Chapter 896: Fú Wéi Shàng Xiǎng
The sacrifices of the human race have been divided into two parts since ancient times.
One is ancestral sacrifice, the other is heaven sacrifice.
Among them, ancestral sacrifice, as the name suggests, naturally refers to Xuanyou.
Although what the Human Emperor sacrificed was not Xuanyou, but the Human Ancestor, it can also be understood; even if it caused ripples in everyone's hearts before, it ultimately cannot be counted as overstepping.
As the Human Emperor, sacrificing to the Human Ancestor can barely be considered within the scope of etiquette.
But the "heaven" in heaven sacrifice is something even the Human Emperor cannot change!
This heaven, before the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou left, represented all the ancient Heavenly Daos of Wanggu!
After he left Wanggu, the decree from outside the heavens stated that from Dong Sheng, heaven is the Holy Land!
Not only the human race, but all groups in Wanggu without gods are within this decree from outside the heavens!
Their heaven sacrifice is the same, going to worship the Holy Land closest to their bloodline!
If one does not worship, it is rebellion; such groups often perish in the following years due to various accidents!
Although the Holy Land rarely appears in Wanggu, they are high above outside the heavens, relying on some special means to finally hold the hearts of all groups in Wanggu!
Therefore, the heaven sacrifice ceremonies of past Human Emperors were all offerings to the Holy Land!
Today, the Empress seems to be no exception!
She stands on the Altar of Heaven, her upright posture like a high mountain, as if she can become a heaven and earth protecting all living things!
Destiny surrounds her left and right, the Imperial Robe is on her body, and there is even a condensed
Imperial Crown, shining with brilliant light!
While her expression is confident and composed, her sharp eyes seem capable of piercing through the sky, gazing into the Holy Land above the sky!
Her well-defined face reveals incomparable firmness at this moment!
This scene, falling into the eyes of the ministers, causes their hearts to be unable to calm down; it is truly because the events of this day, for them, are like walking through half a life!
The events that appeared were too subversive!
And every single one of them vaguely has a feeling!
This sacrifice, up to now, is only a beginning!
In the next scenes, I am afraid there will be an even greater storm descending!
And what the storm is, they cannot guess, because the mind of this Empress, over these years, no one can fathom!
How she and Xuan Zhan had such love and hate, and how she ascended the throne, how much hardship and tribulation she experienced in this, I am afraid only she knows!
And what can be seen by everyone is that she clearly never bowed to fate!
With wisdom and courage, over these years, she wrote a legend belonging to herself among the human race!
Although she is a woman, although she does not possess the royal bloodline, all the princes and ministers inside and outside the Ancient Emperor Star are convinced in their hearts!
Thus, at this moment, everyone inside and outside the Ancient Emperor Star is silent!
Xu Qing's heart also has many thoughts, recalling everything before; clearly, his own move was also within the scope of this Empress!
She perhaps knew my purpose on the first day I arrived at the Imperial Capital!
Xu Qing mutters in his heart!
Just like this, time passes breath by breath, until the forty-ninth breath arrives; the old eunuch beside the Human Emperor suddenly raises his head, his eyes revealing a sharp glint, his expression incomparably solemn, emitting the singing sound from the ancestral sacrifice!
"Heaven sacrifice ceremony, the prosperity of the human race, the heaven sacrificer's years are one less, so forty-nine is the limit."
"First ritual... please bring the human race's war flag."
As soon as these words are spoken, the heavens and earth churn, the mist formed by destiny in the sky blooms like a flower, rolling back toward all directions boomingly, and at the same time, streaks of blood light rush into the sky from the Ancient Emperor Star!
One after another!
A total of forty-nine streaks of blood light gather at one point in the sky, and there, like opening heaven and earth, tearing the void, tearing destiny, summoning a great flag placed in time to be nurtured!
The next instant, this flag appears!
The flag spreads out, covering the sky, becoming the sky, dancing like waves, its momentum unparalleled.
Causing the earth to darken, but there are clusters of life fire forming within the Ancient Emperor Star, outside the Ancient Emperor Star, in the Imperial Capital!
From every human.
Because this flag is the human race's war flag,
representing the will of the human race, representing the fighting spirit of the group, representing the dignity of everyone!
Even if this flag is not the oldest one, its significance is still unparalleled!
As for the oldest human war flag, it was crafted by the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou; the complete set is one main flag and three hundred and sixty sub-flags, which once accompanied him in unifying Wanggu!
Until the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou left Wanggu, the war flag was also taken away by him!
And the human race at that time decided to use countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures to re-craft the entire set of human war flags!
This post-Xuanyou era war flag accompanied the Dong Sheng Human Emperor in battle, absorbing countless alien blood!
Eventually, the Dong Sheng Human Emperor was defeated; although the main flag stood tall, too many sub-flags collapsed and shattered, scattered in Wanggu
Continent!
Even if each is incomplete, they still possess certain power!
Thus, these broken flags, some dissipated in the heavens and earth, some were collected by alien races, some were obtained by human cultivators; wanting to collect them all, the difficulty is too great!
For the human race, rather than spending effort to collect, it is better to re-craft!
So after the collection did not go smoothly, the human race gave up collecting!
And then it was re-crafted, and then it appeared in every major battle in the hands of other Human Emperors!
For countless years, this flag became the symbol of the human race, the icon of the human race!
It was filled with the blood of alien races; the moment it was displayed, the blood aura rose in this world, and the will of the human race also erupted instantly!
Invoking the bloodline power of all humans, forming a response!
Xu Qing is the same; he looks at the human war flag in the sky, his mind recalling the flag in the Seven Blood Eyes back then; although he does not understand the main and sub-flags, Xu Qing still sees that the materials of these two flags are similar, thinking they were once from the same source; as for the power, naturally, it is like the bright moon and fireflies!
Just as Xu Qing is observing the human war flag here, the old eunuch's
singing sound echoes again!
"War flag is out, sacrifice the flag."
"In all places and directions, open the heavenly prison."
"Sacrifice to my human war flag."
As soon as the old eunuch's words are spoken, the heavens and earth roar, thunder wanders inside and outside the human war flag, the sound is earth-shattering, and the next instant, the five departments of the Imperial Capital open their heavenly prisons!
Teams of human cultivators escort countless alien prisoners, heading straight for the human war flag in the sky!
The number is no less than ten million!
At this moment, all cultivators in the Imperial Capital look up and gaze, and the Ancient Emperor Star is the same!
Xu Qing's gaze sweeps over, freezing!
At the same time, the teleportation arrays in the Imperial Capital are also erupting, and at the other end of the teleportation arrays, the armies of the human race in various domains are also receiving the decree at this moment; they open the heavenly prisons of the garrison, escorting the prisoners out!
If there were a pair of eyes that could overlook the entire Imperial Capital Domain, then one could roughly calculate that the number of prisoners escorted at this moment is as many as fifty or sixty million!
This is the result of all alien cultivators captured since the Human Emperor of this generation ascended the throne, the vast majority of whom are the fruits of the war when the Dawn Sun appeared!
At this moment, following a single word spoken calmly by the Human Emperor!
"Behead."
In an instant, the ten million prisoners in the sky tremble violently, and amidst the hand-raising and blade-falling of the human cultivators behind them, miserable screams shake the heavens and earth!
Ten million heads fly, ten million corpses fall, countless fresh blood like rain!
But these do not fall toward the human world!
The next instant, following the traction formed within the human war flag covering the sky, turning into a vortex, these corpses and fresh blood are all invoked, rolling back straight toward the war flag!
At the same time, the teleportation arrays in all directions are also erupting, sending the corpses of war prisoners beheaded in various places, all together!
The moment they appear, they are all invoked to rise into the sky, merging into the human
war flag!
For a time, the human war flag is incomparably red, shocking to look at.
This scene can be described as bloody to the extreme; the cruelty between the groups of Wanggu can be seen from this!
Not only the human race is like this, but the sacrifice activities of other groups are also like the law of the jungle; these four words are the supreme law in the current Wanggu!
And after absorbing such flesh and blood, the human war flag is red, but vaguely still lacks some spirituality!
Thus, the second link of sacrificing the war flag appears!
That is sacrificing souls!
The next instant, the souls of these tens of millions of dead alien prisoners, locked in reincarnation, unable to ascend to heaven, can only appear in this heaven and earth; tens of millions of alien souls
wander in the sky, like a ghost domain, descending upon the human world!
It's just that the human world is not weak; ghost domains sometimes are not just sharp sounds, but also exist with miserable wails!
So in an instant, following the rumbling rotation of the human war flag vortex, these tens of millions of alien ghosts are like being devoured, all rolled into the human war flag!
Whistling, they all enter, being absorbed and becoming nourishment for the war flag!
Until this moment, the old eunuch's voice becomes passionate!
"Clan flag sacrifice completed, our Emperor shall sacrifice!"
The Empress is expressionless, her right hand raised, grabbing toward the sky!
Under this grab, the sky roars... appearing twisted, tilting toward the Empress!
Eventually, that human war flag covering the sky heads straight for the Empress!
The next instant, it is plucked from the sky by the Empress, grabbing the flagpole of the human war flag, and after holding the entire war flag in her hand, she waves the war flag toward the sky that has reappeared!
The flag dances, the flag like waves, spreading over the mid-air of the entire Imperial Capital; after waving a circle, it forms a red vortex in the sky!
It is not over; the Empress raises her hand and waves the war flag again!
Immediately, the blood-colored vortex becomes more violent, until after nine circles, the formed vortex turns into a blood-colored storm like a tornado, with monstrous power, with the power to shatter the void, tearing toward all directions in the sky!
As if wanting to open a gap, but the heaven of Wanggu Continent has a seal, and from outside to inside it is possible, but if from inside to outside, the price to be paid is extremely astonishing!
Xu Qing and Erniu back then also relied on the power of the Divine Domain to do this!
Now, seeing the Empress's move, Xu Qing's pupils shrink slightly,
the next instant, deafening sounds echo!
The Ancient Emperor Star shakes, the human race's destiny like a dragon, soaring into the sky, heading toward the center of the vortex and dropping fiercely.
Looking from afar, this destiny dragon roars, its body fluctuating intensely, as if going forward without hesitation!
At the same time, an even more terrifying fluctuation radiates from the Ancient Emperor Star, to be precise, from the golden divine fire burning on the Ancient Emperor Star!
Although this fire has not been completely completed, now it also possesses the aura of a god; following the roaring of the Ancient Emperor Star, it is invoked to rise into the sky, heading straight for the sky!
The blood-colored storm, with heaven-shaking momentum, like a long rainbow of the ages, burning everything.
It is not over; the next moment, the Empress raises her hand and throws it fiercely, using the human war flag in her hand as a long spear, shooting it out toward the sky!
The war flag spear, unstoppable, like a bamboo being split, as if everything blocking in front of it must be broken, and all barriers
must be torn apart by the unwilling will contained within its human destiny!
At the same time, her body also steps toward the sky, appearing at the peak of the sky, becoming the human race's destiny, becoming the human race's will, with her Human Emperor status, with her courage, her right hand clenched into a fist, punching toward heaven.
This is exactly using the flag wind as a vortex, her will as a guide, destiny as a dragon, war flag as a spear, divine fire as power, combined with peak Overlord power, capable of opening heaven, capable of splitting earth.
The sky roars, the sound of cracking echoes!
Heaven, splits.
A giant gap, rumbling, shatters on the sky!
Revealing the starry sky outside, and also revealing a beam of light formed by silver light!
This beam of light is huge, the place it covers is exactly the sky above the Human Imperial Capital Domain, one end here, the other end... spreading in the starry sky!
In that invisible starry sky, it connects to a silver-colored sacred star.
That star, its size is naturally not as good as Wanggu, but it is vast enough; looking closely, it is shockingly extremely similar to the Ancient Emperor Star!
It is exactly, opened up by the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou back then!
Xuanyou Holy Land!
As for this giant silver beam of light, it is like a passage.
And at this moment, the passage is revealed.
The Empress is outside the passage, her eyes revealing determination, her voice echoing!
"Wanggu Human Race, Present Human Emperor!"
"Today, with the forty-nine Imperial Jade Seals formed by the nourishment of the human race's destiny, as offerings, sacrificed to the Xuanyou Holy Land!"
As she speaks, the Empress raises her hand and waves; immediately, jade seals shining with crystal light fly rapidly into the sky from the human race's destiny on the Ancient Emperor Star.
These jade seals, each gives people a sense of supreme treasure, containing rich human destiny, containing sufficient human will, and because the human race has shown a trend of rising in these years, the crystal feeling is even better than in the past!
Within them, they even emit a sense of faith!
At this moment, all rising into the sky, personally sent by the Human Emperor, offered to the Holy Land!
Soon, in the eyes of the human masses on the earth, in the bowing of the Human Emperor, these forty-nine human Imperial Jade Seals fly out of the gap, flying into the silver light passage!
Following the passage, heading upward!
This is the complete heaven sacrifice ritual!
Every heaven sacrifice requires offerings to the Holy Land, but in the past, although the offerings were also Imperial Jade Seals formed by destiny, the quantity was not large, and it was not like this tearing of the sky!
But it was completed by some ancient method passed down from the Holy Land!
"Only this time, it is different!"
And what is even more different is that the forty-nine Imperial Jade Seals speeding toward the Holy Land within the silver light beam, under the shining silver light, actually appear to have rejection!
There are even fluctuations sweeping rapidly within the silver light, as if investigating, and the moment they touch those forty-nine Imperial Jade Seals, these forty-nine Imperial Jade Seals shake together!
The next instant, a scene that makes all human cultivators horrified
appears!
As offerings, the forty-nine Imperial Jade Seals speeding within the silver light beam, after trembling, have their outer shells shatter one after another, revealing the objects hidden within!
Those are forty-nine existences like suns!
Those are forty-nine clusters of hellish hot flames!
Those are forty-nine Dawn Suns.
"Please Holy Land, enjoy!"
"Fú Wéi Shàng Xiǎng."
The Empress raises her head and speaks indifferently! ===== CHAPTER 897 =====
Those were forty-nine clusters of hellish, scorching flames!
Those were forty-nine Suns of Dawn.
"May the Holy Land rest in peace!
"
"Respectfully offered.
"
The Empress raised her head and spoke faintly!
