138: Altar of All Souls

"No!!!"

"Marquis!"

Seeing the Blood Refining Marquis's fate, the Blood Refinement Divine Army let out a mournful cry.

On one hand, the Blood Refining Marquis had treated them well; on the other hand, with the Blood Refining Marquis's death, their own fate was predictable.

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

"Don't kill me!"

Bloody mists exploded, and heartbreaking screams echoed through the heavens and earth.

Countless Martial Artists trembled at this sight.

Rumble!!!

Just then, from a distant region, terrifying auras swept over.

"Xu Family!"

"You're courting death! How dare you annihilate my Liu Family's Blood Refinement Divine Army!"

A heaven-shaking roar came, its terrifying sound echoing for hundreds of millions of miles.

Countless Martial Artists turned pale with fear upon hearing that furious roar.

"Half-Saint! It's the Half-Saint of the Liu Family!"

Someone exclaimed, surprised that the Liu Family's speed was so fast; no sooner had the Blood Refinement Divine Army suffered heavy losses than a Half-Saint of the Liu Family arrived.

"That's great, the Half-Saint Old Ancestor is here to save us!"

"We're saved now!"

The remaining Blood Refinement Divine Army rejoiced upon seeing their Half-Saint rushing over.

"Hmph!"

"Die for this Old Man!"

How could Wang Xuanming give them a chance at life? Terrifying Laws, like a heaven-shaking tidal wave, crashed down upon the remaining Blood Refinement Divine Army.

"No!!!"

"How dare you!"

"No!!!"

The remaining Blood Refinement Divine Army roared unwillingly.

The huge disparity of seeing hope one moment and then plunging into despair the next filled them with resentment before their deaths.

"How dare you!"

"Stop!"

Upon seeing this, the Half-Saint of the Liu Family roared repeatedly, but their response was the sight of each Blood Refinement Divine Army soldier being engulfed by terrifying Laws.

Although their voices arrived, they were merely transmitted through Divine Ability, and they themselves were still hundreds of millions of miles away, so they could do nothing.

"Hiss!"

"The Xu Family is not to be provoked!"

If not for witnessing it firsthand, who could have imagined that the Xu Family was so powerful, even a Saint Weapon was helpless against them.

Moreover, the Xu Family's methods were too ruthless; they even disregarded the Half-Saint of the Liu Family's warning.

"The Blood Refinement Divine Army is one of the Liu Family's five major legions, and now it's been annihilated like this. The Liu Family will definitely not let this go. How many years has it been since we were fortunate enough to witness a Half-Saint battle!"

As soon as these words were spoken, countless people were shocked and excited. Recording today's events would surely bring a windfall.

Taiji Hall!

[Ding! Annihilated the Blood Refinement Divine Army, rewarded with ten million family points, and one special gift package.]

"Special gift package? I wonder what good things I can get from it!"

"System, open!"

After a while, Xu Qing looked at the item in front of him with a puzzled expression. It was a strangely shaped altar, with various creatures, including the Human Race, carved upon it.

[Myriad Spirits Altar: A special Dao Weapon. By sacrificing the corpses of creatures, you can use the Myriad Spirits Altar to summon the Origin power of creatures that have died from ancient times to the present. It can be used to enhance the cultivation of the Host's clansmen and dependants!]

[Note: Creatures must not have been dead for long to maximize its effect; only Venerable Realm creatures or higher can be summoned; creatures whose cultivation is enhanced this way can no longer independently improve their cultivation.]

Xu Qing's Face immediately showed an expression of ecstasy. Wasn't this an alternative version of an identity card?

He immediately refined the Myriad Spirits Altar, and his Face lit up with joy again, because this time, summoning creatures with the Myriad Spirits Altar was much more cost-effective than buying identity cards.

Take Divine Venerable, for example: a Divine Venerable Perfection identity card costs 100 family points, while here, it only requires sacrificing one Divine Venerable Perfection corpse, or three Divine Venerable Late Stage, or six Divine Venerable Middle Stage, or nine Divine Venerable Early Stage corpses.

And sacrificing one hundred Divine Venerable Perfection corpses can grant an Early Stage Royal Sealing cultivation. It should be known that the price of an Early Stage Royal Sealing identity card is also one thousand contribution points.

Although there are requirements for corpses: Venerable Realm creatures within a thousand years of death, Profound Venerable within three thousand years, Heavenly Venerable within six thousand years, Divine Venerable within ten thousand years. Within these timeframes, the Venerable Realm creatures' bodies must be uncorrupted, and the power of Laws must still remain.

As for Royal Sealing creatures, within one hundred thousand years; Mystic Sovereign creatures, within three hundred thousand years; Heavenly Sovereign, within six hundred thousand years; Supreme God Emperor, within one million years... Compared to family points, creature corpses are much easier to find. For instance, in this case, the Blood Refinement Divine Army provided him with millions of corpses, didn't they?

Uh... wait!

Xu Qing thought of something and quickly sent a message to Wang Changfeng and the other.

After receiving Xu Qing's order, Wang Changfeng looked at the tens of thousands of corpses on the battlefield and rubbed his nose.

Xu Qing was heartbroken when he received the news; he had even blasted the Blood Refining Marquis, a Supreme God Emperor, into a bloody mist.

However, it was good that there were over one hundred sixty thousand Blood Refinement Divine Army corpses remaining this time, including over one thousand three hundred Royal Sealing, over five hundred Mystic Sovereign, over two hundred Heavenly Sovereign, over forty Supreme God Emperor, and the rest were all Divine Venerable.

There were just ninety thousand vacant spots in the Star Guardian, which could now be filled. The remaining Royal Sealing cultivations could be given to the best of the original ten thousand Star Guardian members, who would serve as officers of various ranks for the ninety thousand Star Guardian.

Of course, Hai Dagui would handle these matters, and what he needed to do was bring these corpses back.

Moreover, it seemed that more people from the Liu Family were coming to offer their heads.

Xu Qing stroked his chin. In the heaven monitoring mirror, several terrifying auras were breaking through layers of the Void Realm, rapidly heading towards the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Wang Changfeng waved his hand, collecting all the Blood Refinement Divine Army corpses, as well as various warships and weapons.

It could be said that he was extremely thorough, which sent shivers down the spines of many Martial Artists.

However, they dared not say anything, as such things were all too common in the Martial Dao Realm.

From the King Realm onwards, living beings were like a great medicine. Many Martial Artists, throughout their journey, had refined the Primordial Spirit and Physical Body of others to enhance their own cultivation.

Some Martial Artists would even use others' corpses to refine into corpse puppets. Therefore, when the Xu Family took these corpses, although they felt disgusted, they did not accuse the other party of Demonic Path behavior.

The Martial Dao Realm was inherently a man-eat-man world, and some on the Righteous Path, while claiming righteousness, acted more ruthlessly than those on the Demonic Path and evil sects.

However, this time, the Xu Family had completely offended the Liu Family. As a Saint Family, the Liu Family would never allow its status to be challenged.

"Tsk tsk, the Liu Family is one of the members of the Zhengyuan Holy Palace. I'm afraid the other families won't stand idly by!"

Upon hearing this, the Martial Artists remembered the colossal Zhengyuan Holy Palace.

"That's not necessarily true. I heard there are internal conflicts within the Zhengyuan Holy Palace; the Yan Family and the Qi Family are at odds with the Liu Family. However, the Sheng Family, as the Palace Lord's lineage, will definitely help to maintain the Holy Palace's prestige," an informed person said.

"Indeed! However, all of this depends on whether the Xu Family has a Saint. If the Xu Family doesn't have a Saint, the Sheng Family won't intervene. After all, the Liu Family itself has a Saint, and for the sake of Face, they wouldn't ask others for help."

The powerful individuals nodded in agreement.

At this moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Above the sky tens of millions of miles away, five terrifying and vast figures, like gods, emerged from the Void Realm. Each one carried Saintly might, shaking heaven and earth.

The powerful individuals' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly looked up.

"Five Half-Saints!!!"

"The Xu Family's Half-Saints are in danger!"

"Go! If you don't want to die, get far away!"

Everyone looked horrified and fled into the distant Void Realm. They needed to stay far away from a Half-Saint battle, otherwise, like just now, they wouldn't even know how they died.

At this moment, an aura of killing intent permeated the region for tens of millions of miles.

"Xu Family!"

"Not only did you kill my Liu Family's clansmen, but today you also slaughtered my Liu Family's million Blood Refinement Divine Army. If you don't give an explanation, even if your Xu Family has a Half-Saint, you will be annihilated today!"

Among the five Half-Saints of the Liu Family, the Half-Saint in the center stepped out. His entire body was enveloped in rolling divine light, making his appearance unclear.

But his words were extremely cold, as if from Hell, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

Most importantly, his cultivation had reached the Peak Half-Saint Realm, and even Wang Changfeng and the other felt the pressure.
