Chapter 764: Sacrifice
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Why didn’t this Demon Master find the other Ancient Gods, but just had to come after me? Black Dragon moaned inside his heart.
There were a few Ancient Gods guarding the Heaven Palace, such as ‘Duke Merit’ who was previously calculating battle achievements. When they saw the Demon Master attacking, they all flew upward.
Seems like I can’t stand out later on… But he wants to defeat me with one blow?
Black Dragon roared as the dragon horn on his head shimmered brightly and an eye-piercing, colorful glow emitted from his dragon scales, transforming himself into half-dragon human.
After all, he was also an Ancient God and equal in status with the Demon Master!
“Dragon Fist!”
With the loud and clear voice of Ancient God Black Dragon, an immensely giant Black Dragon illusion appeared behind him and suddenly flew into the sky. The position of its dragon horn was shockingly the center of the punch.
Thump!
The sky shook as the Black Dragon illusion violently clashed with the giant’s fist. The ripples emitted caused the surroundings of the golden jade palace to be instantly reduced to smoke and ashes.
“S-so powerful!”
With the thundering sound, Black Dragon was thrown back like a cannonball, forming a deep crater on the ground as explosive noises rang from his body.
Even though his true physical body was a dragon, he was at a massive disadvantage before this giant’s chaos power. Traces of blood seeped out from many fine dragon scales.
This was dragon blood and smelled similar to a sweet-scented flower.
Especially since he was an Ancient God dragon. If it were anywhere else, any drop of his blood would immediate create a multitude of things and form a kind of dragon spiritual land.
“How dare you!”
After that punch, the giant did not yield an inch as he raised his foot to stomp down.
At this time, the other Ancient Gods in the Heaven Palace roared, “Five Elements Metal Blade… Go!”
Zap! Zap!
Numerous giant metal light blades appeared above the Heaven Palace and shattered the void. In a flash, they arrived in front of the giant and viciously slashed.
Earlier, what the Chaos Giant had destroyed were only the outer restrictions of the Heaven Palace, but the core of this Five Elements Array was the Heaven Palace’s first line of offense!
“This power of the Five Elements… is astonishingly connected with the natural source and is the natural source’s metal!
“No matter how powerful the Immortal Dao is, in reality, it can’t escape the fundamentals of the Five Elements Dao!”
In a split second, a few thoughts flashed through Fang Yuan’s mind. His black armor expanded and actively received the metal blades.
Poof!
The void split like a hot knife through butter. The black armor that was successful blocking earlier and endless in energy instantly dissolved to reveal Fang Yuan’s giant body.
Poof!
The metallic blade landed and cut an extremely large deep wound that exposed bones, causing large amounts of blood to splatter into the sky.
Such formidable might… no wonder Nine Heads had seven of its heads cut off… Every metal blade is equivalent to a Golden Immortal who has obtained metal attribute natural source from the Spiritual Realm or an Ancient God’s full powered strike!
Just in that instant, seven rays of blade brilliance landed on Fang Yuan’s body, and as though they had spirituality, they searched skillfully for any weaknesses to go for the kill.
Poof! Poof!
Blood splattered and the Chaos Giant, who was undefeated while roaming among the demons, immediately became full of injuries.
Sure enough… my Pangu Eagle Body defenses are strong, but they can barely withstand the Heaven Palace’s array attacks…
Fang Yuan took a deep breath as the giant looked at the heavens and roared. Instantly, the property of endless origin power was displayed.
The flesh and blood currently splattered everywhere seemed to be pulled by an invisible force back into his wounds and formed granulation tissue.
In the blink of an eye, the giant who had suffered a huge injury regained his flourishing state and let out an earth-shattering roar. “Must be… destroyed!”
His two hands grabbed out and ignored the metal blades, red fire, poisonous water, giant wood, and heavy rocks that could harm its body, directly grabbing the core restrictions of the Heaven Palace and viciously tearing it apart.
Whoosh!
Even though the giant’s body was full of injuries, what the Heaven Palace had to pay as a consequence was a breach forcefully ripped in its core restrictions and defenses, and the operation of the array became stagnant.
“Haha… Dream Demon, you did well!”
Kaboom!
Below the Heaven Palace, the heavens and the earth suddenly shook as the ground split. A huge snake-head poked out with fire shooting out from its pupils. “Gods!!!”
It opened its mouth as vast quantities of poisonous water charged toward the sky to corrode everything.
Craters and holes appeared all over the surface of the golden jade palace, while those sleeping Gods without any resistance had it worse. While hypnotized, their bodies and divine spirits were corroded by the poisonous liquid, and even their Deity Positions were unable to be maintained under this highly toxic environment.
The Hydra’s poison attribute, though slightly inferior to Erag’s, still found it effortless to defeat ordinary Marquises.
Ping! Ping!
What was more horrifying was that after the actions of this snake-head, more snake-heads burrowed out from under the ground with a bang, spitting out lightning, fire torrents, chilly fog…
At the end, the Hydra’s body finally appeared on the surface and covered the heavens. It was larger than the Heaven Palace, and several heads bit toward the Heaven Palace.
Crack!
The Heaven Palace was tightly bitten, and the Hydra viciously unleashed its might, causing this palace in the heavens to directly descend into the mortal world!
This scene was exactly identical to the scene of demons attacking the Heavenly Court in myths!
In fact, a war with the participation of Ancient Gods and Demon Masters was already a major war at the same level as myths.
“How dare you!” A loud roar resounded as Ancient Gods flew out.
With the Heaven Palace being the front line, seven Ancient Gods were permanently stationed in it. At the moment, two Ancient Gods were leading military divisions on an expedition, and there were still five Ancient Gods inside the Heaven Palace!
The leader was wearing a king’s clothes and a crown, flourishing with purple Qi and displaying a prestigious and magnificent appearance.
When he saw the scene, he was infuriated. With a mere wave of his hand, nine huge purple dragons leapt out and bit, instantly cutting off many of the snake-heads. With a raise of his hand, he had supported the Heaven Palace.
One hand supporting heaven!
The combat strength of this Ancient God was obviously different from Black Dragon. Even the Hydra released a fearful roar. “War King!!!”
Fang Yuan took this opportunity to retreat and inspect this front line Heaven Palace commander.
With the Heaven Palace being the vanguard fighting Demon Masters, there definitely had to be an important character. This War King’s combat might was excellent even among Ancient Gods.
Within the Ancient God ranks, which were Duke and King, Duke East Woods, Black Dragon, and Duke Merit are all Duke positions, while the War King is a King position, already superior to them by one grade!
Even within the Heavenly Court, there were only a few Ancient Gods titled with King.
Furthermore, Fang Yuan stared hard at this War King and instantly discovered a small detail. “Dragon Qi? This person has an impressive and magnificent appearance, while his body is accompanied by Dragon Qi. Seems like he founded a dynasty!”
Such a person was like a dragon rising from the ranks in the lower realm. They were heaven-favored, a favorite of the realm, and accompanied by immense destiny.
When they were ready for their demise, they would enter the Divine Dao to cultivate and would advance at a tremendous pace.
This War King was evidently the founder of some unknown era’s dynasty. Currently, there was even still Dragon Qi following his body. This evidently showed the prosperity of the dynasty back then.
Of course, no matter how prosperous an empire in the mortal world was, the emperor still had to self-proclaim himself as the ‘Son of Heaven’. It also went without saying that it was his responsibility to submit under the command of the Celestial Thearch after passing away.
Not all founders can cultivate to Ancient God. Of course, if this God can reach this extent, this only showcases his horrifying capabilities!
Fang Yuan glanced once again at Black Dragon’s body.
This time, him agreeing to attack the Heaven Palace had entirely arisen from his desire to get revenge.
Ancient God Black Dragon had wanted to kill him. If he still wanted to carry the Lord Mountain River name, he had to shift this mountain away.
Sometimes, being a double agent could still be very beneficial.
” Caw caw … Die die die!”
A storm appeared, and within the darkening sky, the Life-and-Death Storm Crow flew over and its Death head shouted joyfully as death ripples spread to cover the sky.
“Hydra and Life-and-Death Crow… you’re the Demon Masters of the Bottomless Blood Abyss… there’s another now? No wonder you dared to attack the Heaven Palace!” With a solemn face, the War King glanced at Fang Yuan. “And there’s still that poison lady? Come out together!”
“Hehe!” On the ground, large patches of grass appeared and fresh flowers bloomed. Erag’s laugher was heard. “War King… If we unite all of the Demon Masters of the Mental Demon Battlefield, the Heaven Palace would have been stomped into the ground innumerable times already!”
Her voice carried a sweet air. Most importantly, the Ancient Gods hearing her words felt their bodies weakening.
Although one of the Hydra’s snake-heads could also spit out poisonous liquid, it could only at most corrode Marquises and Heaven Immortals. However, the poison attribute of this poison lady could even corrode Golden Immortals and Ancient Gods!
“Hmph!” The War King grunted coldly and once again revealed the purple Dragon Qi. It formed a heavenly backdrop that protected the entire Heaven Palace. “My Heaven Palace is merely a branch of the Heavenly Court. Even if you defeat these seven military divisions, there would immediately be seventy military divisions dispatched. Furthermore, even the Celestial Thearch would attack and sweep the battlefield!”
This threat was not false. If the Heaven Palace suffered too much damage, even without the Celestial Thearch interfering, if there were a few Kings who came, there would instantly be a major upheaval to the situation on the Mental Demon Battlefield.
“Unfortunately… you won’t have the opportunity to witness this!” Erag did not stop smiling as the chilly glow in her eyes became fiercer. “Attack!”
Whoosh!
Numerous vines broke out from the ground, and instantly, large buds were formed. They slowly bloomed and the poisonous pollen quickly spread across the entire area.
“Gods… Die!” the Hydra and Life-and-Death Crow roared as they unhesitatingly attacked.
Fang Yuan punched with unparalleled power but also contained slight hesitation. I agreed to this attack so that I could take revenge. However, the actions of these three Demon Masters are indeed a little strange!
Even if they annihilated the Heaven Palace, it was not that beneficial to them, possibly even attracting a greater catastrophe.
If the Celestial Thearch angrily interfered, there was nowhere safe within the Bottomless Blood Abyss.
Although Demon Masters were mostly chaotic, such an obviously thankless task was still a little suspicious.
Dream Demon… you don’t need to worry! He had created an effect while feigning hesitation, and Erag’s voice appeared by his ear. The Celestial Thearch needs to suppress the array and won’t attack that easily… Furthermore, we also have a trump card! Your mission this time is to capture as many Ancient Gods as you can! If you’re really unable to, a dead one will do as well! We need to use them as sacrifices!
