It felt good to have such a maid.

“Don’t worry, you’re already mine. When the time comes, I’ll prepare some top-grade cultivation techniques for you to compensate for your losses.”

Zhou Han promised. After all, Mei Ji was already one of them. There were naturally benefits for her.

“Thank you, Master!” Mei Ji said happily, not taking it seriously.

“Boom!”

A loud bang interrupted Zhou Han and Mei Ji’s conversation.

The sky was filled with endless blood.

Within a kilometer, there was a blood-colored sea. A bloody and violent aura rushed over fiercely.

The powerful power surged like a tide, constantly destroying everything on the ground.

[The Blood Sacrifice Array has been completely activated. You will lose 5% of your HP per second.]

The notification scrolled on the virtual interface and was seen by Zhou Han.

“Blood Sacrifice Array?”

Zhou Han finally remembered that when he entered the Shadow Forest, a notification had appeared. It would open in a minute.

Zhou Han looked at the message record and found a few notifications.

[The first step of the Blood Sacrifice Array has been activated. You will lose 0.1% of your HP per second.]

[The second step of the Blood Sacrifice Array has been completed. You will lose 0.5% of your HP per second.]

[The third step of the Blood Sacrifice Array has been completed. You will lose 1.2% of your HP per second.]

…

As expected, there were reminders, but because Zhou Han and Mei Ji were fighting fiercely just now,

He did not notice the activation of the Blood Sacrifice Array, and he did not lose much health. It did not affect Zhou Han’s completion.

The Desolation Set on him had the effect of healing, recovering 4% of his maximum HP per second.

Now that the Blood Sacrifice Array had been completely activated and lost 5% per second, it had already exceeded the recovery speed.

However, he naturally had HP recovery pills and potions on him. It was not a big problem.

Zhou Han glanced around and realized that Mei Ji’s expression was the same.

He glanced at the [Witch Cloak] on her.

His pupils constricted. Good lord, it was actually Divine-grade equipment.

If not for the equipment restricting women to wear it, Zhou Han would have taken it off her body.

“This Blood Sacrifice Array was set up by the Shadow Emperor. Only by absorbing a large amount of blood will the ruins of the Imperial Palace be opened.”

Seeing that Zhou Han did not speak, Mei Ji took the initiative to explain.

“Absorb blood? Those tens of thousands of demon soldiers suddenly came probably planned long ago to cause a large number of killings!” Zhou Han said.

“The killing caused by this is far from enough to open the ruins of the Imperial Palace. Therefore, after these tens of thousands of Demon Army soldiers completed the mission, their blood has probably been sucked dry by the Blood Sacrifice Array.”

Mei Ji continued. Her eyes were calm and she was not surprised.

“Hiss! This Shadow Emperor is so ruthless.”

Hearing this, Zhou Han’s heart trembled. No wonder there were tens of thousands of demon soldiers on such a large scale, but he did not see a trace along the way.

“This is very common among demons. Those lowly demonkin can be sacrificed by high-level demons at any time.”

“Moreover, the demons can reproduce very quickly. This is also why other races are afraid of the demons,” Mei Ji continued to explain.

“The demons are indeed crazy. Everyone has the right to kill them!”

For a moment, the scene was silent. After all, Mei Ji was also a demon, but she did not dare to say anything.

“Boom!”

A loud bang shook the realm.

The Blood Sacrifice Array above his head shattered with a bang, turning into a blood-colored sea that surged with violent blood energy.

They gathered and hit a passageway on the ground.

“Master, the passageway to the ruins of the Imperial Palace will open soon,” Mei Ji said solemnly.

“The ruins of the Imperial Palace? Is the treasure you mentioned hidden there?” Zhou Han was very interested and hurriedly asked.

“It’s rumored that this is the palace where the ancient supreme expert, the Soul Control Sovereign, lived. There are countless secret treasures, countless spiritual herbs, and even various powerful ancient inheritances.”

“As long as I can obtain the inheritance inside, after cultivating it, I won’t be invincible, but I can dominate an area.”

As Mei Ji spoke, her eyes were filled with longing.

“Since this place is so magical, why did the Shadow Emperor only make a move today?” Zhou Han asked curiously.

Mei Ji was a little speechless. Why was her master like a newbie?

‘Shouldn’t all the strong know that?’

But she naturally did not dare show it and explained patiently.

“The Soul Control Sovereign had two pets. One is a Shadow Cat, and the other is a Blood Toad.”

“Because too much time has passed, the Shadow Cat and the Blood Toad have already grown into terrifying Divine-grade existences.”

“With the two of them guarding the Imperial Palace passageway, who do you think dares to enter easily?”

Divine-grade?

Zhou Han’s pupils constricted. Under the influence of the Soul Control Sovereign, two ordinary pets had actually grown to the Divine-grade.

How terrifying was this Soul Control Sovereign? He could not believe it.

“So, the blood energy collected by the Blood Sacrifice Array is to lure them away?” Zhou Han retracted his thoughts and guessed.

“Master, you’re indeed extremely smart. You understand at once. But you’re only half right.”

“Every ten thousand years, the Shadow Cat will fall into a deep sleep on this day.”

Mei Ji paused and continued.

“And that huge blood energy is the Blood Toad’s favorite. As long as it absorbs enough blood energy, it will sleep for ten hours.”

“Now you know the uniqueness of today! If you miss this opportunity, you have to wait another ten thousand years.”

“Moreover, we can only stay for ten hours after entering the ruins of the Imperial Palace. The various restrictions in the Imperial Palace are ordinary in the eyes of the Soul Control Sovereign.”

“However, it might be a fatal move in our eyes. It can be said that time is very tight. It’s not easy to obtain anything in the Imperial Palace.”

Zhou Han nodded. He roughly understood the situation.

He looked at Mei Ji in admiration. It was still useful to have a maid.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have learned these things so easily.

Clang!

With a more violent vibration, a huge light shot out, and two hundred-meter-tall huge doors slowly opened.

It bloomed with a rich ghostly light. A powerful and strange power circulated in it, and an ancient aura immediately floated out.

[The passageway to the Imperial Palace Ruins has been opened!]

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

…

Dozens of wind sounds tore through the air. Zhou Han shuttled past, turning into afterimages. They only had one goal, and that was the ruins of the Imperial Palace.

After all, it was equivalent to opening once every ten thousand years. No one wanted to miss such an opportunity.

“Looks like many experts are already prepared!”

Zhou Han casually used Appraisal to check. There were humans, demons, Spirit Race, Night Race, and so on. There were all kinds of races, and all of them were not experts.

In that case, it would be even more difficult to gain anything in the limited ten hours.

Not only were there all kinds of dangerous restrictions in the Imperial Palace, but they might also appear. These experts were killing each other.

“Master, let’s hurry up and go in!” Mei Ji said anxiously, waiting for Zhou Han’s order.

“Okay, let’s go!”

Zhou Han took a step forward. No one could resist the temptation of not exploring such a magical place.

However, before entering, Zhou Han still got the system to customize an alarm clock.

If he forgot about it while he was inside, he would be finished.

[You have discovered the special area ‘Imperial Palace Ruins’. Do you want to enter?]

When Zhou Han arrived in front of the hundred-meter-tall door, a system notification sounded.

“Enter!”

Zhou Han held Mei Ji’s hand in case she got lost during the teleportation. After all, her cultivation had already been broken, and her combat strength was very low.

As for why he brought her along, it was mainly because she had seen the map of the Imperial Palace. It was better than Zhou Han, who was not prepared at all. It could more or less be of some use.

With that, a light enveloped the two of them. It circulated quickly and disappeared.
