Chapter 452: Chapter 438: Evil Beast Sacrifice!_1

Boom!

When Xiao Chen set foot on the top of the Altar of Heaven, in the place where the dense purple haze had once hung, the illusions of the ancient giant dragon and other mythical beasts, began to retreat as though swept away by a tide, as if they had never appeared at all.

At this moment, he could feel his divine sense becoming inexplicably lucid. The entire Altar of Heaven seemed to connect with his body in an instant. His mind and will started to strangely roam within the void, covering thousands of miles on the earth.

It was as if he alone reigned supreme over this vast wilderness and the mountains within.

"This is the territory of my Gu Yuan Tribe, this is my dominion, Xiao Chen’s territory!"

Unexpectedly, a moment of understanding flashed through Xiao Chen’s mind. What his mind perceived was the control over the vast wilderness territory of the Gu yuan Tribe. In the instance he mustered the courage to ascend the Altar of Heaven and succeeding in winning Heaven and Earth’s support, the power of the entire tribe was concentrated on him.

As he had just ascended the Altar of Heaven, he managed to withstand the trial of the human race’s destiny, proving to the human race that he was capable of shouldering the fortune given by the tribe, gathering the mighty power of the entire tribe.

What he would do next was to sacrifice the tribe, announce the tribes’ fortune to the heavens, so heavenly blessings would retreat and merge with the power of the entire tribe, which would grant the Gu Yuan Tribe a place among the tribes’ destiny.

Next, what the Gu Yuan Tribe had to do was to retain as much fortune as possible given by the human race group within their tribe when the destiny descended. This was the function of the King-Sacrificer Pot.

In vast lands, every creation of a tribe represents the increase in strength of the entire human race. The tribe’s destiny prospers, their fortune will increase, and reciprocally the human destiny will nourish the tribes, allowing the tribes’ fortune to flourish and develop vigorously, thus enhancing the strength of the entire human tribe. The two were mutually complementary.

The moment he stepped onto the altar, it could be said that the tribe had already acknowledged that the Gu Yuan Tribe was qualified to create destiny, ruling tens of thousands of miles in the wilderness!

The light of independent will that continuously flashed over Xiao Chen’s body suddenly retreated like a tide. However, Xiao Chen felt that the supernatural consciousness that towered over heaven and earth had not disappeared, still watching him.

Immediately, Xiao Chen seemed to sense something and raised his eyes to look toward the depths of Void. Lightning and thunder seemed to crash there, within the dense, raging purple haze. Invisible waves of power exploded out incessantly. He could feel that presence which had retreated, was circling around in the void.

The pressure feels vast, magnificent and imposing. All the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe, and even all the beings within the radius of thousands of miles in the Wilderness, were involuntarily suppressed by this pressure. With awe-filled faces, they looked towards where the Altar of Heaven stood.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the column of purple opportunity essence, tens of feet in thickness that had originally hung above the tribe, now appeared above the head of Xiao Chen. It was rich in purple Qi, towering like a column, rising high into the clouds, filled with auspiciousness.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. The explosive aura that had originally erupted from his body instantly converged into nothingness, transforming back into an ordinary person. He stood amidst the endless purple haze, semi-visible and semi-hidden, just like a deity.

He stood at the very center of the top of the Altar of Heaven, behind him was the huge Sacrificial Pot of the King, shining with unending bronze light. He looked down at the tribe people below the altar, signaling to the Grand Elder under the altar.

After getting Xiao Chen’s signal, the Grand Elder bowed to take orders. With a solemn expression, he strides up the altar. Of course, he had no qualifications to reach the top of the altar, so he only came to the fourth level and stopped.

In his solemn and grave black sacrificial robe, he once again bowed to Xiao Chen and, after receiving approval from Xiao Chen, Tie Wen turned to face the people under the altar. He took a deep breath and proclaimed loudly, "The ancestors of our race expelled the hundred clans, and thus obtained the vast wilderness of the human world. Through the cycle of seasons, our ancestors shed their blood, staining the azure skies with distinct stains. Because of them, the bloodline of our race continues throughout the generations. Today, the Gu Yuan Battle Division is willing to inherit the wishes of our ancestors, to adhere to the principles of righteousness and, in doing so, establish a legacy that will last for a millennia. We will protect our people from difficulty and hardships. We hope that the ancestors of the human race will protect us. The Gu Yuan Battle Division will sacrifice offerings year after year, generation after generation."

"Light the incense of blood, and pay homage to the ancients!"

The desolate sound of a bugle resounded incessantly. On the Altar of Heaven, on every level apart from the top tier, there were nine huge copper cauldrons. At this moment, these huge cauldrons were full of a thick, crystal-clear solution, emitting a rich aroma. This was the smell of the blood of hundreds of beasts mixed with numerous spices and medicinal herbs. Stored under the flames for nine days and nights, they finally extracted this fragrant blood just to pay homage to the ancestors.

Boom!

In the next moment, fire suddenly erupted from within the thirty-six huge copper cauldrons, and the rich aroma immediately permeated the entire mountain city. This aroma was warm and in no way pungent, with not a single hint of blood mixed in.

"Reporting to the tribes’ chief, the incense of the blood of the beasts has been lit, the ritual may begin now!"

The incense of blood of the beasts was continuously burning, creating waves of smoke that wafted in the air. When the Grand Elder heard the sound, he fell on the Altar of Heaven. Xiao Chen’s eyes twinkled with a green light. Then, he nodded again, signifying to the Grand Elder to continue hosting the sacrifice.

"Welcome the sacrificial offering. Sacrifice to the tribe!"

Boom!

The ground shook, and from one corner of the Mountain City came the sound of chaotic footsteps. A dozen huge iron cages were dragged by the War Chariots, moving towards the altar.

"What’s that!"

"Take a look! That’s the two-star beast Azure Eye Green Lion. It is said to have the bloodline of the Ancient Desolate Beast Flame Lion King in its body. Such a formidable beast could act as a tribal guardian beast in our tribes, yet now it has been captured to act as a sacrificial offering."

"What’s an Azure Eye Green Lion? Look at the tiger in the larger cage at the back. It has the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Beast White Tiger and is also being used as a sacrifice!"

"There is also that two-star beast, Golden-Hoofed White Elephant, and the two-star beast, Purple-Scaled Gold Crystal Beast, that dragon beast carrying the Ancient Giant Dragon’s bloodline was captured to be a sacrificial offering. That’s such a waste! If these beasts were tamed, each of them has enough strength to match a human Towering Realm Martial Artist. They could have been used to suppress a tribe, but now they’re used as sacrificial offerings!"

"The Gu Yuan Tribe is really extravagant. All the beasts used for the sacrifice are two-star beasts."

As the War Chariot pulled the huge iron cage forward towards the altar, it immediately caused astonishment among the many warriors observing the ceremony. Looking at the beasts in the huge iron cage, their eyes were filled with desire.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

In the huge iron cages, the beasts continuously roared. Mixed with the great roar were sounds of grief and indignation. It seemed they knew the fate that awaited them.
