I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 586: Chapter 240: Digesting the Spoils, Countermeasures

Outside the Blazing Flame Array.

Yun Mo spread his wings and soared over the grand array, employing his pupil technique to peer down into the array below, capturing the images of mountains, waters, and silhouettes within.

According to Master Xuan Qii’s instructions, he must not get too close to the grand array and can only glide over its high point.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the verdant grand array began to surge, the dazzling green light blindingly bright, obscuring the scene inside the array.

Not good, someone is about to exit.

Master Xuan Qii also instructed him to observe if any martial artists were leaving the array, and to report promptly if so.

The sudden concealment of the array’s interior undoubtedly signifies some action.

Yun Mo instinctively wanted to fly downwards a little, but his wings stopped just as he began to move.

"I’ll just go down a little, just a little, I have the pupil technique, I have wings."

"As long as I fly fast enough, even the Divine Treasure Peak Martial Artists below won’t be able to catch me."

As Yun Mo pondered, it struck him that within the clan, almost all Spirit Shepherds and Hunting Sacrificial Envoys had been lost, providing another opportunity for those who had failed these roles before.

However, with over forty clansmen at the early-stage Divine Treasure Realm, achieving advancement also required merit.

"Just a little bit downwards."

Thinking of this, Yun Mo spread his wings and dived down.

He saw a vaguely discernible flying ship’s phantom shimmering through the green-lighted grand array, seemingly attempting to break out of it.

The shadows of figures on the flying ship were indistinct, even challenging to discern with the pupil technique.

In a moment, he descended a little further.

Thud!

At this moment, the green light array cracked open a large fissure, and Huo Shan surged skyward, brandishing a battle banner.

Below, figures concealed within the ancient forest emerged, their war intent surging up.

The war drum hanging at Huo Shan’s waist beat furiously, and as he brandished the battle banner, he swept all the floating war intent into the flag.

With both hands gripping the battle banner, Huo Shan felt a terrifying energy infusing him.

Raising the banner high, he swung it toward the descendent Holy Envoy Race martial artist.

Boom!

A blood-red beam shot up, dazzlingly bright.

Yun Mo was taken aback, quickly flapping his wings to fly upwards, but he only ascended a hundred feet before being struck by the energy that soared a thousand feet high.

The surging energy exploded, forming a blood-red fire mushroom cloud that blasted Yun Mo high into the air, the blood fire penetrating every pore of his body.

Ultimately, it exploded with a thunderous boom.

Outside the array, hearing the commotion, Xuan Qii unfolded his wings and flew into the air.

"Yun Mo!"

He cursed under his breath, having clearly instructed them not to fly below two thousand feet to avoid being unable to escape in time, yet still losing a clansman to his foolishness.

Beside Xuan Qii, seven or eight other figures also took flight.

According to the Great Witch Priest’s instructions, they might act if a Divine Treasure emerged from the Witch Array, except for Shen Can.

If Shen Can appeared, they would awaken the Great Witch Priest.

Even if unable to capture Shen Can, they must not allow him and the tribe to exist in peace.

Doing nothing else, just ambushing by the Witch Array.

Ambush for ten years, fifty years, a hundred years, two hundred years...

Gradually breaking the Blazing Flame Division through persistent ambushes.

Otherwise, remain in the array for a lifetime without stepping out.

...

Huo Shan, who hoisted the great banner and killed a Holy Envoy Race martial artist, suddenly landed atop an ancient tree within the clan land, his whole body cracking audibly, beast patterns on his skin igniting with red fire, roaring within.

Shen Can stood nearby, sensing the changes within Huo Shan.

Under the impact of war intent, Huo Shan seized the opportunity, mobilizing his war intent to break through the bottleneck of his Divine Treasure forcibly.

Of course, such forced breakthroughs inflicted damage on the Divine Treasure and physical body several times greater than a normal advance.

"Master, this is no different from those martial artists in Yongyi who were lucky to advance to Divine Treasure; as long as one possesses a robust body, they can attempt this."

Huo Yunn stood to one side, alongside a hundred wizard, observing the changes in Huo Shan.

"The commander Tian Dan within the clan, though of ordinary background when advancing to Celestial Vein, still relied on his extraordinary physical talent to elevate his war body to the Quasi-Divine Treasure Realm."

"You mean the one whose war body cultivation at the Celestial Vein Sixth Layer exceeded even the Seventh or Eighth Layer?"

Shen Can immediately recalled whom Huo Yunn was referring to, indeed possessing extraordinary physical talent, innately more robust than others.

He also cultivated the Desolate Beast Battle Body, compensating for some wasted foundation, achieving quasi-Divine Treasure level combat strength.

Over the years, Tian Dan had continually followed the old clan leader in Dai Land.

"Master, I think among several quasi-Divine Treasure level combatants, Tian Dan can attempt this external force used to forcibly strike the Divine Treasure, completing Divine Treasure advancement.

Tian Dan’s physique holds a seventy percent possibility of withstanding such external bombardment.

Of course, serious injuries are inevitable, and after advancement, there’s a high chance he can only remain at the early-stage Divine Treasure.

Huo Yunn wasn’t speaking recklessly; she remembered the cultivation status of everyone within the clan.

She didn’t mention other quasi-Divine Treasure level martial artists, Shi Jun and Huo Ning.

Based on her records of Shi Jun and Huo Ning’s data, their chance of surviving such an external strike is about thirty to forty percent for Huo Ning, and less than twenty percent for Shi Jun.

Talking to Shen Can now, it’s precisely because the Blazing Flame desperately needs Divine Treasure Realm martial artists.

As for the old clan leader Huo Chang, he’d shatter with one hit, too frail.

In Huo Yunn’s view, as long as clansmen reach quasi-Divine Treasure level combat strength, they possess the possibility to attempt a Divine Treasure, though the outcome might be quite dire.
