Chapter Summary: The Secret of the Blood Sacrifice (1/3)

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhou Heng, the five Dragon Empresses, and Black Donkey are trapped inside the Dragon Emperor’s Blood Dragon Pagoda Array, a killing formation fueled by the blood and essence of tens of millions of sacrificed immortals.
• The array continuously produces blood dragons filled with powerful Yin energy and killing intent. Zhou Heng can destroy them easily, but they immediately regenerate, making escape extremely difficult.
• The five Dragon Empresses combine their strength, reaching battle power equivalent to a nine-phase Bright Immortal, but they are quickly overwhelmed. Zhou Heng protects them and Black Donkey with the Earth Rune while using the Five Elements Rune to clear a path.
• The blood dragons grow stronger as the battle continues, rising from roughly twenty-phase to forty-phase strength, indicating that the array has not yet reached its peak.
• The Blue Dragon Empress explains that the formation cannot be outlasted or bypassed; they must fight directly through the endless blood dragons.
• The Dragon Emperor abandons the formation and heads toward Immortal Severance City, intending to destroy it and obtain Zhou Heng’s fully mastered Scripture. Zhou Heng remains confident that the city’s protective formation will delay the Dragon Emperor long enough for him to escape first.
• While destroying the blood dragons, Zhou Heng notices that some of their blood leaves behind tiny fragmented runes. He gathers several of them and transfers them into the Blue Dragon Empress.
• The Dragon Empresses realize that these fragments contain the laws of heaven and earth—an insight normally accessible only to Bright World powerhouses.

Character Developments

• Zhou Heng demonstrates overwhelming combat strength, protecting the Dragon Empresses while forcing a path through the formation. More importantly, he shifts from merely fighting the array to analyzing its underlying principles.
• He reaches a major breakthrough in understanding blood sacrifices: their power does not come from blood itself, but from the laws of heaven and earth contained within every living being.

• The Dragon Emperor is portrayed as ruthless and calculating. He uses the sacrificial formation to eliminate Zhou Heng but leaves personally to attack Immortal Severance City, confident that the array will eventually grind Zhou Heng down.

Significant Themes

• The hidden principle of blood sacrifice: Every person contains traces of the world’s laws. Large-scale sacrifice gathers these fragments until they become powerful enough to break even highly sophisticated formations.
• Strength versus completeness: Zhou Heng concludes that ordinary power depends on intensity, while the power of laws depends on how complete they are. This explains why beings such as Huotian can effortlessly crush much stronger opponents.
• The terrifying cost of power: The Blood Dragon Pagoda Array’s might is directly linked to the mass slaughter of millions of immortals, emphasizing how great power can be built upon horrifying sacrifice.
• Understanding beyond brute force: Zhou Heng’s advantage lies not only in combat ability but also in recognizing the formation’s deeper mechanics.
• The gap between ordinary cultivators and supreme existences: The fragmented runes formed from countless sacrificed beings pale beside Huotian, whose bones naturally contain complete runes, highlighting the extraordinary level of true heavenly power.
