Perfect World: Ten Crowns

Chapter 540 The So-Called Great Sacrifice

"I want to become stronger and transform once again!"

Faced with the combined attack of the two progenitors, Xia Sheng struggled every step of the way and even faced death several times. If it weren't for the foundational world behind him and a belief that transcended the Great Dao, he would probably have died long ago.

Therefore, he wanted to be reborn, to begin another self-sacrifice.

After all, compared to these ancestors, his own accumulation was far too little. Over thousands of generations, these old fellows had sacrificed themselves countless times.

For example, this skeleton ancestor that appeared hastily, its body pale white, Xia Sheng could sense that compared to the red-haired ancestor, it was very weak. It must have just undergone a self-sacrifice not long ago, and failed, thus consuming a large amount of life essence.

That is why it is slightly weaker than the original red-haired ancestor.

Of course, he still has some things to do before he can make a breakthrough.

"I'll cut you down first, you old skeleton!"

Xia Sheng roared, shaking the universe. He held two swords and repeatedly deflected the attacks of the two progenitors. Wherever the sword light went, wisps of light flowed out, and the surrounding worlds exploded, were pierced, and disappeared into the dark universe.

puff!
Soon, under his bombardment, the Skeleton Ancestor was forced to retreat, causing his bones to crack incessantly. The remaining blood of the Ancestor splattered, creating an eerie and terrifying sight. Even the river of time itself became blurred under his light, making it extremely frightening.

"So powerful!"

The Red-Haired Ancestor was secretly startled and had to admit that the young man's attacks were terrifying. It should be noted that the Skeleton Ancestor was famous for his physique. Although his cultivation had encountered major problems, resulting in a decline in strength, he was still not to be underestimated.

However, under the young priest's cross-shaped sword strike, the Skeleton Ancestor's bones were about to fall apart. Keep in mind, this person had only been a Taoist for a million years.

"Roar!"

In the midst of chaos, in a blurry area, the Skeleton Ancestor roared, causing countless star fields within the domain to explode and countless dark races to fall, transforming into the purest blood energy and soul light, which then entered its empty skeleton.

Whether it was an illusion or not, within a few breaths, flesh and blood began to grow from its bones, and at the same time, sparse white hairs grew longer, which was extremely eerie.

Swish swish!
Then, with the appearance of ancient altars, the ancestor sat down cross-legged, and countless curses emerged, like keys. Countless white gates appeared, their radiance illuminating the past and present, connecting all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying scene unfolded: the flesh, blood, and souls of countless fallen warriors converged in a strange way, rapidly entering the body of the Skeleton Ancestor through battle gates and mysterious passages.

Seeing this bizarre scene, countless living beings felt uneasy.

Only the most ancient beings understand what this means.

Big festival!

Throughout the myriad realms, after millions of years of bloody battles, fifteen Immortal Emperors have perished, thousands of Dao Ancestor-level beings have fallen, and countless kings have died in battle. Now, through this unusual grand sacrifice, they have become nourishment for the Skeleton Ancestor's recovery.

"It's comparable to several super-large-scale festivals."

The Skeleton Ancestor's eyes were dark and unfathomable. His flesh and blood were growing rapidly, and his eerie white fur was growing rapidly, transforming into incomparably white beast fur. His whole body glowed, extremely dazzling, and turned into a blazing white color, as if it were cast from immortal metal, making him immortal and indestructible.

He evolved from a skeleton into a zombie, but it's no longer appropriate to call him a skeleton. In his previous life, countless people called him the progenitor of the white zombies.

His emergence had many reasons, such as the invitation from the Red-haired Ancestor, the appearance of several variables, and the Three-Life Bronze from the plateau. However, his most fundamental purpose was the vast amount of blood and flesh produced after the great war in this starry sky. The so-called Great Sacrifice was essentially the harvesting of the primordial matter of the heavens. In this great war, countless powerful beings had perished, including fifteen beings at the end of the road level. No ancestor could resist its allure.

Then, as time passed, countless stiff hairs resembling silkworms fell down, carrying countless life substances, flesh and blood, and soul light, enveloping the White Zombie Ancestor. It was recovering, it was transforming, and the missing power of the Great Dao was being replenished.

The progenitor of the White Zombies, once renowned for his exceptional physique, is about to return.

However, Xia Sheng couldn't care less about any of that now. After defeating the Skeleton Ancestor, he began to meditate while facing the terrifying attacks of the Red-haired Ancestor. Imperial blood splattered, and countless star fields were destroyed.

puff!
The two fought fiercely, exchanging blows until they reached an unknown starry sky. Countless drops of blood flew past Xia Sheng's eyes before drying up and transforming into boundless sacrificial power that flowed into his body.

At this moment, Xia Sheng's life force was rapidly declining, every inch of his skin was drying up, and even the origin of the Great Dao was turning into fuel for his self-sacrifice, prying open the door to his combat power.

At this moment, his state was the opposite of that of the White Zombie Ancestor. The White Zombie Ancestor was reborn from a skeleton, while he was consuming his flesh and blood, becoming an extremely ferocious skeleton.

However, both sides share the same goal: to become stronger.

"Huh? You're asking for it."

At this moment, even the red-haired progenitor sensed something was wrong. Its eyes were dark and terrifying, filled with icy killing intent.

Keng!
It activated the sacrificial artifact and smashed it violently, forcing Xia Sheng to retreat continuously. His skeleton began to crack, making it increasingly difficult for him to maintain his posture.

However, Xia Sheng persevered.

As time went by, he finally overcame the most difficult years. At a certain moment, all the power of the Great Dao within his body suddenly converged, transforming into the most terrifying fusion, enveloping his entire body, and a wave that shook the heavens erupted outwards.

There's some trick to it.

At this moment, even the Red-haired Ancestor had to take it seriously. If he had previously been dismissive, Xia Sheng's current display of strength had shattered his contempt, forcing him to abandon all his playfulness and focus intently on the situation.

"Come again!"

Xia Sheng roared, his black hair flying wildly. Because he had just completed his transformation, his flesh and blood were somewhat withered, but no one dared to underestimate this skinny tiger.

Bang bang bang!
He abandoned his twin swords and instead unleashed a devastating attack with his fists. Brilliant light shone forth, blurring the passage of time, causing the Great Dao to resonate, and even piercing through the very fabric of the universe.

"kill you!"

Red Hair roared and strode forward, charging into the fray. Amidst the dazzling collision, countless waves surged up, shattering countless gray universes, extinguishing all life, and forming a terrifying sacrificial sea.

Boom!

In an instant, a world-destroying wave spread out, and even the myriad realms far beyond countless territories couldn't help but gasp in shock, terrified by this terrifying wave.

It was terrifying. From a distance, it looked like two suns colliding, one blazing like the sun, golden and dazzling, while the other radiated an endless crimson color. Even a single glance caused countless living beings to undergo bizarre mutations and fall into the abyss.

Undoubtedly, this is an instance of an emperor clashing with a progenitor.
