King of Creation Chapter 2023 - 2008: Blood Sacrifice (Qixi—Wishes Come True)
Previously on King of Creation...
On a stone platform spanning ten miles, a grand yet somewhat sinister altar was undergoing its final touches.
Fresh, steaming human blood was being smeared in strange and eerie patterns by several white-haired three-eyed demons.
At the center, on a gigantic beast skull that appeared extremely ferocious, a blood flag weaker in aura by countless times compared to Ye Zhen’s War Soul Blood Flag was placed in the middle of the giant beast skull.
Numerous blood-red lines extended from the enormous beast skull in all directions.
Once the leading white-haired three-eyed demon finished sketching the last stroke of the pattern with fresh blood, he quietly flew to the altar, paid his respects to the Grand Elder Jii Wusheng, and silently left.
Gazing at the completed altar, Jii Wusheng cast another glance at the exceedingly calm Seventh Prince Congyun standing not far away, then recalled the message within the Jade Scroll.
He knew that he had very limited options left.
"This time, Crown Prince Congyun will also enter with you all; the rules are the same as before. The legacy of the Ancient Demon God can be contended for by anyone!
However, with Crown Prince Congyun accompanying you, he is one of your own. If external enemies appear, stand united! Furthermore, if Crown Prince Congyun seizes the legacy of the Ancient Demon God, you must protect the Seventh Prince at all costs, do you understand?" Jii Wusheng instructed.
"We respectfully accept the Grand Elder’s decree!" shouted Jii Hua and his cohort loudly, while turning to salute the Seventh Prince Congyun.
Without even glancing at Jii Hua and his cohort, the Seventh Prince Congyun moved, his figure flying straight to the altar’s center without turning back.
This scene caused slight embarrassment among the elite of the Three-eyed Demon Clan.
Grand Elder Jii Wusheng’s expression remained unchanged, as he gently waved his hand, "Ascend the altar, the Blood Sacrifice begins!"
The One-eyed Demon Emperor Lineage is naturally proud, showing limited respect even to stronger figures like Jii Wusheng, and utter disdain towards the weak.
This is understandable; the One-eyed Demon Emperor Lineage is innately powerful, crushing contemporaries easily, not to mention the Seventh Prince among them.
As Jii Hua and twelve other elite of the Three-eyed Demon Clan stepped onto the Blood Sacrifice Altar, countless bound slaves were escorted from all directions by the Three-eyed Demon Clan’s army, with males and females, young and old.
Except for the young children who were wailing, the adults and elders remained expressionless, with eyes devoid of life.
Only the mothers looked tenderly at their crying children, tears streaming down.
Among them, they had understood their fate of Blood Sacrifice.
But what could they do knowing this?
Many had experienced such scenes countless times, with no other fate but being sacrifices.
As slaves, their status among the Three-eyed Demon Clan was even lower than the Six-Legged Spider Demons pulling carts.
"Prepare!"
With a soft command, an intense Blood Light shot out simultaneously from the third vertical eye of the Three-eyed Demon Clan armies surrounding the altar.
Each Blood Light targeted a slave.
Even those of low cultivation, like Divine Communication Realm three-eyed demons, could simultaneously lock onto hundreds of Human Clan slaves with the Blood Light from their vertical eyes.
"Sacrifice!"
With the utterance of ’Sacrifice,’ countless Blood Lights transformed into blades, sending the heads of the Human Clan slaves soaring skyward. Suspended in the air, a Three-eyed Demon Clan Demon Lord muttered ancient and incomprehensible incantations, seeming crazed in his dance.
Yet, those seemingly frenzied movements somehow drew blood from countless headless bodies skyward, eventually merging into river-like flows converging onto the altar.
The Divine Souls within each soaring head were drawn towards the altar by those frenzied gestures, causing countless tormented souls to let out tragic wails.
Repeating the Blood Light surge three times with their vertical eyes, the nearly ten thousand strong Three-eyed Demon Clan army slaughtered all one hundred and eight thousand Human Clan slaves.
Under the ancient priest’s presiding, the slaves’ bodies all turned into dry husks within mere breaths.
Numerous blood-red lines, like writhing worms, transmitted the luminous blood light through the central beast skull of the altar into the blood flag.
The blood flag’s aura began to grow rapidly.
However, the Blood Sacrifice had only just begun, as over one hundred thousand howling Demon Beasts were soon cast into the altar, then slaughtered by the Blood Light from the vertical eyes of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, swiftly turning into dry husks.
Seeing the aura of the Inherited Blood Banner grow robust rapidly, Grand Elder Jii Wusheng squinted his eyes.
This Inherited Blood Banner is an unrooted treasure, yet it is mystically connected to the Ancient Demon God with a solid imprint.
After gaining immense power through the Blood Sacrifice, this blood flag could transport the elite of the Three-eyed Demon Clan directly into the Little World where the Ancient Demon God’s legacy resides, facilitating the contest for the legacy.
Strictly speaking, Ye Zhen’s War Soul Blood Flag is also an Inherited Blood Banner.
However, Ye Zhen’s acquisition of that Inherited Blood Banner led to him ending up in a Demon Clan Fortress. By chance, the Inherited Blood Banner in Ye Zhen’s possession obtained a unique opportunity.
Thus arose Ye Zhen’s War Soul Blood Flag.
Nonetheless, while the quality of the War Soul Blood Flag changed, the essence did not.
Therefore, Ye Zhen’s Three-eyed Demon Clan Bloodline and War Soul Blood Flag opened the White Bone Gate, simultaneously activating the Inherited Blood Flags scattered in other directions.
As over ten thousand Demon Beast corpses were ground into powder, the gathered Blood Light around the Inherited Blood Banner began to fluctuate like an ocean.
The old priest of the Three-eyed Demon Clan pointed skyward, transforming countless Mysterious Seal Formulas between his fingers instantaneously.
"Go!"
With a soft command, the Inherited Blood Banner, seemingly a sea of blood, enveloped the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun and twelve elite of the Three-eyed Demon Clan.
In an instant, it transformed into a Blood Light, breaking through the void.
The stone altar instantly collapsed!
"An Ancient Demon God’s legacy indeed brings great fortune and convenience to the one who seizes it. It all depends on whether the Seventh Prince has that destiny..."
Amidst the murmuring of the Three-eyed Demon Clan Grand Elder Jii Wusheng, similar blood-red altars across the Demon Clan Territory were conducting Blood Sacrifices, continuously sending Inherited Blood Banners along with elite of various clans breaking through the void to contest for the legacy of the Ancient Demon God.
Simultaneously, as Ye Zhen and his Mystical Mechanism Avatar’s Primordial Spirit shook in the world entered through the White Bone Gate, they felt the anomaly of the War Soul Blood Flag.
At that moment, it seemed many auras similar to the War Soul Blood Flag were rapidly approaching!
