Most of the deaths in the sacrificial ceremonies occurred in the second stage and the third stages.
"Boom! Boom! " Under the waterfall, the twin sisters prayed together in the morning, adjusting their bodies and minds for the most perfect state.
"Hum?" Suddenly, Red Lotus realized something was wrong.
No, it wasn't something bad, but something so good that made her feel incredible.
Her synchronization rate with the Red Lotus Holy Sword was increasing strikingly!
50%, 51%, 52%, 53%... Usually, it would take her a month to increase 1% or 2% synchronization rate with the Red Lotus Holy Sword, but now, under the waterfall, she could clearly feel that the connection between the Red Lotus Holy Sword and herself was becoming closer and closer.
As if something lurking in her body had been released, her body naturally emitted the same aura as the Red Lotus Holy Sword.
There were even golden sparks flying out from the Red Lotus Holy Sword, floating around her body.
"It's strange, what's going on today?" Red Lotus gazed at the Red Lotus Holy Sword in confusion.
Every inch of her skin emitted scorching temperatures, but none of the heat had spilled out.
From her soul to her body, she was immersed in a sense of extreme excitement, like a flaming fire, releasing her unbridled joy.
"White Lotus, I seem to have had an epiphany!" Red Lotus smiled, opening her eyes wide in surprise. She didn't expect that the so-called "epiphany" in Buddhism would happen to herself.
"Sister, your body is enlightened." White Lotus naturally knew what had happened to her sister and began to regret it.
If she had known it earlier, she would have changed her position on the bed last night.
It must be because of my prince! If he took off my clothes last night instead of my sister's, I would be the one whose body was enlightened today!
"Yes, that's the so-called epiphany, enlightenment!" Naturally, Red Lotus knew nothing about what had happened to her last night. She only felt that her heart was beating violently, her chest and her whole body were burning as if they had turned into flames.
This feeling is too wonderful!
"I want to be stronger!" Red Lotus looked up and announced, "For White Lotus, I want to be as strong as Casina the Battle God!"
"Sister, what if I say that you can become stronger if you fell in love with the prince?" White Lotus squinted, asking in a casual tone.
"The prince? That jerk?" Remembering the prince who kissed her sister in the dream and ran away after that, Red Lotus bristled with anger in an instant.
"This joke is not funny at all."
"If it's true, I'd cut him into pieces right away, pieces that can be used to feed fish!" Red Lotus raised her sword and said the sentence again.
"The prince must die!"
A pair of dark red flame wings extended from behind Red Lotus, the sparks on Red Lotus' sword flew up, and eventually gathered together and turned into a huge column of light, evaporating the huge waterfall instantly.
For ten seconds, not even a drop of water fell down from the waterfall!
Red Lotus' sword cut off the water flow of the whole waterfall and created a deep red torrent of flame above the waterfall, which looked as if a volcano just erupted.
"Ah... there is still a long way to go..." Looking at her sister's angry appearance and the flaming wings behind her, White Lotus felt that she still had to keep the thing last night a secret.
My prince is probably no match of my sister now, and even I can't stop my sister if she went crazy.
Nevertheless, it doesn't matter. My sister's body is still very honest. As I guessed, her body will never refuse my prince.
For us, my prince is special, because he represents the glory of hope.
Because my sister was close to the light of hope last night, she could become stronger today.
Sooner or later, my sister will understand.
So, wait a little longer, my prince.
My sister and I will come to you and become your wings!
"Yawn!" Yun Xi suddenly shivered and sneezed on the roof of the Witch Palace.
"It's cold." Although it was a perfectly sunny day, Yun Xi still felt as if he was a lost person wandering in the fog, unable to find the way forward.
"Master, you don't need to be afraid. After all, you have had so many girlfriends, it doesn't matter if you have more! Just like stepping on boats, if you stepped on two boats, you may fall into the water. However, if there are countless boats that have been strung together by countless steel wires, you can walk on the boats as though walking upon the flat ground." Mei'er encouraged her master, after all, it was a great mission entrusted to her by the stars.
"Who said it?" Yun Xi always thought Mei'er's words were unreliable.
"Balance in all things," said Mei'er with a mysterious smile.
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted, this was your favorite quotation in your past life, master!"
Chapter 505: A Duel Caused by a Gem
Actually, I shouldn't have come here.
Looking at the Altar of Deity, Yun Xi sighed.
To be honest, he had an ominous presentiment and really wanted to leave as soon as possible. Unfortunately, once the sacrificial ceremony started, it could never be stopped, otherwise, the witches would be cursed.
That was the reason why he didn't run away from the Witch Palace after he had actually gained his freedom again.
White Lotus' gentle eyes were firmer than any shackles, locking Yun Xi's heart tightly.
She believed that her prince would never leave before they successfully accomplished the sacrificial ceremony.
She was right.
Yun Xi wouldn't look at Red Lotus and White Lotus being cursed because of him, so he had to stay and wait for the coming of the evening.
At dusk, it was the critical point between day and night, the time that devils and evils appeared, and the time that humans and gods could meet. In ancient times, witches called this time "devil's time".
The sacrifice in the first stage was to open a virtual Door of Dusk, so that the gods could pass through and descend into the real world from the void.
On the silent Altar of Deity, Yun Xi held Red Lotus' hand in his left hand and White Lotus' hand in his right hand, and because the twin witches were born inseparable, they also held each other's hands. They sat in a circle in the middle of the Altar of Deity, waiting for the arrival of dusk.
As time went by, White Lotus became slightly surprised and uneasy, because she didn't see any sign that the first stage of the ceremony had been accomplished. None of the gods or fantastic creatures in the void appeared in front of the other side of the Door of Dusk, which was about to open!
Is there something wrong?
According to her experience, she should be able to vaguely feel the aura of the god on the other side of the Door of Dusk now. However, there was nothing standing on the other side of the door!
Red Lotus also felt confused, but her confusion wasn't related to the sacrificial ceremony. She just felt that her sister, White Lotus' palm was becoming hotter than usual.
No, not only her sister, it seemed that her own palm was also becoming hotter and hotter. It seemed that the circle formed by the three people formed a strange aura field, which combined the three people's auras together.
There was something that was happening in the circle. The three people's breathing and heartbeats were synchronizing.
Aura Resonance... Is it because of my prince... White Lotus guessed. Unlike her sister, she knew what it meant.
On the contrary, Yun Xi still knew nothing about what was happening. In fact, from the very beginning, he had had an uneasy feeling and always felt that something was wrong in the sacrificial ceremony.
In fact, he guessed right.
A great war was taking place in the void above the White Lotus Sword Domain!
"I am an Ancient God, a Sunwalker, Hura Azda! My soldiers, obey my ord
ers and fight for me!" The Sunwalker with a dog-headed mask on his face raised the scepter in his hand. In the blink of an eye, millions of sand soldiers came out of the void and marched toward the battlefield in an orderly line.
Their opponent was an immortal bird flying in the sky, whose existence itself was already a disaster to the world. Just a few sparks on her beautiful tail feathers fell to the ground, and this had ignited and burned hundreds of sand soldiers into ashes.
Phoenix, the immortal bird, the fantastic creature who represented for immortality.
Hura Azda, the Sunwalker, the king of the desert, and the god of billions of mortals.
They were the first couple who noticed the sacrifice offered by the twin witches, and the first couple who fought for it!
"I saw it first, I saw it first!" Phoenix swooped and spat out a deep red fireball from her mouth, bombarding Hura Azda's sand soldier army.
"Boom!" Over 100,000 sand soldiers were totally evaporated under Phoenix's attack. As a mushroom cloud rose to the sky, a large part of the sand soldier army was eliminated in an instant.
"Phoenix, the sacrifice is mine!" As a rare Sunwalker, the King of Desert, and an Ancient God, Hura Azda seldom responded to any prayer or call from humans.
The reason was simple, because humans couldn't offer him any sacrifices that could let him feel interested in. Even a top level fire-type ruby couldn't get him to take a glance at it.
As a Sunwalker, he was a natural destroyer, no matter where he went, endless flame storms would naturally emerge and swallow the world. And during the process, countless gemstones would naturally form and condense.
To put it bluntly, all Sunwalkers were a king with endless wealth. They could make the top level magic gemstones themselves. Moreover, they were also the strongest beings in the endless god's domains.
Common gemstones were meaningless to them, only the stones that contained a god’s power, for example, a Kryolite could draw their attention.
However, a Kryolite could only slightly draw their attention, but none of them would respond to a call just for a Kryolite. If the summoner didn’t offer up hundreds of Kryolites, it wasn't possible to summon a Sunwalker.
However, it was different this time!
When the twin witches started the sacrificial ceremony, Hura Azda instantly noticed the sacrifice and realized how valuable it was.
At a great cost, he passed through countless worlds and finally arrived at this place on time.
It was hard to describe the strong temptation of the sacrifice was for him. After becoming a Sunwalker, he had almost forgotten the feeling of palpitating with excitement.
How long has it been since the last time I had this feeling?
I want it! I want it! Even if I have to sacrifice millions of my subordinates, I must obtain it!
At the moment he arrived here, he instantly noticed Phoenix, who just reached this same place a moment ago. Without hesitation, he immediately closed the space passage and enclosed this area in the void using his god power, forcing Phoenix to fight with him before she could access the Door of Dusk!
Hereby, the war between a god and a fantastic creature began!
This was a war of gods. Whether it was Phoenix or Hura, the time of their lives was far longer than the history of the endless god's domains. Even the aftermath of their battle was enough to destroy all of the White Lotus Sword Domain.
Above the battlefield, an ice-blue figure was staring coldly at the duel between the god and the fantastic creature.
She was the ruler, the witness, and the guardian of the Sky Sword God's Domain. Her presence represented that the duel between them had been recognized by the Sky Sword God's Domain, and was under surveillance of them.
Chapter 506: Sunwalker
Millions of sand soldiers raised the strange weapons in their hands and sang the praises of their god, the guardian of their race, the great king of the desert, the god of the sun, Hura Azda.
When the soldiers were still alive, the first sentence they heard when they opened their eyes was "Hura Bless me!", and then they were baptized by the priests and became a believer of the Sun God.
From birth to death, they listened to the voices of the priests and fought steadfastly for their god. After death, they would come to the Sun God and become his immortal sand soldiers.
The more devout they were, the stronger sand soldier they could transfer into after their death.
"Those who do good get a reward for good, those who do evil get a reward for evil." After good people died, beautiful girls would descend and lead them to heaven.
However, if they were evil people, female ghosts would drag them into hell and let them suffer in perdition forever.
The soldiers Hura needed would be selected from the Judge’s Bridge, and Hura would grant them undead bodies and let them become members of his sand soldier army.
The more sand soldiers Hura summoned, the stronger he would become. Usually, his sand soldier army was strong enough to sweep away millions of enemy troops alone, therefore, Hura hadn't had any fight with any beings for a very, very long time.
However, his opponent this time was Phoenix, a fantastic creature whose identity wasn't inferior to him.
She held not only the rule of "fire", but also the concept of "eternity".
All attacks were meaningless to Phoenix, because she was an immortal bird who wouldn’t die!
Phoenix was the only fantastic creatures known in the endless god's domains that couldn't be killed by any methods, her existence itself stood for "eternity".
Her regenerative capacity was much stronger than Hydra, who had nine heads and nine lives. Even though Hura was a Sunwalker, it felt tricky when facing such an opponent who couldn't be killed.
During the war that had lasted for more than ten hours, he had successfully hit Phoenix's heart, head, and body more than once. Phoenix's whole body had even been crushed by his golden scepter, however, she could always recover herself in a flash as if nothing had happened.
"Witness the Sin of the Sun!" As the evening approached, Hura Azda finally decided to get rid of Phoenix.
"The Sun Disk, appear for me!" The golden scepter was inserted into the desert under Hura's feet, and there, countless fireballs began appearing in the sky.
A golden fireball appeared in the middle of the sky, and with countless black spots flying in the fireball. After it appeared on the battlefield, the temperature around it began to rise at a terrible rate.
It was a God Weapon, the Sun Disk! It wasn't a common god weapon that could be obtained by a common hero ranked humans, but a weapon that really belonged to a god!
All over the sky, unnatural fire clouds appeared in an unnatural way.
One cloud after another gathered together and flew to him from ten miles, a hundred miles, or even thousands of miles away.
The original bright sunshine became dim again, and the grey clouds fell heavily to the ground as if they were going to crush the earth.
Rotating, rotating, it seemed as if there was an invisible mixer in the sky, all clouds in the sky started rotating at an incredible speed, which looked as if a huge flame furnace was being ignited.
In fact, that was what was happening. The Sun Disk was a miniature incarnation of the sun, which was also named "SN-Drive" in some god's domains. (SN-Drive, Sun Nucleus Drive)
"I'm not afraid!" Because she knew that she wouldn't die, Phoenix always chose the same tactic in battle.
Whoever her opponent was, she just needed to rush up and beat them down!
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust... Rest in peace..." Hura closed his eyes. There were gold-red fragments flying around his fingertips, which looked surprisingly similar to the Kryolite sacrificed by the twin witches.
All of a sudden, a brighter figure appeared in the middle of the sky. His body was brighter than the sun, emitted golden lights and illuminated the entire world.
When this figure appeared, a strong aura spread and announced his dignity to all
beings in the world.
All the sand soldiers knelt down and presented their highest respect to the great existence in the sky.
It was Hura Azda's real body, the Sunwalker, a real supreme Sun God!
When he opened his eyes, there were countless golden lights shining out of his eyes. His hair was as bright as the real sun.
In a flash, it looked as if there were countless hot suns emerging out in the sky.
He held a small, golden Sun Disk in his hand, aiming at Phoenix with no emotion in his eyes.
Only the black particles that were constantly emanating from the Sun Disk in his hand announced what an ominous thing this god weapon was at the moment.
It's an astronomical phenomenon called "sunspot". A sunspot was powerful enough to destroy a planet completely. At this moment, the number of sunspots twining around the Sun Disk had already exceeded 3,000.
Compressing a sunspot into a black particle, it was already a power that was beyond all hero ranked beings' imagination.
This was the ability of a legendary god, the power of the Sunwalker.
"Rest in peace, Phoenix." Hura shook his head at Phoenix who was rushing at him, throwing the sun disk lightly towards her.
The golden Sun Disk turned into a magnificent golden track, cut through Phoenix's body and lighted her feathers.
Instantly, countless sunspots exploded and annihilated Phoenix's body, destroying the entire battlefield.
Continuous explosions of sunspots almost decomposed and annihilated everything in the void, endless solar storms swept through the entire space.
The end of the world!
The power of the Sun Disk could only be described in this way, that was the power of the Sunwalker.
Chapter 507: Three Questions
The Sun Disk rotated, flew back into Hura's hands and shrank rapidly, disappearing together with Hura's real body in the sky.
As for Phoenix, her body had been completely annihilated.
"Huh..." The only survivor, Hura's projection breathed a sigh of relief.
