Chapter 75 Son Of Prophecy And The Crimson Blood Skull Cult
[You spent the entire night devouring and refining the astral energy in the starry night sky. By the time that daytime has arrived, you have already become a Level 86 Honored Star.]
[You know that the improvement of your star cultivation was this fast due to your Unparalleled Talent (Red). But reaching Level 91 Revered Constellation might still prove to be a challenge for you as the higher your level was, the more astral energy it was needed to break through.]
[You weren't surprised by that discovery since you already know that star coins existed for that reason in the first place. Only those who barely have any cultivation resources or none at all would rely on the meager astral energy during nighttime.]
[But before you were about to leave your humble abode, you noticed that several powerful presences had surrounded your mansion. Before you were about to leave, a huge formation had locked the space around your mansion, preventing you from leaving. Only by destroying that huge formation, you could leave the mansion.]
[Afterward, several men with black robes and a crimson red skull with a blood tear on its gouged-out eyes were present on the front and back of their black robes. It looked like the uniform they used was reminiscent of a cult and you guessed that they were likely to be a powerful force in this world.]
[After all, you might not be able to see their appearance as it was covered by their black robes, but you could still perceive that their power was around Honored Star and there were even 4 Revered Constellations among them!]
[You didn't know why the fuck there were this many Honored Stars and Revered Constellation in this medium-sized Qinghu City but your common sense still managed to guess that Qinghu City was likely the secret base of this damn cult.]
[Before you could start attacking them, you halted as you were surprised by their unusual chanting. "Slaughter! Skull for the skull throne! Blood for the blood god!"]
["Star for the star sky! Crimson for the blood moon!" The deranged voices of those men in black robes resounded in your mansion and when they mentioned the word "blood moon", you noticed that one of the Revered Constellations among them had taken out a disk-like artifact, most likely an astrolabe. And when that guy activated it, the sun hanging in the sky slowly dimmed and became a crimson blood moon!]
[Afterward, visions of skulls littering the ground and the gouged-out eyes of those skulls wept bloody tears started appearing! Eventually, four skull thrones appeared and the four Revered Constellations sat on those skull thrones.]
[The rest of the Honored Stars surrounded the perimeter, preventing your escape. You were surprised at why they surrounded you and the only explanation you could think of was that your stealing spree was observed by them. And only at this time that they decided to take action against you!]
[Of course, there was also the possibility that the guy who you mind-controlled to give you a mansion was a member of this damn cult and they immediately swarmed to this mansion to take it back from you as well as take revenge!]
[However, you didn't want to die that early so you decided to at least see if the situation was negotiable. You cupped your fist and asked, "What's the purpose of your visit? Can we talk this through?"]
[In response, one of the Revered Constellations sitting on the throne spoke hoarsely, "For centuries, our Crimson Blood Skull Cult has been on the lookout for the son of prophecy who was destined to rule and destroy this world! Our late ancestors have founded the Crimson Blood Skull Cult just to prevent the demise of this world caused by the hands of that damnable son of prophecy!"]
[Noticing that you were attentively listening to him, that Revered Constellation continued his narration, "Our Crimson Blood Skull Cult has been doing this world a noble deed just to prevent the destruction of the world! However, those hypocrites from Star Hall had been finding ways to locate and shelter the son of prophecy!"]
["They are a bunch of hypocrites who wanted to destroy this world just to honor the prophecy of the Star God, the nemesis of our Blood God!" The skull on the skull throne where the Revered Constellation had sat was gripped tightly by him due to anger. Eventually, the Revered Constellation had used too much of his power and the skull on the armrest of his skull throne had shattered and pulverized to dust.]
[When you listened to their explanation, you couldn't help but interject and ask, "So what does that get to do with me? Don't tell me I am the son of prophecy?"]
[It seemed that the four Revered Constellations were quite patient as they explained to you, "The son of prophecy has the Spear Of Endless Starry Sky as his star artifact. During the son of prophecy's awakening, the astral energy within the sky and atmosphere will be devoured until the starlight will dim momentarily during the awakening."]
["We had noticed that the same phenomenon had happened and we finally tracked down that the cause of it was none other than you! You, who had awakened the Spear of Endless Starry Sky, are none other than the son of prophecy!" The Revered Constellation added, "Since you are the son of prophecy, you are the enemy of our Crimson Blood Skull Cult and your blood and skull will be offered to appease our Blood God!"]
[Hearing the explanation of the Revered Constellation from the Crimson Blood Skull Cult, you couldn't help but interject, "Wait! My star artifact is not the Spear of Endless Starry Sky! None of my star artifacts are even a damn spear!"]
[When they heard your words, they wanted to say that you were lying but you immediately showed your Nine-Colored Cosmic Sword to them, shutting them up.]
[The appearance of your Nine-Colored Cosmic Sword had sparked confusion among them and they started discussing among themselves.]
[Eventually, they came to a conclusion, "A dead man tells no tales. You have heard too much of our secrets and you can only die! You can only blame yourself for knowing too much!"]
