The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 408 Humane Sacrifice, Great Changes in the Long River

Li Dao Yu, the capital of Taiyi.

Across the vast land, the earth veins meander like a soaring dragon, and the spiritual veins interweave into a network like the veins of life, spanning billions of miles of mountains and rivers, forming a magnificent network of earth veins.

The underground network and the magic circle merged into one, and a transparent barrier rose into the air, like an upside-down sky, covering billions of miles.

The huge city stands majestically in the center of the sky, like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling, sacred and majestic.

The city walls are indestructible, runes are shining, silver-armored soldiers stand in rows, their energy and blood are as bright as the sun, gathering into a surging blood cloud, and the iron-blooded murderous aura is shocking.

In this city, the long river sacrifice of humanity's fortune is about to begin, and sacrifices will be made to heaven and earth in order to pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

On the day of sacrifice, an ancient and solemn altar stood in the center of the imperial city.

Surrounded by the pious gazes of hundreds of millions of people, the air is filled with solemnity and awe.

At dawn, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone onto the altar, shining with golden light, as if it was the manifestation of the will of heaven and earth.

In the center of the altar, there is a sacrificial pool carved from ancient bluestone, filled with clear spiritual liquid. This is the energy of the dragon veins of the world, condensed over thousands of years, and is called the elixir of humanity.

With the sound of a distant and deep bell, the sacrificial ceremony officially began.

Wang Yi, wearing a nine-chapter dragon robe and a twelve-tassel crown on his head, stepped onto the altar with steady steps.

Behind him, civil and military officials stood in line, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding jade tablets in their hands, with solemn expressions.

After ten years, the Taiyi Dynasty finally unified the entire Lidao Region.

With a steady supply of supplies and a complete and uninterrupted system of officials being built up, the war-torn Li Dao Yu has regained its vitality and is more orderly and prosperous than ever before.

Under the law of the virtual world, the elderly have someone to rely on, the young are raised, education is compulsory, the laws are strictly enforced, public opinion is guaranteed, and the continuation of the human race has a foundation.

The Taiyi Dynasty made careful preparations for this sacrifice for ten years, doing everything to ensure that everything went smoothly.

On the viewing platform, all the people who came to watch the ceremony suddenly focused their eyes and looked at Emperor Yi who was slowly walking up to the altar.

To this day, no one dares to look down on Emperor Yi in the slightest.

Five years ago, the Swordfall Holy Land of Qi Daoyu colluded with the four tribes of gods, demons, monsters and ghosts to launch a surprise attack on the capital of Taiyi.
In that raid, twenty half-step masters were dispatched, and three forbidden weapons refined by great masters were used.

But in the end, such a big battle did not cause any waves, and all the attackers were killed. The name of Emperor Yi became famous throughout the world after this battle.

Since that battle, the Taiyi Dynasty seemed to be blessed with great luck, and nearly thirty half-step masters were born one after another, causing many forces to feel wary and fearful.

Now, these nearly thirty half-step great powers are stationed in the capital of Taiyi. Even if they have never shown up today, this news alone is enough to dispel any bad thoughts in anyone's mind.

Li Qingxuan's long black hair was tied up and fixed with an antique wooden hairpin. A few strands of hair fell on both sides of her cheeks, adding a bit of unrestrained and unruly style.

He has a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, which are deep and smart, revealing a sense of intelligence and transcendence. His loose moon-white Taoist robe flutters in the wind, tied with a dark blue ribbon, and black cloth boots on his feet, which are neat and tidy.

Shakyaye holds a string of ancient prayer beads, wears a bright red cassock, and wears a pair of black cloth shoes. His face looks kind and peaceful.

The two stood side by side in front of the viewing platform, sitting side by side with the leaders of various major forces, and their aura was not inferior in the slightest.

Behind him, powerful men with profound auras sat, gazing at the emperor on the altar with cautious eyes, and everyone's heart was filled with awe.

Wang Yi stepped onto the altar, and every step seemed extremely heavy, as if he was carrying the fate of the entire human race. His eyes swept over everyone present, and his deep eyes were filled with the pressure of an emperor, making everyone who looked at him lower their eyes consciously.

The runes around the altar began to flicker, and the elixir of humanity created ripples in the sacrificial pool, as if it had life.

"The auspicious time has arrived!" Zhuge Wulong looked solemn as he handed the sacrificial long knife and sacrificial jade disk to Emperor Yi.

Wang Yi took the sacrificial long knife and sacrificial jade disk from Zhuge Wulong. He closed his eyes and concentrated, as if communicating with the long river of human destiny and feeling the will in the dark.

Suddenly, Wang Yi opened his eyes, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He raised the sacrificial knife high and swung it down suddenly. The tip of the knife pierced into the sacrificial pool, causing ripples visible to the naked eye.

"The universe is vast, the stars are long, our dynasty was founded, we received the mandate of heaven, and we received the grace of humanity. Now that we are in the midst of a catastrophe, I would like to use this article to pay tribute to humanity..."

"May humanity forever bless our dynasty, and bring peace and prosperity to our people, good weather and good harvests, and eternal prosperity. As this sacrificial text is completed, I hope the gods of heaven and earth, and the spirits of our ancestors, will witness it together."

Wang Yi stood by the sacrificial pool, holding up the jade disk and chanting the ancient sacrificial text.

It is a spell passed down from ancient times, containing the highest respect for humanity, the universe, and all things.

As the sacrificial text echoed, the air around the altar began to fluctuate, and the faint sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes could be heard. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became rich, as if connecting the past, present and future.

In an instant, a crack appeared in the sky, and a dazzling river appeared from nothingness, spanning the sky. That was the river of human destiny.

In the long river, the light is flowing and colorful, and each ray of light represents the destiny of countless human beings. They converge into a river, magnificent and majestic, reflecting the rise and fall, joys and sorrows of the human race.

After Wang Yi finished reciting the sacrificial text, he threw the jade disc in his hand into the sacrificial pool. The jade disc instantly turned into a dazzling light, shooting straight into the sky and sinking into the long river of human destiny.

At that moment, the long river seemed to be summoned, and warm and majestic power was separated from it, turning into rain of light, spreading all over the entire Lidao Realm, penetrating into every inch of land, every leaf, and even the heart of every human being.

This is a blessing from humanity and proof of the resonance between the Taiyi Dynasty and humanity.

At this sacred moment, everyone was immersed in indescribable shock and emotion.

But at this moment, something strange happened!

The long river of human destiny, which had been flowing peacefully, suddenly began to ripple with strange black ripples. These ripples spread rapidly, and wherever they reached, the originally bright light was swallowed up by darkness, and the entire long river seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

Wang Yi's expression instantly became extremely solemn, his eyes fixed on the spreading black ripples.

At the same time, the people on the viewing platform also noticed something strange.

Li Qingxuan and Shajiaye looked at each other, and a trace of vigilance flashed in their eyes. The aura around them surged slightly, ready to deal with any possible crisis at any time.

The leaders of various forces, as well as the strong men from various forces, who had come to watch the ceremony, all stood up with solemn expressions on their faces.

Some timid people even began to retreat quietly, trying to stay away from the possible storm.

"Be careful! It's the evil demon from outside the domain!" someone shouted in horror.

"Impossible. The evil demons from outside the domain were just repelled not long ago. How could they come back so quickly?"

"With Li Daoyu's Jiuzhou barrier and the virtual world's magic network, even if the evil demons from outside the domain want to break through, they will have to work hard." Some people also raised doubts.

"It could be the work of the four races of gods, demons, monsters and ghosts again!"

“And this time, the evil demons from outside the domain actually broke into Li Dao Domain by borrowing the long river of human destiny. Obviously, some human traitors were involved in this. Damn it!”

"The four clans have been severely damaged after several failures. They dare not easily provoke Emperor Yi in the short term, right?"

…Everyone was talking about it, but no one could give a reasonable explanation.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The originally calm river of humanity's destiny suddenly began to ripple with blood, and a blood shadow emerged from the depths of the river, baring its fangs and claws, and making a creepy roar.

"Be careful! It's an evil demon from outside the domain! Immediately evacuate the people, seal off the years and time, and limit the strange infection!" Zhuge Wulong's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly.

Wang Yi frowned tightly, and without any hesitation, he waved his hand to send away the hundreds of millions of people watching the ceremony and the civil and military officials around the altar. With a thought, the magic net emerged, the formation pattern spread, and in the blink of an eye, this piece of time and space was isolated.

“Hiss…” The blood shadow stretched out its huge tentacles and grabbed towards the sacrificial pool. Wherever it passed, the light of the long river of humanity was distorted.

Wang Yi reacted quickly. He activated the Five Tai Dao Fruit, and brilliant Dao fire bloomed around his body, heading towards the tentacles of the blood shadow.

The moment the Dao Fire came into contact with the tentacles, a sizzling sound was heard and bursts of black smoke emerged.

"The evil demon from outside the domain must be killed!" An ancient bronze lamp appeared between Wang Yi's eyebrows, and the sacrificial long sword flew into his hand shining with golden light. He swung the long sword and slashed at the blood shadow.

The blood shadow seemed to feel threatened, its tentacles quickly retracted, and its figure began to become blurred.

The next moment, the blood shadow suddenly split into countless tiny blood lines, shooting towards Wang Yi from all directions.

These blood lines are extremely fast and carry corrosive power. Once hit, the consequences will be disastrous.

Dao patterns flickered all over Wang Yi's body. An ancient bronze lamp flew out from between his eyebrows and hung above his head, sprinkling Dao fire all over the sky, burning all the blood lines.

"Ancestral weapon!"

"The rumors are true! Emperor Yi has been recognized by the ancestors of mankind, and will definitely ascend to the throne of the emperor of mankind in the future."

“I never expected it, I really never expected that Ren Zu and his people would think so highly of Emperor Yi that they would actually pass down the ancestral weapon!”

……

When the people on the viewing stand saw this scene, they all stood up in shock.

"Everyone is allowed to kill the evil demons from outside the domain! Kill!"

Li Qingxuan leaped up with a sword in his hand and jumped onto the altar. The sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and the sword energy was rampant, cutting off the approaching blood lines one by one.

A man from the Dao Sect followed closely behind him, and together they set up a large formation to fight against the evil demons from outside the domain.

“Good, good…” Shakyaye put his hands together, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and a ray of Buddha’s light emanated from his body.

"Amitabha..." A group of old monks behind him chanted in unison. The brilliant Buddha's light gathered into countless swastika symbols, filling the void, which hindered Blood Shadow's movements to a certain extent.

"How can we allow evil demons to run rampant in the human race's territory? Kill them!"

"Killing the evil demons is the righteousness of the human race! Everyone, I will kill the demons!"

……

The leaders of various major forces also took action, some cast spells, some used magic weapons, and attacked the blood shadow.

For a moment, the sky above the altar was shining with light, and various spells and magic weapons were intertwined, launching a fierce battle with the blood shadow.

"Boom boom boom..."

Under the full force of the crowd, the blood lines around the blood shadow were constantly shredded, but it still resisted stubbornly, and each attack became more and more fierce, as if it was completely enraged. The roar became louder and louder, shaking the void and constantly distorting it, and cracks spread like spider webs.

Wang Yi's eyes were solemn. He keenly realized that the source of Blood Shadow's power was actually closely connected with the black ripples in the long river of humanity's destiny, as if its roots were deeply rooted in the long river of destiny to draw strength.

He knew very well that if this strange connection was not cut off, the battle would never end.

"The roar of the white tiger - Tai Shi's killing!" Wang Yi mobilized all his magic power, the light of the Five Tai Dao Fruits shone brightly, and the Gengjin Law between heaven and earth responded accordingly.

"Roar!" A roar like the sound of golden swords came from the west, and a white tiger as big as a mountain took shape, tearing through the void with its claws, and rushed into the long river of human destiny to kill the blood shadow.

The white tiger, carrying the murderous aura of Gengjin, slammed fiercely into the blood shadow.

The blood shadow let out a shrill scream, the sound seemed to be able to penetrate the soul, causing the hearts of everyone present to tremble.

However, Blood Shadow was not completely defeated by this attack. Instead, his severely injured body was rapidly reorganizing itself. The split blood lines became thicker and madly coiled around the White Tiger.

The white tiger struggled hard, its golden hair gradually dimmed under the entanglement of blood, and its strength seemed to be constantly weakened and eroded by this strange blood shadow.

At the same time, Li Qingxuan and the Dao Sect's sword formation also fell into trouble.

As Blood Shadow's attacks became more and more fierce, some Taoist disciples in the sword formation began to be injured, and their Taoist robes were stained red with blood.

"Dao Zong sword formation, reverse the situation!" Li Qingxuan shouted, the long sword in his hand shone brightly, and the sword formation was instantly reversed. The sword energy that was originally directed outward now all gathered inward, forming a defense while strangling the thousands of blood lines scattered throughout the void.

However, Blood Shadow was not willing to be outdone. Its power continued to increase, and cracks began to appear on the sword energy in the sword formation, threatening to collapse at any time.

On the side of Sakyapa and a group of old monks, although the Buddha's light was still bright, the power of the blood shadow seemed to have a special resistance to the Buddha's light, and the suppressing effect of the Buddha's light was getting weaker and weaker.

The swastika symbol was constantly broken by the blood shadows, the old monks' chanting began to become hurried, and their breathing became increasingly unstable.

"Emperor Yi, think of a solution quickly! The evil demons from outside the domain are constantly absorbing the power of the long river of humanity's destiny. If the connection between the two is not broken, their strength will become stronger and stronger!" A white-haired leader of a force reminded loudly.

"The evil demon's aura is getting stronger all the time. Even if it suffers severe damage, it will recover quickly. Unless we kill it with one blow, we will be in trouble!" Someone saw the seriousness of the problem and his voice trembled.

"Everyone, try harder! Although this evil demon is strong, we must not retreat!" A leader of a force holding a huge axe shouted loudly. He swung the axe violently, and a huge axe blade whizzed out, slashing towards the blood shadow with the momentum of splitting everything.

After hearing this, everyone could only grit their teeth and continue attacking.

Everyone knows the terrible cruelty of the evil demons from outside the domain.

Anyone who encounters evil demons from outside the domain will end up dead, without exception, unless they can escape or destroy the evil demons by relying on their own strength.

The blood shadow suddenly let out a sharp scream, and then its body expanded rapidly. Countless rays of blood spurted out from its body, forming a blood-red light curtain that enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Oh no, what is this evil demon doing?" Li Qingxuan's face changed drastically, and he felt an unprecedented dangerous aura coming towards him.

Wang Yi also felt tremendous pressure in the blood.

The blood light seemed to have life, constantly corroding the Dao Fire, trying to devour his power.

"Use your body as a lamp to illuminate the eternal night!"

Wang Yi activated the ancient bronze lamp, and the Dao fire became hotter and hotter, forming a sea of ​​fire, temporarily blocking the blood light and protecting everyone. (End of this chapter)
