206: Chapter 206 The Secret Realm Opens

"Here! Young Master..."

Composing herself, Bai Xiangyun took the Storage Ring from her finger, then handed the Secret Realm key and the other two Storage Rings to Qin Xiao.

"Hmm! You may go!"

Qin Xiao took the items and nodded in satisfaction.

As long as they were not his enemies or actively provoking him, he generally did not like to go on a killing spree.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiangyun's face lit up with joy. After thanking him, she gathered her clothes from the ground and ran off into the distance.

She was afraid that Qin Xiao would change his mind and keep her there.

After watching her leave, Qin Xiao headed in another direction.

Now, he just needed to wait quietly for this selection battle to end.

Half an hour after he left!

A black light flashed from beneath the ground and appeared on Zhao Yu's body.

At this moment, a bizarre scene unfolded!

Zhao Yu's corpse stood up unsteadily, its movements appearing quite uncoordinated.

The corpse was shrouded in black mist, and its eyes were pitch-black, looking like black holes.

A low roar emitted from Zhao Yu's mouth.

At the same time, wisps of thick Devilish Qi emanated from him.

"Gaga! Heaven has not abandoned me, Lü Changshou! Qin Feng, you didn't expect this, did you? I didn't die! Although I only have my Saint Soul left now, one day, I will return to take my revenge!"

Lü Changshou's face was filled with madness, and he continued to cackle with strange laughter.

He was an old demon from the Yuncang Domain who had been Cultivating for over a hundred thousand years and was one step away from reaching the Great Saint Realm.

This time, when he intended to blood-sacrifice the billions of living beings in an Imperial Dynasty to assist his own Breakthrough, he encountered the Longfeng Sword Saint, Qin Feng.

A heaven-shaking battle erupted, and ultimately, he was defeated by his opponent, and his Saint Body was completely obliterated.

Only his Saint Soul remained, tearing through space to flee in a sorry state, eventually accidentally entering Zhao Yu's body.

Although he escaped the pursuit, he was severely injured, and his Saint Soul was reduced to about one percent of its peak state.

Judging by the situation, he probably wouldn't be able to recover for several thousand or even ten thousand years.

It was even possible that he would never recover.

After all, this battle had completely damaged his Foundation.

If it were an ordinary Saint whose Saint Body had been obliterated and whose Saint Soul had suffered such damage, other than Possession or waiting for death, there would be almost no chance of making a comeback.

But he was different!

He was the Soul Refining Demon Saint! Most of his combat strength lay in his Soul, and he possessed various secret techniques to repair the Soul.

As long as he was given time, he had a seventy to eighty percent confidence level that he could recover from his injuries.

After a bout of strange laughter!

Lü Changshou turned his gaze inward to the body he now occupied.

Soon, his expression turned ugly.

"Damn trash, the heart was actually injured; I have to spend my own Soul Power to repair it!"

Lü Changshou cursed inwardly. If it weren't for the fact that performing another Possession would consume even more Soul Power, he would have switched bodies long ago.

After cursing, he turned his body, transformed into a wisp of black smoke, and vanished from the spot.

"Kill! You dare to snatch the key from me? Do you not want to live?"

"Bitch! Die!"

"Get lost!"

"Zhao Donglai, hand over the key!"

The slaughter in the forest continued. Sounds of battle echoed everywhere, and people were fighting in every corner; it was incredibly chaotic.

People were dying every moment. In just a few short hours, over ten thousand people had already died.

This Secret Realm key snatching battle had very few restrictions; it did not prohibit casualties, nor did it forbid slaughter.

Therefore, if you died, you died in vain.

However, most of those who died were Disciples from small and medium-sized factions.

The Disciples of the major factions gathered together, sweeping through the surroundings with their powerful strength, snatching up every key they encountered.

Anyone who dared to resist was killed, and suddenly, the forest was filled with wails of agony.

Seeing this, these small and medium-sized factions could only curse inwardly, helplessly dodging the people from the major factions.

This slaughter feast lasted for a day and a night before it ended.

It ended with over thirty thousand deaths; over thirty thousand Geniuses of the younger generation died in this forest, their bones buried in a foreign land.

The crowd waiting outside the forest saw their Family Disciples walk out safely, and faces were filled with joy.

Meanwhile, the factions that did not see their Disciples emerge all wore mournful expressions.

One hour later!

The elder appeared in the arena and said to the crowd below: "The Secret Realm is about to open. Everyone who has obtained a Secret Realm key may hold it and enter the Secret Realm!"

After speaking, the elder looked at the group of Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists behind him, waved his hand, and said: "Open the Secret Realm!"

"Sss, sss..."

As the elder's voice fell, over a dozen powerful auras surged atop the mountain peak.

"What terrifying auras."

Feeling these powerful auras, the crowd at the foot of the mountain suddenly changed color. These obscure auras, as they fluctuated, exerted absolute pressure upon them!

Even their Souls began to tremble!

Soon, five dazzling beams of light suddenly erupted from the mountain peak that towered into the clouds, shooting straight down. Each beam had a massive diameter of several dozen meters.

The five beams were yellow, black, blue, green, and red.

The five colors represented five elemental energies: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

The five beams of light shot into the sky, and instantly, the surrounding space began to vibrate!

They intersected at a single point in the sky!

In an instant, the surrounding world suddenly trembled violently!

A vast and ancient aura slowly diffused from the sky. The aura came from the void, giving people a sense of primordial antiquity!

It caused the Souls of everyone who felt this aura to tremble instantly.

"The Secret Realm is about to open."

Ye Tian took a step forward and couldn't help but say, his heart filled with excitement!

"Boom!"

Just as Ye Tian's voice fell!

A violent sound suddenly erupted from the sky, shaking the surrounding land. A gale also blew up, whipping up a pile of gravel.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

A spatial rift, several hundred meters in size, was slowly spreading in the sky, and the surrounding space immediately began to ripple!

Soon, everyone discovered that pure Spiritual Qi was emanating from the spatial rift, and a primordial aura was hidden within the Spiritual Qi.

"Is this the Thousand Mountains Secret Realm?"

Ye Tian, Yang Hao, Xu Buling, Long Haoyun, and everyone else in the arena stared at that massive spatial rift in the sky!

They were filled with extreme shock. At this moment, they realized how insignificant they were; under this aura, they were like ants.

"The Secret Realm has opened. Those who wish to enter the Secret Realm, go in! You only have one month. After one month, you will be expelled by the Secret Realm."

The elder pointed at the spatial rift and said softly!
