215: Chapter 215 The Offering Site Opens

"Very good."

Xuan Yin's voice was not loud, yet it carried an air of majesty that sent a shock through the souls of Kumu and Xuan Ming, causing them to bow their heads and not dare to look up.

"What is the situation with those Cultivators?"

Xuan Ming quickly spoke up: "In response to the Sect Leader, that is correct! They are still unaware that our Sect's seven Realm Keys have been gathered. We only await the Sect Leader's secret technique to activate them, and then we can directly open the gates to the Minghai Realm!"

Kumu spoke raspily: "Sect Leader, even if they find out, it will be too late. While they are sluggishly cooperating to resist the void turbulence, we will have long since entered the Minghai Realm and taken the demon god inheritance!"

"At that time... in the entire Canggu Realm, no one will be able to stop the momentum of our Xuanyou Sect."

Xuan Yin smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Let's go. That entrance is about to open. The restrictions my father set won't be able to suppress it for much longer."

Three hundred years ago, Xuan Ye died in the struggle against those Sect Cultivators, but before his death, he left behind the Realm Keys for the Xuanyou Sect to target the Minghai Realm entrance. He even personally used his Divine Soul as a guide so that the entrance to the Minghai Realm could be tracked by his clansmen.

This was so the Xuanyou Sect could enter and leave the Minghai Realm without being shackled by those righteous Cultivators.

"Father, your painstaking efforts—your son will surely bring them to Perfection!"

Xuan Yin's figure was extremely fast as he reached the edge of the mountain. Before him was a sea, and above the estuary hovered a Void Realm rift shimmering with purple-black light.

The rift was bound by a series of strange black chains, such that the crack was only the size of a palm.

The refined two hands, two feet, torso, head, and Heart Soul Pill were placed according to a specific Formation. A Foundation Establishment Cultivator stood at each position.

Xuan Ming stood at the primary position of the Heart Soul Pill, waiting for the Sect Master to activate the Formation.

At this moment, Ye Jing, who had tracked them all the way here, saw this eerie scene.

Elder Kumu's raspy laughter drifted with the wind: "Sect Leader, the Formation is complete. With just one word from you, the Realm Keys will merge, and the Minghai Gate will swing wide open!"

Xuan Yin stood with his hands behind his back, his cold gaze sweeping over the Void Realm rift. His voice carried a fanaticism suppressed for a hundred years: "Father, today I shall use these seven Realm Keys as a guide and the thousands of living beings in the Canggu Realm as a sacrifice to open the Minghai Realm! Your dying wish will be fulfilled today!"

As his voice fell, Xuan Yin waved his hand, and a pitch-black incantation shot straight into the sky.

"Activate the Formation!"

Rumble—! Above the sea, a violent black Qi surged into the sky.

Seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators simultaneously performed hand seals. Blood gushed from their seven orifices, pouring entirely into the Realm Keys before them.

Those seven Demonic Weapons, refined from flesh and souls, instantly hummed. Bloody patterns wove into a net, frantically tearing at the black chains binding the Void Realm rift.

Crack— Crack— The chains were overwhelmed and snapped inch by inch.

The Void Realm rift, originally only palm-sized, expanded at a visible rate. A foul wind mixed with the eerie aura of the Minghai Realm swept in all directions. The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth instantly became chaotic, and the distant clouds were dyed a dark red.

Standing atop the Heart Soul Pill, Xuan Ming laughed wildly: "It's done! The gates to the Minghai Realm are finally opening!"

But in the next second, he suddenly felt a sharp pain throughout his body. To his horror, he felt his skin cracking open, blood seeping out as his skin split apart.

The intense pain immediately caused him to scream repeatedly.

Even the Foundation Establishment Cultivators around the Sacrificial Vessels were the same, letting out bursts of ear-piercing screams.

"This... Ah! Ahhh! What on earth is going on?!"

Xuan Ming never expected that becoming the formation eye meant sacrificing himself. He struggled to escape the formation eye, but his flesh was completely ensnared by the Heart Soul Pill, leaving him unable to move at all.

Ye Jing's eyes widened. Watching those screaming Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he couldn't help but be struck with horror.

This Sect Leader of the Xuanyou Sect was actually willing to sacrifice seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators to open the passage to the Minghai Realm!

As the Void Realm rift swung wide, Kumu, beside Xuan Yin, immediately shouted: "Go in peace!"

The seven Realm Keys shot a beam of bloody light into the rift. Xuan Yin immediately entered, followed by several of his Foundation Establishment confidants.

He paid no mind to his once-loyal subordinates being used as expendable materials.

Once the rift opened, the Cultivators stationed nearby naturally sensed the aura.

Yun Ling immediately called his Foundation Establishment Disciples to go with him.

Other Sects also scrambled to keep up, fearing that if they were a step slow, the Opportunity would be snatched by others.

Seeing that the leaders of the Xuanyou Sect had basically all left, Ye Jing no longer hid. He immediately leaped out. The guarding Xuanyou Sect Disciples didn't even know what was happening.

A massive Black Dog suddenly charged out from within, roaring with its mouth wide open, directly biting off the head of a Xuanyou Sect Disciple who tried to attack.

Dressed in coarse cloth robes, Ye Jing was unstoppable, his large saber cutting down everyone in his path.

Xuan Ming, whose flesh and blood were being continuously drained by the Formation, saw that the Cultivator who had suddenly broken in was actually Ye Jing.

He immediately gritted his teeth and roared: "Ye Jing!!"

This shout caused the Formation to fluctuate.

Ye Jing ignored him. Seeing that the gap in the entrance was getting smaller and smaller, he immediately used the thousand void ethereal map.

Under Xuan Ming's furious gaze, Ye Jing's figure vanished and instantly merged into the chaotic entrance.

Meanwhile, Xuan Ming, treated as expendable by his own Sect Leader, could only watch helplessly as this old man he hated to the extreme entered the portal so brazenly.

As his body vanished within the Formation, Xuan Ming was filled with resentment and rage, screaming repeatedly: "Ye Jing! Ye Jing!"

He screamed as his body was completely absorbed by the Sacrificial Vessel, leaving only two bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at where Ye Jing had disappeared.

Then, in an instant, he turned to ash and scattered.

The remaining members of the Xuanyou Sect looked at each other with terror in their eyes. As the Golden Core Cultivators approached, they immediately scattered in all directions.

Yun Ling arrived at the scene and saw the surrounding mess, with no trace of the Xuanyou Sect people left.

Aside from seven pools of blood on the ground, there was no other sign of them.

Above, the rift had already expanded to over three zhang high, and the surrounding space was completely distorted.

Some of the weaker Qi Refining Cultivators were unable to even step forward.

Fan Lang stepped forward and gave a self-mocking laugh: "After lying in wait for so long, I didn't expect the Xuanyou Sect to beat us to it. Xuan Ye calculated so much, likely just waiting for today. He really was a cunning old fox!"

"Don't say so much. Let's open this entrance first."

The surrounding Sect Masters gathered together. They used their Spiritual Qi in unison to enlarge the opening of the entrance until a person-sized gap appeared in the chaotic portal.

The other Cultivators who had been waiting for a long time saw the gap open, and someone whispered urgently.

"Quick! The entrance is open! Let's get in!"

Several Cultivators immediately rushed forward. They were only at the Qi Refining level; seeing the entrance open, they thought to fish in troubled waters and sneak in first.

But they didn't expect that as soon as they entered, they would scream in agony. Their bodies were instantly ground into blood mist by the surrounding turbulence, their physical forms vanishing in a flash.

This scene made the Qi Refining Cultivators who still wanted to move forward shrink back, not daring to advance further.

"Bringing it on themselves! This void turbulence is incredibly powerful; no one below Foundation Establishment can enter!"

Fan Lang sneered with disdain, then said to the remaining restless Disciples: "Enter one by one! Don't make a laughingstock of yourselves!"
