Chapter 801: Infiltrating the Underground Palace

This was an underground palace filled with boundless majesty, every hall exuding a terrifying aura like the temples of the gods.

There was no sunlight in this realm; it was eerily gloomy, with icy waves rippling through the air, somewhat dreadful.

Yang Tian's figure appeared here, and the sight before him left him somewhat stunned. The underground palace was unimaginably vast, and the resources the魔族 must have spent to build it were terrifying.

The underground palace stretched endlessly, with dark clouds shrouding the void, and some halls emitted overwhelming auras, indicating that formidable experts were stationed within.

"Greetings, Second Divine Maiden!" Upon seeing the arriving woman, the elderly gatekeepers around knelt in reverence, extremely respectful.

In the魔族, the Divine Son and Divine Maiden held very high status; these individuals all flowed with divine blood and were unquestionably great figures of the魔族.

Yang Tian nodded slightly, looking satisfied, swept his gaze over a few魔族 experts, then turned and walked away.

His eyes scanned the surroundings as his mind tensed. This was a den of dragons and tigers; the slightest carelessness could lead to being shaken to death.

Some魔族 people passed by nearby, but they were very afraid of this figure tightly wrapped in a black robe; some even kept their distance.

"Hope I won't be discovered by some old monsters," Yang Tian thought as he pressed on, his nerves on edge. Though his分身术 was flawless, he still didn't know the habits of魔族 women well enough; if questioned, he would surely be exposed.

After walking for a while, he frowned slightly, sensing a very fierce aura, heavy with resentment.

Seeing the scene before him, Yang Tian's pupils involuntarily contracted. Ahead, a terrifying sight was unfolding.

In front was an altar, glowing with blood-red light, exuding a bloodthirsty aura. The altar was about ten zhang high, its rocks radiating blood light as if cast from fresh blood.

Above the altar was a vast blood-red vortex, within which illusory human heads floated, emitting endless resentment and an extremely heavy baleful aura.

The vortex continuously dripped fresh blood, and every so often, the blood-red altar grew a bit taller. It was a horrifying sight, and even Yang Tian couldn't help but shiver.

Some魔族 figures nearby held jade bottles and poured blood into the vortex, thereby enhancing the altar's power.

"What are they doing?" Yang Tian's pupils tightened. This was all blood; how much blood would it take to form that terrifying vortex?

The illusory human heads were clearly the floating souls of powerful beings, roaring in unwillingness, their resentment terrifying.

"Are they using the blood of human experts to build this altar?" Yang Tian clenched his fists, a surge of anger swirling in his heart.

How much blood had been used to build this ten-zhang altar? What were they planning?

"Uncle Xiao, what is this? A blood sacrifice altar?" Yang Tian couldn't help but awaken Yang Xiao's soul to take a look.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao's soul power quietly seeped out a thread. When he saw the blood-red altar, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "This is the Blood God Altar!"

"What is this altar used for?" Seeing Yang Xiao's loss of composure, Yang Tian couldn't help but ask.

"I've seen a hundred-zhang version of this altar before. The魔族 used the Blood God Altar to summon a terrifying expert, said to be a trace of the will of the Blood God from the荒古 era, extremely powerful!"

"It can summon a god?" Yang Tian's eyes widened. This thing was too formidable; it could actually summon a god.

"Building a Blood Demon Altar requires slaughtering ten million living beings!" Yang Xiao's face darkened. Such methods were too evil; it was essentially a sacrifice.

Yang Tian's heart twitched. Ten million living beings equaled the population of a large city. Weren't they afraid of divine retribution?

"This altar is not only a Blood God Altar but also a Slaughter Altar, both used by the魔族 to harm living beings," Yang Xiao sighed.

"These damned魔族! Though this altar is only ten zhang, who knows how many lives it has taken," Yang Tian growled.

"The hundred-zhang version isn't the most terrifying. In ancient times, they built a thousand-zhang Blood God Altar, said to have manifested the Blood God in the human world," Yang Xiao murmured.

That was a terrifying era; the魔族 slaughtered all living beings, and the outer realm great sects trembled. In that great calamity, not only humans suffered heavy losses, but even the outer realm great sects were devastated.

Hearing Yang Xiao's murmurs, Yang Tian now understood that the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Sea Array he had seen was just child's play. A thousand-zhang Blood God Altar required billions of living beings to build, bringing about boundless slaughter.

"When I step into the supreme realm, I'll suppress these damned魔族 in a space, never to emerge!" Yang Tian roared inwardly, then realized how laughable his thought was.

A mere帝君 daring to utter such words—though his courage was commendable, the difficulty was even greater than reaching the supreme realm.

According to what the strange stone said, the ancient魔族 had already emerged in his era and had persisted to the present, possessing the power to shake heaven and earth. Their clan's experts were evidently formidable.

Not to mention the existence of the Demon Lord. The White-Robed Supreme could not completely eradicate those gods and demons, let alone the Demon Lord, who was likely on the same level as the Supreme.

Just as Yang Tian was observing, a cold gaze locked onto his body.

Sensing this gaze, Yang Tian frowned and followed the divine light to a young man. When he recognized him, a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

This was the Divine Demon Body. Back when Yang Tian was in the Li family's ancestral land, this person had struck fiercely, severely wounding Yang Tian, and later on Divine God Mountain, he had nearly killed Yun'er.

"Hmph, at the帝君 level, don't let me catch you!" Sensing the Divine Demon Body's cultivation, Yang Tian's eyes shot out a cold divine radiance.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, his gaze suddenly contracted. When he saw this woman, his expression darkened.

"Li Qingxue!" Yang Tian growled inwardly, extremely surprised that this enchantress-like woman was actually Li Qingxue. She hadn't died?

"Wasn't her Dao heart broken back then? Unexpectedly, she didn't die and instead broke through to the Great Ability realm," Yang Tian sneered inwardly, sensing her cultivation.

Li Qingxue had indeed gone mad back then, but afterward, she was taken away by the Divine Demon Body.

"If you had known this would happen, why did you do that back then?" Seeing her current state, Yang Tian sighed inwardly.

Her former Dao heart was to become a lofty Divine Maiden, but now she had fallen to being a plaything of the魔族. Truly, man proposes, heaven disposes.

"It seems Li Yulan probably hasn't died either; after all, he has divine blood flowing in his veins," Yang Tian mused, touching his nose, then turned and walked away.

According to the memories Yang Xiao had obtained, the魔族's palace was deep within, likely hiding Yun'er's supreme yin origin.

The deeper he went, the more altars Yang Tian discovered. When he saw a hundred-zhang altar, his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"It seems they've been planning for a long time," he clenched his fists. His gaze then fell on a majestic hall, its plaque inscribed with the words "Second Divine Maiden."

Scanning the surroundings, he saw two servants standing on either side, clearly guarding the entrance.

A figure in a black robe approached, and sensing this aura, both servants knelt.

Yang Tian nodded slightly and stepped inside. Entering the gate, it was a very spacious hall with many small doors.

"An undying old monster's collection is probably very rich," a smile appeared in his eyes as Yang Tian swaggered toward the secret chamber.
