Two months in the outside world was equivalent to sixteen months in the Ninefold Space.
Lin Ye didn't waste any time and spent all his time on cultivation.
After tireless cultivation, his cultivation had finally reached Heaven Star Border Realm Stage Six. Compared to two months ago, he was several times stronger. What made him even more excited was that he had successfully cultivated the third stage of the Tenfold Destruction Blade.
He had successfully comprehended and cultivated the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Seal.
His other martial skills had also improved by quite a bit.
Now, if he were to encounter another Manifestation Realm like the grey-robed old man, he would be able to face him head-on and kill him without suffering such heavy injuries. Even if he was pursued by a Manifestation Realm elite, he could still escape if he couldn't win.
At the very least, his survival skills were better.
While he was cultivating, there were more and more experts and martial artists in Shun 'an Prefecture.
All the geniuses from the thirty-six countries of the Sky-sea Realm had gathered in Shun 'an Prefecture.
"Tomorrow is the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony."
"I wonder if we can get some fate from the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony."
"It's a pity that the Moon Kingdom's geniuses are closest to the Sacrificial Altar. The Royal Family's disciples are standing directly on the Sacrificial Altar, so their chances are higher. I wonder how many super geniuses will appear in the Moon Kingdom this time."
"Hmph, the ninety-nine levels of the Sacrificial Altar are so easy to deal with."
"Indeed, only the Heaven Star Border Realm geniuses can go up to the ninety-nine levels of the Sacrificial Altar. The limit of fate will only fall on the Heaven Star Border Realm. There is also a chance for it to fall on the Inborn Realm, but it will never fall on those who have surpassed the Heaven Star Border Realm."
"All in all, the Moon Kingdom's Royal Family's disciples have the highest chance."
"Don't be envious. This is the Moon Kingdom. If we can get some benefits, we can enjoy them for the rest of our lives."
Everyone was talking about the Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony.
The Grand Sacrificial Ceremony was a ceremony for the Moon Kingdom to pray to the Heavens for good weather and peace.
At the same time, it was also a ceremony for the Heaven Star Border Realm disciples to bestow fate and talents.
The Sacrificial Altar and the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony were mystical and mysterious.
"Rumble ~"
"Rumble ~"
There were still a few hours before the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony, the mountains hundreds of miles away from Shun 'an Prefecture exploded with a deafening sound. Even the Shun' an Prefecture city could feel the tremors.
The space kept shaking.
Dark clouds covered the sky in a radius of ten thousand miles. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed.
This scene was seen by everyone in Shun 'an Prefecture.
Everyone was incomparably shocked when they saw this scene.
While they were shocked, they were also filled with anticipation because this was the prelude to the Heavenly Sacrificial Ceremony. The stronger the omen, the more mystical the fate that would descend from the Heavenly Sacrificial Hall. This was a sacred sacrifice that occurred once every hundred years, a divine sacrifice that occurred once every thousand years.
The terrifying and miraculous Heavenly Anomaly lasted from night to the next morning.
Not only did such an omen of heaven and earth not weaken due to the passage of time, it became even more terrifying and mysterious. Blood clouds appeared in the dark clouds, and the storm was like a sharp sword that cut through space.
Some experts even noticed that the omen contained a destructive sword intent.
Rumble ~
Rumble ~
Amidst the endless horror, cracks began to appear where the mountain was.
The cracked earth extended for hundreds of miles.
Under the ground, a shocking light erupted.
The light soared into the sky, straight into the clouds.
Amidst this light, a mystical altar slowly rose up, appearing before the eyes of countless martial artists. The altar continued to rise without end. No one knew how tall this altar was.
At this moment, millions of martial artists in Shun 'an Prefecture stared blankly at the altar in the light.
Finally, two hours passed.
The altar was finally fully revealed in front of the countless martial artists.
Ninety-nine levels of the altar, nine colors.
Every eleven levels had a different color, and the highest level was a sparkling and translucent white.
Red Orange Yellow Green Cyan Blue Purple Black
The entire altar was shrouded in a mystical radiance. Based on initial estimates, the altar this time was ten times larger than the altar from the previous Sacred Sacrifice.
It had a diameter of a hundred miles and a height of ten thousand meters. It towered between heaven and earth, looking incomparably mystical.
Boom
Boom
Boom
The heaven and earth anomaly finally calmed down.
Other than the ninety-nine levels of the altar, everything else had disappeared. It was extremely quiet.
At this moment, the earth trembled again.
Dust soared into the sky, its power shaking the heavens.
Neat rows of silver-armored soldiers appeared. When the million-strong army took a step forward, it created a shocking rumbling sound. The ground trembled under their footsteps.
Every soldier in the army was an Inborn martial artist.
Although an Inborn martial artist was as weak as an ant in front of a Heaven Star Border martial artist, the power of the million-strong army alone was enough to make an Manifestation Realm martial artist tremble. Their aura swept across the Manifestation Realm, and it was difficult for an Manifestation Realm martial artist to resist.
In less than an hour, the million-strong army had surrounded the altar.
A passage opened up in the middle of the army.
On both sides of the passage, there were thousands of Heaven Star Border Realm guards. These guards extended from the altar to Shun 'an Prefecture.
At this moment, a spacious flying carriage appeared outside Shun 'an Prefecture.
It was a flying carriage, but it didn't look like one.
It was like a chariot. On this chariot, there was a middle-aged man in a dragon robe and a golden crown. He looked down at the world with an extraordinary aura. Beside him, there were two gorgeous ladies on his left and right.
The ladies were peerless, elegant, and noble.
"Long live the Monarch."
"Long live the Monarch."
"Long live the Monarch."
When the chariot appeared, the million-strong army and countless martial artists in Shun 'an Prefecture knelt down and saluted the middle-aged man. Even the thousands of Heaven Star Border Realm experts knelt down and saluted.
His aura was domineering.
Those martial artists who didn't know the middle-aged man knew his identity.
He was the Monarch of the Moon Kingdom, Huangfu Tianming.
His status was at the top of the Sky-sea Realm.
"Rise."
Huangfu Tianming waved his hand, indicating that the people saluting were excused.
Only after receiving Huangfu Tianhao's signal did the entire army and martial artists stand up. Countless martial artists had expressions of worship and respect. In their eyes, Huangfu Tianhao was a supreme existence, like a god.
"Huangfu Tianming."
Lin Ye was on the city wall of Shun 'an Prefecture. He looked at the middle-aged man on the chariot with a faint smile on his face.
This would be the target of his killing spree.
This was also his first time seeing Huangfu Tianming.
Behind Huangfu Jinglei's chariot were the super geniuses of the royal family, as well as the descendants of the nobles and ministers. Huangfu Jinglei was the first.
He was not only a God's Favored One, but also the Crown Prince of the Moon Kingdom.
In fact, there were more than a hundred people with the same cultivation as him. There were even many Heaven Star Realm cultivators who were stronger than him. However, due to his status, they didn't dare to be too high-profile.
The chariot quickly moved towards the altar.
Countless members of the royal family had excited looks on their faces.
The Sacred Sacrifice and the Divine Sacrifice, which happened once in a hundred years, had appeared at the same time. For them, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they could obtain the ultimate fate this time, it would change their lives.
With the speed of the chariot, it didn't take long to reach the altar.
Huangfu Tianming led a group of Heaven's Favored Ones to the altar.
"Heaven's Blessed Ones and Moon Worship."
"First, pray for the prosperity of the Baiyue Nation."
"Second, pray for the longevity of the Baiyue Nation."
"Third, pray for the prosperity of the Baiyue Nation."
"Fourth, pray for the prosperity of the Baiyue Nation."
"Five worships to the heavens, praying for heaven-defying luck to descend upon the Prodigy of the Moon."
Huangfu Tianming knelt and worshipped the altar.
Huangfu Tianming would kneel once every time he worshipped the Heavens. All the members of the royal family and the descendants of the nobles and ministers would also kneel and kowtow. The Grand Ceremony was solemn and cautious.
After the fifth, nine Manifestation Realm powerhouses of the Moon Kingdom appeared.
A magical array was activated, and a silver bowl appeared in each of their hands.
Inside the silver bowl was the blood essence of demonic beasts.
The blood essence was the blood essence of Heaven Realm demonic beasts, and there was even blood essence of King-level demonic beasts.
The nine Manifestation Realm powerhouses sprinkled the blood essence in the silver bowl onto the altar.
Although it looked like a small silver bowl, it was actually a miraculous treasure. It contained a vast amount of essence blood, and the essence blood in the silver bowl was like a surging river.
Seeing this scene, countless martial artists were shocked.
They didn't expect the Moon Kingdom to kill so many powerful demonic beasts for this Grand Ceremony.
The blood essence burned, and blood essence soared to the sky.
A magical power soared into the sky and merged with the radiance of the altar.
The moment the blood essence and the radiance merged, a nine-colored radiance descended from the altar, enveloping an area of a hundred miles. A shocking pressure crushed this part of the world, and in the void, there were continuous rumbles.
"Let the Ceremony begin."
After Huangfu Tianming finished worshipping the Heavens, a Manifestation Realm powerhouse shouted.
At the same time, Huangfu Tianming and the other Manifestation Realm powerhouses quickly left the altar. The million-strong army also quickly retreated, leaving a space of a hundred miles.
However, the geniuses of the royal family and the descendants of the nobles and ministers quickly headed towards the altar.
The ninety-ninth level of the altar.
In an hour, the geniuses of the royal family and the descendants of the palace had all climbed above the eleventh level. Huangfu Jinglei and some other super geniuses had already reached above the twentieth level.
There were even a dozen super geniuses who were even more terrifying than Huangfu Jinglei.
For the once-in-a-century Sacred Ceremony and the once-in-a-millennium Sacred Ceremony, they didn't need to endure anymore. If they missed this opportunity, they would be suppressed by Huangfu Jinglei forever. If they obtained heaven-defying luck this time, even if Huangfu Jinglei became the king, they wouldn't be afraid of Huangfu Jinglei.
After the royal family and the descendants of the nobles and ministers had all reached the eleventh level.
The army then allowed the other prodigies of the Moon Kingdom to head towards the altar.
In two hours, the Heaven Star Spirits of the Moon Kingdom had all reached the altar. Only then did the prodigies of the other thirty-five kingdoms head towards the altar.
There was a difference of more than two hours.
The person in first place had already reached the thirty-third level.
This was the priority of the Moon Kingdom.
Although the prodigies of the other thirty-five kingdoms were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, this was the Moon Kingdom. Allowing them to head to the altar was already a huge favor.
In an instant, countless prodigies swarmed towards the altar like locusts.
