Chapter 2586
by“What’s going on? This power…”
“Not good, the restraining force of the Blood Gate has revived again.”
“Several adults, quickly retreat. It’s afraid that something will change if it’s too late！”
One after another, the demon kings exclaimed in confusion. The reason they were able to approach here was entirely because the Blood Gate had recently undergone strange changes and the mysterious restraining force had temporarily disappeared. In the past, it was simply impossible to approach within ten miles of the Blood Gate.
But now, the mysteriously disappeared power seemed to have returned, making all the demon kings feel suppressed in an instant. Moreover, as time passed, this suppressing force became stronger and stronger.
The several Saint Venerables clearly also discovered this point. Their cultivation strengths, which far exceeded that of a Third-Order Emperor Venerable, were actually suppressed to the level of a Third-Order Emperor Venerable within a short period of time.
In other words, at this moment, any random human martial artist at the Third-Order Emperor Venerable level would be sufficient to fight them to a draw.
Over the years, these few of them had also come to the vicinity of the Blood Gate many times to investigate the situation and were well aware of the terror of this suppressing force. This was only the beginning. If the suppressing force reached its limit, it would be sufficient to suppress their strength below the Emperor Venerable level.
“You all go first！” The Brahma Centipede waved his hand and said.
Although the strength of the Demon Kings was not bad, they were indeed no match for the four Great Saint Venerables. If they continued to stay here, I’m afraid the situation would be more ominous than propitious.
Receiving the order, many Demon Kings and Saint Envoys were like they had received a pardon and fled outside one after another. Before leaving, they also did not forget to bring all the subdued Stone Spirit Clan members with them.
In a short while, only the four Great Saint Venerables, Yang Kai and Ruo Xi, and Third Brother were left in the original place.
The cultivation of the four Great Saint Venerables was extremely outstanding. Although they were suppressed by the Blood Gate’s restriction, there would not be any danger for the time being. And Yang Kai, Ruo Xi, and Third Brother were not originally living beings of the Ancient Lands nor were they Demon Races, so they were not affected by that suppressing force.
At this moment, the gazes of all the people were focused on Zhang Ruo Xi.
The girl who had fallen to her knees and hung her head remained motionless, and the violent aura had also subsided. But within that petite body, a power that made the four great sage lords tremble with fear was awakening.
“Bloodline power！” Yang Kai’s eyes suddenly lit up, faintly realizing what was going on.
All along, Ruoxi’s bloodline power had been a mystery. Yang Kai also very much hoped to help Zhang Ruoxi solve the mystery hidden within her bloodline. But there had always been no good way.
The last time he met the Red Dust Great Emperor, Duan Hongchen seemed to have seen a clue. Unfortunately, that old fellow had a mysterious look and didn’t say clearly, but instead whetted Yang Kai’s appetite. Making Yang Kai hate him to the bone but helpless.
Yang Kai never expected that this time, it was actually because of himself. Under that boundless anger and despair, and under that desire for powerful strength, Ruoxi’s bloodline power had completely awakened.
“Kid, what did you say？” Shi Huo lowered his head and glared at Yang Kai. He vaguely heard Yang Kai mutter something, but unfortunately, all his attention was on Zhang Ruoxi and he actually didn’t hear clearly.
“It’s none of your business！” Yang Kai raised his head and despised him with a sneer.
“Kid, you’re courting death！” Shi Huo flew into a rage.
“Don’t make more troubles!” Suddenly, Fan Wu shouted in a deep voice, with a face full of anger. Zhang Ruoxi’s huge change made him extremely uneasy for no reason, and the change of this girl was nothing more than because of Yang Kai.
If he made things difficult for Yang Kai at this time, God knows what this girl would become.
No matter what secrets were in her body, since it was related to the Blood Gate, Fan Wu couldn’t take it lightly.
Shi Huo shook his head with an unhappy face and really didn’t dare to trouble Yang Kai anymore.
Yang Kai also didn’t bother to continue to be entangled with him. For him, if Shi Huo still wanted to be entangled he would just go all out and fight with the other party. He endured so much humiliation just now because he wanted to send Ruoxi and the Stone Spirit Clan away first.
Turning his head, Yang Kai softly called out： “Ruoxi, Ruoxi…”
He called out more than a dozen times in a row, but Ruoxi didn’t respond at all, making Yang Kai frown tightly.
“I feel very bad.” Cang Gou couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, with a face full of fear.
With his strength, even if a Great Emperor came, it wouldn’t be enough to shock him like this. Couldn’t he run away if he couldn’t beat? But looking at the girl kneeling on the ground over there, as weak as a willow, he was really scared from the bottom of his heart.
Luan Feng and Fan Wu looked at each other and both saw the shock and uneasiness in each other’s eyes.
Shi Huo said furiously, “I want to kill her. This feeling… This Seat doesn’t like it at all！”
As he spoke, he stepped towards Zhang Ruoxi.
But before he had taken two steps, Zhang Ruoxi, who had been motionless over there, suddenly said in a low voice, “I understand.”
“What？” The four Saint Venerables all looked at her in surprise and doubt.
Ruoxi slowly raised her head, but her pretty face was as cold as ice, and her scarlet eyes were even more terrifying to look at.
“Ruoxi…” Yang Kai was stunned. He had been with Ruoxi for so many years, and he had never seen her like this before. Was Ruoxi, who was like this, still Ruoxi？
The girl gently let out a breath, gracefully stood up from the ground, reached out and flicked the dust on her dress, turned her head, looked coldly at Shi Huo, and opened her red lips slightly, saying, “Big Stone, you just said you wanted to kill me？”
Shi Huo was stared at by those seemingly emotionless eyes, and only felt his whole body stiffen. A chill ran from his head to the soles of his feet. But tens of miles away, the gazes of many Demon Kings were all looking towards this side, so he still gritted his teeth and said, “So what if I did？”
Ruoxi nodded and didn’t say anything more. Her beautiful eyes swept over the direction where Yang Kai was.
Their eyes met. Yang Kai’s brows were tightly furrowed, full of worry. But before he could open his mouth to ask anything, Ruoxi actually looked away, as if she didn’t know him.
This made Yang Kai’s heart sink. He completely couldn’t understand what kind of change had happened to Ruo Xi. That gaze felt so strange to him, so strange that it made him feel a bit heartache.
Ruo Xi raised her hand, and suddenly a thing appeared on her jade hand.
It was a jade tablet that fluctuated with a weak spatial force, exquisitely carved and peerless in beauty.
“Empty Spirit Jade Tablet！”
Yang Kai’s brows furrowed tightly. He didn’t know what Zhang Ruo Xi was going to do by taking out the Empty Spirit Jade Tablet at this time. This was a ancestral treasure of the Zhang family and had always been kept by Yang Kai. It was only handed over to Ruo Xi before entering the ancient land because Yang Kai felt that Ruo Xi’s strength was almost enough and could let her explore the mystery hidden in this Empty Spirit Jade Tablet. Maybe it could solve the mystery of the bloodline in her body.
It’s just that Ruo Xi also had no discovery all the time, but unexpectedly took it out at this time.
Just as Yang Kai was watching, Ruo Xi flicked her fingers, and the Empty Spirit Jade Tablet suddenly turned into a stream of light and shot towards the Blood Gate.
The white light was suddenly embedded in the blood Gate, making the blood-red color dye a layer of white.
The next moment, on the Empty Spirit Jade Tablet, various patterns like a fairyland suddenly flickered And with the flickering of these patterns a crisp click sounded through the heavens and the earth.
It was as if a long-sealed door was slowly being opened, and a terrifying aura was diffusing out from within the door.
“The Key to the Blood Gate, the Key to the Blood Gate!” Fan Wu frowned and observed for a while, then suddenly his complexion changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise, staring wide-eyed at Zhang Ruoxi and said in shock, How could you have the Key to the Blood Gate?
Luan Feng couldn’t help covering her red lips, looking at The Blood Gate over there, and murmured, “The Blood Gate… has been opened!”
Rumble…
The sound of the door opening finally rang out. From within the Blood Gate, the multicolored light was flowing, and the wonderful scenery was faintly visible. It seemed that there was a magnificent palace standing within it, but it was also like it was hanging in the clouds, making people look at it in a fog.
“The Key to the Blood Gate？” Yang Kai looked at it in surprise again and again, and the expression on his face was also extremely wonderful.
He had studied the Jade Disk for a not short time, but he had never thought that the Jade Disk was actually a key!
A key to open the Blood Gate.
Looking at it this way, the various beautiful scenery that had continuously flashed on the ethereal Jade Disk before should all be the scenery inside the Blood Gate, and that palace was the legendary Holy Spirit Palace.
“Do you think… why does this palace have the key to the Blood Gate? Ruo Xi replied, her tone gentle, but in the ears of the Brahma Centipede, it was like the voice of a devil making him couldn’t help but take a few steps back, his face pale.
Ruo Xi raised one hand and slightly beckoned towards the Blood Gate, as if summoning something.
Whoosh…
A stream of light directly shot out from the Blood Gate and was caught in her hand.
Zheng…
The sound of a sword ringing resounded. Only now did everyone see that the thing that shot out from the Blood Gate was actually a sword, an extremely exquisite sharp sword. The sword was so smooth that it could reflect people’s figures the hilt was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and at the end of the sword was a red sword tassel which was extremely flexible, as if it was alive.
With a sword in hand, Ruo Xi’s entire aura suddenly soared. That extremely powerful momentum was actually no less than that of a strong person at the Third-Order Emperor Venerable Realm.
Hua la…
A solid phantom suddenly emerged behind Ruo Xi.
Yang Kai tried hard to widen his eyes and stared blankly at this illusion.
He had seen it more than once, but every time he saw this illusion, he was extremely shocked.
That was a huge female illusion. Her long hair hung down behind her head, her head was slightly raised, and her expression was cold. She looked a bit similar to Ruo Xi. She was holding a huge sheathed sword in both hands and standing quietly behind Ruo Xi, as if she was Ruo Xi’s elongated shadow.
“Heaven Punishment Sword！” Fan Wu couldn’t hold it in any longer and cried out in surprise. The blood on his face instantly drained clean.
Not only him, the other three Saint Venerables also had expressions as if they had seen a ghost. They were all extremely shocked, and their eyes were filled with fear.
“You are actually a descendant of Heaven Punishment！” Luan Feng’s face lost its color and her mouth was filled with bitterness.
Cang Gou’s whole body trembled and he could hardly stand still.
Shi Huo’s head was even more muddled and he almost fainted on the ground.
As descendants of the Holy Spirits, having inherited the origin power of their ancestors and obtained the memories of their ancestors, no one knew better than them the horror of Heaven Punishment.
The era when Heaven Punishment existed was definitely a time of great suffering for all the Holy Spirits. Ninety percent of the Holy Spirits in the world were killed by her, and the origin powers of countless Holy Spirits were sealed in the Holy Spirit Palace within the Blood Gate and out of sight. Many Holy Spirits changed color when they talked about her and lived in constant fear.
