Chapter 852: Chapter 837: Azure Blood Sacrifice, Arrival of the King of Humans! Additional Update 7

[Two more updates followed at 8 p.m. Chief asks for votes!] As the master of the Border Wasteland Ancestral Court, the Ziyang God Marquis can be said to be the most powerful person in the entire Border Wasteland. Moreover, as an elder of the Eastern Wasteland’s East Emperor Palace in the Human Realm, his status goes without saying; even the Clan Leader of the Legendary Marquis Department would not be considered by him.

However, today was different. At this moment, gathered before the Bronze Ancient City were dense masses of Border Wasteland Human Tribe people—so many that the atmosphere felt somewhat heavy.

From the moment the Gu Yuan Tribe entered the Heavenly River Space, all the bloody battles had been under the watchful eyes of countless people of the Border Wasteland. Hundreds of thousands of War Soldiers waged war against the Blood Clan, and a hundred thousand veterans laid down their lives in a single battle to break the offensive might of the Blood Clan.

At last, the War Soldiers of the Gu Yuan Tribe broke into the Blood Clan’s Void Floating Island. In a lethal counterattack, the Blood Clan did not hesitate to self-destruct to perish together with the War Soldiers of the Gu Yuan Clan’s Battle Division. There were countless War Soldiers who fell during the Blood Clan’s retaliation.

After a fierce blood battle, even though the Blood Clan was annihilated, it was a pyrrhic victory for the Gu Yuan Tribe, having lost many warriors—this was a battle for the entire Border Wasteland Human Tribe, a fact clear even to any ordinary warrior.

Now, as the brave warriors returned, they were unable to experience the bloodbath themselves; hence, they came forward to pay their respects and offer sacrifices.

Boom!

The gates of the Bronze Ancient City opened, and a wave of even denser smell of blood rushed towards the people, but this blood scent was mixed with a faint scent of sandalwood.

Under Xiao Chen’s leadership, all the venerables and the Great Elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe stepped out from within the ancient city, their stride carrying a rich sense of slaughter—this was the daemon aura they had not yet dispersed after the bloody battles.

Following Xiao Chen were several hall masters, the Grand Elder Tie Shi, the Second Elder Lin Shan, and the Third Elder Xiao Tan. Among them, the Second Elder Lin Shan, who had advanced to the realm of venerable using the essence condensed from the bones of the Blood Clan, and the Grand Elder was in the fourth layer of the Towering Realm, while the Third Elder was only in the third layer of the Towering Realm.

During this blood battle, apart from the Second Elder Lin Shan who participated in the fight, the Grand Elder and the Third Elder did not personally join the blood battle. However, the contributions of these two Elders could not be erased.

They supported the tribe’s operations during the blood battle, and the allocation of various strategic materials, which could not afford a single mistake.

Following the three Elders were three hall masters of the War Master Hall. Ding Shan, who had now attained the venerable status, and the two deputy hall masters, Xiao Bangtu and Mu Wu Ya—one had his left shoulder cut off, and the other still had a pale face, clearly showing that the injuries had not yet healed, and the two had not managed to advance to the realm of venerables using the essence of the sea of blood.

Performing Martial Arts Hall Tie Wen, Guardian Hall Huang Liang, Hundred Grass Nianhua, and Mu Qing, Divine Weapon Xiao Lin—while the deputy hall master of the Divine Weapon Hall, Xi Ming, had died during the blood battle.

Following them were a host of venerables from the Gu Yuan Tribe: Xue Sha, Shi Ya, the Qiu family five brothers, Fengyu, Luo Yun Mountain, Wan Tianxing, Lin Yue, etc. At the moment, these warriors had more or less some injuries yet to heal, and similarly, there were fluctuations in their aura.

Even though they were wounded, to the many warriors, they felt an intense wave of murderous aura coming towards them.

"Battling in blood for over ten days, a million tribes chilled to the bone, finally annihilating the rampant Blood Clan and winning a battle of fate for our Border Wasteland, the Gu Yuan Tribe did not fail the heavy trust of the Border Wasteland, nor disgrace the honor of the Human Tribe!"

Arriving in front of Ziyang God Marquis and other powerhouses of the Ancestral Court, Xiao Chen clasped his fists and declared sonorously.

"Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe has annihilated the Blood Clan and returns victorious, I report to the Lord of the Border Wasteland Human Tribe Ancestral Court!"

"Gu Yuan Tribe returns victorious and reports to the Border Wasteland Human Tribe Ancestral Court!"

Immediately following, numerous elders and venerables behind Xiao Chen roared in unison, creating an indescribable atmosphere.

Accompanying this roar, the warriors around were all visibly shaken.

Looking at the many warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe before him, Ziyang God Marquis seemed at a loss for words for a moment, then heavily nodded his head, and at that moment, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

"The Gu Yuan Tribe fought bloody battles for our Border Wasteland; I, leading the Ancestral Court’s people, have come to worship the Human Tribe’s fallen brave warriors."

After several moments of silence, the voice of Ziyang God Marquis resounded again, naturally capable of sensing the suppressed crying within the Bronze Ancient City at this moment.

"We are ashamed, not daring to battle foreign tribes, and today we wish to pay tribute to the fallen Human Tribe brave warriors, hoping Clan Leader Xiao will permit it!"

"Gu Yuan Tribe’s warriors fought for our Border Wasteland, and we have come here today to give our heartfelt respects!"

As Ziyang God Marquis’s voice fell, many of the gathered warriors spoke up one after another.

"Xiao Mou on behalf of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s warriors thanks you all for your kindness, but the Gu Yuan Tribe has just endured a bloody battle, and sorrow pervades our tribe, with both young and old deeply mourning. The thoughts of all tribe people are hereby acknowledged by the Clan Leader, but currently, the order within the tribe is in disarray."

Xiao Chen’s voice rang out, tactfully declining the many warriors’ intention to enter the Tribal Mountain City to pay tribute, as there were simply too many people gathered.

He also believed that many warriors sincerely came to pay respect, but currently, the Gu Yuan Tribe was already in disarray. If many more warriors were to enter for tribute, he could not foresee the complications that might arise.

At present, the remains of a million warriors from the Gu Yuan Tribe haven’t been buried, which is because they are waiting for the Human Ancestral Court. The warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe who fought bloodily at the Border Wasteland deserve honor from the Ancestral Court, and even compensation for their widows after their deaths—these are the honors Xiao Chen must fight for.

Indeed, apart from striving for the rewards from the Ancestral Court, the Gu Yuan Tribe will also grant rewards. Xiao Chen felt guilty, as too many had been forced into the battlefield by him.

"Xiao Clan Leader, we understand that the influx of so many warriors may disturb the rest of many brave warriors. We have selected a few elders to enter the ancient city on everyone’s behalf to offer tributes, if that is acceptable?"

Although Xiao Chen rejected these people’s request, there were still some elders who stepped forward and pleaded with Xiao Chen.

"Very well," Xiao Chen said softly after a moment of contemplation.

Soon, Purple Sun Venerable and other strong individuals from the Ancestral Court, along with Xiao Chen, proceeded toward the interior of the Bronze Ancient City. Following them were the elders elected by the people who, albeit elected, still numbered over a thousand as they headed toward the ancient city.

In the Bronze Ancient City, an indescribable grief pervaded the air, tinged with the scent of blood. Amid the hazy sadness, there was not a hint of blood-red, only an air of solemn killing.

In the ancient city, once bustling with life, apart from the low sounds of crying, no other sounds existed; the scent of sandalwood filled the air, with ashes from burnt offerings swirling about.

"This...!"

Upon entering the rows of stone houses just past the city gate, all the warriors who entered the ancient city couldn’t help but exclaim, feeling a chill in their mouths.

For these warriors from the Border Wasteland, bloody battles and fields of corpses were all too common an experience. However, even they had never seen a scene like this before— a million coffins laid out, a spectacle equal to the population of an entire top-tier Battle Division.

Whoosh!

After a moment of silence, the warriors finally came to their senses—a million coffins, each a grand monument.

"Fate and blood war, our Gu Yuan Tribe has 1,114,734 tribe people who died in battle, from the great powers of the sixth heaven of the Towering Realm to the common War Soldiers of the Bone-Tempering Realm!"

A voice rang out by the ears of the many warriors present; though it was calm, everyone could hear the sorrow in it.

"Tribute!"

Sandalwood fragrance spread thickly, continuously feeding the fire with wooden coins, honoring the fallen warriors.

"Boundless Human Tribe, bathed in blood through the ages, these are the blood-stained years!"

Chunmu Old Ancestor’s eyes had a murky depth as if in this moment, he did not want to clearly see everything before him. His aged voice carried a helpless tone.

The scene before them seemed to remind him of the past, expressing, "Years cut like knives. In our Border Wasteland, not to speak of distant times, even starting just from 50,000 years ago, our Border Wasteland has not seen a power stronger than the Legendary Marquis Department. Without the protection of a mighty force, the Border Wasteland has suffered from constant invasions by other races!"

"The fate plunges, the Border Wasteland sinks, and now as our fate ascends, a million people of the Human Bloodline have accomplished this. The Border Wasteland must remember!

The people behind were also paying tribute, creating momentum with the times; the Gu Yuan Tribe caught up to this moment in time at a great cost, and for the Border Wasteland, they secured a victory in the battle of fate which needs to be remembered!

Sandalwood faintly lingered, countless wooden coins continuously thrown into the fire, with some individuals even bringing their own offerings.

"The merits of the Gu Yuan Tribe will not be erased by the Border Wasteland. The widows of these brave warriors will receive resources for compensation from the Ancestral Court."

Soon, the voice of Ziyang Divine Marquis rose, as the chief of the Border Wasteland Ancestral Court, naturally representing the entire Border Wasteland. However, he paused in his speech and continued, "A shrine of Azure Blood will be established in Border Wasteland City to venerate these departed brave warriors."

Immediately after, Ziyang Divine Marquis’s voice rose again, addressing the numerous warriors following him: "Those from the Border Wasteland who fought bloodily may reside in the Azure Blood Ancestral Hall and receive continuous worship from generations of Border Wasteland Human Tribe."

Outside the Bronze Ancient City, many warriors were not permitted to enter the city, but they did not leave. Instead, they set up offering tables beneath the city, lit sandalwood, and presented their prepared offerings, expressing their respect.

Hum!

As countless people worshipped, the Sky Vault ripped open, and a supremely majestic aura descended. It was a flat boat no more than ten feet long, just like one made of ordinary wood from the Desolate Wilds.

A figure stood upright on the wooden boat, emitting no momentum, yet everyone felt as if this person was revered by heaven and earth, isolating their connection with the world because of his presence.
