"Her name is Youruo, and she is my daughter, Xiongba's daughter."
Xiongba's words were like a giant rock falling into a calm lake, stirring up monstrous waves.
"She's Xiongba's daughter?"
Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng were all shocked.
Xiongba was actually using his own daughter as a sacrifice?
That was too ruthless.
"Today is a great day. You will witness a true deity. Later, everyone will follow this gang leader in prayer. If anyone shows disrespect, they will be killed without mercy!"
At this moment, Xiongba's voice became sharp and filled with killing intent. A terrifying aura enveloped everyone's hearts. The one hundred thousand members of the Tianxia Guild had solemn expressions and shouted in unison:
"We obey the gang leader's command!"
"But before that, this gang leader has two rebellious individuals to deal with."
Xiongba looked at Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, whose hearts trembled as a bad premonition arose within them.
"You two harbor ill intentions. Today, your blood will be sacrificed to the great God of Primordial Chaos."
As Xiongba's voice fell, Bu Jingyun gathered the cultivation in his dantian, ready to resist, while Nie Feng and Qin Shuang wanted to plead and explain.
But Xiongba had already made his move.
The power of a Supreme Grandmaster erupted without any reservation. Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, who were only at the Grandmaster realm, were instantly severely wounded and on the verge of death.
"As expected of the protagonists, they're still not dead!"
Xiongba was secretly astonished. With this move, let alone a Grandmaster, even a Great Grandmaster would surely die.
However, Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng stubbornly clung to life.
He didn't waste any words, instantly delivering a finishing blow, completely slaying Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng.
Having seen the future, Xiongba knew the terrifying nature of destined protagonists. He had to kill them decisively, otherwise, they would surely retaliate, leading to endless trouble.
"Master, please spare..."
Qin Shuang was about to plead, but before he could finish his sentence, Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng had already been killed by Xiongba.
His heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he didn't know what to say.
"Bu Jingyun was always thinking of avenging his stepfather Huo Butian's family, and Nie Feng's mother also died because of a master back then. I received a divine revelation that these two had long harbored ill intentions. If they didn't die today, I would eventually be killed by them!"
Xiongba patted Qin Shuang's shoulder, comforting him, "You are different from them. Today, I will show you a true deity. After the sacrifice, I will officiate your marriage and give Kong Ci to you!"
Actually, Kong Ci was also a woman of great fortune, but she had already been defiled by Bu Jingyun.
Her body was no longer pure.
She was not qualified to be sacrificed to the High God.
Of course.
Xiongba had seen the future and Kong Ci's fate.
Although he was the one who caused it.
But Kong Ci had given her body to Bu Jingyun, her name to Qin Shuang, and finally her heart to Nie Feng.
Even if such a woman hadn't been defiled by Bu Jingyun, he wouldn't dare to sacrifice her to the High God.
Thus, she was perfect for appeasing Qin Shuang and winning over people's hearts.
"Thank you, Master."
Qin Shuang knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed.
"Xiongba actually killed Feng and Yun? Has he gone mad?"
"Xiongba must be mad, otherwise how could he kill his top generals and sacrifice his own daughter and all the treasures accumulated by the Tianxia Guild?"
"Should we make a move?"
"Not yet, let's see Xiongba's sacrifice first!"
Under the mocking, sneering, and questioning gazes of countless martial artists, Xiongba ordered his subordinates to move the bodies of Feng and Yun onto the altar.
He solemnly adjusted his attire, then walked up the steps to the top of the altar, turned around, and looked at the one hundred thousand members of the Tianxia Guild, proclaiming loudly:
"The sacrificial ceremony officially begins! All disciples, follow this gang leader in praying to the great God of Primordial Chaos."
After speaking, Xiongba turned and knelt before the altar, piously reciting the sacrificial text.
"Great God of Primordial Chaos, You are the God of Creation, the God of All Things, the Creator and Master of all things in the universe."
"You are our Father and God."
"Your light illuminates our path forward."
"You are our faith."
Qin Shuang and Wen Chou Chou followed, kneeling and praying.
Seeing that their gang leader had knelt, the one hundred thousand members of the Tianxia Guild had no choice but to follow suit and pray.
"Your devout believers offer the most precious sacrifices, hoping to receive Your blessings, to spread Your divine radiance throughout the world, and to let Your glory shine upon the world!"
"May Your divine power be eternal!"
"May Your divine fire never extinguish."
"Great God of Primordial Chaos, Supreme and Holy, the One True God!"
...
In the Divine Kingdom of the Eternal Continent.
"Ding! A wisp of faith power has been detected. This time, you have received a 100,000-fold amplification. You have gained 100,000 wisps of faith power."
"Ding! Your believer has sacrificed an Ice Soul Divine Stone to you. This time, you have received a 100-million-fold amplification. You have gained a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Ice Soul Divine Pearl."
"Ding! Your believer has sacrificed a large number of martial arts secret manuals to you. Overall, you have received a 200-million-fold amplification. You have gained the Martial Dao Civilization Aura."
"Ding! Your believer has blood-sacrificed the Sons of Destiny, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, to you. This time, you have received a 10-billion-fold amplification. You have gained the Heavenly God-level Dao of Wind and Dao of Cloud."
...
As a series of notifications sounded, Hong Meng, who was cultivating, opened his eyes, filled with pleasant surprise.
He wouldn't even mention the power of faith; with 100,000 people praying, each person received a minimum of a hundredfold amplification, with no upper limit. This wave of faith power alone was an astronomical figure.
Countless wisps of faith power condensed into divine power, and divine power further condensed into divine crystals.
Piles of divine crystals, dazzling and resplendent, stacked up like mountains.
A sacred and brilliant halo emerged, merging with the halo behind his head.
In an instant.
The divine light burst forth, and the Martial Dao Civilization Aura became even more brilliant. Wisdom flowed like a spring, and countless Daos and techniques surged into his mind.
"[Martial Dao Civilization Aura. Level 2]"
"Amplifies comprehension by a thousandfold, combat power by a thousandfold. Immune to all evil, all techniques are at will."
The Martial Dao Civilization Aura had merged and upgraded, its effects becoming ten times more powerful, truly terrifying.
Of course.
What surprised Hong Meng the most were the Heavenly God-level Daos of Wind and Cloud.
With these two Heavenly God-level Daos, coupled with the divine crystals and origin power he currently possessed, he could completely forge a Heavenly God divine personality and a Heavenly God body using the Daos of Wind and Cloud, directly bypassing the True God realm and achieving Heavenly Godhood in one step.
However, Hong Meng would not do this.
This was killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, leading to endless troubles.
Hong Meng already had a plan for his future path. With the Myriad Worlds Chat Group and the Infinite Amplification talent cheat, he could collect the Three Thousand Great Daos and condense them into the Primordial Chaos Dao, which encompassed all Daos, laying an unparalleled and profound foundation for the future.
The Three Thousand Great Daos here were not literally three thousand, but a virtual number.
As the saying goes, one Dao leads to ten thousand Daos. Perhaps only dozens or hundreds of Daos could condense into the Primordial Chaos Dao that encompassed all Daos.
"Ding! Your believer has sacrificed three kinds of livestock, six kinds of domestic animals, and five kinds of grains to you. This time, you have received a ten-million-fold amplification. You have gained 500 Divine Beasts, Earth-shaking Golden Pigs, 200 Purple-eyed Demonic Oxen, 2500 Wind-chasing Antelopes, 500 Four-winged Heavenly Horses, 200 Golden-furred Divine Dogs, 1,000 Fire Phoenixes, and a certain amount of Five Grains Divine Seeds..."
"Ding! Your believer has sacrificed the Daughter of Great Fortune, Youruo, who carries ten strands of destiny power."
"This time, you have received a 5-billion-fold amplification!"
"You have gained Saint Spirit Youruo."
"You have gained 50 billion strands of origin power."
"Youruo? Murong Fu sacrificed his cousin, Xiongba sacrificed his daughter. They're truly more ruthless than each other!"
Hong Meng's heart stirred. To him, there wasn't much difference between a Saint Spirit and a Hero, except that Heroes had titles, and their strength in the same realm would be slightly more advantageous due to the power brought by the title.
But that was all.
Following the faith channel, Hong Meng's terrifying divine sense projected towards the Wind and Cloud world.
A resplendent nebula floated in the vast void, dotted with stars, like myriad household lights. It was somewhat similar to the Demigods and Semidevils world where Murong Fu was located, yet even more powerful.
Hong Meng's divine sense could perceive that, like the Demigods and Semidevils world, there were no deities occupying this place, making it a good place to spread faith.
His divine sense descended along the faith, and he saw a vast, azure planet.
This was—the Wind and Cloud world.
