The people from the three states all had a preposterous thought.

Chaos Nascent Soul?!

Ye Xuan stared blankly at the three colossal Human Dao Sages, identical to the ones outside Great Yan Imperial City.

Before he left for Bianhuang City, Ye Fan had earnestly instructed him to keep an eye on the heavenly prodigies of Qingzhou.

According to Ye Fan's estimation, the person who had previously summoned three Human Dao Sages would definitely participate in the secret realm competition, and he should try to win them over.

But now, the person was found?

Win them over? How could he win them over?

Taking a deep breath, a look of intense venom flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes. He immediately communicated with the Blood Demon Race in his mind, instructing them to arrange for people outside to kill Ye Yu on the spot as soon as he exited the secret realm.

With the three Human Dao Sages watching, a heavenly-level Nascent Soul, coupled with a talent of nine hundred layers – any one of these was enough for the Blood Demon Race to pay a great price to act forcefully.

Not to mention, Ye Yu was already on the Demon Race's kill list.

"Be arrogant! Laugh! When you leave the secret realm, it will be your time to die!" Ye Xuan gritted his teeth.

Ye Qingshuang, meanwhile, looked at Ye Yu in the pillar of light, her eyes full of confusion. It seemed she truly didn't understand her younger brother.

At this moment, Ye Yu, enveloped in spiritual light, was also full of surprise. He watched as the three pillars of light gradually merged into his Nascent Soul.

The quality of his Nascent Soul abruptly soared, and it already faintly emanated a chaotic aura.

Did condensing a Chaos Nascent Soul require a blessing from the Human Dao Sages first?

Or was it the small cauldron?!

As the thought crossed his mind, a white light pierced the sky!

The three Human Dao Sages opened their eyes simultaneously, looking up at the white light. Then, to everyone's shock, they slowly knelt on one knee.

The Sages bowed?! What was going on now?!

Instantly, Ye Yu felt enveloped by a sacred power. In the center of the white light, Ye Yu seemed to see a great cauldron, and the radiance emanated from within it.

Just as Ye Yu tried to get a closer look, the white light, the figures of the Sages, and the great cauldron vanished at the same moment.

The entire secret realm returned to its previous state, as if nothing had happened.

Outside the secret realm, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, completely unable to comprehend what had just occurred. What had just happened? What was the quality of Ye Yu's Nascent Soul?

Before anyone could figure it out, a muffled thunderclap sounded from within the secret realm.

Immediately, Qin Wushuang's expression turned incredibly grim. The excitement he felt earlier about Ye Yu condensing a heavenly Nascent Soul vanished instantly.

Everyone had been drawn to the phenomenon and had forgotten one thing.

The Nascent Soul Tribulation!

Only those who had survived a Nascent Soul Tribulation knew its terrifying nature.

The Nascent Soul Tribulation was a heavenly tribulation specifically for Nascent Souls. The higher the quality of the Nascent Soul, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation that descended.

To survive an Earth Fiend-level Nascent Soul Tribulation would require the assistance of at least ten Nascent Soul Stage experts. As for a heavenly-level Nascent Soul Tribulation, no one knew.

Because no one present had witnessed it.

Many powerful individuals, merely glimpsing a corner of the Nascent Soul Tribulation through the Sky-Gazing Mirror, could feel the terrifying fluctuations. This was nothing compared to those within the secret realm, let alone Ye Yu, who was at the center of the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

"Heh heh, so what if it's a heavenly-level Nascent Soul? I don't believe this brat can survive it!" Ye Fan sneered.

It was hard to imagine such words coming from a father.

But everyone present knew that the possibility of Ye Yu surviving this Nascent Soul Tribulation was extremely slim.

Looking at the scene from the foot of the mountain, Ye Xuan's face showed delight. It seemed even the Demon Race wouldn't need to act.

Only Ye Yu, looking at the dark thunderclouds above, had a look of joy on his face. He immediately formed hand seals, and currents of electricity coursed across his body.

Illusory Dragon Wind Lightning Body!

Crack!

A golden heavenly lightning bolt descended, as if splitting the entire sky in two. Immense lightning power continuously poured into Ye Yu's body.

The Illusory Dragon Wind Lightning Body operated frantically, continuously devouring the heavenly might that outsiders found terrifying.

However, gradually, Ye Yu noticed something was wrong. The power of this golden heavenly lightning far exceeded his imagination. Even the Illusory Dragon Wind Lightning Body couldn't fully absorb it.

Boom, boom, boom!

The rumbling continued, and the entire secret realm began to tremble. The ground cracked, mountains collapsed, and even the Ascending Heaven Staircase developed fissures.

The violent lightning power surged wildly within Ye Yu's body. Faint golden stripes began to appear on his skin – a sign that the Illusory Dragon Wind Lightning Body was on the verge of breaking through to the fifth layer.

"Ah!!!" After a long while, Ye Yu let out an unrecognizable roar. Just as he was about to use the small cauldron, a spatial rift suddenly appeared behind him.

Immediately, a large hand reached out and dragged Ye Yu into it.

The next moment, the tribulation clouds dissipated, and the terrifying heavenly might vanished.

Qin Ruoxian stared blankly at the empty Ascending Heaven Staircase, her body going limp as she collapsed to the ground. Ye Yu was no longer there.

Ye Xuan and Liu Ruyan burst into wild laughter.

Ye Qingshuang's expression was complicated as she murmured, "You're still pushing yourself so hard..."

Outside the secret realm, Qin Wushuang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. In contrast, Ye Fan burst into laughter. This was the best outcome for him!

"Tsk tsk tsk, you little rascal, you're really messing around." Inside a pitch-black palace, an ancient voice rang out.

Ye Yu endured the pain and stood up. He glanced around, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you, senior."

"You don't need to thank me. If I let you continue like this, the last barrier of the Sacred Pill Sect will also be broken." As the voice faded, an old man's figure appeared before Ye Yu, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"May I ask which esteemed elder of the Sacred Pill Sect you are, senior?" Ye Yu inquired.

The old man's expression turned desolate. He looked at the dilapidated palace and said bitterly, "I am a sinner, how can I be called an esteemed elder? This old man is Dan Chenzi."

At the mention of his name, Ye Yu was shocked. Dan Chenzi was recorded in ancient texts as the last Sect Master of the Sacred Pill Sect and the most astonishingly talented individual in its history.

A Grade 8 alchemist with Void Refining stage cultivation, he had once dominated an era.

"May I ask, Senior Dan Chenzi, what exactly happened to the Sacred Pill Sect back then? Is it related to the Nine Nether Blood Spring?" Ye Yu pondered for a moment before asking.

Upon hearing this, Dan Chenzi turned around, looking at Ye Yu with surprise. "You actually know about the Nine Nether Blood Spring? You guessed correctly, the origin of everything was the Nine Nether Blood Spring."

With that, Dan Chenzi waved his hand, and the ground of the entire palace suddenly cracked open, releasing a thick, foul-smelling odor.

In almost the blink of an eye, a blood pool hundreds of feet wide appeared before Ye Yu.

It was the Nine Nether Blood Spring, which Ye Yu was all too familiar with!

"Young man, I will bestow upon you a great fortune. Do you want it?" Suddenly, Dan Chenzi turned to Ye Yu and asked.
