I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 567: Chapter 234: All That Happened Back Then

Looking at the Kui Spirit, who was spirited and bold, Shen Can was somewhat astonished.

He sensed his own injuries; although killing the Tier Five of the Holy Envoy Race didn’t cause much damage, the arrow shot by the Great Witch inflicted significant harm, and his energy and blood had not yet fully settled.

It’s true that a wizard’s body is weaker than a martial artist’s, but a Tier Five Great Wizard who specializes in Wind Attribute is several times harder to approach than other attributes’ great witches.

If this Great Witch had been hit by a beast pill explosion, they would likely have been reduced to ashes long ago.

"No worries, I see your clan division seems battle-ready; when the time comes, you can drum up some war intent for me. I may not be as formidable as my mother, but I can still stir up some battle spirit."

Seeing Shen Can’s astonishment, the Kui Spirit jumped back onto the Kui Drum.

"What are you staring at? Even though I didn’t go fight those stinky birds with Little Yong, I’m not that bad either."

With that, the Kui Spirit lifted his chin and looked up at the sky.

"Hey, why is this old thing just making threats but not taking action?"

"Hey, could it be out of tricks?"

"The stinky bird was beaten, how many tricks can a bunch of Bird Slaves raised by stinky birds have?"

Seeing that the Great Witch Priest did not make a move, the Little Kui Spirit became cocky again.

...

The Great Witch Priest floated quietly on the Wind Thunder Flying Ship, his entire body shrouded in a black robe, making it impossible to see his expression at all.

As for the lords of the divisions and the ancestors, they remained on the flying ship, all looking obedient and occasionally nodding slightly, indicating they were communicating through divine sense.

Just then, a member of the Peak of Divine Treasure of the Holy Envoy Race spread its wings and flew away from the Wind Thunder Flying Ship first.

Afterward, the several ancestral figures from different divisions, eyes blazing, followed closely and spread out towards the edges of the Grand Array, hovering above to overlook the Blazing Flame Race array.

"I get it; this old thing has promised benefits and wants people to trap you together!"

"Does your tribe have enough reserves?!"

"Is your household’s Primordial Vein working properly?"

The Kui Spirit spoke up, knowing that even the daily operation of such a large array consumes a tremendous amount of resources.

Not to mention, they’d already been through a major battle, consuming an enormous amount of resources.

Can the Blazing Flame’s foundation hold out?

As for relying on the underground Primordial Vein, theoretically, it’s possible, but if the consumption exceeds the Primordial Vein’s ability to absorb heaven and earth source power, it will only lead to the Primordial Vein’s depletion.

If the Primordial Vein cannot supply enough, Source Stones will be needed for support.

This depends on whether the Source Stone reserves are plentiful or not.

The Kui Spirit didn’t wait for Shen Can to speak and vanished with a swish.

The Kui Spirit first circled along the inner edge of the Grand Array, then dove into the depths of the earth to take a look at the Primordial Vein.

In fact, there was no need for the Kui Spirit to check; Shen Can was very well-aware of how much reserve the clan had.

Just breaking through the previous Nine Cyan Days alone, where a thousand-zhang source power dragon was awakened by the Primordial Vein, consumed over a million Source Stones.

Previously resisting the wind blades everywhere, the array’s interior drew from the Five Elements, and although each strike did not consume over a million Source Stones, each hour still burnt through at least ten thousand.

Fortunately, the power source wasn’t just Source Stones; some array bases crafted from ores naturally contained some source power.

Some array bases weren’t shattered by forces but collapsed on their own due to internal source power exhaustion.

The plan was to scare off the divisions by taking out the Tier Five Martial Artist of the Holy Envoy Race, but unexpectedly the Great Witch Priest popped out.

Currently, there are over three million Source Stones remaining in the Primordial Vein, and the Source Stones distributed to the clan’s martial artists for array base maintenance still number two million.

This means that another two attacks similar to the Nine Cyan Days, and Blazing Flame would have to rely on the Primordial Vein.

At this point in the war, Shen Can did not feel worried.

Nor was he disheartened by his injuries.

Now, his war intent was high.

After this exchange, he had figured it out.

The Holy Envoy Race was definitely a paper tiger.

The furious attack, with just one Nine Cyan Days, had decent strength; the entire array was teetering on collapse at that time.

But it was only teetering, that’s all.

The Nine Cyan Days couldn’t break the array’s defense, so his Blazing Flame was in a stable position.

If the Holy Envoy Race had other means, they wouldn’t let other divisions stand by and watch the joke.

Shen Can already understood.

The Holy Envoy Race’s Great Witch Priest had invoked the ancestral artifact, bringing in nine cyan birds, aiming to tear through the Blazing Flame Array in one go.

They intended to use Blazing Flame as ’chick’, to intimidate the Yongyi Divisions, maintaining supreme authority in Yongyi.

But the result was that the Holy Envoy Race’s actual strength was much weaker than expected; not only did they fail to tear the array but also had their cyan birds broken by Shen Can’s side’s manipulation of the array.

When the Great Witch Priest performed a second technique, condensing the Profound Bird Dharma Form, the Little Kui Spirit gobbled it up instantly.

Even the ancestral bird bones used for witchcraft were half-snatched by the Little Kui Spirit.

The subsequent big moves were directly destroyed.

The Holy Envoy Race intended to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, ended up being exposed instead.

Shen Can imagined that the martial artists of the Yongyi Divisions must be having quite a moment, wondering if the Holy Envoy Race, mysterious for thousands of years, only had such means?

Is that how you guys truly are?

We can worship the Holy Spirit too!

Now, the Holy Envoy Race is facing this predicament.

Failure to overpower Blazing Flame exposed the Holy Envoy Race’s weakness.

Of course, the Tier Five Great Witch still exerts significant pressure, and each division doesn’t dare to rebel yet, otherwise, they wouldn’t obediently follow the Great Witch’s orders to hold different corners of the Blazing Flame Array.

Judging from the fiery look in the old guys’ eyes from each division, they must have received substantial benefits.

"Your Source Stones aren’t lacking!"

At this moment, the Kui Spirit rushed back, having seen the pile of Source Stones in the Primordial Vein, along with various minerals imbued with the Five Elements Attribute.
