Chapter 160 The Millennium Blood Sacrifice
"You... How could you be so ruthless?"
Chu Qianqiu carefully observed as he took hold of the fresh, beating heart, his expression filled with shock.
Humo quickly supported Tang Zhao, who almost fell, and nervously looked in Chu Qianqiu's direction before finally speaking.
"Brother Qianqiu, be careful, this heart is not a joke!"
"Don't mess around!"
Staring at Chu Qianqiu's expression, Humo's heart was pounding in his throat.
Seeing the other person so nervous, Chu Qianqiu became even more curious, feeling that the other person might be exaggerating.
"What's wrong? I haven't done anything yet, why are you so nervous?"
"By the way, can I squeeze it?"
He suddenly said, wanting to squeeze the heart.
Just as Humo was about to stop him, he heard a scream from the Fourth Prince next to him, clearly in extreme pain.
"Don't touch it anymore!"
"Now that the Fourth Prince has just used a secret technique and is extremely weak, you will kill him if you do that!"
"Oh, sorry, I didn't know."
After squeezing it a little, seeing the miserable state of the Fourth Prince, Chu Qianqiu felt a palpitation.
He didn't expect that this was indeed the other person's heart, and he had taken it out.
But if a person's heart is taken out, how can they still live?
"It's okay, Brother Chu... You can play with it as you like."
"I will recover soon, you don't need to worry about me."
Tang Zhao, whose face had already turned pale, pretended to be fine at this moment, which made people feel sorry for him.
He struggled to stand up, took a few deep breaths, and after a few minutes, his expression improved a lot.
"Now, integrate this heart with your own body."
"After integrating with my heart, you will have two lives and gain other benefits as well."
Pointing to his own heart with his finger, Tang Zhao began to instruct Chu Qianqiu on how to integrate the heart.
Chu Qianqiu was a bit cautious, but Xiao Hong confirmed beside him that there was no problem with the heart, so he finally did it with peace of mind.
After a while, under the stimulation of spiritual power, the heart entered his body.
In an instant, an extremely powerful vitality spread through his limbs and bones, and he could clearly feel that he now possessed two lives.
Not only that, even his current strength was skyrocketing and rapidly improving.
A few seconds ago, Chu Qianqiu was still a cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul realm, but a few seconds later, he had actually reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul realm.
And this change continued, continuously bringing him surprises.
"Early stage of Nascent Soul realm... Mid-stage of Nascent Soul realm... Late stage of Nascent Soul realm... Peak!"
"I actually reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm?"
In disbelief, Chu Qianqiu looked at his body, which had experienced a tremendous increase in strength.
He didn't expect that Tang Zhao's secret technique could not only give him an extra life, but also instantly transmit power.
"Is this the pinnacle skill of your Sunrising Empire, the top-level technique your father taught you?"
After sensing the changes in his own body, Chu Qianqiu curiously asked.
"Of course not. My father's technique is even more aggressive and domineering than this."
"The imperial family's ultimate skill of our Sunrising Empire is the Savage Tyrant Primordial Art, a Half-Step Heavenly Rank technique with extremely strong offensive capabilities."
"The Seven Star Life Extension Art that I have learned is a Profound Grade lower-tier technique, which was taught to me by my mother."
"My mother was the legitimate wife and also an exceptionally talented cultivator, so I have achieved my current level of cultivation thanks to her."
"However, shortly after she taught me this technique, my mother died hastily."
At this point, Tang Zhao, weakened, still had the strength to clench his fists, appearing very angry.
Chu Qianqiu sensed his emotions and asked about the cause of his mother's death, receiving an expected answer.
"My mother used this technique to extend my father's lifespan."
"Yes, this technique can not only sacrifice one's own life for others, but also grant longevity to others."
"At that time, my father was on the verge of death and chose to sacrifice my mother's life to extend his own. He survived."
"He became an old immortal who couldn't transcend tribulation and obtain a longer lifespan. Instead, he relied on various sinister methods to prolong his life, causing harm to many people. My mother died prematurely because of this."
"My father had countless wives and concubines throughout his life, but few women by his side could live for more than ten years. Apart from my mother sacrificing her life, the others eventually died due to a strange evil technique he practiced."
"This evil technique can temporarily enhance one's lifespan by consuming the essence and blood of others. It can be said to be quite sinister."
"Since then, the people of the Sunrising Empire have never seen the king attend court, only endless taxation and hidden bloodsucking demons beneath the surface prosperity."
"Recently, my father's aging has worsened, perhaps due to the backlash of the evil technique. He can't hold on much longer."
"And at the last moment, he actually wants to mobilize troops to march west and wage war against the even more powerful Falling Star Empire."
"In fact, in this campaign, my father has given orders that whoever achieves the most outstanding merits and kills the most enemies among us princes will be crowned the new king. That's why my brothers are so excited."
"But besides that, my father has another intention."
"He wants to collect a large amount of fresh blood in this campaign to satisfy his inner desires."
"The ordinary amount of blood can no longer satisfy the greed of his evil technique. He has reached the brink of collapse."
"Now, he has secretly entrusted my brothers with a Law Weapon. This Law Weapon can collect a large amount of blood from the wounded on the battlefield and quickly kill the heavily injured. I found out about this through various investigations."
"So, once this war breaks out, it won't be as simple as it seems on the surface. At that time, it may be difficult to distinguish friend from foe."
"All the soldiers present, whether on our side or the enemy's, as long as they bleed and are injured, they will become potential prey for that bloodthirsty Law Weapon."
"Brother Chu, if you are really willing to help me, please be careful of this evil Law Weapon and don't let it ambush you."
"Try to shed as little fresh blood as possible in battles against the strong warriors of the Falling Star Empire, otherwise things will become slightly troublesome."
"Although the Law Weapon won't immediately affect you, it will continuously weaken your combat power, which will ultimately be unpleasant."
...
At this point, it was evident that Tang Zhao harbored an intense hatred towards his father's cruelty and corruption.
He hated his father for killing his once beloved wife, his mother, who had shared joys and sorrows with him, just to survive.
And he hated his father for practicing evil techniques at all costs to prolong his life, ultimately becoming a follower of the dark path.
On the battlefield, while the soldiers were still fighting bloodily for the empire, they were unaware that behind them stood their most loyal emperor, who also sought to take their lives.
