I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 472 - 199: Passing the Title, Second Generation Clan Leader

The collapse of the Yongshan Bo Division resulted in the creation of over a dozen divisions in Yongyi, each with an ancestral legacy of eight thousand years.

Even now, several divisions remain prosperous without decline, relying on the heritage and artifacts of the Yongshan Bo Division.

The quenching method revered by the Yongshan Bo Division is not uncommon in Yongyi, as many tribes possess it.

However, various tribes have long since broken down the quenching method, selecting those suitable for their clan members to cultivate, while storing away the rest.

Nevertheless, like the Blazing Flame, gathering all five quenching techniques and cultivating them on a large scale is unseen.

Moreover, corresponding to the five quenching methods is the Five Elements Celestial Vein Technique, which vanished along with the destruction of the Yongshan Bo Division.

The corresponding Celestial Vein Techniques circulating in Yongyi are incomplete; over the millennia, many tribes attempted repairs, but the results were often less effective than leaving it unrepaired.

Thus, currently, many tribes cultivate just the solitary quenching method of Yongshan according to their clan’s situation, without the subsequent Celestial Vein Technique.

Everyone merely uses the Yongshan quenching method as a foundation, continuing to cultivate their unique Celestial Vein Technique.

At this moment, witnessing the Five Pillars Skill demonstration outside the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple, some martial artists from various divisions who came to observe couldn’t help but let their thoughts wander.

The strongest divisions in Yongyi today wouldn’t dare to make such a grand claim of fully cultivating all Five Elements; yet a newly ascended division from the Northern Lands managed to assemble a complete set of Five Elements Quenching Methods.

How could they intend to become like Yongshan?

Regardless of their inner thoughts, everyone maintained smiles, their gazes fixed on the performers below.

In the five formations, each formation contained over a thousand young individuals; amidst the thunderous sound of war drums, their legs hit the ground, their bodies as steadfast as green pines, fists producing a howling wind.

During the martial arts demonstration, twelve young shamans emerged from the crowd; outside the temple, twelve nine-zhang bronze tripod cauldrons’ oils ignited, lighting up red fire runes, transforming into fiery pillars soaring high.

At this moment, the drumbeat grew even more majestic, and a roar echoed from afar, as a black torrent rolled in from the distance when the Five Elements demonstration formations retreated.

Black war chariots, Dragon Blood Horses clad in black armor in front, upon each chariot stood martial artists also donning black armor.

Among them, seventy-two black-armored martial artists followed each war chariot.

The physiques of these black-armored warriors resembled bears, surrounded by ominous qi, marching alongside the chariots, their footfalls resonating thunderously, merging with the drum beats.

"What is this, why are they bringing out the war chariots?"

"Which clan doesn’t have a few war chariots?"

Chariots drawn by Dragon Blood Horses passed in front of the Ancestral Temple, arranged in thirty-six columns, each four chariots wide.

As the chariots passed alongside the observing Wizard Battleship, the aura of numerous martial artists aboard abruptly froze.

"Lord Bo, why is the aura of these chariots so terrifying; is that not the Kui Ox Pattern upon them?"

The Upper-class Xuan Yue Tribe Leader, near Lord Jishan, cautiously approached and spoke.

"It’s the Kui Ox Pattern!"

Lord Jishan glanced over and confirmed.

"That’s impossible; the Kui Ox Chariots of the Yongshan Bo Division were azure, and the craft has long been lost. How could the Blazing Flame recreate them, isn’t it just some random beast pattern, a cheap imitation..."

The Xuan Yue Tribe Leader’s words trailed off as he realized Lord Jishan ignored him; he sheepishly withdrew his statement.

In those days, even the Yongshan Bo Division merely possessed a thousand-tier division with a thousand Kui Ox Chariots.

Lord Jishan’s Divine Sense scanned the chariots below, easily distinguishing that the texture of the black Kui Ox Chariots was far inferior to the Bronze War Chariots.

Yet the black Kui Ox Chariots bore over ten thousand Water Witch Talisman Spirit Bans, their arrangement seamlessly interlocking, their aura flowing like water.

This forcibly utilized exquisite witch talisman spirit bans, elevating the chariot to the tier three witch artifact level.

Following the chariots were the arrayed Blood Armor Martial Artists, their armors tight-fitting, with witch patterns sparkling.

Their squad of over ten thousand moved as one entity, silent except for the synchronized sound of stepping.

Their armors glimmered with traces of Wind Witch Rune Spirit Ban.

This is merely an initial stage, likely enhancing the martial artists’ speed by thirty percent; more advanced Wind Spirit Bans, or even wings, require further exploration.

Numerous martial artists aboard the observing battleship were stunned, watching the Blood Sea Guard Martial Artists, feeling the intimidating presence, not noticing much else.

A few were puzzled by the Blazing Flame’s intentions in employing such tactics, questioning their purpose beyond intimidation.

Buzz! Buzz!

As the Blood Sea Guard passed by, a buzzing sound arose as dozens of three-zhang-large flying ships parted into formation and soared in.

On both ends of the flying ships, giant crossbows flickered with witch patterns.

Yet these crossbows differed entirely from other clans in Yongyi; beneath the crossbows, hung gigantic arrow bags equipped for automatic loading.

Currently incapable of fully autonomous firing, they require assistance from archers to activate the mechanisms inside the arrow bag post-discharge.

This way, the stored giant arrows can, via springs, be pressed into the firing track of the crossbow from below.

The faster clansmen, under such circumstances, can fire a giant arrow every two breaths, drastically surpassing previous manual loading speeds by several folds.

This type of flying ship is intended for routine patrols, though in times of war, it can naturally serve as a powerful instrument.
