The Second Offering
Zhong Yue's heart shuddered, he was immediately dawned on why he couldn't have injured Feng Wuji's Yuan Shen in the battle. Initially, he still thought it was Feng Wuji that has cultivated the Yuan Shen into a strong state capable of warding down his Solar Divine Saber.
But now, it appears to be evident that it was something inside of Feng Wuji's head that blocked his Solar Divine Saber instead of Feng Wuji himself!
Right when Zhong Yue was about to keep the head into his Yuan Shen secret realms and pursue after Feng Wuji, a surge of psyche has vaguely reached to him from the head.
"Is this the Zhong Shan Clan member? If you free me out of here, I can grant you inexhaustible fortunes and unparalleled strength; you can claim the Ancestral Star and be the supreme leader of all the races!"
Zhong Yue startled, This… it sounds like Xiao Mang grand ancestor's voice!
Meanwhile, the psyche was still alluring Zhong Yue, "Zhong Shan Clan member, have no worries. I am a man of my own words, I never go back on my promises! Xiao Wuji is nothing compared to me! As long as I appear, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race will still come back to me. Free me, and I will let you control my Xiao Mang Celestial Race, in addition to my help, your quest to conquer the Ancestral Star will be beyond guaranteed!"
Meanwhile, Feng Wuji has already disappeared on the horizon, he was nowhere to be seen anymore. Along the way, he has cast the [Skills of Diction] and placed down seals and traps, while covering his tracks.
Zhong Yue hesitated for a second, he stopped and turned his attention to the head.
So Xiao Mang grand ancestor is trapped inside Feng Wuji's psyche ocean? No wonder his Yuan Shen can stop my Solar Divine Saber, Xiao Mang grand ancestor is more than capable to do that… No, no, if a seal can trap Xiao Mang grand ancestor in Feng Wuji's psyche ocean, then the seal itself is naturally able to ward down my saber.
Rays flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes, he surged his arcane energy and psyche into Feng Wuji's psyche ocean in search of the seal that trapped Xiao Mang grand ancestor and blocked his divine sabers.
However, just as his psyche and arcane energy entered Feng Wuji's psyche ocean, they disappeared away like a cup of water poured into the ocean.
Zhong Yue's heart shuddered. At the instant he lost connection with his psyche and arcane energy, he managed to get a glimpse in Feng Wuji's psyche ocean.
The whole psyche ocean was filled with golden rays; a golden barrier of incredible defense enclosed it wholly and nothing could have pass through it.
The golden barrier was formed together by countless golden runes, it was these golden runes that trapped Xiao Mang grand ancestor within!
Seems like Xiao Mang grand ancestor is trapped in Feng Wuji's psyche ocean, and has his power siphoned by Feng Wuji. No wonder Feng Wuji's prowess has been boosted so much in just such a short period.
Zhong Yue was dawned, he thought, Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body is destroyed, but his spirit remained. Thus, he needed a new body to possess, and Feng Wuji was the chosen one. However, Feng Wuji somehow managed to trap him in the psyche ocean, and siphon his power away. Hmph, a race of dogs. But although Feng Wuji has acquired exuberant energy from siphoning Xiao Mang grand ancestor's power, his attainments and foundation aren't strong enough to breakthrough into deityhood. That explained why he has been actively waging war, and fought with the godly spirits.
Where after the godly spirits weren't able to bring any much pressure to him, he has came for Wei Xue god.
Among the gods, the God of Blood, Wei Xue God was the weakest.
Although Wei Xue God's cultivation technique was bizarre, and could hide into the void and sneak quietly around, Wei Xue God's attacks were the weakest. As long as he wasn't able to kill Feng Wuji in one strike, Feng Wuji would be able to take him as a whetstone to train himself.
Unfortunately, not only did his plan failed, he has even lost his main head—the head where Xiao Mang grand ancestor was sealed in.
Well then, didn't the second offerings come to me on itself?, Zhong Yue's eyes brightened up, he smiled and thought, The City of Nature is the first offering, and Xiao Mang grand ancestor is the second. I wonder how many energy has Feng Wuji taken away from this Deity Overlord godly spirit? Shouldn't be too much I suppose, Feng Wuji wouldn't be able to take in too much, most of the energy should still be stored in his psyche ocean.
"Zhong Shan Clan member, if you free me…", Xiao Mang grand ancestor's voice could still be vaguely heard, he still haven't give up yet.
What did Feng Wuji used to seal and suppress Xiao Mang grand ancestor in his psyche ocean? Where did he get such appalling instrument that even a Deity Overlord couldn't have broken through?
Zhong Yue pondered deeply while ignoring Xiao Mang grand ancestor's callings, Could it be from the innate god that taught him the [Skills of Diction]? Very possible! Only such a strong existence can provide such strong means.
Meanwhile, Xiao Mang grand ancestor was saying, "As long as you help me, I promise you the Xiao Mang Celestial Race will never eat the humans anymore. Not only that, I will also correlate with the other races to acknowledge the status of the human race to be the same as the other races. From now onward, you humans will never be our foods anymore…
Zhong Yue raised his hand and tucked Feng Wuji's head into his Yuan Shen secret realms without the slightest intention of replying.
"Foods? It has been a hundred years we were taken as foods? Or was it longer than that? Nevertheless, I will be sealing all of you soon, and let you all suffer what we humans have in the past!"
The young man mumbled softly, but his voice have dispersed in the winds before anyone else could hear him.
On the other hand, Feng Wuji have left a trail of [Skills of Diction] as he bolted away to the west. He strode through the snow mountain and reached to the ocean, then diverting to the north and entered the dark zone of the far north.
"Lost, I've lost still."
His mortal body was still brimmed with the exuberant life force of the Deity Overlord, his human head has been regenerated a long time ago. But his mood has darkened, the expressions on his face were blurry and he sighed a few moments later, "I have nurtured a tiger and invited calamity myself, a tiger I have been let loose in the woods. I shouldn't have enlighten him back in Swords Gate, I shouldn't have let him survive the Demon Ruins, there are too many things I shouldn't have let him be… He alone has ruined my plans more than I can count; more so, Xiao Mang grand ancestor has now fallen in his hands…"
He was mumbling deeply, his voice colder than the temperature around and his mood turned darker than black.
But it wasn't long before it all returned to normal, his face cleared from any emotions and his mind re-embraced peace.
"The Zhong Shan Clan member is truly incredible, I have underestimated him for too long, but there won't be a next time anymore! That head of mine, I will one day claim it back myself! The cultivation base I have is enough to breakthrough, all I need now is the experience and insights."
He opened the umbrella above him and blocked the fluttering snow. He strode out of the darkness while mumbling, "If I have grown afraid of him and hide in the dark, I will never be able to become a god anymore. I need to step into the light, to pull through the hardships and tribulations, to continue my training and challenge the godly spirits!"
...
Faraway, above the blood ocean.
A lion with nine heads has engaged in a blood battle with Wei Xue God. The blood ocean was billowing violently, and the God of Blood was looming around the space. At one moment, he was seen shuttling inside of the blood ocean, and in the next, he would have already been sneak attacking from the back.
No matter how hard the giant lion tried, he wasn't able to catch Wei Xue God at all.
Shi Buyi has been giving his best, he scrutinized every spot with his nine divine eyes that were trickling with blood from overuse.
The flaw in his [Monster God Ming King Art] was completely eradicated when Zhong Yue gave him Long Yue's eyes. Now, the flawless [Monster God Ming King Art] was even more domineering than ever!
The eyes given to him by Long Yue were the fruits Zhong Yue has nurtured for a long time. He has even cultivated the two divine eyes, the Sun and Moon Pupils with the Pure Yang Qi and Pure Yin Qi.
But despite so, Shi Buyi was still heavily wounded by Wei Xue God. He released a loud roar at the blood ocean, but not a single impression was left on Wei Xue God's body.
In turn, the blood ocean has formed a bloody burner that has trapped him within.
The blood ocean was like an evil creature, seeping into his mortal body and washed his blood essences out into the ocean; while Wei Xue God was sneaking around ambushing him from time to time, making the conditions even more severe to him.
If this goes on any further, Shi Buyi wouldn't know if he could still survive through it. At this rate, his cultivation base would wane to a point the blood ocean could drown him into one of the many corpses that died in it!
It'll all be settled if Zhong Yue is killed dead, but he just doesn't die!, Shi Buyi lamented in his heart. He wouldn't be able to escape if Zhong Yue was not dead. He was now much stronger than before, not even Wei Xue God could stop him if he truly wanted to leave, but he couldn't!
If he had left, and infuriated Zhong Yue because of that, Zhong Yue might have the insect magnate eaten his Yuan Shen away!
Hmm? That brat, he really did defeated Feng Wuji!, Shi Buyi saw Zhong Yue beheading Feng Wuji at the corner of his eye. He was surprised by Zhong Yue's prowess and overjoyed that Zhong Yue could finally come to aid him in the battle.
If the two of them worked together, they might just be able to defeat Wei Xue God; at the least, they wouldn't be defeated!
What is this brat doing?, Shi Buyi waited full of hope, but Zhong Yue never came. The Zhong Shan Clan young man was just standing there without any intentions of helping. He was piqued in anger and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat!
Wei Xue God abruptly appeared in the trajectory of the blood Shi Buyi spurted out, he opened his mouth and drank it away while smirking, "How delicious! You are just half a step away from deityhood, are you? I can taste the faint flavor of the monster divinity in your blood, I promise I will slowly savor you!"
Shi Buyi mustered his strength and pushed back against Wei Xue God, his nine heads looked over to Zhong Yue, but the young man never moved an inch at all. He spurted out another mouthful of blood which Wei Xue God drank away again.
He was already gravely wounded, and the fury within him now added even more internal injuries in him.
This brat! Is he planning to let me face with Wei Xue God alone until I breakthrough or die? Just how much confidence do you have in me? I am dying! Come and help quickly!
Shi Buyi roared and pressed forward, but even when his Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons have asundered Wei Xue God into pieces, the God of Blood would still rise within the blood ocean without any injuries.
It was true Shi Buyi did gain many attainments and insights in the battle, but Wei Xue God was just unkillable, he couldn't even inflict any injuries to the god!
How does one even fight with this unkillable god!
Shi Buyi's nine heads abruptly bellowed in unison, "Master, Great Master Zhong, I cannot hold any longer!"
Zhong Yue raised his head and looked over, he gave a warm bright smile and replied, "Don't get nervous yet, I am thinking of something important, hold on for a little longer."
A gust of wave slammed down on Shi Buyi's body and nearly tossed him off balance. Just when the giant lion was pressing against the surging wave, Wei Xue God sneaked in the waters and launched a heavy blow on his back, while disappearing right after.2
In the next second, Wei Xue God appeared to be underneath him, pulling him down into the blood ocean.
Shi Buyi was spurting out blood incessantly, he heavily stamped his feet and bolted up form the blood ocean. He shouted, "How long do you still want to take?"
Zhong Yue suddenly burst out in laughter, he took out the copper lamp and opened the lamp lid, "I have figured out the way to kill Wei Xue God already. Fine, since you've requested, I will help you in taking him down!"
