He said this, others did not understand, but Huang Hui did and so, Huang Hui was slightly taken aback.

Qin Xiao spoke, "Although I am powerless to resist, by now, I am wholeheartedly willing! The past was like a dream. I've made mistakes, acted wildly, and had my moments of glory. However, all these things, all like dreamlike bubbles. Today, only now do I realize the true meaning of life!"

As he spoke, he cast a deep look at Huang Hui, then turned around, looking at the group of innate realm puppet warriors who were attacking from the mountain below, giving a cold smile.

"Even though I, like you, am fundamentally a puppet, I have lived a more meaningful life! Even if I'm merely a falling star, the present me is indeed the most brilliant!" Qin Xiao spoke and his body suddenly evaporated into the void.

"What... what happened to Qin Xiao? Where did he suddenly disappear to?" Hua Sanniang rubbed her eyes, asking in astonishment.

He Feng furrowed his brows, murmuring, "I'm afraid... he sacrificed his own life."

"But why did he say that he was a puppet?" Hua Sanniang glanced at Huang Hui, who stood aside with sorrow etched on her face, feeling quite perplexed.

Huang Hui didn't say anything, only gazed into the void.

At that point, in the clearly visible void, it suddenly began raining blood, a sight that was really peculiar.

Everyone was stunned by the scene. As the blood rain touched those puppet warriors attacking from below, their bodies instantly started to smoke, some even caught fire.

The puppet warriors began shrieking in agony, many burnt to death right on the spot.

The entire scene was reminiscent of a mortal purgatory.

Even Hua Sanniang and the others were frightened, their faces pale with terror.

The blood rain increased, altering Li Zhu's facial expression completely. She said coldly between gritted teeth, "This is the Demon Clan's sacrificial technique, transforming life into blood rain, burning all enemies!"

Li Hong stood next to Li Zhu, looking horrified at the event, he asked Li Zhu, "What do we do now? Should we call those people back?"

"No use, anyone touched by this blood rain will die!" Li Zhu said coldly, an infinite hatred evident on her face.

Just like Li Zhu said, nearly all the innate realm puppet warriors were tainted by the blood rain. Even though they continued their desperate ascent towards the top of the mountain, it was all in vain!

The closest one reached the mountain top, but his entire body crumbled into dust right in front of Hua Sanniang and the others, turning into ash.

Not long after, the whole mountain fell into eerie silence!

All of the innate realm puppet warriors were eradicated by the blood rain.

The rain of blood in the sky gradually became scarce, dwindling to a drizzle. At last, as the final droplet fell to the ground, the whole world returned to normal.

However, Qin Xiao, had disappeared forever.

Huang Hui gripped her lips tightly as a slight mist filled her eyes. She murmured, "Qin Xiao, thank you for everything you've done for us, I'll let the young master know!"

A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling Huang Hui's silky hair, as if echoing Qin Xiao's comforting words.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Zhu was still surrounded by a dozen people, apart from Li Hong, all were bitterly hardworking folks from Beyond Heaven. Now they were all under Li Zhu's control. They were all rendered speechless by the shocking scene.

Nearly a thousand innate realm puppet warriors perished like that.

Qin Xiao's methods were beyond their comprehension!

Behind Li Zhu, there were still over five hundred innate realm puppet warriors. These were the actual elites of Li Zhu's group!

These prenatally conditioned puppet warriors wore blank expressions on their faces. They were puppets with nothing left but a strong sense of combat. They had little consciousness, yet their combat instinct was extremely powerful!

These five hundred could easily wipe out the previous thousands of puppet warriors in the same realm!

They were, indeed, Li Zhu's secret weapon.

Looking at the mountain in front of him, his face incredibly somber, Li Zhu let out a cold laugh as the last drop of blood rain fell, shouting loudly, "Hua Sanniang! He Feng! Hua Xiaoya! Today is the day One Sword ceases to exist in this world entirely!"

Speaking, his gaze turned to Shen Aoshuang, "Shen Aoshuang, is it? Today, I'm going to send you to reunite with your Immortal ancestors!"

In the end, Li Zhu's gaze fell on Huang Hui, "As for you… I won't let you die so easily! You managed to make Qin Xiao die for you, the secrets you carry are far more than I imagined! So, the only one who will survive today, will be you!"

"Bah!" Huang Hui responded with one word to Li Zhu.

"Li Zhu, you demon, one day you'll get your comeuppance!" Hua Sanniang knew there was no escape, even if they killed these over thousand puppet warriors, Li Zhu still had so many by his side. But her innate pride and audacity remained unabated as she angrily rebuked Li Zhu.

He Feng's face was grave; he was not afraid to die but loved his daughter dearly. He took one look at Hua Xiaoya beside him.

With a shabby iron sword in her grasp, Hua Xiaoya's face bore a radiant smile. She said, "Father, Mother, being your daughter has been the greatest joy in my life!"

Tears welled and fell from Hua Sanniang's eyes in an instant. She could be proud and unyielding in the face of enemies, but facing her own daughter, she felt nothing but profound sorrow.

"I failed you; I didn't protect you," Hua Sanniang lamented through her tears.

With reddened eyes, Hua Xiaoya held Hua Sanniang's hand and said, "Mother, don't say that. In my next life, I will still be your daughter!"

"Father, in our next life, the three of us must be together!" she said as she took He Feng's hand.

"Hmm!" He Feng heartily agreed.

Both Shen Aoshuang and Huang Hui held back tears at this scene.

From the foot of the mountain, Li Zhu sneered coldly, "Next life? Keep dreaming! I will scatter your souls!"

Scatter our souls?" Huang Hui's delicate face revealed her contempt, "So what? Death is death! I will trigger the Heavenly Tribulation!"

This was Huang Hui's last move. Though she had awakened her bloodline and inherited her legacy while in the desolated ruins, she still did not have enough time or the right cultivation realm. To fight against the five hundred warriors with Li Zhu, this was her only way left.

"Heavenly Tribulation? Yes let's all trigger the Heavenly Tribulation!" Hua Xiaoya's eyes brightened, she muttered, "Even if dying… we do so blazing brightly!"

Hua Sanniang, He Feng, and Shen Aoshuang's faces all showed a resolute determination as they exclaimed in unison, "Trigger the Heavenly Tribulation!"

All of these people had reached cultivation levels that could pass the tribulation, but none of them had taken that step as they hadn't been sure of victory.

After all, in the Mortal Realm, it has been too many years since anyone managed to pass the tribulation successfully and ascend to another realm.

Except for Chu Mo's mysterious master as he originally did not belong to this world.

If so many people triggered the Heavenly Tribulation at once, who knows what the result would be? But one thing was for certain; the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would be far greater than normal!

Facing the tribulation is an act of defiance against the Heavenly Dao.

If all these people were to do it at once, they would trigger the wrath of Heavenly Dao. How could the resulting Heavenly Tribulation be minor?
