Ye Lin came before the green gemstone and, like Wang Xiaoyun, brazenly dripped his own blood onto it.
The instant Ye Lin's blood entered it, the originally green gemstone gradually turned golden, finally erupting with an incomparably dazzling radiance.
A pillar of golden light shot from the gemstone straight into the heavens, even blasting apart the clouds high in the nine skies.
