Chapter 720 Xueyan wakes up

The aura around him gradually stabilized, and a long-lost peace appeared on his face, as if the earth, which had been dry for a long time, finally welcomed life after a downpour.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, and his aura was refreshed and natural.

He performed the highest level of Blood Spirit Clan etiquette to Luo Li, "Please wait for me outside for a moment, Spirit Master."

Seeing Luo Li nod, Xue Yan waved gently, and the scenery in front of Luo Li changed, and she appeared in front of the lake again.

She turned around and saw Di Xuanming's eyes full of worry, "Ali, you're awake."

Even though Qian said that it was Senior Xue Yan who pulled the Spirit Master into his domain, Ling Yu was still a little worried. Now that he saw Luo Li wake up, he was truly relieved.

"Spirit Master, are you okay?"

Luo Li nodded lightly, her eyes swept over Di Xuanming and Ling Yu, and she smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

She stood up and looked into the lake. "Senior Xueyan said that we should wait here for a while. He will wake up soon."

Before Luo Li finished speaking, layers of delicate ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, as if a sleeping giant beast was slowly waking up.

The afterglow of the setting sun penetrates the mist and sprinkles on the sparkling water, with dots of golden light, which is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

Emperor Xuanming and Lingyu held their breath and waited, only to see a blood-red light quietly blooming in the depths of the lake, gradually condensing into shape, like a blooming red spider lily, enchanting and sacred.

The air around seemed to freeze, and an ancient and powerful aura quietly spread.

A long blood-red coffin emerged from the water, the blood hall broke open, and a bright light shone.

In the blood-red light, a figure slowly rose up, wearing a blood-red robe, and his long hair was like a waterfall, fluttering gently in the wind.

His eyes are deep, as if they can see through all the secrets in the world.

There is a faint scent of blood surrounding his body, but there is also an air of immortality that transcends the world.

He raised his hand gently, and the ripples on the lake subsided instantly, as if the whole world stopped with his movement.

Luo Li narrowed her eyes and raised her voice slightly, "Senior Xueyan."

Xue Yan glanced sideways, then dodged and landed on the shore, "Spirit Master."

Luo Li chuckled and nodded, "How is your injury, Senior?"

Xue Yan shook his head slightly, his figure looking a little thin under his blood-red robe. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he said, "It's nothing serious. He'll be well again in a while."

After all, it was an injury left by the Lord of the Dark Realm. It was a good result that the Lord-level elixir could heal most of it.

Luo Li nodded lightly, "That's good."

Ling Yu smiled and said, "Senior Xueyan, long time no see."

Xueyan looked at Lingyu, a gentleness flashing in his crimson eyes, "Lingyu boy, your cultivation has improved a lot."

As he spoke, he gently patted Lingyu's shoulder. An invisible force flowed, making Lingyu feel that the soul power in his body was slightly boiling, as if there was a sign of a breakthrough, but it calmed down after a moment.

"It's been so many years, how could I not have made any progress at all? Besides," Lingyu pointed to the sky, "this is the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent. Even if Senior wants to help me break through, it's useless."

Xue Yan was stunned for a moment, pressed his head, and shook his head with a smile, "I was confused."

Luo Li was standing aside, and seeing this, the corners of her mouth curled up. Several people stood by the quiet lake, and the breeze blew, causing their clothes to flutter. Ripples appeared on the lake surface, reflecting the gorgeous sunset in the sky. The scene was peaceful and beautiful.

She coughed lightly and said, "Senior, we came to bother you because we want to ask you something."

Xue Yan was much more sober now. He nodded, "Spirit Master, please speak. I will tell you everything I know."

Luo Li curled her lips and turned her gaze to the sky. There, there was a black altar. Above the altar, a faint black mist lingered, like the eye of the abyss, quietly watching everything below, adding an indescribable weirdness and chill to the tranquil scene.

She raised her fingertips and spoke slowly, "Senior Xueyan, please look at this. Do you know what this thing is?"

Xue Yan raised his eyes upon hearing this, and upon seeing the black altar clearly, he was shocked, "This, this is..."

His eyes suddenly widened, and the entire picture of the black altar was reflected in his pupils. The black mist swirling above it twisted like a living thing, making people feel sick.

He came back to his senses and frowned tightly, "This... This is the Soul Devouring Altar! A forbidden object from the dark world that can devour the souls of all things, how could it appear here! "

"So this thing is called Soul Devourer..." Luo Li thought for a moment and continued, "There is another thing on this altar."

"Oh?" Xue Yan asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

Luo Li's eyes were deep and her voice was clear as she slowly uttered three words, "Netherworld Monument."

"The Netherworld Monument?!" Xue Yan's pupils shrank sharply upon hearing this, and he followed Luo Li's gaze. He saw an ancient stone monument vaguely visible above the Soul Devouring Altar, shrouded in black mist.

The surface of the stone tablet is engraved with complex runes, emitting a faint blood-red light, which looks even more eerie in the black fog.

He immediately understood the current situation and what exactly happened.

Ling Yu recounted everything that had happened earlier, and then said, "It is because of this Netherworld Monument that we have come to bother you, Senior."

"I see," Xue Yan sighed, "I'm not too unfamiliar with this Netherworld Monument."

"Oh?" Luo Li's eyes lit up. It seemed like there was a chance. "Senior, could you tell me?"

"Of course you can," Xue Yan frowned slightly, "but I don't know much about the Netherworld Monument. I first saw it among the gods."

His gaze was far away, as if he was reminiscing. "That was a few years before the war began. The Dark Realm suddenly became restless and invaded the gods. My clan followed the then-Lord Daling to suppress the Dark Realm. I also saw this Dark Realm treasure, the Netherworld Stele, in the air."

"Although the Dark Realm's strength is not as great as that of the gods, it should not be underestimated. In order to put an end to this once and for all situation and to prevent the gods from being harmed again, Lord Daling went to the Dark Realm alone."

"Not long after, the Netherworld Stele in the sky shattered, and we knew that Daling Lord had succeeded. As expected, Daling Lord returned to the gods not long after, severely injured the then-lord of the Dark Realm, and damaged the Netherworld Stele itself."

A trace of grief flashed across his eyes. "But facing the entire Dark Realm, Lord Daling was also accidentally injured. If not, how could the outcome of that battle be like this!"

Luo Li pursed her lips. It turned out that there was such a thing at that time.

It seems that the man took action at that time because he found out that Da was injured. What's more, it seems that the man colluded with the dark world, which led to the incident.

But now was not the time to think about these things. She frowned and asked, "Could it be that if I want to destroy the Netherworld Monument, I must start with the Lord of the Dark Realm?"

Xueyan exhaled, "At least as far as I know, yes."

He raised his head and glanced at the sky. "This is just the shadow of the Netherworld Monument. Even if we crush it into pieces, it will be able to revive quickly and be immortal."
