Chapter 213: Grand Apotheosis Ritual for Me, the Dao of Sacrifice Shall Not Fall!

Boom!

Deep within the Sacrificial Sea, the black altar emitted a terrifying disturbance.

Shaohua suddenly turned around, as endless rays of light rained down, gracefully and beautifully, like a dream. Despite their mesmerizing allure, they harbored a world-shattering threat.

Each ray of light seemed to split the heavens and earth, each beam of radiance reflected a vast universe, and each one highlighted her breathtaking and stunning figure.

Then, she took a step, her bare foot untouched by dust, as white as jade, exquisitely perfect, and exuding a transcendent aura.

As her crystal-clear jade foot touched the ground and lightly crushed it, the entire sacrificial site began to crack, rumbling and shaking, with countless fissures appearing, threatening to collapse and crumble!

"The altar's origins are extraordinary; only members of our race can manipulate it. You are courting your own death!" the strange Immortal Emperor trapped within the Chronofurnace whispered, his eyes glowing with an eerie light.

He was astonished. Today, all ten Immortal Emperors had been defeated, an unprecedented event that would shock the myriad realms and stir up boundless waves of chaos throughout history.

This woman was clearly a major anomaly. The power she wielded was specifically targeted against his race, which was the only explanation for how she could single-handedly overthrow ten emperors.

At this level, despite varying strengths, it was impossible for one to defeat ten, even if the latter were slightly weaker. It made no sense.

Moreover, she had endured countless battles over tens of thousands of years. Could she really grow stronger with each fight, unaffected by the toll?

That was also impossible and made no sense.

There was no doubt that this woman was the variable that had once awakened the Progenitor, the greatest variable in all of eternity!

She had crazily absorbed Primordial Substances while maintaining a sliver of clarity, which was already inconceivable.

Furthermore, every attack that struck her was mysteriously weakened by thirty percent, while her own power seemed to have a strange counter to theirs.

Most importantly, the Immortal Emperors she had slain could not be resurrected on the Plateau, as if the Final Abyss Realm had abandoned their race, no longer recognizing or protecting them.

This was an unacceptable situation. Could it be that their fate had already been lost?

When Immortal Emperors were killed, they were truly dead!

Without the Plateau's ancestral land providing the resurrection protection, they could no longer start anew repeatedly, their invincible golden bodies shattered, falling from their lofty heights, a terrifying prospect.

At the same time, he secretly hoped that the supreme Progenitor would crush this woman.

The Plateau was unoccupied, and the sacrificial site's turmoil would inevitably draw the Progenitor's attention. When the Progenitor's gaze fell upon this place, no matter how bizarre this woman was, she would be powerless against such a supreme being!

The Progenitor was the ultimate ruler, invincible since ancient times, and there were ten of them, capable of overwhelming any enemy.

A mere variable, once identified, would be nothing.

Shaohua did not stop there. She suddenly focused on the deepest part of the sacrificial site.

There, spirit tablets were enshrined, alongside the ruins of a dark and collapsed palace, enveloped in boundless gloom.

"Strange, ominous, the Dao of Sacrifice is too cunning", she thought, her mind becoming a bit clearer, though the Dao Fruit was increasingly eroded by ominous forces, making it hard to reverse.

"Her heart is clouded. Choosing this place as the battlefield, the place of sacrifice, are you trying to use my body to return?" Shaohua's eyes gleamed, as if she had realized something.

"No, that shouldn't be it. If such an existence has already passed, using my body would be pointless. If it truly wanted to return, why borrow my body?"

In an instant, she thought of many things, seeming to understand why she was here.

Sacrifice!

Not to others, but to herself.

She ascended the altar and gathered all the blood and soul light of the strange Immortal Emperors scattered on the sacrificial site, stuffing them all into the Chronofurnace.

Without invoking the Voidblaze and Eonflare, without gathering the yin and yang wood, and with the Four Poles Wastes already depleted, the residual spirits of the strange Immortal Emperors cried out even more mournfully, their minds on the verge of collapse.

What did they see? They saw themselves being placed on the altar?!

They had always been the ones who sacrificed others, never imagining they would be the sacrifices themselves.

Truly, the tide of fortune had turned, and the heavens spared no one.

The black altar shook violently, covered in blood that had not yet dried, with cracks spreading, giving it an especially eerie appearance.

Sacrificing seven Immortal Emperor-level beings at once was something it had never experienced before, and it trembled in excitement.

Then, the altar exploded.

A vast amount of Primordial Substances poured out, all landing on Shaohua. In an instant, she felt her cultivation reach an extreme, pushing her towards another level.

Strictly speaking, the Dao of Sacrifice had never transcended the Immortal Emperor realm.

"Am I about to become the Dao of Sacrifice?" Shaohua laughed, her red lips curving into a seductive smile, but there was a sense of desolation and sorrow in her demeanor.

This was a wrong evolutionary path!

It shouldn't be this way, but due to a series of coincidences, she couldn't turn back, nor did she have the means to do so.

"Ha, ha, ha!!" She raised her head and let out a long, resounding laugh, her already reddened eyes becoming even more crimson, her short hair, which had turned gray, cascading over her shoulders, her aura completely transformed.

Clang!

She moved without restraint, her fingers forming a sword as she thrust forward, aiming for the spirit tablets in the deepest part of the sacrificial site, intent on destroying them.

This single thrust pierced through time and space, sacred light exploding like thunder, tearing through the River of Time, turning everything into chaos, and piercing through the sacrificial site.

Bang!!

She followed with a palm strike, thousands of threads and countless dao principles transforming into beams of light, depicting the birth and death of the universe, and bringing down infinite rules, all converging on the standing spirit tablets.

In the blur, ancient coffins seemed to emerge in front of the spirit tablets, more than one, appearing and disappearing, manifesting a certain power.

Boom!!

Shaohua continued to punch, the myriad dao principles surging like cosmic tides, like waves of time crashing against the shore, stirring up the winds of eternity, resonating with the Sacrificial Sea.

Crack!!

In the deepest part of the sacrificial site, the spirit tablets emitted a cracking sound, two blurry ancient coffins trembled, and the spirit tablets fell, causing a dramatic change.

The entire timeline collapsed, as if ancient history itself was about to be erased, a shocking and unimaginable transformation.

At this moment, in the outside world, across the myriad realms, all the strong warriors of the various races felt a shadow descending, their memories clouded, as if they were about to forget many things.

The conflict in the sacrificial site involved such a high level that the emanated aura crushed the ancient heavens, causing waves of shock throughout the world.

A storm erupted within the sacrificial site but did not spread outward. The tremendous power was concentrated to the extreme, with no leakage.

Shaohua's steps did not stop. With each step, an era passed, she walked through the speckled ashes, entering the deepest part of the sacrificial site.

She continued to attack, each explosion causing chaos to collapse, the universe to be reborn, and the world to be destroyed, with the thirty thousand worlds being created and annihilated.

This had an extremely terrifying impact. All the dark palaces were destroyed, some spirit tablets cracked, and the blurry ancient coffins seemed to be touched.

Accompanied by whispers, murmurs, and sobs, several ancient coffins appeared, as if they were about to return from an unknown place, using the sacrificial site as a bridge.

Shaohua lifted her gaze, sensing a profound pressure, a great crisis and great terror about to descend.

As expected, the Sinister Ancestors were about to awaken.

"The premonition is true; the greatest variable in all of eternity has appeared!"

" Hmm? What about our Immortal Emperors? They are all dead, a sad and pitiful fate. Fortunately, the variable has been identified, and their sacrifice was worth it."

"Heh, heh, heh, don't worry about that suspected survivor, the Wasteland. He is merely a false son. Now, this one is more important. Kill him and eliminate the future threat!"

When the variable was first detected, the ten Progenitors had all come out, working together to deduce all things, but they failed to identify the true variable and found another one instead.

The Wasteland had rapidly increased his cultivation in battle, nearly reaching their level, a shocking development.

Since they couldn't find the greatest variable, they targeted the Wasteland, dealing a heavy blow to vent their anger.

Five Progenitors joined forces to eliminate this threat, but it came at a significant cost, with some of them falling into a deep sleep within the Plateau's ancestral land.

In recent years, some Progenitors had sensed something unusual, suspecting that the Wasteland might not have been so easily silenced, and they left the Plateau to search, eventually finding some traces.

Just as they were about to strike the Wasteland again, the sacrificial site revealed the existence they had been most concerned about.

"All ten Immortal Emperors have been wiped out, showing how lax we have become. Leaving the Wasteland to hone our descendants was a mistake", a Progenitor said.

Then, the Time Sea seemed to boil, the stars shifted, and the world transformed, an instant becoming eternal!

With a thunderous roar, the myriad worlds resonated, the great universe, and boundless time and space all mourned, trembling, as if the ancient heavens and earth were about to collapse.

Under Shaohua's intensely focused gaze, the blurry ancient coffins became more solid, their outlines becoming increasingly clear.

Some of the coffins were vibrant, sprouting branches and leaves, each leaf capable of carrying a true and complete universe.

Others were forged from dozens or hundreds of mother metals, surpassing the limits to become incomprehensible artifacts, burning the dao principles into nothingness.

One by one, the ancient coffins appeared, transforming the sacrificial site completely, emanating an overwhelmingly ominous aura.

"Variable, you must be destroyed!"

The Sinister Ancestors had not yet arrived, nor had they spoken, but their will had already crossed the ancient and boundless time and space to descend here.

"No more holding back. After being gentle and kind for so long, this time I will go completely mad. Let's see who kills whom. Even ants can devour dragons!"

Shaohua coldly snorted. At this point, she had no way back.

This was a Grand Apotheosis Ritual, using the ten strange Immortal Emperors as sacrifices to forge her path to immortality!

In the Chronofurnace, all the Primordial Substances, the ashes of someone, were absorbed by Shaohua, merging into her body and soul.

Infinite light rain fell, no longer as brilliant, appearing somewhat dim, with scriptures drifting down, burning into the final flames, illuminating only a corner of the mist and darkness.

"Heh, Shaohua, Shaohua is fleeting."

Shaohua was fleeting, always chasing time.

With a faint sigh, filled with sadness and loneliness, her voice echoed through the ages, in the past, present, and future, like a whisper.

Looking back, she had once illuminated the world, but now she was so sorrowful.

"Path of withered bones, who walks it? One step, no turning back!"

She let out a long, resounding cry, her head held high, her expression confident and radiant, her body emitting the most brilliant light, her flawless green dress and flowing hair making her stand out in this darkest and most ominous place, still transcendent and stunning.

Even if she had accidentally taken the wrong path, stepping onto a road with no return, she remained breathtaking, her presence illuminating the past, present, and future!

Suddenly, with a thunderous boom, the world resonated, shaking, and the boundless dao principles burned, their brilliant light illuminating the ages.

Using the Primordial Substances refined from the essence of the ten strange Immortal Emperors, Shaohua successfully broke through, transcending in a way she had never imagined.

She offered her Dao Fruit, now tainted by ominous forces, and within the ultimate sacrificial site of the strange race, endless flames burned, purifying and dissipating the Dao Fruit.

Transcending the limits, rising above the world, breaking free from the so-called eternity, all causes and effects were extinguished. She should have faced a terrifying death, but Shaohua felt that she would not perish.

I am unique, the supreme being in this world!

But even so, she had once been completely silenced, all traces of her existence erased.

By using the strange Primordial Substances and the Dao of Sacrifice, she had taken a completely different evolutionary path, a change so drastic.

The broken sacrificial site remained silent, all fluctuations disappeared.

Until a breeze stirred the dust, her figure slowly emerged.

"Is this the Dao of Sacrifice?" A cold voice echoed, with a slightly hoarse magnetism.

A tall, graceful figure slowly appeared, bearing a striking resemblance to the former Shaohua, with almost identical features.

However, her face and skin were very pale, her eyes a deep crimson, her gray-white hair cascading over her chest and back, her green dress replaced by a dark robe, stained red and black with imperial blood.

She was beautiful, and also eerie, exuding a strange demonic aura.

She stretched, feeling the omnipotent power, the dao principles, and all the rules of the universe losing their meaning to her.

What remained was boundless strange power and the condensed patterns of her former evolutionary path.

"Eternal Divine Illumination", she whispered, her heart trembling(End of Chapter)
