Chapter 727: Bloodline Sacrifice, A Choice of Life and Death

As the preparations proceeded, the expression on Tianjizi's face became increasingly grave.

He carefully inspected the prepared Seal Array, repeatedly double-checking various data.

After a long while, he slowly shook his head, his face filled with worry.

"The situation is more serious than I anticipated," Tianjizi said heavily.

"Having accumulated power for thousands of years, the Master of Nothingness is now far beyond what they were in the ancient era."

Lin Xuan's heart sank: "What does this mean?"

Tianjizi looked at everyone present: "Traditional sealing methods are no longer enough."

"We need more bloodline essence and stronger purifying power."

"We also need at least three Core personnel to perform a bloodline sacrifice, using their own life force as the price to drive the Seal."

This news struck everyone like a bolt from the blue.

Bloodline sacrifice is the most dangerous forbidden art in the Immortal Realm.

The sacrificer will lose most of their cultivation and may even die on the spot.

Even if they survive by luck, they will become a cripple, forever unable to cultivate.

Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere in the stone chamber became extremely heavy.

Everyone understood what this meant, but no one chose to retreat.

Movingly, almost everyone took the initiative to request to shoulder this responsibility.

The Vast Sea True Dragon was the first to step forward: "I am the oldest; having lived for three thousand years, I have had my fill."

"It doesn't matter if I lose my cultivation; let me take on the sacrifice."

Bai Suxue also said firmly: "Our Nine-Tailed Fox clan bears responsibility for this crisis."

"If we had discovered the truth sooner, perhaps it would not have developed to this point."

"I should be the one to bear the cost of the sacrifice."

The Golden-Haired Roar roared: "Although this king is crude, I am not one to fear death."

"If a sacrifice is needed, count me in!"

Silver Wing spread their injured wings: "The Hawk Demon clan never fears death."

"I am willing to sacrifice for the survival of the Immortal Realm."

Even the heavily injured Nezha and Zhang Wuji expressed their willingness to sacrifice.

"Although our cultivation is not high, our bloodlines are quite pure," Nezha said, gritting their teeth.

"If we can help, we will never retreat."

Zhang Wuji also gripped their Long Sword: "To die for the sake of saving the world is a death well-earned."

Seeing this scene, a great sense of being moved welled up in Lin Xuan's heart.

These people knew that sacrifice meant death, yet they still stepped forward without hesitation.

This is the backbone of the Immortal Realm; this is the character worth protecting.

But Lin Xuan firmly opposed letting his companions take this risk.

"If a bloodline sacrifice is truly needed, then let me do it," he said firmly.

"I possess the Taiji Creation bloodline; I should be the most suitable sacrificer."

This statement drew strong opposition from everyone.

Although Bai Suxin was weak, she still gripped his hand tightly.

"No! You are the only one who can control the Heart of Purification," she said urgently.

"If something happens to you, the Seal will fail completely!"

"Everyone's sacrifice will be in vain!"

Nezha and Zhang Wuji also opposed at the same time: "Lin Xuan, you cannot do this!"

"We are all counting on you to save the world!"

Tianjizi also nodded in agreement: "Suxin is right; your role is irreplaceable."

"The Heart of Purification only recognizes you; this Seal must be led by you."

"If you perform the bloodline sacrifice, who will control the Heart of Purification?"

Lin Xuan's heart was full of conflict; he did not want to see anyone sacrifice themselves for him.

But his reason also told him they were right.

The Heart of Purification only resonated with his bloodline; if he sacrificed himself, the Seal truly could not be completed.

After intense discussion, the candidates for the sacrifice were finally determined.

The Vast Sea True Dragon, Bai Suxue, and Tianjizi would perform the bloodline sacrifice.

"I am an ancient great power myself, with a deep bloodline," Tianjizi explained.

"Even if I sacrifice my bloodline, I will not die immediately and can still hold on for a period to complete the Seal."

The Vast Sea True Dragon nodded in agreement: "I have lived for three thousand years, and my life force is extremely vigorous."

"The sacrifice will not take my life; at most, my cultivation will regress by a few realms."

Although Bai Suxue's face was pale, her gaze was firm: "I possess the purest bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan."

"I am the best sacrificer, and I have already prepared myself mentally."

This decision made everyone feel heavy.

Three powerhouses would pay a huge price to save the world.

But it also made everyone more united; at the moment of life and death, true friendship and trust were best embodied.

Lin Xuan looked at these three heroes about to sacrifice themselves, his heart full of respect and reluctance.

"The kindness of the three seniors, Lin Xuan will never forget for as long as he lives." He bowed deeply.

"If the Seal is successful, I will certainly find a way to help you restore your cultivation."

Tianjizi waved his hand and smiled: "There is no need for that; we are all doing this for a common goal."

"Moreover, being able to participate in the operation to save the cultivation world is in itself a great honor."

Just as they were preparing to begin the sacrificial ritual, more urgent news came from outside.

A cultivator responsible for guarding ran hurriedly into the stone chamber.

"Report! The spatial rift has suddenly doubled in size!" he said, panting heavily.

"The leakage rate of the Void Power is increasing sharply!"

"The outer defensive barrier is about to collapse!"

This news made everyone's heart leap into their throat.

Time was even more pressing than expected; the Void Lord could fully awaken at any moment.

Tianjizi immediately made a decision: "We cannot wait any longer!"

"Begin the sacrificial ritual immediately!"

"Everyone take your positions, prepare to activate the Seal!"

Canghai Zhenlong, Bai Suxue, and Tianjizi walked toward the Core position of the Array.

There were three special Array Eyes there, designed specifically for the bloodline sacrifice.

Lin Xuan gripped the Heart of Purification tightly, feeling the powerful energy contained within it.

He knew that the coming battle would determine the fate of the entire cultivation world.

Success would bring joy to all, while failure would lead to eternal damnation.

No one knew what the outcome would be, but everyone was already prepared to give everything.

"Begin," Tianjizi said in a deep voice.

"For the future of the cultivation world, for countless innocent lives."

"We must not fail!"

The three of them simultaneously pressed their palms onto the Array Eyes and began to burn their own bloodline essence.

In an instant, the stone chamber was filled with brilliant light.

Blood-red, golden, and silver lights intertwined, forming a magnificent pillar of light.

The final stage of recasting the Seal had begun.

And in the depths of Wanyao Island, the Void Lord also felt the threat.

"Foolish ants, do you think you can stop me like this?"

The evil voice echoed underground, carrying endless malice and killing intent.

"I will let you see what true despair is!"
