Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Chapter 373 A Grim Situation

?

"That attack just now is from senior Hu Tao, the peak master of the Martial peak. No wonder those devils couldn't escape", an elder who was watching from the city wall, commented.

"Senior Tao is famous for his martial techniques. I can't believe, he has also come along to vanquish the devils", another elder spoke. There was a look of respect and surprise on his face as he spoke about the emperor realm expert.

"Everyone, pay attention. Devils are not that easy to deal with", Ying Chao spoke. There was stern expression on his face as he looked towards the devil generals. The elders who were talking, couldn't understand why Ying Chao was being so stern. They followed the gaze of Ying Chao and their expression changed as well after they took a look at the devil generals.

The ordinary looking devil general who thought to be dead by the earlier attack was standing amidst the twelve devil generals. There was no sign of injury on his body as he stood calmly amidst the devil experts.

Many elder's couldn't understand, what was going on but Zhan Chen who was standing in the battlefield, saw what just happened. After the collision of the palm, two shadowy beings escaped from the area of the collision. Both shadows converged together and the devil general reappeared again, unscathed. Zhan Chen would have felt surprise by such an impressive ability if he had not noticed a minor change on the devil general's face.

The devil general had three glowing perals on his forehead earlier but after receiving the attack, one pearl dimmed and only two pearls kept glowing on his forehead.

'What a peculiar ability!', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He was curious to see, how the devils would respond to such a situation.

"Mu Qiang, are you alright?", lord Tianzun looked towards his fellow general who had just received a blow from a Law glimpse realm expert.

"Tianzun, mind your own business. An attack or two will never kill me. You know that very well", Mu Qiang spoke with an angry expression on his face.

"Fine, fine. I am just checking whether you are ready for the sacrifice or not", lord Tianzun shrugged his shoulders.

"Sacrifice! Are you crazy, Tianzun?", Mu Qiang asked with a startled voice. There was an uneasy expression on his face as he looked towards all of his companions. 

"Is everyone ready?", lord Tianzun asked with a commanding voice. Every devil generals nodded their heads indifferently but Mu Qiang behaved like as if he was going through shock of his lifetime.

"You guys can't be serious, right?", he looked towards every general with a faltering voice.

"Mu Qiang, cut the crap. Replenish your vitality quickly or else you will suffer irreversible damage", a female general spoke. She was quite cold to begin with as her words poured some cold water on Mu Qiang 's head.

"Tianzun, you mad ghost. Wait a minute. Let me replenish my vitality first", Mu Qiang spoke.

"Be quick. There is no time. I am summoning the ancestoral altar right now", lord Tianzun spoke. Mu Qiang 's figure faded into air as soon as he heard lord Tianzun 's words.

All of these conversation seemed like it took a lot of time but it hardly took two or three minutes. Before the Xuantian sect experts could do anything, lord Tianzun had summoned the projection of a grand altar.

Lord Tianzun channeled devil energy and cut open his wrist as soon as My Qiang left. Bluish blood started to come out from his vein but the blood surprisingly flew into air instead of falling on the ground.

"Soul as the guide, blood as the sacrifice, I, Qiu Tianzun, am summoning the ancestoral altar of our Abhorst empire. May the ancient devils give me strength", lord Tianzun spoke. He was speaking in the ancient devil language. So, none of the human experts could understand what was going on. As for Zhan Chen, he would have understood but he was far away from the devil generals and he wouldn't risk spreading his soul consciousness so far in such a dangerous battlefield.

Blood continuously poured out from lord Tianzun and they formed some bizzare looking symbols in the air. A sudden heaviness came into the surrounding as devil energy bellowed.

A three stories altar came into being as lord Tianzun poured his blood like mad. His face was already pale but he still kept pouring his blood untill the altar materialized completely.

No one was keeping his eyes on Mu Qiang because everyone was perplexed by the action of lord Tianzun. Few martial ascension realm devils got killed silently as Mu Qiang appeared behind them like shadow.

"No need to curse me in your after life. It is your fortune that you are sacrificing your lives for our Abhorst empire", Mu Qiang murmured to himself. 

"Everyone, pour your blood and soul energy into the altar. I need each of your contribution to summon the devil god", lord Tianzun spoke.

The Xuantian sect experts were caught off-guard by the actions of lord Tianzun. They couldn't understand what was going on but it was clear that the altar was not a good thing at all. It continued to bellow devilish energy and it had an aura that was malicious and evil to extreme.

Two experts appeared silently in the mid sky. The Xuantian sect experts immediately identified them as the the peak master of the martial peak and the the peak master of the Earth peak.

Both experts didn't waste their time anymore. Both of them spread their hands and launched two attacks simultaneously to attack the devil cultivators.

"Heaven's wrath; mountain breaking palm"

"Fury of the Earth dragon"

A gigantic palm and a lifelike yellowish dragon flew towards the devil cultivators at a breathtaking speed. In response, devils had no worry on their faces. Few of them had a scorn on their faces as they saw the two Law glimpse realm experts lauching attacks towards them.

The gigantic altar seemed to recognise the danger that the two attacked possessed. It suddenly summened a huge amount of devil energy from the surrounding area and made a pitch black essence wall to protect itself.

The two attacks collided on the pitch black wall but the wall was like a bottomless ocean. It only rippled a little as the two attacks collided.

"Humans, struggle as you like but your fate is only to be ruled by our Abhorst empire. We the twelve generals under marquis Thornfield, hereby giving sacrifices of our subordinates and sacrificing our own blood to call upon the devil god. May the exalted god show himself", lord Tianzun spoke loudly. He had a reverent expression on his face as he looked towards the empty sky.
