「World Inside the Vase.」
With Zhang Yi's help, the Shu Poison had been extracted and sealed from the bodies of Lin Xiyue and the others. However, sealing the poison from so many people one after another had left Zhang Yi exhausted; she had only just completed her Spirit Martial Markings and was still unfamiliar with using them.
At this mont, everyone sat cross-legged on the grass, their expressions somber, as if mourning their own parents. After the Shu Poison was extracted, their bodies were left in an extrely weakened state, as though recovering from a serious illness.
Master Ping spared no expense, using his Dao Law God Chain to deliver all sorts of rare Spiritual dicines from his collection to help them heal and recover.
Yaya squatted on the ground, her eyes vacant and dull. She ignored everyone, silently shedding tears. The horrifying scene of Dou Dou's body exploding was a nightmare she couldn't shake from her mind.
"Master Ping, what should we do now?" Xiao Luanzi asked, breaking the silence.
Master Ping's voice echoed from the Void. "The situation outside is terrible. Everyone is lining up, rushing to the blood sacrifice like a great migration, so it's better for all of you to stay here... I promised Luo Xiu I'd take good care of you all."
Kuang Pi slamd his palm on the ground and roared, "Then what about Xiao Luo? Are we just going to leave him like this?!"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Lin Xiyue suddenly threw her arms around Lin Shanshan and began to sob.
Kuang Pi let out a long sigh. "Sorry... I was just angry at myself. My brother is in trouble, and I hate that I can't do anything to help."
Master Ping said, "Having spent so much ti with you beings of flesh and blood, I think I'm starting to understand your emotions. To be honest, I'm quite furious myself right now."
Just then, Di Xuanji looked over at Zhang Yi, who was sitting cross-legged nearby. "Xiao Yi, is there any way for you to seal the Shu Poison in everyone outside?"
Zhang Yi was silent for a mont before gently shaking her head. "Including those who ca from outside the Barrier, at least a hundred million people in Henghai Province have been infected with the Shu Poison. That doesn't even count the animals. So, Your Majesty, I'm truly powerless."
As she spoke, Zhang Yi suddenly burst into tears. "By now, my parents are probably..."
Di Xuanji sighed deeply, a wave of despair washing over her. She slumped to the ground, utterly dejected. Over a hundred million people in Henghai Province would be sacrificed, and she, their Emperor, was powerless to stop it.
Heaven and Earth are truly heartless, treating all of creation as re straw dogs... We beings of the Lower Realm are truly nothing but grass in the eyes of those from the Upper Realm.
"What use am I, the so-called Emperor of the Lower Realm?"
Luo Qianye glanced at her and said coolly, "This is why the Azure Emperor once stood alone against the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Dao."
Tears welled in Luo Ying's eyes as she choked out, "Even if it ant bearing the curses of millennia, he wanted to forge a bright future for all beings of the Upper and Lower Realms."
"But those who truly understood him, who were willing to fight by his side, were few and far between."
"In the eyes of the so-called orthodox Heavenly Dao, all life in the Upper and Lower Realms are just ants to be crushed at will."
At these words, everyone fell into a somber silence.
Xiao Luanzi said proudly, "How could re mortals comprehend the greatness of the Azure Emperor? Anyway, in my heart, the boss is always number one!"
Lei Luan suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, why weren't a few of us affected by the Shu Poison earlier?"
Master Ping analyzed, "You, Big Dumb Bear, Xiao Luanzi, and Yaya are all high-level Divine Beasts. It's likely your Divine Beast bloodlines protected you from the Shu Poison."
He continued, "As for Luo Ying and Luo Qianye, you two are a Companion Green Lotus. Strictly speaking, you're also high-level, plant-based Divine Beasts."
"And Lu Nianjiao... the bloodline flowing in your veins is extrely powerful and doesn't belong to the Lower Realm."
Lu Nianjiao suddenly stood up. "Hearing you say that, I've thought of a way that might solve the Shu Poison problem for good."
"What is it?" everyone asked in unison, their eyes filled with eagerness.
Lu Nianjiao said, "By refining the God Blood Golden Pill."
"The God Blood Golden Pill?!" Master Ping cried out, stunned. "You can refine such a legendary pill?"
Lu Nianjiao replied, "I've seen the pill formula at Ghost Valley Mountain, but I've never actually refined one."
Master Ping marveled, "What is the origin of your Ghost Valley Mountain? To think it possesses even a formula like this."
Lu Nianjiao said, "Master Ping, our only hope now rests on your World Inside the Vase containing the spiritual herbs I need."
She then looked toward Lei Luan, Kuang Pi, Luo Ying, and the others. "Furthermore, I'll need your Divine Beast essence blood."
Finally, her gaze fell on Zhang Yi. "And Xiao Yi, for the final step, we'll need you to seal all the Shu Poison into the God Blood Golden Pill."
Zhang Yi nodded gravely. "We've co this far. We have no choice but to risk it all!"

「Above the Construct Wood.」
Luo Hao gazed down at the densely packed, endless sea of people below and took an hourglass from his Storage Magical Treasure.
This blood sacrifice is still a bit slow, but it's much faster than letting these Lower Realm Mortals slaughter each other. I really have to thank this Shu Poison.
At this mont, countless people were lining up to enter Henghai Provincial City, the ground seemingly flattened by their march. Each person moved like a controlled puppet, staggering toward the sacrificial altar. As they drew within a certain distance, their bodies would explode into a shower of flesh and blood, a cruel offering for the sacrifice.
As ti went on, the pile of mutilated corpses beneath the Construct Wood grew into a towering mountain. Rivers of blood flowed across the land.
Even Luo Hao couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle at the horrifying scene, forcing himself to look away.
This must be what they call a hell on earth, an Asura's slaughterhouse. But compared to when the Six Emperors destroyed the world and sacrificed billions of lives, this is just a minor spectacle.
Muttering to himself, Luo Hao shakily raised his hand. A Blood Chain shot out from his palm, stretching down toward the altar below and piercing into Luo Xiu's heart.
The next mont, Luo Hao's entire body shuddered, and blood stread from his seven orifices.
"Ugh... Such trendous Divine Power!"
"Exhilarating!"
"Is this the Asura the Six Emperors sought to create?!"
He endured the indescribable agony and suddenly burst into crazed laughter.
"Tian'er, your entire life was just to pave the way for ! Not only have I stolen your Green Lotus, but now I'm taking your Divine Soul as well."
"The sins and resentnt from hundreds of millions of beings from an entire epoch all fall upon you, while I sit back and enjoy your Divine Power and Divine Soul."
"Thinking about it, you're truly pitiful."
"But in the end, it's those people in the Celestial Realm who are doing this to you. I'm rely one of their dogs."
"But rest assured, once I achieve godhood, I will trample them underfoot and avenge you."
"Hahahaha..."
