Sacrifice!
It had been a long time since such an evil technique had appeared on the main road!
At least, this was the first time Victor had seen it in his two lifetimes!
In his previous life, Victor had only heard of this term when he was communicating with other players.
The reason why he could recognize it at a glance was that he had searched for relevant videos and reports on the Internet and had the fortune of seeing the demonstration of this technique.
And this evil technique had been demonstrated right in front of him.
Victor’s entire body froze on the spot.
“This… What the hell?”
“Could it be that the four sons of the Central Plains sacrificed their own lives in order to set up this spell?”
“No way!”
“Brothers, you guys are playing a little too hard!”
Victor could not believe it.
However, just as he was puzzled, he was shocked to discover the blood mark that was suspended in the air was gurgling out clusters of red and black blood.
The blood spewed out in four different directions. When it met the four sons of the Central Plains’ shriveled bodies, it entered their bodies.
Then, a strange scene started happening. The spiritual power of the four sons of the Central Plains, who had lost their breath of life, gradually recovered. They were showing signs of resurrection!
Their bodies continued to expand, their bones grew back, and their missing facial features also condensed again.
“This…”
“This…”
“What kind of cultivation technique is this?”
“This was not a sacrifice!”
“A sacrifice could not possibly allow a person to be reborn!”
Victor was shocked.
For the first time since his rebirth, he was facing a completely unknown power.
And the power was extremely strange and abnormally powerful!
Victor keenly discovered that the power of the four bodies was constantly rising. In just a few minutes, they had already reached the spiritual pedestal tier, and they were still rising!
“No…”
“This was impossible!
“The strength of the four children of fire couldn’t be this strong!”
“Moreover, this spiritual energy aura… The system couldn’t download it. This meant that these four bodies were no longer the four children of the Central Plains!”
“They were someone else!”
Victor’s pupils constricted.
The discovery made the suspicions in his heart grew even more.
“What kind of evil martial arts technique were these four guys using?”
“Could it be that they sacrificed their own lives not to maintain this great spell, but to summon other existences?”
“For example, four powerful cultivators?”
Victor kept guessing the truth of the matter in his heart.
However, at that moment, no one could answer his question.
After seeing the four balls of spiritual power in the air getting stronger and stronger, Victor had no way to deal with them.
At the same time, inside the heaven-sealing great formation, the Green Dragon Sword Spirit’s impact on the formation was getting stronger and stronger.
The entire formation was on the verge of collapsing. Sand and stones flew everywhere between heaven and earth. In the Heavenly Narcissus Lake Mystic Realm, dark clouds rolled, and huge waves that were thousands of feet were constantly crashing in all directions.
The spiritual power in the Mystic Realm leaked out, and a storm was about to come.
This continued for about four to five minutes when suddenly, “Crack!”
The sound of the formation breaking was heard.
Lines of cracks were visible on top of the entire formation and continued to descend.
Dozens of seconds later, the entire formation became like glass. With a crack, it shattered into pieces and collapsed with a bang!
“Roar!”
A dragon’s roar resounded in the sky!
The Green Dragon Sword Spirit was born!
“Hua!”
The surging water of the Heavenly Narcissus Lake rained down on the Green Dragon’s tail like a river. It left behind a huge wave that washed the entire forest of the Mystic Realm!
Victor looked at the falling water and did not stop. He sped up and ran into the distance.
In another direction that he did not notice, the Nine Revolutions Golden Lotus, which had already bloomed with a Golden Lotus pod, was wrapped in a ball of heavenly holy water and was laying in a low-lying puddle. No one noticed it.
When it landed, it was still graceful and continued to absorb the nutrients in the heavenly water. It was growing continuously.
“Coo, coo, coo!”
On the horizon, four bodies that had absorbed fresh blood and spiritual energy were bubbling like hot water.
After a long time, four old men in black robes appeared in the sky.
These four people were the ones who possessed the bodies of the four sons of the Central Plains and regained their lives.
They were the sect masters of the four sects of the Central Plains!
They were:
Divine Fire Sect: Fire Sect Master!
Sheungshui Sect: Water Sect Master!
Heavenly Wind Sect: Wind Sect Master![1]
Thunder Sect: Thunder Sect Master!
“Cough, cough, cough…”
“It’s been fifteen years… We’ve been planning this day… We’ve been looking forward to this day for fifteen years!”
“Today, we’ve finally released the spirit of the Green Dragon!”
“Hahaha!”
“Green Dragon Sect, today is the day you destroy your sect!”
The elder of the Fire Sect laughed loudly. Clusters of lotus-shaped flames surged out of his body!
The flames soared into the sky!
The spiritual energy contained within it had reached the core formation realm!
Plus, it was even more profound than the strength displayed by the person in the spiritual sky!
However, as he let out a long howl, Victor discovered that the old man’s skin was terrifyingly shriveled. His old skin was full of potholes and wrinkles.
There were even a few black scars that looked like burn marks on his face.
“Could it be that this fellow has cultivated some kind of demonic technique that allowed him to cultivate to such a ghastly state?”
Victor’s heart palpitated.
However, at that moment, the Water Sect elder beside him opened his mouth to speak, “Big Brother, use your spiritual power to control yourself. This time, we possessed the lives of four disciples of the sect. Only then were we able to deceive Master Lingkong and come to the Heavenly Narcissus Lake Mystic Realm.”
“And this possession cannot recover all of our strength. Once our spiritual power reserves are exhausted, it will be extremely difficult to recover in a short period of time.”
“As for this Green Dragon Sword Spirit, although it has been sealed for many years and currently only has the strength of the core formation realm, but…”
“As the saying goes, it’s best to be careful in all things.”
“For this plan, we’ve sacrificed countless times. This time… We can’t fail…”
The Water elder reminded him out of kindness.
The Fire elder looked a little displeased after hearing his advice, but he still withdrew the spiritual power that he released. He then slowly calmed down.
In the distance, after Victor heard the high-pitched conversations of those people, the many doubts in his heart eased slowly.
“So that’s how it was.”
“These people had possessed the lives of several juniors. They then used some secret method to hide their strength and finally disguised themselves as the four sons of the Central Plains. Only then did they hide from Master Lingkong and sneak into the Heavenly Narcissus Lake.”
“I told you…”
“Why did the four sons of the Central Plains have expressionless faces and no signs of life on their faces? Furthermore, their strength had increased greatly in a short year, and they even set up a spiritual pedestal tier grand spell.”
“So…”
“The real four sons of the Central Plains had died a long time ago!”
“These four guys! Their true identities… They are the ancestors of the four sects of the Central Plains!”
Victor thought through all of it. When he looked at the four people on the horizon again, there was a hint of cold killing intent in his eyes.
For the sake of their goal, they had sacrificed the lives of the junior members of the sect.
Such a sect was simply worse than a beast!
Killing intent suddenly appeared on Victor’s body.
Although Victor did not know why the four old geezers let the Green Dragon out, these four guys had already been sentenced to death in his heart!
