Chapter 492: Sacrifice Call

Yu Wu looked at the formation below with some worry.

Although he was a brute, he couldn’t understand what the formation below was for, but a brute isn’t a fool, so he naturally knew the danger within it.

Moreover, his “City Lord” had just escaped from inside, so the danger level below was imaginable.

At this moment, Yu Wu was already very close to the courtyard below. Just as Yu Wu was hesitating, a strange black human hand suddenly stretched out from the remaining black giant cocoon, heading straight for him.

As the black human hand infinitely stretched out to attack Yu Wu, Yu Wu reacted quickly, controlling Dragon War God to flash sideways, and the black hand flew past Dragon War God’s head.

Missing its target, that black hand seemed to have its own consciousness and did not entangle with the target for too long. Instead, it swiftly flew upwards like a ghost.

In the blink of an eye, it reached the sky above, then suddenly paused in mid-air.

Immediately after, an astonishing scene occurred—that black hand was torn apart as if by an invisible force, instantly splitting into countless tiny black human hands!

These black human hands scattered in all directions like raindrops, as if a black meteor shower.

Their targets were surprisingly the innocent people in the nearby houses! This discovery startled both Yu Wu and Liang Yu, and they immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

The black hands descended from the sky like demons, carrying endless malice and destructive power, rushing straight towards the unarmed commoners.

Yu Wu and Liang Yu exchanged glances. No words were needed; the two were in perfect sync at this moment.

They simultaneously launched their attacks without hesitation, unleashing their respective ultimate skills, streaking like meteors, heading directly for the descending black hands.

Yu Wu’s figure flickered, swiftly approaching the black hand like a ghost. Countless ice spikes instantly condensed in his hand and around him, flying fiercely towards the black hand with a sharp aura.

At the same time, Liang Yu was not to be outdone. His figure was like lightning, instantly appearing on the other side of the black hand. The flames in his hand emitted dazzling light, like a burning meteor, smashing fiercely towards the black hand.

Although they reacted as quickly as possible to attack those black hands, many still slipped through.

After these black hands landed on the ground, they seemed to sense the commoners around them, grabbing them and flying towards the black giant cocoon in the courtyard.

Liang Yu and Yu Wu had no good solution at this point. If they attacked, they would involve the commoners caught by the black hands.

If they allowed the black hands to return to the giant cocoon, those commoners would still not survive, and they themselves would face even greater trouble.

Liang Yu was also very conflicted. He wanted to unleash a Fire Cloud Skill, but doing so would completely expose his current identity.

Even he knew that Shangguan Ye couldn’t possibly do such a thing, and the other party had followed Shangguan Ye for so long that he couldn’t not know.

So the two of them just watched as the black hands carried the commoners into the giant cocoon.

Although Yu Wu tried to rescue them along the way, it was of little avail, so he gave up.

The two of them didn’t know what they would face next, but they were sure that the opponent was extremely dangerous. The only thing they could do now was to maintain their own condition.

It was precisely for this reason that in this area, almost no life could escape their clutches; all living beings were dragged into the black giant cocoon.

And the capacity of that black giant cocoon seemed infinite, never to be filled. After continuously devouring this flesh and blood, it actually began to gradually recover its vitality.

Its originally dim surface now gradually emitted a faint glow, as if signaling that it was about to awaken.

Just then, a low rumble emanated from within the black giant cocoon, as if a sleeping mystery was about to awaken.

The light on the giant cocoon’s surface grew brighter and brighter, and the screams and struggles of the commoners who had not yet been devoured became clearer, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Just then, the originally pitch-black giant cocoon suddenly seemed to be touched by a mysterious force, slowly beginning to change.

The surface of the giant cocoon gradually emitted a faint glow, which grew brighter and brighter, as if it were the light of life emanating from within the cocoon.

Immediately after, the shape of the giant cocoon also began to change. It slowly contracted, eventually forming a giant flower bud.

The color of this flower bud was also deep black, but on the black petals, strange patterns shimmered faintly. These patterns were like stars in the night sky, giving a profound and mysterious feeling.

As the flower bud formed, the outermost petal suddenly trembled slightly, then slowly opened.

The color of this petal was not pure black, but intertwined with strands of silver light within the black. These lights flowed along the edge of the petal, making it look like an exquisite work of art.

Once this petal was fully open, more petals began to bloom in sequence. They unfolded lightly and gracefully, like flowers caressed by the spring breeze.

The opening of each petal was accompanied by a faint “buzzing” sound, as if the flower bud was softly singing an ancient and mysterious song.

And as the petals continued to bloom, astonishing phenomena began to appear in this world.

The originally calm sky suddenly became turbulent, with dark clouds rolling, as if disturbed by the blooming of this flower bud. Streaks of purple lightning streaked through the dark clouds, occasionally cutting across the sky, illuminating the entire sky.

At the same time, ripples began to appear on the ground.

The originally hard ground seemed to be shaken by an invisible force, beginning to tremble slightly.

Some tiny cracks spread across the ground, from which wisps of black smoke emerged. These black smokes swirled and intertwined in the air, forming a giant black vortex.

This phenomenon grew stronger and stronger; the entire city seemed to be shocked by the blooming of this flower bud.

Yet, the flower bud still stood quietly between heaven and earth, like a sleeping giant, awaiting its final awakening.

Liang Yu, recovering from his shock, couldn’t sit still. He roughly guessed what was inside the flower bud.

He kept cursing Bai Hong in his heart, saying that he died and still caused such a big trouble.

Currently, he could only try to stop the flower bud from blooming. From the current situation, it would still take some time to fully bloom, so he still had a chance.

Liang Yu made a decisive move, unleashing Fire Cloud Skill and blasting it towards the flower bud.

Blazing flames, like a scorching giant dragon, surged towards the flower bud with an overwhelming force.

The flames made a

sizzling

sound upon contact with the flower bud’s surface, yet the strange patterns on the flower bud shimmered, neutralizing most of the flame’s power.

Yu Wu was not to be outdone, controlling Dragon War God to charge forward, unleashing a Cold Shadow Skill, and ice spikes shot towards the flower bud like a rainstorm.

But those ice spikes only left shallow marks when they pierced the flower bud.
