265: Chapter 265 An Existence Beyond the Immortal Realm!

After the order to sacrifice was given.

The entire lair fell into a deathly silence.

All the World-Destroying Beasts on the scene were stunned.

They looked at the beast king before them, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Sacrifice blood essence?

Isn't that taking their lives?

Blood essence is the Foundation and the Origin; once lost, the best case is a regression in cultivation, and the worst case is damage to the Foundation, or even being unable to advance any further forever.

In this world where strength is respected, for these existences that have Cultivated for countless years, strength is sometimes more important than life itself.

Making them lose blood essence and cutting off their hope of future advancement—how is that any different from killing them?

"Bastards! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and sacrifice your blood essence!"

The beast king roared, its voice filled with anxiety and anger.

It looked at the clansmen around it who were still hesitating, and it even had the urge to kill them.

It's come to this point.

The humans outside are about to break in, yet they are still hesitating; they really have no brains at all!

Is blood essence more important, or is your life more important?

How can you not understand something as simple as this? You've wasted all these years of Cultivation!

"King, I... we..."

A Half-Step Immortal Realm World-Destroying Beast opened its mouth, wanting to say something, but after seeing the murderous look in its beast king's eyes, it swallowed its words back.

"What do you mean 'we'? If we cannot awaken the ancestor, we will all die here today! It's either losing some blood essence or losing your lives; choose for yourselves!"

It was exasperated.

The World-Destroying Beast king felt like dying.

These fucking idiots, if it weren't counting on them at this critical moment, it would want to slap them to death!

Although it said that.

But all the surrounding World-Destroying Beasts kept their heads down, and no one dared to be the first to commit.

At this moment.

No one wanted to be the first to step forward; after all, sacrificing their own blood essence was no small matter...

As time passed.

Finally.

One of the Early Stage Immortal Realm World-Destroying Beasts gritted its teeth, bit its tongue tip first, and spat out a mouthful of black blood essence.

That blood essence.

Transformed into a black beam of light in the air and submerged into the eye on the wall.

With the first one.

There came the second.

One after another, the World-Destroying Beasts stood out, bit their tongue tips, and spat out blood essence.

Beams of black light surged from their mouths and poured into that giant eye.

Upon seeing this, the beast king's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.

It did not hesitate.

It immediately bit its own tongue tip and spat out its own blood essence.

As the strongest existence present, its blood essence was the most concentrated, and the black light was the most dazzling.

However.

Just when all the World-Destroying Beasts thought the sacrifice was about to be completed—

An anomaly occurred.

The eye on the wall did not stop after absorbing their blood essence.

It was as if a switch had been flipped, and it began to actively extract their blood essence.

A powerful suction force surged from the eye, instantly enveloping all the World-Destroying Beasts present.

"Not good!"

The beast king's expression changed drastically.

It wanted to stop the sacrifice, but found that it couldn't stop at all.

Its blood essence was being extracted from its body at an alarming speed.

That suction force was too strong, so strong that it couldn't resist at all.

"Wha... what is happening? Why can't it stop?"

"My blood essence! My blood essence is being continuously drained!"

"Stop it! Quickly stop!"

"Damn it, what is going on?"

"It's over... I'm about to be drained dry..."

Terrified roars echoed in the lair.

All the World-Destroying Beasts panicked; they struggled desperately, trying to break free from the suction, but it was all to no avail.

Blood essence was being extracted from their bodies crazily, as if it were worthless.

"King! What is going on? Didn't you say we only needed to sacrifice a portion of our blood essence?"

A Middle Stage Immortal Realm World-Destroying Beast roared continuously at their king, its eyes filled with anger.

"Yes... what is actually going on? If this continues, we will be drained dry."

"Think of a way quickly... I can't take it anymore!"

"I... I don't know either!"

The beast king's face was livid, and internally, it was cursing wildly.

This was the first time it had encountered such a situation, and it had no idea why it was happening.

If it had known this would happen, it wouldn't have so readily suggested awakening the ancestor; it definitely would have considered it more carefully.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"What on earth is going on? There is no such description in the Legacy memories..."

It cursed incessantly in its heart, but dared not say anything aloud.

Because it knew.

It was too late to say anything now.

The sacrifice had already begun, and it looked like it couldn't be interrupted.

Blood essence continued to drain away.

Those Half-Step Immortal Realm World-Destroying Beasts were the first to be unable to hold on.

Their cultivation began to regress, falling from the Half-Step Immortal Realm to the Peak Domain Realm, and then from the Peak Domain Realm to the Late Stage Domain Realm.

Their bodies began to wither, as if they had suddenly aged hundreds of thousands of years.

"No... my cultivation..."

"I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."

Desperate wails echoed in the lair.

And those Immortal Realm World-Destroying Beasts, although they could barely hold on, were in no better condition.

Their blood essence was also draining away at an alarming speed.

At this rate.

It wouldn't be long before they followed in the footsteps of those Half-Step Immortal Realm ones.

Just when all the World-Destroying Beasts were about to despair—

The eye on the wall.

Finally stopped absorbing.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

All the World-Destroying Beasts collapsed onto the ground.

Among them, those Half-Step Immortal Realm World-Destroying Beasts were in an even more miserable state.

Their cultivation had dropped by two full stages, falling from the Half-Step Immortal Realm to the Middle Stage Domain Realm.

"Is... is this the price for awakening the ancestor?"

"How could it be like this... If I had known, I would rather have died than agreed to sacrifice blood essence!"

"Exactly... I would rather die in battle than die so miserably!"

Even the beast king, an existence at the Late Stage Immortal Realm, although it hadn't dropped in Realm, had suffered heavy losses of blood essence and damage to its Foundation, making any further advancement in the future almost impossible.

However.

Just when they were still heartbroken over their heavy losses—

An aura terrifying to the extreme.

Suddenly surged out from behind the wall.

That aura.

Surpassed the Immortal Realm, reaching a level that no one had ever touched before.

It was dark, cold, violent, and filled with the scent of destroying everything.

It was not Law.

Not spiritual power.

And it was not Soul power!

But a higher level of power—the Power of Eternity.

The entire lair, the entire dark world, was trembling.

Even the Imperial Dynasty experts who were slaughtering World-Destroying Beasts outside stopped their killing at this moment.

"That... what is that?"

General Chu Batian stopped in his tracks, looked up towards the direction of the lair, and a hint of gravity flashed in his eyes.

Even the usually very composed Lightning Daoist Venerable became serious at this moment.

"Such a terrifying aura... it actually made this old man feel a trace of despair deep in his heart!"

And Wang Chen.

The moment he sensed that aura, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Is this... beyond the Immortal Realm?"
