152: A miraculous miracle from the heavens, open the door!

In front of her, the man and You Ruo were like tiny insects; a single light blow from her would be enough to severely injure them.

One side was the mastermind of the rebellion, while the other was the public leader of the suppression force.

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred, but what happened next would overturn everyone's perception.

The Empress of Western Yan not only didn't attack them but actually stepped aside to make a path.

She said, "The other collateral Bloodlines of the Wang Family have been captured and are being held in the palace's Forbidden Ground."

As she spoke slowly, a hint of unquestionable decisiveness could be heard in her voice.

This was a person who would sacrifice everything to achieve her goals.

You Ruo nodded, an approving voice coming from beneath her mask: "Very good, you have made a wise choice."

"Your problems will be resolved. The great Tianyuan will grant you what you desire."

"Praise the great Gate, praise the great Tianyuan."

The Empress of Western Yan asked, "What else do I need to do?"

"Do those members of the Wang Family on the front lines also need to be recalled and killed?"

You Ruo shook her head: "Stay here and guard this place. Don't let anyone in."

"Fine!"

After they had walked a long distance, Jiang Ning glanced back at the Empress of Western Yan and couldn't help but ask.

"What kind of brainwashing did your Tianyuan give this woman to make her go this far? She's actually willing to give up her own blood relatives and her country?"

He found this method of manipulation truly incredible.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you guys are much more sinister than our Black Blood Mountain City. No wonder everyone in the entire Canglan Realm wants you dead."

Hearing this, You Ruo replied, "Oh? If Fellow Daoist Jiang is interested, why not join us and witness the blessings of Tianyuan together?"

At the mention of this, You Ruo began to preach to Jiang Ning, describing the beauty of Tianyuan.

But she only received Jiang Ning's mockery: "Keep your twisted theories and heresies to yourself."

His heart was full of disdain. He could easily toy with several True Disciples; how could he not know what methods Tianyuan used?

Questioning her was merely a way to gather more intelligence about this Tianyuan.

The Empress of Western Yan? She was now just a pitiful woman who had lost her husband.

The two of them walked deeper into the palace.

Before long, they arrived at the palace's Forbidden Ground.

There were members of the Wang Family Bloodline here, nearly a hundred in number, but their Cultivation had all been crippled, and they were locked in many iron cages.

In the very center of the Forbidden Ground sat a strange, large stone.

It was massive and square, with detailed patterns arranged neatly on it, as if it were something that didn't belong to this world.

"Excellent! This really is a relic of Tianyuan!!!"

"Great Tianyuan."

Seeing this giant stone, You Ruo was immediately filled with joy. Ignoring the strange looks from the Wang Family members nearby, she threw herself down in worship.

She kept muttering about the Gate, Tianyuan, eternal life, and such things.

Beside her, Jiang Ning interrupted, "Alright, enough with the 'great' stuff. Hurry up and get to work."

After saying this, he struck out boldly.

Channeling his True Essence, he conjured a giant hand and squeezed the Wang Family members. Following a series of popping sounds, they were all turned into blood mist.

Essence Blood! Refinement!

Sacrificing countless bits of blood mist and refining them over and over, they finally turned into a single drop of strange Essence Blood.

"The tenth drop! It's complete! Finally complete!"

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are about to witness the manifestation of Tianyuan! Soon you will see the Gate, you will see eternal life!"

You Ruo wept with joy, starting to act crazed again.

Only under Jiang Ning's repeated urging did she finally return to a somewhat normal state.

Opening the Formation protecting the giant stone, You Ruo poured that drop of Essence Blood, along with the nine drops collected previously, onto the stone.

It dripped onto this strange Magical Artifact.

Suddenly, a peculiar ripple of energy wavered.

Immediately after, a vast and boundless power surged from the giant stone.

This aura caused both people present to shudder violently.

For just that instant, they felt their bodies were imprisoned, unable to move even an inch.

Jiang Ning was pale with fright; this was an aura comparable to a Deity Transformation Venerable!

Then, a flash of light appeared, instantly traveling a great distance.

It caused the entire Western Yan Royal Capital, and even the entire Thirty-Six States of Donglin, to tremble.

"The great Gate!"

"Tianyuan!"

You Ruo knelt in devout worship, her mouth constantly muttering.

However, this ripple only lasted for a moment before it immediately died out.

"When will this miracle your Tianyuan speaks of arrive?"

Jiang Ning waited for fifteen minutes, but there was still no motion.

"Soon, probably."

You Ruo replied with some surprise.

Click... clack... click... clack... A bizarre sound rang out, and in the next moment, the giant stone suddenly underwent a series of rotating transformations.

The top of the stone cracked open, and a Feather emitting a strange light appeared.

With a boom! A terrifying azure beam of light shot out from the Feather, piercing straight into the sky and earth.

The entire Western Yan Dynasty under the night sky was suddenly lit up as bright as day.

"The Gate! Look! It's the Gate!"

You Ruo and Jiang Ning both widened their eyes, one ecstatic, the other terrified.

High in the sky, linked by the beam of light, a massive Bronze Gate slowly opened, spanning over ten miles.

Shortly after, light flickered within the gate.

Dozens of massive objects, the likes of which they had never heard of, passed through that enormous and strange gate and descended into this world.

Those objects were entirely white and unimaginably large.

"Rumble!"

As the objects crossed over, they made an earth-shattering sound.

With a whoosh, from within one of the massive objects...

An unknown being emerged and dove rapidly toward the ground.

He was dressed in a strange grey-red outfit, and on his head, he wore a crown unlike anything anyone had ever seen.

"A miracle! It's a miracle!"

"Long live Tianyuan!"

Beside him, You Ruo wept with joy.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning's eyes were wide with shock. Weren't these the legendary Outer Realm Heavenly Demons?

They had actually let the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons in!

"...So, this is what you call Tianyuan."

Jiang Ning took a few steps back, sweat pouring from his forehead like raindrops, sliding down his temples and soaking his collar.

It seemed even he hadn't expected that the Tianyuan the other party spoke of would be the legendary Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.

"This is what you meant by dividing Donglin Prefecture together?!"

He questioned her loudly. One must know that when Outer Realm Heavenly Demons appear, the entire Donglin Prefecture would be turned to scorched earth.

You Ruo gave a cold laugh, her lips curling into a contemptuous arc, and retorted dismissively.

"Pah! 'Outer Realm Heavenly Demons' is just a derogatory name you've given them!

"The Gate is great; Tianyuan is great!"

"That is not being turned to scorched earth; that is destruction before creation!"

"As long as your Black Blood Mountain City recognizes reality, sees the situation clearly, and joins our Tianyuan..."

"When that time comes, let alone Donglin Prefecture, even the Canglan Realm you desire will be within easy reach."

Seeing his sweat-drenched state, You Ruo felt secretly smug.

Hmph, a bunch of self-righteous fools looking at the sky from the bottom of a well; in the end, they were still thoroughly outmaneuvered by us followers of Tianyuan!

After hundreds of years of exploration, Tianyuan had finally found a way to communicate with the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.

With this method, when the time comes, Tianyuan will lead the way.

They would devour Donglin Prefecture step by step, then plot for the entire Canglan Realm to achieve a great undertaking!!

However, at that very moment, the fearful expression on Jiang Ning's face suddenly vanished, replaced by a bizarre smile.

"Tell me, if I were the first to send people to attack those Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, what would happen?"

"Would it provoke the wrath of these Outer Realm Heavenly Demons?"

Hearing this, You Ruo's expression changed drastically.

In the next moment, he boldly attacked the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons...
