What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 582
582 Ritual (2)
Divine runes shot out from the shattered jade stone with light, as if these words were originally hidden inside. In the blink of an eye, they formed more than ten thousand words of scripture above the altar. Every ancient divine rune carried the ancient aura of the Savage Desolate as if it was condensed from some Law. They danced in the air and combined, revealing different colors.
Song Shi’s eyes lit up. He observed carefully and realized that he did not recognize these ancient divine words. He looked at Du Ming’e awkwardly. “Do you know them?”
“I can’t recognize all of them.”
Du Ming’e shook her head. “This seems to be a sacrificial scripture. There’s a lot of content and it’s quite advanced.”
“Hmph, this is the Ancient Fiendcelestial Sacrificial Ceremony. Even in the primordial era, it was a precious thing. To think that you don’t recognize it. Bunch of dogs.”
The Primordial Heavenly Wolf’s blurry figure had a disdainful expression.
Song Shi frowned. “What’s the use of that? I thought it was some divine power. So it’s a sacrificial ritual.”
Du Ming’e shook her head. “Brother Song, it’s not that simple. The Sacrificial Dao is also a powerful Heavenly Dao. It was very popular in the ancient times and exists even now.”
“The Sacrificial Dao…”
Song Shi could not help but recall that the first time he came into contact with such a thing, he was still a small character. What was it back then? It seemed that it was a fellow from the Sky Demon Cult who sacrificed to the evil god. Coincidentally, he was killed by the evil god and received many rewards at that time.
This sacrificial ceremony should be related to something. Unfortunately, he was still not interested.
“Ignorant.”
Primordial Heavenly Wolf said disdainfully, “Unfortunately, who asked you to break the altar? According to the rules, this divine altar has to be given to someone like you who doesn’t know what’s good for him. What a waste.”
As it spoke, the tens of thousands of divine runes floating in the air shone like stars, and the phantoms of ancient gods appeared in the light.
There was a one-eyed Fiendcelestial that reached the heavens, a dark and strange demonic shadow, a faint and cold ghost shadow, and an ancient god that exuded an evil aura… Song Shi could not help but be stunned as though he had seen powerful existences from the primordial era.
This divine altar looked quite extraordinary.
Du Ming’e looked at the divine rune with difficulty and thought of something. She said in surprise, “Could this be a divine altar that can reach the Heavenly Dao Realm? It can communicate with all the gods who have received sacrifices since ancient times and borrow their power from the Heavenly Dao to obtain the power of the Fiendcelestials!”
The Primordial Heavenly Wolf glanced sideways and said proudly, “Finally, there’s someone who knows his stuff. That’s right, this Primordial Sacrificial Ceremony can directly communicate with many Fiendcelestials who are undergoing sacrifices. As long as your offerings are generous enough, it’s not a problem to ask the Primordial Fiendcelestial’s projection to descend and help temporarily.”
When Song Shi heard this, he said in realization, “So it’s a special mystic technique to hire thugs. Interesting.”
“Bullsh*t, what do you mean by hiring thugs? This is communicating with the gods and possessing the power of the Fiendcelestials. It’s the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!”
The Primordial Heavenly Wolf corrected him unhappily, “You will soon know how powerful this sacrificial ceremony is. As long as the offerings you give are generous, it won’t be a problem to invite a Chaos Fiendcelestial to take action.”
“Oh, that’s still a high-level fighter.”
Song Shi said calmly. As an immortal, he was not very interested in this thing. Of course, he was much more interested than when he first saw it.
This was because this was indeed a powerful method.
The Primordial Heavenly Wolf was angered to death by Song Shi’s words, it gritted its teeth: “Ignorant!”
At this moment, the divine runes in the air began to condense and transform into a five-colored altar. Layer by layer, it was divided into seven layers from the bottom to the top.
The Primordial Fiendcelestial phantoms that had originally appeared were engraved on the seven-layered altar. From the bottom to the third, there were many of them below. The higher they went, the fewer there were. Similarly, they were also stronger.
Most importantly, some of these phantoms were actually lifelike, as if they were real projections. One could sense different auras from them.
Song Shi could sense that the Fiendcelestials at the lowest level of the altar were not very powerful. They were even weaker than him. Perhaps they were pseudo-gods or demigods.
The second level was stronger, comparable to the Guiding Envoy, Di Ling. The third level was like the Thunder Immortal Monarch, but its aura was stronger.
He estimated that if these were all ancient Fiendcelestials, then the fourth level should be first-rate Divine Kings and stronger than ordinary Immortal Kings.
The fifth level was at the level of the Divine Emperor. The sixth level was at the level of a Celestial Venerable. Among Fiendcelestials, they should be Chaos Fiendcelestials. As for the seventh level…
His gaze landed on the seventh level, which was the top level. He only saw two. They were the giant holding an axe and the phantom of a human head and snake body. Moreover, these two were very blurry and not as clear as the other phantoms.
Moreover, he realized that the higher the altar went, the more blurry the phantom became. It was probably because the owner of the phantom was too powerful that the Primordial Sacrificial Ceremony could not be completely revealed.
“Interesting. Could the two at the top be Pangu and Nuwa?”
Song Shi touched his chin. At this moment, the Primordial Heavenly Wolf suddenly turned into a phantom and projected onto the second level of the altar, turning into a lifelike Heavenly Wolf.
In the next moment, the altar turned into five-colored light and quickly shrank, landing in Song Shi’s hand in a flash.
Song Shi sensed that this thing was not a corporeal body but was formed by countless Laws and other powers. No, there should be an even stronger power.
Heavenly Dao power.
He was stunned for a moment. There was such a thing in this illusion?
Was it an illusion? Was he just experiencing it or did he really obtain this thing?
“Congratulations, Brother Song, for obtaining this Primordial divine altar.”
Du Ming’e’s expression was complicated. Who would have thought that there would be such a thing after smashing an altar?
However, she understood that if it were her, it would be impossible for her to do such a thing.
“It’s hard to say if it’s true or not.”
Song Shi tossed around the Primordial Divine Altar and asked, “Speaking of which, what level is this Primordial Sacrificial Ritual at?”
Du Ming’e really knew some information and sighed, “This is one of the eight ancient divine altars. It’s very famous. Perhaps in terms of value, it can’t compare to those divine altars that inherit divine techniques and divine powers, but its auxiliary value is the greatest.”
“Oh, how so?”
Song Shi vaguely guessed something.
“This is because it’s the only divine altar that can allow you to directly trade strength with many Fiendcelestials when you’re weak. In theory, you can obtain feedback as long as you provide offerings.”
Du Ming’e said with burning eyes, “Even if we become Heavenly Immortals in the future, it’s nothing in the Immortal World. However, if we sacrifice a Fiendcelestial and obtain a trace of its power, even if this power can only be used once, it’s equivalent to a powerhouse protecting himself. It’s a very perfect trump card. Furthermore, it can directly help you increase your strength. It’s equivalent to a multi-purpose Dharma treasure.”
Song Shi could not help but look sideways.
Not only could he add points, but he could also provide trump cards.
Wasn’t this equivalent to a simple system-type Dharma treasure?
“It’s indeed quite interesting.”
He was immediately interested and prepared to study it.
Even if this thing was not very useful to an existence like him who could not die, with such a function, it was not bad to let others use it after researching it thoroughly. It was much more powerful than ordinary Dharma treasures.
“I just didn’t expect it to be here.”
Du Ming’e was a little hesitant. “Then is it real or fake?”
“We should know when it’s over.”
Song Shi looked at the Fiendcelestial altar. “I believe that even if it’s fake, it definitely exists in reality.”
“That makes sense. Even if an illusion is illusory, it has a certain realistic foundation. It’s impossible to fabricate it out of thin air. If it can be created out of thin air, it’s no different from creating a world.”
Du Ming’e agreed.
Suddenly, a hand appeared and grabbed the miniature altar in Song Shi’s hand.
Song Shi moved and dodged it easily.
A figure came from behind him and looked greedily at the altar in his hand. He shouted, “How did you get this thing?!”
Song Shi smiled playfully. “You can if you break this altar. Unfortunately, you were frightened away by the Heavenly Wolf and lost the chance to obtain this ancient divine item.”
The latter narrowed his eyes and was a little angry. “I didn’t expect to be frightened by a dog’s bluff. You’re quite slow to react. I didn’t expect you to take advantage of it.”
He was indignant and questioned, “What is this? It looks extraordinary.”
Du Ming’e was furious and retorted, “What kind of attitude is that? This thing belongs to Brother Song. You still have the cheek to snatch it just now?”
The latter said playfully, “You can’t say that. Everyone who sees this has a share. I’m not the only one who saw it.”
“That’s right. Everyone has a share of the things in this altar.”
Another cultivator appeared and deliberately echoed. In fact, he was just casually making up a reason to snatch the Fiendcelestial altar.
Song Shi waved his hand and said meaningfully, “This thing is an altar transformed from the power of the Primordial Fiendcelestial Ritual. If you’re interested, we can share it.”
