Chapter 697: Chapter 697 – Blood Sacrifice
Thick Qi Blood soared into the sky. It was a chaotic region, with corpses everywhere. There were Centaurs and other races.
“There are actually so many?”
Hechi looked at this b.l.o.o.d.y scene and could not help but feel surprised. “An Evil G.o.d that allows people to sacrifice blood actually has so many loyal followers?”
The people in front of him were all people who had chosen to follow the Evil G.o.d. There were centaurs and other races among them.
In the past, besides preaching to their races, Centaurs also preached among the slaves.
After a long time, under the influence of sugar-coated cannonb.a.l.l.s, some people still believed in the Evil G.o.d. For this reason, it did not matter even if they placed their family and friends on the altar.
Even now, there are still quite a few people who followed that Evil G.o.d until now.
However, in the end, the fate of these people had already been decided. The cruel blood sacrifice began at this moment. One by one, the centaurs were being escorted to the guillotine.
However, they were still cursing Kalunu and his followers during this process. Those who dared to do so would receive very miserable punishments later on.
Although the outcome of those who could be sent here was already determined, the process was very different.
/
Those who were honest, didn’t resist, and didn’t do much were directly given a quick death. As for those who cursed all the way and still resisted until the end, their fate was much more miserable.
Whips, knives, axes, razors, etc. All kinds of torture instruments were complete in this place. It was not an exaggeration to say that the process was torture and killing.
Those who were executed in this place were those who had suffered miserably under the hands of the Centaurs in the past. These people had always had a sense of anger in their hearts. They had a strong resentment towards the Centaurs, and they would not show mercy at this moment.
Miserable cries continued to be heard from this place. It made people feel terrified and could not bear to hear it. Even though they deeply hated the Centaurs, many people still could not stand this scene and did not come here.
For example, Tree Spirits like Direen had left a long time ago. They followed beside Kalunu and did not want to see the scene in front of them.
As for Hechi, Hemmer, and the others who stayed behind were all ruthless people with hearts as hard as a stone. They didn’t feel anything when they saw the scene in front of them. Instead, they felt refreshed and couldn’t wait to see it for a while longer.
The corpses of the Centaurs fell to the ground one by one. Then, under the guidance of the specialized priests, they were burned into pure dust and fell to the ground.
During this process, a large amount of resentment and the power of faith was produced and slowly moved into the distance. These powers rushed forward along with some kind of connection and finally accurately arrived on a certain person’s body.
Kalunu.
Standing on barren land, at this moment, Kalunu keenly felt the power on his body. He was not surprised by this. Resentment and the power of faith would inevitably be produced during the blood sacrifice process.
The power of faith required by a G.o.d did not have to be the pure faith given by a devout believer. The fear and hatred of the enemy were sometimes one of the sources of power.
This was also one of the reasons why blood sacrifices were often extremely cruel and terrifying. Because the more terrifying and cruel the process was, the greater the resentment and pain in the heart of the blood sacrifice victim, and the more power of faith they produced.
The blood sacrifice victim and even the G.o.d behind him also benefited more. It was that simple. It was the same at this moment.
Looking at the distant world, Kalunu silently closed his eyes and slowly digested the power in his body. There was a divine nature flickering with light in his body, and at this moment, it looked extremely bright.
That divine nature was very clear. Some of it was obtained from Chen Heng’s body, and some from other places.
Before this, he went to a secret land and found a sealed land left by a G.o.d. That sealed land was the sealed place left by the G.o.d. Many of the remains of the G.o.d who died in the war and even his followers were sealed.
There were many corpses of demiG.o.ds, including the real G.o.d’s corpse. Kalunu explored for a long time and used the simulator’s power to transform it into his divinity.
Along with this process, the divinity in his body grew more and more, and his power became more and more powerful. At this point, Kalunu differed slightly from Chen Heng’s main body.
Chen Heng’s main body was very cautious in choosing his divinity. Because if he chose the wrong path, it was very likely to affect his future achievements. Thus, he was very cautious from the beginning to the end. There was also a limit to the absorption of divinity, except for a few targeted domains. The divinity of the other domains was rarely absorbed.
But Kalunu was different. Kalunu’s position was to be a clone that protected the main body, not a higher-level explorer. Thus, Kalunu’s requirements for himself were very simple. The stronger, the better.
For this reason, Kalunu didn’t find fault. He directly chose the simplest path. In the previous sealed land, he found the G.o.d’s corpse that he could explore and gathered all the divinity in it into his body.
The divinity kept gathering, and that kind of power was extremely powerful. In itself, Kaluru did not lack divine power, and neither did he lack divinity.
All the conditions were not lacking, so the growth of his strength would naturally be much faster. Because of this, Kaluru’s strength was not weaker than Chen Heng’s main body. It was even better. The previous battle was proof of that.
Standing quietly on the spot, Kalunu looked in front of him and quietly felt the rapidly rising power in his body. Speaking of which, because of the different positioning, many methods had become different.
For methods like blood sacrifice, Chen Heng’s main body would never use them because he was worried that there would be some traces and sequelae that would affect his future progress.
However, it didn’t matter to Kalunu. He could just use it directly. In the past, Kalunu had used it a lot.
Pure power surged in his body. Beside Kalunu’s ears, the wails of the souls continued to ring out. It was the wails and cries of the Centaurs and the roars they made when their souls were destroyed.
Everything, including their blood, Qi, and souls, was finally devoured. Not a single trace was left behind. That was how pathetic it was.
“It feels pretty good.”
Feeling the increase in his strength, Kalunu smiled. He was rather satisfied. It had to be said that as a method to increase one’s strength, the effect of the blood sacrifice was very obvious.
Compared to the traditional means of spreading the faith and developing believers, the blood sacrifice was equivalent to a one-time harvest, harvesting the flesh and blood of others and even the origin of their souls. The effect was naturally very good.
Before this, the G.o.d behind the Centaur could recover quickly and be precise because of the blood sacrifice. And in the entire World of G.o.ds, many G.o.ds liked the method of blood sacrifice.
After all, although the traditional development beliefs were long-lasting, the blood sacrifice came quickly. Getting rich quickly was something that everyone always liked, including G.o.ds.
Unfortunately, as the ruler of the Kalunu kingdom, Kalunu couldn’t do so. Unlike the Centaur tribe, even if he wanted to go to the blood sacrifice, he could not find too many people to give him a blood sacrifice.
Therefore, he could only have a few similar opportunities now. He felt a little regretful in his heart, and at the same time, he was thinking about something.
Should he create another clone to do the blood sacrifice?
He did not expect to obtain such power. He only needed to go to those traditional G.o.d parishes to cause trouble and disrupt the rhythm of those G.o.ds. That would be enough.
After thinking carefully, he felt that this idea was very practical and could try it if he had the chance. Anyway, for him, divinity was not valuable. Even if he failed, it would be a failure. It didn’t matter.
Of course, he still had more important things to do at the moment.
The army of the Kaluu Kingdom had already rampaged in the desert. A large amount of land that originally belonged to the Centaur tribe was now occupied by the Kobold Army.
The strength of the Centaurs was greatly weakened and was close to nothing. But there was one thing that had yet to be resolved.
The G.o.d from before. There was a true G.o.d behind the Centaur tribe. That G.o.d was not a false G.o.d but a true G.o.d. As long as this G.o.d was not dealt with, it would be useless even if all the Centaurs on the ground were eliminated.
After a period of time, this G.o.d would only make a comeback and support another Centaur tribe to be enemies with the Kalunu Kingdom. Even this was not the worst outcome.
If Kalunu were an opponent, he would try to sneak into the inner part of the Kalunu Kingdom. At that time, not only would it be more hidden, but the harm it would cause would also be much greater.
Therefore, this hidden danger had to be solved. That was what Kalunu thought and did. Soon, he took action again.
The hiding place of a G.o.d was very difficult to find because it was often very hidden. Even if it was the same G.o.d, it was difficult to find it without guidance. However, the premise of all this was that the G.o.d did not reveal himself.
Coincidentally, some time ago, the evil G.o.d behind the Centaurs made a move. With that move, Kalunu followed the clues and found the hiding place. After spending more than a month, he had almost explored it.
A star began to s.h.i.+ne in the void, emitting a bright light. After the bright and uncertain radiance bloomed, it was a dazzling divine power aura.
The divine power aura was so powerful, and the G.o.d’s majesty was extremely obvious. Even if one did not deliberately look for it, it was very difficult to ignore.
“Can’t hold on anymore?”
In the void, Kalunu stood in place. Looking at the scene in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.
