211: Chapter 211 The Eternal Hidden Secret: True God's Blood, The Sacrifice Conspiracy Revealed

The Old Ancestor's voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying a heart-palpitating magic.

Zi Yun looked at the withered Old Ancestor before her, who looked like a malevolent ghost. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she subconsciously leaned closer into Su Yun's embrace.

She could feel that the gaze this so-called "Old Ancestor" had for her was very wrong.

It wasn't the kindness of a senior looking at a Junior.

It was a kind of... greed!

Like a beast that had been hungry for countless years seeing the most delicious prey!

She shook her head and said nothing.

Su Yun protected her behind him, looking at the old man putting on a show with great interest, wanting to see what tricks he was up to.

"Hehe..."

The Old Ancestor let out a dry laugh, seemingly not surprised by Zi Yun's reaction.

His gray eyes slowly turned, and his voice rasped as he began to recount an unknown ancient secret.

"My Xiao Family is not an indigenous resident of this Upper Realm."

"One hundred thousand years ago, our ancestors followed a supreme existence and descended here from a higher-dimensional world."

"Our mission was not to start a sect or rule this world."

"But to... guard something."

"Guard?" Zi Yun's eyes flashed with doubt upon hearing this.

"That's right, guard."

The Old Ancestor's voice suddenly became a bit excited.

"To guard the bottomless abyss beneath this hall, named the 'God-Burial Abyss'!"

"And you, Nickname..."

His gaze locked onto Zi Yun once more, and two clumps of mad flames burned within those gray pupils!

"The blood flowing through you is no ordinary Goddess Bloodline!"

"It is the... True God Bloodline that my Xiao Family spent one hundred thousand years and sacrificed countless generations of clansmen to finally successfully awaken within you!"

True God Bloodline?!

Zi Yun's heart jolted.

However, the Old Ancestor's next words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"This True God Bloodline is no great blessing!"

"It is merely... a key!"

"The only key that can open the 'God-Burial Abyss' and take out the supreme Origin within that is enough to let anyone transcend the Immortal Emperor and reach the eternal and immortal realm!"

After those words fell.

The Old Ancestor's originally calm face instantly became incredibly hideous!

His disguise of kindness and amiability was completely torn to shreds at this moment!

"So, for the sake of my Xiao Family's eternal hegemony!"

"For the sake of this Old Ancestor being able to break this damned lifespan shackle and take that final step!"

"Nickname..."

"Please, for the sake of the Family, sacrifice your true spirit!"

Along with his roar full of malice and madness.

"Buzz—!"

Throughout the dark hall, countless crimson Formation lines instantly lit up on the surrounding walls!

These Formation patterns crawled frantically on the walls like living things, emitting a thick, inseparable Aura of blood and evil.

In the next second.

Countless chains condensed from crimson energy lunged from all directions like venomous snakes leaving their hole, frantically wrapping towards Zi Yun who was surrounded in the center!

This was the Sacrificial Grand Formation he had spent tens of thousands of years of painstaking effort to prepare!

Once entangled by these chains, even a true Immortal Emperor's true spirit would be drained clean in an instant, turning into nourishment to open the 'God-Burial Abyss'!

He as if already saw the image of himself devouring that supreme Origin, transcending this world, and attaining eternal life!

He couldn't help but let out a crazed laugh!

"Hahahaha—!"

However, his laughter came to an abrupt halt in the next second.

Because the image he had envisioned—Zi Yun being pierced by chains and letting out a shrill scream—did not appear.

At the moment those crimson chains, capable of tearing apart an Immortal Emperor's true spirit, were about to touch Zi Yun's body.

A faint, inconspicuous Dark Gold Light Shield emerged out of thin air, enveloping Zi Yun and Su Yun within it.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The moment all the crimson chains hit that Dark Gold Light Shield, it was like eggs hitting a stone.

Unable to even make the light shield ripple, they were shattered into pieces by an invisible force!

Turning into a sky full of red light spots, they dissipated into the air.

"This... how is this possible?!"

The wild laugh on the Old Ancestor's face instantly froze, replaced by unhideable shock and horror!

This Sacrificial Grand Formation of his could instantly refine even an expert in the Late Stage of the Immortal Emperor realm!

How could it... how could it be blocked by a tiny protective light shield?!

He looked up in horror at the gray-clothed youth who had remained calm from beginning to end.

He saw Su Yun gently pull Zi Yun, whose small face was already pale with fright, behind him.

Then, he raised his eyes and looked at him with a mocking gaze, as if looking at a clown or an idiot.

"Old man, finished your performance?"

Su Yun's voice was full of playfulness.

"You... who exactly are you?!"

The Old Ancestor finally realized that he seemed to have provoked an existence he shouldn't have!

He suddenly stood up from the stone platform where he had sat for ten thousand years!

A terrifying power that far exceeded the Peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, and had even half-stepped into the realm of "Transcendence", frantically revived from his withered body!

The entire hall trembled violently under the pressure of this power, as if it would collapse at any moment!

His gray eyes locked onto Su Yun.

"No matter who you are! Anyone who dares to ruin this Old Ancestor's ten-thousand-year plan must die today!"

He roared, about to strike.

However, Su Yun's next action caused all of his Aura to instantly drain away.

Su Yun's lips curled into a cold arc.

Leisurely, he pulled out a pitch-black token from his robe, with the ancient character "Bury" engraved on it.

He toyed with the token, then, in an extremely flat tone, spoke a name that made even this old monster who had lived for a hundred thousand years feel his heart and gall split with fear.

"The thing you mentioned, the one your Xiao Family's ancestors were guarding..."

"Does it happen to have something to do with this 'Heaven Burial Palace'?"

Boom!

Heaven Burial Palace!

These three words were like a world-destroying divine thunder, crashing heavily onto the Old Ancestor's Divine Soul!

He looked at the token in Su Yun's hand that emitted a forbidden Aura, and his gray pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpricks!

For the first time, a look of heartfelt, endless fear appeared on his face!

Su Yun chuckled at his terrified appearance.

He casually tossed the burial heaven token at the Old Ancestor's feet.

"Old man, if you're playing dead, you should have the awareness of someone playing dead."

"Guess..."

Su Yun's eyes became incredibly cold and dangerous.

"If I were to release that 'thing' suppressed below right now."

"Would your old bones that have been Cultivating for a hundred thousand years..."

"Be enough for it to chew on for a few bites?"
