Chapter 1022: Sacrifice, I'm Here!
ai Changfeng calmly spoke, saying: "Vice-Dean Zhang, it won't be long before the Imperial Grand Examination begins."This is the grand event that happens every three years in the Imperial Court. As per...In the void.
"Big brother, where is the celestial master" Di Fei asked.
His surface wounds, though healed by the cleansing power of humanity, still left his face looking pale.
Not only Di Fei, but all the others are the same.
The aura of the Demonic Ape King was also unstable.
The previous showdown against the otherworldly race was a desperate battle. They started with fewer numbers, so they fought with everything they had just to hold their ground. As a result, they were all severely wounded, injuries that wouldn't heal overnight.
When Tianji Daoist first took away Huāng Māo with secret arts, Yún Hào was indeed unable to find his specific location.
After slaughtering the alien races and destroying the Heavenly Palace, though the power of humanity hadn't been fully realized, it surged significantly. Now, Yun Hao could sense the entire Azure World with the power of humanity.
Heavenly Machine Daoist's methods were extremely mysterious, hidden very deeply, yet Yun Hao still caught a glimmer of fluctuation.
That's the fluctuation of the power of the wasteland!
This means that the wild cat is still holding on, and Heaven's Mechanism Daoist hasn't been able to suppress it yet!
"Deep within the boundless void, its location ever shifting, but I have confidence in finding it!" Yun Hao declared.
They continued on their journey.
Meanwhile, Yun Hao took advantage of his journey to split a strand of his consciousness and immerse it within the space of the divine tablet.
Before the war began, the Chosen One had already come out of the space within the Divine Tablet.
After the outbreak of war, the Heavenly Chosen disappeared completely.
Even the power of humanity cannot sense the aura of the Heavenly Mandate's daughter.
Even within the Heavenly Emperor's Path, there is no longer a projection of the Celestial Maiden.
During this special period, Yun Hao was unable to spare the energy to find the chosen daughter of destiny.
He probably guessed the reason why the chosen maiden disappeared.
Perhaps it's related to some kind of 'power' that the previous generation emperor left on Tianming Nv.
That power was left behind by the previous generation's emperor as a bargaining chip to completely solve the problem of Heavenly Mechanism Daoist.
Originally, that power required the complete force of humanity to be unlocked.
Ke Yunhao felt, it wasn't necessarily so!
When Yún Hào imprinted time onto her and refined the divine power within Huang Quán Dì's body to help the Daughter of Destiny ascend, the Daughter of Destiny's own power reacted, repelling the divine power.
He even suspected that the Heavenly Chosen Daughter had already unlocked the power of the previous Emperor sealed within her.
"Daddy!"
Just then.
Yun Nian's soft and sweet voice rose.
The little girl's round face was filled with tension, her expression worried. Her two short legs scurried as fast as they could to the front of Yun Hao's spirit avatar.
Yun Hao hugged Yun Nian.
Yún Niàn: "Father, are you alright……Shítóu gege told me everything……Father……you're a bad person……You went to do such a dangerous thing……and didn't tell me……"
As she spoke, Yun Nian's eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Her two chubby little hands clung tightly to Yun Hao's neck.
Yun Hao's palm gently caressed Yun Nian's hair, and said, "Nian'er, I have something to tell your stone brother. Would you please tell him for me"
Yun Nian said, "Father, you don't need to tell Stone Brother. Stone Brother is here."
Saying that, he pulled out a small stone from a pouch embroidered with floral patterns hanging from his waist.
Magnified hundreds of times, it is indeed the grinding stone-like platform deep within the space of the divine tablet.
"Brother Stone, my father wants to speak with you. You better not be sleeping! My father must have something very urgent to tell you." Yun Nian held a stone in her left hand and kept patting it with her right.
“I told you, don’t take pictures of me like that!” Shítóu said dejectedly from within the cloud. He instantly broke free from Yún Niàn's grasp and transformed into a gigantic grinding disc, hovering in mid-air.
"Niàn'er, you go play for a while first," Yún Hào said.
"No, I'm not going anywhere. I want to stay by Father's side!" Yun Nian, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, was unusually stubborn this time and insisted on staying by Yun Hao's side.
Because she knew her father was in very grave danger, she didn't want to leave his side for a moment.
The next moment.
A ray of light emanated from the stone tablet and fell upon Yun Nian.
Yun Nian fell asleep directly.
Even in sleep, the two chubby little hands still clutched tightly onto Yun Hao's clothes, unwilling to let go.
"Go ahead."
The
stone platform echoes with the aspirations of the heart.
Yun Hao's gaze, filled with longing and reluctance, moved away from Yun Nian's sleeping face. He looked towards the stone platform and said, "If anything happens, please be sure to protect Nian'er's safety!"
Shi Tai remained silent for a moment, then let out a sigh and said: "You now, are just like the former Celestial Emperor of yore. Back then, he too entrusted me with taking care of his younger sister."
“
Yun Hao's face revealed a complex expression.
"Rest assured, you don't need to say that. I will also protect your daughter's safety. To me, her life is more important than yours and the entire human race of Cangjie."
Let me tell you in advance, when that moment comes, I will choose to take her away from the world of Azure.
Besides, I have already made a promise with your daughter. She insists on helping you fight Heavenly Mechanism Daoist. As long as I agree to her, she will follow me and study diligently from now on. When she fully masters the texts of the Immortal Legacy Clan, I will guide her to officially embark on the path of cultivation for the Immortal Legacy Clan!
Yún Hào lowered his head again, looking at the daughter in his arms.
His face was filled with guilt.
As a father, I owe my daughter so much.
"If, when that moment truly arrives, you will escort Nian'er away from the world of Cang. " Yun Hao's voice was heavy.
"Why didn't you ask me to help eliminate Tiān Jī Dào Ren" the intention within Shí tái, suddenly retorted.
Yun Hao: “Since you have such a close relationship with the previous emperor, if you could help solve the issue with Tianji Dao Ren, you would have helped the previous emperor long ago.”
Shitao hummed in agreement: "You're very perceptive. That's indeed the case. As for the reason, it's actually quite simple."
I must take your daughter to the Upper Realm safely. If my power were to erupt in the Lower Realm, it's possible that by the time I reach the Upper Realm with your daughter, countless powerful figures from the Divine Dao would already be ambushing me there.
The four characters "Xianzhi Yizu" do not symbolize a bloodline, but rather represent the only trace of the divine path reaching its ultimate state as a Xian.
This trace,
"...capable of driving countless top-tier experts from the upper realms to madness!"
Yunhao bowed to the stone platform and said, "Then I'll leave it to you!"
Having said that, he carefully took Yun Nian's hand away and, with a wave of his hand, condensed a soft cloud of colorful mist, gently placing his daughter within it to lie down.
Yun Hao's mind dispersed, finally leaving the space within the divine tablet.
A wisp of the heart returns to its source.
Yun Hao, leading the seven divine beings of the human camp through the void, suddenly stopped.
Before them, in the utter void, a subtle ripple of space suddenly appeared. A faint aura of desolate power emanated with the spatial ripples.
Tiānjī Dào Rén and Huāngmāo are also in this surging space ripple.
Space ripples appear, then vanish in an instant.
This is the way of Tiānjī Dàorén, the mysterious space he opened up constantly changes and moves, making it impossible to find.
Yun Hao was well-prepared.
As the ripples in this space shifted, a magnificent river of stars surged from his palm. Brilliant stars glittered with intense light, covering the expanse where the ripples had been.
The mystical space created by Tianji Daoist constantly changes its location, so Yun Hao directly used the Xinghe Scroll, a top-grade artifact, to restrict the range of movement of Tianji Daoist's mysterious space!
Within the mysterious space contained in that rippling water.
Tiānjī Dào Rén instantly sensed something was amiss.
A cold arc crossed his mouth as he said, “He’s really created another miracle. Those wastes from the alien races in Tiangong were actually solved so quickly by him.”
"Roar!"
A roar filled with boundless ferocity erupted.
A terrifying, boundless ocean of raw power!
The fourth form is unleashed, a massive golden-furred beast roars with fury.
Its body, pierced by chains covered in runes, writhed desperately. The wasteland cat strained, snapping chains one after another. But from all sides, more chains shot out, one after another, piercing the wasteland cat's body!
Tiānjī Dàorén looked at Huāngmāo and said, “Although Yún Hào arrived quickly, it will still take him some time to enter here. During this time, I have enough time to sacrifice you.”
I left you from a cultivation civilization era on the Azure Realm to destroy you!
If you are not useful to me, then what does it matter I will sacrifice you and still use your power to destroy the world!
This, this is the destiny you, you vile beast, were destined for!”
As Tianjidaoren spoke, his hands moved quickly, forming seals. On the chains piercing Huochao's body, every rune lit up. Each rune burst forth with immense power, beginning to devour the near-infinite Wild Power within Huochao.
"Roar!"
The roar of the wildcat grew louder and louder.
But there's no escaping!
As Tiangijiao Ren's hand seals continued to be cast, a large number of talismans rained down from the sky.
These glyphs emanate a sinister and eerie aura.
A rune landed on the feral cat.
The fur, flesh, and even bone of the desert cat directly melted away.
Those runes on the iron chains are merely absorbing the power of the wildcat, preventing it from resisting.
These symbols now, are offerings!
More and more runes fell onto the wildcat's body.
The enormous body of the desert cat was riddled with wounds, its skin and flesh disappearing in patches.
"As for the other wild beasts, their power comes from the Wild Cores within them. But you are quite special. There's no Wild Core inside you. Your power stems from this very skeleton! I want to see just how long it can hold up under my sacrificial power!"
Heavenly Machine Daoist let out a cold and harsh shout, his hands forming seals at an even faster rate. More sacrifice talismans fell, densely packed, completely burying the skeletal remains of the desolate cat.
Inside the space of Xinghejuan.
Yun Hao restricted the ripples from changing position within that space.
But he can't get in!
No entry found!
This space ripples with countless spatial nodes, each one representing the entrance to a mysterious realm.
He doesn't have time to investigate each spatial node right now!
In Yun Hao's perception, with the ripples of space dissipating, the aura of the chaotic power had vanished.
Yun Hao's heart was pounding with anxiety!
The stray cat might not last much longer!
"Let me do it!"
Just then, Jiang Chen from the side walked forward. He took a deep breath, and the skin on his forehead split open, and that divine eye from the alien race opened again!
From the divine being's eye, a blazing light shot forth, landing upon the rippling space.
A wisp of fresh blood continuously flowed from the perimeter of the divine eye, and soon, ginger morning's face was already covered in blood.
"Aha!"
He gritted his teeth, enduring the backlash pain from overuse of the divine eye. With a low growl, he threw a punch at the spatial ripples before him.
"Boom boom boom!"
A spatial node hidden within the ripples of space was shattered by a punch from Jiang Chen!
Yun Hao's body instantly plunged into it!
"Stray cat, hold on, I'm coming!"wu Jiao.”Yun Hao: “Since you're asking for him, I'll spare him this time. Please lead the way.”That's all.Yun Hao led Mu Siyuan up the mountain path.Ouyang Bai, beaten to a pulp, watched in fury as th...
