Chapter 1723: Chapter 849: Ultimate Secret, Underground Palace?
“So, the Blood Soul Pearl is the true ultimate secret of the Blood Ghost Sect?” Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Mo Han nodded, “Very likely. With the immense power of the Blood Soul Pearl, the Blood Ghost Sect will surely use it for some unspeakable deeds.”
“What should we do then?” Luo Chen asked, “Should we stop them?”
Mo Han’s eyes flickered as he spoke in a deep voice, “Of course we must stop them. The Blood Ghost Sect’s plot must not succeed, but the power of the Blood Soul Pearl is too great. We must be cautious and not act recklessly.”
The two fell into silence again, knowing that the current situation was extremely complicated and one wrong step could lead to irreversible disaster.
The strength of the Blood Ghost Sect far exceeded their imaginations, and the power of the Blood Soul Pearl was even more unfathomable.
To stop the plot of the Blood Ghost Sect, a huge price would likely need to be paid.
As the two were deep in thought, the ritual on the altar seemed to be reaching a critical point.
The blood in the Blood Pool began to churn violently, the red light emitted by the Blood Soul Pearl grew increasingly intense, and the entire underground space was pervaded with an oppressive atmosphere suffocating enough to make one breathless.
“No good, they’re about to start the ritual!” Mo Han’s face changed, exclaiming in a low voice.
Luo Chen also felt the urgency of the situation, knowing that if the Blood Ghost Sect successfully completed their ritual, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“We must stop them!” Luo Chen said softly, his eyes filled with determination.
Mo Han nodded, and the two hesitated no longer. They exchanged a glance and simultaneously dashed out of the shadows, racing toward the altar.
“Who goes there?!” The members of the Blood Ghost Sect immediately noticed their presence, shouting in surprise.
“Kill!” Luo Chen roared, charging into the crowd, wielding his Longsword and beginning a furious slaughter.
Mo Han followed closely behind with a Crystal Ball in hand, chanting a Curse. Waves of powerful force poured from the Crystal Ball, pounding the members of the Blood Ghost Sect.
The battle erupted instantly, with shouts, clashes of weapons, and screams intertwining into a chaotic symphony.
Luo Chen and Mo Han were like two sharp swords, piercing into the ranks of the Blood Ghost Sect, unstoppable, no one able to stand against them.
However, the numbers of the Blood Ghost Sect were too great, and among them were powerful Elders. Despite Luo Chen and Mo Han’s bravery, they gradually found themselves feeling overwhelmed.
“Mo Han, this won’t work. We’ll be worn out by them!” Luo Chen said anxiously as he fought.
Mo Han also realized the seriousness of the situation, gritting his teeth as a flash of resoluteness appeared in his eyes.
“Luo Chen, I have an idea that might turn the tide,” Mo Han said softly.
“What idea?” Luo Chen asked quickly.
Mo Han took a deep breath and said slowly, “I will use the power of the Crystal Ball to destroy the Blood Soul Pearl!”
“What? Destroy the Blood Soul Pearl?!” Luo Chen was shocked upon hearing this, “Can this really be done? The power of the Blood Soul Pearl is so great, can the Crystal Ball truly destroy it?”
Mo Han’s eyes were firm, “I don’t know if it will work, but it’s our only hope! If we can’t destroy the Blood Soul Pearl, we’ll have no choice but to watch the Blood Ghost Sect’s plot succeed!”
Luo Chen fell silent, knowing Mo Han was right. They had no retreat now and could only fight with all they had.
“Fine, I’ll cover you. Do it!” Luo Chen said resolutely, his tone filled with trust and determination.
Mo Han nodded, hesitating no longer. He took a deep breath, channeling all his strength into the Crystal Ball in his hand.
The Crystal Ball exploded in a brilliant light, brewing a world-destroying power within.
The Sect Master of the Blood Ghost Sect also noticed Mo Han’s actions, his face changing drastically as he shouted in terror, “Stop him! Quickly stop him! He’s going to destroy the Blood Soul Pearl!”
The Elders of the Blood Ghost Sect immediately rushed toward Mo Han, attempting to stop him.
Luo Chen stepped forward, standing in front of Mo Han, wielding his Longsword as he desperately resisted the attacks of the Blood Ghost Sect Elders.
“Mo Han, hurry up! I can’t hold on much longer!” Luo Chen shouted loudly as he fought, his body already covered in wounds, his robe stained with blood.
Mo Han bit his lip, focusing all his mind on chanting the Curse.
As the Curse was recited, the light from the Crystal Ball grew brighter, its power stronger, as if about to tear apart the entire underground space.
“No! Don’t!” The Sect Master of the Blood Ghost Sect let out a hopeless howl, knowing that once the Blood Soul Pearl was destroyed, everything about the Blood Ghost Sect would be reduced to nothing.
However, it was all too late.
“Boom——!”
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth, the Crystal Ball exploded, and a terrifying force erupted in an instant, sweeping across the entire underground space like a volcanic eruption.
In the wake of this force, the altar collapsed in an instant, the Blood Pool was blown apart, and the Blood Soul Pearl emitted a painful wail, its red light dimming in an instant.
The members of the Blood Ghost Sect, under the impact of this force, were thrown far away like kites with broken strings, their fates unknown.
Luo Chen was also caught in the force of the explosion, his body sent flying like being struck by a giant hammer, crashing heavily against the stone wall, his vision going black as he lost consciousness.
After the explosion, the underground space was in ruins, smoke pervaded, debris scattered everywhere, as if it had undergone a catastrophic disaster.
Mo Han stood amid the rubble, covered in blood, the Crystal Ball in his hand completely shattered, reduced to dust.
Yet he did not care, only steadfastly gazing at the center of the altar, looking at the Blood Soul Pearl with its dim red light, a slow smile spreading across his face.
