New Chapter: Offering the Wrong Sacrifice, Expressing the Wrong Sentiments
As the palm-sized fragments of the black contraband floated to the surface, people thought they had gained the approval of the ancient and modern worlds, as if it were pleased with the offering. Everyone smiled with anticipation, but in the end, such a tragedy occurred.
It was so tragic. None of the people who participated in the sacrifice survived. Their smiles hadn't even faded yet. In the rain of light, those people seemed quite satisfied... They exploded, their bodies and souls scattered.
Far from the swamp, in other outposts, the participants monitoring the sacrificial ceremony on their screens were all dumbfounded, and then, their hair stood on end.
What's going on? Is this a case of being unappreciative throughout history and getting angry?
Puff!
Almost instantly, light rained down on these strongholds, and all the well-equipped and sturdy facilities, as well as spaceships, disintegrated. All the participants vanished into thin air, their divine cores burned, and their physical bodies turned to ashes.
In outer space, Ming Lun Xian Yue were almost there, as the distance wasn't far. However, they were both pale and their lips were trembling, so they immediately ordered a return trip.
Just moments ago they were complaining that they weren't moving fast enough and that they wouldn't make it to the sacrificial ceremony, but now they wish they had never been there at all.
In the depths of space, Yan Dao, Luo Meng, Number 63, and Mu Han witnessed the sacrifice through the probe. Their once fiery hearts were now smashed into an icy abyss.
Even they were stunned, completely unexpected that this would be the outcome.
"Ancient and modern times... are ungrateful. It is nurturing creation, waiting for new life, and thinks we have disturbed it?" one of Mu Han's disciples asked.
They discovered fragments of the Darkness Heart, and despite their painstaking preparations and devout sacrifices, they achieved absolutely no results.
"Not ancient or modern!" Mu Han said bitterly.
Even the usually composed Number 63 could no longer remain calm; his metallic eyes flashed with lightning as he stared Death Zone at the screen.
"It was the offering itself... and the spirit, the third most forbidden item in the Supernatural Central World Era, that was enraged!" Luo Meng said, alarmed.
The major figures were in deep space, far from the scene of the incident, but they all felt their bodies stiffen slightly, and even their facial expressions froze.
Was this a misplaced expression of affection, a misplaced sacrifice? They were filled with unbearable bitterness.
Because the Darkness Heart is still alive, not truly dead, yet they used it as a sacrifice and offered it to the past and present—how absurd!
Although it is broken and only a palm-sized piece remains, it was once an unparalleled supreme sacred object, ranking one place higher than all previous and present artifacts.
Now, everyone felt a chill run down their spines; what they had done was... indescribable.
Many years from now, even after several Mythological Era the Vanished, this farcical incident will likely still be a classic case and recorded in history.
"The Dragon Hunter are dead... They're all just trolls!"
Regret is useless now, what's done is done. On that planet, the Darkness Heart is glowing and destroying several strongholds in succession. The experiencers there will probably all die!
Without a doubt, Yan Dao, Number 63, Luo Meng, and the others have gotten themselves into big trouble this time!
In the sea of stars, before the cosmic rift, Wang Xuan held the Imperial Dao Spear and confronted the Shake Dao Hammer, which was constructed from textures, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't have time to pay attention. When the final moment arrived, World War I would solve all the problems.
The Mechanical Xiao melted and reformed, temporarily becoming Wang Xuan's metal armor; otherwise, it would have been very dangerous.
The atmosphere is tense now. After many years, a top-level power has descended upon the Supernatural Great Universe, and Killing Aura is spreading.
The Supreme Texture scattered by the Imperial Dao Spear engulfed Wang Xuan, providing layer upon layer of protection. It took the opponent very seriously. Even though the main body hadn't come over, it meant that the opponent couldn't sustain a prolonged battle and might make a desperate gamble.
"Boom!"
The battle was imminent upon contact. The Shake Dao Hammer was too powerful, smashing down as if it could shatter the Ninth Heaven. Its force was so intense that the light of the rules boiled.
This area was filled with chaos, and the two treasures clashed fiercely countless times until they separated.
"It's a bit of a shame that this crossover attempt failed." Behind the Shake Dao Hammer, the very blurry phantom didn't participate much; he was just observing.
"So you're that Giant Whale? Your body is connected to the Exotic Power Space Pool, so even if it's unstable, it can still be used by us." The shadow sighed.
They received a vague signal and learned that there were "extraterrestrials" here. His first thought was to control them, lure the enemy into this universe, and then hunt them down.
Overall, his thinking is the same as that of Mu, Yandao, and others.
In particular, he was even more disappointed after learning that the opponent's power output was very stable and could provide Supernatural Factor for a long time, which was secretly revealed by the Great Red Sky Saber.
"Young man, let's cooperate and form an alliance! I swear by a blood curse that I will do everything in my power to help you break through and rise to become a hegemon in the Supernatural Central World."
Wang Xuan didn't want to hear him say any more, so he drew his gun and pressed forward, ready to fight him to the death again, hoping to get rid of him as soon as possible so he could feel at ease.
Although the Transcendent Immortals and gods lamented their impending doom, blaming the merciless Great Universe for erasing all traces of the extraordinary, Wang Xuan now found himself growing fond of this Great World. Without the universe's correction, the fate of these experiencers upon entering would be unimaginable.
In this current environment, where the Correction of the Present World and closes doors, he wields the Imperial Dao Spear and can become a "roadblock" here, hunting down many participants.
That dull bronze hammer was a forbidden item wielded by a certain ruling clan in a specific region of the Supernatural Central World. It was named the Shake Dao Hammer, and it truly possessed extraordinary properties.
At its most glorious moment, this item reached beyond the boundaries of space, blasting through Remote Universe. It was besieged by several forbidden items, and then fell into the Sea of Origin, but it did not sink. It broke free again, shattering an extremely powerful sacred artifact, annihilating a very powerful race, and winning the position of supreme ruler for the race of the experiencer, maintaining its dominant position for many years.
"When we meet again, let's fight in our true forms!" The Shake Dao Hammer emitted a wave of consciousness, and then the runes disintegrated, collapsing completely.
Chaos emerged from the cosmic rift, unleashing a terrifying storm that ravaged the outside world, turning countless probes into dust, and even those in distant regions malfunctioned.
"This world will one day be opened up." The blurry shadow uttered its last words and then vanished.
Wang Xuan stayed put, waiting for the gate to the universe to be completely sealed, lest the opponent launch a last-minute sneak attack just before victory.
The tiny crack that was pried open was like hot water poured from a thermos in the dead of winter melting the snow on the ground; without a continuous source of heat, it began to freeze again.
The broken half of the Great Red Sky Saber charged wildly inward, its remaining alien power boiling. The Mythological Factor it had absorbed in the chaos were also burning. It was stuck here; if it couldn't get through, it really couldn't escape.
But I'm not willing to let it self-destruct. Whoever gets it, even if Number 63 initially refines it, will only be a passerby in its life.
Its goal is to become an irreplaceable contraband item, like the ancient and modern times and the Darkness Heart, which can stand above all other Supernatural Central World throughout the ages.
But now, it can no longer struggle. Its Super Material is exhausted, and it is impossible for it to enter the Supernatural Great Universe at present. As the passage closes, it is gradually suppressed inside.
Wang Xuan didn't make a move, waiting until the other side completely gave up after this "freezing" before he would dig up the broken knife.
Much later, when the probe reappeared outside the cosmic rift, Wang Xuan remained motionless, quietly keeping watch.
Yan Dao, Number 63, and Luo Meng all closed their eyes, filled with a sense of defeat. The Two Realms Channel, the gate to the universe, had been opened, and they had been completely ended.
Moreover, there probably won't be another chance in the future, unless the Supernatural Great Universe has some forbidden items that are close to ancient and modern times, and together with the Shake Dao Hammer and other items, they can open a new path.
But where can we find sacred objects that are close to those of ancient and modern times? That level cannot be driven or controlled; it can truly defy the Universe Rule.
"The last key is lost too!" Mu Han said sadly.
Ancient or modern? Forget about it, even offering a sacrifice has caused a huge disaster!
What troubles them most is that Darkness Heart has been angered and is now like a black sun hovering over that inhabited planet.
Even now, it hasn't landed. It seems that while it was destroying all the participants, it absorbed some of the memories from the human god cores and quickly headed towards the remaining strongholds, destroying them one by one.
This thing holds grudges; it'll bring disaster upon itself!
"The top-ranked contraband items can transform chaos into the extraordinary power needed, but they are just fragments. Hopefully, they will stop at that planet and not come out." Ming Lun was a little worried.
After a day and a night, Wang Xuan, who had been guarding the area for a long time, began to dig it up with the Old Earth Imperial Dao Spear.
"Don't come any closer!" The broken Great Red Sky Saber felt that the sky above it was so gloomy, and that this villain from Remote Universe was really going to capture it.
Most importantly, will the other party completely destroy it?
"Hehe..." The Imperial Dao Spear chuckled strangely. Without Wang Xuan even needing to swing it, it excitedly exerted its power, weaving together dazzling rules.
"I'm going to self-destruct!" The Great Red Sky Saber was in despair.
"If you leave your blade body, I will allow your consciousness to depart, but you must also dissipate voluntarily, so that the next Mythological Era may reappear. Otherwise, I will do everything in my power to capture you and annihilate you, body and soul!" Imperial Dao Spear said fiercely.
After a standoff, runes flashed between the treasures, indicating an intense "exchange." Wang Xuan didn't hear it, but he guessed it wasn't anything kind.
Finally, the consciousness of the Great Red Sky Saber broke free and vanished completely deep within the passage with a bang.
"What's wrong with it?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Without a supreme treasure of this caliber from ancient and modern times guiding it back from the darkness, it would not have appeared in this Mythological Era," the Imperial Dao Spear explained.
The two broken blades were not destroyed; the traces of Supreme Texture inside were very clear, which were the trajectory of Dao left by the Great Red Sky Saber.
The Imperial Dao Spear glowed as I observed and studied it from beginning to end, imprinting those marks into my consciousness.
Not long after, Wang Xuan left with the Mechanical Xiao, hitched a ride on a ship in the starry sky, and embarked on his journey home.
"If I can't get the Ascension Banner, then I'll refine this Great Red Sky Saber into the First Killing Array Diagram!" He hurried towards his destination.
