Perfect World: Ten Crowns

Chapter 544 Above the Gray Mist
“There’s no need to panic. It’s unlikely to happen a second time in a short period of time,” said the Golden Scale Ancestor, offering this assessment.

With the fall of the Red-haired Progenitor, the entire Azure Well is collapsing and undergoing drastic changes. The azure light that once represented life is gone, replaced by a scarlet color that represents death.

It's not just about whether it's related to the eternal death of the progenitor of the red-haired tribe.

However, in any case, this magic well is unlikely to work in the short term.

"Two against four, the advantage is in my hands."

Seeing that the Red Hair Ancestor had truly passed away, Xia Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. With one less person gone, the pressure on the two of them was finally reduced, and they could switch from defense to offense.

"Let me stop them, Brother Xia, and observe the situation!"

Shi Hao spoke first, taking the lead and blocking the two progenitors, Black Blood and Iron Spear. He knew that he had only recently entered the path of sacrifice and his combat power was not yet fully stable, so he wanted to create an opportunity for Xia Sheng.

"it is good!"

Xia Sheng's eyes shone brightly. Although he had consumed a lot of his blood energy, he still retained his peak combat power. Facing the combined attack of the two progenitors, he was able to handle the situation with ease and even take the initiative to fight.

"A formidable opponent!"

The White Zombie Ancestor felt a chill in his heart. The fiercer the battle, the more astonished he became. Both were at the Sacrifice Dao Realm, but his accumulated experience over many lifetimes was simply no match for this person. As the battle raged, the gap between the two sides widened little by little.

He knew that this was because Xia Sheng was becoming more and more familiar with the strange things. He even knew that if things continued to develop like this, after two or three eras, even if one or two more progenitors were to be resurrected, they would probably be unable to suppress him completely.

At that time, the plateau will likely have to switch from offense to defense.

"You're distracted."

At that moment, Xia Sheng's cold voice exploded in his ears.

In a terrifying clash, he used the same trick again, severing the Golden Scale Ancestor in half at the waist with a single sword strike. Then, without retreating, his sword struck the White Zombie Ancestor's chest. He then even abandoned his natal magic weapon, sending it, along with the Emperor Sword, into the crimson-blue well.

He wanted to try again to see if the demonic well would still work, even if it meant sacrificing his own imperial sword to eternally sacrifice an ancestor.

This exchange was undoubtedly worthwhile.

This time, however, there were few surprises. The White Zombie Ancestor's body seemed to crash into a wall of immortal gold. His physical body shattered, and even his primordial spirit remained in disintegration. Accompanied by bursts of blazing golden light, he reshaped his physical body and manifested.

"Heh, heh heh, you've run out of tricks, haven't you!"

Behind him, the Golden Scale Ancestor smiled coldly. A golden hand stretched out, like a heavenly blade, and slashed towards Xia Sheng's chest. However, it was forced away by him, and his left shoulder exploded, shooting out countless drops of brilliant sacrificial blood, which were swallowed by this strange ancestor.

"Go away!"

Xia Sheng shouted coldly, and as he turned around, a huge tail whip shot out from his back, like a sharpened dragon sword, slicing through countless star rivers and striking the spine of the Golden Scale Ancestor.

Wow!
In an instant, countless golden scales scattered and then dimmed. Even the Golden Scale Ancestor was sent flying by this attack, but he still sneered. His shattered face was recovering, and he was licking the sacrificial blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a bloodthirsty aura.

"Young flesh and blood, how delicious!"

The White Zombie Ancestor tested the Azure Well with his own body and found it ineffective, at least for the short term. Therefore, the remaining four Ancestors had nothing to fear, and he didn't even intend to awaken the other sleeping Ancestors.

The Great Dao Origin of the two young priests was not enough for the four of them to share, so where would there be any left over?
"Boom!"

Thus, the two sides were locked in an incredibly fierce battle, the very flow of time seemed to freeze, making it impossible to calculate time itself; only the slaughter could last forever.

Faced with the attacks of the two progenitors, Xia Sheng blasted their heads open several times, causing them to perish. However, they would always revive in the plateau soon afterward and start attacking again.

Meanwhile, just as Shi Hao was about to collapse, he also made his move, severely injuring the Black Blood Ancestor several times. He also shattered the iron halberd in the hand of another Ancestor, leaving his tattered armor riddled with holes, and finally shattering it into pieces, revealing his eerie body covered in silver embroidery. However, that was all.

He tried to kill all four of the progenitors, but no matter who they were, the result was the same: they were either truly immortal or lacked a real killing move, so they remained immortal.

To verify his ideas, Xia Sheng continued to deduce and develop even more terrifying trump cards. Each time he unleashed one, the intensity would increase by a level, and the rebirth time of the progenitor would be delayed significantly, but he still could not completely kill him.

"The intensity isn't enough. Perhaps if we have enough time, we can really kill them." Shi Hao said, meeting Xia Sheng's gaze, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes.

In theory, as the two faced the four progenitors and grew stronger, they would eventually be able to eliminate the source of the strangeness. However, this was not the case in reality.

It's very simple; their fundamental substance is insufficient.

The so-called sacrificial ceremony transcends the realm of the Immortal Emperor, surpassing all rules and causality, but ultimately it is not completely transcendent and is still subject to the limitations of the material world.

True immortality can probably only be achieved through sacrificial rituals.

"Is that the only city we can use?"

Xia Sheng looked back, traversing endless territories, towards the eternal city that stood at the forefront of all worlds. If the main battlefield were moved there, countless lives would perish.

"That's all."

Shi Hao sighed, a hint of reluctance also appearing in his eyes.

In fact, they had another option: to perish together, like the Pollen Emperor did back then, sacrificing eternal annihilation to take the remaining progenitors with them.

However, this has several flaws.

First, they were unsure whether they could truly sacrifice a few people forever. If the spirits were to revive over time, then the deaths of the two would be meaningless.

Secondly, if one or two are missed, or if there are still primordial beings lying dormant on the plateau, even if there is only one, all the heavens and myriad realms will perish.

"Let's go!"

Finally, the two made up their minds to shift the main battlefield to the heavens.

However, one of the difficulties they faced was how to attract the four ancestral masters to the past.

After all, given the fate of the progenitor of the red hairy tribe, they couldn't possibly obey obediently.

"We have no choice but to fight a bloody battle."

Xia Sheng's eyes were cold, and he sighed slightly. He didn't know what price he would have to pay.

However, while the two major sacrificial priests were considering their methods, someone had already come up with one for them.

At some unknown time, a hazy gray mist suddenly descended from the sky above the myriad realms, from the unreached areas, vast and boundless, enveloping the entire world as soon as it appeared.

Immediately afterwards, throughout the entire heavens, in the vast realm of life, the flesh, blood, and souls of countless fallen warriors vanished, transforming into pure life matter that disappeared into the mysterious gray mist.

Swish swish!
Then, ancient and eerie gray sacrificial tablets appeared, taking root in the corpses of powerful beings, appearing in the brutal, blood-red battlefields, and absorbing the essence of flesh and blood.

Another eerie progenitor has been resurrected.
