As the Universe Turns - Chapter 426
Chapter 426 Blood Sacrifice
“The ancient god is not dead …”
This time, everyone was stunned. This was simply too fantastic. Who would believe it?
Xiao Chen knew that they wouldn’t believe him, but he did sense a wisp of the ancient god’s consciousness in the Myriad Bones Formation today.
Of course, this could not be considered as living. It could only be considered as living in the world. Most of the past consciousness had been annihilated in the tens of thousands of years old river. Otherwise, an ancient god would have appeared in the human world even now. This would be too terrifying.
“Two hundred and thirteen divine bones …”
Saintess Canglang felt a chill behind his back, and his scalp gradually went numb. If it was really what Liao Wuchen said, then what exactly was this Myriad Bone Formation … Could it be that an ancient god had made his own bones into a grand formation before he died? He even devoured tens of millions of people … This was simply too unimaginable.
“Wait …”
At this moment, Luo Die walked up from behind. Her face revealed a faint look of shock. The ancient god was not dead, and the bones were left behind to this day, forming a grand formation of tens of thousands of bones that devoured countless people … Could it be that the ancient god wanted to be revived back then? However, countless ferocious bone spirits were born.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. “The consciousness of this ancient god has almost been completely annihilated. He has long since lost his consciousness. Therefore, he can only be considered to be undead. He hasn’t dissipated yet, but he can’t be considered to be alive. However, if he is still alive, then this ancient god must have been very powerful before, but now, he is more like an unconscious puppet raised by Jian Xuanfeng.”
“This …”
After hearing this, everyone present revealed horrified expressions. No wonder the Ten Thousand Bone Formation was so powerful. No wonder no one was able to break through White Bone City. According to this, Jian Xuanfeng sacrificed the living and raised this ancient god who had lost his original consciousness …
“Thus, as long as the Ancient God awakens a little bit of his original consciousness, this Myriad Bone Formation will collapse without a single attack.”
Luo Die turned around and looked at Xiao Chen, “Is that so?”
“That’s right.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were calm. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to break through an ancient god’s grand formation even if he had Golden Crow Feet or Fuxi Zither.
However, as long as this ancient god’s consciousness was awakened a little, it would be enough. How could an ancient god be willing to be enslaved by humans? Perhaps even destroying White Bone City would be possible in anger.
“Awaken the consciousness of the ancient god …”
Everyone looked at each other. Even though the consciousness of an ancient god was still alive, restoring the consciousness of an ancient god was simply too fantastic. Not to mention how to restore the consciousness of an ancient god, even if the consciousness of an ancient god was restored, if it was an ancient evil god, then they would be unlucky.
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Xiao Chen said, “The only way to break through the Myriad Bone Formation is to awaken the ancient god’s original consciousness. Everyone, rest assured, I … may be able to communicate with that ancient god.”
“Communicate with God …”
The crowd was stunned and speechless. How could he communicate with an ancient god that existed tens of thousands of years ago? No one believed him.
The atmosphere gradually became stiff. Luo Die glanced at the crowd and resolutely said, “I believe him.”
“You believe him?”
Someone in the crowd immediately revealed a look of dissatisfaction. An old man in purple said, “Of course you believe him, but this matter is not trivial. If something goes wrong in the process and we all die, how can we believe that he can communicate with the ancient god?”
“I also believe in Senior.”
At this moment, Saintess Canglang also stood up and glanced at the crowd. He frowned and said, “Have you all forgotten that Senior is not afraid of the devil energy? Just this alone is enough to prove that he is not an ordinary person.”
Hearing her words, everyone suddenly realized, yes, who could not be afraid of the devil energy? The god devil aura left behind from ancient times was almost fatal to them, but this person … why wasn’t he afraid of this god devil aura at all?
Xiao Chen looked at the crowd and remained silent. He suddenly remembered that night when he came to the Eastern Continent, the sea was shocking. That night, countless Immortal Devil Divine Buddha shadows suddenly appeared beside him. These Immortal Devil Divine Devil shadows actually surrounded him. Furthermore, they carried a terrifying devil aura, not an illusion …
When he was young in Ning Village, he often had some terrible nightmares. It seemed that from the moment he was born, there were many strange things wrapped around him. He could not see or touch them, but it was as if they really existed.
Therefore, at this moment, he wasn’t sure if he could successfully restore the ancient god’s consciousness. However, he believed that as long as he could restore even a tiny bit of consciousness, he would be able to have some sort of communication with him, just like the Immortal, Demon, God, and Buddha shadows he saw at sea that night.
Although this method was dangerous, it was the only way to break through the Myriad Bones Formation.
Saintess Canglang turned around and looked at him and asked, “Senior, do you already have … a way to restore the ancient god’s consciousness?”
“Blood sacrifice.”
Xiao Chen looked at the crowd and said these two words. When everyone heard them, they were all at a loss. What was a blood sacrifice?
The so-called blood sacrifice was something that Xiao Chen had accidentally seen in ancient books. In ancient times, some tribes summoned gods and sacrificed their blood. Each of them cut their wrists and dripped their blood into magical artifacts. Then, they would use magical sacrifices to cast spells. If they succeeded, they would be able to summon gods.
But at this moment, the “blood sacrifice” that he needed wasn’t that complicated. All he needed was a strand of blood essence from each of the 30,000 plus people here. At that time, he would be able to use his divine sense to penetrate into the 213 divine bones and awaken the ancient gods in the array.
“I need everyone to give me a wisp of blood essence. At that time, listen to my orders and bring the blood essence into the Ten Thousand Bones Formation.”
“This …”
Hearing that everyone was going to sacrifice their blood essence to the ancient god, everyone couldn’t help but hesitate. A Old man Zi Yi raised his head and looked at him. He said hesitantly, “Are you sure this method works?”
“I believe.”
Without saying a word, Saintess Canglang sliced his finger and cut a wound on his palm. He quickly took out a jade slip and sealed a wisp of blood essence into the jade slip.
Seeing this, Xue Wuyue and Fen Xie Sect Master immediately took out a jade slip and sealed it in a wisp of their blood essence. Back then, Xiao Chen did not take their soul essence, but now, what was a wisp of blood essence worth?
After the three of them took the lead, the rest of them nodded their heads and took out their jade notes without hesitation. They cut their palms and sealed a wisp of their own blood essence inside.
More than 30,000 people and 30,000 strands of blood essence from cultivators. These blood essences were definitely not comparable to the blood of ordinary people. Xiao Chen believed that he would be able to restore the ancient god of the Myriad Bone Formation to a trace of his previous consciousness. Now that everything was ready, everything depended on tomorrow.
