I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 140 - 72: Huo Chang’s Great Opportunity, Inheritance from the Ancestors

As his perception with the Sacrificial Spirit deepened, Shen Can gained a more profound understanding of it. He sensed that the remnants of souls forming the Sacrificial Spirit might not merely be Human Race sacrifices captured by the Xiaoyang Race.

When he was in the Cyan Bird Race Territory, he saw Human Race individuals imprisoned by the Xiaoyang, each one numb, their eyes completely devoid of light.

The Human Race people weren't always like this at first; the Xiaoyang Race had long perfected a process for dealing with the Human Race.

In front of everyone, they would drag out and severely punish those who dared to resist. One person isn't much, but when hundreds or thousands are tortured to death before everyone's eyes, the remaining people are terrified.

Those of the Human Race who had their courage shattered were taken back to the Xiaoyang Race Territory to be buried alive. At most, they harbored resentment, but they couldn't possess the boldness to protect their Human Race Tribe.

When heading to Gufu Mountain to guide the remnants of Human Race souls, he indeed seemed to be guiding the ancestors of the Human Race.

The Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron hummed, and Huo Chang trembled all over.

In his not-so-strong Divine Sense, a grand battlefront unfolded.

On a vast wasteland, countless figures charged and killed, their blood gathering into streams. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

At the end of the battlefront was an enormous creature, half-concealed by a mist of blood, its scales like ravines, with black torrents flowing from between them, sweeping over the charging Human Race clan soldiers.

There were also beams of black light shooting through the sky like lightning, slicing through the paths of the Human Race clan soldiers, sending blood and bones scattering, and dyeing the entire world red.

Countless smaller Wild Beasts rushed out, crashing violently against the Human Race clan soldiers.

The war drums thundered like storms, the charge never ceased, and countless people rushed forward without pause.

Huo Chang felt his head splitting, yet he forced his Divine Sense to perceive this scene, watching humans and Wild Beasts continuously clash and collide.

Gradually, he felt an intangible war intent slowly merging with him.

...

In the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can was continually focused on Huo Chang's condition.

About half an hour later, Huo Chang suddenly slumped to the side, and Shen Can immediately caught him.

The Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron emitted a hum, and a wave-like ripple spread out, coalescing into a magnificent sound of killing.

Huo Chang woke up only the next day, feeling somewhat heavy and stifled.

"Clan Leader, how are you?" Shen Can quickly stepped forward to inquire.

After a long pause, Huo Chang spoke, "A mountain should accept the ancestral inheritance."

"Uncle Huo Shan can't do it," Shen Can responded, shaking his head. "He doesn't have your spirit, Clan Leader."

"I advanced to the Celestial Vein Realm too early."

Huo Chang's tone was melancholic.

As a Celestial Vein Martial Artist, one could nourish Divine Sense, but only after the Blazing Flame's rise did he, a Celestial Vein Realm Martial Artist, finally have enough cultivation resources for Divine Sense to be born.

Before this, for many years, he had no Divine Sense.

"When our Blazing Flame gets stronger, we might find treasures to stabilize the Clan Leader's foundation. For now, let's focus on the present."

Hearing Shen Can's reassurance, Huo Chang quickly gathered his thoughts, his gaze becoming firm.

"I have gained a strand of war intent."

"And comprehended a sword skill."

Mentioning this, Huo Chang frowned slightly. To convert the inherited knowledge into combat effectiveness and pass down as the tribe's essence, he needs considerable time for repeated comprehension.

"If there's anything you can't understand, you can talk to me, Clan Leader. Maybe I can help a little."

Shen Can wasn't trying to steal skills; he just wanted to assist Huo Chang a bit.

As the Clan Leader of the Blazing Flame Tribe, as the tribe continues to rise, if Huo Chang only has his previous realm and talent, it won't be enough.

A leader's realm, to some extent, carries the safety of the tribe.

With this ancestral inheritance, Huo Chang should be able to shore up his weaknesses in the short term, and achieving the status of an Upper-class Tribe shouldn't be difficult.

As for the Bo Division, Shen Can wasn't so sure.

Previously, Jifu mentioned that ascending from Tier Three Celestial Vein Realm to Tier Four Divine Treasure Realm is not just a matter of realm but also involves overcoming some significant challenges.

When he didn't have the Kui Ox Transformation, Shen Can didn't think much of it.

But as he advanced the Celestial Vein with the Power of One Hundred and Eight Desolations, he felt the flaws in the Human Race Martial Dao.

Such flaws only become more pronounced as the Martial Arts Realm elevates. Perhaps the challenge of advancing from Tier Three to Tier Four is related to the cultivation and observation of Wild Beasts.

Not to mention, Huo Chang's advancement to the Celestial Vein is only at the lowest level of the Power of Thirty-Six Desolations and has been delayed in the Celestial Vein Realm for many years.

These will all become hidden threats for advancing to the Divine Treasure Realm.

"Once I initially comprehend it, I'll let you take a look."

After speaking, fatigue overwhelmed Huo Chang.

This inheritance acceptance was like enduring an extreme impact on his not-so-strong Divine Sense.

Huo Chang rested temporarily, and Shen Can went to the Clan Hall.

Seeing Shen Can, Huo Qii spoke cheerfully, "Acan, you're out from the Ancestral Temple now. It's a good time to see our tribe's recent development."

"How is the situation with the clan soldiers and the Xiaoyang Race?"

"Small-scale skirmishes have never stopped, with mutual losses. On average, we bring back over a hundred Xiaoyang Race corpses each month."

The grand array for refining Xiaoyang Race flesh and blood had been entrusted to the disciples Huo Tuan and Huo Long, responsible for the follow-up refinement of the Xiaoyang corpses.

The Blood Pills produced were entrusted to the disciple Huo Yunn.

Huo Yunn was responsible for examining the bodies of the clan soldiers of the Blood Curse and Blood Sea squads, distributing the Blood Pills according to their physical conditions.

The Martial Artists consuming the Blood Pills generated evil qi several times that of normally cultivated clan soldiers.

Their eyes were blood-red, the evil qi making people avoid them, and they acted decisively and swiftly.
