Just as the scimitar leaped into the air, his twin blades slashing down at a group of pureblood vampires in the midst of their sacrifice, a burst of blood light erupted instantly.
A crimson orb of light burst forth from Santanico Pandemoni, the "mistress of death" and the ancient vampire queen, deflected the scimitar far away and instantly enveloped the entire altar.
"It's too late." This was exactly what Wu Chen had expected.
Based on past experience, once limited storylines of this "transitional animation" nature begin to unfold, they are very difficult to interrupt. Even important characters like the Curved Blade, who have their own aura, cannot break this ironclad rule.
As a crimson orb enveloped the entire altar, the giant python, its fangs removed, had its tightly closed mouth forcibly opened by an unseen, powerful force.
Blood gushed from the wound at the base of the fang, which hadn't yet healed. Like a fire hydrant suddenly opened, two jets of blood shot out. Before the snake blood could even hit the ground, it was eerily absorbed by the crimson orb of light.
The feeling was as if a giant golden serpent were pouring its own blood into a crimson sphere of light. As the serpent's blood continued to flow in, the crimson sphere enveloping the altar began to expand, and the beams of blood-red light it emitted seemed to tangibly illuminate the entire interior of the Aztec pyramid.
"This is..." Captain Nine-Tails exclaimed in shock as crimson light rapidly spread along the walls. Hidden ancient stone carvings began to appear within the crimson light, continuously connecting to form large, crimson patterns. As the crimson light spread, it also activated the pyramid's internal mechanisms.
"Rumble--"
The pyramid, which appears to have only five layers on the outside, reveals hidden, folded spaces amidst the crisscrossing, blood-red light.
One floor, two floors, three floors.
Therefore, the breast-jiggling nightclub located at the top of the pyramid is actually the eighth level of the pyramid.
As the folded structure was meticulously outlined by the blood-red, flower-like threads of light rising from the magic circle, its complete silhouette was revealed. The sun temple, belonging to the once-powerful Aztec Empire, stood tall once more.
Aside from its more intricate and elaborate interior decorations imbued with religious significance, the overall design of the Temple of the Sun is largely similar to the Aztec Temple in Mexico City.
The Temple of the Great God (Templo Mayor), known as "Teokari" in Aztec, was considered the center of the universe, and its construction is closely related to the founding legend of the imperial capital, Tenochtitlan. According to Aztec records, when the site was chosen for the city in 1325, a strange phenomenon was observed: an eagle holding a snake in its beak stood on a cactus. The first temple was subsequently built on this site. As the empire expanded, the temple underwent six reconstructions, forming a layered structure. Each expansion was initiated with a sacrifice ceremony of prisoners of war, culminating in the largest expansion in 1487, during which over 2 prisoners of war were sacrificed.
The Great Temple was the core religious building of Tenochtitlan, a city in the Aztec Empire, located in the historic center of present-day Mexico City. The existing ruins consist of the pyramid-shaped temple foundation, a sacrificial platform, and unexcavated underground structures. The main structure is a 40-meter-high step pyramid built of volcanic and limestone, coated with red stucco and decorated with serpentine reliefs. The top platform houses a dual temple dedicated to the war god Wizilopochtli and the rain god Traloc, serving a dual religious function of maintaining military expansion and agricultural prosperity. Small altars for subordinate deities are located at the four corners of the pyramid base, and the Eagle Temple on the west side was used for warrior promotion ceremonies.
However, unlike the seven-tiered structure of the Aztec Great Temple, this Temple of the Sun has eight tiers. And the biggest difference between this eight-tiered temple and the Aztec Great Temple ruins in Mexico City is that this temple is dedicated solely to the fifth sun god, Tonatiu!
So the question is, what exactly is different about the fifth sun god, Tonatiu?
"The Fifth Sun Age, meaning 'Fourth Cycle (Earthquake),' is ruled by Tonatius. This is the present world. Legend has it that it will be destroyed by a super earthquake on December 22, 2012, and the residents will be devoured by monsters from the sky." Wu Chen reminded Captain Nine-Tailed Fox and all the female team members: "Be careful of those 'monsters from the sky.'"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The base of the pyramid, stained with the blood-red light emanating from the inner altar, suddenly gushed forth fountains of blood. Then, in mid-air, it transformed into a torrential downpour of blood, drenching the bewildered survivors. Strangely, the instant the blood rain fell, the survivors in the camp felt a sudden heat; the scalding snake blood transformed into burning crimson light, engulfing them in a whoosh.
The flickering, humanoid crimson flames seemed to possess a terrifying power to distort space and time. They strung together tongues of fire that darted across the ground, like countless blood snakes burrowing in and out!
"Awooo—" The survivor, engulfed by the twisted, blood-red light, surrendered completely and without resistance in the blink of an eye. Terrifying blood flames spewed from its seven orifices, converging and twisting into coiled fire serpents. Then, one of these serpents bit into the victim's head, injecting its venomous flames all at once. As the flames fiercely poured in, the fire serpents binding the victim shrank continuously. It felt as if an entire fire serpent had burrowed into the victim's brain!
Mutations followed immediately.
A pair of blood-red wings tore apart the distorted crimson light, and the monster that emerged from its cocoon soared into the sky like a cannonball. A terrifying storm of death gathered around the pyramid temple shrouded in crimson light.
"They're all vampires!" Captain Nine-Tailed immediately received a pop-up warning: "So this is the 'monster from the sky'!"
Almost no one survived in the entire survivor camp.
Especially those "blood packs" who frequent nightclubs and are repeatedly sedated!
Because they are infected with the "vampire virus" and become asymptomatic carriers, their mutations are even more rapid and terrifying!
On the contrary, those strong survivors who kept themselves pure and virtuous were still crawling on the ground under the distorted blood light, desperately trying to avoid being completely mutated!
“If there is a sequel to (From Dusk Till Dawn), this is a player storyline that belongs exclusively to the Sanctuary.” Wu Chen was also impressed by the epic scene unfolding before him: “From the moment they understood that ‘the hidden setting of the breast-jiggling nightclub is a reverse massacre of the colonists by Native Americans,’ the creativity of the players of Fulong Temple in developing the storyline was evident.”
"What you say is absolutely right, my lord." Captain Nine-Tails sighed in agreement: "This is what you call a 'true sequel'."
By offering the blood of a golden serpent to the fifth sun god Tonatiu, he gained the ability to walk in the daytime, becoming the most unique existence among vampires—the "Daywalker"!
The Daywalker, most familiar to gamers, is a hybrid race from Marvel Comics. A prime example is the renowned Blade. As a hybrid of human and vampire, the Daywalker possesses vampire strength and human resistance to light, but ages like humans. Daywalkers are dedicated to eliminating the undead, are proficient in various martial arts and weapons, especially the katana for both melee and ranged attacks, and have the ability to drain the life force of their enemies. Referring to Blade's lore, the Daywalker's background stems from the tragedy of his mother being killed by a vampire during childbirth, an experience that forms a significant motivation for him to become a vampire hunter.
In the storyline of Fulong Temple, they are actually the "divine blessing" of Tonatiu, the fifth sun god of the Aztecs.
"Everything is great up to this point." Wu Chen had the discerning eye of a seasoned player in the Sanctuary when it came to the plot development of the first level of Fulong Temple: "The only element that hasn't been activated yet is the Blood Orchid Queen."
Yes.
Where is the Blood Orchid Queen, who hasn't made her appearance yet tonight?
