Chapter 1016: The Bleeding Moon Pierces The Heavens
Han Yu immediately stood up.
His expression changed drastically.
"The Blood Sect..." Qing Luan muttered.
Han Yu’s eyes narrowed sharply.
He instantly contacted Chitterfang through their link.
"Update me immediately!"
At the same time, he activated multiple communication channels connected to the Jiangshi hidden within the Blood Sect.
The reports arrived rapidly afterward.
Chaos filled Heart Peak.
The Bleeding Moon itself had changed.
The giant crimson moon hanging above the sect was now radiating terrifying light while countless blood red runes rotated across its surface.
And the pillar of light...
It originated directly from the moon.
Han Yu’s heart sank slightly.
"They succeeded..." he muttered quietly.
The Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect had finally established contact with the Immortal Realm. Now all they needed was a response. The gathered cultivators around Han Yu all looked grim.
Several Dao Treading realm experts even appeared pale.
Because everyone understood the implications.
Yet while the entire Blood Continent focused upon the terrifying blood pillar piercing the skies...
No one noticed something else.
Something far more important.
The crimson light did not merely rise upward into the atmosphere.
It pierced through space itself.
High above the world, beyond mortal sight, the blood pillar tore through the barrier separating the Violet Eve World from the endless Void beyond.
The world boundary cracked briefly.
And in that exact moment... Another flash of light appeared.
This one did not emerge from the world.
It came from outside.
From the endless Void itself.
The incoming light passed directly through the opening created by the Blood Sect’s ritual and descended toward the Violet Eve World silently.
No alarms sounded.
No formations reacted.
The descent happened too quickly and too smoothly. If anyone had been capable of witnessing the scene beyond the world’s boundary, they would have seen a figure slowly emerging from the distortion in space.
A man.
Tall and impossibly handsome.
His robes fluttered softly despite the absence of wind.
His features appeared almost unreal, carrying a perfection no mortal should possess naturally. Long black hair drifted behind him while faint silver light flowed through his pupils like stars moving through the night sky.
His aura felt calm.
Restrained.
Yet the surrounding Void itself distorted slightly around him, merely from his presence.
The man slowly looked downward toward the Violet Eve World beneath him.
Then...
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"So this is the lower world connected to the Slaughtered Moon lineage..." he murmured softly.
His voice sounded gentle.
Almost refined.
Yet the moment those words left his lips, the surrounding space rippled violently as though reality itself struggled to endure even the sound of his speech. The handsome man then took a single step forward and vanished into the world below.
The moment the crimson pillar pierced the heavens, panic spread through Han Yu’s hidden alliance.
The gathered cultivators inside the underground chamber all wore grim expressions as they stared toward the distant skies where the blood red light continued to shine like a divine punishment descending upon the world.
The beam itself seemed endless.
Even after several minutes passed, it showed no signs of weakening.
The heavens above the Blood Continent had long since turned crimson under its influence, while terrifying waves of Blood Qi spread outward through the atmosphere itself. Many weaker cultivators throughout the continent had already begun hiding inside buildings or activating defensive formations in fear.
The pressure alone made countless people uneasy.
Inside the underground hall, Han Yu stood completely still while dozens of communication talismans floated around him.
Messages were continuously arriving.
Chitterfang’s nervous voice echoed repeatedly through their connection.
"Master! The Heart Peak is glowing!"
"Master! More elders are gathering underground!"
"Master! The moon is changing again!"
Even the usually arrogant rat sounded frightened.
Han Yu himself remained tense.
He continuously directed the Rat Battalion and the Jiangshi hidden within the Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect to gather every piece of information possible.
No detail could be missed.
Not now.
If the Blood Sect truly managed to summon an immortal directly into the world, then everything Han Yu had built all these years might collapse overnight.
The crimson pillar lasted nearly an entire hour.
During that time, the entire Blood Continent remained restless.
No one cultivated.
No one slept.
Every major power throughout the continent watched the skies nervously while trying to understand what exactly had happened within the Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect.
Then finally...
The beam slowly faded. The heavens gradually returned to normal while the violent Blood Qi fluctuations weakened. The terrifying pressure disappeared shortly afterward. And strangely enough, nothing happened afterward.
At least outwardly.
The Blood Sect itself became utterly silent.
No announcements were made.
No armies moved.
No retaliatory strikes occurred.
Even the great barrier surrounding the sect remained unchanged.
This silence only made Han Yu and the others more nervous.
Something about it felt unnatural.
Han Yu spent the next several hours monitoring reports nonstop.
The Jiangshi stationed near Heart Peak eventually confirmed that nearly all the major powerhouses of the sect had gathered within a secret chamber beneath the mountain.
The Patriarch.
The Peak Heads.
The hidden ancestors.
All of them remained underground.
And they stayed there for an entire week.
During those seven days, the Blood Sect appeared almost lifeless from the outside. Even routine operations slowed significantly. The elders rarely moved, the patrols became minimal and the atmosphere throughout the sect grew incredibly heavy.
Finally, one week later, the hidden powerhouses emerged from beneath Heart Peak.
And according to the Jiangshi reports...
Every single one of them looked exhausted. Even Patriarch Hong Tianyue appeared drained. The man who usually carried overwhelming majesty now looked visibly tired. The hidden ancestors seemed even worse.
Their already aged appearances had deteriorated further.
The Perishing Lute Ancestor appeared so weak afterward that she needed support from two elders while walking. The discussions that followed between the sect Elders eventually revealed enough information for Han Yu to piece together the truth.
The ritual had succeeded.
The Blood Sect really had managed to send their message into the Immortal Realm.
However...
Receiving a reply would take time.
Potentially a very long time.
Apparently the process was not instantaneous at all.
