Chapter 405: Destroying the Altar, the Blood-Colored Jade Bead

The screams came precisely from the direction of the Altar.

Wang Jianqiang looked toward the Altar.

Three loose Cultivators at the Qi Refining stage had already been thrown onto the Altar by three people.

A dense red light was erupting from the Altar.

Under the shroud of the red light, the bodies of the three were being melted into crimson blood at an astonishing speed and absorbed by the Altar.

In just a brief moment.

The three human figures on the Altar had already vanished.

And the blood the three had turned into was completely devoured by the Altar.

Under the insight of the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

Wang Jianqiang could see clearly.

After the thick blood merged into the Altar, it transformed into a stream of blood-colored power, shooting forward from beneath the ground.

Due to the distance being too great, the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze could not discern it clearly.

He could only see a vast expanse of blood light like an ocean.

And that blood-colored power from the Altar flowed into that vast blood light, just like a river merging into the sea.

At the same time.

He also saw blood light from several other directions converging into the ocean-like blood light.

Clearly.

There was more than one Altar like the one before him.

While Wang Jianqiang was observing the distance.

The actions of those three people in front of the Altar did not stop.

They continuously threw Cultivators onto the Altar.

The screams on the Altar never ceased.

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment and stealthily moved toward the direction of that ocean-like blood light.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn later.

A massive Altar appeared in his field of vision.

Compared to the small Altar he had seen earlier with a diameter of less than one zhang, this Altar had a diameter of over a hundred zhang, resembling a behemoth.

The ocean-like blood light he had seen earlier was right beneath this Altar.

At this moment, five figures were suspended above the Altar.

Two men and three women.

One of them was a middle-aged woman, and when Wang Jianqiang saw her appearance clearly, his gaze could not help but flicker.

This woman was...

Song Qiuyue's master!

He looked at the other four and secretly thought, "As expected."

These people were precisely those Supreme Elders of Xuanqing Palace who were on good terms with Song Qiuyue's master.

At this time, the five had already lost consciousness, as if only their shells remained.

Strands of blood-colored energy continuously overflowed from the Altar, merging into the bodies of the five.

Seeing this scene.

Wang Jianqiang could not help but recall the Blood Sacrifice Technique he obtained after killing the Ye Clan Head, Ye Zhenshan, when he first went to Black Water City to complete a mission upon being promoted to an Outer Sect Disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

The two clearly had many similarities.

However, this Blood Puppet Art was even more powerful and cruel!

According to the intelligence he had obtained.

Among the five, besides Song Qiuyue's master who was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the cultivation of the other four was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Yet now.

The aura on the five had already surpassed that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Perfection Cultivator.

It was foreseeable.

Before long, the five would be completely refined into powerful Blood Puppets with strength comparable to a Will Cultivator!

Wang Jianqiang's expression turned grave.

The speed at which this Blood Puppet Art created puppets was too fast.

It must be destroyed.

Otherwise, the Small Heavenly Spirit Array alone would absolutely not be able to stop Xuanqing Palace!

Thinking of this.

His gaze moved downward and landed on the Altar.

A moment later.

His eyes flashed.

The materials used to cast this Altar were of a very high grade; once this Altar was broken.

It would be very difficult for Xuanqing Palace to gather enough materials to rebuild it in a short time.

The Blood Puppet Plan would be broken.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

However, he did not strike immediately.

According to the information left behind by Song Qiuyue's master.

The envoy of the mysterious force collaborating with Xuanqing Palace usually resides in this underground space.

But as he flew along the way, he did not discover the other party.

Had they gone out temporarily?

Or were they hiding in some concealed place he had not yet perceived?

The other party's strength is formidable.

Wang Jianqiang dared not be the slightest bit careless.

He conducted a thorough search of this underground space.

Only after discovering that the other party was indeed not in this underground space did he decide to act.

He returned to the place where the giant Altar was located.

This time, without the slightest hesitation, he chose to strike directly.

His figure flashed.

He appeared above the Altar.

He held nothing back.

He threw a punch.

A scorching, violent, and dazzling punch force erupted.

On the five-colored Altar, a layer of First-layer Spirit Light emerged, attempting to resist.

However, this punch from Wang Jianqiang was not a random attack.

The spot he attacked was precisely the weakest point of the defensive Array outside the Altar.

Crack!

The Spirit Light had just emerged when it was shattered by the violent punch force.

Immediately following.

The Altar was submerged by the scattering power.

The sound of collapse rang out.

When the chaotic power subsided, the entire Altar had been razed to the ground.

In mid-air.

Following the collapse of the Altar, the eyes of the five semi-finished Blood Puppets suddenly opened, all looking at Wang Jianqiang in unison.

A flash of human-like coldness flickered in the eyes of Song Qiuyue's master.

As red lips parted, an angry man's voice was transmitted.

"Thief, how dare you ruin this seat's plan."

"You are courting death!"

Before the words had finished.

Blood light surged on the five Blood Puppets, and they all charged at Wang Jianqiang together.

Wang Jianqiang smashed out a punch.

The five incoming blood-colored attacks collapsed instantly, and the tyrannical punch force landed on the five Blood Puppets, sending them all flying away.

Song Qiuyue's master stabilized his figure first.

Looking at Wang Jianqiang, his face was stiff, but a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes, "Who are you?"

The other party's attack just now actually contained three types of power: physical power, Spirit Flame Power, and Five Elements Spirit Power!

Physical power and Spirit Flame Power were one thing.

What the hell is Five Elements Spirit Power?

Since when could a Five Elements Spiritual Root also form a Nascent Soul?

Wang Jianqiang would not be foolish enough to chat with the other party at such a juncture.

It was obvious that a strand of Spirit Sense had been planted in these Blood Puppets.

Who knew if the other party's true body had received the news and was rushing here at this moment.

Before the other party's exclamation had faded, his attack was already unleashed once more.

He pressed his palm forward.

Monstrous blue flames surged out, instantly enveloping the five Blood Puppets.

Under the scorching flames.

The five Blood Puppets began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How bold!"

A look of shock and anger flashed in the eyes of Song Qiuyue's master.

A surge of Will Power emerged, forcing back the Spirit Flame around his body.

He flew out from the raging flames.

However, the Will Power he had left in this Blood Puppet was limited, and he could only preserve himself.

He could not look after the other four Blood Puppets.

After he escaped, the other four Blood Puppets were completely incinerated and vaporized.

Seeing this scene, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

He reached out his palm toward the place where the Altar had collapsed.

The center of the ruins suddenly exploded.

A Jade Bead wreathed in blood light flew out from underground.

He pointed his finger at the Jade Bead.

The Jade Bead suddenly hovered in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang's pupils constricted.

To others, this Jade Bead might just look like an ordinary blood-colored bead.

But under the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

He saw a dense ocean of blood!

At the instant the Jade Bead paused in mid-air.

A beam of blood-colored light shot out from the bead.

As if piercing through the void.

Wang Jianqiang was enveloped by it without the slightest reaction.

The next moment.

He only felt an irresistible force surge forth.

Pulled by this power, his body flew toward the Jade Bead uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, he was swept up by the blood-colored light and pulled into the bead together with it.
