Chapter 1923: The Realm of Sacrifice 2

Editor: Henyee Translations

At a certain moment, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly felt his feet touch solid ground. The sound of his footsteps echoed through the vast space as he arrived within another dimension.

Upon landing, Jiang Chengxuan heard the gentle sound of flowing water. The golden light of the Eternal Manifest Scripture on his body shimmered, reflecting ripples like stars before his eyes. Only then did he see clearly: this place was a lake, made of an unknown liquid. He was standing alone at the center of a raised platform on the lake’s surface.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound burst forth, and countless stars lit up the deep dark sky above, like the clearest night, reflecting millions of stars onto the black lake water. This sight stunned Jiang Chengxuan. This should have been the violent source of mutation, yet here it was calm, like a sacred land untouched by the slightest trace of mutation’s eerie aura.

Had he come to the wrong place? For a moment, Jiang Chengxuan hesitated, wondering if fate had led him astray. But soon he dismissed the doubt. With the power of a Golden Immortal, his perception burst forth like a tide, forming an invisible breeze that swept through all directions. The previously still lake began to ripple and churn under his probing.

Yet, the results left Jiang Chengxuan unsatisfied. He frowned and surveyed the surroundings, overwhelmed by a disorienting sensation. Despite his ability to perceive the boundaries of ancient realms, he could not find any edges to this space. All he saw was an endless repetition of the same scene.

“It seems I’m not mistaken,” Jiang Chengxuan muttered. Though the perception revealed nothing, it only confirmed that he had not found the wrong place. Undoubtedly, this confusing realm and the mutation power originated from the same source—and the power was even stronger.

With a sudden inspiration, Jiang Chengxuan took a step, then another, toward the edge of the platform. At the shimmering lake surface, he bent down to gaze into the reflection. What he saw startled him, a chill running through his heart. The reflection was not his own! Instead, it was the image of a stranger, gazing back at him with burning eyes.

The reflection’s face twisted into a strange smile. The lake beneath Jiang Chengxuan began to boil. Crimson colors and chaotic energies surged up, creating a loud commotion. In an instant, the reflection flipped out of the water, taking solid form on the lake’s surface.

The figure wore an ancient, wide robe resembling a sacrificial garment. Crimson patterns painted archaic murals, filled with history and mystery, matching the figure’s aura. His hair was disheveled, his face pale and almost lifeless—if not for the subtle flicker in his eyes, he might have been mistaken for a corpse.

“Who are you? Why are you here?” After a moment of surprise, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes hardened as he asked sternly, without rushing to attack.

In response, the mysterious man coldly said, “I am the Sacrificer. This is the Realm of Sacrifice.”

Those few words struck Jiang Chengxuan like thunder, a flash of understanding crossing his mind.

“Are you the Ancient Golden Immortal? You set this deep space trap, hoping through sacrificial rites to be reborn?!”

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan’s voice thundered across the lake, sending chills through the air.

Sacrifice… Rebirth… In the cultivation world, this was an age-old pursuit. Ultimately, all cultivators sought longevity.

But rebirth by sacrifice, though many claimed to have mastered it, had almost never succeeded in history. Those who did succeed either revived only their mortal body as an immortal corpse, were forcibly possessed by others, or died suddenly after rebirth.

Jiang Chengxuan did not need such a method himself, but he had studied many such ancient texts, for he had nearly lived a second life. Not by reincarnation, but from a fateful battle with the calamity incarnation, he had destroyed his roots, risking death, saved only by a divine pill granted by the system. Since then, he had studied extensively on resurrection.

Thus, seeing this strange figure and hearing his identity, combined with the strange deep space around them, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly understood.

Yet, faced with Jiang Chengxuan’s questions, the strange cultivator no longer replied. Instead, he stared at Jiang Chengxuan with a chilling gaze, like a hunter eyeing prey. Jiang Chengxuan felt another realization dawn—a grim one.

“Fine! I never expected any kindness here. I’m no hospitable guest either.”

Unfazed by that eerie gaze, Jiang Chengxuan smiled faintly. This deep space was full of danger; he had long prepared himself for the risks of this unknown realm. If it had been as calm as before, he would have been the one confused.

“If you want to use me as a sacrifice, you’ll have to have the skill!”

No sooner had he said this than Jiang Chengxuan attacked without hesitation.

“Eternal Manifest Scripture, Sacrifice!”

In an instant, countless golden lights ignited behind him. A Golden Immortal cosmic phenomenon manifested in the void, his late Golden Immortal power erupted, suppressing heaven and earth, sweeping the stars!

Golden suns rose one after another, illuminating the lake. The entire realm was bathed in sacred light, dazzling to the extreme.

Golden Immortal power surged like a torrent from Jiang Chengxuan’s hands, cutting through heaven and earth, stirring a mighty storm!

The Sacrificer’s eyes shrank in alarm. His robe billowed violently as he swept his hands. He unleashed a terrifying aura.

Instead of manifesting a cosmic phenomenon, he controlled the entire space: countless stars lit up the heavens. On the lake surface, thousands of stars shimmered brilliantly.

Endless lake waters rose, twisting into countless water dragons. But they did not attack Jiang Chengxuan; instead, they surged toward the Sacrificer’s own body.

As the water dragons converged, countless twisted vines appeared on the Sacrificer’s body. Stars glittered as they poured into him, causing his aura to shift drastically.

His pale, corpse-like skin turned like colored glaze, his form crystallizing into star dust. The Sacrificer’s Golden Immortal power flared fiercely, rapidly surpassing early Golden Immortal to mid-stage!

Even as the strange lake waters continued to flow into him, his power kept rising!

Clearly, this lake was no ordinary water but a treasure forged from special celestial materials. It served both as a preservation method for the Ancient Golden Immortal’s corpse and a measure to store his power.

This once-deadly silent space turned wildly violent.

Countless crimson forces and chaotic darkness erupted from all directions, slowly enveloping the entire realm.

A terrible storm brewed, swirling the mysterious lake water upward to the Ninth Heaven. A colossal pillar pierced the heavens and earth, shaking the world and bringing down a violent storm.

Crimson lightning thundered, and the aura of destruction gathered.
