Chapter 128: The Next Day
At the moment, dozens of cultivators were still busying themselves on the battlefield. They were carrying the Shamans’ bodies to a clearing so that they could be searched and stripped of all clothes, armor, and other possessions. Once done, the possessions were then moved into piles based on their categories, and the corpses were carried to a different clearing. Directly above the corpses, bluish green smoke could be seen floating in the air and transforming into a rain of spirit qi and life.
Wei Yuan had instructed the cultivators to leave the corpses like this for three days straight. When the poison and mystic energy had dissipated completely, Qingming would convert them into spirit rain. Three days later, the corpses would be carried and buried in a designated area. At the moment, Wei Yuan had chosen a spot at the foot of the mountain next to a dense forest. Three days later, Qingming’s domain would expand to that location.
Having witnessed the world rewarding him for slaying the Avatars, and Qingming converting the Shamans’ mystic energy and poison into nourishment for the realm, Wei Yuan felt a chill all of a sudden. The reality of this world might be far more brutal than he had imagined.
As dusk fell, the surrounding grew dimmer and dimmer. However, the sky above the domain was ablaze with a fiery sunset. Suddenly, the red hues of the sunset grew thick and viscous. The sky turned dark all of a sudden, and the atmosphere became oppressively heavy. Breathing grew difficult like a huge rock was sitting on everyone’s chest.
Wei Yuan looked up at the sky. He could see that the sunset hues were rapidly turning into swathes of bloody clouds.
The Shamans’ blood curse had arrived!
For obvious reasons, the Shamans weren’t just going to call it quits after suffering a crushing defeat in the humans’ hands. This time, they were remotely casting a blood sacrifice curse that targeted everything within this corner of the world.
When the bloody clouds took form, blood red droplets began falling from the sky. Wei Yuan immediately raced toward Qingming while commanding the four idle Dao Foundation stage cultivators to enter the array nodes as quickly as possible.
The blood rain was about halfway toward the ground when it came into contact with the array. A faint glow was covering everything within a thousand zhang. The droplets started diminishing as soon as it entered its sphere of influence and vanished completely when it was still dozens of zhang away from the ground.
