Contacting all the Ancient Kings again for the second ti, everyone had experience. Broadcasting live to the various major Sects and the interior of the Royal Court at the sa ti could also be considered a disguised way to reassure the people, saving everyone from being in a state of anxiety because there had been no news from the Ancient Kings.
Because the Royal Court's attack on the Bronze Sect failed and they suffered heavy losses in the rear, many variables were added to this report.
Su Chen wanted to make sure his Faith Essence wouldn't encounter any accidents, so he decided to observe the sacrifice.
Going out the door, on one side of the Main Building there was an additional large sacrificial altar. It was entirely crimson, and many staff mbers were busy, sweating profusely.
Surrounding it floated flas of various colors—black, red, crimson, or blue—countless in number.
Cinderless Fla's Profession Requirents had been weakened to only needing to create a brand new fla. Compared to the original nurous requirents, it naturally wasn't much.
But in reality, it also wasn't that simple. The Sect mbers inside were conducting preliminary experints.
"Star Seed Su..." The person in charge was still Luo Shuhang. Because of Su Chen, his status in the analysis departnt could be described as Rising Tide Lifts All Boats, having already reached the rank of Deputy Supervisor.
Seeing Su Chen co out, Luo Shuhang hurriedly ran over to explain: "The work of my colleagues will soon have results. It should be within these few days."
"No rush." Su Chen watched for a while, then left on his own. Riding a Flight Vehicle, he soon arrived at the Bronze Core. Along the way, he t various greetings and ca to a high-rise building near the central tower.
Pushing open the room and entering, there were already many people here—the masters of the various halls, as well as the helmsn of the major families. However, those Heads of Seats had already left the Bronze Core a while ago.
Seeing Su Chen arrive, everyone's gazes swept over in unison, and enthusiastic greetings sounded.
"Star Seed Su..."
"Junior Martial Uncle..."
Su Chen also responded along the way, arriving beside Qing Cang, "Senior Brother."
"You're here." Qing Cang said faintly, his attitude seeming sowhat cold.
Su Chen didn't mind either, asking on his own accord: "Right, the Divine Blood I asked you about two days ago..."
Qing Cang's cheek twitched, and he said in a bad mood: "Gone, it's gone!"
Hearing this, Su Chen rely let out an "Oh" and stopped speaking.
Instead, it was Qing Cang who looked over, explaining helplessly: "You've already retrieved nearly fifty drops back and forth, and you still want more?"
"Previously, to satisfy that Remnant Spirit's requirents, Master consecutively retrieved several hundred drops. The consumption for contacting the interior of the Flare Realm, even with the various Sects sharing the cost, still takes around twenty drops each ti."
The Bronze Sect's accumulation was actually very massive, but even it couldn't withstand this period's wanton squandering.
Su Chen nodded and didn't say anything more. Actually, taking advantage of his contributions a while ago, he had ruthlessly saved up a wave.
Divine Blood reserves, excluding what was consud to slt Qin Yun's corpse and forge Cinderless Fla, there were still around thirty-five drops right now.
Faith Essence was close to twenty portions, and the various Eldritch Essences were all over ten portions on average. He truly ruthlessly fleeced the Sect, so it was no wonder Qing Cang felt such heartache.
Seeing Su Chen not complaining, Qing Cang also breathed a slight sigh of relief. The words he said weren't false either. The massive Bronze Sect's ability to collect Resources was indeed terrifying, but the Resources consud were also unusually exaggerated.
As the two chatted, soone walked over wearing engineering clothes and reported: "Qing Shi, it has already been debugged."
"Begin." Qing Cang ordered.
"Yes." Receiving the instruction, the other party returned to the small room on the side. Soon, green fluorescent light lit up all around, flowing anderingly along the crevices of the tal walls. It also resembled countless glowing silk threads weaving into a web of light in the air.
It gradually outlined complex and intricate contours, spreading across the silver tal floor. It seed as if they had arrived beneath a Starry Sky. Surrounded by fully ard soldiers, but wearing distinctly different attire, it could be clearly seen that they belonged to different Factions.
Not far away was precisely the emaciated Prison-Suppressing King with an ugly, gloomy expression, as well as Chu Lingyuan and the other Sects' Morning Stars.
In front of them was a grayish-black three-tiered sacrificial altar. It was hexagonal, with every side embedded with continuously flashing profound blue light dots. The middle tier slightly drew inwards, and all four sides each opened a narrow slit, revealing a dark red halo. On top of it was a slender, white-gold short cane.
The scene outlined was simply like being there in person.
Su Chen couldn't help but stare blankly. He only felt a bloated sensation rise in his body, and his eyes lost focus, "At this ti..."
It was the Status Panel suddenly popping out at this mont—[Eternal Physique has thoroughly digested the Morning Star Embers. The body grows increasingly solid and heavy. Tripod Physique obtains partial enhancent—Overall obtains a thirty-fold Physical Stamina boost.]
[Obtained Weak Characteristic - Incinerate My Mortal Husk: Can directly consu the Doppelganger to obtain a three-fold boost equivalent to its total Physical Stamina.]
This... Su Chen's eyes lit up. His "Doppelganger" was essentially a backup body. Its total Physical Stamina was exactly the sa as his own, enjoying the base thirty-fold boost.
Adding another three tis would be ninety tis the base boost...
"Hiss~" After a brief estimation, Su Chen secretly gasped. If combined with the expected Passive Profession, perhaps he could achieve a balance between consumption and recovery in a short ti, approaching infinity?
Weak Characteristic... it seed to rely be an entry-level version. Different from the Characteristic brought by the True Brilliance Talent, it seed it could still continue to be strengthened? Five tis, ten tis, or even more?
Su Chen couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, but then he heard Qing Cang say by his ear: "This is a Mimicry Projection. Among the various Sects, only our Bronze Sect has a high-intensity signal channel."
Virtual reality technology wasn't much, but being able to pass through vast distances, ignore the Nether Mist interference, maintain signal channel stability, and construct it out, that was completely different.
He saw Su Chen stare blankly and thought he was shocked by the scene before him, so he opened his mouth to explain, faintly carrying a trace of pride.
"Mhm, amazing." Su Chen also praised, Being Sensible.
This was a one-way Projection. The Prison-Suppressing King and Chu Lingyuan and the others naturally couldn't hear their exchange.
They could only hear the Prison-Suppressing King with a solemn expression say: "Begin."
Chu Lingyuan stood with the various Sects' Morning Stars not far away, his expression looking very relaxed.
Following an order, the sacrificial altar unfurled. Divine Blood gurgled out from vessels, and Faith Essence stead like clouds, carrying a pale-golden halo within milky white. An invisible force guided the Divine Blood and Faith Essence to blend together.
The two powers intertwined and Resonated in the air, bursting with fine light. A pillar of light shot up into the sky from the ground, engulfing the cane and piercing straight through the starry do. The top split into countless light threads, subrging In the Void.
Directly beneath the light pillar erged a mirror-like screen of light about the height of a person. It was neither tal nor jade, and liquid silver radiance circulated its entire body. The mirror surface was smooth as if nothing was there. At first, there was only a patch of Purple Fla, but it gradually beca clear.
...
Inside the Flare Realm, within an empty Grand Hall, the Imasurable Buddha sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands casually resting on his knees. He chuckled: "The Abyssal Domain is incomparably vast, and is the stage to carry you all. Why must you be content with occupying a small corner?"
Kong Ming was standing behind him, head bowed and eyes lowered.
"Old baldy, you want to recruit us?" The Zhenwu Ancient King asked directly.
"Patron is quite straightforward. However, my Buddha Land doesn't have the ability to recruit six Radiant Moons at once." The Imasurable Buddha acted very humbly, "If everyone joined together, it would cause great chaos in my Buddha Land."
Imdiately after, he added: "However, if it's only one or two, my Buddha Land can still withstand it. If any among you truly wish to join, the Buddha Land opens its doors to welco you."
"Forget it." The Xuantian Ancient King gave a Bitter Smile, "We have no great ambitions. Heading to the Abyssal Domain, I'm afraid we wouldn't amount to much. It's better to play... how did that saying go, playing house, in this small corner?"
The Imasurable Buddha laughed involuntarily and shook his head, "You all are truly too humble. Six Radiant Moons, even if placed in the Abyssal Domain, is a force that cannot be ignored. No matter where you are, you would hold high positions..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Vast Sea Emperor's eyes shifted slightly. Sounds of overlapping layers seed to ring in his ears. He was very familiar with this scene, imdiately saying: "Buddha, please step away temporarily. The several of us have important matters to discuss."
"Important matters?" The Imasurable Buddha paused but didn't press further, "Since this is the case, then I won't disturb you."
He got up leisurely and walked out step by step, with Kong Ming following closely behind.
After he left, Bronze waved his large hand, and the Hall Door slamd shut.
The Imasurable Buddha stopped outside the hall, looking back. His pair of pupils seed to transform into nebula whirlpools, and the astonishnt on his face flashed past: "They actually have an external communication sacrificial thod. It seems they aren't trapped here..."
Over this past month, he had beco sowhat familiar with these few guys. Although they were all vigilant towards each other, quite a few things could be inferred from their words.
They seriously lacked so common knowledge, and even more so didn't know about the Mist-Fall Calamity.
The Imasurable Buddha smiled slightly: "Although my Buddha Land isn't the place most adept at sacrificial thods, this sacrificial thod is too crude. It's just right..."
...
Inside The Hall, the data Streaking Light spreading from beneath the Bronze Ancient King's feet had already covered the entire Grand Hall.
Everyone cast their gazes towards the Vast Sea Emperor. Flickering light dots erged in the surroundings, actually gradually condensing into a blurry mirror surface in front of him.
"The matter of investigating Su Chen's Talent has already been settled. Bronze, you won't back out at the last minute, right?" The Zhenwu Ancient King suddenly said.
"Since it's settled, how could I back out." The Vast Sea Emperor said faintly.
The Bronze Sect's Starfire had yet to recover. With the Royal Court and the Four Great Sects all reaching an agreent, the Bronze Sect naturally didn't have any power to resist. The Bronze Ancient King had to agree whether he wanted to or not, otherwise it would only look worse.
The Bronze Ancient King rely remained silent, not uttering any words.
And the scene in the mirror had gradually beco clear. The Prison-Suppressing King impressively stood within it.
Before anyone spoke, they saw the Prison-Suppressing King suddenly half-kneel on the ground. His voice was muffled and powerless: "Emperor, Prison-Suppressing... asks for your forgiveness."
"Forgiveness?"
The Ancient Kings all looked towards the Vast Sea Emperor.
The Vast Sea Emperor frowned. Looking at the Prison-Suppressing King with his head bowed and silent, a faint unease rose in his heart. He said coldly: "Prison-Suppressing, what matter could make you ask for forgiveness?"
It had only been three months since the last sacrifice. What major changes could have happened in the Dust Star Sea in these three months?
When push ca to shove, even though the Prison-Suppressing King had rehearsed it many tis, he still couldn't open his mouth.
After a long while, even the Vast Sea Emperor had lost his patience. Only then did he grit his teeth and say: "The Royal Capital was breached, casualties are disastrous, and the Radiant Moon Spirit has been polluted by Mist Embers!"
In reality, the mont the Prison-Suppressing King said the words "The Royal Capital was breached", the Vast Sea Emperor's expression had already changed.
Until the last word fell, he even doubted if he had misheard. He was even faintly losing control of himself. The surrounding void faintly twisted, and a suppressed, terrifying power seed about to burst forth.
The Royal Court was breached? The Radiant Moon Spirit was polluted by Mist Embers?
This kind of Unimaginable news would actually co from the Prison-Suppressing King's mouth?
Even the other Ancient Kings, and even Zhenwu, were montarily stunned. They thought of many things. To breach the Royal Court's defenses head-on, a Great Eldritch God definitely couldn't do it, right?
It was only the Bronze Ancient King who saw things going wrong and hurriedly held down the Vast Sea Emperor, saying in a deep voice: "Don't get excited. If the connection is broken, they will have to start the sacrifice again."
One ti required consuming over a hundred drops of Divine Blood. This price wasn't small.
"Could it be that the Abyssal Domain attacked?" The Xuantian Ancient King's Thoughts shifted extrely fast, and he hurriedly asked.
"Abyssal Domain?" The Prison-Suppressing King was startled, denying it, "That's not it. It's... it's Zhou Lingtian allied with the Longriver Clan, as well as Believers of Crimson, Sly Fox, and Faceless Ghost..."
The Prison-Suppressing King didn't even dare to look up at the Vast Sea Emperor's expression. He also didn't want to report in front of the several Ancient Kings, but helpless, a solo sacrifice had a huge consumption not to ntion, and on the Vast Sea Emperor's side, he might not necessarily be able to find a gap to be alone.
But this matter couldn't go unreported either.
"Longriver Clan? Zhou Lingtian?" The Vast Sea Emperor's voice was coldly severe, yet he revealed a ferocious smile. If he was told that the Abyssal Domain had launched a massive invasion now, or even a Solar Rank had descended, he wouldn't be this shocked.
What did the Longriver Clan and Zhou Lingtian amount to? Not to ntion so Evil God Cultists. With the Royal Capital's Foundation, even if a Great Eldritch God descended personally, it was impossible to cause such massive casualties.
"Where is the Galaxy Throne? What is Lu Feng doing? And what is Li Sheng doing? And what is that old turtle doing?" The Vast Sea Emperor could hardly control himself, roaring repeatedly.
The Prison-Suppressing King lowered his head: "They... at that ti carried the Galaxy Throne... to attack the Bronze Sect."
"What?" The Bronze Ancient King's palm holding down the Vast Sea Emperor trembled. He retracted it in terror, his expression changing drastically.
Even the Vast Sea Emperor was stunned. The expressions of the other Ancient Kings instantly beca elusive.
"Attacking the Bronze Sect... What audacity you have!" The Prison-Suppressing King could be certain this was the Bronze Ancient King's voice.
He still didn't raise his head, biting the bullet to explain: "In the Flare Realm, Qin Yun listened to that Remnant Spirit's guidance, angered the Spirit of the Vast Sun, and ultimately used us as a Sacrifice to let herself escape with her life."
"On the verge of death, the other Morning Stars and I all swore a solemn oath that no matter who made it out alive, they would vow to Grinding Bones and Scattering Ashes of Qin Yun. That's why we went to the Bronze Sect to detain Qin Yun."
"All killed by Qin Yun." The various Ancient Kings frowned. This reason was rely an excuse, but if they were truly killed by Qin Yun, they indeed needed an explanation.
The Bronze Ancient King was unceremonious: "Then why didn't you say so when you were in the Flare Realm?"
The Prison-Suppressing King said helplessly: "With you there, I didn't dare to say."
"Didn't dare? Or was it preditated!" The Bronze Ancient King angrily shouted, much like the Vast Sea Emperor, also sowhat unable to control himself.
God-Defier, King Peng, and Black Tortoise taking the Galaxy Throne to attack the Bronze Core.
He was extrely clear about the Starfire's situation; it completely couldn't supply energy to the Bronze Core. Relying rely on the thods he left behind, facing the Royal Court's Foundation, it probably couldn't hold out for long.
Not to ntion, Chu Lingyuan was still here and hadn't left; it was incredibly empty.
The Radiant Moon Spirit, he feared, had already fallen into the Royal Court's hands.
The Xuantian Ancient King sighed softly in his heart. Although the people of the Royal Court took a risk and paid the price for that risk, they weren't entirely without gains.
Although the Royal Court's Radiant Moon Spirit was polluted, the Bronze Sect's Radiant Moon Spirit was already in their hands. At least they had so gains.
"Haha..." The Zhenwu Ancient King laughed loudly: "It seems the Bronze Sect will soon cease to exist."
