Chapter 1020 Three Thousand Lustful Sacrifices
Tiger Corpse suddenly unleashed a powerful attack, trapping Lord Shen with a Heavenly Star.

Upon seeing this, Zhou You's body trembled, and he felt a sudden itch being tickled.

This move is similar in principle to the Doumu Xuanpin Transfer Technique.

Between the tiger's claws lay the spatial power of the infinite starry sky, encompassing billions of beings.

Lord Shen was not trapped in a small area, but rather surrounded by an endless starry sky. No matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the area covered by the tiger corpse's palm.

Such a flash of inspiration, even if it only happens once, is worth the risk of watching.

Zhou You's ten fingers twitched, eager to practice the Transfer Technique on the spot and absorb the essence of Tiger Corpse's move, Playing with the Heavenly Star.

Previously, Zhou You had been practicing the Mind Demon Ring behind closed doors, and thought he had made some progress in the Transfer Technique.

But after seeing the tiger corpse, he realized that even after reaching the Great Perfection stage, it was still no match for the 'Playing Star' of the tiger corpse's finger.

Sigh, I finally came across a technique I could understand, only to see a disheartening gap in skill.

But isn't this precisely the significance of catching up with predecessors in the world of martial arts?

Life is a vast and uncertain journey. On the grand path paved by martial arts, if there is no one ahead, you can only run wildly, not knowing how fast or slow you are. You will never catch up with the goal ahead, which you can always refer to and adjust your direction, speed, and state.

The reason why these top sects of the world are so distressed is that the Martial Saint has not appeared in the world for many years, so there is no reference point and they can only rely on themselves to overcome the difficulties.

"I never expected that Tiger Corpse, the ancestor of Dayin Mountain, could still have the power to educate me!"

The "Reverse Palm Martial Arts School" function appears in Zhou You's palm. The panel determines that if the situation meets the requirements, one-way learning can be performed.

He frantically absorbed the practical details of 'Playing with the Heavenly Star', summarized and categorized them through the panel, and then deduced them using the Formless Bronze Giant, making them one of the nutrients for his own cultivation of the Transfer Technique.

In a short time, he elevated the theoretical foundation of the Transfer Technique to the level of centuries of achievement.

The situation reached a stalemate, and the deciding factor was whether Lord Shen could break free from his predicament or be trapped and killed by the tiger corpse.

Just then, the treacherous demon finally revealed his true purpose, and with a maniacal laugh, he launched his final plan.

"I will sacrifice three thousand lewd offerings to ruin your kingdom and cause the Nine Cauldrons to descend and suppress you, Lord Shen!"

This plan was not intended to be kept secret; its most important purpose was to inform Lord Shen.

Lord Shen, who was trapped in the tiger corpse's palm, suddenly raised his staff, pointing it upwards at the tiger corpse's right palm and downwards at its left palm.

He asked, "Tiger Corpse, is this what you wanted: to destroy the Southern Frontier?"

"Lord Shen, what do I care whether the world survives or perishes?"

The tiger corpse grinned maliciously, "All I want is to beat you."

Lord Shen's all-out breakout attack ultimately failed because he was trapped in the tiger's corpse's palm.

The moment Zhou You heard about the Three Thousand Lustful Sacrifice, he suddenly realized why the wicked demon had gone to the North to observe the birth of the Nine Cauldrons; it turned out he had gone to seek the scriptures, imitating the Great Sacrifice of the Floating Jade Dao Master for all living beings.

The Three Thousand Lewd Sacrifices, as the name suggests, must have been held in more than one place, spread throughout the southern border regions.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to deploy a large number of people and create a large-scale spectacle.

But today's decisive battle has drawn everyone in southern Xinjiang to the border, leaving other areas almost undefended.

Because the demon race had also gathered here, Lord Shen's thirty-six disciples had all mobilized their main forces.

Yuan Fazhu was somewhat agitated. "Where did he find the people to perform the lewd rituals?"

"Lustful sacrifice," as the name suggests, is an irregular form of worship, usually performed by cults or other unorthodox groups.

Three thousand may be a figure of speech, but in actual operation, there are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, requiring a massive number of people.

"It's those remnants, they've risen from the ashes!" A thought flashed through Yuan Fazhu's mind, and his face turned pale as he shouted towards Lord Shen, "Master, we've fallen into a trap!"

Falling Axe Mountain...

Since the Demon King's half-body was stolen, this mountain has been like a peach with its flesh plucked out, attracting no attention anymore.

The corpse of the tiger fought with Lord Shen, wiping away half of the mountain, which has not yet recovered.

But at that moment, figures emerged from the ground and quickly began to set up.

"Quickly, quickly, quickly, set up the altar and begin the sacrifice!"

This is a local religious sect in southern Xinjiang, and they are natural allies with treacherous demons because the 'Nanjiangmu' they worship is one of the incarnations of a celestial maiden.
This sect once dominated the southern border region, but was later destroyed by Lord Shen and Yin Dao in a joint effort.

But even a centipede cannot die easily; the sect went underground and continued until the treacherous demons found them after entering the southern border.

Further afield, on Yingci Mountain...

On the altar, the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang knelt and worshipped heaven and earth. With the help of a group of demons, the object of her sacrifice was none other than... the Heavenly Maiden.

The little girl recited the words taught by the wicked demon. She didn't understand a single word, but she had already memorized them fluently.

In more and more distant places, altars emerged from the ground, and countless sects of demons and monsters used people as sacrifices or slaughtered villages as altars.

The Three Thousand Lustful Sacrifices took shape at an almost contagious pace.

It is often called a lewd sacrifice because it is bloody and primitive, and goes against the ethics and morality of today's world.

In an instant, the air was thick with the stench of fish and mutton, and the wind carried a cacophony of demonic sounds that pierced the mind. The sky seemed to be patched up, with countless colorful patches scattered and torn apart.

"The world is in chaos!"

Those who witnessed this scene had the most direct feelings.

Once upon a time, Yin Dao and Lord Shen were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. Together, they wiped out the demons and monsters of the southern border, transforming the treacherous environment into a place where people could live in peace.

But now, the remnants have returned, using lewd rituals to challenge local orthodoxy, and a corner of the country is teetering on the brink of collapse.

Anyone with eyes to see knows that the treacherous demon's goal is to overthrow the Southern Frontier and force out two of the Nine Cauldrons, but no one can stop him.

Such a large-scale plan has been brewing for a long time, with a cycle of hundreds of years. Its arrangements and layout are intricate and complex, and the loss of one point will not shake the whole situation.

In the aftermath of the devastating battle, once Lord Shen was trapped, three thousand floating sacrifices quickly emerged from all over the southern border.

In a short moment, an effect even more sensational than the grand sacrificial ceremony of the past was presented.

A corner of a massive nine-cauldron emerged from the ground and the sky, its handles and legs appearing in everyone's sight.

This was the second time Zhou You had witnessed it in person, and the shock and awe he felt were not diminished in the slightest. He heard a notification from the panel: "Analysis in progress, Nine Cauldrons Core Law, progress 1%."

Having learned from his previous experience, Zhou You knew that the words on the surface were meaningless; the real value lay in the logic behind the changes, that is, the internal laws of the Nine Tripods.

The Nine Tripods are presented to the public through the reflection of space, time, and higher dimensions.

The Golden Immortals in the crowd were overjoyed, never expecting such an unexpected surprise.

But many viewers appeared terrified and uneasy, realizing that the wicked demon's elaborate scheme to summon the two Nine Cauldrons was certainly not for academic research.

"He wants to release the Heavenly Maiden, the Mother of All Demons!"

"Impossible! The Heavenly Maiden Demon Mother is just a legend. Back when the demon race ravaged the human world, there were only demon kings, not heavenly maidens!"
