Chapter 417: Chapter 151: True Form of the Blood River, Sacrificial Feast (Part 2)

The same was true for Resentful God Planet and Ghost Planet.

For a time, the entire Alien Battlefield, besides humans, was devoid of any creatures.

At this moment, in the Celestial Summit Pavilion.

Loli-bodied [Heavenly Craftsmanship] looked at the intelligence coming back from the Alien Battlefield, ”All the monsters on the Alien Battlefield seem to have vanished into thin air, disappearing entirely.”

[Cabinet] was puzzled, ”All the monsters from the three Exotic Stars have disappeared?”

[Heavenly Craftsmanship] nodded, ”Yes, I don’t know what’s happened.”

[Banker] adjusted his glasses, ”The simultaneous disappearance of monsters from the three Exotic Stars implies they’re lying low for a while, preparing for a big move again.”

After pondering for a moment, ”Let all the Godslaying Squads be on high alert, and have the logistics department ready for battle preparations during this time.”

[Water Scripture] had a worried expression, ”This time, there might be an unprecedented crisis.”

[Divination Master] nodded while looking towards the direction of the Alien Battlefield, ”Yes, my heart is very restless at this moment.”

The remaining four also looked in the direction of the Alien Battlefield, their thoughts unknown.

...

Soon, three days passed.

During these three days, in the very center of Crystal Beast Planet, Resentful God Planet, and Ghost Planet, all the monsters gathered densely.

Every monster who came here was very confused, not knowing what they were doing.

They also felt something was wrong, but all around them, divine-level monsters guarded the perimeter, making it impossible to escape.

”What’s happening? Why have we been gathered here?”

”I heard it’s to perform a sacrifice for the mother star, to bring down a miracle and help us attack Blue Star.”

”A sacrifice? I’ve never heard of such a thing before; why is there suddenly a sacrifice?”

”Even if something feels off, there’s no way out, the borders are all guarded by divine-levels, there’s no way to escape.”

As they spoke, some monsters even took out bizarre divine statues, placing them on the ground, then kneeling and bowing nonstop.

Nearby monsters saw this and similarly knelt, repeatedly bowing in worship.

...

High above the three Exotic Stars.

All the Venerables floating like deities in the sky.

Exchanged glances, nodding slightly.

”Alright, all creatures from the three Exotic Stars have gathered at the altar, we can begin,” Holy Eye Venerable said.

Before the alien monsters had fully gathered, the Venerables laid down three altars with supreme power, just for today’s sacrificial event.

The Venerables nodded to each other.

Then, an endless terror radiated from the Venerables, transforming into shadows that appeared over their respective planets, gazing down like gods at the creatures below.

”My clansmen, today is the most important day for the three Exotic Stars. Today is the day of the grand sacrificial ceremony of the three Exotic Stars.”

”For 2 million years, we have failed to conquer Blue Star; the Holy Tree of the mother star is exceedingly angry, especially holding this grand sacrificial ceremony to expedite our attack on the Blue Star.”

”This ceremony will bring the True Form of the Blood River of the mother star to descend here, helping us invade Blue Star and seize the victory in one go!”

As the Venerable’s voice fell, some of the creatures on the altar showed happy expressions.

”The True Form of the Blood River, the mother river of the mother star; with its descent, we shall surely succeed in attacking Blue Star!”

”We are willing to offer everything for the descent of the True Form of the Blood River.”

...

But some monsters who knew about the Blood River now showed terror and cried out loudly.

”The True Form of the Blood River descending? Doesn’t that mean we all have to be sacrificed for the True Form of the Blood River to descend!”

”The Venerables want to appease the anger of the Holy Tree by using us as sacrifices for the Blood River’s descent.”

”No, I want to get out of here, I refuse to become a sacrificial material!”

”To be killed by humans allows for revival, but being sacrificed obliterates any hope of resurrection!”

Panic-stricken voices began to spread among the monster crowd, and even those unaware of the truth of the sacrifice started to comprehend its real purpose.

More precisely, they understood the true intent behind the sacrifice.

However, the divine-level guards around the altar were not to be trifled with, with barriers rising to completely cut off any hope of escape.

The Venerables above, seeing this, spoke up, ”My clansmen, the Blood River will remember your feats, you shall become the foremost contributors to the invasion of Blue Star!”

With that, the altars, which had been set up for a long time, had blood-red threads rising around them, shooting towards the monsters inside the altar.

Every time it touched a monster, the blood-red threads would consume its internal blood, leaving only a desiccated corpse.

Seeing this, the Venerables said, ”The sacrifice has begun, and next, we just wait for the True Form of the Blood River to descend!”

With that, the anchor talismans left behind by the Holy Tree previously manifested.

Soon, they transformed into three heads, flying towards the center of the three Exotic Star altars.

The three heads, upon touching the ground, transformed into a pool of blood.

At the same time, the other ends of the blood-red threads rising around the altar flew towards this pool of blood.

Subsequently, the blood enlarged visibly,

gradually, the gathered blood gradually formed a river neither large nor small, the process of the Blood River’s True Form coalescing.

At this moment, on the altar.

One by one, monsters watched as the blood-red threads continuously harvested their fellow creatures’ lives, turning them into desiccated corpses; terror rose involuntarily within them, leaving them dumbfounded in a corner, while countless monsters heard a voice in their hearts.

”To give your life for the descent of the Blood River is the supreme honor of every exotic star creature.”

”Sacrificing oneself, achieving the Blood River, all of you will exist within the Blood River, eternally in a different form on earth.”

”When the day comes that we capture Blue Star, the Blood River will flow through every part of Blue Star, and you shall completely become the masters of Blue Star.”

...A voice with seductive temptation rose, causing the inherently cowardly monsters to abandon resistance, even actively stepping in front of the blood-red threads, opening their arms to embrace the blood threads.

”I am willing to give everything for the great Blood River!”

”I shall become part of the Blood River, achieving supreme honor for the mother star!”

”I will be the vanguard in attacking Blue Star, paving the way for my clansmen!”

...

Besides those brainwashed by the will of the Blood River, willing to sacrifice themselves, some monsters refused to become the nourishment for the Blood River and rose in resistance.

A spider-like monster stood before the other monsters, raising its front two legs high,

”We’ve struggled so hard, slaughtering countless monsters and consuming vast amounts of blood food to reach today’s million Qi Blood Cultivation, and with just a little more time, I could ascend to divine level.”

”Divine level is within reach; I refuse to become nurturing for the Blood River and a sacrificed ant.”

”Even so, I must exert every effort on my behalf for a chance at life.”

After it finished speaking, the monsters before it roared, unwilling to accept such a stifling fate.

Furthermore, the monsters able to gather around this near Divine-level spider monster all had Qi Blood exceeding 8 million, nearing divine level.

Without such strength, they dared not resist.

The spider monster spoke again, ”I sense that around the altar, every thousand miles is a divine-level guard, but the one to the east is weakest in aura; we can break through towards the east, even if it’s divine-level, facing hundreds of near-divine-level beings, they might not withstand.”

With that, a group of monsters marched eastward.

Along the way, they evaded the blood-red threads that absorbed blood all around while making progress.

During this, they lost dozens of members and had several wounded.

Finally, after paying a painful price, they reached the eastern boundary.

Behind the miraculous blood-red barrier of the altar, a divine creature emitting dark green poison gas with a forked tongue stood before them, gazing at them with disdain.

Ever since hundreds of monsters began gathering and advancing eastward, the divine-level Snake King had already noticed them.

But in the eyes of a divine-level creature, even if they were hundreds of creatures with a million Qi Blood, even if they were beings just one step short of divine level, in his divine eyes, they were ants that could be crushed effortlessly.

The spider-like monster sensed the severe disdain from the divine Snake King, burning with fury, ”You only reached divine level a step before me; why don’t you become a sacrificial offering? Give me another year, and I too could reach divine level!”

The monsters beside it similarly cried out in anger, expressing injustice.

The divine Snake King sneered, ”Ants are ants; ants should accept their fate of being sacrificed!”
