Chapter 1687: A Cruel Sacrifice (1/2)

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The surging turbid energies built a seemingly real bridge in the sky in the Realm of Shadow Devil.

The bridge, which emanated cyan, black, purple, and white light, seemed to form in the blink of an eye, and then stretch thousands of miles into the distant starry river.

Looking at the bridge that had been formed out of thin air, the experts who were discussing things passionately looked astonished.

Soon, something even more astonishing happened.

Figures suddenly appeared on the bridge, like glowing spheres that were as small as grains of rice.

The glowing spheres consisted of Seaspirits, Moonspirits, and members of the various minor races of the Void World.

Their bloodlines were mostly at the eighth and ninth grades.

There were only two early tenth grade grand monarchs among them.

Nonetheless, enveloped in spheres that glowed with cyan, black, and purple light, they were like lambs that would be slaughtered at any time, without the strength to fight back.

They were still alive, but something in their faces and their eyes that seemed to say… that they had already died.

Little by little, they flew over the bridge in the glowing spheres, and fell into the gorgeous passage leading to the Dark Abyss.

BAM! BAM!

The glowing spheres exploded one by one in the gorgeous passage.

Blood of various colors that was mingled with broken bones and viscera was thrown down into the depths of the passage to nourish the spirit plants and devil plants like sweet dew. They served as sacrificial offerings for the gate to the forbidden land.

Staring at the bridge, Dylan said with a dejected expression, “They’re grand monarchs and soldiers of the Seaspirits and Moonspirits. The bridge contains Grand Monarch Heaven Devil’s and Grand Monarch Bone Piercer’s flesh aura. I…”

A cluster of golden flames shot from his fingertips.

The glittering golden flames contained more than ten kinds of phoenix bloodlines, and a few drops of Blood Essence that were like golden diamonds.

BAM!

The golden flames exploded as soon as they touched the bridge of turbid energies.

A cold snort seemed to sound across the infinite starry river.

On the bridge, a ninth grade Moonspirit, who was wrapped in a blue glowing sphere and muddle-headed, seemed to suddenly sober up. She looked ahead and saw the Snow Devil, Dylan, and the ferocious people of the Doomed Star Sea, but she… only smiled sadly, as if she knew that these people couldn’t change their fate.

The Moonspirits, Seaspirits, and the other second-tier races of the Void World who had previously disobeyed the orders of the three outsider races had been defeated almost the moment they had been attacked.

After their home realms had fallen, all of their members had been imprisoned, their bloodline powers and soul awareness sealed.

Then, they had been sent here one by one.

“A Blood Sacrifice...” she thought inwardly as her heart was filled with bitterness. The moment she saw the entrance to the Dark Abyss, she realized that the three outsider races had imprisoned them instead of killing them on the spot so they could take them here and use them as sacrificial offerings.

WHOOSH!

Finally, the glowing sphere that bound her fell into the Dark Abyss, and terrifying streaks of light instantly crushed her body and soul in the gorgeous passage.

Right before her soul vanished, she seemed to find relief. “It’s finally over...”

Many glowing spheres, which surrounded members of the Seaspirits, Moonspirits, and the other minor races of the Void World, fell into the passage filled with gorgeous streaks of light. The flesh and souls of the vast majority of them perished in an instant.

A few of them whose bloodlines were not particularly strong weren’t instantly torn to pieces somehow.

No one knew if it was because they had special bloodlines, unusual treasures, or special souls.

They had thought they would die as well, but they fell unharmed through the gorgeous passage, and descended smoothly into the darkness, where the ‘gate’ was.

It was just that they were going to face countless devil plants and spirit beasts. It was not clear what their fate would be.

After a long while of silence, Yu Suying of the Profound Purity Palace said quietly to Nie Tian, “Looks like others are being sacrificed before us. However, it seems that not everyone dies distressingly. Some lucky ones can make it to the end of the passage.

“Those ones may have a chance to step into the Dark Abyss if they can survive the devil plants.”
