---

Lei Tianyu stepped into the cave, arriving at the altar and placing Sun Ru on it.

He then performed several more incantations on the circular disk, causing the cave entrance to revert to a stone wall.

Unnoticed by him, before the entrance disappeared, a tiny bug slowly crawled into the cave.

Arriving late, Song Wen, who had just reached the lakeside, stared at the dark lake surface for a while before retreating to a dense thicket, concealing his aura and hiding there.

...

Lei Tianyu untied the black cloth bag and released the unconscious Sun Ru.

He quickly stripped her naked and left her lying on the cold altar.

Perhaps due to the shock of the cold and hard altar, Sun Ru slowly regained consciousness, finding herself completely naked in a pitch-black, unfamiliar environment, with a man cloaked in black standing beside her.

At only seventeen years old, a girl who had always been under her father's protection, she had never encountered such a situation.

"Ah..."

Sun Ru let out a terrified scream and tried to get up in a panic.

Lei Tianyu cast a spell, and a powerful force restrained her. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't move, only able to twist and turn on the altar covered in dried blood.

After a moment, Sun Ru realized her predicament and was overwhelmed with fear and despair.

"Where is this?"

"Who are you?"

"Why have you kidnapped me?"

"What do you want to do?"

Her voice was filled with terror and anxiety as she shouted loudly.

Lei Tianyu ignored her pleas and placed nine mid-grade spirit stones into the nine grooves around the altar's array.

Next, he cut open his left wrist with his hand, and a large stream of blood flowed from it, dripping onto the array on the ground.

Lei Tianyu walked slowly around the altar, letting the blood drip continuously from his wrist.

After all the array patterns around the altar were stained red with blood, he stopped.

At this point, due to excessive blood loss, Lei Tianyu's face turned extremely pale, but his eyes were filled with intense excitement.

The array patterns on the ground began to glow, emitting a faint blood-colored light. The thunder patterns on the altar were also activated, slowly emitting a blood-colored radiance.

In an instant, it seemed as if some indescribable divine power was awakened. A profound, unfathomable force, not belonging to the current cultivation world, descended into the cave, and a mysterious pressure appeared, weighing heavily on Sun Ru and Lei Tianyu.

Lei Tianyu used spirit power to seal his wound, faced the altar, and sat cross-legged, pressing his hands firmly into two grooves on the altar's stone wall.

Silver lightning flickered from his hands. The lightning initially only flowed over his hands but gradually spread to the entire altar.

Countless small, bright lightning bolts jumped and moved across the altar.

Sun Ru, lying on the altar and unable to move, was not harmed by the lightning, but she was filled with an inexplicable terror. She screamed and cried out.

"Please let me go..."

"Who are you? What are you trying to do..."

Suddenly, she felt a powerful suction force coming from the altar beneath her, relentlessly pulling at her back.

In the blink of an eye, all the flesh in contact with the altar was violently torn apart.

"Ah... Father, where are you? Come save your daughter. It hurts, it really hurts..."

As Sun Ru's heart-wrenching cries echoed, her blood spread across the entire altar, then flowed down the stone walls of the altar.

Sun Ru gradually felt her soul being torn apart, forcibly extracted from her body by the altar. Her consciousness became increasingly blurry, and she knew she was about to die, her soul about to be scattered.

But she was filled with unwillingness and resentment. She couldn't understand why someone who had never done evil would suffer such a calamity.

What exactly is that man in black scheming, and what is this altar?

In the midst of unimaginable agony, Sun Ru felt her soul being torn into fragments, completely losing consciousness.

Along with the soul, a certain inexplicable talent was also being pulled away.

As the blood flowed down, Lei Tianyu's hands pressed against the stone wall became gradually covered in fresh blood.

The blood that flowed around seemed to be suddenly drawn by some force, gathering into several red blood snakes that surged towards Lei Tianyu's hands.

The blood snakes crawled up his arms and onto his face.

Then, like frightened snakes returning to their nest, they frantically wriggled into his mouth and nose.

As the blood snakes entered, Lei Tianyu's face suddenly contorted in pain.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Lei Tianyu raised his head and let out heart-wrenching, agonized howls.

With his mouth wide open, the blood snakes flowed into his body more swiftly.

Soon, the cries turned into even more intense, hysterical howls of pain.

After a quarter of an hour, Lei Tianyu curled up on the ground, panting heavily, drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked through.

Gradually recovering from the excruciating pain, Lei Tianyu slowly sat up and began to meditate.

Two hours later, Lei Tianyu opened his eyes.

With a thought, a surge of lightning appeared in the palm of his open right hand. Observing the lightning in his hand, now more powerful than ever, his bloodshot eyes reflected intense excitement from the recent agony.

He clenched his right hand, causing the lightning to dissipate.

Standing up, he casually discarded Sun Ru's shriveled corpse, which had lost most of its blood, into a pile of rubble.

After cleaning up the remaining flesh on the altar, Lei Tianyu opened the cave entrance and left.

...

Looking at the horizon, Lei Tianyu mounted his sword and flew off. Once he confirmed that there was no one within several miles, Song Wen dove into the lake.

Lei Tianyu emerged from the underwater cave, but the black-armored insect that had followed him was still in the cave. Using his connection with the insect, Song Wen easily located the stone wall that led into the cave.

Although it was daytime, the underwater cave remained pitch-black.

Song Wen used his spiritual sense to scan for a while and then took out a glowing stone to illuminate the stone wall, but he still couldn't distinguish any difference between the stone wall and ordinary underwater rocks.

Whether through sight, spiritual sense, or direct touch, the stone wall felt like an ordinary stone wall. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After searching the vicinity, Song Wen concluded that without the circular disk Lei Tianyu had, it would be impossible to open the stone wall and enter the cave.

Unable to find a way in from the outside, he had to place his hopes on the black-armored insect still inside the cave, attempting to find an exit from within.

The underwater cave was naturally formed rather than man-made, and there was a possibility of other passages.

Under Song Wen's guidance, the black-armored insect searched various parts of the cave.

First, it explored the stone walls around the cave but found no exits. However, it discovered that the cave was very large, with the longest distance exceeding ten miles.

The cave was extremely irregular, resembling a gourd shape, composed of two somewhat irregular circular caverns with a clearly narrowed section in between.

The altar was located in the larger of the two caverns.
