Chapter 608: Sacrificial Rites

The Immortal of Creation was no longer going easy on Hui Yue as he spread his wings and flew into the air. As he was floating in the air, he spread his arms, and a gentle wind started to blow.

This wind picked up quite fast and turned into a terrible gale which pressured Hui Yue greatly.

Although this was a dangerous wind, Hui Yue also controlled the dao of gale, and he instantly activated it taking control of the wind that was near him. Although he had not merged the dao of gale with any other daos of the wind, he had the benefit of his bloodline. His control over the wind was many times more profound than this Immortal of Creation’s control.

Hui Yue took control of the wind and lifted his arm, urging the powerful wind around him to rush towards the Immortal of Creation instead. As it did, he shot forward like an arrow and slashed the chest of his opponent who did not have any time to dodge.

Normally it would not be hard for an Immortal of Creation to dodge an attack from a normal Primordial immortal. However, this was a much different situation than normal.

Hui Yue was using his bloodline power to pressure the Immortal of Creation. This caused him to be unable to fully control his power and even more so be unable to control his body perfectly.

Apart from this pressure, there was also the physical pressure from the dao of gravity which kept changing all the time, and although it did not pose any real threat to the Immortal of Creation, the constant changes in gravity around him were enough to further impede the control he had over his own body.

Apart from this, Hui Yue had also summoned his blue cloud which absorbed as much of the Ancestral Worldpower that the Immortal of Creation was releasing as it could, weakening his attacks.

All in all, Hui Yue had subdued the Immortal of Creation, and when he saw that the dao of gale that he had called forth had been taken over by Hui Yue, he felt listless. He felt that it was unfair that this child was a third generation descendant. Had it not been for the sake of their difference in bloodlines, then the Immortal of Creation was sure that he would win.

The blazing tiger was still alive, and it was constantly pouncing at the Immortal of Creation, using its flaming claws to bash the young man, while Hui Yue took the opportunity to attack from the other side.

"I cannot lose to a weak Primordial Immortal!" The expert yelled with determination, and suddenly his entire body started to swell. His muscles started to swell, and he seemed as if he were in great pain. Veins started appearing all over his body, and he started growing taller. Seeing his opponent transform in such a manner and feeling the terrifying aura he was releasing a sense of danger appeared within Hui Yue's heart.

'Run away!' Lan Feng said instantly, and Hui Yue did not wait before he dashed backward to put some distance between the two of them.

"What is he doing!?" Someone from the audience suddenly said through the resounding silence which had been there before. "He is using the Sacrificial Rites! Is he crazy?! We need to stop him!" Another said, and suddenly all the silent experts swept forwards towards the man who was still growing in size.

"Get away from me!" The man called as his massive hand swept across the arena and pushed everyone aside or made them fall to the ground. "I will deal with this child! I will prove to him that I am not some mere rock on the road on his rise to fame!! I will make him understand the true power of an Immortal of Creation from the Celestial Sword Sect!"

"You are breaking sect rules!" Someone pointed out with an urgent voice, "We can still resolve this peacefully if you don't harm anyone, but if you really use this forbidden technique to defeat Pei Yue then you will end up being banished at the very least!"

Regaining some modicum of clarity from their loud voices, the severity of the situation dawned upon the Immortal of Creation and panic appeared in his eyes as he looked around the arena. He had already knocked away a great many experts who had tried to stop him, and these experts were all slightly wounded from his attack.

"Ah... Aaaaah!" he yelled out as his large hands suddenly cradled his head and he fell to his knees.

"I have sinned!" he yelled out, tears streaming from his eyes. "I have already completed the Sacrificial Rites of our Ancestors, and I have no other choice but to pay the price with blood!" He said with an empowered voice.

"Since that is the case… Hahahaha! I will fight my way out of the sect! I will stand at the apex! I will be a genius above all others!!! I can feel the power of our ancestor the Great Roc flowing through my veins! I can be like the Great Roc. I can be the bes..."

The Immortal of Creation didn’t get a chance to finish his sentence as a metallic scent assaulted everyone. They all looked dumbfounded at the expert, or more precisely, what was left of him.

Standing in the air just above him was Pei Ziqi. Her face was frosty, and her eyes were blazing with fire.

"The Sacrificial Rites of the Great Roc are not allowed to be used within the sect unless we are being attacked!" Her voice boomed throughout the entire sect, making even the mountains tremble from her might.

"The punishment given for having used the Sacrificial Rites and attempting to murder a fellow member of the Celestial Sword Sect is death!"

Pei Ziqi waved her hand, and the corpse of the Immortal of Creation flew up next to her. "I will deliver him to his family, but everyone know, these missions to challenge your seniors are all for the sake of improving the performance of our sect members. They are not life and death battles! If you lose you lose, but don't go so far as to kill your opponent. It is countless times more shameful to use the Sacrificial Rites against a fellow sect member than it is to lose a mere battle!"

Her voice was firm, and as the last word had been spoken, Pei Ziqi vanished into the distance.

Silence once more enveloped the arena. Hui Yue flapped his wings as he frowned. He had never before heard about this technique the Sacrificial Rites of the Great Roc, nor did he feel that he had any way of summoning the Great Roc as he was now. He could only guess that this was a kind of Ancestral Worldpower Skill? It was clearly incredibly powerful. The power the Immortal of Creation had shown was so terrifying that Hui Yue knew that no ordinary Immortal of Creation would be able to display such might.

It was clearly an ability which raised one's strength, but such an enormous increase in strength obviously could not be for free. As most people knew the stronger the technique, the more powerful the backlash. Therefore, Hui Yue was curious what he had to sacrifice for such an increase in power… Was it blood? The Immortal of Creation before had spoken about blood, so maybe it required blood as an offering for the power he got. Either way, it was an incredibly powerful ability, and even though Hui Yue knew he could not control it just yet, he could not help but feel rather curious about it.

Hui Yue checked his emblem and noticed that it marked him as having won the challenge, to which he felt some relief. However, the other experts of the sect did not exactly share his feelings.

Most blamed Hui Yue for the fact that this Immortal of Creation had been killed. Had Hui Yue not challenged him, then he would not have been put in such a position to use everything he had to win.

But a small group of the most acknowledged experts in the sect saw things differently. When they looked at Hui Yue, they saw a Primordial Immortal that was able to suppress an Immortal of Creation. This was something completely unheard off unless they had merged five daos together and were fighting a new Immortal of Creation who had only comprehended one dao, but this was obviously not the case here.

This was an Immortal of Creation which had already merged three daos, and he was up against a Primordial Immortal that was incapable of merging the daos he controlled; therefore, he should have effortlessly beaten down this Primordial Immortal.

This young man had so many tricks up his sleeve, and no one knew if he had held anything back in this fight. The group of esteemed experts had a sneaking suspicion that he actually had, and if this were the case, then this new sect member was incredibly powerful. It could be that sometime soon he would actually be able to threaten them.

Although the situation had been bad, and although the Immortal of Creation had summoned forth incredible strength, Hui Yue's face had shown concern but not hopelessness as he had retreated.

It was clear that if the battle had continued, then Hui Yue would have been at a severe disadvantage.

Truthfully, Hui Yue had been very worried. The moment he had felt the power of the technique the Immortal of Creation had used, he instantly reached out for the black cloaked figure within his core.

Of all his techniques and skills, this past life of his was an ultimate expert. This was Hui Yue’s past life who had comprehended the most daos and was able to ensure that no matter what happened, Hui Yue would survive.

Although he reached out to the black cloaked figure, he never had the chance to convince his past self to save him as the moment he tried, Pei Ziqi had already appeared and dealt with everything.

The battle ended, but no one felt happy. It had been an incredible display of abilities; a true battle amongst battles and everyone felt that it was no shame to lose to this youngster who had appeared out of nowhere, but now, sadly it was not just a case of simply losing. The senseless action of throwing one's life away made it hard for everyone else to swallow.

Not everyone within the sect knew each other, but everyone within the inner guard were familiar with their brothers. When the news of what had happened spread, everyone felt a sour taste in their mouth.

They were all filled with enmity towards Hui Yue. Although he had not been the one who had killed this Immortal of Creation, he was the one who pushed him to the point where he felt like he had no other option than to rely on the Sacrificial Rites.

While the sect was seething with gossip and all kind of rumors about the fight, Hui Yue did not care much. He left the field rather quickly and returned to the Mission Tower where he went to hand over his emblem which had recorded his victory.

"Can this even be considered winning?" Someone filled with disdain asked while others agreed with him. It was indeed shameful to go and trade his fellow sect member’s life for contribution points, but Hui Yue did not seem to care at all.

Hui Yue had a mission, and for this mission, he would walk through hell and back. He had to be strong so that he could protect those he loved, and if this strength had to be built on the lives of others, especially someone who had the intention of killing him, then so be it. Hui Yue truly did not care.

Sensing his carelessness everyone started labeling him a death god, but then they realized that he was, in fact, a Judge of Hell, and soon his title was seen as an insult. Being a Judge of Hell was truly a lofty position, but it was also occupied by some of the strongest and most ruthless men in the entire galaxy. Now they knew that Hui Yue was indeed as ruthless as those men.
