Chapter 382: An Animal Among Animals

Ye Lin carried the Human Emperor Flag and charged to the top of the rift, thrusting the flag into the void before immediately activating the Spirit Detention skill!

The surface of the Human Emperor Flag unfurled violently, snapping in the wind, its golden patterns glowing like rows of golden dragons, radiating a brilliant light that instantly illuminated the pitch-black rift in the center of the blood-colored altar.

It was as if a powerful magnet had been tossed into a pile of iron filings.

Those blood shadows rushing out from the rift didn't even have time to react before they were directly pulled into the Human Emperor Flag; in just a few breaths' time, the number of soul bodies inside the flag had already broken the thousand mark!

"What kind of hellish thing is this?!"

Shijiao Yao was horrified; what lay behind this blood-colored altar was the Sacrificial God Prison of their Great Sang Empire, where the souls of the heroes who had died for the Great Sang Empire throughout the generations would enter to be worshipped by all the people of Sang.

Once the Sacrificial God Prison opened, all the soul bodies would surge out, and even those in the Blazing Sun Realm would have to avoid their edge, yet now, those incomparably powerful soul bodies in the Sacrificial God Prison were as fragile as paper in front of that flag.

Ye Nangue and the others from the Five Great Clans were also stunned; they had originally thought that the flag was just an evil artifact refined by the tiny nation of Sang, not worth mentioning.

But looking at it now, something was fundamentally wrong!

Even they could feel a thick aura of death emanating from the evil souls rushing out of the rift; even facing these evil souls themselves would be a perilous ordeal.

How could this be suppressed by a mere evil artifact?

And the most bewildered of all were the evil souls of the Sacrificial God Prison continuously rushing out of the rift.

Weren't they summoned here to slaughter the people of Great Xia?

How was it that as soon as they came out, they were immediately sucked into a flag?

The man carrying the flag was even muttering about how there was a crowd of people, a seat available, that everyone inside was equal, and that one could attain eternal life upon entering.

This... this isn't right, is it?

And just at the moment the blood-colored altar within the Heaven Refining Secret Realm opened.

Beyond the boundless ocean, on an island shaped like a giant green caterpillar, an old man with a full white beard opened his eyes, a bloodthirsty glint blooming in the depths of his gaze.

Before him gathered countless incomparably powerful job-changers; there were dozens of experts of the Third Realm alone.

They stood quietly guarding before the old man, as if waiting for something.

"The entrance to the Sacrificial God Prison has been successfully opened within the Heaven Refining Secret Realm; Shijiao Yao and the others have succeeded!"

No sooner had the white-bearded old man finished speaking than the crowd before him erupted in excited cheers.

"Hahahaha! Heaven truly aids our Great Sang! Our Great Sang Empire is indeed destined by fate!"

"Great Xia is finished! This time, we must wash them in blood!"

"Let me take the lead; I want to chop off the head of the Great Xia Human Emperor to use as a chamber pot!"

The once-silent crowd seemed to transform into bloodthirsty beasts at this moment, and the entire courtyard was filled with a thick, murderous aura.

The old man also stood up, his eyes surging with battle intent.

"Execute according to the original plan; the weather has turned cold, it is time for Great Xia to perish!"

Heaven Refining Secret Realm.

A flag-bearer stood alone against the ages, blocking the evil souls of the entire Sacrificial God Prison by himself.

Ye Lin brandished the Human Emperor Flag, happily detaining every evil soul that rushed out from the rift.

Worried that an evil soul with mental power exceeding his own might escape and be impossible to capture, Ye Lin even reached into his chest to squeeze his heart, forcing the Canglan Ring to boost his mental attributes.

It didn't matter if he suffered, felt tired, or was in pain; he absolutely could not let these evil souls get away.

"Scoundrel! Get out of my way!"

Shijiao Yao, having reacted, launched a direct attack on Ye Lin.

Fists, legs, elbows—all sorts of attacks rained down on Ye Lin like a violent storm, beating him until he spat out mouthfuls of blood and was left on the verge of death.

Yet no matter how Shijiao Yao attacked, even when he had beaten Ye Lin's body until it was riddled with holes like a tattered sack, Ye Lin still refused to retreat a single step.

"Don't underestimate the bond between me and these lovely evil souls, you bastard!" Ye Lin cursed angrily.

Shijiao Yao froze.

That guy... he's saying all my lines!

No! This cannot go on!

Shijiao Yao was anxious; if this continued, he feared all the soul bodies in the entire Sacrificial God Prison would be sucked dry by that great flag, and by then, what face would he have to return and face the people of the Great Sang Empire?

He, Shijiao Yao, would become a sinner, a sin so great that even ritual suicide could not repay it!

Thinking of this, a look of death appeared in Shijiao Yao's eyes.

He no longer tried to attack or block Ye Lin, but instead leaped, charging directly into the blood-colored altar.

Those evil souls, sensing the fragrance of flesh and blood, pounced directly onto Shijiao Yao, gnawing at his flesh.

Shijiao Yao endured the excruciating pain, his eyes turning red as he roared.

"Descendant Shijiao Yao, I invite all heroic ancestors to possess my body!"

Those evil souls seemed to receive some kind of guidance, beginning to frantically burrow into Shijiao Yao's body; for every one that entered, the look of pain on Shijiao Yao's face deepened.

His veins bulged all over his body, his muscles knotted, and beneath his skin, eerie lumps moved about constantly, as if he were about to explode at any second.

"Ah!!!"

Shijiao Yao couldn't help but let out a hysterical roar, and then his entire person was submerged by the evil souls.

Ye Lin suddenly felt a sense of heart-stopping dread.

At this moment, the Human Emperor Flag had already collected nearly five thousand soul bodies; he understood the principle of knowing when to quit, so Ye Lin put away the Human Emperor Flag.

He turned his head to look at the members of the Five Great Clans still trapped inside the blood-colored web.

"Uh, my uncle died, I have to rush back for the funeral, I'll be taking my leave now~"

Ye Nangue: "..."

Ye Zhenbei: "..."

The crowd also looked at the two brothers with strange expressions; if Ye Lin was truly the son of Ye Xueqing, wouldn't his uncle be the biological father of the two Ye brothers?

After Ye Lin finished speaking, he slipped away without a trace with a *whoosh*.

Before the crowd could even react to why Ye Lin had run so fast, a terrifyingly powerful fluctuation suddenly erupted from within the rift of the blood-colored altar!

That was... the aura belonging to the Bright Moon Realm!

The expressions of the people from the Five Great Clans changed wildly in an instant, some even turning deathly pale; they finally understood why Ye Lin had run so fast!

This guy is a total animal!

Just a moment ago, when there were benefits, he carried the flag and sucked them up endlessly, and now that the bomb had gone off, he expected them to take the hit?

The key was that this blood-colored web had just been strengthened by absorbing Ye Lin's blood, so they really couldn't escape!

He is truly an animal among animals, a Cao Shao-lin among Cao Shao-lins.

"That animal! When I get out, I will definitely kill him!" Ye Nangue let out an angry roar.

"Brother Ye, I agree; this is the first time I support your Ye family in cleaning house!" Jiang Wentian nodded repeatedly.

"If you need my help, Brother Ye, just say the word." Ji Yanyin gritted her teeth, her long legs trembling with rage.

"My Zhuge family is the same." Zhuge Yi nodded.

Seemingly sensing everyone's gaze, Xie Lihou raised his head.

"Why are you all looking at me? Ye Lin is from their Ye family; what does that have to do with my Xie family?"
