Chapter 649: Ceremony
The five cauldrons landed on five corners of the altars and woke up the power here.
A peerless force erupted from the black altar, creating gales and black clouds in the sky. They began to spin around, making it feel as if the world itself was spinning.
“We can start the ceremony now.” Gu Lida was shaking emotionally. He has waited too long for this day.
More than 20,000 beasts in captivity were brought over by heretical cultivators. Some larger ones were dozens of meters long, tied up by thick iron chains. They started shaking and squirming to get out.
A protector shot out forbidden rays that surround these big beasts, immobilizing them.
The altar reached the clouds in a majestic corner. The platform at the top had a diameter of 260 meters, looking just like a shrine meant for ascension.
It took six hours before all the beasts were brought to the top. Though this ceremony wasn’t comparable to the one ten thousand years ago, it was still quite impressive.
Just like how ancient people worshipped their gods, using this altar to steal the tree from the goddess would be a simple task.
“Take out their souls.” The fifth and sixth protector started at the same time.
The two released black chains of energy and dragged out a millennium spirit beast.
This beast had the bloodline of a sacred creature - the Bi’an and had cultivated for more than 1,200 years. Though its sacred bloodline was negligible, it was far more powerful than an ordinary spirit beast and capable of smashing a Giant to a pulp.
It was the king of the mountains near Heaven Witchcraft Division. The beasts within a 20,000 miles area were under its control.
