There were a total of ten elders from the Jade Star Upper Palace who arrived at the Xiong Continent. After everyone agreed, it meant that the decision had been made. It was useless for the other nine who were not here to object.
However, as they were separated by the void, it was impossible for them to do this elsewhere. Moreover, time was running out. If they hesitated for even a moment, the Void Demon God might descend upon the world. Hence, everyone made another choice.
That was to directly sacrifice more than ninety percent of the bloodline beings in this world.
If they could, they would rather sacrifice the entire world. Because different sacrifices would receive different responses. Among them, one realm was the highest, and it would be most pleasing to the Void Mother.
In reality, it was not that they were unwilling to do so, but they were bound by inherent reasons.
Perhaps it was due to the disparity in the communication target, the larger and more complicated the sacrificial object, the slower the process would be. Therefore, the Jade Star Upper Palace usually only sacrificed gods and monsters, and the results would be obtained after a few days.
However, if it involved a realm, it would take tens of millions of years. It was obviously impossible to accomplish in a single move. In such a long time, the Demon God would have already descended upon the world.
Under Night Zhu's leadership, the elders immediately held the ritual sacrifice. It only took a day to complete all the complicated rituals.
Outside, Sima Quan unexpectedly discovered that from Just Now onwards, he could not hear what the elders were saying. It was as if he was being obscured by a powerful force.
After the sacrifice, the bloodline descendants of the gods and monsters on the Xiong Continent, Ji Continent, Zhi Continent, and dozens of other islands, apart from those standing on the sea, did not manage to escape. They were all swallowed by the void.
Although the six sect masters and clan masters were unwilling, they could not resist the Jade Star Upper Palace's decision. They could only choose to comply.
Fortunately, as long as they were still around, they could go somewhere else. In less than a thousand years, they could still pull up a large bloodline sect. Moreover, they had made a considerable sacrifice this time. After defeating the demonic believers and settling this matter, they believed that the Upper Palace would not mistreat them.
On the fourth day after the ritual, everyone who participated suddenly trembled. An inexplicable consciousness appeared in their minds. It was regarding how to deal with the Flowing Light Treasure.
Night Zhu looked at everyone and said, "Elders, the Void Mother has given us the answer."
Everyone nodded. This thing seemed to originate from, but due to the huge difference in power, they could not destroy it. In fact, it could be said that they were powerless.
Fortunately, this thing had a weakness. Before turning a target into jade, it could not attack another living being. The higher the level of the target, the longer the process of turning into jade. Previously, he had seen all the Gods and Monsters instantly turn into jade stone wherever the flowing light passed. That was only because their levels were too low, so they were instantly defeated and killed after coming into contact with a little bit of it.
After being reminded, everyone realized that this weakness was actually very easy to discover. However, no one felt it was worth it.
If they had to do it themselves, it would probably take them ten days to half a month, and even many elders would have to die before they could verify this result.
Yu Muli said, "If that's the case, we only need a sufficiently powerful being to block this thing for us, and we'll be able to resolve the threat before us."
An elder said, "How are we supposed to find them in such a short time?"
Yu Muli said, "There are two ways. One is to go to the void and lure a useful god over. The other way …" He paused for a moment. "Is for one of us to swallow the Nether Space Divine Essence and take that step."
The first method was immediately rejected by everyone because time did not allow for it. First of all, it was not easy to find such a monster, and even if it was found, it would not be easy to deal with it. Making it obediently listen to orders was even more difficult. If they did not go through a detailed plan, there was almost no chance of success.
As for the second method, after participating in the ritual of sacrificing the Void Mother and offering enough sacrifices, the descendant would be bestowed with a Seed of the Nether Void. With this, they could easily obtain the Divine Essence of the Nether Void, just like the source of their ancestral bloodline.
Normally, they would slowly absorb it and refine their body. When they were completely used to it, they would be able to control this power. This process would take a long time, and it was not enough to rely on one's own lifespan. Therefore, they would need to borrow the Eternal Fire to maintain their lives. Those who had transcended in the past were no longer in the Jade Star Palace.
If the Nether Space Divine Essence was poured into one's body in one go instead of slowly guiding it, it could greatly increase one's battle prowess in a short period of time. It could be said that it was a complete upgrade. Their past abilities could not compare.
However, this was not without a price. If one stayed in this state for too long, they might become a real god. They might even be disturbed by the instinctive desires of the god and be unable to turn back into a human.
It was conceivable that normal blood descendants would not do this unless they were in a life-threatening situation.
Once Yu Muli's words left his mouth, everyone became silent.
Even if they turned into a god, there was still a sliver of hope for them to regain their sanity. However, if they were killed by the enemy, then there would be nothing left.
They had also seen the power of the jade stone. As long as they were touched by it, there was no chance of survival. Of course, not many people were willing to sacrifice their lives to save others.
Ming Zhu also knew that this was the case, but he already had a goal in his heart. His gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on one person. "Sect Leader Yan Chao, do you remember that the source of your ancestral meridian came from the god 'Mao Ku'?"
Yan Chao's heart tightened when he was stared at by Ming Zhu, but he still maintained the demeanor of a sect leader. However, there was a hint of wariness in his eyes. He pretended to be indifferent and said, "Yes." He paused and added, "This is something that everyone knows."
Ming Zhu said in the most normal tone, "Once 'Mao Ku' transforms, his body is comparable to the Great Day World Land. This is enough to delay the erosion of the flowing light. Therefore, you are the most suitable person to do this."
Yan Chao's expression changed slightly. He then questioned, "Elder Ming Zhu, are you joking? How can I do this? I have never participated in the Ritual of the Upper Palace, nor have I obtained the Underworld Divine Essence. There is nothing I can do even if I want to. "
Ming Zhu looked at him calmly and said, "Sect Leader Yan, you are too humble. Although you have never participated in the Ritual of the Upper Palace, you have done this in secret. Although you have concealed it well, ask the elders here. Which one of them has not sensed the aura of the divine essence on your body?"
Yan Chao looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him. His heart sank. He had indeed used some method to secretly sacrifice the Void Mother and absorbed the Underworld Divine Essence behind the Upper Palace's back. He was preparing to become an elder of the Upper Palace like the nineteen people in the Ten Thousand Saints Tower. This time, he had hoped that a few more of these elders would die so that he could have a seat.
However, he had never expected that after inviting these people over, he would actually get himself into trouble. He could not help but feel regret. If he had known this would happen, he would not have reported this matter. If he forcefully disobeyed now, he would definitely die.
He took a deep breath and struggled to say, "Just Now, after the sacrifice, many people in the Yan Clan have died. If I die too, won't my bloodline be cut off? I will never do this! "
Ming Zhu said, "That is not difficult. Sect Leader Yan, as long as you leave behind a trace of your blood essence, we can swear to the Void Mother that we will help you reproduce. As long as we are still here, we can ensure that your clan will prosper. How about that?"
Yu Muli said, "Sect Leader Yan, you can sacrifice yourself to ensure that the worlds will not be lost. Why are you hesitating?"
Yan Chao sneered. "Then why don't you do it, Elder Ming?
Yu Muli sighed. "The origin of the ancestral bloodline is different. Even if I use the Underworld Divine Essence, I will not be able to do what Sect Leader Yan did." He tried to persuade Yan Chao sincerely, "You saved billions of people by yourself. We are all indebted to you. We can swear that after we kill the Demon God, as long as there is a surplus in the treasury, we will sacrifice it to the Void Mother and try to reconstruct your body so that you can be revived. What do you think?"
The elders all voiced their agreement. Right now, they all wanted to comply with Yan Chao's request and did not want to force him to his death. Otherwise, they would have to take his place.
Although Yan Chao knew that he could not trust these words too much, he had no other choice at the moment. Although he could sacrifice himself, there was no benefit in doing so. There was still a sliver of possibility now.
He looked at the crowd and said in a heavy tone, "I agree."
Ming Zhu was afraid that something might happen, so he immediately swore to the Void Mother together with the other elders.
Since Yan Chao had made his decision, there was no reason for him to refuse. After discussing with the others, he swallowed the Underworld Divine Essence that he had accumulated in one go. Then, a shocking aura spread from his body. For a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with fear.
Inside the array, Zhang Chan and the others looked up and saw a giant standing between the heavens and the earth. The huge city that covered the entire continent seemed to be lifted up by the giant's shoulders. After a while, the giant slowly stretched out his hand toward the array.
Peng Xiang had accumulated his mana for five days. Now that he saw the enemy attack again, he immediately controlled the jade tablet to transform into a stream of light and meet the giant hand.
The people on both sides were staring at this scene. The stream of light collided with the giant hand. At first, there was nothing, but after a while, there was a slight pause. Then, from the tip of the finger, a jade color traveled up, first to the palm, then to the arm, and then to the whole body.
However, because this body was simply too large, even though this process seemed very quick, anyone could tell that it would take at least two to three days for it to completely transform into a jade statue.
When the elders of the Jade Star Upper Palace saw this, they were all excited.
Ming Zhu said, "Everyone, that thing is no longer a threat to me for the time being. Please work together to break through the illusion below!"
Almost at the same time, the elders attacked one after another. Because no one wanted to become the next Yan Chao, they all gave it their all this time.
When Peng Xiang saw that the stream of light was entangled with the giant monster, he knew that he couldn't count on it for the time being. He could only rely on his own strength to fight against the blood descendants of the gods and monsters.
Actually, it wasn't that the magic treasure was wrong, but that his own foundation wasn't enough to control it. If his mana was stronger, or if he could refine it, the result would be very different.
After attacking for two days, the Jade Star Upper Palace finally used up the jade sand seed that Zhang Chan and the others had used in the array. The array was completely lifted, and the barrier that enveloped this place dispersed, revealing the entire island below.
At this time, there was still a day's work to truly cultivate the altar!
