Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 450: Counterattack! (5k2, first update)
——The Lord of Blood Sacrifice has entered the "second stage"!

Through the thick layer of blood curtain spreading upward along the edge of the blood pool, Luo Xiu looked at the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" and the huge flesh and blood monster he pulled up from the blood pool.

He knew that in his previous life, the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" would release the monsters in the blood pool in this way when his blood volume dropped to a certain level.

Then it "merges" with it - the monster entangled in flesh and blood is the "container" that the Lord of Blood Sacrifice has been feeding with flesh and blood for decades, ready to be used at certain times!
He simultaneously maintained panel detection of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice and the flesh and blood monster. When the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was completely "swallowed" by the flesh and blood monster, occupying and controlling its flesh and blood core, new content appeared on Luo Xiu's panel -

[Skull Blood Throne·Lord of Blood Sacrifice]!
The original panel of the meat puppet has disappeared, and the panel of "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" has been replaced with new content, [Skull Blood Throne·Lord of Blood Sacrifice] - this is the new form after the fusion of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice and the monster of flesh and blood, and his various attributes have also been greatly improved!
"--Roar!!!"

Behind the blood curtain, the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" let out a deafening roar, and the surface of the "eye socket" where his head came out of immediately began to draw blood and flesh, completely sealing his body.

He retracted his "head", and seven or eight cracks appeared on the surface of the monster tangled with flesh and blood, emitting overlapping muddy, withered sounds:

"You are not... not an ordinary 'priest' either."

"Oh, you are now a 'bishop', the glorious bishop of the 'Holy See'..."

"But how could the 'bishop' of the Holy See possess such a forbidden power? This kind of contract is definitely not a god of [Glorious], and there are these... these ominous monsters..."

"Who...who are you?"

"..."

The "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" asked Luo Xiu these questions.

But he did not get a reply from Luo Xiu, so a muddy, withered sigh emanated from the cracks in his flesh and blood.

"I don't know...it doesn't matter."

"You... the 'bishop' whose name you don't know. You stole my doll, I will definitely... I will definitely make you live a life worse than death..."

"..."

Fresh blood dripped down one by one, and the blood pool was already more than half filled with blood.

Suddenly, the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" controlled a huge tentacle around the container and stretched it towards the edge of the blood pool, in the direction of several flesh and blood servants!

In the previous fierce battle, several flesh and blood servants were not affected by the battle and died. They hid beside the blood pool, waiting there aimlessly.

When the Lord of Blood Sacrifice extended his tentacles towards them, several flesh and blood servants seemed to be pulled by some huge suction force. They all left the ground and stumbled towards the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.

When the first flesh servant completely touched the huge tentacle, it was instantly rolled up by more tiny tentacles and then rolled into its body. The flesh servant's body began to turn into blood from the outside to the inside.
Dark red mist was released in waves, and in Luo Xiu's panel detection of [Skull Blood Throne·Lord of Blood Sacrifice], he saw that while the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was "blood sacrificing" his flesh and blood servants, his health quickly recovered from more than 200,000 to nearly 300,000!

Those flesh and blood servants are all blood packs that the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" had prepared for himself!
Luo Xiu watched this scene. His contracted beasts never stopped attacking the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice", but the blood curtain pulled up by the Lord of Blood Sacrifice controlled the blood pool to block these attacks, allowing the Lord of Blood Sacrifice inside to recover more calmly.

Luo Xiu knew that the blood curtain did have a terrifying shield value, but it would decrease proportionally over time, and now only the last tens of thousands of points were left.
Luo Xiu then raised his left hand slightly, and the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] in his hand, with its spiral three-edged blade, was already emitting a faint deep red light!

Behind Luo Xiu, the shadow of a terrifying ancient dragon appeared.

"--Roar!!!"

It had opened its terrifying bloody mouth and let out bursts of deafening and terrifying roars. Then, Luo Xiu held the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and chopped it down heavily!
--boom!!!!!

The scorching flames had turned into scarlet, dense light, which violently gushed and burst outward as the slashing blow fell!
——【Dragon Flame Demon Sword】Inherent skill, "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash"!
In the previous round of bombardment of the [Glorious] sacred art, the layers of "Ancient Dragon's Remnant Soul" have already reached the full three layers!
A terrifying crimson light surged and suddenly heavily slammed onto the blood curtain of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice. This horrific bombardment directly caused the blood curtain to be covered with cracks, and it was already shaking!

A violent shock erupted at the same time at the bottom of the entire blood cave. Those flesh and blood servants seemed to be unable to stand steadily and fell into the blood pool with plops.

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice's attempt to continue the "blood sacrifice" was also hindered. Cracks appeared on the flesh and blood monster outside him, and more and denser tentacles stretched out, and began to "salvage" the flesh and blood servants who fell into the blood pool.

At the same time, Luo Xiu had raised another ancient dragon weapon, the [Dragon Breath Scepter]!
The tip of the scepter, which was originally dark red, had also completely changed from dark red to deep red.

And behind Luo Xiu, a huge shadow appeared again - it was the shadow of another "dragon"!

Then, the deep red light on the dragon ball stone of the [Dragon Breath Scepter] in his right hand suddenly became brighter!

——Boom! ! ! ! !
The deep red, blazing light, when accumulated to a certain level, suddenly exploded in the direction of the crumbling blood curtain!

——【Dragon Breath Scepter】Inherent skill, "Breath of the Ancient Dragon"!
Snap!

——Pahla la la!

The "blood curtain" of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was completely shattered, and it fluttered down like a piece of broken gemstone shining with red light. The surging dragon breath suddenly burst out from the cracks in the blood curtain, fiercely burning on the fused body of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice"!

In just a moment, the large area between Luo Xiu and the 'Lord of Blood Sacrifice' had turned into a deep red like purgatory.

The flames burned and burned everything, and the body of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" began to tremble violently. The huge mouths that opened on his "body" emitted overlapping, turbid, and sharp howls -

“Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

——Boom! ! Fenrir, the "Eternal Night Wolf", immediately opened his huge bloody mouth and spewed out an extremely deep and scorching flame with a dark light in the direction of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice!
The realm of eternal night opened by it was finally able to cover the area previously blocked by the blood curtain. The pitch-black flames it spewed out had already burned the body of the main vessel of the blood sacrifice, burning the flesh and blood on the outside piece by piece, turning it into boiling blood that dripped into the blood pool.

The "blood curtain" was shattered, and the attack launched by Luo Xiu's contracted beasts finally hit the Lord of Blood Sacrifice violently again!
It was in Luo Xiu's vision, as he continued to watch the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice",
He saw that the flesh and blood of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" was shaking violently, and the flames of dark erosion and holy light had spread all over his new body. He had just recovered more than 300,000 health points when he began to fall at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At this moment, the "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul" of Luo Xiu's two ancient dragon weapons has been consumed and needs to be accumulated again. Luo Xiu keeps paying attention to the status of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, and he has started a new prayer.
Before taking the next step, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the body of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice", and the hundreds of large hands growing around his body suddenly stretched out like a spasm.
All the "grey blood" that had flowed into the blood pool from his wounds, was wrapped in a scarlet mist and rose up one by one like inverted rain!

A scarlet light began to float on his body, and at the same time, thick gray blood oozed out from every crack in his flesh and blood, smearing itself on the surface of the flesh and blood of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, forming complex and strange patterns.

And from that huge crack, the muddy, withered, and sharp voice of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice came out at the same time—

"——I have endured the burning and the divine eating,"

"——I have been cursed by blood for a long time!"

"——This is a blessing, this is a blessing..."

"——Use my blood to ignite the cursed fire!"

"——I will give you ashes and boiling!"

——Buzz!!!!!!!

When the cracks of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" emitted such a turbid and sharp sound, the countless gray blood that overflowed from the blood pool and flowed from his flesh and blood body suddenly burst into light!

——That is "authority"!
Luo Xiu has recognized what the Lord of Blood Sacrifice did.

That was the Level II authority of Red Lotus, and it was also the Level II authority that caused Bishop Fabion lifelong suffering.
——That is the "Gray Blood Curse"!
In Luo Xiu's memories of his previous life, he had participated in a group battle against the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" and roughly knew the release mechanism of the "Gray Blood Curse".

When the Lord of the Blood Sacrifice himself suffers a certain amount of trauma, he can condense all the consumed "gray blood" into cursed blood at once, inject it into the target's body with the evil curse, and continuously transform the cursed person's own blood into dead and corrupt "gray blood"!
The effect of being eroded by the "Grey Blood Curse" is not terrible at first, it is just a light "origin trauma" and a short-term "mild negative" state. But the "Grey Blood Curse" will split - just like Bishop Fabion, from a small amount of "Grey Blood Curse" at the beginning, it will quickly split into dozens, dozens, or even hundreds, and the loss of life value and the "deep negative" effect caused by it are quite hellish, and it is easy to accumulate to a level that is difficult to reverse.

Luo Xiu knew all this.

At the same time when Luo Xiu recognized that this Level II authority of [Red Lotus] was the "Gray Blood Nightmare Curse", before the "Gray Blood Nightmare Curse" actually took effect, Luo Xiu also raised his right hand.

Two overlapping rings of brilliant golden light appeared on the back of his hands, and two larger and brighter rings appeared behind him. Another authority of [Glory] that had already completed the prayer was also released from the tip of the Dragon's Breath Scepter!

——That is the "Glory Holy Seal"!
It was the [Glory] Level II authority, the "Holy Seal of Glory" that Luo Xiu had received from Hubert not long ago!
In the direction that Luo Xiu pointed with the [Dragon Breath Scepter] in his hand, a series of bright golden rings scattered out vertically, and the ring at the end directly "hooped" the Lord of Blood Sacrifice and emitted an extremely dazzling and hot light!

The "Gray Blood Nightmare" condensed by the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, the "Gray Blood Nightmare" that had condensed into a rising and falling gray blood curtain around him - under the authority of the "Glory Holy Seal", it instantly severed the spirituality that connected it internally, and it fell down like ordinary blood mixed with gray and scarlet!

This is exactly the function of the "Glory Holy Seal"!

Invalidate a designated "authority" - the "Glory Holy Seal" cast by Luo Xiu invalidated the effect of the "Gray Blood Curse"!

This was also the method that Luo Xiu had prepared long ago to deal with the "Gray Blood Curse" that the Lord of Blood Sacrifice would use.

In fact, the "Glorious Seal" is not the only way to deal with it. Before obtaining the "Glorious Seal", Luo Xiu actually wanted to use another earlier obtained [Glorious] Level II authority "God's Word Seal" to remove the negative effects of the "Grey Blood Curse" that would be imposed on himself.
But after obtaining the "Holy Seal of Glory", I have a better choice.

“—Ughhhhhhhhhhh!!”

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice let out a turbid, shrill wail. The power of the Grey Blood Curse failed to condense. The Lord of Blood Sacrifice rarely encountered such a thing.

“You…what did you do!!!”

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice roared, his flesh and blood trembling. Although he asked this question, he knew very well in his heart.

That "bishop"... the young "bishop" opposite him was actually granted a level II authority of [Glory]!

What you are suffering from must be authority, and it is the "authority" that can invalidate "authority"!
Although he didn't know what kind of authority the "bishop" used, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice could not think about it any further.

The spiritual authority of the "Gray Blood Nightmare Curse" dissipated, and at the same time, his "eyes" hidden under his flesh and blood saw that the bishop had raised his right hand again!

On the back of his right hand, golden light patterns appeared again!
——Another [glorious] “authority”!
——That is the "Seal of the Holy Severance"!
Although the authority that Luo Xiu used before, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, could not recognize what it was specifically, but the new authority that Luo Xiu used now, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was quite familiar with it.

"The Holy Seal of Severing Discipline"! In the "Holy War" a hundred years ago, I had also been struck by such power!

Even though it was only Level I authority, the damage it could cause against himself and the flesh-and-blood believers of Red Lotus would be no less than that of Level III authority!
The Lord of Blood Sacrifice has felt fear -

That is the fear that comes from the memory of flesh and blood.

His "real body" hidden in the entangled flesh and blood was trembling slightly, expressing strong resistance.

The deep trauma caused to him by the "Seal of Severing Vows" has become less severe, but it still persists!
Thinking about this and feeling fear, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice also took new actions.

And in the next moment, a light pattern with the same pattern as the holy seal on the back of Luo Xiu's hand was "imprinted" in mid-air.

It slowly but inexorably floated towards the direction of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, and would soon touch his huge, flesh-and-blood body.

On the side of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, the cracks on his body opened and closed at a high frequency, and just before the light pattern of the "Seal of Severing Discipline" actually hit him, a turbid sound was emitted:
"——The throne of destruction!"

"——I offer my blood and flesh, I beg for your mercy!"

"--throw me into your furnace, and let me burn,"

"——I crave this God-given suffering, which will make my flesh and blood like that of God!"

"..."

——Buzz!!!

A dark red mist suddenly spread out from the body of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice".

The flesh on the edge of his body began to burn and quickly turned into ashes, then merged into the dark red mist that was constantly rising.

That is also an authority!

——【Red Lotus】Level I authority, "God-cast flesh and blood"!
That is the authority to "sacrifice" part of one's own flesh and blood first, and then not suffer any harm or negative effects for a short period of time.

This method can indeed avoid the influence of the "Seal of Severance", which is equivalent to the Lord of Blood Sacrifice obtaining a "God-given Shield" from the "Throne of Destruction" that can isolate all external damage and effects, but -

Wow! ! !
The dark red mist emanating from the Lord of Blood Sacrifice was about to condense into substance, but suddenly it burst like a bubble and turned into water and flowed out.

The authority of "God made of flesh and blood" has also become invalid!

——The bishop hadn’t done anything yet, and the second authority of [Red Lotus] became invalid!
The Lord of Blood Sacrifice suddenly felt panic - panic accompanied by intense fear.

This time, he really didn't know what was going on.

What he obviously didn't know was that the first Level II authority that Luo Xiu used on him also had another hidden effect -

[If the invalidated "authority" is aimed at the user of "Glory Seal", the next "authority" used by the user will also be invalidated.]

——The next "authority" he uses will also be invalidated!
Under the circumstances at that time, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice could not understand all of this, and when his newly used [Red Lotus] authority "God-cast Flesh and Blood" became ineffective, before he could make any new moves, the holy seal light pattern from the "Holy Seal of Breaking the Vows" had already been deeply branded into the body of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice!

“——Ughhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

The Lord of Blood Sacrifice roared in pain, and smoke began to come out of hiss all over his body. The "container" formed by the entanglement of flesh and blood that was fused with his body began to peel off visibly at the moment the "Seal of Breaking the Vows" hit him!

——Crash!

——Crash!

The huge flesh and blood monster began to turn into water piece by piece from the outside.

The blood with a strong fishy smell gathered in the blood pool, and it had completely lost all its activity.

The Blood Sacrifice Lord's "Container" collapsed—

The horrific monster, which was supposed to be a thousand times the size of the Blood Sacrifice Lord's body, completely collapsed before it could truly display its terrifying, crushing power!
Until it finally exposed the mass of flesh and blood at its core - that was the true body of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice". The withered, decayed and twisted human figure was also covered in blood and flesh, and was also directly affected by the "Seal of the Severed Vows".

Under the effect of the "Seal of Severing Vows", the backlash from his flesh and blood was brought forward. He had fallen into severe mania, and his whole body began to burn with scorching flames!
