I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

"Isn’t it just the Red Sun Divine Fire? I refuse to believe that in this vast Great Wilderness, we can’t find a new Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire."

There was a hint of unwillingness in Ancestor Bi Fang’s eyes as he kept looking back at the clan land.

"Ancestor, we do have a chance to return. Now that Blazing Flame is out, the Holy Envoy Race won’t let this go easily. They will definitely take action. If these two clans end up defeating each other, we Bi Fang will have a chance to return."

Lord Bi Fang tugged at the Ancestor’s sleeve, quickly heading into the distance.

Dragged for a few steps, Ancestor Bi Fang finally made a decision in his heart.

"Let’s go. As long as there’s life, there’s hope. Once I advance to Tier Five, I’ll immediately help you advance to Tier Five with all my strength. Our Bi Fang Bo Division will definitely rise again."

Ancestor Bi Fang pondered. Earlier, Shen Can’s method of defeating the Holy Envoy Race’s Tier Five Great Witch really frightened him.

With such a method, once Shen Can personally arrives, even the array passed down from our ancestors might not withstand Shen Can’s attack.

The array passed down by Bi Fang is completely different from the array of the Blazing Flame Bo Division, couldn’t withstand the sustained brutal attacks of Tier Five.

It’s ridiculous. The Blazing Flame Bo Division’s array is entirely different from the array style of Yongyi.

He’s lived for over a thousand years and has never seen such a ridiculous array.

Since activating the array might not hold, defending it to the death is the worst strategy. Therefore, Bi Fang had started planning follow-up measures a long time ago.

If it can’t be defended to the death, then leave.

Take the array and belongings to another place and start all over again. With the Three-Transformation Condensation Method, Tier Five is within reach anyway.

"It’s a pity for the Divine Fire of our clan!"

With that said, the two quickly rushed into the distance. But after flying a certain distance, they landed and began to disguise themselves, blending into a caravan hastily leaving the Bi Fang Ruins Market.

...

Rumble!

Within the Bi Fang clan land, magnificent buildings and the Clan Hall exploded with a roar, one deep pit after another emerged on the ground.

At this moment, not a single Bi Fang Martial Artist came out to stop it. From Divine Treasure tier to ordinary clan members, all were fleeing in panic.

The Clan Leader was nowhere to be seen.

The Elders were nowhere to be seen.

The Sacrificial Spirits, nowhere to be seen either.

...

"You’ve gone too far!"

Finally, in the middle of the Bi Fang clan land, next to the core volcano area outside the Ancestral Temple, came a furious roar.

At this moment, the Old Profound Turtle had already entered the Bi Fang clan land and could see the Bi Fang Ancestral Temple at a glance.

Its majestic height reached a hundred meters, but the Bi Fang Ancestral Temple had already collapsed halfway due to the Witch Cannon bombardment.

Inside the ruined Ancestral Temple, four bronze statues of Bi Fang stood tall, and within each Sacrificial Artifact bronze statue, a figure flickered rapidly.

When Bi Fang was attacked, these four Sacrificial Spirits in the temple never came out to block it, now only roaring impotently in the ruins.

The four of them were Martial Artists from several generations ago in Bi Fang, whose remnant souls were drawn after their death and transformed into the clan’s Sacrificial Spirits.

Among the four Sacrificial Spirits, three had grown feathers, and one even had red wings.

It’s common to undergo beast transformation when practicing the methods of observing Wild Beasts, but it’s the first time Huo Shan has encountered someone who retains beast transformation marks even after death, becoming a Sacrificial Spirit.

"Prepare Witch Arrows."

Huo Shan coldly ordered, the giant crossbows on the tower flatly aimed at the Sacrificial Spirits in the Bi Fang Ancestral Temple.

"We are all Human Race, yet you disregard the bond of the same clan..."

Fire!

Over a hundred giant witchcraft arrows, dragging tails of Witch Light, boomed and covered the Bi Fang Ancestral Temple.

Flames raged, engulfing the entire Ancestral Temple, with debris shattering in all directions. The Sacrificial Artifacts were blown away, twisted into a blob and flying out.

Three of the four Sacrificial Spirits instantly perished in the flames, while the remaining one, even though it rushed out of the blast range, was as thin as smoke.

He fluttered his semi-transparent wings, darting like a stream of light, fearing being hit again. Yet no matter how he ran, he couldn’t escape the attack range of Blazing Flame.

"Save me!"

"Why are you running? Come back and offer your Wish Power!"

While dodging frantically, the Sacrificial Spirit cursed at the fleeing Bi Fang clan people.

His gaze swept across the clan land in search of Lord Bi Fang, but after scanning back and forth several times, he saw no trace of Lord Bi Fang other than the panicked clan people fleeing.

Not only was there no sign of the Lord, but even the Ancestor, Elders, and many Commanders were all missing.

"Is this the famous Bi Fang?"

Looking at the blazing Bi Fang clan land, quite a few observing figures outside were somewhat incredulous; the Bi Fang Bo Division was breached so easily.

Where are the ones resisting?

"The ones who dared to resist were all crushed outside the Bi Fang Ruins Market."

"Look at Lord Bi Fang; as the leader of a race, he hasn’t come out even now. Could he be in closed-door cultivation and didn’t hear a thing?"

"Even Lord Bi Fang is missing. Treating the tribe as something outside oneself, yet wanting the clan people to resist to the death?"

...

Behind the Bi Fang clan land, Shen Can put the corpses of Lord Bi Fang and the Ancestor into the Witch Pouch.

These two guys ran a bit slow. If they wanted to run, they should have abandoned everything and fled long ago.

Yet seeing them blending into the merchant caravan, it also seemed as if they had a pre-arranged escape plan.

In short, they appeared eager to flee, but their escape was neither decisive nor efficient.

Returning to the Bi Fang Bo Division territory, Shen Can landed above the volcano of the Bi Fang clan land. Looking down, the Bi Fang Bo Division had completely collapsed, with the clan people scattering in all directions.

A tribe that had been passed down for eight thousand years couldn’t possibly lack the ability to organize resistance, dispersing and fleeing after just one attack—this wasn’t an ordinary small tribe.

It was quite evident that the mainstay of the Bi Fang Bo Division had long been extracted, leaving behind only those abandoned.

In the Bi Fang’s volcano forge, where the last time it was buzzing with continuous human chatter, various forging tools were now discarded haphazardly on the ground, not a single figure in sight.

Other than the Fire Dragon Wall guarding outside the volcano, another Guardian Array that originally existed here was also gone.

The Kui Ox Iron Bridge spanning the lava was also absent; instead, traces of this iron bridge were found in the Witch Pouch of Lord Bi Fang.

Shen Can glanced at the sky; not even a single Holy Envoy remained, but unfortunately, the awaited Great Witch Priest still hadn’t arrived.

He walked into the volcano where Bi Fang had previously constructed Witch Weapons. The flames roiled violently, with the barrier inside the volcano on the verge of collapse after losing its watch.

Given that part of the Bi Fang clan people had long been arranged to leave, for Lord Bi Fang and Ancestor Bi Fang to remain until now, it couldn’t possibly be just for a Kui Ox Iron Bridge.

Inside the volcano, amidst the surging magma like dragons in motion, a rich quantity of Fire Source Power continuously poured onto Shen Can.

Soon, Shen Can detected an extremely subtle spiritual essence flowing within the flames.

After capturing this spiritual essence and following the direction of its flow, he finally sensed a golden-glowing area about ten feet in size beneath the bubbling magma.

Interwoven dense fire patterns were present, and upon the initial sensing with the Divine Sense, the number was somewhat uncountable.

This cluster of golden light was like pure jade liquid, shrouded in strands of golden glow, intensely hot, akin to a small sun embedded within the magma, exuding a rich Fire Spiritual Mechanism.

The moment the Divine Sense touched, a Three-legged Firebird burst out, crashing into the Divine Sense.

The Divine Sense released by Shen Can exploded instantly, forcing him to retreat immediately.

Tier Five Divine Flame.

Shen Can immediately made a judgment; Tier Four-level Spiritual Objects could no longer exert such overwhelming pressure on him.

While it appeared to be a flowing cluster of golden flame essence, it was actually an extremely brilliant flame, but it was so pure that it coalesced into a cluster by itself.

At the moment he laid eyes on this cluster of fire, Shen Can felt it could be used to temper his body.

This fire was too pure.

Now he understood why Lord Bi Fang and Ancestor Bi Fang didn’t leave; they must have intended to take this flame with them, but unfortunately, even with both of them taking action, they couldn’t move the flame.

This was no longer a Spiritual Object that a Witch Pouch could contain; it seems that even before placing it in the Witch Pouch, the pouch would be burned to ashes.

As for carrying it physically, clearly, the strength of these two guys wasn’t up to the task.

Shen Can’s Divine Sense scanned the two skeletons in the Witch Pouch again, and indeed found many scars on them that were obviously new. Some had even burned to the bone.

Even scars from burns that couldn’t be erased on bodies at the Peak of Divine Treasure indicate these two had tried hard.

But alas, their strength was too poor to take away this cluster of Tier Five Divine Flame.

Shen Can tried using his Divine Sense to sense again, but at the moment it touched the golden flame, more than half of it was burned away again.

Chirp!

The Three-legged Firebird appeared once more, instantly scorching the Divine Sense away.

Clearly, to seize this essence of Huo Yaan, one must subdue this Firebird.
