146: Chapter 146 Heaven and Earth Unite in One Furnace, Blood Sacrifice Begins!

"How much longer do you want me to keep up this act!"

"That Qin Yu stole all the spotlight again today!"

"I wish I could devour him alive right now!"

"What's the hurry!"

Ji Haoyue stood outside the Formation, his expression cold and indifferent, a completely different person from his gentle appearance during the day.

"A beast that doesn't know how to endure can never become a hunter."

"Master! I..."

Sky Splitter was choked up, but had no way to refute.

"Rest assured."

Ji Haoyue's voice carried not a trace of emotion.

"Tomorrow shall be the day he dies!"

"Everyone present today, including those few Old things from your Foreign Realm."

"Will all become sacrifices for me to activate the Immortal Ancient Ten Thousand Tribulations Formation."

A cruel arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

"I will use the essence blood of these Myriad Race Prodigies to pave a path of flesh and blood for your sleeping Ancient Ancestor to descend into this world."

"At that time, not just Qin Yu, but the entire Qin Family and the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will become our hunting ground!"

Hearing this insane plan, Sky Splitter's breathing became rapid.

The flames of hope were rekindled in his eyes.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"As long as I can kill Qin Yu, I'm willing to do anything!"

"What about Han Yueli then?"

Sky Splitter suddenly remembered something and said:

"Will that bitch really betray Qin Yu?"

"Heh."

Ji Haoyue gave a disdainful cold laugh.

"This Divine Son has seen many people like her; one only needs to give her a little hope."

"Promise her things she never possessed, and she will pounce like a dog."

"She has already been turned by me and is now an important chess piece I've planted by Qin Yu's side."

"Tomorrow, when the grand Formation opens, she will launch a sneak attack from within and deliver a fatal blow to Qin Yu."

The two of them discussed tomorrow's conspiracy unscrupulously in the secret chamber.

Yet they did not know.

That every single word of their conversation,

Was being transmitted to another place through some mysterious method.

...

Inside the imperial chariot palace.

Qin Yu was still lying lazily.

But at some point, an alluring figure had joined him in his embrace.

It was precisely Han Yueli, who had just surrendered herself before Ji Haoyue.

At this moment, she was like a docile kitten, curled up in Qin Yu's arms.

Han Yueli's eyes were closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

A Soul Chain that only she and Qin Yu could sense,

Was transmitting everything from that secret chamber in real-time.

"A Crouching Dragon and a Fledgling Phoenix, quite the pair."

After listening to the entirety of Ji Haoyue and Sky Splitter's plan, Qin Yu silently mocked them in his heart.

He opened his eyes and looked down at the charming and alluring face in his arms.

"Well done."

Qin Yu pinched Han Yueli's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

"Th-thank you for the praise, Master!"

A flush of red rose to Han Yueli's cheeks, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.

Today's performance had been a massive test for her as well.

She had to show resentment toward Qin Yu,

While also acting out the gratitude and dependence of being saved by Ji Haoyue.

Fortunately, she had accomplished it all.

And she had done it very well.

"Merit deserves a reward."

Qin Yu's mouth curled.

He lowered his head amidst Han Yueli's exclamation...

After a long while.

Han Yueli's face was flushed like a sunset, panting for breath, her entire body limp in Qin Yu's arms.

"Tomorrow, you will proceed according to his plan."

Qin Yu's fingers lightly traced across her back.

"Wait until he is at his most triumphant, then give him the most fatal blow."

"Your servant girl... obeys!"

Han Yueli's voice was full of enchantment.

After twice being used as a thorn in a counter-espionage plot,

She felt as though the connection between her and her master had become even tighter.

That feeling of being completely trusted and used as the sharpest weapon,

Gave her a sense of morbid satisfaction!

The night grew deeper.

Qin Yu comforted the beauty in his arms and let her withdraw.

He walked alone to the window of the palace, gazing at the pitch-black night sky outside.

Bulao Mountain seemed to be shrouded in immortal mist, peaceful and serene.

But under his Double Pupils,

He had already seen the blood-colored grand Formation slowly operating deep underground.

As well as the faces hidden in the darkness,

Filled with greed and killing intent.

"What a gluttonous feast!"

Qin Yu murmured softly to himself.

He slowly raised his hand, and the chaos return to ruins banner quietly emerged in his palm.

Qin Yu gently stroked the cold staff of the banner, feeling the longing and hissing coming from the hundreds of millions of souls within.

The corner of his mouth curled into a grim arc, like a god or demon looking down upon all living beings.

"Don't be in a hurry..."

"Let them have a good night's sleep tonight."

"Tomorrow's souls will be purer and more delicious."

...

The next day.

When the first ray of dawn pierced through the immortal mist of Bulao Mountain,

This grand gathering, which had drawn the gaze of the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, reached its final climax.

The tension and undercurrents of last night seemed to have dissipated.

In its place was a nearly fanatical expectation.

Countless Prodigies and powerhouses of various races who had been led here gathered at the summit of the main peak of Bulao Mountain.

On an incredibly vast white jade square.

In the center of the square was a patch of ancient ruins shrouded in dense immortal light.

Broken walls and debris, primitive and ancient, with faint fragments of Immortal Dao Laws floating within.

It was exactly what Ji Haoyue had promised to open—a corner of the Immortal Ancient Battlefield.

Everyone craned their necks, their eyes burning with fervor.

That was the legendary supreme fortune.

If one could glimpse even a shred of the true meaning of the Immortal Dao from it,

The trip would not be in vain!

Ji Haoyue wore a golden long robe, his posture as upright as a pine.

He still maintained that gentle and elegant appearance, standing at the very front of the square.

Not far behind him, Han Yueli stood looking pitiful.

She appeared completely like a small woman who had been frightened and was seeking protection.

This scene drew many gloating gazes, which occasionally glanced toward the other side.

There.

Qin Yu stood proudly.

Beside him were Chu Youwei, Xiao Yuxin, and the other girls.

He looked as if he was still angry about yesterday's events, his eyes closed and his face full of displeasure.

Ji Haoyue took all of this in, the smile at the corner of his mouth becoming increasingly gentle.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

First, make you deserted by everyone and your Dao Heart unstable.

Then, use a supreme killing trap to bury you completely!

Seeing that the time had come, Ji Haoyue cleared his throat and spoke loudly.

His voice spread throughout the entire square.

"Everyone!"

"The road to Immortal Ascension is long and indefinite."

"Today, I, Haoyue, shall join you all in parting this eternal mist to seek that sliver of life together!"

His words were impassioned, causing the hearts of everyone present to surge with excitement.

"Next, please focus your minds and calm your Qi, and follow me to open this Immortal Ancient Battlefield!"

As Ji Haoyue spoke, his hands began to form a series of complex and profound hand seals.

The ancient Formation patterns on the ground of the square were all lit up.

A power so grand it was beyond words began to awaken.

No one dared to be negligent; they all sat cross-legged, preparing to enter that ruin with their Divine Thought.
