202: Those who commit fire sacrifices

Somewhere in the Great Wilderness.

The main force of the Tu Yang Tribe, migrating, paused and looked around cautiously.

The young and strong stood guard outside, clearly ready for battle at any moment.

Their path was intercepted by another Tribe.

The Iron Tooth Tribe!

At a glance, the members of the Iron Tooth Tribe were all lean and strong, and beside them were unknown birds with fierce eyes.

They were large and had been tamed.

In the distant sky, members of the Iron Tooth Tribe rode giant birds, observing the situation and deploying defenses in all directions.

At the forefront of the two teams were two figures, standing in mid-air, their bodies shimmering with brilliant golden light, illuminating the surroundings.

One of the figures had a single horn on its head, resembling a goat, and its four hooves trod in mid-air, the power of vows swirling beneath them like burning flames, constantly flickering.

This was Qi Shan, the Sacrificial Spirit of the Tu Yang Tribe.

At this moment, his aura was quite weak, and though enveloped by the power of vows, his age was hard to conceal, yet his body remained upright, standing in mid-air.

Marks of battle could still be seen on his body, indicating that he had just fought a battle.

Facing him was a giant eagle.

It resembled an eagle but seemed to possess an ancient bloodline, appearing as an exotic species.

Its eyes were fierce, and as it spread its wings, streams of light radiated, exuding an imposing aura.

This was the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit.

Now, his aura was lofty, his expression arrogant, and looking at Qi Shan, his voice was cold: "You are an old thing on the verge of death, why bother with one last struggle?"

"You seek a place for these humans to go, and my Iron Tooth Tribe is the perfect destination."

"With your Tribe joining us, and my Iron Tooth Tribe reorganizing the remnants of the Fei Xue Tribe, we can establish a kingdom in this region, elevating from Tribe to nation.

By then, the tribesmen you once protected will also have a better place to go."

Hearing the voice, Qi Shan's expression remained unchanged, the power of vows around him fluctuating, and he spoke: "You cannot."

"As long as I am not dead, I will complete the final step."

He looked at the other party: "My Tribe is already preparing to merge with the Si Huo Tribe.

Are you not afraid of incurring the wrath of the Si Huo Tribe by blocking the way here?"

"The Si Huo Tribe?"

As the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit spread his wings, a cold glint flashed: "Just a new Tribe formed by a gathering of dilapidated Tribes, can they even be considered?"

"That Si Huo Sacrificial Spirit might have some tricks, but if he doesn't block my path, then so be it.

If he dares to block my path, then I will annihilate the Si Huo Tribe and make him perish with it."

"Old thing."

"I'm giving you one last chance."

As he finished speaking, his aura was unleashed without reservation, and strong winds swirled around, filling the air with dust.

Responding to him.

Was the even more brilliant power of vows surrounding the Tu Yang Sacrificial Spirit.

In that instant, the power of vows surged around him, rapidly transforming.

The already massive body of the Tu Yang Sacrificial Spirit quickly expanded under the weaving of the power of vows.

Vow Golden Body!

The Golden Body maintained its original appearance, and after taking shape, a sense of divinity permeated it.

He stepped into mid-air and charged directly towards the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit.

"Stubborn old fool!"

Among the methods passed down through the power of vows, the Golden Body is the strongest combat technique and the final trump card.

The Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit spread his wings and met the charge head-on, also activating his Vow Golden Body.

Compared to Qi Shan, his Vow Golden Body was cyan-gold, exuding sharpness.

The two colossal figures illuminated the sky and collided fiercely in an instant.

Boom!

A earth-shattering roar of power resounded.

At the moment of impact, one of the Golden Bodies suddenly dimmed considerably, and its body retreated, gliding for a distance across the sky before finally stopping.

That was the Tu Yang Sacrificial Spirit.

As one of the propagators of the ancient covenant, he had a deep mastery of various vow power techniques in the past, and his own combat power was considerable.

But—

He was old after all.

Not only was he old, but he was also already nearing his end, on the verge of death.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a decisive choice to have the Tu Yang Tribe begin their migration immediately.

Only in this way could he provide one last protection.

The power of vows must ultimately be carried by oneself; when one is old and weak, the combat power exerted is undoubtedly different.

As his body flew backward, on the ground, the tribesmen of the Tu Yang Tribe suddenly let out anxious cries of alarm.

At the forefront of the team were the high-ranking members of the Tu Yang Tribe, their expressions changing as Treasure Technique runes appeared, wanting to join the battle.

Before they could act, a stern shout rang out.

"Do not interfere!"

The speaker was Sheng Fang, the current leader of the Tu Yang Tribe.

His expression was extremely stern: "This level of battle is not something we can participate in."

"Behind us are the elders, young, women, and children of the Tribe.

Once a real fight breaks out—"

He did not say more.

But.

At this moment, in the four surrounding areas, what those Iron Tooth Tribe members, both in the sky and on the ground, would do was self-evident.

The scent of blood still clung to them.

This Tribe had just decisively defeated the Fei Xue Tribe, with whom they had been entangled for some time, and their morale was high.

"This is also the wish of Lord Sacrificial Spirit."

"He said not to interfere."

His expression was solemn, yet tinged with pain.

As he spoke, in the sky, the two colossal Golden Bodies had already collided once more.

In a world truly possessing the extraordinary, the time when one's own power is insufficient and one is helpless is perhaps the most painful.

At the very front of the Tu Yang Tribe's procession.

There was also a team from the Si Huo Tribe.

The leader was Ding Yang.

At this moment, his gaze was fervent, as if flames were burning in his eyes, watching the scene in the sky.

Just then, a faint tremor sounded from his small personal satchel.

The aftermath of the battle in mid-air obscured all other movements.

Ding Yang's expression remained unchanged.

He took out the disguised communicator, placed it to his ear, and listened intently.

With just a single word, his expression suddenly became serious.

The communicator was put away.

He looked at Sheng Fang, who was at the very front of the team, his face serious but with unconcealed worry in his eyes, and quickly said: "Sheng Fang, I received a message from the Tribe.

Our Lord Sacrificial Spirit received the news and is rapidly on his way."

As the words fell.

Sheng Yi and others all showed excited expressions.

At this moment, a tribesman who had never been to the Si Huo Tribe spoke softly: "This Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit is so powerful, your Lord Sacrificial Spirit, really..."

His voice trailed off.

He did not finish, but others around him also showed complex expressions.

Sheng Yi stood behind Sheng Fang, and at this moment, she swept her gaze, angrily shouting: "Do you not believe Lord Qi Shan's judgment?!"

"If you don't believe all this, why did you embark on this path, why didn't you stay in your homeland and wait for death!"

No one dared to respond.

In the sky, the battle continued.

One side was at its peak, the other nearing its end.

This was a battle with a predetermined outcome.

With each collision, the Tu Yang Sacrificial Spirit's Golden Body grew a shade dimmer, gradually diminishing, while the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit fought with increasing vigor!

And now.

As time passed, after another fierce clash, accompanying the massive figure of the Tu Yang Sacrificial Spirit flying backward, patterns like a spiderweb suddenly appeared on the Vow Golden Body, which was constructed based on his own being.

Those were... cracks.

The Golden Body was flawless.

When the Golden Body was no longer flawless, it meant that the Vow Golden Body had been breached!

As the spiderweb patterns emerged, and while flying backward, the Golden Body shattered with a crash, turning into scattered light.

This seemed to be the final straw that broke Qi Shan.

His body couldn't even maintain itself in mid-air and plummeted towards the ground.

"Lord Qi Shan!"

Along with anxious and worried cries, the dull thud of him hitting the ground resounded.

Qi Shan's body fell to the ground.

The people of the Tu Yang Tribe rushed to surround him in an instant.

In mid-air.

The Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit maintained his Golden Body, looking down at everything, and said coldly: "Stubborn old fool."

Hearing this, the Tu Yang tribesmen below looked up, their faces filled with indignation.

"Tu Yang Tribe."

His voice was cold, and just as he was about to continue speaking, he seemed to sense something, his gaze shifted, and he suddenly looked towards the far distance.

The Iron Tooth Tribe, due to the presence of his Sacrificial Spirit, had a special talent in bird training.

Throughout the entire region, their tribesmen rode fierce birds, conducting patrols.

This was also why they discovered the main force of the Tu Yang Tribe.

At this very moment.

At the edge of his vision, those giant birds, soaring high, arrogant and fierce, seemed to be acted upon by some irresistible force.

Without making any sound, without any resistance, they plummeted directly from mid-air as if being dropped into a pot!

As they fell, they had already passed out.

This unusual scene attracted everyone's attention.

The Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit's Golden Body fluctuated, and his gaze also turned towards the far distance at this moment.

And below.

Ding Yang's fiery gaze subsided.

He looked at the other Tu Yang tribesmen around him, and though not masked, he spoke with a confident tone.

"Our Lord Sacrificial Spirit."

"Has arrived!"

The moment his words fell.

In the distant sky, there was a slight fluctuation, and a colossal figure suddenly appeared, traversing through the clouds.

It was still distant when it entered the clouds, but when it emerged, the distance had already been closed again, its speed unimaginable.

The giant birds in the distance were still scattered, but closer, where more people rode giant birds to intercept the Tu Yang Tribe, they now began to plummet from the sky in silence.

The Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit's eagle face was utterly cold, and his Golden Body fluctuated continuously.

At this moment, he understood the reason for the giant birds' fall: an indescribable, terrifying pressure was coming from the distance, spreading across the heavens and earth.

This pressure contained a magnificent and supreme will, and vaguely, it was as if he saw a pair of eyes, suspended in the sky, looking down upon the mortal world.

The Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit even sensed that under this pressure, his bloodline trembled slightly, and he had to summon the power of his Golden Body to resist, otherwise, he too would be unable to maintain himself in the sky.

All eyes were on him.

The figure entered the clouds, and when it reappeared, it had already arrived at this place, circling in the sky, looking down.

Ancient myths and legends were too far removed from the present.

Many people among the Great Wilderness humans, let alone having seen one, had never even heard of a "dragon."

However, everyone from the three Tribes below knew clearly that the newcomer must be an extremely powerful existence.

"Is that your Lord Sacrificial Spirit?!"

Sheng Fang turned his head, his gaze suddenly fixed on Ding Yang.

Beside him, although Sheng Yi did not speak, the doubt in her eyes already showed everything.

Compared to the other people of the Tu Yang Tribe, she had truly been to the Si Huo Tribe and met the Si Huo Sacrificial Spirit!

Ding Yang's expression also showed some ripples, but the sense of intimacy maintained by the power of vows could not be faked, coupled with the information obtained from the communication, he remained calm and said: "Our Lord Sacrificial Spirit has broken through."

Above the sky.

The Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit's sharp gaze was fixed intently on the newcomer.

The tremor from deep within his bloodline made him realize the extraordinary nature of the visitor.

At this moment, his voice, slightly low, rang out: "Who are you?"

"This is the territory of my Iron Tooth Tribe.

Are you intending to be an enemy of my Iron Tooth Tribe by rashly intruding?"

The Abyssal Dragon circled in the air.

Inside the cockpit, Qin Chi's expression was calm, his gaze sweeping across the entire scene.

He did not answer, merely sweeping his gaze, focusing on Qi Shan below, who was surrounded by a group of Tu Yang tribesmen.

The Vow Clone could not display its own weakness; the aged state of this Tu Yang Sacrificial Spirit was even more severe than Qin Chi had imagined.

After a quick glance, Qin Chi already knew what had happened here.

He said nothing, the dragon's body turned, his gaze falling upon the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit.

A sensation like falling into an ice cellar spread around him.

The feathers on the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit's wings stood up.

He was about to say something more, but Qin Chi had no intention of giving him the chance.

Because Qin Chi realized that some of his concepts needed to change.

The Great Wilderness was different from the Federation.

Within the Federation, order existed.

In the Great Wilderness, countless years ago, such things had existed, but now, there was no "order" left.

To establish a firm foothold here, to truly be undisturbed by anything, one only needed to achieve one thing.

"Be strong enough."

"To create your own order."

The dragon's body swayed, and the Abyssal Dragon, under Qin Chi's control, soared away.

In that instant, a thunderous sound erupted from Qin Chi himself, his power fully unleashed, amplified by the power of the Cave Heaven, and the True Dragon Precious Technique activated.

On the dragon's body, the Spirit Ruins marvel faintly manifested.

His speed was incredibly fast, and in an instant, he arrived above the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit, extending a dragon claw and pressing it down!

With a single press.

Surging power was mobilized, gathering in the void to form the shape of a dragon claw, obscuring the sky and sun, pressing down on the giant eagle.

This was not a specific move, but merely a mastery of power.

When one's own power is strong enough, every action becomes a move.

The Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit was on high alert.

As the figure approached, the transmitted dragon's might intensified.

Bloody light rose in his eyes, and as his wings spread, the bloody light, like sharp blades, cut through the sky.

This was his innate ability.

He possessed the bloodline of an ancient exotic species, and after continuous enhancement through the power of vows, it naturally awakened.

The bloody stream of light counterattacked upwards, and in an instant, it clashed with the dragon claw.

As the power dissipated, the bloody stream of light vanished, but the dragon claw became even more astonishing.

The dragon's body descended, and in the next instant, its power condensed.

The True Dragon's Claw, obscuring the sky and sun, directly struck the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit's Golden Body.

Dragon Shakes Golden Body!

Upon contact, Qin Chi's expression became stern, and his power erupted like a falling mountain!

From the perspective of others.

The dragon was above, the eagle below, and the moment the dragon's claw pressed down on the Golden Body, an extremely terrifying power erupted.

The dragon pressed down on the eagle, plummeting rapidly.

Panic appeared in the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit's eyes.

He tried to break free but found himself completely unable to do so, because at the same time, power surged in, binding him.

The power contained within the dragon claw continuously erupted.

As the two massive figures plummeted downwards, the Golden Body surrounding the Tie Chi Sacrificial Spirit was rapidly eroded and continuously disintegrated.

Everything.

Happened in an instant.

Like falling meteors, the two figures' speed grew faster and faster, plummeting from the sky in the blink of an eye!

At the moment of impact with the ground.

Boom!

A truly earth-shattering, incomparable roar resounded.

Dust obscured all vision, and terrifying aftershocks erupted, sweeping in all directions.

Figures that were close by were directly swept up and sent flying into the distance.

On the ground, a giant, irregular deep pit appeared.

Before anyone could even check.

The next instant—

Another loud bang, emanating from the center.

Dazzling light of power, like a storm, no longer suppressed, completely erupted, and various spiritual energies emerged in the heavens and earth, creating a wondrous sight.

The previous sound was the impact with the ground.

This sound was the complete eruption of Qin Chi's power.

The heavens and earth seemed to fall silent.

Amidst the rolling dust, a colossal figure emerged from the dust, once again ascending to the sky.

He hovered in the sky, so imposing that people dared not look directly at him, for at the moment of direct gaze, a pressure would assault them.

That was true dragon's might.

At this moment.

The Abyssal Dragon stepped through the air.

Qin Chi's gaze swept across, and at this moment, he looked into the distance.

His voice rang out, amplified by spiritual energy and further enhanced by the Abyssal Dragon, truly resounding throughout the heavens and earth, echoing between them.

"Whoever dares to offend my Si Huo."
