Chapter 200
200 Sacrificial alter becomes active
Mojin was sitting beside a wall-like tablet that was shimmering with blood-like luster.
The blood red to him however was like an opportunity, but part of his soul was trying to fight hard against it yet he failed.
In a way, he was someone that had also reached the level of the soul.
Simply, he was also close to law, as with the soul, one could comprehend laws. But that all depends on certain factors that are necessary to meet.
For the leader Mojin, he had yet to meet them, but with this alter he saw the hope of accomplishing more than just that.
But in the end, his soul was being manipulated by some external force.
This was what had been pushing him to get involved with the issue of sacrifices.
For something to be sealed, it had to have a reason. When he destroyed the seal, even though it had somehow weakened, this was no different from letting out some disaster.
But in the same way, the risk allowed him to survive a lot longer. The reason for doing it however has already been abandoned by him due to greed to become stronger using means depicted on the blood sacrifice altar.
.....
Even if part of his soul was trying to fight against it, he couldn’t change anything at all.
Without power, it would be impossible to survive in this place and the altar had a way of opening a special passage to another region.
Then only one person could move through, something he intentionally didn’t mention to the others. From the very beginning, they were also just another sacrifice for him, anyway, he already deemed this act as benevolent as he managed to buy time for them to survive, and since only one person could escape, they might as well end their suffering.
With such thoughts, his heart had no waves at all.
“Time is almost there! I will improve my soul and even my body will undergo some qualitative changes, allowing me to easily pass through my future cultivation road. But in the same way, I should at least be able to raise my cultivation too.” He seemed pleased with the practice of the witch clan.
But under the altar was a soul that had taken advantage of Mojin and poisoned his heart, turning him into a demon.
It kept observing his actions and was very pleased with them.
“After this one helps me purify the blood energy, the alter should be also capable of purifying him and that could allow me to recover my soul to some extent. After that, it’s time to visit the outside world. This time I should be very careful to avoid being imprisoned again. Or even the some might just kill me off directly.” The soul was more illusionary, but the altar seemed to protect it.
It had not lied to Mojin with the information he got after communicating with the alter.
It requires a lot of energy to transport a lot of people, and the energy required for that is not possible to be found in this hell.
Sitting cross-legged, Mojin heard movements and a smile appeared on his face with his mouth raised an arc.
“Then, let’s start right away.” He murmured to himself before sending a transfusion to the woman taking the lead to bring people in.
” Okay, you should leave, the passage will be opened in about two days, make sure everyone is gathered by that time. There is only one trip and those that fail to make it can only be left behind.” He passed on the message but there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
This group gathered outside the hall were not willing to die, it seemed they hang been received that a tunnel had been obtained that could allow them to leave this place.
Seeing how they had carried luggage with them, even Mojin had been inspired by some idea.
He was going to use the same method to attract others to this place,
Preferably everyone and those that failed to come he didn’t mind, after all, it would be enough to accomplish his goal, after leaving this place he could just find other places with an opportunity to carry out sacrifices.
He began to release black energy from his hands and spread it into the altar, which made it active.
After that, a voice could be heard calling the group inside, and knowing who it was, the people didn’t delay.
The black energy being pushed into the altar seemed to be changing fast, and in no time it wiggled and turned into a huge dark liquid that seemed to be wiggling.
Once the group started to enter the huge hall, the altar was completely revealed.
Despite the creepy atmosphere, everyone was curious and started to move as though approaching to observe.
Looking at the huge wall with a blood-like luster and black substance wriggling, they finally gave in to fear, but when they tries to retreat, some energy started escaping from the wall.
Its nature was that of broken, corrupt, angry, and greedy and this all could be felt from the fluctuations of energy.
The energy fluctuations seemed to have a different nature from humans. This could be viewed as evil by any human.
The space in the hall started to vibrate and before they knew it big tentacles had already started to take form from the black liquid.
Mojin on the other hand didn’t care much about the reactions of the group of people in the hall. He stated at the wiggling black tentacles that had started to manifest with fiery eyes.
“Come on, it’s time to enjoy these sacrifices and fulfill my wishes,” Mojin muttered to himself with a trace of excitement.
“Something is wrong in this place, should we retreat, or are you guys going to wait for that chance that was mentioned.”
“Me too, I don’t want that chance anymore, this place seems very wrong.”
The man with a huge beard was also talking as he played through the group trying to reach the door.
Some people also could see something was wrong here as Mojin was bleeding.
From the eyes, nose, and even ears but his face was very excited. Some were curious about what would make the man so happy.
But the lack of cooperation made it such that the group’s situation was very unfavorable.
The number in the hall kept increasing and it was even difficult to pass through the crowded door.
Let alone leave, those that we’re already retreating only made the order in the hall messed up.
But they become even more uneasy deep inside.
Despite there being those that had a sense of crisis, the time was too late to escape.
“Ooh there are some smart people in this group of sacrifices, but unfortunately it is still too late. I hope they can be humble and accept their fate.” In the distance, Mojin could see the development but he didn’t bother since he had already succeeded.
The change caught the attention of some people. But they thought it was a good show to watch. This is human nature, despaired where they are. In the face of commotion, some would take it as a show for them to watch.
Suddenly the huge tentacles started to lash out at the crowd. From screams to blood splattering, it becomes a very scary scene.
Each time blood could be seen splattering, screams followed from the hall, making blood mist rise and spread.
It released an aura as though, the place had turned into shura hell.
Blood red, cloudy mist could be seen starting to gather.
The entire hall started to fuse with the altar and bodies inside were being turned into nutrition for the altar to grow.
With the hall as the center, change started to occur and those outside the hall also suffered the same fate.
The alter was expanding with the passage of time and even the plans that Mojin had become useless.
The blood cloud could be seen from a distance which started to attract the attention of some important figures.
It didn’t take long for the tentacles to start attacking other areas.
Screams could be heard coming from all directions.
“What!” In a certain area, a certain human with some strength thought he could even retreat in front of the tentacle, but his entire body was being dragged toward the hall.
Even after screaming, nobody came to his rescue. This made him very flustered.
Under everyone’s horrified eyes, he was dragged into the blood mist and his sound suddenly stopped.
“No! That was Xian Bing, his physical body is said to be tyrannical and second only to the elders. He suffered such a fate, what about us? Run!”
“No! Don’t move, that thing seems to be tracking my movements.” Another one lying on the floor shouted but not many were willing to listen to anyone at this moment.
Getting out of the place was the most important at the moment.
He witnessed as everyone ruling was dragged into the blood mist and soon it was also spending towards their location.
