329: Lowly bloodline? Brothers and sisters of destiny!
The place where Kong Wudao was located was actually a special Forbidden Ground in the Extraterritorial Land.
For countless eras.
Many factions in the Extraterritorial Land would, according to a certain special custom, temporarily bury and Seal the deceased powerhouses within their clans, or the Supreme Prodigies who had fallen into slumber, inside it.
The Burial Ground was also shrouded year-round by some terrifying and eerie Law, and it also involved a great deal of Karma.
Therefore, unless they possessed special means, the surrounding Extraterritorial creatures dared not approach this place at all.
Millions of miles away from the Burial Ground, mountains stood, and fertile fields stretched for thousands of miles.
Countless small tribes of the Extraterritorial Land lived here.
Judging from their appearance, apart from their slightly dark skin and being somewhat gaunt due to a lack of sufficient nutrition year-round, these creatures were basically no different from the Human Race Cultivators of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.
Such small tribes were known as the Aka People.
Although the most basic Law of every world was that the weak are prey to the strong and strength is paramount, in the Extraterritorial Land, Bloodline was even more important.
The nobility of one's Bloodline determined an extremely rigid hierarchy of status and Rank.
After all, the Law of the Extraterritorial Land was unique; the purer the Bloodline, the more power of heaven and earth one could borrow.
Among them, those with the purest and most noble Bloodline were known as the Origin God Clan.
It was rumored that the Origin God Clan was the first race born in the entire Extraterritorial Land.
Their Legacy spanned countless eras, making it difficult to even trace their origins.
However, the number of the Origin God Clan was extremely small, roughly only nine.
Their current status and position were roughly similar to the Sixteen Forbidden Zones of The Glorious Era of the Heavens.
Therefore, the Nine Great Origin God Clans were also known as the nine Forbidden Grounds of the Extraterritorial Land.
From the top of the pyramid downwards, there were the Undying Emperor Clans, Quasi-Emperor Clans, Royal Clans, ordinary Extraterritorial races, and slave races.
The Aka People were at the very bottom of the Extraterritorial Land, a slave race driven and used at will by other creatures.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, several loud, muffled sounds erupted from within the village of the Aka People.
At this moment, several villagers lay scattered in the center of the village, covered in blood, or having suffered heavy injuries, wailing in pain.
"My Lords! We clearly already handed over the tribute required for this year yesterday!"
"I beg you, my Lords, please show mercy! There are truly no more candidates of the right age in our village!"
"I beg you, my Lords, to grant us a few more months!"
At this moment, an old man with a hunched figure, wearing tattered cotton clothes, was kowtowing incessantly to several strange-looking creatures, as if pleading for them to spare the people of their village.
Bang! However, the leading strange creature didn't even blink. With one kick, he sent the village chief of the Aka People flying, his body slamming heavily against a giant rock in the distance, spitting out a mouthful of blood, unable to stand up again.
"Hmph! A mere slave race, and you dare to negotiate with me?"
"You Aka People are as weak as ants, and it is only under the King's protection that you are able to live and work in peace here."
"Being able to become nutrients for the King to step onto higher ground is a blessing you have cultivated for eight lifetimes; do not be ungrateful!"
Upon hearing these words, the surrounding villagers of the Aka People immediately turned pale, their bodies trembling like chaff.
In an inconspicuous corner, a boy of about nine years old was clenching his fists, his eyes red as he stared at those few strange-looking creatures.
"To hell with the blessing cultivated for eight lifetimes!"
All this time, they, the Aka People, were like livestock kept in a pen!
That so-called King, once he had a need, their entire clan would have to become his blood food, becoming nutrients for him to further improve his strength!
"Brother Jiang Yu..." "I miss Mother so much... Where did Mother go?"
Beside the nine-year-old boy, a thin, frail girl with braided hair, similar in age to him, asked tremblingly.
It was unknown if it was fear of the situation before her, or worry for her parents. Tears were constantly welling up in the girl's eyes, as if she would wail at any moment.
"Be good, Yu'er... Mother and the others just went to a very far place..."
The boy forced a strained smile on his lips, reaching out to stroke his little sister's head to comfort her.
His little sister might not know, but he knew it clearly.
Their mother would never come back, because their mother was the previous round of... blood food offered to the King by their village!
While feeling grief and indignation in his heart, deep within Jiang Yu's eyes, there was even more extreme killing intent and anger.
Not just towards these strange creatures, but also towards the villagers of their village!
Long ago, he had often heard his mother mention that because of the family's hardship, in order to ensure that the three of them could live better, their father had willingly gone to his death, becoming the first batch of blood food sacrificed to the King by their village.
Clearly, everyone in the village had promised to treat the three of them well and to give them the most generous treatment in terms of daily supplies.
But what was the result? Because the family had lost their father, who had the strongest cultivation and was their pillar of support, those ungrateful wretches in the village all wanted to come and bully them!
They even often bullied their mother right in front of the two siblings!
The three of them had endured such humiliation and hardship, struggling to raise them until now!
But even though their mother had retreated to this point, those ungrateful villagers did not let her go! Instead, they turned to sacrifice his mother as the new round of blood food!
"Damn it..." "You guys all deserve to die!"
Jiang Yu roared and bellowed in his heart, his hands hanging at his sides clenching and unclenching repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Kong Wudao, who was traveling rapidly through the air, suddenly heard the System's broadcast in his ears.
[Ding! Two forces of Destiny fluctuation detected. They have been marked for the Master. Please take a look, Master.]
Kong Wudao raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed his luck was not bad today. Not only had he confirmed that Destiny's Chosen also existed in the Extraterritorial Land, but he had encountered two at once.
He just didn't know if these Destiny's Chosen of the Extraterritorial Land had any special characteristics different from the Destiny's Chosen of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.
While pondering, Kong Wudao's movements were not slow at all; he immediately changed direction and headed towards the village where the Aka People were located.
