"You really dare to begin!" Xuanyuan Changkong's eyebrows raised.

"Heh! Grandpa, no need to worry, Xuanyuan Jing absolutely cannot succeed!" Xuanyuan Ya's expression was extremely cold, sinister and venomous as she looked at Xuanyuan Jing.

As long as Xuanyuan Jing's 'Holy Descent' fails, she will undoubtedly be dead!

A one in a million chance, too small, too slim.

And at this moment.

Xuanyuan Jing knelt on the altar, letting her blood drip onto the runes of the altar.

In an instant, the altar vibrated fiercely, trembling... the brightness surged!

At that instant.

The black mountains near the Forbidden Land began to tremble, as if resurrected, dancing and gesturing.

The Holy Descent had finally begun!

Lin Fan stood close to Xuanyuan Jing and could clearly sense Xuanyuan Jing's special state; Lin Fan only felt that the life force of the Xuanyuan Sword was rapidly depleting.

Additionally.

Xuanyuan Jing's aura became incredibly weak!

Not just weak, her face was becoming paler and paler...

Yet, the altar beneath Xuanyuan Jing's feet continued to shine brightly with intensity, radiant with dazzling brilliance, incomparable to anything else!

The various arrays within the Forbidden Land also underwent earth-shattering changes.

One by one, arrays lit up, were activated.

"Buzz!"

A terrifying force of heaven and earth erupted from the Forbidden Land, and everyone within the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan's realm was startled!

Not only within the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan, but guests remaining in the Holy City of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan were also alarmed.

"What's happening?"

"This aura... so terrifying... what on earth is happening?"

"In the direction of the Sword Tomb... could some unimaginable divine artifact be about to emerge?"

"Very likely!"

"Go! Let's take a look!"

Within the Holy City of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan, countless guests who had not yet departed were excitedly soaring towards the Forbidden Land.

And inside the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan, countless clansmen simultaneously raised their heads, looking toward the Forbidden Land in amazement.

"Is this..."

"Has someone initiated the Holy Descent ceremony?"

"Who is it? To create such a commotion..."

"Could it be..."

"Such a commotion can only be caused by someone of royal blood; go! Let's see!"

The billions of onlookers from the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan also flew toward the Forbidden Land.

The more, the merrier. The area outside the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan's Forbidden Land was becoming increasingly crowded and bustling with variety.

Among them were many familiar faces to Lin Fan, Li Cangqiong, Lu Lingbo, Diwu Yun'er, Su Xiao, and others, who had not left and came rushing over at this moment.

They saw Lin Fan standing near the altar, equally shocked.

Xuanyuan Jing still knelt there, continuously kowtowing, her delicate brows bruised from the relentless smashing, blood flowing ceaselessly.

"Ancestral spirits, please descend upon me! Descendant Xuanyuan Jing is willing to exchange my life for the prosperity of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan for generations! I beg the ancestors to fulfill this!" Xuanyuan Jing cried out loud, her voice hoarse from shouting.

And the commotion near the altar grew even larger.

Not only were there various sounds coming from the void.

At the same time, visions emerged one after another: ancient giants, War Gods in war armor, gods with wings, wise men in white robes... various apparitions of Xuanyuan Ancient Clan ancestors appeared in the void, anomalies appearing frequently.

"Visions! These are the visions of the ancestors!"

"Great! She seems to be succeeding?"

"Haha! Heaven blesses my Xuanyuan Ancient Clan! Someone is about to succeed in the Holy Descent?"

...

The unaware Xuanyuan Ancient Clan members were extremely excited; many even jumped for joy.

However, Xuanyuan Ya and Xuanyuan Changkong's faces completely returned to calm as various anomalies appeared.

"Damn it! How did this happen? Could it be... she's really about to succeed in the Holy Descent? I'm unwilling, so unwilling! Really unwilling!" Xuanyuan Ya gritted her teeth, almost crushing them as she glared viciously at Xuanyuan Jing kneeling on the altar.

And Xuanyuan Jing.

Kept on kowtowing incessantly.

Persistently pleading with the ancestors of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan to descend!

The air of momentum grew larger, various anomalies filled the sky, illuminating the entire area outside the Forbidden Land as brightly as daylight.

It looked like the Holy Descent was about to succeed!

Xuanyuan Changkong looked ashen!

Xuanyuan Ya's body trembled.

Both of them were fearful, terrified.

Could Xuanyuan Jing really succeed?

"Haha! Nearly succeeded!"

"Really nearly succeeded! After ten million years, someone has finally succeeded in the Holy Descent again."

"Wonderful! Who is this woman? Once she succeeds in the Holy Descent, we can honor her as the new Clan Leader."

"Isn't she that Xuanyuan Jing? A royalty bloodline that was wandering out there, I never thought she'd have the courage to attempt the Holy Descent!"

The billions of cultivators from the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan present were excitedly discussing.

Each one was thrilled.

Passionate.

Trembling.

Excited.

And it was at this critical moment.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly.

The sky outside the Forbidden Land abruptly halted all phenomena.

The ancient giants, War Gods in war armor, gods with wings, wise men in white robes... the various apparitions of Xuanyuan Ancient Clan ancestors, in a moment.

Vanished!

All the phenomena disappeared at that moment, thoroughly and completely gone.

At that instant.

The excited members of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan had their smiles frozen, and all the excitement and fervor in their hearts vanished, like a bucket of cold water poured over them.

Xuanyuan Changkong and Xuanyuan Ya were dumbfounded.

Then.

"Hahahahaha!"

Xuanyuan Ya laughed, bursting into such excitement that tears almost came out.

"Hahaha! It's hilarious, Grandpa! Did you see that? This bitch, she failed the Holy Descent! She failed! Hahaha!"

"Fool!"

"Truly a fool! A one in a million chance, did you think it would be so easy to succeed?"

"Just now was terrifying! So frightening! How big a commotion, did you want to scare me to death? Xuanyuan Jing, go on! Continue the Holy Descent, we're waiting!"

Xuanyuan Ya mocked with a sneer, her face distorted yet playful.

The scene was deathly silent!

Only Xuanyuan Ya's voice remained.

It was extremely jarring.

Listening to Xuanyuan Ya's mockery.

"Puh!"

Xuanyuan Jing's delicate face turned as white as snow, spitting out a mouthful of blood, as if she instantly aged a million years, transforming from a lively and vivacious maiden into someone on the verge of death, at the end of her life and vitality!

Did she really...fail the Holy Descent?

Xuanyuan Jing couldn't accept it in her heart.

Her ears only filled with Xuanyuan Ya's endless mocking laughter.

"Young Master Lin... I'm sorry, I failed! Kill me..." Xuanyuan Jing turned back, looking at Lin Fan with despair, her delicate face pale under the moonlight, despairingly closing her eyes.

"Who says you failed the Holy Descent?" Lin Fan's gaze sank.

Then.

Under the gaze of billions of eyes, he stepped forward!

With a wave of his hand, a Xuanyuan Sword appeared, slashing across his palm.

Blood from Lin Fan's palm gushed out like a spring!

"Outsider, Lin Fan, requesting Holy Descent," Lin Fan stepped forward and declared.
