After Luo Yu entered the black passage,
everything before him turned pitch black.
He felt as if the sky was spinning and the earth was overturning.
For a moment, it seemed as if he was teleported to a distant place.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
Below his feet was empty space, and he was continuously falling.
"In mid-air?"
Luo Yu called out, quickly gathering his wits.
He spread out his wings behind him, stabilizing his body.
His gaze swiftly found the location of Bi Bidong and the other two women below him, who had already used their Soul Power to control their bodies.
They were slowly descending.
"Bang bang bang!"
Without any mishap, they each landed one after another.
"Is this the Rakshasa Secret Realm?" Bossi said while looking around.
"Yes," Bi Bidong confirmed.
Hulena looked around with eyes full of curiosity; this was her first time being so close to the relics left behind by the deities.
In fact, Martial Soul Hall's Douluo Divine Hall also contained relics left by the God of Angels.
But Qian Daoliu had always kept it tightly sealed, preventing Hulena from getting the chance to enter.
Luo Yu looked up.
The sky was very high above the ground, with a bizarre blood-colored crescent moon hanging in the sky.
A putrid wind met his nose, nauseating.
His eyes swept around, the ground was scorched and barren, devoid of any signs of life.
"An independent mini-world,"
Luo Yu made a preliminary judgment quickly.
"What is that?" Hulena suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Hmm?"
Luo Yu followed Hulena's gaze and saw eight huge, dried-up pits surrounding a ghastly pale altar.
It looked exceedingly sinister.
"What is this?" Luo Yu asked Bi Bidong.
Bi Bidong's brows were tightly knitted, her eyes gravely serious.
She did not respond right away.
"Dong'er?" Luo Yu called softly.
"Brother Yu, there's a problem," Bi Bidong said gravely.
Luo Yu became alert, "What's wrong?"
The others around also gravitated towards Bi Bidong unconsciously.
Especially Tang Chen.
Having just been harmed by the Rakshasa God, he now found himself in the Rakshasa God's den.
Naturally, he was apprehensive.
Bi Bidong pointed towards the gigantic eight pits and the eerie pale altar.
"When I came here to accept the inheritance before, none of these things existed."
"What?" Tang Chen exclaimed in shock.
Both Bossi and Hulena's bodies shook at the same time.
Luo Yu frowned, "Old Tang, as big and strong as you are, what are you screaming for?"
"Indeed, you scared all of us," Hulena murmured under her breath, unable to hold back her complaint.
Tang Chen touched his nose.
"A relic site of the deities can only be entered by one person at a time, and only when that person dies does the next one get a chance to enter."
"So if all these things suddenly appeared here, and Bi Bidong says she didn't do it, then there certainly must be a big problem."
Luo Yu scoffed,
"What are you afraid of?"
"It's probably not the work of a human."
"It could be the doings of the Rakshasa God."
Tang Chen shuddered violently, almost jumping up as he vigilantly surveyed his surroundings.
"Damn it!"
"Now I'm even more scared."
"I just barely escaped with my life; I can't walk into a trap again."
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, "The Rakshasa God has toyed with you for so many years, nearly playing you to death."
"Isn't this the perfect opportunity for revenge? What are you scared of?"
Tang Chen's scalp tingled, "Anger is one thing, but I have to have the power to seek revenge, don't I?"
"I can stand up to mortals, but this is the Rakshasa God we're talking about!"
Luo Yu nodded.
He didn't mock Tang Chen either.
Fearlessness toward the gods deserves applause; fear of them is understandable.
Bi Bidong asked, "Brother Yu, what should we do now?"
"The situation is unclear; how about we retreat first?" Tang Chen suggested.
"Didn't ask you." Bi Bidong shot back with a spike in her phoenix eyes.
Luo Yu said with a smile:
"We've come all this way; is there any reason to leave now?"
"Everyone, be alert. If there is some unknown existence in this space, it's likely already aware of us."
He pointed to the eight huge pits and the direction of the sacrificial altar.
"Come on, let's check it out and see what's going on."
"Hey, even without the teacher's Killing God Field, I can use my Soul Power now," Hulena said in surprise.
Luo Yu rolled his eyes.
"Would the territory of the Rakshasa God allow the suppressive domain of the Asura God to intrude?"
"Naturally, our Soul Powers are unaffected."
Hulena pouted her lips.
"Brother Yu, you make it sound as if I'm really dumb."
"Shh!"
Bi Bidong adopted a stern teacher's demeanor.
"This isn't the place for jokes."
"Be ready to mobilize your Soul Power at any moment, in case of an ambush."
Soon, the group arrived at the edge of the large pits.
The pungent stench of blood was intense enough to be maddening.
The three women covered their noses, their pretty faces full of disgust.
At the bottom of the eight pits, remnants of dark red liquid stained the bottom, and in the dried soil above, one could faintly make out decaying limbs.
The tall altar was startlingly constructed from grim white bones.
"Where did these huge bones come from?" Bossi's silver eyes shone with light.
Hulena hesitated, "Even a giant's bones couldn't be this large."
Luo Yu's dark eyes were profound as he spoke in a low voice:
"These aren't human bones; they're constructed from Dragon Bones after refinement."
"Dragon Bones?" Everyone looked at Luo Yu in unison.
"That's right, Dragon Bones."
Luo Yu could be so certain because he possessed the Dragon God Martial Soul and had absorbed the Dragon King Soul Bones, which naturally gave him a strong affinity with the Dragon Clan.
"An altar built with Dragon Bones, and what's the purpose of these eight Blood Pools around it?" Bossi analyzed, "Is it to worship something?"
Luo Yu's Soul Power surged, protecting his body.
Dragon wings unfurled behind him.
He flew to the top of the altar, and his gaze sharpened.
On the altar, there was a nearly two-meter-long blood-colored imprint that was clearly humanoid.
"Has someone stayed up there?"
"Is it for someone to be sacrificed, or for someone to receive the sacrifice?"
Luo Yu pondered, but could not come to a conclusion, and everyone was equally puzzled.
"Dong'er, where is the Rakshasa God Temple?"
Bi Bidong's graceful figure shifted.
"Over here, follow me."
"Are we really going deeper into this small world?" Tang Chen was still hesitant.
"What? Are you chickening out already?" Luo Yu's mouth curved in amusement.
"Just joking, I, Tang Chen, am never afraid."
Following Bi Bidong across the barren black land, under the strange glow of the blood moon, they walked for several miles.
The sight in the distance captured the gaze of Luo Yu and the others.
A mile away, a towering and magnificent black temple stood.
Ancient architectural style with dark green tiles covering the roof, reflecting an ink-like light.
The two great doors were tightly shut.
Six ferocious Rakshasa evil spirits were carved on them, with eyes firmly closed.
Everyone stopped in their tracks for a long time, without moving their feet towards the temple.
Tang Chen's voice trembled with hesitation.
"Um... Can I decide not to go over there?"
"You've come all this way, and you're not curious about what's inside?" Luo Yu said.
"I am curious," Tang Chen breathed rapidly, "but... curiosity could kill."
"Do you guys want to go in and take a look?" Luo Yu turned to face the three women.
