Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1527: Blood Sacrifice Initiated, True Monarch's Remnant Soul

At the same time, Zhao Qi and Su Muqing had already rushed over nearby, specifically targeting and killing those Cultivators who had been severely wounded by the “Five Elements Divine Thunder Talisman.”

The two moved swiftly and ruthlessly, showing no mercy. Life after life faded away in their hands.

In just a few moments, of the twenty or so Golden Core Realm Cultivators of the “Profound Ice Hall,” only five remained.

Four of them were currently crossing blows with Zhao Qi and Su Muqing.

On top of the Altar, blood light blossomed; the ritual was still ongoing, while Li Yunjing’s offensive was wide open and overwhelming. It didn’t take long before he hacked and wounded the purple-robed elder, staining the Altar with his blood and turning him into one of the Sacrificial Offerings.

“Courting Death!”

The purple-robed elder flew into a rage, forming seals with both hands. “Profound Ice Seals the Heavens!”

A terrifying chill swept across the entire Altar in an instant, and a thick layer of ice formed on the ground.

“Just you?”

Li Yunjing had long been prepared. The “Samadhi True Fire Talisman” suddenly exploded, transforming into blazing flames that neutralized the cold.

Having fought Cultivators of the “Profound Ice Hall” before, Li Yunjing had plenty of experience. “Samadhi True Fire” was absolutely a vicious method to counter the opponent’s Divine Techniques.

“Samadhi True Fire?”

The elder was startled, quickly dodging the flames, then cursed loudly, “You’re a remnant of ‘Huoyun Sect’?”

“A remnant of Huoyun Sect?”

Li Yunjing’s thoughts turned sharply, and he let out a cold laugh. “You realized that too late!”

“Boom!”

The “Boundary-Breaking Sword” came cleaving down, and the purple-robed elder had just barely managed to block this strike.

All of a sudden, from the sleeve of Li Yunjing’s left hand, a seven-colored radiance burst forth, piercing straight through the purple-robed elder’s chest in an instant!

The elder lowered his head in disbelief, staring at the bowl-sized bloody hole in his chest. The Golden Core within his body had been completely shattered by this sword!

“Impossible…”

Before the purple-robed elder finished speaking, his body collapsed with a thunderous crash, dead on the spot.

The four remaining Elders of the “Profound Ice Hall” were scared out of their wits and turned to flee.

How could Li Yunjing possibly let them go?

The “Boundary-Breaking Sword” in his hand flew out, transforming into a stream of light that cut all of them down!

In the blink of an eye, the entire Blood Sacrifice site was left with nothing but corpses strewn across the ground.

“Hurry up and clean the battlefield!”

Li Yunjing sheathed his long sword. “‘Profound Ice Hall’ will soon notice something’s wrong!”

If so many people died all at once and the “Profound Ice Hall” still didn’t react, then something would definitely be off.

Li Yunjing had to race against time.

Just then, a blue light suddenly flared in the center of the cold pool!

The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually turning into a pillar of light that shot straight into the Nine Heavens.

Within the light pillar, one could vaguely see the phantom of an Ice Crystal palace.

In the end, it descended above the Altar, where space began to twist, and a pitch-black vortex slowly formed.

The Yin Sha Qi outside the spatial passage suddenly began to gather toward the light pillar, as if drawn by some force.

It didn’t take long before the Altar collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Even more terrifying, that blue light pillar was continuously expanding, drawing in all the surrounding Yin Sha Qi and forming a massive vortex.

At the center of the vortex, a passage leading down into the depths of the earth could be vaguely seen.

“Is that the entrance to the Secret Realm?”

Zhao Qi stared at the scene before her in disbelief.

A pale hand suddenly stretched out from within the vortex, followed by a figure shrouded entirely in black mist slowly crawling out.

The person raised his head, revealing a face as white as paper and a pair of pitch-black eyes without pupils.

“Three thousand years…”

The black shadow let out a hoarse voice. “At last… someone… Blood Sacrifice…”

“Who are you?”

Li Yunjing guarded the two women behind him, asking coldly with great vigilance.

“They… were meant… to become… my… Sacrificial Offerings…”

The black shadow slowly raised a hand and pointed at the scattered remains all over the ground. “But now…”

He suddenly turned his gaze toward the three of them and grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs. “You… are more suitable…”

Before he finished speaking, dozens of black chains suddenly shot out from the vortex, streaking straight toward the three of them!

“What a joke! Just you?”

Li Yunjing let out a disdainful cold laugh. The “Boundary-Breaking Sword” unfolded in midair, and with several cracking sounds, those black chains were all severed under this Heavy Treasure.

“Boundary-breaking… Magical Treasure…”

The black shadow paused, seemingly stunned by Li Yunjing’s Magical Treasure.

Immediately after, boundless blood mist suddenly surged out from around him, turning into countless ferocious ghost faces that pounced toward Li Yunjing.

“Thunder of the Nine Heavens, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect!”

Li Yunjing’s Two-Handed Sword, the “Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword,” erupted with soaring Thunder Light along its blade, turning into hundreds and thousands of sword shadows that forced the boundless blood mist back several steps.

Taking advantage of this, he brought the “Boundary-Breaking Sword” in his right hand down in a vicious slash toward the black shadow.

“A mere remnant soul dares to act so wildly!”

Li Yunjing shouted in a deep voice. The “Boundary-Breaking Sword” burst with black radiance, and wherever its edge passed, fine cracks appeared in space itself.

“You… you’re still… a Golden Core Realm… Cultivator?”

The black shadow let out a shrill screech, hastily condensing a blood-colored Shield.

However, the “Boundary-Breaking Sword” was unstoppable, splitting the blood shield in half with a single stroke!

“Ah…”

A massive wound was opened across the black shadow’s chest, yet no blood flowed out—only thick black qi continuously seeped out.

He staggered backward, terror finally surfacing in his eyes. “What are you?”

Li Yunjing didn’t bother to answer. Forming a seal with his left hand, the “Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword” suddenly split into Five-Colored Sword Light, encircling the black shadow completely.

The Power of the Five Elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—mutually generating and restraining, formed a perfect Sword Array.

“Five Elements Exterminate Demons, annihilate!”

The Five-Colored Sword Light stabbed into the black shadow’s body at the same time, erupting with dazzling radiance.

The black shadow let out one last unwilling shriek. His body shattered inch by inch like a broken mirror, finally turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating.

“Junior! This seat will remember you!”

A thunderous roar came from within the vortex.

Immediately, the vortex shook violently and began rapidly shrinking.

“Not good, the Secret Realm is about to close!”

Zhao Qi exclaimed anxiously.

Li Yunjing made a snap decision. “Go! Let’s go in and take a look!”

Putting away his Treasure Sword, he grabbed one person in each hand and leaped into the vortex.
