Divine-level Base

Chapter 163 - 162: Sacrifice

"Your Majesty!!"

Ah Fei Fei gave a bitter smile, opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. It transformed into a black snake to shield his right side as he shot backward.

The Steel Beast lunged forward and slashed down. Its blade shattered the black snake Ah Fei Fei had formed and continued on to strike him viciously.

A distorted Membrane of Spiritual Power, resembling snake scales, appeared on Ah Fei Fei’s body, deflecting most of the Power. The Steel Beast’s slash only managed to open a gash on Ah Fei Fei’s body so deep that bone was visible.

A tail like a Sharp Sword shot out, piercing deep into the gash the Steel Beast had just made in Ah Fei Fei. It tore upward, and with a violent tug, ripped him clean in two.

The light faded from Ah Fei Fei’s eyes. His body trembled once, then fell to the earth as a corpse.

A pained look flashed in Su Hamu III’s eyes as he crushed a red crystal in his hand.

Within the Imperial Palace, an incredibly mysterious Magic Array appeared. It flared with light, enveloping Su Hamu III.

From Ah Fei Fei’s corpse, a Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night flew out and landed in Su Hamu III’s hands.

With a faint flash of light, Su Hamu III vanished.

Faint red lights appeared on the bodies of Hanani, Hassina, Saren, and Su Limo, swirling around them.

The next moment, the four of them and the Ghost-devouring Demons beneath them were enveloped by the red Teleportation Light and vanished on the spot.

Hassina’s vision blurred, and she found herself in an immense underground palace.

In the center of the underground palace stood a ten-meter-tall Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night, which radiated a sinister Charm. Below the statue was an equally massive Blood Pool.

Su Hamu III smiled grimly and fired his Spiritual Spear, the [Blue Dragon].

Beams of blue light slammed into the four Ghost-devouring Demons, blasting them to pieces one by one.

The stunningly beautiful Empress Saren, her face streaked with tears, pleaded desperately, "Your Majesty, for the sake of our marriage, I beg you, please spare our children!!"

Su Limo shouted, "Father, stop! If you stop now, it’s not too late! Our family can leave the Leiyin Republic and live in hiding. As long as we keep a low profile, the people from the Guardian Flame will never find us!!"

"Saren, I can’t stop! I must break our family’s bloodline curse! I will obtain Power and long life! For the sake of our marriage, I can grant you one mercy: you won’t have to watch the tragedy that is to come!"

Su Hamu III sighed faintly, then shot Saren in the head, blowing his wife’s head apart.

Disbelief flashed in Hassina’s beautiful eyes as she let out a heart-wrenching shriek, "Mother!!"

Hanani, her face a mask of Despair and Fear, begged softly, "Father, don’t. I beg you, please stop. We’re your own children."

"You should be grateful. Once I break the curse in our bloodline, our clan will gain immense Power. In the future, nothing will be able to stop our rise."

Su Hamu III’s gaze fell upon Su Limo. He smiled gently and said, "Su Limo, my outstanding son, you will sacrifice yourself for our clan, won’t you?"

Tears streamed down Su Limo’s face as he roared, "Su Hamu III, you are not my father! You are a Demon! A damned Demon!!"

"A pity you cannot comprehend my greatness!!"

A dim light flashed in Su Hamu III’s eyes before he shot Su Limo, shattering his head.

The palm-sized Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night opened its mouth and sucked in Su Limo’s Essence Blood, turning him into a dried-up corpse.

Seeing this, Hanani’s beautiful face twisted in Fear as she shrieked, "Father, don’t kill me!! Please, don’t kill me!!"

Su Hamu III smiled faintly. "Hanani, rest assured. You are the Saintess I have chosen to serve my Lord. Hassina is the vessel for my Lord’s resurrection."

Hanani felt a wave of relief, followed by a surge of guilt. ’I actually feel relieved? I’m such a shameless person.’

"Su Hamu III, from this day forward, you are no longer my father."

Hassina stared daggers at Su Hamu III, tears of blood streaming from her eyes as she spoke, word by word.

"Hassina, you should feel honored. My Lord, a great Divine Spirit, will be reborn through your body. You will be the glory of our clan."

Su Hamu III smiled faintly, chanted an incantation, and pointed at the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night in his hand.

The Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night opened its mouth and spat out a stream of golden blood containing a trace of a sacred aura, which shot into Hassina’s body.

Hassina screamed. Her delicate body trembled, blue veins bulged from her snow-white skin, and she began to struggle in agony, foaming at the mouth.

BOOM!!

"Stop!!"

With a furious roar, an elevator was blasted to pieces, and the Steel Beast burst out from inside.

"Shu Feng? You’re a step too late!! Hahaha!!"

Su Hamu III laughed loudly as he took out a blue treasure box and poured Spiritual Power into it.

Black smoke billowed from the blue box, coalescing in mid-air to form a ten-meter-tall black Giant. It was covered in mysterious runes and radiated an Evil Aura.

A beam of black light shot out from the blue box and into the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night in the center of the room.

The Blood Pool below began to boil, transforming into a blood mist that flew into the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night.

The Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night seemed to come alive, radiating a bizarre, evil, and mysterious aura. A ray of light shot from between its brows and landed on the black Giant.

The black Giant spread its five fingers, and a black Barrier appeared.

CLANG!

The Steel Beast, now in its Two-stage Transformation, slashed at the black Barrier, creating a terrifyingly loud noise. A crack appeared on the black Barrier, but it healed rapidly.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The Steel Beast was incredibly ferocious, swinging its blade madly and hacking at the black Barrier, creating crack after crack.

"Shu Feng, your Summoned Beast is strong! But a pity for you, the preparations our clan has made in this country to lift our curse are far beyond what you can imagine!"

Su Hamu III gave a chilling smile. With a wave of his hand, a blue key transformed into a streak of light and flew into the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night.

A light flashed within the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night, and a pillar of black light shot up into the sky.
