I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

The musings of Red Fire Luwu are not without reason; if it had such a grand array, it wouldn’t have been ambushed by the Feiyi last time.

Only by getting beaten up can one understand the importance of having a grand array for protection.

Its shoulder was pierced by the Bow-carrying Spirit Monster, and under the burning of the Supreme Yang Flame, a sticky, ice-like black water continuously oozed from the wound, turning into black smoke.

Though injured, it also severely wounded a Tier Five Spirit Monster, which was its biggest victory in years.

Besides, it had retrieved both the Spirit Fruit and the Spirit Tree.

Shen Can was examining the Golden Crow Bow, with its entire bronze-cast body emitting a chill, as cold Yin Qi seeped out from deep within the bow.

Clearly, the Golden Crow Rune, embodying the ultimate Yang, was completely washed away of its Fire Qi by the Yin Qi.

As his Divine Sense entered the interior of the Golden Crow Bow, Shen Can sensed a dim ’space,’ an Artifact Spirit Realm autonomously opened up after the witch artifact gave birth to an artifact spirit.

Inside the Artifact Spirit Realm, a Three-legged Golden Crow was curled up, the brilliance of the Dao of Fire long extinguished, with the entire Golden Crow Artifact Spirit turned black.

Wreathing the artifact spirit was strands of cold, deathly Yin Qi, even condensing into droplets on its body, making it impossible to feel the slightest sign of life.

In this state, you would say the Golden Crow Bow has an artifact spirit, but the spirit is dead.

Say it doesn’t have one, and yet it does.

Additionally, Shen Can felt that the Spirit Monster did not seem to have forging abilities, so how did this Golden Crow Bow end up in the Earth Cave?

Evidently, a Tier Five Martial Artist had entered the Earth Cave long ago, possibly due to bad luck, both the bow and the person were left there.

"Buzz!"

Shen Can summoned the Breaking Spear, channeling a Divine Fire from it into the Golden Crow Bow.

The peak Yang and ultimate Divine Fire faced the obstruction of the cold deathly Yin Qi upon entering the Artifact Spirit Realm, causing sizzling collisions and intense shaking within the realm.

Shen Can immediately lowered the intensity of the Divine Fire, letting strands of it enter the Artifact Spirit Realm, unfortunately, the small scale Divine Fire couldn’t even disperse the cold deathly Yin Qi, as it was directly extinguished.

The Artifact Spirit of the Golden Crow Bow was critically ill, forcibly refining it with Divine Fire would cause the Artifact Spirit Realm and even the entire Golden Crow Bow to collapse.

Using a small amount of Divine Fire, however, lacks the strength to dispel the cold deathly Yin Qi.

This is a peak Yang, ultimate bow engraved with the Golden Crow Witch Rune, to think that its flames could be extinguished shows just how formidable the cold deathly Yin Qi inside the Earth Cave is.

"How is it?"

Seeing Shen Can put down the Golden Crow Bow, Red Fire Luwu spoke.

It did not say it would try; the Divine Fire in Shen Can’s hand was not weaker than its Lifebound Beast Fire. If Shen Can couldn’t dispel the cold deathly Yin Qi of the Golden Crow Bow, then it was equally powerless.

Regarding witch artifacts, Red Fire Luwu wasn’t quite interested, naturally indifferent towards them; it still favored its claws, horn, and tail, which were like three witch artifacts to it.

Next, Red Fire Luwu took out the Spirit Fruit Tree.

"We agreed to split it evenly."

Looking at the fruit on the tree, Red Fire Luwu swallowed its saliva.

Finally, it had snatched a meal from the Earth Cave.

With a ’sizzle,’ the Spirit Fruit was split in half, and Red Fire Luwu immediately opened its mouth to devour its half.

However, it didn’t swallow it directly; the Spirit Fruit contained rich cold Yin Qi, so it activated a gentle flame in its mouth to start expelling the cold Qi from the fruit.

Alas, the effect wasn’t particularly good.

Helpless, it could only swallow it whole and refine the essence of the Spirit Fruit first, leaving the side effects of the cold Yin Qi for later, to be slowly eliminated.

Shen Can did not eat the Spirit Fruit directly; he sealed half of the Spirit Fruit with the intention to see if he could remove the cold Yin Qi later.

Afterwards,

The man and the beast began to recover their depleted blood energy, Shen Can gulped down the Witch Pill prepared for him by his tribe.

Red Fire Luwu lay beside him, seemingly in a slumber, even s​​​​noring.

The Ao Turtle Grand Array slowly operated, merging into the surrounding forest.

This grand array was exactly from the Ao Mountain Bo Division, turned into a portable small Tier Five Array after Shen Can repaired and understood it.

Within a thousand miles outside the grand array, a Wild Beast resembling a long snake, but with two pairs of wings and eight legs, hovered in the air, looking around.

This beast was the Plague Beast King of the Giant Mountain Range, the Eight-legged Feiyi.

It flew while opening its mouth to devour the surrounding currents, arriving at the resting place of Shen Can and Luwu.

Through devouring the currents, it captured the lingering flame aura from its old adversary, Red Fire Luwu.

But upon reaching here, the aura disappeared.

"The old reptile seems to have acquired new tricks."

After circling around the grand array several times, the Eight-legged Feiyi flashed a hint of surprise in its triangular eyes.

It had squatted at the entrance of the Earth Cave for years precisely to ambush Tier Five creatures entering it.

Though it’s a plague beast, releasing the plague isn’t always feasible.

Without heaps of corpses, spreading a large-scale plague is difficult, especially as the intense sun deters its spread.

To other creatures, the searing heat left by the Golden Crow passing years ago has dissipated.

But to the Eight-legged Feiyi, the temperature in the southern region of the Giant Mountain Range remained higher than before.

In days when it couldn’t release the plague, it could only wait by the Earth Cave, managing to scrape by by ambushing creatures entering the cave.

At this moment, the Eight-legged Feiyi was still unwilling to give up, continuing to search around the forest where the grand array was located.
