Chapter 1123: Descent
"The mighty Gu God has always watched over us, granting us meticulous care and bestowing upon us the most magical powers!"
"However, due to years of neglect in worshipping the Gu God, the powers we receive have waned, and the legacy of the Gu Path is on the verge of being lost!"
"I cannot stand by and watch the Gu Path fall into decline, so I must perform a ritual to request the Gu God to bestow fortune upon us!"
"Zhu Ziyue is my master and was once the ruler of Miaojiang. With her invincible cultivation, she has entered the Holy Domain and is suitable to become an offering to the Gu God!"
"Once this sacrifice is completed, the Gu God will bestow blessings, and everyone will benefit!"
"However, I need your help. Before the ritual, everyone must chant in ancient tongues with me and pray to the Gu God!"
Li Wuxie's voice was sonorous and powerful, filled with a strange force that could inspire and stir everyone.
The Gu God is the deity worshipped by the people of Miaojiang, possessing unimaginable powers. If one receives its blessings, they can truly soar to great heights!
Therefore, everyone present eagerly desired the ritual, hoping to gain the powers bestowed by the Gu God!
"Gu God above, heaven and earth below, descendants of the Gu Path..."
Li Wuxie knelt on the altar, chanting an ancient incantation that exuded a magical force, connecting with a formidable presence.
Moreover, after Li Wuxie knelt, everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, chanting the incantation as he did.
"It's bad!" Fang Ruolan's face changed. "Li Wuxie is summoning the Gu God. Once the Gu God's will appears, my master will become the offering, and by then, it'll be too late to salvage!"
Miaojiang has many legends of the Gu God, and its existence is beyond verification, yet it surely exists!
Moreover, if Li Wuxie manages to connect with the Gu God, Zhu Ziyue will indeed find it difficult to escape, becoming the sacrifice for this ritual!
"What to do?"
As Li Wuxie and the others chanted, a mysterious force emerged, slipping into the void, seemingly summoning a grand presence of the race.
"Ah!"
Finally, the terrifying event occurred, as a sudden gale swept through the entire Miaojiang!
"Who summons me?"
Above Miaojiang, a colossal head appeared, radiating an overwhelming might that could crush the heavens and earth!
"Gu God!"
The instant the gigantic head appeared, everyone prostrated themselves, displaying a mix of fear and reverence.
"Do you wish to offer a sacrifice to me?"
This was the head of a giant beast, marked with blood patterns, eerie, terrifying, and unfathomable.
"Gu God, we are summoning you, intending to offer you a sacrifice and gain your power!" Li Wuxie bowed his head and said.
By chance, Li Wuxie cultivated into a King, able to walk the world alone, but when facing the Gu God, his heart grew cold, feeling as if confronting death directly!
The existence of the Gu God is unimaginably profound; even a mere fragment of its will induces fear and trembling in the King. What if its true form appears? What a scene that would be?
Li Wuxie didn't dare to even imagine!
In Li Wuxie's imagination, the Gu God should be a Great Saint, but now it seems the Gu God far exceeds the Great Saint!
"Is this woman meant for my sacrifice?" The Gu God looked at the altar and stared at Zhu Ziyue.
"Indeed!" Li Wuxie said. "A Holy Domain expert is sacrificed to the Gu God, hoping you may bestow blessings, making us strong!"
"An expert from the Holy Domain is merely insufficient for me, offering no substantial power!" The Gu God said.
"This!" Li Wuxie felt a chill in his heart.
Sacrificing to the Gu God is too rare, barely mentioned even in ancient texts, so facing this situation, Li Wuxie had no idea how to deal with it.
"You are already a King, wanting to advance further, you need many sacrifices, a single Holy Domain expert is far from enough!" The Gu God said.
"Then what is enough?" Li Wuxie asked.
"Sacrifice everyone here to me, and I can grant you limitless power, allowing you to become a King defying the heavens!" The Gu God's vast consciousness was like the ocean, causing heaven and earth to tremble.
"A King defying the heavens!"
The affairs of the mad Daoist and Beitian Stone Monkey spread across the realms, and Li Wuxie, though on Earth, had heard the rumors!
A King defying the heavens is an invincible King, capable of slaying a third stage Great Saint, utterly limitless in power!
While Li Wuxie had become a King, compared to a King defying the heavens, they were not even in the same league!
If a King defying the heavens was an adult, then Li Wuxie was but a child, without any comparison.
A King defying the heavens is incredibly hard to cultivate, invariably a person of great fortune, uniquely favored!
Yet, the Gu God could forge a King defying the heavens, which brought joy and near madness to Li Wuxie's heart!
"Mighty Gu God, as long as you make me a King defying the heavens, I'm willing to pay any price!" Li Wuxie's face showed a ghastly look, his eyes flashing madness.
"Then sacrifice them all to me!" The Gu God's gigantic eyes turned, gazing at everyone present.
"Alright!" Li Wuxie said. "Gu God, feel free to devour them. If they aren't enough, I'll help you gather more!"
"Ah!"
The Gu God moved, inhaling deeply, stirring the heavens and all things.
A terrifying force swept across heaven and earth, forming a horrible suction, actually sweeping up the Miao people below, all of them entering the belly of the Gu God.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, a power appeared on the Gu God, and it fell upon Li Wuxie.
"Gu God, have mercy, Zhu Ziyue is the real sacrifice, we are all here for the offering!"
"No, no, no, I don't want to be a sacrifice, I don't want to die, ah, ah, ah, no!"
"Li Wuxie, you despicable villain, why did you sacrifice us!"
"Ah, help!"
The Miao people below the altar were all Gu Masters, most of them Martial Arts Masters, Martial Arts Grandmasters, and even some Land Gods.
However, whether they were Martial Arts Masters, Martial Arts Grandmasters, or Land Gods, they were all devoured by the Gu God.
But there were thousands present, suddenly devoured by the Gu God, dying tragically, bursting out a grievance that made the place even more eerie.
Li Wuxie was cursed by countless people, but he showed no anger, instead, he was extremely delighted.
Because every person the Gu God devoured increased his power, and when thousands were devoured, his strength had grown tremendously!
"Li Wuxie, they were all your followers, why did you sacrifice them!"
Fang Ruolan had acquired a certain inheritance and was already a Saintly Great Power, so she would not be easily devoured. Moreover, she resisted the devouring force, protecting the unconscious Zhu Ziyue, and loudly rebuked Li Wuxie.
These thousands of Miao people were all Gu Masters, inheritors of Miaojiang's traditions, yet they were sacrificed by Li Wuxie, which meant severing the legacy!
"These people are all useless wastes, forever unable to touch the Saint Realm, what use is it to keep them?" Li Wuxie opened his eyes, shooting out an evil light. "Besides, as long as I become an extraordinary King, I would be qualified to hunt Great Saints, making countless people follow me, and reviving Miaojiang would be easy!"
"Bastard!" Fang Ruolan cursed bitterly.
"Junior sister, I've reached the pinnacle, just a tiny bit away from becoming an extraordinary King!" Li Wuxie said. "Everyone has become sacrifices, devoured by the Gu God, now it's your turn!"
Thousands of Gu Dao experts were devoured by the Gu God, Li Wuxie gained tremendous power, ready to ascend and become an extraordinary King at any moment!
However, Fang Ruolan and Zhu Ziyue were still resisting, as long as they were not devoured by the Gu God, Li Wuxie would never breakthrough!
Therefore, Li Wuxie wanted to strike, making Fang Ruolan unable to resist, directly devoured by the Gu God!
Boom!
Li Wuxie struck, the power of a King pierced through the sky, shattering everything before him, striking at Fang Ruolan and Zhu Ziyue.
"Li Wuxie, how ruthless you are!" Fang Ruolan lamented sorrowfully. "After all Master's careful teaching, after I treated you as my brother, you are so merciless, do you have any humanity left?"
Li Wuxie was a King-level powerhouse, and the fiercer he became, the stronger he was. Fang Ruolan was just an ordinary Saint, how could she withstand the power of a King?
Moreover, Zhu Ziyue was injured by Li Wuxie and still unconscious, filling Fang Ruolan with despair.
"Fang Ruolan, you know I love you!" Li Wuxie suddenly roared, as if stimulated. "But you lost your purity, taken by another man, how can you justify this?"
"The most detestable is Master, who actually betrothed you to another, so I must kill her!"
"However, you all must die, you did wrong, Master did wrong, you both betrayed me, you all deserve to die!"
Li Wuxie looked at Fang Ruolan, revealing a kind of deep anguish, tears streamed down his face.
Li Wuxie always liked Fang Ruolan, but after he became a King and activated the Martial Heavenly Eye, he found Fang Ruolan had changed, no longer the innocent little junior sister!
Hence Li Wuxie's disposition changed drastically, hating everyone!
"Everyone has the right to love, you can like me, and I can like someone else!" Fang Ruolan said.
"Is that person worth your love?" Li Wuxie roared. "That person took away your purity, thereafter neglecting you, leaving you to live in Miaojiang alone for ten years, is this his love for you?"
"This..." Fang Ruolan was stunned, unable to retort.
Just as Li Wuxie said, does that person really love her?
Fang Ruolan waited for so many years, from hope to despair, she no longer had any illusions.
However, having loved once, she has no regrets!
"I originally wanted to give you a chance to reform, to stay by my side and serve me!" Li Wuxie said. "But your body is already dirty, the more I think, the angrier I get, so you must die!"
Boom!
Li Wuxie's love turned to hate for Fang Ruolan, striking mercilessly, directly blasting Fang Ruolan towards the direction of the Gu God.
"Is this death?"
Fang Ruolan was blasted away by Li Wuxie, her blood and energy churning inside, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
However, she tightly clutched Master, refusing to let go, and together they were devoured by the Gu God.
Furthermore, Fang Ruolan's heart was full of longing, she did not fear death, but wanted to see a person, someone she had been waiting to see for ten years!
"Huh?"
Just when Fang Ruolan was filled with nostalgia and reluctance, a figure suddenly appeared above the altar.
