456. Spirit Sacrifice

"Is the Arrogant School disrupting the plans of the Mother Earth Church?"

Outside the church, Sulu's expression also changed slightly.

Although he left some methods unused when he taught them, he wasn't confident he could use them to control those madmen, since they directly worshipped Sivinardo and had gained an unknown amount of mystical knowledge.

But now, the Arrogant School is actually actively making things difficult for the Mother Earth Church, indirectly supporting itself?

"Could it be that Allen still has a conscience? Hah... I really don't believe that."

Sulu shook his head. "Perhaps only that being can influence the Arrogant Wizard?"

"However, this is merely icing on the cake. Even if the Mother Earth Church insists on making things difficult for me, I am not afraid in the slightest..."

Sulu's figure disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was on the altar inside the city.

It was gradually getting dark.

Under the Dragon Queen's arrangement, people from every household appeared and gathered in the central square of the Royal Capital, densely packed and seemingly endless.

"Including the Soldier, the number definitely exceeds ten thousand."

Sulu looked up at the sky and saw the Morning Star shining brightly.

"Spirituality! It's the same during the day and at night, but from a mystical perspective, spirituality is more active at night..."

"The best time to offer sacrifices to the Ancient Spirit World is at the moment dusk transitions into night, representing the alternation of day and night..."

A wealth of knowledge flashed through his mind.

At this moment, Sulu had changed into a priest's robe, somewhat similar to the attire of missionaries, but with a pure white base color.

He stood quietly on the high platform, his eyes scanning the area below.

"Dragon Slayer?"

"So young..."

"Don't believe him, he's sent by the devil."

There was some unrest among the crowd below, and some people with ulterior motives were stirring things up.

But Sulu didn't get angry or roar; he just looked over calmly.

His gaze seemed to have a calming power, quickly quelling the disturbances in several places.

Everyone unconsciously lowered their breath, watching his figure and listening to his voice.

This is a widespread ' Psychic Thaumaturgy ' effect!

By employing various methods that influence the subconscious, we can stimulate the audience's emotions to achieve the best results!

As the sky gradually darkened, Sulu noticed that a bell had appeared in his hand without him noticing.

Ring ring!

With a slight flick of his wrist, his clear and ethereal voice echoed across the square, cleansing people's souls and bringing expressions of relaxation and purity to the faces of the participants.

Praise be to the ancient Spirit World!

Sulu spoke, his voice not loud, yet it seemed to resonate in everyone's ears:

"It is the convergence of boundless knowledge!"

"It is a bridge for global communication!"

"It is the beginning, it is the end... it is everything!"

"Now, let us sing praises to this great being!"

His voice is magnetic, and seems to possess an irresistible Magic Power.

This is not a commanding, domineering form of hypnosis, but rather an emotional appeal and resonance.

But an aura of authority compelled the priests to bow respectfully, following his voice as they began to pray. "Praise be to the ancient Spirit World!"

The spiritual shockwaves from tens of thousands of people, the resulting ripples, caused Sulu to change color slightly.

Through his vision, he could see that amidst the fluctuating sounds of the sacrificial rites, ripples of spiritual energy spread outwards, forming concentric circles, much like ripples on a lake.

In religious ceremonies, this is called a "Holy Tide," and it is the most devout expression of ritual...

Sulu's Inspiration spread, dominating these spiritual ripples.

Before him, the world seemed to be divided into four layers, with countless spiritual ripples constantly adjusting their frequencies to overlap with the third layer of the Spirit World.

"The Great and Ancient Spirit World!"

"I praise you! I sacrifice to you! I offer you my humble offerings!"

Sensing that the ceremony was entering a new phase, Sulu faced the altar, and a small black knife appeared in his hand.

At the center of the altar was a stone table, on which were placed the offerings he had specially prepared for this ceremony—legendary Curio!

The first thing that catches the eye is Hammer of Honununu!

This fifth-tier Curio is restricted in both the Main World and other worlds, unable to unleash its full power, and has become almost useless.

The best outcome is still being used as a sacrifice.

After all, in this world, its rank was not suppressed in the slightest!

Furthermore, they possess an exceptionally rich spirituality!

Of course, in Sulu's view, this only met the most basic requirements of the ' Spirit Sacrifice ' ritual.

He took a deep breath, and with a swift motion of his knife, he seemed to open an invisible passage.

"I offer them as a sacrifice to you!"

Accompanied by chanting, Sulu made another slash with his knife at the offerings, signifying that he was sending them to the Ancient Spirit World.

Buzz!

Under the ripples of spiritual energy, several legendary items instantly cracked and crumbled, their fragments turning to ashes.

This is because all their spirituality has been forcibly extracted.

Visible to the naked eye, several multicolored orbs of light appeared and quickly disappeared into the void passage.

Rumble!

A 'vibration' appeared, which could only be perceived by those with Inspiration.

Sulu knew that this change was caused by his 'sacrifice' opening up the three layers of the Spirit World and leading to a higher level!

The so-called ' Ancient Spirit World ' is actually a concept that transcends the three layers of the world's Spirit World!

In the next instant, Sulu's Inspiration touched upon the fourth level of the Myriad Spirit World, and even vaguely hinted at levels higher than that.

Vast, ancient, enormous...

This meant nothing to him, but for ordinary priests, it was an unforgettable experience.

If it weren't for the protection of the ritual power, they might have developed serious mental problems.

'This majesty? It feels even more immense than that of a god?'

Messiah and Ham were not present during the ceremony, but even just watching them evoked a powerful and majestic aura that made their souls tremble.

"Great Spirit World... I am guilty!"

Among the tens of thousands, some suddenly began to repent bitterly, confessing that they were spies sent by the Church, nobles, or other forces.

But in this atmosphere, many people genuinely turned against them.

Sulu was not surprised at all; he simply continued to lead the group in chanting prayers praising the Spirit World.

'This is the Ancient Spirit World... Whether you praise it or curse it, it's there! It neither grants power because of your sacrifices, nor punishes you because of your curses... It feels somewhat similar to the will of heaven or the will of the world... Of course, it's on a higher level than the latter two!'

'So... what is the purpose of the ' Spirit Sacrifice ' ritual?'

As Sulu performed the ritual, Inspiration sensed the vastness and immutability of the Spirit World, feeling a slight sense of doubt.

Just then, above the royal city.

The boundary between the Material World and the Spirit World shattered like a mirror, revealing a black hole from which came the terrifying cries of an infant.

Numerous skeletons composed of mysterious symbols emerged, combining to form a giant hand that slammed down!

"Even the sealed entity from the Bone Burial Ground has found its way here!"
