Chapter 739 The Altar (Forty-Three)



"He can't die! This must be a hoax! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

The blows struck the monster at the bottom of the pit again and again, causing the ground to shake and rocks to fall from the mountain walls, but no one appeared. Yuehua's immortal power was about to go berserk.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were in disarray, yet she never gave up attacking the monster at the bottom of the pit.

After the purple-clad figure self-destructed, the monster fell silent but did not perish; it still clung to life. The restraints that bound it remained completely still, everything proceeding as usual. The only difference was that the purple-clad figure was gone, vanished from within the monster's body.

Divine senses cannot detect it, and spiritual power and immortal power cannot penetrate it.

Yuehua never gave up, and she refused to accept the fact that Ziyi was no longer there.

When Xiang Wan appeared, her bloodshot eyes were all focused on her.

"It's you! It's all your fault! Give me back my life!"

The immortal power attacked Xiang Wan without hesitation, but was dispersed by another immortal power halfway through.

"Yuehua, that's enough!" Bai Xuan's voice came from behind Xiang Wan. "Why are you doing this?"

"He's gone, so why is she still alive?" Yuehua pointed at Wan, directing all her hatred at her.

"Where is my master?" Xiang Wan looked around and then focused her gaze on her feet.

"He's down here, go and keep him company."

Yuehua pointed at the monster below with one finger, but her eyes were fixed on Xiangwan.

She wanted to see what it was about the disciple whom Ziyi had so fiercely protected that made him want to make an exception for her!

Looking down at the monster below, riddled with holes yet still breathing, Xiang Wan jumped down without hesitation.

Even if only a wrecked body remains, she will bring him up!

Seeing her actions, Bai Xuan was stunned, and Yuehua was also stunned.

Then, Yuehua burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down her face, appearing almost delirious. "So that's how it is! I lost here! Ahahahahaha..."

Bai Xuan sighed, took out his jade pen and tapped it lightly in the air. Immediately, a golden light flew into Xiang Wan's body.

Xiang Wan clasped her hands together, golden light protecting them, and with a surge of spiritual energy, she forcefully pried open a slit in the monster's eye, and with a "whoosh," she darted inside.

Altar.

Lan Forty-Eight pulled out the flying sword that had been inserted into the gap in the pattern of the divine throne, and examined it closely. "What is this thing?"

A faint red liquid stained the flying sword; upon closer inspection, it emitted a delicate fragrance.

"Senior Brother Lan, there seems to be something here too."

Sui Xushan's disciple, dressed in the same clothes, came over and pointed out what he had discovered to Lan Sishiba.

"They're here too!"

"There's also under your feet!"

"They're all around!"

Those who remained at the base of the altar pointed around and exclaimed in surprise.

They were all people with cultivation, so they shouldn't have been so slow to react. But these things seemed to appear out of thin air. By the time they noticed them, the surroundings were already full of these things, and they seemed to be forming a pattern.

"Look at these patterns, what do they look like?"

Someone circled a small section of it and pointed it out to everyone.

The group gathered around, examining it closely.

"It resembles a living organism."

"No, it's a plant. Look, there are roots and stems here, and leaves over here."

"From this angle, it's not a plant at all, it's a human head!"

"The branches and leaves are intertwined, making it look like a pieced-together organism."

"No, that's not right either, it seems like..."

The group discussed amongst themselves, and the patterns on the foundation became increasingly clear, seemingly flowing slowly.

"How did this thing appear? Where did it go?"

Following the direction of the liquid flow in the pattern, the group slowly moved forward and finally discovered that it was all flowing towards the center of the pattern on the back of the god's chair.

The human figure in the center of the pattern gradually appeared, and the more you looked at it, the clearer the outline became, and the more familiar it seemed.

"This is……"

The crowd looked grim, because the person standing in the middle was a woman, and she had already left.

"How could it be her? Could this pattern be hinting at something?" Bai Siyuan didn't think it had anything to do with Xiang Wan. Perhaps it was because she had gone out that all the divine thrones displayed such a picture.

"Senior Bai, don't be fooled by her. So many predecessors have entered the ruins of the divine relic and returned unscathed, but this time is different. Perhaps she is the source of these changes. Maybe, with her here, all of this can be ended."

Some people put it euphemistically, but it was almost as if they wanted to trade Xiang Wan's life for theirs.

"What nonsense are you talking about? She is my personal disciple, the Purple-Clad Immortal Venerable Sui Xushan. It would be abnormal if she didn't have some ability to go out." Lan Forty-Eight retorted first.

As fellow disciples, he still had a good impression of Xiang Wan.

"Isn't Senior Brother Bai also a disciple of a Celestial Venerable? Does that mean that the disciple of Celestial Immortal Bai Xuan is inferior to the disciple of Celestial Immortal Zi Yi?"

When someone brought up Bai Siyuan as a counterargument, he had no choice but to speak up, saying, "I'm not as reckless as her."

The group awkwardly shut up; none of them were the type to risk their lives for even the slightest chance.

Silence fell over the throne for a moment, and a red figure quietly appeared on the human form.

Outside Suixu Mountain, the Yin Corpse Two-Faced Beast suddenly appeared. It was over ten zhang long and more than three zhang tall, spitting out streams of blackish-green viscous liquid that sizzled and emitted white smoke as it clung to the mountain-protecting array. At the same time, its disproportionately large hands repeatedly stabbed into the defensive array, causing the array to fluctuate.

At this moment, the Yin Corpse Two-Faced Beast had detached from the ground and could move freely. After being killed by Xiang Wan and Zi Yi, it quickly found corpses to replenish its body, and its rapid growth occurred during this period. This was because its abdomen to tail section was not only covered with the corpses of cultivators, but also with countless monsters glued together, which had become an integral part of the beast's living form. It used their feet as its legs, fused with their bodies as its flesh, controlled their movements, and digested their bodily fluids, turning them into its own weapons. One of these weapons was its ability to quickly dissolve spiritual energy barriers, and its dissolving speed was much faster than ordinary corrosion.

All around the protective array, creatures of all sizes launched a full-scale attack. If a monster was stunned by the backlash from the array, it would immediately be devoured by nearby creatures. Simultaneously, these creatures would grow larger.

So many monsters, it's enough to make your scalp tingle.

The cultivators hiding inside the formation used its power to kill monsters, but compared to the endless stream of monsters coming from outside, they were only killing a drop in the ocean, with absolutely no hope of victory.

As the formation grew thinner and thinner, Bai Xuan finally arrived with Yuehua.

When the immortal made his move, the power was extraordinary, and a large number of monsters outside the formation were immediately killed or injured.

The cultivators were greatly encouraged and joined the battle.

Forbidden area.

As Xiang Wan jumped into the giant beast's mouth, the flow of spiritual energy around her stopped, and even showed signs of being worn down.

She activated that mysterious substance, isolating herself from the surrounding deathly and evil aura, and descended.

Many of the chains around the area were broken, and a stench of blood blew erratically everywhere.

As you descend to the bottom, the black water beneath your feet flows everywhere, and a mountain of smoothed-out corpses appears and disappears in the black water.

Xiang Wan found a relatively high spot to stand, looked around, and suddenly noticed a faint light flashing by from the side.

She quickly conjured ice crystals and scooped up the glittering object.

It's the purple-clad woman's hairband!
