Chapter 152: Sacrifice and Blood Dream

A few days later.

On a stone mountain about a thousand meters high to the north of the Morning Radiance Source Clan.

A massive altar, about a hundred meters wide and eighty meters high, had been completely constructed.

At this moment, at the top of the altar.

A dense beam of light about ten meters in diameter shot up into the clouds.

It could be seen from over a dozen kilometers away.

Although the altar had been built in a short time, with the joint efforts of many powerful individuals, the framework, source power circuits, and energy supply were very stable, showing no signs of hasty completion.

Clearly, this altar was likely modeled after others.

At the foot of the altar.

The atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Numerous flags symbolizing nightmares and blood rustled in the hot wind.

Five divine envoys and two ancestral spirit powerhouses stood motionless like statues nearby.

Halfway up the stone mountain, fifty to sixty transcendent masters stood neatly arranged on both sides of the altar path.

At the foot of the mountain, there were a large number of high-level transcendents.

Each of these high-level transcendents wore neat metal armor, helmets, and boots. Their expressions were solemn and dignified as they stood guard on both sides of the path without moving, like sculpted guards.

The sacred ritual sense of sacrifice permeated the entire huge peak.

Even farther away, many members of the Morning Radiance Source Clan were gazing at the altar sacrifice from streets, windows, balconies, and rooftops.

During this time, they had also heard.

That the one who had easily defeated their clan's genius powerhouse "Guné Lawrence" was in truth a follower of a great existence.

And a more widespread rumor was known to almost everyone in their clan.

That this follower of the great existence would bring great revival to their clan.

And this sacrifice was the great beginning of that revival.

"Lord Guné, although this altar was built in a short time, its overall characteristics are strong, and this time we have also prepared many resources."

Saying this, Sogora Kadlec took out five transcendent storage bracelets. With a light wave, the five storage bracelets were sent before Guné.

Taking the five storage bracelets in hand, Guné gave a slight nod after a brief inspection.

Each of these five storage bracelets had an internal space the size of a castle hall.

The large transcendent world was far more advanced in making transcendent storage equipment than the Oya Continent, and the internal storage space was also much larger.

Inside the five storage bracelets were piled the corpses of various transcendent creatures.

Among them were powerful creatures at the transcendent master level, and even the remains of "divine envoy" level exotic beasts that made Guné's mind tremble.

"Fortunately, my Blood Sea is no longer the blood pool it once was."

"The Blood Sea has a very strong capacity; putting all these things into it will be more than enough." Guné thought to himself.

"Additionally..."

Saying this, Sogora Kadlec took out another ring.

"These blood crystals are from the two hundred sixth-order transcendents this time, and my blood crystal is also among them."

"Mm!"

Guné nodded slightly, then spoke softly.

"Sogora Kadlec, come up with me for the sacrifice!"

It was noon.

Heat waves rolled and surged, especially on this bare stone mountain top under direct sunlight; Guné felt the ground must be over a hundred degrees.

Fortunately, this temperature was harmless to Guné.

Soon, Guné and Sogora Kadlec reached the top of the altar.

Standing still, Guné's source power surged out and merged into the surging light pillar of the altar.

At the same time, Guné chanted softly: "Source of fear above the stars, immortal lord who reverses life and death, ineffable master of nightmares, hear my most devout call; I offer blood to serve you!"

As Guné chanted, the demonic sub-soul in the Blood Sea heard his call.

The blood enveloping the dominator's flesh gently stimulated the aura of the dominator's flesh, and the demonic sub-soul manipulated the blood to respond lightly to the call.

In an instant, the milky white light shooting into the clouds turned blood red.

The blood-red luster was so dense that a faint blood veil covered the surroundings.

At the same time, a terrifying aura spread from within the blood-red light pillar.

Guné felt no pressure.

But for the demigod powerhouse Sogora Kadlec beside him, Guné could clearly feel him bearing an invisible pressure, and even his divine power emanated faintly.

The divine envoys and ancestral spirit powerhouses by the altar, the transcendent masters halfway up the mountain, the large number of transcendents at the foot, and the many members of the Morning Radiance Source Clan watching from afar all changed their expressions solemnly.

They vaguely sensed that terrifying and great aura.

Some children, under this fear-inducing aura, were so frightened that they burst into tears.

Enduring the terrifying aura, Sogora Kadlec glanced at Guné.

He found Guné standing there as if nothing was wrong.

"Indeed, as a follower of the great existence, he is unaffected by the great existence's aura." Sogora Kadlec thought to himself.

Without delay, Guné began placing offerings on the altar.

With each offering, a flash of blood light, and the corpse disappeared.

Guné didn't need to exert effort; he just kept moving things out and placing them on the altar.

Guné was efficient, and the demonic sub-soul on the other side was also quick to receive.

One offering after another was continuously sent to the demonic sub-soul in the Blood Sea.

And the demonic sub-soul simply threw these corpses into its own Blood Sea.

In the churning Blood Sea, numerous tentacles surged out, dragging these powerful beast corpses to the seabed, then rapidly decomposing and absorbing them.

The absorption efficiency of the Blood Sea was quite high.

Guné clearly felt that with this batch of powerful offerings entering the Blood Sea, the Blood Sea immediately began to expand rapidly.

These seventh-order, eighth-order, and even ninth-order transcendent beast corpses were great nourishment for Guné's blood pool.

For Guné to obtain such things on his own would be extremely difficult.

But using the Morning Radiance Source Clan, he easily obtained a large number of beast corpses.

And in the future, beast corpses of this level would be continuously offered.

About ten minutes later.

All offerings were sacrificed, and Guné also threw the storage ring containing the blood crystals into the blood-red light pillar.

With a flash of blood light, the transcendent storage ring appeared in the demonic sub-soul's hand.

Then, after chanting a few words softly, Guné cut off the source power.

The dense blood color in the soaring blood-red light pillar gradually faded.

And the terrifying aura also gradually receded.

When the last trace of blood color disappeared from the light pillar, the terrifying aura had completely vanished from this world.

The sacrifice was over!

At this moment, all the transcendents who had witnessed the sacrifice breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, facing such a terrifying existence was too stressful.

If one were to directly face such a great existence, except for ancestral spirits and above, others would die at a single glance.

Guné also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, nothing went wrong."

Beside him, Sogora Kadlec's expression also returned to his usual wise and steady image of a sage.

"Lord Guné, how did the great master of nightmares feel about this offering?" Sogora Kadlec asked softly.

"Fairly satisfied." Guné nodded slightly.

"From now on, there will be three such sacrifices every source season, and the quantity and quality of offerings must steadily increase. I think that shouldn't be a problem, right?" Guné looked at Sogora Kadlec and said.

"Source season" was the season of the Saint Feather Dark Source Continent. One "source season" was roughly half a year on the Oya Continent. Three sacrifices per source season meant one sacrifice every two months.

"Three such sacrifices per source season is no problem at all." Sogora Kadlec nodded slightly.

This time, they had gathered the offerings somewhat hastily; in the future, three such sacrifices per source season would indeed be no problem for their clan.

After all, every few source seasons, large beast tides would erupt. Previously, they worried about the arrival of beast tides, but now they only wanted the beast tides to come sooner.

"Lord Guné, how long will it take for the master of nightmares to allow us to enter the Blood Dream World?" Sogora Kadlec then lowered his voice and asked.

The importance of the Blood Dream World was extremely high, so Sogora Kadlec's concern was not surprising.

"It won't take long. Once we return to the mechanical energy tower and rest a bit, it should be fine." Guné smiled lightly and said.
