...

”You can’t change anything.”

Lei Wang, wielding the Soul Slaying Whip, appeared with great difficulty in front of Su Xiaoxiao and her group, nearly breaking his teeth from clenching them.

The bastard, he had chased them with immense effort only to find these bastards looked so relaxed.

At the same time, Granny Bridge’s stone bridge spanned across the void, and the four of them also attacked at the same time.

”Truly haunting.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the five of them, feeling a bit helpless.

They hadn’t been in the Central Continent for long, yet they hadn’t expected the other side to catch up so quickly.

”You’ve sacrificed so many Auspicious Beasts; aren’t you afraid of provoking the Heavenly Dao?”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t rush to act but instead pointed to the sky with a solemn expression.

This wasn’t hard to guess; Auspicious Beasts are born from the world’s favor, and sacrificing them in abundance would have significant consequences.

Lei Wang sneered relentlessly, ”What if we provoke it?”

”True, you dare to utilize Tribulation Thunder; what wouldn’t you dare do?”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head with a snort.

The two sides had nothing to say, and action followed in an instant.

Lei Wang transformed himself into a Thunder Pool, wielding the Soul Slaying Whip, moving through the void with lightning speed.

Granny Bridge and the others waited for Lei Wang to act before making their move.

Su Xiaoxiao, exerting her full strength, a galaxy hung high above her, as stars suddenly appeared, meteors showered down in response to the Thunder Pool, while she clutched a star, ready to strike Lei Wang.

This place, unlike the Endless Sea Domain, the damage caused by their confrontation was even greater than on the sea.

The earth trembled and cracked, lofty mountains leveled to the ground in moments.

Meanwhile, Granny Bridge and the others also took action. The four exchanged glances, then a barrage of knife mountains and oil cauldrons poured onto the opposing side.

The few of them habitually pulled Wushang Daoist to take the hit, but Bian Zhuang and the others unexpectedly spoke to Granny Bridge.

”Do it!”

Granny Bridge acted on cue, but instead of attacking, a stone bridge suddenly pierced through the void, one end extended somewhere unknown, while the other directly reached Wushang Daoist’s feet.

A bizarre scene unfolded as Wushang Daoist’s figure vanished along the stone bridge, his destination unknown.

This left the three from the Celestial Dao Sect clueless.

Cheating?

This was their first thought.

This is bad!

That was their second thought.

In contrast, Granny Bridge and the others were filled with satisfaction.

In the past few days, they’d had enough of that immovable guy, and with him present, they were at a loss against their foes.

This move was a spur-of-the-moment idea, hoping to rid themselves of the nuisance.

Unexpectedly, it worked so easily, with the fool standing still, allowing Granny Bridge to send him away. Had they known, they would have used this long ago.

Now, as the four looked at the three opponents, their pent-up frustrations exploded in an instant.

At this moment, the mountain of knives grew larger, countless blades scattering down relentlessly.

The oil cauldron chased the three, threatening to engulf them...
