Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System
Chapter 479 - 401: Master, When You Die, Can You Leave the Blood God Sect to Me?
After completing all preparations, the preliminary setup for the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony was thoroughly ready.
Su Yuan and a group of Blood God Sect upper echelons retreated to the edge of the altar, waiting reverently for the ceremony to begin.
Blood Soul True Monarch stood at the center of the altar, holding the Crown of Corruption with both hands, solemnly placing it on his head like a king being crowned.
As soon as he donned the Crown of Corruption, a subtle connection formed between him and the entire altar, allowing him to transform all living things within the altar into resources for his enhancement at any time.
At this point, the ceremony was ready to commence, but what surprised the Blood God Sect upper echelons was that their Sect Leader turned his gaze towards two disciples.
"Su Yuan, Xiaomo, come stand by my side."
"Standing next to me, you will witness the most authentic process of the ceremony from the closest vantage point."
Blood Soul True Monarch spoke softly, his authoritative eyes showing undisguised admiration for the two disciples, as if beholding the most precious treasures in the world.
Witnessing this scene, the Blood God Sect upper echelons cast envious glances at Su Yuan and Motis.
Evidently, they had no awareness of Blood Soul True Monarch’s true intentions.
Su Yuan’s face appropriately displayed excitement, as he and Motis proceeded to the center of the altar, internally complaining:
"Old Deng is really putting on a show; anyone unaware would truly think he’s concerned about his disciples."
"However, I didn’t expect Blood Soul Old Deng to intend to drain both mine and Motis’s talents in one go; I thought he had some affection for Xiaomo. Seems like I overestimated."
"Even if I didn’t show up, Motis would have suffered in this Blood Sacrifice Ceremony... Fortunately, everything is within controllable limits."
Motis’s heart was similarly stirred, for just yesterday, Su Yuan had discreetly conveyed to her the details of the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony.
Regrettably, even with advance knowledge, she couldn’t devise an effective response.
Fortunately, Su Yuan assured her that everything was under control, relieving her of worry.
Standing side by side with Motis next to Blood Soul True Monarch, Su Yuan recalled a matter he had been pondering for some time.
How to subdue the entire Blood God Sect and complete the [King of the Sea of Law] task.
Given that a Demon Sect with a Nascent Soul True Monarch guarding it can’t be subdued by conventional means, Su Yuan hardly had any hope of succeeding.
However, on such a special occasion, Su Yuan considered a shortcut.
He looked up, wistfully gazing at the Crown of Corruption atop Blood Soul True Monarch’s head, and earnestly said:
"Master, if you ever achieve Divinity Transformation, wouldn’t the Crown of Corruption be useless to you? Could you pass it on to me then?"
Blood Soul True Monarch glanced at Su Yuan, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Already coveting the sect’s treasure just after apprenticing? Quite ambitious!
But considering this cheeky disciple’s imminent fate, his displeasure dissipated, and he chuckled:
"Silly child, under the Holy Law Governance Council’s radiance, we aren’t qualified to aspire for the Divinity Transformation Realm. Contentment for me is maintaining at this Nascent Soul Peak."
Su Yuan nodded and eagerly asked: 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Then Master, after you die, could you pass the Crown of Corruption and the Blood God Sect to me?"
Blood Soul True Monarch: "..."
Young people nowadays are so ambitiously inflated? Acting over?
Thankfully this kid is merely a consumable; if he were truly my successor... unthinkable!
"Hmm, alright, after I’m gone, everything will be yours."
Blood Soul True Monarch, eager to start the ceremony, casually brushed it off and said:
"Alright, ask your questions after the ceremony ends; don’t delay the hour."
Su Yuan obediently remained silent, cheerfully glancing at the system panel.
[Task Progress: Blood God Sect Subordination (100%/100%)]
[Task One: King of the Sea of Law (Completed)]
[Task Reward: Corruption Crown Refining Technique! (Available for claim)]
Indeed, tasks from the dog system shouldn’t be completed step by step; finding loopholes is the way.
See, after getting personal confirmation from the Blood God Sect Leader, hasn’t the Blood God Sect become rightfully mine?
Though it’s a future unfulfilled promise, as long as I’m alive, this promise will be realized sooner or later, at least the dog system seems to think so.
I don’t know what specifics are involved in the Corruption Crown Refining Technique; unfortunately, time is tight, and there’s no room to claim and digest this reward now.
Su Yuan closed the system panel and quietly waited.
Only a few breaths later, Blood Soul True Monarch made a move.
Standing by his side, Su Yuan could distinctly sense Blood Soul True Monarch’s Nascent Soul Stage’s vast mana, like an endlessly flowing river, pouring into the Crown of Corruption.
This gold-and-red interwoven crown erupted with dazzling blood light, instantly enveloping the entire altar.
But in the next second, the blood light suddenly contracted, solely enveloping Su Yuan and Motis.
This scene left the Blood God Sect upper echelons watching the ceremony astonished.
For with their experience, they knew that whoever stood under the Crown of Corruption’s blood light would become the sacrifice in the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony.
So what is happening now?
The fifty thousand citizens aren’t sacrifices; the Sect Leader’s two disciples are?
Is he really planning... to consume his disciple to achieve his own Dao?
Realizing this, even though all the high-level Blood God Sect members present were notorious murderers, they involuntarily felt a chill within their hearts.
Even a tiger won’t eat its cub... Sacrificing his own disciple, wouldn’t these Blood God Sect high-level members be abandoned at any moment?
For a moment, the loyalty of these high-level members wavered.
But Blood Soul True Monarch completely disregarded them; as long as his own power was strong enough, no one would dare betray him.
"My disciples, I will carry your will and talents to ascend the throne of Divinity Transformation."
"This is your honor, I hope you can understand the teacher’s difficulties."
Blood Soul True Monarch lowered his head, gazing at his two direct disciples who were showing shock, with a smile that seemed gentle but was actually grim and cold.
"Master, you... you actually..."
Su Yuan’s voice was both shocked and angry, looking as if he had been betrayed.
Seeing this scene, Blood Soul True Monarch’s mouth slightly curled up, and he intensified the activation of the Crown of Corruption to accelerate the ceremony.
But in the next moment, Su Yuan’s look of shock and anger suddenly vanished, replaced by a smile:
"You’re working so hard to activate the Crown of Corruption for me, saving me a great deal of spiritual power cost, thank you very much."
As the words fell, in the frozen gaze of Blood Soul True Monarch, Su Yuan raised his hand and casually waved.
In the next instant, the Crown of Corruption above his head actively flew upward, heading towards Su Yuan, like a homing swallow, joyfully landing on Su Yuan’s head.
Su Yuan waved his hand, and the Tribulation Moon Pearl hidden in his wrist spilled out a vast amount of blood, flowing into the array patterns on the altar’s surface.
The blood-colored array patterns fluctuated, and the newly added blood water rapidly spread, overflowing the altar and transforming into an array pattern with a broader scope.
In a blink of an eye, it covered the Blood God Sect high-level members around the altar.
At the same time, the blood light that had locked onto Su Yuan and Motis suddenly shifted target.
Beams of blood light shot out from the crown, falling on hundreds of Blood God Sect high-level members in the audience, and also on... Blood Soul True Monarch himself.
"The Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, begins."
Su Yuan spoke indifferently, and the blood light covering the high-level Blood God Sect members and Blood Soul True Monarch himself suddenly exploded with extremely terrifying suction, extracting their vital essence and cultivation.
Earlier, the Crown of Corruption had stored nearly seventy percent of Blood Soul True Monarch’s mana within.
With the support of this enormous mana, the terrifying effect of the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony was enough that even Blood Soul True Monarch, with Nascent Soul cultivation, could not resist.
However, a Nascent Soul is a Nascent Soul, even when locked by the Crown of Corruption, Blood Soul True Monarch still maintained most of his capacity for action.
At this moment, his eyes had become extremely cold, his tone filled with murderous intent:
"Su Yuan, from the moment I met you, I suspected your motives were impure, but I didn’t expect you to be audacious to this extent, daring to covet my Crown of Corruption!"
"What you’ve done is indeed clever, up to now I hadn’t sensed anything, but... do you think just because you secretly control the Crown of Corruption, you can control the entire situation?"
"The gap between Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul cannot be solved by a single magical treasure or some petty tricks!"
"Die!"
Before his voice even finished, Blood Soul True Monarch pointed with a finger, and a finger force, fast to the extreme and filled with destructive power, shot toward Su Yuan’s head.
This single finger, enough to destroy any Golden Core cultivator under the Blood God Sect, and this direct head-targeting attack could instantly eradicate the target’s soul, thereby annihilating their form and spirit, truly a fatal strike.
In Blood Soul True Monarch’s view, under this attack, Su Yuan had no chance of survival.
However, unexpected events still occurred.
Despite the finger force being extremely fast, almost instantaneously appearing at Su Yuan’s head, Su Yuan still managed, with an eerily high-speed maneuver, to tilt his head, easily dodging the blow.
What? How is your head so sensitive, kid?
Blood Soul True Monarch was momentarily stunned.
And just in this pause, the Crown of Corruption began its true effect.
Dozens of Foundation Establishment high-level Blood God Sect members were drained of all their vital essence and cultivation, and through the transformation by the Crown of Corruption, they turned into the purest force, pouring into Su Yuan’s body.
Su Yuan’s cultivation instantly soared at a horrifying speed.
Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, Peak of Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer...
Golden Apples grew one after another from the Senluo Spirit Root within Su Yuan’s Dantian, then cracked themselves, integrating into the Senluo Spirit Root, nurturing the ultimate Divine Techniques.
Su Yuan’s smile grew wider, watching Blood Soul True Monarch with a playful expression.
He was not surprised by Blood Soul True Monarch’s first head-targeting attack, because the operations of Blood Soul True Monarch likely were greatly influenced by Su Yuan’s extraordinarily high fate.
The Primordial Sect currently has a total fate of three thousand points, and after the ceremony started, Su Yuan directly added one thousand fate points to himself.
With the boost of one thousand fate points, Su Yuan was confident that under the attack of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he could preserve his life temporarily.
Once all the Blood God Sect’s Foundation Establishment cultivators were dead, next in line were the dozen or so Golden Core powerhouses.
Not only that, but even the Blood Soul True Monarch himself had strands of vital essence and cultivation being drawn away.
As a Nascent Soul expert, even if the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony was completed, he could not be completely drained by the Crown of Corruption, only at most dropping one or two minor realms.
But the feeling of being fooled by a junior left Blood Soul True Monarch filled with extreme anger:
"Su Yuan, brat! Your head is indeed agile, so let me destroy your entire body!"
