Chapter 1218

Next, Chen Yu started inquiring about the "ancestral worship ceremony."

"On the day of the ancestral worship ceremony, those at the Star Condensation realm can enter the core of Blood God Island, the Sacred City."

This was undoubtedly good news for Chen Yu.

The thing the mysterious heart desired was in the Sacred City. Chen Yu would only be able to investigate further once he entered.

The ancestral worship ceremony was to worship the Blood Race's progenitor.

"If I remember correctly, the Primogenitor of the Blood Race is related to the Chaos Godfiends of ancient legends."

Chen Yu pondered.

Of course, this was only a legend of the Blood Race. No one could verify it.

Then, Chen Yu learned a lot more useful information.

It was said that apart from worshipping the progenitor, there would be a special ceremony during the ancestral worship ceremony.

The participants were the most talented geniuses of the Blood Race, and they might be favored by the progenitor.

Rumor had it that a Star Condensation young ancestor had broken through to the Dark Arcane realm after participating in the ancestral worship ceremony.

There were also ordinary Blood Race members who awakened the Blood Devouring Race bloodline after participating in the ancestral worship ceremony. Their status rose to the top and they became part of the Blood Race's royal family.

"This ancestral worship ceremony is indeed a chance for a small portion of the Blood Race to change their fate."

Chen Yu sighed.

He had no intention of participating. After all, it was too conspicuous.

It was best to keep a low profile for now.

During the ancestral worship ceremony, he only needed to enter the Sacred City and find the thing the mysterious heart desired.

Other than that.

Chen Yu asked about the Shark Tooth Race.

Last time, when the Blood Race had retreated to Blood God Island, the Shark Tooth Race had come to question them.

Due to the Great Prophet's divination, the Blood Race was extremely cautious and didn't act rashly.

But the Blood Race's display of weakness didn't resolve the matter. Instead, it made the Shark Tooth Race push their luck.

The Blood Race had only given in, but they weren't spineless. They had erupted under the Shark Tooth Race's oppression and told them about Sovereign Lord Mystic Nether's death in the Shark Tooth Race's territory, demanding an explanation.

In short, the conflict between the Blood Race and the Shark Tooth Race had intensified.

The Shark Tooth Race was teaming up with the other sea races to pressure the Blood Race even further, attempting to completely seal the Blood Race off Blood God Island.

This was something that Chen Yu was happy to see.

The vampires were his enemies. It would be best if they were defeated or injured.

Once the Blood Kindred was defeated, the Blood God Island would definitely be breached. At that time, there would be chaos here, and Chen Yu would be able to fish in troubled waters.

Chen Yu had originally planned to go out and fight, secretly inciting the conflict between the Vampires and the Mermen.

But now, the ancestral worship ceremony would be held three months later, so there was no time for such things.

Back at the cave abode.

Chen Yu once again entered the Heavenly Secluded Feather to cultivate in seclusion.

Only five days had passed in the outside world after cultivating for a month.

During this month, Chen Yu had been consolidating his cultivation, and the process was very smooth.

Then, Chen Yu couldn't help but continue to raise his cultivation.

Normally, he wouldn't do this. It wasn't good to be too eager for success.

"Just one last step."

He was one more star away from becoming a Nine Star King.

Chen Yu took out a large number of cultivation materials and top-grade Primordial Stones and began to cultivate.

Ten days later.

Chen Yu frowned, and the joy in his heart dissipated.

In these ten days, he hadn't even formed the prototype of the ninth star.

These ten days were equivalent to a waste, and the progress of the ninth star was zero!

"How could this be?"

Chen Yu was puzzled and depressed.

Compared with the eighth star, the cultivation of the ninth star was more than ten times more difficult.

Chen Yu didn't give up easily. He had already come this far. No matter what, he had to condense the ninth star.

A steady stream of cultivation resources was consumed by Chen Yu.

Pure energy poured into the Star Sea, but it was quickly slapped out of his body by a strong repulsive force.

It seemed that in Chen Yu's Star Sea, eight stars were the limit, and it couldn't accommodate the ninth star.

The eighth month in the Heavenly Quiet Feather's dimension.

Chen Yu had finally constructed the rough outline of the ninth Essence Star. However, his subsequent progress had become even slower.

The fifteenth month.

The embryonic form of Chen Yu's ninth star was still a sliver away from completion.

"Just forming the embryonic form is already so difficult. I wonder how long it will take to form the ninth star."

Chen Yu sighed.

Normally speaking, forming the embryonic form of an origin star was a very simple matter. The truly difficult part was the subsequent molding and refining.

Based on the current situation, Chen Yu did some calculations.

If he wanted to condense the ninth Origin Energy Star, he might not even succeed in 'a hundred years'.

When he reached this conclusion, Chen Yu couldn't help feeling depressed.

"Could it be that Nine Star Kings don't exist? Eight stars is the limit? "

Chen Yu felt a little lost.

An Eight Star King breaking through to the Mysterious Nether Realm was the dream of countless Kings.

Once it spread, it would be enough to shake the Origin World.

If Chen Yu was obsessed with nine stars, he might not succeed even if he wasted a hundred years. It wasn't worth it.

Perhaps it was as the Azure Sky Sovereign Lord had said, and Chen Yu shouldn't be too obsessed with nine stars.

Chen Yu ended his seclusion and walked out of the cave abode.

Today was the Blood Race's ancestral worship ceremony. All the Blood Race on Blood God Island moved to the Sacred City.

Those below the Star Condensation Realm could only stay outside the Sacred City, while those at the Star Condensation Realm could enter the Sacred City and participate in the ancestral worship ceremony.

He walked into the Sacred City.

The blood mist in the air almost merged with the heaven and earth Yuan Qi. This was the Blood Race's paradise. The cultivation speed here was twice as fast as outside.

Chen Yu looked around and observed the environment of the Sacred City.

Boom!

Suddenly, a blood-colored divine light shook the sky in the center of the Sacred City, dyeing the world blood red. It was extremely strange.

But all the Blood Race nearby had a pious expression.

"The ancestral spirit has appeared!"

"If we worship the ancestral spirit, we will definitely be protected and get through this."

Chen Yu looked excited. He suppressed the mysterious heart's desire and thought, "It's there. It's what the mysterious heart needs."

"Zheng Rong, you still don't know how to repent? Do you want to be my enemy?"

A disdainful laugh came from beside him. It was Zheng Rong.

"That's right."

Chen Yu couldn't be bothered with him. He just wanted to stay away from this person.

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, I will be one of the people to enter the Blood Ground of Fortune. Do you still have this thought?"

Zheng Rong shook his head and sneered. His younger brother was really ignorant.

"You and I are related by blood. If you give up on the inheritance and work for me, I can give you a clear path."

Zheng Rong continued.

Chen Yu's face was cold. He didn't reply and walked away.

"You're courting death!"

Zheng Rong's face turned hideous after being ignored. He said in a low voice, "I gave you face, but you don't want it. Since that's the case, you can die after the ancestral worship ceremony."

Chen Yu looked around and followed the crowd.

After a while, the crowd stopped.

What appeared in front of Chen Yu was an incomparably huge altar. In the center was a statue of the Blood Devouring Race that was thousands of meters tall. It seemed to contain a supreme divine might that could suppress all living things. People couldn't help but feel awe.

The statue of the Blood Devouring Race opened its bloody mouth. One of its crystal-like eyes shone brightly, looking brutal and tyrannical.

Surrounding the statue were countless corpses of all different races. There were even quite a few of them that were still alive. However, they had been sealed up, unable to even speak.

They were probably the sacrifices for the ancestral worship ceremony.

Chen Yu didn't pay much attention to them. His attention was on his own goal.

At this moment, the mysterious heart was boiling with desire. If Chen Yu hadn't suppressed it with all his strength, who knew what would have happened.

"The thing that the mysterious heart desires is nearby. What is it?"

Chen Yu's mind tightened.

This was the core of the Blood Race. The mysterious heart desired so many things that Chen Yu couldn't judge.

Whoosh!

Yuan Qi roared in the sky and blood mist surged. A huge figure that looked like a dragon or a snake flew across the sky, its Emperor's might spreading in all directions.

Another Mystic Dark Sovereign Lord arrived and landed on the platform in front of the altar. The people on the platform were all Blood Race Sovereign Lords.

"Even the Eight Sovereign Sects can't compare to this number of Sovereign Lords."

Chen Yu was inwardly shocked.

Even though the Blood Race had declined, its foundation was still there.

After a while, the surroundings gradually quieted down.

Only the statue of the Blood Devouring Race at the center of the altar was emitting blood-red radiance that shook the sky.

"What's going on? Why is the ancestor's blood so active? "

Some of the upper echelons were puzzled.

"Maybe it's because it sensed the sacrifices. Keke."

An elder replied, his gaze sweeping across the huge altar and the 'offerings' that were piled up like a mountain.

"Something's wrong. This sign, is the ancestor awakening? Maybe the Great Prophet's divination foretells that the ancestor will awaken and lead the Blood Race back to the world. "

"Ancestral worship ceremony, blood sacrifice, begins!"

The upper echelon presiding over the ceremony announced and read an elegiac chant.

The nearby Blood Race members bowed their heads in worship with pious expressions.

Chen Yu followed suit. However, from the corner of his eye, he saw the Blood Devouring Race statue on the altar shine brightly and form a blood-red whirlpool.

The blood and vitality of all the sacrifices were instantly extracted. Some of the sacrifices that were still alive turned into bones in the blink of an eye.

Dense blood energy fused into the Blood Devouring Race statue.

Boom!

A huge blood-red pillar of light shot out and shattered the clouds.

The bloodline of all the Blood Race members trembled as they felt a wave of excitement and desire.

Among the upper echelon, the Great Prophet stood in place and gazed into the sky. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Today will be the day of the crux!"

He deduced a bit of information and pondered its meaning.

"Music Sacrifice, Battle Sacrifice!"

In the distance, a strange melody sounded, and a strange power spread out.

On the other side of the altar, a huge platform suddenly rose up.

"If you want to enter the Blood Fortune Land, you must ascend the Battle Sacrificial Altar and undergo a baptism."

The upper echelon presiding over the ceremony announced.

"Blood Fortune Land?"

Chen Yu had heard about this before. It was said to be the greatest secret of the Blood Race. It was also said that the remains of the Blood Race's ancestor were inside.

He guessed that what the mysterious heart desired the most was most likely related to the Blood Race's ancestor.

After all, in the legends of the Blood Race, the Blood Race's ancestor was closely related to the Chaos Godfiends.
