308: Blood Sacrifice to Xuantian Domain

"How could this be..."

Ran Yuzhu felt his entire being shatter.

Xi Ling actually found him disgusting; this was even harder for him to accept than being treated like an ant.

Because he was proud, believing his talent was unparalleled, and given time, he was confident he could become an Immortal King.

Because he didn't just have talent; he also had great luck.

When he was young, he unexpectedly obtained an Immortal King Artifact.

Therefore, he was different from the common masses.

He was a favored son of heaven, looking down upon ancient ages, observing the rise and fall of the brilliant great era.

"Are you very unwilling? Do you think you have the potential to become an Immortal King?"

Xi Ling's eyes were full of mockery. She shook her head and said indifferently, "Heaven and Earth are vast, and reincarnation spans eons. Favored sons of heaven like you have been countless throughout endless ages, but how many have truly become Immortal Kings since ancient times? You are nothing but a frog at the bottom of a well."

"Now, an opportunity for transcendence is right before you; it just depends on whether you can seize it."

With that, Xi Ling's figure faded and vanished in an instant.

"Stop."

"Xi Ling, get out here!"

"I am your father's disciple, your elder. I have worked tirelessly for the Zhao family; you cannot treat me like this!"

Ran Shanqiang roared, his eyes filled with despair and fear.

Ran Yuzhu was struck by lightning, Xi Ling's words echoing loudly in his mind.

"Are there really so many prodigies and evildoers in the world? Is breaking through to Immortal King truly that difficult?" Ran Yuzhu murmured.

His long-held conviction was slowly crumbling.

He looked at Ran Shanqiang, then his gaze shifted to the hundreds of thousands of clansmen, his expression changing erratically... Xi Ling entered the Qi Tian Great Array, where endless runes surged like an ocean, and mysterious light crisscrossed.

On a white jade array platform stood a beautiful woman of exquisite grace, her eyes as gentle as water.

"Mother!"

Xi Ling, like a swallow returning to its nest, plunged into the beautiful woman's embrace.

"Nannan." Qi Xiangyi smiled as gently as water, softly stroking her daughter's silver hair.

"Thank you for your help, Mother." Xi Ling burrowed her head into her mother's broad embrace, trying to find a comfortable position.

The array artifacts were refined by her, and the two supreme great arrays were also activated by her.

But it was Qi Xiangyi who secretly helped set them up.

Relying solely on the array formations, without a foundation of immensely powerful cultivation, it would be impossible to refine the Xuantian Domain, or even to encompass it.

"Silly girl, what are you saying? You are my daughter. If I don't help you, who will?" Qi Xiangyi chided.

Her voice was magnetic and gentle, as if imbued with magic, like a spring breeze caressing the soul, making one unconsciously relax.

"Are you sure Ran Yuzhu will commit parricide?" Qi Xiangyi gently stroked her daughter's silver hair, her eyes flickering.

"I'm sure." Xi Ling said with certainty, "If he wants to live, he must commit parricide to resist the first wave of World-Extinguishing Heavenly Thunder."

Xi Ling's guess was correct. After a struggle, Ran Yuzhu's eyes gradually turned cold.

"My son, you..."

Ran Shanqiang was frightened by his son's gaze.

That look was like the eyes of a cold-blooded killer.

How could his most proud son look at him with such cold eyes?

"Father, please help me achieve the Dao."

Ran Yuzhu bowed respectfully and brought out a blood emperor pagoda.

This was a special Immortal King Artifact, capable of devouring all living beings, refining them into the purest essence, possessing unparalleled body-tempering divine efficacy, and strengthening the origin of life.

Ran Yuzhu was an extraordinary evildoer who cultivated both body and soul; his physical body was comparable to a Heavenly God Artifact.

His achievements were largely thanks to the assistance of the blood emperor pagoda.

In addition, the blood emperor pagoda had another heaven-defying function: it could devour living beings to power itself.

As long as enough living beings were devoured, the full power of the blood emperor pagoda could be unleashed.

"You..."

Ran Shanqiang and hundreds of thousands of clansmen were sucked into the blood emperor pagoda. A mighty force descended, devouring their flesh and blood essence, as well as their magic power and immortal essence.

Normally, knowing that Ran Yuzhu had obtained an Immortal King Artifact, he would have been ecstatic.

But at this moment, he couldn't be happy at all.

He could sacrifice himself for Ran Yuzhu, but he could not accept Ran Yuzhu committing parricide to save his own life.

"Zhao Xinglan, you are truly vicious..."

"I will not let you go even as a ghost!"

Ran Shanqiang roared, his heart filled with profound sorrow.

The Zhao family had used them for countless ages, and in the end, they were even exploited by Xi Ling.

After using them, they were all sacrificed, and she even made father and son turn against each other, making Ran Yuzhu bear the calamity.

How could there be such a malicious woman in the world?

"Rumble!"

The Heaven Refining Great Array took shape, sealing heaven and earth, completely isolating it from the outside world, forming a furnace of heaven and earth.

The World-Extinguishing Heavenly Thunder also arrived as promised.

Boundless tribulation clouds gathered at the giant mouth of the furnace, and terrifying heavenly thunder poured down, emitting an aura that could destroy heaven and earth.

Ran Yuzhu's scalp tingled.

If even one bolt of this heavenly thunder landed on him, even if his physical body was comparable to a Heavenly God Artifact, he would be reduced to ashes.

Ran Yuzhu fully activated the blood emperor pagoda, covering himself... "Ah..."

The cultivators of the three hundred and sixty array foundations let out a scream, instantly suppressed into blood mist by the vast mighty force and completely devoured.

The Heaven Refining Great Array was fully activated from then on.

"Who exactly is sacrificing the Xuantian Domain?"

Cultivators below the Profound God Realm were instantly annihilated, turning into a sky full of blood mist.

As for the Profound Gods, they were not much better off, suppressed and finding it difficult to move, their death was only a matter of time.

"It should be He Guang Immortal King."

"He must be trying to refine the Xuantian Domain to break through to Immortal Emperor."

Several Profound Gods showed despair, speaking mournfully.

They were once exalted Profound God Great Powers, dominating one side, controlling the life and death of billions of beings, dictating their fate, and looking down upon ancient ages.

Yet, in the eyes of an Immortal King, they were like ants.

Even, for a jade token, they actually fought to the death, scrambling to be sacrifices.

What kind of sorrow was this?

..."It's done."

Gu Qing's body surged with Chaos Qi, blocking the refining power of the Heaven Refining Great Array.

He activated his Dao Pupil, observing the destruction of heaven and earth, and comprehending the true meaning of laws amidst the destruction.

He comprehended the myriad phenomena of the world in its annihilation.

The earth collapsed, stars disintegrated, and space-time shattered.

Forests were burning, living beings were burning, and seawater turned into a sea of fire... All things in heaven and earth were melted into the most fundamental essence of the Heavenly Dao, evolving infinitely, capable of creating all things.

A wisp of Heavenly Dao essence encompassed everything.

Gu Qing observed for three days, and his realm ascended a step.

His understanding of Dao techniques and divine abilities improved further.

In fact, as long as Gu Qing wished, he could break through to Profound God at any time.

"It's time to leave."

He had almost fully comprehended the profoundness of the Heaven Refining Great Array and the evolution of the Heavenly Dao essence.

He had seen everything he could see; what he couldn't understand, he could only take time to comprehend.

Gu Qing obviously didn't have that much time.

He was still eager to merge with the Chaotic Mother Nest.

"Following the villain ensures meat to eat." Gu Qing's face showed joy.

The gains of these three days were equivalent to hundreds of years of his arduous cultivation.

In the future, he would have to keep a close eye on Xi Ling. Once Xi Ling refined heaven and earth, he would follow along to get a share of the benefits.

Xi Ling would bear the World-Extinguishing Heavenly Thunder herself.

Thinking this, Gu Qing used his Dao Pupil to scan the Qi Tian Great Array, wanting to take one last look at Xi Ling before leaving.

"Hmm?"

Qi Xiangyi's expression changed slightly. She flicked her sleeve, and billions of runes surged like an ocean, forming layers upon layers of endless restrictions.

Her eyes pierced through the void, and seeing that it was Gu Qing, she instantly saw through his origins.

She immediately reined in her killing intent, a smile appearing on her face, and exclaimed, "What an incredible little fellow, such great fortune, such great creation, a perfect match for my daughter."

Gu Qing, who was using his Dao Pupil to inspect, suddenly frowned: "Can't see through? How can this be?"

Under the scan of his Dao Pupil, the layers of restrictions were endless, making it impossible to see the bottom.

He hadn't seen such magical restrictions when he looked at the Qi Tian Great Array before.

Never mind, if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it.

Gu Qing transformed into a ray of starlight, passing through the heaven and earth furnace that sealed heaven and earth.

"Nannan, I have to go back." Qi Xiangyi said softly.

Xi Ling withdrew her gaze, surprised: "Mother, aren't you going to observe the evolution of the Heavenly Dao essence? This is an extraordinary great fortune."

"No, your father is waiting outside, anxious. He's currently confronting several Immortal Kings. I need to go out and watch over him, lest he be bullied."

With that, Qi Xiangyi's figure faded, silently disappearing into the Qi Tian Great Array.

"But... alright."

Xi Ling looked unwilling, wanting to persuade her further, but seeing Qi Xiangyi disappear directly, a breath caught in her throat, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Taking a deep breath, she composed herself, and Xi Ling continued to observe the evolution of the Heavenly Dao essence with her Reincarnation Divine Pupil.

At the same time, she activated a supreme cultivation technique, devouring the Heavenly Dao essence.

Her physique was transforming, her divine soul was sublimating, and her immortal essence was transforming into magic power.

Her entire being was undergoing a great metamorphosis.

"Rumble!"

The blood emperor pagoda covered the sky and earth, its blood-red light illuminating the firmament, resisting all the pouring heavenly thunder.

"Crack!"

Seeing a slight crack appear in the blood emperor pagoda, though it recovered in an instant, Ran Yuzhu's pupils still constricted, and his divine soul trembled in fear.

The World-Extinguishing Heavenly Thunder would last at least forty-nine days, and at most eighty-one days.

And each day would be stronger than the last.

It was only the third day, and the blood emperor pagoda was already struggling. Could he really persevere until the end?

Ran Yuzhu slowly shook his head, his despairing eyes gradually becoming firm.

Perseverance offered a glimmer of hope; giving up meant certain death.

With this thought, Ran Yuzhu guarded his mind, simultaneously resisting the World-Extinguishing Heavenly Thunder and activating his cultivation technique to devour the Heavenly Dao essence and improve his cultivation.

It was a pity, though, that the Heavenly Dao essence was not truly the ultimate creation.

The great destruction of heaven and earth, and the profound evolution of the Heavenly Dao essence, that was the true great creation.

There was only one chance.

Once missed, even if the Heavenly Dao essence was collected, it would only be a gas containing the essence of laws.

Having lost its profound evolution, it would just be a dead thing.

Ran Yuzhu wanted to comprehend, but he couldn't concentrate and comprehend. He could only watch as the great fortune was within reach yet unattainable, a feeling more agonizing than having his flesh gouged out... As Gu Qing exited the Xuantian Domain, he sensed several Immortal King auras that pressed down on heaven and earth.

These were Immortal Kings who had arrived near the Xuantian Domain.

After all, with the Xuantian Domain being refined, the entire Immortal World was alarmed, and Immortal Kings couldn't possibly not sense it.

However, none of this concerned him.

Gu Qing sent a message to Hong Lan and the others.

He told them to meet up with Su Yunhai and return to the Star Dao Sect together.

He also sent a message to Jiang Yu.

These four 'tool people' were useful for as long as possible.

With their four abilities, plus Su Yunhai and the recruited subordinates, they should be able to conquer half of the Star Dao Sect's territory.

It wouldn't be too late for him to return to the Star Dao Sect and set things right after he merged with the Chaotic Mother Nest.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the Tianlong Domain?"

Seeing He Ni appear holding Nannan, Gu Qing walked forward.

He Ni pursed her lips.

Although Gu Qing spoke with absolute certainty, and she believed his Myriad Transformations Chaos could ignore the Heaven Refining Great Array,

she was still worried. Therefore, she had been waiting on the outskirts of the Xuantian Domain.

If Gu Qing encountered danger, she could break the array and rescue him in time.

"Let's go."

He Ni tore through space, arriving at the "Burial Dragon Forbidden Ground" in the Tianlong Domain.

According to legend, in ancient times, an Immortal Emperor Realm Dragon Emperor fell here, causing this place to be permeated with a power of decay.

This power of decay was indestructible by heaven and earth.

Profound Gods entering would be corroded by the power of decay within three days, becoming withered bones.

Immortal Kings, however, could be fearless.

There were once several Immortal Kings who entered, hoping to find the Dragon Emperor's dragon bones and dragon pearl.

However, after entering, they never came out again, suspected to have perished.

Gu Qing chose to come here, with seclusion being secondary. His main purpose was to let the Calamity Black Dragon devour the power of decay in this place.

The Calamity Black Dragon could devour all negative energy; the power of decay, which everyone feared, was simply a great tonic for the Calamity Black Dragon.

If he was lucky, he might even find the Dragon Emperor's dragon bones and dragon pearl.

Whoosh!

Just as Gu Qing was fantasizing, a dazzling golden pearl flew over, emitting an aura of transcendence.

He Ni reached out and caught it, exclaiming happily, "It's the Dragon Emperor's dragon pearl."

She put it into a jade box, cast a restriction, and planned to refine it when she had time.

Gu Qing's mouth twitched. He silently released the Calamity Black Dragon to devour the power of decay.

If he couldn't eat meat, he should at least have some soup, right?

"Let's go!"

After waiting for a while and seeing no treasures fly over, Gu Qing led the mother and daughter into the Ruyi Space.

He handed the Five Spirit Pearls to the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower for devouring.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Ruyi Space erupted with deafening roars, the entire space shaking as if about to shatter, divine light gushing forth.

Five-colored divine light crisscrossed, and the order of ten thousand laws flowed, reshaping the world.

The three of them concentrated on observing the evolution of the world.

This was a creation of the world, a fortune infinitely more powerful than observing the destruction of heaven and earth.

If the right hand could control the power of creation, then the left hand could certainly control the power of destruction.

Time flew by, and the world's reshaping continued for thirty-six days before the fusion was complete.

The entire Ruyi Space was filled with innate spiritual energy, Five Elements Mother Qi, and Xuan Huang Mother Qi.

Gu Qing's mind was connected to the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower. The moment of complete fusion, a vast amount of information was transmitted from the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower.

In the Ruyi Space, the sun, moon, and stars hung, the galaxy was endless, and the land area seemed even more vast and boundless than the Immortal World.

The earth veins had generated countless rare mineral veins.

Heaven and earth naturally nurtured countless treasures.

There were also various innate divine waters.

What surprised Gu Qing the most was that the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower already had a hundredfold time flow rate.

If he refined the innate restrictions of the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower, he could adjust the time ratio at will.

However, refining an innate treasure, with his current strength, would take millions of years, so he shouldn't even think about it.

The three of them observed the evolution of the Ruyi Space, the scene of world birth and destruction flowing in their eyes, their Dao rhythm becoming increasingly profound, as if they were about to evolve a world.

Gu Qing was already on the verge of a breakthrough. Observing the world's evolution, his Dao Law realm advanced another level, and he could break through to Profound God at any time.

After an unknown amount of time, the initial fusion of the Ruyi Space was complete, and Gu Qing seemed to be lost in thought.

"So, destruction and creation are like this..." He felt that with his current cultivation, he could open up heaven and earth and create a great world.

In fact, many secret realms in the world were mostly created by great powers, both to verify their own Dao laws and to leave a blessing for future generations.

When he had time, he would also open up a world to see.

The immediate priority was to first merge with the Chaotic Mother Nest and evolve into a perfect Profound God.

"Yan'er, Daddy is about to release the Chaotic Mother Nest. Are you ready?"

Gu Qing rubbed his daughter's small head.

"Mm-hmm! Daddy, don't worry, I'm ready!" Yan'er looked well-behaved, her big eyes sparkling.
