I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself
Chapter 393 - 169: March to the Giant Mountain, the Purple Yun Giant Eagle
The massive body rolled down from the mountain, letting out a pained roar.
As it fell, the chaotic energy erupted outward, sweeping in all directions and echoing between the mountains.
Wherever it passed, it stirred up an intense, burning hurricane, uprooting ancient trees, dislodging giant stones, and causing sand and stones to fly, with Red Fire dancing.
Even after passing through the valley formed by dozens of surrounding peaks, it still flattened vast stretches of forest.
The majestic mountains lay dormant, birds and beasts hibernating, insects and ants silent.
Some nearby small wild beasts let out a single wail before being turned into blood mist by the violent energy.
The back of the giant beast collapsed, with several cracks extending from its back to its abdomen, deep enough to reveal bone, and blood gushing forth like a spring.
Every drop of blood was like a sparkling, blood-colored lake, not scattering but gathering drop by drop, igniting a golden flame.
Upon landing, the giant beast immediately licked back its flowing blood.
Seemingly concerned, the giant beast didn’t have time to fully collect the Blood Pearls scattered within the collapsing mountain body before quickly leaping skyward, riding the firelight.
"Such a terrifying Fierce Beast. The Giant Eagle that Master Ancestral Temple Keeper killed back in Three Fire Race City wasn’t as terrifying as this."
Inside a distant cave, a few figures lying at the entrance looked at the distant firelight with a look of trepidation.
"Could it be a Tier Five Wild Beast?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Earlier, they had crawled out of the cave and spotted the figure within the Fire Meteor.
This was a giant wild beast with nine tails and a single horn like a tiger, its entire body metallic in luster, and flames dancing at its side.
They weren’t lying down willingly; the terrifying pressure washing over them from afar was overwhelming.
Even hidden within a narrow cave, they were shaken by the energy, with blood constantly flowing through their mouths and noses.
Huo Qingg wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, eyes fixed on the distant collapsed mountain.
"Amiao, remember the way back? Bring people back to inform the clan."
As Huo Qingg spoke, the long-silent forest suddenly stirred with the roars of wild beasts and the cries of desolate birds.
"Everyone hide well!"
The clansmen within the cave reacted as well; the giant beast had left, and the other wild beasts frightened by it were now beginning to stir.
Roar!
The mountains roared as a black-haired hound, shaped like a hunting dog, suddenly leapt from a distant valley.
With a body over twenty zhang long, it kept leaping across the mountains, rushing quickly toward where the giant beast had fallen.
Yet, a figure was faster—above, a Purple Cloud Celestial Eagle swooped down directly from high in the sky.
At this moment, the quiet wilderness suddenly erupted with beastly roars, and pairs of eyes shone from all directions.
All locked their gaze on the place where the giant beast had fallen.
Even though the giant beast had already left, the aura it left behind made these wild beasts both terrified and covetous.
In their perception, there was lingering beast blood aura within the collapsed mountain body.
This powerful bloodline aura both instilled awe and desire.
If they could refine it into their bodies, their bloodlines would undergo transformation, and their power would increase.
This instinctively compelled the wild beasts from all directions to approach the location of the beast blood.
...
Boom rumble!
At this moment, as the Purple Cloud Celestial Eagle was about to dive into the ruins, the black-haired hound that hadn’t arrived yet shot two beams of light from its eyes towards the eagle.
The Purple Cloud Celestial Eagle, attacked, immediately bristled.
Purple light blazed on its wing feathers, slicing towards the black-haired hound with purple winds.
The two Tier Four wild beasts began to fight.
At this time, a Dragon Horn Centipede, three zhang in size, sped like lightning towards the collapsed mountain body.
Yet, before it could arrive, the Purple Cloud Celestial Eagle and the black-haired hound, who had just been fighting, turned and shook it out of the Stone-Breaker, dismembering it on the spot.
Boom rumble!
The mountains trembled more violently at this moment, and from further in the valley, fierce, violent auras surged forth, beastly roars echoing between the mountains.
Above, shadows appeared that were not limited to just one, each at least seven or eight zhang, and the largest spanning over twenty zhang wingspan.
On the earth, beast shadows charged wildly through the forests, unleashing tsunami-like surges of blood energy.
Before the Treasure Blood left by the powerful giant beast, Tier Three wild beasts forgot the pressure from the Tier Four wild beasts and rushed quickly towards the source of the Treasure Blood.
At this moment, a wild beast also passed near where Huo Qingg and his group were hiding.
Such close proximity naturally allowed it to sense the presence of Huo Qingg and the others.
"Charge out!"
At the moment when the wild beast’s breath blew into the cave, Huo Qingg decisively thrust a spear.
"Go!"
...
Blazing Flame River Valley.
Ancestral Temple.
The Spirit Woods that had migrated here with the Cyan Simurgh grew increasingly lush, flickering with specks of Spiritual Light, shielding the Ancestral Temple below.
Beneath the Spirit Wood, a small three-foot-high cyan tree swayed, its branches resembling jade without leaves, twisted and bearing three indistinct Cyan Light Spirit Bodies like fruits.
This small tree was the origin of the Little Spirit Race, from which they were born.
Beneath the Ancestral Temple was the tribe’s sole Primordial Vein, and after the Little Spirit Race were migrated here by Yan Ling, the entire tribe fell in love with the Spirit Woods.
On one trunk of the Spirit Woods, a Witch Medicine shaped like a small deer lay with a Witchcraft Copper Bell hanging from its neck, sleeping soundly.
Beneath the tree, amidst the shaded grass, various Witch Medicines emitted faint medicinal fragrances, all transplanted from Moon Cliff.
