Chapter 916 Sacrifice
"They... this is?"

Chu Mu turned to look at the leader of Changsheng Sect, his voice extremely suppressed.

He felt somewhat unfamiliar with this scene, but it also gave him some very bad associations.

In this world of cultivating immortals, there is no such thing as faith or sacrifice.

But the problem is, in such a strange world, demons sacrifice to demons...

And so pious...

"It's a sacrifice to... Him!"

The leader of the Changsheng Sect sighed and said in a voice transmission: "When I broke into Baishan City before, it was also a scene like this. But before I could check it out, the golden elixir demon stationed there directly detonated the spirit vein, and the world was in turmoil..."

"The heaven and earth are in turmoil, and He... seems to be paying attention..."

"But this kind of attention should be very weak. It is completely based on this altar and this sculpture. When the sculpture collapses and all traces are gone, the attention will also disappear..."

"I speculate that there should be no consciousness attached to the sculpture. If there is any abnormality, it will be alarmed and pay attention to it..."

"Moreover, as long as you don't enter the inner city, even with my divine sense, it is difficult to see this scene from the outside world. This piece of heaven and earth actively isolates all external prying eyes..."

"This should also be due to...His power, which cannot be seen or heard..."

After hearing this, Chu Mu understood a little, or even understood it thoroughly.

After all, the scene before him was not unfamiliar to him.

If the sculpture was replaced with a blade that carried his sword will and faith, and if the demons that worshiped and knelt devoutly were replaced with humans who practiced the way of sword will and faith...

Isn't this the Dawn of Faith system that he created in that virtual world to fight against the weird erosion?

"Demons... Heaven and Earth... Tian Yan..."

The general outline emerged in his mind, and Chu Mu seemed to understand a little.

These spiritual veins must be the hubs that accelerate the alienation of heaven and earth.

The power that accelerates the alienation of heaven and earth comes from the pious sacrifices of countless demons.

Even though the connection among them is much more mysterious than his belief system back then, the general structure must be similar. This hub place can even be regarded as the eye of the formation that accelerates the alienation of heaven and earth.

In other words, in order to break the strangeness of the accelerated alienation of heaven and earth, it is necessary to break or even destroy these key locations.

But the problem is that no one is sure whether there are deeper connections between these hubs, or whether the sculptures, altars, and spiritual veins in front of them have some unknown mysteries...

If we act rashly, we may alert the enemy, but if we end up making things worse, we may even add fuel to the fire...

Chu Mu raised his head and looked towards the sky. The sky above the altar seemed even darker than the outside world. The brown-red clouds were like a curtain of heaven that lingered all day long and became increasingly dense.

Dark clouds rolled in, evolving into myriad strange shapes. It seemed as if some kind of horrifying existence had descended upon this world, being worshipped by demons and enjoying the faith of countless demons.

Obviously, in order to truly glimpse the inner reality of this hub, it must be isolated from the connection with this world.

Otherwise, no one can guarantee what will happen given the mystery of the evolution of heaven.

After noticing the clues, the leader of Changsheng Sect decisively stopped testing him. He invited him here, obviously because he was concerned about this. Chu Mu looked carefully at the demon sculpture on the altar. As expected, when he looked closely, he saw a mist. The demon sculpture, which was originally clear, suddenly changed in the mist, like a combination of thousands of demons, and it seemed to have no fixed shape and could not be seen.

After just a quick glance, Chu Mu shifted his gaze and looked towards the towering altar under the sculpture.

The brown-red color of the whole body is obviously not its original color, but is caused by the strong smell of blood.

This can be confirmed from the thick layer of blood stains remaining under the altar.

The so-called altar and the so-called sacrifice are obviously blood sacrifices.

Offering blood to the ineffable...Him!

But...what is the purpose of blood sacrifice?

Could it be that such a being, like a demon, requires the blood and energy of living beings?
Chu Mu pondered secretly, and the scene of pious worship before him did not make him confused for too long, so he immediately resolved his doubts.

The demon sculpture standing on the altar was shaking slightly and suddenly, as if it were alive.

Dark clouds rolled over the sky, and amidst lightning and thunder, a faint divine power descended. One after another, brown-red air currents fell from the sky and sank into the bodies of the demons who were kneeling devoutly in the square.

As these reddish-brown auras descended, the cultivation auras of these demons increased visibly.

boom! boom! boom!
In the end, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Along with these dull roars, one demon after another crawling on the ground burst out with an uncontrollable powerful aura and pressure after their cultivation breakthroughs.

The fourth-level demon in the lead even directly crossed the threshold from the early fourth level to the middle fourth level. In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level jumped from the early fourth level to the middle fourth level...

At this moment, the two people who were hiding in the dark and watching looked at each other almost in tacit understanding. When their eyes met, they could see the disbelief in each other's eyes.

And at this moment, this strange phenomenon in heaven and earth has not ended.

The demons that gained great opportunities from this blood sacrifice were obviously more pious, and their crawling postures were more humble.

I don’t know when, but when the fourth-level demon in the lead shouted, it seemed as if some special sacrificial ceremony had begun.

The demons in the square screamed and shouted in unison, chanting some strange tones and characters with unclear meanings. The low humming sounded throughout the world, and in the end, it once again caused the celestial phenomena.

The sky was covered with brown and red clouds, thunder and lightning, and the celestial phenomena changed strangely, as if two great forces of heaven and earth were battling against each other. But soon, all the strange phenomena were obscured by the dark clouds and it was difficult to see even a little bit.

One after another, streams of brown-red light passed across the square, gathered on the altar, and then followed the countless mysterious patterns on the altar and sank into the towering demon sculpture.

The blood light gathered, and the demon sculpture seemed to be glowing with a faint blood light. In the dark, the suppression and rejection of outsiders by this world seemed to become even stronger.

These changes were extremely clear to Chu Mu and the other man who were in the inner city.

After just one sacrifice, thousands of demons in the square competed to break through their cultivation, and the suppression and rejection of heaven and earth became more obvious...

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, all of this would seem like nonsense!
The immortal way has been passed down for countless years, and whose practice is so simple?
Not to mention, who could have thought that a mere blood sacrifice could change the rules of heaven and earth?
