Chapter 819 - Blood Sacrifice Day, Fallen God Arrow
Chapter 819 Blood Sacrifice Day, Fallen God Arrow
In the Heavenly Palace, at the Yaochi Holy Dimensions, the people of the Heavenly Palace were making preparations for the feast. Juling Shen was carrying a giant pot. He placed it gently in the center of the Yaochi. Li Nianfan was sitting in front of the pot, measuring the seasoning and chopping up condiments such as onion, ginger, and garlic.
Not far away, Xiao Bai and his group led by the Food God were butchering Sitian Manxiong’s carcass. Due to his gargantuan size, he had been divided into several areas for joint butchering, making the workload more manageable. Xiao Bai took the lead and reminded, “Be careful while you’re butchering the bear. Make sure you keep the bear’s skin and fur intact. Use something to catch the bear’s blood! We can use it to make blood curd.”
As for Daji, Fire Phoenix, Nanan, Dragin, and Little Fox—they were arranging various fruit platters on the table. The fruits, including the new ones, were all brought from the four-part architecture.
“Lord Saint, I’ve brought the firewood.” As a woodcutter, Jiang Liu was very dedicated to his work. He had rushed over with a mountain of firewood propped on his shoulders.
Along with him were Su Chen and the Elite King. The two of them were carrying a pole with two buckets at each end on their shoulders. “Lord Saint, we’ve brought the drinks, too!”
The expressions of Cultivator Junjun and the others changed immediately. They knew that Su Chen and the Elite King were gong farmers and they were worried that the buckets they were using were their stock-of-trade. After taking a closer look, they were relieved to find that the buckets were not the manure buckets at all. The eyes of those who did not know of their profession lit up as soon as they smelled the aroma of the wine. It was so strong that they felt a little tipsy even before having a taste of it.
Su Changhe and the rest of the Su family huddled silently in a corner, carefully observing everything at the party. They originally thought the most shocking thing at the party was the Wisdom Dictator game meat, but to their surprise, they discovered that the game meat had been relegated to the role of a side dish.
“The water used to wash the vegetables is actually Wisdom Spiritual Water. Those vegetables are all Wisdom Spiritual Roots, and those fruits are at least a third-grade Wisdom Spiritual Fruits!”
“My goodness, I can’t believe they’re using that wood as fuel for the stove! Each of them contains the power of Wisdom which is excellent refining material!”
“I can smell the wine even from here! Wait a minute, I sense a breakthrough coming!”
“Invincible, this party’s simply invincible!”
“Gasp! Is this what they usually eat? This has opened up my eyes to the world of big shots. I’d be happy to even receive a small crumb.”
“This party alone makes the Origins Pond of Holy Dimension seem paltry by comparison!”
Soon, all the preparations were ready.
“Put it in!” ordered Li Nianfan.
They lifted the butchered Sitian Manxiong’s carcass, tossed it into the giant pot which Juling Shen then covered with a lid. All that was left to do was to wait for the meat to cook, and they did so with bowls in their hands. Their eyes never left the pot even though Goddess Nuwa had put on a dance for them.
Meanwhile, somewhere in a dense forest in the Origins Realm, there were houses built from stones. This was very odd indeed, for the place was thought to be inaccessible. All the furnishings in the stone houses looked ancient as if they had been isolated from the outside world for thousands of years. Everyone there, regardless of gender, was dressed in gray hooded robes. On their foreheads were a pair of burning red wings.
However, at that moment, the group had split into two. The two sides were at each other’s throats.
“Yun Kong, what’s the meaning of this? How dare you do this when the Blood Sacrifice Day’s approaching?” asked an old man. Yun Kong smiled coldly and said, “Chief, times have changed and the Blood Sacrifice Day should be abolished!”
“The audacity!” The old man’s face darkened. “You’re being disrespectful to the Overlord. Have you forgotten our ancestor’s teaching?”
“The Overlord? He’s fallen for countless years, and the ancestral teachings should’ve been abolished long ago! Why should we stick to the rules and stay here forever when we have unparalleled spiritual cultivation?” said Yun Kong with disdain.
The old man’s face turned beet red. “Not one more word out of your crazy mouth!” “Give me the Fallen God Arrow, and I, Yun Kong, will not only abolish the ancestral teachings but also open up the ancestral land!” said Yun Kong arrogantly.
The old man was trembling with anger. He swept his eyes across the people behind Yun Kong and asked solemnly, “I take it that you all agree with him?”.
“The Overload’s dead, but we’re alive. We should be the ones deciding our own fate, and we shouldn’t be bound by the teachings of our ancestors!” said someone.
“You rebellious good-for-nothings! I’ll kill you all with my own hands if it’s the last thing I do!” The old man was boiling with murderous intent. With one step, he took flight into the sky.
“Haha, don’t forget that I’m stronger than you now!” said Yun Kong with a smirk. He, too, took flight into the sky and started parrying with the old man. The others followed suit with each of them taking on a person from the other side.
All of them had trained using the same cultivation method, and this resulted in similar mana and ultimate spells. Generally speaking, it should be hard for both sides to gain an upper hand. However, it was evident from the way that they were fighting effortlessly that Yun Kong’s party had prepared themselves for this inevitable battle for a long time. Their combat power was stronger than those from the old man’s group and it was not long before the apparent victor could be determined.
Very quickly, the old man was suppressed by Yun Kong
“Yun Kong, I never expected you to be the sneaky type!” said the old man hoarsely. He then pressed the red wings on his forehead. It started to glow and flutter. Then, a fiery red long arrow shot out of it as its light illuminated the sky. A powerful killing aura emanated from the long arrow for it had the power to penetrate the universe.
The old man pointed at Yun Kong and said coldly, “I humbly request for the clan’s holy weapon to kill the rebels!”
“Hahaha, do you seriously think I’d come unprepared when I know you have the Fallen God Arrow?” Yun Kong smirked and with a flick of his wrist, he brought out the Fallen God Bow. He pulled the bowstring, and in place of the arrows was his mana condensed into an arrow similar to that of the Fallen God Arrow.
Both the Fallen God Bow and Fallen God Arrow did not require the other to be used as a killing weapon, for one could create an arrow and the other could move freely without the bow. However, if the two were to combine, they would become the Ultimate Slaughter Treasure!
“You have the Fallen God Bow?!” The old man’s pupils shrank rapidly. “I get it now! You must’ve secretly left this place the day the aura of the Fallen God Bow was detected. You b*stard, the ancestral teaching stipulates that we aren’t allowed to take a single step out of this place!”
The aura of the Fallen God Bow was detected the day Master Thunder and Master Lightning invited part of the Fallen God Bow’s power to deal with Nanan and Dragin. Once detected, Yun Kong had relied on his clan’s sensitivity to the aura of the Fallen God Bow to find the Executor.
“As I said long ago, the ancestral teaching should be abolished!” Yun Kong sneered disdainfully. He let go of the bowstring and the long arrow shot across the air. It was so powerful that it sent the Fallen God Bow flying.
The old man knew by then that he was no longer Yun Kong’s match. He gave up fighting and instead, turned around abruptly, grabbed three men from his clan, and used his mana to send them to safety.
