Chapter 1465 - Lu Clan of the Nine Heavens
Meanwhile, in the Ocean Tribe, one of the Eight Ancient Tribes . . .
The Ocean Tribe was located in the Ocean of the Forbidden Spirit . The ocean was maintained by the experts of the Ocean Tribe every generation . Any outsiders that trespassed within the ocean would have their cultivation greatly suppressed, while the people of the Ocean Tribe would have their cultivation strengthened .
"Fellow seniors, the God Horoscope Contest is about to begin . Now is your time . "
In the deepest part of the Ocean of the Forbidden Spirit, an old man with blue hair and an abyssal-like aura arrived before a dark red mountain and brought his fists together .
"Mm . "
Several ancient voices echoed from deep inside the mountain, followed by majestic rays that soared into the sky and shook the ocean . The rays gathered into a dark blue enormous sword that slashed at the mountain's entrance .
There was no explosion . It felt more like an aged door was being opened, as if some kind of seal had just been broken .
The blue-haired old man glanced ahead and immediately saw a spacious hall deep inside the mountain covered in various kinds of god glows . Several ice coffins emitting wisps of icy intent floated inside the hall .
Inside the coffins were cultivators who were still emitting formidable auras even though they were deeply asleep .
Every cultivator was a Martial Monarch Realm expert and most of them were peak Martial Monarchs . Only a few were ninth-layer Martial Monarchs .
"Ten thousand years of being frozen in ice to become the ancient gods, the bindings of Yin and Yang has been cleared . . . " The ancient voices appeared once again in a majestic tone .
The ice coffins shuddered as the ice began to melt . The eyelids of the cultivators twitched as if they would spring open at any second .
The eerie sight did not only take place in the Ocean Tribe but in the other seven ancient tribes as well . The same situation was also occurring in the Three Great Factions, the God Beast Forbidden Ground, the Lost Herb Garden, and other places .
The ice coffins were made of Ancient Ice Marrow and other kinds of rare materials, and were forged with some secret method .
It was able to freeze the remaining life force and strength of a cultivator and preserve them for five thousand years with the energy provided from the materials .
In other words, if a Martial Monarch's lifespan only had thirty years left, after entering the ice coffin and opening it again in five thousand years, he would still have thirty years’ lifespan remaining, with no decline in his cultivation .
Many factions would forge the ice coffins to freeze the Martial Monarchs whose lives were coming to an end yet had failed to achieve the Martial God Realm . The ice coffins would open prior to the following God Horoscope Contest .
After all, since the God Ranking and Monarch Ranking had modified the rules of cultivation, the Monarch Horoscope Contest and God Horoscope Contest only took place every hundred years .
As such, there were not many Martial Monarchs and Martial Gods in every faction . If they did not rely on the ice coffins, their faction’s strength would decline significantly .
That being said, the method was rather costly too, thus only those above the eighth-layer Martial Monarch Realm were permitted to enter the ice coffins .
"Send a message to the three elders, let's begin!"
Not only did the factions wake the Martial Monarchs up, but they also activated the powerful artifacts they owned .
The people and disciples of every faction immediately sensed terrifying auras rising into the sky .
Normally, every faction would not go so far for the God Horoscope Contest .
However, without exaggerating, the current God Horoscope Contest would simply determine the future of the entire continent .
They had to give their best!
Meanwhile, in the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, in a mysterious restricted area . . .
Two old men showed up, who turned out to be the wills of the Spirits of the God Ranking and Monarch Ranking .
"Mm?"
The Spirits of the God Ranking and Monarch Ranking were astounded .
Before them stood an enormous altar over twenty-seven thousand zhang wide which looked like a huge mountain . Its bottom was carved with countless ancient runes that were glowing like immortal flowers from the Nine Heavens .
On top of that, above the altar floated countless cultivators, each lacking life force and covered in bruises . Fresh blood kept dropping from their wounds into the ancient formation on the altar .
The sight was somewhat terrifying .
"You're performing blood sacrifice on eighty thousand cultivators? No wonder you've broken the rules and recruited the cultivators from the Middle Continent . . . "
The Spirits of the God Ranking and Monarch Ranking inhaled deeply .
"You two, it's been a while . "
A voice appeared as a middle-aged man in a white long robe, a golden crown on his head, and a face covered in ancient runes approached them from the distance .
He did not bother concealing his overwhelming presence .
"Heaven God Canglan!"
The Spirits of the God Ranking and Monarch Ranking were startled .
They were as intimidated by the man as they were by the South-Heaven Gate .
"We initially planned to sacrifice millions of cultivators to deal with you two, yet we never thought another remarkable genius would appear once again in this mere continent . Such a pity . "
The middle-aged man let out a sigh .
"Sacrifice millions of cultivators?"
The Spirit of the God Ranking uttered a hollow laugh with a twisted expression, "Hehe, as expected of Heaven God Canglan, to use such an extreme move . "
"We'll get straight to business . In these nine years, we've made all the preparations . Only the final step is left before we can activate the Heaven-Striding Formation, to receive the geniuses from the Lu Clan of the Nine Heavens here . "
The Spirit of the South-Heaven Gate said, "We'll need you two's help to isolate it . Leave the rest to me and Heaven God Lu . "
"Not a problem . "
The God Ranking and Monarch Ranking nodded without hesitation .
"Ferocious blood of the four directions, changes to the laws of the Heavens and Earth, the predefined rules of the world . . . "
The Spirit of the South-Heaven Gate immediately made his move . A boundless blue glow entered the altar like a magnificent river .
"Void of the Heavens and Earth!"
The Spirits of the God Ranking and Monarch Ranking immediately followed up by unleashing the force of the rules .
"Immortal Eyes, open!"
Heaven God Lu groaned as wisps of immortal glow burst out from his body . They condensed into an ancient immortal eye as his Immortal Root and the power of his bloodline were activated .
His eyes began to perform several ancient hand seals .
Summoning the geniuses of the Nine Heavens here to the Canglan Continent was a law-defying act . The preparations they had made over the past ten years were nowhere enough, thus he was required to pay a small price too .
BANG!
A few hundred breaths later, following a terrifying explosion, the ancient altar began to activate, as a blinding glow spread into the surroundings, lighting up the entire place as bright as day .
