400: Chapter 410 Divine Sacrifice! The Echoes of the Ancient Divine Mountain!

The Primordial God Mountain is the supreme Holy Land of the Monster Realm. This towering sacred mountain rises high into the clouds, like a massive pillar supporting the heavens, thrusting directly into the firmament of the Great Thousand Star Domain.

It is not only shrouded in Immortal Qi year-round, but also permeated with an ancient and heavy pressure of rules, making all members of the Yao Race who set foot here unable to help but prostrate themselves in worship.

However, deep within the sacred mountain, inside the Azure Dragon Divine Temple that never sees the sun, the atmosphere exudes an eerie, deathly silence.

Sitting atop the throne in the great hall is a majestic figure.

The current sole Dominator of the Monster Realm, the Azure Dragon Emperor.

He wears a cyan imperial robe, his face is stern, and his eyes are like deep, cold pools.

If one were to observe closely, they would discover that at the edge of his vast and pure Azure Dragon imperial Qi, there is a faint, almost imperceptible wisp of black mist churning.

That wisp of black Qi is cold and evil, completely out of place with this sacred Primordial God Mountain.

The Azure Dragon Emperor closes his eyes slightly and takes a deep breath, as if enjoying the nourishment of some kind of power.

A moment later, he slowly opens his eyes and draws the faint, wispy black mist surrounding him completely into his body.

He glances indifferently at the attendant of the sacred mountain kneeling respectfully below, his voice echoing through the great hall.

"Have the targets sent by the various clans for the Divine Sacrifice all arrived?"

"Reporting to the Divine Venerable, the over one thousand sacrificial offerings from the seventy-two tribes of the Monster Realm have all been brought and are waiting outside the Sacrificial Temple." The attendant buries his head extremely low and replies respectfully.

"Very good."

The corners of the Azure Dragon Emperor's mouth curl into a meaningful arc, the smile appearing particularly chilling in the dim great hall.

"Transmit my imperial decree: the Divine Sacrifice shall commence immediately."

"This group of lowly Yao Race members should be grateful that I have given them this opportunity for Rebirth. Being able to become a part of my great grand plan is a blessing they have cultivated over several lifetimes!"

...

Outside the Sacrificial Temple on the waist of the Primordial God Mountain.

Over a thousand young men and women from various tribes of the Monster Realm are standing densely packed on the white marble plaza, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The highest cultivation among them is only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, while the lowest is only at the Guixu Realm.

At this moment, under the cold gaze of over a hundred Saint guards of the Primordial God Mountain, everyone's eyes are filled with despair and fear.

They have all heard that once they enter here, they cannot return alive, so those selected are all Yao Race members from families with many offspring who are not favored.

In the crowd, Bai Qiuqiu, dressed in white, appears exceptionally frail.

She does not cry or tremble like the Yao Race members around her; she just stands quietly, her hands subconsciously protecting her slightly protruding abdomen.

Feeling the little life growing in her womb seemingly sensing its mother's anxiety and moving gently, Bai Qiuqiu's eyes moisten once again.

"Don't be afraid, baby..."

She murmurs silently in her heart, her eyes gradually becoming firm and resolute: "Mother is sorry, I shouldn't have brought you to this dangerous place. But rest assured, no matter what happens, even if I have to risk my life, Mother will do everything possible to protect you..."

"Silence!"

A stern, cold shout interrupts everyone's wailing.

The great doors of the temple slowly open with a boom, and an ancient and weathered aura rushes towards them.

"Enter the hall in turn, and take your seats!"

Driven by the spears of the sacred mountain guards, the over one thousand sacrificial offerings walk into this vast and grand Sacrificial Temple like walking corpses.

On the floor of the great hall is carved an incomparably huge and complex ancient Formation.

At every node of the Formation, a prayer mat is placed.

Following the instructions, Bai Qiuqiu takes a seat in a secluded corner.

As soon as she sits down, she keenly senses a subtle suction force coming from beneath the prayer mat, as if an invisible chain has instantly locked her Divine Soul, rendering her unable to move.

"What is going on?!" terrified cries come from the crowd.

Just as everyone tries to struggle.

"Boom!"

On the throne at the end of the great hall, a cyan beam of light descends from the sky!

The projection Clone of the Azure Dragon Emperor, carrying vast imperial might, descends above the crowd.

The Emperor's might presses down, and all over a thousand sacrificial offerings in the hall are instantly pinned, unable to move, making even breathing extremely difficult.

"You all, raise your heads."

The Azure Dragon Emperor looks down at the densely packed Yao Race members below, and in his originally sacred and stern gaze, a trace of eerie madness suddenly flickers.

As his words fall, the originally pure cyan imperial Qi surrounding him begins to boil violently!

Wisps of black Devilish Qi, filled with extreme malice, escape from his body like living creatures, spreading wildly along the patterns of the Formation in the great hall towards the over one thousand prayer mats!

"This... what is this power?!"

"This is not Divine Power! What kind of hellish thing is this?!"

Desperate screams rise and fall within the great hall.

"Ignorant ants."

The Azure Dragon Emperor, bathed in the eerie half-cyan, half-black aura, spreads his arms, his voice filled with a morbid fanaticism: "This is the eternal power that transcends the Heavenly Dao and reigns above the rules!"

"Open your minds and accept this power!"

"I shall bestow upon you true eternal life! You will shed your lowly Yao Race bodies, become my most loyal subjects, and become the new Dominators of the Great Thousand Star Domain!"

The black Devilish Qi follows the prayer mats and begins to crazily bore into the bodies of the sacrificial offerings.

When many of the Yao Race members touch this black Qi, their eyes lose focus, and the whites of their eyes begin to be swallowed bit by bit by a deep black.

Bai Qiuqiu desperately urges the Heavenly Immortal Realm magic power within her body, resisting with all her might the evil black Qi attempting to bore into her.

"No... don't touch my child..."

She looks in despair at the Emperor on the throne who has been completely enveloped by the black Qi.

At this moment, she finally understands that this so-called Divine Sacrifice... is simply an evil, one-sided assimilation!

The Primordial God Mountain has long since changed!

Sensing that its mother is in danger, the fetus in Bai Qiuqiu's womb immediately releases a mysterious power, isolating the Devilish Qi outside.

"Baby!!!" Bai Qiuqiu opens her eyes, looking at her abdomen in disbelief.

Just as the projection of the Azure Dragon Emperor looks suspiciously towards Bai Qiuqiu's side...

"Boom—!!!"

A terrifying roar comes crashing from the outer perimeter of the Primordial God Mountain!

The entire Sacrificial Temple shakes violently under this blow!

The Azure Dragon Emperor turns his head abruptly, his gaze piercing through the Void Realm, looking towards the direction of the mountain gate.

"Report—!!!"

A guard scrambles into the great hall, his voice urgent:

"Divine Venerable! It's bad!"

"The mountain gate... the mountain gate of the Primordial God Mountain has been blasted to pieces by someone with a spear!!!"
