Wonderful Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1837 The Sacrifice Begins?

Lei Jiang remained standing, offering no explanation or defense, simply watching everything unfold quietly.

Both Ancestor Lei Ze and Xiang Dehong remained silent, standing in the crowd with expressionless faces.

No one noticed that their hands, hanging down, were slightly clenched.

The Earth Demon King stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the terrified gods, then looking at the dimmed Golden Crow Sun Array base, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Do you think I came here to slaughter you ants?"

He shook his head, his tone carrying a condescending pity, "No, you are of greater use."

He flipped his hand and took out an object.

It was a spirit pearl the size of a fist, its entire body shimmering with an eerie dark silver light, within which countless fine runes could be faintly seen flickering.

As soon as it appeared, the surrounding space trembled slightly, as if it resonated with some distant existence.

"This item is called the Mother-Child Twin Star Connection." The Earth Demon played with the spirit pearl, his tone tinged with admiration:

"Legend has it that this item was once the spiritual treasure of Tian Quezi, the number one expert in the Spirit Realm. The mother and child resonate with each other, ignoring spatial barriers. The mother treasure is currently on the seventh floor, and this one is the child treasure."

His gaze swept over the gods, and he smiled slightly:

"I guess that Ye Zhenjun is currently using the Mother Treasure as a guide to set up a sacrificial array."

When the time is right, your entire being—flesh and blood, soul, and cultivation—will be forcibly extracted through this treasure and transported to the seventh level, becoming sacrifices to activate the teleportation array to the spirit realm.

Upon hearing this, all the gods turned pale!

Sacrifice! Flesh and blood! Soul!

They finally understood!

Ye Zhenjun's initial inducement for them to reside at the Moon Extreme God Platform was all for the purpose of making sacrifices!

They were merely sacrifices! Fuel to activate the teleportation array.

"No...it's impossible..."

"Does Emperor Shenzu know about this? What about Emperor Chongzu and Emperor Tingzu?"

"Ancestor Lei Ze, say something!"

"That old dog Ye Zhenjun! He deserves to die!"

"Lei Jiang! It's all your fault! You opened the great formation and let the wolf into the house! You killed the entire clan!"

The sounds rose and fell in waves.

It was filled with despair and doubt.

Not only them, but also Ancestor Lei Ze was deeply shocked at this moment.

Did Chen Wanli know about this?

Could it be that everything Chen Wanli did was to cooperate with Ye Zhenjun to activate the spirit world teleportation array?

No, if Chen Wanli had cooperated with Ye Zhenjun, there would have been no need to create the formation, and the Earth Demon King would not have even arrived.

Because at that time, the gods' trust in Chen Wanli had reached its peak.

Chen Wanli had countless ways to preserve this precious artifact.

There was absolutely no need for the Earth Demon King to arrive at this time and use force!

So, is this Ye Zhenjun's backup plan?

There are two possibilities now: Chen Wanli has already died as a stepping stone! Ye Zhenjun used Chen Wanli, the Dragon King, Chongzu, and Tingzu! That's how he successfully entered the seventh level.

Are the Earth Demons left outside to cooperate with his actions?

Next, the gods will be sacrificed?

Another possibility is that Chen Wanli and his group did not die, but... if they did not die, Ye Zhenjun went to the seventh floor, but what about Chen Wanli?

Was he being controlled? Or did he truly succumb to the temptation of going to the spirit world and agree to be sacrificed to the gods?

The allure of the spirit world! Even with all the confidence that Ancestor Lei Ze had in Chen Wanli, a hint of doubt inevitably arose at this moment.

In an instant, various speculations swirled in the mind of Ancestor Lei Ze.

He looked at Lei Jiang.

Lei Jiang simply shook his head slightly.

He didn't know, but he had a vague feeling that this was a contest of conspiracy.

Chen Wanli must have known from the beginning that Ye Zhenjun had ulterior motives.

He just couldn't guess how Chen Wanli would handle it!

Ye Zhenjun, Dragon King, Heavenly Demon King, Earthly Demon King!

These giants scheme against and exploit each other.

And the only players in this game are perhaps Chen Wanli and Ye Zhenjun.

The rest are just chess pieces.

And they are pawns among pawns; even if they are to be sacrificed, it is not up to them.

Even so, countless angry, desperate, and resentful gazes were still directed at Lei Jiang.

Lei Jiang kept his head down, his expression unreadable.

Xiang Dehong remained silent as well.

The Earth Demon watched this scene with great interest and said indifferently, "Blame this junior for opening the formation? There's no need. It would only make you look foolish."

Even if he doesn't open the great formation, I, the King, will be able to break it sooner or later with the Demon Abyss Sky-Splitting Horn.

The only difference is whether more or fewer people died.

He paused, his tone becoming even more playful: "Speaking of which, after so many years of fighting and bickering with your divine race, I've developed a kind of affection for you."

"Today, your clans will be exterminated. However, out of consideration for past favors, I hereby grant you the special privilege of allowing ten members of each clan to continue your lineage."

Ten from each clan!

Genocide!

These words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely shattering the defenses of all the gods.

Some collapsed to the ground, some wept uncontrollably, some cursed angrily, and some screamed in despair.

"Why! Why should we be sacrificed!"

"Let's fight them! We'll take them down with us even if we die!"

"Humans! Chen Wanli! He will definitely come back to save us!"

Upon hearing this, the Earth Demon King's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Chen Wanli? It's uncertain whether he can even come out alive right now."

Even if he comes out, what use will he be to me?

He scanned the crowd, his tone growing increasingly contemptuous: "The fact that the safety of the gods rests on the shoulders of the human race is laughable."

The crowd's agitation was completely quelled by those words.

Yes, when did their divine race fall to the point where they need a human to save them?

But at this very moment, the only thing they were hoping for was that young human.

The one who came from Earth, overcame all obstacles, subdued the gods, fought against demons, and created countless miracles.

"How do you know that it wasn't Chen Wanli who dealt with Ye Zhenjun? Or even the Heavenly Demon King? If that's the case, wouldn't your plan be a joke?"

"Chen Wanli has never been defeated since entering the Demon Cave!" Old Ancestor Lei Ze said in a deep voice.

The Earth Demon King sneered: "Old man, you want to gather information? You don't need to go through all that trouble. I can just tell you directly."

You just want to know how I knew that True Monarch Ye had reached the seventh level, right?

Before Elder Lei Ze could answer, he continued, "See the Twin Stars Connected? This is an innate spiritual treasure. True Monarch Ye said that only when he reaches the seventh level will the mother treasure be activated and the child treasure respond!"

All eyes were immediately drawn to the spirit orb in the Demon King's hand.

The feeling of the space constantly trembling was as if it were confirming his words.

Ye Zhenjun's successful arrival at the seventh level could mean either that Chen Wanli was cooperating with him, which would be part of the conspiracy to sacrifice the gods, or that he had already been used as a stepping stone by Ye Zhenjun.

Their hopes are dashed!

"So, the Heavenly Demon King..."

As soon as Ancestor Lei Ze mentioned the Heavenly Demon King, the Earth Demon laughed: "You guessed right, the Heavenly Demon went in, but she seems to be in good condition! She's probably on the seventh floor too!"

The Earth Demon smiled faintly. Coming from the same source, he would naturally know if the Heavenly Demon King died.

Seeing the expressions of Ancestor Lei Ze and the gods completely dim, the Earth Demon King shook his head slightly, his expression tinged with a hint of regret:

"Speaking of which, I should thank Chen Wanli. If it weren't for him, things might not have gone so smoothly! Ye Zhenjun's plans over so many years..."

"Lei Jiang! It's all your fault! You've ruined the God Clan!"

From the crowd, a young descendant of the Lei Ze clan rushed out, pointed at Lei Jiang's nose, and began to hurl insults:

"If you hadn't opened the great formation, how could the Earth Demon have entered?"

If you hadn't been so superstitious about that human race back then, even forgetting your father's revenge, and completely leading the gods into the trap of the human race?

You are a sinner of the gods! A sinner for all eternity!

Lei Jiang finally raised his head and glanced at the young descendant.

His gaze was calm to the point of indifference, devoid of any guilt or explanation, simply watching indifferently.

The young descendant felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at him, and his cursing involuntarily stopped.

Just then.

"Buzz!"

The twin stars, Tongzibao, which were suspended in mid-air, suddenly began to tremble violently!

The dark silver light surged, the runes on the surface of the spirit orb flickered wildly, and a strange suction force suddenly erupted from the spirit orb!

"what!"

Screams of agony rose and fell!

All the divine cultivators felt their flesh, soul, and cultivation tremble uncontrollably at this moment, as if they were being forcibly pulled away by some invisible force!

Their vital energy transformed into thin streams of blood, uncontrollably surging towards the spiritual pearl!

The sacrifice has begun!

A hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Earth Demon King: "True Lord Ye, truly a remarkable method!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the hellish scene, his eyes filled with indifference.
