63: Only at the sixth realm!?

Watching the direction in which Chou had departed, a mocking sneer appeared at the corner of Tong Han's mouth.

He could tell that Chou was heading toward the Secret Realm passage, which was exactly where Chu Yuan and the others were located, yet he was not the least bit worried.

Even he couldn't deal with them for the time being, let alone a beast that was far inferior to him.

Who knew what trump cards those Family descendants still had up their sleeves? It would be good to let Chou go and wear them down for him!

As for the promise...

Having caused such a huge commotion, it wouldn't be easy for even him to escape, so how could he possibly bring along a bunch of dead weight?

The destination the organization had prepared for them... was to be buried together with Secret Realm No. 7!

...

Chu Yuan noticed that the Blood Beasts surrounding them were becoming restless, letting out excited low growls in one direction.

He immediately became vigilant.

Until a black dot in the distance rapidly enlarged, quickly blotting out the sky above the Formation!

"Holy crap! Such a huge Blood Beast!" Xiang Ning's eyes widened.

The strength of a Blood Beast was linked to its size, so what kind of strength would this Blood Beast, which was as big as a small hill above the Formation, possess!?

"Human Race... die!" Chou stared at the little ants below, endless baleful energy surging into his heart!

Year after year, he could no longer remember how many years his kin had been ruthlessly harvested!

These little people, the size of ants, would reappear every so often to skin and dismantle his kin, extracting their blood and cutting their flesh!

Even his parents and his children had been sent to their graves by their hands...

If he had limited intelligence like those low-ranking kin, that would be one thing;

But as it happened, he possessed considerable intelligence, and after reaching the Third Realm, he was unable to forget anything from the past...

A giant beast claw slammed down, causing everything to go dark before their eyes.

But this was not what Xiang Ning was focused on; he said in surprise, "It can actually talk!?"

Chu Yuan had no time to mind him; he squeezed the porcelain bottle containing the Epiphyllum Lure in his pocket, feeling slightly reassured.

Then, he instantly activated the Grand Array!

The Soul Puppet appeared; a Blood Beast covered in heads manifested above the Grand Array, roaring as it lunged toward that beast claw!

Chou's giant pupils fluctuated, and he was actually somewhat horrified.

What is this!?

It is... the Souls of his dead kin, casually kneaded and combined into this form!?

The beast claw made contact with the Soul Puppet, and a tangible, substantial sensation was transmitted.

It was shattering, disintegrating...

But the next moment, Chou only felt a pain in his claw, as if something had burrowed inside!

Then came a massive suction force! It pulled at the blood within his body, causing it to gush out from the wound...

Chou was incomparably furious.

Wasn't it said that they were just some Human Race cubs?

Why was it that even after devouring so many kin, he couldn't even kill these so-called Human Race cubs!?

He raised his head and roared, charging straight at the Grand Array! Like a falling meteorite!

Layers of blood-colored chains emerged, blocking the space between him and the people inside the Formation!

The collision occurred, and the sound of cracking came through; countless blood-colored chains disintegrated, only to re-condense!

The body of the Soul Puppet reappeared, instantly attaching itself to Chou's body.

Over a dozen heads opened their maws simultaneously to bite down, tearing off Chou's flesh and chewing voraciously...

Seeing this scene, the Blood Beasts on the periphery seemed to be enraged; they grew restless and kept roaring.

They seemed to have extremely poor patience, unable to stand seeing their king in such a sorry state, and actually began to actively charge at the Formation!

Naturally, Chu Yuan would not indulge them.

The Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation might have been like a stray dog when facing Tong Han, but against these Fourth Realm Blood Beasts, it was only one word: Instant kill!

The Formation patterns twisted, and blood-red chains slithered out like snakes, instantly piercing into the bodies of the Blood Beasts!

Locking their Souls, refining their flesh and blood!

One Blood Beast after another fell like harvested wheat...

Meanwhile, Chu Yuan dared not waste any time, dumping everything newly plundered by the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation into the Soul Puppet!

Consequently, its aura swelled even further!

"Roar~!"

Chou roared and shot up into the sky.

The chains were pulled taut, but eventually snapped.

The Soul Puppet could not leave the range of the Formation too far, so it had to stop, unwillingly...

Chou let out another low roar, and then the Blood Beasts below that had been charging quickly fled.

He seemed to have realized something and was no longer willing to let his remaining kin die in vain.

"Sixth Realm!? Why is it only the Sixth Realm!?" Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but a greater doubt surged into his heart.

"What's wrong with the Sixth Realm? I feel like this beast's oppressive pressure isn't even as strong as Tong Han's..."

"What's wrong? Of course there is a huge problem!

He has devoured so many Blood Beasts, yet only reached this level; do you think that's reasonable?" Chu Yuan said in a deep voice.

He had originally prepared for the giant beast to be very strong, but upon the first contact, he discovered;

The giant beast was indeed strong, but it was far from reaching his psychological expectations.

It was as if he had prepared to deal with a ferocious tiger, only to discover in the end that it was merely a hungry wolf...

Although the situation was relatively favorable, Chu Yuan vaguely felt that this was not a good thing.

Tong Han... what exactly have you done...

Mao Rui thought for a moment: "Maybe... it's because he wasted a lot of it?"

Xiang Ning was somewhat speechless: "...At a time like this, please don't show off your humorous intelligence, thanks."

Being able to provide nearly thirty percent of the raw materials for qi and blood pills for the entire Great Qin, one could imagine how many Blood Beasts were in the Secret Realm;

Furthermore, the military was not fishing out the pond to catch all the fish, but harvesting them in a planned manner to maintain the total number of Blood Beasts within a certain range...

Yet this giant beast had devoured almost the vast majority of the Blood Beasts in the Secret Realm; even if it only relied on accumulating numbers, it should have attained the physical strength of the Seventh Realm;

How could it still be inferior to Tong Han?

The Blood Sacrifice Grand Array was originally intended just to sacrifice the more than one million ordinary people in Chenyang City, which would be enough to produce great benefits for the existence behind Yan Xuan;

Comparing it this way... the scent of a conspiracy was almost fully revealed!

"Human Race!" Chou gritted his teeth, yet he was somewhat wary of that bizarre Formation;

His figure suddenly vanished, disappearing without a trace.

But before the people inside the Formation could relax, Chou's figure appeared again above the Formation;

A shadow was cast; he was seen holding up a small hill, fiercely hurling it over...

"You fools! You have been deceived by Tong Han!"

...

Outside the Secret Realm, the wilderness had already disappeared;

All around was a pitch-black sky, as if the Secret Realm had been stripped from reality and cast into the Void Realm...

Occasionally, a light would flash, but it would quickly extinguish, like a shooting star.

A young man with an evil appearance flapped his dark black wings, standing in the Void Realm, pressing his palm downward with an elegant posture;

Countless black feathers gathered from energy appeared, shooting toward the Martial Artist squad below like sharp arrows!

"Heh~"

Just at this moment, a long spear silently thrust out from behind!

In an instant, it pierced through his chest!

"Xiang Yi!? Aren't you... supposed to have gone to settle the Day of Vengeance!?"

No one paid him any mind; the long spear vibrated, and surging, domineering energy poured into his body, extinguishing his consciousness...
