After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 254 Boom!
The land beyond the mountains is scorching hot.

The migrating tribesmen were still trudging through the mountains and fields, their animal skin bags still bulging with contents.

"Chieftain, why are we migrating separately? Where have the other tribesmen migrated to?"

In the mountains, Lin Mu cautiously asked the approaching centurion, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

The tribe, numbering 30,000, was divided into dozens of groups that migrated, each following a different route.

No one understood why.

"You've been given orders from above, so just obey them, and you'll get your share of the benefits."

The centurion glared at Lin Mu, then looked at the crowd and said, "Have you all forgotten the clan leader's instructions?"

All members of my Yanglin tribe must obey the orders of our superiors. Since you are tired, rest where you are..."

The centurion berated the crowd. Although he didn't understand the chieftain's arrangements, he simply obeyed.

The higher authorities have also made a promise that any clansmen who go missing, die, or are injured during the migration will receive compensation.

If you do well, there will be a reward.

As soon as the centurion finished speaking, a whooshing sound came from the sky, and everyone looked up.

To the southeast, on the horizon visible to the naked eye, a whirlwind seemed to be rushing in, moving with lightning speed, sweeping across the mountains and fields.

Even though the gale didn't pass near them, the group was still scattered and battered by the storm that swept up the hillsides.

"Captain!"

The group immediately panicked.

The centurion got up from the ground and suddenly remembered what the clan chief Lin Zhong had said.

"Throw everything away and run!"

……

In the sky, every time Yu Cheng flapped his wings, it stirred up a raging storm.

If it weren't for the four juniors following behind, he would have sped up long ago.

When they approached within three thousand miles of the Blazing Flame Clan's territory, those who stood high in the sky overlooking the mountains and fields naturally saw a migrating caravan in the mountains.

And as it sped across the sky, its sharp eyes reflected several teams traversing the mountains and fields.

The group flew very fast, and as they traversed mountains and valleys, they saw a large array of colorful clouds shimmering among the peaks.

There was no way around it; the mountains were lush with greenery, and this colorful land stood out too much.

As Yu Cheng opened and closed his eyes, the image of the witch array was reflected in them.

Through the jade slip given by the high priest, he had figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

When the Shepherd Xuan Chi inspected the northern frontier, he learned that a new chieftain had been established there, and that the chieftain possessed the finest sacrificial offerings.

Therefore, the hunting envoy Yu Ling came to capture the sacrificial offerings, but did not return for a long time.

Xuan Chi was ordered to come and inspect, and after some investigation, he finally confirmed that Yu Ling had been killed by this Bo tribe.

Therefore, since the clan was able to kill Yu Ling, who was at the peak of the Divine Realm, the Great Priest sent Xuan Chi with a fifth-tier witch artifact to find the four Yu Bo who had entered the Giant Mountain to capture the sacrificial offering.

"So it was a witchcraft formation. No wonder Yu Ling was defeated."

Looking towards the direction of the Blazing Flame Clan's territory from afar, Yu Cheng finally understood how Yu Ling had died.

The formations of Yongyi were already weak, and the lack of formation masters in each generation has led to their severe decline.

A powerful formation can indeed enable martial artists to fight beyond their level.

"How dare you! You think you have the strength to contend with our clan just because you were able to kill one of our fourth-tier hunter priests? Ignorance is bliss!"

The hunter priests following Yu Cheng remained silent; in fact, they were still not quite sure what had happened.

Within the tribe, their only task was to capture sacrificial offerings as instructed by the high priest; they did almost nothing else.

Soon, as they got closer, the appearance of the witch formation came into full view.

An inverted, multicolored bowl, within which five layers of spiritual light intertwine, emanating clusters of rosy glow.

Yu Cheng saw the remaining ruins around the clan's territory, and then looked at the empty place. He thought of the group that appeared in the mountains when he came over, which all seemed to have their backs to the direction of the great formation.

Knowing that killing his Holy Envoy clan would enrage them, he deliberately used himself as bait to lure his clan away.
Based on this formation alone?

Yu Cheng scoffed at the naivety of the human race.

He wanted offerings, not ants.

He sometimes doesn't even bother to crush ants that fall at his feet.

……

Clan Land Witch Formation.

The moment he noticed the black dot in the sky, Shen Can immediately crawled out through the hole in the ground beneath the witch array.

He waited for a long time, but the Holy Envoy Clan did not arrive. He had just completed the final repairs and upgrades to the great formation.

Oh, here he is!
It is said that it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

I've hit the jackpot again.

After being repaired and upgraded, the large formation shrank from its original ten-mile radius to a three-mile radius.

Although it has shrunk in size, it is still full of essence, and has been upgraded from the fourth tier to the near fifth tier.

Of course, even a fifth-tier martial artist couldn't withstand more than a few blows.

However, if it were a fourth-tier attacker, it would require more time and effort.

The three clones were busy swallowing the precious pills, and the rich vitality was like sweet dew, instantly filling their withered bodies.

From a withered little clone, it suddenly transformed into a vibrant and superior offering, its intense vitality still undeniable even when hidden in a coffin.

Yu Cheng landed outside the witch formation with four clansmen, sensing the fluctuations emanating from the formation, and finally determined that the fluctuations of the witch formation in front of them were between the fourth and fifth levels.

"The High Priest is indeed mature and prudent!"

Suddenly, Yu Cheng spoke.

These seemingly random words surprised Yu Qing and the others.

Where did this come from? They've already left their clan's territory; there's no need for them to fawn over the High Priest like this.

Before the four people behind him could react, Yu Cheng said to himself, "Stand back a bit, so that the formation's fluctuations don't affect you. Yu Mao and Yu Fei, you two prepare to take the offerings back."

Suddenly, a claw shot out towards the witch formation.

Boom!

Shen Can, who had escaped, was now fully focused on controlling his three-headed clone.

He used the coffin that his clone brought with him as protection, thinking he would go out and communicate with the Holy Envoy Clan.

Unexpectedly, they were very decisive.

It came at you with a claw attack right away.

that's nice!

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the upgraded Five Elements Witchcraft Array thundered, and a claw over ten zhang in size descended from the top of the array, which resembled an inverted bowl.
The claw was grayish-black, with clearly visible patterns, and cyan runes glowed on its surface.
Clang! The Tired Mountain Cauldron, which was suspended above the witch array and suppressing the enemy, emitted a buzzing sound.

In just one breath, several claws pierced through the witch array.

Click!

The entire area above the witch formation was torn apart by claws, and the Weary Mountain Cauldron let out a mournful cry as it flew out horizontally.

The violent energy falling from the sky made the clone feel the impending doom, and it crashed downwards with the coffin on its back.

The witch formation also completely collapsed, and the burst of energy swept in all directions, forcing Yu Qing and the other warriors to retreat.

"Come out, I can smell your scent. You are indeed the finest offering!" At the same time as his clone fell, Yu Cheng ignored the bursting energy, smashing through the energy as he began to fall, while extending his claws.

But at that very moment, he suddenly trembled inexplicably. His divine sense swept across the area below and he suddenly sensed a blazing energy hidden beneath.

As the witch formation shattered, its base exploded continuously, and the Five Elements Dragon Wall, which concealed the aura of the beast core, was also partially shattered, bursting out clusters of multicolored light, and the aura of the beast core naturally dissipated.

At the critical moment, Yu Cheng spread his wings and flew high, while spitting out a magical artifact that resembled a jade disc.

Rumble!
Beneath the ancestral temple of the original clan, a vast energy burst forth from the ground.

In that instant, flames shot into the sky, and the earth within a radius of a hundred miles trembled violently.

Wide cracks spread in all directions from where the flames erupted, like a bottomless abyss that devoured everything on the earth.

The soaring flames engulfed the energy splashed from the shattered magic array, rising five thousand feet into the sky and affecting the surrounding area within a thousand feet.

Amidst the flames, a streak of blue light flew across dozens of miles like a streak of light.

Before the four streaks of azure light could react, they were instantly engulfed by the soaring flames.

Before Yu Fei and the other two late-stage Divine Realm warriors could even let out a scream, they were completely vaporized in the flames.

The remaining Yu Qing and his companion were swept away by the energy wave and reduced to mangled remains. They were passively propelled more than ten miles away by the energy and crashed into the depths of the earth.

At this moment, heaven and earth fell silent.

Dozens of miles away, Shen Can was originally observing from an inconspicuous hillside when he was swept down the hillside by the incoming energy.

After regaining his footing, Shen Can looked over again. In the direction of the clan's territory, the soaring fire dragon seemed to be frozen in the sky.

Before the arrival of the Holy Envoy Clan, he devised many methods to lure the warriors of the Holy Envoy Clan into his trap.

But none of them were used.

The Holy Envoy Clan is too straightforward; they're clearly birds destined for great things.

Unfortunately, Shen Can wasn't quite sure how many feet away the old bird, which had lost a lot of feathers, was from the beast core when the explosion occurred.

Under the impact of the energy from the shattered witch array, the clone immediately lost its ability to perceive. It only saw the old bird coming down from the broken part of the witch array, which directly triggered the explosion of the beast core.

Given the circumstances, there was no other way but to detonate it.

The Five Elements Dragon Wall is partially broken, and the aura of the beast core has probably been leaked. If it is not detonated, the opportunity will be lost.

Fortunately, Shen Can, who was hiding in the hillside, saw a streak of light fly out.

As for the other streaks of light, none were seen; they may have been obscured by the energy that surged upwards at the same time.

However, thinking about it, the fourth-tier Saint Envoy warriors who came with them were not much better. Although they were further away from the Beast Core than the old bird, their strength was only at the fourth tier.

……

Dozens of miles from their territory, Yu Cheng crawled out from the depths of the earth.
His wings were twisted into a ball, his beak was broken off, his body was covered with steaming holes, his abdomen and body were blown open, and one of his eyes was emitting red fire and blood was flowing out.

The already frail and withered body had now turned into rotten flesh.

Its remaining eyes were bloodshot, and its severed mouth opened and closed without uttering a sound.

At this moment, words were insufficient to describe the rage in his heart. His trembling body manifested clusters of cyan wind talismans, which then evolved into hundreds of storms that swept in all directions.

Rumble!
The wind, sharp as a knife, tore through the mountains and forests, shredding everything in its path.

After venting his anger, Yu Cheng suddenly remembered his magical artifact. As he chanted the incantation, the jade disc flew rapidly from several miles away, transforming into a beam of light that landed on him and protected him.

He took three fourth-tier precious herbs from his sachet and put them in his mouth to chew. The broken beak looked a bit awkward, so Yu Cheng summoned a gust of wind to fall down and cut off the broken beak.

After the precious medicine was ingested, the injured body finally received some nourishment. A bluish light appeared on the ruptured body, and the blood stopped flowing.
However, to recover from such severe injuries, only a fifth-grade precious medicine is needed.

After stabilizing his breathing slightly, he collected the blood he had spilled back into his body.

Fifth-tier resources are hard to find, and if the aura in one's possession is leaked, it can easily attract unnecessary trouble.

For example, if Lu Wu, a fifth-tier being from the Giant Mountain Range, notices that he is injured, he certainly wouldn't hesitate to come and eat him.

Yu Cheng soared into the air and headed towards the explosion site. Although his wings were twisted into a ball, as a fifth-level martial artist, he already possessed the ability to fly.

At this moment, at the epicenter of the explosion, the crimson-gold flames frozen in the sky began to collapse inch by inch.

Smoke and dust filled the air for miles around.

Through the smoke and dust, Yu Cheng saw a large crater radiating heat.

The soil and rocks had melted into colorful magma in the scorching heat, pouring into the large cracks in all directions from the center of the pit, like fire dragons moving through the cracks.

Wherever it passed, flames rose up continuously.

After wandering around, Yu Cheng found Yu Qing and Yu Chi, but Yu Chi had become a burnt bird with mangled remains.

Although Yu Qing still had some breathing fluctuations, he had lost his wings, and whether he could survive depended on his own fate.

The entire Holy Envoy Clan had a total of seven peak Divine Realm experts, and now only this one, half-dead, remains.

He grabbed the two mutilated bodies and took to the air, beginning to circle the clan's territory.

He remembered that when he arrived, there were ants migrating.

Before he came, he didn't care about ants, but now he only wants to kill.

kill!kill!kill!

Those damned humans, resorting to such despicable and vile tactics.

What exploded must have been a beast core. A beast core that could blast him into such a state must be at least a fifth-tier one.

Did he think that a mere fifth-tier beast core could kill him, a fifth-tier martial artist?
Innocent!

Fifth-tier wild beasts are rare, and beast cores are not something that can be obtained easily. He didn't believe that this human tribe had a second one.

The fact that they used beast cores to bomb him shows that the human race had no other backup plans. If the formation was feasible, they wouldn't have used beast cores.

Besides, he's been fooled once, why would he fall for it a second time!

He didn't kill him with the bomb. Next, he's going to dig out every single person in the tribe and then strangle them to death.

However, after Yu Cheng took to the air and searched the mountains and fields, he found that none of the migrating figures he had seen when he arrived were to be found now.

Although the explosion of the beast core caused turmoil within a hundred miles, the sound traveled in all directions for two thousand miles.

Upon hearing the commotion, the migrating caravans dropped their belongings and ran away.

Of course, two legs can't outrun wings.

Shen Can could not predict the outcome of the battle beforehand, so he issued an order to the people who were to relocate.

Upon hearing the noise, they scattered and ran.

The key is to avoid crowds!
After running a distance, they hid in the water, in caves, or in the jungle.

Then, pray for the blessings of our ancestors.

On his journey to find the Blazing Flame Clan, Yu Cheng saw a discarded animal skin bag, a wooden cart, and other items.

Enraged, he unleashed a gust of wind that pulverized everything into dust.

Yu Cheng, who had flown past, flew back once more, his expression gloomy as he surveyed the ground he had wrecked into ruins.

Later, in another mountain area, he found a scattered wooden cart and animal skin bag.

The wind blades ripped open the animal skin bag, spilling out a large amount of soil, rocks, low-grade ores, and provisions mixed together.

The mottled colors of the earth and stones were so glaring to Yu Cheng at that moment.

"puff!"

A few breaths later, Yu Cheng's chest heaved violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The severed mouth, gushing blood and foam, opened and closed, uttering a single word through gritted teeth.

"it is good!"
