The New Death Realm.
The wind was howling, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded by a black curtain.
The pitch-black raindrops poured down like a stream, splashing a thick gray fog of death on the ground.
A city southwest of the New Death Realm.
Countless undead creatures holding weapons were nailed to the ground like sculptures, with empty eyes staring into the distance.
The whole city was surrounded by a dull atmosphere. There were no lights and prosperity here, only a dark and murderous atmosphere.
The society composed of undead creatures was like hell in a horror story.
At this time, in a corner of the city, a dark green flame was ignited in the winding downward passage, and hundreds of blood slaves were suspended in the dungeon space at the end of the passage.
Their eyes were empty, and they had long been numb to their situation.
When Su Nian woke up slowly, he saw Guru standing in front of him, putting his hand on his chest, helping him to operate the blood and flesh sacrifice technique.
The warm current continued to flow into his body along Guru's hand, and the death energy was constantly sucked away.
But Su Nian knew that this method was only a temporary solution. He had stayed in this field for too long, and his body had been seriously depleted. Guru's method could not save his fading life.
After a long time, Guru withdrew his hand:
"Teacher, you are awake."
Su Nian nodded weakly, and was about to speak, but saw Guru raised his left hand.
In the palm of Guru's left hand, there was a space bracelet that he was very familiar with.
This space bracelet was given to him by Feng Qi, the leader of the human race, before the long journey began. He regarded it as a treasure and was his greatest support during the long journey.
He didn't expect that Guru actually brought the space bracelet back.
"How did you do it?"
"Teacher, due to my identity, I cannot conduct a detailed investigation. I was just looking for the space bracelet through observation. As a result, I found that the owner's child was wearing this space bracelet, so I took advantage of the black rain outside to kill it and took back your space bracelet."
"Have you dealt with the body?"
"It has been dealt with. I refined its body and decomposed the dead energy core, which has been absorbed by me."
Su Nian was not surprised to hear that Guru absorbed the dead energy core.
As a universal practice, the blood and flesh sacrifice is not only reflected in the consumption of qi and blood. The blood and flesh sacrifice can also help Guru quickly devour the dead energy for cultivation and growth.
When he first practiced the blood and flesh sacrifice, the main practice resource was spirit stones, and the monthly share of blood crystal stones was very small.
This is also the reason why the blood and flesh sacrifice is called a universal practice.
After understanding the whole story, Su Nian reached out and took the space bracelet handed by Guru.
The consciousness touched the space bracelet lightly, and the scene inside suddenly appeared in front of him.
He found that in addition to the items he had stored in his space bracelet, there were also many blood crystals obtained by refining blood and blood, and death crystals obtained by refining death energy.
Su Nian ignored the other things and looked at the statue
of faith. This was the gift he was going to give to Guru.
With this statue of faith, Guru could also borrow the power of the great leader Feng Qi like the believers of the human race.
Guru's growth would be twice as effective with half the effort.
Taking the statue of faith out of the space bracelet, Su Nian reached out to wipe the statue of faith, and suddenly tears filled his eyes.
This belief was the motivation for him to continue struggling to survive in this dark dungeon. He wanted to end his life countless times in torture, but he still persisted.
Feng Qi once said:
Our bodies will be destroyed, but the dawn faith we have condensed will not be erased, and will be passed on forever, inspiring the next generation.
The inheritance of faith will only last forever.
This time, Su Nian decided to pass on his dawn faith to Guru.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
Facing Guru's curious question, Su Nian shook his head, reached out to wipe the crystal from the corner of his eyes, and then handed the statue of faith in his hand to Guru:
"This statue of faith is the last gift given to you by the teacher."
After taking the statue of faith and looking at the strange figure holding the Book of Wisdom and the Sword of Dawn on the statue, Guru suddenly felt that this gift was extremely heavy. The
statue was very light, but the ideal faith that gave it to break the shackles was very heavy.
"Gulu, in the next period of time, I will teach you how to open the faith connection, but before that, you need to have an extremely pious heart."
"You must remember that Feng Qi is the leader of my human race and can also be your spiritual leader. He can change your future."
Guru nodded solemnly at this time.
...
In the next period of time, Su Nian would teach Guru every time he woke up, and plant the seeds of faith deep in Guru's heart.
But Su Nian's body was getting worse day by day.
Sometimes Su Nian couldn't even wake up on his own initiative, and he needed to extract the dead air in his body with the help of Guru before he could wake up.
Su Nian knew that it would be difficult to fight against the entire tribe with Guru's power alone.
His second plan was to expand Guru's power to resist the powerful.
With Guru's efforts, five slaves who lived in the same tomb as Guru came to Su Nian.
In the following courses, Su Nian had five more undead disciples.
Like Guru, they went from initial confusion to fear and then to unwillingness.
After the boundaries of cognition were broken, they began to fear their numb lives, and their hearts grew resentment towards unfair fate.
This was exactly what Su Nian wanted to see.
As he expected, after countless struggles, these five disciples chose to embark on the path of resistance, and they all practiced the blood and flesh sacrifice technique together.
On this day, Guru sat cross-legged in front of Su Nian.
The blood and flesh sacrifice technique was running fast in the body, and strands of blood and qi energy appeared on the surface of the blood and qi crystals around it. Along with Guru's breathing, it flowed into his body, followed the guidance of consciousness, and ran in the body, nourishing the organs, tendons, bones and skin in the body.
The dead core in Guru's body greedily absorbed energy and became more condensed under the filling of blood and qi.
Now Guru has already surpassed Su Nian's strength when he entered the field of death.
But in Su Nian's opinion, Guru has obvious shortcomings in combat.
Blood and flesh sacrifice is the first skill that Guru practiced, but it is only a basic skill. Apart from that, Guru has not learned any major skills.
This is just one of Guru's shortcomings. More importantly, Guru does not know any combat skills at all.
Su Nian has no way to solve the problem of skills for Guru.
Because the skills of the human race are not suitable for Guru's special physique.
The only solution he can think of is to teach Guru the method of physical training.
Through his training, Guru's physical ability has made a leap forward in the next period of time. Guru seems to have a clear racial talent in this regard.
Guru's body is very special and has a strong resistance to pain. It can achieve tricky attack angles that are difficult for the human body to achieve. Even if the arm is broken in half, it can be easily restored.
This makes the training effect of physical skills outstanding.
In order to make Guru make up for his shortcomings in combat, Su Nian often let the other five undead disciples conduct confrontation training with Guru.
No one would have expected that the lowest-level slaves who were timid and skinny outside were growing at a rocket-like speed.
In addition to training in strength, Su Nian will also train Guru on how to become an excellent leader.
It is easy to attack a city but difficult to defend it. If Guru can overthrow the authority of the ruling class in the future, he will face new challenges.
Su Nian has long realized that if such a day really comes, Guru’s current ability will not be able to maintain the normal operation of the tribe.
He must pave the way for Guru.
As long as the plan succeeds, the Shuowang tribe led by Guru may become a subsidiary race of the human race.
As for Guru’s future, he thought of three possibilities.
The first possibility is that Guru’s struggle fails and he dies under the suppression of the ruling class.
The second possibility is that the faith of the entire Shuo Wang tribe will spread rapidly during Guru's rule, and the blood and flesh sacrifice will become the top practice for the development of the tribe. During this period, the entire Shuo Wang tribe will be branded with the blood sacrifice. When the human leader Feng Qi activates the blood and flesh cauldron one day in the future, Guru and his people will be refined into blood and flesh sacrifices and become part of the human race's power.
The third possibility is that they have been recognized by the human leader Feng Qi and have been granted the ability to be exempted from the blood and flesh sacrifice that may be successfully developed
. When that day comes, the Shuo Wang tribe will be led by Guru to glory. They will be blessed by the human race and become an affiliated or allied force of the human race. On the day when the Mo Yue Legion arrives, they will coexist with the human race.
But no matter which result, he can't see it.
What he has to do is to complete his last mission and plant the seeds of blood and flesh sacrifice. The future changes depend on Guru's own luck, not on him.
Time flows.
Another year has passed.
Under Su Nian's teachings, Guru's belief in Feng Qi gradually increased.
The same is true for the other five dead disciples.
Like Guru, they each manage four blood slave prisons, harvesting blood and flesh to meet the upper layer's demand for blood and energy.
After practicing the blood and flesh sacrifice, they strictly follow the plan formulated by Su Nian to steal blood and flesh energy bit by bit.
The blood and flesh sacrifice makes their bodies stronger, but when they are outside, they will shrink their own blood and energy into their bodies, and they are still humble and pitiful slaves in the eyes of the outside world.
On this day, Guru, who tried to establish a faith connection again, brought a surprise to Su Nian.
After years of hard work, Guru was finally able to connect to the faith space in an intermittent way.
Under Su Nian's guidance, it saw the golden surging sea of consciousness.
Next, Su Nian began to teach Guru how to choose and borrow talents.
At this time in the faith sea of consciousness.
Guru's consciousness group and Su Nian's consciousness group followed the faith track through the middle belt of the faith space surrounded by golden mist, and came to the sea of talents.
After passing through a layer of golden clouds, the scene in front of him shocked Guru.
The sea of talents as vast and dazzling as the starry sky appeared before his eyes.
Countless talent beads were arranged like stars, following the established talent sequence track, and slowly revolved around Fengqi's origin bead.
Under Su Nian's guidance, Guru tried to contact a talent bead.
Suddenly, a lot of information flooded into Guru's mind. The talent sequence, talent characteristics, sequelae of talent borrowing, and other information were recorded in detail in the faith panel by the staff of the Scarlet Research Institute.
"This is the faith talent I told you about. Each bead here represents a talent."
Su Nian's consciousness flew upwards.
Seeing this, Guru immediately followed.
Under Su Nian's introduction, Guru learned that the talent track here is divided into 32 tracks. The higher the talent track sequence, the higher the level, and the stronger the talent running on it.
When Guru asked which innate ability was the strongest, Su Nian's consciousness shook his head:
"The strongest innate ability is called the Blood God Body. This ability is only suitable for risking one's life, not for ordinary battles or cultivation."
Su Nian pointed to the Blood God Pearl running on the 8th sequence track of the innate track:
"I hope you don't need it."
Next, Su Nian began to teach Guru how to find innate abilities that suit him.
In order to let Guru better understand the classification and difference of innate abilities, Su Nian then took Guru to the faith database.
Teach it how to obtain knowledge from the faith data, which includes a list of all innate abilities. This list allows Guru to understand the characteristics of innate abilities in more detail, and then select the innate abilities that suit his combat mode through the introduction information of the abilities.
After doing all this, Su Nian's consciousness group and Guru returned to reality.
In the initial attempt, Su Nian only let Guru borrow those low-level innate abilities with weaker sequelae, so that Guru could understand the difference between different innate abilities.
In the days that followed, the other five dead spirit disciples also completed the faith connection one after another.
During this period, the Shuowang Clan launched an internal investigation.
According to Guru's description, the city he was in was a fiefdom controlled by Guru's master.
Guru's master was the ruler of the Shuowang Clan second only to the royal class, and could also be called a noble.
The disappearance of the heir made Guru's master furious. He began to realize that there were external invaders in the fiefdom, and his heir was killed by the invader.
For this reason, a large-scale search was launched inside and outside the city.
The blood slave prison managed by Guru was no exception. It was searched by the dead spirit warriors to investigate whether there might be hidden invaders hiding.
But Su Nian anticipated the possible search crisis in advance, and asked Guru to suspend himself in the air again before the dead spirit warriors arrived, avoiding two searches.
When the situation gradually calmed down, he was willing to let Guru put him down.
Su Nian was very clear about his physical condition.
He was able to hold on until now, thanks to Guru and the other five dead disciples who sent him blood and qi supplements from time to time, which kept him alive.
But now, Su Nian knew that his life was coming to an end.
On this day, Su Nian's health deteriorated rapidly.
From the beginning of this long journey, Su Nian had never thought about returning.
At the last moment of his life, he decided to teach Guru one last lesson.
After a violent cough, Su Nian wiped the red from the corner of his mouth, looked at Guru who was sitting in front of him and said:
"Gulu, you are not very curious about why I never let you borrow the power of the Blood God. Maybe you think this ability is very powerful, but this ability can only be used once for our human race. After using it, there is no possibility of survival."
"This time, I will let you see the power of the Blood God Body, the strongest physical amplification ability of our race."
"Teacher..."
Without waiting for Guru to speak, Su Nian waved his hand, and then struggled to stand up:
"Gulu, watch it."
As the voice fell, Su Nian's messy white hair danced without wind, and his gray eyes had turned into a strong blood fluctuation.
After opening the Blood God Body, the blood in the body gathered towards the heart. Every beat of the heart would squeeze the blood out of the body, turning into blood mist around the body.
Su Nian's body began to rise rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it reached a height of six meters.
Looking down at Gulu standing beside him, Su Nian reached out and rubbed Gulu's head:
"Gulu, if you have the opportunity to contact the human race after I die, send my ashes back to Star City, which is my hometown."
After the voice fell, Su Nian's eyes became firm, and his figure turned into a blood-colored streamer and ran towards the outside world.
In the dark night, the blood-colored figure cut through the sky.
Countless dead warriors standing like dead trees were suddenly awakened. They all raised their heads and looked sideways, looking at the figure coming from nowhere, and then raised their weapons.
"Kill!"
The anger suppressed in his heart for many years broke out completely at this moment.
Su Nian waved his fists and kept killing the dead warriors who blocked his way, rushing forward like a tiger jumping into a flock of sheep.
But due to physical reasons, Su Nian's qi and blood were seriously deficient. He couldn't help vomiting blood after a while, and the qi and blood power condensed on his body surface also slowly dissipated like smoke waves with the wind.
But Su Nian did not stop fighting.
In the way of venting power, he declared that he had been here.
More and more undead warriors came to surround and kill him. Su Nian was knocked down and stood up again, dragging his body to continue fighting, but his fists were getting weaker and weaker.
In the killing, scenes from the past emerged in Su Nian's mind.
At that time, he was the pride of heaven in everyone's eyes, the best of the new generation, and was personally received by the leader of the human race, Feng Qi.
This pride engraved in his bones has never been lost.
At that time, he yearned for the mysterious outside world and wanted to experience the bizarre things that only existed in textbooks. After
many years of journey, countless hardships and surprises intertwined in his mind.
This is his life.
Working hard for the rise of the human race is his life goal, and he will never give up until his death.
Finally, the faces of his parents emerged in Su Nian's mind, and a touch of crystal appeared in the corner of his eyes.
The only regret he had in his life was that he could not see his parents off.
"Dad, Mom, Su Nian will not let you down, never."
"Kill!"
With a roar, Su Nian rushed forward without hesitation to the countless undead warriors surrounding him, and threw his last punch with all his strength.
I smile at the sky with my sword, and I will leave my heart and soul to Kunlun.
At this time, at the entrance of the blood slave prison, Guru knelt on the ground, and the undead warriors running towards Su Nian kept passing by him. His eyes looked at Su Nian who had opened the body of the blood god.
Seeing Su Nian vomiting blood under the siege of the undead warriors, he stabbed his hands into the soil, and his five fingers kept tightening.
In Su Nian, he felt the family affection he had never had before.
This was the warmth that his parents had never given him.
Looking back on the past, he was still a confused slave at that time, and there would be no change in his life. He could see the end of his life at a glance.
It was Su Nian who changed it, and it was Su Nian who taught it to grow up and made it understand many truths.
Although he called Su Nian a teacher, in Guru's eyes, Su Nian was his relative.
This family affection became stronger with companionship.
But at this moment, it was powerless to change the status quo.
Looking at Su Nian who fell to the ground and vomited blood under the siege, Guru clenched the soil with his hands, and the flames of anger ignited in his eyes.
"Teacher, I will succeed and will never let you down."
Su Nian's last lesson taught Guru a truth.
Even if he was imprisoned, the flame of changing his fate and fighting in his heart would never go out.
