Chapter 762: The Blood Sacrifice & Guide

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

“The aura of killing, it’s the aura of killing!” As soon as they left the Eastern Thunder Sect, the Ghost Child shrieked in excitement, as if he had found a nice toy. His voice was so harsh that it irritated Zhou Bao’s nerves. “Boy, they have a plot... there’s definitely a plot, a huge plot!”

“What the hell are you talking about? My spiritual mind is not weak. Why didn’t I sense their murderous intent?”

“It’s because you’re a fool, idiot!” The Ghost Child’s shadow suddenly jumped out and stood above his head. “That murderous intent is unrevealed and is still fermenting, so you cannot feel it. It would be strange if you could do that. Haha, I finally remember what it is. It’s the aura of a blood sacrifice, the aura of a blood sacrifice!”

“Blood sacrifice?!” Upon hearing these two words, Zhou Bao felt a chill of fear suddenly rise from his heart.

“What is that?”

“It’s an ancient method of offering sacrifices to gods and demons from primitive times and taking advantage of their power. Haha, this method was prohibited at that time because it is done at the cost of numerous lives. I now finally understand why people in the Eastern Thunder Sect would behave so abnormally by guiding so many practitioners into their sect, and why they have arranged so many things in advance with nothing having gone wrong when so many people swarmed into their sect. It turns out that they want to conduct a blood sacrifice, at the cost of the blood and lives of all the practitioners in the Eastern Thunder World, to summon a real Primordial Demon or an Innate Deity. And by relying on this power, they can eliminate the Devil Tribe. Primordial Demons are the ancestors of the Devil Tribe and are also the creators of the Devil Realm, so a Primordial Demon is sufficient to prevent the invasion of the Devil Tribe. However, Innate Deities are the sworn enemies of the Devil Tribe, and once they appear and face so many low-level Devil Tribesmen, they would surely kill all of them without restraint.”

“Are you sure? Does the Innate Deity or Primordial Demon that they are going to summon really have such mighty power?”

“Of course, the more sacrifices they offer and the more powerful the sacrifices are, the stronger the Primordial Demon or Innate Deity that is summoned will be. This is a principle that has been derived from some of the most basic laws from the Primordial Time, and no one can ever change it!”

“Do you mean that the Eastern Thunder Sect is going to kill all the practitioners here and sacrifice their lives, spirit, and blood to the Primordial Demon or Innate Deity? Look around, how many practitioners are here now, and how many of them will be here in the end?”

“If there are more than 100 million practitioners, they can summon a fully developed Innate Deity or Primordial Demon. Given the current scene, I’m guessing there will soon be more than 100 million practitioners. Right, they are waiting for that opportunity to conduct the blood sacrifice. Hehe, I wonder which they are going to summon, a fully developed Primordial Demon or an Innate Deity?”

“Can an Innate Deity be summoned by using this method?”

“Of course. I told you that the rite of this blood sacrifice is derived from the oldest laws at the Primordial Origin. If you know its key, you can even summon a Primordial Fierce Beast. But unfortunately, Primordial Fierce Beasts are different from gods or demons. They have their unique characteristics. So, there is a different method to conduct a blood sacrifice to summon them!” the Ghost Child said in a regretful tone.

“At present, although there are not 100 million practitioners in this city, there must be over 10 million. At this rate, within 10 days at most, the Eastern Thunder Sect can gather together 100 million practitioners. That’s when it should be the perfect opportunity for them to conduct the rite!”

“Yes, it’s also my opportunity!” The Ghost Child’s eyes shone with excitement. 100 million practitioners! He got excited at the thought of so much murderous intent. Although such an amount of Massacre Qi would not be able to help him return to his heyday, it would be able to restore part of his strength.

“Damn it, they are summoning gods and demons, what the hell are you so excited about?!”

“How stupid you are! Why let them summon gods and demons? The rise and fall of the Eastern Thunder World has nothing to do with you. Of course, we should pocket the Massacre Qi. Idiot, the Eastern Thunder Sect is not a big deal. We just need to kill the sect master and snatch the altar. Then, we’ll have the power of a blood sacrifice of 100 million practitioners. With that, I’ll be able to restore part of my power and you can do as you will in the Void Universe!”

“The blood and spirit of 100 million practitioners can summon a complete god or demon, but it can only restore part of your strength. Does that mean that you’re more powerful than an Innate Deity or a Primordial Demon?” Zhou Bao asked, looking pensive.

“It’s not gonna work that way, idiot!” As if he had seen the hope to restore his strength, the Ghost Child was somewhat incoherent. He got excited as though he had drunk too much. “The summoned god or demon cannot be with them forever. But I’m different. Once my strength recovers, it will belong to me and no one can take it away from me. Of course, if my strength is fully recovered, killing an Innate Deity or a Primordial Demon will not be a problem for me. And that’s one of the reasons why I exist!” Being so excited, he spilled the beans. He wanted to take back what he had just said, but it was too late.

“Oh, the reason that you exist is to kill gods and demons!” Zhou Bao smiled and stopped talking about this topic. It was sufficient to know another’s secret. There was no need to know all the ins and outs of the secret by inquiring further. That would only bring trouble to oneself and make the other person feel repelled.

“However, I think you might be disappointed. Now that I know the plan of the Eastern Thunder Sect, I will never allow it to be carried out!”

“What? Why?!”

“I just feel unhappy about it. The Eastern Thunder Sect wants to sacrifice all the practitioners in the Eastern Thunder World to keep its foundation, and that really pisses me off. I’m angry about it, so I won’t allow them to succeed!”

“What are you talking about? Are you crazy?!” In exasperation, the Ghost Child shouted. He regretted telling Zhou Bao the truth. If he had not been impatient, he would not have loosened his lips and told Zhou Bao about this matter. When the Eastern Thunder Sect launched the blood sacrifice, it would be too late even if Zhou Bao wanted to stop it. He then could devour the killing aura, spirit, flesh, and blood that was prepared for the blood sacrifice in one go by doing some little tricks.

“You’re crazy, I’m not. Killing hundreds of people is acceptable. But this is 100 million people! Are you insane?!” Zhou Bao glanced at the Ghost Child. “You’d better behave well and have a good rest. I don’t care how powerful you will be when you recover, but don’t look forward to seeing your daydream come true. I won’t help you!” After he finished speaking, he forced the Ghost Child back into the red gourd by using his spirit.

Although that gourd was a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, it had been refined by Zhou Bao. Furthermore, as Zhou Bao had grown stronger, he was able to control it with less effort. As its device spirit, the Ghost Child had just recovered. He was surely unable to fight Zhou Bao. Under Zhou Bao’s might, he could only withdraw his head and go into the gourd obediently, without having even the slightest chance to protest.

“Good Lord, 100 million practitioners! I cannot handle this matter rashly. The Eastern Thunder Sect has not shown any evidence of this, so it’s impossible for me to publicize this fact directly. Damn it, if I cannot do it publicly, then I’ll do it in secret. I guess I’d better add fuel to the fire and spread the news secretly. Rumors are the most lethal things in the world. If I take the news as a rumor and spread it, the Eastern Thunder Sect will surely be caught unprepared. Hmm, since your plan is so sinister, I won’t show you bastards any mercy.”

After making up his mind, Zhou Bao acted immediately. Two hours later, a message that the Eastern Thunder Sect was going to sacrifice all the practitioners to summon the gods and demons to fight against the Devil Tribe spread throughout the entire Eastern Thunder Sect like a chilly wind.

In the Human Emperor Palace, Heaven Realm World—

The Heaven Realm World looked completely different from when Zhou Bao left the last time.

Due to the failure of the two macro worlds from the Holy Alliance, the other influences did not dare to act arbitrarily, which would land themselves in trouble. Therefore, on the second day after Zhou Bao’s departure, some macro worlds began to contact the Heaven Realm World secretly. Though the Heaven Realm World had long predicted this situation, it lacked adequate preparations.

For the entire 810,000 years, the Heaven Realm World had separated itself from the Void Universe and wasted time in the Desolate Ancient Star Area. Its sad stories were able to make those who understood feel grieved, and make those who listened shed bitter tears.

During those 810,000 years, it degenerated into a world where the top experts were only Human Immortals from a macro world that ruled over heavens and realms. The difference between then and now was quite big.

Human Immortals!

Moreover, these experts had just recently stepped into the Human Immortal Realm. What did that mean?

In the entire Void Universe, those who had just recently stepped into the Human Immortal Realm were merely practitioners at the Earl Level. Such practitioners were even very weak on a vast planet, not to mention in a macro world.

Fortunately, in the Heaven Realm World, powerful practitioners gathered not only in the Seven-deity Regions, but also in the Sea Area. Although the most powerful demons there were also only Human Immortals, their numbers were huge. Furthermore, the Sea Emperor was there to back them up.

And most important of all, the demons in the Sea Area seemed to be uninterested to contact the other macro worlds in the Void Universe. They handed all those matters over to the Seven-deity Regions. As the Human Emperor, Yan Yuntian became their representative. The Human Emperor Palace handled all the foreign affairs on behalf of the Heaven Realm World, looking quite like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

And it was also fortunate that all the sects in the Heaven Realm World knew the significance of this matter. Therefore, by borrowing people and things from each other, they managed to handle it in the end, although all of this was extremely complicated.

“Guide Master, are you alright?”

A fat figure walked out of the Human Emperor Palace on this night. It was the Child-endowing Buddha from the Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple, the one who had worked in collusion with Zhou Bao. He was in low spirits.

As he heard the man who guarded the Human Emperor Palace call him Guide Master, he looked up suddenly and a pall of sadness appeared on his face. “I have told you many times... my Taoist name is not ‘Guide’. I’m just a monk who guides people here!”

After saying that, he looked much sadder!
