Chapter 1594: Chapter 1593: Nine Sea Dragons Like Nine Sea Gods

Blood sacrifice!

The Seashell Fairy mentioned these two words, and Ye Tianchen had heard these two unreliable sources, Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, mention it before. Some Divine Runes and Formations require a blood sacrifice to be activated or broken. The concept of a blood sacrifice is not difficult to understand; simply put, it involves using living beings to make offerings to a specific gap in a Divine Rune or Formation, allowing it to be opened. Even when some powerful Treasures are being refined, a blood sacrifice is needed!

Throughout the ages, the Martial Arts World has developed over billions of years, and there have indeed been numerous instances of blood sacrifice. Even to this day, blood sacrifice still exists. Although it is cruel and requires the sacrifice of life, sometimes even infants’ lives, blood sacrifices have never ceased in the Martial Arts World because the power gained through them is indeed formidable. This may be the truly cruel aspect of this world: to acquire and utilize its power, a blood sacrifice of blood and life is necessary!

Of course, in Ye Tianchen’s view, the Seashell Fairy’s perception is erroneous. The Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture was lifted from the Sea Domain by the Nine Sea Dragons and suspended in mid-air, its might intimidating the cosmos and suppressing the Heavenly Vault, leaving many dumbstruck. At the moment of realization, it seemed everyone understood that the Immortal Roc Nest Array was not set to open tomorrow, but right now. The allure of the Immortal Roc Inheritance is enough to drive the entire Martial Arts World into frenzy. If Earth had not evolved into its current isolated state, who knows how many powerful beings might come from various Star Domains to compete for the Immortal Roc Inheritance, potentially destroying the Galaxy where Earth resides!

Those who recklessly rushed toward the airborne Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture were instantly turned into a mist of blood, perishing with both body and spirit destroyed, unable to even utter a scream. To Ye Tianchen, it seemed this was not a means left by the shocking world Roc, nor a Formation set by it. To open this Formation, one must use such a brutal method of blood sacrifice. However, the Formation of this Immortal Roc Nest had not actually been activated; those people merely assumed it had been, sealing their own fates!

Why does Ye Tianchen dare to assert that the Formation of the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture does not require blood sacrifice to activate? It’s because what he comprehended was different from what other beings present understood. Ye Tianchen can assert that this shocking world Roc, which had awakened the Bloodline Power of the Immortal Roc, was certainly a creature of passion, not as savage and bloodthirsty as imagined. Otherwise, why would it leave its Inheritance behind? Why would it allow the Formation of the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture to open after ages? Ultimately, this shocking world Roc remains kind-hearted, unwilling for its Inheritance to be severed, or its comprehended Taoism to be inaccessible to future generations.

Otherwise, with the Divine Skills of this shocking world Roc, anyone daring to approach its nest would face destruction in both body and spirit. Considering the level of the shocking world Roc, unless a Supreme figure of the Emperor Realm were to come in person, who else could threaten it in the slightest? Even if it vanished across ages, the power that can dominate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is not something ordinary people can easily touch!

Roar!

Nine roars resounded as the Nine Sea Dragons, wielding the power to defy the cosmos, lifted the entire Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture from the Sea Domain and suspended it in mid-air, stunning everyone. No one expected that even these species who have thrived in this Sea Domain for generations didn’t foresee these nine stone pillars surrounding the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture, standing for god knows how many eras, were actually Nine Sea Dragons sealed within, astonishing everyone!

The power of the Nine Sea Dragons is utterly awe-inspiring, each having reached the Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, truly remarkable. The shocking world Roc’s skills could make Nine such powerful Sea Dragons willingly be sealed, becoming its servants, truly extraordinary!

Perhaps, to Ye Tianchen and Wang Luanxiang, this is not particularly surprising, seeing as the shocking world Roc had reached a height they could only look up to. Any miraculous feats are within logical expectations, yet to other races in this Sea Domain, it is utterly terrifying. All Nine Sea Dragons are at the Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, with one even on the brink of entering the Saint Realm—a discernible sensation unmistakable. It is no exaggeration to claim that during ancient times, a Sea God might possess such cultivation at most. In other words, the Sea Dragons sealed in the nine stone pillars are nine Sea Gods. A single Sea God is enough to command the Sea Domain and leverage terms with land-based Inheritance; what immense prestige is that? Nine Sea Dragons, nine Sea Gods together; even a Saint Realm expert would not dare to be nonchalant about them!

However, these Nine powerful Sea Dragons, Nine Sea Dragons capable of becoming Sea Gods, have been sealed by the shocking world Roc, becoming its servants. As the Immortal Roc Nest is about to open, these nine stone pillars shattered, the Nine Sea Dragons surging forth, becoming the laborers for the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture!

Bang!

A thunderous sound erupted; the Sea Domain where the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture resided seemed to undergo a world-shaking transformation as if the Heaven and Earth Laws were entirely different. The Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture suspended in mid-air, resembling a God poised to soar, striking the Nine Heavens above and shattering the Netherworld below, gazing arrogantly upon the Heavenly Vault, piercing through the universe. The Nine Sea Dragons coiled around, roaring and intimidating, making one’s skin crawl and intimidating anyone from easy approach!

”Is the Formation of the Immortal Roc Nest about to open?”

”The timing is off, this appears to be a gigantic opportunity. For us, it is an early chance to seize the lead!”

”It’s an opportunity, but it’s a chance of death. The Immortal Roc Nest Array is powerful. Who can break it? If it doesn’t open on its own, no one can force their way in. Even if it does open on its own, haven’t you seen the Nine Sea Dragons guarding the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture?”

”Indeed, the Immortal Roc Inheritance is tempting, but under these circumstances, anyone who approaches will be wiped out. We can only look on in despair...”

”Nine Sea Dragons, nine Sea Gods. To obtain the Immortal Roc Inheritance, one must defeat these nine Sea God-like powerhouses. Who can do that? Even those at the Saint Realm wouldn’t dare to say so!”

Indeed, as the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture hangs in mid-air and stabilizes, especially after the nine Sea Dragons roared together, awakening everyone, someone realized that the array of the Immortal Roc Nest hadn’t truly opened. Many had their Divine Souls enticed by the Immortal Roc Inheritance, lost themselves, and ended up crashing into it, dying utterly. At this moment, the nine Sea Dragons circle beneath the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture, roaring to deter those who wish to seize the Immortal Roc Inheritance. To obtain this inheritance, one must at least defeat these nine Sea Dragons without knowing what other dangers may lie ahead. But who can accomplish that?

”Hurry and look, now that the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture is hanging in mid-air, there’s a platform at its base, like a sacrificial altar. What’s on the altar?” Suddenly, someone asked in surprise, as if discovering something.

At the same time, Ye Tianchen, Wang Luanxiang, and Seashell Fairy also looked upwards. Indeed, as this person said, after the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture was lifted into mid-air, apart from becoming unfathomably sacred, a platform appeared where its feet stood, several tens of thousands of meters wide. At the center of this platform, something resembling a sacrificial altar seemed to rise, but unfortunately, no one could see what was placed on the altar. What kind of treasure could it be?

”Could it be that everyone is wrong, instinctively thinking that the inheritance of the Immortal Roc will appear in some kind of nest after the array is activated? But this is not the case. For a shocking world roc of this level, it has long transcended the realm of monsters and humans and is not just any average being. Its inheritance might be on that altar!” Wang Luanxiang mused to herself, seemingly having figured something out.

”You are quite smart. Indeed, the Immortal Roc Inheritance is on that altar. Whoever obtains it will gain Supreme Divine Power and soar to great heights!” Seashell Fairy said with a peculiar gleam in her eyes.

Ye Tianchen was momentarily stunned. As expected, he was right. The Sea Snail Clan definitely knew many secrets about the Immortal Roc Inheritance. But the Seashell Fairy had held back and hadn’t fully shared with them. It seems caution is necessary against the Seashell Fairy. Perhaps she might use some secret technique that could disadvantage him and Wang Luanxiang in the contest for the Immortal Roc Inheritance!

”When exactly will the array of the Immortal Roc Nest open...” Ye Tianchen asked, glancing at the Seashell Fairy.

”Soon!” Seashell Fairy replied sternly.

”I hope you can tell me the exact time or what the signs are. Otherwise, I can’t help you drive out the Giant Turtle Young Master and others. They’re not just any average beings either!” Ye Tianchen said coldly.

Seashell Fairy furrowed her brows. Ye Tianchen’s mind was indeed beyond her expectations. In front of him, her covert schemes seemed futile.

After looking at the Giant Turtle Young Master, Golden Crab Young Master, Tiger Whale Saint Child, and Cuttlefish Youth, all poised to make their move as soon as the Immortal Roc Nest Array opens to rush to the platform and seize the inheritance on the altar, Seashell Fairy finally said, after another glance at Ye Tianchen, ”The sign of the Immortal Roc Nest Array opening is when this world shows signs of a roc soaring across the sky, sweeping through the ages in its overwhelming might. Such manifestations will amaze everyone!”

”I see. Then we’ll wait for this moment, and rush to seize the Immortal Roc Inheritance immediately...” Wang Luanxiang said with determination in her eyes. (To be continued.
