Chapter 389: Activation: Part 3

The day after the activation of the little holy sanctum, a piece of tragic news was announced, shocking everyone.

Lin Sheng was carefully checking the ritual circle of the Darkspirit Gate. Suddenly he heard an emergency message from Cainphas.

He frowned slightly. He was about to start building the Darkspirit Gate. Why did Cainphas contact him at this time? Didn’t he remind everyone not to disturb him?

To cope with the imminent retaliation of the three secret realms, the key was to quickly improve his own strength.

Lin Sheng had more souls than anyone else. Theoretically, his holy power was far from reaching the limits of his spiritual powers, but the strength of his body stifled the infinite growth of the holy power and dark power.

However, the holy power needed a container to be stored, and there was a problem with that container. The previous ritual of blood transformation also made it possible for Lin Sheng to further enhance his physical strength.

“What happened?” Lin Sheng impatiently connected the communicator hanging on his body.

“Good news, bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” Cainphas asked.

“Let’s hear the bad news first.” Lin Sheng checked the ritual circle of the Darkspirit Gate for the last time and began to check the material.

Cainphas laughed. “Well, the bad news first. Reian, the grand crown prince of Redwin, was poisoned and assassinated at half-past three in the morning last night as he led his army in the battle against a cloud of monsters that was pouring out of the Ashen World.”

“And then? The Heaven’s Spire is still there. There can’t be chaos in Redwin, can it?” Lin Sheng said casually.

“Yes, but when the grand crown prince was killed, he was killed along with one of the greatest of his Six-wingers and more than three thousand soldiers. These people are a vital part of the defense line.”

“So?”

“So the defense line of Redwin is broken. The defenders of the line came under heavy attack. At least one hundred and fifty thousand undead devoured Redwin’s army, crushing at least eighty thousand elite soldiers. These casualties are likely to be a resource for the Sevenlocks Tower to build the portal. If the Redwin can’t stop it, we may formally face a terrorist attack from the Ashen World.”

“Okay, but personally, I think that’s too far away for us. What we need to do is to improve ourselves and the strength of Holy Sanctum right away, rather than panic,” Lin Sheng said calmly. “Now, please tell me the good news.”

“The good news is that the defense line has fallen. All forces in the three secret realms will now concentrate on the confrontation with the Sevenlocks Tower. They probably don’t have extra Palatinates to come after us.”

Lin Sheng got it immediately.

With Tenko Kasumi’s current strength, she could deal with three Palatinates from the three secret realms alone. And it took close cooperation of at least four Palatinates to take her down. At this point, it’s impossible for Carte Blanche and Suncrown to send four Palatinates.

“Well, that’s good news. We have more time to prepare. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. I may retreat and meditate for a few days. Don’t disturb me if there’s nothing urgent.”

“Well, I won’t disturb you if there’s nothing serious or urgent,” said Cainphas and then disconnected the call.

Lin Sheng stood up and completed the inspection of materials.

“Well, now is the time to summon. More soul power means more strength!”

He went to the door and pressed the blue button on the wall.

After a little bell rang, the door opened. Living bodies were carried in by the Redarmor warriors and stacked in the ritual offerings.

There were twelve convicts, all of them unforgivable criminals Lin Sheng carefully selected. Rape, murder, cult sacrifice, skinning, and even eating raw human flesh. There’s nothing these people dare not do.

These were the dark spirit’s favorite foods. The lure of the wicked to dark spirits when they reached their peak was absolutely unimaginable.

After confirming that there was no problem, Lin Sheng stepped forward and gently sprinkled a kind of silver powder.

This was a special drug that he named sacrificial powder, which could replace many materials and processes needed for the sacrificial ritual. This was also the product developed by Lin Sheng after he became familiar with many energy languages.

Silver powder wafted evenly across the ritual circle in front of him.

Suddenly, pale blue fog rose from the ritual circle the size of a basketball court. The blue fog began to envelop the summoning room, slowly covering even the ritual circle on the ground.

Lin Sheng murmured the spells that summoned the dark spirits.

“I am an innocent white sheep, here, in this weak land, calling you to come.

“O mighty dark spirits, wise and powerful special beings, I will offer you trivial fresh food. I hope you will answer my call.

“I am desperate, miserable, betrayed, and now seriously injured…”

Lin Sheng quickly picked up the bowl of blood, spilled it on his body, and pretended to be miserable.

“I am sad, miserable, vengeful, and now I have no strength…”

His expression quickly changed into that of seething hatred.

“I’m worn out, I’m cornered, I’m in despair, and I can only beg for your blessing.”

Lin Sheng sang his revised summoning lines out loud in Deviltongue. Compared with the original spells, the spells with revised lines obviously had better special effects.

As Lin Sheng finished the spells, he saw that in the ritual circle, the circles began to merge into rings of different sizes. And in the rings, there were two moons facing opposite each other. The big moon encircled the small one, emitting a transparent blue light in the blue fog.

“Kaguji, hsye, hqcuau?”

Who? Who’s calling the power? Who’s calling me!

Immediately, a loud voice echoed through the blue fog in the ritual.

A large figure slowly emerged from the revolving ritual circle as the fog swallowed up the unconscious offerings on one side.

It was a writhing mass of blue flesh, at least three meters in diameter.

Blurry faces that won’t stop laughing and crying kept appearing on the surface of the thing, and the body kept swelling and shrinking. It looked like a large translucent energy stone, a shape-shifting blue energy stone.

“I… the wise general of dark spirits, Cassau Filchmann, answer your request!”

The large energy stone slowly approached the terrified Lin Sheng.

“Come on, tell me what you want. For the sake of the sacrifice, I will grant you a good fortune.”

“I… I want revenge!!” Lin Sheng’s face was ferocious and seemed flushed with rage.

“I want a way to increase my strength!” He requested directly.

“Increased strength?” The general pondered for a moment.

“Yes, I can grant your wish. A powerful, perfect, body-strengthening secret. Your soul is inherently powerful and has an unlimited future, and I am willing to invest resources in you in advance.”

Lin Sheng was about to kill the general of dark spirits. He quickly put down the controller he had prepared when he heard this.

“Thank you, mighty general! Please impart this knowledge to me.” He looked at the general again with anticipation and longing.

“I like the look in your eyes. So, this is special blood, the Lost Blood. It will give you the knowledge you need.”

The general squirmed, slowly extruding a thick, shimmering mass of blood from the right side of his skin.

It did not look like blood, but at the first sight of it, Lin Sheng realized that it was the blood of some powerful ancient being.

The dark spirit general looked at Lin Sheng’s shocked look in a good mood.

If the deal was completed, he would acquire a large number of high-quality sacrifices at one fell swoop, thus gaining further evolution of the life level.

It was undoubtedly a very worthwhile deal for the dark spirit general to trade the blood of unknown sources for so many high-quality offerings.
