Chapter 253: Good guy, he poked a hole in the sky
"Brother Xiongxiong." Jiu looked at him worriedly.
"I'm fine." Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes. His originally deep eyes now seemed to contain the sea of stars.
He turned to look at the bronze gate where the demon's corpse was nailed, his eyes as cold as ten thousand years of black ice.
"Let's go, Jiu."
"Let's go meet the real owner behind this."
He supported Ajiu and walked towards the bronze gate where the demon's corpse was nailed.
“Pah…Pah…Pah…”
A burst of crisp applause suddenly came from the shadows of the hall.
"Wonderful, really wonderful."
A hoarse yet familiar voice sounded slowly, with a hint of playful admiration.
"I underestimated you. I didn't expect that even the ancestral formation controlled by the inner demon blood curse could be broken by you in this way. One of the most outstanding descendants of the Xiao family, and the other born with the soul 'key', you two are truly a match made in heaven."
As the words were spoken, a figure slowly walked out from the shadows of the main hall.
The man was still wearing a wide black robe that covered his entire body. The face hidden under the hood was unclear, but the cold and evil aura made Xiao Yu and Ajiu's pupils shrink suddenly.
It's him.
The black-robed guardian of the Blood Moon Valley with unfathomable strength.
"It's you." Xiao Yu protected Ajiu behind him.
"Yes, nice to see you again, Xiao Yu." The black-robed high priest seemed to be in a good mood. He even performed a strange courtesy towards Xiao Yu, "Let me introduce myself. You can call me High Priest."
"This king is not interested in your name." Xiao Yu's eyes were as if he was looking at a dead person. "This king only knows that today this is where you will be buried."
"Burial Ground," the high priest chuckled softly, his voice filled with disdain. "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, do you think that you're truly invincible just because you've been blessed by the remnant souls of your ancestors? Do you think that breaking this mere 'Ancestral Formation' is the equivalent of victory?"
He shook his head, a hint of pity in his tone.
"How naive! This is just an appetizer."
He slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes flashing scarlet light under his hood.
"I've been planning this for decades, so this isn't the only backup plan I have. If the 'Ancestor Formation' succeeds, that's great; if it doesn't, that's no big deal. Its purpose from the beginning was simply to buy time and... to provide the final sacrifice for the true ritual."
His eyes fell on the bronze gate where the demon's body was nailed by a stone spear.
"Look, the sacrifice is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon's body suddenly shrank without any warning, and all the blood in his body was drained away in an instant.
The corpse turned into fuel, and with a whoosh, black flames burned up, spreading along the stone spear to the entire bronze gate.
"Boom..."
The entire underground palace of the imperial mausoleum began to tremble violently.
With the bronze gate burning with black flames as the center, scarlet runes like blood vessels emerged from the ground and instantly covered the entire sacred road and the entire imperial mausoleum.
A core formation that is a hundred times larger and a thousand times more complex than the "Ancestors' Formation" was completely activated at this moment.
"Not good." Xiao Yu's face changed.
"It's too late."
The high priest laughed grimly.
He suddenly stretched out his right hand, formed his five fingers into claws, and stabbed it into his chest without hesitation.
“Puff.”
With a muffled sound, he actually pulled out a heart as black as ink from his chest.
"Use my blood and my soul as a guide, and sacrifice to all souls."
He held the black heart high.
"Welcome... Jiuyou's arrival."
"Bang."
The heart exploded in his hands.
The sticky, foul-smelling black heart blood sprinkled onto the core formation on the ground like a rainstorm.
“Sizzle…”
The entire formation suddenly burst into a deafening blood light.
The sky turned dark at this moment.
It was not the normal darkness of the night, but a pitch black darkness that seemed to swallow up even the light.
The wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and all sounds disappeared above the entire imperial mausoleum.
Immediately following.
“Hiss…”
A teeth-grinding sound, like cloth being torn apart by brute force, came from the sky above.
Xiao Yu and Ajiu looked up suddenly, and saw that in the center of the inky black sky, there was actually a huge black crack that was torn open.
The rift was hideous and twisted, with eerie purple lightning flickering around its edges. Deep within the rift lay nothingness.
It is like a scar in the sky, a door to an unknown and terrifying place.
"The Gate of the Netherworld."
Xiao Yu squeezed out these four words from between his teeth.
The little face of Ajiu behind him had already lost all color.
At the same time, in the capital.
On the observatory of the Imperial Master's Mansion, Chu Xuanyi was staring at the huge feng shui map of the imperial mausoleum with a frown on his face.
The light spots representing Xiao Yu and Ajiu in the picture have successfully arrived at the main hall.
"It seems that the prince and his men have successfully broken the 'Ancestors' Formation'." Xiao Yu, who was standing beside him, breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Chu Xuanyi's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Something's wrong," he muttered to himself, "It's too smooth. The enemy's plan can't be so easily..."
Before he could finish his words, something strange happened.
The entire observatory shook violently.
The lines on the feng shui map representing the entire imperial mausoleum's land veins all turned deep red at the same time.
"Xuan Yi, what's going on?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise.
Chu Xuanyi didn't answer him. He suddenly rushed out of the observatory and looked towards the direction of the Western Suburbs Imperial Mausoleum.
I saw that the sky over there was shrouded in a thick and impenetrable darkness.
And in the center of that darkness, a huge black crack was slowly opening.
The terrifying phenomenon of heaven and earth could be seen clearly even from dozens of miles away.
A terrifying pressure from another world descended over the capital from a great distance.
In an instant, the whole city was shocked.
Countless people woke up from their sleep, trembling in horror as they looked at the doomsday-like scene in the sky.
"Gate of... Netherworld..."
Chu Xuanyi's lips lost their color, his body trembled slightly, and for the first time, his eyes revealed an emotion called "fear."
"They...they actually succeeded."
The imperial mausoleum is located on the sacred path.
“Hehehe…”
The high priest opened his arms and let out a shrill laugh.
"See, Xiao Yu? This is the fate you cannot resist. This filthy world needs to be purified."
As he laughed wildly, there was finally movement in the "Gate of the Underworld" that spanned the sky.
A sound of footsteps like metal friction was heard.
Immediately afterwards, ghost soldiers wearing tattered ancient armor, holding rusty weapons, and with blue soul fire burning in their eyes, began to walk out of the door one after another.
They are densely packed, like a black tide pouring down from the sky.
Behind them followed ghost generals who were taller and had a more terrifying aura. They rode on bone horses and held huge axes in their hands. The evil aura emanating from their bodies was enough to freeze rivers.
This is the army of undead from the underworld.
Looking at the ghost soldiers and generals that were coming like a natural disaster, Xiao Yu's face became extremely solemn.
He slowly pulled Ajiu behind him.
"Ajiu, are you afraid?"
"No," Ah Jiu grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook his head vigorously, "As long as I'm with Brother Xiong Xiong, I'm not afraid of anything."
"good."
Xiao Yu took a deep breath, unleashing the ancestral dragon energy within him to its full potential. A dazzling golden light condensed behind him, transforming into the shadow of a majestic five-clawed golden dragon.
