However, those ancestors also sensed that something was amiss.

They had expended quite a bit of Spiritual Power and Power of Laws, and now they felt that a suction force was forcibly absorbing their strength, which made them feel uneasy.

"Zi Wei Fairy, this bottle is too strange. Perhaps we should take a short rest and act again later!"

"That’s right, the next furnace opening time should be soon, it’s best to absorb some essence first!"

Immediately, these ancestors wanted to stop, after all, excessive power consumption was very dangerous for them.

"Fellow Daoists, if we stop now, all previous efforts will be in vain. Please forgive me!"

As soon as those words were spoken, a huge suction force suddenly emitted from the bottle.

"Not good!" The ancestors all exclaimed in surprise.

But caught off guard, quite a bit of their power was still siphoned away, making them extremely angry.

On Ye Luo’s side, the suction force suddenly increased, but the degree of increase was not greater than that of the ancestors because Ye Luo himself was already enduring a significant suction force. However, he used that peculiar energy to isolate part of it.

Thus, the current increase was not so great, but Ye Luo discreetly released some of that energy again.

Suddenly, the suction force returned to a controllable level.

"Zi Wei Fairy, what are you doing? We trusted you so much, and yet you do something like this!"

"Horrible, she might not be the Zi Wei Fairy, but rather the Heart Demon!"

"Indeed, we’ve all been deceived. Damn it, let’s join forces to eliminate her!"

The ancestors also realized this, becoming incredibly angry. If she was truly the Heart Demon, their chances of being sacrificed were immense.

"Ha ha, you only just realized, don’t you think it’s too late now?" With that, the Zi Wei Fairy began to laugh crazily.

At the same time, her appearance changed dramatically.

Her looks remained the same as before, but now her body was shrouded in dark energy, and her originally white garments had turned as black as ink, exuding an endless eerie aura.

Ye Luo also widened his eyes; indeed, she was the Heart Demon, and she had indeed deceived Ye Luo!

Damn it! Along with his anger, he was also on guard, now that she revealed her true face, she was undoubtedly going to initiate the sacrifice, which meant she would certainly aim to take his Divine Soul’s power.

Therefore, Ye Luo released more energy and prepared the remaining energy.

Sure enough, the suction force continued to grow, almost instantly reaching twice its previous magnitude.

Even though Ye Luo promptly released energy, his Divine Soul was still almost drawn out, causing him a wave of lingering fear.

The Zi Wei Fairy was already somewhat anxious; she couldn’t understand why, with such a strong suction force, Ye Luo’s Divine Soul hadn’t been pulled out?

Without Ye Luo’s Divine Soul, the sacrifice couldn’t be initiated, and if dragged on, she wouldn’t be able to resist the attacks from the ancestors!

"Damn it, suck it out!" she shouted angrily.

Suddenly, the suction force became even greater.

However, it was of no use to Ye Luo; that strange energy had already enveloped him, completely blocking out his Divine Soul Power.

He even had time to absorb the essence to elevate his realm; now he had reached the Peak of the ninth level, trying to enter the Heavenly Martial Realm.

But he found despairingly that it was simply impossible!

He didn’t know whether it was due to substantial accumulation; entering the Heavenly Martial Realm was much more difficult, leaving him quite helpless, especially since once he entered the Heavenly Martial Realm, his overall strength would immediately rise significantly.

But now, he could only describe it as a regret.

"No, what is that power, why can’t I sense his Divine Soul Power at all? This is terrible!" Zi Wei Fairy’s heart sank.

If she couldn’t acquire the Divine Soul Power, how could she trigger the sacrifice!

"Zi Wei Fairy, prepare to die!"

Suddenly, the surrounding ancestors, despite enduring the suction force, launched an attack on the Zi Wei Fairy.

Their hearts were filled with immense anger, being ancestors who had lived for countless years and yet had been thoroughly fooled.

"If that’s the case, then it must be handled this way!" Zi Wei Fairy muttered with a frown.

Now, it seemed impossible to obtain Ye Luo’s Divine Soul Power.

However, Ye Luo was just the prime candidate for sacrifice, not absolutely irreplaceable!

For instance, the Divine Souls of these ancestors were quite powerful and potentially usable.

Having thought this, she quickly withdrew the suction force from Ye Luo and redirected it towards a nearby ancestor.

"No!" Instantly, the old ancestor screamed in agony as his Divine Soul Power was ripped out!

Strictly speaking, it was his soul.

Bang!

A muffled sound echoed, and the flesh without a soul shattered instantly.

This scene made Zi Wei Fairy’s Divine Soul shudder.

"So much the better, again!"

Subsequently, she directed the suction force at another ancestor, feeling that dealing with these ancestors was much easier than dealing with Ye Luo.

However, she now harbored a strong intent to kill Ye Luo, because his displayed potential was simply too immense.

The other ancestor, although somewhat prepared, could only last a few seconds before his Divine Soul was absorbed.

The remaining ancestors had already been scared out of their wits, although they appeared to be ancestors among cultivators, they were nothing in front of the Zi Wei Fairy. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The first reaction of these ancestors was to escape!

Yet, they hadn’t gone far before two more souls were ripped out.

"These four souls should suffice!" Zi Wei Fairy finally withdrew the bottle, muttering to herself.

At this moment, Ye Luo suddenly stood up, grabbed Nuonuo beside him, and turned to run.

What a joke, he wouldn’t wait here to die!

Zi Wei Fairy frowned slightly, but ultimately did not pursue him.

"Merge into one!" She growled, and immediately, the four souls before her showed painful expressions. Gradually, these four souls merged into one entity.

"Good, the merge is perfect, then, sacrifice! Begin!"

With her words, a dense black aura emanated from the furnace, and immediately, the surrounding area was engulfed by the Dark Law.

In the next moment, the fused Soul Body entered the furnace.

...

Ye Luo gasped and escaped to the outskirts of the Spirit Pool.

The disciples there were still diligently cultivating, but upon seeing Ye Luo return somewhat disheveled, they all revealed looks of surprise.

However, they quickly returned to normal, after all, the Spirit Pool’s depths were rumored to be perilous, and they assumed Ye Luo had faced a crisis there.
