..................

There is nothing in the endless void, only the endless void and the turbulence of space, a speck of flickering light that floats with the turbulence of space, like a candle in the dark night, flickering and extinguishing.

Countless years have passed since the Divine Eye Giant was banished to the Void, and at first, the clansmen hoped that the warriors of the clan would come to rescue them when they heard the news, but countless years passed without waiting, and gradually the clansmen lost hope.

Some unwilling clansmen did not want to sit still and wanted to break out of this invisible cage, so they took the risk to break out, but the result was without exception, they were punished by heaven and annihilated in the void, and no one dared to go out again.

In the seal, there are nearly 30,000 people living in it, and the continent of thousands of miles is crowded and small compared to giants, and those who are advanced can be exempted from eating, while those who are weak and newborn need food supplements, so survival has become the biggest problem for the Shenmu people.

Fortunately, the original Korla clan was built on a dragon vein, and it was not stripped out when it was sealed, which can be regarded as leaving a glimmer of life for the Shenmu clan.

The tribesmen used the only little grain seeds in the clan to open up a special place for planting, and with abundant spiritual power, it was barely enough for the children not to go hungry, and the adult giants could only eat a meal from time to time, and they were not willing to eat the children's food when they were hungry.

The growth of giants requires huge energy support, and food alone cannot meet their growth at all, but there are only some weak demon beasts within 10,000 miles, and the helpless Shenmu people can only capture all the demon beasts back and raise them in captivity, and occasionally give the children a tooth sacrifice to supplement and replenish.

It is such a difficult environment, and the people of the Shenmu clan have not given up cultivation, hoping to get out of the predicament in this way, so as to find a way to save the clansmen, but the sealed land that lacks cultivation resources can only rely on their own penance to be promoted, and countless years have passed, and only three people have successfully survived the catastrophe and ascended to the immortal realm.

Originally, I thought that in this way, maybe the clansmen would be rescued, but countless expectations and waits eventually came to naught, and the clansmen who flew to the immortal realm have never heard from them since.

Countless years have passed, the people of the Shenmu clan have survived helplessly in the sealed land, and the number of the clansmen has not been cultivated because they are far away from the battlefield, but the number has dropped sharply, only more than 15,000 people, in the face of such a number, the clansmen are full of helplessness.

In the end, an old man in charge of the sacrifice of the Shenmu clan came up with an idea, there is an ancient book about sacrifice in the Shenmu clan, according to which there is a way to deduce the future of the tribe, but it requires the blood and lives of countless people as sacrifices to be successful.

Such a proposal silenced all the clansmen, if it was only essence blood, it would be fine, but it would be possible to succeed at the cost of life, which made everyone have to worry.

What they are worried about is not that they need to give their lives, but that they are willing to give their lives for the continuation of their race, for the sake of their children and grandchildren, in exchange for that glimmer of life.

But they can't accept defeat, and if they fail, their race will disappear forever in the endless river of history, and they still die like this, which makes them feel humiliated.

As early as when he was banished to Taixu, the god-eyed giant guessed that all this was probably a conspiracy, otherwise it would not be so coincidental that the warriors of his clan had just been transferred to the battlefield, and they were forced by the immortals and had to choose to be banished.

They did not blame the patriarch who made the decision at that time, because all the people left in the clan were low-ranking monks, old men, children, and women, and in order to preserve the bloodline of the clan, the patriarch humiliated and agreed to the exile.

They are eager to go out, they are eager to find the truth, to wash away the shame that their race has suffered for countless years, they are eager to go out, they are eager to rebuild the glory of the giant race, they are eager to ......!

Countless desires sustain them, the continuation and pride of the race is something they cannot abandon, even if it takes their lives, they are willing and will not regret it!

Finally, all the clansmen agreed to the suggestion of sacrifice, and the remaining more than 15,000 clansmen were ready to start sacrificing for their own fate, all the clansmen were willing to sacrifice their own blood, and a thousand old god-eyed giants were willing to sacrifice their lives to fight for that glimmer of life for future generations......!

The endless void is always full of darkness and loneliness, but on this day, the void exudes a tragic atmosphere, mixed with the struggle for fate, the reluctance of relatives and the desire for life, intertwined and mixed into the endless void.

In the seal, in the open space where the clansmen usually gather, a huge nine-clawed dragon pattern copper tripod was placed in the middle, and the old priest with a wrinkled face with a somewhat snarky body stood in front of the tripod with a solemn expression, and wore a golden robe on his body.

The robe was embroidered with the sun, moon and stars, the fine silver wire was wrapped around the waist to lock the waist, and a wide flowing cloud belt was tied around the waist, and the whole person exuded a sacred atmosphere.

The god-eyed giants only respect heaven and earth, they think that they are the sons of heaven and earth, and it is heaven and earth that give them life, and they never believe in the so-called gods, so there are only sun, moon and stars on their robes.

More than 15,000 Shenmu clansmen silently gathered around in the order of the eldest and youngest, their faces full of solemnity and unconcealable sadness, and everyone's eyes never left the 1,000 old clansmen in the front row.

Some of them are their ancestors, some are their relatives, and some are their best friends, but they are also members of the Shenmu clan, for their own people, they face the upcoming life sacrifice, their faces are not only calm, but more of a relief!

They want to trade their lives for the survival of future generations, they want to trade their lives for the continuation of the race, they want to ......!

Everything was ready, and the patriarch saluted the priest and said, "Sacrifice elder, everything is rid of your old age!"

The sacrificial elder nodded, and turned to look at all the clansmen, his eyes were full of complexity, helplessness, firmness, but more of a determination.

didn't say anything, the sacrificial elder shouted: "The sacrifice begins, please Longding!"

The sacrificial elder first slashed his wrist with a golden knife, and used his mana to force out three drops of essence blood, which was more gold and less red, showing the profound cultivation of the sacrifice, floating in the air with majestic life energy.

The sacrificial elder then pinched a set of complicated ancient rhyme tricks, punched into the essence blood, waved his hand and slapped it fiercely on the nine-clawed dragon pattern copper tripod in front of him, seeing that the essence blood flowed along the nine-clawed dragon pattern on the copper tripod, and in a blink of an eye, it was covered with the entire copper tripod.

A loud dragon groan came out, and the nine-clawed dragon on the copper tripod came to life in an instant, and kept swimming in the copper tripod, and after a while, a dragon groan was released again, and he plunged into the copper tripod.

A huge pillar of light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the surrounding void space through the formation, a kind of fluctuation different from the aura spread around, and after a while, the pillar of light slowly fell back and stabilized three feet away from the mouth of the ding.

This nine-clawed dragon pattern bronze tripod turned out to be a beginner-level immortal weapon, which will only be used when encountering major sacrifices, and is one of the three major immortal weapons of the Shenmu clan, and the other two were taken away by the great power of the clan to participate in the immortal and demon war, and this one was left in the clan because there was no attack power.

The immortal weapon has a powerful power, it is a weapon used by the immortals, although the cultivator can use it, but it can only exert one-twelfth of the power, this time in order to make the sacrifice as successful as possible, the sacrificial elders did not hesitate to spend essence blood to enhance the power of the immortal weapon.

As the immortal light stabilized, the sacrificial elder shouted to the clansmen, "Sacrifice essence blood!"

The patriarch of the god-eyed giant walked over first, took the golden knife in the hand of the sacrificial elder, slashed, slashed, forced out three drops of essence blood, waved his hand into the bronze tripod, handed the golden knife in his hand to the next sacrificer, and walked aside.

As the patriarch began to sacrifice, the clansmen behind him walked over one by one, took the golden sword without hesitation, and offered their own blood.

Everyone decided to sacrifice their essence blood according to their own cultivation, but at least there were two drops, and those old men who were ready to sacrifice their lives sacrificed eight drops of essence blood, and after the sacrifice, they were pale and pale after the sacrifice, and their steps were vain, and they even needed the support of the clansmen to walk aside, but the people behind them still made the same choice.

You must know that every cultivator can only condense nine drops of essence blood, once all of them are used, it means death, and these old men who sacrificed their lives did not want their essence blood to be wasted, so they all chose to do so, leaving only one drop of essence blood to maintain their own life and wait for the last moment.

The clansmen left tears in their eyes, looking at the thousands of old men full of respect and pain, but no one stepped forward to comfort them.

Because this is the choice of the clansmen themselves, it is a choice made for them to be able to get life, in addition to silently accepting, they can only keep this hatred deep in their hearts, if they can go out one day, they must seek justice for these deceased clansmen, and avenge their hatred!

Time gradually passed, the essence blood in the copper tripod gathered more and more, gold and red intertwined, full of the nobility and cruelty of life, countless essence blood condensed into majestic life energy, waiting for the final sacrifice.

Finally, the last clansman offered his own blood, and the essence blood of more than 15,000 clansmen gathered together, like a pool of dazzling lake water lying quietly in the copper tripod, without the slightest smell of blood, but exuding a faint fragrance, if it was not for the dazzling red to remind everyone, who would have thought that such a dazzling lake was full of what kind of sadness!

The sacrificial elder's eyes widened with anger, his face was full of struggle, even distorted, but finally he opened his mouth and shouted full of grief and indignation: "Life...... Sacrifice!"

All the people were full of grief and indignation, and tears flowed down their faces, but none of them cried out and silently prepared for their people to see them off!

The patriarch in front of him knelt on the ground, knock knock, knock knock, kowtow three times at the thousand old men, and shouted loudly with endless sadness: "Send - okay!"

All the clansmen fell to their knees with a bang, knock

The earth is trembling, the space is shaking, and the farewell sound of the clansmen resounded throughout the sky, transmitted through the formation into the endless void, and it has not dispersed for a long time!

A giant old man laughed, glanced at all the clansmen, with relief and calmness in his eyes, as well as concern and reluctance for the clansmen, sat down cross-legged, and said to the sacrificial elders: "Please!"

Boom, the whole body suddenly burst into flames, wrapped his body with a blazing temperature and began to burn, the old man in the flames closed his eyes tightly, with a smile and indifference on his face, and was engulfed by the flames in a blink of an eye.

The flames gradually extinguished, the figure of the old man had long since disappeared, and only a bright spiritual light void was suspended in mid-air, jumping back and forth a few times, as if bidding farewell to all the clansmen, with a trace of streamer flying into the copper tripod!

Boom, boom! Countless flames rose up, burning the void with dazzling life light, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into brilliant spirit beads and flew into the copper tripod, leaving only a light like a meteor, bringing the last warmth to the clansmen!
