Chapter 812: Sacrifice
....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the ruins of the Zhenlei Sect, a young man wearing a mask was surrounded by countless bolts of lightning.
Ye Chen tried many ways to refine the red divine lightning in his palm but found that every time he touched it, he would be pushed back by an invisible force.
It was as if he was not qualified to control it at all.
Ye Chen opened his eyes and muttered to himself as he looked at the red lightning.
“Master said that it would take a long time to refine it. How long is that? Or do I have to reach a certain level in order to control it?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful figure floated in front of him.
It was Mo Ning.
“Tomb Master, the power of the divine lightning is special to begin with. It contains its own spiritual consciousness, which is very different from the life rune in your body. It’s impossible to refine it like this.”
“However, if you use your blood essence as a sacrifice, it will cause irreparable damage to your body.”
“In ancient times, if one wanted to subdue divine lightning, most people would sacrifice the blood essence of their loved ones before refining it. If your parents are powerful, Tomb Master, using their blood essence would make the cost of refining it much lower.”
Ye Chen shook his head when he heard this.
It was impossible for him to use his parents’ blood essence to refine this divine lightning.
The divine lightning was powerful, but it was dispensable compared to his parents.
“Forget it. Since I am not fated with this divine lightning, I won’t refine it for now.”
Just as Ye Chen was about to stand up, a black shadow suddenly rushed over to s.n.a.t.c.h the divine lightning. Ye Chen subconsciously drew the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword, and was prepared to fight, when he realized…
It was actually Little Black!
What was Little Black doing?
Rumble!
With a loud bang, its paw touched the divine lightning, and countless bolts of divine lightning wrapped themselves around its body like a huge net.
At the same time, it released a drop of beast blood essence.
The beast blood essence was instantly torn apart and burned by the power of the divine lightning, and it looked like Little Black was suffering an incredible amount of pain.
The violent divine lightning seemed to have swallowed Little Black’s body, and a scorched smell wafted from its fur.
“Little Black is using its blood essence as a sacrifice to help me refine the divine lightning?”
Ye Chen did not expect Little Black to do such a thing.
If it were to endure this amount of pain and torture from the divine lightning, it would die!
There was no need for this!
When Mo Ning saw this scene, her expression changed.
“Tomb Master, this Black Tiger King is a little special. It’s actually willing to sacrifice itself for you. Its divine soul is already bound to you, which means that it can indeed be considered to be close to you.”
“Such loyal beasts are extremely rare.”
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he heard Little Black’s painful roars. He quickly asked, “Mo Ning, is there a way to stop this? If this continues, what will happen to Little Black?”
Mo Ning shook her head.
“Tomb Master, once the sacrificial ritual has already begun, it’s impossible to stop. As for the consequences, I can’t say at this point. It depends on how much the pain the beast can withstand. If it can’t withstand it, it will definitely die. However, if it can survive, this might be an opportunity for it.”
“Tomb Master, now is the time when the divine lightning is at its weakest. Hurry up and refine it. Otherwise, everything that this beast has done for you will be in vain!”
Ye Chen glanced at Little Black, who was entangled and swallowed by the divine lightning. He gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated. He formed a seal with his fingers and channeled his true qi into his hands.
His right hand grabbed the divine lightning and began to refine it frantically. Endless divine lightning drilled into his body, and his eyes and dantian shone brightly.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and bolts of lightning descended.
A large black hole instantly formed around Ye Chen and Little Black, as the ground began to crack.
The power of lightning around Ye Chen’s body grew stronger and stronger, and his body began to crackle.
“Blood Dragon, give me some strength.”
When the Blood Dragon heard Ye Chen’s voice, it swooped down from the sky and opened its mouth to devour the lightning. At the same time, its huge body coiled around Ye Chen.
Even so, it was still not enough!
Ye Chen even felt as if his body was about to explode from the divine lightning. “Dragonslayer Heaven Sword, come!”
A cold gleam flashed, and the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword spun around above Ye Chen’s head, resisting the countless lightning bolts.
“It’s not enough. Immortal Flames, cover my body and resist the divine lightning!”
With a roar, flames enveloped Ye Chen’s body, devouring the incoming lightning.
Fire, lightning, blood dragon, and sword intent. The four forces worked in tandem to resist the power of the divine lightning bolts. Everything within a ten-mile radius was reduced to ruins by the impact and shockwaves.
It was a wasteland!
Fortunately, there was no one nearby. Otherwise, such a strange phenomenon would definitely have attracted attention.
Little Black, who was beside Ye Chen, was still struggling. The tiger’s roar was accompanied by a hissing sound. Gradually, its voice became softer and softer, and its eyes began to dim.
It was a ferocious beast, but it was impossible for it to resist the divine lightning.
Mo Ning looked at the Black Tiger King and shook her head helplessly. Although she wanted to help, she could not afford to expend her limited strength to do so. If she did, she would be forced to leave this world in advance. “Sigh, you’re loyal to the tomb master. After you die, I’11 bury you properly. I hope that you can become a cultivator in your next life and never have such an encounter again.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Ning’s body disappeared back into the Samsara Graveyard. After all, it would take at least a few days to refine the divine lightning, so there was no point in wasting energy staying outside.
The Black Tiger King lay on the ground, and the endless divine lightning had already drilled into its body. Before long, it would be turned into ashes.
At this moment, Ye Chen had his eyes closed as he continued to refine the divine lightning.
He wanted to help, but there was nothing he could do!
If he gave up on refining it, then Little Black’s sacrifice would be in vain.
Time fell silent, as if it had stopped flowing.
The Black Tiger King opened its eyes with difficulty as if it was looking at Ye Chen for the last time. However, just as it was about to close its eyes, the black stone in Ye Chen’s pocket suddenly flew out and circled around the Black Tiger King. Seconds later, a burst of light erupted, and a seven-colored light completely enveloped the Black Tiger King’s body.
The Black Tiger King’s body floated up, and miraculously, the seven-colored light brought its body into the Samsara Graveyard!
Mo Ning and Lin Qingxuan naturally saw this scene, and their eyes were filled with surprise.
“Senior Lin, why did the Samsara Graveyard bring Little Black’s body inside? Has it somehow been recognized by the Samsara Graveyard?”
The Samsara Graveyard could only contain inanimate objects other than the hundred mighty figures and Ye Chen, so this sudden change was inexplicable. Lin Qingxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He stroked his beard and looked in a certain direction.
“You forgot one thing. One of these too mighty experts has the bloodline of a heaven-defying beast!”
