Chapter 2211 Blood Sacrifice, Ancient Miracle

An ancient celestial phantom opened its enormous mouth and swallowed a powerful early-stage Celestial Immortal whole.

That early-stage Celestial Immortal expert only had time to let out a miserable scream.

His physical body and essence all turned into a cloud of blood mist.

With a whoosh, it was sucked into Tianyuan Valley by a mysterious force.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan and Bai Zhi's expressions changed drastically.

"Oh no, this is a blood sacrifice!"

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, this is no ordinary blood sacrifice, but an ancient one. Moreover, it requires a True Immortal with a cultivation level of Heavenly Immortal or above to perform the blood sacrifice. I don't know which heartless bastard would set up such an evil formation here!"

Bai Zhi cursed angrily.

But his speed suddenly increased at that moment.

In an instant, it rushed from beside Chen Xuan to a distance of more than ten feet in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was stunned.

With a thought, the Thunder Wings were activated.

A thunderous roar followed.

Chen Xuan vanished from his spot in a flash, accompanied by a burst of lightning.

In an instant, he surpassed Bai Zhi by a large margin.

As for the other cultivators behind the two, they also realized what was happening and fled in panic.

In just a short while, all the cultivators were divided into two groups.

The first part consists of the Tianhuang Immortal Sect, Yaoguang Cave, and clever rascals like Chen Xuan.

These people were among the first powerful individuals to make a move.

As they retreated, they happened to witness the shattering of the ancient celestial array.

That is why they are far from the ancient celestial array.

It also makes escaping easier.

Therefore, none of the true immortals in the first part have perished to this day.

As for the second part, it consists of the powerful individuals who made their moves after Chen Xuan and the others.

They thought that by making their move last, they could secure an excellent position to enter Tianyuan Valley.

Unexpectedly, they were outmaneuvered.

It became the object of blood sacrifice for the phantom image of ancient celestial phenomena.

Those piercing screams came from the mouths of these people, sending chills down one's spine.

"Ah, what on earth are these things? They're terrifying! Even I, with my late-stage Celestial Immortal cultivation, can't withstand them!"

"Look, Fellow Daoist Lin has turned into a cloud of blood mist so quickly. Let's hurry up and escape."

"Damn it, those people from Yaoguang Cave seem to have known all along that this would happen after the ancient celestial formation shattered, right? They're treating us like food!"

"Fellow Daoist, what's the use of talking about these things now? It's more important to hurry up and escape!"

The True Immortals in the second part were now in complete chaos.

In order to avoid being sacrificed by the phantoms of those ancient celestial phenomena, they fled in panic.

Everyone pushed their speed to the limit.

Even so, some unlucky souls were swallowed up by the ancient celestial phantoms that caught up with them before they could escape far, and lost their lives.

However, Chen Xuan and the others still dared not be careless.

They only stopped after they had run more than a hundred miles in one go.

At this moment, even the Jade Ink Saintess and the Cage Saint Son, who were at the forefront, stopped on a desolate mountain, their eyes warily fixed on the ancient celestial phantoms in the distance.

Wow!

Chen Xuan retracted his Thunder Feather Wings and had just steadied himself on a mountaintop when he saw Bai Zhi swiftly land beside him.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, the quality of your flying magic weapon is really quite good. Its speed is even a few points faster than my time shuttle."

Although Bai Zhi said this, Chen Xuan could not see any envy on his face.

This also means that Bai Zhi was just saying it offhand.

If it were a real speed contest, Chen Xuan knew that even if he pushed his Thunder Feather Wings to their limit, he might not be able to catch up with Bai Zhi.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Bai is joking. My flying magic weapon is nothing more than the most ordinary magic weapon!"

Chen Xuan smiled indifferently.

Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't want to talk more about the Thunder Feather Wings in his possession, Bai Zhi naturally didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, both of their gazes turned to the distant sky.

Suddenly, figures appeared, rushing frantically from the void.

In just a short while, it landed on a nearby hilltop.

Chen Xuan's divine sense swept over these people at lightning speed.

It was discovered that none of these people were strong enough to be in the second tier.

"As expected, Saintess Yu Mo and the others knew all along that a blood sacrifice would occur after the ancient celestial formation was shattered. What a clever scheme!" Chen Xuan sneered inwardly, but on the surface, his expression remained unchanged.

Soon, his divine sense rapidly descended into the distance.

The True Immortals in the second part were seen frantically fleeing for their lives.

However, most of them, the true immortals, had already been sacrificed by the ancient dragon and elephant phantoms that had caught up from behind.

The ancient dragon-elephant phantom opened its mouth and swallowed a celestial being whole.

Soon, the True Immortal who had been swallowed by the ancient dragon-elephant phantom had no time to resist and turned into a cloud of blood mist, falling into the depths of Tianyuan Valley.

After examining it carefully for a while, Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

"These ancient dragon-elephant phantoms must be the divine souls of the ancient dragon-elephants. Although these ancient dragon-elephant divine souls no longer have physical bodies to support them, their combat power is still extremely strong, which is truly incredible!"

Chen Xuan sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi immediately laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this. These are not ordinary ancient dragon and elephant phantoms. They are ancient dragon and elephant phantoms that have been refined through special secret techniques. They have completely merged with the ancient dragon and elephant formation."

"If I'm not mistaken, our attack just now did not pose any threat to the Ancient Dragon Elephant Formation. Rather, the Ancient Dragon Elephant Formation automatically activated its blood sacrifice mode after sensing the blood energy."

Chen Xuan's heart sank suddenly.

The Ancient Dragon and Elephant Formation is an ancient formation.

It's unknown how many tens of thousands of years it has existed.

Logically speaking, such an ancient formation should have been incredibly powerful when it was first set up.

As time goes by, its power will be much less than before.

Judging from the current situation, the power of the ancient Dragon Elephant Formation is still formidable.

This is enough to show that someone is constantly repairing this formation.

At the same time, it also means that the danger within this ancient dragon and elephant formation is far greater than imagined.

"It seems I underestimated the dangers in Tianyuan Valley. No wonder the Tianhuang Immortal Sect sent hundreds of Heavenly Immortal level experts here all at once."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, having already made up his mind that if he found the True Immortal Refining Divine Technique, he would immediately leave Tianyuan Valley.

He will not participate in any subsequent matters.

boom!

In the void, terrifying explosions rang out continuously.

The True Immortals in the second part were repeatedly sacrificed with blood.

However, the ancient dragon and elephant phantoms that had been chasing down the true immortals gradually disappeared.

Just one hour later, the entrance to Tianyuan Valley was completely calm again.

Those who had escaped death all breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Chen Xuan realized that most of the True Immortals who attacked in the second part had perished, except for a few who managed to escape by chance.

Of the original several thousand cultivators, less than a third have gathered here.

Among them, Yaoguang Cave and Tianhuang Immortal Sect became the two most powerful forces here.

People like Chen Xuan and Bai Zhi have been completely put at a disadvantage.

Of course, in a one-on-one fight, those guys with formidable combat power like Chen Xuan would definitely have the advantage.

"After all this commotion, the blood sacrifice should be over. This ancient dragon-elephant formation probably won't be closed anytime soon. It's time for us to enter Tianyuan Valley."

Bai Zhi's gaze swept across the ancient Dragon Elephant Formation in the distance, but his expression remained calm.

It was as if he hadn't seen at all the scenes of so many True Immortals being sacrificed with blood.

Chen Xuan remained calm.

After all, this is the true immortal realm.

Cold-bloodedness has become the dominant theme here.

Any pity or mercy will only hasten your own demise.

Only by being careful and cautious can one live longer.

"set off!"

At that moment, the Jade Ink Saintess suddenly waved her hand, leading all the Yao Guang Cave experts directly into the Ancient Dragon Elephant Formation.

Immediately following behind were the bandit immortals of Yaoguang Cave and the powerful figures of Tianhuang Immortal Sect.

Strangely, no one was willing to follow behind these powerful forces at this moment, especially since Chen Xuan was a lone wolf.

Only after all the experts from the Tianhuang Immortal Sect and Yaoguang Cave had entered did they set off.

Chen Xuan and Bai Zhi, on the other hand, seemed to be in no hurry at all.

They stood calmly in place.

Seeing more and more True Immortals entering Tianyuan Valley without any abnormalities occurring, the two tacitly shot off together towards Tianyuan Valley.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, don't forget our agreement."

Bai Zhi reminded Chen Xuan as he walked.

"Haha, with your strength, if you are unable to escape from Tianyuan Valley, I'm afraid I'm powerless to help you. But rest assured, if there's anything I can do to help you within my capabilities, I certainly won't hesitate," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Multiple friends have multiple roads.

Chen Xuan couldn't figure out Bai Zhi's origins.

So far, Bai Zhi has shown him no malice whatsoever.

Chen Xuan couldn't interpret this goodwill with his own malice.

"Haha, with Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen's words, I'm completely relieved!"

As they spoke, the two appeared near the ancient celestial formation.

Chen Xuan cautiously released his divine sense and carefully examined the surrounding area.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual nearby, he and Bai Zhi exchanged a glance before cautiously moving forward.

Wow!

Chen Xuan's footsteps had just entered the ancient celestial formation.

A terrifying aura suddenly rushed towards him.

Caught off guard, Chen Xuan suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.

In a hurry, he forced himself to circulate the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique to completely dispel the discomfort.

However, Bai Zhi, who came with him, was not so lucky.

At this moment, he was covering his ears in obvious pain, as if he had experienced some horrific ordeal.

"Could this be... a hallucination?"

Chen Xuan cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

After confirming that he and Bai Zhi were not in any danger despite entering the ancient celestial formation, he snorted coldly at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi, who was tormented by pain and unable to break free, was instantly awakened by Chen Xuan's cold shout.

Looking at Chen Xuan gratefully, he said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen. This ancient celestial formation has actually been set up with ancient divine relics. It is thanks to your ability to restrain these ancient divine relics that I am in such a terrible state right now."

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Bai, what is an ancient divine miracle?"

"The so-called ancient miracles can be understood as illusions from ancient times. For example, the terrifying attack we just suffered was an illusion. If we are trapped by an ancient miracle, it will not be so easy for us to escape."

"So it was an ancient illusion? No wonder..."

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

At this moment, however, he dared not be careless.

With a thought, he secretly activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye, carefully observing everything around him.

Soon, Chen Xuan discovered several corpses of True Immortals who had entered the Ancient Celestial Phenomenon Formation before them, several hundred feet away.

Many of them were powerful figures from the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect.

"These people must have been unable to withstand the attack of the ancient divine relic and died from complete loss of mind. Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, we must be careful. We must not allow the ancient divine relic to corrupt our minds!"

As Bai Zhi walked, he reminded Chen Xuan, his expression becoming unusually solemn.

They only waited for half an hour for the two to walk forward.

Just as they were about to leave the area covered by the ancient celestial array, Chen Xuan and Bai Zhi stopped at the same time.

Their wary gazes turned in unison to the large group of True Immortals in the distance.

It turned out to be the powerful figures from Yaoguang Cave, Feixian, and Tianhuang Immortal Sect who had entered before them.

For some reason, these people were standing still, looking extremely wary.

"This is……"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

Soon, a bad feeling suddenly surfaced from the depths of his heart.
