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

Chapter 392 The Cornerstone of the Human Race
With a ripping sound, the dragon-headed monster roared in pain, and the body tightly bound to Chi Huo Lu Wu was suddenly released.

The two giant beasts, which had been rolling around on the ground, stopped at this moment.

Red Fire Lu Wu extended its tiger claws, grabbed the body of the dragon-headed monster, and bit down with its fangs, aiming straight for the monster's head.

The dragon-headed monster roared in pain, its aura surging forth from its body. With a flick of its tail, it sent the Crimson Fire Lu Wu tumbling through the air, smashing through several mountains.

As the Crimson Fire Lu Wu flew out, steam billowed from its large mouth, swallowing the flesh and blood of the dragon-headed monster it had bitten off.

Once, it swallowed a piece of a monster's flesh and blood, and its belly was filled with a chilling aura.

Now, it's different.

There's a furnace inside my belly, burning away all the cold and dampness.

The dragon-headed monster that had knocked away Chi Huo Lu Wu dragged its body, baring its fangs and claws, drawing in the gray mist that surged toward Chi Huo Lu Wu.

Blood gushed from the wounds of the dragon-headed monster, mingling with the mist and freezing everything in its path.

Rumble!
Golden flames blazed fiercely around Chi Huo Lu Wu, burning away the incoming gray mist. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a golden sun.

As the sun rose, flames danced, and the frozen forests melted rapidly, giving rise to a ferocious Lu Wu that crashed into the dragon-headed monster.

The dragon-headed monster let out a miserable cry, and as flames exploded from its body, it plummeted to the ground.

Now it finally showed its fear. The dragon head that was drooping on its neck turned around and dragged its body, trying to escape into the depths of the cave.

boom!
Nine dazzling golden lights shone behind Crimson Fire Lu Wu, then transformed into a stream of flames and lashed out, binding the neck of the dragon-headed monster.

With a 'poof' sound, the monstrous head of the dragon-headed monster was split in two by the flames and crashed downwards.

Chi Huo Lu Wu then opened its mouth again, and bursts of flames poured out, burning away all the ice and mist in its path, leaving only the dragon-headed monster with its head and body separated.

Crimson Fire Lu Wu swooped down and landed above the dragon-headed monster. After landing, he used his huge tiger claws to step on the ferocious dragon head, opened his mouth, and pulled the white jade dragon horn off the dragon-headed monster's head.

"So what if you're a monster? You want to be the Dragon King?"

……

oooooooo!
At that moment, the roars of monsters echoed from the depths of the cave, one after another. Looking deeper, one could see an even darker area, spreading outwards like dark clouds.

The spreading dark clouds surged like waves, and on the crimson fire of Lu Wu, there were dozens of fifth-order monsters that he could see.

Within the dark clouds, several sharp eyes gleamed with chilling light.

There are at least three powerful monsters, no weaker than the dragon-headed monster.

More importantly, there was an incredibly powerful pressure emanating from the dark clouds, which inexplicably instilled a sense of fear in Chi Huo Lu Wu.

The churning dark clouds grew even darker, making the underground cave even more gloomy.

Suddenly, the dark clouds parted and surged to both sides, revealing a giant shadow that resembled a black wolf but had a long beak like a bird.

Roar!
The monster let out a long howl, and boundless black light burst forth from the dark clouds, completely dyeing the surrounding caves black.

The surrounding spirits were no longer just trembling; they were collapsing unconscious on the ground in large numbers.

Rumble!
Dark clouds surged like giant waves, and a three-headed monster, no weaker than a dragon-headed demon, swiftly pounced on Crimson Fire Lu Wu.

In an instant, the figure of Chi Huo Lu Wu was swallowed up by the dark clouds.

Seeing that the dark clouds had already collected their spoils, Chi Huo Lu Wu now charged towards the outer edge of the cave with all its might.

Clusters of golden flames burst open, scorching away large swathes of dark clouds.

But the dark clouds are boundless, and no matter how much the golden fire burns, they will be filled in in an instant.

Within the dark clouds, the three-headed monster led dozens of fifth-tier monsters, their breaths gleaming with a chilling light. Their terrifying power shattered the mountains in their path as they pursued Lu Wu and launched their attack.

Golden flames surged around Chi Huo Lu Wu's body, and his nine tails lashed out like heavenly whips, each strike piercing through the dark clouds and shattering the icy chill of the sky.

Nine tails fell in a cycle. The first peak fifth-tier monster to rush forward had its attack shattered by a tiger tail, and then several tiger tails fell in turn, smashing into its body.

The fiery tail, like a whip, struck the monster, causing it to burst into flames and plummet to the ground from mid-air.

After defeating one of the great monsters, Crimson Fire Lu Wu roared to the sky, and an even larger Lu Wu divine form leaped out from his body, leaping onto the back of another great monster and biting it in the mouth.

After roaring, the Crimson Fire Lu Wu spat out a burst of flames from its mouth, which condensed into a small sun in the air, piercing a bloody hole through the last great monster.

After injuring or severely damaging the three-headed monster that had caught up with him, Red Fire Lu Wu took off running for his life with his giant claws.

The bird-beaked wolf-headed monster, riding the dark clouds, opened and closed its enormous mouth, and the surging dark clouds quickly condensed into a sharp beak, piercing through the clouds and striking Chi Huo Lu Wu directly.

As the fleeing Red Fire Lu Wu ran, it suddenly felt a chill run down its spine. Years of experience on the run told it that trouble was brewing.

In an instant, the massive tiger body of the Crimson Fire Lu Wu swayed slightly to one side as it ran.

puff!
Like a sharp bird's beak piercing through the churning clouds amidst giant waves, it stabbed into Chi Huo Lu Wu's buttocks with a hiss.

A loud "Awoo!" rang out from the scene.

Red Fire Rikuo immediately jumped up, soaring into the air with the speed of the wind.

Within the dark clouds, the wolf-headed, bird-beaked monster revealed its entire body. It was a colossal monster nearly two thousand feet in size, its body like a mountain, shrouded in dark clouds that filled the entire underground cavern and sky.

A terrifying aura turned the mountains and vegetation to dust.

A massive claw emerged from the dark clouds and slashed down at Crimson Fire Lu Wu once more.

Instantly, the Crimson Fire Luwu felt a chill run down its spine and its body went cold. Flames immediately burst from its anus, increasing its speed by three times.

With a snap, the claws that descended from within the dark clouds grazed the back of Crimson Fire Lu Wu, leaving several black marks on the scorching tiger's body.

Red Fire Lu Wu's tiger eyes shot out two beams of light as he roared angrily to the sky.

This is outrageous!

Despite its anger, the Crimson Fire Lu Wu was quick to react, its massive body smoothly dodging the constantly falling bird claws.

Later, the Crimson Fire Luwu shrank to the size of a foot, repeatedly leaping out from the bird's claws.

Wherever it passes, forests vanish, rocks pierce the sky, and energy bursts forth.

As the Crimson Fire Lu Wu leaped out from under the bird's claws once more, giant waves formed from dark clouds in all directions swept towards it.

The dark clouds are like a cage, and sharp claws, like prison bars, gleam in all directions.

Upon seeing this, the blood energy of Chi Huo Lu Wu surged, and his entire body burst into flames at that moment, the flickering golden flames making his body appear slightly illusory.

Tiger Escape!

The moment the dark clouds closed in, Crimson Fire Lu Wu burst out of them, his body shooting like a meteor thousands of miles away.

With a "poof," the flames exploded, transforming into the figure of the Crimson Flame Lu Wu, which ran away without stopping.

"Wait until Tiger comes back from sunbathing, then I'll kill you!"

Even though he was covered in wounds from the bird-beaked monster, Chi Huo Lu Wu still refused to admit defeat.

I thought I could withstand the sixth level, but it turned out to be just my illusion; I still hadn't been exposed to enough sunlight.

……

Such a commotion deep within the cave naturally attracted the attention of the alliance warriors who were hunting monsters in the outer area of ​​the cave, and they all left the cave long ago.

Furthermore, sensing the turmoil within the underground cave, which intensified over time, the warriors hunting the monsters directly sent a message to the alliance.

After all, such a powerful fluctuation made everyone's hair stand on end and their scalps tingle, indicating that a great monster had appeared.

When Chi Huo Lu Wu dragged his injured backside out of the cave, his body was covered with black ice shards, and even his tiger whiskers had sagged down into icy strands.

"Back off, there are sixth-tier monsters."

After rushing out, Chi Huo Lu Wu saw the fifth-tier Kui Niu lingering outside the cave and quickly called out to it.

hoohoo!

The suddenly appearing sixth-tier monster did not rush out of the cave, but lingered at the cave's exit, stirring up the dark clouds and letting out roars.

Above the pointed beak are a pair of eyes, deep as a dark pool, giving one the feeling of being unable to see through them, making it impossible to tell whether this spirit is in a clear state or in a state of chaos and disorder.

However, the bird-beaked monster stared at the cave entrance, as if pondering something.

Seeing that the sixth-tier monster hadn't rushed out, Chi Huo Lu Wu breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't know what was going on; it hadn't gone too deep into the cave, so how had it attracted a sixth-tier creature?

One sixth-tier monster was bad enough, but it also brought so many fifth-tier monsters with it, including three peak fifth-tier monsters. If Tiger hadn't sunbathed a while ago and gotten a bit stronger, it really wouldn't have been able to escape.

Afterwards, Crimson Fire Lu Wu entered the underground city to recuperate from his injuries. His repeated escapes and being poked in the buttocks by a sixth-tier monster had left him with a considerable amount of cold energy within him, which he needed to calmly refine away. Upon receiving news of the appearance of a sixth-tier monster, the alliance quickly dispatched its forces to the underground city.

There was a Kui Niu leader who, like Chi Huo Lu Wu, advanced to the late stage of the fifth rank. However, although they advanced together, Chi Huo Lu Wu had an incredible stroke of luck and, in a short period of time, absorbed some of the power of the sun, thus reaching the peak of the fifth rank.

The newly appointed Hall Master of the Military Hall, Yan Jiang, has also arrived. He has already advanced to the mid-stage of the fifth rank.

Besides him, all the Alliance warriors who were among the first to advance to the fifth rank received precious medicines as a reward. Even those who did not advance to the mid-stage of the fifth rank saved a lot of time in the process.

The Ferret Beast King was also invited by Yan Jiang.

There was nothing else to it but to see if I could create an array to trap and kill this sixth-tier monster.

After all, we can't always seek help from temples and shrines for every little thing; what's the point of forming an alliance then?

Besides, the temple is currently in seclusion for spiritual practice and should not be disturbed.

The sixth-tier golden ship was also brought along. It just so happens that there is a sixth-tier defensive formation on this golden ship, which might come in handy.

Theoretically speaking, if they operate properly, these fifth-tier beings are enough to hunt down and kill this sixth-tier monster.

The Ferret Beast King has also advanced to the late stage of the fifth rank, but its aura is still somewhat unstable.

"I haven't reached the level of a sixth-level array master yet, but with the help of the Weaver Girl, we can rely on this sixth-tier golden ship as the main array base to build a trapping and killing array."

Akahira Rikugo lay to the side, expelling the chill from his body while listening to the conversation.

"Alright, once the formation is complete, I'll go lure this sixth-tier monster."

"So what if you have a bird's beak? Even if you do, you shouldn't peck my butt."

……

Shen Can's seclusion this time was quite long. He first refined the witch artifact and then reviewed the supernatural abilities he had previously cultivated.

The powerful fist technique "Suppressing Mountains and Rivers" passed down by the Marquis of Yongshan has been refined and, after this review, evolved into a set of Ten Thousand Beasts Fist, taking the Marquis's technique as a reference and combining it with his own cultivation experience.

In addition, after advancing to the sixth rank this time, Shen Can completely solved the problem of beastification.

However, for the rest of the human alliance, the problem of beastification still plagued them.

He was able to resolve the beast transformation issue thanks to the battle body technique he cultivated.

Currently, the cultivation techniques practiced by human martial artists are all inextricably linked to observing wild beasts.

It seems that the warriors of the Human Alliance who want to solve their beastification problem and successfully advance to the sixth rank still need to follow his path.

He pondered whether to create a comprehensive guide to all beasts, compiling the various divine forms of wild beasts into one place, so that alliance warriors could easily select suitable divine forms to cultivate and strengthen their own origins.

Furthermore, to completely solve the problem of beastification, we must start with the basics of martial arts cultivation. Low-level human martial artists find it difficult to comprehend powerful beast forms; they must begin with the divine forms of ordinary wild beasts.

He currently only has a preliminary idea in mind and needs to develop it further.

However, Shen Can didn't intend to do this himself. He went to the Torch Tower of the Witch Academy and summoned the wizards inside.

He shared his ideas with these wizards. Wizards have stronger spiritual senses than martial artists of the same level, allowing them to better capture the essence of wild beasts and imprint it with their spiritual senses.

Shen Can was responsible for creating the powerful divine forms in this encyclopedia of all beasts, but the task of capturing and imprinting a large number of ordinary wild beast divine forms was still left to the wizards within the alliance.

In fact, at the very beginning, there was no need to use the powerful divine forms in the Beast Compendium, as the alliance already kept wild beasts that were compatible with the Five Skills Cultivation.

What the wizards need to do is combine the five skills and the beast battle body.

It should be noted that more than a hundred years have passed since it was discovered on the volcano of the Blazing Flame Tribe that cultivating a different kind of Wild Beast Battle Body could dissolve some of the beast markings that appeared in the human race's origin.

Over the past hundred years, from the Blazing Flame to the Alliance, the corresponding martial arts training records have never been interrupted.

These are firsthand cultivation materials.

Now, the task is to use these cultivation materials to develop a method that enhances the fundamental nature of the human race.

This matter was handed over to his disciple, Huo Yun. Over the years, his grand-disciples have surpassed their master in ability, overshadowing his brilliance.

In reality, Shen Can's disciples are the backbone. As the founders of many important traditions in the current alliance, the alliance's inheritance and development are still inseparable from them.

Shen Can was very relieved to entrust the matter to Huo Yun, as Huo Yun was the one who led the team to start recording the cultivation of the warriors of the Blazing Flame Clan back then, and Huo Yun was full of experience.

We have data, we have wild beasts, and now the alliance has many cultivators, making it even more convenient to conduct experiments.

……

After returning from the Tower of Fire, Shen Can took a look at his broken spear.

Under the baptism of the sun's power, the Broken Edge Spear transformed from bronze to gold.

Clang!
When it sensed Shen Can's appearance outside the workshop, the Broken Spear, which was drawing power from the sun in the middle of the blast furnace, emitted a clanging sound.

Then, like a bolt of golden lightning piercing the sky, the spear pierced straight into Shen Can's hand, emitting a high-pitched metallic clang.

At this moment, the Broken Spear, forged by the true fire derived from the power of the sun, completely merged with the five elemental spiritual objects that Shen Can had put in.

The five elements flowed within its spear, endlessly regenerating, and its aura reached the critical level of the sixth rank.

The difference lies with Shen Can.

With that, Shen Can flicked his finger, and a drop of precious blood disappeared into the broken spear.

Blood patterns spread out from the golden spear, outlining interwoven Five Elements witchcraft, and beast patterns such as the Golden Crow, Kui Niu, and Lu Wu also appeared.

In an instant, the fighting spirit within the Broken Spear soared to the sky, breaking through to the sixth level in one fell swoop.

A clanging and buzzing sound echoed through the mountains. The broken spear transformed into a golden light, which then circled around Shen Can, as if it were a child being affectionate with him.

Within the broken spear, a five-colored spiritual energy is being nurtured, and before long, a spirit will be born.

Thus, Shen Can now possessed four sixth-tier magical artifacts, but the quality of the Ink Mountain Cauldron and the True Water Gourd was only average.

Afterwards, Shen Can took a stroll through the mountains and saw the Alliance Array Masters leading the craftsmen, systematically replacing the array base with a higher-level one.

Everything is safe and sound.

The speed at which the formation is upgraded actually depends on the speed at which the high-level formation base is forged. At this rate, it will take about ten years to upgrade the first level of the Star Formation to the sixth-grade high-quality level.

With a sixth-tier superior-grade grand formation and the Illustrated Compendium of Myriad Beasts, the Human Alliance's legacy for generations to come has been laid in its initial stages.

While investigating the formation, Shen Can also learned about the appearance of a sixth-order monster in the cave. He also affirmed the idea of ​​using the formation to annihilate the sixth-order monster.

……

Inside the array behind the Temple of Heroes.

Streaks of light flew in from afar and disappeared into the formation.

Among those who arrived were the Five-Colored Deer, the Little Dragon Fish, the leader of the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit Clan, the leader of the Little Spirit Clan, and hundreds of fourth-tier Great Witches led by Yan Ling.

“Temple”.

After everyone entered, they all bowed to Shen Can.

When they saw Shen Can looking solemnly at the tree roots in front of him, everyone also looked at the sacred tree of the Mujiang clan, which was now just a huge tree root.

The tree roots are as large as mountains, with countless rootlets.

Shen Can had visited this tree several times before, when it was at the fifth level, hoping to find the spiritual energy hidden within it.

In the past, the Mujiang tribe used this tree to worship the spirits of the human race and even used the human race as a sacrifice in order to nurture the spirituality of the tree.

Shen Can naturally had no intention of treating a spiritual plant that had devoured the blood and bones of countless humans well.

If it weren't for the fact that this tree could branch out in countless ways and enter various departments to serve as sacrificial spirits, which he had his eye on, this old tree root would have been burned as firewood long ago.

After a long while, all those who had sensed the summons arrived.

Shen Can turned around and looked at the many figures.

"I summoned you here to get you to use your brains and see how to build a Sacred Tree that belongs to my human alliance."

My requirement is that the Sacred Tree should have the Temple of Heroes of my Alliance as its main trunk, with branches that can take root underground in the ancestral temples of human tribes in various places.

This sacred tree must be able to support the sacrificial spirits of my human race, so that the sacrificial spirits can travel between the Temple of Heroes of my human alliance and the ancestral temples of various tribes through the sacred tree.

Whenever a human tribe faces danger, initiating a sacrificial ceremony allows the Temple of Heroes to sense it, and the spirits residing there can descend upon the endangered tribe via the Sacrificial Tree.
