King of Creation
Chapter 1719 - 1704: What Is There to Regret?
The moment that crystalline, shimmering green Blood Pearl emerged from Princess Changle’s forehead, Ye Zhen’s pupils abruptly contracted.
This drop of green, luminous Blood Pearl gave him a feeling of intense horror.
At first glance, it seemed like a rolling sea of blood rather than just a single drop of Essence Blood.
And the aura and radiance emitted by this Blood Pearl actually made Ye Zhen’s eyes ache sharply, as if he dared not look directly.
As for the other priests of the Barbarian Spirit Hall, they utterly dared not even glance at this drop of Essence Blood; the aura it emitted stifled their ability to breathe, drenching them in sweat like a rainstorm!
While Ye Zhen was in shock, both Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna and Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tumen Changyin simultaneously displayed expressions of sheer terror.
Tongna and Tumen Changyin are both Dao Realm experts, yet this single drop of Essence Blood horrified them so.
"You are mad!" Tumen Changyin shouted angrily, but his body was honest, surrounded by swirling Spirit Light, fully on guard.
"Changle, quickly take it back!"
Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna urgently pleaded, "Listen, quickly, take it back, such desperate measures cannot be used within the Ancestor God Temple, quickly take it back, everything can be discussed!"
"This drop of Essence Blood for Changle is not considered a desperate act! For the dignity of my Barbarian Spirit Hall, for the dignity of the Ancient God War Spirit we pay tribute to in my Barbarian Spirit Hall, Changle would offer not just one drop, but ten, even a hundred drops!"
As Princess Changle spoke, that drop of green luminous Essence Blood slowly floated behind her.
And not far behind Princess Changle was the altar of Holy Spirit Peak, paid tribute by the Barbarian Spirit Hall!
At this sight, Tumen Changyin’s expression became even graver, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, while cold sweat dripped from Tongna’s forehead.
"Changle, this Creation Spirit Blood hasn’t come easily either, wasting a drop will reduce the benefits you’ll receive in the future, it will take you hundreds or even thousands of years to make up for it!
No need, absolutely no need, take it back quickly!" Tongna hastily urged.
Ye Zhen’s eyes flickered with realization; this Essence Blood is Creation Spirit Blood, no wonder Tongna and Tumen Changyin are so tense!
The reason is simple - for the Ancient God War Spirit worshiped by the halls of the Ancestor God Temple, Essence Blood sacrifice is the most direct way to replenish their power.
However, the quality of the Essence Blood used for the sacrifice differs, and the benefits received by those Ancient God War Spirits also vary.
No matter how much Essence Blood from Human-Level Demon Beasts you offer, it likely pales in comparison to the usefulness of just ten pounds of Horned Dragon Essence Blood.
However, for those Ancient Gods who are severely injured and in slumber, offering ten thousand pounds of Horned Dragon Essence Blood is practically the same as not offering any.
This is why, even though the Ancestor God Temple worships so many Ancient Gods, none of them have fully recovered yet.
Because low-grade Essence Blood provides very limited benefits to those severely injured and sleeping, recovery can only be achieved through vast accumulation over the endless river of time.
But Creation Spirit Blood is different!
The power contained within Creation Spirit Blood is their power before they fell into a slumber due to severe injury; a single drop can provide them with benefits equivalent to decades or even centuries of Essence Blood sacrifices at the Ancestor God Temple.
It can certainly allow those Ancient Gods to erupt into power reaching half to one or two tenths of their peak strength in a short time, not to mention other benefits.
The combat power of Ancient Gods during the Ancient Times and early ages is astonishing, even unleashing just half of their power is beyond the capability of Dao Realm experts!
In other words, with the release of this drop of Creation Spirit Blood, Princess Changle already possesses the ability to deter these two Power Priests before her.
Ye Zhen knows that this Creation Spirit Blood is extremely important to Princess Changle, and cannot be easily wasted.
However, things have come to a head; the arrow is on the string and must be released.
If Ye Zhen were to persuade Princess Changle to stop, it might backfire instead.
At this moment, all Ye Zhen can do is resolutely support Princess Changle.
The attempts of Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna to stop did not take effect.
Princess Changle suddenly let out a cold laugh, "For the dignity of my Barbarian Spirit Hall, what is there to worry about a few drops of Creation Spirit Blood!"
"However, since Tong Daquan Priest has spoken, this palace must give you face! Make Tumen Changyin apologize according to the palace’s demands, otherwise..."
Princess Changle said no more, the Creation Spirit Blood controlled by her Divine Sense flew slowly yet firmly towards the altar of Holy Spirit Peak.
To everyone’s surprise, as the Creation Spirit Blood came within a thousand meters of Holy Spirit Peak, the previously quiet Holy Spirit Peak suddenly erupted with dazzling Spirit Light, trembling violently.
At that very instant, within Ye Zhen’s Innate Divine Soul, a mark belonging to Divine Archer Yiz Lie suddenly quivered inexplicably.
This inheritance mark is mutual; Ye Zhen can contact Divine Archer Yiz Lie and others through it, and they can also reach Ye Zhen, the Inherited Divine Messenger, this way.
However, it’s simply a method of establishing contact.
If Ye Zhen does not want to converse, the shuddering inheritance mark is futile.
Additionally, only War Spirits like Yiz Lie, whose injuries have recovered more than fifty percent, can actively contact Ye Zhen; those Ancient God War Spirits in slumber, no matter how hard they try, lack the strength to initiate connection with Ye Zhen.
The proactive communication from Divine Archer Yiz Lie caused Ye Zhen’s heart to stir.
With a shift of Divine Sense, a dozen finger marks suddenly changed shape at his fingertips, and a Blood Covenant condensed on his brow in an instant, whereupon a shadowy image of a Barbarian Clan War General wielding a Giant Bow appeared atop the radiant Holy Spirit Peak!
Who else could that Barbarian Clan War General shadow be but Divine Archer Yiz Lie!
The moment Divine Archer Yiz Lie appeared, he exclaimed with joyous surprise, pointing at Princess Changle’s drop of Creation Spirit Blood and shouted, "As long as you quickly offer this drop of Spirit Blood! No matter who you confront today, I will fight to the death!"
After saying this, Divine Archer Yiz Lie added, "Even against a Creation Realm Early Stage deity, I can fight! If I am overwhelmed, my lord can also use the power from this Spirit Blood to bestow partial divine power upon me!"
With the appearance of War Spirit Yiz Lie, Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tumen Changyin’s expression darkened further, dripping with potential anger.
A small and exquisite Bone Shield had already floated above his head.
Evidently, Divine Archer Yiz Lie’s words had frightened him!
Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna, sweating profusely, shouted angrily, "Who?"
"Who summoned out the War Spirit! Quickly send them back!" Tongna asked knowingly, while his gaze fixed fiercely on Ye Zhen.
The meaning was clear - he demanded Ye Zhen retreat and send back Divine Archer Yiz Lie!
With a cold snort, Ye Zhen stepped forward boldly, "Send them back? Sure! But first, let this old rascal apologize to this Inherited Divine Messenger!" In the final sentence, Ye Zhen pointed his spear at Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tumen Changyin.
