Heaven Mending Pavilion Sacrificial Spirit Slaughters in All Directions

"I sense killing intent!" Shi Hao stood on the platform before the great hall, wearing the expression of a mystical charlatan.

Shi Jue nodded and pointed westward, teasing, "Huo Ling'er really is giving off killing intent. What did you do this time?"

"Huh? Wasn't Junior Sister Huo Ling'er trying to lose weight?"

Shi Hao blurted out instinctively, without even confirming whether Huo Ling'er had come.

"You little thief, who's trying to lose weight? You're badmouthing me again!" Huo Ling'er was so furious that flames seemed to rise from her entire body. Eight Heavenly Passages appeared around her, and wings formed from Vermilion Bird Flames spread behind her.

"Good luck."

Shi Jue quietly said, then stepped aside.

Then Shi Hao fled while Huo Ling'er gave chase.

"Eight Heavenly Passages. As expected of a king's descendant. After being tempered by someone like Shi Hao, reaching Ten Heavenly Passages is entirely possible," Shi Jue said approvingly.

Even if the strongest bloodline of an Immortal King had been diluted countless times by this generation, it still gave its bearer far superior conditions compared to ordinary people.

If she could achieve an ancestral bloodline reversion, she might directly break through to the level of a Supreme Being. However, once that happened, advancing further would become extremely difficult.

"Come on, don't forget to bring the Mountain Treasure!" Shi Jue looked into the distance expectantly.

Huo Ling'er's arrival was merely a coincidence. The killing intent Shi Hao had sensed earlier came from those enemies who were itching to make a move. It had to be said that the Heaven Mending Pavilion Sacrificial Spirit deserved an award for best actor; it had bluffed the Venerables like the Sky Swallowing Sparrow into complete confusion.

Half a year later, someone finally lost patience with waiting, and large forces began attacking Heaven Mending Pavilion.

"Kill!"

"So many people. Does Heaven Mending Pavilion have this many enemies?" Shi Hao and Shi Jue stood side by side on the high platform, staring at the enormous crowd below as it surged up the stairs in a vast tide. They could not help clicking their tongues.

"I think it's because of the two of us. After all, we offended quite a few of these enemies. Of course, some are here to take a bite out of Heaven Mending Pavilion," Shi Jue said calmly, his expression utterly composed.

These people from various clans were nothing. Once the Heaven Mending Pavilion Sacrificial Spirit made its move, greed would be buried beneath fear.

"Ah, damn it! You used underhanded tricks!"

A shrill scream suddenly rang out from the heavens, drawing the attention of the enemies who had just been about to attack.

A Divine Vine shot into the sky, dazzling green radiance blazing around it as it pierced through the Sky Swallowing Sparrow, a gigantic Fierce Bird shrouded in black mist. Dark-red precious blood poured down like rain over the land of Heaven Mending Pavilion.

The Sky Swallowing Sparrow tried to resist, but the Divine Vine seemed rooted within its body, firmly binding both its soul and flesh.

"Heh, underhanded tricks? Compared to a faithless remnant like you, Sky Swallowing Sparrow, this is nothing. Your teacher guided you, yet how did you repay him? By trying to devour him?"

"Since you're here, become nourishment for the land of Heaven Mending Pavilion!"

"Wait, leave the wings behind. They're delicious!" Shi Jue suddenly shouted.

"Buzz!"

The Sacrificial Spirit's gourd swayed, signaling its understanding.

"Rip!"

"Screech!"

The next instant, a miserable cry rang out. The Sky Swallowing Sparrow's enormous wings, vast enough to shroud the heavens, were forcibly torn off by the Sacrificial Spirit, then tossed down together with a white jade box shaped like a regular hexahedron.

"Hehe, so this is the Mountain Treasure? After waiting so long, I finally have it." Shi Jue swiftly stored it in his Heavenly Passage, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

His guess had been right. A naturally cunning creature like the Sky Swallowing Sparrow would never casually hide the Mountain Treasure it had worked so hard to seize somewhere else. What it trusted most was itself.

"You want to leave? If I had not undergone Nirvana and been reborn, Heaven Mending Pavilion would surely have run with blood today!"

Seeing those Venerables trying to flee, the Heaven Mending Pavilion Sacrificial Spirit abandoned its usual gentleness. Several vines shot into the sky like spears, carrying biting killing intent. They were merely a group of Venerables—slaying them would do.

Several vines pierced through several more Venerables, leaving the rest terrified out of their wits. Their greed vanished completely. Knowing they could not contend with this foe, they burned their essence blood, unleashed their precious artifacts, and fled desperately into the distance.

"This is a Sacrificial Spirit? It's this fierce?" Shi Hao was instantly dumbfounded.

Those Venerables, who still seemed so distant to them, were like ants before the Heaven Mending Pavilion Sacrificial Spirit. It slaughtered in all directions as easily as chopping vegetables, and the rain of blood nearly dyed the land around Heaven Mending Pavilion red.

"Of course it's strong. A Sacrificial Spirit that has ignited Divine Fire is beyond the reach of a few Venerables!" Shi Jue was not surprised.

"Divine Fire... no wonder it's so powerful. But what a pity. If I'd known, I would've wanted some Fierce Beast meat too."

Shi Hao spoke regretfully as he watched the Fierce Beasts turn into minced flesh and fall to the ground. His heart ached; there was no way to piece them back together into anything whole.

"These two chicken wings are enough to eat. This is Venerable-level meat—I'm eating it for the first time too." Shi Jue kicked the black wings twice. Rather than smelling foul as expected, they carried a medicinal fragrance.

"That's true. They're so huge, there's enough for everyone in Stone Village." Shi Hao stared at the massive wings, his eyes shining.

As for the people who had been preparing to charge up the mountain, they had all fled. The Sacrificial Spirit was slaughtering Venerables in all directions. If they did not run now, once it had time to spare, they would meet the same fate.

Of course, the elders and disciples of Heaven Mending Pavilion had no intention of letting them escape just like that. Their enemies had attacked their very doorstep. They had originally planned to fight to the death, but now that they saw the Sacrificial Spirit displaying such overwhelming might, they were immediately fired up. Precious Techniques and precious artifacts were hurled at the invaders as though they cost nothing.

"So the Sacrificial Spirit's impending fall was fake. I was even thinking of contacting my imperial father to have him protect Heaven Mending Pavilion," Huo Ling'er sighed. She quite liked the atmosphere here and did not want it to end like this.

"Junior Sister, you were planning to contact Big Brother?" Shi Hao said with a grin.

"Get lost! Stop taking advantage of me!" Huo Ling'er's willow brows immediately furrowed as she snapped coldly. For some reason, Shi Hao's words were incredibly infuriating. She had lost control of her emotions more times than she had in all the previous years combined.

The Sacrificial Spirit's one-sided massacre and the battle below involving the elders both ended quickly. Without question, Heaven Mending Pavilion emerged victorious. Not only had it vented its anger thoroughly, but it had also obtained many precious artifacts, strengthening its foundations even further.

Soon, the world was shaken, and the entire Wild Domain trembled. Heaven Mending Pavilion, which no one had thought highly of, had actually turned the tables. Its Sacrificial Spirit had undergone Nirvana and powerfully slain seven or eight invading Venerables, leaving everyone horrified.

This time, Heaven Mending Pavilion would not become history. Instead, it had grown even stronger. With a Sacrificial Spirit at its peak standing guard, what faction would dare provoke Heaven Mending Pavilion?

Several royal mansions, great clans, and Pure Lands all sent people to pay visits. The elders of Heaven Mending Pavilion held their heads high at last, overjoyed beyond measure.
