Chapter 153: Hell
“Who dares to invade the forbidden ground of the Chao family?”
“Take them down immediately!”
“Attack!”
As soon as Yun Ye made his move, three powerful auras suddenly rose, entering the state of Spiritual Roots revival.
Three earth dragons leaped from the ground, charging toward Yun Ye from three directions.
It seemed this blood-and-flesh alchemy factory had its guardians!
Yun Ye’s expression turned cold as water rings appeared, slicing through the earth dragons with precision and breaking the control of the three. The earth dragons collapsed in mid-air.
“What?”
The three figures that revealed themselves had their pupils contract, feeling a wave of dread.
Their attacks were utterly powerless; the opponent was clearly not an ordinary Mortal Realm cultivator!
They were no match!
“Who exactly are you? This place is of great importance to the ancestors of the Chao family. To act so recklessly here…”
One person shouted loudly, but Yun Ye had no interest in listening. With a strike from afar, he cleaved the man in two, his words freezing in his throat as a line of blood poured from his body, splitting him apart.
“Chao Xin!”
“How dare you! My ancestor will not let you off!”
The other two were terrified and immediately launched their attack, determined to strike within the forbidden ground, completely disregarding the dangers!
“Ancestor? Heh… No matter who it is, they will die sooner or later!”
Yun Ye’s eyes burned with rage; with the next strike, the other two suddenly lost their voices, their bodies disintegrating into chunks of flesh.
With a sweep of his Spirit Sense, Yun Ye quickly eliminated the mortal collaborators in the area.
These people deserved to die a thousand times!
With Yun Ye’s strength, it took him less than a minute to kill all the collaborators.
Then, he turned his gaze to where the gray Spirit Pearl was located; it had been reduced to a hollow shell, completely shattered.
The corresponding Spirit Law power had long since vanished.
However, the entire blood-and-flesh alchemy factory showed no signs of stopping.
Everyone remained vacant-eyed, mechanically repeating their tasks, showing no response to the sounds of battle.
“Could it be that this place hasn’t just existed for a few years, but has been maintained for at least several decades? Their self-awareness has completely vanished, with a mark etched into their very bone marrow. Even if the Spirit Law is removed, there would be no change in the short term…”
Yun Ye’s face darkened as he spread out his Spirit Sense.
Then he discovered something alarming.
The entire blood-and-flesh alchemy factory operated as a self-contained system.
From birth to death, there was a complete setup; for example, Yun Ye saw numerous pregnant women.
The plight of pregnant women in such a place was unspeakably tragic, repugnant and unthinkable.
Moreover, it was not just that; he also saw formations that were even more horrifying and terrifying!
Yun Ye did not recognize these formations, but he could perceive subtle changes through his Spirit Sense.
The pregnant women within the formations had their vitality constantly diminishing, and even the spiritual essence of their spirit bones was fading away.
These formations used the lives of these pregnant women to enhance the talents of the newborns!
One could imagine that once the babies were born, all the power of the mother would be drained away in an instant, giving the newborn an exceptionally strong foundation… and then they would become living elixirs!
What a dreadful thing!
What an extraordinarily chilling truth!
“There are almost no girls among the students of the Academy…”
Yun Ye’s mood grew heavier.
He could already infer the fate of these girls; how much darkness still lay in this world?
He initially thought that seizing Spiritual Roots as consumables was already extremely sinister.
But undoubtedly, this world kept shattering his understanding.
This made Yun Ye suddenly remember the attitude of the young Ji family member toward Zhu Zhaohong… To them, women were likely just consumables for birthing gifted bloodlines, right?
After all, the noble families in this world truly had their own kinds!
As he looked around.
The entire area was filled with the living dead.
Yun Ye sighed, clasped his hands together, and spread out his Spirit Law Power, taking control of everyone in the vicinity.
Gradually, everyone in the area was affected, slowly stopping and blankly gathering together.
Yun Ye broke into a sweat; using Spirit Law on nearly three hundred people completely exceeded his capacity.
However, because these three hundred had been tormented by the Spirit Law for so long, their resistance had nearly vanished, which allowed him to easily take control.
Looking at the more than three hundred people gathered together in a daze, Yun Ye sighed again, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
No matter how powerful he was, that was all in the future… At the moment, he felt utterly helpless against this endless darkness.
What should he do next?
Take them back to Tomorrow Village and gradually help them recover?
But there were not even a hundred people in Tomorrow Village; how could he support these three hundred? The feasibility of that was practically zero.
For efficiency, should he just leave them here to fend for themselves?
Or perhaps, directly kill them all, then justify it by saying: let them be free at last?
He found it hard to make a decision; Yun Ye was a normal person, not a story generator; he really struggled to judge…
In the end, Yun Ye temporarily put these thoughts aside and walked up to the bronze cauldron.
Inside the bronze cauldron lay a spirit pill, something clearly visible to his Spirit Sense.
From the aura of this spirit pill, Yun Ye only sensed one thing.
Vitality!
Moreover, this was not ordinary vitality; it was purer, a type that made every cell in Yun Ye’s body crave it.
“A spirit pill that can extend one’s lifespan…”
Yun Ye murmured to himself; that was the feeling this spirit pill gave him—not just an increase in vitality, but an extension of lifespan. Those are two different concepts.
The vitality of a cultivator could be understood as physical strength, completely separate from lifespan.
Yun Ye reached his limit in the Mortal Realm; although his life force was incredibly strong, it did not extend his lifespan by even a little.
But this spirit pill was different; Yun Ye felt that if he consumed this spirit pill, without any other conditions, his lifespan limit could instantly increase… ten years, twenty years, or even more was possible.
Had Chao Zichong already reached the end of his lifespan?
To go so far as to crazily refine a longevity pill?
“No, it’s not that Chao Zichong needs it, but that the ancestor of the Chao family needs it. This forbidden ground is the ancestor’s alchemy factory; Chao Zichong is merely the executor.”
Yun Ye looked at the illusionary barrier in the sky and made a judgment.
The barrier means dividing space.
So, after Yun Ye set up the formations, he had to first expand the barrier to trap Chao Zichong, and then he would unleash the attacking Extreme Cold Great Formation.
The illusionary barrier here was vast and complete, something that a spiritual realm cultivator could not establish.
Moreover, the large amount of resources and personnel coordination would not be easily managed even by the heads of the Seven Great Families.
Now was still the time of a great disaster; a massive amount of resources should have been transported using spatial artifacts, requiring quite a few spatial artifacts.
Only those in the law realms could craft spatial artifacts.
In fact, the ancestor of the Chao family had not hidden anything, placing four talismans on this bronze cauldron.
As Yun Ye approached, he sensed an extremely sharp aura.
One of the talismans was even gruesomely inscribed with a warning.
“Those who harm my life shall not live!”
