Chapter 817: The Truth Revealed: Xiao Bei’s Summit
The dark blue light engulfed Xiao Bei's figure, and the space crack closed quietly behind him.
A biting coldness suddenly hit him, completely different from the damp and coldness in the cave before. This was a coldness that penetrated deep into his bones, as if to freeze his soul.
Xiao Bei shuddered, and the immortal power in his body automatically circulated to resist this strange cold air.
The world before my eyes was in chaos, with a faint blue light swirling like fog, making it impossible to see the direction.
Xiao Bei slowed down his pace cautiously, and released his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding situation.
The space was eerily silent, with only the sound of his own heartbeat echoing in his ears, one after another, heavy and powerful.
As we go deeper, the blue mist gradually dissipates, revealing a desolate landscape.
The ground was black, like coagulated blood, and emitted a disgusting stench.
There was a strange energy fluctuation in the air, which made Xiao Bei feel a little nervous.
Xiao Bei moved forward cautiously, and there was a crunching sound under his feet, as if he was stepping on broken bones.
He looked down and saw that the black ground was covered with tiny white lines, like some kind of ancient runes.
He bent down and carefully observed the runes, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over him.
Suddenly, some fragments flashed through his mind, blurry and fragmented.
Ancient altar, chanting crowd, scarlet blood...
These fragments swirled in his mind like a nightmare, making him feel dizzy.
He suddenly raised his head. He had seen these runes in ancient books of the fairy world. They recorded an ancient taboo in the fairy world - blood sacrifice.
It is said that blood sacrifice can bring great power, but it also comes at a heavy price.
"Could it be..." Xiao Bei muttered to himself, his heart filled with uneasiness.
He has always believed in justice and light, and the evil ritual of blood sacrifice is incompatible with his beliefs.
At this moment, a low voice came from the depths of space: "You are finally here..." The black ground suddenly cracked, and countless blood-red spikes sprang out from the ground and pierced Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei reacted quickly, dodging the attack.
The spikes pierced into the space behind him, making a teeth-grinding friction sound.
Before he could catch his breath, the black ground surged again, transforming into a huge black tentacle that swept towards him with a fishy smell.
Xiao Bei swung his sword to cut off the tentacles, and dark green juice splashed all over him, emitting a disgusting stench.
He felt nauseous and his stomach churned.
The temperature in the space dropped suddenly, and the moisture in the air condensed into ice, shooting towards Xiao Bei like a sharp sword.
Xiao Bei swung his sword to block, the ice shattered, the fragments scratched his cheek, and a trace of blood oozed out.
He wiped his face and tasted the salty taste of blood.
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
The top of the space cracked, and black flames poured down, burning everything like hellfire.
Xiao Bei's clothes were set on fire and his skin felt a burning pain.
He gritted his teeth and endured it, using his spiritual power to protect his body, but he still felt the burning sensation.
He staggered back, his body covered with wounds, his clothes tattered, and he looked in a miserable state.
My breathing was rapid, my lungs felt like they were on fire, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain.
He felt weak, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
At this moment, a dazzling white light cut through the darkness and illuminated the entire space.
A familiar figure appeared in front of Xiao Bei, it was Bei Li.
In her hand, she held a gem that emitted a soft glow. It was the most precious treasure of the ancient immortals - the Soul-Condensing Pearl.
"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li shouted anxiously, with a hint of trembling in his voice.
Seeing Beili, the fire of hope rekindled in Xiao Bei's eyes.
Beili rushed to his side and handed him the Soul Condensing Orb: "Take it!"
Xiao Bei took the Soul Condensing Orb, and a powerful force surged into his body. The injuries on his body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He held the Soul-Condensing Orb tightly, feeling the tremendous energy contained within it, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"Are you ready to face the real enemy?" A cold voice echoed in the space.
The black ground completely collapsed, revealing a bottomless abyss below.
A figure slowly rose from the abyss, surrounded by thick black fog, making it impossible to see its true face.
The cold voice sounded again, with a hint of sarcasm: "Xiao Bei, you have finally come this far. Unfortunately, you are no match for me after all."
The light of the Soul-Condensing Orb illuminated the black fog, and a hideous face full of evil and greed could be vaguely seen in it.
Xiao Bei tightly grasped the Soul-Condensing Orb and felt an unprecedented powerful force surging in his body.
He stared at the black mist with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "You're playing tricks! Let me see what you are!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Bei's figure flashed and turned into a golden light rushing towards the black fog.
The soul-condensing bead in his hand burst out with dazzling light and turned into a huge lightsaber, slashing towards the black fog with a sharp sword energy.
The black fog rolled, making a shrill scream, and a black energy wave came towards him.
The two forces collided, causing a deafening roar.
The space trembled violently, and the black ground cracked inch by inch, spreading like a spider web.
Violent energy swept out, destroying everything around it.
Beili stood in the distance, looking at the battlefield nervously.
Her heart was in her throat, her hands were tightly clenched on the corner of her clothes, and her knuckles turned white.
Her eyes were fixed on Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei felt Bei Li's gaze, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He took a deep breath and his eyes became more determined.
He swung his lightsaber, slashing at the black fog again and again.
Every attack carried all his strength, and every collision made the space tremble.
The black fog kept changing its form, sometimes turning into a giant beast, sometimes turning into a sharp sword, attacking Xiao Bei frantically.
Xiao Bei dodged flexibly, narrowly avoiding the attacks each time.
Some scars gradually appeared on his body and blood stained his clothes, but he did not retreat at all.
"Xiao Bei, give up, you can't beat me!" The black fog roared, his voice full of unwillingness and despair.
Xiao Bei sneered, and the black fog let out a shrill scream, and its body trembled violently, as if it was about to collapse at any time.
The tremors in space became more and more violent, and cracks spread like spider webs, as if it would completely collapse in the next moment.
The figures of Xiao Bei and the black fog intertwined in the light, so fast that people could not see clearly.
"Xiao Bei..." Beili's voice came with a hint of worry.
Xiao Bei turned to look at Bei Li, and he smiled slightly, his eyes becoming more determined.
"Wait for me..." Xiao Bei keenly caught a glimpse of something strange while fighting with the black fog.
Each attack of the black fog was accompanied by a slight pause, like the beating of a heart.
The pause was extremely short and almost imperceptible, but Xiao Bei felt it clearly.
His mind moved, and a bold guess emerged: the core of this black fog might not be indestructible!
His eyes were as sharp as torches, closely watching every move of the black fog, looking for the fatal weakness.
The black fog attacked again, transforming into a huge black python, opening its bloody mouth and swallowing Xiao Bei.
Just when the giant python was about to bite Xiao Bei, the slight pause appeared again.
Xiao Bei seized this fleeting opportunity and swung the lightsaber in his hand, hitting the giant python right in the vital spot!
"Ah--" The black fog let out a shrill scream, like a wounded beast.
The giant python's body trembled violently, and the black mist began to dissipate, revealing a beating black heart.
The heart beat slower and weaker, until it finally stopped completely.
As the heart stopped beating, the black fog completely dissipated, revealing an old figure.
The figure was wearing a black robe, his face was haggard, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.
He fell to his knees powerlessly, his body gradually turning into ashes and eventually disappearing without a trace.
The tremors in space gradually subsided, the cracks began to heal, and the faint blue light gradually dissipated, revealing the original space.
The light of the Soul-Condensing Orb became softer, and eventually turned into an ordinary bead and returned to Beili's hands.
Xiao Bei slowly landed on the ground, his body covered with wounds and his clothes in tatters, but he felt an unprecedented powerful force surging in his body.
He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. A stream of fresh air rushed into his lungs, making him feel refreshed.
"It's over..." Xiao Bei said softly, his tone was a little tired, but also full of relief.
At this moment, a slight vibration came from the depths of space, and a huge portal slowly opened, emitting dazzling light.
"Let's go." Xiao Bei turned to look at Bei Li.
Beili nodded, walked to Xiao Bei and held his hand tightly.
The two smiled at each other and walked towards the portal hand in hand.
Just as they were about to step into the portal, Xiao Bei suddenly stopped and turned to look at the space behind him.
"and many more……"
