355: Blood Sacrifice in Fengzhou

Eastern Border Region, the entire sea domain, Feng Province City!

Feng Province City is the most important city in the entire sea domain. It is close to the sea, and more than half of the Heaven And Earth Treasure produced in the entire sea domain flows out from this place.

Because of this, many powerhouses from the entire sea domain gathered here. Here, one could even see powerful Kings that were difficult to encounter on ordinary days.

As night fell, dark clouds gathered above Feng Province City, as if a storm was brewing.

A dark figure silently swept past the city wall. The Cultivator guarding the city only felt a cold gust of wind on his face, but he didn't discover anything.

Soon, this dark figure arrived at the tallest Star-Gazing Platform in the city. His black robe flapped in the wind, and a blood-colored Jade Slip was clasped between his pale fingers.

“Hehehe, the time has come…”

He muttered in a low voice, his voice hoarse like sandpaper rubbing together.

With a flick of his finger, the Jade Slip transformed into a streak of blood-red light and disappeared into the ground. In an instant, the ground of the entire Feng Province City lit up with dense blood-red patterns. These patterns squirmed like living creatures, rapidly spreading to every corner of the city.

“Boom!”

Nine blood-red light pillars shot into the sky, intertwining into a giant net tens of thousands of feet high, covering Feng Province City.

In an instant, the city-guarding array that originally protected Feng Province City—the Nine-Layer Sea Suppressing Array—was instantly dyed blood-red. The originally azure light curtain instantly turned dark red, enveloping the entire city within it.

“Woo woo woo!”

“What’s going on?”

“The city-guarding array has a problem!”

“Not good! It’s a Demonic Path invasion!”

Loud horn blasts sounded, startling the Cultivators in the city. However, it was already too late. On the Star-Gazing Platform, the dark figure formed hand seals and chanted ancient, obscure incantations.

At the same time, his completely white pupils gradually turned blood-red, and a strange aura surged around his body. In front of him, an ancient domain gate, tens of thousands of feet tall, slowly opened, followed by a terrifying aura emanating from within.

“Roar!!!”

As an earth-shattering roar sounded, all living beings within tens of thousands of miles exploded into blood mist under this roar, then transformed into blood springs, surging into the ancient domain gate.

“Ho ho ho!”

Perhaps nourished by the fresh blood, a greedy sound of drinking blood came from within the domain gate. Immediately after, a pair of scarlet eyes cast their gaze from the domain gate, glanced at the dark figure on the Star-Gazing Platform, and then swept their gaze towards the panicked Feng Province City.

The next moment, the domain gate trembled, then began to boil. The terrifying power caused the entire Feng Province City to start shaking violently, and the ground cracked into countless fissures.

“Ah!”

Screams of agony rose and fell. All living beings below the Emperor Realm in the city instantly turned into a puddle of blood under this terrifying aura.

And those Emperor Realm beings all sacrificed their Emperor Weapons to resist, only to find that the circulation of their Inner Heaven and Earth was sluggish, and they couldn’t even fly. All of this came from the great array in the sky.

The dark figure stood on the Star-Gazing Platform, looking down at the city that was about to be destroyed, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

“It’s useless. Since you’ve been chosen as blood food, just calmly accept your fated destiny!”

“Roar!!!”

Another deafening roar came from within the domain gate. This time, the impact was even more widespread. Within hundreds of thousands of miles, whether ordinary beings or Emperor Realm Cultivators, their bodies were shattered alive.

Only beings above Transcendent managed to escape this roar.

Above Feng Province City, nearly a hundred Kings floated, their gazes angrily directed at the domain gate.

“Damn it! It’s a King-level demonic creature!”

“Killing my clansmen, destroying my Dao lineage, you seek death!”

A King roared, angrily unleashing an attack. A terrifying golden radiance blasted towards the domain gate.

“Boom!”

A gigantic blood-red demonic claw stretched out from the domain gate. Each knuckle was as massive as a mountain, instantly engulfing the attack.

“What?”

The Kings were shocked. The King who had just attacked was a Dao Severing Late Stage expert, a top-tier existence among them.

Following that were the second, third… a total of six blood-red demonic claws tore open the domain gate. The next moment, a blood-red demonic creature, tens of thousands of feet tall, slowly stepped out from the ancient domain gate.

Its body was composed of countless twisted human faces, each face wailing in pain.

The demonic creature’s eyes were two blood moons, emitting a captivating red light. It opened its massive mouth, and countless tentacle-like tongues stretched out, coiling around the fleeing Cultivators and dragging them into its belly.

“What kind of monster is this?!”

“Not good! Flee! This demonic creature is Dao Severing Perfection, we are no match for it!”

Upon seeing the demonic creature, these Kings were horrified. The terrifying aura emanating from the demonic creature made them lose all desire to fight.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be wood to burn. As long as they could survive, the long years would still allow them to build new forces.

But where could they escape to? The original city-guarding array, after being empowered by that blood-red light, was no longer something they could break through. All that awaited them was to be devoured by the demonic creature.

“Ah! Save me! Save me…”

“After countless tribulations and avoiding myriad disasters, I finally achieved Transcendent, but in the end, I became sustenance for a demonic creature. I am unwilling!!!”

“No!!!”

...The demonic creature rampaged, and all living beings that could move, including insects, ants, birds, and beasts, were completely slaughtered.

The dark figure stood on the Star-Gazing Platform, gazing indifferently at all this. Yesterday’s prosperous Feng Province City, except for the Star-Gazing Platform beneath his feet, had been reduced to ruins.

The immense blood Qi of billions of living beings gathered beneath his feet, forming a long blood-red river, continuously absorbed and refined by the demonic creature.

As time passed, the aura on the demonic creature gradually grew stronger, already exceeding the scope of Dao Severing Perfection.

“It’s still not enough… if I could get that item, why would I need such a clumsy method!”

Until he watched the demonic creature refine the last trace, the dark figure narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

“Let’s go!”

The dark figure lightly shouted, his arm, like a phantom, reached out towards the demonic creature.

In an instant, the demonic creature, like an enraged beast, let out a deafening roar.

“Roar!!!”

Its pair of blood-red eyes suddenly erupted with two streaks of scarlet light, like sharp arrows, directly attacking the dark figure.

The dark figure’s lips curled slightly upwards, revealing a hint of disdainful smile, as if mocking the demonic creature’s overestimation of its own abilities.

His aura instantly became incomparably sharp. His hand, originally like an eagle’s claw, quickly transformed into a fist, containing terrifying power of billions of tons, like a burning meteor, fiercely striking the demonic creature.

“Rumble rumble!”

The earth shook and trembled incessantly, as if the entire world was about to collapse under this single blow.

The Star-Gazing Platform beneath the dark figure’s feet finally could not withstand such immense power and instantly disintegrated.

And the already countless-cracked ground, like a shattered mirror, could no longer hold on and completely collapsed.

The demonic creature, accompanied by painful wails, was directly blasted deep into the ground by this earth-shattering blow.

However, the dark figure did not stop there.

His hand movements changed like flowing clouds and water, instantly manifesting a supreme giant hand that covered the sky and sun, carrying endless pressure, and reaching into the ground.

Before long, that giant hand forcibly pulled the demonic creature out from deep within the ground, then unhesitatingly threw the demonic creature into that mysterious domain gate.

After doing all this, his figure, like smoke, gradually dissipated until it completely vanished.

And with the departure of the dark figure, the great array that had once suppressed the demonic creature also reached the end of its lifespan, finally shattering into countless dazzling light and shadow, dissipating into the Void Realm like fireworks.

The ruined Feng Province City, after this catastrophe, welcomed its first dawn.

And with the intrusion of the first outsider, the news of Feng Province City spread like wildfire, immediately causing a huge uproar and shocking the entire Eastern Border Region.
