Chapter 69: Chapter 2 Meritorious Treasures (2nd Update)_1

「Fengyun World.」

「Imperial City.」

In just a short week, a massive and majestic altar rose from the ground, standing in the center of the plain outside the Imperial City. It was imposing and sacred.

Surrounding the altar, three hundred thousand disciples of the Divine Church stood in neat rows, swords in hand, solemn and devoted, their eyes alight with excitement. Whether they had participated in a sacrifice before or were attending for the first time, all of them knew of the greatness and generosity of the God of Hongmeng. Not a single one was without anticipation.

Beyond the disciples of the Divine Church were seven hundred thousand martial artists and civilians. A glance would reveal a sea of people, crowded and boundless, like an endless human tide.

Xiong Ba started the live broadcast. Dressed in an imperial robe, he walked with his skilled subordinates as if they were dragons and tigers, striding forward confidently.

"Greetings, Venerable."

A million voices greeted in unison.

The Dog Son of the Upper God: "Damn! How many people must there be? A dark mass stretching endlessly, maybe five or six hundred thousand!"

The Lord of Great Qin: "Definitely more than five or six hundred thousand. I estimate a million."

Huashan Sect Master: "Leader Xiong’s sacrifice is really a grand affair this time!"

They had witnessed many sacrifices, but it was the first time they saw so many people gathered around an altar for one. Seeing the shock of the crowd members, Xiong Ba felt a surge of pride.

He approached the front of the altar and, with an airy raise of his hand, declared, "You may rise!"

The domineering voice, amplified by his immense power, echoed through the heavens. It was loud enough for the million people on the plain to hear clearly, astonishing countless martial artists. Xiong Ba’s power was truly terrifying.

"Thank you, Venerable!"

All stood up.

Xiong Ba looked towards the altar and, with a grand wave of his hand, commanded, "Bring forth the sacrifices!"

"Yes."

The prepared sacrifices were brought onto the altar in an orderly fashion by martial artists.

Various livestock.

Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, martial arts secret books...

Snow Drink Knife, Peerless Good Sword, Meng Bo, Xuanyuan Sword, Dragon Vein...

ROAR!

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted. Everyone saw the Fire Qilin, which had been sealed by Xiong Ba, being personally carried onto the altar by Qin Shuang and Duan Liang.

Then came the bodies of reclusive masters, frozen in ice.

Wu Invincible, Smile Three Times, Immortal God, Emperor of Heaven, First Evil Emperor, Second Knife Emperor...

And most importantly, the Alien Demon—Ye Xuan.

Huashan Sect Master: "Leader Xiong is really going all out. But after this wave of sacrifices, there won’t be many treasures left to offer, right?"

The Dog Son of the Upper God: "There’s still a Divine Dragon in the Eastern Sea, and possibly hidden Great Gods like the Great Sun Tathagata, Amaterasu, and Nuwa!"

The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "If Leader Xiong sacrifices the Great Sun Tathagata and Nuwa, wouldn’t he just soar directly into the heavens?"

The Lord of Great Qin: "Leader Xiong has already soared!"

Cloud Mist Sect Master: "Admiring the big shot!"

...

Sacrificing Nuwa?Watching the live stream, Hongmeng’s mind stirred.Even in the comic version, Nuwa remained a legendary figure, never appearing in person, leaving only four divine stones. The Bingpo Divine Stone had previously been sacrificed by Xiong Ba, turning into the Innate Spirit Treasure Bingpo Divine Pearl. Black Cold was forged into the Peerless Good Sword. White Dew was forged into the Snow Drink Knife. The divine stone was forged into Meng Bo. Now all were brought to the altar by Xiong Ba.

When He descends later, I can use my Divine Sense to scan it!Hongmeng thought to himself.

He continued watching the live stream.

As body after body of high-level masters was brought onto the altar, a supremely beautiful girl in white, holding two precious swords, gracefully approached the altar. She had a melon-seed face, willow-leaf eyebrows, bright eyes, and snow-white teeth. Serene and elegant, her long hair cascaded to her waist. Her skin was as smooth as jade, her figure as slender as a willow; her presence was enchanting.

The City of Unparalleled’s Mingyue and the Unparalleled Yin Yang sword.

Dugu Yifang had personally persuaded Mingyue and had taken out the Unparalleled Yang Sword as an offering.

Behind Mingyue were two other stunning beauties. Leading was the Heavenly Mother Luo Xian, and following her was the slightly timid Yu Chuchu. Yu Chuchu had not yet met Bu Jingyun; at this moment, she was just a naive and innocent girl.

Xiong Ba had given Second Dream a chance, but she was quite stubborn. Because Xiong Ba had killed the Second Knife Emperor, she was determined to fight Xiong Ba to the death. Left with no other choice, Xiong Ba had to kill her and offer her as a blood sacrifice along with her father, the Second Knife Emperor.

The sacrifices were ready.

Xiong Ba was excited.This time he had prepared so many sacrifices and even held a national sacrifice. Surely, the rewards he would receive couldn’t be weaker than Bibi Dong’s, right?

"The sacrificial ceremony officially begins!"

Following Xiong Ba’s announcement, everyone began praying to the Divine Spirit with great reverence.

"Oh great God of Hongmeng..."

As the prayers resonated, runes lit up on the altar, filling the air with an aura that was extremely mysterious. Holy beams of light pierced the sky.

The sacrificial animals on the altar transformed into Divine Beasts.

Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, and martial arts secret books turned into mysterious runes, elucidating the principles of Buddhism and Taoism, and the profound mysteries of the Martial Path.

The Fire Qilin’s sacred flames surged, breaking its seal in an instant as it soared into the sky, its surroundings transforming into a world of flames.

The bodies of mighty warriors vanished, turning into pathways reaching the heavens.

The body of Ye Xuan disappeared, and numerous Paths appeared.

Among them, a purple aura resembling a roaming dragon was the most dazzling and eye-catching. Its light overshadowed everything around, whether it was the super-evolved Fire Qilin or the transformed Immortal Luo, Mingyue.

This was a first.

Not only was Xiong Ba stunned.

Everyone in the chat group was equally dumbfounded. After numerous sacrifices, this was the first time an item surpassed those of the Destiny’s Daughter or the Daughters of Great Fate.

The Dog Son of the Upper God: "Shit! Leader Xiong has struck it rich! This Alien Demon is truly extraordinary, even more terrifying than the Daughters of Great Fate!"

Huashan Sect Master: "Envy and jealousy."

The Lord of Great Qin: "Envy and jealousy."

Even through the chat group, when they saw that purple aura, their minds were deeply shaken. It was as if they saw the universe in its primordial chaos, the essence of the Great Path; they saw...

The Path.

The surrounding martial artists and commoners were dumbstruck, deeply shocked. Though they already knew the God of Hongmeng was a supreme True God, witnessing such a terrifying divine sign left them with a shock that was beyond words.

「Within God’s kingdom,」

"Ding, your followers have sacrificed a large number of Martial Path scriptures, resulting in a one-billion-times increase. You have obtained the Martial Arts Civilization Aura."

"Ding, detecting an existing Martial Arts Civilization Aura. Merge successful. Martial Arts Civilization Aura: Level Three."

[Martial Arts Civilization Aura. Level Three.]

Increases comprehension ten thousand times, battle power ten thousand times, repels myriad evils, all laws are from the heart.

"Ding, your followers have sacrificed a large number of Buddhist scriptures, resulting in a one-billion-times increase. You have obtained the Buddhist Civilization Aura."

[Buddhist Civilization Aura. Level One]

Increases comprehension one hundred times, weakens Buddhist power damage, repels myriad evils, all laws are from the heart.

"Ding, your followers have sacrificed a large number of Daoist scriptures, resulting in a one-billion-times increase. You have obtained the Immortal Civilization Aura."

[Immortal Civilization Aura. Level Two]

Increases comprehension one thousand times, weakens Mana damage, repels myriad evils, all laws are from the heart.

Now I have Martial, Immortal, Buddhist, and Demon Civilization Auras!A thought crossed Hongmeng’s mind, and radiant, holy auras flew towards him.

Within the Buddhist Civilization Aura, it seemed as if three thousand Buddhas were chanting sutras. Constant melodious recitations echoed, as boundless as Buddhist Law, compelling one to convert on mere sight.

With this Buddhist Civilization Aura, I could pass as a highly virtuous Holy Monk, a Buddhist Power!Hongmeng smiled indifferently. The four auras emerged behind his head, slowly rotating, exuding extreme holiness and majesty.

"Ding, your followers have sacrificed the Divine Weapon Peerless Good Sword, resulting in a one-hundred-million-times increase. You have obtained the Lower Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Black Cold."

"Ding, your followers have sacrificed the Divine Weapon Snow Drink Knife, resulting in a one-hundred-million-times increase. You have obtained the Lower Grade Innate Spirit Treasure White Dew."

"Ding, your followers have sacrificed the Divine Weapon Meng Bo, resulting in a one-hundred-million-times increase. You have obtained the Lower Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Tathagata Gold Bowl."

"Ding, your followers have sacrificed the Divine Weapon Xuanyuan Sword and Dragon Vein, resulting in a one-billion-times increase. You have obtained the Houtian Merit Treasure Xuanyuan Sword."

Merit Treasure Xuanyuan Sword!!Hongmeng’s eyes lit up, not expecting such a gain. A Merit Treasure is comparable to an Innate Treasure; it allows one to kill without accruing karma and possesses boundless power.

It must be because the Xuanyuan Sword and Dragon Vein carried the blessings of the fates of generations in the Fengyun World. That’s why it received a one-billion-times increase and even became a Merit Treasure!Thoughts swirled in his mind as Hongmeng understood the reasons behind it.

Now, he finally had a weapon to boast of.
