57: Chapter 57 Sacrifice of Flesh and Blood to the Heavens! The Ancient Divine Kingdom on the Verge of Collapse!

"Roar!!!"

The deafening roar seemed as if it would completely tear this heaven and earth apart.

Under the frenzied scouring of the xuanming heavy water, the Ancient Blood Demon's mountain-like colossal body had already become pitted and riddled with holes on the surface.

For this ancient demon born from filth and slaughter, the death threat stemming from the depths of its soul instinctively plunged it into the most frenzied state of berserk.

It sensed that the insignificant human before it, along with the phantom of the deity emitting water-blue divine light behind him, possessed the power to completely obliterate its origin!

If the consumption continued like this, it would be worn to death right here!

"Lululu…"

A spine-chilling low hum emanated from the deepest part of the Ancient Blood Demon's body, resembling countless wronged souls wailing in despair.

Immediately after, under Lin Yunfei's abruptly constricted pupils, the Ancient Blood Demon made a crazy move that everyone least expected!

"Bang——!!!"

Without the slightest warning, the Ancient Blood Demon's massive flesh mountain, standing dozens of zhang tall, actually exploded with a boom right on the spot!

"Retreat!"

Lin Yunfei's expression changed drastically. His hands swiftly formed hand seals, controlling nine frantic black water dragons to quickly fall back, condensing an incomparably thick black water wall in front of himself and Lian Zhan and the others.

Flying all over the sky were not pieces of flesh, but tens of millions of dark red blood lines as thin as gossamer!

These blood lines seemed to possess their own lives. Ignoring physical obstruction, like a rain of flowers filling the sky, they frantically shot towards all directions of the Wasteland Divine Kingdom, instantly piercing into the earth, rocks, and even into that dark red miasma.

"What is it doing? Is it committing suicide?" Zhang Hao asked, hiding behind the xuanming water shield with a pale face and a trembling voice.

"Idiot! Shut up and watch carefully!" Lin Yunfei let out a cold shout, the expression beneath his mask unprecedentedly solemn. "This beast is making a sacrifice!"

Just as the words fell.

The entire ancient Wasteland Divine Kingdom seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button accelerating its death in an instant!

Several kilometers away from the plaza, a Tier 1 Armored Rhinoceros lingering on its last breath amidst the ruins suddenly let out a shrill scream. A tiny blood line unexpectedly pierced through its abdomen from beneath the ground without any warning.

In the span of a mere blink of an eye, the flesh and blood essence of this massive, astonishingly defensive Armored Rhinoceros was instantly drained dry, transforming into a withered, weathered skeleton that shattered all over the ground with a clatter.

Not only the Armored Rhinoceros.

Low-tier fierce beasts hidden deep within the ruins, mutant vines growing tenaciously in the fissures, and even those surviving wraiths wandering at the edge of the divine kingdom…

At this moment, they all fell prey to the blood lines!

"Hiss hiss hiss!!!"

Scalp-tingling extraction sounds converged from every corner of the divine kingdom.

The earth was losing the last trace of vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally dark red soil rapidly withered and desertified, turning into a nutrientless, ashen gray color.

This Ancient Blood Demon was actually using the surviving creatures and earth vein power of the entire dilapidated divine kingdom as sacrifices to launch a harrowing flesh and blood sacrifice to the heavens!

"Crazy! This monster is completely crazy!"

Lian Zhan looked at the instantly withered world outside the barrier, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. As a core descendant of a noble family, he knew all too well what such a taboo method meant.

This was overdrawing the foundation of the entire space in exchange for a brief peak combat power!

"Rumble!!!"

Along with massive amounts of life essence and earth vein power frantically flowing backward along thousands of blood lines toward the center of the plaza.

The Ancient Blood Demon's origin, which had originally exploded, began a terrifying reorganization in mid-air.

This time, it no longer condensed into that bloated and clumsy flesh mountain from before, but transformed into a terrifying demonic shadow standing a hundred zhang tall, its entire body covered in dark red crystal armor!

Behind the demonic shadow, eight blood-colored tentacles as thick as flood dragons danced in the air, and every swing could tear open pitch-black cracks in the air.

And what made people feel most desperate was the aura exuded from this demonic shadow.

The barrier of the Tier 1 peak was easily pierced through like paper under the impact of that massive amount of flesh and blood.

It climbed frantically!

A terrifying divine might that surpassed all living beings, carrying endless destruction and calamity, descended crashingly upon this wasteland!

"Pseudo… Pseudo-Tier 2…"

Even if it just carried the word "pseudo", it was still a terrifying existence that had touched the domain of Tier 2 deities!

In this ancient trial ground that could at most accommodate the power of the Tier 1 peak, the appearance of a pseudo-Tier 2 monster was simply an unstoppable cataclysmic disaster!

"Ka ka ka ka…"

A teeth-aching cracking sound suddenly came from overhead.

Lin Yunfei abruptly raised his head, his eyes beneath the mask reflecting a doomsday-like scene.

It could no longer bear it!

This ancient divine kingdom, which was already tottering due to the erosion of time and divine wars, finally reached the physical limit it could bear at the moment the Ancient Blood Demon was forcibly elevated to pseudo-Tier 3!

The sky, like a mirror struck by a heavy hammer, began to collapse on a large scale.

Thousands of meters long black spatial great cracks, resembling ferocious abyss giant mouths, frantically spread across the firmament.

Violent spatial turbulence surged out from the cracks, ruthlessly twisting all the ruins, stone pillars, and even light along the way into nothingness!

The earth was emitting a painful lament.

Patch after patch of the ground began to collapse, and bottomless pitch-black abysses were exposed to the air, as if the entire world would completely plunge into dead silence in the next second.

"Creator! The divine kingdom is going to be completely destroyed!"

In Lin Yunfei's mind, the terrified roar of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree resounded: "At most three minutes left! Once the space completely collapses, everyone will be sucked into the spatial turbulence, leaving not even a skeleton behind!"

"Damn it!"

Lin Yunfei couldn't help but curse, his mood—which had originally been joyful due to grabbing a huge windfall—instantly plummeting to the bottom of the valley.

He had originally thought that relying on Yushi's attribute restraint, he could steadily grind this Ancient Blood Demon to death, and by the way, ruthlessly fleece a large sum from these few big suckers.

Who could have thought that this brainless beast would be so ruthless? Unable to win, it directly flipped the table and blew up the map of the entire dungeon!

"Whoosh—"

A violent blood-colored hurricane mixed with spatial turbulence whistled past.

Lin Yunfei stood in front of Lian Zhan and the other three. Behind him, Yushi's phantom also grew somewhat dim under the terrifying pressure of that pseudo-Tier 2, as if it could be blown away by this violent storm at any moment.

The nine xuanming water dragons emitted uneasy low roars, tightly wrapping around Lin Yunfei's surroundings to resist the oppressive feeling sufficient to tear apart souls.

"Benefactor…"

Lian Zhan knelt on the ground, looking up at Lin Yunfei's black figure that, although suppressed, was still as straight as a pine, his eyes filled with despair and reluctance.

"Benefactor, don't worry about us anymore!"

This usually arrogant and despotic young master of a noble family actually grew a backbone for once at this moment. Clenching his teeth tightly, he shouted with red-rimmed eyes:

"This monster is no longer something humanly possible to contend with! Space is about to collapse immediately, and with your heaven-reaching methods, you will definitely be able to escape alone!"

"If you take burdens like us along, everyone will die here! Please hurry and leave! Being able to meet you makes this life of mine, Lian Zhan, worth it!"

Facing the pseudo-Tier 2 monster and the impending collapse of the world, whoever stayed behind would be walking a dead end.

With his back to them, Lin Yunfei listened to Lian Zhan's death-defying shout, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Leave?

Of course he wanted to leave!

This was f*cking Tier 2 or 3! No matter how profound Lin Yunfei's foundation was, right now he was just a newcomer who had awakened not long ago. What could he use to go toe-to-toe with a monster of this level?

But the problem was that the surrounding space had been completely locked down by this monster's blood-colored laws. Unless he could beat it half to death or force it back, he couldn't even find a gap to open the passage of the divine kingdom!

"Since we can't escape, we can only fight it out…"

Lin Yunfei took a deep breath, crazily injecting the Creator's origin he had just absorbed from Lian Zhan's storage pouch into Yushi's phantom.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze beneath the mask sweeping over the three people on the ground, and said in a grim tone:

"Taking money from others to eliminate disasters for them. Since I've collected your protection fee, there's no rule of abandoning the employer and running away halfway!"

"Furthermore…"
