Sacrifice to Heaven Activated

Looking at the story Tian Xin told in isolation, it was full of holes.

But rumors are inherently full of holes; many rumors are wildly different from the truth.

However, it's also possible that within those absurd rumors, some astonishing facts are hidden.

Perhaps it wasn't Heaven that made the ancient World King solitary, perhaps his relatives and friends didn't die by accident, and it's even possible that the person who supposedly made the ancient World King put his treasures into a treasure chest didn't exist at all.

Even if he did put them in, couldn't the ancient World King take them out again?

But if this key is real, what lock can it open? Could it really be related to the ancient World King? Perhaps a treasure chest really exists, although it might not be the ancient World King's treasure chest at all.

Lin Shen held the key and examined it repeatedly. Aside from the different shape of the teeth, the key was extremely similar to the one on Lao Ye in both size and material. Even the heart-shaped design was identical.

"If there really are Three Treasure Keys, why would Lao Ye have one? If this is just a story Tian Xin made up to survive, what are these two keys for?" Lin Shen was completely baffled; there were simply too few clues.

Putting away the key, Lin Shen didn't ask Tian Xin anything else. He took the water pouch and went to collect the Gene Mutation Fluid flowing from the giant python's wound.

Wei Wufu had drunk quite a bit just now and couldn't drink any more.

"Old Wei, how do you feel? Are you better?" Lin Shen asked while collecting the Gene Mutation Fluid.

"Good," Wei Wufu nodded.

"That's good." Lin Shen also put his mouth to the wound and sucked the Gene Mutation Fluid that was overflowing.

After only a few sips, Lin Shen stopped drinking.

This Gene Mutation Fluid was indeed a good thing. The fact that it was useful to Wei Wufu indicated that this was a Crystal Gene Level Mutated Creature.

However, after Lin Shen drank it, the information displayed on his watch still showed Gene Mutation Rate +0. For him, it could only be used to quickly restore physical strength and energy; it couldn't increase the success rate of gene mutation. Drinking it now was a waste, and drinking too much might even cause problems, as the energy content within was extremely high.

On the other hand, Wei Wufu, after drinking a lot of the Gene Fluid, gradually regained feeling in his legs.

"Friend, everything I said is true. We can cooperate to find the treasure chests. There are exactly three treasure chests, one for each of us. I'll even let you choose first, how about that?" Tian Xin was still talking over there.

"How do you know the ancient World King died on this planet? Didn't you say no one knew where the ancient World King died?" Lin Shen chatted with Tian Xin casually.

"To be honest, my sister-in-law's second uncle's aunt's father, is a Historian..." Tian Xin said with a sincere expression.

After hearing the beginning, Lin Shen had no interest in listening further.

A clear phoenix cry suddenly came from the sky. Lin Shen immediately looked in the direction of the cry and instantly saw the translating orange-red halo.

"It's that bird... not good... it's flying this way..." Lin Shen saw clearly that the terrifying orange-red halo was actually flying towards them. Without a word, he called out to Wei Wufu and ran.

He couldn't even see what the bird looked like, not knowing what a terrifying existence it was, and didn't dare to face it at all.

"Friend... take me with you... I..." Seeing Lin Shen and Wei Wufu about to escape, Tian Xin shouted anxiously.

Lin Shen hesitated for a moment, turned around, and carried Tian Xin, continuing to run.

The three of them didn't run far before the orange-red halo was already close. They could only find a place to hide among the piles of rocks.

Fortunately, the orange-red halo's target wasn't them. They watched as the sky-covering orange light descended, dyeing the entire white beach and ocean orange-red.

Lin Shen and the other two felt uneasy and leaned further back behind the rocks, thinking that the orange-red light might carry high heat or other damaging effects. However, after the light descended, they didn't feel the nearby temperature rise.

The giant python's massive body was directly picked up and instantly flung into the sky.

That massive body, weighing who knows how many tons, probably couldn't even be lifted by a regular crane, yet it was being tossed hundreds of meters into the air like a toy. It was truly hard to imagine what kind of terrifying power that was.

Another phoenix cry echoed, and an orange-red halo shot into the sky, meeting the giant python. In just an instant of contact, the giant python vanished, seemingly swallowed by the distorted halo.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the three, the orange-red halo flew towards the depths of the ocean, disappearing in a flash.

"Steel Sacrifice +1... Steel Sacrifice +1..."

Some information suddenly appeared in Lin Shen's mind. After careful thought, he realized it was the Sacrifice to Heaven ability showing activity.

What's going on? Lin Shen wondered, looking around. He didn't see anyone nearby, so why did the Sacrifice to Heaven suddenly react?

Along with the information about the increasing sacrifices, Lin Shen felt a surge of heat appear out of nowhere in his body. The heat spread throughout him, as if his blood was boiling, his cells were becoming active, and his muscles were filled with power, as if a single punch could pierce steel.

"Alloy Sacrifice +1..."

Following this piece of information, Lin Shen immediately felt the heat flow in his body explode. Terrifying energy filled his entire being, surging like a volcano about to erupt, seemingly impossible to suppress.

He could clearly feel that his body had been terrifyingly strengthened, and even the steel armor he wore was constantly being reinforced.

A blood-colored halo actually bloomed on the mirror-like armor.

"What in the world is going on with that kid?" Tian Xin watched, dumbfounded, his heart crying out in strangeness.

Lin Shen looked like nothing more than a Steel Grade nobody, yet he had been able to unleash such terrifying speed before and even paralyze him with a single finger.

Now, his body was even glowing, like a blood-colored Buddha's light. It felt increasingly absurd.

Wei Wufu also stared blankly at Lin Shen, who was radiating a blood-colored halo. He didn't know what was happening either. Did Steel Body come with colors now? Could Steel Grade be enchanted? He'd never heard of it.

"Are you okay?" Wei Wufu asked.

"I'm fine. You keep an eye on him. I'm going to take a look around." Lin Shen poked Tian Xin's pressure points again. His strength was clearly many times greater than before. With this poke, Tian Xin's eyes and nose streamed with tears from the pain.

Lin Shen turned and left. He could vaguely sense the location of the sacrifices. The sacrifices were increasing non-stop and were all in the same location. He wanted to go and see what was happening and what those sacrifices were.

With the blessing of Sacrifice to Heaven, Lin Shen felt his body filled with power. The gravity here no longer felt significant to him. He rushed into the Steel Forest with wind under his feet, heading in one direction.

From a distance, he heard sounds of fighting and screams. Lin Shen quietly snuck over and found that outside the Steel Forest was a mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a group of people were being besieged by a group of Gene Mutation Creatures.

These Gene Mutation Creatures were very strange. Each one was larger and more robust than the Hulk, a monstrous giant made of piled-up metal lumps.

The most numerous were the gray Steel Giants, numbering perhaps over a thousand. Among them were also some taller giants with a blue metallic sheen, which should be Alloy Grade, numbering several dozen.

There were also a few giants that were entirely like black jade, about seven or eight meters tall, each possessing immense strength, their fists like large black jade hammers. They were undoubtedly Crystal Grade.

Most terrifyingly, among the many giants, there was also a terrifying Giant King over ten meters tall, whose entire body was like obsidian, and who wore an obsidian crown on his head.

The people being besieged by these giants were none other than the people from the Qi and Wang families and Bai Shenfei.

Bai Shenfei was fighting the Giant King alone, and the situation didn't look optimistic.

As for the people from the Qi and Wang families, under the siege of the surging tide of giants, people were constantly falling, relying entirely on the two Mystic Birds for support.

Lin Shen saw a person fall, and a "Sacrifice +1" prompt appeared in his mind. Without a doubt, those sacrifices were these people from the Qi and Wang families.

The watch on his wrist was also vibrating non-stop, his various stats skyrocketing.
