Chapter 751: Blood Sacrifice Sinks into the Pool, Fierce God of Black Water

~17 min read 3,243 words

Everyone agreed that a Yang Spirit old dragon from the Dragon Race and a Core Formation true disciple from Jade Jing Shan would enter the bluestone cave together.

Although everyone felt that there must be many good things on the sacrificial altar by the water pool, this was only the first cave, and it was not yet worth the Nascent Soul True Immortals fighting over it.

Several stone statues at the entrance of the cave were either half-buried in the ground or leaning obliquely against the bluestone wall, having been displayed quietly like this for tens of thousands of years.

The old dragon of the Dragon Race held a glazed palace lamp in his hand. The lamp contained green ointment, and the burning flame was extremely agile, possessing a mysterious spiritual rhyme.

Under the illumination of the lamp, the darkness retreated rapidly. Where the lamp light covered, there was not the slightest shadow, reflecting on those stone statues.

A layer of golden light overflowed from the surface of the mottled stone statues. The pearl in the hand of one stone statue shone brightly, like flowing flames, emitting light no less than the palace lamp in the old dragon's hand.

The old dragon hurriedly looked back and saw that the stone statue holding the pearl suddenly became vivid. The rough face of the stone quality faded its mottling in the bright, sunset-like light, and the gorgeous colors plated onto it appeared somewhat viscous.

The glazed palace lamp illuminated those stone statues, and their simplicity and mottling all faded away, revealing the spirituality hidden within.

The magic tools in the hands of the stone statues revived like divine weapons, and their faces became majestic and sacred, as if they were no longer stone statues, but gods...

"I didn't expect that these stone statues have been silent for tens of thousands of years, and there is still a 'god' in them!"

The Nascent Soul Long Wang of the Dragon Race did not find the revival of the stone statues strange. The god in his mouth was not only the god statue worshipped by the ancestors, but also the 'minor god' formed by the wish power and thought power entrusted in the stone. It was also the spirit, reason, holiness, and solemnity that the sacrificers engraved into it when they carved these stone statues.

That is why the divinity could remain until now after tens of thousands of years!

The mud statues and wooden sculptures in the temples of the Central Lands today certainly contain not shallow wish power, but if they fall silent and have no incense offerings, at most their spirituality will dissipate in a few thousand years.

How could they be like the stone statues in this stone cave, preserving their divinity until now!

"The sacrificer who carved these stone statues has extraordinary magic power. I fear there is no lack of people of our generation!"

Dan Chenzi also sighed slightly. Divine path sacrifice does not prove the Nascent Soul, only seeking to be one with the god, sensing the god from the outside. Proving the Nascent Soul is easier than the Immortal Path.

But to have such a realm is also extremely extraordinary!

"These stone statues contain divinity, which is an excellent object for the likes of demon spirits and monsters to entrust. If used to refine puppets, it is also wonderful! Unfortunately, it cannot be moved lightly..."

Xu Fu, wearing a golden mask, didn't know where he had drilled out from, looking very regretful.

The shell he occupied now had empty arms, but I don't know if his two arms were cut off by Er Lai, or if he sacrificed his limbs to escape.

Qian Chen naturally knew about the bone bridge he had arranged himself. The twelve bronze statues were a single entity, existences from the Nine Nethers of the Yin River. Even if one could board the bone bridge, the more bronze gods one passed, the greater the pressure and rejection one would bear.

Even existences like Er Lai, I fear, could not reach the sixth group of statues!

Therefore, he had long known that Xu Fu would sooner or later get rid of Er Lai and catch up.

But he didn't expect it to be so early, which made Qian Chen pay great attention. Clearly, Xu Fu had a backup plan.

These stone statues contained divinity, and since they were carved, they had stood here, having long ago merged with this Xuan Snake Cave. If moved lightly, I fear it would directly shake the mysterious ancient cave itself.

Qian Chen, who knew the ins and outs, knew this truth, and the other Nascent Soul True Immortals also knew it clearly.

Compared to the stone statues, Qian Chen was more concerned about the glazed palace lamp in the hand of the Yang Spirit old dragon.

He muttered in a low voice: "Mermaid oil..."

Dan Chenzi beside him also sighed: "Yes! Not only mermaid oil, but also ointment refined from the royal family of mermaids with extremely noble bloodlines and extraordinary cultivation!"

"This object has a very heavy vitality and is very sensitive to spiritual energy. Even the slightest change in the most minute primordial energy will cause the candle flame to flicker."

"Even the divinity of the stone statues, which is so obscure, was illuminated by the lamp light, which shows its extraordinariness!"

"Years ago, Sima Yan issued a reward for hunting mermaids in the Donghai Commandery, but he only hunted ordinary mermaids to take oil. I fear only the masters of the four seas like the Dragon Race could use the royal family of mermaids to refine oil!"

Xie Xuan sighed when he heard this: "Refining oil with people, the Dragon Race's act is I fear also a great sin, and there should be retribution!"

Dan Chenzi was even more regretful: "The royal family of mermaids has extraordinary bloodlines, and eating them leads to longevity. If the ointment in this lamp were handed to me, I fear it could be refined into a furnace of longevity pills..."

The two of them couldn't talk about the same thing at all.

Everyone watched the one person and one dragon continue to move forward. The one foot covered by the mermaid lamp illuminated most of the surrounding stone walls. At this moment, the various spiritual responses that were originally obscure were all revealed under the light of the burning mermaid oil!

On the stone walls on both sides, some Witch texts chiseled by people flowed with spiritual light, emitting light wave after wave, illuminating the darkness until it dissipated like smoke!

"There are often groups of white horses walking under the mountain, and when they cry sadly, the river breaks, and when they gallop, the mountain collapses."

The obscure and difficult-to-understand Witch texts were strange and powerful, as if they were inscribed with a completely unfamiliar law...

"The fish scales are gathered to distinguish themselves, and the flood dragons hide their patterns."

These Witch patterns shocked the old dragon so much that the hand holding the lamp was trembling slightly. Facing the Witch patterns that began to revive on the stone walls on both sides, its pressure was also not small, and it had to speed up its pace toward the sacrificial altar. And the true disciple of Jade Jing Shan was even more unbearable, almost running in a panic.

It wasn't until they went deep into the cave that they discovered the source of the boundless darkness.

The darkness that contended with the Witch texts carved on the stone walls seemed to originate from the deep pool in front of them. The deep pool was as pitch-black as ink, bottomless, and gloomy, as if evil energy was condensed within it.

"This is true water formed by the fusion of Xuan Ming true evil!"

Playing with water is the Dragon Race's specialty. Even so, the old dragon's gaze staring at this pool of water was extremely solemn.

The energy of Gang and Sha is the most violent primordial energy in the world today. Even the weakest evil energy is incomparably violent compared to the spiritual energy swallowed by people.

In some places where evil energy is thick and Gang energy overflows, it is even difficult to enter the path of cultivation.

The evil energy contained in this pool of true water, if splashed out, would be enough to turn a commandery of the Central Lands into a land of poverty and evil. Xuan Ming evil is extremely cold and poisonous. Even among the true dragons, few dare to sink into it.

The old dragon only looked at the deep pool twice, then turned its gaze to the sacrificial altar by the side of the water pool.

On the sacrificial altar, more than a dozen bronze objects were ancient and mottled, silent for a long time, looking like ordinary objects, without half a spiritual response.

The old dragon, according to Elder Gu's words, respectfully placed the mermaid lamp on the sacrificial altar.

The faint lamp light was worshipped on the altar. At this time, a trace of abnormality appeared...

The bronze objects with severe corrosion, under the green copper rust that was like powder, seemed to have threads of divine light flowing. The bronze beast face pattern of a You Zun vessel gradually faded its copper rust, becoming emerald green like jade, but also flowing with the golden light of copper.

The button on the square pillar with a sharp top was like a vortex, sucking the light emitted by the mermaid lamp into it. The patterns on the dragon-head and dragon-body beam gradually came to life.

Dragon patterns intertwined, with cloud-thunder patterns and geometric patterns as the ground, and snake patterns and frog patterns supplemented by stealing-curve patterns, which were mysterious.

These objects originated from the ancient Witch Dao, and the patterns were like the seals of today, which were the embodiment of Witch patterns on the objects, possessing mysterious power.

As the cloud-thunder patterns rolled, a rolling sound, like thunder, came from the belly of the You Zun vessel...

Accompanied by a thunderous sound, electric light flowed into the dragon-patterned beam, and a dragon pattern flowed down, and more than a dozen bronze ritual vessels on the sacrificial altar bloomed with divine brilliance.

But no one noticed that among the more than a dozen ritual vessels flowing with divine brilliance, there was a bronze divine face halberd that was not eye-catching, but rather appeared somewhat barbaric and not solemn enough because of the ferocious bronze human face on the axe handle!

At this time, everyone outside the cave looked at the sacrificial altar, and seeing this scene of more than a dozen ritual vessels flowing with light and color, they couldn't help but exclaim: "The Dragon Race has bet right!"

"The ritual vessels on that sacrificial altar are indeed extraordinary. In my opinion, there are several pieces that are embryos refined into magic treasures..."

Below the Nascent Soul True Immortals, those who were only Core Formation, or had achieved Yin Spirit or Nascent Soul, were dumbfounded. Several reincarnators were even more restless in their hearts—in Gui Xu, there were indeed infinite treasures.

If we talk about the previous stone tablets of the orthodoxy, the bronze gods on both sides of the bone bridge, although they were all heavy treasures, they were also too heavy!

Not many people could lift them...

Now in this cave, any treasure revealed on the sacrificial altar had the posture of a magic treasure, which was shocking!

How precious is a magic treasure? When Qian Chen set up his first layout years ago, in the Earth Aperture Thunder Sea, the Guangling Tao family, a dignified commandery aristocratic family, their town-clan treasure was only a magic treasure.

If we speak seriously, magic treasures are the normal magic tools for the level of Nascent Soul True Immortals in the myriad realms of the cosmos.

On the contrary, it is somewhat abnormal that in the Earth Immortal Realm, every Nascent Soul True Immortal can pull out a spiritual treasure.

For a time, many people looked greedily at the more than a dozen objects on the sacrificial altar...

But due to the agreement of the Nascent Soul True Immortals, no one dared to act.

The Yang Spirit old dragon of the Dragon Race stepped forward to kowtow, respectfully took the bronze divine face halberd in his hand, and then stood to one side and said to the Jade Jing Shan true disciple behind him: "According to the agreement between our two families, we each take one piece, please!"

The Jade Jing Shan disciple swallowed a mouthful of saliva, staring fixedly at the most extraordinary bronze You Zun vessel among the remaining objects.

He stepped forward, imitating the old dragon's appearance, kowtowing three times and bowing nine times. The old dragon held the bronze divine face halberd and smiled, watching quietly from the side. It wasn't until he finished kowtowing and wanted to get up that he suddenly swung the halberd.

In just a flash, he cut off the head of the Jade Jing Shan true disciple!

The Jade Jing Shan true disciple, who was about to get up, only felt his head suddenly lighten, and then his vision kept rising. It wasn't until his vision turned a circle that he saw a headless body spraying blood fall down with a bang.

"This is, my body!"

Only this last thought remained.

The Jade Jing Shan true disciple suddenly discovered that the bronze human face on the bronze halberd stained with his own blood was getting bigger and bigger.

Until it filled his entire field of vision, turning into a giant mouth with sharp teeth like a heavenly gate, and a fierce god with a bull's head and human body, ferocious and terrifying, swallowed him.

At this moment, his soul was completely swallowed by the bronze divine face halberd. The bronze divine face stained red with blood emitted a trace of substantial divine power. The blood seeped into the bronze divine face, and the eyes on the human face relief were stained with blood color.

In this plain-looking bronze halberd, it seemed that some terrifying existence was reviving, making the old dragon terrified, and even unable to hold the bronze halberd tightly.

But the next thing did not allow him to hesitate.

The old dragon stepped forward quickly, swung the bronze halberd in his hand lightly, and slashed at the You Zun vessel in front of him. The lid of the vessel, centered on the button, had a hollow door edge on each of the four sides, with two snakes curling toward each other, supplemented by lizard, frog, turtle, snake, and bird patterns.

At this time, these patterns were awed by the bronze halberd, twisted and turned away, and the lid of the You Zun vessel opened suddenly, revealing a pool of wine liquid as pitch-black as oil inside.

Once the Chang sacrificial wine sealed in the You Zun vessel was opened, accompanied by the overflow of wine fragrance, a kind of nourishment that seemed to be above the soul made the old dragon almost moan.

But he remembered Elder Gu's instructions, quickly poured some Chang sacrificial wine into his palm, and smeared it toward the headless corpse beside him.

The old dragon quickly took off the clothes of the innocently dead Jade Jing Shan disciple, and like smearing oil on meat, smeared the sacrificial wine all over his body!

The corpse, which had gradually stiffened and turned deathly white with the loss of blood, actually regained its vitality with the smearing of the sacrificial wine, and was even more fresh than when he was alive.

The old dragon, who already had divinity, faced this blood food that emitted strange fragrance and had purer blood energy. In the dragon mouth that had been fasting for thousands of years, thick dragon saliva actually secreted.

At this moment, he knew what kind of top-grade blood food this Chang sacrificial wine was when smeared on human sacrifices.

A corpse that was only Core Formation felt more delicious to it than a Yang Spirit True Person...

The old dragon endured the temptation and threw this corpse into the water pool beside it. The extremely thick black water in the water pool actually surged out like a tide, and the rolling dark tide supported the corpse.

The headless corpse sank into the altar inch by inch, as if swallowed by an indescribable existence.

At this moment, the old dragon also seemed to be stared at by an extremely terrifying existence. That feeling was like cold scales sliding across his neck and throat inch by inch, making him unable to move.

If it weren't for the trace of divine power emitted by the bronze divine face halberd in his hand, he would almost have stiffened on the spot...

Elder Gu watched him motionless, not following his instructions to take the You Zun sacrificial wine and quickly retreat with the help of the bronze divine face halberd.

He secretly said: "Not good!"

Yu Changsheng beside him suddenly spoke, coldly: "Ao Gu, Ao Gu, I formed an alliance with you and entrusted my disciples to you. Is this how you treat me? Brazenly attacking, betraying the previous alliance, what do you intend?"

The Nascent Soul Long Long Wang Ao Gu looked back suddenly, with hidden anger in his eyes. When they were discussing earlier, although they didn't say directly that they wanted the disciple's life, they had vaguely agreed.

Now that he was making trouble, it was just that Yu Changsheng saw something wrong, realized that some things were beyond the Dragon Race's grasp, and took the opportunity to make trouble, striving for greater benefits, and even wanting to replace them and swallow the objects alone.

In this way, it was truly shameless to the extreme...

The black water surging in the pool was like a thin film being supported by the thing below. Wrapped in the black water, two giant bright lamps flashing with dark green light were revealed. But these two bright lamps appeared emerald green, dark, and strange, not ordinary round shapes, but long and thin shapes from top to bottom, especially in the middle, where there were two thin blood-red slits, revealing a cold fierce intent!

At this moment, the old dragon was finally shrouded by that monstrous fierce evil, his whole body stiffened, and he could no longer move.

He recognized the two beams of light that were like emerald fire bright lamps...

"Snake... Snake pupil!"

"No... Impossible, what kind of fierce snake can make my true dragon tremble?"

Outside the cave, the Long Long Wang Ao Gu and Elder Gu also saw clearly what had floated up in the water pool.

That was an incomparably huge black giant snake. Its lower body was submerged in the water pool, and its upper body and snake head standing in mid-air were already dozens of feet high from the ground!

The snake eyes emitting dark green light were looking down from above at this old dragon that was like an ant to it.

The true body of this snake was not inferior to the Dragon Race, from head to tail, about hundreds of feet long.

Under the gaze of the emerald green snake eyes, it made people feel cold all over, as if their soul was about to be sucked away by the darkness! ===== CHAPTER 752 =====
