“Tap, tap ……”
“Wow ……”
The incomparably heavy sound of footsteps came from behind the altar, Ning Cheng forced himself to steady his mind and stared over.
A giant, who was more than ten feet tall, was walking over step by step. Every step that landed on the ground caused a tremble in the surroundings.
What shocked Ning Cheng even more was the misery of this giant; there was a huge bloody hole in this giant’s chest, with no heart. The heart seemed to have been forcibly ripped out, and blood still fell along his chest. He also had only one arm, and his only arm and two feet were chained in huge chains. Every step he took made the chains clatter with every step he took.
Even his eyes were left with only one, and it was a hollow one, and the other eye was blind. The remaining hollow eye had the same oozing blood dripping down from it, and the whole man could only be described as miserable.
“I sacrifice with my blood to return my heart ……”
“With my blood sacrifice, I return my eye ……”
……
The giant walked woodenly towards the altar, his mouth repeating two words over and over again.
Ning Cheng subconsciously looked at the blood lake opposite the altar, and it suddenly occurred to him that the beating heart in the blood lake did not belong to that giant?
The giant had already walked next to the altar, he didn’t care about the altar, he just reached out to grab that heart in the lake. His mouth still kept calling out, “I sacrifice with my blood”, return my heart …… I sacrifice with my blood, return my eyes ……”
But those three chains seemed to calculate the distance, locking that giant in place, and the giant’s only remaining hand came up to the top of the blood lake, and could no longer advance half a point.
Look at the giant’s bowed body. Trying to grab the heart of the blood lake. A sense of desolation rose up in Ning Cheng’s heart. A thought suddenly came to his mind. Wanting to help that giant take out the heart. Or rather, he wanted to help that actually cut through the three chains and let go of that giant.
But Ning Cheng hadn’t lost his mind, he was now in a difficult position to protect himself. Because there was no way out for him to escape, he could only temporarily survive in the middle of this altar and the blood lake, not to mention cutting the three chains. These three chains, I am afraid, would not have been able to cut them even when he was at his full strength.
Just then. A whimpering sound suddenly rose from the altar, like the sound of a bull’s horn on a battlefield. This whining sound made Ning Cheng very uncomfortable and he had no way to stop it.
As this whimpering sound came out, the giant’s movements to grab the heart became even more agitated as he kept trying to rush forward, but each time he was locked in place by the iron ropes.
Or maybe the giant was struggling too much, Ning Cheng actually detected a familiar aura on the giant, he had seen this aura somewhere before.
Before Ning Cheng could think about it carefully, the dark red worms in that blood lake were affected by the whimpering sound of the altar and swarmed up again.
Only this time, these worms seemed to be regular. They did not rush towards Ning Cheng’s side. However, Ning Cheng’s face quickly changed, he was a formation master. Proficient in formations, he naturally understood what these bugs were doing.
These bugs had actually set up an unparalleled blood-sucking formation, and once this formation was completed, all the blood in the surroundings would be sucked into the blood lake. In other words, the blood on his body would also not be able to avoid this fate.
What a vicious son of a b*tch, to use the sound of the altar to control these bugs to set up a blood-sucking formation here. Ning Cheng was furious in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
“Ka ka ka ……” As the bugs continued to gather, this formation had already formed.
A terrifying and incomparable suction force came from it, and Ning Cheng hurriedly sacrificed the Infinite Blue Thunder City. It only took a few moments for his Peerless Blue Thunder City to be sucked away.
The essence blood in his body, at this time, seemed to be uncontrollable, wanting to break through his skin and bones and be sucked into the blood lake.
“Buzz ……” While Ning Cheng was still resisting, the blood from the giant’s body had already formed a blood bridge and fell into the blood lake with a bang.
Ning Cheng looked miserable beyond words, this giant had been tortured like this, and this guy who had locked him up still didn’t let go, and was still here to continuously suck the blood from his body.
At this moment, Ning Cheng finally understood where the blood in this blood lake came from, it turned out that it was all sucked out of this giant’s body.
The giant’s roaring voice was even more poignant and swift, “I sacrifice my blood to return my heart …… I sacrifice my blood to return my eyes ……”
“Ka-ching ……” An explosive sound came as Ning Cheng’s shadow of the Infinite Green Thunder City was once again sucked apart and blown apart.
Ning Cheng, who was exhausted, once again offered up the shadow of the Limitless Green Thunder City and abruptly shouted at the giant, “Don’t snatch your heart, you can’t snatch it now, you’re just letting the Blood Lake suck away your blood for nothing, so hurry up and retreat back. But before you retreat back, I would like to ask you to do me a favour, tear the space in this place apart and let me go. As long as I, Ning Cheng, do not die, I will come here one day in the future to help you reclaim your heart.”
The giant blankly stopped charging towards the blood lake, and his empty eyes looked at Ning Cheng’s side.
When Ning Cheng saw that the giant had reacted, he said even more loudly, “You believe in me, as long as I live, I will definitely come to help you.”
“Many years ago, I helped a man in the same way, but he never came back to help me ……” The giant’s tone was hoarse and wooden, devoid of any emotion.
Ning Cheng froze, he couldn’t imagine that someone had lied to this giant in front of him. This made him angry in his heart, that son of a b*tch had lied to the giant and would make him fall here today.
Ning Cheng was about to explain a few words when the giant suddenly said again, “I will help you ……”
After saying these words, the giant raised his hand and grabbed in the void, a torn space appeared in front of Ning Cheng, and a spatial wind blade scattered out from the space.
After the giant grabbed open the space, he no longer paid attention to Ning Cheng, still rushing towards the blood lake to grab the heart, “I sacrifice my blood to return my heart …… I sacrifice my blood to return my eyes ……”
Ning Cheng’s heart heated up and roared out to the giant, “I’m leaving, don’t you go grabbing for the heart again, listen to me and hurry back. One day, I will come to help you. I, Ning Cheng, never break my word ……”
“Ka-ching ……” The shadow of the Infinite Blue Thunder City shattered again, and the space that had been scratched open by the giant slowly diminished. Ning Cheng did not dare to delay for a moment, and after saying these words, he directly rushed into the space that had been torn apart by the giant.
“Boom ……” Just as Ning Cheng disappeared, the space torn apart by the giant completely closed up, and the blood lake and the altar and the giant behind him all disappeared.
Ning Cheng stood in this space and let the spatial wind blades blast at his body for a full incense stick before Ning Cheng muttered, “As long as I, Ning Cheng, don’t die, one day I will come here, exterminate those disgusting worms, destroy the Ancestral Treasury Altar and cut off those three chains!”
After saying these words, Ning Cheng turned back in silence, at this moment, he felt incomparably insignificant. Even if he had cultivated to the middle stage of the Heavenly Plane Realm, he was still a tiny mole in the vast universe. There were countless existences that were more powerful than him.
The moment Ning Cheng sacrificed the Starry Sky Wheel and prepared to leave, he suddenly stalled. At this moment, he remembered the familiar aura of the giant.
It was an eye, an eye that had been nailed to the bottom of a lake.
That lake was called the White Ghost Lake, and that place was called the Abandoned Land. At the bottom of the White-clothed Ghost Lake in the endless desert of the Abandoned Land, a green eye was nailed with a bizarre dagger, unable to move at all.
At this moment, in connection with the aura on the giant, he finally understood that the green eye also belonged to this giant.
Ning Cheng winced as he recalled Princess Man of Aaron City again. Princess Man’s forehead had a crystal dot, and the aura of that crystal dot was exactly the same as the eye at the bottom of the lake.
Once Ning Cheng had thought that Princess Man was the one that the eye was preparing to take over, but now he finally understood that Princess Man had long been taken over. But the person who had taken the body was not the eye at the bottom of the lake, but wanted to refine the eye at the bottom of the lake into her third eye.
This fellow who had taken Princess Mann’s life was really ambitious, to the extent that he wanted to refine this giant’s eye as his third eye.
Ning Cheng suddenly had some regrets in his heart, he should have finished off Princess Mann at all costs back then. Although he was certain that Princess Mann could not have refined that third eye so quickly, he owed the giant a favour, and since he was going to help that giant, he should do so to the end. That eye, he would definitely bring back to the giant
