Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 453 [Hunting the God's Heir·Red Lotus Seed]!
After settling the Hell Hidden Mission [Dusk and Night], I first obtained a skill and a ability of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice".

The skill originally belonging to [Red Lotus] - transformed into the "ancient heritage" skill "Blood Sacrifice to Blood God", which is a basic ritual that can be used to sacrifice to [Red Lotus]'s pillar god "Destruction Seat".

The sacrifice can be made with the flesh and blood of the person presiding over the ritual, or with that of others. This skill belongs to the Red Lotus extraordinary people who worship flesh and blood, and is an important cornerstone for increasing power.

And for Luo Xiu, sacrificing his flesh and blood to seek the spirituality and power of the [Red Lotus] from the "Throne of Destruction"... This in itself is contrary to the destiny of [Glory] and [Abyss] that he has already embarked on.

This does not mean much to him, and there are some dangers, so the situation is rather "special".

Luo Xiu knew that it was not only the [Red Lotus], but in fact each destiny had some corresponding rituals, which could be used to ask for divine blessings from the pillar gods of their respective destiny - such as the consecration ceremony of [Glory], the martyrdom ceremony of [Abyss], etc., which could strengthen the connection between destiny and pillar gods in a short period of time.

The greatest significance of letting Luo Xiu, whose destiny is mainly [Glory] and supplemented by [Abyss], master the ancient inherited skill of "Blood Sacrifice to Blood God" which should belong to [Red Lotus] is that he can achieve spiritual connection with the "Throne of Destruction" in this way!
That would allow the "Throne of Destruction" to cast a glance at him. Even though his power would not truly belong to him, the true divinity that came from "Destruction" could always do things that "Glory" and "Abyss" could not do.

For example, through the ritual of "blood sacrifice", a special engraving of a certain type of weapon, equipment or prop can be completed; or the spirituality of [Red Lotus] can be injected on special occasions to change some physical properties, etc.

You can also use "blood sacrifice" to achieve a certain disguise - let the God-given spirituality of the "Throne of Destruction" cover your body, and radiate a violent and rampant spiritual surge, thus covering up the spiritual aura belonging to [Glory] or [Abyss].
If some other prerequisites are also met at the same time, it can indeed make other extraordinary people and saints who are not destined to be [Red Lotus] believe that they are destined to be [Red Lotus].

These are all very direct uses.

But for Luo Xiu, the greatest benefit is not just these, but when the sacrifice of the "blood sacrifice" is high enough and rich enough, he can even see the "Throne of Destruction" in the field of vision of the "Sea of ​​Spirituality" during the "Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God" ceremony!
If you truly "face" a pillar god, there are many things you can do.

However, that is not what I should do when I am in the "Fivefold Fate".
An occasion where one needs to truly "face" a "pillar god" that is beyond one's destiny... or in other words, a corresponding "ritual" - that is something that one would only attempt after advancing to the sixth or even seventh level of destiny.

"..."

Regarding the skill of "Blood Sacrifice to Blood God", Luo Xiu immediately thought of all these.

As for the other skill obtained from the "Legacy of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice" - the "Authority" skill, it was an unexpected gain!
——Level I authority, “God-made flesh and blood”!
This is a Level I authority that originally belonged to [Red Lotus] and was transformed into "ancient heritage"!
Correspondingly, there are some minor adjustments in its effects, but the main effect still exists - as long as you consume blood in advance for "blood sacrifice", you can obtain the "authority" of super long invincibility time!
The initial invincibility period is 5 seconds, which can be extended to a maximum of 25 seconds - this is a really terrifying power that literally means "invincible".

In fact, in the previous battle with the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice had tried to use this authority. The Lord of Blood Sacrifice originally wanted to use it to fight against the "Seal of Severing Disciplines", but was forcibly interrupted by the effect of the "Seal of Radiance" and was unable to actually use it.

Now Luo Xiu always feels that he is truly "inheriting" the legacy of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice - it is a waste of resources to leave the Level I authority of "God-cast Flesh and Blood" to the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, and he has to use it for himself!
Luo Xiu himself is also quite compatible with the effect of "God-cast Flesh and Blood". Not only is the positive "invincible" effect of this power very useful, its negative effect is also quite useful to Luo Xiu.
"God-cast flesh and blood" - the prerequisite for its activation is "burning blood". And it can burn up to 60% of the upper limit of health value to activate the "God-cast flesh and blood" state for the longest time.

And the blood volume that consumes 60% of the upper limit of health is exactly the blood volume required for [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] to stack 3 layers of "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul"!
In other words, after activating "Divinely Forged Flesh and Blood" at maximum intensity, Luo Xiu can simultaneously use "Ancient Dragon's Brutal Breath" and "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" with the highest number of "Ancient Dragon's Remnant Soul" superimposed, which can cause a large amount of additional burst damage!
In this way, when the "mana" consumed by releasing the holy arts has reached the upper limit of 60% or more, taking into account the layers of "Ancient Dragon Residual Soul" that the two ancient dragon weapons initially possessed, Luo Xiu can simultaneously blast out up to six times of "Ancient Dragon's Evil Breath" and "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash"!
If this could be done before, then by using a round of holy magic of annihilation, the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" could be directly knocked from his prime to the brink of death.

The blood consumed to activate "God-Forged Flesh and Blood" can be quickly restored to full health through the powerful recovery specialties such as [Brigantis·Demon Bloodline] and [Gluttonous True Ancestor·Tyrant Terminator] obtained previously. Basically, the blood volume has been restored to full before the invincibility time of "God-Forged Flesh and Blood" is over, so there is no need to worry about sudden death.

This is truly a huge jump in intensity!

"..."

Luo Xiu was thinking about these things happily.

Luo Xiu was quite satisfied with the settlement that resulted in him obtaining the "skill" of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice and actually being able to calculate out an authority. He quickly confirmed the result of the settlement.

After confirming the receipt of this Level I authority "God-cast Flesh and Blood", new content popped up on Luo Xiu's task panel at the same time -

[Promotion Mission: Ascension of the Holy Wing (Hell Difficulty)]

[Task status refresh——]

【…】

【任务目标二：获得2项Ⅱ级权柄，5项Ⅰ级权柄（Ⅱ级权柄：2/2，Ⅰ级权柄：5/5），已完成】

【…】

The promotion mission [Ascension of the Holy Wings] has also met the mission goal of mastering "authority"!

Now, all that’s left is to get the last point of divine punishment for “Mission Objective Four” to completely complete this promotion mission.

Luo Xiu thought about these things with excitement.

He immediately closed the promotion task panel and reopened the [Dusk and Night] panel.

Although the previous settlement results had made him happy and excited, the process of settling his rewards had not yet ended.

In Luo Xiu's panel, there was still one last "expertise" that had not been settled.

——From the "Legacy of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice", you can also obtain another specialty of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice!
Luo Xiu then gave the final settlement order.

【…】

[In the battle with the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice", you realize that your life is becoming more and more tenacious. ]

[Gained expertise: "Gray Curse (Epic)"]

[Grey Omen Curse (Epic): You were given the blood of Grey Omen, and from then on you bore the heavy yoke of destruction. It did not completely engulf you, but made you bloom like a lotus of fire - you and Grey Omen have become one, and other than that, you have become indifferent to all external, pathetic binding curses.]

[Your "Resistance" attribute +60, "Gray Blood Curse"'s curse effect on you is reduced by 50%. Except for "Gray Blood Curse", the outbreak time of curses cast on you by targets 10 levels or higher than you will be extended by 100%, and the "Resistance" attribute will be doubled when the curse breaks out; the outbreak time of curses cast on you by targets 2 levels higher than you will be extended by 10%, and the "Resistance" attribute will be doubled when the curse breaks out.]

【…】

"Not bad..." Luo Xiu murmured.

The "epic" quality feat, "Gray Cursebringer", although not marked with a special label, can indeed be regarded as an exclusive feat of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.

Luo Xiu confirmed the result of this settlement, and all the rewards for the hidden hell mission [Dusk and Night] have now been settled.

And Luo Xiu also has one last settlement to make - that is the settlement of the reward for killing the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice"!

At this time, he could already hear the rumbling noise coming from not far away. As he was settling accounts and hurrying on his way, he was not far from Albert's main battlefield.

He had also opened the mailbox panel, watching the red dot of the killing reward for "Blood Sacrifice Lord" flashing, and gave the panel the command "Receive" -

[Kill "Blood Sacrifice Lord" (lv.60), gain 24686 basic experience points] ["Burning Soul" takes effect, gain 20% additional experience points]

["Evil Soul" takes effect, gain 30% additional experience points]

["Extremely Evil Soul" takes effect, gain 50% additional experience points]

["Noble Judgment" takes effect, gain 16 free attribute points]

[Rewards settlement, actual experience points gained: 49372! ]

【…】

[“Lord of Blood Sacrifice” is a natural disaster + level boss]

[Rewards for killing the Calamity+ boss are being generated...]

【…】

[Kill rewards generated]

[Obtain the expertise "Hunting the God's Heir·Red Lotus Seed (Legend)", free attribute points*15]!
[Hunting the Heir of God: Seed of Red Lotus (Legend): You have eliminated the Heir of Destruction and have obtained the Seed of Godkiller.]

[Gain +10 skill slots, +10 skill slots, +2 level II authority slots. Your "strength" attribute increases by 30 points, and for every 1 point of "strength" attribute, you increase your health by 5 points, increase your physical attack by 1 point, and increase your spell attack by 1 point. When you face an enemy with the fate of "Red Lotus", the damage you cause to them increases by an additional 20%, and this damage increase is independent of all multiplication zones. ]

【…】

"...Fuck."

——It is a legendary specialty of the "Hunting God's Heir" series!

In Luo Xiu’s expertise column, he had obtained a “legendary” quality expertise of “Hunting God’s Heir·Lost Seed” after killing the “Dead Birth God’s Heir” in Red Maple City.

And now, killing the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" can actually gain the expertise of "Hunting Heirs of God"... Luo Xiu didn't know whether the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" himself was already the heir of [Red Lotus], or whether he had hunted the heirs of [Red Lotus] like himself, thus allowing him to obtain this expertise through the "panel".

Luo Xiu was more inclined to the former. But it was no longer important. The improvement given by [Hunting God's Heir·Red Lotus Seed] was indeed very sweet, so Luo Xiu confirmed the result of the settlement with peace of mind.

At this point, all the rewards for the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" had been settled. Luo Xiu then closed the panel. The rumbling sound in his ears was already quite clear and quite close.

……

Fafnir City.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle in the city is still going on. Bursts of huge roars can be heard everywhere, as well as the intertwined sounds of battle-hungry roars and shrill wails.

From time to time, the earth was shaken violently. The terrifying light waves containing different spiritual roots exploded and dissipated wildly around. Every moment, people lost their lives due to this tragic war.

When Luo Xiu was rushing to Albert to meet him, he also encountered several teams of Black Fangs and Fang Heads. He directly killed several of them, while more Black Fangs and Fang Heads fled in embarrassment.

He also met several clergymen and knights from the border court, and heard from them the real-time situation of the siege battle again.

Outside the city of Fafnir, the Winter Knights led by "Winter General" Lansas and the legions of the Snowd Expeditionary Force are engaged in a fierce battle with the executioner of [Red Lotus], the "alien demon" Barkkad Frederick.

The executioner of Red Lotus seemed to have taken advantage of the terrain. The various dragons and monsters under his control continued to pour into the battlefield, but Lansas and his legion were still able to resist him.

Hubert's ability was not suitable for such a large-scale battle, so he and the Adventers of the [Advent Legion] first attacked the city, but soon they encountered the third Executioner - Samantha Carter, the "Nightmare Witch" with the fifth destiny of [Nothingness], and engaged in a fierce battle with her.

A clergyman brought back news to Luo Xiu, saying that the "Holy Deacon" Hubert seemed to have disappeared shortly after encountering the Witch of Nothingness, and the Witch of Nothingness also disappeared with him. No one knew where they went.

Luo Xiu received the news.

He had no time to care about Hubert for the time being, because he knew that the power of the "Nightmare Witch" was not enough to kill Hubert now - Hubert would not be in danger of life. It was just that finding their current location... that might be a bit troublesome.

While thinking about this, Luo Xiu rode on Pegasus and galloped towards the nearest "Thunder General" Albert.

In Luo Xiu's eyes - outside the rows of houses in front of him, the deep red and gray light mists had already intertwined and turned into pieces of flickering and mottled light.

It's almost there.

At the place where crimson light was constantly erupting and emitting a fiery breath, "Thunder General" Albert was fighting fiercely with another executioner, "Elemental Bishop" Euan Burroughs.

The intensity of the battle over there seemed to be unprecedentedly high. Rows of houses on the main street of Fafnir City had been destroyed, and the civilians who originally lived in that area had already begun to flee in panic.

But they soon encountered the Supreme Knights who had just cleared out the Dark Army. Most of the civilians were gathered and guarded in an area far away from the central battlefield.

Luo Xiu was riding on the "Golden Pegasus". When he was about to turn a corner, he saw a wounded throne knight who had just withdrawn from the central battlefield.

That was an old acquaintance, "Throne Knight" Frosa, who had followed General Albert to fight here. His black armor was now in pieces, revealing his body covered in scale armor, which was also covered with burn marks.

Frosa also saw the "Bishop" Luo Xiu from afar, so he temporarily changed the retreat route and headed towards the bishop.

"Bishop...Your Excellency!"

When he staggered to Luo Xiu's front, before he could even salute, a weak, hoarse voice came out from under his helmet:

"I beg your pardon for not being able to greet you calmly... Bishop."

"We were ambushed..."

"General Albert...is surrounded!"
