I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 540: Chapter 223: Boom! (Part 2)

Suddenly, a paw struck out towards the Witch Array.

Boom!

The fleeing Shen Can was fully focused on controlling his three avatars.

He donned a coffin brought by the avatars as his protection, thinking he’d need to go out and communicate with the Holy Envoy Race.

Unexpectedly, they acted directly.

Approaching immediately with a paw.

Impressive!

Boom!

With a loud crash, the upgraded Five Elements Witch Array roared, and a claw over ten feet in size pressed down on the top of the bowl-shaped Witch Array,

This claw was gray-black, with clear patterns visible, as bright blue runes lit up on the claw.

Clang! The Juan Mountain Tripod Cauldron suspended above the Witch Array emitted a humming sound.

In just a breath, several claws pierced through the Witch Array.

Crack!

The upper circle of the Witch Array was entirely crushed by the claws, and the Juan Mountain Tripod Cauldron cried out in lament, flying horizontally away.

The violent energy plummeted from the sky, bringing an existential threat to the avatar, which crashed down carrying the coffin.

The Witch Array completely shattered, with scattered energy sweeping in all directions, forcing Yu Qing and several martial artists to retreat.

"Come out, I already smell your scent, indeed the finest offering!"

At the same time as the avatar plummeted, Yu Cheng ignored the scattered energy, breaking through it as he began to fall, extending a claw.

But at this moment, his body gave an involuntary shudder, his divine sense scanning below, suddenly sensing a fiery energy concealed beneath.

The Witch Array shattered, the Array Base continually erupted, disrupting part of the Five Elements Dragon Wall hiding the Beast Pill aura, scattering clusters of multicolored radiance, letting the Beast Pill’s aura naturally escape.

Crucially, Yu Cheng spread his wings and soared up, spitting out a Witch Artifact resembling a Jade Pendant.

BOOM!

A vast energy erupted from beneath the ancestral temple of the original clan land.

In that instant, flames surged to the sky, shaking the earth within a hundred-mile radius.

Wide cracks spread from the blazing location in all directions, like an abyss devouring everything on the land.

The sky-reaching flames engulfed the shattered Witch Array’s scattered energy, ascending to five thousand feet, impacting within a thousand-foot radius.

Amid the flames, a blue light streaked like a stream flying tens of miles away.

Four blue lights had no time to react as they were engulfed by the blazing flames.

Yu Fei and two late-stage Divine Treasure martial artists didn’t even have time to scream before they were completely vaporized in the flames.

The remaining two of Yu Qing were swept by the energy waves and became crippled bodies, passively blasted ten miles away, crashing into the depths of the earth.

At this moment, the earth was silent.

Tens of miles away, Shen Can, observing from an inconspicuous hill, was propelled down by the engulfing energy.

After regaining his footing, Shen Can looked again in the clan land’s direction, seeing the sky-reaching Fire Dragon seemingly frozen in the sky.

Before the Holy Envoy Race arrived, he imagined various strategies to lure the Holy Envoy Race martial artists into the trap.

Yet none were used.

The Holy Envoy Race was too straightforward, evidently birds for grand deeds.

Unfortunately, during the explosion, he was unsure about the distance between the old bird, which lost many feathers, and the Beast Pill, specifically how many feet.

Under the shattered Witch Array energy impact, the avatar immediately lost insight, merely seeing the old bird descending from the fragmented Witch Array, directly triggering the Beast Pill explosion.

Given the situation then, not triggering the explosion wasn’t an option.

With part of the Five Elements Dragon Wall fractured, the Beast Pill aura likely leaked, losing the opportunity if not triggered.

Thankfully, hiding in the hill, Shen Can saw a stream of light streaking away.

As for other streams of light, he didn’t see them; possibly obscured by the simultaneously ascending sky-reaching energy.

However, contemplating further, the tier four Holy Envoy Race martial artists were unlikely to fare well, though their distance from the Beast Pill was greater than the old bird’s, their strength was merely tier four.

...

Miles away from the clan land, Yu Cheng crawled out from the earth’s depths,

His wings twisted into a mess, beak shattered, body covered in steaming holes, abdomen blown open, one eye spewing Red Fire, blood flowing.

Already aging and withered, now reduced to mere rotting flesh.

The remaining eye blood-red, the broken mouth opened and closed but no sound emitted.

At this moment, words fell short in describing the fury within, as the trembling remnant manifested clusters of blue Wind Talismans, subsequently evolving hundreds of storms, engulfing all around.

Rumble!

Wind blades like knives, tearing through the mountains and forests, shredding everything in their path.

After venting, Yu Cheng suddenly remembered his witch artifact. As he chanted a spell, the jade pendant flew in swiftly from miles away, transforming into a beam of light that enveloped him, offering protection.

He grabbed three Tier Four treasure medicines from his witch pouch, stuffing them into his mouth and chewing. His broken beak was somewhat awkward; Yu Cheng invoked a wind rune, cutting off the fractured beak.

After consuming the treasure medicines, his wounded body finally received some nourishment. A green light emerged from the burst-open body, and the blood stopped flowing.

But for such severe injuries to heal, only a Tier Five treasure medicine would suffice.

After slightly stabilizing his breath, he gathered back the blood he had spilled.

Tier Five resources are rare, and if his aura were leaked, it would easily attract unnecessary trouble.

For instance, if the Tier Five Luwu of the Giant Mountain Range sensed his injury, it wouldn’t hesitate to come and eat him.

Yu Cheng rose into the air, heading towards the site of the explosion, even though his wings were twisted into a bunch, as a Tier Five Martial Artist, he had long since acquired the power to control the air.

At this moment, at the center of the explosion, the fiery golden flames frozen in the sky began to collapse inch by inch.

Smoke and dust filled the sky within a hundred-mile radius.

Through the smoke, Yu Cheng saw a huge pit emanating heat.

The earth and stone had already melted into a colorful magma in the heat, pouring into the large cracks spreading outwards from the pit, like fire dragons weaving through.

Wherever they went, flames kept rising.

After wandering around for a bit, Yu Cheng found Yu Qing and Yu Chi, but Yu Chi had already turned into a charred remains of a bird.

Yu Qing, though still breathing slightly, had lost his wings, and whether he could survive depended on his fate.

There were seven Peak of Divine Treasure in the entire Holy Envoy Race, and now only one half-dead remained.

Grabbing the two remains, Yu Cheng rose into the air and began to fly around the clan land.

He remembered seeing ants migrating when he came.

Before he didn’t care about the ants, but now he only wanted to kill.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Damn the Human Race, using such despicable and vile means.

The thing that exploded should have been a beast pill, and a Tier Five beast pill capable of blasting him into such a state.

Did they think a mere Tier Five beast pill could kill him, a Tier Five Martial Artist?

Naive!

Tier Five Wild Beasts are rare, and beast pills aren’t something easily obtained. He didn’t believe that this Human Race Tribe had a second one.

From the use of a beast pill to attack him, it was clear that the Human Race had no other tricks up their sleeve; if their array worked, they wouldn’t resort to the beast pill.

Besides, having fallen for it once, how could he fall for it again?

Having not killed him, he intended to root out every single member of this tribe and crush them alive.

However, after Yu Cheng took to the air and searched through the mountains and wilds, he found that the migratory figures he saw upon arrival were nowhere to be found now.

The explosion of the beast pill shook the surroundings within a hundred-miles radius, but the sound echoed two thousand miles away in all directions.

The migrating groups, upon hearing the commotion, dropped everything and fled.

Of course, two legs cannot outrun wings.

Shen Can couldn’t predict the battle’s outcome in advance, thus gave an order to the migrants.

Upon hearing the commotion, disperse and run.

The key is not to cluster together!

After running a certain distance, hide in the water, in ground holes, and in the forests.

And then, pray to their ancestors for protection.

On his way to find the Blazing Flame Clan People, Yu Cheng saw a heap of abandoned beast hide bags, wooden carts, and other things.

In his anger, he unleashed a gale, shredding everything into fragments.

The soaring Yu Cheng flew back again, contemplating the ground he had just decimated into ruins with a dark expression.

Later, in another part of the wild mountains, he discovered another scattering of wooden carts and beast hide bags.

Wind blades cut open the beast hide bags, causing a mix of earth and low-tier ores, along with grain and fodder, to spill out.

The mottled colors of the earth and stone appeared glaring to Yu Cheng’s eyes at this moment.

"Pfft!"

A few breaths later, Yu Cheng’s chest heaved violently, and he spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The ragged opening of his beak gasped, his teeth clenched, uttering a single word.

"Good!"
