Chapter 187.2 - Divine Soul Sprout
As soon as Ye Longsha’s body touched the blood-red metal plate underground, metal ropes shot up and bound her. The ropes carried a mysterious power that caused her body to rapidly swell and then quickly deflate. After repeating this process eight times, suddenly a burst of fire flashed underground. Ye Longsha’s clothes instantly turned into ashes, leaving her naked.
Then, the metal plate beneath her slid open, and a transparent crystal cylinder emerged, perfectly enclosing Ye Longsha inside. The crystal cylinder contained nearly blue-colored mysterious ice. This ice wouldn’t freeze an ordinary person to death, but even the most powerful experts feared being frozen by it. The pain was indescribable.
Ye Longsha was half-buried in the mysterious ice, screaming with her head tilted back, her delicate body trembling violently, covered in frost on her hair and skin.
Qi Bei could clearly see that her ample and firm bosom became even more erect, with her buds protruding due to the cold. He whistled and smirked, feeling proud. If he hadn’t been alert, he would have been the one suffering like this.
He didn’t expect that even after three years, this Gothic princess still held a grudge and wanted to repay him a thousandfold for the suffering she endured back then.
However, she ended up suffering the consequences herself.
After freezing in the ice cylinder for a while, the large crystal cylinder sank again, the metal plate closed, and the metal ropes that bound her loosened and retracted.
Watching Ye Longsha lying on the metal plate, her jade-like body twitching from time to time, Qi Bei shrugged and said to himself, “We’re still cooperating after all. Considering how pitiful you are, I’ll help you a little.”
He jumped down and covered her naked body with a robe, then turned her over.
“Qi… Qi Bei… I… I’m not done with you…” Ye Longsha’s lips turned blue from the cold, but she still stuttered.
“I don’t want to be done with you either. If you provoke me again, I’ll have my way with you first and then kill you,” Qi Bei squinted and said, placing his palm on her lower abdomen, releasing warm internal energy to drive away the cold.
Ye Longsha opened her mouth, turned her head away, and Qi Bei’s warm hand pressed against her belly button. Warm energy flowed from her lower abdomen, spreading throughout her body, and the area that received direct stimulation was her forbidden place. The cold disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable pleasure, causing her to involuntarily become moist. Gradually, Ye Longsha felt her body becoming hotter and hotter, and the lower part of her body had already become flooded.
“Ah…” She opened her mouth, but her voice was seductive, making even herself blush.
Qi Bei had long sensed Ye Longsha’s embarrassment, but mischievously, he didn’t stop. He pretended not to know that the coldness inside her body had already been expelled.
The internal energy of the Divine Dragon Art within Qi Bei’s body had reached its bottleneck and was on the verge of a breakthrough. As a result, it produced an extremely rich Yang energy, which inherently had a certain aphrodisiac effect on women.
The attraction between Yin and Yang in the world is an eternal truth. In this way, Ye Longsha couldn’t help but experience the indescribable pleasure she was ashamed to talk about.
“That’s enough, stop,” Ye Longsha took a deep breath and said.
Qi Bei withdrew his palm and didn’t continue. He had important matters to attend to, and the Yang energy had a tendency to transform into Yang fire. He didn’t want to play with fire at this moment.
Ye Longsha tightly wrapped herself in Qi Bei’s robe and stood up, glaring at him fiercely. But at this moment, her gaze didn’t appear hostile; instead, it carried a hint of coquettishness.
She didn’t say anything, and Qi Bei didn’t know where she pressed, but a gentle breeze emanated from the underground pit, lifting her up and returning her to the secret passage.
At that moment, the energy stones embedded on the metal plates in the pit lit up. Qi Bei knew that the 800-year-old grand ceremony of the Nord family aboveground had already begun.
Aboveground was the ancestral tomb of the Nord family, where nearly 30,000 members of the Nord family sat in concentric circles, repeating a cryptic ritual under the leadership of Kurt Nord.
This sound wave reverberated over the ancestral tomb, and strands of imperceptible energy escaped from the rows of ancestral tablets, only to be sucked into the underground by a strange force.
Outside the Nord ancestral tomb, the Light Temple, the Temple of Life, the disciples of the five Holy Lands, and many unknown figures from major forces all looked towards the ongoing ceremony in the Nord family ancestral tomb.
However, from the expressions in their eyes, even the people from the two major temples and the five Holy Lands were somewhat puzzled and couldn’t understand why they should pay such attention to the Nord family’s 800-year-old grand ceremony.
Princess Ming Yue was among them, and by her side was the recently arrived Eighteenth Elder Yao Rao, who had just rushed over from the Light Temple.
“I don’t understand,” Ming Yue said.
Yao Rao glanced at her and said, “Over the years, the once-in-a-decade calamity of darkness has always revolved around the Golden Leaf Imperial City as the epicenter. Now, some people suspect that the Nord family is causing trouble behind the scenes. This 800-year-old grand ceremony is meant to gather the dark power accumulated by the calamity of darkness and awaken the forces of the Netherworld.”
Ming Yue was taken aback, “This… it can’t be true.”
“I also think it’s unlikely, but some people believe it,” Yao Rao said, glancing at the Chief Judge Yan Shengyi, who was fully enveloped in the Holy Armor of Light beside her.
Yan Shengyi remained silent. Whether she believed it or not didn’t matter. The key was that she had to execute the orders from above.
Meanwhile, on a hill not far from the Nord family ancestral tomb, two figures concealed themselves in the shadows, gazing in the direction of the ancestral tomb.
“Young Master, it seems that the elders of the temple don’t want the people below to know the truth,” the figure behind, a shadow, said. He was referring to the true temple.
“The incident with Lilith ten thousand years ago was a shame for the Light faction. They only tell the people below about the glory of the light faction and never mention such embarrassing matters,” the young man said indifferently.
At that moment, a faint blood-colored light enveloped the Nord family ancestral tomb.
“It has begun!” the young man said, slightly startled.
“Qi Bei, he has already entered the Nord family ancestral tomb. How is it that none of these powerful individuals inside have noticed?” the shadow said in surprise.
….
“It has begun? Qi Bei is the core of the blood sacrifice formation? When did he enter the Nord family ancestral tomb?” Yan Shengyi exclaimed in shock.
Yao Rao heard Qi Bei’s name and a hint of concern flashed in her lowered gaze. No matter what, she would fight anyone who harmed her man
…
“It has begun? What’s going on?” In the underground palace, an old man wearing a skeletal golden robe was getting furious.
“Elder White Bone, what do we do now?” asked Emperor Han Mo.
“At this point, we can only follow the rules,” the old man said with a cold snort.
“What rules?” Han Mo asked.
“Once the blood sacrifice formation is activated, it will stimulate the energy left by Lilith on the ancestral spirit tablets of the Nord family, thereby awakening the divine seed within Qi Bei’s soul. In this situation, even a Saint-level powerhouse who forcibly enters will only end up crushed to pieces. However, fully awakening the divine seed requires a process, and during this process, there are three opportunities to destroy the blood sacrifice formation,” the old man explained.
“What will happen if it’s destroyed?” Emperor Han Mo continued to ask.
“If it’s destroyed, the divine seed and the Soul Seal are both invaluable treasures. A Saint-level powerhouse who absorbs the divine seed can immediately advance to the Divine-level and become a deity, while the Soul Seal is an essential item for our dark faction. Gathering all nine nether seals opens the gates of the Netherworld,” the old man said.
…
Qi Bei sat cross-legged in the underground pit of the ancestral tomb, and a faint red mist emanated out of nowhere. As soon as it appeared, it swiftly penetrated his brow like iron to a magnet.
Qi Bei could sense that a golden seed was slowly rising from the depths of his sea of consciousness, absorbing the infiltrating red mist. Within the red mist, there seemed to be a peculiar power, causing the golden light on the seed to become more and more radiant, faintly revealing a ripple of life.
As the red mist was absorbed more and more, the golden seed began to expand.
Qi Bei furrowed his brow, feeling his head becoming increasingly heavy, as if someone was continuously pouring mercury into it. As the golden light on the seed grew brighter and brighter, a golden glow already penetrated from Qi Bei’s brow, as if he had grown an eye capable of emitting golden lasers.
Gradually, the blood-colored mist surged in faster and became denser.
At this moment, the golden seed began to tremble violently, causing Qi Bei to experience a splitting headache.
Suddenly, the golden seed cracked open, and a sprout of divine soul emerged.
