780: Chapter 693 Sacrifice 780: Chapter 693 Sacrifice What does it an to go from the wolf’s den into the tiger’s den?
At this very mont, Yue Huangquan and his companions are the perfect example, and what they’ve encountered is a massive pack of ferocious and starving wolves.
This Fallen Tomb was originally an outpost in the ancient war of Ancient Tis.
After the war ended, this place beca an isolated space, filled everywhere with the skeletons and souls of mighty warriors from the war.
Except for those whose souls were shattered and bodies destroyed in the war, the remains and spirits of almost everyone who fought in the battle were trapped in this space, unable to move on or leave.
Hence, as ti passed and through so deliberate arrangents, the Fallen Tomb turned into what it is now, inhabited by imnsely powerful wandering spirits and Soul Beasts.
What Yue Huangquan and his team stumbled upon was rely the tip of the iceberg.
Before the war of Ancient Tis, this part of the universe was unhard, and at that ti, reaching the level of Heavenly Venerates wasn’t so unattainable, although they weren’t exactly omnipresent.
It could be said that anyone who could participate in the ancient war was at least of the Domain Lord Level, the main force, while those at the Heavenly Venerate Realm were the elite forces.
Among the Heavenly Venerates who took part in the entire ancient war, there were no fewer than seventy to eighty thousand, and there was no lack of Domain Lord Level warriors like the Storm Clan Leader, Bao Tianfeng, at the peak of the Heavenly Venerates.
Therefore, the number of remnant souls of the Heavenly Venerate Realm that were left in the Fallen Tomb numbered in the tens of thousands.
These remnant souls were collected, nurtured, and rged through special ans to beco the imnsely powerful Soul Beasts.
As soon as Chaos Spiritless spoke, everyone also beca aware of the even larger group of Soul Beasts in the distance and were horrified.
Outside, each of them was a significant figure who could summon wind and rain with a wave of their hand, where a single decision of theirs could an life or death for countless people.
However, here, they were no different from ordinary people, facing the threat of life and death, their fa and status worthless.
They all had to give their all to survive, or else they would remain here forever, either as a wandering spirit or devoured by those Soul Beasts.
Naturally, this was an outco nobody wanted.
So everyone, including Xiao Heyue and Yue Huangquan, imdiately turned and ran without hesitation.
Although they had said that relentless fleeing might make them prey for Myriad Demons and eradication, if they didn’t flee, they’d all die here before long.
Given the choice between dying later or dying imdiately, it is likely that everyone would choose the forr.
But just as everyone was retreating in a panic, the Fire Phoenix, an incarnation of the Fla God, after retracting the fiery wings that had enclosed everyone, did not flee with them.
Instead, it lowered its head with its hands on its chin, seemingly pondering sothing, while the flas on its body kept pulsating.
The anomaly of the Fla God was quickly noticed, with the Rogue Heart Sword Hero being the first to do so.
He was startled to see the Fla God not running, thinking it had been injured, but when he turned around, he saw that the flas on the Fla God’s body had ford a special pattern, a Phoenix reborn from flas, made entirely of fire.
When the Rogue Heart Sword Hero recognized the pattern, he was shocked and imdiately stopped moving to shout back, “Brother Fla God, no, you must not do this!
Run now, there’s still ti.
Brother Fla God!”
The nearly frenzied shouts of the Rogue Heart Sword Hero imdiately caught everyone’s attention.
Soon after, Hei Kui’s expression changed as well; he, too, stopped in his tracks and called out to the Fla God with a dire voice.
However, the Fla God remained unmoved by the calls of the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui, as if he heard them not.
Above him, the Phoenix reborn from the flas beca even more lifelike.
“What’s happened to the Sword Hero?
Is sothing wrong with the Fla God?
Quick, follow back to save him!” Yue Huangquan, seeing that the Fla God had not fled, was also startled and wanted to turn back to rescue him.
But the Rogue Heart Sword Hero suddenly stopped Yue Huangquan with his hand, speaking in a deeply lancholic tone, “No need, it’s no use.
Let’s go, just go, leave him be!”
“How can we abandon him?
Those Soul Beasts are about to rush out.
If we don’t save him, he will surely die.
Sword Hero, when did you beco so afraid of death?” The Fla God wanted to argue but couldn’t say anything, just holding onto Yue Huangquan tightly and dragging him along as they continued to flee.
At that mont, Hei Kui also took hold of Yue Huangquan from the other side, whispering sothing in his ear.
Yue Huangquan’s face then flashed with a hint of sorrow and heartache.
Nevertheless, he eventually nodded, pulled away from the grip of the Sword Hero and Hei Kui, and quickened his pace to leave.
It was at this ti that a voice suddenly resounded in everyone’s ears, “I, the Fla God, always keep my word.
I said I would handle these Soul Beasts, and I certainly will take care of them.
You all just go on without worry.
With , the Fla God here, you brothers need not lift a finger!”
This voice was transmitted directly into everyone’s minds in a special way.
As the voice faded, tears filled the eyes of the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui, while the rest displayed clenched fists, yet no one stopped their retreat.
They knew that the Fla God intended to sacrifice himself to buy them ti.
Who could have imagined that as soon as the Fallen Tomb opened, it would co to a point where soone needed to make a heroic sacrifice to buy ti for others?
If it was like this now, what about later?
Could they really make it back?
At this mont, everyone had their doubts.
Although the Rogue Heart Sword Hero was in trendous pain, he still held back his tears.
In this cruel world, there wasn’t even ti to grieve.
If you truly let yourself be consud by sorrow, you’d soon beco the subject of soone else’s mourning.
Glancing back one last ti at the fla-ford pattern, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero couldn’t help but recall when he, the Fla God, Hei Kui, and the rest first reached that world of yellow sands, where they initially believed it to be a deserted world.
Yet, unexpectedly, they discovered an ancient city, and while exploring it, they found hundreds of living puppet corpses underground in the city, indistinguishable from real people except for lacking their own consciousness.
Fla God unknowingly triggered a chanism while blocking the water, causing over a hundred living puppets to suddenly co to life.
At that mont, the three discovered that all these living puppets possessed the strength of the half-step Heavenly Venerate realm, and they fought with a frenzy that imdiately plunged the trio into a perilous situation.
Just then, a crimson Tongtian pillar of fire erupted from Fla God’s body, piercing through the ceiling above.
Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui were then wrapped in two strands of fla and ejected from the basent.
As they were sent out, the two glimpsed the phoenix pattern reborn from the fire.
Later on, Fla God did eliminate all the puppets, and after Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui found Fla God, he eventually told them that the pattern was the totem of the Storm Clan, symbolizing the readiness to sacrifice one’s life for a person or a cause.
At that ti, Fla God had been prepared to sacrifice himself to allow Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui to escape, since he had been the one to activate the puppets.
But to his surprise, the living puppets, despite their formidable appearance, were all defeated by him.
Thus, seeing the pattern once again, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui understood all too well that Fla God was once again planning to sacrifice himself to halt the Soul Beasts, simply because he had declared that he would handle them.
Sotis Fla God could be childish and prone to mischief, but deep down, he still bore the pride of the Storm Clan, a man of his word, valuing promises above all else.
Therefore, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui did not try to stop him; instead, they fled with all their might.
They could not let Fla God’s sacrifice be in vain.
Fla God did not break his word.
As countless Soul Beasts surged forth, he turned into a ten-thousand-ter Fire Phoenix once more, truly holding back all the Soul Beasts with his own strength.
It astonished everyone; no one knew how Fla God managed to hold back so many Soul Beasts on his own, among which were even Heavenly Venerate’s Peak level beasts.
Although they could not figure out how Fla God accomplished this feat, they successfully escaped without any further pursuit from the Soul Beasts.
When they stopped in a concealed spot, everyone was still shaken.
The Fallen Tomb proved to be exceedingly dangerous, with even the top-tier powerhouses from the Divine Kingdom being chased like stray dogs.
After resting for a short while, everyone gradually recovered.
They waited approximately fifteen more minutes, and since no Soul Beasts followed, they knew that Fla God had indeed succeeded in holding back the nearly thousand Soul Beasts.
“I need to go back and check on Brother Fla God, although it is likely that he is in a dire situation,” Rogue Heart Sword Hero said, looking at Hei Kui.
Among those present, probably only Rogue Heart Sword Hero had the deepest feelings for Fla God; they had fought side by side for their lives in the Patrolling Celestial World.
Hei Kui didn’t say much, rely nodding in agreent.
Yue Huangquan thought for a mont and said, “We definitely need to go back and check, but not everyone can go.
If we are short of people for our next plan, it won’t work.
So, you and Hei Kui take a detour to go back.
If Fla God is still alive, try to find a safe place to heal him.
If the worst has happened, make sure to bring his body back.
I ca in with a certain number of people, and I will leave with that sa number!” Just now, Rogue Heart Sword Hero had explained to Yue Huangquan the aning of Fla God’s pattern, and everyone was aware that Fla God had sacrificed himself.
Rogue Heart Sword Hero nodded and, without further hesitation, entrusted his Heavenly Patrol Order to Yue Huangquan and then carefully surveyed the surroundings with Hei Kui before taking a detour back.
anwhile, the expressions on the faces of the remaining few did not look good.
It’s never pleasant to be saved in such a way.
“Alright, now is not the ti for sorrow.
Collect your emotions; what cos next is the main event,” he said.
With that, Yue Huangquan took out his own Heavenly Patrol Order.
Together with Star Huangquan’s, there were four in total.
“Alright, I’ll leave the Heavenly Patrol Orders here.
Let’s go.
This ti we’ll also give them a mantis stalking the cicada scenario!
