Chapter 77: Sacrifice

ound and enigmatic feminine energy, flowing endlessly, momentarily ensnaring all three of them.The three of them desperately tried to escape, but trapped in this endless torrent of sword intent, they...This is way too hard to kill.

Su Xin looked at the dead body of the giant bear monster beast beneath his feet, a wry smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

This giant bear monster, its physical defense is really too strong, especially the bones inside its body, which are incredibly hard.

In order to kill it, Su Xin not only attacked frantically for a long time, exhausting a lot of spiritual power, even the sword used for attacking was ruined.

“After this mission is complete and I return to Tianyan Palace, I definitely have to go to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for a good weapon.” Su Xin looked at the second sword in his hand that had also started to curl, and couldn't help but think to himself.

Within the Treasure Pavilion, countless treasures of all kinds are displayed.

Of course, there are also various powerful and high-level weapons. These weapons can even increase the strength of those who wield them to a certain extent.

Before Su Xin used those, they were ordinary longswords. They didn't help much with improving his skill; he just used them because they were handy.

If he had a good weapon, he would kill this giant bear monster without such difficulty.

After killing the giant bear monster, Su Xin stored its body in his Universe Ring. He found a place to rest for a while, recovering his spiritual energy before continuing to hunt down his second target.

The Blood Sacrifice Mountains are vast and filled with danger. Remember the URL

Although many martial artists venture into the Bloody Altar Mountains, most are concentrated in the outer areas. Very few dare to venture deep into the interior.

Su Xin ventured alone deep within the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, searching for demon beasts that met the requirements of his mission to hunt and slay.

In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

……

It is still in the depths of Blood Sacrifice Mountains.

At the base of a mountain, there is a hidden door so secret that even if someone passed by, they would hardly notice it.

This hidden door also conceals a special formation. If one doesn't understand the intricacies of the formation, even if someone discovers the existence of this hidden door, they will still be unable to open it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures suddenly landed at the foot of the mountain and came to this dark door.

The three of them wore black robes that covered their heads, obscuring their faces. After arriving, they continued to observe their surroundings carefully. Only after confirming that there were no other people around did the leader begin to activate the formation.

As the formation was activated, the dark gate swung open, and the three of them stepped inside.

At first glance, it was a pitch-black corridor, with almost no light whatsoever.

Fortunately, the three of them were not newcomers to this place. With a torch in hand, they followed the passage forward, spending half an incense stick's time before reaching the center of the cave.

Here, there is a more open space. In the center of the space stands a tall altar, and on top of the altar stands a huge and imposing statue, several meters high.

This statue is very unique in its design.

Three heads, nine eyes!

Each of the statue's heads was still adorned with a crimson crown.

The upper body of the statue still resembles a human, but the lower body is a huge and ferocious serpent's tail.

The entire statue looked extremely terrifying.

The three who had arrived at the altar below had now removed their black hoods, revealing their true faces.

The three of them, the one standing at the back was a one-eyed old man, and a middle-aged woman with a somewhat swollen face.

The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from these two individuals were extremely powerful, reaching the peak level of the Void-Breaking realm.

And standing before them was a strikingly handsome young man, who looked to be no older than thirty. While this enigmatic youth wasn't as powerful as the two men behind him, it was clear that he was the leader of the three.

Following the steps, the three made their way to the altar and stood before the ferocious and terrifying statue.

On the altar, there were no decorative objects. There was only a deep, bottomless well.

Seeing this dry well, a surge of excitement and heat flashed in the eyes of that sinister young man.

Reaching the dry well, the enigmatic young man skillfully slashed his finger, letting the blood from his fingertips drop into the well.

As blood dripped in, at the very bottom of this dry well, a surge of sanguine light surged. In the next moment, an endless wave of blood mist erupted from beneath the well, as if a bloody eye had opened at the bottom of the well. The blood light bathed the entire altar in a crimson glow.

A thick, cloying scent of blood permeated the entire altar.

Upon seeing this, the mischievous youth's eyes gleamed with even greater excitement.

"Let's get started!"

Suppressing the excitement within him, this charming young man began to take out objects one by one from his spatial ring and throw them into the blood-filled, withered well before him.

This enigmatic young man took out many things, and there were all sorts of them.

Like pills radiating unique fragrances, many of the pills had layers that were still extremely high. The devilishly handsome youth casually tossed down hundreds of them in one breath.

And there are heavenly treasures, all kinds of exotic fruits, spiritual herbs, divine medicines... many of which are relatively rare and invaluable within the Heavenly Flame Empire.

After that, the devilishly handsome young man took out a number of corpses of demon beasts, blood and flesh, and even some skeletons that had died many years ago. The number was just as numerous.

And in the end, this enigmatic young man even produced a number of human hearts preserved in a special way, and they were still faintly beating!

Yes, it's the human heart.

There were more than ten of them, all thrown into the dry well by the sinister young man.

Behind the young man with a sinister air, the one-eyed old man and the middle-aged woman had remained calm when they saw the medicinal pills and earthly treasures he took out. However, their expressions grew strange when he pulled out the ten or so human hearts at the end.

They were very clear that the things the alluring young man had brought out, the ones at the front, were relatively easy to collect. It was the last ten or so human hearts that took them a long time and a lot of effort to get their hands on.

"This sacrifice, the young master has prepared for a full two years. One wonders if what he obtains in the end will satisfy him" The one-eyed old man mused to himself.

After the enigmatic youth threw all the prepared things into the dry well, it fell silent for a short while, and then blood clouds surged again. From the bottom of the well, two crimson fruits radiating an alluring aura slowly rose.

“It’s the Holy Fruit!” Both the one-eyed elder and the middle-aged woman’s eyes burned with fervor.

Two holy fruits!

That charming young man couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Haha, it wasn't in vain that this young master spent so much effort and resources. The Evil Young Master laughed maniacally, quickly grabbing the two crimson fruits in his hand.

The one-eyed old man and the middle-aged woman looked at each other with desire, but they didn't dare to have any ulterior motives.

First, it's because of this enigmatic young man's origins.

Secondly, although the sacred fruit was tempting, the price they had to pay for it made both of them tremble with fear.

The enigmatic youth, however, didn't care much. After obtaining the two crimson fruits, he directly swallowed one right there on the altar.

And as he swallowed, the sinister youth's spiritual energy began to rise at a visible speed.

Although Mingming was only at the middle stage of the Void-Breaking realm, in just a short moment, he had forcefully raised his cultivation level to the late stage of the Void-Breaking realm.

The one-eyed old man standing at the back saw the middle-aged woman and couldn't help but sigh.

It's too weird!

Mingming was still only in the middle stage of the Void Breaker realm, but as a result of one fruit, their young master directly broke through to the late stage of the Void Breaker.

This strength came too quickly.

"Late Stage Void Breaker!!"

That sinister young man was feeling the breakthrough of his cultivation, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic. In his hand, he still held another fruit.

“No need to rush, I just broke through with the help of the Saint Fruit. Let's go back first and stabilize my cultivation base. After a while, when my cultivation base is stable enough, I'll swallow this second one. Maybe then I can break through directly to the peak of the Void Breaking Realm!” The evil youth clenched his fists tightly.

Peak of breaking through the void!

Within the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, apart from those lofty Nirvana Realm powerhouses, the Broken Void Peak was already the most outstanding existence.

Even ordinary people, even those geniuses carefully cultivated by powerful forces or major sects who are exceptionally gifted, need a considerable amount of time to elevate their cultivation to the peak of the Void Breaking Realm. Most of them only achieve this level after they reach their thirties or forties.

And he, only twenty-six years old, was already so close to reaching the peak of the Void Realm.

"Humph, what a genius"

"Within the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, is there any other genius who could even compare to this young master" The devilishly handsome youth sneered.

Soon, the three left the altar.

Inside the Blood Sacrifice Mountains.

"Haha~~"

A sinister young man's laughter echoed through the heavens and earth. He hovered in mid-air, traversing with ease, wielding a long sword in his hand that continuously slashed towards the forest below.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ~~

Trees collapsed one after another, the earth was ruthlessly torn apart, and some monsters living in the forest all died under the sword of this sinister young man.

He charged headlong, slaughtering everything in his path with reckless abandon.

The middle-aged woman following behind frowned, "Lone Elder, this is the Blood Sacrifice Mountain Range after all. For Young Master to do this..."

Don't worry

But that one-eyed elder waved his hand and said, "Although this place is deep within the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, it's not the most central location. There are few fourth-tier peak monsters comparable to those at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm, let alone fifth-tier monsters. With the two of us guarding you, there will be no danger. Just let the young master vent his anger."

The one-eyed elder knew very well that although the holy fruit obtained through sacrifice could greatly improve a person's cultivation level,

The price to be paid may be that humanity will gradually become twisted and increasingly insane.

He has been by the young master's side for over ten years, witnessing with his own eyes how his young master, who was once a kind and elegant gentleman, transformed into a twisted and utterly mad "lunatic," like a living wild beast.

After each sacrifice and consumption of the sacred fruit, he had to undergo a long period of release to barely suppress his 'beastly' nature, otherwise, he would fall into utter madness.

The devilishly handsome young man vented his frustrations in the woods for a good half hour before finally calming down.

Young Master

The one-eyed old man stepped forward and said, "It's getting late, we should go back."

"Well"

The young man with a sly grin nodded.

The three immediately darted toward the perimeter of the Blood Sacrifice Mountains.

However, the three of them did not walk far...

"Bang!"

From the depths of the forest, a deafening roar echoed through the air, accompanied by a cascade of falling trees. The sudden commotion instantly caught the attention of the three individuals.

"Is anyone there"

The sly young man's eyes lit up. "This is deep in the Blood Sacrifice Mountains. Those who dare to come here are mostly strong, let's go see what they're up to."

The enigmatic youth immediately changed direction and dashed toward the forest from where the voice came.

The one-eyed old man glanced at the middle-aged woman and immediately followed her.

……Someone came."He Chen, who was always on guard duty, suddenly shouted."Su Xin's figure flickered, and he immediately appeared beside He Chen. His gaze looked forward, at the end of his line of sight,...
