Chapter 1195: Entering the Altar

Looking at that Lone Peak, which pierced straight into the sky like a sharp sword, he could not help but sigh at what kind of supernatural power the Ancient Gods of old possessed to be able to pull up mountains and rivers.

But even they had exhausted the Divine Power of over ten great beings to barely seal the Ghost Clan here; how terrifying must the Ghost Clan have been back then?

"Chen Yu, let me go with you." Sanwei raised her head and looked at Chen Yu.

"You don't need to go; stay here with Tianxin." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "The matters ahead are my own business to begin with."

"Alright then, take care of yourself." Sanwei nodded, glanced at Chen Yu with some unease, but still stood in place with Tianxin and the others.

Chen Yu took a step forward and was already a hundred meters away; in almost the span of a breath, he had arrived before the Great Array.

On the other side of the Great Array, Ye Xinyu and Wen Ziming were already watching from the mountain peak.

"He knows this is his fate." The moment Chen Yu walked toward the Altar, Wen Ziming understood; Chen Yu knew all of this.

"Yes, he knows his own fate." Ye Xinyu said indifferently, "He seems to have grown accustomed to these days of having his life manipulated."

"But what is the use of that? Some things, in the end, still cannot be changed." Wen Ziming sighed slightly.

"You are not him, how do you know he cannot change it?" Ye Xinyu smiled slightly, "I have faith in him."

Wen Ziming felt some disdain for Ye Xinyu's words, but he said nothing, merely watching the scene quietly.

Chen Yu took a few steps and was already at the edge of the Altar's perimeter; he only needed to take one more step forward to enter the attack range of the eighteen giant pillars.

But he did not move forward; he stood still here and looked into the Altar.

Within the Altar, gusts of yin wind blew, and strands of black Qi permeated the surroundings; if nothing went wrong, every cluster of black Qi represented the fall of a life.

Moreover, these black Qi were newly formed souls, likely having died not long ago.

Furthermore, on the ground of the Altar, there were many more human shadows; these shadows were formed by corpses after death. Their flesh and blood had been completely absorbed in the time after they died, leaving only a shadow behind—this was perhaps the only evidence that they had ever existed in the world.

Even without entering the Altar, Chen Yu could already feel the intense murderous intent surging from within.

"Such strong killing intent." Chen Yu looked toward the front of the Altar.

"Chen Yu, why don't you come in?" With a flash of a grey shadow, Jingxi appeared in the array.

"If you don't appear, how can I just walk in?" Chen Yu smiled slightly, "Since you can place yourself within the Altar and retreat unscathed."

"This shows that you have already gained the recognition of the Ghost Clan; if nothing goes wrong, you will be the one to blow the Horn."

"Since you know, then stop talking nonsense and come in; this is your fate." Jingxi said with a beaming smile.

"Chen Yu, don't come in." Liu Lianxin forcibly broke through her sealed six senses to warn Chen Yu.

"If I don't come in, who will save you?" Chen Yu glanced at her.

"You are the sacrifice! If you come in, all your power will be drained, and then the Ghost Clan will be revived. Can you not understand this?" Liu Lianxin shouted.

"Of course I understand. I was already prepared when I came here; all of this seems to have been prepared for me." Chen Yu looked at everything around him.

He smiled slightly and said, "Was I not forcibly defied against the Heavenly Mystery and had my fate changed into the Purple Star Emperor Fate just for this day?"

"It is a pity that the Heavenly Mandate Elder did not come; if he had, I could have had a good chat with him about old times. It has not been easy these past many years." Chen Yu sneered.

"You know it is a dead end, yet you insist on stepping in?" Liu Lianxin stared at Chen Yu.

"I said, if I don't come, who will save you?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"You..." Liu Lianxin gritted her teeth as she looked at Chen Yu; at a time like this, he was still thinking about flirting with her?

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." As Chen Yu said this, he stepped into the perimeter of the Altar.

In the instant he stepped into the Altar, the heavens and the world seemed to change; yellow sand filled the ground, the cold wind was biting, and clusters of black Qi shrieked and wailed beside Chen Yu.

It was as if they were recounting their own pain and unwillingness; Chen Yu walked slowly forward, heading toward Liu Lianxin.

A gust of yin wind blew up before him, and in an instant, this yin wind formed blades of wind that struck toward Chen Yu like lightning.

*Ssh, ssh*, the clothes on his body were torn; Chen Yu pointed his right hand into the void, and a barrier appeared before him. His body paused slightly, and his forward speed seemed to slow down, but at least the biting wind force was blocked outside.

Suddenly, Jingxi moved; she darted out, leaving an afterimage as she appeared ten zhang away from Chen Yu.

"You want to stop me?" Chen Yu glanced at Jingxi.

"It is not that I want to stop you, but that you are standing in just the right place." Jingxi smiled slightly, "Because this place is where the Array Base is located; only when you stand here can your Ziwei Breath be drained to the greatest extent."

"Then hurry up, I can't wait." Chen Yu spread his hands and smiled indifferently.

"You really don't know what is good for you." Jingxi sneered, her right hand grabbing into the void as a Whisk appeared in her hand.

As the Whisk unfurled, ten thousand white threads instantly shrouded the entire area of the Altar.

And those eighteen giant pillars were pulled by the white threads of the Whisk in her hand, forcibly twisted around.

*Boom—*, the indifferent and expressionless faces atop the eighteen giant pillars stared fixedly at Chen Yu.

Then, a ghostly green radiance slowly flowed from their eyes; in this instant, the Altar had truly become a Purgatory on earth.

Countless clusters of black Qi roared and shrieked, rushing toward Chen Yu.

The barrier around Chen Yu lit up; those black Qi formed from vengeful souls would instantly turn into gas and vanish into thin air the moment they touched the barrier.

Despite this, those lonely ghosts and wild spirits flew toward Chen Yu like moths to a flame, shrieking as they lunged at the barrier around him to tear at it.

And the eighteen pairs of ghostly green gazes turned into beams, striking toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu looked at all of this indifferently; he grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen appeared in his hand.

As Lichen rotated in his hand, it split into two, then from two into four; one life giving birth to ten thousand things, countless streaks of Sword Qi crisscrossed and shot out.

The screams in mid-air were incessant; the black Qi formed by countless lonely ghosts and wild spirits vanished into thin air in this instant, and with a roar from Chen Yu, everything before him was reduced to nothingness.

"As expected of the Seven Brilliance Weapon Spirit Lichen, one sword can break ten thousand techniques." Jingxi still looked at Chen Yu with a beaming smile, "But Chen Yu, do you think you can escape?"

"Whether I can escape or not is not for you to decide." Chen Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Jingxi, you have truly lived all these years in vain."
