Chapter 2666 : Sacrifice!
Chapter 2666: Sacrifice!
Dilapidated city walls, collapsed palaces, and withered ancient trees!
Today's barren country, like other places in the entire world, has been baptized by the flames of the Demon Cult, and there is an atmosphere of decadence everywhere!
Among the broken walls and ruins, only a rough outline of the entire stone city remains, and the buildings in it have long been beyond recognition!
Perhaps the only place that has been preserved a little better is the imperial palace in the deserted country!
But such completeness is only in relative terms!
Most of the originally magnificent and solemn palaces collapsed at this time, and only a few scattered places are still preserved!
Among them, there is the ancestral house of the Du family.
In the sky, the afterglow of the setting sun has dissipated, only the light shines on, and the whole world is hazy!
"Crack!"
There was a sound of pushing the door, and in the Du family's ancestral house, a door was gently pushed open!
Du Tingxuan, Han Aotong, Du Shaojing, Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong, Du Xiaoman, Du Yunlong, Du Xiaoyao, Xiao Xingxing, Du Xiaoba, Du Xiaohuang and others filed in and stood still in the hall!
Behind them, Dongli Qingqing, Ouyang Shuang, Su Muxin, Qi Yexi, Ye Zijin, Zixuan, Sima Muhan, Du Xiaoqing, Yi Wuming, Murong Youruo and others are all there!
"Third uncle, will there really be a miracle if you do this?"
Du Xiaoman's pretty face was filled with sadness, and she looked at Du Tingxuan with her beautiful dim eyes, and couldn't help asking.
"I don't know, but I want to try!"
Du Tingxuan didn't look at Du Xiaoman, but said softly.
Then, with a flip of his wrist, he took out something from the Qiankun bag and held it in his hand, it was Du Shaofu's only remaining head.
"Father... woo woo..."
"elder brother……"
"Shaofu..."
Seeing Du Shaofu's head being taken out, everyone behind Du Tingxuan burst into tears in an instant!
Especially Han Aotong, Du Xiaoba, Du Xiaohuang, Du Xiaolin and a few others burst into tears immediately, as if heart-piercing!
Ouyang Shuang, Dongli Qingqing and other women also looked sad, tears falling down like beads!
Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong, Du Yunlong, and Zhen Qingchun were no exception, they were all heartbroken!
"My dad will definitely come back!"
Beside Du Tingxuan, Little Xingxing's big eyes were red, with crystal light brewing, but he tried not to cry out, but said vowedly.
"Brother will definitely come back!"
When Du Xiaoqing, Du Shaojing and others heard the words, they all nodded rebirth, swallowed the choked sobs in their throats, and wiped their tears fiercely with their slender hands, but they couldn't finish it!
"I hope there will be a miracle!"
Du Tingxuan looked deeply at Du Shaofu's face, on that pale and bloodless cheek, the eyelids had been closed, the ferocious look faded away, the corners of the mouth were still slightly turned up, as if feeling the magic Teach the end of the catastrophe, and thus be happy!
After a long while, Du Tingxuan took a deep breath, stepped out slowly, and released a breath of energy from his body, which spread in the space!
In front of him, there was a sarcophagus. As Du Tingxuan moved, driven by the air machine, there was a "click" sound of the stone slab rubbing against each other, and the stone lid of the sarcophagus gradually opened!
Du Tingxuan walked to the side of the sarcophagus, held Du Shaofu's head, and gently put it into the sarcophagus.
"Woooo..."
In the main room, everyone cried even more fiercely for a while, and they all rushed up to the edge of the sarcophagus, looking at the face of the young man lying quietly in it.
"Get out of the way!"
Du Tingxuan sighed lightly and said, everyone heard the words, still looked at Du Shaofu for the last time reluctantly, but obediently retreated to the side.
Then, under their eyes, Du Tingxuan stretched out his hands, and with a "click", the stone cover was gently closed.
"Shaofu!"
"elder brother!"
"father!"
Han Aotong, Du Zhenwu, Du Xiaoqing, Du Xiaolin and the others sobbed for a while, feeling extremely heartbroken.
Although they are full of expectations,
I hope that Du Shaofu can really wake up again one day, but they also know that it all depends on a miracle!
It is very likely that they will never see the existence of that young man again!
"The body was destroyed, only a head remained, and the soul was burned. Is there really a miracle?"
Looking at the perfectly stitched sarcophagus, Du Tingxuan couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart!
In fact, not only Du Tingxuan, but also everyone behind him knows this, knowing that the possibility of Du Shaofu's resurrection is too slim!
It's just that although everyone knows it in their hearts, they are all unwilling to say it!
No matter what, you have to leave a hope for yourself, for the Du family, for the Huangguo, and for many people in this world!
"This sarcophagus is an ancient thing. It has been placed in the Du family's ancestral hall. No one knows the exact origin, but I think it should be related to the Du family's ancestors! Let's wait, maybe one day, Shaofu will come back !"
Facing the crowd, Du Tingxuan tried to squeeze out a smile, and said so.
The reason why he said so is indeed well-founded, not fabricated out of thin air.
When Du Shaofu was young, Du Tingxuan often carried him into this sarcophagus to sleep, and it was precisely because of this that Du Shaofu's rise was made step by step, and the Du family's Thunder Martial Vessel was awakened!
And this Thunder Martial Vein was engraved by the ancestors of the Du family, and it may be able to awaken on Du Shaofu's body, and it may have a great relationship with this sarcophagus!
Therefore, Du Tingxuan wanted to give it a try, hoping to obtain a miracle in this ancient sarcophagus!
"Let's go, let Shaofu be alone!"
Du Zhenwu spoke lightly, and waved lightly at the crowd.
"Over the years, he has endured too much alone. This time, let him have a good rest!"
Du Zhixiong sighed softly, and under Du Zhenwu's signal, he turned around slowly and walked out the door.
"That's right, let him rest! But when he wakes up again, I'm afraid he will have to continue to make trouble!"
Yi Wuming followed Du Zhixiong and turned around. As he spoke, a slight smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
"Just make a fuss, anyway, this world can't trap him anymore, let him go outside and do something good!"
Du Zhixiong answered, and after finishing a sentence, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But everyone present can hear how much sadness and grief are hidden in this laughter!
"Xiaoba, let's go too, and wait for my father to return!"
Little Xingxing held Du Xiaohuang and Xiao Qilin one by one, and after calling Du Xiaoba, the four of them left together.
"The remnants of the Demon Cult outside have not been wiped out yet, so I'll go and kill them first!"
Du Xiaoyao turned around domineeringly, and in the burst of golden light, his figure escaped directly into the air.
"Wait for me!"
Zhen Qingchun yelled, and then disappeared from the spot.
Afterwards, Du Shaojing, Du Yunlong, Du Xiaoman and others also flew out one after another, and swept into the distance.
Outside the house, Jialou Jueyu, Ye Piaoling, and Qianguyu also followed.
Soon, the rest of the people also walked out of the Du Family Ancestral Hall, and it became extremely quiet here.
As the sun set and the moon rose, the night shrouded the earth, and the entire stone city of the barren country seemed quiet.
After sending Du Shaofu into that sarcophagus, most of the experts left, chasing and killing the remnants of the Demon Sect.
The next day, under the arrangement of Yi Wuming, Shicheng became lively again.
Countless figures appeared, busy in various places.
Huge boulders and thick timbers were moved here one after another, and the stone city entered the stage of repair after the catastrophe.
For a cultivator, building a palace is really overkill, but when it is actually done, the speed is astounding!
However, within a few days, the entire stone city and the entire imperial palace had taken on a completely new look. Palaces stood upright and roads were paved, exactly the same as the previous structure.
"In the future, there is no need to draw formations in Shicheng. With the strength of the barren country today, no one would dare to provoke us!"
Yi Wuming looked at everything he was familiar with, and murmured.
"The dragon veins that were broken during the war still need to be connected. No matter what, the luck of the barren country cannot be compromised!"
On the side, Murong Youruo said with her slender waist and bare hands, her red lips slightly parted.
"Yeah, maybe the dragon energy of the imperial palace in the deserted country can play some unexpected effects!"
Yi Wuming tilted his head and looked at the location of the Du family's ancestral house.
"Um!"
Murong Youruo hummed lightly, and nodded lightly.
She knew that the unexpected effect that the doctor said referred to Du Shaofu who was put into the sarcophagus.
No matter whether the palace dragon energy can really work or not, they all have to give it a try, which is not a bad thing after all.
"By the way, old doctor, Ba Ying is back!"
Murong Youruo reached out to lift a strand of hair, put it behind her ear, and said softly.
During the fierce battles in the past few days, Du Shaofu was worshiped by all living beings, and attracted the most powerful imperial energy to bless him, reaching the pinnacle of the Heavenly Sacred Realm, using the new imperial seal of the barren country to fight against the demon god.
But in the end, under the blow of the demon god, Ba Ying was knocked into the air, and no one was interested in finding his whereabouts during the battle.
After the catastrophe ended, Du Tingxuan also found it immediately.
"It's good if I get it back, I'll find someone to continue the dragon vein!"
As the old doctor said, he hurriedly turned and left.
With the strength of the barren country now, it is no problem to continue the dragon veins. With a half-step heavenly saint like Zhen Qingchun, a boy from the Holy Formation, everything will be within reach!
After these few days, Du Xiaoyao, Jialou Jueyu, Ye Piaoling, Du Yunlong, Qianguyu, Zhen Qingchun and others also returned from outside one by one.
The Demon God and several Demon Emperors were all dead, and the Demon Cult was defeated like a mountain, only to be brutally slaughtered.
And with the addition of many half-step heavenly sages, it is even more like destroying the dead, making it difficult for the people of the Demon Cult to even escape for their lives.
In a few days, most of the remnants of the Devil's Cult were killed, only some unsightly clowns remained, still hiding around, lingering on their last breath.
But other forces in this world are still continuing to suppress, vowing to uproot the Demon Cult, and will not let a single one go!
After the holy formation boy Zhen Qingchun came back, he immediately displayed a tyrannical method to connect the dragon's veins.
All of a sudden, the majestic dragon aura of the imperial palace rolled over again, gathering towards the imperial palace of the deserted country.
At the same time, Ba Ying was also placed in a large hall, floating gently, exuding a domineering majesty.
It's just that many powerful people in the barren country can see that Ba Ying has already suffered a lot of trauma at this time.
Under the attack of the demon god, the power that had been condensed for many years was defeated too much.
It may take a long time to reach the previous peak period, or even surpass it.
On the seventh day after the end of the catastrophe, that is, the seventh day after Du Shaofu fell, the barren country became more lively again.
Countless strong men flocked to the stone city and came to the palace.
"Children of the Mo family, come to pay homage to Emperor Dapeng!"
Under the leadership of Hu Xuanhu, Mo Runan waited for a group of surviving members of the Mohist family to come to the door, and bowed to Du Tingxuan and others who went out to greet them.
"Confucian disciples, come to pay homage to Master Wu!"
Confucianists Meng Qianhe, Kong Sansi and others also came later.
Following the arrival of these two people, the void outside the stone city kept emitting violent fluctuations, and figures walked out of it.
"Phoenix family, come to pay homage to Emperor Dapeng!"
"The Human Race Temple in the Ancient Desolate Continent, come to pay homage to the Human Emperor!"
"Shangzhou Salmon Sword Sect, come to pay homage to Emperor Dapeng!"
"Ancient Desolate Continent Beast Alliance, come to pay homage to Emperor Dapeng!"
"Xuanfu Sect disciples, come to pay homage to Emperor Dapeng!"
"Gold-winged roc family, come to pay homage to the young patriarch!"
"Beasts from Tianhuang Continent, come to pay homage to Emperor Dapeng!"
"Holy Demon Hall of the Demon Realm, come to pay homage to Emperor Dapeng!"
...
Countless strong men came through the air, but all of them appeared from mid-air outside the stone city and walked into the city on foot to show their respect for the Great Peng Emperor!
The ancient Tianzong, Qixing Palace, Golden Spear Gate, Tianlei Castle, Baihuamen, Fengxue City, Shengyanzong, Hehuanzong and other top forces in the Three Continents and Nine Provinces have all come to the barren country.
In addition, many small forces also sent strong people to pay homage, making the entire stone city overcrowded for a while, and the huge palace could not squeeze so many people.
Those small forces, or people with weaker cultivation bases, all consciously went outside the palace, waiting quietly for something.
In the afternoon, with thunderbolts exploding high above the sky, the ceremony officially began.
A tall altar had already been erected, standing in the center of the stone city, and offerings were piled up.
There are strong people presiding over the sacrifice and chanting scriptures.
Countless people fell to their knees in unison, mourning in their hearts.
Residents in Shicheng, many old people shed tears, remembering the Dapeng Emperor.
Everyone knows that this sudden catastrophe of the Demon Sect, without the Dapeng Emperor, this world would have already fallen and become a demon domain. At this time today, there were not so many survivors who came to the deserted country to pay homage to the Great Peng Emperor.
It was that young man who shouldered the greatest burden in this world, and finally, used his life to fight the demon god to the brink of death.
Without him, the general would probably not be able to kill the Demon God!
"Congratulations to the Dapeng Emperor!"
"The Emperor Dapeng is going!"
The sound of howling and howling rang out above the stone city, spreading in all directions, and many souls mourned endlessly.
