Chapter 324 – The Fall of Nangong Li!

“Beast God, you intend to use me as a Blood Offering?!”

Trapped within the colossal palm, Nangong Li looked down in disbelief, desperately twisting his body in an attempt to break free from the edge of the grasp.

But it was utterly futile.

The giant palm was imbued with the Blood Law. He could clearly feel his strength fading, the Star Power within him being relentlessly drained from his body, surging like a torrential flood directly into the Altar!

This was no empty threat!

The Beast God truly intended to make him a Blood Offering!!

“Impossible…”

Nangong Li’s pupils contracted to needle points, completely unable to believe the scene before him.

For so long,

he had sacrificed the most for the Beast God Sect.

Yet now, he had come to such an end.

How could he, the leader of the Beast God Sect, accept this?

“No, no, no…”

In a daze, Nangong Li looked up at the blood-red Altar, his voice trembling as he pleaded, “I have done so much for the Divine Sect, you cannot treat me like this… Xiao Jiu can still be of use!

If you desire those Blood Offerings, I will go find them for you now, I won’t rest… I won’t rest…”

Panic surged over him like a tide, and Nangong Li was so terrified he became incoherent.

His words came out fragmented…

Yet despite his pleas, the pressure from the palm only intensified!

Crack—

The sound of bones shattering echoed incessantly.

“Enough, Xiao Jiu. There’s no need to say more.”

The Beast God sneered coldly, indifferently observing Nangong Li’s desperate struggles.

The giant palm tightened.

Like a beast clamping down on its prey.

Boom! Boom!

Torrents of crimson blood erupted from Nangong Li’s body, channeled through the palm’s meridians, continuously feeding into the Altar.

Scarlet bloodlines spread along the inscriptions as eerie winds swept through.

The Canyon resembled the Netherworld.

“Xiao Jiu, offering your flesh to me is an honor for you lower realm ants.”

The Beast God gripped Nangong Li firmly, promising, “Go in peace!

From this day forward, the Beast God Sect will remember your glory. Once I break free from this seal, I will personally erect a shrine in your name!

For generations to come, disciples of the Divine Sect will remember the name Nangong Li!”

As he spoke, several dark chains materialized in the void, like Netherworld envoys come to claim a soul, piercing directly into Nangong Li’s body.

Thud!

The chains sank into flesh, extracting soul force with even greater brutality.

Vast amounts of soul force were wrung from Nangong Li, silver essence spurting out.

“No!”

Nangong Li roared with unwilling fury, writhing in agony and shaking the chains until cracks appeared, the grating sound of metal clashing filling the air.

He refused to await death passively!

Cultivating to the Celestial Venerable Realm had been immensely difficult, consuming countless rare treasures. To become the leader of the Beast God Sect, he had even stepped over the corpses of countless fellow disciples!

All his years of accumulation…

Every bit of it was peerless in this world!

Who could accept such an end?!

“You wish!”

In an instant—

Brilliant light erupted!

“Even in death, I won’t let you succeed!”

A desperate madness flashed in Nangong Li’s eyes as he struggled fiercely against his bindings, forcibly shattering one of the soul-hooking chains.

Crack!

The giant palm was forced open a sliver.

Though not enough to escape, it gave Nangong Li a glimpse of hope.

The Beast God was currently bound within the Altar, unable to leave the Canyon.

If he could just flee the gorge, he could escape this demonic grasp. Then, he could find a way to destroy the Altar, perhaps even ally with the Exploding Heavens Gang—there was still a chance to turn the tide!!

“Hmph, you don’t know what’s good for you!”The Beast God watched Nangong Li’s struggles with cold indifference, showing no surprise as he slowly increased the pressure of his massive palm:

“Do you think this is over?”

As he spoke, the gaps between his fingers closed once more.

One soul chain snapped.

Then dozens more multiplied in its place!

Nangong Li’s collarbones, ribs, and the sturdy bones of his limbs were all pierced through, suspending him like butchered meat in a slaughterhouse. Fresh blood streamed from his body, splattering across the canyon floor.

His skin, tendons, and flesh were withering at an alarming rate…

“Little Jiu, had you been at your peak, even in my current state I might not have been able to handle you,”

the Beast God said coldly, delightedly absorbing the energy from Nangong Li’s body while slowly dragging him closer. “But now with your damaged origin and severe injuries, how could you possibly stand against me!?”

“Ah—”

An even more piercing scream answered him.

Nangong Li howled in agony, his expression twisting into a grotesque mask of pain, veins throbbing like furious serpents at his temples.

The oppressive force of the giant palm penetrated inch by inch along his meridians, pressing steadily inward. All his Star Power was growing weak and helpless—he had reached his limit.

Just one final step remained: delivering him into the Beast God’s mouth, and the Blood Offering ritual would be complete.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted!

Nangong Li’s skin instantly split open, lightning-fork cracks spreading rapidly across his body, threatening to burst him apart in an instant.

Self-destruction!

A self-destruction at the Celestial Venerable Realm could level this entire canyon. No matter how sturdy the Altar was, it would ultimately be reduced to dust in the ensuing shockwave!

“You beast! Even if I can’t kill you, I won’t let you have your way!”

Nangong Li’s eyes burned with madness—he had nothing left to lose.

Starlight burst from within him, his shattered origin frantically circulating as it gathered Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth, condensing into what resembled a blood-thunder ready to detonate.

In that instant, the atmosphere in the valley shifted.

Birds and beasts scattered in panic. For kilometers around the mysterious canyon in the Great Li Mountains, Star Beasts fled wildly, desperate to put distance between themselves and the epicenter.

“Self-destruction?”

A phantom flickered above the Altar as the Beast God sneered at Nangong Li’s actions. “You think you can self-destruct before me?”

The next moment.

He calmly retracted his palm.

Whoosh!

The howling winds in the canyon abruptly stilled.

“How is this possible?!”

Nangong Li’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared down at his own condition, despair washing over him.

The Star Power fueling his self-destruction had been suppressed—like a fragile candle flame snuffed out—forcibly halted.

“Pathetic tricks, mere lower realm techniques… Did you truly think I would take them seriously?!”

The Beast God’s phantom opened its bloody maw, slowly guiding Nangong Li toward it, preparing to devour him. “Just accept your fate as Blood Offering.”

“No, no, NO!!”

Tears and blood mingled as they streamed down Nangong Li’s chin. He strained to arch backward, desperate to escape the terrifying jaws.

He could already see the swirling vortex of fangs within.

“How I hate this!”

After a lifetime of schemes, he never imagined it would end like this.

Having already sacrificed Meng Tianxuan, the Beast God’s appetite seemed endless—now even he, a sect leader, wouldn’t be spared…

Crunch… crunch…

Horrific chewing sounds echoed through the valley.

They reverberated faintly between the cliff faces before finally fading into silence.

……..At the same time.

In Jianghai City.

Within Fuhai District.

A gentle breeze parted the white window curtains, as warm sunlight bloomed generously.

Li Zixuan lay on the bed, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, when she suddenly awoke from unconsciousness, her body drenched in cold sweat!
